[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firtvid20:
I was given my friends tablet to try and fix for him. Basically the recovery (TWRP 2.5.0.0) cannot mount any partitions at all (and asks for a password for some reason - can be bypassed with the cancel button). The tablet will boot straight into the recovery mentioning that no OS is installed. I have attempted to boot into fastboot to flash an older version of the recovery (which I've read up on a few websites that say it will fix the mounting problem) however while pressing VOL DOWN and POWER it will boot up to the ASUS logo and no message appears about fastboot in the top-left. I'm out of ideas now and the only way I'll be able to fix this (from what I know) is either by flashing the ASUS firmware or an older version of TWRP via fastboot. Has anyone got any ideas on how I can fix this? Thanks.

EDIT: May be of reference https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/138

EDIT 2: I have finally solved the problem! I have quoted the important parts below in case anyone else has the same problem.

Basically I had some problems with the drivers the whole time on Windows 8. So what I did was disabled driver signature enforcement in Windows 8 (I think it re-enables after some time). I downloaded the drivers from this post and followed this other post , specifically this part:

Then I booted up the tablet and connected to my computer. The drivers finally worked! I went into command prompt and typed "adb devices" and the device was there! Then I typed "adb reboot bootloader" and I got into the bootloader.

I had to look for the SKU too and since I couldn't find it cause I couldn't boot into Android it was in really small text in the bootloader at the top. Unfortunately after trying to flash the firmware in the bootloader it would not write over the system every time. So I followed this post instead: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49164067&postcount=167

After following the procedure it finally worked! Thanks cmendonc2 and everyone for your help, my friend is happy!

What bootloader is it on? It is on the top left corner of the screen wneh you enter the recovery menu in the bootloader.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firtvid20:
It doesn't say in TWRP recovery. When I boot the device straight up in the top-left corner it saw device is unlocked. However holding VOL DOWN does nothing and the tablet boots straight into TWRP
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
You can still use fastboot in TWRP, but you will need to find the bootloader in order to figure out which recovery to flash over TWRP. There should be a fastboot command to find out.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firtvid20:
Okay that's good to know. I am still unfortunately not able to get into fastboot. So I'll have to figure out what version the bootloader is before flash the firmware over.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firtvid20:
Okay I got access to APX mode (useless from my understanding since my friends has no backups via nvflash), the bootloader while the recovery is loaded (although the driver isn't working for the bootloader), but I CANNOT GET INTO THE BOOTLOADER VIA VOLUME DOWN + POWER. Please help, somebody!

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
Have you tried pressing the reset pin, then going into TWRP and going into ADB mode.

Then type ADB reboot bootloader and then try getting into fastboot by pressing volume down.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firtvid20:
Hmm I'll give that a go. Is ADB already on when I'm in TWRP? Otherwise how do I get into ADB mode?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
Its an option somewhere in TWRP called "ADB sideload".
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firtvid20:
I tried it out but I get the the message "ADB Sideload Complete" and below it a message in red" Failed". I have it plugged into the computer and I didn't hear a connection sound.

I have also looked in Device Manager and there is the Transformer with no driver loaded with it. Further searching using the device information gave me this link: http://binarydb.com/driver/ASUS-Android-Bootloader-Interface-208738.html

EDIT: Found a driver on softpedia and installed it: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/Ot...iver-4004-for-Vista-Windows-7-Windows-8.shtml Doesn't look like it's working though.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
While the ADB is attempting to connect, reinstall the naked drivers. If you are on Windows 8, use test mode.

Hi cmendonc. I have already disabled driver signature enforcement. I have installed the drivers however I don't think I've had luck with them unfortunately.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
Hmm. Try using a different USB cable ( if u have it) or a different USB port.

I vaguely remember someone posting that he succeeded to use adb/fastboot by installing a VirtualBox with Linux. You might have to search for the details.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firtvid20:
Just an update. I got it working!! I did the following on this post to the universal drivers and then tried installing them on Windows 8. After booting my tablet to TWRP and plugging it in to my computer ADB works! I can reboot into fastboot now. :D Now I either have the option of flashing a JB compatible recovery or flashing the Asus firmware...
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firtvid20:
Since I'm not able to boot into Android would anyone be able to tell me what is the SKU on the picture below? So I can flash the correct firmware.

EDIT: Found it in the bootloader in small text. -.- It was the "WW" version.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmendonc2:
I would suggest reflashing the stock firmware that is already on the device. Once it is completely factory fresh, you can start over with a new custom ROM.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firtvid20:
Yeah I tried flashing the recovery and it didn't write over the current (broken) one.

How would I go about flashing the firmware through fastboot? I can't seem to find a guide for it.

EDIT: Found one finally: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-restore-asus-transformer-tf300t-back-to-stock/

I tried it and it looked like it worked. I tried rebooting through fastboot but nothing happened. So I rebooted the tablet by holding down the power button. But when I rebooted it just went back into the broken recovery, like nothing really happened..

Small app to utilize the built in lock function in new PPC6700 ROM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is it possible to create a small app that simulates pressing the "device lock" plugin on the today screen every time the phone goes into standby? This would make the new lock feature be 100% useful and also make it fool proof. So every time your phone goes into standby mode (phone screen off, or pressing the off button on top of the phone) this would trigger the today plug in to activate!

What do you all think?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
I've had an idea to write a screenlock myself, but it would work on the same basis.

I want to test something though: I wonder what the time lag is between pressing power on and an app installed in the notification queue being enabled.

My VJLumosII works like this, and takes maybe a second to enable itself. I think that's not a bad time lag. So you could write an app to launch itself on power on, to automatically enable the lock...

If anyone else is interested, please do dive in... fittske - maybe you can change the title of the thread to make it apply to everyone!?

Otherwise, when I get a little more time I'll look into it.

Thanks for the quick response! Sure If any one else has any ideas please do jump in!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jakenuts:
I'm in!

I usually depend on MortSaver for this, but I would love an app that locked/unlocked with a hard-button (as opposed to clicking on Today which is silly). Exempting a blue-tooth voice dial button would also be great. I can build for this platform in .NET, but I sense that the response time wouldn't be as good as a C++ implementation.

Try deleting anything related to NFC from system/app.. Will break NFC though, even if it works.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] peter-k:
I'd try freezing NFC ... if there is a chance getting there.

Then I'd boot into safe mode and see it if that does not call up the message. If this does not help, I'd flash the ROM again (and delete all cache, system part, dalvik etc.)

Don't think deepsleep would do that. Maybe a random reboot overnight and it reset the alarm?

hmm maybe. when you turn the phone on from an extended screen off, does it ever take a full second for your alarm icon to reappear in the status bar? noticed that too and thought it could be related.

I intended to ask a question in the 3.4 variant thread, but this morning its thread closed? Any reason for this?

I was going to ask a slightly off-topic question, I am using the cwm_selinux_6.0.5.4_datamedia recovery and can not see the ext_sd partition with the 'rest' of my free space. I like to do my backups into that space. Is there a way I can manually mount the ext_sd space from inside the recovery so I can backup there? I can see that space form inside of CM, but, can't do a backup that cwm will be able to find.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woodytrain:
Indeed it is strange a thread would be closed without any final posting from the OP or a forum mod, and even more strange since nightlies for the ROM continue to be generated.

Could be the devs wish to focus the user community testing the 3.01 kernel version, so it can becomes stable, before putting resources into supporting 3.4 kernel build?.

Regards to your issue take a look at Milaq's post in his CM11 ROM thread (3.01 kernel)

You might have to mount /data in your recovery and then look for /data/media/0

Hello all,

I need to have instant notification of my emails and thought the only way was Blackberry until I heard of Push Email.

I have a K-Jam with the latest imate os. I've read that this version has push email with it but cant see it in the programs or anything.

What do I need to install etc to recieve emails from my ISP. What backend setup do I need? I have a pop 3 account that is web based too and i am on the O2 network in the UK

Thanks for your help guys.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xanth:
Hi,

Push Email (or "DirectPush" as Microsoft seem to call it) only works in conjuction with an Exchange server I'm afraid. It doesn't work with POP3 boxes.

There are probably some companies offering POP3-->Exchange services for people like yourself wanting push email who don't have Exchange (or there will likely be some) but I don't personally know of any at the moment.

DirectPush works by connecting to an HTTP server (Exchange) and keeping the connection open/idle until something changes then a ActiveSync is performed. The POP3 protocol simply doesn't have anything to allow you to keep it open without sending something constant to keep it alive which would seriously add up on the traffic.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] scaseman:
thanks xanth

I'm actually gonna have an Exchange Server 2003 soon. I read that I need SP2 installed aswell

Where do I go from there then? ie configuring my k-jam.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xanth:
Configuring the mobile devices themselves isn't particularly hard. When you set up the sync instead of syncing with Outlook you specify with an Exchange server and just follow the prompts. It seems to connect/realise DirectPush (SP2) is available and that's it. You configure the schedule... and away it goes.

I found setting up the server was the hardest part. Well not hard, just more time consuming. You'll want/need to create you own SSL certificate (which will need installing on the device) unless you're purchasing a commercial one and configure the IIS timeout value (I'm still experimenting with this one) and then finally actually turn on DirectPush from System Manager. I think that was pretty much it though. Configuring Exchange etc in the first place takes more time than setting up push.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] scaseman:

I am trying out a commercial hosted exchange service (www.utica.nl) now.

This works very wel, but it has a price too: 5.95 euro per month for the lite package/

Push Email works very good.

As an alternative I am thinking about setting up my own exchange server and having my company-email and calendar forwarded to that one.

What do you advise to run exchange 2003 SP2:

- Windows version / SP?

- Hardware

(I am on a 20Mb down / 2Mb up broadband connection wich allows me to run servers, so there is no issue)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] xanth:
Well you'll need Windows 2000 or 2003 standard server or higher (won't run on a non-server platform), but see this link for full requirements:

http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/evaluation/sysreqs/2003.mspx

Router settings

The other thing that is going to make a difference would be the setting on the server. The longer the session can be kept open between the router and the phone the least amount of data that will need to be transfered. For example 15 minutes seems a common amount of time to keep the line openm, at the end of those 15 minutes your phone will initiated a new connection i.e. traffic. Obviously the more often it does this the more traffic generated and the more power needed.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] ag0w:
The reason you want push is to receive an e-mail sent to you IMMEDIATELY The problem I see with push mail is you can't really use forwarding between services because it adds delays that defeat the point of it. It is not essential to have Exchange but most current systems employ it

So you need to implement push using your current e-mail address and provider for best performance

For example if you use a specific e-mail address for all your mail that is what you need to access if you don't want to change your e-mail address

If your e-mail provider uses IMAP there is a solution. It started off fairly shakey but has got quite reliable - it's vgsmail (www.vgsmail.com\ppc)

It uses IMAP idle to connect to your current e-mail (assuming IMAP support) and WORKS

As said using this is the best way of avoiding changing e-mail address and low cost (just data costs) - uses 3or4MB a month just to work - but if you're using your pda for mail you need to be on a good tarriff --- say T-Mobile web'n'walk - soon to become ulimited.

It takes about 10-30 seconds from an e-mail being sent to my PDA notifying me --- all for a one off cost of $21
