Hi there,
as you may know, some owners of a desire have an issue with their USB/BT/FM functions. For example only fastboot works but no adb / mass storage ...
So, i thought opening this thread to collect your issues, please post the following informations:
Bootloader Infos
Rooted or not
Which rom
Have you used mass storage switch in recovery
Do you use a2sd or a2sd+?
If there are enough answers i will send the collected infos to paul from modaco, who tries to adress the issue.
no usb-bt-fm
bootloader 0.75
original rom 1.15.405.4
when does it happen for you
Also posted om Modaco
Bootloader 0.75
Stock ROM 1.15.405.4 Rooted + App2sd + dalvic
Yes, I used Mass storage in recovery
Issue startet when I transfered the MCR custom fra PC to phone via recovery
I loaded a rom amended with root permissions, not happy I restored everything to its original state with the 1.15.405.4 but now no longer works usb-bt - FM ... and access to most recovery so I can not load the rom recovery .. . Help
From what i know the guys looking into this have problems to dress the trigger of the brick, so all infos on how and when ar great
Bare in mind that the rooting process was at your own risk: no-one (HTC or Paul) will take responsibility if features are no longer working.
Personally, everyone works fine on mine including adb/mass storage. I don't actually see why it'd break.
OP, what OS are you using? I had to add some udev lines into Ubuntu as otherwise adb would work but Mass Storage would fail (on my netbook, even adb wouldn't function without adding the android rules).
I know it's our risc, but hey without some investigation no progress, right?
Btw. Paul is looking into this but no ETA for now
I had exactly the same issue as you lot, only difference was that my new rom flash was interrupted by me knocking the phone and the battery falling out!
I was on evil's 1.0 and decided to change to his 1.1. In the middle of the phone formatting during the flash, I knocked the phone and the battery dislodged causing it to lose power. I had the sd card formatted and was already using a2sd. Turning it back on and restarting the root process from step 1 on Tiny Core Linux got me back with a semi working phone. I had no BT, no SD card, and didn't check the FM radio. It also started to lose signal and would require a reboot to get it back.
I tried unrooting it using paul's method and it was still the same. I just took it back to the shop and acted stupid. They gave me a brand new boxed one, no questions asked I'm scared to try flashing again now though lol.
0.75
Modaco R2 with A2SD+
Yes i have used USB-MS (still works)
no usb connectivity from within android.... but adb works
Bootloader 0.75, tried a few different ROMs (primarily eViL's, tried some MoDaCo), and I've definitely mounted the SD from within recovery. Every single ROM swap I've done was accompanied with a full wipe and SD partition afterwards.
So far I guess I've just been lucky. USB still works, though it can take a long damn time to get recognized in Windows if I'm syncing through the Desire; if I take the SD card out and pop it in a reader, it pops up instantly.
So: .75, lots of ROMs, definitely mounted SD from recovery, always full wipe and format. No issues. Supremely lucky, apparently. :/
Hboot 0.80 o2 Germany ModacoCustomRom r3.

Issue startet after I flash the jit patch,it can't use recovery again
Can you all confirm that you had a boot loop at some point during your flashing?
The conversations on Modaco now have me convinced that this is triggered when you go through a boot loop of three cycles.

No, not for those who've been bitten, but I think the rule for those of us still flashing is:
1) Flash rom (or update.zip for kernel, make changes to system, etc) in recovery
2) reboot
3) immediately do adb logcat on your PC and watch first boot like a hawk
4) if logcat reveals that your device is bootlooping, PULL THE BATTERY IMMEDIATELY. Reboot into recovery (which should count as a "successful" boot, and reset the counter) and flash a known good ROM, restore your backup, whatever.
Fixing those phones that are dead is unfortunately a task for a greater mind than mine.
I said I would flash cyanogenmod on a friends G1 because he was fed up with 1.6. I've flashed many custom ROM's on several different devices before but I've made a mess of things with this G1 and I can hardly hand back an unusable phone so I would really appreciate your help.
I rooted the phone using Androot, backed up the apps and settings using titanium backup and then the texts using a text backup app. I then downloaded Rom manager and flashed the latest clockworkmod recovery. Next I downloaded the latest official cyanogenmod rom for the dream/g1 and placed it on the phones SD card using my computer. I then re-opened rom manager and used it to select the zip file from the sd (to flash it) on prompt I checked two boxes one to wipe data and one to wipe the dalvik cache and pressed ok.
The phone rebooted into the recovery wiped the stuff, supposedly flashed the rom and rebooted. However it got stuck on the t-mobile g1 boot screen(it never showed anything else first or anything after) I left it for ages with no joy. I then tried wiping from the recovery and flashing again - same thing so i put cm5 on and tried flashing that. Same problem. Then i realised that it probably would not work because I would need to use DangerSPL as the /system partition is too small on the dream/g1. To be honest at this point I can't be bothered with to do that and this guy will be happy with anything above 1.6 to be honest so I thought I would try and flash CM4 because that's based on Eclair I believe (and so it not require I use DangerSPL or any other method to repartition the NAND). However, I tried it twice and still no luck.
At this point I'm somewhat panicking as I cannot seem to make the phone boot and it isn't even mine! Is anyone able to help?
Anyone? Please?
Look, at this stage I will forget custom roms etc. If anyone can tell me the easiest way to get this phone booting android again i would be very grateful.
Even if you could just tell me exactly how to restore it to stock 1.6 from here?
I have flashed roms on phones before - never had a problem but this is driving me crazy - please help!

Try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803482. I hope it helps.
It's been way too long since I rooted mine to be of any real help but I shall try nonetheless.
Firstly, there is a guide in the G1 forum to unroot and get back to stock firmware: Here (but note that I've never done this).
I must stress though (admittedly from memory) that if you have flashed an SPL or radio image at all, be VERY careful about the order in which you revert back to stock (or go to get a custom ROM depending on which way you decide to go). The G1 is very picky, and flashing things (mostly SPL and radio IIRC) in the wrong order will brick the device. That said, if you follow the instructions you find to the letter you should be OK. But yeah, read twice, flash once.
There is a lot of information in the stickies in the G1 forum. It could take a while to wade through but it should all be there. Failing that, post in the Q&A or General G1 subforums and I'm sure a current user will help you out.
I apologise if I've just posted a bunch of stuff you already know/have read - like I said, I've not used the phone in a while - just trying to offer what I can.
Thanks
No worries now guys i've done it! It was quite complicated but its all sorted now. If anyone is trying this and has the same (or similar) issue then pm me and I will tell you how I sorted it.
Otherwise thanks guys and you can conciser this thread:

Hello, please let me know what I'm doing wrong, I've looked exhaustively for a solution to my problem on my own but I can't seem to find one:
1.) Rooted my G2x
2.) Installed Clockwork ROM Manager
3.) Copied two separate Gingerbread ROMs, Cyanogen 7, and Modaco into Root Folder (no sd card, just phone storage)
4.) Tried flashing both Roms multiple times with Rom Manager by both rebooting into recovery and installing from .zip (this option won't display either of the ROMs, just the log file folder.) I have tried installing .zip from SD in ROM Manager, and the phone just reboots as if nothing has happened.
*I believe ROM Manager does have difficulty mounting the phone storage, as it takes a full twenty count before attempting to flash the ROM.
**I don't know if this helps, but I have not received the OTA Gingerbread update from T-Mobile (even when my phone was unrooted), and when I prompt for the OTA update, I receive a "connection error" message. The LG Updater Tool indicates that my phone is "up to date" when it clearly, is Froyo 2.2.2.
Any help would be greatly appreciated with this issue guys, I usually scour forums for answers to my questions or fumble my way through it myself, but this has really sucked out lots of hours from my life.
No external sd card
You have to have a external to flash roms if im not mistaken
when you install recovery there are 2 choices external storage and internal storage if you dont have an sdcard reinstall clockwork using the internal option. that should do the trick for you.

I am going to try with an external SD card. Also, I am unsure of how to flash it to use internal storage, I checked the settings through ROM manager and couldn't find out how to do it. Is this something I access during Recovery mode? Thanks for the suggestions so far guys, I'll definitely post with results.

I can't quite tell if you used rom manager to flash CWM, but if you did then make sure to use nvflash. I don't know if it could cause things not to work, but it's the only way to guarantee you can always get into recovery. As people have said above, try to use external, although I hadn't read anything about problems with using internal to flash roms, at least if nvflash has been used.
I'll assume you've already heard of wiping/factory reset and all that since you joined a few years back, but make sure to do it when going to a new rom. As for the update issues, I would say just restore stock froyo, maybe from the nandroid tgagunman created if something is wrong with yours, factory reset it just to be careful, unroot using superoneclick, flash stock recovery using tgagunman's one click recovery flasher, and make sure usb drivers are up to date.
If you really can't get the new baseband and roms working after all that... tell t-mobile you can't get the update and ask for a new one haha.
Thanks Guys...
Danish, Eagle, Water, thanks a lot to all of you guys. I was able to flash a new ROM using an External SD card, I'm still having problems finding a ROM that is stable and is compatible with all of the apps I want to use (I'm currently having difficulty installing Tooyoou on the Bionix ROM I downloaded, which is otherwise AWESOME). I mean, it's not that big of a deal, but I'd like to get my extra $2.50 a month from the program.
Oh and NV Flash...
NV Flash helped me when I messed up my G2x's ability to boot into recovery with a Cyanogenmod 7 ROM build. Here's a link to a guide that helped immensely for anyone who finds themselves in this thread with a similar issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
I'm quickly finding the D2G is the least supported of the Droid devices and have the feeling I should have just bought the D2. It's been a bear trying to get information on this phone, let alone any decent ROMs that are working. That said I've got some issues with flashing backups, so here's the details.
Droid 2 Global
- CM7.1 (DROID2WE version) installed.
- Droid 2 Bootstrapper 1.0.0.5
- Clockwork Mod 5.0.2.3
First off, all the online documentation, including CM's site that CWM can be loaded by: "Hold the X key on the keyboard & the Power button until the device boots to the recovery." is incorrect. Doing so pulls up the PHONE recovery; the best way to get CWM to boot is to wait until the "M" logo comes up and the backlight on the screen turns off, then pressing and holding the power button for 5-10 seconds.
Now, I've tried both entering into recovery from ROM Manager, then creating a back up and rebooting into CWM recovery, then creating a backup. In both instances, the recovery will not restore; each and every time I've tried, I get this error: "Error while formatting /system". Keep in mind that I did NOT change the name of the backup (which I'm told can cause this error).
Supposedly, according to ROM Manager's page on the Market, the latest update was supposed to resolve the error/restore problem, but I've flashed 5.0.2.3 several times with no avail. I emailed Koush, but haven't received a response. To add to the issue, I haven't been able to get any other ROM to flash to the phone, like Liberty 3, for example, unless I flash SBF back to 2.4.330; it's almost like the phone doesn't like dealing with more than one ROM.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I can't find anyone else with the same issues in a finite post and certainly no wikis to explain the matter. I have an OG Droid that doesn't have any of these problems so I assume this is related to the D2G and not because I'm doing something wrong.
**EDIT** Scroll to last post for the resolution.
D2G has a locked bootloader. The custom ROMs are made for a certain kernel. A GB-based ROM won't load on the 2.4.x base, and vice versa, a Froyo ROM won't start on the 4.5.x base.
To install CWM, you need to use Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap from the Market. With stock ROMs booting into CWM is only possible by first booting into the OS, and then choosing Reboot Recovery in the Droid 2 Bootstrap Recovery app you installed before.
(I have never used ROM Manager because it's not really supposed to work well with the D2G.)
Also, it's worth noting that the “official” CM7.1 ROM is based on the Froyo kernel from 2.4.x firmware.
I've got the Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap installed. But that still doesn't explain why all the videos and people I see online can switch in between ROMs on other phones, but it's so hard on the D2G, or that I can't get a backup to install properly.
I've read online that using the Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap to reboot into recovery isn't advised; can anyone confirm?
It's not advised for CM7 and MIUI; those have their own recovery access methods, and CWM comes preinstalled. In CM7, you have to long press the power button, tap “Reboot”, and choose “Recovery” from the reboot menu.
On the most current (ICS-based) MIUI, you have to use the boot menu (press the Volume Down button during power on when the notification LED turns blue while the red Motorola logo is still displayed).
On stock firmware, however, the only way to access CWM is using koush's Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap and its Reboot Recovery option.
For most other phones, you just replace the stock recovery with CWM, and that gives you the same version of CWM whenever you boot into it.
On Motorola phones with locked bootloaders, CWM versions might differ between different ROMs, because CWM is installed as just another system component with the ROM itself, not outside the ROM inside the boot/recovery partition.
I am, however, unsure why are there such issues for you with backup and restore; I was able to use backup and restore on multiple occasions, and last time I did it was just 2 days ago when I switched between MIUI and stock about 7 times without resorting to SBF even once.
I thought the first few times it didn't 'restore' was because I installed CM7 incorrectly or that I didn't install the bootstrap correctly, but I've SBFd and installed CM7 at least 4 times now and I've never been able to restore; every time I do, I get the 'Error while formatting /system' message.
I really hope I'm just doing this wrong (though I don't see how) and someone can steer me in the right direction.
Wipe data/ cache?
If u use rom manager, go recovery via rom manager
I've done that every time, including wiping the cache partition AND Dalvik under 'advanced'. I found out it was the CM7 version I had installed, which was the 'stable' version that installs over Froyo. It was messing up all sorts of things. I installed one of the RevNightlies over the Gingerbread OTA and most of my problems resolved. I've still had a few instances of a backup not restoring right though... is that a common issue?
**EDIT**
Problem solved, thanks to the guys over @ Rootzwiki. If you have the D2G, you need to flash CWM for the Droid X (2nd-init). I did and backups/restores are working perfectly.
This is a HUGE issue, IMO. There's zero documentation on CWM online, so hopefully people will see this thread if they encounter the same issues I did.

I was also having this issue. Thank you for doing the research!
It's pretty frustrating because in ROM Manager, there's a Droid 2 Global option which you would think would be the obvious choice. Apparently D2G's really need DX-2ndInit.
I'm in DX-2ndInit Recovery on my D2G and it's actually doing functions instead of pretending. It's happily restoring a Nandroid backup that I made under the old original version of CWM that the D2Bootstrapper installed.
Edit: Nandroid Restore worked perfectly! All's going very well now and my phone is now running on AT&T on a GoPhone SIM. Looks like it can even jump on HSDPA!
Hi,
I have had a TF101 for over a year. However it was used by someone else who upgraded it 0.17 and when it came to be me was unreliable and would often randomly reboot and then get stuck on the 'EEEpad' screen (before it says ASUS etc).
I am new to Android (been on webOS for a few years) so rooting etc is new ground for me, but I am pretty technical. Had lots of webOS patches and overclocking installed.
I 'upgraded' to 0.24 and then started reading as much as I can on this site after the reboots remained. I now realise I made two fundamental mistakes
1) Going to 0.24 at all seems to be a no-no from what I'v read.
2) I didn't do a clean restart before upgrading.
I'm not too worried about staying with stock but I do need the thing not to re-boot as often (15 times yesterday !!), so I am wondering.
1) Is 0.24 on a factory reset machine better for rebooting ? If so how do I get back to that state given that I have 0.24 already so can't reset and then re-install 0.24 (as I think I should have) ?
2) Is the only way to make it reliable to go for a customised ROM/Kernel/Bootloader etc ?
3) If (2) is true and I need a different ROM/kernel etc which is the most reliable ?
I know I need to do the downgrade, root, clockworkmod etc but can probably handle that from other threads.
Many thanks for anyone taking the time to respond.
1: A factory reset *May* help, but there's problems with official ICS anyway.. I haven't tried stock ICS and have no intention of trying it with all the horrid reports I read.
2: I would say this is your best option, put a ROM on, you won't regret it.
3: You will need to flash a ROM, boot it once, then wipe caches again and flash a kernel. As for kernel IMO your best choice is Guevor's kernel, (I'm using v20.6 and it's perfect.) As far as ROM I recommend ARHD or Revolver if you like stock look, and Megatron or AOKP if you like AOSP based roms. (its all preference here)
15 reboots in one day? Have you tried a factory reset yet? That sounds excessive.
But I have zero problems with ARHD 3.4 and Guevors kernel.
As the 2 previous posters suggest - I think a factory reset could possibly help.
If not then I would root, and install a custom ROM. I'm using Revolver and stock kernel with zero RR or SOD. I tried Guevor's kernel and it just didn't agree with my particular TF-101. I also tried ARHD and it worked great but I just prefer the aesthetics of Revolver. Good luck and I sure hope you get your reboot issues fixed soon.
Many thanks for the help, I will do a factory reset.
I suspect that won't work so will look in to rooting and custom roms etc.
I gather I need to downgrade ?
I know there are instructions out there so I will go and have a look at them in preperation !
Thanks again.

As you have had the unit over a year --> old serial# --> it has to be nvflash-able. So you have an option for an easy one-step installation.
Erm, OK - now I am a bit lost !
I want a rooted machine, Clockwork mod and a chance to try custom roms and kernels.
I seem to be able to find instructions for one but not the others, some want to put back stock rom but I am don't want that.
Sorry to be thick, and maybe I'm looking in a panic and getting lost but is there some instructions to follow to take it from 0.24 to being rooted and able to load custom roms. If I get to Clockwork mod I know how to use that to flash etc as I had it on my touchpad before I want completely to Android.
nv-flasable - what does that mean ? Can I check my serial number to know I can do it ? Stickers seems to have come off so not sure I know serial
Sorry for sounding confused and not looking enough - I really have tried but can't seem to get instructions that go from where I am to where I need to be !!!
Thanks again.
NvFlash
NvFlash is a utility that older tabs (With Sbkv1) can use to easily flash a recovery on the system. ASUS has basically two passkeys for the TF101 to get into APX mode, Sbkv1, and Sbkv2. Sbkv1 is the passkey everyone has, and Sbkv2 is currently unknown/locked. What Sbk you have is based on the serial number of your tablet (you can look at the box if you still have it, or find the stickers, also when did you purchase the tab, if it was before July 2011 then you for sure have Sbkv1, if not it may be Sbkv2) If your serial number starts with B60 or below (B50 B40 etc...) it has Sbkv1, if it has B70 or higher, it has Sbkv2. Find out what Sbk you have (it should be version one) then download NvFlash from Rayman's thread. Search nvflash unbricking released in the development forum. Once you have that get an NvFlashable recovery (I recommend Rouge XM touch recovery 1.5, since it reads from internal and external memory, again search in development.) Boot your tablet into APX mode and connect to your computer (Turn off, hold Volume-UP and power.) Install the driver, then follow instructions from NvFlash thread to flash the new recovery. Once you have this, you can place a ROM on your tab (All roms are pre-rooted, no need to install superuser) boot into your new CWM recovery with Power + Volume-DOWN, then press Volume-Up after a few seconds. Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik-cache, install zip from... find your ROM.zip (don't extract it) and install! Then reboot and let it install, after booting once, you can go back into CWM recovery to install a kernel.zip that you also place on your tab (I recommend Guevor's kernel, make sure you wipe cache and dalvik-cache again.) Then you're all set!
Any other Q's?
Ok. I think I follow all that. Many, many thanks.
I will go to work tomorow and look for the box, but I'm pretty sure it was bought before July 2011.
Need to do something, sure it's cos I am now counting but today held the record at 29 reboots ! Four within 8 minutes at one point.
I think I will go Android Revolution and the kernel you mentioned.
Would be great to bo rooted as I have Titanium license as well.
Thanks again. webOS forums were always good, XDA proving so as well.
Nvflash was just released for Sbkv2, so just use NvFlash, it's easiest good luck!
Thanks for following this up with the latest news !
As far as I can see the wheelie setup is for LINUX only ?
I'm on Windows 7, I could set it up as a dual boot but am complete newbie at Linux !
It's not that bad to set up, just download virtualbox from Oracle, then an ubuntu.iso installation, and run it as a virtual machine within windows. Easier than dual boot. It isn't too hard to set up, essentially download and extract.
So ...
Good news is got it rooted, clockworkmod installed (using the Rogue version that was suggested) and then went installed Android Revolution latest version. Did all the required resets, dalvik and cache wipes etc.
Great I, thought, until ...
All day to day it has rebooted frequently even though I installed no other s/w - just what comes with Android Revolution. It seems to more frequent when the device has powered down after a period of inactivity.
Is it now time to start thinking this is a h/w problem ?
Will a different custom ROM be worth a go or would a different kernel help (which I haven't tried yet) ? If so I wasn't sure which version of the suggested kernel (Guevors) I should go for as there seemed to a lot of them.
Once again, thanks for any and all time. NVFlash was a revelation and really not that hard once I had the drivers installed.
Have now installed v21 of the kernel and got CPU tuner to change minimum cpu speed, wasn't sure about voltages.
Is there a recommended way to set cpu speed, governors and voltages ?
At the point of thinking this will never be stable again. Not even getting 30 minutes without a random reboot.
Try version 17c of guevor's if 21 is giving you issues, and any Cm9 based build will have overclock change built in. I don't use overclock apps, they give me problems. Make sure you SuperWipe, then try reinstalling ARHD (or a aosp/aokp/etc rom) flash either 20.1version6 guevor or 17c and don't overclock (default it overclocks a bit to 1200). See if it is finally stable, if not you might have borked hardware :/
It's charging at the moment, after I night of rebooting I presume.
I've got the SuperWipe zip so I will run that (which I didn't before but did do a reset, cache and dalvik wipe) and then put Revolution on after that.
I looked at Megatrons ROM as well - any comments on its reliability ?
I've not noticed it only does it when the device has been left for a few minutes. If I keep using it and don't let it sleep then things seems OK.
Megatron is really stable, I've found. I like aosp better too.
Those who experience rr or SoD can downgrade via nvflash to Any custom rom , prime 1.4 for example, and then upgrade by way of cwm to an ics aopk to make those problems disappear?
EDIT: megatron is very stable and have an awesome battery life. And the pop ups telling us there's a new update is great too

Hi,
Have been away with unreliable internet access but am now back.
I'm starting to think there must be a h/w problem as nothing seems to make the thing stop rebooting. The only pattern I can see is that if the device is being charged (either from the mains or by being plugged in to the keyboard) then it seems to stay up. Not sure if a certain battery level makes a difference.
I went through the whole SuperWipe clean and Revolution install, then put on the 17c kernel (At least I think I did About shows 2.6.39.4-g8fc25a9-dirty for the kernel, is that right ?) and am still have lots of reboots.
Tried Megatron with the same kernel and couldn't get wifi but still got a couple of reboots.
Any other suggestions ?
Or does anyone know a way of getting repairs done on this in the UK ?
You'll want to RMA to ASUS if nothing works :/
