[General Questions and Answers] NotTheLips:
Hello folks.

In my months-long quest to avoid turning an ASUS TF201 tablet into e-waste ...

I've searched, searched again, searched some more, and while I've found answers (none of which have worked), a lot of them seem to be dated, or depend on files that are no longer available for download, so I turn to you for suggestions.

Current state:

The tablet will not boot Android.

TWRP works fine.

The problem(s):

I am unable to flash the device with ASUS' official firmware. TWRP returns an error when the ASUS firmware runs its "checks," then fails.

I have tried Chrombi-KK, following the directions step by step, but a few strange things occur:

1. When flashing through TWRP (.zip images sitting on an SD card), everything completes with no errors, but on reboot, the tablet displays its ASUS logo, but does not boot into Android. I let it sit there for three hours today, and it just sat there, displaying the logo.

2. When trying to flash from ADB (TWRP update for example), it sits there endlessly at "< waiting for any device >". This is odd, because ADB's "reboot" commands works fine.

Now, I'm at a loss. The hardware seems fine, but I'm stuck ... and this is after months of trying, giving up, trying again etc.

Is this a lost cause?

Any help at all would be much appreciated. I've tried so many things, so many online "solutions," to no avail. So I turn to the experts as my Hail Mary pass before sending this to the eco centre.

Thanks for reading, and hopefully ... just maybe ... someone will have the magical set of instructions to get this thing working again.

The only command to verify whether an ADB / Fastboot connection got successfully established is

adb devices OR fastboot devices

The command

adb reboot

simply in Android's system file called build.prop (re-)sets flag ro.bootmode to normal what is read by bootloader when Android boots up.
[General Questions and Answers] NotTheLips:
As it turns out, I had already stumbled upon your your "ADB-FASTBOOT-Installer" during a trip down one of the many rabbit holes trying to get this tablet working again.

adb devices returns:

List of devices attached​

0123456789ABCDEF recovery​

adb reboot restarts the tablet, which I assume means the ASUS tablet driver is working.

I can't seem to do anything else with adb, however, such as push a new TWRP version, etc. This may be a key point, as it seems likely the version I have of TWRP may be too old to support upgrade using something like Chrombi-KK.

Is this a likely theory?

I would re-flash phone's Stock ROM to get rid off of all mofications applied so far to check for phone is working as expected.
[General Questions and Answers] BHD@RN:
ok, so good thing is twrp boots, now again if you have box with wich the tablet come try to get correct model number and search for official frimware to flash through adb using flashall.cmd

again, if official rom is not installing don't worry flash THIS custom rom using TWRP make sure to wipe all before flashing.
[General Questions and Answers] NotTheLips:
As I mentioned: "I am unable to flash the device with ASUS' official firmware. TWRP returns an error when the ASUS firmware runs its "checks," then fails."

This is exactly what I'm trying to find a solution on how to do.
[General Questions and Answers] NotTheLips:
Yes, thank goodness it's not completely bricked, haha.

I think the version of TWRP that's on there may be too old, and I'm having trouble pushing a newer version through ADB ... so this is the current hurdle I'm trying to overcome.

Might you happen to have a link to the ASUS TF201 drivers known to work in Windows 10, so I can rule that out? If I can't get ADB to push a newer TWRP version from Windows, I may give it a go in Linux too ... but I'm trying not to open up new avenues of complexity, so I've restricted all my efforts to Windows as that's where most of the online help I can find tends to take place.

Thanks!

Edit: Unfortunately, the download link to [ROM][N 7.1] KatKiss Nougat [TF201] no longer works:

404 Not Found

This has been another constant obstacle, i.e., recommended files to download are no longer available.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Nobody needs TWRP to re-flash a device's Stock ROM. :)

It's typically done via ADB Sideload method.
[General Questions and Answers] BHD@RN:
how you tried to flash stock rom, i mean do you boot into fastboot after booting into twrp or not?
[General Questions and Answers] NotTheLips:
As I mentioned before, "2. When trying to flash from ADB (TWRP update for example), it sits there endlessly at "< waiting for any device >". This is odd, because ADB's "reboot" commands works fine."
[General Questions and Answers] NotTheLips:
I've tried two methods.

The first is to try to flash it from TWRP, but this fails with an error. The stock ROM appears to be checking for dependencies, and it fails this check.

The second is to use ADB (fastboot) while the tablet is sitting in TRWP. It stalls at "< waiting for any device >".

So this the problem. Neither of those two methods work for the stock ROM.

With a third party ROM, TWRP appears to flash the device successfully (no errors or stalls). When I reboot the device, it will not boot Android, and gets stuck at the ASUS boot logo indefinitely.

I'm not sure what do next to get past these two problems.
[General Questions and Answers] BHD@RN:
here is the problem, ok so follow the steps carefully,

boot into twrp

then connect your phone to your pc

type "adb devices",

if some thing like 1234567890 -recovery shows up proceed else start-over,

after successfully detected by adb typed "adb reboot bootloader"

then after booting into fastboot mode type "fastboot device"

if something shows up proceed else tell me

make sure you have installed adb and fastboot properly,

after all this run the cmd file in stock rom, to automatically flash it.
[General Questions and Answers] NotTheLips:
Here's what happened:

C:\Windows\system32>adb devices​

List of devices attached​

0123456789ABCDEF recovery​

​

C:\Windows\system32>adb reboot bootloader​

​

C:\Windows\system32>fastboot device​

< waiting for any device >​

​

It sits at < waiting for any device > indefinitely, until I reboot the device. :(
[General Questions and Answers] BHD@RN:
the problem is your pc does not have adb and fastboot properly installed
[General Questions and Answers] BHD@RN:
try this one https://xdaforums.com/t/tool-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-2-9-18.2317790/
[General Questions and Answers] BHD@RN:
also, use this official driver https://www.asus.com/SupportOnly/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/HelpDesk_Download/

if your pc is 64 bit use win764bit version
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
This "waiting for device" problem happens when the USB device node is not accessible to your current user. The USB id is different in Fastboot mode, so you can easily have permission to it in ADB but not in Fastboot.

Each manufacturer implements Fastboot differently. So, if not already done yet, download and install the suitable "Android USB Driver" provided by ASUS. Then Fastboot should work.

BTW: Your device actually stucks in recovery mode.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Is OEM Unlock got enabled in Android settings? If not, Fastboot never will work.
[Alcatel 1 Questions & Answers] michaelbr51:
My phone was working fine until few months back, I started to notice headset not working properly, not sure if the problem was caused by system update or apps I've installed. Is there a way to troubleshoot the problem? I'm not that familiar with Android, working mostly with PC (Linux/Windows).

Here's what I've noticed:

1) Skype audio test stopped working (I can't hear through earphone).

2) Tried using Whatsapp, the same result

3) Installed Earphones Test+ 2.8 and Mic Test 5.2 (both apps installed from Google Play store and developer is Laureano) and both reported back that the mic and earphone are working fine.

ps: I haven't updated for some time the following services: Android Accessibility Suite, Android System Webview, Clock, from Google: Carrier Services, Gboard, Google, Google Calendar, Google Duo, Google Maps, Google Photos, Speech Services. I'd like to avoid installing unnecessary apps/services, and use as much as I can opensource apps.

Hi,

this little application allows you to quickly type a new appointment without using the stylus. It's a finger-friendly tool, very simple and easy to use.

For my job this tool is very useful, I hope will be the same for you too!

Disclaimers:

- Only VGA are supported (it's in Diamond theme...)

- English and Italian languages (at the moment)

- Default duration for appointment is 30 minutes

- No recurring meeting supported

- You can only enter object, location, start time and duration (but I think it's enough...)

Thanks you for interesting in and if you like my work please donate me some coffee I could drink while I develop a new tool for you.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mpore14:
Hi everyone, was wondering if anyone know how much more Battery usage does having 5G toggle turned on uses compared to having 4g/3g only.

The reason im asking is that VoLTE doesn't seem to turn on when I don't have 5G turned on. I dont turn on 5G because there's no 5G in my city.

Please help
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Limeybastard:
Lots more for me using it on TMobile USA.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
Yes, 5G does drain a lot more battery. VoLTE would work even if the device is on 4G/3G option but honestly there isn't much of a call quality difference with or without VoLTE. What really makes the difference in the call quality is wifi calling...turn that on and you will notice a marked difference in the sound quality at both ends of the call.

5G is not practical unless there's great coverage. I live in a very well covered 5G area but unless you are constantly browsing/ on youtube, the phone doesn't bother using the 5G band. So, let's say the phone's screen is switched off..you will still get your messages but on 4g band. I think it's something to do with the kernel that puts the phone on 4g when the screen's off...probably to save battery. The moment you switch on the screen, you'll see the network change to 5G...

I don't use the 5G unless I really need to say like downloading a huge update when the wifi is clogged...

TL:DR: There's no point in activating 5G unless there's a real need for speed and that you're in a good 5G coverage area.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mpore14:
Unfortunately, mobile data does not work automatically if the 5g toggle is off. I have to manually put the phone on airplane mode or restart it for it to work. Such a big hassle.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
I have 5G off and VoLTE is on, it should only need 4G/3G

Someone did report that issue with the last firmware update and apparently, the latest update has fixed it. You could try a Bixby routine to turn mobile data on when wifi is off as a temp solution
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mpore14:
I know exactly what you mean. You'd expect that it would connect to VoLTE but it doesn't. The only time it would connect is when I got the 5G toggle on.

I have tried it with multiple sim cards/networks and it only does it with my current provider - Vodafone. It is bizarre, i know but i can prove it with screenshots

[General Questions and Answers] amrel:
Hey there ! My little sister was given a Lenovo TB-7304I for school but I guess the previous owner messed up or something with the reset so it keeps asking for a previous google account. Tried contacting the help desk of the government but they can't get in touch with previous owner so I tried flashing the device myself since I had previous experience rooting so it can't be that hard right? (famous last words) The kicker here is that for some reason during the download process the flasher did not progress at all even after a few hours and after a few tries, I absent-mindedly unplugged the usb cable while the download process was going and suddenly got an error, then the device just got hard-bricked. I'm talking not even booting up or charging kind of hard bricked. is there any way I can recover this tablet or has it become a paper weight? Any help would be appreciated since I can't share my laptop with my lil sis for her school all the time since I'm using it to work from home at times.

P/s: sorry if this is the wrong forum to post in since I'm pretty new here. If there's a more appropriate place to post this please redirect me to it
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
Before flashing an Android device any locks ( FRP etc.pp ) must get removed before, otherwise the result wants to be a bricked device.

My recommendation: Take tablet to authorized service center and let them try to fix it. :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] orlandojumpoff:
First, I did a search on this and did not find the answers i wanted; so mods, please delete/move this thread if you don't approve - thanks

My question is pretty much in the title of this thread... I know the specs, but the amount of RAM/Memory after the phone runs its default processes and apps is obviously much different than what's stated on the fact sheet.

So, how much RAM and internal memory does the sprint touch diamond have after it's powered on straight out of the box with touchflo3d enabled?? Also, how much RAM if touchflo is disabled? I will be upgrading my mogul soon, so I'd like to know what I'm working with.

Please post any useful info, thanks in advance!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] -Mr. X-:
it doesnt matter you will hate the stock rom so bad. (its got **** all for spacke with all the sprint crap on it and its slow as hell) that you will flash a custom rom very shortly after your realize this.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Tenny:
I have to disagree. While yes it is full of bloat, of the custom roms I've ran (/made) it was by far the most stable. I didn't have it freeze at all over the course of a week, while with the custom ones, there was almost an immediate problem I found within the first hour of playing with them.

All we need is a nice clean sprint rom to remove a lot of the bloat, and it will be a great place to start, just with all the sprint crap on it, there isn't much storage space. And to comment on it being "slow" all the roms seem about the same speed, I wouldn't say its much slower at all.

To top it off, personally I like the sprint theme more than any other (just needed the flip clock to be perfect which you can download a cab for that).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] -Mr. X-:
hate to burst your bubble, but if your getting freezing on the custom roms as opposed to the sprint one its something your doing or you have not hard reset after flashing. Juicy's sprint rom is exactly what you just described. its got all the crap removed. and some speed tweaks. its about 10x faster then the sprint rom or the telus stock rom with better then stock battery life.

again i say, your smoking the bong pipe and u need to put it down for a few and actually test my friend because any one here is going to disagree with your statement i bold'd above. I went back to the telus rom last night to test and was disgusted by the slowness. i became accustomed to my custom rom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] patterns:
good cooked roms are much much better than stock roms IMHO

i have flashed a fair few and the bets ones do not freeze on me at all ;) they have less memory leak and run faster as well as being leaner and get the best out of the phone ;0)

flash and flash some more, have fun see for yourself, but be safe :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] -Mr. X-:
i agree.

when my device boots it has 144 MB free ram. that's an ass load more then the telus rom.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kikakeule:
144mb FREE ram?

you're sure you mean rAm not rOm (even then it would be very much)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] -Mr. X-:
yes im sure, remember i have 256mb of ram you poor GSM guys only have 128
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] orlandojumpoff:
this back and forth dialogue about different ROMs is quite amusing, but I just want to know how much RAM out of the box - even with all of sprint's unnecessary features and what not. I'm just trying to see how much we actually get to play with. With the mogul, I had about 25-26mbs free out of the box of the 64 total. I know the diamond surpasses that minuscule amount greatly, but like i said, i just wanna know how much we're actually getting...

[Samsung Galaxy J4+ Questions & Answers] buggydummy:
Hi!

My Samsung J4+ gets stuck on the "Android Starting" screen during bootup then hangs. Whenever this happens, there are red dotted lines on some parts of the screen then the phone reboots only to go through the exact same thing again. Any idea how I can fix this? I haven't activated usb debugging on my phone unfortunately since it won't boot past that screen. Sometimes, it doesn't even get to the "Android Starting" Screen. It just reboots after showing the Samsung logo. I really hope you guys could help me out. I have zero knowledge on how to do things so a step by step guide would be deeply appreciated. I don't mind having my files deleted, I just really need to get my phone working again. Thank you very much!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DaveShaw:
In that post there is some snippet's of what you need to do

1. Install Hard SPL (Read the ROM Development Stickies for how to do this)

2. Download Radio

3. Run KaiserCustomRUU on your PC to flash the Radio (or follow the SD Card method in the thread I posted).

There is an SPL Questions on the Wiki that explains all about SPL's
