[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kswa1987:
Hey Guys,

First, thanks in advance for any assistance!

I unlocked the bootloader no problem. Installed TWRP 2.5.0.0 no problem.

After downloading the unofficial slimrom for the htc jewel from these forums, I dide a wipe, installed the zip and the slimgapps and then rebooted.... Black screen. Nothing. For a long time. Holding down the power button yields flashing soft keys.... looks bad. Anyhow, yes I'm an idiot, don't have a nandroid, or any other ROMs on the phone to install, but I can still get to the bootloader and to TWRP. Is there a way to push another ROM to the phone and then install it using TWRP? Can't seem to figure this bit out. Also there is some weirdness in the filesystem with with "sdcard" and "sdcard2", the Slimbean zip is in the /sdcard2/download folder and that's where I installed it from if that makes a difference. Anyhow, at this point I just need to get this thing booted again! Any help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I have made multiple attempts to wipe the phone in TWRP and reinstall the slimrom zip to no avail... please help! Also, /sdcard2/ is still populated with a lot of stuff, including the download folder with all of the zips in it.

Well, thanks to some help from IRC I was able to use USB OTG to push the CM10.1 M2 and installed that and the latest gapps and yet after reboot it still just goes to a black screen. not sure whats going on here!

Is your phone s-off or s-on?

message sent from somewhere
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
If you are S-on you will need to install the kernel separately, otherwise the ROM won't boot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kswa1987:
ah, thanks for the info! is there a download for the CM kernel for M2 for the jewel?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
You can look here on XDA for a custom kernel or just pull the boot.img from the ROM itself. You can then use ADB to install the kernel prior to flashing the ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kswa1987:
all done, great success! thanks much for the help guys

Glad to be of service:cool:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chaoscreater:
Hey guys, my girlfriend is planning on buying a new phone, so I've been doing some research for her and looked at Xperia J, P and Sola. It seems many people have problems related to the wifi, battery and touchscreen (mostly wifi though). It seems they all agree that after updating to ICS, the problems occur. Otherwise, it's fine on GB.

My question is, are these problems fixed in the latest stock rom or in any of the custom roms? If not, I should probably stay away from it because my girlfriend isn't tech savy like I am, so she wouldn't know what to do or even want to bother with flashing kernels or mods or fixes etc.

You could say that she could just get something easy to use, like an iPhone or something, but that's expensive and out of the question.

Anyway I would appreciate if you guys could share your problems and feedback, thanks.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
I would say none of these phones, she would be unhappy with all I think lol, get a HTC or Samsung
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chaoscreater:
Well, that goes without saying, of course I would get those if I could, but they're expensive and I'm looking for budget mid range phones like these.

She likes the look and style of Sony phones, so please just focus on the question thanks.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] matood:
Get her to shop and let her choose. Every phone on market has some kind of problems, so question is what is acceptable.

Personally i would go with P, awesone camera, great phone, nice sound and plenty of roms and kernels to choose. And it got cheaper... oh yea and us receiving JB now...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sihe:
i prefer to P :laugh:
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dhersh:
Hey guys, Im in urgent need of help here.

I'll give you an exact account of what i did.

saved apps via Ti. Back.; uploaded the new ICS radios and debloated, deodexed rom from my computer to my tbolt, renamed the radio from my computer; booted into 4ext, nandroid, wiped EVERYTHING, booted into bootloader; bootloader detected the new radio and I confirmed its update

Next thing that happened was that the HTC splash screen appeared as normal but disappeared, leaving a blank screen with dim backlight. Pulled battery and tried to reboot 10+ times to no avail. Same thing happens everytime. ADB doesn't recognize the phone but i CAN boot into bootloader. The problem is that everytime I boot into bootloader, the radio begins to update, leaving with the only option to reboot. Thus, I cant get into recovery.

I've spent the past couple hours trying to do my homework on this but its not looking too hot. I need this bad boy, so help is much appreciated.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santod040:
You need to take the radio off the sd card, so you can boot to recovery and actually flash the rom.

Sounds like you haven't flashed a rom yet, so it has nothing to boot into.

With the radio image (PG05IMG.zip) on the root it will not go to Recovery.

So you will need to find a card reader to rename the radio file, since you wiped prior to flashing the radios.

The preferred process would have been to flash the radios, boot to your current rom, rename the radio file from within the current rom.

Then boot to recovery and flash the new rom.

I somewhat outlined this in the OP of the rooted rom thread where you should have gotten the download from.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dhersh:
Makes sense.I dont know why I read "wipe everything" before the rest of your thread and thought that meant to do so before reflashing radios.

Got a $10 reader and was able to change the radio file and boot into recovery. Flashed the rom as usual and it looks lke everythings working.

Thanks for the help man.

Not sure which version it was, but I used to use Google Maps Off-line, and cache wouldn't expire (if I'm correct). Due to lobby or any other rotten (commercial) reasons, Google Maps Off-line is not available anymore in many countries, like (some) Brazil (cities), as an example.

So, I'm looking at the latest Google Maps version which allows us to download the maps again, and use it offline.

Or maybe a way to cache it without the need of scrolling it manually, at several zoom levels...

I don't know - Something that could help on browsing offline Google Maps.

Could someone help on this?

And also point me (us) to a location where to get and install it?

Some useful links...

Any other inputs or ideas would be nice as well!

Is 6.14.1 the latest available?

I've found some 6.14.3 around, but I'm not sure if someone here has really tried it, successfully. [[[ DONE, and it's okay: ]]]

http://93.114.44.238/viewtopic.php?f=399&t=517147

Note 1: I have successfully installed the 6.14.3 version above, but I'm not sure if it works as it should due to the fact I'm looking at DOWNLOADING LOCAL maps currently not available anymore, that WAS available to download until some jerks decide we need to keep paying to access it from other sources; but I still couldn't. So, if you want to install and try the Google Maps 6.14.3 (Mod/Nav) and try it, get it above, and please post a feedback.

I just did this:

1. In Titanium Backup, selected Maps and cleared cache and wiped data.

2. I did the same with Street View, and uninstalled both.

3. Made a reboot.

4. Renamed the APK to Maps.apk (don't know why, but did)

5. Allowed unknown sources

6. Installed the APK

Note 2: I have successfully installed the 6.14.1 version (which may be the same as above links), and it worked as well. But NO solution for what I'm looking for.

http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?t=417690

Bottom note: Then, you'll probably like the latest Google Maps 6.14.3 (offline Navigation Mod) :)

And, how can I download a map that is not available for downloading anymore?

Again, it used to be and I used to do it...

And many cities in Brazil are still downloadable, but not those that interest me.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gilbnx:
Hi all,

I could not believe that I just made such a huge mistake.

I was curious to try the UltimaROM and downloaded it. It has so many features and for the first time in my life I did not check that this ROM is for I9100 and not the t999.

I was also curious to update the CWM and asked it to install the "latest one" which is one of the features in the menu.

Once it asked to reboot, after the install - the phone never woke up again. I cannot get it into recovery or download mode. The power button just do not respond and I do not feel the short vibration that usually occurs when the phone is being turned on.

I'm on a business trip for the next 4 weeks and now I'm stuck without a phone...

Does anyone have any idea how to help? I'm lost without the phone (and yes, I know I should have not done that when I'm away from home and I should always check the phone version.. I did a silly thing but can anyone please has any idea how to recover?)

Thank you in advance.

I have the same issue.... Everything seemed fine until I hit the "Reboot now" button and WHAM! Nothing. Mine is the Sprint LTE version, but the Guide I used from the Mod Dev himself didn't specify that this was for a specific S3. It was however mentioned in the comments AFTER the tutorial. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] blu422:
You can send it into mobiletechvideos. They'll do it for $50 I think. They're in Texas though so shipping may be a pain. But still better than getting a new one.

EDIT: it is actually $60 there. Here's the link http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-jtag-brick-repair/
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cyphers23:
Yeah you have no choice but to send it in for repair either to samsung or to other repair place, such as mobiletech videos. I hard bricked mines a while and sent it to mobile tech videos and got it back within a week from the date I shipped it to them. I did pay for express overnight delivery though. You can also try jtag but that is known on helping with soft bricks, you've hard bricked yours, but hey you never know. There are no other options you can do.

Try removing the battery and putting it back in. Then push power, boot into recovery, and restore nandroid.

I had upgraded to 4.2 firmware (WW_epad-user-10.6.1.8) using the second method described on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2187982. This worked well and everything was working until I messed up today D: I was trying to flash SuperSU using TWRP but it couldn't recognize my Internal SD Card so I thought there might be something wrong with my installation. When I entered the bootloader I noticed the message: Key driver not found.. Booting OS. I don't know what this means. I did not read the first thread in the General section and tried to do a restore using the 4.2 firmware package. I used the "fastboot flash system blob" command and this time everything was messed up. The blue bar that appears on installation is no longer appearing and I have an "unrecoverable bootloader" error. Nothing I did worked! What should I do?? Please provide me some simple steps. I used these commands before flashing system blob...

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

This was a very stupid move on my part but I thought this would allow a clean install D: D: Please help!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markymark567:
gee man you completely wiped the sucker, you may be bricked =(. i would start by trying to fastboot flash the patched version of twrp. unless you can boot into twrp already then try to flash the asus package again thru twrp. also, could twrp see your internal sd before you bricked?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonar2854:
No, that is the reason why I wiped everything (stupid move I know)...TWRP was screwed up to begin with. I flashed 2.5 JB version and it couldn't detect my internal SD card. I made sure it was the right model and everything so TWRP messed me up. I don't know how to flash a working version of TWRP since I don't know what version works with 4.2 tf300 firmware.

there is a modded 2.4.4 version i believe that sees all correctly. the post on how to root and update describe and link it. but being now you flashed the wrong one. you cant mount anything to flash correct one. i think you are s.o.l. i hope iam am wrong. good luck.

Bump!

I have a couple of questions.

I would like to know about your bootloader (how many icons and which ones) and whether you can still get into twrp.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonar2854:
Okay, so when I press Volume Down + Power, I enter the bootloader. The bootloader has three icons: RCK, Android Logo, Wipe Data. I have no access to TWRP since there is a unrecoverable bootloader error 0x0000000 when I try to enter RCK.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
The odds are slim but let's try a couple of things.

From power off, hold power and volume down, release when you see the icons. You should see the entering fastboot message in the upper left.

fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot bootloader

if that fails

Power off and use the same procedure.

fastboot reboot bootloader

Tell me the result.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonar2854:
Okay, I tried both and it doesn't work without adding a hyphen in between reboot and bootloader so reboot-bootloader. Otherwise, with the hyphen added, both work.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
Sorry for that mistake. Now try rck and let's see if the bootloader is now accepted. If we are lucky the result has changed.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonar2854:
Eh...I don't really know how to explain this but this is what happened. Once the bootloader rebooted after entering the CMD command, I pressed volume up to access RCK and there was a "blink" and there is now a green glowing square around the Android Icon. I cannot move the volume up or down (it is frozen on the Android Icon with the green square glowing), so I don't know what that "blink" was. If i try to press volume up now there is the bootloader error again.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
Download the 10.4.2.20 stock firmware. Unzip once and rename the resulting zip EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip. Place this on your external sdcard and boot into your bootloader. Volume up on RCK.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonar2854:
Um, I don't have an external SD Card? The only SD Card I have is the Internal Storage
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
Uh!

Tell me what 2.5 JB version is.

Unzip 10.6.1.8 stock firmware twice and place the blob file into the directory with adb and fastboot. Boot into the bootloader and don't press anything.

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob

fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

if the command fails try again without -i 0x0B05
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonar2854:
When you say 2.5 JB version...are you talking about TWRP? I don't think TWRP is on the tablet because I can't access it. All I saw was a blink when I pressed volume up on RCK, not TWRP? I have tried flash system blob before I posted here and it did nothing. There is no progress bar when fastboot flashing =/ I think it froze. Yup it froze, just tried to do fastboot reboot-bootloader and it said failed. Also, after the system was done writing, after 2 seconds it said complete so it didn't work.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
I understood about twrp and flashing system blob but I thought we had been able to get stock recovery working instead of twrp.

I 'm sorry that is all I have with no sdcard and no adb.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonar2854:
I have never used the stock recovery so what is it supposed to look like? Is it that dead Android with the battery because that didn't show up? I will try and get an external sd card tomorrow and try it if you think it might work. I have the 4.2 bootloader so are you sure that I should put Version V10.4.2.20 and recover using that version? Anyways, if it ends up not working, I would just like to say thank you very much for trying.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
First that is not the way normal stock 4.2 recovery looks. We don't have a normal unit but we are able to bypass the incorrect twrp and this has worked for another user with the same issue. It may not work for you.

Something you need to understand about this tablet is that it evolves as you work with restoring. The things you have done in the past may or may not work as the unit changes. I don't see many options and I am trying to explore the ones that I feel will not make the issue worse and may lead to a working unit. When we see the end then anything goes.

I have gone between the 4.1(10.4.2.20) bootloader and the 4.2(10.6.1.8) bootloader five times while helping others. The vehicle to do this is 10.4.2.20. If you look at the 4.2 OTA and the 10.6.1.8 firmware you can readily see that Asus has tried to restrict to using 10.4.2.20 for moving between these roms. Each of these moves was done with stock recovery not twrp.

I don't usually give much detail because I get long winded and tend to confuse others.

Like now. Sorry!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonar2854:
I actually understood everything lol. Thank you. I have absolutely nothing to lose so I will try what you have suggested. If it fails, i'll just put the tablet in some box in the basement, never to be seen again. So just to confirm I downloaded the right package from ASUS website, the name of the zip file is WW_epaduser_10_4_2_20_UpdateLauncher and inside there is another zip called WW_epad-user-10.4.2.20?
