missing keyboard? - Shield Q&A

I feel a bit odd admitting to this, but i am stumped - i bought a shield portable, am running through the setup and the keyboard will not appear when i need to type in my wifi password. I've tried skipping that stage, and the keyboard won't pop up for anything else either.
The system was rooted and had supersu(?) on it when i bought it, i unrooted it through that or thought i did, but no difference except supers is no longer present. I've factory reset, nothing.
Is there something in the settings that could be causing this, or anything else anyone can think of? I've even tried getting the recovery images off nvidia but the windows ones won't work, i downloaded the linux version and managed to extract that through cygwin as according to one youtube video i found that would give me what i needed, but the extracted files are nowhere to be found.
I feel very tired, and very stupid right now.
HELP?

Fn Keys improperly mapped

I have been working on a ROM based on the 1.61 ROM that was recently released on the site. However, I have been experiencing a strange glitch with the way the Fn keys are mapped. I have tried running the HTC Keyboard fix but to no avail. To give you an idea of a few of the incorrect mappings, ! and @ are switched, ? / and _ are right, and the rest are all basically wrong. Has anyone else ever experienced this error, or have any idea where it might have came from?
I have a feeling it might be from a missing file or something that I mistakenly added, but I have no idea what it could be.
EDIT: I released a fix for my problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359143
download tilt keyboard fix
Like I said, I tried that. And theoretically, I shouldn't need it, because I based my ROM off an AT&T ROM.
EDIT: Nevermind, that was the problem. I just forgot to reset my Tilt. Strange that the fix is needed though, I used an AT&T ROM base.
On another topic, does anyone know why Pictures and Videos keeps showing up in Programs? I deleted the shortcut to it from OEM apps, but something seems to be recreating it. Any idea what? Also, and I am sure this question has been answered before (but I can't find the answer), but anyone know why I cannot make a OEM package of the Keyboard fix? The option to extract it is greyed out when I try to make it an OEM package.

[Q] need help with UnBrickableResurrectorR40

I need some help. I will set up the scenario first. My Cap has had the unbrickmod performed on it about 8 months ago. I had the battery fall out ib the middle of a flash. I was getting the phone /computer "you screwed up a firmware install" animation. I tried to get it cleared up with Odin and now it is black screen no matter what I try. Can't get download, or recovery, and the usb jig won't even get it into download. I am completely unschooled and self taught with pc and phones and I think I have done pretty well. Now, I have taken another big step and after reading up on what to do next, I installed successfully, Ubuntu in my laptop (xp pro)and I can dual o.s. or boot either o.s. individually and everything seems to work fine. I downloaded UnBrickResrectR40, HIBL.zip, and java jre7.0.5. Ihave no clue about Linux or command lines,but after reading a million different claims on how to install these files i was finally able to get the java installed. But, I can't get the unbrickres file to install. I always get an error saying file not found by regex. Now I have copies in downloads,desktop, home, files, and have changed permissions and types(jar,javaw.exe,zip.gz) and still nothing. No forums or help pages help. They all give directions as if you know what you are doing already. They must figure if you got this far you are a tech or a dev, not a noob electrician who can't even type. I need some seriously slow,detailed,step by step,hand holding through this one, if someone has the patience. Back to the phone. The only thing that shows any life in the phone at all is when it is plugged into my laptop. It doesn't show up anywhere but under device manager. It shows under "universal serial bus devices" as, SEC S5PC 110 Test B/D , location 0,device is working properly,driver provider-libusb.org, driver date-7-13-2009,driver version-6.7.7600.16385, not digitally signed. That is it. I need some direction. What do I do now? Hopefully someone feels adventurous.Thanks

[Q] Tablet stuck in password screen + recovery mode doesn't work

Hello,
I'm sorry to bother you with an apparently repetitive thread, but I assure it is not.
I've been dealing with this problem for over a year now. Of course there were times that I simply gave up, but every now and then I searched all over the internet (seriously; very resilient, I am) and tried everything. Nothing seems to work.
The issue is: one day I was reading something on Google Reader and the tablet restarted. When it came back, it was in this password screen.
[AS A NEW USER I COULDN'T POST THE IMAGE - please see attachment ending in 41]
Detail: I had never, EVER set any kind of password. I don't do this with any of my devices unless I'm obliged to (as in Windows 8, this big piece of shiite).
So the thing is: I did not set a password, I did not choose to ask for a password in any situation and there isn't a single combination that I haven't tried. The thing doesn't even ask me to stop -- like 'hey, you've tried your 30k input, I think you should stop now'.
Now, for you not to start cursing me, I tried EVERYTHING that is basic and post-basic to fix it. I did wipe the data, I tried flashing another ROM, I did cold boot, factory reset, EasyFlashed, nvflashtf and whatnot. I swear to GoogleGods that I, as a non-expert-but-very-keen-on-technology, could.
Another thing that happens is when I try to enter the recovery mode, after using the nvflash, it doesn't work. The image that appears to me is this one:
[SAME THING -- attachment ending in 38]
Again: I'm not a complete noob. I know how to get into things; all I need is a simple guidance. I'm really sorry if this has been posted before and only I couldn't find it, but I won't be so if someone helps me to get it and solve my problem. I can't stand this anymore -- now it's just a matter of pride.
Thank you all.
This happened to me on my SL101 after I flashed a ROM of some sort. I used ADB commands to push the stock ROM back to it and to push another Recovery to it. Mine was in worse shape, Recovery loop, and then I finally got it to where yours currently is. My physical nor on screen keyboard would even work. Look up some ADB commands, perhaps you already know them, and attempt to either push the stock ROM or a new Recovery blob back to it.

Yeah, well, y'know, I'm not at this level yet, but I'll dig into ADB and stuff.
I tried to use this sometime in the past, but my computer was so bad back then that I had to give up to keep my sanity. Now I've got a fairly good one (very good, considering the few things I use it for), however much less time.
Tonight is the night, though. I'll study as much as I can and I'll fix this ****. Any tip you may remember now would be useful.
Thanks.
I'm struggling with something even before I start: there's no way I can get access to the system and turn the USB Debugging on.
I know I'm not getting much attention, but I won't give up. Please just do not accuse me of spamming; I'm just a desperate geek that has been kept away from his toy.
Alright, after the childish speech, here's the latest update: I cannot use de ADB thing because there's no way I can turn on the USB debugging mode.
Or is there? The latest news is that I can get access to some system files through the ASUS File Manager (turns out it still reads the MicroSD Card, even though I could not update the device this way). So, technicians, is there a way to hack into this beast? Fu ck, I don't even know how to call it anymore.
There isn't much I can do with this File Manager. Mostly visualize the folders and rename this and that (which is the only thing I reckon might be useful).
Jesus, I'm sleepy, I can't even write properly anymore. Please someone help me. It can't be that hard.

For some reason i thought you were on th sl101(slider) so i didnt comment. So heres the deal, any fix is going to be data destructive(nothing you can do at this point as even if you manage to pull data from the tablet, it will be encripted) You need Easyflasher(dev section) follow the instructios there (basically donwloading stock firmware from asus and by using nvflash in apx mode it will re-partition storage, and upload the stock firmware to the tf101)
If you hit any problems, post them here and ill help you further
Edit: just read you post more, if you tried easyflaher and it didnt work, please post the details of what you tried within easyflasher.
Its a strange issue, if it happend to me and id tried the things you already have, this is what id try:
-Flashing ubuntu from the dev section(i known very little about how nvflash works but it maybe only re-partitioning certain partitions, ubuntu i would imagine would require a full re-partitioning)
-alternativly (or on top of the previous idea) use one of the ubuntu installers(OLiFE on ubuntu worked the best for me, but franks tools/ newer software based on franks tools should work fine) and flash the Prime! rom on its own.
If these dont work, your last resort is asus - but thats a long shot lol

If you can't get into anything, but you can enter APX Mode, but NVFlash doesn't work, then I'm not sure anything will as NVFlash completey deletes and recreates all the partitions on the drive
So unless you have been unlucky and downloaded a bad version of an NVFlash ROM....
I know you say you have used NVFlash but I`ll stick this here anyway
The way I restore is:
Connect tablet to PC and make sure the tablet is turned off (Make sure it is the only USB device connected other than keyboard/mouse)
Hold Volume Up + Power for a few seconds until you hear the USB connect sound on the PC, release the buttons, you are in APX mode
Install APX drivers if you have not already
Now extract this
http://www.xdafileserver.nl/Files/Asus/Asus%20Transformer%20(TF101)/STOCK%20ROMS/ICS%20.27/NVFLASH_ICS_9.2.1.27_WW_NOROOT.7z
And run "download.bat"
I think you should see some text appear on the tablet screen, and progress will be shown in the command prompt window on the PC
Wait for it to complete 100%
Its been a while so I can't remember if the tablet will reboot on its own or if you need to hold power for 30 seconds to get out of APX mode
Either way, make sure it is completely finished and reboot the tablet
Only thing I can remember going wrong with NVFlash was the first time I rebooted after a sucessful boot, it would hang on a black screen
Just hold power for 30 seconds and then power on normally, done, if it has worked you have your tablet back, if not, I think its a hardware issue > see asus
Im very keen to get this fixed/ find the issue as uptil now I thought the tf101 was virtually software invincible, you need to pay attention to what the nvflash process says, the one thing I can think of as to why nvflash didn't work is it can't write over encrypted partitions although that would make no sense why it wouldn't.
Just a suggestion... make sure you're not docked. Some people report issues when nvflashing while docked (I can't replicate those issues except with the Tubuntu tool).
Is there a solution?
I also have an error! see picture

Portable ADB ALL [ANDROID] devices

Have you ever needed to use ADB at a work PC or a location you could not "install" applications?
Unzip the attached file and click the RunMe.bat
I have tested this pulling logs, pushing/pulling files, flashing recovery, roms, and anything else I could think of.
I tested it on the M8 stock rom 5.0.2 but this is a generic file so it should be fine on most if not all android devices.
The idea came when I was at work and looking for a solution for a problem I had. I could not install anything on my work PC, so this came in handy, the only problem is that it was outdated, or seemed outdated for my needs.
find the zip file here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347791558
This topic has been covered but is very outdated. I only found information from 2011 and 2013. The included information has since been updated by Google. I found it and included it, re-zipped it and now it is here for you to enjoy.
Thanks
to @Kickface, (where I first found this solution) wherever you went and any others who have created a truly portable (not minimal) solution to using ADB without installing anything.

I know this is totally off topic, I'll report myself for it later....
So, I installed the zip file onto my work PC, a DELL Inspiron laptop running Windows 7 professional (I really cannot get too much more info about it now) sorry. My nooby butt just went and downloaded the file not checking the MD5 :crying: Totally a dumb thing a NOOBY would do. It started to get late & I had to get ready to go to work. I know I had the command prompt screen (Black box) running and I then left the computer. 8 hr's later I come home from work and the computer is locked as normal, I to proceed entering Ctrl+Alt+Delete combination as usual & NOTHING (panic setting in)!! I was concerned since it was frozen from something I done, also I didn't want to loose all the work I gathered that night prior (is the very least of my worries now)... I took out the battery to reset the computer, again like a dummy, I started Windows normally ignoring the other "safe mode, etc" options. I click on windows Chrome, NOTHING! Not even an option to open the program/app. Okay, I'm really panicking now WTH did I do??? I knew I did something wrong, so I reset the computer by battery again, put it in "Safe Mode" which did absolutely nothing as I couldn't "open desktop gadgets in safe mode". Now, I restarted the computer from the start menu... Started up completely fine, I have access to everything EXCEPT Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc. anything that is browser related has the administrator shield on the icon. However, I still cannot even click on the icon to run as an administrator even if I had the password!?!?
Is there any possible hope to uninstall that file and just maybe it'll go back to normal??? I cannot re-install Chrome or Internet Explorer due to the darn administrator rights!!!
I've searched to the ends of the earth since last night trying to find a solution, this is my last ditch effort resort for any possible suggestions to point me in the right direction. Luckily my friend was kind enough to lend me his laptop and my phone is in proper working order:angel: If I tell my IT guy what happened, I'll be in huge trouble, going on the 2nd laptop destroyed, 1st time really wasn't my fault, just saying so u don't think I'm continuously reckless.
Any help as always is greatly appreciated! Hoping someone has had this happen maybe:fingers-crossed: and just a slight point in the right direction (link, website, specific thread on forum) would b awesome?? Again, apologies on the "off-topic" content, I don't know what else to do & I feel as though XDA is THE ABSOLUTE BEST forum site for any Android help, apps, devs research, roms, etc. Thx in Advance!!

I can tell you that it's not related to the files because I use them on my work PC all the time. I am working 10 hours days, 6 days a week. So the only time I can do anything out of the ordinary on my phone, it has to be at work.
That being said, have you tried system restore? I'm not sure if that requires admin rights, it might. On another note, tell the IT guy your internet explorer just stopped working, they love that. Because seriously, it's unrelated. The most he will do is uninstall and reinstall IE/Chrome. If that doesn't fix it, a system restore should. If that still does not, there is something off with the settings for internet access (I've seen that before). But if you are saying there is a shield/lock over an icon, that's new to me.
Also, I can install chrome at my work. It usually does not require admin rights, that and Firefox. There are also many portable browsers you can download from another PC and copy the zip file to the laptop, and run the app. Just search portable browser. At least this will help determine if the browsers installed got locked or if there is a network setting being blocked.
Let me know how it goes. This IS a bit off topic, but let's figure out what's wrong publicly so the mods can see there is nothing wrong with the zip I posted and then we can have our posts removed.

Thanks for getting back to me, I appreciate it.
I'm glad to hear that it's not the file bc I cannot uninstall that regardless. We do have crazy blocks on all the computers at my work. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the sensitive information we have (a drug tx center so everyone's personal info is in our database). We can't even update the time on our computers, I have no clue why. I asked him once, he said something about giving that permission would open up another way to bypass security (I can't remember exactly).
This is my laptop, I never even bother bringing into work because I work so much from home. For example my login at the office has updated twice when at home it's still my old login password. The computer is physically in bad shape (it's been used & abused for sure) I'd prefer not to the bring it in for him to see so I plan on waiting to Friday night (IF ALL ELSE FAILS) and txtg him saying I absolutely need to work & see if he will do troubleshoot remote access! I hope that doesn't sound too horrible :-/
As I was typing this I just received an email to restart all workstations due to updates/ changes to the server done this weekend... Hmmmm it could totally be bc of this!!!!! Fingers crossed. I may just have to bring it in let it connect to the local server reset it, and bam good to go If not due to this I can almost guarantee it's the internet settings that I don't have access to!! But the portable browser should work...
I will still try all of your suggestions once I get home this afternoon and report back to you ASAP!!
Luckily I have my friends laptop to borrow & Dell had some good deals on laptops last night so I ordered a really nice one since I really need a personal computer again. Which I will also get an expense check for (bonus)!! But, won't arrive until 3/16. Until then I do have access to extra pc's here I could always swap it out, but I don't want to be scrutinized or punished for being sneaky, it's really not my character...
Again, I appreciate your input. Also, totally agreed on the "off-topic resolution" first and then delete our posts...
Thanks Again!
Yeah, I cannot get through the security on it.
When I look at the properties or try to repair Chrome or IE, it has an incorrect path, totally crazy looking.
\\localhost\C$\os(c\Users\mludford.....
I'm currently downloading a zip for a standalone browser. Hopefully that'll work...
This thread in general is totally crazy too, it looks like I replied like 3 or 4 times, I DID NOT :/ I tried twice & it told me that I didn't have access to the post, with a grey button over my original post you replied to, saying "Spoiler"!?! Very strange....

New Verizon Ellipsis 10 Tablet

I purchased the new Verizon Ellipsis 10 in late November. I believe the tablet was released for sale in mid November. My question is can it be rooted? I see the Ellipsis 7 and 8 can rooted. Wondering if anyone would be working on this or because it from Verizon no one cares. I can't find the tablet mentioned on any search that I do. I Have been checking daily to see if the device will have development on it. Thanks in advance for any information.
In the same boat. Need some help you smart tech guys out there. How can I root my Ellipsis 10?
I have the same tablet, and I do not think it could be rooted, at least not in the near future. The tablet comes encrypted (which I am not too happy about....I just noticed it) and cannot be decrypted, even if you do a factory reset. It runs fine as it is, but would be greatly enhanced if it could be decrypted. I also think there are very few devs on this forum that really care a lot about this tablet, so you may not see too much work being done on it.
Same here, just picked one up. Really hoping that there will be a root for this at some point soon. Someone please help us all out!
wish I would have saved the 50$ now, and got the Samsung tablet for free... it's OK, the biggest problem for me is the audio output being too quiet. all the "volume booster's" on the play store have been jenky, to say the least. if anyone has suggestions of a "good, volume booster", or work around, please let me know. thank you for you time.
Oh, No! Sadness!

I have the same tablet, and I do not think it could be rooted, at least not in the near future. The tablet comes encrypted (which I am not too happy about....I just noticed it) and cannot be decrypted, even if you do a factory reset. It runs fine as it is, but would be greatly enhanced if it could be decrypted.

qtair7 firmware files
https: / / " www dropbox com " /s/f8ye7yw24mjqiva/IR7-20C59.7z?dl=0
just fix the text when u enter in address bar (-""'s,+.'s)
so i downloaded the IR7-20C59..7z package from the software upgrade/repair tool from verizon... I extracted the files and sent the boot.img to my tablet (qtair7) and used magisk manager to patch the boot.img then I used ubuntu to adb pull the magisk-patched-boot.img and modded it using abootimg and changed a few things from default.prop.. ro.secure=0 ro.debuggable=1 and drm.service.enabled=false .. (just saying im an amateur android enthusiast with little experience. ive played with image kitchens and compiled a kernel and ported a rom for the samsung on5 indie variant to have sound on my smg550t1. worked but all google services and apps crash constantly.. but anyways) i dont really know what im doing just saying this is what i did. repacked magisk-patched-boot-new.img then i sent the adb reboot fastboot command to my tablet and it fastboot flashing unlock , fastboot flashing unlock boot, fastboot flash boot magisk-patched-boot-new.img. fastboot continue, fastboot reboot.. the tablet boots and is rooted with magisk.. now i installed busybox to sbin. i have done this 2 times. im not sure if its the busybox or the magisk, but when i reboot following the above steps i get the verizon splash screen and in the bottom righthand corner of the screen it says modified. then boots to recovery. and now can only boot to recovery. now i have the upgrade/repair tool .iso on usb flashdrive that i use to repair my device from this state. which sometimes is a pita.. i have to continually attempt to repair sometimes it takes 2 days.. before it finally works.. i dont know why.. but it boots from fastboot the first time fine. and would like to know how to stop the soft bricking of my device or how i can obtain a twrp.img for this device QTAIR7.. please help ive been working on rooting my tablet for over a year. and feel that i am very close . thanx
Anyone interested in the system.img or any other partitions.. the Dropbox file is only the recovery flash files. I think. I know I couldn't edit system.img from the file with any kitchen but the system.img I dd'd from my device can be edited with kitchen. It's is 3.7gb so in not going to post unless someone can do something with them
Please share some info on the file you posted,..

Hello, THANK YOU!! This is the most progress I have made in months! I don't know what it is, what it offers, or what to do with it yet, but it is a step!
Could you maybe say what it is, what it will do (how it helps..) and what to do with it?
My Verizon Ellipsis 10 (qtair7), even after wiping the cache, even after doing a factory reset, (even after 'disabling' all but FEW APPS!) JUST SPONTANEOUSLY REBOOTS every time i try to do anything, I try to watch a video it is fine for 5 minutes or an hour then I push volume up or touch the screen and suddenly it reboots, totally random, Clearing the cache gets it to works for a while but it always does it again it has NEVER been usable really,.. It pops up some screen often like"Google Play Services have stopped' something like that,.. Will this help with any of that? Make it more,. stable?
I wish I could just do ANYThING simple to make it better I just use it for video playback,.
THANK YOU!
I have the same tab with the same issues. Rebooting, random cut out and full on reboot. Just before it became target practice I decided to take it apart, just because that's what I do when I'm bored and my ADHD is taking over. I looked up the tab on youtube to see if there was any vids of how to get it apart and found a guy that said he fixed the with the tablet that no one could figure out. Meh I was like ok I'll give him a couple seconds checked it out. He found that all connections, screws holding boards down, and power were all loose. Once he went through all of that it had fixed the issues. So I tried it and damn, everything from screws holding boards down to power feeds were all loose, really bad loose. Got mine working good now. Haven't had issues since. Now if I can get it rooted I'll be good. And I suspect the loose connections would also potentially cause the battery to go bad from excessive amperage draw and charge in short time, over time.
