I'm resorting to xda developers because no longer know what to do and the more I read less i know!
I have a Asus Tf201 JB. Sometimes ago the screen broke, i buy one on ebay but when i assembly the new screen i got the x-axis reversed, so i google and found the fix to x axis reversed here on forum.
First i unlock the device with asus tool, after i root and use some android software (i cant remmember the name) to flash the x axis reversed fix patch.
My bad, i do something wrong, now it stuck on asus/nvidia logo screen.
My pc only recognize APX mode if power+upvolume nothing more.
Please help me and tell me:
Are permanently dead, can i fix or its garbage?Can here any expert solve me this problem!?I pay if necessary.
If it dead can i swap the motherboard and get the problem solved!?
Sorry about my English
Thanks in advance
Best Regards
im sorry to ask this while I can't help you, but im trying to root my Tf201 and I can't seem to figure out how. How did you? I've got it unlocked using the Asus tool, like you, but every way I've found to root has not worked for me.
Thanks, and sorry I couldn't help your issue.

Hi, i use Motochop it works fine for me, dont forget run app as admin!

The information is out there, but not always easy to find. I haven't had to recover my Prime yet, but I've done the backups before flashing to Androwook, and have read up on how to recover should anything go wrong. here is what I've found as a good resource:
*Note: Being able to get into APX mode is a good start*
Go to this thread, "[GUIDE] nvFlash General Users Guide [Unbrick/Recover/Downgrade/Upgrade]- TF201"
The step-by-step guide is self explanatory. It goes over getting the NVIDIA Naked Drivers, NVFLASH and Wheelie. And the best part, there are links to the stock "un BLOB'D" files, which you will need for a recovery. This is basically the stock rom you can download from the ASUS site, and broke out into the separate recoveries for all the partitions.
and to answer your last question about what to do if you cannot unbrick... yes, you would need to replace the motherboard as the last resort.
Good luck!
edit: Found a really good thread (saved to my favorites) showing step-by-step process to unbrick:
Post 16 from "Need help with APX mode" thread

Please forgive me that im witing this in the DEVS section,
however please don't critic/blaming me or telling that it is impossible to be done.
I know that programming and/or pushing file via APX mode it's POSSIBLE! if NVFLASH can do this so there a way to get it done manualy.
and about the .blob files that NVFLASH[wheelie] needs is truley possible to get it by your self even in hardbrick.
all i want to know it's how?!
what exactly the goal/mean of wheelie? how can i unbrick my tf201 whithout NVFLASH? and if with NVFLASH how can i do it without wheelie?
and please don't tellme that it's impossible.please.

furthermore, in the samsung I9000 thereno way to hear something like "sorry you are unlucky, get a RMA num'" the devs of i9000 trying to help andmake new things and ways. why TF201 don't have something like a JIG[301K RES]? why don't we have TJAG or something?!?!?!?! i think we have to learn from them.

It doesn't belong in dev section. Telling people to not critique you for posting it in the wrong place does not make it any more dev related.
IF there is a way to do these things, I assure you, they would be out there. Wheelie obviously does some magic stuff to even be allowed to use nvflash, and I wouldn't expect anyone to ever find a way no involving generating device specific blobs as we do.
JIG is device-specific. Samsung explicitly created it for recovery purposes - there's no reason to think asus would include something similar.
JTAG is disabled on all production fuses Tegra devices, so there's really no way to get access to that (Even if you get access to the pins, it would just refuse access.)
all i want to know it's how?!

Seriously? You just want the holy grail handed to you and then you'd magically dev it?
I agree with what rayman says... rayman & the other folks at AndroidRoot have done us wonders with wheelie to enable nvFlash for our devices...
The truth of the matter is... you need to start by getting you basics right...nvFlash is the low-level utility for nVidia based devices & chipsets... I've used a Tegra 2 device before (GTablet) which was pretty much open and nvFlash worked out of the box... Here, however, Asus locked down things with very few ways to circumvent things...
With the information & knowledge available, wheelie is the only way to get nvFlash working.... why don't you read this amazing article written by the AndroidRoot team and understand the technicals of the situation.... http://androidroot.mobi/technical/tf-secure-boot-key/

So it is impossible to unbrick Primes? Or anyone is working on it? Do You know?=)
I have searched around regarding this.
It seems that there is a SBK calculator made for the Acer A500 device.
This was made to generate blobs that match your device's CPUID.
If we could get this working on the Prime, it might perhaps unbrick it. (?)

Sadly, that won't work.
SBK generation is vendor-specific - there's no standard.
The SBK calculator for Acer A500 is extremely specific to A500 and won't work on other devices. (Acer ****ed up and the algorithm they used essentially got leaked).
It's possible something similar exists for ASUS devices, but it's pretty unlikely we'll get our hands on such a thing.

Not if you have nvFlash enabled before you brick your device or upgrade to JB... if you have done [http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/], you should be able to recover from almost any brick...

Hello,
Just purchased this phone and would like a root in order to expand its storage. It's a new offering from TracFone and is limited for on-phone storage. Other than that, it's a fairly decent phone considering it is a TF. I searched the forums and found other similar phones, but none matched this one. If someone would be willing to help, you would get a lot of thanks from TF users who bought this phone.

open kingo android and start
If you dont have a pc and you have recovery mode in your device follow these:
search this: root (your device name) .zip file
and if you are successful put that zip file on root folder(the folder you see when you open your built-in file manager)
switch your phone to recovery mode
volume up, volume down, and menu button are the controls
navigate it to "apply update"
then choose your the zip file
If you dont have a pc and dont have a recovery mode follow these:

Thank you for your suggestions. I have tried several of the one-click methods for root (Kingo, Genius, towelroot, framaroot, etc.). All of which have been unsuccessful. Obviously, there is no rom available for this phone. If anyone has any other info, I would really appreciate it.

I got the same phone same problem while i didnt find a root for it i found out how to install to sd very useful
go to google and type in how to install apps to sd card no root then click on the link for instructables i cannot post link because im a new user worked for me
would really appreciate a root method if anyone has one the storage issue is really annoying -_-
I realize this is an older thread, but I have devised a fully working root strategy for the Alcatel A564C. If anyone is interested let me know. If there is any interest I'll start a root thread for this device.

Hi MotoJunkie01. I saw your post today, and I just got an Alcatel A564C from TracFone. I would be very interested in rooting this device, since the accessible internal memory is so small it makes it almost unusable. Please open a root thread for this device if you feel there is enough interest. Or, if you would be willing, just send me a PM with the instructions. I have been able to gain temporary root permissions on this device using KingRoot, but they go away with every reboot. Also, I have not found any way to unlock the bootloader. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'll get a thread and a guide posted on rooting the A564C. I've had some PMs with interest as well. I'll post the link here once done.
MotoJunkie, fellow R.F. guy here, I have been browsing this site for well over a year and just signed up in fact this is my first post. I was following your information on the LG zone 3 as well. I own a brand new in the box A564C and just can't get it rooted. I too, tried different ways and actually was able to get temp root once with kingroot when the phone was really lagged out for some reason I had root until reboot. But now every version of kingroot that I run comes back with a network error which is strange and didn't used to happen. So please, let us know what you have found out. I am eager to hear back from you. And, thank you so very much for your willingness to share your knowledge.
Just checking back in, to see if any advancements or progress has been made. I'm excited about finally rooting this device and anxiously waiting.

I'm getting a thread started, as well as threads for other various devices. I know you're anxious, but please be mindful that XDA rules prohibit asking for ETAs and such. It's not that I particularly mind, I just don't want to see you sanctioned for rule violations by a moderator.
A couple of things, I I may....
First of all, aside from the rules (not that I'm saying that I don't respect them, I do but at the same time want you to know what I'm about to say is genuine and not out of fear of getting booted off the forum) I want to personally apologize if I came off as asking for an ETA or came off as rude or unappreciative in any way, shape or form. That was not my intent at all, and rather than PM you I wanted to publicly say that I am sorry for that and to let you know as I previously mentioned how much I enjoy reading your posts and am thankful for your willingness to share your knowledge. With that said I won't get off subject or topic again. I just felt that I needed you to know that I was just excited that someone had it figured out is all and I will pay closer attention on how I come across from now on. Take care.

You're are both respectful and courteous, qualities that are coveted and always welcome here at XDA. I didn't take any offense to your questions but I appreciate your kind words. On an update for this device, I'll be posting a root thread early this week coming -- Tuesday or Wednesday most likely. I have threads for this and at least 4 more devices I'll be posting.
Thanks again for your kind words. By the way I'll be posting the link to my thread here, so check early in the week.
I certainly will...thanks for your reply, and can't wait! I will keep checking back periodically. Thanks again!!
Update: I'm experiencing a boot loop on my own device from trying to flash custom recovery. Trying to get this snag worked out and get the tutorial posted. Sorry for delay.
Hey,..noooo problem on this end...again, just grateful you're both willing to work through the issues and obstacles as they come your way (and if it's anything like that happens to me they sometimes seem to come out of no where, just about when I think my task is complete) but also appreciative that you're willing to share. I would like to start a new thread, not to pile on your list of people bugging you about things already, but need to find the right section. It is more of an R.F. type related question with regards to the modems in the phones and weather the modulation techniques and bands capable are software driven like a software defined radio or more hardware dependent. I know as far as bands go the frequency coverage would have to depend on hardware all the way from the local oscillator to the RX strip to the TX PA as far as gain and linearity, duplexors of some type, antenna (s) being resonant at the middle of the desired band (s) but as far as modulation techniques being more software controlled somehow? Anyways, stuff that I am very interested in but haven't found a section??

MotoJunkie01 - I'm curious to know if this boot loop issue has resulted in you stopping work on rooting this device? Although I am still interested in obtaining root on this phone, I'm cool either way. I'm just posting to see if you think obtaining root and posting a tutorial is still in the cards?
Thanks again for your work on this. I really do appreciate it.
I'm sorry guys. Upon trying to flash the device with a stock fir!mware image to fix the boot loop, my device is now hard bricked. I can tell you, in order to root your device, use the latest KingRoot apk. This will give you temp root only, meaning root will not survive a reboot. So, to gain permanent root, install BusyBox (any version should suffice), then download SuperSU-Me Pro from the Play Store (paid app). This will eradicate the KingRoot root binaries from your device and replace them with the latest version of SuperSU. You will then have full root.

Hello.
I will thank you if this method would work on my phone, but I am unsure my root would be successful. I would appreciate the steps you took in order to root the A564C(such as time to root, USB debugging, etc.) and if you can post how your phone is doing since the root. I would be much thankful.
Guys, the phone went into brick mode simply while charging. Please help me with links or ideas on how to find / create a debricking .zip or folder to flash this Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 - 8930AB device.
Why would a service get use of my money when I know it is possible to reanimate this small evil by myself? People keep talking on russian forums about using tools like xPRG ... HEX/ MBN files... Miflash for Qualcomm... QPST software.. and stuff like this... but they are very general in explaning things... Help me!
Thanks!
Same problem here please help anyone

Necroposting at its finest, but i thought i would write here, so the thread creator might find something useful.
Here is my problem, samsung galaxy express 2 aka sm g3815, gone bricked while charging, i had custom recovery installed, although i do not seem to be able to remember the version, and root, flashed with Odin, everything worked perfectly for...almost a year, i guess. One day, my lil hero died. :crying: My computer seems to detect something plugged in, saying that it some QHUSB_DLOAD device. On some research I understood the Qualcomm reverted or switched to some sort of fail-safe state where it requires files to be written back in the device(correct me if im wrong). It`s been in deep coma for a few months now, everyone said "just buy a new phone and save yourself the hassle". Nope, my mind is set on repairing my hero. On other threads i found out it is possible to revive a phone in this state, using a class 10 or above microSD card and writing a debrick image. Problem was, i searched the seas of gold for the darn debrick image, none found. Until a few days ago, one of my workmates has a Galaxy Express 2, and said he can hand it to me so that i can copy what i need from it after the holidays. Both phones run on 4.4.2, his phone is all stock rom, no cwm or twrp, no root no nothing. It is coming in my hands in a few days. Does anyone have the patience to clearly write what must i do to get my hero working again? It`s been sucky here without it, currently stuck with a samsung Star 3 i reflashed myself, but that lil thing ain`t no Android. I have two class 10 microSD cards, one 8 Gb, one 16 Gb,with backup done, and i saw on other threads that i need to use the 8 gb one, since the phone`s internal was 8 gb. Anyway, sorry for the long novel, it`s my style tho, give as much info as you can so the people helping you know what they`re messing with haha feel free to ask for any extra information. If we ever meet, I`ll buy you a beer or two.....dozens
Cheers!
Here's the thing, I have a CCIT A799W tablet from a friend which need the firmware reinstalled. I downloaded it but I have no idea what software it's needed to flash it. I have my eyes burning with so many reading all over internet and got nothing. I haven't founded a sole place where someone can tell me what you use to flash it with.
I hate to write, so posting this is my last resort.
Can anyone tell me?
Thanks in advance.

I tried to comment on the topic itself, but it says that I am not allowed. I went to the part where it says flash bootroot.img, and then the device bricked. I was able to recover the system, and I would like to get root access.
Sorry, I forgot about the restrictions for new users. Ok, I suggest we try this a different way. But before we start, I need the answer to these 5 questions:
how did you unbrick your device?
what does Settings -> About -> Hardware Information -> CPU say?
what does Settings -> About -> Build Number say?
which operating system is running on your computer?
have you already got adb and fastboot installed on your computer (if you're not sure, it won't hurt to assume no )
(Note that I have some rooting and command line experience but haven't rooted an Asus Zenfone 3 ZS570KL myself yet and don't have one to try this out, so I can only help with generic steps.)
I got it! I studied with a little more calm and found some procedures on the topic that worked. Thank you very much!
Glad you found a way! Btw: If you want to thank someone, then pressing the small "Thanks" button underneath their post would also be nice, cos that goes into their profile so others can see at a glance that others have already considered their posts helpful. Enjoy root!
