How do I set my TF to complete stock. My power button is half-way stuck in and a pain to press, so I am going to send it back and get a new one.
But before I sent it back I tested to see how good the CPU in this one is. Anyway, how do I get it back to complete stock?
This thread help me out a LOT.

Also another method is to just reflash it with a ROM from the Asus site.
How do I do that second method?
If I use that first method will the people I am returning it to be able to tell it was rooted and OC'd?

I've searched, but can't find quite the answer I need.
My power button failed. I've unlocked the N1 and had CM running on it, but obviously I need to revert to stock before I send it back to HTC, who have said they'll take it.
I can't do anything in the Bootloader because the power button doesn't work.
I've tried restoring in Recovery mode but the original ROM isn't on there anymore.
How do I revert back and wipe all data? HELP!
Wrong forum but read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702966&highlight=power+button
Thanks mate... I saw that thread, but it doesn't say how to revert back to stock.
But, one of the posters sent his in with Froyo on it, so I guess I'll send it as is and hope I get a nice HTC person.
Well, I purchased my epic 4g on launch day. I have had a blast with it but it did get pretty mundane for me very quickly. This is were I began searching for cool things to do to the phone to fit me and my lifestyle. I rooted it and installed an overclock kernal. Anyway, my problem is i believe that I have "bricked my phone". I was searching for ways to enable wifi tethering. I came across some other kernals, and began the process of returning phone back to factory specs and install the kernal. It seemed to work fine until my phone began to freeze. It would freeze about 1-2 minutes of being turned on. I began to search and came across odin. Well apparantly I do not know how to work odin correctly, because now my phone only shows a cell phone...! (in orange yield sign)...PC. (cellphone ! PC). I would greatly appreciate anybody that is able to get me out of this bind. I do love and cherish my phone, now regretting me messing around with this. thanks
Can you get into download mode? Hold the 1 on the keyboard while powering on. If you can, you should still be able to flash back to a stock rom.
I am able to go into download mode. I am currently downloading the stock rom. how do you flash into clockwork? volume down, camera, and power button equals green text.
Hopefully this is what you need...
If you can get into download mode, you should be able to save your phone.
Just follow the instructions here:

It should fix your phone right up, I used it myself just this morning. I learned the hard way you have to be careful with custom ROMs
Also, why overclock it? It's already 1GHz, the fastest market processor in a phone. IMHO, overclocking a 1GHz is unnecessary and only wears out your hardware faster.
Phone is up and running. Now the problem that I have is that there is a circle with a line through it and i am unable to get online or make any calls.
sounds like you're missing a modem? You'll need to flash one.

If you flashed the DI18 tar it includes the modem (god knows I've flashed this more time's I'd like to admit)...
What did you flash in ODIN exactly? Can you tell us step by step what you did?
I'd like to hear the step-by-step too. I followed all the steps to the letter in that thread I linked to, and have had no problems with my phone since.
Clarification...
When you followed the steps in the thread I linked, did you use the stock kernel, or the other one that wipes everything?
After I pseudo-bricked my Epic, only the one that wipes everything worked.
Hey guys... So I'm enjoying my DHD, It was on the 3 U.K network, unlocked it, rooted t, running leeedroid atm, however, if I ever need to get it back to a stock rom in case I wanna take it back, how do I go about it?
Remember it was originally on 3 U.K.
Thanks
There's threads all over the dev section, go have a look at them.
I think most people who have sent them back with custom ROMs on there have just been flashed back to stock anyway, so they don't seem to mind that much, but just in case.
As far as I'm aware though it's as simple as downloading a piece of software called a RUU for your phone, which in your case is 3, running it with the phone plugged in and then laughing at how easy it is =)
OR
Putting the img on the root of your SD card, going into bootloader (volume down and power on, then bootloader) and it automatically finding it, installing it and then reboot.
But I'd suggest reading a few of the threads about it and using the search button because as with all these things, there's always a risk it'll brick
After a quick search this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1267345&highlight=ruu has a link to the ruu you might want, then just ota update it.
Brilliant. Sounds good enough.
Also, how can I change the splash screen of the phone? Hate the "3" Logo coming up when I restart the phone.

Good good. Like I said though, most people seem to just send it back and they'll do it for you
I'm not positive you can, I've never seen any thread saying how to get rid of it. You can have a nice boot animation though from uot (google "uot kitchen")
Here is a link on changing the bootsplash. Its fairly easy to make one yourself, or you can ask one to be made for you. Their are quite a few posted you might find one you like

Help! Really need to go back to stock firmware before tomorrow morning, I'm on 3 U.K and need the right RUU!
When I got it it was already on 2.3.3, What RUU Can I flash? Or how else can i go back to stock, help D:
So, I had been using my A500 for the last few days with no problems. Well, yesterday, I got home from work and powered it on. The lockscreen came up, but the screen was unresponsive. I turned it off and then back on, but screen still didn't work. Then I did a hard reset, which still didn't fix the problem. I put it into recovery, then did a wipe that still didn't fix the issue. I flashed the ROM again. Then a different ROM. All it does is is boot up and go to the lock screen, but the screen does not respond.
If I can avoid it, I don't really want to go through the hassle of returning it since I got it online. Hopefully it can be fixed without having to take it back. Thanks in advance for everyone's help.
Boot back into recovery.
Wipe your 3 things,
User Data
Cache
Dalvik
Then go to Mounts
Format the same 3 (user data, cache partition and Dalvak.
And Flexrom
Then flash your rom. Try and flash a basic rooted rom. No kernels, no gapps.zip
See what happens.
If you have a file called update.zip, on your sd, I would delete it. And anything else there except for the rom.
sounds like hardware failure. Has the tablet been dropped or banged around. The connector on the digitizer could have came loose.That would mean void warranty and take it apart ..
Send it back is likely your. Best option
Thanks for the quick responses! I'm gonna try these things, hopefully I don't have to take it back.
Guess it is a massive hardware failure. I formatted everything and reset everything I could. All ROM's will flash and boot, but I since the screen does not work, I cannot get past the first screen.
I'm going to have to return it, dammit. So, with no touchscreen, does anyone know how I can remove Clockworkmod Recovery and get the tablet back to stock? I don't want to get any problems during the return. Thanks everyone.

Well, with no touchscreen that makes the easy way out of the question.
Vache has a page with stock roms and updates;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
Now, some people, extracted the update.zip from the update rom, copied it to sd, and booted holding vol+ and PWR. This automatically starts the update flashing.
Others have actually flashed them through CWM and were successful. You can read through the thread and see how they fared.
On a normal basis, we would install AcerRecovery and flash them through there, as that is the preferred method for the full rooms. But this is out of the question for you, as you only have CWM.
With the update.zip, it might work, might not. The update might look for a preinstalled stock rom matching the ComGen numbers. Really don't know.
(I would try the above if the following doesn't work)
Another method, is to use ADB and push a stock image to your device. I've never done this personally, but I know it can be done. Best bet, is to repost the question "how to push a stock image with adb", then explain briefly why. And post it in the Q&A forum. This should hopefully get some folks who use adb to help you out. I rarely use it.

Thanks for all your help. I was able to get it back to stock. The return should go fine. You're awesome and I did not forget to use the thank you button.
have you tried a USB keyboard or mouse to flash it.thou I still think its hardware.
Failure
You can use normal usb mouse with this tablet, you will get mouse pointer on the screen when you connect mouse...

I was able to flash using the physical buttons. I got it all back to factory specs so I can return it. you were correct I believe, it does seem to be a screen hardware failure. Everything else works but the touch response.
Im very sorry for your luck.. But i do believe this is a very well built device. Someone has to get a bad one sometimes.. Boohooooooooo

Hello everyone,
I have an A500 I rooted over a year ago and put a rooted stock rom on (Honeylicious 3.2) and I have an old Thor recovery on it.
It runs very well, but it's time for a change.
I'm either looking to switch over to a newer rooted rom, or simply go back to stock.
What would be the easiest way to achieve either option? I've been out of the game for some time now, and all the new info on everything from a year ago til now is monumental to go thru.
Anyone want to do a simplified explanation for me?
Thanks in advance!
I wouldn't mind some advice on this too. I'm on one of Thor's old recoveries and running his ICS from ages ago.

This may not be the best way, but will work for back to stock.
Install EUU for 3.01 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816560 , then follow the upgrade path on the play store until you end up with stock ICS 4.03. Easy, but will take an hour or 2.
You will need to go into APX mode (Power off, hold reset button with paper clip or similar, hold power button till tab vibrates (about 3seconds) release power button, a second or so later release reset button. Screen should be blank, and white power LED should be lit.
You will also need your CPUID. If you are still on HC you can get it from settings. DO NOT START ANYTHING WITHOUT HAVING YOUR CPUID!!!!!
There are ways of recovering it, but you can't beat knowing it before you start.
Also, make sure you have prop per drivers installed for A500 before starting. If unsure of any of the above, search the A500 forums for clarification. (Or ask, someone will have an easier/better solution.)
