[Asus Transformer TF700] thintin:
Flashed first blob but unlock token doesn't do anything

Hi.

I'm restoring my TF201 to its original condition sing the files I saved from nvflash in 2012 when I first bought the tablet.

I've connected in APX mode and flashed the blob.bin, then the tablet rebooted. I went back into APX mode and entered 'nvflash -r --download 7 unlock-token.img' and I get the following:-

NvFlash v1.13.87205 started

[resume mode]

Then it just stays like that!

I've tried to find different versions of nvflash becasue some people report that it helps, but no luck (really hard to find newest Win 7 version for TF201).

I've tried running as administrator: same output.

I'm using Win 7 64bit.

Help?

The tablet should not reboot after you run the blob.bin ?

What is the output of the command .....

wheelie --blob blob.bin

Thx Josh

Hi Josh.

Firstly, thanks for your help with this. I've tried again and got another problem now.

I've just connected the TF201 in APX mode (universal naked driver) and entered

wheelie --blob blob.bin

the output is:-

C:\flashing\nvflash>wheelie --blob blob.bin
Wheelie 0.1 - Preflight for nvflash.

The TF201 then reboots and on its screen it says:-

NvFlash recovery mode / NvSp Server

Chip UiD: (random string here)

!!!!!device update success!!!!!

Then I entered:

nvflash -r --download 7 unlock-token.img

that worked, so did:-

nvflash -r --download 14 factory-config.img

nvflash -r --rawdevicewrite 0 2944 bricksafe.img

but then when I entered:-

nvflash -r --go

nothing happened.

Following the OP I tried to enter fastboot mode but it doesn't seem to be working. When I hold volume down and power I get:-

OS will boot in 10 secs if the selected mode is not confirmed.

press <vol_down> to change mode,

press<vol_up> to confirm mode.

Platform Pre OS Boot configuration...

No matter which option I select I get:-

Cold-booting Linux

but nothing else happens. When I ask fastboot for devices it doesn't give any output.

The tablet reboots after you run this command ?

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] thintin:
I'm assuming it was a reboot, the TF201 screen goes black and then it says:-

NvFlash recovery mode / NvSp Server

Chip UiD: (random string here)

!!!!!device update success!!!!!

but then all of the other nvflash commands worked so I'm guessing it was right?

I've just worked out that the screen with the three icons (wipe data, usb and android) is where you start fastboot (usb icon). the TF201 is now showing up in device manager as 'Asus Android Bootloader Interface', but every fastboot command returns 'access is denied' as the output...

[Asus Transformer TF700] thintin:
Okay. After many hours of googling and experimenting I'm almost there.

I had to unpack the blob file that I got from ASUS and write the individual partitions using nvflash. They're all done apart from the system image file blob.APP. This file starts copying but then the connection drops before it's finished writing. I've tried several times and each time it copies less before it disconnects. I think the battery on the TF201 may be flat so I've plugged it in and I'll wait 30 mins and try again.

Hi

has anyone noticed there is a new wm5 compatible backup manager version

works great
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Yes, I have been using it for about a week and did not find any use for it until I started trying out softwares. All I can say is it worked BUT VERY MUCH DISAPPOINTED WITH IT. Why? After performing a hard reset and restoring from backup, I noticed that it created a few double icons for some of my programs, not a big deal probably for some, but not for me. A backup should restore only what it made a backup of, and not create anything extra. So if you are a nut like myself, save your money and stay away from it. It is a waste of money. :( :( :( :( :( :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] feferosenbaum:
Okay,but do you have an alternative backup WM5 soft ? I prefer double icon than no icon at all...........
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] qyach:
You can remove the icons by using file explorer :)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Conchas:
Yes there is an alternative since a few weeks.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Mikey Mike:
Hi Conchas

i had a problem with Sprite. I downloaded the Beta version and did some back ups but then the software expired and there was no way to restore from the backup (you don't seem to be able to reload the software and after a hard reset it gave me an "older" version message!). Until they release the full version i wouldn't rely on the backups from the beta version :(

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] filking:
Last night I got the notification for 4.4 update. I'm on a rooted stock device, Build JSS15R Kernel 3.4.0-ge52a21

I hit ok to reboot and install. It booted and I saw the green android. I then left the room (mistake), and when I came back it was on the main screen.

I checked and I was on 4.3 still. Is there anyway to check to see why it failed? Any log files? Will I get the OTA again?

I don't really want to sideload but if last resort I will.

Any ideas?:confused:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] nijom:
Check the cache folder whether the downloaded files are there,,

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

Also it's not safe to do an OTA on a rooted device...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] L3van:
this is exactly happened to me too,

so if my device rooted, i have to do safeload instead of OTA ?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] filking:
That's stange, as every previous update i've had on both my Nexus 7's have been done on a rooted device.

Obviously you lose the root by doing the update, but just re-root afterwards.

In the cache folder there is a .zip file called. 'Longrandonstringofchars'+.signed-razor-KRT16S-from-JSS15R.7d9b309e.zip

???:confused:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
Somewhere in /cache there is a recovery.log file

If you are not on the latest version you'll get the OTA again eventually.

Sideloading is really the same type of install as OTA. The difference mainly being whether it is automatically downloaded or you download by hand and send over a USB connection. The actually install file is the same in either case.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] filking:
Thanks... I knew it was the same but I had a problem doing the same with an old nexus 2012 and the cable 'slipped' and bricked it.

So, to save risks, i'll wait for the OTA.... Not in a hurry, just curious why it didn't install 1st time.

I'll look at the recovery.log file and see what I find.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
The downloaded file is fine.

Your /system/bin/debuggerd is modified.

You most likely are rooted and using stickmount.

You can grab the appropriate debuggerd from this thread in the download section:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2534698

look for update-KRT16S-debuggerd.zip

You can run it in TWRP or unzip and place debuggerd in /system/bin
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] filking:
Cheers for that.

I've now copied the downloaded 'buggerd' file (appropriate name btw) over and put the OTA .zip file back into cache.

Is there anyway I can execute that now, or do I have to wait for a new download.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
I assume you are unlocked?

Download latest twrp 2.6.3.1, unzip, rename as twrp.img, place in platform-tools

Boot into boot loader

In command prompt in your platform-tools directory type

fast boot boot twrp.img

Choose install and select the ota update.zip in the file browser

Or you can skip all that and wait for it to naturally happen.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] filking:
Question for you. Downloaded the TWRP 2.6.3.1 which arrived as openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-flo.img

You then say unzip. Confused at that point. Using all zip programs says no files. Was that put in to test me? ;)

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
So you've fixed one problem file (debuggerd) only to notice another file has been modified core.odex.

At this point I would suggest you just flash the factory image. We can go on replacing files one by one, but chances are you modified more than one file either directly or indirectly by flashing something on top for some tweak.

There are instructions and download link for the KRT16S factory image here (choose the nowipe option to keep your data):

In the future, instead of deleting system apps, it is better to freeze the system apps if you want to receive future OTAs.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] filking:
Thanks for reply. It's totally weird tho, as the only thing I've done is use the nexus root toolkit to unlock and root my device.

Apart from that, only added a few other apps like stickmount that may affect things.

The 4.3 update went fine. So it doesn't make sense, but I will now follow the instructions to do it manually.

Cheers for the help.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
Well stickmount is the most common cause for debuggerd failing.

It isn't root the messes up most installs, rather what people installed using root or using custom recovery. It isn't always abvious system files are being changed when the tweak is "add xyz to the power menu" or "add battery % to the status bar"
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] filking:
I 100% percent agree with you. I'm a 'jump in' and sort it out later person usually..

Shame a few recent 'apps' i've installed may have 'upset' my system files. That will teach me tho.

But with the 'bad' design of the N7 with no external usb, stickmount is quoted as the best way.

Still, when it's bricked i'll cry.......

Till then, cheers again.

Alright thanks for the tip!...

...So now I've tried updating manually and frustratingly enough... The exact same error pops up, even though I've factory reseted/wiped it multiple times now with no luck. I also used SuperSU's permament root option to fully recover stock, just in case it might help.

I've been trying update using the adb sideload command, it loads it 100% in, starts verifying the update file and then boom, "/system/app/Chrome.apk" has unexpected contents. So the question is...

How the heck does it still have something unexpected even after I've reseted everything multiple times!?! I've never even used the damn Chrome on my Nexus!

Any help greeeeaaatly appreciated!

Are you actually following the directions in this specific post?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47640458#post47640458

The post referenced doesn't talk about sideloading. It talks about flashing the factory image using the nowipe option to keep your data.

The reason the OTA/sideload is failing is because you have modified system files. Either through something you flashed, some tweak you added, or some filesystem corruption. Easiest way around that is to blast the factory image on top of it.

The reason your factory resets don't allow you to continue further than before is factory reset will not reset any system files that have been changed. It only resets your user data.

If it's downgrade, you cannot.

To go back to stock make sure you have the correct USB drivers installed and KIES should work for you. Or alternatively grab your stock ROM from sammobile and flash it via ODIN.

Just seen you had installed the drivers, Check you have the right version of KIES installed, as there are two options from samsungs site. Or just try ODIN
