Hello everybody. Bought slider101 us... 8.6.5.18 Successfully rooted with Razorclaw. Superuser installed.
Didnt have a chance to flash CWR.
Tried to update through asus notification that i got on my tablet. At the end of update it said something like "failure to update",but it changed to 8.6.5.21 on my tablet. After that tried to install recovery through" recovery installer", couldnt do it. I guess I lost my root on my tablet because of that update and Razorclaw doesnt work with .21 I did try to fix it through ADB commands which led my tablet to non stop rebooting. Cant load a screen after ASUS logo. It keeps rebooting.
The last try was this Nvflash "Unbricking and forever root" but when I hit download batch file it disconnects me from computer and looks like APX is disapearing on Device Manager place.
Cant load to recovery cause didnt install it. Tried to find sollution ,no luck so far. im not sure if its bricked. Thanks for any help in advance.
Update: problem fixed-- somehow could get into the screen where i could wipe data, I think it was system kind of recovery. And then installed nachoroot, cwm recovery, android revolution super wipe and ROM. Works perfect!
I belive you're not supposed to update when rooted.

There are a few NVflash methods to unbrick devices here. You should read them all in general thread and development thread and see which one suit your slider101. And when you find one, please try different PC to do it. Some PC just act strange but some would give you profit..

Just for future reference, what steps did you take to fix it? It was my understanding that nvflash does not work for the Slider at all.

I think it wasnt really bricked, it just couldnt load main desktop screen. Its stucked on ASUS logo.I managed to get into system recovery screen where u can see "wipe data" and i think an image of droid man. So by pushing volume down and turning it on u can see that screen, and u need to point onto "wipe data" little green square by pushing volume up right after Ive read something like "cold boot" written with small white letters. And then it started to wipe all data. After that it could boot to the main desktop screen. From there I rooted with nachoroot since I have 8.65.21. Razorclaw can root up to I think .19.
Hi,
I have the Asus Eeepad transformer TF101, I've had it less then a year now, and when I got it, it had been refurbished. Today I had tried to root it, and that's where it all went wrong. The root managed to go through fine, but once I rebooted it, it would not get past the first screen "the eeepad" screen. So I managed to get into recovery mode and undo the root and get it back to factory settings. I once again rebooted and it worked fine...until I went to install the most recent firmware update... the installation fails, again booted it and its stuck at the first screen again. Did another system restore, and tried to upgrade it once more, just in case it hit a glitch or something. Same thing happens, error in the middle of installation and freezes at the screen. Again tried to restore... and this time I wasn't even able to get into the mode to restore... I get the android guy with the loading bar, then the next second I get the android guy with the warning sign with an "!" in the middle of it.... It won't even let me clear the data, it just sits there with the speaker popping every 5 seconds or so. I could really use some help.

Remove all installed drivers(including Asus sync and any other Asus software) and then download and install naked driver(link is available in easy flash thread).. now plug your tablet and when it asks for driver install naked driver... if it doesn't then go to device manager on your laptop and install from there... once this is done, press power button and volume up buttons together for 5 secs and that will take your tablet into APX mode... plug the tablet back, your laptop will install APX drivers then go back to device manager and right click on the unknown device and update/install driver( same naked driver).. once you have installed required drivers its just a matter of running easy flasher...

First off your going to need to update your baseband. The instructions are in the stickies get the march 2012 baseband and a lot of your problems will disappear

Hello, i think i did something wrong....
I download the basebandupdate.zip file, i used rom manager to flash. Flash process was sucessful. But then, i reboot the fone. Fone shown LG logo, but then blank on off with black screen....just stuck there.
I then remove the battery, try todo ahard reboot, power and down button, the mailbox and arrow comes up, then LG but then goes in the black screen onoff mode again.
I then remove the battery, repeat the same procedure, but then i hold the up button, the sw update logo display, with indication of "pleasewait for sw update".
From my understanding, i dont think the fone can do any update, the screen displayed the message ,but it just sit there.
Please i need help. Did i bricked my fone? Is there a solution to this? Thank you in advance.

since you mentioned you flashed it via rom manager, i assume you simply download the file and install rom manager.
basically thats a fake recovery, it is not permanent in other words. If you wish to get a permanent recovery system installed, just use the NVflasher, find it on xda or google, i am pretty sure the sticky has ALL the info you need, literally.
After you have flashed the CWM or TWRP via NVflasher, its time to follow the sticky
download the windows usb drivers, download the lg updater, download the new baseband and flash it with the emulated server (unless you are living in korea i dont think there is any updates via the official updater).
Like the other poster said, the newer baseband fixed a lot of the issues.
once again, read the stickies, it is a freaking gold mine.

Also for future reference.... DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING WITH ROM MANAGER ON YOUR G2X. ALWAYS flash from cwm or twrp. Rom manager doesnt play well with our phone. Ive gotten to the point where i dont even use rom manager. I download my roms straight from xda, back up, and restore or flash any zip file from cwm. Again do NOT use rom manager to flash anything, Or you will get the problem you just described.

Hello,
I had a rooted verizon galaxy s3 (CM10) and I recently got stuck in a boot loop. So I connected to Odin and flashed both MD5 files and the root66.tar file, booted into recovery and tried to do a factory reset.
The problem is my power button won't work in recovery mode, so I can not select anything in the menu. The volume buttons work I just cant select anything.
I've searched all over for 2 days now and I can't find anything about my problem, am I screwed or is there something I haven't thought of yet?
Thanks preemptively for the help.
bump please help
Maybe possible to send commands to phone via adb?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Which recovery you are using? Try twrp which recognises touch so no need of power button to select any option. I think class cwm also has touch based recovery.
Thanks doesn't hurt....
Thanks for the replies, I tried to run adb but just runs a lot of code then closes out. I tried to re-download and the same thing happened.
I was using the stock.vzw.root66.tar and BOOTLOADER_I535VRALF2.... I flashed them many times and nothing has changed it still just gets stuck on the 4G LTE screen. Where would I go about finding the recovery files you mentioned? I'm willing to try anything at this point.
Thanks again for the replies.

If it's stuck at the LTE logo, boot into recovery and factory reset.
Edit: to Odin flash CWM or TWRP, you can find both files in Open1your1eyes0's root thread in the dev section. Use either once you're rooted.

If you just want this to be fixed quickly, you could always flash a Full-wipe rom that contains the bootloader, etc. Then after your back in the stock rom you could always re-unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery , re-root and flash whatever rom you wanted.

Thanks for the replies, I've searched the internet for a full-wipe rom and I cannot seem to find one, can you point me in the right direction?
Also sorry for the delayed response, I actually graduated college yesterday.
EDIT: Now I can't get the phone to boot into download mode or recovery mode, the Samsung logo comes up and the screen goes black. I'm pretty sure my phone is ****ed.
What was the last change you made? Also are you using the oem cable? Also, heres the link scroll down to section 5. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709

Basically, i was in the process of rooting the device. I have 4.0.4. So, I am able to run Odin, with it showing "success" on the screen. I unchecked auto reboot. So, I unplugged the USB, and when I try to reboot into recovery, I get nothing, just a black screen. The samsung logo screen will come on and then go away. I hold volume down and power button, and then let go of power button. Prior to running Odin, I was able to see the stock recovery screen. But now, I can't get to any recovery screen. But the phone will boot up no problem, and I can get to the download screen no problem as well. I am not sure what to do next. Can anyone help me or does anyone have any ideas what I may be doing wrong? Thank you.

brother try flashing cwm again
also there are many other recoveries you can try them if available
also there are many backup apps [although i cant remember} which have feature of booting into recovery so find and try them
good luck:good::good:
I tried flashing through Odin about 5 times. It says 5. For custom binary downloads... but when I reboot, I just cant get it into recovery. After flashing through odin, and odin says complete, I unplug tablet and try to reboot into recovery, and I get nothing. It almost seems like its going to work but it doesnt. Also, I cant even update the system upgrade.... im guessing since I cant get to recovery screen, neither can the devixe when it tried to update. I'm lost at what to tey next....
Are you positive you flashed a recovery that is designed for your Tab?
Oh nice idea... I used the files in the how to post in the dev section. But I couldnt. Find the 4.93 tar file so I downloaded it somewhere else. It may have been bad I guess? Like I said, everything worked until I had to reboot to recovery. Does anybody have the. Philz touch4.93 tar file? Thank youguys for your help. I appreciate it so much. None of my friends are into this stuff, so you guys are all I got. Lol.
I tried starting over from the beginning of the steps but nothing works. I just get the same result. Does anybody have any ideas of what I am doing wrong or any suggestions? Thank you for your help in advance.

So you got two problems.
One is the los of your recovery en two is the root.
I alway's use the cwm recovery.
and for root is use CF-Auto-Root-espresso
Btw what tab are you on, P5100 P5110 or ??????
That could make a diverance.

Did you check the MD5 hash for your CWM zip? If it is incomplete it doesn't stand much of a chance at working. On Windows I use winmd5free, and on the tablet I use MD5 Hash (Free, No Ads) from the Google Playstore to verify the MD5 of anything I download before flashing it.
Personally I've used the unofficial TeamWin Recovery 2.6.3.0 zip (TWRP) on my P5113 to install CM 10.2 from the Nightly builds.
Also, verify your device is really rooted. I used RootValidator, again from the Google Playstore, to check after rooting my Tab the first time.
Okay I will try checking md5. Thank you so much. Also, I have sgh i497.... how do I know 5110 vs 5100?

Goto Settings, About tablet (scroll down to the bottom of the settings to find it).
Check out focussoft's directions on how he rooted his sgh-i497. Note he refers to an older version of TWRP Recovery in his instructions.
I used this to root my P5113.
It is easy to confuse the volume rocker switch directions. Remember that the side next to the power button is Volume Down!
P5100 is the one with a simcard ( 3g/phone )
P5110 is the wifi only tablet
P5113 is wifi and Infrared
Okay, I have 3g and wifi on here so I have 5100.

Make sure you have root.
Look up mobile Odin. The lite version is free but make sure you grab the correct kernel flash file for your tablet.
Download the latest cwm/philz/twrp of your choice for your device and use mobile Odin app to flash recovery.
I've occasionally had issues getting into recovery on my 3113 and found that powering off, plugging it in until the battery icon shows then holding power and volume up and quickly unplugging the cable seems to help. Continue holding volume up for about 5 seconds after the black screen shows and it goes into recovery 99% of the time.
I should note that I only have that issue if I flash incompatible rom and kernel combos or wipe my system and accidentally turn the tab off in recovery mode.

Here's the thread. I'll edit this post in a second with the right recovery.
If you flashed a bad kernel you wouldn't be able to boot past the Samsung screen at all, except to get into download mode. If you can boot to the rom, it's not the wrong kernel. Likely just the wrong recovery or a corrupted recovery download.
Brb, hold tight.
Oh boy... we have a big problem...
I just rececked your model number from your signature....
YOU DO NOT HAVE A 51XX TABLET. DO NOT FLASH 51XX FILES.
What you have is the AT&T 4g model.
Flashing files for any other model can potentially permanent brick your device as all the hardware is completely different.
Let me get back to you again and see if I can find a real recovery option for you.
Ok, here is a good recovery for you. Try this and get back to me.
