Trying to install the recovery, my device is unlocked. My tablet wont respond to my fastboot commands and is stuck at saying "Starting Fastboot USB download protocol".

Dunno if that's right or not but I type fastboot devices on the cmd prompt and get nothing but a lot of black after the new line. When I tried flashing the recovery it hung on "waiting for device."

Any thoughts?

Re: [GUIDE] Update/Recovery/Root Android 4.2.1 on Unlocked Devices

You probably need to install drivers on your computer for it to recognize your tablet...
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
Re: [GUIDE] Update/Recovery/Root Android 4.2.1 on Unlocked Devices

Sounds like a driver problem. Reinstall all USB drivers perhaps?
[Transformer TF300T General] DjNawo:
Re: [GUIDE] Update/Recovery/Root Android 4.2.1 on Unlocked Devices

Yeah that's what I figured was up. Any easy way to do that without installing the Asus sync thing?
[Transformer TF300T General] ricco333:
Re: [GUIDE] Update/Recovery/Root Android 4.2.1 on Unlocked Devices

Search for installing adb naked drivers, I know I saw it but I just don't remember where.

[Transformer TF300T General] DjNawo:
Couldn't figure out how to install without The Asus PC Sync so I downloaded it and began to install it. Lucky for me it needs to install the USB drivers before the installation begins so I just installed the drivers and then didn't continue with the Program installation. Thanks everyone who helped.
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
Re: [GUIDE] Update/Recovery/Root Android 4.2.1 on Unlocked Devices

LOL that's kind of what I did too, only backwards. I installed it all, then stripped off the sync stuff, leaving the drivers. I have seen just the drivers portion posted here somewhere, just can't remember where.
[Transformer TF300T General] Rhian:
Thanks OP (joelalmeidaptg)!

My Transformer is only a week old and I wanted to root it. I tried a few methods, but only the patched TWRP works. (I'm guessing it has something to do with it being a 10.6.1.8 and a special tweak to access the filesystem.) Before the patched versions I ran into "E: Can't mount /..." <- various mount points and couldn't find the SuperUser zip file (or any other files).

Now I am curios, do I need to keep an eye out for patched TWRPs in the future or will this somehow be added in the newer releases?
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
Re: [GUIDE] Update/Recovery/Root Android 4.2.1 on Unlocked Devices

It will most likely be updated, but hang on to your patched version just in case the newer ones don't want to mount things. I'm sure they'll get it straight.

All of your assumptions were correct as to why things did / did not work.
[Transformer TF300T General] FlowingAway:
So now that I have the 4.2.1 update, I'm immediately getting a notification saying there is a software update. If I click ok like I'm about to download it and apply it, it says "system downgrade available" and "the system downgrade process will take.....etc"

Why would I be getting this?
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
Re: [GUIDE] Update/Recovery/Root Android 4.2.1 on Unlocked Devices

Check with a file explorer in the root of your internal storage or SD card to see if you have a zip file in there which would be an older ROM. Delete it, reboot, no more alerts hopefully.
[Transformer TF300T General] FlowingAway:
Thanks for the help funnel. I've since posting last, ran into some more weirdness. Once I got to poking around in the new 4.2.1 update, I noticed the launcher didn't have the black bars on top like 4.2.1 is supposed to. Did it not flash it correctly or something? It said 4.2.1 in the about tablet settings, but with the other weirdness going on, it has me a little confused. Also when I flashed the tweaked version of TWRP, it doesn't recognize my internal storage either. I'm very confused and never had problems like this before.

Edit: There is a setting in the options to switch between the 4.2 style and 4.1 style launcher. Oops lol. Still don't know why the TWRP doesn't recognize my internal storage.

Running 4.2.1, if I unlock and root, will bluetooth work like in 4.1?

My bluetooth controller (icade) will not pair since the OTA 4.2.1. If I unlock the bootloader and root it, will my bluetooth work again like it did in 4.1?

Can I root and run 4.1 to fix my problem?

Is there any OTHER way to get my bluetooth working, instead of hoping Android fix it in a future release?
[Transformer TF300T General] kyokeun1234:
This is a problem with Android 4.2 but people are saying that Bluetooth will work if you try reflashing it. You could give it a try. Also I believe somebody found a way to fix the bluetooth in Android 4.2. You'll need to search that up. I believe that method needed root though.

How do i reflash bluetooth?

I am sorry if this is dumb question, but I am new to the whole rooting/modding process. If you could provide steps or a link to steps or a guide, I would really appreciate it.

I did "search it up", I also have posts on certain threads asking for some clarification. Some people said 4.2.2 fixed bluetooth, others said it didn't, so there may be multiple issues with bluetooth and some methods fix some of them? ( I am not sure). Some people just had audio issues, where mine is basically not being about to pair a device, in this case a controller, which is supposed to act like a bluetooth keyboard, if that makes any difference?

Some people said to "fix permissions", not sure how to do that (is this part of rooting it)? and I am not sure if that fixes bluetooth controllers.

I am willing to try anything, rooting it to 4.2.1 or 4.1 (if possible), or just reflashing or fixing permissions - I just don't want to brick or mess up my tablet Ii really love it). I just really want my icade to work. I am kinda depressed to buy an icade and do tons of work with mame for several days, only to find out that an android OTA broke bluetooth, and now it doesn't work at all. Please help!
[Transformer TF300T General] joelalmeidaptg:
Re: [GUIDE] Update/Recovery/Root Android 4.2.1 on Unlocked Devices

He was talking about reflashing Android 4.2.1. Download the firmware from Asus site, put it on a SD card and "update" to the firware by using the notification that appears on the tablet once you insert the SD card. This is the safest method if you don't want to root/unlock your tablet and keep your warranty. Fixing permissions needs root/custom recovery. Using the firmware from Asus site may work for you.

Bluetooth was indeed broken on 4.2.1 and fixed on 4.2.2, but Asus managed to fix it on 4.2.1. It's working perfectly here

[Transformer TF300T General] sunnywhite:
I am in the rebooting loop, ASUS logo can get in the ROM

-- Rooting --

Rooting the tablet once you have a recovery is pretty easy. Here's how you can do it

Download SuperSu zip file from here and place it on a SD card or inside the root of your tablet's internal memory

Reboot the tablet holding vol down, and when the three icons appear, hit volume up to enter recovery

When the recovery prompts you a password, hit cancel (this is a bug from the current version of TWRP, and it should be fixed soon. It is ok to ignore it!)

Flash the zip you just downloaded

Wipe Dalvik/Cache (just in case)

Reboot

You are now rooted!

Thank you for the guide. I was able to installed TWRP, and use SD card files, whatching them finish installing. But after reboot, I am in this loop of ASUS logo and TWRP recovery mode, It will not go into CM10 and Gapps I installed. Upper left said the deevices is unlocked. Am I rooted? According to the instruction; I am rooted. Re-tried many times, wipe off everything, System, Factory reset, all memories. Seems all clean, re-install the same procedure, can not get over that loop. Am I soft bricked? Can anybody help??

Waiting for the device

Hi Joel,

I choosed the full asus official methd to update. (I came from CROMi 3.4.4). I had a CMWR recovery (6.0.4). So far everything is ok.

I'm on 4.2.1 Asus officilal. But I want to install the TWRP using the fastboot method, but as soon as I reboot on RCK/Android/Wipe data menu, and I try to launch the cmd command line (fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob), I'm stuck on "waiting for device". Nothing happens.

Any tip or trick on that?

Many thanks for the hard work.

Okdac
[Transformer TF300T General] sbdags:
Make sure you have drivers installed in device manager for your TF300 when it is in fastboot mode and you have opened a cmd box from the folder with fastboot.exe inside it.
[Transformer TF300T General] okdac:
Hi sbdags,

I'm glad you answered, cause I just wanted to install your brand new 4.0 CROMi.;))

I managed to plug my TF300T on another laptop of mine and the driver showed up (tough not on my desktop :(

I installed TWRP, but couldn't send the fastboot reoot command...strange. I did a manual reboot.

I'm done with it, I'm going to try the 4.0, and guess what, it's going to be fun.

Many many thanks.

Pretty straightforward guide. Had some issues with installing the blob (I had to install it 3 times for some reason). I guess there's a reason why they made a horror movie out of it. So if anyone has issues booting into recovery after putting the TWRP blob on the device; just try installing it again,... and again if required.

Everything works just fine now though. Thanks!

Hello all, I have some issues and I'm stressing. I hope someone can give me a hand.

I have an HTC One X (ATT) and unlocked the bootloader and have TWRP 2.4.1.0 installed.

I've tried multiple, multiple ROMS but the one I'm trying now is ViperXL-3.2.6 (I'll try any ROM if it works).

Anything I try just loads a black screen which started when what I could tell was a bad ROM (I think it was for the international version). I can push the .zip to the phone via adb but with these results when trying to install:

Error flashing zip '/rom.zip'

Updating partition details...

E:Unable to mount 'sdcard'

E:Unable to mount storage.

I've flashed my previous phones many times without problems. I'd be willing to make a small donation if someone can help me out.

Hi guys, so I was using wicked ROM, whenever I tried to boot into recovery, it just rebooted back to system. Odin'ed back to stock, flashed twrp through goo manager app, but still no use. Any help greatly appreciated
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
What methods have you tried?

adb reboot recovery is the easiest way to get to recovery

Maybe try flashing CWM, seeing if that works, and then flashing TWRP (I've never flashed TWRP through Goo Manager so I don't know how that works)?

If you don't have adb set up, get quick boot from market and try recovery through that.

If that doesn't work, I honestly don't know. I'm assuming you've done the power off then volume up+home+power at the same time trick already.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eggydrums:
With the goo app, I can boot directly into recovery, but my issue is that I get to the Recovery's splash screen, it hangs there for a second and immediately reboots back to system. I'm thinking to get the stock recovery back and try again I'm really not sure what the Hecks going on
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eggydrums:
Mhm OK, got cwm working, guess I'll just use that one for the time being :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
I would highly recommend putting TWRP back on there. The CWM was more for testing... people have reported issues using CWM with certain ROMs. Glad you were able to get CWM on though. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Nothing wrong with CWM.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
There are a number of ROMs that do not support CWM so that statement is false. FreeGS3 loses update functionality, for example.

Also, there have been complaints in the case of CWM touch of it being too easy to wipe your entire device.

Not to mention there is no Goo Manager functionality without TWRP as well.

Lots of benefits of TWRP versus CWM. I used CWM for years then had to switch to a modified TWRP for my MAXX and was more than happy when I found out the SGS3 used TWRP as well (although I wish we had the ROM slots like the MAXX though - that was actually cool)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
The statement is not false. I think FreeGS3 hasn't been updated for 4.5 months? Maybe not the best example. And I still think you should use as few automated tools as possible where flashing is concerned (Goo/ROM Manager).

It can be easy to wipe the wrong partition in CWM, if you are careless or illiterate. In the 6 months that I've used it (nearly every day), I have never once wiped the wrong partition, or my entire device. Never had a backup that wouldn't restore.

I like some of what TWRP offers. But I still experience showstopping bugs with it on my device. At this time, the devs are unable to track down the cause of the problems.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Don't get me wrong, I've used CWM on many devices for years and even have a premium license for ROM Manager but I've seen a number of ROMs explicitly say not to use CWM, FreeGS3 was just the first that came to mind. I don't flash often because quite frankly, I have no problems with Wicked v8 and see no reason to switch to anything else.

And I am neither careless nor illiterate but I have accidentally borked things using CWM before in the past (it was a modified CWM Touch recovery) and I was not happy.

I think most of the complaints about CWM these days though come from CWM Touch, not regular CWM. Sorry TWRP has issues for you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eggydrums:
OK, so I'm getting a new issue, I changed to AOKP and I had problems with the ROM saying I needed to wipe data, I did, the issue persisted for few reboots, now apps won't install, and for some reason the /data folder still displays apps from my previous ROM ugh I don't know what's happening

Oh and for some reason the app exchange service kept force closing
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Which recovery? Try erasing data, cache, and system three times each and reinstalling the ROM... If that doesn't work you might consider doing a back up of everything internally stored on your phone and then wiping the internal storage entirely and starting over.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eggydrums:
I tried. I think for some reason, the recovery isn't wiping data, even though it says so. I'm using twrp

Managed to install apps through the play website, still no go with the play store app though
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Hmmm... Have you tried doing it through CWM? Its starting to sound like your partitions are messed up.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] eggydrums:
I think that's a possibility :( I just tried through clockwork, and it's all good now but exchange service fcs here and there :confused:

[Nokia Lumia 920] petard:
Read the other threads. The only way to get an unlock code for an AT&T Lumia 920 is if you are an AT&T customer and push the customer support really hard. There might be some other requirements such as being on a business account too. I am on a business account with AT&T and was able to get a 920 unlocked after spending an hour with the customer support.

Any site claiming to be able to unlock an AT&T Lumia 920 is a scam, plain and simple. Third parties MAY be able to after May 9th.
[Nokia Lumia 920] smile_nik:
not a AT&T customer - T-Mobile UK

problem is that here on this site was always the place you can find the tools to free you phone but for Nokia Lumia 920 there no useful posts for SIM unlock.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
There is no problem, there just is not any unlock codes for the Lumia right now. Unless you are an ATT customer and no longer under contract you will not be able to unlock your phone. Your best bet is to get a Rogers version which is already unlocked as stock.

As you said all the sites for the 920 are scams and those claiming they have done it are working for or being paid by those same sites.

Just to get things clear

Like RM-821 GLOBAL WHITE SWAP (059Q5C7)

wouldn't it unlock the sim lock?

:cyclops:
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
Firmware has no affect on the SIM. The SIM controls what carrier you connect to as it is the SIM that you actually are paying for in your contract. So in answer to your question, you can flash till your heart goes poof, it will make no difference. The phone will still be locked to what ever carrier the SIM was programmed for.
[Nokia Lumia 920] smile_nik:
yes - flashing it not going to remove the SIM lock -already try few times :)
