[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
OK, so here's the problem. We have a CWM for locked bootloaders but as of .489 JB firmware you can't get to it by pushing vol+ on boot. This is somehow kernel related because it works again if you flash a .223 kernel but then the phone doesn't boot after rebooting from CWM (which is sort of expected). I've found a workaround but it's ugly and tedious to do every time you want to go to recovery.

The script I made to automate this process doesn't really work and I don't have much know-how in this department so would really appreciate some help on improving the script or better yet, tackle the problem at the root.

Now I'll go into some more detailed description of the problem and the things I've already tried.

The way the CWM for locked bootloaders works is by replacing /system/bin/chargemon with a script that looks for the keypress and subsequently starts the recovery boot process. (I've attached the whole script, just remove .txt)

${CAT} /dev/input/event0 > ${WORKDIR}/keycheck &

For reasons yet unknown to me the keypress is not logged to the keycheck file, the file is empty, whereas on .223 you see symbols recorded to this file. Thinking no key has been pressed, the script continues normal boot.

My workaround was to comment out lines 108 & 178, the keycheck condition, forcing it to go to recovery. The downside to that is that the phone will keep rebooting to recovery unless you flash the CWM zip again before leaving recovery, or recovering the original chargemon with adb shell.

I made a script to copy chargemon to /system/bin and setting the permissions, then rebooting,

#!/system/bin/sh
# script to boot to recovery
# on Xperia T 9.1.A.0.489
# by TiMiN8R
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /system/bin/chargemon /sytem/bin/chargemon.bak
cp chargemon /system/bin
chown 0.2000 /system/bin/chargemon
chmod 0755 /system/bin/chargemon
reboot
reboot

but I keep getting "failed on chargemon: no such file or directory". Of course the file is there, this is some stupid permissions issue, the shell script not having proper rights to manipulate the file or something, but my knowledge of this is too limited. I've googled and tried stuff like changing permissions and ownership of the script but to no avail. Also tried running the sript with Gscript and SManager but with same results.

So please, anyone with some shell scripting experience, shine your light on this. It'd be much appreciated by me and a lot of other people!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
change your script like this and try that

#!/system/bin/sh
# script to boot to recovery
# on Xperia T 9.1.A.0.489
# by TiMiN8R & Crazymister
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /system/bin
mv chargemon chargemon.bak
cd /
cp chargemon /system/bin/
cd /system/bin
chown 0.2000 /system/bin/chargemon
chmod 0755 /system/bin/chargemon
reboot

it's a little dirty scripting, but it seems to work in adb at least. so should work from terminal emulater also is you save it as yourfilename.sh
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
Thanks but doesn't work,. Gives me same errors I had before. But I've devised a better method. I'll post it tonight when I get home.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
Re: [Q] Need help fixing CWM for locked bootloaders

Yes! Thank you so much. Glad it is so easy. Changed event0 to event7 in the chargemon script and successfully got into CWM. :D
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] crazymister:
so if i understand correctly, if you change evento > event 7 volume up/down works?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] TiMiN8R:
Re: [Q] Need help fixing CWM for locked bootloaders

Yup, changing to event7 means we can use vol up again to get to recovery.

Does anyone know how to do this? I hate my status bar icons currently. My phone set-up currently is as follows:

Note 2 Root Toolbox (I believe this is odin)

Stock Rom

TWRP Recovery

Custom Boot Animation and Audio

Beats Audio Drivers

A few other things are done but they are not worth mentioning. I am opening to anything from changing the icons one by one to changing the whole theme. Thank you very much in advance for all of your help.

-Mike:beer:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] swalter718:
I believe that you need a deodexed ROM to do any theme mods to the top status bar. If you're unsure, look in the system/app directory, and if you have .odex files, you are not "deodexed". Once you're running a deodexed ROM, you can apply any number of status bar mods that are available for your particular ROM-base (ie LJC, LK8,MA5). I'm sure someone more knowledgeable can give you more specific information on how to build those mods yourself if you want. Hope this helps a little :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hehateme2812:
Thanks, I am not deoxed yet, hopefully someone could help me with that. I want ro be able to use ota updates still though. Will I be able to?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] swalter718:
You need the stock recovery to receive OTA updates, and you've already flashed TWRP. If you like the stock ROM and are only looking to theme it, I suggest you download an appropriate deodexed version from the development forum. Stock deodexed ROMs for LJ1, LJC, LK8, and MA5 are all available. Once you flash the new ROM, you can apply flashable themes from the themes forum.

Not a noob have loaded several roms before this one

help :(
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wedgess:
Ok wow didnt know the 720p version was that slow at booting and at TWRP ill have to fix that during the week. Just use the 480p version which is on my thread. A thing that not mentioned was you must flash the ftf with unlocked vendor partitions. You can find it on the kernels thread.

Read the kernels OP and you will be fine.

I have a TF300T. I unlocked it from the ASUS website. I know what I am doing and Have flashed 100's of roms. Somehow it got stuck in a bootloop. Nothing I tried worked. I called Asus tech support, told them it was UNLOCKED and what my problem was. They said no problem, sned it in and they would fix it for me. The never mentioned and cost. I shipped it 2nd day air for $20, they got it on 01/28/13. Only today they sent me an email saying it was out of warranty and they wanted 122 for motherboard, 65 for labor and 20 for return shipping for a grand total of $207 on a tablet I bought 1 month ago for $279.

I am furious at the nerve of them. I might as well sell it as is on Ebay,and buy a quality Tablet like a Nexus 10 or Samsung......
[Transformer TF300T General] l33ch0r:
That's exactly the reason why I don't dare to root/unlock this device without having nvflash (which of course isn't there with jb bootloader - not yet) - even if you executed this procedure on numerous other devices with success, there's still a small chance of something like you experienced to happen...

And since I notice threads about bricks and stuff every few days here I'm frightened to try it on my device...

I can understand you, I'd be furious as well :/
[Transformer TF300T General] theMasterplan84:
Tbf I think it does state that unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty and no matter what tablet you get if you mess about with it by rooting you will struggle getting it fixed for free under warranty.

It is a risk you take when unlocking/rooting/installing custom rom on any device
[Transformer TF300T General] NixZero:
you said yourself that you explicitly declared that your tablet had a void warranty and then you want that the repair will be done under warranty?

that's... pretty illogical.
[Transformer TF300T General] ScottBroker:
I said it was unlocked. The aget told me they would fix it. He did not say We will fix it and charge you alomst the price you can buy one for.. Also When I had a Dell or gateway repair, I had my laptop back in 4 days. This is almost 2 weeks and they have not repaired it yet.
[Transformer TF300T General] theMasterplan84:
Wrong for them not to even mention that they would charge but with regards to the cost of repair they wouldn't know what the fault is till they received the unit so wouldn't be able to give an amount. Parts plus labour do mount up.

Could you not get it repaired and have it sent back then sell as faulty on eBay?

Lessons of the day

Don't do anything to the tablet if the manufacturers say it voids the warranty

If you do don't tell the manufacturer you did something to void the warranty

Expect a bill for repair and then it's a bonus if you get it repaired for free
[Transformer TF300T General] sbdags:
If you are only in a boot loop you should be able to fix it yourself. If you have corrupted the boot loader that is a different matter.

Tell them you have changed your mind and for them to send it back in the state you sent it in.

What exactly did you do to get it bootlooping?
[Transformer TF300T General] elesbb:
It clearly states that unlocking your device voids the warranty. If you thought you would get repairs for free after voiding any type of warranty on any merchandise, you clearly are a moron. And judging from this post, thats exactly that. You clearly had no idea what you were doing and now you killed your device and pretty much are b*tching about having to get it fixed. Well you only have yourself to blame not a single other person or entity.

Grow up and face the consequences of your actions. Threads like these are pointless and stupid.
[Transformer TF300T General] ScottBroker:
Not as pointless as your reply
[Transformer TF300T General] elesbb:
Well there is nothing to reply to, all you are doing is ranting and b*tching in your post. Its not like youre asking for help, or getting recommandations. So there really isnt more to say than what i already said.
[Transformer TF300T General] -angel*:
Dude, I know how it is to brick a device (I had the mmc_cap_erase brickbug on my i9100), BUT that's absolutely no reason to be unfriendly here! If you had read what it says in the bootloader unlock app you would have seen that it says there that it would void your warranty - also you should ask yourself why you have a bootloop and try to fix it yourself with fastboot etc. before sending to them - in my case I could fortunately reset the counter on the i9100 because of dualboot etc., BUT I didn't be unfriendly to anybody although one id*ot wrote me a PM with "Haha, how does it feel to brick?"
[Transformer TF300T General] {Karnak}:
I don't see what you feel the need to be so upset about. Do you believe having purchased a tablet, and voluntarily unlocked it, a method that clearly stated in multiple places (ASUS website, and your device screen during the unlock process) that it has a high likelihood of leaving you out in the cold, under ASUS' discretion that you are arbitrarily entitled to free repair regardless of condition? You should have read the Terms and Conditions, or returned the tablet once you figured out that this introduces a level of risk that might be greater than that of other tablets on the market. You brought this on yourself, bud. You, whether you want to grow up and face it, accepted the risks when you unlocked it. Additionally, I see ASUS not quoting you a price or informing you of any costs over the phone giving you the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't something ASUS was at fault for, especially considering you even said to the tech it was unlocked before sending it. This is a great tablet for the money, don't let the fact that your accidental bricking and apparent inability to assume responsibility you took on from the get-go obfuscate that fact.

All that being said, I still want to offer you an alternative that several customers of mine have done to fix their tablets, a few of them including TF300T owners. A TF300T motherboard is going for around $100(USD), so it is economical for you to fix it. There are guides around the net on disassembly procedure. Either that, or you can give up and sell it on eBay As-Is, and get a pretty similar tablet for ~$100 more than you need to spend.
[Transformer TF300T General] ScottBroker:
Thanks for all the suggestions and comments. First of all, I am not a novice, I have been flashing for years and flash roms on my T999 almost every week. I was just angry because I told them I had unlocked it, I was prepared to pay a reasonable cost to fix it. I spent $279 to buy it new, I though 220 to fix it was a bit unreasonable.

On a side not, buy everything with an American Express card as they have accidental damage and or extended warranty covered with any purchase. I submitted a claim, and they gave me back the $279 paid for the unit, and I get to keep the existing one.

Again, I was just pissed that ASUS did not mention any cost even though I told them I unlocked it.

Woah you got to keep both units?! Lucky lol.

I just wanna apologize, my first post was a bit hostile. I'm just tired of seeing ranting posts where people want to pass on their own faults to others. XDA is a place for help. I'm more than willing to help anyone. If your original post stated "what are my options" or "now what can I do" and even a change in thread title.. I would have never posted that first post.

But usually when you void your warranty, all costs are on the consumer

Always ask the manufacturer if something will be covered.

[Transformer TF300T General] Paleryder:
Friend I would seriously try to adb flash tarp recovery and push a CM10 ROM to the device before paying anyone to do anything you probably got a bad dload on your recovery our ROM. Which brings me to my second point make sure to md5 checksum your files before flashing.
[Transformer TF300T General] monsterduc1000:
I think if the unlocking process is what caused the bootloop, then Asus should cover all costs of the repair as it would be their unlocking tool that caused the problem. If it was the flashing of a different rom or kernel that caused this, then yes, all cost to the user.
[Transformer TF300T General] mike-y:
I think it's been shown that ASUS will repair the tablet without charge if it's discovered the problem was caused by a hardware defect. but if it's a software error, caused by something you did, then obviously, they will charge you to fix it. When you first talked to them, they couldn't tell if it was a hardware or software issue until they had it in their hands.

That said, I read many posts about unlocking and installing recovery on this tablet, and then watched a couple of videos just to make sure I understood the process. I didn't bother with NVflash, because it looked complicated and seemed to cause it's own issues.

Anyway, followed directions for a basic unlock and recovery install through a video and it couldn't have been easier. Sorry you somehow managed to brick yours, but I found the process to be fairly simple, and couldn't be happier with my purchase.

good luck with the next one tho!

Hi xda doods!

I own an old verizon galaxy Tab 7 (sch-1800), but it fails on boot, i'm stuck at Verizon splashscreen. I can access to download mode and recovery mode, but factory reset fails too. It says cache and stuff can't be mounted.

I can't find a lot of info about the sch-1800.

I managed to find the stock rom, and install it with Odin. So now i only can see some...noisy rainbow instead of the splash.

I still have access to download mode and recovery.

I'm wondering what should i put into Odin or how can i apply stuff with the SD card to make it run again

I can't find any answer on the forum about the SCH-1800

Thanks for any help, or helpful link

My Nexus 4's volume rocker is slightly wobbly. Is that normal? It's also fairly low against the phone. I can press it fine, but wondering if it should be more extended? Or are they all like this?

Secondly, I bought a cheap TPU case to tie me over till my Ionic Guardian arrives. It's similar to this;

I couldn't use the volume buttons with the case on so used a knife to cut out the piece over the buttons. I can now access them but I can only use my nail. Could that damage my phone using doing that instead of using the full finger?
