long time lurker and now I've finally screwed up enough to where I need to ask some questions.
Had my tf700 for a few weeks. rooted while on ics. installed goomanager to make back up. installed rootkeeper. have not installed any roms. Tried several times to get into recovery mgr but kept getting the triangle. so, today, I upgraded to jb. checked rootkeep and everythng was good. everythng had been good until I just downloaded that worthless beats audio app. now I'm stuck with a circle going round and round and cant do anythng else. could really use some help with some steps to take to fix this thing. Thanks - Dave

Try to go back into recovery by hold down volume down and power button until you see while text on the screen then release both buttons, now press the volume down button until the "wipe data" is highlighted, now press the volume up button twice to execute factory reset. Once done see if you can boot back into the OS.

Your bootloader/recovery image maybe corrupted. Next thing to do is to flash a full Asus firmware. This will wipe out your root.

Unzip the zip file downloaded from Asus site, the final file name should be "US_epad-user-10.4.4.16.zip", copy this file to the root of your micro sdcard. turn off your device, Insert the sdcard back into your device, boot into recovery, by default RCK should be highlighted, just hit the volume up button to execute the upgrade. If you have a red android, try to rename the file to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip" and try again. One thing that really bugged me is that wipe data (factory reset) did not work as normal, but ignore this for now.

Hi all,
Rumor has it I picked up a DEFY last week. Most people in the community know me for my work on the cliq/backflip/cliqxt. It's been quite some time since I posted any mods/work here on XDA so here we go. First I'd like to say thanks to Koush & Tenfar for the work they've done. They laid the ground work. I simply needed/wanted to improve on it more. I wanted to include the latest 2.5.1.x version since it has some bug fixes/new features also. So here you go. This recovery includes the latest 2.5.1.8 ClockworkMod Recovery, fixed fix_permssions script, and updated adb that allows root access when using adb shell. All your backups, downloads will reside in the clockworkmod directory on your sdcard just like a standard clockworkmod recovery. If you haven't noticed the fix_permissions script don't run properly via the recovery on the DroidX/Droid2/Defy. I simply fixed the script so it does work properly. Thanks again to both Koush & Tenfar. I'm looking into resolving the problem when you have USB debugging enabled you can't boot into recovery mode properly. This release still has that issue, just FYI. If you choose to use this version over Tenfar's, you'll need to un-install his version, install this one, & choose the option to install recovery once. After that, it's works the same way. Take care.
UPDATE: I've uploaded a new version to my 4shared as well as included it here. This new version simply adds a power off option to the menu & was a quick attempt to try to resolve the USB debugging option. I'll give it another try when I have time, until then, I hope you like having the option to power off your Defy from the recovery menu. I've also provided a link to the original version. Take care.
Steve, kb7sqi
Edit: Due to requests, I'm re-adding the link for this updated version. While I do have plans to come back to #android soon, until then, this will be unsupported by me till then. I'm glad it's been useful to others. Take care.

It's does exactly what it sounds like. It simply returns the "key" value when you touch keys/buttons on your phone. It's handy if you're wanting to update a recovery to use certain keys if your phone has them. Perfect example, on the cliqxt the phone has a touch pad. So in the version I created for it, instead of needing to use the volume up/down, you could also use the touchpad for up/down/select as well. Take care.

@OP
I didn't get enough information as to why the firmware upgrade was failing. I was also going you could pull an xml fastboot for me from your existing setup if you are still rooted.
Please download this software https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tranquilice.toolbox and make an xml backup of you're current phone. I also want the XML backup but it it's very large, so you should break it up into 100mb files using 7 zip and re-compress it. Then post it to your Dropbox. Don't worry this backup doesn't have any personal data.
Then you can download the update file from my Dev-host account here :
http://d-h.st/JNV
And save the file to your external sdcard.
Boot into recovery, then try to apply the update from sdcard, and write down exactly all the information it says (maybe take a picture of it using another camera). And send me all the information.
How to boot into recovery:
1) Power off phone completely
2) press and hold both volume buttons and at the same time press the power button.
3) use the volume down button to navigate the the recovery option, then press volume up.
4) an Android on the side will appear, now tot can proceed with updating
How to apply update in recoveyr mode:
1) press and hold both volume buttons while pressing power button
2) a menu will appear, use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select the option to update from external sdcard
3) find the update file and press the power button on it.
4) watch the update, if it fails please tell me all error messages, hopefully tot can take a picture for me.

Did you try to modify the update package? It looks like the update package doesn't have the same signature as it should.
Do not try to open up the ZIP file provided, just place it on the external SD card without touching it.
If you get another error after that, please the new error.
I'm having the same problem cause I deleted the bloat ware from my Rogers phone. From what I've been reading, I'm thinking about just staying on the 4.0.4.

"FDR" -> Factory/Full Data Reset does not replace applications that have been deleted.
The only way to fix is to put them back or RSD/Flash back to stock.
I hate these threads.
People remove apps and wonder why the upgrade doesn't work.
Don't remove factory applications, freeze/disable them!!!!!
Removing them will remove the ability to upgrade until the OS is back to stock.
The installer checks to make sure that the system and application area is untouched.

When it says your device cannot be trusted on boot, just hold down volume up (not before that warning comes up), then select download and install latest package. Your phone will be relocked and everything will be stock.

No for some reason when you hold it while on the warning screen it will bring up Huawei's E-Recovery instead of TWRP where he can download their firmware and the phone doing everything to restore it. I don't know why it does this, but you can also see it in action too with your phone. I accidentally did it when I installed TWRP at first, held it down and then it brought up E-Recovery instead of TWRP, but holding power and volume up before the warning screen brings up TWRP.
I guess Huawei wanted you to always be able to restore your phone if everything got corrupted.

No for some reason when you hold it while on the warning screen it will bring up Huawei's E-Recovery instead of TWRP where he can download their firmware and the phone doing everything to restore it. I don't know why it does this, but you can also see it in action too with your phone. I accidentally did it when I installed TWRP at first, held it down and then it brought up E-Recovery instead of TWRP, but holding power and volume up before the warning screen brings up TWRP.

Glad I could spread the info man!
And yeah I guess one of the only good things they decided to put into the software lol
But one thing that puzzles me is that there are all these complicated threads and methods about relocking and going to stock when it is so simple to use the E-Recovery, do they not know this method?
It erases all user data and apps too?

Most certainly it will.
So rule #1 applies: Always make a backup to your external microSD card.

Use the rollback package from Huawei
There is also a instruction how to rollback.
But you neer a external sd card for it.
Just search for it here in the forum or on the Website it self
Here is a small instruction but first make sure which model you have (frd-09/04....) The second and third post i think
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/help/totally-screwed-honor-8-t3556678
Download the right rollback stuff like firmware for your model!
If you need a deeper instruction PM me and i can help you out
I am a noob at this so it took me a while to figure it out.
First and foremost you have to be in stock marshmallow with stock recovery to be able to do this.
This is the SD card method. Idk how to do the ADB method.
1. Make sure you have your SD card as portable storage, not as internal storage. (Have to format your SD card or use another SD card)
2. Download the OTA https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3gPYUZ4nRLwOHJKQnNYczNEMHc/view?usp=sharing credit goes to @gokart2 for OTA
3. Move the ZIP inside your SD Card (I put mine in Downloads folder of my SD card) *Note* Per sources you can also save OTA in internal storage
4. Turn phone off
5. Hold down power button + volume down button until you see the stock menu
6. Press the volume up or down button to scroll though the list and when you find Recovery use power button to select it.
7. In recovery menu you will see a message saying "No command" don't worry. For this hold down the power button and tap the volume up button once and then let go of the power button. (You can try this couple times until you get it, It's kinda tricky)
8. Once you get in the recovery menu use the volume buttons to go to Flash update with SD card and use power button to select it, from there go to the directory where you put the update and select the OTA using power button.
9. Clear cache if you want and reboot.
10. Enjoy 7.0
That "no command" had me stumped".

For me the phone was much more snappier.
So far so good. All sensors working. Calls sounds good. Bluetooth connects. No FCs noted. Smooth and cool after a reboot.
Getting rid of 'unlocked bootloader" message after flashing
I used the image and process outlined here to get rid of the annoying 'unlocked bootloader" message after flashing the OTA manually. No problems noted. I have not tried replacing the animation.
kept on getting invalid signature or something like that. any suggestions

Try flash latest OTA first even you are at the latest build number.
You don't need a locked bootloader to sideload an OTA from the SD card.

Can you tell me which one is the latest build? so i can try that
I'm a little disappointed with my battery life on nougat so far to be honest, it's in general 30 mins - hour shorter then I was before the update. But everything seems to be super stable and my phone doesn't get any hotter then usual.
Used this system and now I'm running stock Nougat,so far so good,smoother than Marshmallow,now the question: Is there a way to root Nougat?
You should factory reset right after taking the update. Otherwise your battery life will be unpredictable but usually worse.
