X to S to lollipop - Asus Padfone X and S

Is there a complete and idiot proof way to make my X into a lollipop S on AT&T without losing 4g and still able to use the tablet docking?
Thanks in advance to the wizards!

If you are rooted and your bootloader is unlocked .
0. If not, Root it using kingroot or towelroot v2(not v4) and use flashily (from the playstore) to flash cwm or twrp to flash crowlock to unlock the boot loader. (careful to tap recovery and not boot)
1.Back up everything through custom recovery. (Latest Twrp or CWM would be fine)
Optional: If you dont want to lose any of your 4g lte connection use this recovery.(This one will be a black screen so leave it alone for 2 mins then wake it up then you are fine)
-- While at that recovery back up System, Boot and the EFS partition and cache(This recovery has the Efs option, and since the efs partition contains the communication info its best to do that so you cannot lose the bands.)
Great now you have just backed up every thing so now I will say for the next set of steps install Cyanogenmod, preferably 12.1 since cm13 is a bit unstable.
2. --For this to work with the conversion I suggest now you will need to install the latest version of twrp. (That could be found under this link)
*Make sure You put cm12.1 some where you can find when you are going to flash it*
3. Using the newest version of twrp available, flash cm12.1 on to your phone (Great Almost done) (your choice if you want gapps or not)
4. When its booting up and everything is set up put the latest WW firmware in a place you will remember when you flash it. (Also put in crowlock too, since flashing this fw will relock your Bootloader)
5. Once thats done Boot into Twrp and select advanced wipe. Under there Choose to wipe System, Data, and Cache.
6. Now its time to flash that WW firmware, which does take some time.
7. After that, flash crowlock again since your bootloader has been locked again. (Reflash Twrp.img too after that, using the img flashing option and make sure you flash the recovery and not boot)
8. Great Now you can boot and everything should be alright
Optional con't: If you are bothered by the lack of LTE connection at times, flash that other version of twrp I gave you earlier (only if you bothered to back it up before flashing the ww firmware.)
Then you can restore the EFS partition from there. (I didn't need to do that since I live near the city and even if I traveled away I still found my self LTE connection)
Then just reboot your phone and thats it
For future updates refresh your recovery to quarx's twrp, but keep the Adam's n5 recovery to future updates when you lose band 17 and connectivity options.

Flash ww firmware after cm12.1 through twrp and the dock should work again.
The Dock isn't supported on cm12.1 yet. (Stay tuned though it could happen in a couple of months)

The link is updated for the twrp recovery that supports efs backups.
If you dont know how to flash cm12.1 check this out He recommends cwm recovery
Afterwards after you successfully flash and booted cm12.1 up just flash to the newer version of twrp then install ww firmware.

Works like a charm. I still have to go back and restore the efs to get LTE back but its pretty fool proof. I did have to reflash CM12 after wiping the system partition and then flash the WW zip on top. It acted like it couldnt flash the OS to an empty system partition. But its running and rooted. Waiting on them to release MM for the Padphone S now lol.

Yes thats what it did with me but it ignored it anyway
to be exact it said "are you sure you want to leave recovery with an empty system partition" funny how I flashed it so I left and it booted it up pretty normally,
I always flash cyanogenmod with an empty system partition, too, eh
next time I booted recovery up after booting system (just to root it with supersu) recovery and left it, the message went away.

How Can I unlock bootloader ATT 11.10.8.16? is posible? help me pls

S-Off, and recovery boot looping - HELP?

OK, so I successfully S-Off'd this phone using DirtyRacun. I backed up the stock functioning ROM, then went to flash Viperlte 2.2.0. Went through all the Aroma installer options, then went to flash. It breezed through the install process, leaving the phone without any operating system on it (Recovery didn't actually flash anything). Tried both CWM and TWRP, and same results each time.
So, I decided to simply try flashing the boot.img in the downloads for Viperlte 2.2.0 via fastboot, and after doing that, the phone still won't boot, and now whenenver I try to reboot into recovery, recovery flashes for a second, and then screen goes blank and boot loops.
Tried reflashing the stock boot.img and reflashed recoveries, same results each time. I'm at a loss. I don't understand what got messed up by fastboot flashing the boot img.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

how did you install recovery, the first time you must use adb and flash the recovery.img.
command is: fastboot flash recovery(what ever here).img example: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.2.9-fireball.img
Ok, have the phone booting again (flashed ruu, then reflashed the dirtyracun hboot). Question still remains, why did I start bootlooping recovery after flashing the boot.img? And why wouldn't the Rom actually flash in recovery?
Again, any insight is appreciated.

Yeah, did that. I was in recovery (TWRP) when I tried flashing Viperlte, but it never flashed the Rom after selecting all the options in Aroma. It stated that it did, but there's no way it did. It took less than a second to go from "installing" to "complete".
So, something is funky there.

I was on the latest release of TWRP (2.4.4.0). I have a recovery log from when it wouldn't flash the ROM. I'll spare the unnecessary strings, and just post the error itself:
error: file_write: write: I/O error
Installer Error (Status 1)
Edit: Just to add, I just successfully flashed SuperSU on the stock ROM using the same TWRP version (2.4.4.0).

I appreciate the suggestions. I'll give a few things a try.
Looks like it was the recovery, afterall. Flashed 2.3.3.0, and the ROM is currently flashing as we speak.

Hmmm, what's going on here? Aldo101t, do aroma installers work for you on 2.4.4.0? I wonder if its a simple reboot after flashing recovery problem. I need a way to reproduce this.

well, i'm not sure. when i tried to flash viper 2.2 i had a problem, but i can't remember what i did now. i used the same recovery, got it installed, i think i restored a stock rom then reflashed viper and it worked, but i'm not sure.
it's been awhile since i've tried to flasn with aroma, so
i just tried flashing viper 2.2, DID NOT WORK, so i miss spoke.sorry
I have also had problems with aroma on several builds of twrp and several builds of cwm. I'm currently on cwm touch and if it fails to install (goes from 7% to done in a few seconds) just try it again till it flashes. Also seems to help me if zips are on the ext SD card. Not sure what's up with this but that's how I got it to work. Seems to be an aroma thing. Regular zips have no problems flashing.

[HOWTO][V500] Easily change between 4.2 and 4.4 Bootloaders

The LG G Pad 8.3 has a locked bootloader, and to bypass it we have two different tools: Open bump and Loki. Most custom roms now use Open bump (recommended), but some still use Loki. Jellybean and Kitkat bootloaders have different backlight settings, and kernels need to be adapted to match those backlight settings. So here I provide some flashable zips, so you can choose the bootloader that best suits your custom rom.
IMPORTANT: to install these files, reboot into recovery and flash the zip of your choice. After that, reboot into recovery again so the changes take effect. If you are stuck on Lollipop bootloader and have no access to recovery, check this post.
V50020F Bootloader is needed if the kernel in your custom rom/recovery is adapted to Kitkat bootloader backlight, like CyanogenMod 12.1 and TWRP official builds.
V50020F Bootloader: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24352994023707804
*** DEPRECATED (below) ***
V50010B Bootloader is needed if the kernel in your custom rom is adapted to Jellybean bootloader backlight, like those based on CyanogenMod old code.
V50010B Bootloader: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952613674
V50020D Bootloader Loki is needed if the kernel in your custom rom is adapted to Kitkat bootloader backlight, but it's packed with Loki. All the files are from V50020D, except aboot.img from V50010B. This should not be used anymore, every custom rom should use Open bump instead of Loki. If you are a developer and want to use Open bump instead of Loki, check this commit.
V50020D Bootloader Loki: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952613676
* If you are a developer and want to use Kitkat bootloader backlight settings (instead of Jellybean), check this commit.
Wow I may not have my Gpad yet but I think its getting easier now because of this base flashable zip. Thanks
This will automatically replace old version of TWRP if flash for the first time like this one?

How can we exactly use this?
Just want to make sure nothings bad gonna happen
Im currently on LRS Kitkat and old TWRP. If I want to replace it with CM 4.4.2 ROM. I have to wipe the system then use 4.2.2 base then the full CM ROM?
Just found out that even the new TWRP 2.7.0.1 is still not compatible LRS ROM
Its possible to replace recovery.img with old TWRP or perhaps Philz CWM?
Yeah, I'm a little lost too on how to proceed. If you can post some detailed instructions, it'd be much appreciated

It's pretty simple, If your on a 4.4 stock (not aosp) and want to flash an aosp 4.4 rom (which uses 4.2 bootstack) flash the 4.2 zip then reboot into recovery from recovery (important) and then flash your rom normally. If your on 4.2 stock or aosp and want to flash a 4.4 stock rom, flash the 4.4 zip then do the same by rebooting into recovery from recovery and flash away. Its important to reboot into recovery from recovery after flashing these because if you boot your current rom, the kernel and other boot partitions won't match - bad things will happen.

Boot into recovery, flash the chosen base zip, then press the reboot button and then recovery, this way it reboots into recovery again and the changes are applied. Then you flash the rom you want.

It depends on what rom you want to have. If you want stock 4.4.2, flash any of the zips found in the forum (like the flashable V50020B), it will also change the base. If you want CM11 or any other AOSP based rom, flash the 4.2.2-base.zip, reboot into recovery again and then flash the zip of the rom.

I don't understand how you got into that situation, I tested the zips a lot before publishing them. Anyway, if I were you I would install the KDZ file to get back to stock. There are some threads in the forum explaining how to do that.

I was already in trouble before, I was rooted on 4.2.2 and did a factory reset before updating to Stock 4.4.2. I got stuck in twrp home screen and no matter what I tried to wipe or flash it went back to twrp home. So I tried to flash your 4.4.2 zip and now it's all boot loop happy lol

Use mobile tool and do it again. Be sure your using the regular mobile tool, not the modified one for the kdz method. Get in dl mode, choose upgrade recovery option + manually enter your model # and serial #. Give it a good 5+ min to determine if it's actually hanging. If it does, unplug it and plug it back in and it'll continue. I did that once and it worked fine.

I still don't get it. If I am on Pacman that says 4.4.2, what do I flash? How do I know if a certain rom is AOSP based, and what bootstack when it says 4.4.2? And if I'm already on PacMan 442, and want to get rid of the dim light issue, do I flash the appropriate zip, then reflash the rom? Or do I need to downgrade to stock 4.2.2 then flash 422 zip, then flash the custom rom again???

Thank you for the prompt reply and help. Lest I belabor the point, I understand what you're saying from the beginning, but what confused me was the mention by another member that the 4.4.2 customs roms used 4.2 "bootstack" (whatever that means). So the question again is: if a custom rom says 4.4.2, is it really 4.4.2 or 4.2 boot stack (whatever that is)? And in which case, which zip do I use?? I can do it by trial and error, but need to be assured that shooting from the hip won't mess my tab unnecessarily. Again thanks for the help.

[Q] Bricked with no ROM

So after trying to completely wipe my GS3 and put it back to Stock before selling it, I think ive somehow managed to delete my current ROM and now cant boot.
It can enter recovery mode (CWM) and enter download mode and flash other recoveries throw Odin But I cant load a ROM back on.
I can't access the SD card and can't mount: /System, /preload, /external_sd, /sdcard
I tried sideloading throw ADB but it cant detect the device and Kies did recognize it when I tried a "firmware upgrade and initialization" but refused to work because of its 'current version' (or something like that)
Are there any recoveries that could help? can you flash a ROM directly throw Odin? (i cant seem to find any that work), how do I fix the storage mounting / folder tree?
i9305, CWM recovery v6.0.2.9 and was running CM 11, dont have any usable backups.
Thanks:good:
Go to sammobile and download the stock rom to your phone. If you want to put your phone totaly stock flash the stock recovery too

Why? Odin files overwrite it so whatever you flash before flashing stock rom with odin gets wiped...Also I mentioned it so that the op would not get confused not to have a go at you .
Ok dude

E1003 Wont Flash MM Roms!

Not sure if I'm the only one that this is happening too i have flashed all MM roms with no success to even get pass boot screen only stays on one plus x boot animation screen. My
recovery is blu spark v12 clean install full wipes and it just wont boot up. Anyone know any solutions to help?
White e1003? I have the original black e1003, no problems with mm roms. There has been a lot of discussion about the white one in the mm topics.
Same for me, white e1003 can't boot MM ROMs.
But as I understand, almost all MM ROMs are based on ashwin007 CM13. So maybe there is just a problem with his kernel or something else in his ROM.
Just let him the time to see what's wrong.
Same here
Hi los1010, same here dude, sorry to say.
I have been in contact with two ROM creators, Sudamod & Cyanpop.
I'm using TWRP 2.8.7.0 Blu_Spark.r8 recovery, this might be the problem, from my experience
What we have come up with (sort of) is that it definitely is a kernel issue. i still think that if i changed my recovery it might work. otherwise the E1003 is the issue here, this model was meant to be only for Chinese huh? then they changed that policy to a European-allowed model. I really don't know. i recently went back to android after some years with ios. Please let me know if you find the resolution. I have to much to do to make it some time soon but i'll update this thread if i succeed.

I can't install another recovery for some reason, can't enter recovery after the new one's installed. Do i have to go back to stock recovery to flash a new one?
I've tried every recovery and I'm currently on master awsome TWRP, but it doesn't work.
And anyone tried removing the updator script thing???????

What updator script thing ?
The problem is not that it can't flash. Flashing works without problem/error. The problem is that it doesn't boot like if there is no system or kernel. It's just stuck on 1+ logo, never seen animated boot logo (eg cm droid logo).

Guys i F**** DID IT!!!!!
YES! only thing is that now it says setup wizard has stopped but that's problem nr 2.
God i'm happy. I have the white E1003 Euro version AND IM RUNNING SUDAMOD 6.0!! got them goosebumbs all over me xD
Okay, where to start. Spread this boys. all the people having the problem.
I'm running Onyx costom recovery TWRP r8,
Download these four files Blu_spark r88 CM13, Open Gapps ARM for 6.0, SuperSU 2.67 and Sudamods latest ROM. Lets get going.
First, totally format data, (only when having a working recovery, otherwise, stupid.) wipe dalwik cache, system, data and cache. Transer following files to internal after the wiping. SuperSU 2.67 beta, ROM, Blu_sparkr88 CM13.
Flash kernel, flash rom, flash Gapps, flash kernel once more, wipe cache & dalwik cache and it worked for me. It worked. no longer the oneplus logo. Good luck my fellow Droids, i'll try to fix problem nr.2 it is way more popular so someone must have a fix.
Ok will try this

Regarding setup wizard crashed when you have phone up and running, Fixed that to. Mod the Gapps zip using a PC and remove setup wizard file from CORE, then flash the zip in recovery on phone. Problem nr.3, hardware buttons down on screen does not respond. only the right one which now is back. Huh.

Good job! I would guess it's end stk with his latest Blu spark r88 that solved it
Everyone here interested, i suggest you use cyanpop instead, trid to flash it the same way, it works much much better with the onyx. No Gapps problem either.
Maybie it was the format of the partition that did it then. Sounds strange that you can't fastboot another recovery though?
Yes i know, i have tried but it says Remote:dtb not found. I don't know why but could it be the migration from blu_Sparks custom made recocery for onyx to TWRP v12 that screws it up? Do i have to format or wipe anything before? Have tried with rashr and fastboot.
I think what did the trick is "Blu_spark r88 CM13" , thanks

[Sorry if this DevDB thread is ugly, I will organize is later]
Hi, this is Jiiro.
I have finally finished compiling and testing out this LineageOS custom ROM for the SM-T350.
You may have seen @andr0idfr3ak's post on LineageOS for the SM-T350 (mine is updated).
I am now going to announce that I am going to be the maintainer for the SM-T350 development of LineageOS for now.
More custom ROMs are coming through!
Specs:
Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T350 8-Inch Tablet (16 GB, Titanium)
SM-T350 XAR GT58WIFIXX/GT58WIFI
Known bugs:
External Audio not working
Camera
Things that work:
Internal Audio does work (For example, using headphones)
Bluetooth Audio does work
Download Links:
Latest as of August 1, 2018
Latest Updato Firmware
Latest Unofficial LineageOS
Latest TWRP from Ashyx
Latest ODIN
*Note: I don't know if ********** is trusted, I downloaded it and ran it and had no problems whatsoever
Steps:
1) Get ODIN
2) Go to Download mode on your Samsung device
3) Flash TWRP
4) In TWRP go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe and click on
a) Dalvik / ART Cache
b) System
c) Data
d) Internal Storage
e) Cache
5) Go to Download mode after that
6) Go back on your ODIN and flash the firmware from Updato
7) After that happens, go back to Download mode and flash TWRP again
8) Do Step 4 and after that move onto Step 9
9) Have ADB on your machine, be in TWRP while this happens
10) Go to Advanced > ADB Sideload
11) On your computer type
Code:
adb sideload [Destination of your LineageOS .zip]
12) You're done! It will take about 5 minutes to boot.
Sorry if the guide is confusing, I will try to rephrase them again later.

Well let's see if we can help you out. What ROM were you on first and what firmware were you also on. I'm on nougat firmware but I usually run ghost ROM Android 6 with with permissive kernel. Also I used twrp 3.2.1 from Android freak on XDA somewhere.
Here's what I did
Flash twrp 3.2.1 in twrp from smt355 3.1 extracted image and flashed image to recovery partition in twrp not Odin.
I was on nougat firmware but running ghost project marshmallow .
I wiped data , cache, system not internal.
Flashed lineage zip with pico open gapps 8.1 arm.
Let it boot up for 5 to 10 minutes and worked.
---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 PM ----------
Let me add if you guys use twrp 3.2.1 make sure to not wipe your efs or restore it just use system, data, boot backup and restore if you do mess up the efs I have the fix on XDA if you get invalid mount and it won't boot up .
Do you have to sideload lineage OS or can you install via Twrp?
Also, is there a problem with the default camera app? Can you install like,open camera or Google camera? Or does it just not work at all? And internal/external audio. Do you mean headphones will or won't work? And would installing different audio drivers like Viper or something fix it?
Sorry, just want to know before I install. ?

Were you able to install twrp 3.2.1 it should work fine with stock nougat. Did you try flashing lineage again? Its really stable and boots right.

I posted link to twrp 3.2.1 if you need it on this thread.
Flash twrp 3.2.1
Wipe dalvik/art cache, data, cache, and system in twrp
Flash lineage rom
Flash gapps reboot
Wait 10 minutes sometimes it's slow
I'm on nougat firmware 7.1.1 CQJ1.
But it should work on you're firmware if not downgrade to mine and try that.
I don't update firmware or security patches unless its a Android upgrade like nougat to Oreo. The reason why is because I notice the google security patches always close up rooting and other things and don't really offer anything.

I'm running out of options... I also understand and know everything about the security patches but i got the tablet last weekend like that. My luck
I know TWRP 3.2.1 and lineage OS install correctly and I think they boot up because i can hear and see the tablet connecting to PC.... It's just that the screen is all black for some reason

Yes I've heard of that you need to shine a bright light on you're screen or turn up you're brightness on you're google account I've noticed that I shut of live display and adaptive lighting on all my phones and google saves my account information so when I load my ROM and account for the first time it automatically sets brightness. It did work you're right the screen brightness is the problem others have had this.

You need to go into twrp setting's and you'll see a row of options at the top click the 3 rd option its brightness and screen time out. On the ROM you go into settings and turn off the automatic brightness and set it

Flash twrp with twrp or Odin?
And if it's twrp do you extract the .tar file?
Okay! I installed it! Now can someone please tell me how to turn on the backlight? I tried the brightness thing bit the backlight still stays off.
Would another kernal fix it?

I did this in both TWRP and lineage O.S, brightness won't change. My brother told it could be kernel related but i dont understand why it works for some and black screens for others
