[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Running a 4.1 ROM on the 4.2 bootloader works - confirmed by me (CROMI 3.4) and dasunsrule32 (CM 10.1).

Flashing should also work in both directions, however the kernel for 4.2 doesn't *work* on the old bootloader. It boots, but locks up after a minute.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mike3.14159:
Apologize if this has already been answered - I'm in class so can't research - and doesn't really make a difference......but does flashing the new bootloader re-lock the bootloader??
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
Nope,there's no way to relock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Can we just use the 2.5.0.0 twrp to flash (upgrade or downgrade) our new 4.2.1 and/or 4.1.1 bootloader?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Yes. You can use any method that can write a blob to mmcblk0p4, i.e. any recovery that you are able to boot successfully can also flash a bootloader. You can even do it from any rooted Android ROM. And I verified that you can downgrade from the 10.6.x bootloader to 10.4.x.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
So it is safe to upgrade to the newest 2.5 TWRP? I am guessing so but want to be positive.

That's kinda dumb!! Could on my Rezound - and even replace bootloader -can on my S3 also. If I somehow REALLY screw up something on the software side there is always nvflash, but if there is a hardware problem then I'm sure they will blame it on me!! Oh well...

4.2 launcher is also hidden. You need to install ADW launcher in order to enable it.

Any custom launcher can access it. I did it with Nova Launcher but didn't care for some things in the new UI so I switched back.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ali4ek:
BTW Asus weather is very buggy with Nova 2.0.2, so I went back to default stock, as I like that widget, but the launcher doesn't matter all that much.
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
I thought I've detected nova hick ups at first, but not so much today.. I don't use weather widget. So I'm not sure but i hate not having a backup for launcher.

Overall this update is pretty good. If this was my first experience with infinity, i don't know if would go with custom roms . I would get root access and do those mods, but not the rest. Na part of the fun is walking the wire.

I agree! It is a mature update. I would still look for a way to disable fsync though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dezufnoC:
OK So will this bootloader (US vs WW) matter in the long run?

So I just got my TF700 and rooted it booted it and unlocked it all this morning. Now my bootloader is WW-10.6.1.14.4 instead of US-10.6.1.14.4 I am sure I downloaded the right zip as the file says "TF700_421_US_BootRec_Flasher_Signed" but alas in my About tablet it is WW. Will this come back to haunt me later on down the road?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Just reflash the correct SKU bootloader. Nothing is going to change except for the correct version of the bootloader.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
Mine says it is the WW version also and I would have sworn I downloaded the US version. What could happen if I were not to change it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Well, there must be some difference, what could happen if not to change??? don't know. Mine is US version, I downloaded from the rooted stock 4.2 version.

I noticed it too today. I downloaded it fresh from the OP and it still says WW. Like dezufnoC said I hope it doesn't come back to haunt me...
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
I think we may be confusing bootloader with build number?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dezufnoC:
I thought they were synonymous? From the ASUS sight that's how you tell what zip to download. I dunno anymore....I've read so much today my eyes are starting to bleed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
You need root *and* a patched kernel. The command above won't do anything on a stock kernel. And you don't have to reboot, the change is instant.

There is a build number in the ROM, set in build.prop, that is displayed in "About tablet".

There is also a build number in the bootloader, displayed in the bootloader menu (when holding volume-down while powering up).

With a locked bootloader you can only flash official releases and both will be identical. With an unlocked bootloader you can mix and match bootloaders and ROMs (and find out for yourself which work together, which are incompatible, and which cause a hard brick). That said, the US and WW 10.6.x bootloaders are identical bit for bit, except the build number itself, the build time, and the digital signature.
[Asus Transformer TF700] workdowg:
Good point. I still am positive I downloaded and installed the correct version of both...

"About Tablet" doesn't show the Bootloader version. That's the build number of the ROM. Mine says WW here.

Use Vol Down + Pwr when you boot up and it will go into the bootloader screen. Says "US_epad-10.6.1.14.4-20130329"

So what are you? WW or US. Seems like you have US bootloader with WW rom version?

If you're in the UK, Nationwide and Co-op give you really comprehensive mobile phone cover with their premium current accounts, as well as a load of other benifits (worldwide annual travel insurance, with diving/winter sports cover, breakdown cover, etc).

They treat me like I'm crazy.. It kind of ridiculous. I'm not hanging out at the spring store because I'm board... The phone screen keeps going in and out and almost makes the unusable...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mulhiny:
I'm not sure what you're showing here, but I suggest when going into the store showing the rep you first talk to your issue. Before, they take it for the folks in back. You've got to have someone there back you up before the tech sees it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NissanNick:
Sorry the pictures are of the phones touch screen test. I spoke with the manager... And the issues come and go so just showing them the issue is the issue. I can't make it do it on command. The phone will be fine for a few hours and then go out again... That's why it's so frustrating.

Having no service can exhuast your battery quickly if left untreated. AutoAirplaneMode is a very simple tool to control Airplane Mode on your mobile device. By detecting the strength of the signal, this tool will automatically turn on Airplane Mode when there is no service or when signal is low, resulting in less time constantly searching for signal which drains the battery.

Great app but...

I was looking for exactly this app except I was looking for one that automatically changed to airplane/flight mode when the device hits low battery. Basically, the user can define when airplane mode comes on depending on the battery percentage. For me this is the biggest problem; needing my phone but realizing that it's fully drained. This way, with airplane mode on, I might miss some calls but at least I'll always be able to make out going calls when needed. Maybe something to consider adding in future iterations.

Ok, I've looked through the help sections, I've Googled my issue [a few times now], so now time to ask for help. [which may or may not be well recieved.]

I was running Viper 3.2.6 fine for about a month, I loved the rom, however I started getting repeated FCs and errors, so I decided to recover my nandroid backup. That didn't work very well, and my phone started to bootloop... I then decided to re-flash viper, re-install twrp [first 2.4.4.0, then when that version wouldn't work, 2.4.1.0] Now when flashing Viper [any JB version I've tried] all my phone does is hang on the HTC startup screen, then reboot back to TWRP. Not to mention that Viper is the only sense ROM that my phone will accept. I've tried fastboot flashing the boot.img, fastboot erasing cache, and running the Nocturnal SD fix to give myself a clean slate to work with.

I'm S-on and HBoot 2.14. Any help that can be provided would be appreciated.

I would post a logcat, but when I tried it would not output anything since the phone is not getting to the rom boot animation.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Venomtester:
Try flashing the boot image separately. Or going s-off. I have had troubles with twrp higher than 2.4 before I went s-off.

I always stayed on 2.3

---------- Post added at 04:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------

May sound silly but are you typing the word "boot" in twice when flashing?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Magickalhack:
As far as flashing the boot image, I type fastboot flash boot boot.img.

And with the S-Off situation, I looked into that, but most of the tools for that seemingly require a working ROM, as usually they require you to have "usb debugging enabled" Like I stated previously, I've tried to solve the issue myself, to no avail thus far.

Also being hboot 2.14 twrp 2.3.x seems to not have touchscreen.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Venomtester:
So you have no working Rom? Or can you flash viper again?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Pretty sure you can s-off purely from boot loader.

2.3.x has working touchscreen for 2.14 and would solve all your issues. You'd have to wipe everything and reflash viper though
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Venomtester:
Also check fastboot device too make sure adb is reading your phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Magickalhack:
Just tried 2.3.1 and no, the touchscreen didn't work, I was looking for a d/l for 2.3.3.x but haven't been able to find one. all of the ones I have found have been removed, or changed to 2.4.4.0

I would be quite greatful if you could point me in the direction of a 2.3.3.x twrp that works.

With S-Off, all the guides I've found by searching XDA [and google, which usually points me back to XDA] state that I need to start with USB debugging enabled, I even tried to start the process in fastboot... still no-go.

None, Every time I try venom it looks like it flashes just fine, says it's successful, however I just end up looking at twrp again.

When I did fastboot devices I got:

As for the USB debugging. It's just so you can use ADB to boot to fastboot. You can go into bootloader and go to fastboot and then skip step 3. -_-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2155071

Just trust me, Install TWRP 2.3.3.1, reflash viper (wipe everything first, cache, dalvik, system, factory reset) and your fine, or S-OFF and then do it or vice versa, whatever you want.

I forgot to add, and I am so sorry, to do fastboot erase cache after flashing twrp 2.3.3.1, just in case.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Magickalhack:
For s-off, if you don't use supercid, it doesn't seem to work, I did not use super cid, since I didn't need to to unlock my bootloader. I tried that method already.

Though, 2.3.3.1 is working; but viper XL 3.2.6 is still fighting with me... Now it's just hanging at the HTC boot screen with the annoying red script.

The only issue, is that it requires adb; since I cannot get a rom to load; when I adb, it just outputs device not found. I was able to find the file to hex edit using twrp file manager, and edited the right part, but it won't let me over-write the original file... any suggestions?

Sorry I hadnt had to do this till now. OK here's what you need to do. In recovery advanced. Go to terminal command select root dir "/". And then do the "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p4" on your phone. This will pull the file. Mount your SD card in twrp and hex edit the mmcblk0p4 file on your sdcard like in my guide then save it in the same spot, make sure file size matches then go back to terminal command and select the root "/" directory again and type

"dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p4 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4" from your phone. This will push the edited file back.

This is a bit more advanced but will work since you cannot adb. Adb just allows you to use the phones terminal remotely. Instead were actually using it on the phone.

We will just have to get android booting because I think we're at a standstill.

Install cleanrom.zip in recovery

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Then try booting.
