[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacob_stallone1:
Yes it will. Flashing a stock ROM will delete everything, phone becomes fresh and new.nothing inside it.

Flash the ROM via Odin 3. I know ur screen is broken but u can still get to download mode,press volume down+power button+home buttons at the same time. And keep pressing them for like 5 to 8 seconds, and then press volume up to proceed. THEN u can flash the firmware through odin 3.

Give a thanks button if i helped please.

Ok, i'll try.

Any idea how to reset binary counter? I can't use Triangle Away because of broken screen.

Samsung G NT7100

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spudthedestroyer:
I am pretty sure I know the answer but want to make sure its true as its a costly issue: I did some searching and found a lot of threads with different options over the last few years, so just want to confirm; I have:

Asus Transformer Prime TF201, unlocked with latest ICS official (WW) installed via SD Card

I was intending on giving the tablet away to a family member, so decided to factory reset the device. I went to the PWR+VOL Down menu, and selected wipe which I read was the way to perform a factor reset. After a long time of this process, the tablet powered off (was plugged into mains with full batteries). I powered on by pressing PWR button some time later. Now the tablet just boots onto the screen that states "The device is UnLocked" in the top left, ASUS in the middle (and some lies about perfection), and the bottom right "Powered by Nvidia TEGRA".

If I power on:

1. PWR + VOL Down, nothing happens, it boots to the same screen, no menu

2. PWS + VOL UP, the screen is black, the tablet vibrates and if i have it plugged into a PC it detects it in APX mode.

I've tried a full power cycle, and read about the nvflash tool. I unfortunately have no nvflash backups, I'm not sure that tool was around when I unlocked the tablet, and as i'd not been flashing any custom roms (although I had intended) I'd not seen that tool before.

As I understand the state of affairs is:

1. Somehow the bootloader is jiggered, i guess the wipe didn't work right

2. APX is useless if you don't have some backups created with a tool

3. The only current solution is to send it to ASUS and pay almost exactly the same price as a new tablet costs

Is there any other options I can do with an unlocked tablet and only access to APX?

Any likelihood that there is anything that can be done with nvflash in the future without needing a custom backup that is unique per tablet?

Bricked TF201 - Stuck in bootscreen

I have the exact same problem. :crying:

Please, I know that there are many brilliant minds in this forum, help us n00bs get out of this mess and lead us into the light. Oh, and bump this thread :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spudthedestroyer:
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I hate hit and run thread posters so I will provide an update.

I am afraid that my tablet was bricked. No way back from that state after reading the entire internet. I have purchased a replacement motherboard, popped open the case and replaced this. After replacing the motherboard, I now have a working tablet. I wish someone would have documented the NVFlash process requirements previously, but that's the risk of following guides on android sites I guess.

So to summarise the initial post, if you are in that state, at current and likely forever, you are hardbricked and the tablet can not be recovered in that states without a previous backup. The only way for it to be repaired is to send it to Asus who have a database of firmware, etc. and will charge you for repairs (~200€), or to go on ebay and purchase this motherboard:

0K0AMBA000

This will cost you ~80€ + shipping, and you must be comfortable working with electronics. Its mostly very clear when you pop off the case, everything has its place. You will need some plastic case pries and a small screw driver.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] amow24:
This sucks, I did the same exact thing last night factory resetting it to give it to my brother. I still don't understand what exactly I did wrong as I've factory reset this thing before. I had CM on it before but have been using the stock rooted ROM & recovery for the past 6+ months.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cloverasx:
bricked?

I've been scouring that internet and haven't been able to find a case exactly like mine, but most are similar. From what I can remember (it's been months since I initially 'bricked' it), I was upgrading a cm nightly and did the data/cache/dalvik wipe like the instructions said and I became stuck in a bootloop after leaving recovery. When I tried volume-down and power, I was left with the original 3 options and after some reboots and shutdowns I ended up doing a factory data wipe. From there, when I rebooted the phone I was left with just 'Wipe Data' and 'Fastboot.' Wipe data does nothing more and when I choose fastboot I am left a message 'Starting fastboot usb download protocol' which never changes.

I have tried to push TWRP onto the device but I can't get into recovery (unless I'm doing something wrong of course). Sorry if I missed a duplicate of my post somewhere on here, but if so can someone at least point me in the right direction? Thanks!

try another ROM

This has worked for me everytime, possibly due to dud bootloader install or some other thing: so long as I was able to recover to CWM with pwr+vol down, I installed virtuous prime rom. This rom was on sdcard already, not sure if you can get from adb if machine in this state. Anyhow, this virtuous prime rom replaced the booting sequence, restored OS and machine worked again.

Asus TF201 stuck on Asus Logo

My Asus Tablet was slow while browsing, and it had JB 4.1.1 with stock rom, so i tried to unlock the device, which was successful and was planning to push the CM11 Kit Kat. I booted in to recovery mode as i could see the 4 icons and then tried to do wipe data/factory reset and then it rebooted and got stuck on the asus logo and at the right bottow with the message powered by NVIDIA Tegra. I tried all the options to get into recovery and also downloaded drivers on my laptop for APX, but no luck at all. What are my options or if any one was successful to get it fixed. Appreciate any help here from smart guys out there. Thanks

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] lsufan72:
I am posting this here because I received an error message stating that I could not post in the development section. Kabaldan had posted that a universal build was available now for the Photon Q and wanted feedback from those that tested it. I wanted to respond but since I can't in that thread I will do it here and hope he finds it. Anyway, I have installed the universal build and for the most part it works great. The only two issues I have are the same two issues I have found with the official cm10.1, the nightlies of cm10.2, as well as all the other custom roms that are available here for the photon Q. Those two issues are as follows:

1) I am unable to connect to my cellular companies network. I am connected through Sprint. What I want to connect to is CSpire's network since that is the company I have my cellular service with. I do not know how tomake that happen.

2) I am unable to send or receive picture messages. So I have followed the suggestions from other users and tried Go SMS, Chomp SMS, and Handsent SMS. If I have those installed I can receive picture messages, sometimes. It is not everytime but most of the time. But even with those 3rd party apps I am unable to send pictures. I have actually had one sending for an hour and half this morning. My phone kept saying "sending..." so I finally stopped it.

Now I am not sure if the two are related or not. I have read where others have had success sending and receiving witht he 3rd party apps. So I am thinking it is maybe because I am not connected to my cellular companies network. Of course, as far as I know that may have absolutely nothing to do with it. If anybody knows, I would be grateful for advice on how to fix this. Otherwise I can't get the full benefit from a custom rom. Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
1. Is not an issue with the ROM at all. Make sure it works on stock before going to any aftermarket ROM's.

2. If you don't have service, how can you send or receive MMS? Cart before the horse buddy, get your cell service issue sorted first.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] lsufan72:
Ok, so let me clarify my original post. When I am on the stock ROM I can send and receive MMS. It is when I go to an aftermarket ROM that I am having the issue. I can receive picture messages by using a 3rd party messaging app (such as Handsent) but I cannot send them. I currently do have service. I did not say that I did not have service. I am connected and it says my service provider is Sprint. Sprint is not my cellular company, CSpire is. I can do everything on an aftermarket ROM that I can do on stock ROM except picture messaging. I can surf the web, download apps, watch youtube videos, send and receive email, etc. I was pointing out that my phone states it is connected to Sprint's network and not CSpire's network. I am wondering if there is a difference somehwere that causes picture messaging to not work. That may not have anything to do with it but I am asking so I can rule out all possibilities.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
So on stock ROM it says CSpire correctly?

The phone works fine when it says "Sprint" in the notification pulldown in custom ROM's, just MMS is failing? Sounds like an APN issue... I'm not sure you can configure this from the normal settings, you might need to tweak the build.prop to work for CSpire.

Hopefully someone chimes in who has CSpire... I'd say there is a build.prop change needed, which can be made into a flashable zip which all CSpire users can apply after flashing...
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] lsufan72:
You are correct. On stock ROM it says CSpire. And you are also correct in that the phone works fine when it says "Sprint" in the notification pulldown in custom ROM's. And yes it seems at this point that only MMS is failing.

And since I will more than likely screw my phone up if I try to tweak it, I will wait and see if someone who knows what they are doing with CSpire (or knowledge of it) chimes in and offers a solution. Thank you for offering your assistance.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
The current worldphone CM 10.2 xt897 build is made for Sprint CDMA/universal SIM modded GSM-UMTS usage.

The C-Spire variant would need at least a few changes to build.prop and different eri.xml overlay.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I'm not positive what these would be. I would also love to see them wrapped up into a flashable ZIP so we don't have to make separate ROM's just for CSpire users.

Shouldn't be too difficult, I just need to know what is different :)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] lsufan72:
I assumed that the build came from the original Sprint version and modded to work (or whatever the process was). That must be the same reason the other custom ROM's have the same issue. I appreciate your explanation. Now I know a little more than I already did. Just wish I had the tech know how to help you guys out.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] lsufan72:
I have no idea how to help but I would be glad to if I can. I will say this.... it might be more trouble than it is worth. CSpire is a very small local company and even though they are still selling the Photon Q online, not many of the stores have them in stock. I only know of one other person who has the phone. So there may not really be that big of a demand for this fix other than me. Everything else works great with these ROM's so I can just use alternative methods for sending pics for now. Thanks again.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
lsufan72: To fully support CSpire Photon Q in the new unified CM11 builds should be fairly simple now, but I need to see the content of /proc/cmdline from CSpire Photon Q.

Please post it in this thread if you can: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2656570

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frennesson:
Today I bring to you a solution to the Dead Trigger 2 keyboard input crash!

I had this problem myself, after searching hours upon hours and finding nothing I thought to myself... Maybe.. just maybe is it ecause of my custom rom? Technically it was. See, if you go to your phone right now and look at the "about my phone" or whatever it's called. It will probably say that your android version is lower than 4.3. So for example 4.2.2. I had a custom rom which gave me JB 4.2.2. I decided to flash a new rom called Echoe Rom v6, this rom has JB 4.3 (newest) and by using JB 4.3 you will be able to lay Dead Trigger 2 without crashing upon keyboard input.

If this helped you please consider saying so in a post down below! Feedback would be nice :) Also if you decide to flash/reflash do at your own risk! :D

Hope this works! <3​
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farhad_persona:
Hello to all:

I have two issues with Polaris Office 5 on my note 3:

1-When I put the phone in horizontal position, Polaris Office does no fill the whole screen. That was the case with Polaris Office version 3. When I put the phone in horizontal position, the text would fill the whole screen and there was no bar at the top. This is annoying in phones, because the screen is already small and the bar at the top is really unnecessary.

2-Whenever I open a Txt file to read, the keyboard comes up. It annoys me because I don't need the keyboard and I don't want to edit anything.

I also have a problem with Polaris Office version 3:

When I open it, this annoying watermark comes up which says:

THIS IS A MODEL WHICH THE LIBRARY DOES NOT SUPPORT.

:

There are only two known workarounds for this issue:

1. You get the lib files from a different source.
2. You trick the lib into thinking you have a different phone model.

You might want to try editing your build.prop file to reflect a different phone model (compatible one) for example.

I never had this issue. Maybe because I'm doing it across related Samsung devices? Or maybe I am running a different version?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friedje:
You installed an old free version polaris 3 that was free for a limited number of phone models, and the note3 is not one of those, simply because it didn't exist.

So you have 2 solutions, root your phone, change the build.prop file info to let polaris think you got a different phone, and live with all the other **** that is going to give you.....

Or just download the polaris 5 , which is free for the note 3.....And live with the bar at the top. and no need to ask other to install polaris 3 from your link they WILL have the same watermark
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farhad_persona:
Thanks man! What did you exactly mean by this part? :

and live with all the other **** that is going to give you.....

What's wrong with solution number 1?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friedje:
The problem is that other apps might also look at the build.prop info to see what phone you are using.

So changing it into something else, will make polaris 3 run without the watermark, but it will probably

screw up other apps
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farhad_persona:
But other than that, there are no problems of downsides right? And I assume I can always change it back right?

112 acil, in the first page, says that when he updated his phone the watermark went way! What's that about?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friedje:
Yes you can always change it back.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farhad_persona:
So, there are no side effects right?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friedje:
No you just need to find the right string to put into the build.prop for a phone that is ok for this version of polaris. But i'am sure you can find it on the web.

Just make sure you root without triggering the knox counter. there is a video in this forum telling howto.

Greetings all,

I'm having the following issue with a Qtek 1020 I just purchased from Microdirect, sold as SIM unlocked. The phone just doesn't find the network when I turn it on with my Pay As You Go T-mobile SIM. No error message pops up, nothing asks me for an unlock code etc, I just get the message 'No Service' under Connectivity when I select the aerial icon at the top of the screen. When I go to Phone Settings I can see listed under 'other networks' O2 and Vodafone, but no T-mobile. I've tried changing GSM bands in the bootloader and listing networks but to no avail (I switched through 900, 1900 and 900/1800). I have also tried the unlocking tools around this site with no success. I know the SIM works as it asks for my PIN when I switch on and I can also browse through contacts stored on it. I'm wondering if anyone here has any ideas as I'm all out.

Information about my Qtek:

Qtek 1020

ROM version: 4.02.04 ENG

ROM date: 8/24/05

Radio version: A.33.02

Protocol version: 1.3.3

Model No: PW10B1

Please don't let me pull any more hair out :x

Thanks and warm regards,

Neil. :)

Same here

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know you're not alone! I too bought the 1020 from Microdirect and have the same problem. I've tried my t-mobile pay as you go SIM in an i-mate pda2k and it worked straight away. That made me think the 1020 was restricted to o2/vodafone. If its an unlocked PDA why do Microdirect say it won't work with Orange? Where I work we successfully unlocked an XDA and used an Orange SIM, but that was a couple of years ago.

I've e-mailed qtek but have had no response yet.

I've tried the xda developers ROM and while it is cool I still get the problem with the t-mobile SIM, although it says No Signal as opposed to No Service. I was going to try the GSM modes on the bootloader but notice you've tried that already so I won't bother.

If I get any further I'll post back asap.

Mark
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] neilius:
Thanks for your reply Mark and now I can rest knowing I'm not the only one having trouble! I too tried the developer's ROM with no luck, although it was nice to play with the extra applications. Funny how Microdirect stated that it was compatable with T-Mobile, when it seems that it is not. I tried my sister's T-Mobile contract SIM and it doesn't work either, but my mum's Vodafone SIM works fine as well as my dad's Pay As You Go Vodafone SIM. It seems like this device is locked out of T-Mobile.

Regards,

Neil.
