Yeah I hv that experience b4. It's due to the small broken pin on the phone charging area. U hv to bring to service centre and they will change it. They may charge u but tell them it's a common issue. They may do it for free. Don't forget tinting the station just incase the station has issues too..

[Android General] [zozi]:
hi, someone can give me some ideas? i cant install the stock rom from asus.

i installed the original recovery (provided for PaulOBrien on Modaco Forum) but after download push the rom zip intro root of sdcard and on recovery i do "install update from external storage" the flash begins but immediately says to me is "aborted"..

why?

Forget this post it my fault i forget to unzip the original file!!!! :silly::silly::silly: :o:o:o

Well this is just awesome... I tried going back to Lidenburgs ROM from my own Guerilla ROM and now im stuck at the asus white logo. Can't get into bootloader or recovery... Any suggestions ?
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
Maybe you're unluck as me. Take a look into device manager from windows if you're recognized as QHSUSB_DLOAD then see my signature, that's a hard brick.
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
Yea that's what I thought too but no. My computer didn't recognized at all. After waiting a while I managed to get it working again... (As usually)... I took the battery off for a while and let it sit. After a while I placed the battery back and I tried to power button + volume down to get to recovery. The option to go to recovery came up super fast and I had 0 chance to react. Tried again... Battery off for a while put it back and again power button + volume down and let go exactly at 5s and YES! I got to the options. Went to recovery... remounted /data and reflashed Lidenburgs ROM... All good !

Im just so darn hasty with these things... Should chillax.

I didint test because my phone go tomorow ti the repair center...
[Android General] Lidenburg:
For those of you have trouble getting into recovery, try holding down the volume down button for 5 sec, then press the power button for about 3 sec while holding down the volume down button, then keep the volume down button pressed until the message pops up, that's how I do it and the options never flash by for me

I'm using Quick Boot, it's very handy and works great

I guess everybody is blinking a blind eye for this because there are few apps on play store which does the same .. HOWEVER nothing really beats the vanilla Android experience :angel:..
[Android General] l3enjamin:
I tried some but none of them is comparable with the AOSP one for me in terms of speed, convenience and design.

I will pay for them if they can give me the same experience as the AOSP one, even the AOSP one is free.

I tried to modified phone.apk but without success, it won't load. Should I sign the package again after using apktool?

If anybody want the stock Android 4.2.2 Camera App on the PadFone 2 running 4.1, just download the 16,7mb APK here:

http://www.droid-life.com/2013/06/27/download-new-stock-camera-app-from-google-play-edition-phones/

During installation it asks permission to become a system app, which you have to allow. This also works on non-rooted devices.

After installation, you'll have the 4.2.2 Gallery app and a second Camera app in the drawer, next you your ASUS camera app.

Photospheres work, BTW :good:

We are one step closer to vanilla Android on our PadFone's, all we need now are the stock Phone and People apps...

I too submitted a similar question, after a week i got a response saying that as said before they jumped 4.2 and they "will deliver" 4.3. No dates or more explanations, just that phrase.

Just hope that i haven't have to wait for android 4.4 :(
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
Hi there PF2 fans !

I couldn't find the QHUSB_DLOAD thread so gonna post my findings here... I have been getting alot of these error's lately but never hardbricked my phone yet. I have always let it sit for 5min and after that pushed power button + volume up + volume down button to get it restarted again. It boots up just fine and the QHUSB_DLOAD error dissapears too. I can get to recovery after that... But obviously theres no OS so it jsut sticks to the White Asus Logo.

Anyways just wanted to let other's know... Maybe some way to get those phones fixed ?
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
you can find the QHSUSB_DLOAD thread right here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39928058, it's also on my signature.

You're lucky cuz these combination (Vol Up + Vol Down + Power) it doesn't work for me, phone still on black screen and device manager from windows just recognizes it as device in download mode (with properly drivers installed on windows), without the drivers it recognizes QHSUSB_DLOAD.

So in download mode there is nothing to do. It's recognized through COM port by QPST and that's it.

"No donut for me"
[Android General] SiSSiDroid:
Shame... Thought it would be some help... :(
[Android General] Lidenburg:
What happens if you hold down the vol down button for about 5 sec, hit the power button for about 3-5 sec whilst still holding the vol down button then let go of the power button and keep holding the volume down button, that's how I get into recovery when the normal way of holding the vol down and power button at the same time doesn't work.

Sadly i will made one anounce for you.

1 mouth before my padfone2 as broken, the phone dosent connect in dock but all works in Phone...

now the asus desapoint me and still dosent have my phone repaired and i need the phone for my work. Today i made I made a complaint of Asus and will return all my money. But i have afraid if that happens again, so i will not buy another padfone i go to my favorite brand HTC because there i have a excellent customer service and repair center (i know because since my first HTC (Blackstone) the service in HTC is excellent).

Sorry guys and i wish you can get CWM working and another stuffs, have here 3 exellent guys i know one day will get something :)

big hug for all!
[Android General] rafael_mfr:
that's an extremely bad news for Padfone 2 owners!

I agree with you, ASUS customer service (after sales) is bad enough which makes us change to another brand that we can feel more assisted/confortable.

I won an auction for a ASUS Padfone 2 32GB black + Station + Bluetooth Keyboard for only USD$410 +/-. That's an irrecusable offer! So finally I'll try to get the files from this working device using "QPST eMMC Software Downloader" and then apply under my defective one (see my signature). This will be my last attempt to revive it as I sent to a technician and even the JTAG didn't revive it.

Right now I'm using a SAMSUNG S4 Active from AT&T (SGH-i537) and the phone is amazing!!! After I get both devices in hands will be difficult to choose one as main device, I mean, Underwater or Station ???:rolleyes:

[Android General] Lidenburg:
Since development seems to have been still for a while here, I thought you should know that I have not stopped working. I have finally managed to get CWM booting! Now to get some minor stuff worked out then I'll start working on the good stuff ;)
[Android General] [zozi]:
Great news... You are the guy my friend...
[Android General] Lidenburg:
The current problems with it are:

adb doesn't recognize it in recovery, it does however recognize it with sideload

I can't get the sdcard to mount

And then I need to take a look and see if the "warning: No file_contexts" is something that I should be worried about.

But hey, atleast it boots!
[Android General] walaway:
Would crosschecking from twrp source work?
[Android General] Lidenburg:
I'm not sure what you mean with "crosschecking" but it would help if we had the source for the TWRP recovery for the Padfone 2, yes.
[Android General] walaway:
Well since you have it.. then you have the source to crosscheck. That means cwm sucks for padfone right now :D
[Android General] Lidenburg:
Sorry, but what is crosscheck? And I don't have the source to TWRP for the Padfone 2
[Android General] mizder:
Quick question: What's wrong with CWM exactly? I've had it running since I rooted my PF2 about 2 months ago :s
[Android General] Lidenburg:
There's nothing wrong with it, but the guy that made the cwm we use has stopped updating it. It does however still work without any problems (that I know of atleast).
[Android General] walaway:
Yeah..

But then if you really don't need the other stuff cwm can do then stick to twrp flashing with goo.I'm app
[Android General] m@f:
i was wondering...

has anyone made a NFC mod working with turned off/locked screen working with our PF2 units?
[Android General] Lidenburg:

[Android General] Sorcerer86pt:
Excellent work, I'm waiting for it. if you need a beta tester just send a PM
[Android General] :
Is there any news on 4.3 for our padfone? Not necessary to have but an update to 4.3 from Asus would be nice...

Nice work, Lidenburg. What are the changes of having a working CM version for the padfone? Due to the huge amount of custom Asus puffiness code needed for the padfone-like features...
[Android General] Lidenburg:
Okey I've uploaded the required files to make CWM recovery for the Padfone 2 to github for anyone to build/improve on if you feel like it. adb still doens't work, but everything else seems to work, I haven't tried wiping anything but the cache/dalcik cache though.

Here's the github device tree: https://github.com/Lidenburg/android-device-asus-A68

And here's the recovery image: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7ERGWwrBwR8c3BkaTVIQ1IyV28/edit?usp=sharing

Consider the recovery image as beta and use it at your own risk since I haven't tried all things and since adb isn't working without sideload
[Android General] Lidenburg:
Finally got adb to work, attached the image file to this post for those of you that wan't it.

[Android General] huzz107:
Yeah padfone2 especially the earlier ones seems to have a morbid issues.. I think they push it too early release.. I saw padfone infinity touch n play with it., n I think thats wat padfone2 should be., using mini usb,design squarish so bottom won't scratch plus brush finish n plus tab n phone Rom looks same.. so many difference that padfone2 lack of.,

Damn! That's a really bad news!

I won an auction about an ASUS Padfone 2 32GB + Station + Keyboard for only +/- USD$400,00 then I'll receive it next 18th August.

I'm in doubt if I keep my Galaxy S4 Active from AT&T (SGH-i537) which is rooted 'n unlocked and sell the Padfone 2, or I keep the Padfone 2 and sell the S4 Active. I prefer to keep the Padfone 2 and use the station which I think that it's more importante than the waterproof feature (I also have a GoPro 3 black edition), but I'm afraid of the Padfone 2 gives me another error (as my signature) and ASUS Support in Brazil doesn't exist.

:confused:
[Android General] Lidenburg:
Updated clockworkmod image, they updated it to 6.0.3.5, and I moved the adbd binary to the correct place so it doesn't conflict with adb from Cyanogenmod (future proofing), managed to compile Cyanogenmod 10.1 but it did not boot, gave me the first splash screen and then it sent me back to recovery, think it's a kernel panic/problem. Trying to build it with the kernel source Asus provided, has not gone very well so far, bunch of errors.

If anyone wants to join me in an attempt to port Cyanogenmod, please, feel free to do so.

Just got of the phone with ASUS, my unit will go back for a second repair. If the issue still exsists after this repair, they will look into the possibility of sending me new new unit or giving me my money back.

It's just a pitty, because I just loved the device (still do). Fortunately, ASUS Netherlands handles the RMA pretty good...
[Android General] Lidenburg:
Nice hearing Asus did something good for a change.

I hope everyone who's having problems with their Padfone or Asus Customer service gets their device fixed properly or the money back. I feel lucky that my unit has hold up like a champ.

porting cm10.1 to padfone 2 compile errors help please :(

Hi I'm having a problem compiling, I'm trying to port cm-10.1 to my Padfone 2(A68) and I get this error http://pastebin.com/LNmKyFF1 .

I'm using Lidenburg device tree with some of my own change that I hope are not coursing the compile errors.

I will upload it to http://github.com/spanner3003 if you wont to look. :)

Update: I'v found out the those error are because the kernel I am using is not the right version for cm-10.1(android 4.2.2) so now i'm trying to build cm-10.0(android 4.1.2) witch should work I hope.
[Android General] Lidenburg:
I got those errors too, I've seen people create a folder called "kernel-header" and "original-kernel-headers" hoping that might fix it, if not... might need to change the kernel source...

I've only managed to compile sucessfully using a prebuilt kernel

I've also updated my CM source to 10.2 instead of 10.1, since 10.1 is feature frozen and no one really cares for it any more :p

nice to see that people are working on cm for our phone.

Hey guys, whassup everyone? I'm back to this thread.

got today in hands my second padfone 2 (first one is in my signature), it's a second hand device but as brand new, with box, receipt and all the stuff plus a bluetooth keyboard from kensington for a really bargain, only CHF$411

I'm leaving my S4 Active SGH-i537 for now and give another chance to padfone 2. In fact, right now I've 2 stations (one at work other at home) also a bluetooth keyboard for office use ￼

Is there any chance to root it without use Unlock.apk from ASUS for now? I want to stay stock as possible, cuz if the device has a sudden death then I can trigger the warranty.

What are the great news for Padfone 2 for now?

ps: s4 active from att has bootloader locked (yet), so no fun with that.

So the whole thread will know
[Android General] Lidenburg:
I had to re-download the drivers, open it up, find the "android_winusb.inf" file, add "%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D001" and "%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D001&REV_0228" right under the [ASUS.NTx86] (x64 if you're running 64 bit), save it. Boot the phone into recovery, plug it in, open device manager uninstall and then install the drivers again. Then push the latest firmware to the phone with "adb push [Insert_name_here.img] /cache", flash/boot the stock recovery if you haven't already, then choose "apply update from cache", choose the name of the file you pushed and then it finally booted!

Thank you a thousand times to [zozi] for posting how to fix the drivers!

Sorry for taking so long with the new update, just got my new graphics card (GTX 760) so I've been distracted from doing anything productive, I've also started school again, which gives me less time, however on the bright side the school has 50 mb upload speeds and since I'm getting a computer for school I will be able to upload from there, so uploading will be alot faster now compared to the 2 mb I have at home.

You mean stock recovery ? Anyway... noh sure but I think you need to get a custom recovery first and if I remember correctly Lidenburg had an idea how to get it trough emulator if your bootloader is locked.
[Android General] Lidenburg:
If you download the terminal emulator app and the CWM/TWRP recovery image you should be able to flash it by writing these commands

su
cat location/of/the/recovery.img dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

or if that doesn't work you can try this instead

dd if=location/of/the/recovery.img of=dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
