Well, that depends on several things. What I did was write a short little DOS batch file to process all the fastboot commands. So, with your batch file ready, open your command prompt (change directory to your adb/fastboot directory if it's not set in system's 'path=' environment variable) and have the batch command typed in, ready to hit enter. Tether to pc via USB, proceed to boot to adb. The second you hear windows make the USB notification sound, slap that enter key. It should just process and reset the tab and get you out of TWRP bootloop. Which is just step one. :eek:

If you aren't familiar with writing bat files for DOS, let me know.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You mean a batch file with the adb commands right? Once he can boot into fastboot he has all the time in the world to run the commands for the buster99 (description in post #8). Depending on what situation he came from before, it might be a good idea to start all fresh...

The tricky thing are the adb push bootit.ko and the insmod command. Those have to be timed just right to get executed, so a batch file might come in handy. Both commands only take a second or two to execute, so your window of 5 seconds could work. Maybe not in the same session, but they should work.

If the insmod command does not kick the tablet into the bootloader, there are 2 possible reasoons:

adb push bootit.ko did not work

the insmod command did not work

To find out if the file push worked you could add a simple list command for the contents of /sdcard/. Again - tricky, I know since you still are working with the 5 sec window, but that's what you got to work with...

That would look something like in the attached picture. So after pushing bootit.ko you issue:

adb shell ls /sdcard/

Try it with the batch file, try it with single commands... Don't give up. As long as you have any kind of adb access you should be able to solve it.

Good luck!
[Asus Transformer TF700] monogwai:
Yeah.

Again, mistake in my terminology. What I meant to say is, batch commands for the process involving the Bootit.ko- the adb portion.

Thanks for clearing that up.

[MENTION=5219878]ketulharini[/MENTION]

Anyhow, I was unable to get the process to take without having automated *every last step* of the process. Literally open the cmd window, have the command for your batch file typed in ready to go, and plug in. Hear the noise from windows and slap enter asap. That's the only way I could get it in time, and I'm a ridiculously fast typist.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Care to share the batch file?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ketulharini:
I gave it to one of my IT collegue to look into it at work,

Next week I will try this batch file thing. Will let you guys know how I go. With the batch file i just need to write this commands into notepad and save file with extension .Bat

If I am wrong please let me know.

Thanks

Tell him to NOT under any any circumstances use the Wipe Data command from the bootloader. Unlikely that he can get there, but still... That could be the final nail to the coffin....

Be careful, unless this person knows a lot about Android and even more about the Transformers he could do more harm than good.....

Just one noob question.

Is it possible to format data to f2fs on stock rom with twrp 3.1.1.0?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Yes, but it would break the rom since stock kernel does not support f2fs
[Asus Transformer TF700] ketulharini:
_that had posted modified stock kernel for 4.2.1 for f2fs in f2fs thread, but didn't mention that it will work for stock ROM or not.

Just flashing that kernel will work or not.

Stock ROM is so laggy after disable/uninstall most of the bloatware, so Iwanted to try with f2fs partition.

If this helps or not.

Thanks

[Huawei P9 Lite Questions & Answers] Drewchristo1991:
So, as the title suggests, i'm looking for the best custom rom for P9 lite, as close to stock as possible!

I love this phone's hardware, its the software thats killing me! No multitasking capabilities whatsover on my 2gb variant. An 1.5gb samsung, debloated, does much much better. In the Huawei p9 lite,, i open one app, another one is killed in the background.

All settings about battery protection are off, yet apps still are killed.

So, i'd like some recommendations. I'm running EMUI 5.0 -380 version. After factory reset everything is perfect, except multitasking.

What i want most, is Dual sim to be working as i carry a work sim and a personal one. Everything else i prefer to be semi-stable.

Your suggestions?

I followed this camera distortion issue since XZS , seems sony would like to cover this up. The topic in sony forum has been deleted which have all feedback photo from different countries users.

I was hoping they could fix the problem, But since they deleted the post. I think there must be a hardware problem can not fix. Sadly I'm going to return the phone.

The XZP and XZS user deserve to know. This are the photos taken by XZP owners from all over the world, form the dead post there , Hope that they don't mind I repost.

Photos of my ASUS X75VC keyboard taken with my 3 xperia devices. Xperia XZ Premium, Z3 COMPACT, Go

All photos taken with flash, relatively same distance from keyboard. All photos were taken in the xperia camera app, auto mode, in 17, 8 and 3 MP respectively.

Note: I made a mistake in the imgur description, the photo was taken in 17MP not 13 on the XZP.

Note 2: Notice the Z3C has a minor distortion as well, I never heard anyone talk about that. The Go doesn't seem to have distortion to my eyes. And the XZP definitely has distortion.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] corallus:
All wide angle phone cameras have it.

That's an LG G3.

I believe it's to counter the extra barrel distortion these lenses would have
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] feskey:
No , this is not a barrel distortion , this is a pincushion distortion. which is only super cheap old model lens will have.

Should not be on a $ 800 phone,also XZP's pincushion distortion it's most extreme one in thr world.

Also dose iphone and samsung and of other brand have this issue ? sure NO !

see the compare photos

this pic show you why the XZP has the most extreme one pincushion distortion
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] corallus:
"it's to COUNTER barrel distortion" you missed that word.

You also realise, that the wavy lines are not the reason for stretching at the sides of wide angle lenses?

I mean you're aware of that fact?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] feskey:
the fact is on the picture I show you which align the left and bottom as parallel as possible then align the top and right ,the best result can get.

the fact is iphone and samsung and other brand don't have this kind of bad level distortion.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] corallus:
Yes, but they do.

LG G6 is the latest competitor that has it

Even the iPhone 7 to some degree.

And all Sony since Z5, and not one person so far has used it to blame it on what is simply not understanding what a wide angle lens will do to close subjects at the full width if the image. It will distort them to bits.

You wanna bang the drum that the stretched heads or elongated proportions at the top or bottom of a portrait shot image is this, then you'll be very disappointed if Sony do fix the waves, because that won't change the physics of wide angled photography.

But don't take my word for it, Google it, find hundreds if not thousands of discussions regarding the distortion on subjects at the sides of wide angle photos.

Because this kind of stretching is 100% normal
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] feskey:
OH ,I'm sorry.

We are talking about two completely different issues here,You do not know what I'm talking about.

What you said here we already knew it since primary school.

Please do not mislead consumers that the "waves" have nothing to do with the SPUER LEVEL distortion from XZP, which much more serious than other phones. there is a important connection. The more complex "waves" you got will increase more perspective distortion which increase more stretched heads or elongated proportions ,the waves exactly tell you XZP camera will distortion the subjects not only at the sides ,also spread to so close the center which is not the acceptable range ,did not like iphone or samsung they deal distortion in a acceptable range.Yes of course I know they have wide angle distortion ,like I said we are talk about range.

Just curious are you the Moderator "viridis" in sonymobile forum who deleted the XZP distortion thread before? you too have the exactly the same laptop and always compare the issue with some super old cheap phone model (no offense). we are talking about a $800 flagship price model here please.

If yes, please stop wash for sony mobile. like someone says you are working so hard to cooling down the issue.

just tell your boss do something like samsung fix the same problem quickly, see below , and if no, see it anyway.

samsung start selling their S7&S7e model in March last year, some users feedback camera with distortion issue to the samsung official forum, which is the pincushion distortion just like XZP ,but not bad as XZP level. And samsung developer wrote quick reply which said they will study to fix the problem ,After three weeks the S7&S7E received a new FW upgrade which come with a new camera options SHAPE CORRECTION. Yes,when you focusing still can see the distortion on screen,but saved photo has been corrected close to perfect.

try study in link

1. I never deleted any thread, I actually spent hours fixing someone else's cockup, but feel free to continue banging that drum too, it's not like you've let facts get in the way so far.

2. I know how much it cost, I bought one or did you forget that?

3. Why would my boss care, I don't see what an engineer has to do with an online mobile phone forum?

4. I'm attempting to "cool it down" because the images you posted in all your threads so far, are very avoidable by following basic photography guides.

But anyway, your minds made up and it's a waste of time to continue to talk to you, but please stop making out that Sony actually tried to cover something up that they have had on their phones for a looooong time.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] feskey:
You are so adorable , I've started to like you .since I told you three days ago that I did not want to waste time on you in sony mobile forum.

how about give us a look at your portrait,full body, half of the body from XZP ,IPhone5,6,S8,S7 all in the same composition to show us how you think your basic photography guides is ? NO I'm sure you will not ,you don't want to let us to see the different. And you will not to show the forcing enlarged poor lonely single beer cans too ,which you already hide it from sony mobile forum,for fear that someone else sees the thin waist distortion in the middle of the can ,the samsung and iphone won't make it this ugly.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] corallus:
Well the three photos on the previous page were a galaxy S6, but in portrait, will an iPhone 6s do?

I tried to match the kind of angles seen in op and bear in mind, the 6s doesn't have the same wide angle as Xperia.

Maybe you can post some from wide angle lenses that show non stretching at the angles shown in your posts?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] feskey:
I'm sorry ,I hate to say that：

Finally know that you are not playing fool, your understanding ability seems to really have serious problems!

like I said you will not show the XZP photo , you just afraid to show the compare results. OK ,that's fine. Cause your second picture already explained everything ,we can see you push really hard to make the head on the corner to get distortion this light level ,and you can see all my uploaded photo the head are close to the center point, none of them is so close to the corner it's already overweight level distortion. We can not use a XZP take portrait always put the head in the precise center point to avoid distortion ,and even if we do so ,the body will distort also overweight level as you can see in my uploaded photo. Also S7 & S8 will deal the distortion much better than S6, since they have a distortion correction options which they do really listen to consumer.

good luck and what a nice beautiful girl anyway.(The yellow line is transparent）
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] chesterr:
I think entire XZP line is affected, Guess like Samsung did with their S7 line up, they should fix this issue with a software update. Like feskey posted S7e photos, Sony has a similar issue, So I assume it can be fixed.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Souflyy:
I have this disortion issue also on my Xperia XZ (normal - not premium).

Very annoying, that the Sony manager said, that this is normal. So I dont expect an update.

On my Samsung S7 I got an update with Shape Correction which fixed this. I think its a Post-Processing Algorithm.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] YUYYY:
Yes that wavy it's definitely the reason for stretching , not only ad the sides it is almost stretching the center point.

see this sony official dancing woman's photos (above photo)from XZP you can find in your phone,The distortion has been already there very serious, just that wall have bad workmanship make you think it is.Do a anti color you will see the serious distortion just absolutely same as XZP distortion map below .

[IMG="https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7a390bb89f8eb7813febc8b41b3cf451cb812ad6edacb75b9ac7ac97afc732ae.jpg"]https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7a390bb89f8eb7813febc8b41b3cf451cb812ad6edacb75b9ac7ac97afc732ae.jpg[/IMG]

look at the merger photo here you will see the coincide curve line.You know what is the most coincidence part that this little woman's head and body just inside the blue box area where have less distortion.\.XZP review online they all took photo from long distant landscape,no close-range or people so we can see the issue very coincidental .S PHONE and IPHONE review usually have close range shoot and close portrait.

See this official photos.Whether use any angle to shoot these light bulbs should be regular spherical,rgiht ?! But the one closest to the yellow safe area has been distort absolutely serious already.I'm not saying that wide angle don't have distortion, But this level ..........!This is definitely not a photographer and perspective problem.Also the "curve line" certainly affected distortion.

Now the light bulb photo and map explained why my photo will be seriously deformed ,and also explained that no matter what angle and composition I try I can't get one normal photo .Explained that why I use a 4:3 scale will have even more elongate head,also more and more in single person photo like below. (borrow from other user) Exactly same issue like my traveler's photos,which they Complained about.

This is not an ordinary perspective and wide-angle problem or what ever industry standards is.More like a failed lens design ,what is the point to use the lens like that ? Mobile phone camera should be to allow users to take pictures more easily than professional camera.Most users will not use the phone to shoot master style landscape photos. Most of them are normal shooting for ordinary live photo.If this phone designed for some landscape and flowers which are random shape please put it in the ad and packaging.Also even the landscape you can see the distortion easily than other phone.

My old note5 and the new S8 I tried ,Safe area it is roughly in green box see above photo.

Rubbish lens.

WOW man, just WOW. Whatever you say is not cool. Not cool at all man.

XZP has distortion very close to center which is very different than a typical wide angle lens distortion that shows up around the edges of the photo but not very close to the center. Not to brag, just to give you perspective that i know DSLR sh**t, i own few canon full frame cameras and some nice canon L lens. Have been in photo world for a while.
