You're right. I'm on stock recovery + locked bootloader, just rooted with framaroot 1 click tool. Also want to stay most stock as possible in order to trigger warranty if phone has a sudden death as the one in my signature.
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
Try out that method of Lidenburg... Not sure if it works tho... It should... Own risk ofc again... :D

I have tried to flash a custom recovery with the locked bootloader and the phone will not boot with an error message "unauthorized recovery" (or something like that), and your phone will be bricked since you cannot get into fastboot with a locked bootloader.
[Android General] Lidenburg:
Okey too bad, that means you can't have a custom recovery with a locked bootloader
[Android General] walaway:
Okay, since I'm not the one using my padfone lately, I'll need to get briefed on the new update.

I'll work with mostly the bootloader unlocked processes because it has the most fail-safe methods.

As far us locked bootloaders are concerned just hit me up with the steps and all, I wouldn't advise this but it seems to be a requirement for some batches of the PF2(The ones that hard brick to dust)+
[Android General] BPM:
can i remove the stock launcher in a clean way?

i want to have a slim rom with my 2 favorite launchers (one for phone and one for tab).

is it possible to use the same launcher with different settings depending on phone and tab mode?

with the launcher switcher i have to use two different launchers to have different settings. it would be really cool if it would be possible with one launcher.
[Android General] mizder:
Hey, lidenburg if you need any more testers for anything at all, please pm me, I really appreciate what you do for us pf2 owners and would be glad to help in any way :) she goes for anyone else who needs things tested on a padfone 2!

New motherboard, unlock tool doesn't work

My padfone 2 came from repair... with a new motherboard. The unlock tool provided by asus doesn't work. I rooted my device with "framaroot". I would like to install a custom recovery and a custom rom, but, like i read here, looks like that i cannot do it without unlock the bootloader. Is there another way to unlock the bootloader, or install working tprw or cwm? Tanks...
[Android General] [zozi]:
Its just a tip... Creat a new google account, make full wipe on padfone, register the new google accoount on padfone then try use again the unlock tool from asus with that new account.
[Android General] Koplinjp:
I'll do propper backup, i'll try it and post the results... Tanks for the tip...:good:
[Android General] Koplinjp:
new motherboard, new google account to unlock

Hello again... I did a backup, a full wipe, create a new google account, installed unlock.apk from asus site for asus PF2... No good...
[Android General] walaway:
This repaired thing sucks eh.. what did asus have to say about that issue?
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
Qhsusb_dload

Do any of you guys know how can I revive my Padfone 2 (QHSUSB_DLOAD error) as I have another funcional Padfone 2 in hands? The new one is rooted (with framaroot) on latest fw (WWE V10.4.17.7) but with bootloader locked (I didn't try Unlock Bootloader Device App yet).

I can't get the new Padfone 2 recognized through QPST Configuration while phone is turned on. Should I unlock bootloader before, then go to fastboot mode to get recognized through QPST? Does QCN extracted with QPST eMMCSoftwareDownload file will help me to revive the dead one? For those who don't know what I'm talking about: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2220775

I don't wish to unlock my bootloader in order to trigger warranty if I need it someday. I already lost my first one with a sudden death and don't want to get my second device in the same way. However if it's the unique way, I'll unlock it.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

EDIT =============================

Unfortunatelly it doesn't work. Phone is properly recognized through COM port, still in Download mode (black screen) but any commands I choose on the AndRootKit, they simple don't work, do nothing.
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
When I started rooting PF2 and got it soft bricked I had problems connecting it to my PC but after I installed Pdanet+ for my PC I have been able to connect it. Otherwise my adb won't work in recovery.
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
is it the PdaNet+ you're talking about? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdanet&hl=en

my phone can't boot properly into Android, so how can I install it?

the phone still with black screen and pc recognizes it as in Download mode only (through QPST Config).
[Android General] BPM:
just try installing PdaNet+ on your pc.

solved a connection problem for me too (thx SiSSiDroid again for this hint)
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
Do you have the link to download? Please! :good:

The one I found is an app to install on the phone.
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
http://pdanet.co

There you go. I don't really know what it does. I just found that hint from somewhere here in xda and it worked for me and BPM :)
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
Should I uninstall any android drivers previous installed on my pc before install Pdanet+?
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
No need to. The thing for me was that I had installed all the necessary drivers and ADB was working just fine when to phone was running. But if I went to fastboot or recovery, ADB couldn't find my device anymore... After installing Pdanet+ it was working. It also gives a POP-UP window when the device get's connect trough recovery or fastboot.
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
wow! That sounds good! ADB can't recognizes my phone while in download mode. Maybe it works with this app you said. I'll give a try and will post my results here later.

OFF: I got a third station for Padfone 2 (from a friend of mine who got the same brick, qhsusb_dload), are you interested? I'm waiting for your PM.
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
Hopefully that works and you get 3 Padfone's 2. Also one more thing I have been getting that qhsusb_dload error too bet I've always managed to get passed it maybe it's because Pdanet+ ?

Answered your PM ;)

[Android General] BPM:

[Android General] rafael_mfr:
Unfortunatelly it doesn't work for me, tried on my alienware at home also on my notebook from my girlfriend which was clean (no drivers installed at all).

QPST recognizes it as in Download mode, however ADB can't recognizes it through command: adb devices, even with PdaNet+ installed on PC.

:crying:
[Android General] Lidenburg:
What's qpst? And if by "download mode" you mean fastboot, then adb is not supposed to work.
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
QPST means "Qualcomm Product Service Tools". It's a suite with some tools for Qualcomm chipset devices.

There is a tool called QPST Configuration which recognizes my phone through COM port and says it's in download mode. However I can't do nothing with the phone, because screen stays black forever.

What should I do to take my phone out from this Download mode?

http://www.x-drivers.com/catalog/flash/mobile_phones/companies/qualcomm/models/qpst/12051.html

The newest version 2.7.374 (if I'm not wrong) also has a tool called QPST Software Downloader which suppose to backup and flash fw from the phone, but I'm not able to do this, it alsways gives me an error.
[Android General] Lidenburg:
Cool, I'll give that a try sometime, sounds cool. Sorry but I don't know what you can do, I'm assuming you can't access recovery mode or fastboot mode, and without one of those it's pretty much impossible to bring it back to life.
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
Exactly! No recovery and no fastboot.

Hmmm ... Q3 is almost over ...
[Android General] BPM:
i am sad because i am not able to find a possibility to bet at the release date at bwin.com

i would bet 100€ that they are not able to release it this month.

i am nearly shure that somebody here port cyanogenmod before asus release the update
[Android General] Explorer23:
Let's hope so. People are trying to port CM to Padfone 2 for months already, but still no Beta or anything ... I guess the Station is problematic (resolution and dpi change, double launcher, different app behavior ...)
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
Yea people got stuck on a kernel error :(

But there's still light in the project it's not totally forgotten... So hopefully someday...
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
Imagine how many problems will occurs when people use this tablet coreless with Galaxy S4

looks like someone stole the padfone idea :D
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
I don't get how can it work for both S3 and S4 ? There totally different size's ?

Otherwise... I got a Sammy in my mind !
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
yeah, but keep in mind that both have the same connector and on same position, maybe the S3 (which is minor) has a kind of support to insert it properly. I really don't know.

There is a hands-on on youtube from MobileTechVideos, but they're using a S4 as example.
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
That's what I thought too... Anyways you really got me interested in this. Hoping to find some reviews soon.

EDIT: Found some info saying it has a battery inside but nothing else and it can't even charge your phone :(
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
pay attention to the keyboard, it's an exactly copy of keyboard from ASUS Transformer (TF101) LOL :D

I had a TF101 for a couple of years, that was an awesome device for it purpose.
[Android General] Lidenburg:
We can't even build CM successfully yet, I promise that as soon as we get a bootable version of cyanogenmod we will release it here for people to use. Progress is being made, don't worry ;)
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
Omg your right ! Atleast for the lock part it's totally the same !
[Android General] Lidenburg:
Finally got to uploading my ROM, same stuff as usual, will update this post with more details when I get home, but for now here's the download link.

Edit:

Okey I'm home now.

Asus Pad Tutorial
Asus Reader
Asus Setup Wizard

It should not be necessary to wipe anything, but if you want to be extra sure wipe the cache/dalvik cache

Hey guys, is anyone else having issues with the headphone jack being really loose? My PF2's jack was working fine, but now I've notice that any headphone cable i plug into, just slides out a bit by itself, and this is causing distorted sound... I did a bit of research and found a post on padfonelcub website about a guy with the same issue, and apparently he fixed it, but hasn't responded yet about how. Any assistance is much appreciated, thankyou.

No fastboot, no recovery, no vibration on start, nothing. I found a program of qualcomm and I was able to see and comunicate with my phone. I need a partition.bin.

Could someone with root permision give me some help retrieving some info?

I need the partition table structure (not fstab).

in terminal or with adb:

Thank you, strange that the command is not present. I need the partition layout in spec, this output are only the filesystem.

Maybe fdisk is present only with busybox.

If anyone with root and busybox could run this commad will be great!

su

fdisk -p /dev/block/mmcblk0 >/sdcard/part_table2

this will create a file in the sd called part_table
[Android General] Explorer23:
Yes, I was on stock without busybox. But now I flashed Guerilla ROM 1.2 OC and have busybox, but now there's different problem.

With that command (fdisk -p /dev/block/mmcblk0 >/sdcard/part_table2) I get the "unknown option" error. Obviously "-p" doesn't work with fdisk.

I also tried fdisk -l and nothing happens, just like Sissidroid said before.
[Android General] Lidenburg:
yes fdisk only comes with busybox, and the -p flag is not an option for it, the available flags are: -u, -l, -b, -C, -H and -S

fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0 gives this though

People with unlocked bootloader and still have root access and can't flash a recovery. Jannu807 found that flashify enable's the flashing of recoveries has anyone of you tried this ?

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/07...pbox-and-more/

PLEASE NOTE POSSIBLE DEVICE FAILURE!
[Android General] Jannu703:
I think that installing recovery with flashify to phone with locked bootloader can cause bootloader error and soft brick or even hard brick...:confused:

I have not experience about this with padfone 2 but with Optimus G my locked bootloader really f**ked up with custom recovery.. Only way to fix that was emergency flash to stock.

I wonder if we will ever see 4.4 KitKat running on our PadFones...
[Android General] n_god:

[Android General] Explorer23:
4.4 is lighter, optimized for lower-end devices, so it SHOULD be available on more devices ... Let's just hope ASUS makes it for our beloved PadFone 2. At least we're supposed to get 4.3 in Q1 2014. Better than nothing :P
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
Thought we were getting the 4.3 at Q3 2013 ? :D

It was Q3 2013 indeed, but then I found some newer info saying they corrected it to Q1 2014. I hope it really comes out ... Padfone 2 is less than a year old, it deserves update.

I hope 4.4 really comes out for our Padfone's, but this article is just a prediction with no real info. They also stated that Galaxy Nexus will get the update, while Google already officially announced that it will not.

In my opinion every device from last two years should be updated to 4.4, as it was designed for lower spec devices ... but reality is different. I'm pretty sure both Infinities will get the update, but I'm a bit sceptical about PF2.

Let's just hope ASUS doesn't forget it ...
