Hi there

I successfully backed up my 64mb xda I unlocked it successfully. Only problem is that during the process I ended up having to do a hard reset. Now I'm trying to restore the SD backup and the process keeps ending without finishing.

The sd backup file is 55 megs, and it seems that after a hard reset there is not enough memory available to restore the backup - Is it just me or is this situation not completely daft.

I've also had grief with activesync - it keeps on saying device unrecognised, and makes me "disconnect the port" I've even tried downloading activesync 3.6 in case it fixes the problem.

I havent changed the default "device name" either on the xda.

I'm beginning to wish I hadnt done this... can anyone offer any advice on how to restore such a large backup file, why does it need so much memory to achieve this.

And more imporantly, why do O2/microsoft provide a backup program which wont restore properly!

Help!!!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] derekcfoley:
I've done a few tests, since my last posting - and I can only presume that if you install a lot of software and or registry tweaks (like the low battery fix) then perhaps the whole 64 megs of memory is downloaded.

Using the memory management slider it is impossible to achieve the 55megs I need to restore the backup :(

On my xda after being "wiped" a backup does work,

as long as it is "not too large" e.g. smaller than about 43 megs

it seems that the SD restore program needs too much operating overhead to restore a large file such as my previous pre-unlock sd backup of 55megs...

Anyone else tried this?

Hopefully I can resynch all the contacts and calendar again, using the cradle and activesync and obviously all the downloaded software can be re-installed.

I received the ota jelly bean update 4.2.x build 10.6.1.8. All seems well except for one issue, which for me is a major issue.

The micro hdmi out port always displays at 420p, i've tried everything I can think off to get it to change. There is nothing in settings to change resolution or any hdmi settings.

Prior to the update it worked great connect the micro hdmi cable and I could play videos with dice player or bsplayer. I would get highest possible resolution, I am using the same display device that I've used for the past year, projector with hdmi. Projector is ok as I hooked another hdmi device and works fine.

So any ideas on how to fix hdmi issue ? If no fix how can I drop the back to the previous build ?

Would the new 10.1 cm rom use hdmi out ok, or anyone have suggestion of another rom that hdmi out works ok ?

I've tried rooting but have run into another problem I'll post as separate issue.

Asus says factory reset, did not work.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] one-contezero:
I can confirm the problem, I hope it's a bug and not a "feature" because the update makes hdmi output useless.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
I can't give you a fix as I don't have 4.2 yet.

I don't know your previous built so I'll give you instructions and you use the build you wish.

I'll use 10.4.2.18 as an example. Unzip Asus firmware once and put the new zip file on your internal sdcard wait if no response power down. Repower you should get the update triangle as with an ota. Accept and wait for results. I have used this to update and downgrade as well with success.

Good Luck!

no crop /scale

hi there!

so let's try my school-english....

since the last update a few days ago to android 4.2.1 i have almost the same problems with hdmi -out!

bevore the update, for example videos from the youtube-app in 1080p came to the tv in full-screen and 1080p - AND the tab-display became black - until i tapped on it for re-activating. In the status-bar there was the hdmi-button with two options: scale or crop. in one of this two cases i only saw the video on the tv in full screen, in the other option i could see the status-bar additional on the tv. I liked to use the full-screen without status-bar.

so thats history now!

since the glourious update, nothing of this works: no more hdmi-option in the status bar, only the information. no fullscreen, but the same picture like on the display-including BOTH status-bars (on the top and -hmmm- on the "floor"), and the whole picture does not fill the tv-screen. and the display of the tab doesn't get black anymore.

that's bad. very, very bad, 'cause using the tab via hdmi in 1080p to tv is one of my main use.

can anybody help, plz?!?! i hope there is a solution without "down-date" to 4.1.x!

sry 4 my bad english ;)

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1mu:
My head hurts from trying to understand the above.

Let me see if I can make some sense of it:

You installed Mobile ODIN on your P7500, downloaded the ICS ROM, and tried to install it.

Apparently Mobile ODIN failed and immediately rebooted.

Now the tablet displays something about cache.img during restarts. That means that it's not totally dead, though.

You need to boot it into download mode and use PC ODIN to flash your ROM.

However, while you can get into download mode, your computer doesn't recognize the tablet.

You've tried several USB ports with no change.

You can't boot into recovery since that just gets you Mobile ODIN.

If you boot it into download mode and your PC doesn't recognize the tablet - especially if it doesn't see anything in device manager when you connect it, your cable is bad. Replace it. Then use PC ODIN to flash your ROM.

I am on a droid incredible with 4.2.2 cm10.1. It is pretty smooth and very awesome but I am eligible for my Verizon upgrade. Should I get the DNA now and be stuck with it for the next two years(not implying its bad, from what I read here the roms are amazing and its a great phone) or should I wait for something new coming out?
[HTC Droid DNA] madzozs:
You are always going to be waiting for something new. Just get whatever you want honestly. New tech is always coming out.
[HTC Droid DNA] mwl1119:
If you plan on sticking with the phone I'd jump on the DNA through a 3rd party retailer. Look around and you will find most places have it for $50 but you have to sign a secondary contract stating you will stick with that device and the same number for 6-12 months.

It's a great phone.

That's how I was starting to feel until the DNA came out, then I had something to get excited about. Nothing before the DNA got me excited, except for the One X(+) but that was on AT&T unfortunately

I love my DNA and highly recommend Wirefly which is where I got mine. It was $50 dollars less than what Verizon was charging. I paid $149 when Verizon had it for $199, which it is still at this price. I wish I would of waited another couple of months because WF now has it for $99 to upgrade and if you are getting a new line, it is $50.

You need to keep the line activated for a minimum of 6 months or they charge you $400.

3 - Then installed the CWM 6.0.2.3 via fast boot.

4 - Tried to installed CM10.1 nightly couldn't acess SD started to get the following:

Now my TF300T only boot to CWM and I can acess it via ADB do thing like push files, but i've lost the boot loader and cannot go into fastboot.

When you said wipe, you used the wipe data option, when sitting at the first menu (boot loader menu) after pressing power and vol down ?

One other thing I'd share here to is that the factory wipe, from within settings, for me does not work, it boots to twrp / recovery, when I exit all data still there. So was wondering which one you used ?

Is the encryption on the partitions from sbk nvflash crap (i'm thinking not ??) or just an encrypted ext4 partition ??

Hello I have 4.1.1 It is unlocked. I have flashed the CWM and when I boot into recovery I only see the sd card and will not let me rrot via the zip either. I get an error in CWM saying that root persmissions need to be fixed. I have tried to fix then not to fix. Still nothing.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
This is a fishing trip. 4.2 is multi-user, for multi-user to work the tablet has to be encrypted or users could access each others space. I don't have 4.2 so I can't test. If multi-user is deactivated encryption is not necessary. If multi-user is turned off can you find a setting to unencrypt?

It seems I remember someone unencrypting with twrp or fastboot but it took three tries, multi-user would still need to be off. This is not a suggestion just my thoughts.

My version of fastboot does not list unencrypt as an option.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyjsan:
Holy cow I now have cm 10.1, root, and hdmi out problem fixed. After lots digging to be sure I did not screw the tablet up here is what I did.

1) Downgrade to US_10.4.2.20, using fastboot and blob from asus web site.

2) after rebooting I had the previous boot-loader screen (in which usb icon shows), I re-installed recovery twrp2.

3) I did not even bother to boot into 10.4.2.20, went straight to recovery and I had access to cache, data, sdcard etc...

4) adb pushed the cm 10.1 zip to the sdcard and the gapps zip as well.

5) flash cm 10.1 then gapps

6) reboot and all is well.

There is one word of caution, not sure what happen but do not use the usb port on the keyboard dock with cm 10.1, it zapped a usb jump drive and a 500 gb portable drive :(, still looking into if I can recovery the drive and what caused it.

I's so glad I'm on CM 10.1 tablet running faster just seems to perform better.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc21:
I have also had this issue and managed to come back from it.

In doing some testing of the new ota update 4.2.1 (10.6.1.8) I have found that this issue is a direct result of the new 4.2.1 bootloader, it will not work with any custom recovery. twrp will give password prompt and be unable to mount anything but possible system, same goes for cwm minus the password prompt.

After doing a full wipe from twrp and then flashing just the new 4.2.1 bootloader, I rebooted back into twrp and it's encrypted, can't mount anything.

This method will not work if you cannot flash from fastboot successfully. In fact if you have attempted any other way to fix it may not work.

After I rebooted twrp to find it was encrypted the first thing I did was to reboot into fastboot mode and did the following:

flashed the 4.2.1 stock recovery, I have uploaded to here

Copy the "stock.blob" file to your android-sdk\platform-tools folder.

Also download the "US_epaduser_10_4_2_20_UpdateLauncher.zip" from the Asus website and unzip,

In the unzipped folder you will then have another zip file "US_epad-user-10.4.2.20.zip" unzip this also and now in that unzipped folder you will have a "blob" file, copy this to your android-sdk\platform-tools folder.

Boot into fastboot and check your pc can see your device:

open a command prompt and cd to your platform-tools directory.

fastboot devices

This should return your device serial, if not then fastboot is not setup correctly.

Next:

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery stock.blob
fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot

Boot back into fastboot:

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash system blob
fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot

The system blob will take some time 10min or so to flash, so just give it some time then issue the reboot command.

Also first reboot after system blob flash will take some time, you will see a progress bar under the Asus logo.

Once your tablet has fully loaded you can now boot back into fastboot and flash a custom recovery & flash custom rom again.

I do suggest skipping the 4.2.1 update for now until this issue has been fixed.

As I have said this may not work for everyone depending on if you have attempted any other commands via fastboot or adb.

This has worked for me twice now but try at own risk.

Question: You said you reflashed the stock bootloader. I had gotten my tf300 couple days ago but went through the ota update not thinking of issues if wanted to root so I'm not rooted totally stock on 4.2.1but if possible would like to flash back to stock locked bootloader if possible. After reading all the issues with trying to flash custom recovery and root after ota figured I'd just wait till some of the issues are figured out. I'm new to this device but have rooted many other android phones in the passed so not a total noob just learning about this one been reading alot. Just wondering if there were a way to do so for future updates as i read you lose ota capability if unlocked. Thanks
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xbill9:
This approach recovered the tablet.

As long as the bootloader is working - it is probably fixable.

Here is how I got it to work:

-preloaded my ROM and Gapps on the SD card

-flashed stock system blob (for the right region) from the ASUS website

-let the stock ROM reboot

-it hangs - but will be visible from ADB

-reboot to fastboot

-install TWRP or CWM from fastboot

-reboot recovery

-then flash ROM + Gapps

There has to be something in the new OTA bootloader or OTA system that

locks down the partitions.
