I'm with Martin on this:

Until you are sure that your tab is not a lemon with major hardware issues I would not unlock it.

You can root it and start playing around with some more advanced settings in the meantime. Wouldn't it really suck if you unlocked and a day or week later the digitizer would go bad? Asus could say: Sorry, pal - you're unlocked, you're out of warranty.

They have repaired even unlocked devices under warranty, but you can't count on it. And in some cases the repaired tablet came back with a permanently locked bootloader....

So give it a few weeks, in the meantime start reading the relevant thread of your favorite custom ROM(s) to get a feel for them, and familiarize yourself with the process and lingo of flashing.

You could start here:

I feel a little sheepish since we basically hijacked the original thread, but since the original topic is pretty much outdated and not active anymore, I guess it is ok. I kinda walked a user through the whole process of rooting/flashing a custom rom etc.

Start with post #191. In #193 I wrote a step-by-step guide which HeartWare42 fleshed out even more in post #220.

Note anything you don't understand and Google it.

Read 3 times, ask twice, flash once :))

Thanks for the info guys, I'll check the hardware first!
[Asus Transformer TF700] codeinish:
Hi there,

When I had bought my tf700 I did'nt have a clue what custom rom is.

I was totally naive and ignorant as to Android technology.

I was disappointed with my TF700 performance and lived with it for a couple of months.

Afterwards, I searched the internet until I have found this marvellous forum (which attracts OCDs like the fire attracts moth).

I read and read and read and read, and read more and asked the fine users of this fine forum if I got it all right,

and then one springy night on the end of March 2013, something happened.

A magic...

"I took the red pill" :) , unlocked my TF700, pushed TWRP and flashed CROMI.

Everything went super.

Ever since then I follow Sbdags CROMI-X thread and keep update my firmware.

Just to remind you - I am not a Computer wizard, my occupation has got almost nothing to do with electronics and I am not a kid (actually I am 37 with many obligations like family and work - so my spare time is scarce).

And here I am - master of my TF700!

So - everything is possible!

And if you follow instructions and restrict yourself to the right method - you can be rest assured you won't brick your device.

Actually It's like cooking: you should find a good recipe and act accordingly.

Cheers

[Asus Transformer TF700] jonlad1:
So I finally got it delivered today :D

It looks good, no damage, screen bleed that i can see. Screen seems fine.

Its running JRO3C.US_epad-10.4.4.25-20121228

JB 4.1.1

I'm not really sure where to go from here - should I wait a few days or just unlock and put CROMI-X on now?

Speed of the system isnt bad, transitions seem a bit slow, havent really installed a bunch of apps yet...
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You are itching to do it, right? :D

I can tell, you can hardly wait....:)

Well, the rational next step would be to wait a week, or two, or however long you can stand it, and then unlock etc.

But where's the fun in rational, right?

Well, while you decide - why not upgrade it to JB 4.2.1? Saves you a bootloader flash and clean install later....
[Asus Transformer TF700] jonlad1:
Is 4.2.1 worth the update? I read that 4.2.1 caused a few issues for some people....

I probably will just flash it :) It feels like it should run quicker, take Maps for example. seems REALLY laggy but on my N7 it was fine? :confused:
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
JB 4.2 was better for most people, others had issues with Bluetooth tethering and some other stuff...

The reason I recommend you upgrade to stock 4.2 is mainly that then you automatically would have the correct bootloader on our tablet.

For Cromi-X you need the 4.2 bootloader. If you are on 4.1 you have to flash it before you flash Cromi-X, if you are already on 4.2 you're good to go. One less thing that could go wrong....
[Asus Transformer TF700] jonlad1:
That makes sense, I'll get that updated tonight, cheers

Does CROMIx improve the laggy transitions/Maps/Browser?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
It improves e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g :D

[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
You will not be disappointed. Welcome to the OCFD corner.

Now that I think of it: http://hope4ocd.com/checklist.php is missing the "Needing the have the latest and greatest x.x.xxxxx version of your ROM", or "Needing to flash at least 5 ROMs a week". Can we petition that? ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jonlad1:
Hmm, I just tried to update via OTA and it said my system is up to date? I'm on 4.1.1?

EDIT - ok, updated manually. Trying to use the unlock tool but getting "Unkown Error. This may be a connection issue" - is that what'll happen if it's not gonna work for me?
[Asus Transformer TF700] rushless:
You could have got the Nook HD+ 32GB for $180 and dead easy to root and put CM 10.1 or Carbon on it and no concern of bricking it. Stock 2.1 on the HD+ is barely ok (very barely), but CM 10.1 rocks.

A little smaller tablet, but same great display resolution. I use this more than my iPad 4 now, which is both a compliment to the HD+ and an insult to how much I paid for the iPad 4.
[Asus Transformer TF700] faustus1005:
Personally, when I had this problem, I just tried to run the app every day for a week oe so and it eventually works, but others have had to use tricks. Use the search for unlock, you will find several ideas about fixing it.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] postadelmaga:
I have spent lot of time trying to unlock Xperia J with lockedboot loader on Linux.

There are actually a lot of thread with lot of confusion as it is very easy to unlock it on Windows using unlocker but on Linux this is soft is not working and FlashTool actually doesn't provide any integrated way to root the device.

Here what you need to do:

Downgrade to 11.0.A.3.28

Flash the device using FlashTool and the above Firmware

Use this guide to root the device http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886460

I flashed a rom (yes it was for the proper device) and I followed everything step by step. My phone went into a bootloop where it vibrates and the samsung logo pops up then it turns off and starts over again. I turned off the phone and tried to go into recovery mode but it just shows the TWRP screen and then go into the bootloop again. I also tried going into download mode to odin back to stock but my device isn't even recognized even after installing kies. what can i do??? :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
What model device do you have?

What rom did you flash?

What rom did you start with?

Did you recently flash anything else?

What steps did you follow when you flashed?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcoxx626:
I have the T-mobile SGH-T999. I was flashing the latest version of universe s4 for the sgh-t999 and i was coming from stockorama_v2, i had not recently flashed anything either. I went into recovery (TWRP), did a factory reset and then flashed universe s4 and got stuck in a bootloop. I've flashed a bunch of times before but never had this happen =/ now my device isn't even recognized even after installing the drivers....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KingKostas:
remove your battery and try to get into recovery, wipe everything, try to reflash, then wipe again. might help not sure. but if you can get into download mode for your device to be recognizable i think you have to uninstall the kies drivers
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcoxx626:
I can't even get into recovery mode, when I try it just goes into a bootloop. I'm trying to use odin but when i flash clockwork mod it said failed :/
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The Sickness:
Try to flash back to stock
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Instead of trying to flash cwm, try flashing the root66 firmware.

---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 AM ----------

Also, uninstall kies and the drivers. Then try one of the driver versions in my sig.

If you have kies installed that may be causing odin problems.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] marcoxx626:
Ok guys so after removing and reinstalling the drivers on my laptop for about 4 hours straight I finally got the device to be "recognized" and I was able to flash back to stock with Odin. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lunshao:
Reinstall the drivers for this device, a simple google can give you following information:

This is a Windows device driver error. As device drivers can be used anytime your computer is trying to use a hardware resource, it can be difficult to tell which process is causing the error. If you notice the error when trying to do a specific task, identifying the source of the problem may be easier. For detail, see error.info/windows/driver-18.html

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stylezofnz:
Hey guys.

I recently purchased a Sony XAV-701BT headunit which has Mirrorlink. I own an Xperia P (which I love!) and of course at this stage there is no mirrorlink compatibility.

I found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2210867 on here and went through the process, unlocking bootloader, rooting phone and then installed the zip as per instructions. I watched the necessary tutorials etc and read what was needed. I'm NOT a phone guru in any way but I do understand things and read/watch what is necessary. any way my phone now has a mirror link function under XPERIA in the menu but when I try to connect it the unit just says please reattach mirrorlink compatible device and doesn't do anything. The phone brings up the "Install pc companion?" box. My ONLY reason to root my phone and do all this is to get mirrorlink to work.

The phone is a XPERIA P LT22i

Running jellybean V4.1.2

Build Number 6.2.A.0.400

Kernel Version: 3.0.75-ThP_ICS_kernel_v10.2

The only thing I noticed is the developer stated that this will work on all ICS Xperias. Do I need to downgrade to ICS? Even with mirrorlink showing as available on the phone? Or can anyone suggest an alternative option to get it working. Would flashing it with the ripped Xperia Z V4.2.2 android leak work?

Thanks in advance. I realy do appreciate the help, Matt.

[General Topics] powerdonk:
Hi all,

Would appreciate help and comments on the following issues I have with my new XDA IIs. Have always been a Palm user but some issues that I face looks more than just software issues.

1. Reception - When my phone comes out from an area without phone reception, it does not get back connection until someone calls or sms. So no outgoing calls possible until someone calls me or sms me. It's a major pain in the neck.

2. Bluetooth - does not work with my Motorolla headset which worked brlilliantly with Nokia and Sony Ericsson. I can hear the other party but they hear everything else loud except my voice soft.

3. Hangs a lot or rather, sluggish at times

4. Does not cut off calls even when end call button on the handsfree set is pressed.

Can anyone help??? :cry: :cry:

In my opinion why don't you Upgrade your ROM, there's lots of articles in this forum how to upgrade your handset.. "Search" Follow the instructions and I assume your device will work properly once for all ;)
[General Topics] benyeap:
Get the latest v1.31 ROM update from O2 service center
[General Topics] DaleReeck:
As far as the hangs go, I would clean out every unnecessary thing that's in the \Windows\Startup folder. This is stuff that is automatically started up on a soft reset. Stuff like the "aPerSave..." file links for example should be moved somewhere else for safe keeping. I have a PDA2K, so I don't know if you have the same files as I do, but I imagine they are pretty siilar. The Pocket PC OS is limited to 32 running processes and out of the box the PDA2K is running close to that number already. I imagine the IIs is configured similarly. Starting more than 32 processes can cause others to shut down prematurely, causing hangs. So, getting rid of the unnecessary processes leaves more free for apps later on as you are using the device.

I had many unexplained hangups on my PDA2K until I cleaned out that Startup folder. Once I did that, the hangs vanished.

Try this:

This feature is great for people who

a) Have a bad KIES flash

b) Stuff up their phone somehow

c) Accidentally flash something dodgy via ODIN

d) Some other random occurence

To test this feature you just need to start with your phone turned off... Best way to be sure is to remove the battery.

Then

1. Put battery back in

2. Press and hold Volume Up + Home Key

3. Continue holding those buttons and then press and hold power button.

4. When you see the logo pop up release power button ONLY

5. Keep holding two buttons from step 2 until you enter recovery mode.

I hope this helps!

You must read this ... Seriously everyone.

DUDE!!!! I have the samsung galaxy s4 att sgh-i337. I recently just tried flashing uxylon from the goo manager . I did standard procedure of factory reset twice, then cache and dalvik cache wipe two times. Just so happens as Im waiting for uXylon or whatever its spelled to flash , my phone decides to stay at the boot screen.... :( At this point im sweating. After a few minutes i take the battery out and restart regularly . I restart and wait 10 minutes thinking it still may flash uxylon. NOPE. :,( Now im getting really scared. I try to the custom recovery mode.... no twrp OR SYSTEM RECOVERY .... Now Im Falling over scared. I take out battery try again. power , home , volume up , repeatedly . It wont even say booting recovery it only says recovery options then black screen untill I release the buttons. . Then bootloop to logo no recovery. Now Im frantic. I look up adam outler's page on ODIN recovery with stock firmware and ddownload ucuadml and ucuamdb not knwoing which , if either of them , would flash through ODIN. So im frantically flying through the web for 3 hours searching some magic button combo or something that may help me just reach my recoveries in twrp (since the computer would not recognize even in download mode) . I look everywhere. EVERYWHERE. This point i figure i can try odin and its my last chance. Im waiting on the firware to download right now to this second as I type . Somehow God magically guided me to this page though ... because I did about 300 google searches looking for a way to get my twrp back and use my nandroids. NOTHING until now..... I run across this post and move down and come across your post. "have you tried this button combo ? " I read the next comment . "NO no combos worked." Clciked forward a few pages and found nothing. Im giving up ... its over... Either ODIN will work and flash my stock firmware or I will have no way to turn my paper weight back into a cell phone. As Im click the back button i come across THIS post YOUR actual comment. I read it and think ... I didnt try that. I tried it the way you posted. Home + volume up ... nothing happens .... I add the power button and it boots same way as before booloop. Im infuriated..... I press it again the way you posted and suddenly ..... TWRP's beautiful blue screen pops up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I rostroe my cleanROM 1.0 nand and Im back up . I seriously just want to thank you for posting this little comment that you probably thought would never really help anyone at all. This truly TRULY just saved my phone . I mean you just saved my day , brother. Seriously thank you . Im so happy right now it's like I bought a brand new s4 lol. Thank you so much buddy. Real talk. :highfive:
