[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I wouldn't start installing custom anything without working fastboot and adb access.

- Make sure the contacts of the connector and cable are clean.

- Do the equivalent of "lsusb" under OSX to check if the tablet is detected.

- Try different USB ports.
[Asus Transformer TF700] edgex:
Have tried five ports accross three computers on three operating systems. Two usb cables, and the use of the dock should have bypassed any dirty connections. I can try Ubuntu live boot tomorrow if it comes to that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] edgex:
Sent it off to get fixed, they verified they had the same problem, waited weeks for a replacement part, they replaced it and sent it back. And its doing the samn damn thing. So done with this tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Did you freeze or disable your system apps by any chance?
[Asus Transformer TF700] edgex:
No, and I would think a factory reset which I've done multiple times would have undone that even if I had on accident some way.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
How do you connect the tablet to the PC? Always through the dock USB?

Do you have the same problem when connecting the tablet directly? Undock it, use the original cable to connect to different USB ports.
[Moto X Q&A] marosteeha:
hey people, id would very much appreciate of someone could help me with this issue.

here is the deal:

i have moto X from CLARO (Colombia), on KK 4.4.2 (t-mobile firmware - SO NOT STOCK CLARO FIRMWARE)) , unlocked bootloader, rooted (soon with a non stock kernel). today i got in the mail a new 4g sim card (yay!!! 4g finally came to colombia what evs...). THE PROBLEM IS THE SIM CARD IS NOT ACTIVATED YET, see, along with the sim card i got instructions detailing how i should go about activating the sim card, which basically goes something like this:

1. dial *611# (USSD code), press send and wait for the options to appear.

2. in the options menu, dial the number 9, which should say "Sim 4g" and press send.

3. next the system will prompt you to enter the serial number of you new 4g sim card.

4.type in the 17 digit number of your sim card that's located in the bar code (this is on the plastic card that the sim card came in) and press send.

5. a message will appear telling you that the change has been done successfully, wait a couple of minutes until you have no signal on your current sim card and the switch to your 4g sim card.

ACTUALLY THE REAL PROBLEM IS!: whenever i dial *611# i dont get the 4g option, my theory i that because i am not on claro's firmware i dont get that option (but i do get all other options), or it has something to do with kit kat?.

i guess my question would be:

- is there a way to activate a sim card that doesnt involve taking it in to my service provider? (considering i have an unlocked phone i no longer have warranty)

- has anyone anywhere gone trough something similar?

-any ideas on a possible solution?
[HTC Droid DNA] Yehudah:
I'm stupid, I get it.

I just got an Asurion replacement DNA the other day and I wanted to S-Off, Root, Recovery Image, and new KitKat ROM.

So, I was able to use Rumrunner, and that worked out fine.

I rooted my DNA and then loaded TWRP 2.6.3, and that worked fine as well.

My intent was to load GPE and I d/l'd it to my phone (not knowing it was a corrupt download).

So I got into recovery, wiped, wiped, reset, and loaded the ROM - and it puked all over itself.

Now, I have a phone that is in recovery, has no image, and I can't figure out how to put one on it.

I'm running Mint Linux, but I have access to a W7 laptop if I need it.

It's my daily driver, I'm frustrated, upset, and stupid. And I could certainly use some help.

Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] Yehudah:
In a terminal window (thanks .torrent), I typed: adb devices (then sudo adb devices) and got nothing in return.

I've tried sideloading; the ROM loads according to the terminal window, but I don't see anything happening on the phone (no failures though).

I've tried pushing a ROM to the phone but the terminal window says that it doesn't see the device. That doesn't make sense because I can sideload (apparently).

ugh.
[HTC Droid DNA] sdamark:
This question has been answered at least a dozen times, "Help I wiped my internal storage", blah blah blah.

Download the rom you want on your computer. Put it in the same directory as your ADB stuff (mine is C:\android, I don't know what yours is).

Plug phone into computer, make sure you have ADB enabled on your phone, open a command prompt, verify you have ADB working by typing "adb devices"

You should see your device listed.

Boot phone into recovery >advanced >ADB sideload

Follow instructions at top of sideload screen to sideload rom from computer to phone.

In the future a little searching would get you to all this information, rather than starting a new thread... :good:

Enjoy

P.S. ALWAYS verify your MD5 before flashing, and ALWAYS have a backup made to fall back on.
[HTC Droid DNA] Yehudah:
I know it's been done to death. I searched and read every thread that was like mine and did everything in each thread.

It was the last thing I did that worked. RUU from .torrents links. That worked. I'm still rooted, Next time I'll make sure I have I backup I can restore - won't make this mistake again.

Thanks for the low level chastising, I deserved it. And thanks for the info, ad nauseum.
[HTC Droid DNA] Yehudah:
After a two day ordeal, I finally got my DNA back to where it was before I borked it up last week.

Because of what I did; I needed to use Rumrunner to unlock, RUU to get back to where the phone worked, ADB and Fastboot to get the recovery image set up and put a ROM on the phone.

When it was all said and done, .torrent walked me through getting the phone fixed. Without him, I'd still be banging my head against my desk.

Thanks to the developers who created Rumrunner, and who developed the Android tool kits that helped me overcome my stupidity. Because of their ability to create great applications, I've learned more about Linux and how my phone works than I ever did before....just wish it hadn't taken this to cause that.

Thanks to all, you guys ROCK! :good:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] KenxirC:
Hello everyone!!

I know it's not the subject, but this being my first time posting here let me start by thanking all of the developers and collaborators for the great works in this community! I have already benefited from a few tutorials and files disposed here, so thanks for everything so far! :good:

Back to the subject now =)

Although I am using an official rom in my Xperia Neo, 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.42), I made several modifications to it and I couldn’t find a similar thread involving a "modified official rom", I only read threads describing how to make a simple FTF backup of an "untouched official rom" through SEUS, which I presume that won't work in my case. So I hope the more experienced people can give me some directions!

My device is currently rooted and the bootloader is also unlocked through the official Sony method. I substituted the original kernel for the Inteks so that I could use cpu overclocks, removed all the bloatware and integrated some updates and a few new apps in the system through link2sd.

Now I'd like to make a backup of this modified rom before I flash new roms to the device. For what I understood so far, the recovery nandroid backup system will save everything, including installed apps and configurations, right? I'd like to make just a simple rom backup.

I'm afraid that this nandroid "full backup" could decrease the performance after restoration. If I perform a factory reset prior to the nandroid backup, could it minimize the chances of having problems after restoration?

I'm asking this in case there is no manner to create a .ftf file… And, what you guys think about both types of backup, am I getting the wrong impression about nandroid or .ftf files are really better and/or safer??

I installed the app Rom Manager to check its features. It seems it only performs nandroid backups as well directing to the recovery (hope I got it right), but I ended up noticing an issue. The app asks to install or update the CWM Recovery, I tried to update but I get a message saying my device is not compatible.

The current recovery installed in my Neo is "CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7-nAa-r2".

Should I update it? And if it's the case, how should I do it??

Is my device really incompatible with Rom Manager, or that message I got was because of the old recovery version installed in my Neo??

(I read about this kind of incompatibility with some devices, just wanna check if it's the case with my phone and if there is a new recovery for Xperia Neo that is compatible with Rom Manager)

Sorry about the long text and so many questions in a single post, but I really want to understand more about this stuff, all the changes in my phone were done separately during more than a year, so I am not much used to these procedures.

I would appreciate any help! Thanks for the attention!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Attitude.SSJ:
Cwm recovery backup restoration shouldn't cause any performance issues... The full backup will have everything in your current rom.. The cwm recovery stays in kernel... I don't understand why you want Rom manager... It's incompatible with our devices...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] KenxirC:
Hey Attitude.SSJ, thanks for answering my post!

I tried to explain that I am a beginner, I dont understand many things... I wasnt sure our phones are incompatible with Rom Manager, I wanted to check it, thanks for clarifying that one! Right now I really didnt need it, but I guess it would be very useful for testing others roms after my backup, I imagine Rom Manager makes things faster and easier, right? I wanted to check if there really wasnt a compatible version for Xperia Neo in the present date, since most of the threads I read are from 2012.

About my fear of issues due to restoration from a nandroid backup, I read a few cases where people got many crashes and weird behaviors from the phones, thats why...

So, if I go with the nandroid backup, I will get every single app and configuration saved for the future?? Even the apps I moved to sdcard??

I imagine that I could save the whole sdcard content separately and latter perform a restoration with this nandroid backup and put everything back in the sdcard to reach the exact state in which my smartphone is right now.

Is that the way nandroid backup works??

(I really want to understand it better before decide what to do, hope I am getting the right idea)

Also, if a FTF backup is not possible (I still dont know if its really not possible), is there any other manner (maybe another kind of backup) to make a flashable backup with a clean rom like it would be with the FTF files??

Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Samak:
Just like [MENTION=4910197]Attitude.SSJ[/MENTION] said CWM backup or Nandroid backup does not effect performance mate.

U cant make a nandroid backup to FTF, only sin files can be used to make FTF files.

There is a guide to make nandroid backups to flashable zip file in Neo General section. check that out.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] KenxirC:
Thanks a lot Samak! That zip alternative is the kind of thing I was talking about, good to know this possibility!

Found these two methods:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2266285

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2209590

I will probably try one of them latter, but I'll perform a nandroid backup first to be safe!

I noticed that the final flashable file is referred to as "update.zip". Does it mean I need to flash a certain rom prior to this zip generated through these methods??

I also have a few important questions about nandroid before I make the backup, hope you guys can help me with this too.

I have many apps that were natively movable and some that I forced to the sdcard with link2sd. I have a 16GB sdcard almost full, so I have to empty it prior to the backup.

If I save the complete sdcard content in my pc and perform the nandroid backup after this, will nandroid be able to backup those apps moved to sd??

(I know part of the apps remain in the internal storage, but I'm still wondering what is gonna happen in this situation)

And after restoration, if I copy everything back to the sdcard, will the apps recognize everything??

Any other steps, or just CWM restore option??

Thanks guys!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Samak:
U dont need to flash the rom before flashing the nandroid zip. Just do all wipes properly & flash the rom.

I think if u copy all the sd card contents again then those apps linked to sd card will work properly. If u dont copy those contents again then linked apps will fc. I dont use link2sd so am not 100% sure. Correct me if I am wrong. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] KenxirC:
Awesome stuff man, thanks again!! :highfive:

Nandroid backup is really great and just saved me! After the backup I was feeling confident to mess with the device, so I made a factory reset to see how the rom would behave after the changes I made, without setup wizard and all the bloatware... At first glance everything seemed ok, but I don't know why the camera wouldn't work! I didn't remove anything related to the camera, I searched which system apps could be removed safely before doing anything. So this rom I am using right now is quite light, with a good amount of free internal storage, but it just can't be reseted because of the camera function and possibly some other bugs. Thankfully the nandroid restoration worked pretty well and now I don't have to go all the way installing and configuring everything!

All the apps seem to be fine after copying back the content of the sdcard, so using link2sd is ok to move apps before a nandroid procedure.

But considering the camera bug, I will not take the time to create a flashable zip of this rom I am using, maybe I can customize another one in the future and try it...

Any guesses of what could have gone wrong so that the camera didn't open after reseting the phone??

The camera app would only show a black screen of which I couldn't get out, the only choice was to turn off the phone.

Another doubt I have about nandroid restoration... I intend to flash the official ICS (MT15I_4.1.B.0.587) prior to the installation of Cyanogenmod and other roms based in newer versions of Android. But if I want to go back to this 2.3.4 nandroid backup while I am running, lets say, Jelly Bean, then what should I do??

Nothing, like it would be with a flashable zip, or should I make a downgrade first or any other procedure??

Thanks!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Samak:
If u r moving from ICS or JB to GB, then I would suggest u to flash the GB firmware ftf first, then restore the nandroid backup.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] KenxirC:
Ok, thanks man!

I'll try different roms now, just have to search a little for some tutorials to remember every step...

Hi folks,

I'm selling my phone and trying to get it back to stock. I flashed a lock_bootloader.zip file from another thread to lock the bootloader. I realized though, I don't know how to verify if that was successful. I booted into bootloader. Nothing says Locked or Unlocked. Says Moonshine S-OFF but doesn't say if it's locked or not. Does that mean it's unlocked? Or does that mean that it is locked?

Thanks...sorry for the noob question.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Moonshine hides the lock status so you need to follow the guide to completely go son and then a status will show as locked.

Invalid IMEI

Yes, you must flash the file named "nodl_protect_f.yaffs2.img" exracted from you phone as follows:

1. rename file to be "protect_f.img"

2. enable this file in the scatter txt file by changing "false" to True.

3. using flash tool

you will see that your mobile come back with signal and IMEI

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] andrbrks:
I went through from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2, no problems, phone ran fine after update. Then went to 4.3, same thing. The phone was running fine so I booted back into recovery and removed Knox as well as manually rerooted by flashing SuperSU. Rebooted after that and still no problems, phone was running great. I then make a backup so I have a restore point of stock 4.3, rooted, and without Knox. I then go on and try to flash Dandroid and get a status 7 error and the phone was acting up after I rebooted.

At this point I go back to my backup and simply restore it and reboot again. The phone boots up, so that's a good thing. The problem is the GApps will not run and it continuously has a pop-up notification. The phone is rendered unusable like this. I got lucky once and was able to try and launch ROM Manager to see if fixing permissions would work, but it also closed. I tried flashing a 4.3 GApps package with no success and even tried reflashing the 4.3 update but got a status 6 error.

I'm at a loss here, does anyone have any ideas on this?
