I was trying to downgrade my ROM using these instructions:
---------------
1) Download the latest firmware from Asus site (based os your SKU,eg. ww 9.4.5.26 * to downgrade from Jelly Bean you need the 9.4.5.30 firmware)
2) Extract the .zip file somewere on your desktop (the result will be another .zip file,use it for step 3)
3) Rename the extracted archive to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.ZIP" (without the " ") and upload it to a MicroSD card
4) Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use this button combination to Power ON and go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume Down and POWER togheter for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume UP before the 5 seconds expire.
At this point the device will go in recovery and should start updating your firmware .
-------------------
but when I booted to the stock recovery, it just show an icon of the android robot lying down with a red icon in its belly. I was trying to take a pic but it's not working
any ideas?
thanks

This should work. Double check the file name, for example do you hide file extensions when working on your PC? So you might end up with "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.ZIP.ZIP" Also the exact spelling could be important, e.g. capitalization. (For what it's worth, I didn't check in other threads if you are referring to the correct file name)

Hi xda!
So far to fix this problem I have gone through steps outlined here including:
Update Firmware (CM11)
Discharge/Recharge face down
Insulating SD card slot
Modifying grounding pin
On top of this I have replaced the digitizer.
I'm currently at my whits end with repairing my Sensation and was wondering if anyone had any advice.
The touchscreen and 4 buttons are not working and record no input when tested with CWM-recovery key test. The screen and lights of the buttons work.
With the touch not working in recovery I would assume hardware, what other issues other than the digitizer could cause this?
This is my first post so apologies if I have missed any etiquette!
Many thanks!
100% guaranteed touchscreen issues fix
The only working solution i find that works perfectly for touchscreen problems
I have tried every single solution for touchscreen issues on this site. I have found one that is basically guaranteed to work here it is:
INSTRUCTIONS: (YOUR PHONE WILL NEED TO BE ALREADY S-OFF AND UNLOCKED FOR THIS TO WORK WHICH YOU CAN DO THEN RETURN TO THIS TUTORIAL)
YOU WILL NEED TO DOWNLOAD THEESE 2 FILES
Recalibration tool - http://www.mediafire.com/?akul70qy128lo3u
Revolutionary hboot - http://www.mediafire.com/?1ed2y87pld66638
1. Take the NBH file from the provided link, and place it on root of your SD Card.
2. Boot into bootloader, by turning off your phone and then while its off hold the volume down button and then hold down the power button until the bootloader comes on then release bot of the buttons.
3. Once you’ve booted into the bootloader wait a second and you will notice that it searches for and finds the nbh file that you put on your sd card, It will then proceed to flash it. Some instructions will appear on the screen very quickly for about 2 seconds asking you to hold the phone horizontally while it calibrates it. Do this quickly and follow the rest of the instructions.
4. You will now see a screen appear giving you 2 options. Run the first option by selecting using the volume button if its not already selected and press power to run the process then run the second one once it is complete. Then simply remove the battery from your phone to turn it off.
5. Once again using the button combination, boot into the bootloader and select recovery. Once recovery boots into clockwork mod, do a factory reset and wipe data as well as the dalvik cache. Then reboot your phone.
Your touchscreen should now be calibrated and working perfectly.
Do not forget to delete the nbh file from your sd card once you’re done so it does not auto flash next time you go into your bootloader.
IMPORTANT!!!!!
If the process of flashing the nbh file does not work and gives you an error like this
“Security fail! Update fail! Press <POWER> to reboot.”
This is because the firmware is not the right one needed to flash the file and this can be corrected by flashing the Revolutionary hboot v 1.27.0000 following these instructions:
1. First make sure that you deleted the nbh file from the sd card root.
2. Place the file named “PG58IMG.zip” at the root of your sd card.
3. Power off your phone and use the button combination to boot into the bootloader.
4. The file will be detected and automatically start to flash, follow any onscreen instructions if necessary until this process completes.
5. Once this completes your phone should boot so that you can delete the zip file from your sd. If the phone is taking too long to boot you will need to remove the battery then the sd card. VERY IMPORTANT “With the sd card out of the phone” you will need to boot into the bootloader once more and enter recovery and factory reset the phone as well as wipe the data and dalvic cache.
6. Now the phone should be powered down and the turned back on. After the phone is finished booting up you should then replace the sd card and use whatever file explorer you have to delete the zip file from the root of the folder so that it does not autoboot the next time you enter the bootloader.(or you can do this whole step by deleting the zip file using a card reader and your computer)
7. You have now successfully flashed the correct firmware/hboot which is the revolutionary hboot required for the recalibration tool to work. Now you can try to reflash the calibration tool following the instructions at the very top of this tutorial again with the nbh file and it should work since I had to go through all this for mine to work and now my phone touchscreen work like a charm and is in perfect working order.
8. Thanks. I do not take credit for this fix, I have simply made a detailed explanation of how to get it to work as intended by this user on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2437293
Since i am afraid, that my Guide will dissapear in the other Thread,
i post this guide in a new Thread !
I have just uploaded a collection of, how i have named it, - s60 essentials - there are ALL files included to flash stock, update to .033, flash twrp recovery and root.
(this is for Win7 x86, you have to check if it works for other versions yourself, sy..)
Here is my collection
HOW TO.... Stock, Update, custom recovery and root your s60 !!!!
Disclaimer: if you brick your phone, it's your fault, i have tested this way of rooting my s60 now for a several times and it works 100%
SO READ TWICE, CHECK TWICE, BEFORE YOU CLICK ONCE !!!!! i will not take any responsibility !!!
Thanks to everybody who contributed here in this thread (Cesarq, OpenMinded, Tuschi, BetonJohn, etc.......) the software in the link
is the collected data, freely available in the net and linked in the original Thread several times, i have only bundled one package and wrote
this, hopefully usefull guide.
in principle do as follows: (I will only explain once how to sideload or load via recovery, afterwards i will only state what kind and what file)
Prerequists
- install USB drivers (for recovery and adb)
- install "minimal ADB and fastboot"
- copy the two updates (update032 & update033) into the folder, where you have installed "minimal ADB and fastboot" (makes live easier later)
- install QPST (the version of QPST is the one from Androidmtk and should be virusfree
(The version of QFIL in my collection is the one without reboot, so you have to reset/reboot your phone manually (resetbutton below hatchdoor on your phone) whenever
stated in this guide.
- format micro SD card in fat32 ! and copy SuperSU.zip onto it.
- connect a WORKING USB cable to your phone (Not to your PC atm !!!)
getting twrp (for saving your old firmware only)
- power off phone.
- start minimal adb on your PC
- start QFIL (part of QPST) on your PC
- press VOL+ & VOL- simultanousely and connect phone with PC (it will vibrate once, top right LED starts blinking red, screen stays black) - DOWNLOAD MODE -
(just in case: to leave Download mode, press and hold power button for apprx. 15 seconds)
- as soon as you connect your phone to the PC, QFIL should show the Phone/port in the topline allready, if not, either try to manually select the port, or you probably still have
a problem with the USB drivers !
- tick in QFIL Flat Build (top left)
- QFIL - select Programmer, "browse" to the saved location of "update-twrp-recovery-nobootpatch" and select the "prog_emmc.blablabla...mbn" file and doubleclick
- QFIL - "load XML" ,select rawprogramm, doubleclick, select patch0, doubleclick
- QFIL - click on "download"
- if everything was OK up till now, it should start download - BE PATIENT- and read the status window on QFIL, when it shows "finish download"....
- disconnect phone from PC
- press and hold simultanousely POWER and VOL+ and use a small tool to push the reset button on the phone under the hatch, while still pressing Power and Vol+ !
- the phone should now be in twrp recovery. If so, do a full backup now to your (allready inserted and fat32 formatted) microSD card!!!
when done
- Power off your phone !
flashing stock 31.02
- enter download mode again (Vol+ & Vol-, connect phone to PC.......)
- this time in QFIL, browse in programmer path to "s60_stockFW_31.02" and select the programmer from there
- load XML's (the onces that belong to Stock31.02)
- start download... this will take a while !!!! BE PATIENT !!!!
- when QFIL status window shows finish download, push the reset button on the phone and let it reboot.
- it is normal, that the phone should restart itself 2, maximum 3 times at the first start, but sometimes it ends up in a bootloop (Cat Logo, reboot, CAT logo, reboot, etc, etc, .......)
(The bootloop mainly happens, if you clear, in twrp recovery, the whole OS, but that's no issue either...)
- if it ends up in a bootloop, no worries, just continue ! Believe me, i did the process now several times ! )
you are back on stock 31.02 !
-Power off your phone again
Updating to 032
- bring up minimal ADB sideload on your PC (start it, if not allready done in previous step (getting twrp)).
- press and hold POWER and VOL+ button on your phone - RECOVERY MODE -
- when in stock recovery select (with Volume keys) "adb sideload" and click the Powerbutton
- connect your phone to the PC
- on PC, type into the black ADB Terminal window "adb sideload update032.zip" and hit enter
- if drivers are there, phone will start downloading the update now.
- when complete, select clear cache, and clear data then reboot your phone.
- again, same as in the step (flashing stock), if bootloop, no worries, just continue, if it boots up, let it boot up and then..
you're on 032 now
- Power off the phone again
Updating to 033
- do the same steps as described under "Updating to 032" only difference, type in adb window " adb sideload update033.zip"
After updating to 033 your phone should boot up normally now, NO MORE BOOTLOOP !
getting twrp
- this is the same step as above "getting twrp" only difference, this time, no backup needed and...
- when in twrp-recovery, select "install" browse to your micro SD-card, and...
- install SuperSU.zip from SDcard.
- once more, clear cache and data and reboot.
The phone should boot up now, you should be on FW 033, with custom recovery and root !!!
That's all !!!
Would a TWRP or fastboot flashable stock recovery let us apply future OTA updates without wiping and starting from stock 031 if we're using systemless root like Magisk?
From stock recovery you can reboot to bootloader which puts us in fastboot (you can select boot mode with Vol +/-), so I'm thinking if we could boot TWRP from fastboot (without flashing, obviously), we could back up the stock recovery. Then when the next update comes around, we flash stock recovery back, apply the update, then reflash TWRP.
I tried fastboot boot recovery.img from update-twrp-recovery-nobootpatch but I got
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
and rebooting into recovery from there just got me stock recovery which makes sense.
QCN please
Hi guys, can anyone share me QCN backup of S60 because i've lost it! Thanks.
Last update for Android 6.0 was from 766 days ago.
Any suggestions on how to patch?
Thanks a million
