[Asus Transformer TF700] Jkeeper18:
Hello,

So I'm trying to unlock and root my tf700t now that my warranty is expired and hope for an ASUS update is diminishing. I downloaded the unlock app from the website and went through the procedure. It took a few weeks and several emails with ASUS support but I think it is unlocked. The reason I say I think its unlocked is whenever I reboot the device, I don't get the message that says its unlocked. The unlock app however says the device is unlocked. So is my device unlocked?

I operated under the assumption that it was and tried to install the twrp recovery using the minimal adb and fastboot exe file. My tablet is recognized by my PC and I put the tablet in fastboot. The error I get when I do that is a writing error. It says writing recovery.... FAILED <remote: <INVALID STATE>>. Does this mean that I am not unlocked or did I do something incorrectly? Any help would be appreciated. I've been working on this for a few weeks and really want to get it moving.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Never heard that before..... If your bootlaoder is unlocked it should say so when you boot up.

Did you run the tool again?

If in doubt call Asus support and check if they have it as unlocked in their database.

But my guess is, since the recovery flash did not take, it's not.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jkeeper18:
They contacted me today and told me that it is unlocked. Everytime I run the tool, It says the device is unlocked. When I do the power + Vol down, I get the three icons ( RCK, Wipe data, and an android). Ill try applying the recovery again later tonight.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Sounds like you are all set. You run fast boot from a pc when connected over USB and on that screen with 3 icons ;) If it fails you have a driver issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jkeeper18:
I attached a picture of the message I get from the minimal ADB tool. I'm also using the universal Drivers ( the ASUS Fastboot Interface). I tried the ASUS Android Bootloader Interface as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I suspect your bootloader ist not unlocked.

Post a screen shot of when you issue the command 'fastboot devices' please.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jkeeper18:
It says waiting for device. It stayed that way until i manually put it into fastboot. I've attached a screen shot of what it looks like when i did that. If my tablet isnt unlocked, how would I get it unlocked then? The unlock app ( both version) says the device is unlocked.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hyderabadi:
I am in the same boat - they think it is unlocked but it is not

The Asus v7 and v8 bootloaders both say "device is unlocked" but the fastbook info shows that it is not. I do not see any unlock inormation after the boot process starts. Also , the unlocker did not automatically restart my tablet. It also asked for my google credentials the first 5 times until the unlock said it worked. Now it does not ask that, it just says that it is unlocked. When I try to fastboot install the TWRP rom, it fails.

(remote - invalid state)

I called Asus and they have my tabler listed as unlocked. They are opening a case so that I can prove that it is unlocked.Then hopfully if they reset that setting, I can re-unlock it...

I was following this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2571542

Is there any work around? Please help!

I want TWRP and CM 10.2 on this slow TF700T tablet.

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Well you typed fastboot device not fastboot devices.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Did you 2-step verification enabled for Google by any chance?

I think Asus need to update their database so you get another chance ... Good luck
[Asus Transformer TF700] hyderabadi:
No, I did not have two-step verification. I hope Asus creates a case and actually looks into it and resets my device's status in their system. It sounds like that is my only option -- a very lengthy and painful one.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jkeeper18:
I disabled 2 step authentication since it interfered with the app. I would get invalid password errors until I disabled it and then the app worked.

I attached a picture of what happens when I type the command fastboot devices. It looks like my device is not unlocked and Im going to have to contact ASUS. Are there any other tools that would unlock the device?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Are you sure your device gets recognized at all by your computer?

Usually the dialog just stays on "waiting for device" if the computer detects anything attached.

You have the necessary drivers installed?

Check in Device Manager (if you are running Windows) if there is a yellow triangle next to the entry for your tablet.

There is no other way to unlock. The bootloader is encrypted and only Asus has the key.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jkeeper18:
The device is recognized by the computer. It says waiting for device when i type in "fastboot device" instead of "fastboot devices". Theres no yellow triangle either. I've sent an email to ASUS and I'm waiting on their reply.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Fastboot device doesn't do anything.

I think you just need the right drivers. Let me see if I can dig them up from my collection. No point contacting Asus, they won't help you.

Try these, you need to unzip to same folder as fastboot and update device manager when in fastboot.

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291675384
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jkeeper18:
Sorry Im still new at this. Where is the fastboot folder?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Where ever you are running fast boot from. ;)

You must open a cmd window in the same directory or change to it using the CD command.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jkeeper18:
So I've been trying for the past couple of days to get root and flash a new rom but it doesnt seem to be working. I've contacted ASUS and they said my tablet is unlocked as of December 16th but they will contact Taiwan to see if something is wrong. Do i have any options if they say the same thing? Thanks again for all your help. I appreciate it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I have followed the TF700 forums for the last year pretty extensively and until about 2 weeks ago never read about anyone having this problem: Asus database having you unlocked, but it actually isn't. Since then I think I've read about 4 cases.

My best guess: It's a problem with the v8 Unlock app or the way their servers store/process the information they get from the Unlock Tool.

That you got to a support person willing to contact Taiwan is a big plus already. Other users just ran into a wall of: We do not support unlocking this device.

So stick with the person you contacted already. Take pictures of your boot process (to document that it does NOT say: This device is unlocked) and they always seem to ask for a screen shot of your About Tablet page with your SN number and MAC address.

Persistence seems to be the key. And luck to get someone at Asus willing to help....

There is no other way to unlock the bootloader. So you would be limited to rooting the tablet which would give you more freedom to tweak it and uninstall bloatware, but you still would have to deal with the slow stock rom.... :fingerscrossed:

Ok so I wiped both dalvik and normal cache and tried to install over my toxic sickness. When I did it did boot to the normal screen where it optimizes the apps then it got got stuck in a boot loop with sick made development animation. So after battery pull and a reboot back to recovery I reinstalled toxic sickness only to find that your accuweather widget did take affect but that is all. Any idea what's wrong I am using wicked v4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] USMC retired:
The developement animation and the theme are colliding would be my answer. My guess is that you will have to choose one or the other, either run the ROM you have without a theme, or switch to a stock rooted ROM of some sort so there is no interference from the rom with the animations in it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
If the phone isn't rooted there is no way to remove it.

SU installs as a system app. So if you somehow disabled root access while still having the SU app installed, you can't get rid of it without re-rooting to give yourself the access to delete a system file.

The other option is to do a full flash back to full stock in Odin, which will wipe out SU and everything else on teh device.

Hey everyone,

A few days ago I had to restore my phone and I wanted to get my original SMS notifications settings back but I couldn't figure out how to...

I want:

-stock SMS notification on notification bar

-custom vibration pattern

-reminders with custom vibration pattern and custom time interval/number of reminders

-no 3rd party notification on notification bar

I was using handcent and stock, and it was working fine.

Now, I either have no vibration/notification from handcent, or vibrate with the notification in the notification bar...really annoying....

I tried using some apps like SMS alert, SMS notifier, and they couldn't serve the above.

Thanks in advance.

I bought the unlocked Samsung Galaxy SIII from Newegg.com. One day (of course just after the one year mark) while the phone was just sitting there, it decided to shutdown. Then I am not able to start it ever again. Here below are things I've tried and I still cannot power it on.

1. Plugged the phone to my computer using USB and then tried to start by pressing power. Nothing happens.

2. Plugged the phone to wall charger and then tried to start by pressing power. Nothing happens.

3. While leaving the phone plugged into my computer, removed the battery and then tried the power button. Nothing happens.

4. While leaving the phone plugged into wall charger, removed the battery and then tried the power button. Nothing happens.

5. Tried the reset routine of holding volume up, power, and home buttons at the same time for 90 seconds. Nothing happens.

6. Tried to start download mode by holding volume down, power and home button at the same time for 90 seconds. Nothing happens.

I've also sent the phone to a local mobile phone repair shop, and they couldn't get it started at all. The shop owner told me to contact Samsung directly, which I did, then Samsung told me this is an Australian version of the phone, so the only way to get it fixed is to contact Australian support. I am in the US, and sending the phone to Australia is not an option for me.

Any help to troubleshoot this phone is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SignetSphere:
Hate to say this but you now have a expensive paperweight there... unless you know someone who can JTAG repair your phone then you can't do anything else. You can also try handing it again to a Samsung repair center and have it replace it's motherboard for a fee. I just don't know if they will replace it for sure since you said that it's an australian model.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LannyLin:
Did some more research. You are probably right that I got the SDS. And it's too bad that the phone is already dead, so I can't do any patches.

Try using Odin to go back to stock. I recommend GB27. See if the issue still occurs, and be mindful of what apps you install. The issue may be an app that you install instead of the OS itself.
