[Asus Transformer TF701] ebildude123:
This is not asus' fault at all. When you unlock your bootloader you void your warranty, as with all devices not just asus transformers. When you modify your device, and tamper with it, its no longer what asus sold it to you as. If you used easy flasher which is for the tf101 and not 701, there is no one to blame for this mistake but yourself. Especially when you flash a bootloader for a different device. Unless you have a JTAG theres not much to do. Even then who knows. Im not bashing you here, just so you know. Good luck with your device, although im afraid its a pretty expensive paperweight by now.
[Asus Transformer TF701] stream1313:

Dear ebildude123,

Seems you have some relationships with ASUS, is it? :) See, I'm not trying to say that it's not a my fault. If you read my post carefully, it is clearly described that I'm confirming - it is 100% my fault. but I want to say about other things:

At first, I started because of the following ASUS DEFAULT PROBLEM's: suddenly screen was blinking, w/o any reason; tab was restarting by itself, at list once per 2-3 days; Default backup was not working, battery life time was low etc.

My main message is: ASUS distributed the unlock SW on site, together with USER LEVEL SW. It is incorrect, IMHO. They should distribute it within advanced users and developers, using some more safe mechanism. As minimum they have to sign this download as potentially DANGEROUS for unexperienced user.

But currently it is open to everybody so it is like a Pandora's box, which is asking - "open me" and as result many of people getting hard bricked tabs. Then, ASUS forcing them to pay 300$ or whatever. Actually, I do not crying too much for my bricked device (I have my laptop and desktop with me, as well as my linux server) Also I know that I just need to wait a little more for compatible nvflash.. ...but I do not think that I will purchase another ASUS device in the future..

IMHO - if you DISTRIBUTING on your site the bootloader unlock tool, you have to provide nvflash or any other way to restore the tab / phone, but not pushing stupid idea about "mainboard replacement" for almost device price itself. So you have your opinion - and it is mine. Ok? Good luck :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] ebildude123:
Haha no relationship with Asus. I guarantee it. :) While I agree unlock tool shouldn't be thrown around, that's not what bricks your device, it's what you flash that does. Personally I think they should use fastboot unlock instead but meh. Yes of course everyone has their own opinions. I respect yours and hope you respect mine as well. Good luck with nvflash but I have doubts your current blob would work even if they made a tool compatible with tf701 tegra4.
[Asus Transformer TF701] stream1313:
lol, hope your post do not really had any Asus roots:))

now I need advice, if possible..

what do you think about Linux installation, which is described in network, according to them even bricked tf701 is recoverable?

Pls, if somebody already experienced, reply me!
[Asus Transformer TF701] stream1313:
anybody here?
[Asus Transformer TF701] sbdags:
APX mode with no nvflash blobs = hard bricked device. Your device needs specific blobs encrypted with the key. You can't even boot to working bootloader.

Even Asus don't **** around with them they just replace the mother board.

Suggest you do the same, it's THE ONLY WAY you are going to get your device back. Linux will not help you here.
[Asus Transformer TF701] stream1313:
Hi sbdags,

Thanks for your message, currently I just trying to keep my brick charged, to prevent battery dead.. Will wait till smb from ASUS or from outside will broke the bloody encrypted bootloader, because I do not have possibility to replace he main board ((
[Asus Transformer TF701] Kashban:
Well, three years later and my TF701 bricked itself over night. Only thing I see is APX in the windows device manager. I managed to get a driver for that but am now stuck with the next steps, if there are any at all.
[Asus Transformer TF701] mr.bin:
yep!

maybe i got a solution, but untested for mass unbrick)

i'm already unbrick few devices.

need someone with bricked device and tech skills to test for public use.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Kashban:
Sorry for being late.

That would be great and yes, I do have the tech skills. What do you want me to test?

I also have recently experienced a hard brick on an asus tf700t running KatKiss-7.1_TF700T_026

APX mode & only a TWRP backup

I would also like to try your method to unbrick

Thanks in advance
[Asus Transformer TF701] mr.bin:
my solution works only for tf701t not tf700t

I have a bricked tf701t and good tech skills if you need additional testers. I'm looking forward to the progress of your solution.

If your tab "soft" bricked, then that must help...
[Asus Transformer TF701] Bebopper:
Can you please send me the instruction as well. I have TF201, but since it is hardbricked anyways I am very interested to learn what solution you might have. Who knows it may also work for the TF201 :)

Nvflash works great, thanks mr.bin

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aljowen:
I have recently updated to the official cm11 rom and am not having a great time with it. So i would like to go back to 10.2.

But a problem i have noticed with my device is i have been getting quite a few error messages when i try and wipe certain directories in cwm recovery. I have been told that the device is probably corrupted. For the past 8ish months i have just ignored the error messages, they have never caused any issues (famous last words i know).

So what i want to do is:

Back up all my user data

I can just copy/paste that onto my pc and then only copy back what i actually want​

Back up all of my application data

The last time i tried to do this i used titanium backup, after doing a full backup it said it could only restore data from about 10 apps (i have about 200). So what is the best backup software available for the job? (preferably one that works, or is idiot proof. I have no idea who was to blame, im pretty sure i did it correct though.)​

Wipe everything

Get CM10.2 reinstalled

Or possibly a new rom, i have only ever used stock and cm in the past. What is there to gain/loose from switching?

If i do go for cm10.2 where can i get the last version from? , i have a few more recent copies still on my phone but they haven't kept a recent 10.2 copy on the cyanogenmod download page.​

I would like the rom that i install to be the first rom to have touched the phone. I dont want any left overs from the stock rom or anything like that. My phone has been going for 2.3 ish years and has never had user data wiped. It is filled with obsolete folders and 10 million different camera save locations (why cant they keep them the same? :p Not even Samsung were consistent ) so i would just like the phone to be clean again, ready for me to fill up with more garbage.

Thanks for any help,

Still looking for someone thats running this rom on a GPE device
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] egzthunder1:
I am sorry to interrupt this, but I believe that this thread is actually dangerous due to a single line statement in the op....

AFAIK, that means nothing or else people would be able to flash Roms from the xperia version to the gpe, and unless I am mistaken, this is not possible without hard bricking the device.

I am sorry but unless and until this ROM is tested to at the very least flash without hard brick, which I still have not seen anyone in this thread do, I will close the thread and remove links. While I understand that coming across people willing to sacrifice their devices for testing is not simple or easy, releasing a completely untested build for a device based on evidence from a different device is not exactly the most responsible thing to do.

Until the op can provide evidence that this is safe to flash, I am locking this down.

I am the one who knocks...

Edit: The OP has provided proof that the ROM was actually built using the tree from the CM repo for this device. I am reopening the thread. Thank you for your understanding.

I'm assuming I can flash the russion stock ftf file instead while using your pre-root zip? Do I need to flash the su fix?
[Sony Xperia ZR] ralf_waldo:
Yes, you can flash any ftf but make sure you exclude system. Also, NO super user fix required. Although updating the super su user to its latest version from playstore is recommended.

Have fun. :)

[Sony Xperia ZR] grizzlyspid86:
Sir,

Follow all your procedure, however super su is not working in my ZR. Please see attachment.

Edit - i just re-root it back in recovery and it fixed. :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] ralf_waldo:
Good to know, but for information, did you wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and choose option "Clean to install a new rom" in the recovery before flashing rom?. Also, did you flash any other zip after flashing the rom?. Did you update busybox?.

I'm using the same rom without any super su user issues.

-Ralf :)
[Sony Xperia ZR] grizzlyspid86:
Ahh damn. Forget to wipe those before flashing. Still work though. Hahaha is there any effects?

thank you dear ralf waldo , i have a request

please strip the ftf file (exclude the system.sin from the ftf (unzip/extract ftf and repack again)

some ppl like me have some limitation on data bandwidth and data traffic

tnx in advance bro
[Sony Xperia ZR] sling-shot:
This is really heavy work and thanks for your efforts.

I am improving my knowledge slowly from the last thread onwards ;)

1. Shall I take it the advice NOT to update BusyBox stands cancelled for this? It is not specifically mentioned unlike your previous thread hence the doubt.

2. What if Sony decides to roll-out some software update for a component such as Album? Will I be able to download and install that as usual? And about future official ROM updates by Sony say to KitKat. Will it be upgradable (even if I lose root) in place or will I have to reset the phone? I am thinking that individual software updates should work but whole system upgrade may cause problems.
[Sony Xperia ZR] ralf_waldo:
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention about busybox. Thanks for reminding.

Don't worry, you'll get all updates from sony. As I said, this rom is pure stock rom with the additional benefit of root access and recovery. :)

Don't know about future upgrades from sony as of yet. But yes, you'll loose root access but you can always look up on xda for my thread to root it back again. ;)

Cheers,

Ralf :)

Wait, did you install that cwm recovery after flashing my zip?. Please don't do that. You'll get bootloops. I've already included the recovery in the flashable zip file. Just follow the instructions carefully. :)

Let me know if you run into any problems.

[Sony Xperia ZR] mirakulixs:
no..

i installed recovery and root on my stock 4.2.2, after that i installed your indian pre-rooted zip,then supersu update......

but i cant turn my phone off!!!!!!!!! in cwm is no button to turn off, only reboot etc. so i put my accu away.

then i put it on, but dont turn on my phone.

start flashtool > select your ftf > press volume down and put it on pc > flash with flashtool your stock indian ftf with "execute system" :D

and then i was unsecure cause the reboot take longer as 10 minutes!

and now...im realy happy!

i must install cwm on 4.2.2 before to install your zip..or?

regards mira
[Sony Xperia ZR] ralf_waldo:
By reboot take longer, you mean the first boot after flashing a new rom?. It roughly takes 4 to 6 minutes. 10 minutes seems pretty long. Never happened to any of us. Anyways, I'm glad you made it work. But, if it really took 10 minutes then I suggest you do a factory reset without your sim card and memory card inserted in the phone. Also, choose erase internal storage option at the bottom in the factory reset menu. This will rule out any issues or problems.

Cheers. ;)
[Sony Xperia ZR] ralf_waldo:
Always install the newest recovery available for Xperia ZR at this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261606

i can delete it?

shall i flash now newer recoverys when its avialible?

when recoverys are newer, i can restore older backups with i make with that recovery which is in your rom now?

redards mira
[Sony Xperia ZR] ralf_waldo:
Yes, that recovery is in the flashable zip.

Do not delete those 3 files. They are necessary for certain functions in the phone. We all have those 3 files in our phones too. Don't worry about it.

Yes you can flash newer recovery when available and it wont cause any problems with backup and restore. But make sure someone else reported that the newer version works fine because they're "beta" versions and they don't always work without bugs. :))

This is quoted from your previous ROM thread. I did a search of XDA for the said 4.1.2 ROM but got only your post as the hit. However an internet search got the above Google Drive link. Is it the one? As it is not from XDA I am a bit worried about the genuineness / safety.

I will need a long time to prepare. I have to inventory my phone, back up all data with all the customisation I have done to each application. Not have enough time.

I can use Sony Update Service to do the downgrade right?

I will report back once done.

Looks like I am not going to be able to get it from Google Drive.

Initially I tried downloading it with Firefox add-on DownThemAll. 2 attempts randomly failed after going variable distance 300-400 MB range (I guess). I think the log-in timed out or session was closed. (Although the GDrive window was still open and logged-in.)

Then thinking that it was probably because of multiple connections opened by DownThemAll, I tried direct download using Firefox. Left it overnight. In the morning I saw that it had failed after getting 738+ MB!!! :(

Installed Google Drive desktop software and left it running from morning to evening. It has been downloading at 50 - 70 KBps all day long and I see nothing in the hard disk. ( thought it should be done in about 6 - 7 hours). This is like believing in God. I cannot see it working but I am supposed to believe that it is doing its work. There is no progress indicator. There is no visible partially completed file in the target directory.

Installed GDocsDrive. Started the download. After a few hours it has stalled at around 30% for half an hour now. My network meter is showing no significant ongoing internet activity but GDocsDrive tries to fool me into believing that it is busy getting the file at a rock-steady 50 KBps for more than half an hour now.

Hmmm...

I will happily welcome any further ideas to get that file. A Google search did not turn up any viable alternate source.

My internet connection is a DSL line provided by BSNL @ 512 Kbps.
