Same problem !!

Dear community,

several months ago, i swore not do modify or anything with my after a soft brick, but since this day legs were annoying, so today ich got rooted again and wanted to speed up all things a little bit as described in the forums here.

I also removed the "build.prop" ot better renamed it to "build.prop.bak" because off the" Install the Pimp My Rom app" as it was written in the description on modification in this thread http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2230779

now after the asus/tegra logo, i get stucked on a black screen and do not know what to, i think i´ll first try to put an update.zip file on external sd, but don´t know if it functions,

via adb, the device is not found by my computer, do you have any ideas what to do? please please please help

i hate it, such a nice, beautiful, expensive device, but delivers bad performance.....

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ian1:
How did you restore it? Can you tell me the steps you took because I haven't been able to do it successfully.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poroigor:
actually, my method was simply just to pack the stock rom/official rom on the external sd, but nothing happened, so i tried this method last time, formatted the whole external sd and put 3 files on it:

1) WW_epad-user-10.4.2.18.zip --> latest official firmware

2) same file renamed to "EP201_SDUPDATE.zip"

3) same file renamed to "update.zip"

and some of these 3 files functioned...from RCX mode (off button + vol down on start, choose rcx mode)

hm, i do not really know if it has something in common with the suggested optimizations but my touchscreen doesn´t work well anymore in combination with my touch pens in apps like ezpdf reader end so on.... :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ian1:
I shall try this thanks

More performance?

Just wondering if anyone has anything more to add to help with performance? I have been slowly getting more by disabling and amending the memory setting (via Andromizer and AutoKiller Memory Optimizer) however nothing to share just yet.

Can you update the kernel without unlocking? I assume not but would love to overclock without unlocking...

There was talk of more .... If you know anything that has helped you do share!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GappaX:
Did all the tips up to number 9 and everything good so far. Only one problem - with PimpMyRom.

I trustfully installed the newer version and all that I got from those tweaks was defunct WiFi (would not turn on), so I had to delete all script in etc/init.d/, reboot, install the older PimpMyRom version, do the mentioned tweaks => profit :)

But exactly how much did all those tweaks helped - I don't know right now, I need to spend some time on the tablet to evaluate :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stuartb88:
Thanks+ 1Q

Hi,

and thanks for this clear and concise guide...

Read through this the other day,

was still a little hesitant as not done anything like this before,

got redirected to this post from Q+a, read it through again and feel better about trying some/ most of it.

My TF201 Prime Transformer is shocking after asus update to JB 4.1.1

MIne is 2 months out of warranty and asus are not helping but in denial...

they did admit to knowing of green camera screen fault after showing them thread on their own website with many complaints...

anyway,

I have no external SD card as it can't read, after sd card kept popping out I jammed it the wrong way late one night..

Luckily I have a 64gb internal so plenty of space, just without the ext sd I will have to be careful following the steps!

Question: Should I do a factory reset before doing any /all of the steps,

and so start with a new fresh system, Asus firmware 18.4.2.18 or whatever the latest was with JB4.1.1

Not worried about losing data, will copy music/ photos etc onto Usb before reset.

Or is this unnecessary with the root and update to JB4.2 then remove bloatware and add tweaks .

If some one can suggest best option there I'm going to give it a crack!

Try and keep a log so if its successful I can share, an if its not...well, i can retrace my steps!

thanks

stuart
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
Never a bad idea to do a factory reset when software gets screwed up and certainly a good idea for you to "wipe the slate clean" before proceeding here. But I think you have misunderstood something. The rooting procedure does not involve any update to the ROM. You will still be on 10.4.2.18 with Android 4.1.1 .
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stublu:
So I was having some issues streaming video since doing this so I decided to go backwards seeing what was causing the issue. After undoing step 6 (pimp my rom) it wanted to restart, so I did, but it never made it back into android. It just sits at the Asus splash screen and never goes any further.

I tried to do a fresh install of the firmware as mentioned at the top of the OP, but I get an android guy on his back with a red exclamation mark above him (had a pic but can't post it...) for a while then it goes back to the asus screen and stays there again.

Did I kill it?

** My PC will pick it up in fastboot. I have no idea what fastboot is.

*** Managed to fix it :)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
Great little program - really helps!

Hi,

I had to repeat the steps in the OP due to RMA - and have some more tweaks I would like to recommend !!!

a) Install NoBloat . Use it to remove as much as possible. Think long and hard if you really need that widget, use shortcuts instead of widgets. There is quite a lot you can remove to free up memory. I have been using "disable"

b) Install Nova and disable the stock launcher with NOBLOAT.

c) Disable the live wall paper - it does look nice but I find the static tree image just as good - really helps.

d) Back to Nobloat and disable anything more you can see.

Repeat again! when you find something new. Root explorer - then remove file manager for example

Do some reboots and take your time + use the tablet. Example of why - I disabled a .com that stopped me launching files that had been downloaded - but I re-enabled it, rebooted and moved on.

e) When happy - wipe Dalvik cache as per OP

f) Trim + reboot + wait 20 mins or so keeping the screen on with performance on.

Enjoy!

downloads

After applying all these updates, I can no longer download from market or browser. I have to stop the download process in task manager every time after which things start working fine.

Any tips?

Thx.

Sorry to hear you are having issues - It might be that you have disabled a service that is required. Work back and enable till it is resolved. I disabled download.com by accident and this prevented me opening files after downloading.

Firmware download

Hello,

I tried some of those tweaks, but unfortunately my prime is now stuck on asus logo at boot.

I want to try the unbrick solution explained on top of the first post, but can't download the latest firmware from Asus site.

It asks me to select an OS, but there is nothing to select. I've tried on other webbrowser, but still nothing.

Is there somewhere else I can get the firmware ?

I've try with this post but the System ROM Dumps 10.4.2.18 Jelly Bean file doesn't contain a zip file to rename to

Or maybe should I try this method ?

Thanks,

Zitt

###########

Edit:

OK, nervermin my question, it was actually the good zip to rename to EP201_SDUPDATE.ZIP

Otherthing, with part 6 of the guide, like GappaX, my Wifi wasn't functionning after applying modification. Got my Prime brick while trying to restore modifications made by Pimp my rom.

What changes should be applied with the new Pimp my rom version ?

Edit2:

Got part6 tweaks working with previous version (alpha) of Pimp my rom.

Thank you a thousand times for this thread my prime is smooth like never before i already thought about selling it but thanks to you there is no need for it :D

but one question the temprature is about 39 to 45 dergrees high when i use the prime for a while. Is this tmp. still ok ? or is it too much and if its too much how can i reduce it ? observed the temprature via kernel tuner
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
I am glad you are having the same experience I am also having. I have found that if you carefully remove the bloat (I used nobloat) you can release quite abit of RAM.

Some other quick things that really help.

a) Remove widgets

b) Remove live desktop

c) Swap the launcher for nova and then disable the default one

d) Swap the Asus PDF viewers (sorry can't remember the name) - and install easyPDF

e) Install both Chrome beta and Firefox beta (for flash)

f) Disable browser

g) Disable most Asus apps (esp if you do not use them)

h) Install LagFix (does take about 5 -6 mins to complete)

i) I also disable anything that "logs" - if things go wrong you can turn them back on - but it helps with the I/O

You can see the pattern - removing or replacing to release RAM.

I am very very happy now with the PRIME. Just takes some time and effort to get it into a decent state. I have also removed kernel tuner...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phemfrog:
did some of these tweaks but...

ever since i completed them, i can no longer click on the sponsored links that i get in a google search. i realize this is probably an issue with Ad blocking or something, but i uninstalled adaway, and I still cant open the links. i have tried 4 different browsers to no avail. most of the time it is not an issue, but if i am actually using google to shop and compare prices, I cant open any of those results.

help...

FYI I have a TF201 running Android 4.1.1

It is rooted with Seeder and Browser2Ram. I have a number of apps quarantined in AppQuarantine. I didnt do steps 3, 5, or 6. I have wiped the cache.

let me know if you need more info to help me. thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
Try and reinstalled Adaway and then disable the "disable ad blocking" - that should then allow you to click on sponsored links.

Reinstalling Adaway and reverting fixed it.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
I have completed the steps 2x now on a locked Prime - both times worked. However some have failed in this thread - so there is a risk to it. Just ensure you read everything 2x and take your time.

My Prime is very usable now, benchmarks in quadrant at 4300 - 4500.

Good luck
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jynlude:
probably didn't clarify enough..I'm on a locked prime and did this tweaks and found some better performance, however, even with Nova launcher, it's still laggy. i'm not considering unlocking and putting hairybean or cm on it but am not sure that the tweaks will prevent that.

I think my TF201 got soft bricked after this step 6 (Pimp my ROM). I did make sure that my build.prop is renamed to build.prop.bak

And right after that I clicked on "Universal Init.d Support" and wanted to confirm if its already enabled. It required reboot. After rebooting, I get black screen.

Now my question is that in order to recover what are my best options? Should I follow the instructions in comment #125 Or is it better/possible for me to install a custom ROM which would provide performance improvements by default?

I am never done any custom ROM or even had a custom bootloader. Last time I was trying, I remember installing some app which unlocks the device. So my TF201 is unlocked (it says so in the boot screen before going blank).

Can someone point me to what is the best strategy for me to make my TF201 working again? Install Stock ROM or shall I go for some custom ROM (any link to instructions would be great)?

My TF201 got soft bricked after step 6 (Pimp my ROM). I changed build.prop to build.prop.bak I had not done step 5.

Is my best bet trying to install using the ASUS zip file on a micro SD card?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lexen_:
Guys, I need help, something very weird happened to me today.

My tf201 is running 4.1 JB, latest update..

I do have customized my Prime with ALL the steps from this guide and my Pad was working pretty fine for couple of months.

Until this very morning,

I was browsing the gallery in order to send couple of photos via bluetooth. Marked my photos, hit share via bluetooth button and then the usual message - the bluetooth is off, would you like to turn it on. In the moment I hit "turn on" the pad rebooted. So randomly! And since then it wont load the OS. I passes the first screen with Asus and Nvidia logos, reaches the second loading screen with "asus inspiring innovation persistent perfection" and after that nothing - only the dots down the screen are rotating showing that it's loading, but nothing more.

However, I have access to the recovery. Tried to fresh boot OS from there, nothing happened. I know ho to unbrick it with EP201_SDUPDATE.ZIP, BUT I do have some really important information on my pad and I do not want to wipe it all.

So, are there some chances for me? All I need is some way to access some of my information and documents. Just the storage. Via usb fastboot for instance? Just give me some hope, please!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:
I think what happened is it crashed (unknown reason) - but due to 3. Disable FSYNC - this causes it to not recover.

Not sure how to get your data back, strange as it was not writing data at the time - and I thought that was the risk.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lexen_:
Mhm. Not good, but thank you anyway. Do you think that if a bring it to the shop I bought it from they might be able to pull my data?

Softbrick ?

Hi all,

Yesterday, I've been rooting my TF700 and applied Fsync Off fix as well as Pimp my mod.

The tablet rebooted several times and worked like a charm all day long.

I then shutdowned the tablet for sleeping.

This morning, I switched on the tablet but the screen remains on ASUS logo. Cold boot is not working either.

Is it softbricked ? How can this be while the tablet has been working fine all day long yesterday ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
I wanted to let everyone know what happened to me last night.

I was one of the early users of this performance enhancement method created by the great work by poofyhairguy and others. When I started these mods the whole process was a work in progress. Anyway here's what happened.

I've been noticing my performance was degrading over the last month so I decided to check into it and find out why. First I wiped Delvik then I came here to see is any new changes to this enhancement thread. Nothing really different to when I first started using this except for one that I didn't do in Pimp My ROM. That was "Universal Init.d Support". I enabled it and rebooted. Everything seemed fine after that. I then went through the performance enhancement instruction to see if anything else had been added. Nothing so I was done. I decided to do a cold boot just 'because" and that's when my problem started. My tab booted to the first ASUS screen and just stayed there. I let it sit thinking it was the long boot after a Delvik wipe but it sat there for 20 minutes. I went to recovery and that didn't help. I even got the dead Android while messing around in recovery. The only thing I could think of at that time was to do the recovery of the ROM in the instruction. This worked fine. I was expecting to see that all my data was gone and the tablet would be like it was when I unboxed it. I noticed when it booted for the first time after the ROM was written from the SD that my custom boot animation ran. Then when I got to the UI all my data and customization was intact except for Root. Voodoo Root Keeper didn't have a copy of my root but that was easy to fix with Motochop.

After all that my tablet is running like it was when I first started these enhancements. Poof - maybe Pimp My ROM's "Universal Init.d Support" is doing something it's not supposed to be doing? Maybe it's an order of operation thing and since I had all of the enhancements done then did the "Universal Init.d Support" out of order it messed up something? I've seen that some others have had the same thing happen to them. I'm going to check/do all the enhancements again except for this and see what happens. If all is good then I'll do "Universal Init.d Support" again to see if this is the cause of my softbrick. I'll report back soon on my findings.

Hope this helps others.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pooblej:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
I've completed my recovery. I did everything in order after re-rooting and all is well. They only things I didn't do were the extra optional stuff, steps 10 and 11.

I really don't know what caused my softbrick unless it was doing the Universal Init.d Support out of order. That was really the only thing I can think of.

My advise to anyone is do the steps in order.

Hope this keeps this from happening to anyone else.

Hello,

this may solve your problem as it solved it for me !!

The case supplied with T Mobile MDA comes with a belt pad, which is far from ideal. In addition to the fact it is very loose on the belt, so it keeps moving around, the joint on which it is attached to the case makes horrible squeaks ! So whenever I moved, it was like pulling the cats tail.

I didnt want to waste my time trying to make the store to replace it, so I took the can of WD-40 and just put a drop on the both sides of the joint. Be careful to apply very little, because otherwise it could leak out on your pants. Dont worry, WD-40 has perfect penetration properties, so it will lubricate just fine. After a while - all the squeaks gone ! Works great.

Hello,

Recently (about two weeks ago) a friend of mine accidentally dropped his Galaxy Ace Plus into his toilet,

after he got it out, the phone was still on, but when he turned it off it wouldn't start up anymore.

I offered to have a look at the thing, although he already bought a new phone last week. Today he handed his Ace Plus over to me, and I mentioned that it still give a vibrate-feedback when trying to turn it on. I also found out the phone could still open in Download mode, and later I found the shortcut to the recovery (although stock's recovery has very limited options). When I went out of recovery the phone somehow started.

I went home and flashed the stock firmware of the phone (also flashed CWM and rooted the device to make some backups of data to move to his new phone), but now when I turn it off, it will still not start up when using the power button. And again, when I go to recovery and reboot the phone that way, it DOES start up).

My guess is that somehow the boot (partition?) is messed up.

I tried everything that's in my knowledge of Android 2.* phones (I've got an Sony 4.0 ICS phone myself, it works quite a bit different). I can't find a way to fix it myself, so I turned to this forums in the hope that one of you guys could help me fix his phone.

Regards, Drago

ALSO: to add, does flashing kernels work the same on these phones? Like, via fastboot with command line? I might want to try to re-flash stock kernel, hoping it fixes the boot.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] kk9999gada:
Try flashing some custom rom in recovery mode.

or try flashing stock rom using Jtag.

If nothing works then you should go to service center.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] Dragoboss:
Thank you, the first method indeed solved the problems.

I flashed the "Slimbean" ROM that has actually been released today, haha.

After that I restored a CWM Nandroid backup I created before flashing the ROM. The phone now starts normally.

Thank you very much.

i'm using the "Black Notes" ROM, version "Last Page" (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1483072) and everything is working well. It's a customized Gingerbread stock, with some improvement, a great battery life and good stability.

I just have a little problem: sometimes the sound goes away and come back only if i reboot.

Everyting is mute: ringtone, notifications, media and wake up alarm.

Sometimes the sound comes back even without rebooting.

Anyone has something to suggest to fix this? I don't want to change ROM only for this minor issue...

I've discovered that, while the notification/ringtone sound is disappeared, the media sound works, because i can hear a YouTube video.

I've also discovered that is not needed to reboot the phone; if i swith from "normal mode" to "silent mode" and back, the notification sound comes back.

The notification sound is and internal sound from the ROM (not an MP3)
