Hi,
I tried to root my TF. It is a B70 model, so I first checked if it could be rooted with this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16356361&postcount=50
Everything went fine and so I started.
The roo process worked, it said phone updatet successful, but after rebooting my device the display only shows weird dots or whatever.
Heres a picture of what it looks like:
I tried to factory reset, but it still shows up.
I still can get into APX mode, buts thats all.
Is it bricked? Or what can I do now? Hope somebody can help me!
EDIT: SOLVED! It seems like the problem is solved. I rebootet in APX Mode and changed the boot.img to this one boot_us_8659.zip and after a reboot I got root and SuperUser.
AFAIK some B70 models are locked and cannot be rooted. Can you get into recovery?

Like so often, I should have read BEFORE playing with the device.
However, thanks for your help!
I`ve had that same problem with my TF. At start a bit scarry. Unrooting `n rooting dun help.
You can flash the OS => reinstall the Android. It will help with sure.
My suggestion - install revolver 2.5. Much faster than the normal A3.2
I recently purchased a used and unlocked wifi xoom. I noticed off the bat that the device would delete any and all apps/files saved onto whenever it was reset or crashed (happened frequently) I figured I should do a factory resent and wipe everything I had on it. the reset didnt do anything. all my contacts are still there, my emails, my wifi passwords etc etc.
that bugged me so I decided to download fastboot and the vanilla OS directly from motorola and erase it all and reflash/relock from there. I went through all the steps and both my xoom and the cmd window said everything erased and reinstalled correctly. no errors or fails there. But again when I "fastboot reboot" it went back to the same faulty system that was installed before I wiped everything.
needless to say im frustrated and was hoping to get some sage advice from this community as to what i am missing or why nothing is working properly. Thanks in advance.
Hi, I have just unlocked my bootloader and rooted my Nexus 7 on 4.2.1 JellyBean. Everything was successful, until now. I backed up with the root toolkit before unlocking the bootloader. After rooting was completed, I tried to use the "Restore" option on the toolkit. Everything works, until it just freezes. What I mean by that is the restore is running, and then, when the restore gets to some app (it shows what app it's restoring on the Nexus 7) it just stays on that app forever. It's been running on the com.hotmail.Z7 app (This seems to be the only one it stops on) It's done this 3 times now. In between the different restore attempts, I've either wiped the device clean and rebooted, or done nothing. And yes, I've enabled Developer Options, and turned on USB Debugging. Please help. Thanks so much.
Same Issue here
Having exactly the same problem. For me it's stuck on org.videolan.vlc.betav7neon. Nexus 7 3G 4.2.1. Started with factory settings. Backed up with toolkit (2GB backup file confirmed). Unlocked, rooted and then tried to restore. All went well until the restore. Anyone have any suggestions? Is there a way to unpack the .ab file and replace files manually?

Hi all. I have been trying to update my VS980 to Lollipop for a week now; I've tried absolutely everything I can think of / find in the forums, and nothing works.
The basic problem is this: I have a rooted (via Stump Root) Verizon G2 running stock 4.4.2. I wanted to upgrade it to Lollipop, so I unrooted with SuperSU and tried to OTA update it, but somehow it still knows it was once rooted, so the OTA fails. I have tried MANY things to fix/work around this, but here are the highlights:
Hard reset. The hard reset procedure completed ok, but when I try to then install the OTA update, it fails with "Err: 1117008." Settings -> About Phone still shows "Status: Rooted," even though I don't actually have root control anymore.
Use LG FLash Tool to flash back to factory stock: VS980011A_01.tot. Tried two different computers, using both Vista and Windows 10. Failed because the proper LGE Mobile USB Serial Port driver was never found/installed by Windows (despite it clearly working in the video).
Copied a text file called RCT_security containing "forel.lee" onto the SD card, b/c somehow that's supposed to reset the status to "unrooted." It didn't.
Re-rooted with Stump Root, manually installed TWRP to try to flash a ROM that way. Phone is now rooted again, but attempts to boot into recovery result in "secure boot error," and no TWRP.
Installed Quick Boot to boot directly into recovery. Fails with same "secure boot error."
Installed FreeGee and TWRP Manager, b/c now I'm just grasping at straws. FreeGee hangs on a black screen and does nothing. TWRP Manager tells me that TWRP is already installed; haven't tried using it to flash a new ROM from here, b/c that feels brickish.
Use AutoRec to fix the "secure boot error." Fails b/c running AutoRec results in it hanging at "checking for loki....installing," When I backed out after many minutes, I got an error that said "Tried to install Loki Tool, no luck."
I am out of ideas. I am pulling my hair out. The phone is working fine, except that it's stuck on 4.4.2. When I started, all I wanted was a working version of Lollipop, even if it was stock/unrooted. At this point, I'm so mad at Verizon/LG/Android for making this process so painful that I really just want to flash the latest CyanogenMod just for spite. But really -- I'll take anything.
Help?

VICTORY IS MINE. Here's what I did:
I decided to focus on the LG Flash Tool as my best potential for a successful outcome, and I further decided to focus on the LG drivers, which didn't seem be installing properly. So:
Nuked my computer and installed a fresh version of Windows 10, to ensure no errant drivers were present.
Installed LG United drivers from the top of this page: [link deleted b/c xda won't let me post it] (LG VZW_United_WHQL_v2.16.1.exe)
Connected the phone in Media Sync mode and waited while Windows installed some more drivers.
Connected the phone in Internet Connection -> Ethernet mode and waited while Windows installed yet more Drivers. (I think this may be the step I missed in all previous attempts; once this was done, the correct LG driver appeared in Device Manager.)
Installed LG Flash Tool 2014 (download link in the description of the below video).
Followed the instructions in this video: [link deleted b/c xda won't let me post it] ...
... to install VS98027A_05.kdz, which I found somewhere, but now can't remember where. But it's around.
Once all those elements were in place, it worked perfectly. Got a completely stock phone, just like the day I bought it. Immediately installed 3 software updates and am now on Lollipop.
I'm still not sure which parts of this puzzle mattered and which didn't, but I *think* the key was installing those specific drivers (and not the many other versions of the same that I came across while researching), and THEN connecting the phone in MTP mode (ethernet) -- because that's when I finally had the correct drivers appear in Device Manager. Once I got there, the LG Flash Tool worked the first time.
Right. I hope this helps someone. I lost two weeks of my life to this (and a perfectly good CentOS box).
Last thing: download mode for me doesn't work quite the way anyone describes it. I have to turn it off, hold the UP volume button, plug it in, then let go of the UP button briefly and then hold it down AGAIN. No one mentions that last part.
Hey guys.
My friends Oneplus One 64GB got 'bricked' today, and I am trying to save it.
He has never modded the phone before.
Firstly, it got stuck in a bootloop.
I then cleared the cache, after which it worked fine.
About 2 hours late, the phone just switched off when he was using it.
I tried to clear the cache again, but there was no effect.
I factory reset the device through recovery, but it continued bootlooping.
I then downloaded the OnePlus One Toolbox from inthiaano, unlocked the bootloader, then flashed the official rr nougat.
it booted fine, but it immediately started bootlooping after it was unplugged from the computer.
I am on a windows 10 device, freshly formatted and installed, so i doubt its a virus from the computer.
After it started bootlooping, nothing would work.
It can only access fastboot at the moment.
Please help me.
Any help is much appreciated.
