Device unusable after problem flashing recovery

Coming from CM11 I wanted to go to CM12 but there was a problem with flashing Clockwork Recovery 6.5.0.1: while trying to flash nothing happened for about 30 minutes. Now the device does not start any more. There is only the message "The Device is UnLocked", that's all. Even pressing Power & Volume- does not work. It hangs at the same message, no chance to get it into recovery or fastboot mode. When connecting to PC, the device manager shows it as "Asus Transformer Prime ADB Interface" and with "adb devices" I get "015d2a508a23fa0a unauthorized". But when I try to do something like "adb reboot fastboot" I get the error "error: device unauthorized. Please check the confirmation dialog on your device." But the device is dead, it cannot show any dialogs...

Is it possible to bring the tablet back to life or is it just electronic scrap?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
If you can't get into the bootloader and you can't get into APX mode to flash your NVFLASH backups then the device is dead. :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] fw2wf:
Thank you for the quick answer! Bootloader is dead but APX mode is working. Never heard of APX mode before... I successfully installed APX USB Driver and downloaded NVFLASH but I doesn't have any MVFLASH backups and no idea how to use NVFLASH. I searched a little but only read that NVFLASH cannot help when device is already bricked. Is there a chance to bring the device back to life?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Sorry you must have taken backups first with nvflash before bricking. There is no way to restore retrospectively if you do not have backups and they are specific for your device.

I followed the instructions on this thread, everything seemed to go as planned. But now when I power up the tablet, the first screen shows the logo and and that it is unlocked, then it goes away and nothing happens after that. I can't get it to boot into bootloader or recovery. Help please, anyone....I'm not sure what to do next.

Need help installing CM12

hi,

hope someone can help. I've never done anything like this before, so rooting my tablet and installing something new is over my head. My TF700T is laggy as hell using stock os and I'm trying to follow the instructions to install CM12 LOLLIPOP OS here http://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf700/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-0-t3006624 and I'm pretty sure I've downloaded all the right stuff. I've got the files:

recovery-lp-6.5.0.1

cm-12-20150204-EXPERIMENTAL-JRUESGA-tf700t

gapps-lpmr1-20150324-signed

I've turned on the developer options on my tablet, wiped it, the 3 files are on my microsd and when I press my power + volume down I go into the boot loader. I get the 3 icons, rck, android, and wipe data. I select the rck and it says that it finds the recovery file, the window changes and says installing and then it stops and all it says is error with the android bot lying on its back. What am I missing? Any help would be great. Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Well there are a few things you have to do before you can flash a rom:

Unlock the bootloader

Flash the recovery

Do a full wipe, better a format of your data partition

Flash the rom and gapps

can I run CM 12 on f2fs?

I have been running on zombi-pop on f2fs: it runs really well, particularly after I converted to f2fs. I did notice a drop in wireless performance compared to crombi-KK, and reported it on the zombi-pop thread.

Sbdags suggested it may have to do with the difference between CM and Omni, so I wanted to do a comparison. Does any version of CM support f2fs?

Thanks in advance...

Hi there, so my g2 has worked flawlessly in the past other than losing and quickly regaining detection of my sim card once in a while, but a couple days ago it began freezing randomly and rebooting immediately after really often. When it reboots it gets stuck in a bootloop until I hold power and it eventually gets back to where it was. I'm really not sure what could be causing this but it is very bothersome.

[General Questions and Answers] Hawkhell:
So I bought a Note 4 from someone from craigslist and checked the IMEI on T-Mobile's site and it checked out as OK. I went straight to T-Mobile and activated the phone and they even ran the IMEI there too because I told them I bought it off craigslist and they offered me insurance. So I have been using the phone for over a month and I ended up cracking the screen but it still worked and the next day my phone started saying "No Network" and when I called T-Mobile they told me the phone was blocked by them due to non-payment.

So I have a few questions.

If the IMEI checks out on a phone and then they stop making payments a month later how are you suppose to buy a used phone safely?

If I make an insurance claim and they send me a new phone, will that phone be black listed also?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] littlejoelgriffo:
Hey Guys,

So my brother recently received his Sony Xperia Z1 on a two year plan. When he received it, it was running stock firmware (android 4.2) and it was working completely fine. He then, using Sony PC companion, updated his phone to the latest official firmware (kitkat). But afterwards, his phone's microphone didn't work. He then called both Sony and his carrier asking what to do to fix the issue and they told him to restore the device, which he did, but that did nothing as his phone was still on kitkat and still glitchy.

So now the only option for him is to send it in for repairs, but that will take at least a month, and he needs the phone in the meantime. So brilliant people at xda, is there any way for him to restore his firmware to android 4.2 or another official firmware in order to fix the problem without rooting or unlocking the bootloader. If he unlocked the bootloader it would mean that he would never be able to send it in for repairs, which is vital in case it is not a software problem and a coincidence that the microphone broke at around the same time.

After the problem is fixed, I'll probably install cyanogenmod on it for him but he would not like to do that until we know we wont need to send it in for repair.

Thanks!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DontHaveACLue:
I picked up the nexus 6 from AT&T a couple days ago and love it but I have one issue. The compass is off by 90 to 180 degrees. If I spin it around enough it usually calibrated itself but only lasts until the next time I start maps.

I've seen a couple of comments indicating similar issues but I'm not sure if it is a hardware issue and should be replaced.

Does the compass work correctly for everyone else?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] max.shirshin:
Same issue here

I have the same issue with my Nexus 6 64Gb blue, bought in Germany from Amazon.de.

Calibration helps but it decalibrates soon, and then the compass is off by 90° or 180°.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
That would NOT be a hardware issue. That is entirely software.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] max.shirshin:

[YOUTUBE]AzQSsUsOWJc[/YOUTUBE]
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingdir:
Exactly, except that in case of Nexus 6 the calibration only helps for about half an hour. It corrects the compass sensor and it starts behaving as it should, only to start showing random direction when you open Google Maps the next time. I've been testing it for several days, both inside and outside, in different places, running calibration several times a day. In no less than a couple of hours (usually even faster) it goes nuts again.

If you own a Nexus 6 as well, and do NOT have this issue, please let us know where you bought the device and which exact model it was (white or blue? memory size?)

Thank you very much in advance!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
bought mine through tmobile. black(blue) 32gb version :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
Calibration *IS* a software function. You feed corrections into the compass driver to compensate for the magnetic fields generated by the phone itself. If it is losing calibration, it CAN ONLY be a software issue. The data generated by the compass HARDWARE is not affected by calibration. The calibration adjustments are applied to values after they have been received from the hardware by the driver, and before being passed on to userland.

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 PM ----------

Are you totally certain that this is a function of losing calibration and not of needing a NEW calibration? The problem is that a compass reads magnetic fields. Nearly EVERYTHING generates magnetic fields, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING that uses electricity will generate magnetic fields. Everything with IRON in it will generate magnetic fields, typically in line with earth's magnetic field so it won't interfere (much), but if that thing with iron in it is MOVED, it will DEFINITELY interfere for quite a long time until it resets.

What the calibration does, is it tries to sort out all the competing magnetic fields in order to lock in to the true earth magnetic field. If you keep switching the compass on at different locations, then absolutely YES, it will spit out various incorrect values. In fact, if you go get yourself a regular old fashioned magnetic compass (with a needle on a pin in an oil bath) and you move it around, it WILL react to all the different things that produce a magnetic field.

Maybe try going into a forest, calibrating it, sitting around for a few hours (maybe a camp fire?), and then checking if it keeps its calibration.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] max.shirshin:
No, I'm not. Well, here are some possibilities to consider:

1. External magnetic fields affecting the phone in a way the compass goes nuts.

Before Nexus 6, I had Nexus 5 for 1 year and its compass worked perfectly in the same locations where Nexus 6 compass fails: same apartment, same office, same places around the city. Moreover, I don't even remember calibrating my Nexus 5, the compass just worked. Now I have Moto G as a temporary phone as I've sent my N6 back to Amazon, and Moto G compass works excellently as well -- again, no calibration required. So we have at least two devices with compasses working fine in the same environment.

2. Software bug that causes calibration data to be dropped.

I had the compass problem both on stock Lollipop and on CM. I also have a friend who did NOT have any compass issues while running exactly the same setup (first stock, then the same builds of CM) on the same Nexus 6 model. In Android, apps typically can't work with drivers on such a low level that could affect the calibration, and I don't run any special apps (except Google Maps) that do something with the compass. So it CAN be a software bug, but then it has to be very picky. Running a phone on pure CM without Google Maps for several days could be a good test as Maps is the only app that had something to do with a compass on my phone.

3. Some magnetic interference inside the device itself, or the sensor being too sensitive and/or having a hardware problem of its own.

This one seems the most likely to me, as it fits a pattern: the problem happens consistently on one device while never happening on other devices with identical configuration, several users have this problem (there are threads on reddit and other places, too) while the majority seems to be unaffected, and other devices with a compass work just fine in same locations.

Anyway, there obviously ARE devices around which can have a compass working just fine, and be it either a software or a hardware issue with Nexus 6, it's good if more people report a similar issue (or a lack thereof).

Hello all,

I'm looking for a way to create a new lockscreen which would basically be a copy of the stock Lollipop pin lockscreen but it would log failed pin attempts into a file.

I've tried using the reddit example : [Android][Tutorial] Simple LockScreen Tutorial (can't post links yet....)

to create a custom lockscreen, which seems to work (in the emulator at least), but being a beginner, I'm not sure how to get the source from AOSP and basically paste it in there to have it look and feel like the stock lockscreen but have the added logging feature.

Thanks a lot for any help.

Before you ask I'll answer the question . Whats the difference in Vanir , Exodus and Commotio ?

In Lollipop's infancy , not a terrible lot of difference at this point with any of the L roms . As time goes on

you'll begin to see major differences as each developer shapes his design, features and cosmetics . It's just

that most of their time has been spent on getting a solid base established so that they can turn more of

their attention to each one's respective details . Exodus has pretty much turned down one fork and

Commotio is about to take a turn of it's own. Vanir will forge ahead into Heavy Metal Android as always .

Exodus is a new Rom by PrimeDirective of Team Vanir . Give it a spin . Screenshots below ..

Commotio is an older established rom by DHO of Team Vanir . Give it a spin . .
