Cross flashed TF700? - Asus Transformer TF700

I would like to ask something, what I've read is not possible. I think I've just cross flashed a WW model TF700 to US.
1. I didn't know which model I had, but the recovery started with saying WW
2. I flashed TF700_421_US_BootRec_Flasher_Signed
3. After rebooting, it had the blue bars go to full, and I was stuck at the Asus screen as I had no ROM.
4. This moment I thought I bricked the device. It went black for minutes nothing happened, except for Vol Down + Power up for 5 minutes.
5. Somehow I was able to start it. Now is starts with US recovery... Strange!
How do I know if I have US model or WW model? Is it possible to know it from serial number?

the question is where do you live and do you know what's the original model when you purchased the tablet? In reality, you can use either US or WW as long as you flash the correct SKU bootloader and use the same SKU rom version.

OK I realized I was on a WW model, since after unlocking + flashing TWRP, it started with WW on top! This is actually I think the best way to check which model you are on!
Later I cross flashed to US, and the tablet started! But I cross flashed back to WW and it works fine!

Lost baseband while updating or rooting Lollipop

Hi guys. I bought my Shield Tablet LTE on Amazon. Somehow, while updating, flashing cwm, flashing boot, etc. in order to root Lollipop, I JUST realized (after a couple of hours) that I have lost the baseband on my tablet. Everything works smoothly, but when I go into About -- Device -- Baseband --> UNKNOWN
Could it be I flashed the US version of LTE and my shield that I bought from Amazon was LTE but not ATT branded?
Is there something I can do to restore the baseband so I don't have to go and install everything again?
Thanks!
Carlos
fixed it. I had used the wrong boot image.... my Shield Tablet was bought from Amazon, unbranded LTE. I had used the International LTE boot image, not the US as I mentioned above. With the US LTE image everything worked. Sorry for this confusion.

I had the same issue after I OTG my LTE to Nougat. After I did a factory reset, I lost baseband/IMEI. I contacted Nvidia and advised me to flash stock recovery image. I confirmed my LTE is International so was recommended to use RoW image. After I successfully flashed the tablet, it got stuck on reboot loop. Homescreen comes on for 3 seconds and I could make out no SIM detected, but unable to use tablet as it keeps rebooting. Did you have the same issue when you used the RoW image instead of USA?

LG G2 service disabled and can't soft/hard reset, no IMEI

I noticed that network coverage lost, service disabled was displayed. I put in different SIM card - no success. Checked IMEI - unkonown. Can't enter mobile network preferences(grayed out). Tried to reset through software, nothing happens. Then tried to reset by holding power+down key and after logo flash release power and press again power does'n work. I tried different combination, nothing happens. Then I entered 3845#*802# and when trying to to reset from there - again nothing happens. Tried to select network type in *#*#*#4636#*#*#* and it is changing back to unknown. Phone seems to be very slow and 4636 code needs some 5 minutes to start working.
What could be wrong? I'm out of warranty and have phone only 6 months. I haven't been messing with roms or rooting.

Thank you rico_g01
So I have to look for D80220f ROM version and flash?
Do you reckon it is the only way? I'll flash it, but I would like to know what could cause such a behavior.
Downloade and flash the latest firmware d80230a 5.0.2 from lg-phone-firmware

I opened LG G2 firmware page and got confused. I'm using phone in Ireland, but phone was bought in Latvia(Baltics). Which version should I choose?
I'm now trying to push through sales man who sold me phone to take it for repair, if it does not goes through, I'm going to flash. Never done flashing, so I'll leave it as last resort option.
You can downloade any firmware that is open for the d802
I have on my LG g2 PORTUGAL_OPEN_16G the latest one

newbie seeking help: which rom and how

greetings,
I recently inherently a Samsung Note Edge (SCL24). The phone is showing its age. It is on its default rom (4.4.4) but many things aren't work. For example, it is extremely slow; it won't remember wifi passwords, etc. I am hoping that by flashing a new rom I may bring it back to life.
The spec is listed below:
SCL24
Adroid 4.4.4
Baseband: SCL24KDU1ANJ3
as I am browsing through this forum, I am a bit confused as to the flashing procedure. Assuming it is the same as every other phones I have flashed, I suppose I would need to root it, install a recovery, possibly a new basebank, and then a new rom.
Is there a guide as to how to do this for this particular phone? It has been a while
any help, and suggestion as to which rom to flash, would be very much appreciated.
ps. I am not looking for anything fancy, but in the past I've always used slim rom.
regards,

Try a factory reset first.
done that many times
This phone was purchased in Hong Kong and other than the model number "SCL24" I couldn't find any other information. Judging from this forum, looks like there are many variations on this phone (vendors in North America, Japan, and others common in south asia). Also from this forum I realized that I probably need to update the baseband in order to flash any new ROMS (post kitkat).
Hence I seek your help,
regards,

Interesting.
Is this an international phone?
I tried asking about custom ROMS for my phone (don't want brick it) and didn't receive any responses.
I did do a Google search and didn't find much of anything.
I did download Marshmallow from Sammobile and have been gutting pretty heavily.
I guess after this much time, interest is fading.
problem solved, for now
As I mentioned earlier, this phone was purchased in Hong Kong and the model number was listed as SCL24. Following the thread on Project_ECSTASY (https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...rojectecstasy-custom-rom-galaxy-note-t3545658), I managed to flash the "Global edition stock rom without any bloatware from carrier au" using odin. The step I followed was:
1) installed samsung USB drivers for the phone (directly from samsung website),
2) downloaded and executed Odin,
3) rebooted the phone into Odin mode (vol down, home, and power),
4) connected the phone to computer via USB,
5) updated the rom through Odin.
6) once the phone rebooted, factory reset
I have not had much opportunity to play with the phone but it seemed to be working thus far. I have not had a chance to put a SIM card into it so I don't know if the new rom/Odin also flashed a new baseband and if the radio works.
will report back tonight,

How to figure out specifically which version of device I have?

I recently bought this tablet . I reside in Canada, and I was under the impression that this would be a Canada (XAC) model. However, when my idiot self forgot to toggle on Enable OEM unlock and restarted my tablet after flashing TWRP, I am faced with an issue because Im not sure which stock firmware to flash with Odin. My tablet says that FRP lock prevents it from entering custom recovery. I basically softbricked by device and Im trying to figure out which firmware to download.
It was running Marshmallow, so I figured I'd head over here and grab the 6.0.1 firmware.. only to be faced with a big middle finger by my device. Anyway, the Amazon listing says the model number is SM-T580NZKAXAR.. is that XAC?

[HELP] SM-G930F stuck in boot loop after flashing wrong stock firmware

A while ago, I installed TWRP and then flashed Pixel Experience (herolte) onto my SM-G930F, but experienced some problems with it, namely random freezes and temporary boot loops, and decided to revert back to stock firmware.
I accidentally flashed SM-G930FD firmware instead of SM-G930F firmware, and now I am unable to re-flash and get out of a boot loop. I can boot into download mode and ODIN recognizes it, but whenever I boot into recovery mode, it will crash within the first 5 minutes (sometimes instantly, other times I can use it for at most 5 minutes before it crashes and reboots).
When trying to flash the correct firmware, I get revision check errors, with the device number being one above the binary number.
Is there any way to fix this, or should I give up? Can provide more information as necessary.
Edit: I believe the problem may be that I flashed an Android 9.0.0 firmware, and stock firmwares for the device are at latest 8.0.0. I am also unable to re-flash Pixel Experience, though, as TWRP crashes mid-flash every time.

Region / country are you?
Please quote the FD firmware you flashed I need to know the boot loader version.
Do you know what version firmware the device came with?
Please confirm you can enter Download mode?

Hi, thank you for the reply.
The region of the phone was BRI/TGY (for some reason it was able to be either?) After searching, I couldn't find any SM-G930F firmware for these regions, which leads me to believe that despite the model being shown as SM-G930F in download mode, it might've actually been an SM-G930FD?
The FD firmware I flashed was G930FXXS4ESC7 (TGY).
I believe the device came with FD firmware? My memory may be tricking me but I believe when I checked with Phone Info SAM, the model showed up as SM-G930FD, with the firmware G930FXXS4ESC7 (but may be misremembering).
I can definitely enter download mode with an 100% success rate, and crashes do not occur while in download mode.

Hi there, the firmware you have flashed is the latest version for Hong Kong and Taiwan so it is correct if your device is G930FD.
G930FD is dual SIM right? G930F is single SIM. However G930FD WILL work on a G930F device but G930F WILL NOT work on a G930FD
G930F = Europe and Canada
G930FD = Far East and Asia
On Sammobile website there is an earlier version of your firmware G930FXXS4ESB5, try this one instead and you can only use firmware which is "S4" G930FXXS4ESB5
Try flash it again

Thanks for the reply! I'll try it again using that firmware.
Also, I checked the SIM slot, and it says SIM1 and SD/SIM2, so I think it's a SM-G930FD. Weird that it says SM-G930F in download mode, is that based on firmware?

Okay, I tried flashing G930FXXS4ESB5, and ended up with the same error, being that the device version is higher than the binary version. (5 vs 4 for bootloader)
At this point I don't think the error has anything to do with the fact that I flashed different firmware, but rather that the version of the bootloader, kernel, etc. are patched higher than the firmware, but there is no Android 9.0.0 firmware that I can flash.

Ok try Singapore XSP that has a version 5 Binary, here
Also to get it faster Google "Samfirm tool" and how to use it.

The flash passed, but now (as before), the phone simply comes up with "Error!" once installing system update finishes, followed by another reboot and no command.

Ok when no command comes up reboot to system recovery and choose wipe/ factory reset and reboot.
No command means the firmware has worked just needs a final factory reset

That's where the unfortunate final problem comes in, in that the recovery menu will freeze within about 10 seconds of reaching recovery mode, sometimes even before getting past "#MANUAL MODE 1.0.0#" and rebooting automatically. The time seems to be almost random, but I've never been able to perform a factory reset. The furthest I get is formatting /data, even leaving that overnight, it was definitely frozen.
Edit: I managed to perform both a factory reset and cache partition wipe, but still get "No Command" when booting the phone.
Edit 2: Nevermind, apparently factory reset and cache partition wipe worked! I can now boot successfully and the phone works. Although I still have the problem with random freezing and reboots, it's better than a bricked phone. Thank you!
