[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joch1:
It's my first Android tablet. Decided to have a go at rooting it. All went well until I installed KatKiss 4.4.4. Couldn't connect to wifi at all, although could connect fine with the laptop.

A tablet without the internet is barely worth using, so I decided to try going back to a stock ROM and that's where I managed to totally brick it. Can't boot up into recovery, can't get past the Asus screen with the rotating icon.

Somebody gave me this tablet for nothing, and I really don't want to tell them I wrecked it permanently. This forum is my last hope 'cos I'm outta ideas and fed up to the back teeth with this. I can't even turn the wretched thing off.

Just to add, the tablet was originally from Canada, although I'm in the UK. Didn't really know what firmware version to install, so I tried the WW (WorldWide) one - obviously the wrong choice. It's buggered up everything.

Edit: Hey guys, I got recovery back >_>. Can't post links as a new user, but Frederuco's guides on the Transformer forums really helped me out. Decided to go back to KatKiss rather than risk bricking my tablet all over again. Still have no wifi connection, but oh well. For now... >_>
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
Was about to suggest Easyflasher for unbricking, but since you already managed, check Settings > WifI > Menu 3 dots > Advanced

make sure the Wifi regulatory domain is set correctly for your country

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RiG14LA:
Reaching out for some help... I'm stuck at this point. I need to get a recovery working. Preferably cwm at this point. All other questions I found when searching were users on previous versions of Android and honestly the whole baseband build thing confuses it. I can still boot to the normal phone and use it as usual but I do want to get a working recovery again.

Device: I337 / Rooted

Android: 4.4.4

Baseband: I337UCUAMF3

Rom: Cyanogenmod Nightly 8/6/14

Kernel: 3.4.0-cyanogenmod-g433243c / build01@cyanogenmod #1 / Wed Aug 6 2014

I was on TWRP and tried flashing to CWM with Rashr. I did this because TWRP was not compatible with the new CM nightlies.

Recovery now only boots to: "System software not authorized by ATT has been found on your phone"

Is there a way I can get a working recovery going now?

Help is appreciated.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
did you flash loki-doki after CWM and before reboot?

I never had issues with TWRP 2.5.0.2 and have latest Cm M9--
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RiG14LA:
No I'm totally unfamiliar with Loki as I've never had to deal with it. I never had any issues before this. I guess the TWRP that I had it was already built in?

Is that still an option now? ROM Manager is showing that I have both CWM and TWRP on my phone. I'd be fine with getting rid of TWRP and just using CWM. If I reload CWM in ROM Manager could I then do Loki?

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
You're probably going to have to use Odin and start all over again. If you're able to use twrp or cwm recovery you're on mdl firmware. You can get that at sammobile.com. Extract it with 7-zip or winrar and use the .tar.md5 in Odin. You'll have to re-root and put your custom recovery back on. Back everything up before starting as Odin will wipe your device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
Here is the loki zip flashable in recovery.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yhrq0tia8512rj9/AAB3C9mLkMe_WeHQgP4QHiKra/loki-doki.zip

I haven't used or kept up with CWM for several years. So, don't know if it loki's a rom/kernel if dev hasn't loki'd rom/kernel.

You can Google loki-doki. But it is how we on MDL can flash custom roms/recoveries/kernels and those above MDL can't. It bypasses Sammy's security and allows kernel to flash. Newer builds are locked down and no similar exploit has been developed yet for them.

Once you get sorted as jd mentioned, use it right before you reboot. Doesn't hurt even if rom/kernel is not loki'd.

:good::good:

BTW, you didn't have issues before bc most att roms esp TW are loki'd--:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RiG14LA:
Thanks guys.

So it seems like I have no choice but to start over completely since I can't get into recovery to flash Loki. Which sucks since I have no idea about the current procedures for rooting and getting recovery. It was pretty messy when I first got my S4 last year.

I almost want to just leave my phone as is and wait to buy a nexus 6 :cyclops:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
It's not so bad. Use Odin to get your system up and running again. Then use this to root and get a custom recovery on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41892523
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
Yes it just takes studying. I used Mottochopper also, very good. When you are done, I do recommend TWRP 2.5.0.2. Also, if you are flashing kernels always wipe caches before rebooting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] iateshaggy:
if it has mf3 baseband i'm pretty sure you will have to use safestrap and a touchwiz rom. no cyanogen or cwm or twrp.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
OP has MDL build his radio "baseband" is mf3. He can flash any radio he wants after rooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
He's using twrp and cm. Baseband is most likely from the cm version here's on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RiG14LA:
I just remembered I made a recovery backup in Rashr before trying to go to CWM. So I restored that in Rashr and am now back on TWRP 2.7.0.1.

This is great but I still want to be able to flash the new CM11 nightlies and TWRP isn't compatible with CMs new kernel.

Are you guys familiar with this situation?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
When did that start. As I said I flashed M9 a few days ago with 2.5.0.2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] RiG14LA:
The 8/8 or 8/9 nightly.

Another question...what would happen if I flash CWM with TWRP? Would CWM just over write TWRP and be my active recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
Yes I change recoveries as needed but have been on current for awhile. Read up on flashing CWM to be sure you know of any issues and exact steps. If it is a zip no issues should be encountered. Never liked to use Rom MGR.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
Read last 7 pages of cm11 thread. They talked about changing updater script of cm rom. If you flash CWM recovery zip remember to flash loki before rebooting. Uncheck sig check in twrp before flashing CWM. You can't restore twrp nandroid with CWM and vice versa. They list a flashable CWM zip there too.

Also, My M9 milestone seems to be last stable build--many reboots etc on recent nightlies. But, that is part of the game with nightlies. As I "age" I need more stable roms--less stress--;)

---------- Post added at 11:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 PM ----------

Oh, the salvation of nandroids--:good::good:

I used an app like Rashr long time ago, but didn't like it. Maybe not a bad idea to have it and keep a backup just in case--:)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saayinla:
Hi All,

I have just got my tab 8.4" from the US and wondering if there are any preferences for roms, mainly intrested in root and debloating mainly.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Satorikn:
There are not many Custom Roms at this point.

Developers are still figuring out Exynos (drivers and such), so development will be slower than devices with Snapdragon.

You can find the couple available for both WiFi (T700) and LTE (T705) on the Android Development Forums.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saayinla:
Hi, Thanks for taking the time to reply, what would you advise assuming you have one of these, do I just root and block ads for now or flash a rom and hope for the best?

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenkiller:
Root, play around with xposed mods. Custom roms are not essential at this point
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edan1979:
there is currently no custom. the one that i compile for t705 are only a debloated roms with minor tweak...
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
From another point of view. ...

Your ROM is still "custom" using a modified Samsung base. Other CM AOSP etc are "custom" using a modified Google base.

The use of the word "stock" and "official" probably go hand in hand. :)

Edit: back OT, I suggest the OP to read up on the instructions thoroughly given by each ROM Dev/cook before flashing. Back up your important data off device first ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pitbullmomma:
I have a Galaxy S3 I535 unlocked Verizon phone running Android 4.4.2 and the kernel date is May 20th 2014. Not sure if that helps out anyone knowledge wise, but there ya go. Anywho, I am new to this and need to know how to get to stock Android. I don't use Verizon service, would like to get the bloatware off the phone including the crapola Samsung software as well, My husband keeps telling to leave well enough alone but I did pay for the phone would like to customize to my liking.

I have researched different videos on Saferoot, read about some of this stuff and I am kind of afraid that I will brick the phone because I am completely 100 percent noob to this. I guess we all start somewhere. I should update to a S4 unlocked but I am not rolling in the dough just yet.

If someone could help walk me through it, or just tell me if its even possible to root the phone that would help. I appreciate any and all advice.

Ok I got my phone rooted, I checked it with Root Checker. I also got some bloatware off the phone. Thanks to everyone that helped me do that!!

Now another question how do I get a STOCK version of Android 4.4? Or can I roll to a different version of Android say 4.3? I hate Touchwiz, I think its making my phone lag a bit.

I have a little bit of screen stutter when you scroll through like the settings or when I play CCrush and the candies fall down the screen, it might hesitate a fraction of a second. Its basically like the scroll stutter. Will getting a stock rom on the phone fix that? I know I am in need of a new battery because it runs down kinda quick.

I bought the phone used, no scratches or scrapes but whoever had it before me took care of it but its just an older phone. S3-I535 of course. I just would like to make it run not like a new one but close to a new one if possible?

Also thanks again to everyone that helped me with rooting the phone. I hate all that VZW crap. I run off ATT now, wish that I could make it come up with that stuff but I am no where near advanced enough to even try doing that. I would just love to make it look like my Nexus 7 2012.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
If your on the baseband of NE1 then no you can't rollback to an earlier version. As it would be a nice option you are unable to do so. There is one other rom you can flash but you'd have to utilize safestrap. And I agree VZWs ways of doing things are completely out in left field. They think and do whatever they want and hold us customers with a strangle hold.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pitbullmomma:
Yeah I have NE1 and since some of what you said makes sense, some doesn't I am guessing I will have to stick with what I have unless I wanna trade in my phone for a unlocked version that has never seen VZW or ATT or any company at all. I should have done that to begin with but at the time I didn't have funds.

Heck, Id even go for a S4 or S3 Mini as long as it wasn't branded by some corporation. No I am not one of those that damn everything LOL. So I can only go with a stock rom of 4.4.2? That is ok I guess. I was watching a Youtube video of someone flashing a S3 to a rom, looked like he had just bought the phone. I think it was a link that I found here on this site. Thanks everyone for helping this noob housewife.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Not a problem, we all can help in one way or another. Yea there is a 4.4.2 rom in here for those who are locked down to VZW, here it is.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2805797

And sadly neither VZW or AT&T versions are unlocked and with the newest update on the vzw s3 (it's a small update) It patches towelroot and you will no longer be able to root.

Mine initially came with 4.1.2 and knowing how VZW is I rooted and unlocked immediately. I didn't take any OTA updates and I can flash nearly anything but Yea I agree with the not having money part

Ok so will I get off easily flashing like the guy in the video I watched? He did it all from the phone that I could see, he booted into Odin mode (android laying on its back) and wiped data, wiped something else, installed from sd and it booted back like a brand new phone just out of the box.

Or is there another bunch of steps that I will have to do first before I even begin to flash?

Something else, the stutter that I am getting when scrolling, I have fooled around n the dev options like I have read on here to do and I am still noticing some stutter. It says on Samsung's site that I am still under warranty (if I unroot it) and I guess I could send it to them but who knows what it will cost or if it will even fix it. Its not terrible and as long as it doesn't get worse I can deal with it until I can afford a S4 if that time ever comes.

It makes some of the graphics a bit stuttery as well, like when the swirling Samsung logo comes up on boot.

Thanks again yall, everyone has been so nice and helpful!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ShapesBlue:
Sadly that video only applies if you utilize the jtag service which can bring you back to Android version 4.1.2 which then unlocks the ability to unlock the bootloader letting you flash roms if your choosing as long as they don't say "locked bootloader" in the thread. I'd suggest doing this in developer options, see screenshot

Okay well u can relock the bootloader and run a ruu on Windows. Or u can go to recovery and go to install there you will see adb sideload u plug your phone to usb and adb sideload the Rom.

If your on Windows you probably got a adb/fastboot folder so put the zip u want to flash in there and open command prompt and type adb sideload thezipsname.zip. It's easier than completely wiping everything with ruu.

Let me know how it goes.

ok i went into recovery and tried adb side load and all it did was booted back to white htc android screen i tried to lock bootloader and my pc doesnt recognize my phone now im really lost what to do as i was in recovery it kept poping up about my super user not being installed but i couldnt even install that .

What recovery are you using?

Did u lock it or it does not recognize it now that you tried adb sideload?

You can try to wipe and install one of the roms from recovery.

But your computer should see the phone if u put it in bootloader mode once there plug it in and type fastboot devices. It should show up. On the phone you should see it say fastboot usb. If u don't see that push the power button and then you should see it.

Also if HTC sync is installed uninstall it.
