ok - itried to swich off and powered on - still atuck.
how can i install arom again? please help im new foe this tablet.
can i install asock rom from my pc to the tablet>?
i tried this:
If you are stock, I would try flashing the latest (.27) firmware for your version (SKU). Download from the Asus support site, unzip it ONCE (it will still be a zip) and put that on a microSD formatted for FAT32. Then hold VOL DOWN and POWER until you see the small white text. Release both buttons and hit VOL UP to enter RCK (recovery) to trigger the flash of the stock firmware.
and there is android logo with red triangle and with this!
what can i do? the tablet is on stock please please help me

Start over with easyflasher. Follow the unbrick instructions and you'll be as good as new.

Turn off the Tablet, Hold Power and Volume Down until white text appears, now release buttons and press Volume Down once for Cold Boot
See if that gets you running again, if not, try the Easyflasher above ^^

i tried
i tried this:
1) Download universal naked driver and unzip into a folder
2) Download latest Asus transformer firmware and put it in firmware folder.
3) Uninstall all Asus drivers from your laptop.
4) Disconnect your laptop from WiFi/internet and make it offline
4) Now plug your tablet and let windows install required driver.
5) If windows cannot install driver( mostly it won't as laptop is not connected to the net) then use "manually install driver" option and select the folder where you downloaded and unzipped "universal naked driver" and that should install the naked driver.
6) If that doesn't then goto device manager, there you should see unknown device, select it and update the driver manually.
7) Once the driver is installed, then unplug the tablet
8) now connect the tablet back and press volume up and power button together till laptop starts installing APX driver.
9) If it doesn't then try repeating step 5 or step 6 and that will install APX driver.
10) Launch EASY FLASHER and unroot and install stock ROM...
but icant install the naked drivers - i follow the guide still...cant/ whwn u plugged the tublet to pc he cant inatall any driver.please please im new to this tablet can u explain me step by step how to fix it? im tring for 7 houres..please!!!
itry the cold boot - not working' because the tablet stuck at the middle of update.
ijust want it to get work - please can u guide me???

Plug Tablet into PC > USB
Power Off Tablet
Put tablet into APX Mode (Power & Volume Up)
You will not see anything on tablet screen but PC will recognise USB
If it asks for drivers, point to Universal Drivers, if not, goto Device Manager and install drivers from there
Run Easyflasher as Administrator (Right click > Run as Administrator)
Choose TWRP Recovery
When you are finished, boot into Recovery with Volume Down & Power until white text appears on screen, then press Volume up to enter RCK
You can now flash custom or stock ROM from TWRP recovery
EDIT -
Which Serial number is your tablet? B4O, B5O, B6O, B7O etc etc ?

If your tablet serial number is B6O or lower, then it is SBK1
B7O+ is SBK2
Did you put the tablet into APX mode first ?

Maybe you are not holding Power & Volume Up for long enough
You need to hold it for about 5 seconds, until PC makes USB connect sound

It's not going to work until you learn how to put the TF into APX mode and use Easyflasher correctly
Flashing stock ROM and flashing TWRP is the same process, you still need APX mode on the tablet before anything will work
If you see the Android and Wipe on the display, you pressed the wrong buttons
APX = Power & Vol Up

[Q] Dopo D7020

Hello,
I'm new to tablets and their operating systems. I was wondering if anyone knew how to root the dopo D7020 tablet. It was gift for my children and I would like speed it up so my kids don't come up to me 5 minutes telling me that it's froze.
Thanks and any help is appreciated,
Jon

Rooting won't fix your problem. A custom rom is needed and it's hard to find these for such tablets.
I'd recommend using a lightweight launcher so you have more free RAM.

Stuck in CWM 5.5.0.4 No ADB DOPO D7020
So I rooted the device no problems , and I used a generic CWM recovery for RK2918 devices, since I thought thats what it's running
Livesuit Shows no Rockchip device , it is now detecting a A10 device and I cannot load a Rockchip driver for the life of me , in the CWM recovery mode.
1. Is this device rockchip or not?
2. I have no control with volume controls can only press power which reboots right back to CWM
3. Is there a proven recovery technique for this issue?
4. Does anyone have a backup <--- I was installing CWM to do this I belive I may have put the wrong on or
5. The factory firmware image <----- Double powertech site does not even list this tablet.
6. Is there a way to get the device out of CWM recovry mode? Yes I have done a hard reset via the reset button still CWM recovery.
Device is a DOPO 7020 it detect under windows as a D7016 though
Im not sure how to get out of this if I could even gain control of the menu up down to apply an update from zip this would be fine. I can work in WIN. MAC, Linux dont matter just need to get it working agin for my kid. Any help wold be appreciated.

Using windows or linux, please try to boot into CWM (since it only does that I'm sure that's automatically) and then use ADB to push, pull or even restart in bootloader or recover mode if I"m not mistaken. The commands are "adb reboot-bootloader" and "adb reboot recovery" without quotes. This should allow you to work with your phone. Use ADB to reboot into the bootloader (fastboot mode) and then use fastboot to flash whatever you may need. Hope this helps. I spent a lot of time working on my kids Tablet too and ended up in a similiar situation.

[Q] Tablet only boots in recovery mode P3110

I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7'' Wifi (P3110) with CM 10.1.3.
Thing is, I wanted to install the latest nightly, so I booted in Recovery mode, tried to install the zip file and I had a Status 7 error. So after that I decided to stay with my CM version, but when I try to boot the tablet it goes to recovery mode and doesn't boot! I tried to wipe everything and still. I can't flash anything else (not even the CM version I already have) because I keep getting the Status 7 error.
I am desperate, I don't know what to do!

Well, you attempted to flash CM11/Omni with the wrong recovery, that's why you got the "Error 7"
Anyway, the problem should be easy to rectify.
1. Install ODIN3 on your computer (don't forget to also install the Samsung USB drivers as well).
EDIT In case you are about to install the drivers by installing "Kies" ... make SURE that NONE of the Kies components are running in the background (on Windows) once you try to flash with ODIN3 - or it won't work. If you Google around for a bit, there are several Downloads for JUST the USB drivers - I can upload you the USB drivers installer I used for my P3110 (flashed back to Stock to sell it off)) /EDIT
2. Download the correct .tar.md5 recovery file for the ROM you're going to use from Android Andi's file repository.
For CyanogenMod 11 you want to grab either PhilZ Touch or CWM Swipe Edition, for OMNI you want to grab TWRP.
3. Start ODIN3 and select the <recovery>.tar.md5 as a PDA file (make sure that nasty checkmark at "Repartition" is NOT checked"!)
4. Power on the tablet and make sure you get it into Download Mode
If it boots into Download Mode itself, that fine. If not just press... was it Power + VOL Down?... until you see the screen telling you to pres VOL up to proceed into Download Mode.
5. Connect the tablet to the computer (wait a second in case Windows decides to install the driver)
6. Flash the recovery
7. Disconnect after flash, jump into the recovery, flash CM11 or OMNI
Of course you can also flash back to Stock ROM (given you have the ODIN flashable tar.md5 at hand), verify that it boots after flashing, get into download mode, flash the custom recovery, flash the custom ROM.

Thanks! I didn't know that was a recovery problem!
Somehow I couldn't reboot into Download mode with the key combo so I used ADB for that, and flashed the new recovery with Heimdall (in the CMW official website the versions are old, maybe that was the problem...).
Then I installed CM.
Thanks again!

I am aware you managed to flash the ROM, but just as a hint about "this is a trap for young players":
IF your tablet is connected to the wall wart (power supply) or to the USB port of computer while trying to trigger the key-combo to hop into download mode or recovery it won't work! Your tablet needs to be _disconnected_!

Update Recovery!
hey you can try update your custom recovery to latest version by downlading the zip file here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548257
and than try re-flash your current rom or any kitkat room for your device

Not able to install - always standard recovery menu

Hello guys.
Im struggeling to install a custom ROM at the stage of installing a CWM recovery. My S2 plus 9105p runs Android 4.2.2 and everytime I try to upload a recovery img via Odin everything works fine as expected but when I try to start (volume up, home, power) the recovery mode - it gets always into the standard Android one - not CWM recovery!!! It looks like Samsung has integrated some kind of security mechanism which keeps us from running custom ROMs...
I have realy tried maybe 5 different recovery images, but non of those worked for me.
Can you please help?

I tried exactly also this particular site and steps described on it, but didn't help... The same problem. Everything was OK, but recovery was not CWM but standard Android one.

When u have flashed ur recorvery, take ur battery out and then plug battery again. And now go to recorvery.

Now it is WORKING !
Hi guys.
I followed the step-by-step guide on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560928
- used the CWM 6.0.4.5 and Odin3 0.7
- after successfull flash of the PDA with this recovery (manualy unset the auto-reboot option) I have pulled the battery out for a couple of seconds
- the battery came back in again and with home-volUP-Power I got directly to the new CWM recovery.
So thanx all for your support and you can lock this thread as everything is working now.
DETAILED STEPS FOR INSTALLING CWM RECOVERY IF THE PHONE AUTOMATICALLY RE_FLASHES IT:
Installation
WITH ODIN
1. Be sure, that your device is on 4.2.2 stock firmware and shut down the phone
2. Be sure that Samsung drivers are installed on your pc. Just install Kies or google for them

8. Click start and wait until the blue progress bar in your device is graphicaly 100% (I also suggest to wait another minute to make things sure..)
9. Pull out the battery
10. Pull out the uSB cable from PC and phone
11. Wait abou 10-15 seconds and power up your phone to get into the recovery menu by pressing: Vol_UP + Home + Power

You are not reading what you are typing.
Obvious answer: If you end up in the STOCK RECOVERY you simply do not have a custom recovery installed (Clockworkmod as you wrote). Get yourself a copy of a recent recovery from AndroidAndi's download repository (TWRP, Clockworkmod Swipe, PhilZ Touch), and flash the .tar.md5 of the recovery with ODIN in download mode.
Obvious question: How did you flash a ROM, other than some OTA Stock Samsung update on the device itself, in the first place when you don't have a custom recovery installed in order to do so?
EDIT: What exactly do you mean by "factory reset"? Did you re-flash your tablet with a Stock ROM? If that's the case, then any custom recovery you had installed was wiped and replaced with the stock recovery. Hence why you now don't have a custom recovery anymore.

Just to recap on the steps you should have done...
1. You downloaded the .tar.md5 of the recovery you want to install, from Android Andi's filehost, on your PC
2. You installed the Samsung USB drivers on your computer
3. You installed ODIN on your computer
4. You unplugged the tablet from the charger and powered it off
5. You took your tablet and HELD VOL-UP while you powered it back on (to get into bootloader mode)
6. You plugged the tablet in to the computer and waited for a moment while Windows was installing the driver
--- Here the story ends, according to what you wrote as you say ODIN does not find the tablet.
Well, are you sure you did the steps so far in that order? Can't be that ODIN doesn't detect the tablet when it's operational (read: no a total dead brick) and it's in download mode.
The ONLY problem possible: You installed Samsung KIES, and not just the USB drivers, on your computer. KIES interferes with ODIN. You need to exit ODIN, bring up the Task Manager (press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and select "Task Manager"), find "kies" and end the running process(es) - ignore any warning message.
If that's too complicated: Uninstall KIES and then find the "Samsung Mobile USB drivers" installation package ... with a bit of searching (just to assign some homework to you) you will the links right here in this forum section more than just once.
Once KIES is terminated, or uninstalled and just the USB drivers installed, start ODIN again ... now it should detect the tablet.
Once ODIN confirms that the tablet is detected...
7. Select the .tar.md5 of the recovery as the "PDA"
8. Flash the recovery. Once complete the tablet rebooted into the newly installed recovery.
As for on-device flashing. That's possible...
- Your installed ROM must be ROOTED (no root, no fun)
- You need Chainfire's "MobileODIN" (the free version from the Play Store would suffice), and you need to let MobileODIN install the "p311x flashkernel package" (I think with the free version you need to download it manually from Chainfire's thread and install it manually) - jump into Chainfire's thread and read on
Once you have Mobile ODIN installed it is just a matter of:
- Download the .tar.md5 of the recovery on your tablet once more (or transfer it over from your PC)
- Start Mobile ODIN
- Select the .tar.md5 of the recovery (should automatically be set as a "PDA")
- Flash and reboot into the recovery
However, as a fair warning ... as with every flashing of your device ... keep in mind something could go wrong (just to straighten it out that there's always room for user mistakes or murphy's law getting into the way ("Everything that can go wrong will go wrong"))

- Your installed ROM must be ROOTED (no root, no fun)
- You need Chainfire's "MobileODIN" (the free version from the Play Store would suffice), and you need to let MobileODIN install the "p311x flashkernel package" (I think with the free version you need to download it manually from Chainfire's thread and install it manually) - jump into Chainfire's thread and read on
Once you have Mobile ODIN installed it is just a matter of:
- Download the .tar.md5 of the recovery on your tablet once more (or transfer it over from your PC)
- Start Mobile ODIN
- Select the .tar.md5 of the recovery (should automatically be set as a "PDA")
- Flash and reboot into the recovery
However, as a fair warning ... as with every flashing of your device ... keep in mind something could go wrong (just to straighten it out that there's always room for user mistakes or murphy's law getting into the way ("Everything that can go wrong will go wrong"))

For future reference: keeping VOL DOWN UP held while powering on/rebooting the tablet takes you into the recovery in case you borked the system and selecting "Reboot" -> "Recovery" from within the _custom_ ROM's power menu is not an option (the Stock Samsung ROM does not have that option by default). Though keep in mind that this only works when the tablet is _NOT_ connected to the charger/computer ... when the USB cable is plugged in it seems to ignore the hardware keys.

Umm isn't recovery power and volume UP? At least that's how it is on my 7'' tablet and the 10'' I rooted and installed a ROM on.

Now that you mention it... yes, you're right jrc... "VOL DOWN" == Download Mode / "VOL UP" == Recovery (I failed to recall the "UP as in update.zip" association).
