[Q] TF700 Unlockign problem - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone! I recently got a TF700 with the hopes of unlocking and rooting it to get at all the custom ROM goodness. Sadly, I'm having a few problems. Before doing anything I successfully upgraded to JB 4.1.1, so I know that my updates were working. After playing around with it for a few days and doing my research, I was ready to proceed with unlocking using a YouTube guide. Before starting the process, I checked for new updates and got the "Internet connection error or the server is busy. Please wait a moment and try again" message.
Since I was already on the firmware I needed, I figured that maybe the servers actually were full and forgot about it. I proceeded to get the Asus Unlock tool onto my tablet via ADB Tool v7, but when I got past all the warnings, I ended up getting a similar message. I called Asus and they said that the servers were fine on their end, and that I should RMA the tablet to them. I'd rather not do that because I don't want to wait 3 weeks for them to fix this random issue, but I also really want to unlock my tablet .
Has anyone got any solutions or suggestions? I'm just confused because I know that my tablet could connect to the Asus servers since I had previously updated with no problems, and I haven't done anything but play around with apps from the app store since then...

[Help] Lost IMEI after update to , and downgrade

Well, received my Sony Xperia Z Ultra C6833 a couple of days ago.
Received a notice on the OTA, upgraded to 14.1.B.2.257
I encountered random restart issues whenever Wifi is activated, so I thought, fine.
I finally have access to my computer, installed the PC companion, it prompt me with a new 14.2.A.0.290 update.
Again, I updated my phone, hoping it'll fix the Wifi problem.
After restarting, I did a test, as usual. Wifi problem persists, and what's worse, a new problem. Wifi and Playstation 3 SixAxis controller connected using bluetooth didn't play nice, caused my phone to reboot.
I know a lot of people downgraded the firmware back to the previous version, with NAN backups etc.
And some even managed to restore their IMEI back to normal.
But for my case, I haven't root my phone, attempt to downgrade it using Flashtool, lost my IMEI.
Seems that I have no choice, but to return it back to 14.2.A.0.290 praying that it works, and I still can't see my IMEI.
No, I don't have a NAN backup. That's the part which gave me a headache. I've messed around with HTC one X (a year ago), never had this problem problem before, and it's something new I've learnt from you guys today.
Tried cyangenmod's boot.img, doesn't do me any good.
Anyone managed to recover their IMEI here?
Otherwise I might have to get it back to the dealer for a replacement.
Update: Thanks to krabappel2548's guide, I've managed to flash it to 14.2.A.0.290 again and got my IMEI back, but SixAxis still won't play nice with Wifi, and the problem with random reboots while Wifi is ON still persists.
we have the same issue, mine happened during the old update, after ota wifi gets stuck, wont turn on and reboots the device. upto now its still not fixed. 3 updates have passed and still the issue persist. hope you find a fix it will help me too. tried everything from downgrading, flashing custom rom,kernel, upgrade, unlock, relock but still cant fix it
I guess i'm not the only one then. I can live with the wifi issue for the time being as long as i stick to using data. But i fear it's going to affect tethering should i need that.

Read it the moment I discovered that my IMEI is missing.
I tried reflashing excluding the baseband, doesn't work for me, right after i realized i have a missing IMEI.
Read up on the android emulator, but haven't tried it, as my computer is kinda old, took forever to run it. Will try it once I get my hands on a faster computer
Bah. Crashed when I tried to use my qx100 which i've just received. Haha. Anyone else has any fun with qx100 and z ultra combo? The Z ultra almost reminds me of my ex-girlfriend.
Meanwhile, I can't wait for kit Kat, and hope they really squash these bugs
The best thing would be to contact Sony and make them aware of this bug. Losing your IMEI by simply updating should never happen and it's quite a serious bug.
Actually i lost it after downgrading. Downgrade is simply because of phone keeps rebooting after I turn Wifi on.

I certainly hope so too.
Hope it fixes the rebooting issue with WiFi enabled.
Or the Google Play Edition port if it does fix the problem too
Anyone tested the new update yet? Does it fix the wifi issues with crashing/rebooting?
ok so i purchased my phone on amazon and got it somewhere around feb 25th, i got a message on the phone to update software so naturally i did, then i discovered what rooting does and i decided to follow some youtube instructions to flash my phone to an earlier firmware the link wasnt working so i found another which was C6802_14.1.B.0.475_GENERIC Hong Kong.ftf after flashing this i lost my imei its all zeros and i then tried flashing C6802_14.1.B.1.526_M3dD0g.ftf with no luck so im trying to find out what the updated software was that i must have downloaded when i first got the phone given the date i had recieved it im thinking that the 14.2.A.1.142 is the correct one that i must have updated to, i was running version 4.3 jelly bean before all this happened i also have this problem where everytime i turn off the phone and turn it back on it is in the chinese writing again and asks me to select my language again anyone know what to do short of return the phone while i still got time my internet is extremely slow im tired of it taking 4 hours to load a new ftf just to find out its not the right one ive heard some where hving success with the 290 getting their imei back but im thinking thats the software they started with or updated to to get it back so i have no idea which one i started with or which one i updated to all i know is the date i got it and that possibly its the 14.2.A.1.142 looks really familiar im downloading that one now so we will see what happens and i also read something about flashing excluding the basebands so if that is part of it please make it as clear as possible im obviously a noob but im learning quick
Pleas dont ask the same question in multiple threads.
See my reply to the other thread you necromanced

[Q] Nabi 2 UK returned to Stock Issues

Hi All,
I've just joined the forum to make a post after the past couple of weeks of reading through the numerous posts for the Nabi 2. I'm really stuck and I've exhausted all my options and could really do with some advice as Nabi customer support is non existent!
When I bough the Nabi 2 a couple of years ago I decided to do the hack to get Google Play installed but after a while there were a few glitches and as Nabi had released OTA updates with Google Play included I decided to return my Nabi 2 to stock and try the OTA updates to bring it right up to date. And i've had nothing but problems since.
I've managed to install the 1.9.12 (Original UK Stock) downloaded from teh Nabi 2 page on this site and the plan was to apply the OTA updates however I have no wifi. I've installed the wifi fix which didn't help, I've looked at my wpa_supplicant.conf file which looks like this...
update_config=1
ctrl_interface=wlan0
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1
I've even deleted the file and let the system recreate it from scratch but WIFI still won't enable.
I've found no OTA (UK) updates that I can install manually so i donlt know where to go from here. Could anyone advise what I can try next as I feel like I really don't know what to try next.
Can I skip going right back to the first version and leapfrog to versions >2 by installing them via TWRP? Ideally I need to keep using the UK versions if that's possible.
Here's how it looks at present
Android Version 4.0.4
Product Version 1.9.12-release-keys
What I have noticed which I don't quite like is that under Wifi settings it states the MAC Address as Unavailable? IP Address Unavailable I can understand but should the MAC address not be Hard coded to the device? Unless it's the MAC Address of the Wireless Router it's connecting to maybe?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ryan

Galaxy Core Prime SM-G3606

Hi guys, i recently bought this phone as my iPhone is malfunctioning. I was pretty contented with the phone overall. However, one aspect of it really ticks me off which is the RAM. Apparently, there's a constant 100mb-0mb Ram available for usage. So i ended up going online and search on how to speed up the RAM. I found a link that says by having a Custom ROM downloaded, it would remove all the bloatware and such. After progressing with the patches and installations, i was quite happy with it! Until the part where i couldn't access the Google Maps,Google Play store and every single time an error will pop out saying 'Google play services has stopped working'. I had work today and i would definitely need to use my phone to get me around (Delivery rider) therefore, i decided to call my supervisor and told him i had some issues with my phone. Earlier this morning, i've tried rooting using Kingo Root/Root Genius but to no avail. Both stucked in the process of it. I've tried flashing some other Core Prime's model ROM hoping that it would work. But guess what, it didn't . Now i have my Core Prime stucked at Odin Mode saying 'could not do normal boot'.
Any fellow experts willing to help me on this?
P.S I got to know that my phone was from an import after trying the factory reset. It's from China Unicom.
Status Binary: Custom
System Status: Custom
Everytime i tried to software update, it say 'The phone has been modified bla bla bla'

Do you have Cricket carrier by chance? I'm trying to find a stock or mod ROM for my sm-g360az ( Cricket Galaxy core prime) and the closest thing in official updates I could find is the sm-g3606 CHU region.. So I know my phone was made in China but I'm curious if that stock would work.

Needing new firmware for Southern Telecom SmartTab Tablet...

Ive got an android tablet that is having trouble after rooting with kingroot.
Worked fine for a while after rooting, main reason I rooted was to remove the bloatware installed (full of disney apps etc)
After removing the apps, then i started having trouble after reboot, and the following message keeps appearing and wont go away.
"unfortunatley, the process com.android.systemui has stopped"
Hopefully im asking in the right area here, but im hoping i can find a decent firmware with the bloatware removed , and hope that flashing will fix this once and for all at the same time.
What complicates this is that this model is for the New Zealand market and i think they are renaming another model number for New Zealand.
If another firmware is available that i can flash onto this tablet, it would be great thanks
Specs:
Its produced by southernTelecom
Model: ST10NZ
Android 4.42
firmware 2.01
kernel version 3.4.67
build number
ST10_20141217
BN: (another build number) 01.04.006.074.07

Here is a link to the product.

Anyone able to help find a ROM?

If it's any help, I'm having the same problem, still unable to find a solution, mines the ST13, but have the same problem with "com.android.systemui" - Be keen if you find a solution, I'm happy to restore the original ROM (or custom) but unable to find either as yet.
Here's hoping...
net nanny

net nanny is hardcoded and dont remove netlauncher 3 . if you deleted it, it breaks the android.ui and there is no recovery image.
If anyone can come up with a ROM image, that would be great.
I also have been told here to try downloading net nanny off google play.
Apparently that works.

If a ROM could be found it would be great.
I got mine working again after reinstalling the netnanny app from the play store, fixed it. But it still does not run flash.
Net nanny
re downloading net nanny from the play store does work, at least to get it working again. I had a problem that after that message popped up a few times (com.android.systemui failed to load) or whatever, I couldnt click on anything. AFTER I factory reset the tablet, that problem stopped. The message kept popping up, but I was able to click "OK" and type a few letters on the setup page lol. I got into the play store, found net nanny, downloaded it, and SHAZAM! Its working again. i JUST WANT TO PLAY MY GAMES LOL. THANKS TO WHOEVER FOUND THIS OUT! I hope this helps the next person that un-installs net nanny lol. BTW, I contacted southern telecom and said I got a virus or whatever and requested a website to download the firmware, so if they give me that information, I will share it with you all
Any news on that link for the firmware
Playing with a ST13 now, the os disappeared and tablet is stuck at bootloader, unable to do anything at this point. Windows does not recognize tablet and now I am out of options.
Anyone have any ideas thoughts?

unrooted lenovo tab 2 10-70 - unable to update OS

The 5.0.1 Android unrooted tablet was sent to a service lab, where it came back from having its motherboard replaced, when for some reason its OS was downgraded to Android 4.4.4. Since then some apps do not work, such as TV apps (that worked fine before) - the tab cannot play movies and shows on those apps, although those apps are supposed to work on Android 4.3 and so on. Moreover, since then I cannot update my OS, tab saying that I have the latest version (which is obviously not true) and when going to the Tool Kit saying that "An error has encountered when installing the recommended incremental update pack". Factory Data Reset did not do anything. According to the Root Checker, the device was not rooted, although it seems to me that the lab has messed with my OS. What do you think? The lab says though that my OS is "beyond their control" and that they could not have touched it, just replaced the motherboard with an original one, suggesting me "just to wait" for the update to come out, which I am sure will never happen. Any suggestions how to solve this? Do you think that the lab has messed with my OS or what do you think happened here? Thanks a lot, guys!
Can anyone answer that?
Can anyone answer that please?
