(HELP) Failed root.

I tried to one-click root my TB and now my device is stuck on 1.03.605.10 (With no root.) I've tried to return to stock rom but I must be rooted to do so.
(SOLVED Thanks Everyone Bless and good day.)

First off I don't believe you need to be rooted to return to stock. Just put the RUU on your sd card and boot into recovery.
Second there is really no way of us helping you if you used an automated root. I guess you could post the method you used and we could check and see any errors in the code.

Sounds like you disconnected or stopped it during the root process? If it's using the non-one click method for its approach you should consider figuring out the step in the instructions for manual root it crashed at and try to finish the process. Mind you I did it via the manual approach so not really sure how the one click method works; however, that's my advice.

Thanks for the response. I can't find the website where I got it from But basically its just like the regular root except I didn't have to keep copying and pasting in the terminal, the 1-Click did it for me. Also how do I boot into recovery. (I'm new to android (Came from a blackberry Storm & Tour).. Again thanks for the responses.

Hmm You are right.. I do remember the Terminal cutting off during the root. The last thing I remember was the phone being on the screen with the skateboarding droids and the last thing I remember it doing was "Updating".
My whole purpose for rooting was to get rid of the bloat ware and now its like 20x worst.
Again Thanks everyone in advance.

hold volume down while holding the power button will get you into bootloader. So find the stock PG05IMG place it on your SD card. Get in bootloader and follow instuctions.

My phone is not even connecting to the internet anymore. It stays on 1x with 2 bars of signal max.

This is why we do NOT use auto root/easy root methods. Too many things can **** up. I highly advise you to download the stock shipped RUU and then procede to follow the manual root method located here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...he-htc-thunderbolt-and-unlock-its-bootloader/
If you have any other questions or issues, feel free to contact me on here via PM or on the AndIRC chat room #thunderbolt. Good luck!

Follow this process:
Pull the battery out
Place battery back in
Hold down Power + Volume Down until the bootloader comes up
This WILL take some time, do NOT release these buttons until the bootloader is up!

Thanks. it works now I'm in the boot loader now. Thanks

Let me ask this, does the phone actually start up when you attempt to start it? Can you get to your home screen?
Also, I personally have not encountered the safe mode message so I am not 100% on that. Are there any other messages or text on the screen?

Yeah it started up. I got it back to stock thanks to your advice. I'm gonna retry and do it the long way instead of taking shortcuts. Thanks sooo much for your help I really do appreciate it!!

To all: Make sure that you do a clean flash when coming to this Rom and to make sure you flash the boot.img that comes with it. You should show 172 apps on boot or so. If not, make sure to reflash. For theme stuff: If you guys have any requests, I'm open to adding in unique color choices!

Mine only updated 168 apps, now I have no google play svcs. Of course I did a back up before I flashed, I would like to try to reflash the rom or flash my back up, but I can not get back into TWRP recovery....help
And I do not see in power options anywhere to turn off quickboot

Restart your phone. As soon as the HTC Blue Logo disappears, hold volume-down and the power button at the same time and don't let go I Tim your phone reboots into hboot.
Another method is to hook your phone up to your computer that has adb. Open a command prompt in the folder you have adb and type: adb reboot recovery
That will send you into recovery.

Sounds like you have a update file on your external sdcard and the boot loader is reading it. If you try entering recovery this way, eject your sdcard until you get a chance to rename that file to something else then try this method again. Otherwise, use the adb method for going into recovery.

I noticed that when device is inactive for a long period wifi disconnects and the only way to get it back is to restart. Can't give a exact amount of time, has happened overnight and when I wake I have to restart to get wifi back....it says wifi is on but just keeps scanning. I also just had WiFi completely Crap out for no reason, was not inactive.

Just one question, is smart lock? not in the ROM? The one where if you have Bluetooth device no need to unlock the password

WiFi issue as well on sense roms
I love this ROM its my favorite but I also have this WiFi bug where if I have the fphone
sitting screen off idle the WiFi disconnect and it no longer scans and
I have to toggle it off and on and it takes a really long time to toggle. anyone
else experiencing this or found a solution. I've only seen this on Roms with
sense integrated.

The problem is due to firmware not being up to date and is usually resolved by updating to the latest available firmware.

Help CyanogenMod Nightly + root

Hi all, please excuse me I'm a noob and I have a BIG problem.
I have the latest CyanogenMod installed. But for some reason I have not been able to root my Z3. I powered on the phone and pressed volume and got into CyanogenMod Recovery. But then I don't know what to do. I need to root my phone and I want to use some other ROM than CyanogenMod. Tried UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.16 in recovery mode and also gieroot when the phone is on. But nothing works. Maybe I have done something wrong?
Please, any help will be much appriciated.

To enable root access you have to activate the Developer Menu by touching 7 times on the Build Number in Settings → About Phone/Tablet.

Yes I know, but that option isn't available since I was running CyanogenMod. But no worries I reverted back to stock rom. So please close this thread.

Write Protection Off

I have recently gotten an HTC One E8.
I have unlocked the bootloader but I need to get write protection off, however, all the solutions I have found so far are older and not usable. Any help would be greatly apprecieated.
Android Version 5.0.2
HTC Sense Version 6.0
Software version 2.32.651.11

Isn't removing write protection for the file system different?
Having S-off would allow me to install a custom ROM, but there is not much out there for the E8.
Correct me if I'm wrong on this.

IIRC S-OFF will turn off the write protection. Another option is to flash a custom kernel. I used to have one on my Asia E8 and so that I could make changes to /system even though my phone was S-ON.

You can find SchKernel without system write protection in next thread here. I have uploaded 3.5 version, look at recent reply

You are welcome.
Rest assured you do have a bootloader. You may not have the bootloader interface the other Transformers have and possibly there is no way to get fastboot to work on this thing - I don't know.
There is no custom rom for this tablet, and if you do not want to loose 4G you cannot use one made for another Transformer either (no idea if that is even possible, I do not know the KL).
Your best bet is to gain root and uninstall a bunch of cr**, maybe use Greenify - I don't know. Very limited what you can do on stock....
I seem to recall that people got root with Framaroot on this thing. Google it, the info is out there. If I can find it so can you

ok let me get to the keypoints here that made me ask for help, and so you'll see that i'm not just a lazy person that doesn't use google
1) Some people they say that the KL can accept all the roms of the Tf700T. for example katkiss is saying to use one of their roms
1.a) some say that it will brick the device.
so, first question here, what will happen if i'll get a custom rom of the TF700T?
2) some people say that I should have a version of the "unlock bootloder" after unlocking with the asus app.
Well I don't have anything, I just have a small phrase which is "device unlocked" and that's it. nothing else.
3) some say on google that there is a cyanogen mod for the KL. Unfortunately cyanogenmod wiki and forum are down, so I can't find either assistance, either the files.
nothing to do here, then.
4) let's say I'll follow your guide, and i'll flash a custom rom. will I lose the 4g?
4.a) how can I get to the old rom, even original, in order to get 4g back?
5) about root: i managed to root it a long time ago. Unfortunately, even disabling most of the package and all the bloatware, the device really sucks.
that's the main reason why I abandoned there 3 years ago. now it's full of dust, and as I've been working a lot, I wanted to get it back with basic functions, but without waiting 10 seconds from the moment i press on APPS BUTTON and the actual time for which I see the apps page.
so, here's my google searching experience.

I'd say the first question is: Is there a compatible custom recovery for the KL and how to install it? I do not know that there ever was a custom recovery made for the KL and using one made for another Transformer may or may not brick your device. I do not see a single post from anyone stating that they successfully installed a custom rom or recovery on the KL, so my guess is: It cannot be done unless you develop a custom recovery for this tablet and find a way to flash it.
2) some people say that I should have a version of the "unlock bootloder" after unlocking with the asus app.

Well, there's the first difference to other Transformers: Most of them have a bootloader menu from where you can boot into recovery or into Android and perform a data wipe. Booted into the bootloader you also have fastboot access. The KL does not seem to have any of this. Do you have fastboot working on your PC? Try it, boot with Vol down or Vol Up and then check if you have fastboot access to the tablet. I doubt it....

You cannot follow my guide unless you figure out a way to get fastboot working. You could try to flash TWRP recovery using their app or Flashify, but which TWRP?? Which version might be compatible with your bootloader? Nobody knows it seems. But heck! What have you got to loose? You are not going to use the tablet in its current state anyway, so if you brick it - who cares?
But to answer your question: Yes, you would definitely loose the 4G. The software for your modem has its own partition and no rom made for the wifi-only Transformers even knows this partition exists, let alone about the hardware

Again: Untested territory. If you had a custom recovery or fastboot you might be able to flash the Asus firmware in either. Maybe

You need to boot into the TWRP that you flashed, hold the volume button down and press the power button (hold both) until you get the fastboot screen, the square with [RCK] should be blinking. Now press the volume up button to enter the TWRP recovery console. - NP

I've been trying to find the threads on how to re-flash the stock ASUS ROM from the SD cardseeing this is the only way to get the TF700k working but I can't find it know. It involved have the ROM in the root directory on the SDcard and giving it a specific name, this name triggers the tablet to update itself. - NP
