If 4.2 flash "twrp 2.5.0.0 4.2" if 4.1 then "twrp 2.5.0.0 jb"

There isn't a 2.5.0.0 for 4.2.....what should I do?

[Transformer TF300T General] bwiberg:
Be careful now midgetman! I think 10.4.2.20 is 4.1 firmware! Please stop now and do your homework first. Read this excellent guide, which has a table matching JB firmware versions and TWRP version:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2195883

For 10.4.2.20 you need twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-JB
[Transformer TF300T General] midgetman7782:
Got it flashed, all works fine...until actually getting a rom to boot. The bootloader seems to be confused, as it calls itself the 4.2 bootloader, but in fact has 4 icons. I'll try a 4.1 rom, otherwise...it's back to square 1. At least I know its not hardbricked.
[Transformer TF300T General] midgetman7782:
Hey....guys.......um....

I've done it

. Somehow, I reverted back to the 4.1 boot-loader by accident. Thus, fixing it. It was all very lucky. I still don't get why fastboot suddenly saw it, after like 4 hours of not seeing it. Thanks for all your help!

Congratulations midgetman:). You had me worried there for a second, but you pulled through. Well done!
[Transformer TF300T General] AarSyl:
Question for you, midgetman....or anyone else...

Has anyone found a solution for the Unrecoverable Bootloader Error as yet? That's the problem that I face right now.
[Transformer TF300T General] midgetman7782:
I thought I'd try to explain how I got my tablet working again...

Obviously, first,

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO HELPED ME THROUGH MY TIME OF NEED!!!

Giving up hope, I left it just to bootloop, in hope it might somehow actually boot. I couldn't do anything else as CWM wouldn't do anything, and my tablet wasn't seen by my PC or ADB. After 45 minutes, windows 8 (8.1 to be exact :P) made a noise to say that something had been connected, I jumped up (Knocking over my glass of water -_-) and sure enough, The USB devices saw something called "???????"

Obviously, this is a little thing, but I was filled with hope. I got into adb, and asked to see connected devices. It once again saw "???????" and I almost fell off my chair. I flashed the correct version of TWRP and then flashed myself a rom!

For some reason, at somepoint during the driver installation, the bootloader f*cked itself up. It became the 4.1 bootloader with 4 icons, but still said it was the 4.2 bootloader. I know it was the 4.1, because only roms for the 4.1 bootloader flash. I don't dare try flash it again though, as that's where problems arose last time, even if I'm pretty good at this whole rooting business :P

So long story short, I was informed I was in a hardbrick, that needed to have the motherboard replaced....and I still fixed it!

I think that as the tablet booted, connected to my PC, it installed the drivers to my PC that had been lost. So, If you're in this state, try that!

Hope this helped someone somewhere, it certainly helped me!

PS: Ever since the accident, my tablet's been INCREDIBLY laggy. Unlocking takes 5 seconds, home takes 5 seconds, app menu takes a bit longer. It lags on all menu's and so on. Any idea's why? I'm running the latest version of Paranoid Android. Oh, and the holo animation just dies.
[Transformer TF300T General] AarSyl:
Veeeeery interesting. I'll charge up my tablet and give this process a try.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Galahad_Knight:
So now that I'm rooted, I;d like to set up wifi tethering so I can get my Nexus 7 online.

I grabbed good old Android Wifi Tether app, but I didn't see our phone in the profiles list. I tried a few and managed to get a stable, if slow connection using Samsung Galaxy S2 as my profile, but it's soooo sloooow

Wifi tethering through my old Sidekick 4g was much faster!

So does anyone have any advice for getting faster tethering speeds? Maybe a different profile or maybe some tweak?

Thanks, man. How do do I tell if I want the LH1 or the LJ1 version?

Edit: Nevermind, I found it. Last three of the build number. I'm guessing I just unzip, slap into odin and upload?

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Galahad_Knight:
Buggeration, I just flashed the LH1 fix and lost root.

And CWM doesn't work properly on my phone (Can't key into it, have to soft boot into recovery, which requires root)

So I'm reflashing the pre-rooted kernel...which I'm hoping won't just undo what I just did with the tethering fix. Anyone know for sure?

Well, just reflashed root kernel and it looks like the fix did help. 49ms ping, 15.41mbps down and 1.9 down according to speedtest.net on my laptop. Slower than my in-home wifi (12, 24.69 and 3.49) but still fast enough for most on the go usage and all i need for my nexus7

When I tried it pre-fix the ping was so high (over 100) that it couldn;t even do the rest of the test

Thieves can wipe the device from recovery and your hosed.

A button lockout would serve the same purpose, coupled with a screen password to prevent button unlock. ..

We can do that already with a market application i think. ...g

PLEASE READ ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND IF YOU QUESTION ANYTHING ASK IN THE Q AND A SECTION! Do not flash ANYTHING NOT MADE FOR YOUR SPECIFIC MODEL OF S3, THIS INCLUDES INTERNATIONAL ROMS. If you don't know what you are about to do, DON'T DO IT, ask somebody first. This is freaking common sense to me, and most of us, but I know a lot of people lack that skill these days. And if you still end up bricking your device get a JTAG, DON'T COMMIT FRAUD BY GOING TO THE STORE AND ACTING LIKE A OBLIVIOUS IDIOT THAT HAS NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED. Take some responsibility for your mistakes and actions, that YOU alone did, and pay the insurance claim or JTAG. I know this isn't the first time this has been talked about, and surely not the last, but maybe this will prevent one freaking brick, and we won't have to see.

I agree if this continues to occur. I would expect to begin to see higher cost for phones and insurance premiums for everyone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
TEP/asurion have already begun to creep up in price from ~$7/month to ~$11/month deductible from $100 to $200. Early upgrades, premier membership etc have been stripped. This is due to the abuse of the generous in house warranty services sprint provides for their customers so they don't have to wait weeks for the mfg. Sprint could just as easily tell you to go eff yourself and deal with the manufacturer just like any other retailer does. They have absolutely 0 legal or moral responsibility to honor the manufacturer warranty in store, they do so as a courtesy.

Anyone else notice how the most common ROM causing these bricks is the Omega ROM?

In case you are unaware, omega happens to be "the end" of the Greek alphabet. How fitting that so many phones should meet their "end" with that ROM...

Irony is a bastard.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] meyerweb:
I suspect returns of bricked phones are lost in the noise of general warranty replacements. Samsung's sold what, 40 million GS3s? (Or is it "only" 20 million? I can't remember.) Only a tiny fraction of these buyers come to forums like this one or AC, and only a small fraction of those who go to AC ever root (I suspect the percentage is higher here, but we're still a tiny fraction of phone buyers). And of that small number who root, only a fraction brick their phones.

When a bricked phone gets returned to Samsung, I suspect they can reflash the device, and put it into the refurb pool for future warranty replacements.

Does that mean I don't blame people for messing with things they don't understand and turning their phones into expensive door stops? No, but mistakes happen. None of us are immune from that disease. Nor do I condone people who brick their phones through their own stupidity returning them to the carrier for replacement. I just suspect the cost impact is negligible. I'm willing to bet Assurian's price increases are driven by broken screens far more than by bricked phones.

Giant.... You aren't perfect whatsoever. So don't make yourself out to seem like it. Everyone has flaws an us as human beings, we're prone to mistakes. Returning a bricked phone here an there won't cause any issues as in insurance prices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
If you return a bricked device by playing stupid, you're committing fraud which is A) morally wrong and B) can be legally wrong depending on the circumstances. Samsung and Sprint both have the right to bill you the full amount of the replacement device if they so choose after you've defrauded them out of a new one. The warranty does not cover bricks, physical damage or anything other than manufacturer defects. It's a moral issue, most honest people would take responsibility for their error and pay for their mistake instead of playing dumb and cheating their way into a free device because they screwed up. It doesn't matter if someone isn't perfect it's all about being responsible for your own actions and not being a self entitled scumbag and thinking Samsung and/or Sprint should pay for your dumbass mistake because you couldn't be bothered to pay attention to what the hell you're doing when messing with your $700 device. As a matter of fact I paid full price off contract for my Note 2, I screwed it up (not bricked but borked my IMEI so it wouldn't connect to the network) I didn't try to claim a warranty on it, I paid full price for a new device since I fu*ked mine up all on my own.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
The insurance covers accidental damage. We are talking about people who play dumb to get it replaced under warranty for free/$35 not people who pay for TEP and then pay the deductible. That would be owning up for your mistake and actually paying for it. Big difference than not having insurance and getting a replacement under the manufacturer warranty as a defect cuz you go in and say "gee idk what happened it just stopped working" knowing damn well why it "just stopped working" because they didn't pay attention and flashed sh*t for the wrong device.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Look, I work in real insurance, homeowners currently, and I see first hand on a daily basis how the few affect the whole. Every time a fraudulent claim slips past we have to recoup the money somehow or we go bankrupt and can no longer provide our services to those who deserve them. Typically we recoup the losses by raising everyone's premium. So even tho the amount of policy holders who commit fraud is a small percentage of the total number of policy holders, their crooked tactics effect the honest policy holders negatively when we have to raise their premium. It's part of doing business. No company is in business to give money away, they're in business to make a profit. Fraud even on a small scale effects everyone as a whole when the company realizes they aren't bringing in enough profit to at least break even they increase their prices to make up the losses so that they can continue providing their services and paying their employees. When Samsung/Sprint realize they aren't making the profit vs the device's going out of inventory guess what's going to happen? That's right prices will go up to make up for that lost money. Sprint already loses money hand over fist by purchasing the device's at a premium and then subsidizing them to the customers at a loss in hopes of making up those losses in monthly payments on the contract. This is why the contract is typically 24 months to guarantee they have your commitment to pay for their services so that they actual post a profit on that device they kindly discounted over 60% for you. This is also why there is an ETF on the contract so if you decide to leave early they can recoup the money subsidized on the device, and even then the ETF doesn't cover the full cost of the device.

Yeah but you cant blame the rom. Blame the people lol. If you flash an international rom your fault. Not theirs

Sent from my blue galaxy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] peskyheart:
Alright -- but what happens when you can blame the ROM? I've been trying to quietly look for answers to my question, but it appears that I will actually have to ask this time.

I rooted my GS3 December and have flashed various different ROMs, but lately I've been sticking with the CM10.1 nightlies. I hadn't updated the ROM in a while... the last version I flashed was a slightly-stable nightly from the end of March (I can't remember the exact version). Yesterday, the CMUpdater decides to tell me that 'Oh, look! There's an update for your ROM!'

So, it downloaded the EXPERIMENTAL M3 20130411 (which, after doing research after flashing, has lots of bugs and shouldn't have used that one) and flashed it. I wiped the cache and Dalvik cache (didn't do factory wipe since I wasn't changing ROMs) -- and everything appeared fine.

I was in the middle of actively using my phone last night (playing Ingress, should any of you be familiar) and the screen suddenly blacked out on me. I knew I still had 50% battery life, so when I couldn't get my phone to respond at all... I got a bit worried. After reading through as many threads as I have now, I am 90% certain that it is hardbricked.

I've been hesitant to post on the forums here just because compared to a lot of others, I would be considered a n00b... especially since I happen to be female :rolleyes:, but I do know what I'm doing.

This problem for me... unfortunately... has me completely stumped. So, I will be posting in a few different threads to see if I can possibly get a different answer than the one I really don't want -- but, I wanted to throw in my two cents here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mordbane:
Developers aren't perfect. That's why they usually have a disclaimer at the top of their threads that say "FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK".

As much as I want to be the first to try the new hotness, I wait for the more adventurous types to flash and report. It still doesn't guarantee success, but it improves the odds. I'm OK with dropping $300 for a used phone, but I'd like to avoid it if possible.

Flashing ROMs is easy, thanks to some talented developers, (probably too easy), but it shouldn't be taken lightly. Everytime you flash your phone you should be prepared for the worst. Regardless of who's fault it was, you're stuck holding the brick.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Again. It was just a funny observation that the ROM most of these noobs were flashing is called Omega, aka "the end", aka "the end of their phones". I wasn't placing blame on anyone or anything, just making the obvious correlation between a ROM synonymous with "the end" and people ending their phones' lives. I have no idea why you have to make this a political correctness issue instead of just laughing at the irony. You, sir, need to find yourself a sense of humour. This is stupid.

You keep twisting my comment into something it's not just to argue about where to cast blame. I wasn't blaming the ROM, and you keep saying I am. It's insulting that you keep ignoring the lighthearted nature and overall point of the comment just to push your own agenda for no reason.

For the record, I blame the idiots that flash international ROMs for their bricks 100%. It's their fault for not reading and has nothing to do with the ROM. I don't think anyone here is going to argue against you on that, and that's why I think it's stupid that you keep trying to argue with me about it. I'm not trying to argue. I was trying to point out irony. The most common ROM that the noobs are flashing is the Omega ROM. You can go through all the threads and see that the Omega ROM is involved 90%+ of the time. It's not the ROM's fault, but it's the ROM that the idiots are flashing. Considering the meaning of "Omega" and that the act of flashing it (again, the idiots' faults) is bringing their phones to "the end" of their lives, it's ironic, and I thought other folks would appreciate the irony. Apparently, I was wrong.

Thanks for ruining the joke and making people hate me for having to defend myself for no reason. Much appreciated.

Whatever. I'm sorry for wasting everyone's time by trying to share something that made me laugh in the hopes that others may get a chuckle. I didn't realize that a non-serious comment would be taken so seriously and that people would take a figure of speech in a joke so literally. I'll just go mind my own business, then.

I get what you're saying and it is ironic that ppl keep choosing omega to commit phonecide with. But I get what hes saying too your first post kind of came off like it was the rom the way you worded it. When I first read your post I had to see if omega was one of those multi carrier roms with an aroma install and people were just being dumb on install. But yes it is ironic thst people keep going after omega as the go to international rom to bork their phone with.
