4822 should be a 5158N. If you are rooted, download a terminal app and flash the firmware. the 7038 firmware should be for the 5158n as well.

It only takes 5 seconds to remove the back cover and read the model off the dig ribbons. I'm not sure what the hang-up is. Wouldn't that be simpler? Flashing stock firmware doesn't necessarily restore TS firmware.

Dont stress yourself. Its easily fixed. Ill look around for 4822 and report back shortly.
Edit:
Ok im downloading a few roms. Hopefully its in one of those. In the mean time, check in /system/etc/firmware/touch and see if you have a 4822 in there. Also, flashing back to stock will not flash the system firmware for the digitizer daughter board. Go ahead and re-root while im downloading things as well.

Ok, looks like there are several other firmware in that folder. Your best bet is to flash them all one by one from your firmware folder until one works after rebooting.
Since there are 3 versions of digitizer, and there are 3 firmwares in the folder, logically one has to work lol
If you cant find them, ill upload them for you. Let me know.

I´d love to have them since I need to reflash my fw for the TS.
Changed my broken digitizer (5158N ) out for a new one (5158N ) but i need to flash the TSfirmware since my left side of the tablet only work sometimes.
Is it possible to flash this fw without root?

Ive only flashed from terminal, which required root. You also should be able to run it through adb. All of your stock firmware SHOULD be in /system/etc/firmware/touch and have the extention of .ekt
Change the location to directory of the firmware folder and run the firmware update command directly from there.
For all commands, dont include the quotes. Just type whats between the quotes.
Open terminal and type " su" and hit enter. Superuser should pop up asking to allow permissions if you have never run this command before. If you have, you wont see anything, but you will see " root " on the next line.
Next " cd /system/etc/firmware/touch " and hit enter
Then type " ls " and hit enter. You will see all the firmware available to flash
Finally update your firmware with the update command " touch_fw_update -u /system/etc/firmware/touch/whateverfirmware.ekt " and hit enter. Obviously you change out the whateverfirmware.ekt for the actual name of the file you want to flash.

But hey, I´ll give it a shot :cyclops:

it ain't working :'( i can flash the first one but it is still the 7053 one and when i try to flash the other 2 it says this IAP tools is design for elan 1 chip sloution: error can't open source file
EDIT: after some tweaking at root is was able to flash the other two let's see what happens!
EDIT2: nvm when i try to flash it says ERROR: GetAckData fail! and at the bottom ERROR:execnum:0 th OLD IAP mode!!!!!! and the firmware doesn't update :'(

BTW i hate that there is no recovery that doesn't need to use the touch screen because i can't flash the firmware via recovery now because of that :\ i currently reinstalled the stock recovery is there a way i can use the "update.zip" method on this tab?

Thank you for this file, but is it possible for me to get it onto my TF300 without rooting it or anything else?
Remember I can´t get into settings to turn on "developer mode", "USB-debugging" or any of the other stuff that´s needed to get my tablet rooted.
Can I just place the fw-file on a memorycard and insert it and see if it wants to upgrade? Or is that a no go?
Waiting on a USB-OTG cable so I´m able to connect a mouse to get into settings but I won´t get it for a couple of weeks probably.

You are a bit too late mate I send my tablet back to Asus for repair!

[Q] New to HTC family, Help me please..

Hello,
i just bought up this -
HTC One S this week.. its nice phone..
well, have some issues like: battery and admin access..
so can anyone first clear me if i root or change ROM of this phone will i be able to restore them all so i can avail its warranty in need ?
2nd) How to root this phone , perfectly without any issue.? what will be access + profit i will have if i root this device ?
3rd) How to increase its battery life ?
4) how are ROMs helpful to this phone ? and how to use custom ROM on this phone ???
Waiting for some help..
this is the guide i recommend for rooting your one s http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
a custom rom (i recommend either trickdroid or AOKP Jelly Bean) will increase your battery life (most of the time, depends on the rom and the ones i recommended will do just that) and give you more customization options and give you more control of your device.
and if a warranty use is required, you can always flash back to the stock rom and re lock your bootloader
it's as simple as that

hmmm thanks
i will go through it
also, can you just tell me what all other roms are for ? like the one you gave me is for battery life what else options are there ?
and how i can take backup of original rom and bootloader in case i face issue ?
well, i was installing SuperSU but it says-
"There is no SU binary installed, and superSU cannot install it. This is a problem !"
what next ? i am jammed at step 1.
which supersu file are you trying to install? cause you need to grab the proper one. and as for what each rom does. you'll just have to browse the development section of the forums and see what's out there. or you could just flash carelessly and see which one fits you best. that's kind of what i did

hey man !
u said that it can be fixed as original.. ?
but here on HTC page it says after unlocking bootlocker-
"
Step 14
To re-lock your bootloader, in the command prompt, type: fastboot oem lock.
Note: This will not restore the factory default lock, but will simply re-lock the bootloader so no further changes can be made. Furthermore, if you want to unlock your bootloader again, simply repeat step 12 with your original unlock key file to unlock your phone again.
"
That means it will not be available for warranty ???
as i broked its seal ? am i right ?
please explain.. that how i can make my phone back to available for warranty ?
help me please ! stucked at bad point !!!
i am stuck badly now !!!
i tried recovery of various roms available on all threads but nothing worked for me !!!
Then i tried to restore back to stock ROM so i don't see HTC warning while using recovery mode but no help ! no ROM is now fitting in it..
Please help me anyone !!
i am badly stuck !!!
either let me know how to get my original ROM and Bootlocker back so i stay in warranty or just let me know were should i process now..

Are you completely stock (never flash anything and never root) or you root the phone and later unroot it? If you have a stock rom without any modification you have just to wait the official OTA if not the link have all information that you need to obtain a complete stock 4.1.2, in it you can find official google rom.
Yes i am completely stock.So currently which are the countries recieving the update?Any clue on how much ae we gonna wait?

There is a way to manually update without root and unlock, you have to download your version of OTA from the thread that I suggested you and you have to learn to use adb commands. I personally tested this method on my device and it work.
You have to find a guide to install Android SDK on your PC and to learn how send adb command with android sdk (you have to open DOS command prompt and go to directory where you have installed android sdk to the folder adb...).
With this correctly installed, without any root and unlock, with some terminal commands you can manually update your device, at the end it will be completely stock without ony modifications.
After you have installed android sdk, procedure to update is this:
Connect your phone to your PC.
Reboot your device in recovery mode so power off nexus, power on by pressing both power+volume up, select recovery with volume keys and push power to confirm. And android with red triangle appear, push power and volume up to enter in recovery mode.
Select "Apply update from ADB".
On your PC copy the OTA from downloaded from the other thread in the folder with the ADB binary (adb.exe) in your SDK installation and rename the OTA as update.zip (not necessary but in this way is more easy).
On your PC open command prompt and go to folder with the ADB binary.
On your PC command prompt write "adb devices" to see if your nexus is correctly connected (have to appear a long serial number)
If yes, write this command: "adb sideload update.zip"
At the end reboot and you have a completely stock updatewithout modifications.

A second method that I read is to try to delete your google account and later insert it again and wait sync. I didn't try this, I prefer to learn how to use adb...
Thanks for helpin me out.i cleared data 2 - 3 times before i got the update again.It took me all day to download 15 mb though even after having a hi speed connection.

Odd issue with cwm for JB.

Ok I hope you all can help sort something out for me. I just got a refurbished TF300T a couple days ago. I unlocked it in ICS and then it forced the OTA of 4.1.1 on me. I had no problem getting ADB drivers in and flashed the jelly bean recovery. I rebooted into recovery and there was cwm. I tried flashing the rootzip that is out there but it did not work. I then tried to do a bakup and it failed. I then realized i could not see emmc only sd.
Any ideas.
I have a rooted modded nooktab so i am somewhat familar with these devices but i am stumped.

I'd try manually flashing the firmware and then flashing CWM again, or TWRP which some users will argue is much better than CWM.

Just read the post again if you are still on 4.1.1 the disreguard what i had mention theres probably away to fix which im sure some one can help but what i had talked about was the 4.2.1 jb update attempting to root on that is a no go. So just ignore that post. I'm on stock 4.2.1 but unlocked bootloader so can't help there cant go any further myself at the moment.
In my setup menu theres an option to add seperate users some seem to think that it encrypts the information so another person who has access under another user name cant see another person info. Sound logical to me but really messed things up for us.
Now still thats all just speculation no one knows for sure what the exact issue is with the 4.2.1 update is yet but best advice is to wait till it's figured out.

Hmmm, sorry but I'm confused. If you're on cm and you can open recovery I can only think you are still rooted (check this with root checker app) so not sure why you think you need to root. I see you tried to restore, what to? I can only suggest flashing back to a stock rom and then do the rooting process again.

[Q] revert back to stock- USB port damaged?

Hi guys,
my rooted 4.2.2 rom'd gs3 has a finicky usb port and will not charge. I need to return the phone for a warranty exchange, but is there a way I can do that when the usb port is damaged and is not recognized by the pc? thanks for the help, it is greatly appreciated!
Have you tried mobile odin app.

1. Mobile odin, however I've personally never used it. There are probably guides out there somewhere how to return the phone to stock.
2. You may still be under samsung's warranty period, they don't care if your phone is rooted and will fix hardware problems. They will flash the most recent stock rom and firmware they have to your phone so you'd have to re root it.

I have not tried the mobile odin app (did not know it existed). I will try that and post back results in a little while. Thanks everyone
Its pretty straight forward. It does cost you a few bucks but its always nice to have and support a great developer.

I downloaded the 1.2gb file which was supposed to flash the stock ROM and lock the boot loader, but all it did was wipe my current ROM? Can anyone help me understand what I did wrong? Thanks again! I used the mobile Odin app and it all seemed OK ...md5 sum was good too

Posted above this the issues I'm having. Thanks for your help
What exactly do you mean wiped your current rom. Does it boot, you get anything to happen or just blank.

What guide did you follow? You could've done a number of things wrong, try to boot into recovery or download mode to see if you're hardbricked.

Ok I read your post from earlier. What file did you try to flash. Was the old 4.1.1 or one of the newer 4.1.2 img files

Correct it is the 4.1.1 img. I am away from my home computer but I think that might have been the wrong file since you want to go back to stock. I will try to search the thread for the file I used during my training

The link below should take you to the mb1 file. This will wipe everything and should take you back to stock 4.1.2. I have not done this method in a while so if something borks im sorry for mentioning it.

Thanks for your help I was able to get a usb connection enough and I used Odin on my laptop. The only problem I have now is that the custom unblock symbol appears when I boot up the phone. Any idea how to remove that now that root is gone? Ignore the following words...my phone won't let me edit them out. Thanks again.
Edit: it looks like the file I used was a 4.0.4 image. For return purposes is it fine if it's the older version? There should be no signs of root now. I'll keep checking for updates though

You should be able to go into settings and factory reset your phone and then try taking the ota.

I would, if you have an ics rom they will be able to tell something is off. It should accept an OTA update. If you can odin again, use the vrblk3 image and accept the ota to vrbmb1. It may not be updating due to to the jump from ics to the most recent base. That will make sure you're completely back to stock, with a locked bootloader, and a stock recovery.
