Also, what exactly is APX mode, and how do I get to it and know when I am in it? It seems if I hold VolumeUp and Power but I get no response out of any tablet.

And another thing. If I get one into ADB Mode what would I type in to flash to it?

Let's say my file is at C:\Users\admin\Desktop\TF300T Stuff\EP201_768_SDupdate.zip
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
Apx is a type of recovery built in the cpu. Due to the way Asus has handled the bootloader situation we only have access on unlocked ICS. To be useful the unit has to be unlocked and working properly. Nvflash is then installed and recovery files made. At that point apx can be used for recovery if needed. Apx is completely useless under any other circumstances.

You access apx by holding power and volume up from off state. If on windows you will hear a notification of new hardware found. On mac and linux there is no notification. Obviously proper drivers need to be added to windows (universal naked drivers).

My signature contains a link about installing these drivers in windows.

Note: You will have a new entry for in your Device Manager window. It will be flagged as no drivers until you install them.

adb push C:\Users\admin\Desktop\TF300T Stuff\EP201_768_SDupdate.zip /sdcard/EP201_768_SDupdate.zip
[Transformer TF300T General] kmad86:
So in order to ADB push, there has to be a SD card in the tablet? Does that card need the same file on it before I do this?

Another thing, why would ADB push be a better option than just booting to RCK with the file on the SDcard? Just curious.

On another tablet that I was trying, it recognizes as "Fastboot devices" but in ADB devices, it's just blank. Hmm. It's running 4.2 and I see at the top in small text where it says "starting Fastboot USB download protocol"
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
I gave a path to the internal sdcard. Now you see why I call it the internal sdcard instead of using emcc. The external is /Removable/MicroSD. Asus 4.2 differs.

Because recovery failed to see or process the file while on the external and our odds are much better on the internal sdcard.

Yes that's correct for 4.2. If you volume up while on RCK we'll find which recovery we have or none.

Have you seen the unlocked notice on this one?
[Transformer TF300T General] kmad86:
Here's what I have.

boot loop

running 10.6.1.8

A03 Key Driver not fount

Fastboot Devices - Recognized

ADB Devices - Just says list and nothing there.

(Shockingly this one booted to the weird startup once just out of the blue but with no touch. I then ran the SDcard 4.2 I had to hopefully clear it up and it went back to the bootloop)

Now I have it sitting on "Starting Fastboot USB download protocol"
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
I wish to delay my suggestion. Try recovery and tell me what happens. Go into bootloader and press volume up on rck.
[Transformer TF300T General] kmad86:
Booting Recovery Kernal Image

Signature Match.

If I boot it with the SDcard in it, It acts if it's loading it and goes through the process but I don't get anything after it completes it's load.
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
Remind me what version file you are trying to use.
[Transformer TF300T General] kmad86:
The file says EP201_768_SDupdate (10.6.1.8) which is the same bootloader the tablet says it has on it.
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
That's what we wanted. Now we have to change gears. Remove the sdcard.

Download openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob.

When this is complete ensure the file is in fact named as above.

Copy the file to your directory that holds fastboot and adb.

Go into the bootloader and allow it to start fastboot. Plug the tablet into your usb port.

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob

fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

If either of these commands fails to complete reboot into the bootloader and try this.

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob

fastboot reboot

What we are doing:

The twrp listed above is modified to work with the new 4.2 by Asus - use any other on Asus 4.2 and probably brick

-i 0x0B05 - we are specifying we are sending these commands to an Asus unit (most units don't require this) - 0x0B05 is a code assigned by google - each manufacture receives a code

we leave off the code if it fails because the unit may no longer be capable of determining the code

Twrp is a custom recovery that will allow us to directly flash our rom, custom rom, root, etc. - it also can create complete backups and later restore them.

If we use twrp to flash stock firmware and it works twrp recovery will be replaced with our stock recovery as the stock blob contains that partition also. We will be using it as a vehicle to unbrick.

I hope some of this makes sense.

Note: when typing long names like the twrp file in this case type op and press tab and your terminal will complete the name for you, it works on paths also.
[Transformer TF300T General] kmad86:
Sorry for the delay, I got behind on some stuff as I spent two days on these at the beginning of the week. I'm charging it now, and downloading TWRP. WIll keep posted.
[Transformer TF300T General] kmad86:
Well, at first I felt like it was going to work. Popped up the blue status bar under the three icons, but it came back FAILED <remote: <invalidstate>>

It started though, as it said "Sending Recovery" and then went OKAY. Writing Recovery, Failed.
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
Don't worry about the delay. I manage to keep busy.

---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

I'll assume you tried with and without the Asus code.

Use Asus stock frimware 4.2 (10.6.1.8). Unzip twice, you will find a blob file. Copy that to the directory with fastboot.

Then try this.

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob

fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

or

fastboot flash system blob

fastboot reboot
[Transformer TF300T General] kmad86:
ha!

Yeah, I tried it with the asus code and without.

Ok, so maybe I did something I wasn't supposed to do?

Before you replied to this, I was playing around and decided "Well, I haven't actually tried to flash it through SDK, so maybe I will use your same formula as above with the stock firmware"

So I restarted fastboot and typed in fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery EP201_768_sdupdate.zip

It's been 20 minutes and it still says "Writing recovery"

I figured it shouldn't take this long.

EDIT:

It failed because I think the battery on it finally died around 3000seconds. Says Failed (too many open files in system).

I'm gonig to try your suggestion now.
[Transformer TF300T General] kmad86:
Extracted to directory and ran the blob. Under Starting Fastboot It said Signature Match.

It went through the process and it's now stuck on writing system. It's been 25 minutes.
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
Go for 40. Then reboot if you are still waiting. It usually does not take this long but the tablet is a mess.

I have been spoon feeding you and should have provided more info than I have. This is the method we use to maintain control of the situation but is much slower.

Please try to consider your use carefully.

ADB Sideload

ADB sideload is a new feature that was added to AOSP recovery in Jelly Bean.

As of version 2.3,

TWRP now supports ADB sideload mode. ADB sideload is a different ADB mode that you can use to push and install a zip using one command from your computer. Most likely ADB sideload won't be very useful for your average recovery user, but ADB sideload can be a huge time-saver for a ROM developer.

How to Use Sideload

1. Have a recovery installed on your device that supports ADB sideload like TWRP 2.3 or higher

2. Have newer ADB binaries installed on your computer. If it's been a while since you installed ADB on your computer, you may need to get the latest ADB binaries in platformtools from the Android SDK. You will need version 1.0.29 or higher. You can find your current version by typing "adb version" at the command line.

3. Set the device into ADB sideload mode. In TWRP you do this by going to Advanced then ADB Sideload.

4. From the command line, type adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip

If the fastboot commands fail try leaving out the Asus designation ( -i 0x0B05 ).

There is more but I quickly put this together.
[Transformer TF300T General] kmad86:
Ah ha! So 42 minutes later, it worked. I booted it back up and now I am on that weird screen that I originally sent the picture of. I'll try to do a stock recovery flash now and see what happens. That weird screen doesn't let me touch either. But I plugged up a mouse to it and have gotten to what looks like normal 4.2 and I was hoping some OTA updates would fix my problem, but it can't find any. Touchpanel Version again is ELAN-0000-0000 on this one too. OH, and although it's running on battery, it says battery is at 0% and also doesn't recognize when it's plugged in.

I booted into Fastboot and checked "ADB devices" nothing came up.
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
Great!
[Transformer TF300T General] kmad86:
It works fine with a mouse, but no touch and the touch firmware seems to not be there (ELAN-0000-0000).
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
Where to start.

Boot into recovery and tell me what you get. Twrp, stock, etc.

Here are my thoughts.

Windows 4.2 depends heavily on 10.4.2.20 as a base to have many things in place when it installs.

I think we should flash 10.4.2.20 and get everything working and consider our options from there. If you have stock recovery we'll let it take care of the downgrade to 10.4.2.20.

Assuming stock recovery - use the 10.4.2.20 firmware once unzipped rename to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip and place on internal sdcard. If you can't do that place it on the external. Reboot into recovery and it should take over and make the downgrade. It will be slow.

Mistake!!!

If placed on the external sdcard I don't think stock recovery will see it. Try and see.

If you have stock recovery and your mouse works place the once unzipped 10.4.2.20 on internal and look for notification triangle, accept update. If if fails to appear after two or three minutes reboot and you should see it then.
[Transformer TF300T General] kmad86:
It never notified me via the OS. I tried RCK and it actually worked. I'm now back to 10.4.2.20. However, touch panel still doesn't work, doesn't have a firmware, and also my battery says 0% but it isn't dead. It's like it isn't recognized either. (I tried a good battery from another to verify, it's not the battery)

ADB Devices still doesn't show it up.
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
This sounds like missing drivers but I don't understand why.

I believe I would use 10.4.2.9 (the first 4.1 JB bootloader) and let stock recovery install as before. Test for proper functioning and if good go back to 10.4.2.20(the latest 4.1 JB bootloader).

We can't expect 10.6.1.8(4.2 JB) to function properly unless 10.4.2.20 does. 4.2 relies very heavily on 10.4.2.20 for drivers and such.

Adb requires usb debugging to be turned on in settings developer options this may not be your issue but a good place to start.
[Transformer TF300T General] kmad86:
Do I still need to label it the EP201_768....?
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
Now it will probably work with unzipping once and place on internal sdcard. Take the update notification when offered. If no notification after three minutes reboot and wait again.
[Transformer TF300T General] kmad86:
It stopped booting into the OS about an hour ago. I don't know what happened. I tried to RCK it to 4.2.9 and Android went bellyup. I'll try to rename it EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
ok.
[Transformer TF300T General] kmad86:
Yeah, there must be a lot missing from this tablet.

I loaded 4.2.9 and got to the welcome start screen. Even hooking it into the dock didn't let me use the mouse. Once the screen dimmed, I couldn't get it back up without a complete reboot. The power tap did nothing. A reboot took me right back to where I was, stuck on the welcome screen. Volume didn't recognize on the dock, but it does on the tablet buttons.

4.2.9 didn't fix it, where's there left for me to venture to?

EDIT:

Strange enough, the small dock pin/USB adapter I have with a wireless mouse let me access the tablet.

Still the battery is 0% and no touch of course. Touch firmware missing.

Also, it picked up a firmware OTA but I can't install it since it thinks my battery is dead. (Replaced the battery once, that's not the problem)
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
I need to play a little and consider options. I want to say use 4.2.9 again renammed and activate stock recovery from RCK.
[Transformer TF300T General] kmad86:
So run it again renamed the 201_768 or renamed back to the original name?

Edit:

BellyUp Android renamed Original Name US_epad-user-10.4.2.9.zip
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip when you want to update by rck - US_epad-user-10.4.2.9.zip when you want to update by notification

I'm sorry I need my notes and I don't have access at the moment.

Let's hold for a bit and I'll make a suggestion when my notes are available. I'm sorry!

It will be some of the same but I prefer to stop a moment since we are going backwards.
[Transformer TF300T General] kmad86:
Ok, that's fine. I'll play around with it a little bit in the meantime.
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
I'm back but I still am not sure how to progress. I don't have any relative info to draw from either. I'm sorry, I am totally lost on this one. I'll post if I think of anything I feel will help.

If you have any questions just ask.

It's almost as if some of the folders are still encrypted, 10.4.2.20 should have removed any encryption.
[Transformer TF300T General] kmad86:
Is there any benefit to ever flashing through SDK instead of SDcard?
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
SDK = adb and fastboot

These are primarily used with unlocked units.

Adb can be used to push(copy) a file or files into your tablet(to non secure spaces(both sdcards and some data space)).

They are commonly used to flash recovery(on this tablet I have never been successful with flashing stock recovery - custom(twrp yes), and stock blobs(Asus firmware that has been unzipped twice).

If you tell me what you are thinking I may be able to provide the commands.
[Transformer TF300T General] kmad86:
I can't ever get a tablet into ADB unless it's booting, correct?

So this tablet acts if it has nothing. Battery controller seems gone (since it shows ! 0%), Touch firmware gone (ELAN-0000-0000). Sometimes it won't even boot and I have to do a PowerVolDown reset. Also, doesn't recognize in a dock, but will with a basic mouse and USB adapter.

We tried to go back to 4.2.9 as you said that's the base to all of the drivers you thought. (We went from 4.2, to 4.1 (4.2.20 and 4.2.9))

I don't know where else I can go from here, unless HC actually was the base for some reason, but I don't think you can downgrade anymore as to what I was reading.

We at least got it to an OS screen where it can be used with a mouse.

Since I didn't flash them but once through SDK, I wasn't sure or not if it gave a deeper install than the SDcard, but it seems like it doesn't really matter.

I shouldn't have "rooted" the device ever, should I? I don't even know how, but reading on some of these other tablets mentions to do some things to them, they need rooted.
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
I still don't understand this tablet.

Flashing (stock firmware) through sdk or with stock recovery there is no real difference.

Rooting is generally a positive for the end user - if used properly. Things like titanium backup only work if rooted. The negative side of rooting is misuse.

In general if usb debugging is turned on adb can be used when booted into the os or while booted into twrp(custom recovery).

No you can't go below 10.4.2.9, you can go up as far as 10.6.1.8.

I have been tempted to ask you to update to 10.6.1.8 but I can't be sure of the outcome. I have never seen these issues in the past and without the unit in hand I'm not comfortable doing much.

If I had the unit I'd unlock, flash twrp, flash (Cleanrom 3.4.6 - odex) (4.1 not 4.2) and if everything was good then flash back to the stock JB you wish to have on the tablet.

I suggest that you lt th Rom settle a little bit over 3-4 charging cycles. JB sure is not all that buttery smooth as we all expected but it's definitely not that laggy even.

If you installed a custom Rom please ensure that you wiped all the four- system, data, cache and preload. In case you missed any of the wipes, I would suggest you redo the installation as per the exact guidelines by the developer.

In any case the performance definitely improves after a few charging cycles.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Maybe it is best if you flash a safe kernel, do a full wipe and format system, data, cache and preload and then reflash the firmware with ODIN PC.

I also have the lag problem with JB on the first Note.

It is not isolated.

I have the lag. My wife has it. I know several people who have it.

I have never rooted my phone. My wife could not do it if you put a gun to her head.

We upgraded to JB months ago. We upgraded over Kies on the PC.

We have used and upgraded the phone EXACTLY as At&t and Samsung demanded.

The lag has never gotten better.

I have done a Factory Data reset after upgrading to JB to see if that would help...nope.

I do use a Class 10 Sandisk card. My wife does not have a card.

To give you an idea of the lag...

Getting a call.....I might be able to slide and accept the call before it stops ringing and goes to voicemail.

Open a picture...I will have to wait at least 10-15 seconds..if I am lucky.

Sometimes a web page is quick..other times it takes so long that I lose interest.

I have seen the phone just basically laugh at the idea that I expect to use GPS and just lock up.

Add music to the phone...if I do it tonight, I will see it available by morning.

There is no single app that seems to be the trouble and there does not appear to be a heavy load.

At this point I have lost all faith in Samsung, At&t and this piece of ca$p phone.

I have never downloaded anything that was not on Google Play. Neither has my wife.
