Factory reset - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

One quick question: if I do factory-reset on my Prime, will it go back to Honeycomb or will it keep ICS?

Be aware that the content of /sdcard will get deleted too when you do a factory reset. You should make a backup of it before you do the reset.

[Q] Is it safe to Hard Reset webOS and still keep CM7?

Did a quick search and didn't find an exact answer specific to what i'm looking to do. I'm looking at possibly getting rid of my touchpad (still debating) but if I go into webOS and hit full erase, will i lose anything like moboot or partitions or anything?
don't wanna bork my ish
Yes. You can do that. I did that once. I did a FULL ERASE. Doesn't mess up CM7. You can even do OTA updates without disturbing anything.

Careful, updates do make you have to reinstall moboot, but not CM itself.

Thanks guys. So what im getting is updates will need a little fine tuning but a hard reset of webos is a good-to-go...
Much thx

there is new update coming for webOS....for twitter integration and other performance tweaking....So i think we need to go back to just webOS and then install update right?

I"d broke up my GPS. I was playing with gpsconfig.xml and gpsconfig and now I can't use my gps. GPS status icon is not blinking while searching for fix, it's empty. Can u help?

In other words , it's working the same as before you started messing around with GPS configs ! Don't fret, your only suppose to have broken GPS in the first place !
Before that it worked fine. Not perfect but I could see 10 sats

Why were you playing with these if your GPS was ok?

You replace the modded files with the original backup files you made If you didnt do that - i guess factory reset.

You dont need a factory reset. If you know how to use adb just push the file located within the zip to you're tablet and reboot.
I was playing with that because everthing was ok on HC, after upgradeing to ICS ver. 11 It was a bit crappy but still could get fix. After .14 I saw only 2-3 sats with no fix at all. That's why I've started to play with it....

Or, don't even need to use cumbersome ADB, just download files to tablet, copy the files over and set permissions with something like Root Explorer.
It works !! Thanks !!

I know GPS works. But it works as 3.2 and .11 or worse as .14?
If it is working well again, can you please share the files make it is working?
I have the similar issue as you had, worked good on .11 and no GPS at all on .14.
Thanks.
I have the same problem...worked until i upgraded to .14. Now nothing...

It works not as good as it did on 3.2, but I could navigate on a motoroway. I hasn't tested it completly yet.

F**K! I deleted build.prop... and rebooted

Well, title says it all.. I was messing around with build.prop thought I had successfully pushed new build.prop to my prime and well yeah its not booting..
I am currently rooted
Is their anything I can do to get my prime back working?
I can access adb but if I try and get root with "su" I get "segmentation fault", all I need to do is rename "/system/build.prop2" to "/system/build.prop" but I can't get permissions!! GRR
I have also copied the build.prop file to the internal sd card and tried to copy it to system but still need to have root permissions!
Please, any ideas?

I can't get root in adb, to then mount the system writeable as I get a error "Segmentation fault", but I can access adb

what causes the seg fault? when you try and 'su'?
At the very worst, you should be able to put the official firmware on your SD card and then boot into stock recovery.. but if you can get into stock recovery, see if you can just do a wipe/restore.

This firmware couldn't brick my prime could it?
And no, I can't get into recovery, I get an android with a big red explanation mark
Why do people keep messing with build.prop? Most do it just to play some games. It always lead to issues such as this.
Good luck getting it up and running. Check out the system dump thread in developement and see if you can adb the file into your prime.
Try this
No adb required

Thanks for the patronising comment, and obviously I have already tried copying build.prop back to the prime but I can't get root permissions.

Thats weird. Recovery was part of boot loader and build.prop part of rom. It shouldnt have affected recovery. Unless i guess you unlocked the bootloader too.

Sure. This.
QUOTE=Gage_Hero;23590618]My wifi works pretty good after some build.prop tweaks, i would suggest that before modding the tf201. Basically, i added net.tcp.buffersize.wifi with some values and net.tcp.buffersize.umts with the same values 4096 ,87380, 256960, 4096, 16384, 256960
Of course you need to be rooted
Edit: download buildprop editor from the market and copy and paste these values. Seems to work a bit better for me atleast.

OP, have you tried wipe data from recovery? Just to make sure, to get into stock recovery, hold -vol and power buttons together, then + vol within 5sec, then -vol to choose option and + vol to confirm?

Yeah I had already tried that, instead of working... I lost adb access.
I am going to have to try and return it
Oh that sucks :/ i feel for you man! Hope everything gets sorted out^^
We should make a big warning thread sticky or something with infos about what can happen when you mess around with build.prop. This is about the third brick i see happening because of editing the build.prop.

Would it be possible just to get you to copy and paste the two lines you added. I would like to add them into mine, and give it a shot. I'm not sure of the actual syntax though. Thank you!
Just download TCP Buffer from the market.

Well what I did sticks on reboot, while that app does not. Like I said I used build prop editor and found those two lines and copied and pasted them.

Asus Transformer prime TF201 - rebooting after every 30 mins on JB update

My Asus Transformer prime TF201 is rebooting after every 30 mins on JB update. I am sick of it. !!!
Any way to roll back to ICS ? or solution on this?
I've heard that if you do a factory reset it should help that. Sucks but it might be one way. As fas as I know u need unlocked boot loader and the right files to be able to go back k to ICS. I'm on JB and rolling smooth.

My TF201 has also been rebooting regularly since I upgraded to Jelly Bean. It usually happens when no other activity is taking place. I have seen other posts that say that the hard reset does not fix the problem. Has anyone gotten through to ASUS? I have called and emailed them to no avail so far.
I also have had this problem after upgrading. Not found a solution to it.

take the card out of your dock

Prompting to downgrade AFTER JB update?

So, stock, unlocked, rooted, well partial root after update but that's a different problem. After the recent JB update it is prompting me to install a system update to "US_epad-user-9.4.2.28 dated 6/13/12 10:03:02". This is persistent in the status bar after every boot, and pops up constantly. Same thing on my wife's tablet. Am I correct in assuming I do not want to apply this? How the hell do I make it go away?
Thanks in advance.

are you sure you don't have that file on the SD card inserted ?
Damn! That was it. I had forgot the last update failed on our tablets and I had to manually download and install. So simple I completely overlooked it. Many thanks!
