[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soopochoux:
Just unpack your kdz_updater package with winrar in a folder where you want to use it. I don't see anything about incompatibility with win8.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeubi_la_mouche:
Hello all,

I have a strange behavior that I don't understand.

I want to install a new rom : custom or stock, it doesn't matter.

1- For a custom rom, I boot in recovery mode (philz touch) and I do a full wipe (cache, data, system, preload).

I install the rom by zip installing.

2- For a stock rom, I flash it with ODIN.

At the first boot, there is still my gmail, dropbox and samsung accounts.

No needs to set my phone because everything is already done :confused:

Do you have any idea ????

Thank you for your help.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cabessius:
At first boot and after entering your Gmail user and pass you are asked if you want to restore the backup from Google servers. Just untick it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dan54321:
Problem:

The TF700 is reboot cycling without ever getting further than the initial ASUS logo. The recovery is not getting installed from SDCARD. I tried with US_epad-user-10.6.1.14.10.zip and WW_epad-user-10.6.1.14.10.zip (I don't know the SKU), renamed to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip on the root of an 8GB SDCARD formatted with vfat.

History:

I live in Germany and got a FT700 from a friend that bought it in the USA. He had power issues but thought it is a software problem and it seems he somehow bricked it. If I can repair it, I can keep it :)

I was able to build a power charger (yes, 15V over a USB cable...) from an old notebook charger and could successfully charge the tablet and the keyboard.

Messages:

Pressing Power-Vol when booting ->

Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "US_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801-20130801" A03

Key driver not found.. Booting OS

Starting Fastboot USB download protocol

Then three buttons appear in the screens center: RCK, android, WIPE DATA. I can move with Volume around and select. When I select RCK it writes:

Booting Recovery kernel image

Signature Match. (with both SKU versions)

The RCK button stops to flash, but no android bot or a progress bar ever appears :(

I can use fastboot over USB from Linux. I can run everything described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2538028 except it will not install a custom boot loader - because it's locked :crying:

Any idea how I can proceed? I would so much love to use this tablet! I am fluent in Linux command line and I'm willing to try desperate measures. Any help greatly appreciated!
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Have you tried to select "wipe data" and see if Android boots then?

wait... have you run any commands like "fastboot erase recovery" before? if yes, the above might hard brick your tablet.

If that doesn't work, the next idea would be to try to install a full firmware via fastboot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Can you use fastboot on a locked bootloader?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Yes, the fastboot is a part of the bootloader but the blob has to be signed...:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] dan54321:
Hey :)

Thank you for helping me :)

I actually did that - nothing changed.

I did run "fastboot erase recovery", because I thought the recovery partition was corrupted, because the RCK method didn't work. I was hoping to install a new recovery...

Ok - how do I do that?

I pushed the "blob" from the US_epad-user-10.6.1.14.10.zip with "fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system boot.blob", but it didn't change anything. I got an "InvalidState" only, when I tried to write the bootloader (I guess because it's locked).
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I think some user already found out last year the the locked bootloader will happily erase partitions, but then fail to flash the blob, even if it is signed. Sorry, no other ideas.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Where did you get the boot.blob? In the original Asus firmware zip, there is only a blob file. Even if you unpack the blob file, these are the dot files after unpacking the blob: .APP, .EBT, .LNX, .PT, .SOS. Are you sure that you have the right blob file for the stock ROM?

_that is very a knowledgeable person. If he said that he is out of idea, your chances are very low...:(

Good luck....:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
boot.blob sounds like a kernel file to me.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
The last part of the fastboot flash command has to match whatever the file you want to flash is named.

If the extracted system blob is named "blob" without an extension, the command would be 'fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob'

If it is named blob.blob the command would be 'fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob.blob'

etc.

Is the blob file you extracted actually named boot.blob?

You can also try 'fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob' followed by a reboot.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong please....
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I think that your first fastboot command is correct: 'fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob'.

I have not used the staging in fastboot....:( However, you can "dd" the blob to your staging partition, /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 with a reboot....:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
If you can dd it - why not fastboot it? Should be one of a dozen etc pp, shouldn't it?

Would be great if somebody could clarify this because I have been wondering.... I have read people successfully using the 'flash system blob' as well as 'flash staging blob', which lead me to the impression you can use either of these with the same result (????)
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You could grab _that's kernel blob or hund's kernel boot.blob and try it out....:) In the installer script, They extracted them into the staging partition for the next boot any way...;) They don't touch the bootloader or recovery. You can check with _that or Hund to be sure...Good luck...:fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] dan54321:
tanutd Doric

Wow - so many replies in such a shot time!

That's just stupid... hmm.. maybe not, if the intention is, that you can delete your private data even if system is broken....

I did rename it from blob to boot.blob (was following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2538028).

How do I access /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 from fastboot?

I ran:

$ fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging boot.blob
sending 'staging' (800927 KB)...
OKAY [893.525s]
writing 'staging'...
OKAY [234.634s]
finished. total time: 1128.159s

At the end a blue progress bar appeared (no android bot) and finished to the right. The RCK button began to flash again, I used it - "Booting Recovery kernel image. Signature Match." - nothing. After that I shut it down (power-vol) and booted - just the ASUS logo :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
That looks good so far. I never understood what the fastboot implementation on the TF700 did with the target partition you specify on the command line anyway ("staging" is not even in the list returned by fastboot getvar) - since the blob contains one or more partition images with a header that says which image is for which partition. For OTA updates or when flashing the firmware from the recovery, the blob is written to the staging partition, and at the next reboot the bootloader writes the images to the final target partitions (with the blue progress bar).

:( The animated ASUS logo or just the white one from the bootloader?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dan54321:
Unfortunately just the white one (not animated) from the bootloader.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You already did with the fastboot command above so you don't need to dd the blob to your staging partition...:) I guessed that both commands serving the same purpose...:) The good thing is that your bootloader and fastboot are still working...;) _that may have a solution for you... Good luck...:fingers-crossed:

[MENTION=4968172]berndblb[/MENTION]

I guessed that you found the answer for your question above..

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging boot.blob :laugh:
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Unfortunately not. I assume that the recovery and android kernels are now properly installed since the flashing went normally, but I have no idea why they fail to boot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Actually, I had the same issue that it was not booting and only stuck at the Asus booting logo. I believed that two things may cause this issue..:) One is the system is somehow not mounting. Two is the data partition is corrupted. For this case, it is more likely the data partition is corrupted. Maybe, he/she can try to use fastboot to erase the data partition and reinstall the Asus stock blob to see if it boots....:fingers-crossed:

Is there a way to format the data partition with fastboot or ADB?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Reinstalling the blob should not be necessary since it was already flashed successfully.

Wiping data should work with something like "fastboot format data".
[Asus Transformer TF700] dan54321:
Ok - that sounds like there might still be a way. I will try to format the data partition this evening and report.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnslavedEagle:
Hi,

For few weeks I've been struggling with making my Xbox 360 gamepad to work with my ASUS Nexus 7 tablet. I bought an OTG cable and connected my wireless pad via Microsoft receiver. Everything seemed to work, except gamepad deadzones were not set right (I doubt Android devices consider gamepad deadzones at all), thus making all games unplayable: characters or camera kept turning left even when I wasn't touching an analog sticks at all.

I followed the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2492251, the guy who posted it seemed to have worked it out so I gave it a shot. I needed to root the device first, everything worked like a charm. I'm such an idiot I tried and edited Generic.kl file and made changes like the guy in mentioned thread.

Now I don't know what the heck is going on, beacuse hardware keys don't work at all, and I can't type numbers with on-screen keyboard. Which means I have to use my USB cable to even wake the screen, which is ridicilous enough. I found what seems to be an original Generic.kl file from here:

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/cd92588/data/keyboards/Generic.kl

But no matter what I do, I cannot get it to work. My tablet seems to be ignoring any changes that are being made in /system/usr/keylayout.

Also, I don't know why, but I have an empty folder "keylayout" inside /system/usr/keylayout (which makes /system/usr/keylayout/keylayout) and another empty folder "keychars" in /system/usr/keychars.

Everytime I make change in keylayout dir I chmod the file to -rw-r--r-- and perform a mount operation in my Terminal Emulator, which goes:

> su
> mount -o remount,rw /system

I don't know what to do - currently I'm trying to restore a backup of my tablet's data I made before rooting the device, but I'm not too sure it'll help. I'm thinking about installing a custom ROM, but do ROMs affect keylayout files?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] visubversa:
noob here, I did my first root today, and have only been an android user for 2 weeks after defecting from apple since the first iphone. I was a jailbreak veteran of idevices, but I got bored with the stale bread, so I spent my taxmas on a Samsung galaxy s4. Specifically wanting the i9500 version so it would be unlocked to use on net10. I followed the steps from website, and video on Odin. And it looked like it worked perfectly. It wasn't until I tried to my photo gallery app to look at some pictures, and it crashed and wouldn't load. I had the same issue with a business calendar issue app that wouldn't open. I tried clearing system cache on gallery app but no luck. I'm afraid I'm in over my own head now, and might want to restore and start from scratch. The first thing I did after rooting was a full Titanium backup. only things that I installed after root was xposed installer and an app within the installer called swipeback.

I would like to know if there is a fix for this, without having to break away from root? Or if I must,how do I know which stock file I need. I know it's i9500ubueMk1 but there's many different regions.. I bought from a best buy in Charlotte . If there isn't a simple fix to fix why my apps aren't working,then the root does more harm than good, and I wanna go back to normal.

Someone please walk me through this!!

thanks
