I have tried 2 times full wipe and always i lost data/media directories :D Recovery shows me "cannot mount /data". I fix it always with recreating folders through adb and all folders can find in padfone 2 CWM topic. After that if I remember right need to fix permissions and reboot recovery. Ive used TWRP!

So question is: is this normal?

i using stock rom (rooted) and stock kernel so how do i install busybox for 4CylTurboNos MOD?

because i heard some people brick the phone installing busybox:confused:
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
Apparently no. Phone boot looped after I did factory reset - wipe cache - dalvik cache. Now the sucky part is that I thought I had made a backup just few minutes earlier but apparently no (dumass me!). Now I don't have any ROM on the phone and can't install one even with bastards method. And isn't /format system suppose to clean ROM not any of those what I did ? I'm back at the point I was few days ago. When I try to push the new ROM to /cache this comes up:

protocol failure

adb logcat:

- exec ´/system/bin/sh´ failed: No such file or directory (2) -

Any helps ?

Thank you !

EDIT: Apparrently I cant push any files with stock recovery but when using CWM I can push. I tryed to push the new ROM(Lidenburgs) to my sdcard with adb push update.zip /data/media... I get it there but now installion aborted.

Log shows:

Can't format partition non-vfat: datamedia

Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd

Can't format unknow volume: /emmc

I have been using busybox with the Lidenburgs ROM. Just do the SMART INSTALL that will just add the necessary binaries, DON'T do the normal installation witch will replace some of the binaries.

And what comes to 4CylTurbo remember to use the 3.5 version since thats stable ATM.
[Android General] walaway:
push it to /cache

then install from cache

you may need to go back to stock recovery
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
I can't. I flashed stock recovery but I get this error when pushing.

protocol failure

adb logcat:

- exec ´/system/bin/sh´ failed: No such file or directory (2) -

EDIT:

CWM Says this when trying to sideload or install zip from sdcard

Can't format partition non-vfat: datamedia

Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd

Can't format unknow volume: /emmc
[Android General] Lidenburg:
Have you tried pushing the ROM to the cache in CWM and then flashing it in the stock one?
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
Installation aborted :(

adb shell works in cwm but stock recovery gives me and error

- exec ´/system/bin/sh´ failed: No such file or directory (2) -

Dead padfone walking... :(

EDIT: SUCCESS!

Okey. So I made it... got it back to stock again thanks to the padfone club guide: http://www.padfoneclub.com/pl/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?6267

Only that I had to

1. flash cwm

2. then push stock ROM

3. then again flash stock recovery

4. Reboots and takes ages to load but finally its working !

Thank you both for your quick answers !

EDIT2:

I've managed to root my phone, flash cwm back but now im at the point of flashing Lidenburgs rom and I still get those weird errors

Can't partition non-vfat: datamedia

Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd

Can't format unknow volume: /emmc

Already tried "fix permissions" from cwm but that didn't help.
[Android General] walaway:
:) I always miss steps when I'm doing stuff
[Android General] DjBastard:
SiSSiDroid!!!

I solve it with these steps:

0. CMW or TWP full wipe!!!!

1. Boot into fastboot mode and install stock recovery, from ADB write:

"fastboot flash recovery recovery stock.img"

2. Boot stock recovery and from adb write:

Adb devices (may have more than one device)

"adb -s (device number) push rom.zip /cache" [Rom stock]

3. From stock recovery, Select Update from cache .......finish!!!

This should work

Luck :good:

PD: 4CylTurboNos recommend?

Works well? Noticeable changes?

thanks ;)
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
Im gonna try to summ this all up since now I really don't know what to do...

I did a full wipe (and abit further then needed apparently) "wipe data/factory reset - wipe cache/dalvik and to screw things up totally I hitted "format /system". Bootlooping as expected.

-CWM Recovery working and adb aswell.

-Flashed stock recovery and tried:

-adb push stockrom.zip /cache... but doesn't let me: Protocol Failure

-adb logcat: exec ´/system/bin/sh´ failed: No such file or directory (2)

This is how I got it working again:

-Flashed CWM

-adb push rom.zip /data/media [Stock ROM]

-adb reboot bootloader

-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [Stock recovery]

-Install update from external storage

Got back to stock ROM. So now for the rooting, new ROM part.

-reboot bootloader

-Did Paul's one click root.

-Reboot. Rooted.

Flashing CWM:

-adb reboot bootloader

-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [CWM in my case]

-Reboot. Got CWM.

Flashing Lidenburgs custom ROM:

-Placed the new ROM in the root of the sdcard

-Rebooted to Recovery

-Install zip from sdcard [LidenburgsROM in my case]

-Installation aborted

"Show Log" shows

Can't partition non-vfat: datamedia

Can't format unknown volume: /external_sd

Can't format unknow volume: /emmc

So that's the point where I am at moment and running low on options... I've done some research and I think its trying to mount the new rom to and external_sd card ? and not /data/media or even /sdcard/. But this is just my theory... :(

Would really appreaciate your help...

When I had a working Padfone it was superawesome and made my phone abit faster. Was excited that Exit_Only is going add his own entropy script ! Was running the version 3.6_r2 but that was a test realease and seems theres already 4.2 out ! Suggest you check it out !

Thanks !
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
Flashed full stock a couple of times and got this working again ! This is like the 10th time I got my phone soft-bricked ! But thank you guys for advising me and giving me the brainstorms needed to fix !

Update on the NOS Situation 4.2 is working perfectly and entropy part aswell ! So advise you NOT TO install Crossbreeder with NOS 4.2 !!! now I gotta cure this headache I have given to myself with this phone :silly:
[Android General] DjBastard:
I'm glad we'll work it ...

a question to install NOS 4.2:

flash from recovery with this:

v0.4.2: http://www.mediafire.com/?4v0ofrpmm3qcp3z

and now this?

Espara sure: S

thanks

regards
[Android General] allram:
Yes, just flash that in recovery and install terminal to check if everything works.

To check nos scripts write "4cylturbo"

to check Entropy Script "nos_entropy"

All done with su ofc.

4.2 with entropy 1.4 works like a charm on my pf2
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
Hey ! Can you confirm that entropy is working ? Thought the entropy is working but seems like everything else except the entropy boost seems are working.

I only get the entropy with NOS to 400. CrossBreeder is giving me 4096.

So uninstalled NOS entropy and flashed CrossBreeder now ads are gone and opening pages abit faster !
[Android General] allram:
I have ~4096 with nos entropy, make sure it is working in terminal. and make sure you have init.d, i installed universal init.d from Pimp My Rom :)

Nos also have adblock, it's a hosts file in /system/etc/other_host_files (just replace the one in /system/etc with this one ;)
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
Pfff of course, now I feel like an idiot. Already forgot the past 2 days of bricking...

Thanks !

I've looked at the terminal, and everything right ...

The entropy that how it goes? as you know if it works well and what is its function?

thanks

Terminal:

Su

nos_entropy

then choose 3 to monitor

if you have ~4096 it works.

if not try to go back and write 1 that will activate entropy ;)

Modified 10.4.15.1-0 update

Okey since the new update from Asus is out I did what had to be done and rooted, deodexed, zipaligned, partially debloated and added busybox to it.

To install it simply put it on your sdcard and flash it (may want to wipe cache and dalvik cache just to be sure).

I removed the following apps:

Asus pad tutorial
Asus reader
Asus setup wizard
Buddy Buzz
Chrome
Facebook poster (?)
Kindle
My bit cast
My net
PC Sync
PinPal
Pressreader
Watch calender
Zinio reader

and I also included Busybox version 1.20.2

Use fileexplorer with system write/read and search for qrngd delete the file or 2 perhaps.

usualy it's in /system/bin and /system/xbin

then try to disable nos entropy and enable it again, now it should work :)

Yeah with a full wipe/factory reset it also clears /data and that is where the internal sd-card is mounted.

I had to adb push the Rom to my phone again because it was gone from my internal sd-card after I did a factory reset [which I was accustomed to do with my HTC Desire(Bravo)] before installing lindenburg's Rom for the first time.

But after boot in to system i can connect the phone with adb.

Just in case, if my phone lose the data like a factory reset or wipe data (lose all data/rom zip) how do i sideload the rom zip?

is there any "A68" driver? i already install ASUS driver, only work on my phone booted (i can see ASUS Android Devices).

And if you want to update from lindenburg's 12.04 to lindenburg's 15.1 you can just flash if through recovery no wipes needed at all & then re-flash the mod's you're useing

Worked like a charm for me!

Initial plan is to add some build.prop tweaks, nos, centerclockmod, remove more apps (removing FM radio, sorry :)

ATM im testing some build.prop tweaks.

Oh and we should consider getting some kinda donation for Lidenburg hes just awesome Luv Lidenburg <3

So as promised heres "my" ROM with added build.prop tweaks GuerillaA68-ROM-v0.1. I managed to get the custom kernel on the v0.2 but still got wifi problems but trying to solve them as I write this.

The build prop tweaks are the only difference between mine and Lidenburgs ROM ! So credits redirected to him ! :)

If someone could be so nice to make these into a flashable zip instead of flashing the whole ROM would be awesome. You can also write this to the end of your build.prop to get these to work.

-write tweaks on build.prop

-save and check permissions -rw-r--r--

-reboot

-done

GuerillaA68-ROM-v0.1

-place in the root of your sdcard

-reboot to recovery

-install zip from sdcard and locate GuerillaA68-ROM-v0.1

-wipe cache/dalvik

-reboot

-done
