[Asus Transformer TF700] kahless1979:
It doesn't seem to be picking up the update I placed on root... I tried it on the internal drive and the external SD card. Didn't notify me of an update available ever after rebooting it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Does your volume button work normally as in: turn volume up and down?
[Asus Transformer TF700] kahless1979:
Yes it still turns the volume up and down.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kahless1979:
Woah this is new... the volume UP button turns my volume down and the volume DOWN button turns the volume up. Not kidding one bit it is actually reversed. So I shut the tablet off and held the volume up button and then power. It virbrated once and went to a screen that shows 3 icons that say Wipe Data, a USB symbol, and an android symbol. I chose the USB symbol and it says starting fastboot USB download protocol. And it just sits there doing nothing.

So I went through the process again I held the volume UP button then power. It vibrated once and said to press volume UP to enter into recovery. I pressed volume down since its reversed and it said booting to recovery kernel. And just sits there doing nothing. So i'm guessing the recovery is missing? Doesn't explain why my volume up and down buttons are backwards. I never really used the tablet for a great deal of media so I never noticed it was backwards until I actually looked at the plus and minus as I was pressing the buttons.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kahless1979:
Is there any way to install a recovery kernel without being able to be in recovery?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Yes, in fastboot mode.

From your PC: fastboot flash recovery some-recovery-blob-file
[Asus Transformer TF700] kahless1979:
I finally got a recovery on there. I used Goo manager and installed TWRP recovery. So holding volume up and power I was able to boot into TWRP recover and install the Asus 4.2.1 update. And it worked perfectly. So I guess that means I have a working recovery now and should be able to push a 4.4.1 ROM onto it?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
If you installed the full Asus ROM, you need to reinstall a custom recovery via fastboot because it was replaced with the stock recovery. Make sure you use one that supports 4.4 ROMs. Then you can go on with flashing your ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kahless1979:
I'm not sure if it was the full one or not. It was just an update from 4.03 to 4.2.1. It left my programs intact. Do I need to install a custom recovery still or will the TWRP one I installed with Goo Manager still work?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
If you flashed the stock firmware it replaced TWRP with the stock recovery (and you probably lost root too). You can test it by booting into the bootloader and pushing Volume Up (or Down in your case, I guess - weirdest thing I ever heard) on the flashing RCK. If you get an Android falling on his back you're back to stock recovery.

GooManager currently installs TWRP 2.6.3.1 and I don't think that is compatible with KitKat roms. TWRP seems to have issues with KitKat anyway, so you are better off to fastboot CWM 6.0.4.6 or later. You'll find the links for CWM, the latest CM11 and gapps in the CM11 thread in the Development section.

BTW, KitKat may be latest Android version but is not the greatest ROM for this tablet IMHO. You should have a look at the CROMi-X 5.4 thread.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kahless1979:
I'll have to try all this tomorrow. And thanks for the suggestion on the CROMi mod. I'm just mainly looking to make it more responsive. 3 or 4 second delays between pushing buttons and waiting for the kindle app to load for 12 seconds is just ridiculous.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I agree - and I guarantee that does not happen on CROMi-X 5.4. That rom has the advantage of being based on the Asus stock rom, meaning the hardware drivers for the keyboard are Asus' and actually work, not generic like in CM roms.

You need bootloader 10.6..1.14.8 or .10 and TWRP 2.6.1 or 2.6.3.1 for it.

Not sure if you can use Goo again to flash TWRP since you may have lost root. You may have to learn fastboot after all ;)

But I'm glad you're out of the quicksand! :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] kahless1979:
To make it easier if I root it again, use goo to install TWRP, boot into the TWRP recovery, will it allow me to flash the CROMi?
[Asus Transformer TF700] kahless1979:
Is CROMi-X 5.4 based off Jelly Bean 4.3? What makes it better than Kit Kat? Is it just because its more optimized for the TF700?

Is this the one to get? http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407573418

That link is from this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2425383

That is the DEODEX version. Not the ODEX version. I'm not sure what the difference is.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kahless1979:
So I installed TWRP with Goo manager. Shut the tablet off. Held volume up plus power button and selected the option to boot to the recovery. It immediatly switches to the android guy saying installing update, then switches to him laying down saying error. I can still boot back into my rom just fine. But now it seems I don't have a functioning recovery again.

EDIT: I see that I did lose ROOT on the tablet. I tried the motochopper app that allowed me to root 4.03 and just like before it fails everytime with 4.2.1. That is what originally let me on a google search and I came across an android site that had said 4.2.1 on the TF700 can't be rooted that I needed to downgrade to earlier version which I ended up with 4.03 which rooted fine. Suggestions?
[Asus Transformer TF700] kahless1979:
Here is a picture of what motochopper says:
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Correct, installing a full firmware overwrites your root access, and Goo needs it. Easy solution: install a recovery using fastboot.

So i'm at the install screen for CROMi X and I have variations to pick from like _that stock and _that OC (overclock?) and hunds version and a bunch of others. Which should I pick if i'm after performance?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Some completely unbiased (ahem :o) advice: use _that OC.

[Asus Transformer TF700] kahless1979:
Yeah must be a coincidence it has your name in it :) I went with the OC one. I'm big into overclocking! Just built a PC around an Asus rampage IV black edition motherboard, i7 4930K @ 4.7ghz, 32gigs 2133mhz Gskill Ram, 2X Geforce 780Ti SLI cards. So I figure I might as well overclock my tablet also :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] kahless1979:
I have confirmed that it is flashed and fully working! Thanks for all your help guys! I think allot of this would have never happened if I had figured out my volume button is reversed. That is funny as I have had this tablet ever since they first came out and never noticed it before. That is what led me to trying to google out some answers when I would be trying someones guide and could never get into recovery with the buttons. That is when I started trying anything I could find. How soon before we can expect an CHROMi Rom based off Kit Kat?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] BeachCat:
Hello all,

First off, sorry for the long post, I'm sure it won’t happen again. :wink: I'm new to the forum & Cingular 8125. I had a Treo 700w for about a week but I got rid of it because of ActiveStink & Verizon's poor service in my area. Now I have a shiny new Wizard and am anxious to get it all dialed in. :D So far I have not purchased anything for it except the Plantronics 640 BT headset & BoxWave screen protector. I'm in real estate now, so I'm in car a lot and plan on getting TomTom5 & a vehicle mount. Easy access to call & e-mail contacts, hopefully sorted by FIRST name and using my own custom Outlook forms would be GREAT! Is this available anywhere?

:arrow: I guess what I'd like from experienced users is a brief list of really basic useful software & accessories that have been proven to work by you. Just basics, like backup, contact mgmt, SD mini cards, SmartKey(?), etc. In my brief Treo days I found a really useful thread on a Treo forum ( http://guide.treonauts.com ) that really helped me plan & budget for stuff I might add to the device, and it would be really cool if forums WM users could have a similar thread....maybe this can be it? :idea:

:?: Also, I've been reading a lot of threads about custom ROM updates here, which seem to be helpful to a lot of you, but it sounds like there may be a new "official" ROM from Cingular released soon, so I am not sure of whether I shoudl update my ROM right now. I don't work for a company with an Exchange server, so I just set my e-mail acct to check IMAP every 5 minutes. SO, the only feature I really want is voice dialing over BT. Is that (A2DP) part of the HTC ROM with radio vs. 01.16.11?

Thank you all, I really appreciate your feedback! :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] kyphur:
Voice Dialing via Bluetooth can be accomplished with the shipped ROM.

If you are happy with Cyberon voice dialer then you're already set, just record your voice tags.

For real voice recgonition, buy Misrocost Voice Command and find the Cab file or Registry Hacks you'll need to hi-jack the button ffrom Cyberon )posted many times in these forums).

For me the reasons to flash one of the 2.0 Roms: speed, stability, inproved battery life.
[Moto X Q&A] jcrss13:
From what I have seen it can be rather difficult to take the 4.4.2 update. I am rooted using the methods from jcase and am currently on 4.4 with the correct bootloaders for the update. I have been using xposed and I know I need to flash the xposed disable zip file, but how do I do that without having TWRP or CWM? I think I have done everything else needed to get take the update (removed superuser app and turned off all root permissions.)is there anything else that needs to be done besides disable xposed?

Has anyone else encountered problems running Fix Permissions from Rom Manager lately?

After Steven's warning here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49990427&postcount=62, I did a clean install and did not replace Browser or Gallery, all went well for a while, but then I began getting Trebuchet FC errors, rebooted to recovery to run Fix Permissions, but it is not avalible in the 6.0.4.7 CWM recovery, so I tried it through Rom Manager - noticed that it now has "toasts" rather than the old console type display, set it aside and let it run. Came back to my homescreen rather than the "reboot now" message that I was expecting. Re-booted and noticed a few user apps were missing, also got a few "android.process.media has stopped" errors as well as Trebuchet FC's. Convinced that I had a bad install, I formatted system, data and cache and flashed the latest nightly - 2/19 - oops, see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50470383&postcount=119 - getting stuck on the bootloader convinced me that I had something wrong with the EMMC, so I followed Leapinlar's (thanks again) Partition Repair guide at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28457126#post28457126 - of course, the same thing happened again because of the bad nightly. Finally re-flashed the 2/15 nightly and got everything working again, ran fix permissions just to make sure. Actually sat and watched about a half dozen "toasts" and then my display went black, with occaisional SU "toasts" popping up until my homescreen came back on after about 10 minutes - not back to Rom Manager, no reboot warning, just sitting at my homescreen. I let it sit for another 10-15 minutes and rebooted, after starting, a few user apps missing, "android.process.media has stopped" errors as well as Trebuchet FC's. I started a Logcat and ran Fix Permissions again, same thing. Logcat is at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/20993724/lc022014.txt if anyone is interested, I am going to report to ClockworkMod.

After re-formatting system, data and cache, 2/20 nightly installed fine, all has been well for the last few days, but have not run fix permissions.

Why does Samsung insist on trying to make their phones with removable batteries waterproof? Didn't they learn their lesson with the Galaxy S Active?

Could care less about waterproofing..lol like im going to go swimming with my device.

Removable battery is a very nice feature..along with ext sd card support.

S5 is not water proof, it's water resistant.

Big difference.
[Galaxy S 5 General] sensationfan623:
They did make a point to say this during the S5 debut. Resistant, not infallible.
[Galaxy S 5 General] maggot_ff:
Still, IP67 means complete dust protection (6) and ability to withstand up to 30 minutes under one meter of water (7). More than enough water "proofing" for most people. As long as I can answer my phone right after a shower and I can use it in any weather condition, I'm happy. Now, to decide between the Z2 and the S5... Or maybe HTC will give us something even better. Decisions, decisions...
[Galaxy S 5 General] andrewilley:
As my phone usually sits in a dock on my desk when I'm working, this USB cover will prove a real pain I suspect.

But removable battery and an SD-card slot are both essentials for me, so at least those boxes are ticked for me.

I have to say that water resistance is something I really wanted for the long time. Feel stupid that I bought S4.
[Galaxy S 5 General] adichandra:
So you dont like removable batteries???
[Galaxy S 5 General] longjohnsteve:
Personally the s5 does seem like a bit of a let down. I went from the first s to the s3, so that was a major improvement. But Im not so sure about the bump from the s3 to the s5. Only time will tell if it is really a great improvement when it comes out. If only HTC made the new phone with a removable battery. Removable batteries is the most handy thing ever. Battery dies, just slap in a new one. No battery worries or problems!

But who know, I sure hope it turns out great.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Hellscythe:
did the s4 active water resistance fail because of flawed design, or because people don't know how to put the backs on their phone properly?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Rekoil:
It doesn't matter which was the actual reason, if it fails because of people not knowing how to put the backs on their phone on properly then it is a flawed design.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Hellscythe:
No. that means the people are stupid.

That's like saying cars are bad and have a flawed design because people don't know how to drive them and end up killing themselves.
[Galaxy S 5 General] svenvaeth:
Does anybody know whether it would be possible to remove this USB cover?

I also use my phone mainly in the docking station.

[Galaxy S 5 General] ewa12321:
This usb cover protects your phone from water damage.

Some advice for water resistant phone users. Form manuals and my exoeriences:

Remember this phone is water resistant not water proof like sone rewievs wrongly saying.

Take care of usb cover. Dont damage it, dont rip it off, close it carefully and be sure to check if its really closed, are edges are 100% flat not raised.

Close back cover well. Check 10 times before going with your phone into water.

If you're not sure avoid water contact with your phone. If you ignore my and manual warrnings you damage your phone and warrainty will not cover expensive repair.

Do not swim underwater with your phone in salt water. Do not drunk it in beer, cocacola and any other liquid that is not fresh water. You can do it only in fresh water.

Wireless charging, solved. Next.

You've obviously never handled the newer s devices. I went from a s3 (July 2012) to note II (october 2012), to note 3 (October 2013), I saw significant improvement between all devices. S3 was sluggish after switching to the note II, note II had significant battery life improvement and was way faster than the s3. Even with custom roms on both, the difference was day and night. When I moved to the note 3...the battery would actually last me a full day, sometimes on weekends I may need to charge it at some point so I have some juice if I decide to stay out a bit later. The response times are also significantly faster on the note 3 compared to the note 2. And that's a single gen jump so I don't know why you would think the s3 to s5 jump wouldn't be good? The s3 was honestly a sluggish device, even compared to what the s4 had/has to offer. But then again, the needs of an individual will vary, if you find that the s3 is fine you may want to stick with it until it dies.
[Galaxy S 5 General] andrewilley:
Does that leave the phone facing me, with the screen display on? Same applies when I'm in the car by the way, my phone always sits in a dedicated dashboard holder - screen on for music player & sat nav use, but charging at the same time. Does wireless charging do this? If so, then yes problem definitely solved for me (I rarely use the USB port for data transfer, Samba share over Wi-Fi is fast enough for most stuff, and it's convenient and always-on).

However, as they made the 3.5mm audio socket water resistant, why could they not do the job properly and do the same for the USB port? I guess it would need gold plated terminals to fully avoid possible long-term corrosion, but hey this is not a cheap phone and you're not going to be dipping it in and out of water all the time anyway.

Andre
[Galaxy S 5 General] jay2the1:
The main point of the water resistance is that if you are walking and it starts to absolutely pour it down you can still use your phone, it's not designed for you to go live underwater, because as you know smart phones over the years have had a bad reputation of developing faults after being used in the rain.
[Galaxy S 5 General] gordonzhao:
Yes, I have the note 3 w/ wireless charging and a tylt vu

So is the iPhone waterproof . . . the answer is NO!
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
Does that stop millions of people from buying it....? NO!

Do a bunch of those people go and invest in a water proof case? YES!

I highly doubt the next iPhone will be water resistant either. It's a cool feature to have but for the time being not really a necessity.
[Galaxy S 5 General] andrewilley:
Unless you happen to drop your phone in a puddle or in the washing-up bowl, then all of a sudden it sure is a necessity!

I hear a lot, really alot, of Iphone users complaining about their warranty is void because of the moist detector in their phones having been triggered. Well, lets just say this won't happen with the S5 ...
[Galaxy S 5 General] frankgreimes:
Well Appl€ is known for having a rigid customer service/experience they don't want their customers to create a personal phone they wan't them to have a forced/closed experience without any customization at all. If you can't even offer a microsd slot or a removable battery at least provide a water proof build.
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
At times like that, sure it is necessary but im not sure how the water resistance will hold up to a drop.

The stress reflected on the device from a drop is enough to knock off the battery cover, it could easily disrupt the water resistant seal and allow your device to still be damaged unless there is a nano coating on the S5's insides to prevent damage.

I unfortunately encountered a high pressure hose breaking beside me and in turn soaking me and filling my pockets to the brim with water, including the pocket housing my S4. I could say I was lucky that my S4 came out undamaged even though it started restarting on its own initially after the exposure to the water. I thank its survival to the removable battery, I was immediately able to remove the battery and begin drying the phone instead of just plopping it in rice and praying for the best.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] edgemaster191:
Hey everybody.

I'm having an issue where I have no data while connected to my Network Extender at home while using Google Play Edition or AOSP ROM's.

Phone calls and SMS work fine over the network extender. I wouldn't mind if data didn't work as i'm on WiFi at home, but i'm unable to send / receive picture messages.

Next to my signal meter it shows a small R as if it were roaming, i've tried turning on Data Roaming in mobile network settings and still nothing.

On a Sense based ROM, it shows 3G and an icon that looks like a house with radio waves coming out of the top of it and data works fine (data, picture messages, etc.)

Wondering if anyone else experiences the same and maybe has any suggestions?

Thanks!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] JC Why:
I had similar strange behavior with my Network Extender and a GPE ROM. Unfortunately, I just gave up trying to figure it out and switched to a Sense based ROM. I wonder if it has to do with the GPE ROM not natively being Verizon. (The ROM not knowing what a "network extender" is and how to deal with it properly.)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] edgemaster191:
Thanks, that's kind of what i'm thinking. Figured it's worth a shot to ask though. I really like how my phone runs with GPE / AOSP ROM's.

This issue is just annoying enough to push me away from the GPE ROM's. I wouldn't care at all if I lived somewhere where i didn't need the extender.
