Hi there people,
Well I did a big BS tbh. I was running AOSiP(20190407) but I was still having proximity issues now and there (doesn't matter what rom, I've got this for a while), so I flash a miui from time to time(maybe for a driver proximity fix).
Yesterday I remove the password(temporary), booted TWRP, flash miui 9.4.18(latest dev) and because I was in road, I've tried to flash AOSiP(20190407) back which stuck on the AOSiP logo, then I remember I did have the previous version 20190328? if I remember well, BIGGGGG mistake trying to flash that, phone can't boot and goes to TWRP recovery which is fine but when I see the data, well encrypted(scrambled that is) - doesn't asks for password of course
Tried to place a file via MTP(e.g. LineageOS latest or MIUI) without success ..tries to copy it but doesn't really do anything, my thought is to:
Buy a USB Type-C OTG cable or adapter and try to flash LineageOS or MIUI through that, if data are still encrypted then I'd try to put the very same password I had and maybe be lucky?
Any other thoughts? (of course deleting data would solve this but my latest backup is 1-2 months back which will make me very sad to lose 1-2 months of pictures, videos etc)
P.S. I've made a custom microusb OTG cable but using a usb type-c adapter doesn't make it work so I guess it's a pin-issue ..OTG microusb can't work with usb type-c that way, that's why I'm thinking of a usb type-c otg cable/adapter. I have a few microusb jacks laying around, that's why I tried that
Try to boot with latest twrp and see if it unscrabled partition...
AOSP roms do not boot with the latest vendor and firmware. If you flash an older version in twrp you should be good to go.

I've got the latest TWRP for a while now
hmmm 3.3.0.0 is release but since I can't move the recovery in order to flash it I should do it via fastboot
EDIT: Can't do it via fastboot, doesn't work. I tried I see the device when I run the command well it does nothing hmmm I guess my only hope is with the solution I mention and MAYBE I'd be lucky
EDIT2: Tried again and again now it says "press any key to shutdown" when I issue the command ..maybe USB debugging issue? not sure, well if I can flash miui or something similar via OTG(I'll have the cable/adapter in a couple of days, no phone until then hhahahaha), if I keep trying it's either the first(doing nothing) or the second "change display black display with tiny letters on top left corner saying "press any key to shutdown" - oh well sht happen

The part where I can't access data or write data in the internal memory is an issue so I can't do any "flash" ...I can try with OTG adapter/cable when I get my hands on it
Wish it will work as I'm out of options
I also got the tiny letters in fastboot mode. It turned out that fastboot commands only worked for one of the three usb ports of my laptop. I guess usb 3.0 didn't work.

Well different pc, original cable I flashboot recovery, now on 3.3.0.0 ...still data scrambled
Yeah, new recovery ...pretty same result
I guess I'll have to way an try the "OTG" method I was thinking about
P.S. Trying to move miui in internal storage still does nothing, well I tried. Now I only hope OTG would save me
Not sure if I could fastboot miui without losing data, it's been a while since I use fastboot
I tried with USB OTG adaptor, no luck. It doesn't work(can't see any usb stick) ..FML

Bootloader unlocked,. but in a boot loop with CWM Recovery. Battery too low to flash new recovery in via fastboot.
I assume those are GSM carriers? Might work, see below.
There is no developer edition of this device. They all have unlockable bootloaders - but you're not looking for that. You mean carrier unlocked... which the SIM in the Q is fixed, not 'user-accessible'....
There are folks in Europe who have hacked the device to put their own SIM in.

Good luck.
Hi thanks for the reply, yes I was hoping to use it on GSM (Fido), but wouldn't mind CDMA/LTE/etc so long as it works.
got the bootloader unlocked using motopocalypse.
Oops. Tried flashing CM10.1.3 and on reboot it hung at the CM logo. Also have CM11's zip on the sdcard, but it fails installing (error 7). Can't seem to push any files onto it using adb.
edit: now its mostly staying with the screen off and the green light..sometimes I get the "warning:bootloader unlocked" screen.
edit: i let it sit for a while and it wound up in CWM. still cant see it with adb though.

Flash an updated version of recovery in fastboot mode (TWRP 2.6.3.1: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/asanti/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-asanti_c.img ), go to recovery and flash your CM11 zip.

This happens when you use a faulty cable/charger. Try a Motorola cable and charger if you have. If you do, try a different cable.
I've had this problem several times. Always with a defective/non-Motorola-compliant cable and/or charger.
The Micro USB cable that came with my Powerbank does this and a 5V USB charger that came with a no-name camera. But also a Philips 2.1A USB charger.
So again, try a different, preferably original, charger and/or cable and hopefully you will be fine.

You're right! Thanks for your time. I was using one that I had for my HTC G2, and the one that came with it (eBay) I assumed was Motorola's but taking a closer look it does look generic. Tried a blackberry 1.8A(highest) charger to bring the battery to full charge and successfully got into fastboot to flash twrp and then cm11.
Just got me new-to-me TF700 this afternoon. Trying to root it.
Unlocking was easy (all manufacturers should do it this way).
Now trying to root.
I've downloaded (and copied to /sdcard0) CWM touch for KK (recovery-kk-touch-6046.img)
Press [pwr] +[vol-down] gets me to what appears to be a fastboot screen. I have 3 options "RCK", "Android", and "Wipe data".
None of these lets me run recovery on the CWM image.
I'd just go into ADB and run from there, but the tablet came without the stock USB cable (the one that plugs in the keyboard port).
Is there another way to do this - of am I doing the wrong thing anyway?
Not a major deal if I need to order a cable and wait.
Thanks!
PS: tablet is on stock 4.2.1. There are a lot of instructions that say, basically, select 'USB' from the fastboot screen. That's not appearing.

Without that cable, how do you connect it to the charger?

There are also instructions updated for the current bootloader that tell you that fastboot is already active in the bootloader menu.

Also. What the heck is the port next to the headphone jack that looks mike a micro USB, but isn't?

Micro HDMI.
You could try if the recently released towelroot works for you until you get your cable.
It came with an aftermarket charger; charger and cable are a single piece. I'm not sure the separate chargers are available at all now.
I saw those instructions - and it looked like I was in fastboot. What I mostly wanted to do was install the CWM image. I think there's a way to do that as recovery, as well, but the img has to get packaged in a zip file with instructions and then named whatever recovery is looking for. Not something I'm going to be able to whack together.
Yeah, realized it was micro HDMI just as soon as I started looking at "tf700 cable". Duh! Removed it from my OP, didn't realize someone had already looked at it and was looking to save someone (you?) some typing. Didn't work.
Time to get a cable.
Found one of the OEM chargers. $55 + shipping. Not planning to buy.

If Towelroot works (it probably will since it does work on the TF701) and you get root, you can use the dd command in terminal to flash the custom recovery. But better do some reading on that! One little typo and you could have yourself a brick.
You cannot flash a custom recovery using the stock recovery however - or did I misunderstand?
You can get by without a USB cable if you can get it rooted, but what if something goes wrong? What if you cannot enter recovery and only fastboot is available?
I would not flash custom software without a working ADB and fastboot connection! And for those you need the USB cable. Get it - you'll regret it if you don't.

Oh, I got one. Just was itchin' to get a new ROM. Hoping KK's a bit speedier (it had ought to be) - and it's desperately slow now.
Towelroot, indeed, worked fine. Mixed feelings on that one. It working means basically any app that gets installed can get root. But I'm happy I got root to play with in the couple of days it took Newegg to get a cable to me

Good choice getting the cable.
Install SuperSU from the Play Store. That will allow you to control which apps get root.

Did that immediately. Paid for pro ages ago
Now trying to get fastboot via USB.
power off (or reset)
power & [vol dn]
stock JB so it goes right into fastboot (3 selectable icons, no "USB" icon)
connect USB
on win pc cmd line go to adb/fastboot directory
"fastboot devices" gets me... nothing.
Not sure how to get CWM installed without fastboot (?)
Trying to figure out if I maybe have bad win drivers. adb works (e.g. "adb shell" works fine) - not when in fastboot mode, of course.
Any ideas? Pointers to the right drivers (win 64)?
Thanks!

Windows is infamous for driver problems.....
Connect the tab in fastboot and open device manager. Near the top you should have an entry for Android device, bootloader mode or something similar, and probably a yellow ! next to it.
Right click it and choose "update driver", let Windows search for it.
If you're lucky it'll install the driver by itself.
If not: What Windows version are you running?

Win 7 Pro / 64.
If you don't mind, I'm going to re-ask this in the general forum - if it's like other forums, when the question changes tack, often people who might know the exact answer never read it because the title was about the original question.
I put it here
BTW, Got CROMBi-KK on there without fastboot (so without a USB cable ) as follows
towelroot - got root
installed supersu, loaded binaries, uninstalled towelroot
goo.im - open bootloader - installed TWRP
installed CROMBi-KK by copying zip to sdcard0, then install from TWRP.
Even without booting / using a fast external SD card, it's perceptibly faster than the stock JB ROM. I did kind'a like the way the stock JB screen was laid out to make it easy to use while attached to a keyboard (controls at L & R bottom corners where you can easily poke 'em with a thumb.) Ah, well.
Ah yes - forgot about Goo. For quite a while it didn't support flashing TWRP anymore, but it's back.
There's also TWRP Manager (which I haven't tried yet) and Flashify which I really like.
It does make flashing a recovery easier, but.....
Call me old-fashioned, but all of those require Android to run. What if you're stuck in a bootloop and need to flash a recovery, clear partitions in fastboot etc? To get drivers working when the tablet is already compromised can be a challenge - to say the least.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see more and more users here who went your route, never got ADB and fastboot going and find themselves stuck when Android does not boot....
That said, I'm glad you can experience KK goodness now and I'll head over to your new thread - maybe I have another idea
Hy friends,
I have problems.
So I have a nexus 5, and I flashed several times, to test cyanogenmod, to test the preview of Android M, to install kernel... Maybe more that 12 times.
And it's happen. My phone now won't turn on. When I charge it the red led twinkle several times and after nothing. I can go to the bootloader but when I want flash something nothing happen. On the cmd console it seems like the installation works well but in fact it's useless. Yesterday I tried and suceeded to install TWRP ! Furthermore my Nexus 5 can't turn on alone, when I flash the bootloader must turn off then turn on, my phone no, I had to press Volum Down + Power button.
So yes, now I have TWRP on my phone and the application shows me that my intern storage of my phone is empty, like completly empty.
So maybe I have the solution, I want a backup which is compatible with TWRP to install it on my phone !
Do you have other ideas or maybe my idea is a ****ing bull**** and my Nexus 5 is definetly dead :crying:
Thanks a lot !

1) Adb a twrp flashable rom to your internal.
2) Use OTG and usb stick
If the led flashes red when off and connected to a charger, the battery is cmpletely discharged. Leave it connected to the original charger and USB cable for a few hours.

You can adb push the zip (rom) to the phone and try fastboot boot (twrp.img) then use twrp to flash the rom on the phone.
If this does not work it seems you motherboard is fried.
If you have twrp and the otg cable, then put the rom on your usb stick and connect in twrp. Try flashing off the drive.
Again, I am getting the feeling this is hardware. Your memory or battery seem to be failing. It has nothing to do with prior flashing. My N5 has gone through way more than yours, and I am sure others have done more than me. We still have working phones.
Also consider the power button issue.
Try the steps though.

TWRP thread in original development.
Hi forum,
Basically a couple of days ago my S6 stopped fast charging and was charging at a very slow pace (~5% idle/hour) and have tried pretty much all the things on the internet (safe mode, checking for lint, toggle in settings, etc.) before as a last resort doing a factory reset. It also decided that it would not be picked up by the PC properly and showed as a malfunctioning device by device manager which I overlooked a little bit, as I assumed it was a software problem.
Anyways, after doing a factory reset through TWRP my phone can no longer boot to the operating system and now instead boots to TWRP. I have read online that I'd be able to flash firmware/files through Odin to fix the problem, however my phone does not get picked up by the PC so that's not an option for now, I've tried going into download mode also which it allowed me but it's still not recognised and I cannot boot to safe mode. Is there anything else I can try? I have tried restoring my boot and system partitions but still the same problem. The only thing I can think of is to try and find some more lint in the charger port to try and fix the USB if its a hardware problem still, as the S6 doesn't have removable storage so I can't bring any files over.
It will be fun seeing the expressions on the Samsung guys' faces when I walk in with a TWRP boot loop asking for a USB repair on warranty
Hope someone can help
I had issues charging too and it turned out to be my USB cable. Have u tried other cables?

Yes I've tried about four cables and two fast charge bricks however that is no longer the primary problem, from what I can see I need to figure out how to get the charger port working so I can flash or find something within TWRP to fix the boot.
Thanks though :highfive:
If we focus on just getting un boot looped I have a backup of my system and boot partitions from about a month ago and I tried restoring these to the device to help boot up, as far as I'm aware deleting the other partitions wouldn't help? Does anyone know which partitions are required for the system to run? And I'm going to try and see if there is an incompatibility with the drivers on windows otherwise I suspect a hardware issue. Looked online and the average cost for the usb port to be replaced is ~£150, which I may have to do as I'm rooted and therefore out of warranty. Would be great if TWRP could transmit files over wifi or had its own file downloader but I guess not everyone is on a bootlooped s6 with no SD card slot for transferring files and with USB problems :cyclops:
Any more ideas? Am I bricked indefinitely until the USB port is fixed??
Hi,
my PH-1 has a waterdamaged display, so i bought a Inspira Hdmi Adapter to rescue my Data.
Unfortunatly i´ve installed the 8.0 Beta and the Hdmi adapter only works on 7.1.1 or 8.1.
Any suggestions to up- or downgrade my system without Display?
Rough.. I would assume the only way, would be to update it to the beta 8.1 using the back to stock zip Blek has graciously posted in the development and ROM section for our PH-1.
If you can get the device in BL mode, and flash that, perhaps you can leech the data after it boots up, mind you that's gonna be a bit hard without a display, especially since at default the device uses USB charging instead of MTP..

couldn't you just flash twrp via fastboot
and go into recovery that way, and twrp is automatically set to connect mtp..
although might be an issue if you're not oem unlocked.
