Hello,
Am I the only one with a boot-loop problem after the .14 update download and install ?
Since then, my tablet has been into a boot loop, and none of the methods found to find in the forums worked sor far.
1) Tried pinhole reset
2) Tried recovery data swipe
3) Tried the "EP201_SDUPDATE.zip" method. It just goes to a screen with a blue diamond in the droid. Then after 20 seconds, the droid is on the floor with a "!" red symbol. After 30 seconds, the device goes back to boot-loop ...
Nothing worked. I tried to root it via adb but somehow I can't install the drivers on my computer, my computer doesn't even see the device via USB since it's stuck in the boot loop.
Did someone had this kind of problem earlier ? I did nothing special, the device is not rooted, nothing ... and had 0 problem with .11 firmware, worked perfectly ...
Thanks for any advice you could have !
I'm having a similar issue since the 14 update. My TP was perfect until last night when the 14 update arrived; but has been suddenly re-booting and getting frozen on the reboot screen since. However, pinhole restart did work, at least temporarily. I'm tempted to try rolling back the firmware.
Likewise, my device is not rooted or altered in any way.
Can't believe they have rolled out a firmware upgrade that actually corrupts a fully functional device! Who are these jokers?
Will update if I find a solution; please do likewise!
I am experiencing the exact same issue since yesterday and so desperate about it since I had no problems at all before. .
So frustrating.
Some more info I found :
During the night I let my device on, rebooting etc ...
I've noticed yesterday it wasn't really a boot loop because sometimes it'd go to the screen with a grey asus logo and a spinner, sometimes it was even going to the screen where the system updates and tries to optimize applications. Each time I went to this screen, it was updating a couple apps then crashing and going back to boot.
So, I figured out that maybe if it was on all night, it owuld update all apps, and boot eventually ...
This morning, the screen was off ... pushed the power button and OH ! I was on the "First start" screen, where I had to choose my keyboard language. Did it, then chose wifi and .... back to boot !
So, it's not technically a boot loop, it's a MASSIVE reboot defect, the .14 firmware totally killed it, the OS doesn't have time to boot, it crashes before ? How can it be ?
I think I'm good for RMA, will try to contact ASUS also ...
Again, same problem for me .
Except the application optimization was made yesterday (not as it should be, I had one reboot after 1/87 applications optimized then the whole optimization).
Since then, sometimes (once in a blue moon), the tablet reboot completely as yours, and then after a few seconds/minutes "playing" on it, it reboots itself.
Etc...

I think our only hope is to recover it using the EP201_SDUPDATE.zip and be lucky enough for the tablet not to reboot during the recovery ... but it might take a lot of tries and it's boring to do ...
I think so. But is it possible to do so without root-access ? What does this method consist of exactly ? Where does this file come from ?
I downloaded the .11 update zip archive from Asus support, isn't it the same ?

From what I read root is not required
Yes, it's the good file. Unzip it, inside there will be another zip file.
Rename this : EP201_SDUPDATE.zip
Put it in the root of a microSD card and then put the microSD in the Prime.
Once you've done that, reboot the prime (anyway yours will reboot quickly lol) by holding power and Volume Down button at the same time. Hold it until the first screen of boot comes up and until text appears on the top left.
As soon as you see the text, release everything, then press Volume UP.
It'll say "Booting recovery kernel image" "Signature Match".
If the tablet doesn't reboot before actually starting the recovery, you'll go to a screen with a droid with a blue diamond and then a "dead droid" with a "!" red symbol. I never passed this step as my device reboots before the end of the recovery ...
Good luck
I'm going to try that .
Have you seen testimonials of successful attempts ?
I mean, is it a valid method ?

Yes and no.

They're talking about two different things I think, one thing is to flash the firmware with command line, this requires root of course.
Just wondering if anyone experiencing these reboots has captured a logcat? Seems to be a good first step in figuring out the problem.

Maybe, it's not clear out there. And I'm not sure to understand anything anymore.
Perhaps you should ask them to confirm this method doesn't need a root access.

I'd love to, but I'm unable to get adb access to the prime, it reboots before my computer can even install the drivers
Ok so, once plugged with USB to my computer, and when finally the device wants to boot and stays on the "android configuration screen", windows is able to access the TF201 folder system ... but not luck with ADB, I guess that's because the debug option is not activated on the device and I can't pass the first configuration screen, it always reboots before the end of it
Another update : using the EP201_SDUPDATE.zip method, I was able to install the US .14 firmware, but result is the same, reboots like crazy.
I'm currently trying to get the .11 US firmware to try to downgrade, but it's hard to find, asus removed all the older US firmwares from their servers, god knows why
EDIT : found the 11.1 firmware, doesn't work ... I'm stuck with .14 firmware

Hello. So, I was trying to install a ROM on my LG Optimus Extreme (LG L40G) using Nexus Root Toolkit and I botched it up. Now it only displays the LG logo and NOTHING I have tried works. It is permanently stuck on the logo. What software would be best for fixing this?

Let's to clarify your problem, You've bricked your phone. Be careful what you are doing. You shouldn't root your phone.

Firstly, you should check out whether you're able to go to Recovery by pressing VOL+ and POWER button.(Do this when the phone is off)
If ok, you could install a safe and healthy ROM base on your phone model but if not, I fear to tell you that you fell into hassle. And probably you'll have to throw your phone out to the garbage.

Note that you should firstly take the battery out for 3 minutes and then put it in and HOLD VOL+ and POWER button for about 15 seconds. Don't release it soon. check it out and make me aware.

I wouldnt say just throw it away.. Is this Nexus Root Toolkit even made for your device? and if so does it have a page where there are trouble shoot options?
Also does this device have a specific thread? I looked and didnt see one but not that familiar with this device..

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
I have had a couple of restarts and lags since I started use this ROM. Sometimes my watch don't want to turn on from ambient mode, I must wait and it's really annoying.
I think the wibration is too loud. But good thing is that my watch is faster.
Perhaps a factory reset would fix the issues you are having. The script clears both userdata and cache, but something weird may have happened.
No issues on my end, using the Windows script to install the ROM.

Pretty sure this has just bricked my watch. It couldn't find the firmware files after wiping the watch and then restarted it. Now it's just sitting on the LG unlocked bootloader screen and not responding to anything I can do, nor is it detected in device manager.

Whenever I install(manually and auto) my watch wont reboot, it doesn't ever get past the LG logo. I found out boot wouldn't format, so instead of formatting before I flash the image I erased. I don't know if that's somehow the problem but I need help. I currently reinstalled stock boot and system and it's working fine.
Now the watch's touchscreen won't work. I think I installed the system.img but not the boot. Now it boots but the screen doesn't work and I cant get into fastboot

undervolting
Hi! I like u rom on my watch with ondemand governor. What about undervolting of cpu?
Hi All,
I wonder if any of you is able to help me please, I promise a kind donation in case the device works again.
So here's my story I bought a 2nd hand Galaxy s6 device from a store, it worked for about 9 months then it got blocked, I returned it to the store and after lots of arguing he decided to exchange the blocked device for a similar one if I repair the screen I broke, so I paid him another £180.00 to fix both the screen and back cover.
The wanker gave me a phone which looked fresh, I put my sim inside and it worked without any issues whatsoever... for about 30 mins then the sim card was not recognised anymore !! changed sim cards and nothing happened, when I returned back to the shop the IMEI number on the receipt was not matching the IMEI number in the phone, so the prick said that I am lying to him and that this device is not the one he sold to me, without any proof of it, I am now totally screwed.
After putting the device into download mode it shows the model name as: SM-G925X
The MF gave me a LDU, but whats driving me nuts is that it worked for about 30 mins, I made calls from this LDU for less than 30 mins before it stopped reading the sim card !
Now I took it to another store, where the guy completely f it up and got it bricked and now stuck at the samsung logo.
**If anyone could help me to get this device to work again I will be so grateful to you and promise and kind donation.

I am no longer able to get into recovery mode, I tried flashing various firmwares by removing all the .bin files yet the device is still stuck in boot loop.
I also cant locate the S/N to use the emergency recovery function in Smart switch, last time the device was on the imei number and S/N it had, showed up as a completely different samsung device !

Have a go at flashing this firmware via odin. Rumour has it that you can flash unbranded G925F firmware onto an LDU. The worse that can happen is odin will fail.
If you need instructions on how quote me and I will get the notification
