[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromegsx:
I knew this day would come, I've traded PC trouble shooting for tablet troubleshooting. My son's tf300 gets to the screen where circles/dots go round and round and never gets any further. I am trying to learn everything I can and try everything I can before doing the wipe and starting over...as he has pictures and videos he'd like to save, and of course the all important saved game/app data...LOL. Anyway I'm new to tablets relatively speaking, but I've tried the volume down, and power button for doing a cold boot, same result. I've tried going to the recovery option just to see what that was about, and all I get is a flash of a screen saying something like updating android version or something like that and then the dead android with the usual red triangle and eventually the device will restart itself. I should that to him and told him he killed the android which gave me a puzzled look and then a smile...Anyway, you can't turn off the device nohow noway, except letting the battery drain completely.

I've been reading a little and learning about roots, backups, recoveries, etc... trying to come up with a plan of attack but feel like I'm spinning my wheels. Any advice here? and Can I access via PC to USB to device and just pull off his pics and videos to copy back over to the device after a wipe?

Problem started...I think when he ran the power dead completely and then had to restart...nor sure though... memories of a child are sketchy at best.

I have a solution, but your not going to like it, all data will be lost....:crying:

1. Download the latest version of Android for your tablet. Make sure you download the correct SKU version.

A. To find the SKU, go into settings, About tablet, and look for your Build Number, There are two letters (such as US,WW, TW, etc.) that is your SKU. When downloading the zip from ASUS', you must download the correct SKU zip.

2. Decompress downloaded .zip file (it will be another .zip)

3. Rename it to:

A. For the TF700 and TF300: EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip

B. For the TF101: E101_SDUPDATE.zip

4. Make sure your MicroSD card is formatted Fat32. It must be Fat32 Format or it will not work.

5. Copy the file to (the root directory of) your MicroSD

6. Insert the MicroSD into the tablet

7. Shutdown (power off) the tablet

8. Power it on by pressing and holding VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons simultaneously

9. When you see white text in the top left corner of the screen, release the buttons ^^ and press VOLUME UP button (on RCK, this is your recovery which should already be selected) until you see Android logo and process bar

10. Give the update process 5-10 minutes. It should not take longer than that. If it happens to run for more than 45 minutes to an hour, force shut down the tablet and see if it boots. If it does not, try rerunning steps 7-9.

Let me know if you need any help along the way.... Thx as always lj
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromegsx:
So the RCK thing doesn't do anything unless you have SD card in to do something that's on the card?

And there's no way to access what's on the device without getting it booted all the way?

Sounds like your saving me and my son from updating from his original Android version after a wipe...Thanks
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lj50036:
SKU

Yes the tablet having a locked bootloader... You can only flash signed zip files...From the SDcard

When your on that screen with the RCK.. NEVER select the WIPE DATA.. Bad things will happen...

Also when your in the RCK screen.. That is called the bootloader screen....So you know if some one refers to it by its name.....

Also that is were you can find your SKU on the bootloader screen upper left in white letters... WW, US, TW ............... Make sure you get the right SKU from asus for your 300....

As far as I know it's related only to custom recovery and if You have stock one it should work. Or I'm wrong?

Yes that is correct. I just like to move people away from even thinking its an option, as I have had people with stock everything and the Wipe Data

Yep when I first got my tablet i was so scared about going into that menu because I learned that it was only 3-4 clicks away from a brick. :D:D:D
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromegsx:
Out of curiousity...Isn't doing these steps more or less just upgrading the firmware? Like getting an update from ASUS? If so, why will it lose all the data?

I haven't mustered up the courage yet to do this yet... actually it's more like getting the time to do it.:(

Same result. Still nothing in Device manager.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Apologies, I'm very rusty with this stuff now. If flashing a .blob file doesn't wipe data (I can't remember whether it does or not), perhaps you could try doing that if you're able to get into recovery?

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromegsx:
I just gave in and did the flash procedure. Looked like it went well, now I'm watching the circles for round again for the last 10 minutes.

Just wanted to follow up on this...

lj50036

is top noctch helper here. going above and beyond does not even come close to explaining what he has tried to do for me. Ultimately it was after we hit a brick wall, that I suggested flashing back to an earlier version that finally worked. I'm not convinced flashing to the latest version (like I first tried) would not work, as I didn't personally create/rename the SD card to do the flash. but re-flashing the original firmware got the tablet to boot finally. Of course all was lost other than what had been automatically backed up via google servers. Pictures/videos back to exactly one year from when the pad stopped booting were recovered. Everything before a year was gone. No game data or installs were saved. I thought maybe it had to do with a space issue, but after re-installing every app my son had before and about 1GB worth of pics/videos restored, there is still 16GB left, I doubt game/user data would have consumed that much...so I still have no idea what might have cause the pad to stop booting. Other than it was trying to do something important when he ran the battery dead. So at this point I'm having my son clean out unwanted apps, and we are going to unlock and root after a proper backup is done. Thank you to all that have had input on my dilemma. I've learned a ton.

[Hardware Hacking General] Matse.P:
Hi Guys,

I own a HTC Sensation with Android 4.0 ICS installed als OTA Update.

Some months ago I got a broken Touch Screen Digitizer Glass but the LCD was still ok.

So I decided to change my TSD on my own and bought one original spare part. As I startet demounting and unglueing the original TSD I cracked some regions of the original microphone and button flexcable.

Once the TSD was changed the Sensation would not start anyhow with the broken flexcable. There was only a reaction on the lightning of the buttons but no funktion of the sensation at all.

But today I even changed the damaged flexcable and after this I tried out to start my repaired sensation. But now there seems to be a different problem. The sensation hangs up on boot procedure with its white screen showing the three characters htc in green. And after a while it gives a soft reset und starts this procedure from the beginning. I can't switch it of, the only chance was to remove the battery.

While I was testing the new TSD, there was short a normal function for one boot but after this I was not able to bring this status back once again.

If I press the Power and Volume Down Button, I get to the bootloader. So the Sensation seems to be running in some way.

What can I do? Is some of my changed hardware cracked and forces the sensation to reboot with this neverending story?

Can anybody help?

Thanx a lot,

Matthias

Are us At&t custom ROM users going to have to move on to greener pastures with this Knox bs or will someone unlock the s4, note 3, and s5 (when it comes out) bootloaders at some point? Just curious if anyone has any insight on this, cause if we can't unlock it I'm definitely moving on to another carrier, personally. Or at least I'll buy international unlocked or Google editions in the future. Thanks and f at&t and Knox!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
Bootloader being locked has nothing to do with KNOX. And AT&T has already released an official statement a while back that said they plan on locking ALL carrier branded phones in the future.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] whmgreen:
I understand that they are locked. Now can you actually answer my question on whether or not someone will figure out how to unlock it?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] cybershawngates:
I think we have to wait a while till the s4 becomes old news. Then att will care less about it and there will be less updates and more time for someone to find a crack or leak for the bootloader unlock and the carriers will care less
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] whmgreen:
I think I'll just be done with at&t then probably. It's too bad that companies won't allow you to do whatever you want with YOUR phone. That's why I never got an iPhone! I actually don't mind running stock TW but I don't want to be stuck with it forever. Thanks everyone!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hednik:
Sad part is until it's paid off it not really your phone. Since they have a warranty for a year to cover issues it only makes sense. Now if they would provide an unlock after that warranty is up and the contract is settled then it would make sense.

Att will never have a unlocked device again, watch and see.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] toxicpaulution:
And these are the reasons I'm going to be moving over to T-Mobile or nexus devices. Just tired of AT&T all together.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
Another view:

I will stay with ATT as Verizon is too expensive and TMO in my area has sh**ty reception. ATT has been perfect for me in that area.

Also, I have been a heavy flasher for almost 4 years. The phones now are powerful enough that flashing roms is not that important to me as it once was. If I can get root with Xposed/Gravity Box/3Minit I am good. Plus there are fairly good backup apps now that Nandroiding isn't that critical.

I don't see much more coming my way, after this year, in improvements I am interested in. Something like a Note4 or S5 would be as far as I care to go.

All IMHO of course

:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ~wolverine~:
I thought that I read somewhere on a T-Mobile thread that the latest update locked the bootloader on the S4. Was that incorrect?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] toxicpaulution:
I'd go to the note 3 if I swapped to T-Mobile. I'm honestly tired of the s4 and the features don't wow me anymore plus the note 3 would be better in spec wise as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
The i337 bl was always locked but the loki-doki exploit bypassed sig check and allowed us to flash recoveries and kernels. With mf3 they closed that loophole by "blowing the Q-Fuse", whatever that is. Googled it but forgot what I read. :o

And now you are limited to flashing mostly TW roms <4.4. No custom recoveries/kernels.

I've not looked into upgrading my ROM yet as there seem to be so many horror stories around here.

Could someone say what the main benefits of newer ROMs are (I'm using the latest UK T-Mobile factory-fitted ROM at the moment) and what the dangers of installing non T-Mobile ones are? (I've already turned off most of the T-Mobile rubbish, but I don't want to suddenly lose Text or MMS messaging, or my default GPRS internet connection, etc). And if I upgrade the ROM, can I just use something like SPB Backup to restore all my applications, messages, etc. automatically or do I need to re-install applications by hand?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Deleted member 265814:
The new Rom is faster, has DirectPush Support and there are a few other little things better. And in the QTek Rom is no T-Mob. branding.

The Danger (with all rom updates, not only with non T-Mob. Roms): It's possible that you damage or destroy your device. Important is that you use lokiwiz to unlock your MDA for other Roms than from T-Mob.

I recommence reinstalling the apllications by hand. yfor mails etc. you can use spb backup. (if you haven't it on your pc to resync too)

Hello,

I'm also using a T-Mobile Vario with following device info:

Protocol version 4.0.13.23

Could anybody please advise if it's OK for me to update other, a newer and better one hopefully, on my device? If so could you please recommend the newest set of ROMs.

BTW, I'm a newbie and I don't understand what Protocol and ExtROM are, and if I should install them, and if yes where to find them? Can you please explain. Thank you.

I've upgraded, downgraded and upgraded again about a dozen different times with only one time having it going south on me. I just used the bootloader method of flashing and was abale to get out of trouble. I would use aWizard to to a full rom backup before doing a flash in case you want to downgrade. Over all, I do not know whether it is necessary but I always runb the unlock before the upgrade, even if I did it already. 3 minutes of time but could save your rear end . . . just my 2 cents . . .
