[SOLVED] Computer not Seeing the TF after ICS Update - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having a fairly serious problem with my TF. On Friday, I installed ICS (via Rogue XM, the full version (not upgrade) from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514658). In doing so, I cleared the cache, dalvik-cache and did a factory reset.
Everything works like a charm, except my computer is not seeing the transformer. I plug it into USB and nothing happens, neither on the computer nor on the transformer. No "plug and play" sound, no pop-up notification about USB debugging mode, nada. I tried on two different computers (both running Windows 7), so the TF is the common thread. My USB cable charges the TF just fine and I have access to APX (I have a B50 pad), so this seems like an ICS problem. Worked fine on Honeycomb.
Anyone with the same problem? Or, better yet, a solution?

Are you suggesting I go back to Honeycomb, and then flash that ROM? I can't flash that ROM on top of ICS because it's an upgrade ROM.

No, what ever version your on (US, WW, ect) jsut download the correct one for your region from that thread and flash on top of your full ICS ROM.

OK, that worked like a champ and my computer can see the pad now. What was wrong with the original ROM that I flashed?
Thanks for your help!

I'm not sure what causes the difference, but the original rom you flashed was missing the bootloader or blob.EBT. Most roms don't included it, but perhaps something changed with ICS that needs it for USB?

Weird. Oh well, works now!

Used to be able to flash any ROM, now I have problems with every rom!

used to be able to flash any combo...even I-9000 roms(darky's...) with proper kernel and modem combos.
Had no problems ever!
Now, ANY combination kills my signal. Paragon; perception, pheonix, the list goes on and on.
The only ROM i can run is Cognition. If i flash to a different kernel/modem combo,(even while running cognition) I have problems.
Now atleast I am stuck with a good ROM, but I would love to fine-tune with a different kernel/radio and I have NO idea why my phone is acting this way. I am thinking maybe it's a SIM card thing(I pulled the SIM out one timebefore the phone was fully shut down...
other than that I cannot think of anything weird I have done.
In between flashes I have ODIN'd back to H2 and then Master Cleared.
Flash via CWM. Root with 1-click.
PLEASE give me some idea of what I have done?!?!!?
Or is it warranty time for the phone due to 'GPS' issues..
Thanks

Find the modem cognition uses that gives you the least problems. Are you flashing to stock before each ROM?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Yep, back to stock & master cleared between(only once problems arised..back in the day I could just flash to what I wanted and never really had a problem. Went back to stock once when the new flash responded strangely.)
Looking at cognition, I get minimal information, I THINK it's stock radio/kernel..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912657
Any one???
I would..check your usb plug/cable/port first..make sure it isn't bad and effecting your data transfer..Make sure your not plugged into a external port and plug into PC directly..
Re down load your roms and kernels again..keep them separate from what you have already used..
Flash back to stock..master clear delete all data on your internal and your data
Re-install everything over again..cause it sounds like something got corrupted along the way

Thats how I am leaning, but i dont think it's with the roms/kernels/radios i have downloaded...since I have tried so many damn copies that wouldn't make sense. also tried downloading directly to phone, eliminating the "3rd party" computer, and have used drop box in the past...
I have flashed to stock and master cleared, i could do it again, but i am tempted to go back to stock and try to exchange it for a new one due to either random shut-offs or GPS(both of which mine are effected by..) but i would like to avoid this hassle...
If something did get corrupted, any idea how I'd solve that? I am at a loss as to what could have gotten corrupted that a odin'd stock + master clear wouldn't solve...?

It's possible that your phone has a hardware issue making it more finicky. Try stock for a bit and see if the problems go away. Maybe try Andromeda 1.0 and see how the KP1 modem works (or just flash KP1 on some other ROM).

hopped back to Stock... Gonna run things here, see which problems arise, and go from there. Can you flash a different kernel onto the stock ROM? I'd assume you need a 2.1 kernel, and i don't think many are retrofitted to 2.1, but the KP1 modem is a good idea, ill let things pan out on stock and see what happens if/when i flash kp1 modem.
funny fact: fire fly made problems for me... it's based on rogers 2.2, same as cognition. that seemed odd to me.

[Q] TF300 not connecting to wifi

Okay so Im not that new with rooting androids or with using custom roms, so I'm not that much of a noob. The other day I decided since CM9 was in official nightlies I would give it a try. So I backed up my rom which was stock and rooted and I installed CM9 all through CWM recovery. Once in CM9 i notice the tablet wont connect to my phones tethering which is the only way I can get internet on it so I deciced to go back to my backup. But now on my backup the Wifi wont even turn on, anyideas why?
Hello,
I got exactly the same problem. I have installed CWM 5.5.0.4 and I tried CM9 nightly and return to Nandroid BackUp. Then no more wifi..
I tried to flash differents versions of stock kernels, but it was impossible to flash it : "Installation aborded"..
I used fastboot to install a new recovery : TWRP, but same problem : impossible to flash any kernels..
Does someone has the same problem? Or any idea to solve it?
Thank a lot !
Crystalyse
I also had another question...
is there any rom that will connect to Android tethering (ad-hoc)?
I was able to connect on stock rom rooted with cwm recovery but now every rom I tried so far wont connect to it.
Is there a way to work around this issue

+1 That's the fix (WPA_Spullicant2) that worked for me. My TF300 just kept saying "Saved" when trying to connect to ad-hoc. Replaced the WPA_Supplicant2 file and all is working well.
It's a known issue with wifi not working on stock rooted nandroid backups. If you go back to stock, you will need to follow the step in this post from Xplod.

[Q] PC won't recognize transformer

I've searched and searched throughout for a problem related exactly to mine and haven't been able to come up with much. Here goes: I flashed revolver 4 then flashed guevers kernel for OC capability since revolver parts is no longer working. Tablet works great and is super fast. However, I connected it to my PC for the first time since the flash to transfer some files and windows automatically searched for drivers. It picked up some acer abd driver automatically then automatically opened droid explorer (I probably downloaded this at some point). Also, the tablet will automatically check abd mode, without being prompted, when the usb is connected no matter how many times I uncheck it.
So I uninstalled droid explorer and uninstalled the acer abd driver and tried it again with the same result. I downloaded asus suite with the drivers to no avail. The PC will not take the asus drivers as the correct ones. It keeps searching out this acer abd driver. Now I'm thinking this problem is related to the kernel.
Any ideas whats going on here?
I'd start by either testing on another computer, or testing on the same computer with a different OS, like a Ubuntu LiveCD or something alike. If it works in linux then it's almost definitely a driver issue. If it still doesn't, I'd suspect the cable. Even if it charges, it may have issues with data. Try another USB port (from another controller if possible) on the computer also... you never know.
If it's caused or not by the kernel/rom I can't help there, never used those.
Today, I tried a different computer and it does the same thing. I flashed another kernel with no difference. I'm thinking it has to be the ROM. Tried to flash CM9 but it failed to flash for some reason. Still looking for suggestions on troubleshooting as I'm already way beyond my knowledge level at this point.
It was definitely something that had to do with revolver. Flashed revolution and am getting closer to resolution. Now I can connect with asus sync but my computer still doesn't see it in windows explorer. I've got the stock asus ROM and kernel. I may have to go back to completely stock as much as I hate to do it. I'm still open to suggestions though.

[Q] How to de-brick rooted P5110 that keeps rebooting after startup animation (boot)

As the title says: P5110 keeps rebooting during boot - right after animation stops (before word SAMUNGS starts glowing).
Tablet is rooted and there is CWM 5.5.0.4 installed. Was just fine for almost half a year and all of a sudden this...
I have tried
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
- advanced : wipe Dalvik Cache (whatever that might be?)
I also tried all the "mounts and storage" options and noticed on thing: i can mount all storage mounts (/system, /cache, /data, /efs, /preload, /sdcard) but one - namely /emmc. Does it mean that emmc is broken? What is emmc? Is it important?
I am considering unrooting it and removing CWM. But not sure whether it's even possible and don't dare to try!
Can you tell me anything that might help me debrick this tablet?
Do you have nandroid backup(one that you make with cwm)? If yes go to backup and restore in cwm and hit restore....if not try to reflash rom via cwm or flash stock rom via odin in dowload mode.

Sorry to jump on this thread but might be a similar steps the OP has to take.
What if he flashes a new Rom and it still is locked in a strange boot up?
I posted a thread earlier today but either no one has an answer or my thread title was just crappy.
Mine did exactly what his is doing now (just boots the samsung logo and hangs) and now it just boots into recovery everytime you start it.
Flashing an original stock rom didnt fix it.
Flash via Odin any stock ROM then root it and flash whatever you like.
This kind of brick may occur easily if you have flashed uncompatible kernel or tried to restore nandroid backup of another ROM or made by uncompatible CWM recovery version.

Normally, it should actually work absolutely fine if you flash a stock ROM via Odin.
Nobody knows what did cause your problems and what did you flash as last. Also, different OS versions use sometimes different partitions. Even CWM recovery is not compatible through all versions, it uses different formatting.
So this way should work to restore stock ROM on your device:
find and download Odin that fits your device (earlier versions are not neccessarily worse ones)
find and download PIT file for your device
find stock ROM for your device consisting 3-files (for PDA, Phone, CSC).... ROMs are usually zipped, so you will get 3 data after extracting
The PIT file will do re-partitions for the case that your formerly installed ROM used different partitions whch are not compatible with the stock ROM.
After that you will have again unrooted stock ROM. So just be careful afterwards whatever you flash and before you do it, make sure that whatever you flash always fits your device (no matter is it whole ROM, kernel or just upgrade).

Thank you for the reply. I had posted a link in here that linked to my thread that explained what i had done and used but it didnt show up for some reason? Anyway I used the below roms(in bold). An update was available for JB and we own two tablets both the P5113 and bought at the same time. One tablet updated fine but the other one would download the package but then would keep failing to install it. So i did a factory reset on the device and then that's when the fun began and it started booting strange.
So I first tried flashing the official JB rom using ODin 3.04.
P5113UECLK7 (4.1.1) - Cellular south November 2012 (Official)
and it still did the same thing so then i tried flashing it back to ICS which is the rom that was on there i think. (It was ICS but not sure if that was the exact version number?)
P5113UEBLI1 (4.0.4) - Singapore September 2012 (Official)
Im sure the roms are going on there fine as if im not mistaken ICS has a blue battery charge icon and JB a gold one. I noticed that it went from blue to gold when i first loaded the 4.1.1 on there and then back to blue when i put ICS back on there.
I cant seem to find a PIT file for the P5113. Only for the P5100. Would that work?
I tried it anyway and it didnt work

If I was you, I wouldn't flash it before I am 100% sure it fits the p5113. I own the p5110 and they are indeed very similar, but who knows.... Take care of your Tab, mate.
BTW: why not CM10.1 stable? It works awesome, full wipe/factory reset, install zip through recovery, install recent gapps for CM10.1 (4.2.2) and after boot install Apex launcher and enjoy life

I hear you Its a paper weight right now though so thought id rather try as nothing else is doing the trick.
The tablets are my kids so i preferred to just give them an official stock version. I got put off using custom roms when i used paranoid android on my samsung galaxy 2 and it was real buggy. I just need my devices to work for the basics. I now run stock jelly bean on my GS2 but even that has crappy battery life, lucky for it to make it till 4pm and still be on and thats with moderate use. Couple of phone calls and a few text messages and a tiny bit or browsing. I know what is causing it though as it only starts to lose battery when im not on wi fi. It at least doesnt freeze and stop receiving phone calls altogether like PA did though. I used to miss a ton of work calls because the phone had actually frozen.
I love Apex though. I have Apex pro on my GS2 and its much better then the standard launcher. My daughter has the GS3 and it still does not rotate on the home and app screens which i find annoying.

I've got your point, mate. :good:
Same with me: I need all the functions to work. The CM10.1 does it really, but my p5110 is wifi-only device so I'm not sure if CM10.1 is same good for your p5113. CM10.2 seems to be smooth and fast, but many apps aren't yet updated for 4.3 so I will wait a while before I flash it again.
I have cm10.1 on my p5113...it runs amazing...the p5113 owners most of the time have to flash the p5110 version because there is nothing different with the tabs besides the ir port..

Great, I am glad to hear it did charger cable trick help?
Just to make sure: you must be sure to flash a stock ROM first (not JB based custom ROM), after it you will have revived Tab without root. After that normal proceeding: root it, install CWM recovery or custom kernel that fits your ROM (or even whole custom ROM) which already features the CWM recovery.
The stock recovery (3e) checks the signature so of course you can't flash any custom zips. CWM recovery has an option "toggle signature verification" where one can disable signature check. Then you can flash whatever you want, just take care that all you ever flash must be absolutely compatible for your device.

One more thing mate, look at this video which I've posted on YouTube last January:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NXBN9Z63TY
It describes how to get rid of the signature verification problem. For the reason that quite many people don't understand english well, I have made a speechless video added by step by step description in the text (video description) so people can just copy the text and paste it into their translators.
If one ROM that you have flashed bootloops on the logo just try another ROM. It happens sometimes. Important is that you should always before flashing another ROM make full wipe: (data/factory reset/cache/dalvik) in your recovery mode.
Did you do it?
Please let me know if you were successful, it should work now! Good luck :fingers-crossed:
It works!
Thanks everyone for your feedback!!!
and my apologies for late response.
I followed the advise to (re)flash stock rom and it worked!
After that i rooted it again, installed another recovery and now have the latest stock rom working perfectly.
For those who get the same problem and the tabled keeps rebooting - just plug it into recharger and keep the on/off button until it turns off. Then you can fully charge it before you attempt to flash rom.
Once again, thanks a lot!
PS. now i am considering installing CM10.1

Great! Congratulations
Yes, install CM10.1.1 with gapps for 4.2.2 it works great, all the functions. Just mind that you can not restore nandroid backups made with other kernel, (sometimes also not if done with older CWM recovery version) and also apps backups made by Titanium backups in older systems aren't good idea to restore once you upgrade to CM10x
If you want to return for any reason to your old (current) ROM, do the same procedure like by unbricking

How to back to stock ICS 4.0.4 from OMNIROM 4.4.4 bigpart?

Hi all,
I am using OMNIROM 4.4.4 bigpart in my old EU Wingray XOOM 32GB but I have lots of performance and stability issues (browser crashes, apps freezing, very slow system....). After reinstalling it I still have problems and I want to check if it's due to the device itself...
To test that, I would like to go back to the stock Android 4.0.4 ICS that I was using in my European xoom before the jump to EOS, CM and OMNI.
Could anybody help me on how to go back to stock? Where to download the stock rom? how to remove bigpart? Is it really required to remove bigpart to install the stock rom?
Thanks for any help given.

My doubt is ... do I have to "undo" the "bigpart"? Or will the stock firmware install perfectly in my "bigpart" xoom?
Thanks!
the bigpart issue I am not to sure of
Of course you need to undo BigPart. It's well document in Xoom Android development section of this forum.
You need to flash the non-big-part TWRP (2.8.0 or other), wipe everything, reboot intot TWRP, format Data, wipe everything again, reboot into TWRP again. Then you can flash original image using fastboot.
Just to stick my nose in, (and go slightly off topic) have you tried My Android Jellybean 4.2? before you go back to honeycomb you might want to give it a go, runs very smooth and very few bugs (if any!)

Eh?
I didn't find anything in forum, could somebody help me how can i go back from bigpart to stock partition?
I tried to go back to stock last month and it was a nightmare trying to get it to boot back after the update. My only advise is to leave the thing alone. Or do a wipe in twrp or cwm. BTW, I still can not get my device to boot or enter recovery after my dumb ass tried to get back stock firmware.

I just flashed mine from omni bigpart back to stock 3.1 cause my 1yr old daughter can't keep her hands off my phone...was time consuming researching how to do it. But it works perfectly...I wound up running some script somebody wrote and it pretty much did everything for me... not in front of my PC at the moment but if you are still fighting it PM me and I'll give ya everything you need...
