Thanks for this method, but I am a bit confused, and yes I read 150+ posts here...

it would be nice if tell me or give me idea what I should do just gain root for 4.4.4.

Mine is Stock NC2, Rooted, 4.4.2. Of course I freezed software OTA update because of 4.4.4 no root possibility.

What I should do to keep the root but also get OTA 4.4.4?

by the way, I don't have safestrap installed (because I was not planing to flash any custom ROM)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Hoyt Thompson:
You Need To;

Install safe strap

Place the keep root file onto the root of your extsd

Reboot into safe strap recovery

Install the keep root file

Then boot into download mode

Hook your phone up to a computer running Odin 3.09 or 3.10

Flash the kernel in the AP slot of Odin

Reboot

Give the device about 5 minutes to update and settle in

Enjoy
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] carl1961:
If you already have safestrap and can use it then install the deodoxed rom that muniz_ri already has in OP for NC2 users to install.

I successfully got to rooted NJ5. I had to Odin back to stock NC2 - it took some tinkering, but stock NC2 finally took and I was able to flash NJ5 and root and load up SafeStrap. Everything is running fine. Something strange happened this morning.

I tried to boot into SafeStrap this morning to do a backup. I went into my the SafeStrap app and "booted to Recovery", and my phone simply rebooted!

I downloaded RootChecker, and it tells me that my phone is indeed rooted, but the SafeStrap app wont take me to he Recovery menu.

Can anyone help me?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] K-alz:
If you're on NJ5 then that's why. If on NC2 then try installing SS 3.72 and see what happens.

from my note 3
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TeldenW:
Just checked my SafeStrap app... I've already got 3.72. That's what I tried in my detailed post above.

You think I should try uninstalling and re-installing?

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Waynehead69:
If we are on NC2 (100% stock, rooted) should we use SS 3.72 or 3.75?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TeldenW:
You need to use 3.72.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Waynehead69:
3.72

Does anyone have a link for 3.72? All that I see in this thread is 3.75. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

As shocking it might sound it is true, i have accidently discovered it yesterday. It is a bit wonky, i had few issues playing some videos on full screen but generally it works just as on 4.0+.

You dont need hacked flash player. :D

1. Download and install latest Firefox: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox&hl=en

2. Download latest official Flash Player .apk and install it: http://download.macromedia.com/pub/...roid/11.1.115.81/install_flash_player_ics.apk

3. Go to Firefox Settings/Customize/Display/Plugins and choose enabled.

4. Start Flash Player and choose Firefox as default browser

4. Enjoy Flash content on Android 5.0

You need Firefox, it didn't worked for me on Chrome and Dolphin. :good:

Why would Google enable Flash (indirectly/directly) when it is discontinued and html5 is in place?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] iopxiang:
yes, but based on adobe air
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mirhl:
The question is: why google should block it? It's a normal program like others..

If you want it you install it, otherwise peace.

Besides, some content providers just use flash for videos.. regardless of the existence of html5
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] vikraminside:
One possible reason could be stoppage of support for security updates in Android devices from Adobe.

Hi,

Following works for me -ics flash player installed 11.1.....

Latest version of firefox - In your devices Settings ->Apps ->Firefox. Clear data.

When you restart Firefox later it may not work but then just go back in and clear data again.

Bit weird this works so wondering if installing and later uninstalling Flashfox/Proton had anything to do with it.

Hope this helps someone.

[General Questions and Answers] MetalMagic86:
So I'm huge into customizing my interfaces, no matter what platform, and for a long time I've been looking for a launcher or app for android that will allow me to rotate/tilt my screen to view a different desktop. I don't think I'm alone in that I typically hold my phone or tablet upright the majority of the time and the rest of the time I'm paying games or watching videos. I'd like to see a different set of apps and widgets based on the orientation, does something like this exist?

I'd settle for a launcher that would allow a different layout for the same apps and widgets if this isn't doable (ex. 5 x 9 grid in portrait mode, 9 x 5 grid in landscape mode) as currently if I allow rotation the arrangement can only really look correct from one angle. I've done my research and tried the majority of launchers on the Play market, currently I'm using Nova Launcher Prime but it doesn't have this functionality.

Thanks for taking a second to indulge my insanity.
[Asus Transformer TF701] dape16:
I know there are threads on this problem with other Transformer pads, but I am wondering if anyone had this problem with the TF701 (WW)?

I just get the message about "Unknown error, might be network connection..."

Of course my network connection is fine, and I am using the unlock tool found at ASUS support site for the TF701. That is version 8.

I have tried this a couple of days, many times per day, it just gives me the same error.

I have read people with other Transformer models who contacted ASUS and gave them their serial numbers and MAC-addresses, which seems to solve the problem in some cases.

Others are refering to ASUS devicetracker (devicetracker.asus.com) which seems to be taken down, or is it just available in US?

I called ASUS, they never heard of the problem.

I am thankful for any help!
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
I think you ended up downloading the unlock tool for the TF700, not TF701. The latter only has one tool, version 1.

The former has the v8 ;)
[Asus Transformer TF701] dape16:
Thanks, but version 8 is the right one. It's just called v 1.0 on ASUS TF701 support site. :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Ok, in that case just keep trying. For some people it literally took 40 -50 tries and it worked all the sudden.

At the same time register your tablet on Asus VIP service, then conatct them and explain your problem.

The mismatched database entries was a big problem for many TF700 owners - haven't heard anything like that for the TF701 ever.

Send them a screenshot of your About Tablet page with each mail and ask them to check their database and correct the entry for your tablet.

Good luck
[Asus Transformer TF701] dape16:
Thanks, I will do as you suggest and contact them via the support form instead of calling.

And I will continue hitting that button. :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] NexusGazer:
I just wanted to put in my two cents here. I've been having the same issues with the bootloader unlock tool for the last 3 months. I've called customer support numerous times and been told too bad. We don't support that. We don't care. I bought this tablet for its vast power but I am not even allowed to experience its full potential. I am deeply disappointed in Asus. It has been nothing but problems with this thing but through patience some have resolved themselves.

You're suggestion may have been the light at the end of my tunnel. I have never hears of the VIP support until now. I have done the same, registered and sent them a ticket request. I uploaded a screenshot of the screen saying password incorrect.

Here's hoping this can finally be resolved. If this fixes it, I'll be sure to tell everyone that's still having problems with the tool.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Yes, officially Asus does not provide any support as soon as yu mention "unlock". That's why people were telling them thry could not get registered for Asus Device Tracker (same problem: no s# in Asus database = no device tracker).

The VIP service people seem to be a little more receptive than general support. But it really depends on who happens to read your mail...

That's why you want to be persistent. Turn yorself into a polite and friendly PITA and don't forget to attach a screenshot to each mail you send.
[Asus Transformer TF701] dape16:
Do you get "password incorrect"?

I think you have to turn off two factor login on your Google account. You may also have to log in to your Google account website and turn on "allow unsecured apps".
[Asus Transformer TF701] dape16:
Does Device Tracker exist anymore?
[Asus Transformer TF701] NexusGazer:
Unfortunately, I have not used 2 step verification. Ever. As for the "3rd party apps" box, I tick that box first with each new android device :D
[Asus Transformer TF701] dape16:
I am not talking about the "Unknown sources" in Android. :)

I don't know the exact description since English is not my first language, but if you log in to for an example Gmail, then go to your Google account up to the right, you will find an option for allowing "unsecure apps".

I hope it was understandable. :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] NexusGazer:
I think I found what you're referring to. It's in the Google account management section. It's the area where you can make your internet experience immune to Google's pull. You can edit adsense settings, see your entire Google history, YouTube videos you've viewed all sorts of stuff. It's really cool, but unfortunately the boot loader unlock tool doesn't come up in that list of apps. That list consists of third party apps that have all already gained access.

If you're referring to yet a different screen, maybe a screenshot would be helpful?
[Asus Transformer TF701] dape16:
If you are not using two-factor authentication this link should work:

https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps

And some info:

http://www.ghacks.net/2014/07/21/gmail-starts-block-less-secure-apps-enable-access/

But at least it seems you have access to ASUS servers when you got the "incorrect password" message. :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] NexusGazer:
Had no idea. Just clicked enable. I'm going to give it a shot. See you on the other side?
[Asus Transformer TF701] NexusGazer:
Now this is where I stand. :mad: Guess I'm still stuck on this side for a little while longer. :(

I think I was getting the incorrect password screen because Google was denying the Asus app access.
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Yeah, this looks like the classic database mismatch problem. Keep trying to use the app and contact Asus.

It really depends on who you happen to talk/email to. So don't give up. Just read about someone who bought an unlocked TF701 on ebay which was totally messed up and he/she got an RMA approved without any problem...

Ask for a supervisor, escalate it... If you're willing to give up your warranty - why should they care?
[Asus Transformer TF701] NexusGazer:
So I walked away from it. Came back and for sh**s and giggles I hit the button and BOOM the lock on my bootloader was blown wide the freak open. :D
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Told ya ;)
[Asus Transformer TF701] dape16:
Glad I could help. :)
[Asus Transformer TF701] NexusGazer:
Now my question is, what's the best ROM to unleash this beast? Do I go with CM11? or is there something better for power?
[Asus Transformer TF701] dape16:
Today ASUS answered and told me that the problem is that the repair shop changed my mainboard and sat an incorrect serial number (when it was sent in for dock problems and loose front glass). So I have to send it in again.

Looking at the service report I see that they have only changed parts in the keyboard dock. The tablet also reports the same serial number and MAC-address as before the repairs. The serial number also matches the one on the box. So I find it unlikely that they have even changed the mainboard.

Since they didn't correct the loose front glass when it was in for reparis, well, I guess it's best to send it back while I still have warranty anyway. Sigh...
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Shows how little they know.... What needs to be changed is their database. All it takes is a few keystrokes - and somebody who knows where and why. Which probably is the bigger problem.

---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

It's unleashed already! :)

There's a total of 3 custom roms for this tablet. Not much trouble to try them all, but don't expect big performance improvements. It's going pretty darn well even on stock.....
[Asus Transformer TF701] jackieku:
I had similar issue, and solved by factory reseting(unlock will do this either) and *not login Google*.
[Asus Transformer TF701] dape16:
Thanks for the idea, but I have tried that too a couple of times. I am pretty sure I have the same ASUS database problem that many TF700 had, since I can not register my device at the ASUS Device Tracker site.
[Asus Transformer TF701] dape16:
Update:

After been waiting for a month, I got it back from the service shop. They had changed the mainboard and "I/O board". It still has got the same serial number, I guess they can program the old serial number to the new mainboard.

In my problem description I wrote that I couldn't use ASUS Device Tracker or the ASUS Bootloader unlock tool. (That's why customer support told me to send it in again).

Do you think that it works now? Of course not. I guess it would be way too much to ask if you expect them to really try if it works before sending it back.

On the service note it just says: "Problem: System unstable, touch misaction". I don't know where they got this from, but it is not a word anywhere about my actual problems.

So back to customer support now, great...
[Asus Transformer TF701] Sleeepy2:
You do know that the Device Tracker will never work with this right...

It says on the web site

You are on 4.4 so it will not work.

[Asus Transformer TF701] dape16:
What to say about ASUS customer service?

Opened a case January 8th when I got it back from the workshop with the same problem. I kindly asked them to look into the problem with missing serial numbers in their databases since I have read about other people with this problem.

Got an answer four days later (12th) that they are going to research the problem.

A week later (20th) I asked about the progress with my case. I got an reply today that it has been taken over by level 2 customer support and they think the problem is that the workshop has changed the motherboard without setting the original serial number. They are now waiting for an answer from the workshop.

Where is the logic in that? I have a problem, they tell me to send it to workshop which doesn't fix it, and now ASUS thinks the workshop has caused the original problem?

Btw the serial nr that my TF701 reports is the same as the original serial nr on my box and on the workshop report.
[Asus Transformer TF701] dape16:
Another week without an answer and now they tell me to send it back to the service shop again.
[Asus Transformer TF701] dproffitt:
Gmail is not needed to unlock a TF-701T

This is an old thread by now, but I am posting this for any new folks trying to unlock a TF701. My experiences yesterday were similar to many others:

1 - disabled Google's 2-step verification

2 - called Asus (again don't say unlock, that kills the deal)

3 - tried and tried but was not patient enough to go for the 100 or more attempts reported by others to work

Finally I followed advice given by a guy that was going through the same torture with a TF301 I think. What works is to delete the Google account on the tablet, and then use the Asus unlock tool. The program will say that it notices that you don't have a Gmail address and will ask if you want to proceed. That was it. The program went ahead and unlocked right after that, and I was able to complete the root.

The way I look at it there was no downside to this. I knew the process was going to completely wipe the previous install anyway so the work involved to re-do the install was the same regardless. I hope this can save others the agony of losing 4 hours trying to get the unlock tool to work as intended.
[Asus Transformer TF701] xboxorcist:
Dproffitt I havent had any success with unlocking my tablet. I get the famous "an unknown error occurs, which may be a network connection issue. Please wait and try again later" I have contacted ASUS they told me they shut the server down that deals with the bootloader unlocking. He claimed it has been down for 2-3 years...wtf? Anyways when did you acheive unlock?
[Asus Transformer TF701] berndblb:
Look at the date of the post...

I know of several people who unlocked just a few weeks ago. The Asus reps don't know what they are talking about, as usual.

Factory reset the tablet, delete the Google account, and try the tool again.

And keep trying....
