whatsup.. big problem on my hands and iv'e Looked everywhere on here as much as i can to Find a solution to my problem.. witch brings me to here. -
Problem: My transformer TF101 was working and and fully functional Just a Couple of days ago,until it Froze up then Died while i was using it.. (note: it IS rooted and has a custom rom on it as well) .. so,i started it back up by just pressing on the power Button ,aaannndd it just got as far as the asus "inspiring innovation" welcoming screen.. and it stay there and goes no where else..
Iv'e tried different solutions like pressing power and holding volume up or volume down to get into recovery.. but all it does is Shut off,i TRIED (though i don't think i did it correctly) to do the NVflash (mine is compatible) but my PC will not Recodnize my Transformer's USB.. iv'e downloaded the USB utility as well and still nothing..
Can someone tell me what to do or at least help me out to get this sucker fixed.. its depressing not using my tablet lol. .. any help is awesome,thanks -
To get into recovery it's:
Push and hold Vol down plus power button
When you see words at top left corner
Immediately push Vol up within 5 sec
Try that and see if you can get into recovery
awesome man,its so retarted i forgot that lol.. but i have run into another Problem unfortunately.. i did exactly what you said and it froze i believe at the "booting recovery kernal image" screen :/
any suggestions ? or should i just turn it off again and Redo it?.
Is your tf nvflash compatible? (serial # B60 or previous and some B70).
Yupyup, I got a B40 -

I was wondering if anyone is working on a way to fully root the Behold 2. I tried the temporary root tutorial but seeing how fastboot cannot be accessed I was curious if there has been progress made or is it totally unrootable
Eric
Yeah i'm working on it without a behold 2 at the monent
I have 2 or 3 ideas which i'm sure will work. I'll have more when i finally get rid of my galaxy and get a behold 2
I will keep my fingers crossed on you getting a Behold 2. I was going to take my Behold 2 back to T-Mobile and go back to the MyTouch 3G but I cant see getting rid of a device when there is soooo much potential for it. Plus having the AMOLED screen and the 5MP camera helps too.
Eric
don't forget 320mb ram!! even more than any other HTC phone right now.
The Behold II is nice, I have one, anything I can do to help let me know, I am very eager to root this thing and get rid of touch wiz.
u can install open home which should do it for now.
Thats already done, but there is still the taint of touchwiz.. wonderful phone, horrible UI.
Yeah I had Open Home on it as well but earlier today I purchased GDE from the market and am really digging this home replacement.
Eric
Found this by accident, cant figure out how to do it again. was trying to get into recovery mode.
Awesome. So it can be accessed somehow. that is VERY good news
Eric
Interesting!
You can flash the recovery through Odin too, but its restored on the next boot.
Fastboot mode
Ok so I have been able to reproduce it now, this is how I am getting into fastboot, have your usb cable plugged into your computer then plug it into the phone, very quickly press vol down + send + power. thats it, the part i was missing was the usb cable timing, it appears to be required, this is of course from a powered off state.
GREAT I just tried this and it WORKS yessssss.... someone wanna try rc29
I keep trying to get this, and all it does is bring me to recovery whether I hold or briefly press volume down, send, and power.... any suggestions?
It's powered off, plug in usb cable, quickly press buttons, and I get recovery... no fastboot for me
EDIT:GOT IT!!!!! Seems after trying in order volume down, send, power I wasn't able to get it, however, I just tried, send, volume down, power in that order and it worked!
no no no .,.,..
power off wait 5 sec's
plug usb in and immediately press volume down, send, and power
I think the reboot issue is caused by a scan in an init script or something like that..
To solve this issue I would have to look deeper into it, a quicker way would be to find someone who knows java.
He could write an app which starts itself on boot_completed and executes the root command.
I was looking at exactly that Getting there...
Getting there.
hehe, cant wait.
man i sure hope someone figure out how soon, i love this phone
This guy found a work around for the samsung moment ,,, which suffers the same reboot issue...
http://midnightchannel.net/blog/255-how-to-root-the-samsung-moment.html
hey guys, ive never really had any issues far as flashing rom on my phone, ive always just figured things out on my own without the need to ask a question however this one baffles me....
last night i flashed nero v5 over axura 2.2.6, no issues with that the phone rebooted, i let it sit about 10 mins rebooted no problems still so i started setting up the phone like i like it, well the first issue was the market wouldnt download anything at all period, so i reflashed, same thing, i then tried to go to back to axura at which went fine until the phone booted up and is stuck at the devsforandroid splash screen
now naturally the thing to do is hold volume up and volume down plus power get into download mode and odin to stock well heres my dilemma...
my volume up button hasnt worked for a few weeks, not sure why, its just stopped working one day.
is there a way to get into download mode while stuck in a boot loop with the volume button broken?
thanks for any help

well for me to get into download mode i dont hold the power button... i know you said your volume button doesnt work, but try taking out the battery, put it back in, hold both volume buttons down, while holding the vol buttons plug in the usb cord to the phone... BUT HAVE ODIN READY TO GO BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING... try doing that if not your gonna have to use adb and thats something im not very familiar with at all...
The above post is right you can also try just holding the down volume button and then while holding it down, plug in the usb cord, make sure you have odin up and ready if it sees then, you are good to go, (it should) You could also use the jig (see the bible for this) once you get the little android with a shovel you can odin back to stock
If you know how to use adb you can type "reboot download mode" and it should reboot into it. Ya I dont ever use the power button when I get into dl mode but hell if your volume buttons aren't all working then I dont know.

is there a tutorial on this anywhere? i have never used adb never had any use for it i guess until now...
ive also switched to sprint and got the evo 4g, so should i not be able to fix the vibrant i guess ill sell it to whomever can fix it for cheap
p.s. not that anyone cares but when i swtiched carriers i was discussing the samsung epic with him about the update problems we face with the vibrant, and he showed me that in their monthly employee playbook they just got for next month (february), the epic is in it to recieve the foryo update (some time in february),i read it and it didnt say specifically 2.2 or 2.2.1 just froyo, but like always whos know if itll happen or not, probably not but its what he showed me
Hi all. I just flashed the ROM on addictive.com for Honeycomb (I can't post a link, but if you google galaxy tab honeycomb upgrade you should see it).
I used Heimdall, and it indicated the ROM flash was successful. After it was done, the yellow download screen went away and the device powered down. Now I can't get it to power back up, and I just put it on the charger and can't even get a charging light.
I've tried holding the power button for a minute, and hold the home and/or down volume keys with the power button, no luck. I'm going to leave it on the charger for a good hour or two and try to get it to boot again.
Beyond that, any ideas on troubleshooting short of calling Samsung and having them look to see if they can repair? Did the flashing of the ROM hose it from a software standpoint, or did the flashing just happen to fry the hardware?
Any ideas are much appreciated - I've only had the device about a month ...
Any one knows?
Did it specify which sgt it was for, like gsm/cdma? You may have the wrong one

Hello, so my atrix was perfect like 2 hours ago. I ad neutrinos rom gt+ on it for like 2 days days and everything was perfect. But ! well i was playing a bit with it and deleted some stuff in the android folder of my internal sd, it was only real racing 2 game files and some other stuff. I played some more with it and my screen started flashing strangely and doing weird stuff. I closed the screen, i opened back same thing. The phone shutted down itself. I tried rebooting and now im stuck at the red m logo with unlocked in the top left corner. i tried to access recovery by doing a battery pull and rebooting but i dont have access to the little menu. Anybody can help me fix this?
Silly question but are you holding down the volume down rocker button during boot? Do you get the prompt for fastboot, android recovery, etc ?
If it pops up scroll down using volume down to android recovery and hit the volume up to select it.
Should be able to fix it from there.
When i hold down volume down button there is absolutely no prompt pf any kind =\ i already installed some stuff with cwm and i had to go through there, but now i have nooothing =(

Did you update to the latest firmware? If so it might be wise to see about reflashing that same firmware again with RSD. It's a pain in the arse and you might have to do it a few times to get it to work right, but it is possible. I had the latest build CM7 on my atrix and I reflashed to stock just to see if I could.
I'm not kidding though when I say it's a painful process, the phone might get stuck in a boot loop (where it goes to the M Dual Core logo and just reboots). If that happens you're still okay cause you can just keep reflashing the stock .sbf file till it takes (just don't downgrade).
Your call though.
Meh today its completely dead, i checked it today and all ihave is green led =(
Edit: Plugged it in wall charge instead of computer, back to M logo =(
Unlocked bootloader so best not to use RSD. Can you get fastboot? Reboot and hold volume up instead of down.

Find a friend with an Atrix and use their phone to charge your battery, or try going into an AT&T store and asking if you can charge it there on a display phone.
Im in canada =/ but one of my friend got an atrix, ill charge the battery with his phone BUT back when my battery was still charged i still couldnt get to fastboot/recovery power+up and power+down didnt worked neither. Is it hard bricked?
Il also ordered stuff to make a motorola factory cable, think i will be able to do anything with this?
Still seeking help guys! I loved my atrix please help me to recover it :/

Well, if you can't get into either recovery, fastboot, or rsd mode you won't be able to fix it. Make sure you're pressing the volume down button as you boot the phone, and keep it held down until the options come up.

Hello,
I had been using my i9500 for quite a while now, with no issues.
rooted, Hassan rom , Philz Kernel, worked flawlessly until yesterday.
suddenly my phone started rebooting indefinitely, not entering recovery or download modes.
I tried mashing the buttons a little, and i got to the download mode "Warning" screen (unable to go any further) without holding my power button - meaning only by holding both home and volDown keys.
anyway, this lead me to believe my power button is malfunctioning, yet i can still normally press it (Clicking as usual, as if there is no physical damage) and I did not drop or damage my phone in any way.
all of the online threads are regarding phones stuck on boot animation, yet mine is flashing the "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500" white over black screen (before the boot animation) and doesnt reach boot animation.
i want to believe my data is still reachable as i have not made any backups lately, this is why I came here.
if anyone has encountered any similar issue, please shed some light as this is the first time i had been unable to solve a "boot loop".
thanks in advance!
(ps, phone is still stuck on the loop, i let it keep doing so overnight to let the battery die, plugged it back in to no avail)

My GT-i9500 just started this same issue less than an hour ago.
I have taken the battery out and I am hoping this will help. Since I never turn the phone off the power button doesn't get used that much. At the most it might get used once a month.
Well I am not sure if this was the reason for it working but I put the battery back in and rocked the power button back and forth. Now its booted properly. Will keep and eye on it, just a pity it would give issues a few days before Christmas. Repair centers won't be open until early Jan.

While waiting for the lab to open (sunday) i started flicking my phone a little more violently (upon the acceptable amount of strength), and now i made it boot (!!!).
the current status is the power button is not working, i am carefully navigating to titanium backup... hope i can get a Nand backup aswell, but that's just being greedy. thank god for Philz touch recovery (no power no love on recovery)
Hello mate...
