[Q] How can i save him - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
At first I would like to apologise for my low English skills, but nevermind.
Sth bad happend to my transformer today. System continued to crash and i had to reboot it all the time. But, suddenly while rebooting and turning the tablet on, it stopped with black, lighted screen and nothing happenned. I thought that system has completely crashed so I decided to mount another one: Revolution HD 3.6. Unfortunatelly I had too old version ov recovery so i flashed this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213723
Unfortunatelly after I had flashed that i realised that i cannot flash zip files from sdcard by this recovery. I couldn't put files streight into my tablet's memory, cause of this system issue. I was (and i still am) terrified.
Then i found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012 . Tried to save my tablet this way, but it didn't work for me. I have no idea whan can I do yet.. Please help me, cause this device cost me too much to let it go.
Recovery still works, but it is useless for now. What is more, my pc find transformer "unknown device" when i connect it to usb.
And again, sorry for my bad English. If u won't understand sth, i'll try to explain it other way.
PLEASE, HELP ME.

Did you install the APX drivers from the Easy Flasher link you provided?

I did but I don't know how to install it.

[Q] Need help ics update wiped out my cwm

Hi every one,
My transformer was working fine... then came ICS, I was prey of the savage need to update, Made a backup with CWM and download the new rom.
What i did first was wipe cache and data, so far so good, flashed the ICS revolver beta, but in some point I screw it up and it just didnt boot anymore, just keep rebooting to CWM, couldnt turn off it keept rebooting, so I tryed flashing the new rom and... nothing it kept rebooting to CWM so I flashed back to revolver 3.1.* In booted OK, was runing fine till It crashed and restarted and couldnt get to CWM any more, Used NVFLASH trying to reinstall it but the screen stays off Windows detects it as a APX device but NVFLAS doesnt work since its a B70... it shows some letters in the screen but does nothing.
Please help me. Is there other way to install CWM maybe get acces to the files in the internal memory trough ADM or APX??
I would really apreciate any help, Im desperate!!!
Best regards,
IaxBay
Sounds like your recovery is missing. Can you still boot into revolver? If so reflash CWM recovery from within revolver.
Dead transformer?
Yes you are right, I think I messed up the CWM but cannot get into android at all.
Actually the tablet doesnt start, If I press the power button, or power+vol up or power+vol down... nothing works, but when I plug the usb windows recognice it and make the sound of device found, Actually It apears in device manager. I can get into APX, wich gives me hope... theres maybe a way to acces trough APX to install recovery or something...
If APX work and you have SBK v1, Tran Rouge has am nvflash version of their recovery
Yesss its alive!!!
Thanks so much to the creators of nvflash for saving my transformer.
it Actually my transformer happens to be a B70 I still it has to be SBK1.
Just follow thevinstructions of a video I found somewhere Ill post the link later cause i cannot seem to find it , anyway its working and im writing my horrible english in my revived tf101. Lesson lerned: READ A LOT about what your are going to do before you do it.
Thanks again XDA

Stuck no recovery. No nothing.

I have a sl101. I only get eeepad screen. My son did something to the machine. I can get it to say booting recovery but nothing happens. I also can get a text that says cold booting Linux. Again nothing happens. Nvflash says USB write fail. But when I check adb the device is recognized. Is there a way for me to adb push a recovery in there for me to boot too, so I can reflash a rom. I have a little dilema here. I also was wondering if I can flash rom thru adb. I read once that's how they used to do it on g1. I don't know if I am speaking accurately though. Any kind of light shed on me will be greatly appriciated

not sure about the slider but i had a customer return yesterday with this exact issue on the tf101 and i couldnt get out of it. the tf just kept switching itself back on and getting stuck on the splash screen.
found this set of instructions but im not sure if its what you need or if it will work:
http://androidroot.mobi/technical/asus-eee-pad-transformer-tf101-root-cwm-recovery/
good luck
That is exactly what is going on with mine. The slider is basicly the same thing. I plug it in and I tries to boot. I thought you had to be booted into recovery or the rom for adb to work? That's why I believe this method you just revealed to me. Or some variation of it will work. I will be trying shortly.

nvflash if your TF101 is compatible model.. (must B60 and below).
Or read Wolf's thread HERE. It might helped everyone here..
Thanks but everything needs adb connexion and as apx is not working, i can't connect ADB..
I have a B50 model
Nobody have a clue ?
well, I have to send it back to my reseller that will change it but before that I need to delete clockwork mode or brick it, how can i do ?
I tried every thread here, update rom does nothing, looks like it does not write anything on the tablet
Thanks in advance
try to follow this procedure...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25636698&postcount=5
let me know
Hello, thanks, but as I can't get to apx mode, I can't use nvflash, so still stuck with my recovery, I tried to modify super Wipe package to do things but can't get through...
If someone can make a package to delete recovery, then I can try it on my tablet, I really yneed it to be bricked cause now it load with Rogue's recovery on and on, so the reseller will new it has been modified and I will have to pay to get it back ...
Thanks in advance
with the procedure posted in the previous link you don't need APX mode and don't need NVflash...
Just boot your TF in recovery mode and plug it to your pc...
remove all previous drivers and install the new one that you can find in the post
ciao
ps... at the end of the procedure you will have your TF101 with stock rom and stock recovery
I will try but even when I am on recovery, nothing appears in Hardware management, no recognition from My computer, still strange... And when I power + vol down key, It never says to presse vol up in the text in the upper left corner, just says booting linux kernel...
When I try to boot pressing vol up + power, nothing happens, not even the clics that can be heard when it powers up...
I had a similar issue when I used SuperWipe and discovered my ROM on the external SD Card could not be accessed by CWM
I tried pushing the file with adb but kept receiving errors - protocol, etc. I suspected it was a driver issue along with the fact that 64 bit systems don't always play nicely with drivers. I actually dug up an old hard drive and did a very basic install of 32bit Win7. I booted the Transformer into CWM and when I connected it to my PC - I pointed it to the universal naked driver. I was then able to successfully push the rom to internal storage and used CWM to flash it
Hello,
I tried to connect my tablet to an old Windows 2000, but still nothing happens
Hello every one, I finally sendt back my transformer to my reseller, now I can buy a new one...
Thanks again

Bricked and Stuck

Hello, first time posted, long time browser...
So, I have a bricked (or almost totally bricked) LG G2X. Here is what I did:
I had flashed the Hellfire Sandwich 1.9 rom and was just fine...until my phone started turning off randomly. After reading somewhere here that I should nullify my phone and the re-flash the rom in order to fix my issue.
So, I backed up my data and downloaded the Aroma Nullifier from Volk (thanks for all you do). I booted to recovery and ran the Nullifier. Once the Nullifier had stopped, still while in Recovery, I tried to access my sdcard to re-flash my Rom...well, I couldn't access my SD card. Furthermore, I couldn't unmount the SD or mount the USB Storage.
Here comes the big mistake:
So, as I was doing some research about how to proceed, my USB cord wiggled out of the phone and my phone lost power. Now, since I had read from Volk not to let that happen, I knew I was in trouble.
At this point, I can only load into the LG Boot Screen and my computer loads drivers for "Asus Android Device" (I have the Asus Transformer Prime Tablet) and under that title "Asus Android Bootloader Interface". No APX, No USB Controller....no other communication.
Last little note, I took the phone to the Tmobile store on a hunch one of the guys who works there had some experience (which he did), and while he was trying to boot into recovery from battery power (something I have been unable to do) he got the USB communication interface...something like "S/W Do not disconnect".... Since then, I have not been able to reproduce that interface.
I am at the end of my abilities...I haven't seen anything that addresses this particular problem though I have tried a bunch of solutions without success. I have looked all through XDA forums, but if there is one I missed, please let me know.
Any thoughts would be very helpful.

If you haven't already, I recommend looking into nvflash. I'm almost certain you'll be able to fix this. nvflash works at a very low level, requiring that you connect your phone without a battery using a special startup sequence. You will need the APX driver (for Windows) to make it recognize your phone in this recovery mode. At that point, you should be able to flash CWM using nvflash and go from there. If you can't get into recovery, I seem to recall flashing the stock ROM itself with nvflash.
This thread should help you: forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/t-1503546.html (I can't link yet)
Specifically, the link in the "I solved it" post.
Good luck, and let us know when you get it working :good:

Thanks for the thoughts. I will try that all again, but I have tried nvflash and tried updating APX drivers. My computer only recognizes the phone as an "Android Bootloader Interface". When I try to manually update/change the drivers for the "Android Device", there is a problem with 64-Bit operating System (Windows 7 Home Premium). I was going to try to boot the computer in Safe Mode, but I don't know if that will help.
I haven't been able to communicate with the phone, and only saw the S/W Upgrade screen once and that was in the Tmobile store without access to my computer.
I am going to try those suggested steps again. Thanks again.
Leigh
Got it going....
THANKS SO MUCH. I knew I was missing something stupid. I kept reading the nvflash instructions and pressing the Power and Volume Down button instead of Volume Up and Down.
Things are going again. Thanks so much.

flashing problems

I’m stuck without knowing what to do next.
What did I do? A lot, not knowning exact in which order. I started with stock ICS ROM, rooted and unlocked.
First I tried to install NVFlash, but because in the ATX mode the TF300T wasn’t recognized on my PC the last steps didn’t succeed. Trying all the drivers suggested on this forum didn’t help to solve it.
Though I can manage a connection with the PC in ATX and USB mode. Adb commands works.
I have TWRP installed because I want to ‘see’ the miniSD card for flashing.
When I try to install stock ROM I get the message: unable to Mount “\staging”. Installation failed.
A full whipe and whiping Dalvik are done with no effect.
When I try to install a JB ROM it looks as if it’s succesful, but after a reboot the black screen with bootloader in the left upper corner and NVidia logo right under keeps looking at me.
So turning back to ICS stock doesn’t work and JB neither.
I thought to have a wrong bootloader but which do I need and how to install?
Reading 200 pages for a solution didn’t work for me, maybe I looked at the wrong places but I’m at the end of solutions.
If anyone can help me I’m very gratefull
Regards, Henk-Jan
problem solved

What did I do to solve it? Taking the right stock rom
I thought I had to flash 9.4.3.30 but it had to be 9.4.3.29 and that did the trick
I'm happy now
That's great to hear you got your tablet working again. Great job! Maybe next time post this in the Q&A forum where it belongs.

[Q] Big problem: cant mount SD&cant connect to PC

Hello guys,
Long time reader, first time poster over here.
I'm having a serious problem and wouldn't bother you with it, but i've scrolled through hundreds of forumposts, tried serveral things but haven't find the solution yet. (because the problems in those posts are only a part of my problem :s)
So I hope, by posting and explaining it myself, you guys can help me fixing my HTC One S (wouldn't want to lose it this way -.- )
Here it goes: my phone has been rooted for more than a year now, i've used several ROMs, been through some problems but no big deal and was able to solve them myself).
A couple of months ago, I decided to try the newest Cyanogen (11) mod based on Android 4.4, needed a new recovery but got it installed and working fine.
After a while I installed a Nightly update, and after that the trouble started and went from bad to worse to nearly death
first of all the phone kept rebooting at total random moments, enormously frustrating!
so I decided to do another update, after this update, I wasn't able to turn my Wi-Fi on
No big deal i thought, but after a while it began to annoy me, so another Nightly update was incoming
After this update **** really got messy, the message "com.android.systemui has stopped" kept popping up and the only thing I could do was click OK, then it popped back up -> OK -> and so on and so on
so my phone was as good as useless at this point
At this point I've had it with this ROM, so I put another one on my internal SD card (via coupling with my PC): Beanstalk 4.4 STABLE
This new ROM actually was installed as an update of the previous one, so the damned message "com.android.systemui has stopped" was still popping up constantly.
At that point I totally had it with 4.4 and decided to put an older ROM on it with which i've had had a good experience.
And that's where **** got fcked up:
When I go into recovery (CMW 6.0.4.5) and want to access my internal storage, it says "E: can't mount /storage/sdcard0"
So I wanted to connect to my pc to flash a new ROM to my device using Fastboot, but my pc isn't recognizing my phone and neither is Fastboot.
In fastboot, when I try "fastboot device" it keeps searching and doesn't find my device.
My PC however sees my phone, cause I hear the usbconnection sound when they're coupled, but it isn't showing up as a Removable Storage Device.
So to summarize:
once my phone is booted, i can't do anything apart from clicking OK on the "com.android.systemui has stopped" alert
in recovery, i can't mount my internal storage
when 'connected' to the PC, the PC and fastboot can't detect the device.
Other info:
i've tried it on a pc running W7 and W8
phone is HTC One S S4
I hope you guys can help me out here!

I've had success getting a connection to Windows just be using a different USB port, the ones at the back are best. Then at least you get fastboot access...But I also still have the problem with the sdcard, still working on that, trying to figure out a way to fix it from fastboot...
any progress yet rosanna? I was also able to make the connection with my pc, by using the usb ports on the back (thanks for that!). But I haven't been able to mount my sd card yet. I tried with another recovery but that didn't do the trick.
I got into the UI of my current ROM, and then my pc said I needed to format the SD before I could use it.
But I wasn't sure this is a good idea to do in windows.
Anyone know if it is save to format your internal sd card when prompted to do so in windows?
Have a look here

Try using a Linux live cd (try Ubuntu). You'll need a blank DVD to burn the iso to. Reboot your computer and see if it recognizes your device (no drivers needed). If it does try a more stable build this time.

I did read through that thread and tried it.
But i'm not quite sure everything went as plannend.
I even think it went wrong on the first step, flashing back to the stock recovery. This one isn't included in the all in one toolkit right?
So I started searching for one myself (I have an S4 VLE version of the phone) but I haven't downloaded one yet, although I've seen links that bring me to new links and so on and so on, I wasn't quite sure which link to trust.
If you could help me further I would really appreciate it

1 minute - downloadlink is on the way
Here you are: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2622663&d=1394422408
You can flash it with the toolkit selecting "Custom recovery".
When you're Storage is back alive and kickin' you can flash a custom revovery again.
My favourites are
TWRP 2.7.0.0 - http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/ville/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-ville.img
and
PhilZ advanced CWM - http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/ville
In my opinion TWRP is easiest to handle and PhilZ has some more features.

Another direct link here, I personally flashed it manually trough fastboot, for me the easiest and fastest way to do it. Then proceed to the clear storage and flash your custom recovery (like @LS.xD I recommend TWRP but this is your choice )
THX Guys! :victory:
Thanks to your links to the stockrecovery, my phone is back alive and kicking.
I feared for a while for my phone, but on the other hand I knew the xda community would help me fix it!
1000 times thanks :good::laugh:
