Help with asus tf101. Noobie at work!

I previously had a post on how to flash a new rom onto the tablet because i had done it wrong originally and now i cant use the tablet because it keeps restarting itself. I tried updating the android revolution rom but i clicked on cm9 update instead and now its acting up! It wont let me access the sd card through recovery mode nor through the rom manager app! Someone told me about odin but didn't really explain much else. Any help on how to reset the system through another computer would be really great. Thanks...!

[Q] need help! i deleted my OS!

i deleted my ONE X OS by accident!
oh damn! i tryed to install some rom from my recovery (team win recovery project 2.3.1.0)
and i did wipe> wipe catch and then i want to do factory reset and i hit system.. and i didnt notice..
and the zip of the rom refuse to install! and i dont know what to do! please help me
i cant put another rom on my SD card.. im doomed!
and i got ONE X not XL

Use adb to push a rom or an RUU to the internal SD card..

I've deleted my OS and I can't even turn tablet on anymore!
Hello everyone! PLEASE, I need someone's help!
I have a Sanei N10 dual core. Its original OS version was 4.0.4 and I was trying to install Jelly bean into it. I had tried many ways, and the last one was using LiveSuit. I did all procedures taught in the forum. My device was connected to PC in ADB mode, and with Livesuit Open, I got a formating box from windows (the same you get when you select "format" on a storage device), so I chose format and after that, nothing else succeeded. So I disconnected the device from USB and I had to reset it. And the worse part, it didn't even turn on anymore.
I'm kinda noob in this issue, but I think when I chose format, I've formatted the partition which had the OS.
Now the Tablet doesn't give any life sign... No led, no message error, no anything "/
PLEASE, I need my Tablet back!
Thank you SO MUCH for any help

try version 3 first the universal one. then you can play with the others by updating through stock recovery. i bet you have a dual core one. press vol down , ok and power button at the same time on boot and go to version. if it says MAUI on the list then we have the same clone

i also have issue with my s3 clone mtk6577... its no longer turning on after trying to odex it.. tried to flash the firmware and thats when the phone no longer turning on.. please help me.. im trying to flash it again using the flash tool but stuck in 0% what do i need to do?

I have the same problem. S3 micro sim clone MTK6589, new firmware tried (chinaecarts.com/s3firmware20130320.rar ), then the phone not booting.
I just contacted with Chinaecarts.com, they tried to solve the problem but not working.
Also tried with the universal firmware, but it sad I've MTK6577 phone, not MTK6575.
If I will have fresh news, will post it.
(seller said, I should send the phone back, and they will fix it.)

I tried with this:
H.tps://docs.google.com/open?id=0B4AdByfaH4T0TjVjc2w0OXVqQUE
It is theoretically for the MTK6577 and MTK6589 as well. Got the previous result: "Platform error. The target platform is MT6577_S00."
I think there is a solution for the blank screen problem:
- need a Flash Tool. (on the link above you can find it, or on the link in my previous post)
- need a firmware for MTK6577 micro sim card.
I tried with many sdcard firmware versions, but no effective result.

Hi,
1, You need to know what is exact model of your s3 mtk6577. There are many s3 mtk6577 models in the market. Different s3 mtk6577 is made by different manufacturer, so the ROM is definitely different.
2. After you get the right ROM, then flash your phone by using flash tool SPMultiPortFlashDownloadProject

Bricked MTK6577
The image of the S3-micro-sim-version-20121210 this with corronpidos files, and the method that you should have done to retrieve your appliance was using the recover instead of SP tools because the files are not in rar. SP standard my phone so can enter META mode and nothing more.

It looks I have the exact model of yours. I am trying to update the firmware by entering the recovery (I suppose it is {vol up + power}). But my external sdcard is not mounted to pick the rom from.

I hope this may help you? I had the same problems as you with the same phone after rooting it I deleted the original rom as it went into a loop and would not start so I started installing every firmware I can find and install, I got one which works BUT! no English , it boots English then goes into several languages but not English it is HDCI9300 rom. I googled it as no one seems able or do not want to help although I have asked several times in many different ways. I hope this will get your phone at least to boot up, I used sp flash as this rom will not let you do anything with the sd card (if it does you need to translate one of the languages)? I hope this helps, if not you have lost nothing:fingers-crossed:

Hello. I have a similar problem with yours. A friend of mine has a 100% visual clone (MTK6577) with the same sticker under the battery like in the first post, he tried to flash it, but he messed up something, and then he brought it to me completely DEAD . No charging, no PC connection - nothing... I tried many button combos, and accidentally i found out that if i connect the phone without battery, press and hold VOL+, VOL- & POWER for a few seconds, the PC detected the mediatek com port , installed the drivers without problem, and now the real problems begins - the ROM. I tried all of the roms from chinaecarts but without success, first i couldn't flash the thing, and after downloading several roms from chinaecarts, and finally flashed it and guess what - no LCD :silly: . So i tried combining different files from different roms, and now i'm at a point where i can turn on the phone, screen goes white, but the phone boots, it makes the vibration after the boot process completes, and after that the phone is responding to touches (it vibrates), lock/unlock works, PC detects USB Mass Storage Device, USB Composite Device and MTK65xx Android Phone. I also noticed that in the FW packages i downloaded there are some files that aren't flashed (i think) like for example the kernel.img so i was wondering if i can flash it manually? Please someone help, share some FW links, i can't find anymore...

can anyone help with this?? or even identify which s3 clone the phone is from the first post... i have tried many "solutions" for clone 6577 and NONE works.. I have scoured the internet for possible solutions and nothing..

help please!

[Q] Help, with boot loop

Hi everyone!
I need, please help with a Chinese phone I just bought.
Some information about the phone:
MC603CH, board cellonsz73_gb, MT6573 ARMv6 797.90mhz, MC7305.zheng.V1.en display, brand Yusu, total 214 Mb RAM, 130 Mb internal space, external 3.7 Gb, Imagination Technologies GPU, OpenGL ES 2.0, currently running Android 2.3. 5 Kernel 2.6.35.7.
In Windows 8 on Mac and was recognized as HTC (Windows as My HTC). Turns out I can not stand just looking for that kind of device without having the urge to start moving in everything and in every way (especially since it's my first Android). I did root, installed a bunch of app to change the system and found a script that makes the Apps recognize a partition EXT4 like to have more internal space to install applications. The last two things I did while he was connected were able to install BusyBox to make the system recognize the init.de folder so I can run scripts in the beginning of the section and, silly me, make a run in the script.
He was pretty one, running everything is fast with the ROM that was running, which it came (modified to look like iOS), but after running the script, it restarted and went into boot loop. Then I try to recover the poor, and went hunting for information ... flash rom did (I was afraid to try installing and kill him at once), then I found a video that said I could try clearing the cache, I tried, I removed the USB cable from the computer to wait for the battery dies (it does not restart the button is in loop) and nothing.
I found another video that told me to go back to factory settings purchases that could go right.
The problem is I can not get into recovery mode by buttons (already tried all possible combinations and does not enter the recovery). I managed, after Google searches, and find the adb installed, managed to make it into the recovery by adb! Then I thought I could do everything that was needed to revive the pet. I fell to the tale of the factory settings, and I gave myself badly. Now the adb condegue not recognize the phone, I believe it is because he is no longer on usb debuging (factory settings), so now I'm here at all in the stirring cell, trying to find a way to disconnect the battery and do not think (believe only a technician can or someone with technical knowledge) so I can try some procedures using software I found (SP flash tools, tools mtkdroid, Android AIO flasher, etc.). To get drivers that worked in Portcom has been very difficult, I tried several until you find what the Windows install left. Well, it's more or less what is happening to me. I hope you can find someone to help me on this, because, as I said, it's my first android and I can not buy another one for a long time (I have a wife and four children, i can not spend too much ) and it cost me R$ 590.00 (Brazil) and not just pay. If anyone can help me, I am very grateful.
God bless you. Sorry for english from Google Translator.

Hej,
If you just can get into the recovery you could flash any rom made for your phone, just get the zip on your SD card and install through recovery.
Try to get into recovery through fastboot if your phone is supported and next time you root your android just do a nandroid backup.

Hi Dr.Banane! Thanks for responding!
The point is that I can not go into recovery mode at all the buttons on this phone.
The only ways in which I saw the screen of recovery mode this cell were: 1 by 2 by adb root manager when
I was with usb debugging enabled. I need to figure out exactly how to enter the recovery mode, because I think it
I will be able to access adb again and be able to delete the folder init.d script or do some flash ROM.
By the way, does the ROM Sophone MT6575 will work on it or kill it once?
Thank you. God bless you.

learned alot from your question

I can not seem to get the tablet to boot into the OS in any way. Please help. Thanks.

This is a known issue of this thing so best stay away from it from now on .
Now can you factory reset your phone ?
BTW this device has mediatek ,right?

I believe that I do. I wasn't able boot to the recovery that i normally had in the past. Instead it went to a boot recovery I had not seen on this tablet before. The only only choice to a possible recovery was to clear the eMMC. I did that. and still am hung up on the boot logo of android.

Dang it ,factory reset usually works
Well as a last resort I would flash my stock firmware but this pretty much means you'll lose your data Unless you haven't backed it up.
BTW can you flash your previous recovery and try to access it again .
Also after emmc wipe you gave it enough time at the bootlogo (10-15 min so it can set things up again),right?

I gave it over 2 hours to set itself up.
I admit I am quite challenged when it comes to Android. I hanen't a clue as to flashing the device. I did have enough common sense to do a back-up to external sd-card prior to attempting the theme update. I downloaded and installed the latest XDA tools onto my PC, but I can't make sense of how to use it.
Any help would be most welcomed. Thank you so far though.

Your phone is mediatek .
Things you'll need are sp flash tool PC ,stock firmware of phone (extracted)
1)download the flash tool and open it
2)select scatter loading ,browse through the extracted stock file and select scatter.txt.
3)now click the download
4)power off your phone and plug it PC through USB
5)wait for success notification
Wait a minute have you tried restoring the backup you made .
---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------
So i looked up some links for your stock firmware and there isn't many .is your phone under warrenty then best try to take it to store.

Please forgive my ignorance. Will please define "stock"?
As in a standard 4.2.2 OS, or an original build for this tablet Verizon built? I bought the tablet on, Amazon and have no carrier.
Also, with tablet stuck In boot.... when I plug it in via usb, my PC reognises that it is my tablet, yet shows no evidence other than the device manager. Does the application you mention have ability to access my device in it's current state?

How would I go about restoring the back up?

Yes the tool works if your PC can recognise your device. But the stock (pretty much the standard os you had when it was bought) is pretty much difficult to get
---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------
Can you tell me the extension type (eg .zip .jpeg) of the backup you made .its in your SD card right .so try to tell me the extension type by getting SD card in PC via memory card reader or putting it in another phone
---------- Post added at 06:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------
I hope its an .md5 file ,its late night here I'll get back to you in the morning .due to non availability of stock firmware(good if you can find it) your backup(if its .md5) is functional way of getting your phone back . you also need mtkdroid tools for this .

The file extension is .backup. I am looking for a decompiler. Then I convert to .md5. We shall see.

Okay . if you get the .md5 file ,there's an option to to prepare blocks for sp flash tool in mtkdroid tools. Then choose the .md5 file and wait for mtkdroid tools to finish.
Now in sp flash tool chooses scatter loading and choose the scatter text prepared by droid tools
Uncheck cache,userdata and most importantly preloader.
Click download in sp tool and now plug your completely powered of phone to PC via USB .wait for success notification.

Ok. I broke down and bought another QMV7A off of Amazon. Screen is in "MEH" condition, big deal. Bottom line.... I have a Samsung Galaxy Light that I am willing to brick. I need help with getting whatever is needed from the incoming QMV7A, so that I may breathe life into boot-trapped other Ellipsis.
I would like to use Samsung as guineapig in my hopefully learning something. I was successful in in getting the tablet back to the recovery menu I am use to using RomTool (must thank that developer....must thank that developer), and was also able to restore 'USER' settings. My backup was NOT OF OS. Huh....
With my settings I did get my dancing Android boot back instead of Verizon's. Now it is stuck there. NIIIIIICE !!
After reading and reading, I still can't figure out how to get a scatter text, or for that matter, what the help is it? I digress....
I need to learn on the Samsung what to do to my QMV7A.
Please assist in the attempted surgery on my Galaxy so that I may bring back my missing toy...errrr...tool...yeah...
In advance, thanks for all the assistance so far by Qwerty. And a hopeful blessing to any other that may teach me what NOT to do.
