same problem here...update went ok but this buggs me. Im on 331 LP, thinking of comming back to KK...don't know how...

cmon, anyone? Could it be because I've update LP while I wasn't on 326? I've follow the procedure on huawei site, can't remember on what version I was, could it be 125 or 128...is the rollback possible if I don't know on what version I was?

Same here, I'll just wait for MM..

I had the same issue before on B324, B326 & B331. For me though I always did an "upgrade" install by using the software updater in settings. I recently flashed B326 using the 3 button restore with the B326 update.app file in dload folder and since then my notifications on Facebook work perfectly. I suggest make a backup, place your dload/update.app file and use 3 button reset then restore from your backup. Worth a try maybe, unless of course you've already done that and I got lucky, haven't done a control test myself to be sure...

I assume you mean B331? Not sure I've seen 311.
Note: the backup is optional. Not really necessary if you don't have any data to save. But take caution as this process WIPES ALL DATA from your phone memory.
1. Make a backup: Launch the app named "Backup" and create new backup, save to memory card
2. Get the UPDATE.APP file from your download of the rom you're running (example B331) and store it in the root of your phone/mem card in a folder named "dload" (example: sdcard/dload/update.app)
3. Power off the phone
4. Enter recovery by holding down the 2 volume keys and then power on the phone while continuing to hold the volume keys. You can release the power button once it comes on.
5. Once the recovery screen opens you can release the volume keys.
6. Wait for finish and phone will restart automatically
7. Follow prompts on screen and when finished you can restore your backup made in step 1

So it's just update 331 over 331? Btw, all of my updates were using recovery (2 volume buttons + power), you sure this works?

Well then I'm not sure. All I can say is that's the last thing I did before my Facebook notifications worked. But I did it for 326, haven't tried the same method with 331, I found it a bit buggy and it didn't give me the Swype keyboard which I'd become quite comfortable with.

It must be something in 326...I think I skip that version...I went from some version much earlier than 326, but I did it by huawei instructions. Maybe my andriod missing some parts from 326...Since im on 331, I don't know how to go back to 326 to flash 331 again.

Just need to have the update.app file from B326, put in dload folder and do 3 button reset

Hmm...are you sure? Since this will be downgrade from 331 to 326...

follow this to step 9. it will give you stock RC29, then you can wait for the OTA updates. Or if you want, you can try again, these are the instructions I used, except step 12, i just used the telnet app from the market instead of downloading.

Awesome, thanks.
Crusher its quite obvious, you either dont have root, or you do and have no idea what it is. So the steps given above should help you out, whatever your situation is.
If you have it rooted and want to switch back to the standard loadset..
1) http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Root_For_RC30 download RC29NBH.zip
2) Extract that onto your SD Card
3) Turn off phone
4) Turn phone back on while holding the Camera Button
5) Press the Power button to install
6) http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=OTA_Updates download "RC30 Quick Patch, Not full update"
7) Copy it to your sd card and rename it to update.zip
8) Turn phone off
9) Turn phone back on while holding the Home button
10) Press ALT + S
11) You will be back at the standard loadset and can then apply the RC33 update.

[How To] Install The New GOT Update On Milestone

Hello My Friends I've Heard You Are Having Troubler Installing The New Upgrade Or Understanding What Is Needed To Be Done.
Note: THIS IS A WINDOWS BASED HOW TO AND WILL WORK ON WINDOWS ONLY​
Before I Start I must Say, This Is a combination of process and I have not created any of those files or own the right to them so all the links are the same links found on other posts from where i got the info, so by downloading those files you are, supporting them not me i take no credit for this work
Well Here Is the quick Easy Guide In How To Do This
-Fist we Need To Get The Tools To Perform This Operation
pulled From This Tread we need
1. Motorola Drivers For Either 32 or 64 Bits
2. RSD Lite, witch is a tool for flashing your phone.
3. The GOT Open Recovery ToolUpdate: Added Latest version from G.O.T.'S Blog
4.The Firmware Files From Got

EDIT: G.O.T. Has Added the burnerable open recovery to these sfb files so no need to flash it latter
-Now That We Have The Stuff We Need We are going to do it, fist i must say that unlike other roms that are applied by a backup restore (corect me if im whrong) this is a full flash and its going to reset everything so no apps will remain no setting will remain and is highly recommended that you uninstall every app you have, don't back them up(except for apps some apps that have a create backup file, those seem to work) just uninstall them, and when we are done have them installed again, Here Is A Tool That Will Help You Get There Faster
1.ok you have everything uninstalled right? now time for some action
2.install the proper divers (32 or 64)
3.install the RSD Lite tool
4.unzip the 2.2.1 FIRMWARE FILES you downloaded and you will find a ".sbf" file
5.now connect your phone to USB cable and turn it off
6.boot it in boot-loader mode (press the D-PAD UP key while pressing the power button), some night need you to release the button after a minute, a black screen will be shown on your phone and you will see the divers being installed on your computer.
7.when drivers are done open the RSD Lite tool and your device should appear you can click on it to see details.
8.now click on the "..." buttons that are close to the start button and look for the ".sbf" file, after a couple of seconds it should be ready to start
9.press the start button and do not unplug the cable or let your computer show the screen saver or go to sleep, the posses must not be stopped while it has started .
10.when the posses is done the devise will restart and voala, you have 2.2
-As GOT stands there are some bugs on the firmware and they have developed a fix to them and get root and overclock, here is what you have to do.
1. unzip the got open recovery tool into the root of your SD card
2.check this quote
NOTE: On some devices, we have encountered that rooting directly after flashing without rebooting after the initial flash can bring some issues with RootExplorer not asking for root permissions. To be safe, reboot after flash so that the “welcome to milestone” menu comes up, set up the device in general, then reboot to recovery and root the device as well as apply our 2.2.1 tweaks with Launcher, Services.jar fix and Wireless Tethering app.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this means if the fist time your milestone got restarted and you saw "Welcome to Milestone" Message You are good an you can root.
but if you didn't then restart you phone and see if the message comes out, if not , a factory reset should have that scree message shown.
3. open the open recovery by pressing camera and power button at the same time while the device id off. you should see a scree with a "!" symbol on it then press fist volume rocker up button a leave it pressed then press camera button, some letter will pop out.
4. using the pad scroll down to "apply update.zip", after a couple of seconds the GOT menu should pop out (everything from now on uses the pad)
5.root your phone (why not)
6.go down to "Launch 2.2.1 Menu" Option.
7.Here you will see the "Fix Bugs They Are Talking About
One of the first things you should do is use the “Fix 2.2.1 bugs” selection in the new OR 2.2.1 menu after you flash the sbf file.
This tweak will fix some of the issues with the generic sbf build such as dual USB notifications, replacing some stock Motorola applications such as the old launcher/mediagallery and adding the Wireless Tethering application.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. there is the overclock too.
Now your device should have all the things you need to start playing with it,I encourage you to check on some tweaks the GOT team might have, and you might want.
I Hope This Was Helpful enjoy ^_^

something i don't get
I updated the firmware with RSD Lite, and used the one click tool, because:
whenever i try to hit update.zip i will get an errormessage, stating that these blocks couldn't be found -> ergo, the card not be mounted.
The HTC stuff i always managed, but this one is a mistery to me. Also, i did format fat32, pushed the stuff and then straight on bootup trying to hit the update.zip, without success.
I've read about how other people solved that problem, none of those approaches helped me.
Any hint is more than welcome.
2 bugs i've discovered so far: Battery drain like almost to be declared useless, some market apps "vanish" after installing them. I suppose those fixes would have done the job. I might attempt to use root explorer and execute the scripts like that, still I'd like to know why I'm unable to get the update.zip, resp. the G.O.T or any other "intelligent" boot menu installed.
Edit2: Even when installing the vulnerable sbf, i still get the error: E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 ....

-there is an app i have called sd dual mount that makes my screen go crazy wen i connect the phone to an usb port, it was stable on 2.1 but now goes crazy on 2.2 check some of your apps to ensure they are not the ones responsible for this

i can confirm this. Simply trying it a second time worked for me
I'd like to add something for Linux users:
Using a virtual machine (virtualizing WinXP) that has USB support (eg Oracle VM VirtuaBox, since VirtualBox OSE does not support USB forwarding) can do this pretty easy. So no worries when trying this via a VM.
i try to instal GOT and its succesfull.
but why i install the application not bring to SD card
but still bring to internal memory
many said 2.2 automatic have app2sd

Hi guys!
Ok, place the zip file on microsd card. Then turn the transformer off.
Hold power and volume down until it boots up and you see the small text.
Now hurry and press volume upp right away. That seem to force it to start the firmware. I used the ww epad 8.2.3.13.
I dont know if its ok when your rooted tho..

Does anyone have the blob from the leaked 3.1, as the file has been pulled off the forums
thanks
Hello,
It doesn't work for me, is there any other thing to do ?
What i've done :
1) Make a folder called ASUS/Update from the root of your microSD card
2) Drop the .zip in there, rename to 'US_epad-user-8.4.4.5.zip'
3) If you're doing this on the Transformer itself, eject and remount the SD card. If on your PC, just plug the card in.
4) Click the update notification, it'll start the updater on it's own.
Got the notification, started it but got the warning when reboot itself in recovery, no update.

To quote meself. Try the above. I used 8.2.3.13 tho.
Do I have to rename it or anything else ?
Hi, i didnt do that. Just booted with power and volume down. Then as soon as the small text appear on left side i pressed volume up. That way it flashes it right away.
Ok, someone on a french forum find the solution that worked for me !
Download the last WW update on the Asus Website
Open the .zip file, in the ASUS/Update folder there will be another .zip file
Rename it EP101_SDUPDATE.zip and put it to the root of your external microSDcard
Boot in recovery (volume down and power) and then press volume up when it's asked in the upper left corner.
Let the update apply.
Once it boot, power off your tab, boot again in recovery, wait to have the wipe menu, confirme to wipe your device, let it wipe and reboot and that's ok !

Sounds like you were using the wrong .zip file to begin with. There were a few going around. One was a zip with a zip in it, which you need to do what you did, another simply was that inner zip file. If you named the inner zip to US_epad-user-8.4.4.5.zip and followed the directions as posted previously it probably would've worked as well. Just looks like you had one copy of the zip and the instructions for the other
Was on TW_epad_user_8239 and updated to the leak 3.1 with US firmware.
managed to downgrade (all the way back to TW_epad_user_82313) and TF auto prompt me upgrade to TW_epad_user_8239 (with numerous reset)
However, there are many android.process* crashes...

How To Root Stock Droid Charge FP5

Typed this up for a friend I thought it would be nice to share with any new droid charge owners looking for a guide to how to root FP5.
Major Credit goes to:
trparky
I learned how to do this from his website:
Tom's Android Knowledge Base -- Offline
Root Stock Droid Charge FP5:
First download this tool:
MD5-Checker
It will be used to run an md5 check on the files before they are flashed to your phone.
Next download this:
http://www.toms-world.org/android/download/ftp/ODIN3+v.1.82.exe
MD5: 3D8E8240F2A4F66E63A6622F65C7C909
This is Odin the *Windows* program used to interact with your phone.
Next download this:
0817_charge_recovery.tar.md5
MD5: 925D33E1AD40518AAC09B179DFDB0F76
This is CWM your main interface that will be used when loading roms, etc
Finally download this:
http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip
MD5: 6462AC14CD38ED7C539CE3E29A6B92A8
This is the file that you flash to root your phone.
Run MD5 Tool to make sure all the MD5's match the previous MD5 checksum!
1. Open the MD5 program
2. Select create an MD5 checksum
3. Browse to the file that needs to be checked
4. Verify that the MD5 created matches the ones above (if they don't re-download)
5. Repeat for all files
Now you have all the files downloaded to root your phone. The steps to root stock droid charge are as follows:
Copy files to SD card
1. On the home screen select settings
2. Select USB setting and turn on USB debugging
3. Plug in your phone to your computer (give it a min to install drivers)
4. Pull down your top bar and select "Connect storage to PC" button
5. Create a new folder called Downloads
6. Drag the Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip file into the Downloads folder that you just created
7. Hit the "Disconnect from storage PC" button on your phone
CWM
8. Turn off your phone
9. Once the phone is completely off take out the battery
10. Open Odin then while holding the volume button down plug your phone into the computer
11. When you get the Yellow triangle with android in it your in download mode, plug battery back in.
12. On the left under option uncheck Auto Reboot (you and leave F. Reset Time checked)
13. Once Odin picks up your phone (a yellow com box will show up) click on PDA and browse to the CWM file and select it
14. Click start (it should be a quick flash)
15. Once the flash says successful take out battery and unplug phone
Superuser
16. Put your battery back in the phone
17. Hold down volume up and home (button on bottom of phone that has an up arrow) and the power button
18. Once you see the Samsung logo release the power button but continue to hold down the volume up and home button down
19. Once your phone has booted into CWM(there will be a banana at the bottom of the screen) arrow down with the volume button and select mounts and storage with the power button
20. Arrow down to the option that says mount system and use the power button to select it
21. Arrow down and select go back
22. Arrow down and select install zip from sdcard
23. Select choose zip from sdcard
24. Arrow down and select Downloads
25. Select the file that says Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip
26. Arrow down and select Yes - Install Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip
27. Select Go Back
28. Select Go Back
29. Select reboot system now
Let the phone boot up go the market and install root check it should say you’re rooted. Then your all done your phone has root that wasn't so hard was it
If you still are unsure or run into any problems feel free to send me a pm I would be happy to help you through the process via skype.
The link to the recovery file you mentioned in this post points to http://www.imnuts.org/downloads/charge/1209_charge_recovery.tar.md5.
Please update your link.
I no longer have permission to distribute the CWM file that imnuts made. The file has also been removed from the file system path that the web server has access to, meaning that it's outside of the public_html folder.
I do realize that some people still want the older 4.0.1.4 version of CWM but you will have to ask Imnuts for that file. Like I said, I do not have permission to distribute that file anymore.

Sure thing just updated post thank you for making me aware
I cant get the md5 for match for this file. I've downloaded over and over and it still doesnt match. what do i need to do?
"Next download this:
MD5: E9A01D028362387332C46F5FB32C23A6
This is CWM your main interface that will be used when loading roms, etc"
The others matched with no problem.
Help!
The correct MD5 signature for that file is 9C41377FDCDB341310BC8C25D0794D6D.
A one-step ODIN using dwitherell's deodexed odin rooted stock file as described here is so much simpler, IMO.
how to get the Root? There is a method in one click.

Didnt think there was a one click for our device? Didnt see it listed.
No, there isn't a "one-click-root" for the Droid Charge.

I'm pretty sure there is no one click root for our DC. Im not a fan of one click root learning how to root manually will get you comfortable with flashing with Odin and CWM which you will need to flash roms, kernels, etc.

Props to you ztkryan!!
Spent hours trying to find something simple to explain this process. There are tons of people trying to explain this but nobody can seem to do it in a step by step list.
Simple, clear and concise ;D
I did all the following steps as stated, and when I run Root Checker, it states "Sorry, you do not have proper root access."
Am I the only one receiving this error? Does anyone know what I am doing wrong perhaps?

just an FYI if you rebooted your phone you will have to install cwm again (stock kernel overwrites recovey to stock recovery on boot)

I must have missed something, I have root and that seems to be working fine but when I try to get back into CWM to do a backup by holding the up volume + power & home it appears to take me into a stock recovery. Did I do something wrong?

You didn't do anything wrong to make cwm stick you have to flash a custom kernel the stock kernel overwrites custom recovery on boot

Asus The New PadFone Infinity (A86) aka PadFone Infinity 2 Thread

Hi,
Since I didn't find a thread for The New PadFone Infinity (A86) aka PadFone Infinity 2, decided to create this thread.
Hopefully this top device gets noticed by developers.
Any MOD for audio? Low handset speaker volume?
As you might noticed, the speaker volume (notifications, ringtones, etc.) of NPFI handset is pretty low even when all volume sliders are maxed out and audio wizard is set to "Music".
I have a rooted device and installed Alsa Mixer from Play Store and tweaked the parameter "RX7 Digital Volume" from within the app. Changed default value of 85 to 100 and was pleased to get a noticeably louder speaker volume. Problem is that the value resets almost instantly and volume level gets back to its default value. Probably because Alsa Mixer installs its own audio driver (alsa amixer) which uses a separate system for assigning values and there is a protection system in place by Asus I think.
I also played with parameters in files below (residing in /system/etc/snd_soc_msm) - tweaked the RX7, RX1, RX2, etc...
snd_soc_msm_Taiko
snd_soc_apq_Taiko_DB
snd_soc_msm_Taiko_CDP
snd_soc_msm_Taiko_Fluid
snd_soc_msm_Taiko_Liquid
saved and reboot, but it didn't make a difference. So anyone has any idea to share?
P. S. As far as I know the audio engine for NPFI is designed by Wave and is called MaxxAudio, Is it possible that it has something to do with that?
Thank you for making much needed forum.
Hopefully soon there will be gathered all the essentials.

hi there, thanks for the update :good:
Hmm nothing major...
I wonder why the New Padfone Infinity has to wait the longest to get the latest version of Android...
Kingoapp
Kingoapp worked ok for me for root.
I had to reboot phone and a PC after a driver install, but that's ok.
Is there a sub forum for PadFones? Would be nice to have a place for this stuff.
There are some other places for PFs.

The new update 10.12.3.130 has a bug. Apparently Asus is working to fix the bug. Don't panic. Hopefully a bug fix will be released soon.
Now I wonder how ASUS ZenFone 6 works...
Still waiting on that 130 fix... wondering if there just ignoring it and going to wait until ZenUI is ready

I must say I share your doubt. Possibly they are working on KitKat for NPFI, and ignoring the fix for now. Disappointing customer support management!
Its a shame that theres no developer support for the A86. Such a great device with no custom roms
KIT KAT Released for NPFI
Finally Asus released firmware update 11.2.5.12 for NPFI which updates its android version to 4.4.2
Download links are available at Support section of your device in Asus website.
Yes, I downloaded it and had mine updated, mine you all, 4.4.x has a known issue, that is all 3rd party apps cannot write to external SD, unless you root it and apply the fix, then either leave it as rooted or unroot it again.
Root 4.4.2 - Build: 11.2.5.26 (TW)
Hi
Just got one of these and it has recently updated from .20 to .26 and now I cant root it? Any ideas?

Thanks

Rooting Firmware 12.4.0.59 - Android 5.0.2 - A86
This post is copied from my own thread in padfoneclub.com so there is no case of stealing
If you want to copy this post on other forums please do not forget to give due credits to original poster.
Disclaimer! The procedure described below has the potential of rendering your phone useless if not followed properly. I DO NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY WHAT SO EVER, IF YOU BRICKED YOUR PHONE WHILE PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE. PROCEED AT OWN RISK!
This method is tested by downgrading firmware 12.4.0.59 to 11.2.5.26, which in turn needs a factory reset/ wipe data/ cache/ afterwards. Before anything else back up your important data (ie. contacts, messages, app data, etc) to some place safe outside your phone. ORIGINAL RECOVERY of your phone will be replaced by TWRP recovery
Preparation: (BEFORE ANYTHING REMOVE YOUR SIM CARD AND MICRO SD)
1. You must have USB debugging enabled, allow mock locations (developer options menu in settings)
2. You must have UNKNOWN SOURCES enabled (security menu in settings)
3. To be on the safe side I recommend you disable VERIFY APPS OVER USB, in developer options menu. You can re enable everything after the job is done.
4. You need to download firmware 11.2.5.26, and 12.4.0.59 according to your phone SKU and save it on your computer.
5. Download WINRAR or any archiving software which is able to modify zip files and install it on your computer.
6. Download unofficial TWRP ver 2.7.1.1 ONLY from this link, and save to your computer
7. Download BETA SUPER SU 2.49 from here, and save it to your computer.
8. If you are on firmware, 11.2.5.26, or 11.2.5.30 and rooted you are half way done, if not either you have to upgrade or downgrade depending on the firmware that now you are on. For example if you already upgraded to 12.4.0.59 you need to downgrade first and root, then proceed. There's a thread in padfoneclub which comprehensively discusses way to root Kit Kat firmware so I skip to just explaining downgrade procedure from 12.4.0.59.
9. To downgrade from 12.4.0.59 to 11.2.5.26, you do it in the usual way from recovery except you need to factory reset/wipe data/ wipe cache via recovery beforehand. REMEMBER TO REMOVE YOUR MICRO SD FIRST AND THEN WIPE OR YOU MAY LOSE YOUR DATA ON MICRO SD AS WELL! After wipe, reboot your phone and place the 11.2.5.26 zip in the root of your sd card by transferring downloaded zip from your PC.
10. Downgrade by choosing "apply update from sd card menu item" in recovery and selecting the zip file you just transferred to your phone. Remember to have at least 70% charge on your battery before downgrade or upgrade.
11. After the downgrade process completes your phone reboots, if it is stuck in ASUS logo for a long time (more than 10 min), switch off your phone by pressing and holding power button. Then reboot into recovery again do another factory reset / wipe data / wipe cache and reboot again. Now everything will be OK and your phone boots to initial KK setup. proceed until you are on the home screen. reboot your phone again.
12. make sure that items explained in step 1-3 are checked and unchecked accordingly.
13. Root your phone by your desired method.
NOW THE IMPORTANT STEPS TO UPGRADE TO A ROOTED ANDROID L 12.4.0.59
1. On your PC replace the "recovery.img" in the zip file for Firmware 12.4.0.59 with TWRP recovery that you just downloaded. Both have the same name and it is a simple case of drag and drop into zip file.
2. Now you have 3 important file:
- The modified 12.4.0.59
- The TWRP recovery you downloaded (recovery.img)
- The beta Super SU 2.49
Copy all 3 file to the root of your sd card in your phone.
3. Install "Terminal Emulator" from Play Store, open the terminal and give it root permissions if needed.
4. Type su
5. Then type
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery bs=4096; sync;
(you can copy paste to rule out any typing mistake)
6. After executing the command a number of bytes transfers and the results will display in terminal window. close the window and reboot into recovery as usual, except this time you have TWRP recovery instead of original Asus recovery.
7. Go to "Install" button and select the modified 12.4.0.59 from your sdcard, uncheck "zip file signature verification" then "add more zips" and select beta super su 2.49. zip as well, then swipe to confirm flash.
8. If everything goes according to plan your phone will be flashed with the new firmware and rooted at the same time.
9. Reboot and enjoy!
10. I tried this method on my phone and it all went smoothly, but in case you get errors, you have to figure it out yourself, I WONT BE ABLE TO HELP YOU! AGAIN BE CAUTIOUS, FOLLOW STEPS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED AND PROCEED AT OWN RISK.
