[Asus Transformer TF701] talion777:
I am trying to go through the process of flashing a custom recovery so that I can get off of stock and on to a custom rom. I have gone through the following steps:

1) downloaded the latest drivers

2) downloaded the latest version of fastboot

3) downloaded twrp 2.8.1.0 and checked the MD5 for the program

4) enabled the usb debugging, signed on as an administrator in my pc, and am using a 2.0 usb port

5) have verified the conenction between tablet and PC.

I get the following result:

C:\>fastboot devices

15C3E100910000000XXXXXXXX fastboot (I edited out a few numbers and replaced them with with x's, but got a pure result)

C:\>fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob

target reported max download size of 643825664 bytes

sending 'recovery' (7024 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.964s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 0.241s]

finished. total time: 1.213s

C:\>fastboot reboot

rebooting...

finished. total time: 0.021s

The recovery is not actually flashing over to the device. When I attempt the flash I do a fastboot reboot and power down afterwards, then try to boot back up to the recovery and instead I get the bried vision of the android and the blue bar underneath before it's promptly replaced by the dead android. The twrp.blob file is in the same directory as fastboot. I have tried deleting and re-downloading both the blob file and the drivers. I have tried using 2.8.0.1 and 2.8.1.0. Because TWRP wasn't working I tried flashing CWM and got exactly the same result. There doesn't seem to be an issue with the cable, since I can move other forms of data between the devices with no issue. I'm beating my head against the wall here, and am hoping that you guys might be able to provide me with some direction as to what else I might try/look for. Thanks all.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
Are you sure you are using the correct recovery for your device? There is no version of TWRP that works with the TF701T.
[Asus Transformer TF701] talion777:
I had been advised that the version for the TF700 would also work with the TF701T. However, I did use a CWM version specific to the TF701T with the same result you saw in the command window in my OP.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
I am not sure who told you that but it is 100% wrong.

I am also not sure what the commands that you are sending are however you should just be doing

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Get the recovery from this link

http://droidbasement.com/asus/tf701t/recovery/
[Asus Transformer TF701] talion777:
Thanks Sleeepy, but as I mentioned in the OP I did the flash for the CWM recovery already, using exactly the link you sent me, with the exact same commands, and with the same results. No go.

P.P.S. - also tried juggling around the MTP and PTP modes (plug/unplug while on/off) to ensure recognition and it seems fine both ways. Someone else had said they freed up their drivers that way but it made no difference on my end.

P.S. - Here, just so that you see, here are the command window results for th CWM recovery, just for clarity's sake:

C:\adb 2>fastboot devices

15C3E100910000000XXXXXXXX fastboot

C:\adb 2>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
That's really odd.

I just downloaded the most recent version and tried re-flashing just to make sure and I had no issues...

Can you boot the recovery without flashing it?

fastboot boot recovery.img

Sorry, this defiantly not strong point but I will try to help.
[Asus Transformer TF701] talion777:
yes, I can boot the recovery. Am I able to use the temp image to install the recovery into the tablet, or to import the files I need to do so?
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
The temp image will work just like normal.
[Asus Transformer TF701] talion777:
except that I will always need to be connected to my PC to use it. How do I actually make that the default recovery in my tablet? It just seems bizarre to me that I can boot the image but that I can't flash it. Also, assuming I used the image to flash a custom ROM what happens when the temp image is shut off and the recovery reverts to stock? Would the ROM work with a stock recovery?

Was able to use the CWM image to install SuperSU and root the tablet. Still can't get the recovery to flash over.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
Wait... what version of bootloader do you have?

You are unlocked and updated to the most recent ASUS version right...
[Asus Transformer TF701] talion777:
I'm on 11.4.1.17, and yes I'm on the latest ASUS update.
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
Damn... that was my last guess. You need to get the attention of someone smarter than me like pershoot or berndblb

Sorry I can't help any better.
[Asus Transformer TF701] talion777:
Thanks Sleeepy, you've already been a big help and I really appreciate the effort!
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Just for kicks try to flash the CWM image with this:

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img

The vendor ID should not be necessary - but it certainly wouldn't hurt to try....

And post the exact output please.
[Asus Transformer TF701] talion777:
You sir, would appear to be a genius. CWN successfully flashed to the tab. Excellent! Thanks so very much to both you and Sleeepy for your help. This was driving me absolutely bananas!
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
God damn it. You step in with one comment and boom, like magic it works :p

And [MENTION=5947673]talion777[/MENTION] glad you've got it working now
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
A lucky guess.. LOL

Actually I worked with talion on the Transformer forums on his problem, so it was not quite as magical as it may sound. [emoji56]
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhercog:
I rooted my phone and then unrooted it in order to update on Sense 6. Everything went well with unroot procedure except superuser app stays in app tray. Since then the phone is locked and on stock. Now I need to return the damn thing because of bad camera. I tried to remove superuser app by deleting system/apps/superuser.apk and system/xbin/su in ES File Explorer but it said that those files cannot be deleted. I also tried to uninstall the app through Google Play but that didn't work either.

I realise that there probably won't be any left options except to reroot my phone, deleting superuser app and then unroot again but I have to ask is there any way to remove it without reroot?

I'm scared of reroot because I don't know would I be able to unroot again and put the phone back on stock ready for service or RMA. I'm on Sense 6 (6.09.401.10), Android version 4.4.3. The phone is still under warranty.

Please help with any available info. I'm noob at this so I even don't know where should i start or what questions to ask.

Anyone on this?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
You need root to access those system folders, only thing I can suggest is Factory Reset from the settings menu. If that doesn't work try factory reset from Stock recovery and even the bootloader factory reset is worth a try.

Not sure it will help though I don't think it touches the system partitions.

What method did you use to s-off your device originally?

If you found my posts helpful, Please click thanks :good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhercog:
I did factory reset from boot loader menu and tried to delete those files again but that didn't work.

I don't know how to do factory reset from Stock Recovery. Would you care to explain?

To be honest, I don't remember how did I get s-off originally.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danny201281:
Boot to the bootloader and Select "Recovery" the screen will go black for a short period then display a picture of a phone with red exclamation. Don't worry it's normal.

Hold volume up and press (don't hold just press) power to reveal the stock recovery menu, you will see some errors about can't mount sd card again this is normal in stock recovery.

The reason I asked about s-off method was if you used Sunshine you can use it again on the same device without paying the fee. But if you have to root again you will need s-off to return to stock. And there's no guarantees the older (free) methods will work now your updated to the latest firmware.

If you found my posts helpful, Please click thanks :good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhercog:
Well, that doesn't work. Still stuck with SuperSu in my app drawer.

Sunshine method doesn't ring any bells to me. I didn't use it most probably.

So, I probably have to reroot, unlock, s-off to be able to uninstall SuperSu? Any advices on doing that on my firmware? Would I be able to relock, unroot and s-on again?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhercog:
Would it be possible to use something like Z4Root app to temporary root the device and then uninstall SuperSu? Or root/unlock/s-off method is necessary?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhercog:
Does anybody have a safe method for removing SuperSu under these circumstances and is willing to explain it in details so noob like me can understand it and do it by himself?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
Outside of what Danny201281 stated there is really not much you can do except go thru root again to remove the files. There is one long shot that might work; go to Google Play Store > My Apps and scroll down to see if SuperSU is present. Click on it and see if the Uninstall option is there. Other than that sorry, I'm out of ideas.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaporjet:
Under Settings for SuperSU, doesn't it have an option for Full Unroot?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhercog:
Yeah I tried that but that doesn't work either.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhercog:
I can't launch SuperSu because there is no SU binary installed.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaporjet:
Doesn't sound right that SuperSU can survive a factory reset, unless it is baked in. Are you sure you're running a stock ROM?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhercog:
Yes, because OTA updates are working as expected. As far as I know, I wouldn't be able to receive and install OTA updates if I would run anything other than stock ROM.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhercog:
Anybody have some good advice or link (preferably detailed step by step instructions) on how to safely root under these conditions, remove SuperSu and then unroot back to stock?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] giorgior.vip:
Hello there,

I have a Galaxy Nexus (GSM) that has a rebooting problem (after having loaded the OS for 10-20 seconds, it reboots itself), so I decided to unlock it's booloader and try to flash a CM rom (to see if maybe it fixes it). Like standard procedure I connected the device in fastboot mode, opened the terminal and typed

. I clicked YES on the phone's confirmation request, and instantly it went back to the Main Menu with the "LOCK STATE" changed to UNLOCKED. So I thought it was unlocked. I flashed a custom recovery (TWRP) succesfully, but then when I clicked on the phone "REBOOT RECOVERY"... it rebooted into STOCK RECOVERY!!! And the worst part is that after having rebooted the bootloader... THE "LOCK STATE" WAS BACK TO "LOCKED"!!!!!!!!!!!!:confused::confused::confused::confused::eek:

Therefore (considered that I believe that the bootloader unlocking process was way too fast) I don't think I actually unlocked the bootloader and flashed the custom recovery.

I already tried rebooting the pc, changing usb port, and using various toolkits... but nothing. What should I do? Could anyone please help me fix this?

Thank you

PERFORMA V5 FOR TIPO DUAL!!​

I was looking recently for some New ROMs for Xperia Tipo Dual, but since I didn't find much, I thought of importing one!

So, and without any late, Here's The screenshots (Tipo Dual): (see attachments)

ROM Specifications:

-same as PERFORMA V5 For tipo, refer to the thread to know more about ROM Fea-tures

-Unlike Performa V5, this ROM has FULL language Support! (all languages are included, no need to worry about anything!)

-Costomizable SystemUI from settings

-Default/ invert memories select option

-Blazing faaaaast!

Download link:

-First To Allah for helping me in my hole life! (not just android Development)

-Gerr_kpo for his COOL ROM

-Aditya_Benny For his SystemUI

HIT THANKS IF YOU LIKE MY WORK!!

Soooo... any testers??? ;)

I love Z1 rom which you have developed.

But i m ready to test your this rom too..;)

But for that please give me some time.:angel:

i will share you the result after testing the rom.:laugh:
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] akramhadji:

hey guys!

did anyone test the ROM?

the ROM is downloaded 100 times! but no reviews, no feedback :rolleyes:

at least give me the ROM bugs :( hope you like the ROM

I have tested the ROM. Everything is working fine but the UI is not i like that much. Its to simple.

I love the Lust Rom :-p

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] GioGr:
awesome work thank you very much :)

few notes

the slide lock screen has a "graphical bug" at the bottom

news and weather from google not needed :p

is there any way to turn off the invisibility for max performance? :silly:

EDIT:the mass storage option from the quickpanel does not work, when i connect it to pc with that option it shows nothing

will also search for these at the original rom

EDIT2:Can u give any guide u used or info on what u changed to make it compatible with our tipo dual?

reading few guides now but i dont think they do for our tipo to tipo dual port :P, ty
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] akramhadji:
mmmmm, ok

the lock screen seems to work on Xperia Tipo single only (don't know why till now :( )

news & weather app is included in the original ROM, I didn't pay attention for that, sorry

-for the Xperia tipo dual import, I'm thinking of making a guide, because importing a tipo single ROM to tipo dual needs some logic, Build.prop & systemUI for tipo dual, and some framework changes

I've imported 3 Xperia tipo single ROMs for tipo dual till now, but I've posted this one only (will post more soon :good:)

and yes, some features for tipo single might not work for tipo dual because of the framework (Xperia tipo & tipo dual are having some differences in framework) and that's the main cause for too many mods not working on tipo dual

I hope we will find a solution :)
