Hello Everyone, this is one of my first posts so go easy on me.
I used the method in this thread to flash JB onto my TF201, and now i cannot boot to recovery (get the android on his back/side with the red exclamation) and fastboot shows up as a device in device manager in windows, but when i run the "fastboot devices" command with the up to date SDK nothing is listed. ADB works, but for osme reason superuser was installed as a system process and will not uninstall, and will not issue any sort of root command to anything, including ADB. any ideas?
hi
i have a issue similar to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1465, but just want to confirm
i have a CWM and CM10.1 installed previously but no nvflash,
but during a recently flash i accidently formatted the "system" partition.
I now can no longer boot past the asus logo unfortunately,
and tried the following
1) i can boot into CWM but it only allow flashing from /mnt/sdcard and i dont have any rom in /mnt/sdcard (wiped)
2) i can boot into fastboot (PWR+DWN) and i installed the naked driver v0.72 and it show in device manager -- however "fastboot.exe devices" show nothing
3) if i normal boot (ie stuck on "Eee Pad logo) and install some form of "ADB interface" driver, then i can "adb.exe devices" into it -- but i can push anything onto /mnt/sdard (permission denied)
4) "adb shell" wont work bc of missing "system/bin/sh" hence i cant re-root
5) i can go into APX mode (PWR+UP), but it is not nvflashed sadly
6) i have tried 2 usb cables already, so hopefully not it
Is there anything i can do ... or it is bricked and have to send back to asus for service ?
thanks in advance !

First of all try adb push Name_of_Rom.zip /sdcard/
If that does not work try adb push Name_of_Rom.zip /system/media/
If that still does not work then download the correct TWRP blob file from the following link for your bootloader. http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/93
The fact that you are on CWM and was using CM 10 makes me believe that you are still on the ICS bootloader but to make 100 percent sure when you first power on the device look at where the "NVIDIA" logo is. If it is bottom center it is ICS, if it is bottom right it is Jellybean. (MAKE SURE YOU GET THE CORRECT TWRP VERSION FOR YOUR BOOTLOADER)
Now rename the blob file you downloaded to twrp.blob. Go into fastboot and type the following.
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob
This should install TWRP which will allow you to install a rom off an external micro sd.
turn out it is windows problem -- fastboot device driver (Naked 7.1) is installed but wont connect to the tablet. I ended up installing Ubuntu in order to get fastboot to work.
Once fastboot is working, i able to follow above advice and get my tablet back to functional state.... thanks!
ps: now time for nvflash :laugh:

What exactly did you do? I'm trying to extinguish all avenues before I have to RMA my tablet. Thanks for the help!
I did the most stupidest thing and tried to place a boot animation zip from the nexus 4 onto my phone. I renamed it ATT_Bootanimation.zip (like the normal bootanimation) and placed it in system/customize/resource. Now the phone wont boot. I tried going to TWRP's file manager, deleting the new zip and copying the old zip back but it still doesn't work. Can anyone help me please?
Edit: It also appears that TWRP can't mount sd card onto my computer so I can't place the ROM file onto my phone to flash. Can someone confirm this or teach me another way to fix this?

Reflash rom without wipe using adb sideload command. Vitrual sdcard on this phone can't be mounted in recovery yet, so you have chose ADB Sideload in TWRP and use the command
Code:
adb sideload name_of_your_rom_file.zip
May take some minutes for your computer to recognize your phone in adb sideload state, so be patient.

Thank you for helping me! So I only have the rom.zip on my computer and not on my phone, will the cmd command still work? since the command prompt does not seem to use file location.
Edit: I started ADB Sideload on my phone and it's stuck at 'starting ADB slideload feature..." for about 30 minutes

you have to put the rom.zip file into your adb folder.

I am actually trying that right now. My phone's adb sideload is still in the "starting adb feature.." so it isn't working.
Also when I press the ADB slideload on the toolkit, the command prompt opens and says
Code:
'C:\Documents' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
How do you place the rom.zip into the adb folder?
I'm still stuck, do you think flashing a kernel will help?

you have to place the toolkit into some path without spaces, or it won't work. best is to copy the toolkit folder to the root of any of your drives.

I placed the toolkit on the root of C:. Pressing the adb sideload on the toolkit launches the command prompt showing a bunch of adb shortcuts and help, but nothing happens on the phone (I attached a picture of the command prompt)

did you start adb sideload on your phone too in before? also was your phone recognized in adb sideload state by your computer?
i have to admit that i did not use the toolkit for adb sideload...
you can set up your adb/fastboot files on your computer using this:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213910
then copy your rom to this folder, rename it to something simple, for example "rom.zip".
connect your phone to your computer, start adb sideload in recovery.
open a command prompt (navigate to your adb/fastboot folder if necessary), type "adb devices". if your device is not listet there, wait a few minutes and type adb devies again, repeat this until you see your device has been recognized by your computer, it should then be listed as in sideload state under your latest "adb devices" command.
now you can type "adb sideload rom.zip" and you should get progress of sideload displayed in %.
when sideload is complete, your phone should automatically start installation of this rom. if it does not, the rom.zip is now saved on your phone's internal memory as "sideload.zip"
hope this helps!

After command prompt has successfully listed my device with its code, I typed in adb sideload (therom).zip and it says * cannot read 'sideload' * The tutorial that you posted doesnt have sideloading a rom
Edit: Okay, I installed SDK Manager did those things and this link really helped me on pushing files through adb. I will test to see if dirty flashing the rom will allow the phone to boot
Edit 2: Damn.. had to wipe everything and do a clean install. Never replace a bootanimation from another phone cause it ****s up your phone and time

Tried factory reset? That might solve the issue...
Or use adb sideload to copy the ROM?

Yep, I downloaded SDK manager and opened the folder in command prompt, that was the only way I could sideload any files into my phone. I sideloaded the rom, reset everything (including system) and fresh install of the rom. Idk what went wrong the only thing I changed was the boot animation zip, which is very peculiar
But I have to thank reaper90 for helping me tons though
ive stumpled on upon a quite annoying problem..i have an HTC ONE X+ which i unlocked my bootloader on and everything went smooth until i wanted to start recovery via hboot.
it did not start and i tried several times and restarted etcetc, i then tried to flash in another recovery and then tried more and more but nothing..
then i cant remember now exaclty how i did it, but i have several RUU, kernel, recovery, boot and roms n such items downloaded
so i tried to feed in another flash or rom or whatever its called to get the recovery funtion to work (i am not very pro at this) and then when i wanted to start my phone normally it all of a sudden wont boot properly.
it freezes on the bootscreen.. i can turn off and go in to bootloader but i cant do ANYTHING from there, i cant do a factory reset (wich i also tried when the recovery did not want to work) i cant do **** there. tried to lock and unlock bootloader.. feels like im out of options..
the only thing i can do now is command the phone via cmd and the toolkit i use from here "Hasoon2000s htc one x AIO kit"
using this guide on this thread mostly..
ive tried so many things now, searched this and other forums since friday and i still can not get anywhere... starting to think this is what the definition of a bricked unit is??
if you need any more info please just ask.. i bought the phone a week ago so kinda sucks if it would be useless for me right away haha..
i would appreciate som help and tips... please
Sincerely Jeff

After unlocking the bootloader....boot in hboot connect the phone in fastboot usb mode to the computer and then if u flash the recovery via cmd by typing "fastboot flash recovery TWRPrecovery.img" (the TWRPrecovery.img will be ur recovery file) u should get the message saying success.
Now u can disconnect the phone from the computer and use the volume down to choose the recovery and hit power button........
the TWRP logo is the one u ll be seeing.....that means all worked as it should......:good:
I dont knw whether u have tried the same but try this would work perfectly......

well i tried that before and it still didnt want to work, like it was priorotizing the first one i put in there or something.. but now i came to a wall... since i waited so long to find a sulution i had the device completely empty and just in bootloader.. it seems i dont have the driver or such for it to charge.. so i plugged it into the wall for a while whilst in fastboot thinking it was charging which it was not..
Now it is completely dead i cannot charge it and my computor cant detect it anymore.. seems i found the meaning of a bricked device
Hello Everyone,
I have a big problem i think. I have a HTC One, i have rooted it yesterday, rooting it didn't gave problems at all.
Then... i thought why not overclock it a little bit, so i downloaded ElementalX.
I had to configer and then it started installing. Whyle installing, without warning my device rebooted (shouldn't happened)
and since then i can't get beyond the htc startscreen, stuck there everytime.
I have no backup, so i need to reinstall jellybean 4.2.2 i think, but i can't connect it to my laptop, (windows 8) whyle in
fastboot mode. Can someone help me please??
Now i have deleted everything.
I have downloaded a new rom, MaximusHD 12.1.1, the only problem i have is getting it on my device.
I don't have a usb otg (on the go) cable, and adb and fastboot aren't work.
Does someone knows if there is a way to emulate usb-otg on your pc?
What i mean is that when i connect my phone to my pc my phone will see one directory like it is usb otg.
I hope this is possible. by the way, i have windows 8.
My pc can't find my device when i use adb or fastboot (adb in recovery)
i see fastboot usb where i should see that but it still doesn't works.
i hope someone can help me
facing the same thing on my end.....
Guys, I am stuck in similar situation with my HTC Desire X. Please help with proper solutions.
Hello,
I connected my htc one to another computer, windows xp, and now i have fastboot working and adb also i think
becouse i can reboot the phone through cmd command "adb reboot".
adb sideload issn't working, i get the message "Starting ADB sideload feature..." but nothing will happen.
I have all the needed files on C:\android (adb.exe fastboot.exe adbwinapi.dll and 2.zip"
2.zip is the Jellybean 4.3 zip (MaximusHD 12.1.1 i believe)
Now what do i need to do? How can i get the zip installed on my device?
I hope someone can help me,
greetings, Ricardo
i am on my laptop now, will " C:\Android\ adb push 2.zip /sdcard/ " be a good command?
2.zip is the jellybean rom.
CD to the location of 2.zip then run the command starting with adb push

I looked all over the internet for help with this phone. I rooted it for a friend and a week later, he said he restarted the phone and everything started force closing.
I troubleshot all day, and came to figure out that my only known to me as of now, is flashing CWM to it, via ADB. I am having several issues with setting up ADB, and getting the phone to communicate with my computer. Device manager DOES show that there is an ADB device installed correctly, so what would my next move be? I got the phone into FTM mode, (fastboot?) and I know that that is what I need to do to get ADB to communicate with my phone.
halp pls
Really no one can help???

Your answer is here: androidforums.com/flash-all-things-root/ Good luck!:good:
CWM Beta
From Android Forums ... Thanks to Junkie2100
this is an unfinished copy of cwm, tested to be almost completely functional
standard warnings apply, use at your own risk, you try to blame me for breaking your phone i will laugh at you
instructions:
fastboot method is possible, but i will go through the terminal/adb method
download the recovery file, and put it on the root of your sd. no folders, just directly on the sd
get your phone rooted and get a copy of terminal emulator or connect to it through adb on your computer, adb will require zte drivers and the adb program on the pc. the choice is yours
fire up adb by typing
Code (Text):
adb shell
in the command prompt, if its not working you dont have adb in the directory youre in, just copy adb.exe and the two .dll files to c:\windows\system32\ and itll work from anywhere, or learn how command prompt works
or fire up terminal emulator on the phone
on adb shell or terminal emulator type
Code (Text):
su
dd if=/sdcard/flash_cwm_test2.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
you will then need to run
Code (Text):
reboot recovery
and then hit reboot when cwm comes up, if it asks to disable recovery flashing press yes or it will put stock recovery back next time the rom boots
known bugs:
unmounting doesnt work
