Hi there,

So I have really f***ed the phone! I have no OS installed on it (I have the TWPR 2.5). When I go into recovery OR remain on the black screen with Google on it, and connect it to the computer, my phone shows up in Device managers, but then it comes with a "!" saying that it is not working properly. I have been following the following three tutorials:

ok so before i get my head bit off i will start by saying I have been trawling through the forums and searching around and am still drawing blanks and have just been getting more and more confused. so in the hopes of regaining my bearings I ask this,

I bought an asus tf700 tablet it came with 4.2.1 jb installed (the guy updated just before i picked it up OTA)

it was not rooted/unlocked AFAIK at any point.

now I would like to get paranoid android running on it. so my understanding of android (which is very little as i've only ever used an s3 i9305 which was easy to get rooted and ready)

i keep reading through different threads that to unlock the bootloader to get custom roms onto the device it cannot have the updated bootloader that jb 4.2.1 installs but then there are contradictions that state it can be by taking xyz steps then more contradictions stating you must go back to ICS root, preserve root then unlock bootloader and update to JB. but other posts claim doing that is incorrect

then more threads still state that jb can be rooted and unlocked just like any other revision would be but you cannot use the ASUS unlocker for some reasons i didnt quite understand 1 was about asus bricking you for it or tracking you?? and the other was it is not compatible with 4.2 JB only ICS (this is why i keep getting confused. one moment its yes then its no dont do cant be done)

further more it seems that the asus unlocker is the only way to unlock the bootloader on a tf700 but if you cant use it then how can you unlock your bootloader?

i have no idea what direction i am supposed to be going in so here is where i am at the moment

tf700 - stock 4.2.1 jellybean -

kernel version - 3.1.10-g03bdcb1

build number - JOP40D.WW_epad-10.6.1.14.4-20130329

pad EC version - PAD-EC20T-0216

i am hoping to get it rooted+unlcoked to install

paranoid android v 3.15.

so do i need to downgrade to ICS and if so are there any specific steps required or is it a simple copy to SDcard or internal memory and run the stock recovery mode or download mode = install and done or do i need to modify any files or set any specific options?

or can i simply root and unlock it as it is and then flash TWRP or CWM and have SU + install the custom rom and be on my merry way?

sorry if this is considered super simple stuff but coming from the s3 which was a simple point and click with ODIN to get CWM then just copy ROM's to an SD and select flash ROM after clearing data/cache+dalvik this is a lot more complicated..
[Asus Transformer TF700] kanjo:
downgraded -

okay so upon even more searching i got the device to downgrade to 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich

so from here i have gathered that i need to now "unlock" the bootLDR to be able to install custom roms

afaik cant be undone but will allow custom roms+custom recovery. so looking in to that now. will report back....basically to noone haha.

see ya soon kanjo.

[Asus Transformer TF700] RavenMad:
Nope, I'm here and listening - I'm in exactly the same boat. Seems if you have a totally stock JB tab, there's not much info/guides around about how to actually unlock the bootloader (from which everything else flows - NVFlash, custom recovery, bootloader, root, ROM)
[Asus Transformer TF700] kanjo:
well luckily i got my boat to land and it seems extremely complicated but it is in fact damn easy as hell to get it all working once you get it done right once.

what i done was

downgrade 4.2.1 JB to 4.0.3 ICS just by downloading the 9.4.5.30 firmware file

(using the stock recovery options. which was a pain in the ass because it took me about an hour and a half to get it to work with the file)

which can be found in this thread here

you need to extract the file within the first zip (its a zip within a zip)

you must then rename the zip you extracted to

EP201_768_SDUPDATE.ZIP and place it on the root of your SD card (i believe internal memory works also. but i used an old 1gb SD)

you then turn off the tablet. boot it up by holding power and volume down until you get the menu with 3 icons on screen. you press volume up to access the first option.

if it works it should install and downgrade to ICS all on its own.

in my case for over an hour i just kept getting errors and redownloaded the file many times even though the MD5 was fine. eventually it worked

so you will then be on 4.0.3 ICS which is right where you need to be.

from there you pick your route depending on what you want to do.

if you just want root you can use the automated root tool found in the beginning of this thread

and then there are steps to preserve root and update to stock JB ectect but i did not understand them at all and that was not the way i went

i unlocked the bootloader so i could install a custom ROM (parranoid android in this case)

so you unlock the bootloader by following this thread

but in doing so you lose any warranty you may have had and from what i was able to find it is irreversible. but once that is done you can use the automated root tool and you will be unlocked and rooted on ICS. from there you install GOOmanager from the play store and download TWRP for your TF700 by pressing the menu button (3 buttons in the top right) and select install OpenRecoveryScript

throw any custom rom you want to install on to your SD card

once that is done you can reboot into that recoery mode by swtich the tablet off.

holding volume down and power for boot. a white line of text will appear where you will get 5 seconds to press volume up to access TWRP

from there you need to wipe data a factory reset . then select advance wipe and wipe cache + dalvik cache options

then install the custom rom of your choice which you loaded on to your SD card. Flash and go

now it seems so damn easy im a little annoyed with myself.

hope this helps you out :)

I'm still locked but i will probably unlock and install alternative rom after my 1-year warranty is gone (end of july). I keep your thread in memory as it's exactly what i will need at that time. Thanks a lot man
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
Actually, I have seen a couple people successfully unlock on 4.2.1, but I suggest downgrading to 4.1.1 (10.4.4.25 version), unlocking, rooting, installing TWRP via GooManager, flashing the 4.2.1 boot loader, then installing whichever ROM you want.

PS, make sure the rom works on the 4.2.1 boot loader first. Cyanogen Mod, Cromi, and CromiX will work. I am not positive on other ROMS.

Thanks for the advise. When i will do that in august, i will first look at the dev threads to have up-to-date informations before i start
[Asus Transformer TF700] RavenMad:
So, the Asus unlock tool with work on 10.4.4.25 bootloader? Their website says only compatible with ICS...
[Asus Transformer TF700] kanjo:
You sound like you know your stuff so can I ask, why would my tf700 be running so dreadfully slow? In benchmarks its scoring real low.

Unlocking has lag. Browsing = lag. Anything I do is very very noticeably slow. It's like trying to play a game at 5FPS and dropping.

Tried stock JB and ICS. now using paranoid android. Still extremely slow.

I hear that the force 2D rendering option may be to blame but that hasn't really effected much

It's painfully slow. The same rom on my i9305 runs at least 10x smoother. I know different devices and such but considering that afaik (isn't much about droids) the tf700 is supposed to be better performance wise nthough I could be wrong.

I just feel that this tablet cannot possibly be running as slow as it is. I will do more searching around to see if I can find a solution to the problem.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
Backup all apps on your tablet, factory reset it, flash CromiX 4.3 Final. Then in the last few pages of CromiX flash the Play Store and browser patch. After CromiX is up and running, disable all locations services, unless you use them, go into dev settings and switch all animations to .5x. Next, go into apps and disable what you do not use, such as gmail, etc. This will help your tablet a lot. ParanoidAndroid is one of the slower ROMS for the TF700. CromiX ATM is the fastest right now, even though it is stock built. You must also remember this tablet has a small GPU for pushing full HD screen so gaming is expected to lag by all who have looked over kernals and such. Once a fully stable OC kernal releases, it may be a good idea to try it out. In quadrant with Cromix's default kernal I get about 6200 in quadrant.

Tylor
[Asus Transformer TF700] kanjo:
Will give that a shot now. I wish I had known about the gpu+screen being a problem before I bought it. Oh well. Hopefully I'll learn more and more about it and things will improve. For now I'm a novice. Will download and flash that rom now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
Well truthfully it is hardly an issue on CROMIX but it can still be seen when doing heavy gaming. Also the cursor jumping is fixed with CROMIX as well this tablet is indeed one of a kind and since you are unlocked the gpu issue shouldn't be a problem.

Tylor
[Asus Transformer TF700] kanjo:
Tisntrueni am now unlocked. But lag is very high. Downloading cromix now to give that a shot. The only game I've ran on it was conduit to test

What I meant with fps thing was an analogy. If you've had a game run st low low low fps that is what my entire tablets UI is running like. Let's give cromix a try and see if that helps improve things. If not it may be. Hardware fault with my unit (dear god I hope not)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
I doubt it. Perform a factory reset before flashing, then flash CROMIX, then load it up and give it ten minutes to stabilize, restore apps, then perform a cold boot.

ROM: Cromi-X 4.3

Kernal: _That's V2
[Asus Transformer TF700] kanjo:
i ended up in a weird boot loop.

would install the rom get to the finish screen then the boot logo would come up, and hang there. left it for over 15 mins and still stayed there.

how do i get it to boot again ?

thought i had bricked it. but i just loaded the 4.0.3 ICS rom on to an SD and flashed that from recovery (TWRP) just waiting for it to finish installing/loading up.

i think it will be unrooted but remain unlocked now. will try installing a new copy of CromiX. odd though, i checked the md5's before using it and they matched perfectly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
You need to flash 10.4.4.25 and not go back to ice cream sandwich, it might be the reason for the boot loop because of the boot loader version.

Tylor

ROM: Cromi-X 4.3

Kernal: _That's V2

---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

You need to be on 10.4.4.25 which is jb 4.1.1. Then install twrp. One twrp is installed you must flash the twrp and 4.2.1 boot loader zip file. Once the zip file is flagged, boot back into stock 4.1.1. After you but back in, boot into recovery and install CROMIX. That should get you where you need to be but you should not be reading back to ice cream sandwich.

Tylor

ROM: Cromi-X 4.3

Kernal: _That's V2
[Asus Transformer TF700] kanjo:
oh crap... it finished flashing ICS and its loaded up and working. pretty damn well i might add. it actually feels fast now. im almost tempted to just leave it as is. but i want to try out cromix now.

settings tab says this

android version - 4.0.3

kernel 2.6.39.4

not sure how i can check what my bootLdr is from where i am.

if i want to go to cromix from where i am can i just factory reset - TWRP wipe cache+dalvik and flash

or will that just cause more problems?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
Since you installed the stock ROM twrp will no longer be installed so flash the10.4.4.25 ROM from Asus website and flash it. Then follow the procedure that I have given you.

Meaning that you root, install twrp from goomanager, boot into twrp, flash the twrp and 4.2.1 boot loader, boot back into 4.1.1, then boot back into recovery and flash CROMIX.

Tylor

ROM: Cromi-X 4.3

Kernal: _That's V2
[Asus Transformer TF700] kanjo:
so get to 4.1.1 - flash TWRP onto it so i will be on 4.1.1 with TWRP.

from there boot into TWRP and flash the 4.2.1 bootldr file (is that in the index thread or else where?)

once that is done. reboot. then boot back into TWRP and flash CromiX.

have i got that right?

--edit--

is this the bootloader file you are referring to?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2223918
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
It is is the stock 4.2.1 thread is the dev section. It is a zip containing TWRP and the boot loader. It wont hurt to flash it. So yes.

1. Get 10.4.4.25 JB 4.1.1 stock ROM

2. Root using motochopper and install TWRP via GooManager

3. Boot into TWRP and flash the 4.2.1 boot loader and TWRP zip file. It wont hurt to flash it over your current TWRP.

4. Boot back into 4.1.1.

5. Boot into TWRP and flash CROMIX.

That is the process.

I've scanned every firewall app for Android it seems and can't find what I'm looking for.

I'd like to install a firewall allowing me to manage web access permissions per app per IP address. Ideally upon each app's first web access, the firewall should prompt me, saying 'such and such app is trying to access such and such IP' and one should have options to allow/deny the app's access for the specific IP, and and/or all IPs in general.

All the advanced firewalls for Android only allow allow/deny management for data and wifi access separately, but for all IPs and not by individual IP.

Anyone know of a firewall that would allow me to do what I'm looking for?

I would like to ask something, what I've read is not possible. I think I've just cross flashed a WW model TF700 to US.

1. I didn't know which model I had, but the recovery started with saying WW

2. I flashed TF700_421_US_BootRec_Flasher_Signed

3. After rebooting, it had the blue bars go to full, and I was stuck at the Asus screen as I had no ROM.

4. This moment I thought I bricked the device. It went black for minutes nothing happened, except for Vol Down + Power up for 5 minutes.

5. Somehow I was able to start it. Now is starts with US recovery... Strange!

How do I know if I have US model or WW model? Is it possible to know it from serial number?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
the question is where do you live and do you know what's the original model when you purchased the tablet? In reality, you can use either US or WW as long as you flash the correct SKU bootloader and use the same SKU rom version.
[Asus Transformer TF700] zsero:
OK I realized I was on a WW model, since after unlocking + flashing TWRP, it started with WW on top! This is actually I think the best way to check which model you are on!

Later I cross flashed to US, and the tablet started! But I cross flashed back to WW and it works fine!

[HTC Inspire 4G] shadowmst:
I've been trying multiple JB ROMs over the past few days and have been unable to get the GPS working. Specifically I've tried AOKP(4/7), Cyanogen10.1 (4/4 and 3/22), and codefireX SR19.

I've tried with and without the inspiremod+gpsfix. The GPS works on stock 2.3.3 so it isn't HW. I've tried swapping out the gps lib with other versions including from the stock rom.

I'm beginning to suspect the radio though other users seem to be using it with success (12.69a.60.29_26.17.14.11). I tried flashing another radio using the bootloader with PD98IMG.zip on the SD card, but the file either ditches instantly or hangs while parsing (I suspect this is a safeguard in the bootloader?). My device is not S-OFF (I arrived a bit late to that party), however I've read conflicting reports that you can do this without S-OFF using that method.

Everything is great, if I can just get the damn GPS to work. I've burned 8 hours running through options and I'm coming up empty. Hopefully one of you has some magic you can sprinkle on this issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shadowmst:
In a last ditch effort I tried JellyTime 4.2 R6.1 and had some success. GPS works now. Perhaps it's a kernel issue. I am curious as to why that might be. This seems to be 4.2.1 instead of 4.2.2 so perhaps that has something to do with it.

For anybody that isn't familiar with it, the UG008 is an RK3066 device very similar to the UG007 but in a larger case and with the addition of an external wifi antenna, ethernet port, and an analog A/V port. I went with it primarily because the analog A/V port allows you to connect a set of speakers when using it with an HDMI to DVI adapter (for viewing on a computer monitor) without the need for a separate USB sound card. Anyhow, to get to the point of this post...

Is there any way to add custom resolutions? It has the option for 1080p and 720p but the monitor I'm using has a native resolution of 1680x1050 (16x10). and stretches any non-native resolution to fill the screen. It's not bad in video, but text isn't as crisp as it should be.

Also, I was wondering if there is any way to connect another Android device with a usb cable to transfer files? I tried connecting my Note 2 which automatically launched the gallery app on the UG008 and gave me the option to transfer pictures but no way that I could find to transfer anything else. I assume if I could put the phone into mass storage mode it would work fine but unfortunately they seem to have done away with it in favor of MTP and PTP.

Thanks,
