Thanks for replying.

Yes, I did keep Vol-Down (means Vol-Left) pressed while pinching the reset button. It did not help.

I will experiment a bit more. It's not really a boot "loop" - it gets stuck at the ASUS logo and this does not change anymore. Not overnight.

So far I could only see it being recognized as USB device in APX mode. Can you give me a bit background here? I have nvflash here. The blobs are not available anywhere on the net? Or why is that all a big fuzz? I used to have a Notion Ink Adam and APX saved my life several times, but the blobs were available to everybody. Nobody has the blobs here? Or are they device-specific?

I cannot believe that a today's device with a non-bricked bootloader and working APX is totally lost and even the manufacturer will only offer a costly RMA to replace the whole mainboard!?

Best regards,

q2.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
For the TF700 the nvflash blobs are device specific - sorry.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Quentin2:
Damn. That was the only answer I didn't want to read :D

Thanks a lot. So chances are gone, only RMA could help... I will ask friendly at Asus what costs they will charge...

[Asus Transformer TF700] Quentin2:
Update:

Reply is here.

They only want to exchange mainboard. They of course know (and it seems that this is the only thing they know) that my bootloader was unlocked, therefore this is no case of guarantee for them. I know, I wrote to them that I just want to know how much they wanna charge me to fix this issue.

But: they don't want to tell me how much. They say they do not even know which revision and what hardware is inside my tablet, not even from my serial number. And I must first send them my tablet and they will charge me 95 Euro to check what's going on. And then they will tell me how much it will cost (and according to other threads I saw prices of over 400 Euro for a mainboard change - the TF701 successor model cost 450 Euro new in store)...

I somehow feel the need to reply that if they would've put only half the energy the put into logging who has unlocked the bootloader into the fact of making APX usable as a emergency recovery (as obviously not even Asus is able to generate a working blob for my device), they would have higher customer satisfactory statistics. I still just cannot believe a today's device lacks of all recovery options after a bootloader fails for some reason - as well as I cannot understand why Koush did not display a warning in ROM manager if problems are known to the community with this specific device (I mean the problem did not arise last week and ROM manager had tenths of updates since then).

I know that in the end all was my fault. And all flashing is done on our own risk. I will have to deal with it.

Phew...
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Unlucky. It should be be stickied here somewhere that ROM Manager bricks the TF700 but then there is no guarantee it would be read. It is well known on this forum but that doesn't help people that don't visit frequently.

You can replace the mainboard yourself fairly easily. Watch the you tube vids on how to do it,. That is what I would do if I was in your position.

Any Solution?

Unfortunately I'm stuck in same boat I tried to wipe out settings completely and clockwork mode was stuck and I was able to wipe recovery with TWRP or so I thought tried to reboot into recovery got stalled and now stuck on asus screen. I'm not opposed to buying a new motherboard but I find it very hard to believe that no one has come up with a solution to flashing the mainboard with the original firmware. I'm tempted to ask asus but I know the bill will be more then the tablet. Did you find an easier solution or do I just have to swap out the mainboard?
[Asus Transformer TF700] zeddock:
Thanx, but it seems like to backup blobs I have to do the very thing that will risk me needing backup of my blobs? ... install a custom bootloader before I have a backup?

Is this right?

Is this a safer method?

zeddock
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
That's correct. You have to flash a modified bootloader and recovery. Done correctly this is not risky at all. But if there is a single line in the instructions you are not sure you understand, you are not quite ready.

There are quite a few tutorials on flashing in fastboot on this forum. Read them.

But generating your nvflash blobs you have to do without a safety net. It's worth it though! I have become much more adventurous with my tablet since I have the blobs squared away...
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
How do you define risk?

Flashing a bootloader (without having nvflash access) is always risky by my definition, it *can* permabrick your tablet if something goes wrong at the wrong moment. But it's the best we have.

Hello,

i'd like to remap touch buttons on my Desire Z. I'm using SENSEI ROM (dont know if it's related).

Where is the keymap file located? Is it possible to bind on long press? I'd like to have it this way:

Home: open all apps

Search: app switcher

TP press: go home

And 1 more thing: on locked screen it is possible to change ringtone volume. It'd be great to disable this. Is it possible?

Thank you very much.

I seem to have a recurring problem with my hotmail account.

Fairly frequently I get the message "Downloading a message failed. If you are reading it, please close the message and try again" when I do a Send/Receive. Only way to get rid of this error seems to be to Switch Accounts and essentially setup Hotmail again and download all of my messages from scratch. Sometimes works for a while but then eventually get this error or sometimes seems to do it immediately. Seems more common after I delete a bunch of messages. Makes Hotmail pretty useless. Have no problems with my own POP email account.

Any ideas?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vPro97:
Hi guys.

I've been quite bothered by the fact that 4gb ram phones coming up, so I decided that I would do a test on how my LG phone handles the ram. I hope some experienced android users can clarify this for me because the only other android device I've had is a android tablet which I've played quite a bit with on my own.

I thought I wanted to do a stress test to see of the device would lag after having used all available ram. Problem is just I wasn't able to use all ram even with over a dozen open apps and so on. While I now have clarified that more than 2gb of ram really isn't needed ATM I would really love an explanation of why I wasn't able to get below 400 Mb free ram. When using the device normally I occasionally see only 300 Mb of free ram. Anyway the device was still working smoothly without lags and stutter :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bachera:
just the way android ram works really. Its different then windows, where no free ram means performance issues. Like no free disk space on Iphones.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Did you receive and install the Stock OTA update to 4.3 ? The process to resolve your issue depends on that answer.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xTheOne23:
yes I was on stock and everything was normal when I updated and installed to stock 4.3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
In that case, first make sure you have the latest version of the custom recovery of your choice. If its not then update it and try. If it is latest then read on.

Best if you take the rom zip and open it on pc with winzip or similar. Then go to

/Meta-Inf/com/google/android/ folder. There you will see a file called updater script. Open it with Wordpad and NOT NOTEPAD! Inside first few lines, you will see something like

assert(getprop("ro.bootloader") == "T999UVDLJA" ||
getprop("ro.bootloader") == "T999UVDLJC" ||
getprop("ro.bootloader") == "T999UVDMD5" ||
getprop("ro.bootloader") == "T999VVLDLL1" ||
getprop("ro.bootloader") == "T999LUVAMB7" ||
getprop("ro.bootloader") == "T999VVLDMF2");
show_progress(0.500000, 0);

There, delete the part before

show_progress(0.500000, 0);

Close the file and save it back to the zip. Put the zip on your External sd card and flash via recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xTheOne23:
What do you mean by version of custom recoery? Sorry, I'm a noob. And when you say delete the part before, 'show_progress((0.500000, 0);, do i delete everything before it lesving only that ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Yes you delete all the Assert statement before that. But before you do that, please check the Version of your Custom Recovery.

When you boot to Custom Recovery, CWM or TWRP, you will see its version at the top.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xTheOne23:
My CWM version is 6.0.4.5.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yellowfddriver:
I was wondering if anybody had noticed this.

When I change lock screen security from swipe to say "lock pattern", it does nothing.

It'll disable other lock widgets, because I guess in 4.3 or touchwiz you can't have widgets and lock patterns (but I digress).

The lock screen unlock will still be a swipe, no pattern.

Anybody else experience this?

Any work arounds?

Thanks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FourPointedFreak:
I assume you changed the timeout for the lock engage?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aquaholik:
That baffles me until I noticed I did not change the timeout for the Secured lock time to instant. Then I said to myself, this can be useful. Set Secured lock time out to 1 hour and use the password lock option. If I lost or displaced my phone, it will be password locked in 1 hour but if I use my phone constantly every 5-10 minutes, I still have the benefit of the easy to use slide to lock knowing that it is backed up with a password lock after 1 hours of no activity.

Then I try to repeat this on my old Sprint Note 2, Sprint Note 3, Samsung Note 10.1 2014 and I can't do it. Instead of a slide to unlock within the specified Secured lock time, I am greeted with a totally unlock screen. Which is really bad for butt dialing and accidental touch screen use since the screen is not protected by slide to unlock while it is in your pocket.

It seems this is a unique feature to AT&T note 3.

Hello all.

Just got a class 10 MicroSD XC 64GB fot my Xperia Z C6603 and saw many post about exFAT not supported. Luckily, mine works with no fuss at all. So I'll post it for reference as I didn't see anyone mention this.

- First of all, I format the card with SD Formatter 4.0 from SD Association itself. Set it to exFAT. Should be done quick.

- Then I replace my old 8GB with this 64 GB(59 GB actually...) and start with SETTINGS > STORAGE > TRANSFER DATA TO SD CARD to test if it can write, and yes, it just work.

- Then I set USB Connectivity to MSC mode and plug into my PC. Windows Explorer says it's exFAT. So I put an 12 GB movie file in. It just work. Play in MX Player with no fuss at all.

Wish this useful and happy new year!

[Xperia Z General] Cookie Ninja:
Stock kernel supports exfat filesystem out-of-the-box (on stock unrooted ROMs). Maybe your custom kernel doesn't have exfat support. Go back to stock kernel and you'll find your card is mounted and readable.

Hey all...I am just beginning to play around with Zooper and have a question that for some reason I cant find in threads or on how to video's. I have installed ZWP and downloaded a template.zip that I liked on Colorscreen, anyway I have the zip downloaded into the ZWP / Template folder. So once it is there do I need to "install" the zip file? Because when I open zooper I dont see the template to choose from. So i assume it needs to be unzipped and installed somehow. When I click on it to extract it...for some reason rom manager opens and wants to do a pre-install of the zip. Like it would if you downloaded Gapps or something for a rom. I can figure all this out if I can just understand the install of the template in the first place.

It seems everywhere I look all the info is after the template zip is installed. Hope this all makes a lick of sense.
[Zooper Widget General] kwerdenker:
For some links to tutorials and videos, check my thread over in the general section: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2592419

If you downloaded a zip-file then there are probably multiple skins in there and you need to extract them first. ZArchiver is a good tool for it if you don't have a file manager who supports extracting archives. You should find one ore more zw-files in the zip and those are the ones you need to put into Zooper's template folder.

Its splash resistant , meaning, it won't be as prone to water damage as other mobiles would but don't go dunking it in the bath or anything.
[Moto G General] ATRIXXIRTA:
Even phones that are touted as "IP67" rated for water and dust are not covered by warranty if there is water damage.

The Sony Xperia Z for example is rated for dust and water resistance.

But if water gets inside someone, like you forgot to close a port cover, warranty won't cover it.

And ya, water damage can sometimes take days, weeks, or even months to rear it's ugly head.

Depends what part of the phone came into contact with liquid, what its made of, and more importantly, the TYPE of liquid.

Water in it's purest form is actually a poor conductor of electricity.

It's the impurities in water (like sodium in salt water) that causes shortages and corrosion.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] baldy62:
I'm just wondering why Sprint's ota updates don't require a data wipe, but flashing the stock ROM in a custom recovery needs the wipe? I installed cnexus's rooted stock on my phone and initially tried a dirty flash, but had problems, so I wiped and did a clean install and all is good. My wife's phone is being prompted for the ota and I want to update her but I'd prefer not to have the Knox bootloader. I would simply update her phone as I did mine, but she'll kill me if I wiped her data. So, why can the ota install without the data wipe but the (essentially) same ROM installed manually can't? Anybody know?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
An OTA just adds new file, a rom overwrites the entire system, that's why a full wipe is always recommended. I think there is a thread somewhere here that has flashable OTAs though. It sounds like she is rooted, so why don't you use a backup app like titanium?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] brianando:
Titanium is great and you will never have to worry about losing data. Plus its good to clear out the phone every once and awhile to keep it running fresh.
