Hi all, New guy here.
i was told to check out this site to see if i could fine the solution to my issue with a used TF101 i purchased.
i am not fluent with tablets and rooting, etc. so bare with me.
The problem is that when i received the tablet the on screen keyboard was filled with some japaneese writing where the keys were.
Which confused me, i went into the settings and changed the setings to the qwerty style keyboard and everything looked right on the touch screen, but when i docked the unit onto the keyboard dock, some of the keys would not type the corresponding letters or symbols,
such as when pressing shift and the underline, i would end up with the squigly line left of the number one, and other keys would not work properly either.
i asked around and my findings were that the unit was running a stock japaneese honeycomb build ROM,
(my current build is Htk75.jp_epad-8.6.5.13-20110925)
and that i would have to install a new rom to get the keyboard to work properly i have looked at the how to root in the asus section, and it said that i must be running ice cream sandwhich, can someone help me understand what i need to do and what steps i need to take to fix this without creating a paperweight.
the info i have so far
ASUS TF101-1B218A 32gig currently without micro sd in the slot ( will change this weekend when i purchase one)
my build = Htk75.jp_epad-8.6.5.13-20110925
when pressing the power and the volume down key and then the up key, i receive the green android guy with a exclamation point in the center.
i have downloaded the zip file from asus for the us build rom, and put the unzipped zip file into the sdcard directory, and rebooted,
but i was told that it should try to update itself after i rebooted, but nothing had changed at all, still the same without any update notifications etc.
sorry for the length, but any help will be appreciated and i will thank you in advance for info you may have.
thanks
mike

Thx for the post Lennyomar
Your post helped me Hard Reset my Sharper Image PUERHITECH 202TSI phone that I bought from ebay locked with a password and couldn't figure out for the world how to hard reset the darn thing.
Step one
1. Power + left + right + back(next to the right soft key) buttons while system is still powered on.
Keep trying till you see the screen change to blue with the words "Clear Storage"
2. I had to press the letter "Y" (I think it helped?) and the "ENTER" button at the right corner of the keypad.
The screen turns black for a few seconds comes on with the sharper image logo and stays there re-imaging the phone. After about 2 minutes of waiting, voila! WinMo oh my GOD 6. Pretty ancient but it worked.
Now if someone can help me uograde to WINMO 6.5 would be great.
I realize this is an old thread, but just in case anyone is following it: I downloaded and installed EnableGPS (google it) which was made for an HTC phone, but it worked to enabel the internal GPS on this phone. I now have an active internal GPS that works with NoviGPS and will hopefully work with others. Now if I can only determine if there is WiFi (there are references in the registry) and get it enabled, then I will be so-o-o happy!
Amoi 6711 or Alcatel 202TSI or VDA-GPS or....
This device is similiar to toshiba g710 and vda-gps so there is no hidden wifi sorry... there is no possibilitiy to have wifi... but tell me about this gps trick you did? where did you found it?
The file is attached. Use at your own risk, but it worked for me, GPS is now accessable. Try also downloading and installing GpsTest from Chartcross. It will show you your working GPS. Enjoy!
It does not work for me it shows gps in garmin xt bud doesnt find any satellite
Hi all
Today I was trying to get my nexus s onto the official ota ICS update by flashing it manually, following guides other people had had success with.
I was on the cm9 ics beta, so I had to flash the full rom of 2.3.6.
This worked completely, however I think the ota update file I downloaded was corrupted, as flashing didn't work, it said something about signature verification failed. So I redownloaded it, from the same link, and the new one was bigger. I tried that, and the same error. I tried wiping data/factory reset etc, and I accidentally started to flash a cm7 rom I had on my phone.
I stupidly did a battery pull as it started to flash (the back cover was off already), and now my touchscreen doesn't work. I was able to successfully flash other roms including the 2.3.6 I downloaded, and I couldn't do the first setup procedure (touch the android to begin). I tried cleaning the screen very carefully with 90% isopropyl alcohol, the same stuff I use to replace thermal paste on cpus.
It still doesn't work. I am hoping it is a software issue that can be fixed otherwise I have to return it.
Someone please help
I have used the search function and none of the solutions I found worked.
(UPDATE) I rebooted again, and when the phone booted into cm7, the "internet" icon(the globe picture) on the bottom left of the dock was in the "pressed" state(orange). It was like the phone thought I was holding my finger on it, which suggested a hardware issue. I cleaned it again and nothing changed. Then I held the phone in the landscape position. When the screen rotated, the button stayed pressed. So the phone doesn't think "this part of the screen is being pressed" it thinks "this internet icon" is being pressed. Rotating the phone again and again didn't change anything, the icon was still pressed in.
Defiantly a software issue. I would try to unroot and reroot. Then if it is still not working, try to format the SD card. You may want to considering buying a USB to micro USB adapter to help you, considering then u could plug in a mouse. I have one just in case I need it.
Thank me if any of this helped
Also try and keep this updated with new info. If I can't help, maybe someone else can.
Sent from my XT862 using XDA App
Thanks techno-update, I will try that. I haven't "unrooted" before, Is that just typing fastboot oem lock or whatever it is instead of fastboot oem unlock?
Also, I found a youtube video with the EXACT same problem.
v=zpfE15Xw_os&feature=related
Skip to 3:15, and you will see when he opens the power menu, the phone thinks he is pressing on one of the options, but he isn't.
I will let you know how unrooting and rerooting goes.
Thanks
(UPDATE)
I tried unrooting and then rooting again. It still does the same thing.
Even in cwr I can't use the capacitive buttons to navigate menus, does that rule out software problems? I am really hoping its just a software problem :/
I need my phone for an outing tonight (im in australia, its 5pm now) and I would appreciate it if some genius could solve this
I am usually the "go to fix it IT guy" in my area, but I can't figure this one out. I have tried formatting the phone, reflashing the mod etc.
Is there some more aggressive COMPLETE wipe or something that fully wipes the phone?
UPDATE 2
Guys please help,
I just flashed zulugen mod, as it has the trinity kernel, I don't know much about android os, but I hoped that that might replace the touchscreen driver or something. The rom flashed correctly, but touchscreen and the capacitive buttons still don't work. Please help
Guys, is there some sort of system partition where the touchscreen drivers are kept or something? And when I pulled the battery as it was flashing cm7, it corrupted these?
Is there some way to fix this?
bump
bump. I need help with this urgently. Is it possible the connections for the screen came loose inside? I would crack it open but don't have screwdrivers for the 3 smaller screws on the last layer of plastic before the pc board.
Hi, im from brazil and i found thi forrum at internet. This yeah my uncle went in usa and brought a viewsonic g tablet for me.
I have been useing my tablet normaly. Yesterday he started 'search' and 'back' automatically, all the time, as if the buttons laterals Were touched. I'm mad about it, the tablet already formatted but nothing. I hope you can help me
It might be a hardware problem if you get it all the time. If you can, install clockwork mod recovery and see if it's a problem for that as well. If so, you can always either send it back for repair or disable the buttons and use DRH's ICS ROM which will have everything you need right on the screen (since Google is moving toward button-free tablets and phones).
Hi everyone,
Is there anyway to hide the mouse cursor when using the docks touchpad?
Im using DosBox Turbo and its very confusing when you can see 2 mouse cursors on the screen, Does anyone know if it can be hidden either within the emulator settings or the TF101 settings.
Many thanks in advanced.
Needs a version of CWM recovery, flash the preferred zip. (No-circle in your case)
Pointer without circle click.
Thanks for your quick reply,
Ive flashed the zip but now its stuck on the Asus loading screen with the circle.
Any ideas?
Im on ICS Revolver.
The zip was designed for aosp based w.w so it might cause problems. You can get into recovery fine right? try reflashing the revolver rom over it and should boot up
Yep ive reflashed the Rom and everythings back to normal, I should read the entire thread before I jump in and start flashing things ,
Anyway this is on hold at the moment because now my transformer wont charge due to a loose connection in the usb cable, Thing is aswell I dont think theres anywhere locally were I can by one so gonna have to order online and wait
Update:
New usb cable arrived today and tablet now fully charged.
Still havent got rid of my cursor at the moment, Im happy with my current rom and dont fancy changing it, Does anyone know if there are any mods to Revolver rom to hide the cursor or can the other mod by modified??
can't find this info anywhere but please redirect me to appropriate page if i've missed it.
using android 5.1 DU test-v9.2 on nexus 5 32Gb
this has been stable for a few weeks until i changed themes today. i backedup via cwm up after installing theme, on reboot i can't get past screen for sim pin.
i press the onscreen keys, the keys show they have been pressed, but there is no sound or vibration and the numbers don't appear above the keypad.
as i can't get past this i can't use the phone.
changing to the last good backup does not fix this.
I've had to do a factory format and reinstall to get back to a working phone. Though it occurred to me in the middle of the process i could remove the sim and change the settings back.
anyone know what's going on? I suspect it may have something to do with fonts but have nothing to base that on.
thanks
