[HOW-TO] fix soft brick on locked device, reinstall system on it - Transformer TF300T General

I just managed a way how to manual install update/reinstall system after softbrick on locked device:fingers-crossed:. Here you go:
1. Download any software from this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697227
2. Unpack it one so you have a zip without UpdateLauncher
3. Rename the zip to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip
4. Put on a sdcard into the root (the sdcard should be clean, no other files)
5. Boot you tablet to RCK (Volume down + power, then volume up)
6. Let the magic begin:victory:!!! Take some minutes:angel:.
Attention! JB user pleas choose a JB ROM, don't flash ICS ROM on JB bootloader.

Ok, I will upload an easily step install.
Wait for it
i can't download the files needed... can somebody reupload them? cause i am about to root a gio sunday and i wanna install the recovery... also i was wondering if it can be done to install a2sd without installing a new rom, just by rooting the gio and keeping the normal rom... and if it can be done, how can i do it the best way? and which version is the best on gio?
try this (tested be me)
Installing ClockworkMod Recovery
- To be able to install ClockworkMod Recovery on your Galaxy Gio, your phone must be rooted first and must be running Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread or higher.
- Download the ClockworkMod Recovery update package from here. http://www.mediafire.com/?p7r2bcn9447bpc8
- Copy the ZIP file into the root of your phone’s SD card. Do not place the file inside any subfolder.
- Reboot the phone into recovery mode by holding down the Home/OK (middle) button as you turn on the phone using the Power button. In recovery mode, use the Volume buttons for navigation and the Home/OK button for selecting.
- Select “Update from SD card” from the recovery menu.
- Look for the ClockworkMod Recovery package file from the list that appears.
- Select the ClockworkMod package file to start installing CWM
- Reboot your phone.
Congratulations!

[HOWTO] Update to 4.0.3 OTA ICS from any version with Root access (For I9020T/I9020A)

Okay First of all download the following files
a)http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/VQ8PQk_V.zip (4.0.3 OTA)
b)http://android.clients.google.com/p...a25375426.signed-soju-ota-189904.1ada2537.zip (2.3.6 Official I9020T Build)
c)http://bit.ly/su2361ef (SU flashable)
d)http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686 (Grab recovery form this thread)
e)http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (Grab the android SDK installer)
f)http://attachments.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=687157&d=1313224429 (Radio file only required for I9020A)
Okay so when done with all that proceed as follows
1) Backup your current apps using Titanium Backup (Optional/Recommended)
2) Backup(Nandroid) your rom using backup option in CWM (Optional/Recommended)
3) Do a full wipe, wipe sdcard, system, data, cache Transfer a,b,c,f to your phone.
4) Flash the 2.3.6 Official I9020T Build you had downloaded using the install zip option in CWM (IMP-DO NOT REBOOT RIGHT NOW)
5) Flash the flashable SU file you had downloaded and then reboot.
6) Once your phone is on, continue to set up your account or skip it as you wish. (Optional)
7) Open up market, download the latest SU app, Voodoo OTARootKeeper, Titanium Backup and any other app you use that requires root.
8) Open the updated SU app, hit menu button and click preferences, go all the way down, click on su binary(tap to check for updates) , and make sure it updates to v3.0.3
9) After that is done, open and allow root permissions to all your root apps. (This is important)
9.5) Run Voodoo OTARootKeeper and click on protect root, make sure all options get checked.
10) Turn off phone, keep volume up and power pressed to boot into fastboot.
11) Select recovery with volume buttons and use power to launch.
12) Once you see a android bot image and an arrow image, keep volume up pressed and press power once, then you'll see some options appear.
13) Select apply update option and find the official 4.0.3 OTA file you had downloaded and flash. Reboot.
14) Once you have booted into ICS, go to Voodoo OTARootKeeper and select resture Root, all options should now be ticked, if not something went wrong.
15) Voila, you have root. Now to get back CWM recovery you can follow this -
i) Place the recovery img file in the android sdk platform-tools folder
ii) Switch to the directory where you unzipped the Android SDK & go to "tools"
iii) Then type "fastboot flash recovery yourfilename.img" & hit enter
iv) That should do it.
v) Optionally you may do it form Rom Manager too, if it works.
16) (ONLY FOR I9020A) Reboot phone, turn it off, boot into fastboot, select recovery, CWM should launch, flash the radio file you had downloaded to get radio working on I9020A (ONLY FOR I9020A)
Root only works for the apps that were installed while on 2.3.6
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip , use this root file, flash it in cwm, everything works, permissions etc.
This might work for other variants, tested on I9020A and I9020T, I take no responsibility for anything that might go wrong with your device. I take no credit for any links or procedures provided in this guide, I just tested and compiled.
Thanks and best of luck.

Might not work, though you can try, if it fails, do it my way, also its impossible to get any kind of root that way.
Link for the ATT Radio doesnt seem to be working
Great work!
wipe SD card?
Is this necessary?
I don't think it's necessary to wipe the SD card, I followed the procedure in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396913 and although it said my SD card would be wiped, everything was still there after I was done!
Anyone on a i9023 tried this?
Hmm...does "any version" includes M200(Korean Nexus S)?

I think he meant that for the 9020A radio
Link fixed, sorry for that, SD wiping might not be necessary, but I suggest as it makes it cleaner. Might work for I9023 and M200, I have no clue, maybe some experienced developer can answer that better.
Not to crap on a great tutorial, This is exactly what I would be looking for if I were not already set up and running. Last night was a dizzying whirlwind of flashing, high heart rates and finally becoming familiar with fastboot and flashing things like that.....lol
But in the end I simply found a cwm flashable zip without radio or bootloader and installed through cwm like any other rom. As far as root all I did was flash a zip file found on the forums and I was good to go.
Hi mine keeps hanging in the boot animation and can't get into recovery, what else can i do? Is my phone bricked?
little hiccup at step 12. im getting the android bot with exclamation mark but i press volume up with power and nothing happens. menu doesnt show up....
Edit: NVM... i pressed it 3 or 4 times and it finally worked

Many ways of doing it, I just am suggesting one, the flashable zip for ics isn't available as yet, what did you flash?
i9020 keeps getting status 7 aborted and my padlock is still unlocked on t-mobile 2.3.6

[GUIDE] CWRecovery flashable working Root SperUser for stock ICS 4.0.3

1. Place the superuser.zip file attached at the end of the post on your sd card.
2. Flash recovery in bootloader with "fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img". I recommend CWM 5.0.2.3 found in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686&highlight=recovery
3. Go to recovery, in "mounts and storage" select "mount system" and then flash su-install.zip (EDIT : Mounting system not necessary, the script does it automatically while flashing the zip, but just in case)
4. Fix Permissions and reboot system.
5. Use any root explorer (i recommend ROM Toolbox, free in market) and go to /etc and either rename "installrecovery.sh" to "installrecovery.sh.old" or just delete it (its not needed).
6. There it is - Rooted ICS with a recovery that sticks.
EDIT -- IF, by any chance, after following the above steps, you find that you're stuck without a recovery (android exclamation screen), just flash a recovery via fastboot and you'll be fine. This time the recovery WILL stick. I think its something to do with the su-install.zip. I dont know for sure because I found it off the internet, its not mine.
Also, I did the superuser market update and I DID NOT lose root. I have an I9020T. So others with the same can safely update, imo.
Thanks to ab.grafix for being a part of the team.
IMPORTANT -- The su-install.zip posted previously is NOT mine. I didnt know who made it but just found out. All credit to dzo binary and Chamb'. I just made a guide coz it worked for me and I thought it might help others too.
Tested on I9020T and I9023
Don't forget to click on that thanks button if this helped.
UPDATE -- Superuser was updated by ChainsDD to support ICS 4.0.3. Thank you ChainsDD! Updated zip is now attached.
So now that we have root we need a overclocked kernel...
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
works great but very old cwm
Worked as described. Thanks !
Old cwm? Wich version? Is it possible to flash the latest one with rom manager?
So I am on ICS alpha13.
I9023
- wipe everything and Flash Android 2.3.6/GRK39F/XXKF1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader via clockworkmod
- Reboot in stock recovery and flash stock ICS
- Boot in ICS enable debug mode
- Run the bat follow instruction?
Is it ok?
Thanks
Hi will it work on the rogers i9023a? Can someone tell me which stock ICS to flash?
Thanks
Thanks, it worked and nothing was wiped since I was already unlocked. With apps that require root you no longer get asked for root permission nor do they show in app list in superuser but it seems to have root for now
For the guys using linux (like me ) , just download the archive in the first post , retrieve from there 2 files: root.zip and recovery.img and use them with your current ADB setup.
HOW-TO:
Prerequisites: you have installed Android SDK, fastboot and you have set-up correctly the udev (ubuntu).
1. Place the above mentioned 2 files in the working directory
2. reboot in bootloader mode (vol-up + power)
3. connect USB cable
4. run "./fastboot-linux-i386 flash recovery recovery.img"
5. reboot bootloader
6. reboot recovery
7. mounts and storage -> usb mass storage
8. copy root.zip in the phone storage
9. go back -> install zip from sd card -> root.zip
DONE !
I just tested and is working fine.
If there are newbies out there trying to understand the nonsense I wrote, try following the rooting guide for Gingerbread and just use the 2 files I mentioned in this post instead of the ones in the archive for gingerbread.
when in BL i dont have Unlock option :|
Thanks for your effort.
But I'm curious about the flashable zip file.
What's the difference of the zip file between the orignal superuser ?
And did the recovery do some magic which CWM can't do?
After reading the script , I just see the zip is important ,maybe the recovery is doing some magic too.
I'll just flash the zip and see what happen.

In fact, you can use any recovery image you want, including the latest clockwork for example. I used TWRP to do this and it worked just fine. On linux, just flashed root.zip.
I've done it, thanks a lot. I've also replaced the recovery.img file with the last cmw and all went well.
Now the rom doesn't show the root permission request toast but it works however.
I'd ask if its possible to manually update the superuser.apk or its better to mantain this one?

Twrp updated in the link? I assume so and downloading
Sent from my SM-T231 using XDA Free mobile app
It worked!
My device is SM T231
android 4.4.2
Bought it, didn't update or anything
Downloaded your zip files, and scanned with antivirus (eset)- was clean.
Turned of antivirus and firewall.
Did everything in the post.
Changed the following (guide for extreme noobs)- that's me
Downloaded zip
open odin
Switched off before putting in download mode.
Put Tablet in download mode by Pressing the Home button + Power + Volume Down. Release buttons ,when you see a warning -DON'T PANIC -WAIT FEW SECONDS then press the volume up (vol +) to continue to download mode.
Connect your Tablet to your PC
Now you have to untick the Auto Reboot option in the ODIN. Otherwise the TWRP wouldn't start in the recovery mode.
Copy recovery.img.tar.md5 to C:
There is a option named 'BL' in the ODIN . Just tick that and click on 'BL'.
Now Select the recovery.img.tar.md5 file from the extracted zip.
Press START Button in the ODIN.
Wait till odin software says "RESET"
Press and hold Home button + Power + Volume Up button until your device restart into the recovery mode.
Click reboot
click system
Swipe when it asks swipe to install
Phone will reboot and open normally
Odin software will say "PASS"
ROOTING
Connect Tab to computer and paste SUPERUSER.ZIP into documents folder of Tab
BOOT INTO RECOVERY MODE BY PRESSING POWER BUTTON+HOME BUTTON+VOLUME UP BUTTON
NOW SELECT INSTALL
Select Documents folder
Select SUPERUSER.ZIP
Swipe when it asks (I forgot whether it will tell "swipe to install" or "swipe to flash"
It will say "Successful"
Select Reboot to System
Done

What is the defense between BL & AP ? BL is working always for me.

upgrade to Android Q & keep twrp and data

Ok here's what I did. To keep my data and twrp when upgrading from "P" to " Q".
1. I downloaded the OTA zip file.
2. Extracted it on your phone.
3. Edit the "Flash-all.bat" file
A. Delete "-w" from one of the last command lines.
B. Add "reboot-bootloader"
"fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3.1-marlin.img"
C. Hit "save"
C. Both the above command lines should be right
before the line "echo press any key to exit"
4. Add the twrp.img to the folder with the above extracted contents.
5. Edit "flash-all.sh" to read the same as you have just edited the "flash-all.bat" file. And then hit "save".
6. Compress the extracted file so as to create a .zip file again.
7. Move this .zip file to your PC.
8. Plug up your phone to your PC and make sure android debugging is active.
9. On your PC extract the .zip file you just created.
10. Make sure you have the twrp installer zip on your phone.
11. Go into the extracted .zip file and double click the "flash-all.bat" windows batch file and sit back and wait.
12. When it finishes it will boot up. 1 out 3 times I tried this it booted then immediately rebooted to the stock recovery with an error saying that my data may be corrupt and if I see this message again then perform a factory reset. And gave me to options "try again" and "factory reset". I clicked "try again". It then booted normally.
13. Power off your phone.
14. While holding vol down press and hold power button for a few seconds and then release the power button but NOT the vol down button. This will put you in bootloader mode.
15. Once in bootloader mode it will then boot twrp.
16. Once once twrp loads click install then navigate to the folder you put the twrp installer.zip and flash the installer. 17. Hit "reboot system"
18. Sit back and wait.
19. All your data will remain on the phone. All your settings stayed the same.
***********NOTICE ***********
1. YOUR BOOTLOADER MUST BE UNLOCKED. IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THAT THEN YOU SHOULDNT BE ATTEMPTING THIS. ESPECIALLY IF YOU ASK ME HOW TO UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER.
2. I TRIED THIS 3 DIFFERENT TIMES WITH THE SAME RESULTS. I will post pics of the step by step process later. Just wanted to go ahead and get this out there so those of you who know your way around an android could do it.
3. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU F'ING THIS UP AND NOT FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS TO A "T".
4. THIS IS RISKY BUT IF YOU FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY YOU SHOULD HAVE NO ISSUES.
Im also posting a pic of my about phone to show I am indeed on "Q" and that this worked for me.
Hope you enjoy
Be patient I'll have step by step screen shots posted in a little bit of the process. To maybe make it easier to understand.
Could this work for official android 10
Very nicely explained, thank you.
Please excuse me if this is a stupid question, but why not just extract and edit on your PC instead of on the phone then transfer to PC?
Did you try flashing magisk?
Thanks for letting us know latest twrp works. But did you try to get root @mattwheat ? I am too afraid to lose data so didn't flash magisk yet.
All I did was manually flash bootloader, radio, system and vendor and it kept all my data with working twrp and root (coming from pie custom rom).

So you didn't even wipe anything? You just booted into TWRP and manually flashed the files? I'm also on a 9 custom ROM and would love to know the best/safest way to make the move to 10

no wipes
Flashed through fastboot.
Steps:
flash bootloader
reboot to bootloader
flash radio
reboot to bootloader
flash system
flash vendor
reboot to system
I was missing OTA function in settings.....
it work for me but can't guarantee it will work for everybody. Best way is to try it.
flashed q beta and went back to pie customs roms by flashing bootloader, radio, and vendor (before official q was released). Have to download all apps but internal storage stayed intact.

You're welcome. And sure you could do that I would imagine. May be easier but then I would be explaining a method I did not actually try. And that would suck if by chance some ones phone caused world's to collide. I would feel pretty bad about that. Unless the end result was Nancy pelosi shutting up and resigning.

I did not have root after flashing twrp.... Seems like, looking back, that I tried and seems like it may have said "successful" but it didn't stick upon reboot. But I imagine it's neither here nor there cuz y'all prolly have root by now...
