Ok, give this a try .....

http://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf700/help/guide-t2853546

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] dneusitz:
the command

adb shell insmod /bootit.ko

causes the tf700t to shut down immediately

and the USB connection is lost
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Next thing you can try to diagnose the problem when it hangs at the TWRP curtain (preferably 1-2 minutes after turning it on):

adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

adb shell dmesg > dmesg.txt
[Asus Transformer TF700] dneusitz:
dmesg.txt and recovery.log files are attached

My thanks again for all the help
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
TWRP seems to hang after trying to mount the data partition. Run this to see if the mount worked:

adb shell mount > mount.txt

If the output file doesn't contain a line for /data, try mounting it manually and see if it contains the usual directories for an Android /data partition (e.g. app, data, local, media, misc, ...):

adb shell mount /data

ls /data > data.txt

If there is file system corruption on /data, we can try repairing or formatting it in the next step - is there any important data on the device that we should try to recover?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Maybe if you would also get a partition table .....

adb pull /proc/partitions

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] dneusitz:
adb shell mount > mount.txt output attached as is adb pull /proc/partitions

there is no line for /data in the mount.txt file

adb shell mount /data results in mount: can't read '/etc/fstab': No such file or directory

there is no data on the tablet that he needs to recover. everything of importance is on the SD card
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Oops, I forgot that you need to specify everything when mounting manually in TWRP:

adb shell mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /data

You'll probably get another error message.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dneusitz:
The command

adb shell mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /data

never comes back from the tf700t
[Asus Transformer TF700] liou.26:
I am having the same issue too :(

Hopefully this can be resolved... Hanks in advance!
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
OK, then TWRP is having the same problem which explains why it hangs. I've never seen mount hang, but this is most likely due to filesystem corruption.

To recreate the filesystem (this will irrecoverably delete all user data on the device), try this:

adb shell make_ext4fs -l -16384 -a /data /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

Make sure you get it exactly right - use copy+paste. The command should take a couple of seconds to minutes at most and output a few lines of text.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dneusitz:

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
That looks good. When you reboot, TWRP should start normally. If not, something is very strange, then post dmesg and recovery.log again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dneusitz:
not quite there yet

rebooting the tf700t doesn't change

i get the device is unlocked message

followed by 4 green penguins

then it stops at the twrp curtain

dmesg2.txt & recovery.log attached
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
hmm... exactly the same problem as before. [MENTION=4227727]ikkeT[/MENTION], [MENTION=5123642]lj50036[/MENTION] - any ideas what to try next?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dneusitz:
Any thoughts on what to try next?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
Now that /data is formatted ....

Give this a go again ..

adb reboot-bootloader

Or try the bootit.ko again ....

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] dneusitz:
the results are the same as previously reported

the command

adb reboot-bootloader

does nothing

the tf700t still is sitting on the twrp curtain. nothing appears on the screen

on the PC side the command appears to be waiting on a reply from the tf700t

the command

adb shell insmod /bootit.ko

causes the tf700t to shut down immediately

and the USB connection is lost
[Asus Transformer TF700] dneusitz:
is there a method to push twrp or the stock rom to the tf700T and have it re-install itself?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dneusitz:
any thoughts on this?

what do the 4 penguins mean at boot?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
I wish there was more that could be done...

I am out of option at the moment ......

The penguins are just part of the framebuffer console, they really mean nothing...

Other then the kernel has been made to show this console for debugging purposes ....

Thx Josh
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
OK, let's continue collecting data, maybe we find out what's wrong with your tablet...

adb shell hexdump -C -n 512 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 > misc.txt

adb shell hexdump -C -s 0x400 -n 512 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 > data.txt

should dump the misc partition and the superblock of the data partition.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:

This fixed my issue

Thanks a lot. You are the man without a doubt.

I had wiped data from the wrong screen (the RCK android wipe data screen) and my tf700t keep flashing the teamwin screen. I had to do it from linux. In Windows adb kept giving me some kind of mismatch error. Anyway, after issuing the above command I was able to reboot into twrp. I'm doing a restore from a backup off my sdcard now, and all appears to be going as it should.

[Galaxy Tab 4 General] MarckozZ:
Hi guys, just now I've received a new OTA update, is still KitKat 4.4.2, and didn't noticed any big change here...

Build number: KOT49H.T230NUUEU0AOC1

Size: 30.1MB approximately...

Has anyone of you received it too?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Michael Quintela:
Are you rooted?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] sryans2004:
I have received this update also. Not sure what changed. Anybody know where to find the change log?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] MarckozZ:
I was rooted, but luckily I re flashed the entire firmware some days before suddenly receiving the OTA.. Runs good until now..
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] MarckozZ:
The OTA notification said it was only a stability update, thats why it was only 30MB size...
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Michael Quintela:
I'm still rooted and was able to postpone the update. just wondering if I could update without losing root or should I wait till someone does more research on it?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] jturn1936:
I took the update last night and maintained my root. BTW I used towel root to initially root and made supersu pro enable survival mode.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Michael Quintela:
Cool, thanks! I'll try it when I get a chance:o
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] vicfirth_23:
Is there a chance we will be getting the lollipop update?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Michael Quintela:
no luck

My ota update failed. Not sure what else to try , enable\disable ?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] mrkhigh:
Are you rooted?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] Michael Quintela:
Yes sir. Towel root and Supersu pro
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] mrkhigh:
Then that is likely why it failed.... Try removing all root changes and unroot... But root won't be as easy next time... You'll have to install a recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thelous:
I didnt recive this update on my tab 4 7.0 (sm-t230)
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
The OP is talking about an update for the SM-T230NU. There was an update in March for your tablet model; it's build number XXU0AOC1 and it has only been released in and around Turkey. If you want, here is a link to the Odin file of the updated build, but just so you're clear, it's still KitKat (4.4.2 I believe).

Just found out there's an update for Italy too but I can't get my hands on that file...yet
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] mrkhigh:
I don't live in Turkey... And my girls tablets updated to this a week or so ago.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Sorry apparently my info is outdated. Just checking, the tablet you're talking about is the SM-T230, and not the SM-T230NU, correct?

And you're right, I misspoke in my last post. What I should've said is that the only firmware Odin file I am able to find is for the Turkey region, usually I can find other regions more or less right away.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] mrkhigh:
No it is the nu.

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 PM ----------

I see you're still running a tab 2. That was (is) a really good device.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
That's where the confusion is coming from. Even though T230 and T230NU custom roms are interchangeable, when it comes to the Samsung official updates you have to stick with your specific model number. The 2015 updates for 230 and 230NU were released at different dates because of this. A more immediate example for you: I have the T530NU and I cannot use the lollipop update released two days ago, even though it is for the T530.

A simpler way to put it: the T530NU, T330NU, and T230NU are North American models, while the T530, T330, and T230 are European models. As such they are updated separately.

I do not have a tab 2, was that directed at someone else?
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] mrkhigh:
I'm sorry, I'm running on 2 hours sleep.... Just ignore me.
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] KouenHasuki:
As far as I am aware the 30MB update in the OP (for 4.4.2) was just a bug fix style of update with nothing major changed
[Galaxy Tab 4 General] thelous:
Oh and i just realized that out tablets can hve other country firmware in it even its bought in other country. All countries does not have own firmware.

The closest I could find was this: (and I bought it) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Griffin-Mot...140?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25a1280b9c

I've searched, but there's not too much available in clear cases. Ballistic has the Jewel line of cases also, which are basically clear and provide good protection. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Ballist...678?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25a1a1c1f6
[Moto X Accessories] apristel:
Thanks for your input. I think I will be ordering ones of those! Just got the phone delivered today!
[Moto X Accessories] raddacle:
There's also this one Case-Mate Motorola Moto X Clear. Sadly though, it doesn't have a cutout for the Motorola dimple
[Moto X Accessories] Anachronizer:
I'm currently using this case after trying out and rejecting a few similar cases before it and have to say, this one is just perfect for me. I have a one with a royal blue backplate and blue accents/trim and even though it doesn't have a cutout for the dimple I really don't miss it. I'd rather not have it exposed and decolourized.

Only complain I have is the volume rocker and the power buttons on the case have a shiny silver metallic paint on it concealing the blue accents on the phone but its not really a big deal. Attached a couple of pics of how it looked when I first put it on. Excuse the poor quality of the images due to the bad lighting condition of my garage.

Also one issue cases like these have is the silicone bumper tends to get decolourized after a few months of usage and turns yellowish. This has an easy fix though. All you have to do is to dip it in a solution of dilute liquid fabric whitener for 15-20 mins and its bright as new. I use one of those liquid blue fabric whiteners and it lasts months.
[Moto X Accessories] MaggiesStreak:
Anachronizer, I have the same case and, side from the yellowish patina, I like it. I can't find the fabric whitener you're talking about. May I know the brand and product name, please?

While I'm posting, how does everyone's X hold up?I had an HTC that looked badass with some gouges. Like a veteran. I'm probably going down to skins if I can't get this case clear. And then stage down to naked.
[Moto X Accessories] Anachronizer:
Well, I don't think we are from the same part of the planet so naming the product and the brand I use wouldn't really help much. Assuming you are in the US judging from you carrier which is at&t I'd say any liquid blue fabric whitener would do. Did a little search and this particular product seemed to be similar to the one I use.

http://www.amazon.com/Mrs-Stewarts-Bluing-8oz/dp/B001NEMV3Q/

These blue fabric whiteners are milder compared to regular chlorine bleach fabric whiteners so you have less chance of damaging the silicone strip. All it does is counterbalance the yellow with a blue hue which eventually fades after you start using it leaving a bluish white tint. But you have to repeat this every few months depending on the usage and how quickly it oxidises back to yellow.
[Moto X Accessories] MaggiesStreak:
Its amazing what products I've found in the UK, Australia and even Philippines that also sell in USA. I tried Rit laundry treatment, which is a powder and did NOT work.

Thank you for looking up a similar product for me. I really appreciate the extra effort! :)

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeiks:
I posted this in the AT&T G2 help and troubleshoot forum but it seems to be dead so I figured to post it here since it looks active.

It's in Spanish but basically that's the problem. It started an hour before I'd land in my home country Argentina. I traveled from San Francisco, CA to Houston, TX. No problems. I traveled from Houston, TX to Buenos Aires, ARG and no problems until an hour before landing. To clarify, yes, I was already in Argentinian airspace and we were starting initial descent.

For some reason, this pop-up shows EVERY TIME I turn on my cellphone. I've used it millions of times (the GPS). I've even turned it on while in-flight and caused no trouble.

It's a almost new cellphone! I bought it Brand New and received it in Feb 14th. No harms, no signs of wear nor problems with the software... It's starting to bug me because even when I have my location turned off, it still shows the pop-up and my screen won't turn off until I hit the sleep button or press the "Accept" button!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeiks:
I am on stock 4.4.2 because as far as I know, most of the CM 12 come with bugs (which I found some of them that can affect me with my G2 experience). Do you know any Custom ROM that so far its bugs are minor or none recognizable?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uiuc08:
Depends on your use. I haven't had too many issues with CM12. The only major complaint that I've seen with it is VOIP issues.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeiks:
I just tried what you said. Nothing happens, still the same popup
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thiago_oliv:
Cleaning app cache or data will only work for the next boot. And once that this error occurs right after the boot, the screen remains on until you unlock the phone and dismiss the error message. So, it's upsetting because LG OEM keyboard sucks and google keyboard is the best for me. (Tried others too. Nopes...).
[HTC Desire 510] Burtrum57:
Can anyone advise me off the fastboot command to save a copy of my recovery image before I flash the new one please.
[HTC Desire 510] rbheromax:
You can't "pull" from fastboot. The protocol doesn't work like that sadly. What you can do though, is download a kernel from the forums here on xda and:

Flash recovery image to boot partition:

fastboot flash boot <recovery.img>

Battery pull (or reboot) and do a normal boot

It'll boot into recovery.

Backup recovery parition.

Reboot to fastboot

Flash kernel back:

fastboot flash boot <kernel boot.img>

Flash recovery to correct spot:

fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>
[HTC Desire 510] Burtrum57:
Many thanks for that. It worked and now I have CWM recovery. And the first thing I did with it was ???? Make a backup and save that on my computer for just in case!!
[HTC Desire 510] jdmedeiros:
Something like this

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p41 of=/mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/recovery.img

should do it.
[HTC Desire 510] mohsh86:
do you have it on Desire 510 64 bit ?

how i can get it ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] General_Led:
So as everyone knows the GS6 will be available mid April. When Samsung first announced the GS6 I was pretty certain I wanted to get it, however I've wanted a bigger screen (currently using gs4) and the more I compare the note 4 and GS6 the specs are extremely similar. My question is 1 obviously which phone should I get and 2 does the gs6 offer anything the note doesn't. I know I can get a back for the note for wireless charging so that doesn't concern me. And I don't really use my camera to much so that's another factor I'm not concerned about.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
The Note 4 has a removable battery and MicroSD slot.

It also has an Spen with all its enhancing features (pen window is infinitely useful)

And a bigger screen.

And 670mAh bigger battery (and the possibility of using a Zerolemon 10.000mAh) The S6 battery is actually 250mAh smaller than that of the S5.add to that the fact that it's non-removable.... They made a massive mistake there.

Also, a Snapdragon. Exynos is pretty powerful in regular use, but it simply doesn't have enough gHz for the heavier apps, and a Mali GPU simply isn't as powerful as an Adreno for gaming.

As far as I know the S6 offers no advantages over the Note 4.

I'm a long-time Note user so maybe I'm a bit biased, but I'd go for the Note 4 without a second though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] General_Led:
How large is the note in the pocket? Is it easily manageable or does it take time to get used to?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D15:
Go for the S6.

1- its size is more practical for daily use.

2- much better then the Note 4 in term of performance. The combination of the new processor (64-bit too), the new RAM (DDR4) and the new UFS storage (which is much faster than emmc) looks pretty impressive.

3- more future proof, and is already optimized for android lollipop. You don't know what kind of issues/performance problems you might get after such a big upgrade, or after future updates (many phones reported worse performance and/or worse battery after the upgrade to lollipop). Why risk it? Just go for the device that's made for this version of android.

4- Better speaker, better fingerprint scanner, Samsung pay, wireless charging out of the box, ... just a better device overall. Only thing missing is the SD card (I don't think many people really make use of the removable battery option) and considering you're going to have 32GB minimum of storage (+115GB free cloud storage) and the option to buy a 64GB or 128GB version if you want, it would actually be a waste of the power this phone has in term of speed and performance to slow it down with an SD card.

5- better version of Touchwiz (much lighter with several improvements).

6- It looks better.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Depends if you want active development or not. The note 4 will have far more development then the G6
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Well, I find it pretty easy to manage.

I did have to extend my pockets, but then the pockets in female jeans can't even fit a classic phone. :laugh:

It felt a bit big the first day, but after a week you won't even notice it. By then everything else will feel tiny. ;) In terms of handling, I can manage it with one hand quite well. (Size 6 female hands, so really small hands.)

In truth the S6 isn't much smaller, the Note 4 is only slightly less than a centimeter taller and 0,8cm wider, in total. That's +-4.5 mm on either side.

Send from my Galaxy NotePro 12.2" LTE P905
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] General_Led:
What do you mean by more development?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
With the chip in the gs6 most developers won't touch it. It is very difficult due to Samsung not release documentation for the chip and it being hard to develop for.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] General_Led:
One thing I have never looked into or have been concerned about is bloatware. Does bloatware actually have any impact on performance? Currently I use a custom home screen and lock screen (nova launcher and hi locker). I hide all the bullcrap apps samsung and att include so I never see them and for most of them notifications are off. I know the apps take up space but that's not a huge deal since i have a micro sd. And honestly transfer speeds aren't that important since I keep all my apps on the phone memory and movies and random files on the sd card.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D15:
Disabling them do help, but too many needless apps do affect the performance, especially with Samsung embedding their apps deep in the system. With the S6 though they cleaned that up and only left two of their apps (S-voice and S-health) pre-installed. The concern about bloatware is performance not storage.

The SD card slows down the system more than you think because many apps do access or try to access the SD card when available. Simplest to illustrate would be the gallery app which will slow down considerably if you use an SD card. Also the camera app can't record some (very) high quality videos on SD cards (because it needs quicker write speed than SD cards allow) and will require you to switch to internal storage... etc.

The SD card imo was a good option to have when internal storage was very expensive and most devices would ship with only 8GB/16GB storage (of which less than 10 GB is accessible). But with internal storage getting cheaper (in addition to it being faster and more reliable) it's logical that the industry is making the shift towards the better experience, and even though some people (including me until recently) are still clinging to what they're used to, in this case the change is imo pretty justified (that's my opinion though).

Having said that, the best way for you to decide is to wait until you got your hand on an S6 and experience it yourself, so my advice would be wait until then and I'm pretty sure your decision will be much easier.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
I think the one issue with only on board storage is that if you damage your device then you lose everything. At least with an SD card you can save the important stuff
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D15:
True (in most cases), but corrupted SD cards (which leads to losing all the info on it) is far more common than damaged devices. Two relatives of mine lost valuable data (pictures) because of SD card problems.

Also with the option of having 115 GB free of cloud storage (that comes with the S6), you can easily backup all the important data you have on your phone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Not everyone has data like that. Take where I live. Going out of town and I dont even have cell signal for days.

Odd I have been using the same SD card for almost like 4 years and never had an issue.
