[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samus88:
If what you say is true, then you can't flash CM10 on a stock ICS tablet, and that goes against every freaking tutorial I've read before messing with my tablet.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahvt:
What exactly is your bootloader version?

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samus88:
I'm not sure what my answer is. The "bootloader" was unlocked by the Asus app from their website. I did that by downloading (I believe it was V7) the apk from their website and installing that and unlocking the tablet. From there on, I just followed did fastboot flashing CWM and rooting. I never read a tutorial that said "you should flash JB bootloader before installing cm10". In fact I thought that just by unlocking the tablet, rooting and flashing the custom recovery one could just install a custom rom regardless of wether it's JB or not. It's funny because I didn't want to upgrade to stock JB because it seemed buggy from a lot of reviewers, and CM10 was the classic option to have JB and a lot of great features and speed. So I google time and time again how to flash CM10 on a ICS stock ASUS. I just followed the tutorials for that.

is my tablet unrecoverably bricked? I also tried fastbooting and "flash system blob" with the blob for the ICS 4.0.3 firmware, after a while of "sending" the file in the command prompt, I got a blue progress bar in the fastboot screen on the tablet and then "FAILED". So I guess that doesn't work either.

Nothing will work?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahvt:
Try entering fastboot reboot: does your tablet reboot or does it hang?

cm10 is android 4.1 it seems logical that it only runs on a 4.1 bootloader and not on an ics one! most posts must have said that you atleast need jelllybean 4.1.1

I was confused in the beginning aswell because my phone accepts any rom no matter what bootloader version!

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samus88:
If it makes so much sense that CM10 with JB 4.1 only boots with the JB bootloader, then how the hell one can go from ICS to CM10?! Google tutorial flash cm10 on asus tf300t stock ics and you'll find a thousand tutorials not one of which says you need JB bootloader. I mean, I assume one could upgrade to the official JB rom and then unlock bootloader, etc, but I'm telling you, every tutorial that said "stock ics to cm10" did no mention the bootloader version issue. I'm not trying toblame anyone other than myself for "bricking" my tablet, but I read so many tutorials to ensure I wouldn't mess it up that I'm very upset about this.

I can use fastboot and adb commands. But I haven't been able to flash the ICS stock rom so far. First of all, it's not on the Asus website anymore, and the one I got from the web gave me this error on CWM "instaling update.. installation aborted". I also tried flashing the .blob via fastboot and it also failed. It seems nothing works. Any thoughts, anyone?

philos64 posted links to some old ICS ASUS firmwares in this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33883254&postcount=3

Maybe worth a try ? Never been on ICS myself - just thought I'd mention this source...sorry for wasting your time if this is what you already tried.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samus88:
Yeah, I tried flashing the ICS 9.4.3.30 (my stock rom) and it didn't fly (said installation aborted) and also tried to flash it as a blob and it failed. I guess I deserve this, but I just can't bellieve this isn't fixable.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
We would like to know what bootloader you now have. You use the bootloader menu to get to cwm. Tell us how many ICONS you have and what they are. This way we will have more info to consider options if any.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samus88:
It's ICS. I have the Wipe Data and the Coldboot option. If I'm connecte with the usb cable, there's also the usb icon.

Currently I don't have the tablet, because I send it to a tech support place and they should give me a repair budget (if they deem it repairable, I guess) by tomorrow, but I'm not confident that they'll be able to fix it. So I'm still open to suggestions. Thanks!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
I reread the thread and I believe I would make a blob with just stock recovery (4.03) to match your bootloader. I know fastboot is failing on a complete blob but may process something as small as recovery. The blob could also be pushed to your tablet with adb and flash with that.

I made these choices as a place to begin since we need to match your bootloader.

Once stock recovery was in place we could use adb to push a once unzipped stock firmware (4.03) and get stock recovery to install it for us.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samus88:
Thanks a lot man. When I get the tablet back and you make me that blob I'll definitely give it a try. Although I have a question, I already have the once unzipped stock ICS on my tablet (pushed it with ADB), how do I install it with stock recovery should flashing that blob work?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
With stock recovery in place go into bootloader and pretend you are going into cwm that activates stock recovery now. If android lays down we'll rename the zip to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip and try again.

I'll download 4.03 and make the recovery blob tomorrow so we'll be ready.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samus88:
Sorry about that. I read "I would make" as "I will make", lol. Is there a stock recovery 4.0.3 blob on the internet for download? I'll get some sleep now, but I'll try to prepare everythng for when I get the tablet back, assuming I don't have fixed for me by tech support (although I'd love not to have to pay forit, right)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
No, there is the full blob in the factory firmware and that is what I'll use. It only takes a couple of minutes to extract the recovery image file which might flash and then re-blob just the recovery partition.

Downloading takes longer than everything else.

Update:

This zip contains stock 4.03 recovery as a blob and as an image file.

Unzip and try flashing the blob - if it fails try flashing twice more or until success. If it still fails try flashing the image file - three times if it fails.

Note:

These are to be flashed with fastboot or adb, not cwm.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samus88:
Great, thanks man. Unfortunately, I won't have my tablet until at least wednesday because of the holiday on my country (independence day and such). But I'll give it a try and get back to you.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samus88:
Hi, I'm sorry it took so long for me to reply, but I fell for a sort of scam from that tech support place... they returned my call about 10 days after I left my asus there saying something like "the problem is a broken screen and you have to replace it. it costs x amount of money". Of course I knew the problem wasn't any broken screen as 1) I left them my tablet without any screen problems. and 2) I "bricked" my tablet as you already know. So I went to pick up my asus to that place and what do you know? The screen was broken. Like someone either cut it or it fell and just broke. WTF, right? Well, they refuse to fix the screen saying they dind't have anything to do with it and my tablet is still "bricked". I mean, the screen has that cut but the tablet works and it's still stuck at the Asus logo.

Anyway, tomorror I'm free to experiment with that blob you prepared for me. But I need to check something with you. Do I try pushing the once-zipped stock firmware .zip named EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip first and then install the stock recovery with you blob right?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
After the blob is installed reboot to the bootloader and pretend you are going into twrp and stock recovery should install the zip you mention above.

It is just another way to install a stock firmware zip.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samus88:
Hi. I just tried to do what we agreed on, but here's what happened. I pushed the zip file via adb, no problem there (not that I can tell at least), and then via fastboot I flashed the recovery.img you gave me. As far as I could tell, that worked, no error notice or anything. But then I reboot my tablet, go into recovery mode, and I still get CWM. What did go wrong?

Also, I got a call from that techsupport place, and I have to take the tablet there again so they replace my screen (they seem to have taken responsability afterall) but I really could not care less about a pristine new touchscreen given that my tablet seems as bricked as hell. I still can't believe this... any other ideas?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samus88:
Hi, sorry to bump, but I still have my tablet "bricked" and I just don't know what to do. Does anyone have any other ideas? I'll get my tablet with the new touchscreen tomorrow but my tablet is still as screwed as it was before. I feel like ****, it's very sad. I just can't believe this can't be fixed.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsox:
This doesn't help you much, but I'm in exactly the same situation - i either get bootloop on the asus screen, or i can get into CWM but it can't mount anything. Pushing stock recovery or TWRP via adb seems to work until you reboot and the broken CWM comes up again.

I've done lots of looking around and have found a few people with this problem, but no solution yet. I'm posting this here so if I find a solution I'll be able to share it.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samus88:
It seems my luck is down for good... I got my tablet wiht the fixed new screen today... it seemed fine, but when I get home and start charging my tablet, I realize that the vol- button doesn't work (it's like a false button now, like it doesn't actually press when you press it, I don't know how else to explain it), so naturally I just emailed this arseholes but I don't think they'll reply till monday morning. I just don't see how I'm ever going to fix this tablet.
[HTC Desire X] cyphervld:
Hi, so here is the thing: Every now and then, usually daily, I take the phone out of pocket, unlock it, and it starts doing random presses on the screen, usually on the middle section, top to bottom. It ends up in the weather app, app drawer etc.

I try wiping it profusely to make sure there isn't any sweat or anything on it to cause it, but no luck. I tried rebooting, and sometimes it fixes the issue but most of the times it doesn't. I have a friend that has one and it started doing the same for him. Mine is Vodafone, his is Orange, so the firmware isn't EXACTLY the same... Anybody had this issue? Any ideeas?
[HTC Desire X] JoseluSpark:
Well, my Desire X (Vodafone) started to do the same thing in winter, I think it was due to low temperatures, so I believe that those random presses are sign of temperature/screen issue. Also my phone did this (sometimes) when it's overheated, maybe it can be temperature-sensitive screen.
[HTC Desire X] Will_Xda:
Also get this problem now and then, could this be fixed by just recalibrating screen ?

[HTC Desire X] MaartenXDA:
Lol, dirty screen

Sent from my awesome fridge
[HTC Desire X] RossFixxed:
Oooo matron! When my phone thinks about you it touches itself.

Mine does it too, I think it's down to any moisture (sweat etc) on the screen, seems to go absolutely bananas in that situation. The LCD used in this device is pretty poor and prone to these things. Finding a keyboard for the DX was annoying. Have 4 installed at the moment. Far easier in my expereience on the old Desire AMOLED screen etc.

Hi,

if you are italian and you are looking for qtek device and accessories, take a look of www.mail-mobile.it. They offer olso an Exchange mailbox that you can use for Active Sync sincronization...

At the moment you cannot pay with credit card but it will be possible in a while!

I bought my qtek S100... they are very kind...
[LG Optimus G Pro] MrDSL:
Got tired of that big AT&T label on my statusbar.

Download to sdcard and use the 2nd init recovery to reboot into recovery, then apply and reboot. I used madmack's qslide flashable as a base so it should work fine. I personally just use root explorer and move apks directly because I dont use this recovery.

Should work on odexed or deodexed LG Optimus G Pro ROMs.

hello, striking out trying to install this. 1st tried twrp, can't get it to install so i figure i'll use root explorer and switch the systemui.apk, but can't seem to find where that is on this phone, it's not showing up under system/

any ideas?
[LG Optimus G Pro] CapnPez:
I haven't tried it myself, but it looks like it's meant to replace LGSystemUI.apk in system/app/.

I hope that helps and good luck!
[LG Optimus G Pro] Timisone:
He said to use 2 int recovery thats different from twrp. Think theres a thread in one of the lg threads on how to do that.
[LG Optimus G Pro] scott0:
thanks, was looking for systemui.apk

i know what he said. i tried it with twrp. no biggie.
[LG Optimus G Pro] CapnPez:
You're welcome :). Apparently, they've gone and given it their own naming scheme.

If you look in the zip, it looks like it's simply swapping out the status_bar.xml within the res/layout/ of LGSystemUI.apk. It's been a while since I've done any xml edits for system apps, but you might be able to simply insert that modified xml into the existing apk. Might also be wise to save a backup of the original.
[LG Optimus G Pro] scott0:
:good:

yeah, i hear ya, i took a peek in there, was hoping it was the entire apk, i'm gonna pass on this mod, the att label isn't that big of a deal.

i tried using twrp manager

[LG Optimus G Pro] scott0:
thanks, that's the one i used as well, i flashed it and then downloaded the twrp manager app from the play store to access it. the problem seems to be with this, when i go to flash the zip, the app tries to flash but it then goes back to the main twrp interface, it hangs there for several minutes, the screen goes dark, i hit the power button and the screen comes on but stuck on the twrp lock screen and the swiper does not work. i have to do a long press on the power button to get the phone to restart.

i'll either have to ask about this in the twrp thread, drop the attempt all-together, or use the lg tool to reflash the stock rom and start over.

Doesn't work

Sadly, this doesn't work anymore. I'm not sure what changed but I tried using this with TWRP and FreeGee and it will put your phone stuck at the "LG" logo. Flashed back using LG Flash Tool. I know on the recent versions of FreeGee, it requires Busy Box to be installed. Also there may have been an update to TWRP that might have broken this. Not 100% sure.

[LG Optimus G Pro] pallcsa:
Flash this .zip I attached and you will have no carrier label. It contains my HK 4.4.2 build prop. I tried it on AT&T rom and it works. :good:
[LG Optimus G Pro] Rob S.:
In build.prop, scroll down to:

ADDITIONAL_BUILD_PROPERTIES

On the line below, change:

ro.build.target_operator=ATT

To:

ro.build.target_operator=OPEN

Save changes, make sure permissions are set to rw-r--r-- and reboot.

This will remove the AT&T carrier label, and changes the AT&T 4G LTE icon to the default 4G icon as well.
[LG Optimus G Pro] cynosure4sure:
Thank you......I edited the Build Prop and it works perfectly on F240K
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
I tried this and it worked, but it also broke my Wi-Fi Hotspot (AKA Wifi Tethering). Whenever I try to enable it, it just hangs on "Turning on." I can't get it to stop unless I reboot my phone!

As soon as I reverted back to ro.build.target_operator=ATT, the tethering worked again.

NOTE:

I had to modify some files to get tethering to work in the first place since ATT wants me to pay for some other data plan in order to use it. I had to use SQLite Editor and go to

Settings Storage (com.android.providers.settings) > settings.db > system > tether_entitlement_check_state and change '5' to '0'

Is there anything else I need to do to remove the carrier label AND be able to use Wifi Tethering?
[LG Optimus G Pro] quailallstar:
Same here! I changed my build prop to TLS and CA as the country and wifi tethering broke. Had to revert back to ATT for now until someone can figure this one out.
[LG Optimus G Pro] MoeWinMoe:
It also broke my Bluetooth phone audio, after changing to anything other than ATT, I have media audio only.
[LG Optimus G Pro] dginsd:
For someone that knows what they're doing inside /system/priv-apps/LGSystemUI.apk/res/layout/ there's a file called carrier_label.xml for someone that can take apart an apk and put it back together I'm sure this file can be modified or removed and probably get rid of the carrier label. Personally I'm not skilled enough to do this but maybe someone who is can use this information I know this is how the first removal of the carrier label was done in the jelly bean version.
[LG Optimus G Pro] quailallstar:
I second that.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ixijimixi:

Ah well, that's what backups are for :D
[LG Optimus G Pro] dginsd:
I should also mention there's an odex file that goes with that LGSystemUI.apk

that will have to be rolled back into the apk before editing things.
[LG Optimus G Pro] quailallstar:
Mods delete.
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
Just an FYI to all:

There is an app in the Play store called G2 Tweaksbox. If you download it and do the in-app donation ($1 even), it will unlock all options in the app. About 95% of the stuff this app does will work on the OGP, even though the app was designed for the G2 (this is most likely because LG used the same Kitkat firmware between their phones, but just turns options on and off). One of the options that is unlocked is to ability to hide the carrier label.

The attached picture is of my status bar.

I am not trying to promote this app necessarily (and I'm not being paid to either... sadly), but just trying to inform everyone that there IS an option if you are willing to spend $1.

If you are, then make sure to reboot after any options you choose. Also apply a few options at a time and then use your phone for a bit (including letting it sleep) to make sure everything is working fine. Then add some more options and repeat. I'm just saying this because my phone kept having trouble with waking the screen (it would sometimes take several presses of the power button to get the screen on). Turns of some of the options I choose in the Lockscreen Tweaks had caused this.
[LG Optimus G Pro] dginsd:
Just to confirm the above mentioned app is a dollar well spent of you want to get rid of that carrier tag. A lot of other stuff that's free with xblast or gravity box but none of those can get rid of the carrier label
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
I came back to add more to my last post. After using the G2 Tweaksbox for a while, I think it could be contributing to excessive wakelocks for some reason. My phone never enters deep sleep unless I disable G2 Tweaksbox...

I can't seem to figure it out, but I now feel bad for recommending it.

---------- Post added at 03:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 AM ----------

Is your phone sleeping properly and if so, can you PM me about what settings you are using in the app? I've been trying to figure out why my phone is not sleeping and draining battery real fast and need to rule out any potential causes, including G2 Tweaksbox settings that may be causing problems.

All I know is that the phone SEEMS to actually sleep with G2 TB disabled completely.
[LG Optimus G Pro] dginsd:
I'll try to get back to you tonight but so far seems to sleep okay. Hard to get a read though cause I listen to the radio all day
