Same exact issue

I have an Lgg3, same process I removed the magnet thinking that was the issue, I updated all apps, removed app and re-downloaded them, have an unlocked phone running total wireless so I used a Verizon sim and updated the phone to the newest version, recalibrated the phone, nothing I mean nothing I can find will work for this issue that I can find. Only does it with 360 apps not on 180.

[Hardware Hacking General] Mesadog:
I am currently interested in making my own android phone. I have bought a bunch of crap phones off of ebay and tried to tweak then a little. I want to be able to swap minor hardware between the phones such as camera, speakers, screen, battery, microphone, etc.. I have recently tried this theory and soon came to the realization that all phones have different plugin sizes for their modules. So I thought I could fix this by soldering a wire across the two strips of metal on each module plugin on the motherboard. Then doing the same to the plugin directly on the module. Then connecting the two. My goal was to create kind of a modular phone like project ARA. But after I connected the wires from the soldered wires from the screen module plugin to the soldered wires on the corresponding motherboard screen plugin nothing happened. What am I missing here? Is there a better way to do this and still have any size module plugins to work on the motherboard? Please help...
[Hardware Hacking General] S1luX:
A motherboard is the "container" of the kernel.

In order to make these components work, you need a new type of kernel, and since this phone is not a commercial one (only you have it) you will never find a working kernel for it.

The only way to make it work is to create from zero a new kernel with all the necessary information of the components you own.

I have been getting a battery drain from 10197 from my Verizon s7. Does anyone know what this is?
[Asus Transformer TF700] plato2:
I recently bought a second hand TF700T that has been rooted with Katkiss 6.0 but it has numerous problems that I need to know which is the best way to resolve. This is what I have:

Model: TF700T

Android Version: 6.0.1

Kernel Version: 3.1.10 katkernel-tf700

Build: Katkiss-024.6.0.1

ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.7

The problems I have are:-

1. It has no Play Store and I am able to download the apk file but 'can't read/open' so it won't install from download (yes I have allowed apps from unknown sources). I managed to pull the apk file using ADB but the Play Store simply opens and closes a white page.

2. If I go to settings there is a SuperSU – clicking on it I get 'Unfortunately, settings has stopped'. I don't think this should happen. I don't know how to check if Super SU Beta 2.52 is installed.

3. If I go to Accounts I have Personal (IMAP) and + Add Account where I only have Exchange and Personal (IMAP). So I can't seem to be able to select a Google Account.

Presently I have nothing on the tablet I need (i.e. no data I need to keep) so if I have to start again I am happy to do that but I'm just learning so saying 'flash the rom' or such is too vague for me at this stage. I'm also not sure what or how to get 'data as f2fs' if that is important.

If someone could assist with a clear step by step of how I might resolve these issues I'd be very grateful. Happy to provide any other info sought. Not sure if this was caused when the seller wiped his personal data before selling or what, he says Play Store was working, so don't know if he bungled the rooting or what.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I got your PM and first of all, congrats you did a good amount of reading and you are on the right track.

Your problems with Google account and Play Store are probably due to either the wrong gapps (Google apps) version or the previous owner did a wipe of /data and did not reflash properly. Yep, arm 6.0 is right, but it has to be the pico edition. Since you did buy the tablet used, it probably would be a good idea to start from scratch. At least you would then know that if something won't work, it's because of something you did. :D

And yes, I agree with the advice to flash the Kang TWRP recovery. I have no idea if CWM supports f2fs but I don't think so. Most people use TWRP as recovery - it's the right way to go.

So let's get you prepped:

Download the rom, gapps and SuperSU from the links in Tim's thread (first post) and put them on a microSD. http://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf700/development/rom-t3282166

Then head here and download the flashable zip of the Kang TWRP recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59299365&postcount=2

Also copy that to the microSD

Boot into CWM recovery, go to Install and navigate to the Kang TWRP zip.

To tell the truth I can't even remember if CWM supports the microSD but I think it does. If it doesn't you have to use adb to push the zip to internal memory and then flash it from there.

Anyway, flash the Kang TWRP and then reboot. Let it boot up, then turn the tablet off and boot via buttons (Power and Vol Down to get into bootloader, VolUp on flashing RCK) into recovery which should be TWRP at this time.

Go to Wipe > Format data > type "Yes" and go have a beer (did I mention the battery needs to be full before you start?). This will take 60 minutes plus and may look as if nothing happens but it does, don't mess with it!

Once that is done follow this guide to convert internal data to f2fs: http://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf700/general/guide-convert-data-to-f2fs-twrp-2-8-t3073471

Start at step 4 and ignore any instructions related to data2sd/rom2sd.

Alright, now you got a squeaky clean tablet itching for a rom.

In TWRP go to Install > navigate to the microSD and select the rom zip. If you like, you can line up the other two files to be flashed right after the rom zip:

Touch: Add another zip, and repeat this for both the gapps and the supersu zips.

Or you flash them one by one - doesn't matter. But all 3 have to be flashed without rebooting in between and the rom has to be first!

Make sure "verify zip signature" is not checked, then swipe the button.

Have another beer

Once it's done, reboot to system and set up your new rom.

You definitely want to install the SuperSU app from the Play Store. You gain root by flashing the SuperSU zip, but you need the app to manage root.

If anything is unclear: Ask!

Have fun!
[Asus Transformer TF700] plato2:
I'm up to the part where I get to have a beer...haaa. Wasn't all plain sailing. Having TWRP as an img file wasn't recognised on the sd card so I was unable to flash twrp that way. I managed to push twrp using ADB. (The small issue I had here originally was when I renamed the img file from say twrp-2.8.x.x-xxx.img to twrp.img (for ease of typing in adb) it was really twrp.img.img as it appears with a zip icon on my XP. After realising this it was straightforward after putting twrp.img into the adb folder and connecting the device and accessing the command prompt:

C:\adb>adb devices (to check I'm connected)

response:

List of devices attached

(numbers&letters here) device

C:/adb>adb reboot bootloader

This reboots the device into the bootloader and you hear the device buzz

C:/adb>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

response

sending 'recovery' (7038kb)

Okay

writing 'recovery'

Okay

finished total time etc

then

c:/adb>fastboot reboot

rebooting....

I then used the power vol down buttons and yahoo I'm in TWRP and currently at the wipe data phase.

Can't tell you how much I appreciate this help and I'll repost a report after I get further along. Hope this helps others also.

Unexpected Clean Android waiting for a ROM

Beers were great. I finished the bit of 'convert internal data to f2fs' and thought when I rebooted, well don't know what I expected but 'squeaky clean tablet itching for a rom' wasn't a still present KatKiss rom logo start but that's what happened. Then I went to 'Install > navigate to the microSD and select the rom zip' and nothing on the SD card seemed to be recognised other than a self created 'LOST.DIR' directory so I copied the files into this directory ( Heh, at least it can see this directory). So I'm now in the process of installing KatKiss, Gapp 6 pico and SU User Beta.

If I'm on the wrong track here please let me know. Cheers

Paul;
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
No, you're doing good. You formatted /data, so did not touch /system where the rom lives. That's why your old room still boots. /system gets formatted during installation of the new rom = squeaky clean.
[Asus Transformer TF700] plato2:
I've completed all the instructions - changed data to f2fs and then starting with the Katkiss, then Gapp pico and SuperSU (adding one zip after the other) and rebooted. Rebooted and device installed 73 apps and took me to a welcome screen with a language dropdown and a swipe button. I can access and change the language but the swipe button won't work so I'm locked on this screen. I went back to TWRP and pressed 'reboot' but what happened was the reboot button(located bottom right), settings button above it and the two bottom buttons on the left disappeared... so from there it wouldn't reboot. I had to hold the power button down to reboot and back in the flash screen but still can't get past that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Heck! I did not think we needed to check your bootloader if it had Katkiss on it, but now I think we do:

Boot into fastboot and read the tiny text top left. The part with 10.6.1...... is what we need
[Asus Transformer TF700] plato2:
Bootloader problem now! More beer required....

OK, I went back to the wipe data bit and did it all again.... I noted that when installing the Katkiss, Gapps and SuperU zips I saw 2 lines:

checking for md5 file

skipping md5 check: No md5 file found

Have no idea if it matters or not....

OK the tiny writing at top on fastboot (why does this have to be so small....really).

Anyway it says:

Key Driver not found.. booting as

Android CardHU-User Bootloader <2.0 e> released by "ww_epad-10.6.1.14.10-2013601" A?3

It is hard to be exact with it that small so hope that helps, but the 10.6.1.14.10 is correct can't be as sure with the last numbers though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] plato2:
Thinking about a solution

I've done a bit of reading and I'm currently downloading ww_10_6_1_18_SDupdate.zip

I think my next step will be to unzip this file and find the T4_SDupdate file and put it on the sdmicro in root and boot into recovery. I'm guessing it will be located and the update begin. After that I'm not sure of what to expect. Will I have to go and flash twrp, wipe date, change to f2fs and install Katkiss,Gapps and SuperSU again? Will it matter if other files (TWRP, Katkiss, Gapps,SuperSU) are also on the microsd while this happens. If you could let me know if I'm on the right track that would be great.
[Asus Transformer TF700] plato2:
Sorry, that should be 22_10_26_1_18_SDupdate.zip
[Asus Transformer TF700] plato2:
Third time luck...(should be) ww_10_26_1_18_SDupdate.zip
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Don't do that!!

Whatever it is that is not firmware for the TF700!

You are on the latest bootloader, no reason to mess with it!!

---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

Give me some time, I'll get back to you
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
That was TF701 firmware you were thinking to flash. It is totally incompatible with your tablet and the T4 SD Update method works only with stock recovery. But all that aside....

Ok, what you experience is quite weird and I have no idea what caused it. Maybe a bad download maybe something went wrong during the flash - I have no idea...

So what is your situation now? Can you reboot from TWRP? Does the recovery work normally?

Because if not, that is the first thing you need to fix.

You may want to reflash TWRP anyway - just to be sure it did not get corrupted. You know how to flash in fastboot - excellent! Then let's do it that way.

Download from the first link for Kang TWRP 2.8.7.4. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24352994023705509

Look at the info under "Download information" on that page: You'll see the md5 checksum for that file. That is control value to make sure the file you downloaded is complete and not corrupted.

You'll need a small program like Hashtab on your PC to check the md5. Install it, then right click on a zip, go to Properties and there you'll see a new tab: FileHashes. Copy the string from the download page into the "Compare" box and it instantly tells you if the file you have on your PC matches the one on the server. TWRP has a feature that it will compare the md5 if you have it along with the zip in form of a small text file on your microSD. If it doesn't find a md5 it just skips the integrity check.

Your microSD - something else to check. That TWRP doesn't see the downloaded files unless they are in the LOST directory is totally crazy. How is that microSD formatted? You got another one you can use? One that actually works and does not add another question mark to this situation? If not, at least format the microSD to fat32 on your PC, load your files and then check if TWRP sees them. Also check the md5 AFTER copying the files to the card.....

Do that with all the files you downloaded.

So, first thing is to flash TWRP again. Then make sure it works, you can reboot from it etc.

Then just perform a quick wipe in TWRP. From Home select Wipe > swipe the button > done

Then reflash the rom zip, gapps and supersu on which you checked the md5.

Let me know how that goes.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] plato2:
Thanks for that info. No I wasn't going to do anything stupid without you OKing it first.

I redownloaded Kang TWRP 2.8.7.4 and pushed it again successfully with adb no problem. I am still unable to reboot from bootloader using adb or pressing reboot... these problems weren't present prior to installing Katkiss, Gapps and SuperSU. Still frozen on front screen of rom. I put the twrp.img file onto the micro SD Card and tried to flash. It gives me an option to select staging which I didn't tick so it tells me no partitions selected for flashing. Didn't want to tick something and stuff it up. I think TWRP is OK as it did work fine before I installed the other 3 programs.

The micro SD is fine it's FAT32 formatted. The issue with the recovery program not seeing the zip files in the root dir was when I was using CWM - no longer a problem.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
There's some fundamental flaw in your thinking: You cannot flash the .img file in TWRP.

twrp_tf700t_kang_2.8.7.4.img - this file you have to flash in fastboot (fastboot flash recovery twrp_tf700t_kang_2.8.7.4.img)

twrp_tf700t_kang_2.8.7.4-signed.zip - this is the same recovery packaged into a flashable zip. This you can flash in recovery

You mean rebooting from recovery??? That sentence does not make sense. And something else is going on. Flashing a rom, gapps, supersu cannot have anything to do with your recovery not working properly. The recovery lives on it's own partition and boots from there.

Maybe time to take a break and retrace your steps. I cannot put my finger on it but somewhere you are doing something wrong.

Edit: Ha! Interesting! Just remembered that something changed in TWRP and yes, this latest version lets you flash an .img file to staging (from where it will get installed to it's proper partition during the next boot). I have no idea how solid this new feature is, so I'd still recommend falshing TWRP in fastboot.

But 2.8.7.4 works fine flashing Katkiss and associated files. Tried it myself this afternoon. All the components work. So the problem is most likely in the "how", not the "what".....
[Asus Transformer TF700] plato2:
Sorry for the confusion. Really can't see what I may be doing wrong here. I followed exactly the same procedure as I did when I installed TWRP over CWM initially. I re-downloaded twrp_tf700t_kang_2.8.7.4.img , placed it in the adb folder and renamed it twrp.img. I then followed the same procedure I did originally:

C:\adb>adb devices (to check I'm connected)

response:

List of devices attached

(numbers&letters here) device

C:/adb>adb reboot bootloader

This reboots the device into the bootloader and you hear the device buzz

C:/adb>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

response

sending 'recovery' (7038kb)

Okay

writing 'recovery'

Okay

finished total time etc

then

c:/adb>fastboot reboot

rebooting....

However, this time the response to the last command:

c:/adb>fastboot reboot

(waiting for device) and it hangs and the device doesn't reboot from recovery. However, all the other stuff before it is the same. Not sure what to try next.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Elaborate on this please.

You are in fastboot.

The command fastboot reboot does nothing?

Then what? Did you reboot manually?

You are not in recovery here, so i do not understand "the device does not reboot from recovery".....
[Asus Transformer TF700] plato2:
Sorry, my lack of understanding. I suppose I mean I am in the bootloader which is where adb>reboot>bootloader puts me so that I can flash twrp.img. Then to get out of there and go back to the rom fastboot>reboot would put me back into the rom and I would get the response >rebooting. Now that doesn't happen it simply says (waiting for device)....So I have to reboot manually.
[Asus Transformer TF700] plato2:
Just got home and playing around with it. I went into the bootloader and installed just the katkiss rom. It installed fine and then I clicked reboot and it rebooted no problem. But of course that doesn't give me any Play Store or SuperSU.... so there's still hope. So now I'm back in the bootloader and going to try the 3 together again and see what happens.Let you know shortly

Setup wizerd stopped - google play services stopped

So now when I install the katkiss, Gapps and SuperSU from TWRP and reboot I get 2 repeating messages Setup wizerd has stopped' and Google Play Services has stopped. It just goes from one to the other when I press OK....
[Asus Transformer TF700] plato2:
Just about at the end of my rope. Tried to re-flash twrp using adb but that wouldn't work with a <waiting for device> response that never ended. So put the twrp on the microSD and tried to flash the image.... it told me no partition selected so I went back a step and ticked staging and reflashed... it seemed happy. So then I went and did the wipe data step...all good. Then I went to do the wipe>advanced>repair or change file system... then instead of tap f2fs I get no partition selected( I probably created that with the ticking staging box)..... think I'm understanding why the guy sold this to me.... he had katkiss working and cwm... on their own both pretty useless. I thought I had managed to get twrp on and was on my way to happiness.....I can connect the device by adb ok but I think even now having twrp is preventing that from working. Think I'm over doing and trying to redo things with the same result here... it's not productive. Happy to keep going if you have some ideas or is it possible to revert it to a factory reset and start again (don't really want to do this but not sure if I have much alternative at present). I'm surprised this android system just seems to copy over everything without cleaning first. So do I give Katkiss and the gapps and Supersu a miss and try something more straightforward that is going to work or what? I really have no idea what to try next. So at the end of a long night what am I left with..... on boot up I get the setup wizard has stopped and google services has stopped. If I power into bootloader it goes to twrp and mostly it works with the exception of rebooting.... the button disappears and takes 3 others with it. It's the only button that won't work, everything else there takes me to directories etc., and seem fine. There must be an answer???
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Man, I understand that you are frustrated! This is really weird and what concerns me are the disappearing buttons in TWRP....

Please go to TWRP > Advanced, save the recovery log and post it. This only makes sense if you have not rebooted since your last flashing session. Should have thought of it earlier.....

I would say, try something totally different:

First of all, grab an older version of the Kang TWRP, let's say 2.8.7.0, and flash that.

Reboot

Then download CROMi from here: http://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf700/development/cromi-x-5-4-resurrected-tweaks-t3273515

This is a stock based rom, not quite as fast and polished as Katshmallow but pretty darn good nonetheless.

It comes with an installer. Take your time, go through the options, if in doubt choose the default.

Set up the rom and once you got everything running, go to post #186 and flash the latest performance patch LMK put out. This is strictly optional and you should do this after you are sure the base rom runs just fine and everything works.

There's also a link under "Pre-requisites" about adb/fastboot which you should read ;)

You're not quite clear yet on the difference between adb and fastboot, recovery and bootloader. Do some reading on that :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] Scenic-3:
You need to follow the commands in adb like this, do not reboot in between.

Good luck

Did this without a hitch.. flashed twrp 2.8.7.0 - no problem. However, pushing reboot button on initial screen does the same as 2.8.7.4 - 4 buttons disappear and it doesn't reboot. Had no problem flashing CROMi following the prompts installing everything and Play Store and everything works. I feel better now that my tablet is useful rather than junk so think I'll back up. The disappearing buttons on the twrp both versions puzzles me. It only happens on that first screen. If I do something in twrp and there is a reboot button at the bottom of the page it reboots ok, so not sure what may be going on.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Can you post a picture of the screen with the missing buttons?
[Asus Transformer TF700] plato2:
Sure, apologies that is only a jpg taken on my camera. I did try and do it properly by trying to take a screengrab to the sdcard and then pulling it with adb but kept getting errors e.g screencap not found and perl not valid. Then I tried and created a batch file with a little program like:

#!/bin/bash

FILENAME=$(date +"%F-%k%M%S").png

./adb shell screencap -p /sdcard/$FILENAME

./adb pull /sdcard/$FILENAME

./adb shell rm /sdcard/$FILENAME

open $FILENAME

exit $?

Put this in the adb folder but couldn't work out how to change it to an executable file or run it. So until I learn a bit more hope the jpg is OK.

[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Ok, that's the reboot menu. That is normal. Which buttons disappear?
[Asus Transformer TF700] plato2:
So it just doesn't reboot....

If that is normal then maybe there is nothing wrong with TWRP at all. On the menu preceding that, the first screen in TWRP it has 8 buttons (4 side by side) bottom right button says reboot. I thought pushing that would do exactly that 'reboot' but it goes to a reboot menu and your right, the buttons don't disappear at all, they reduce to 4 buttons in a new menu. Sorry about that. My next step is to reflash the latest TWRP and I'm going to try again to install Katkiss,Gapps and SuperSU.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Run a nandroid first so that you can easily restore your current CROMi-X installation if the Katshmallow flash doesn't work out
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
And yes, that's totally normal. You can choose to reboot to system, recovery, the bootloader or power off. Nothing wrong with your twrp ?

Now how to pin down what you're doing wrong flashing KatMM ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] plato2:
Coming from a different rom

I kinda like the idea that now I'm coming from a different rom. So I plan initially on flashing twrp to the current version - since there's nothing wrong with it. Then I'm going to follow http://public.timduru.org/Android/tf101/KatKiss/ and see how I go. I'll post the result soon.
