sorry but what do you mean i am "screwed" is there nothing i can do
According to said thread, nothing you can do short of sending it back to Samsung for a motherboard replacement.
Its under a 1 year manufacturers warranty. Make up some dumb **** story and send it back in. Thats the advice I got for my SGSII. "Tell them you were on the phone, it started to get stupid hot, and you did a battery pull." If you play a story well enough they should offer a replacement. Or check out mobile tech videos.com and see if they offer a jtag service for the note. Furthermore, if they do, you will want to contact them and explain and see if they could help before sending it in. Good luck, I know how upset I was when I bricked my SGSII.

thanks for your reply but alas i cannot do something like that as it would be considered as fraud and with my job(solicitor) i do not think that would be appropriate
i am very angry about this mind you, iI have read the disclaimer and understand the risks but after reading about a bit it seems like this rom has caused a lot of problems
Thread Closed
I feel your pain, and hope you get this sorted. But we have a existing thread, so please search before posting.
Hi everyone,
I've just bought 2 new TF300Ts for the children. But what should I do first before handling them over to the kids?
Should I uninstalled all the apps/bloatwares that come with the tablet? Should I root the system and install a new OS?
When I first got my Samsung Galaxy phone, I rooted it and install Cognition. Whenever we get a new laptop/desktop, first thing I do is to go into Control Panel and uninstalled a bunch of apps. Install AVG antivirus, Malwarebytes anti-malware, etc.
I am looking to make the tablets clean, efficient, and fast before giving them to the children.
Thanks,
Personally, I just got mine the other day and flashed TWRP, then ParanoidAndroid (didn't bother rooting because flashing a rooted ROM takes care of that), then flashed the Untermensh overclocked kernel that's provided in the OP of the ROM thread. Keep in mind that there are many settings in that ROM and a lot that can be messed up. If the children are old enough to understand that, I would definitely recommend going the route that I did. With or without the overclocked kernel, this is a great ROM and a lot of fun to play around with. :good:
Everything that I needed was found here in this forum.
Good luck with your decision.

The children are 6 and 8. Definitely a little young to be messing around with settings.
They would be using the tablets mainly for games, movies, music, etc.

That's a good idea. With kids messing around. It's probably better to leave the tablet alone with the warranty.
But at the same time, I want to make it a little quicker and leaner.
i'd leave them stock too, for the warranty. maybe put a gumdrop case over them too, as they have a good fall protection and a screen protector too. this is what i use, but its mainly for work, indoor and outdoor...
If you're planning to just let your kids use the tablet, then leave it stock for warranty purposes. You're going to want to leave the warranty intact trust me.
I agree. I would most definitely leave the tablets stock with the warranty intact. A lot of damage can be done to a rooted device if the user doesn't know what they are doing. Hmmmm, come to think of it, damage can be done in the hands of the experienced too. LOL
EDIT:
The Gumdrop case that Buckmam suggested is a very good idea too. :good:

the kids could expose some of those defects. from what I understand, once you root it/unlock it, Asus has the right to void the entire warranty, even manufacturing defects.
Also, there is a lot of damage that can be done internally when a device has been rioted. Essential files can.be mistakenly removed. Etc,etc. The worst thing.that can happen is the device ends up bricked. Once the bootloader has been unlocked , there is no sending it back to.the factory. I think the only thing Asus will still cover is MB failure.

You could look down the custom launcher route
Or just use the app locker to lock settings and the apps you use and disable the rest

I use ADW EX as my launcher and it is awesome. You can customize it many ways including themes. Is a nice way to jazz up the look w/o rooting. Its fast too.

There are other cases too that don't look like the Gum-Drop. I just bought a plain, smooth rubber case off Ebay a couple of days ago. I didn't like the look of the Gum-Drop either. LOL I will admit though, the Gum-Drop may look stupid but it is designed for maximum protection. :good:

I hope we are allowed to post links to places like Ebay. If we're not, I'm sure the Mods will let me know.
Here is just a simple rubber case like I purchased on Ebay. It is by no means a Gum-Drop case but it'll do for me. This is just a little something for me to use around the house or when I'm in the car on a road trip.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Silic...es_Covers_Keyboard_Folios&hash=item2c6a6f68d3
This is a combo similar to the one I bought. I just wanted something to get me by until I purchase the keyboard/dock. I plan on getting it within the month and will by a true leather case then that will accommodate both the pad and the dock. The case I bought is not 100% leather but it's decent quality. Both the screen protector and stylus are too. I'm very happy with it and the price.

My tablet came with 4.1 on it and I used the bootloader unlocker that Asus provides. If you are on JellyBean, you must first unlock the bootloader before flashing recovery and rooting or it will not work.
As for TWRP. I installed SDK with adb and fastboot. I used fastboot to flash TWRP. Here is the link to the .blob files I used.
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/97
These are the commands I used once in fastboot:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

I just wanted to add that I am running the ParanoidAndroid ROM with the Untermensch kernel and it is running flawlessly. I've had it up to 1.6GHz and it's as stable as can be. No issues whatsoever to report.
give the boxes to your kids with colored markers and a pair of scissors, and pimp out your new tablets. you deserve slickness redefined, and they deserve an imagination
Sent from my Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2
Just wanted to add that the rubber case came today and it's what I expected. Just a simple rubber case that will help keep the back from getting scratched up. It will help if the tablet is ever dropped but not much. If you think there's a chance you'll drop your tablet, don't even bother with the one I bought. Get a Gum-Drop.
With no recovery in sight for bricked tablet, i finally sent mine in for repair. My tablet was not very old, so i had to pony up the cost of an new MB from ASUS. Out of warranty after unlocking the bootloader, so that's on me, but i will be gun shy unlocking it again and commence to flashing different roms, as much as i'd like checking new ones out, for now i will have to refrain from doing so.
I've sunk all the money i am going to in this tablet, which i still like very much.
I feel you man. I was in luck since I purchased it from GameStop with an extended warranty. I got it bricked and got it returned (those guys have no idea what happened to my tablet so they just exchanged it for me)... I have to pay 30 bucks for a new warranty but hey!

If you don't mind me asking......What's the going rate for ASUS to replace the MB?
youre better off getting it from ebay and replacing it yourself
But so long as anyone follows directions, and pays attention to what you are doing, there is no way you can brick the tablet
I just had CROMI installed, fastbooted the latest update, fastbooted the TWRP recovery, and am back up and running have root, in process of deodexing, its seriously really easy
I feel the reason other's bricked is cause they were too impatient

It came to $196 total,but i had saved damn near that amount originally on deals for the tablet and docking station. Never the less it stung having to dole out the cost of repair.

Not a bad deal at all. Mine came from Best Buy, but way beyond their return policy otherwise i would have tried to exchange it out for a new one.
I got my S4 today, rushed home to open the package really excited to come straight onto xda and root it, as I need to run arliberator app in my car and also titanium backup to get all my data over from my old galaxy.
Now I see that i cannot root it because of Knox and that even though it is unlocked after kkitkat I wont be able to use my foreign sims when i am abroad which i always do as roaming costs are extortionate!
well my S4 has sat here all day switched off and I don't even want to switch it on, its a useless brick as far as i'm concerned i am hugely disapointed and really wish I had bought the Z1 or even the old xperia z instead of this SamDung
maybe you are one of the lucky ones with an old boot loader .if your firmware is older than mgg like ending with mga you can root without voiding your warranty .

Are you not still within a cooling off period if youre not happy and want to return it for a refund?
I wouldn't rush out to get the Z1 either as there appear to be issues unlocking the boot loader as in the below link. Ive also had HTC devices were it was nearly impossible to gain s-off (having to perform a wire trick to apply an engineering hboot). If you check the HTC One forums there are people on a recent hboot who are unable to s-off as its been locked down by HTC, which can cause headaches when trying to flash certain ROMs.
The reality is Samsung just isn't making devices specifically catering for people who like to modify/flash custom stuff. If you want full control of your device with an easily unlockable boot loader, then get a Nexus.

2) Even if you have knox, you can still root. You just lose your warranty. Are you ok with that?

I'm on MH8 4.2.2 so i'm affected before i even had a chance to set up my phone, I didnt buy it on a contract and i cant return it now.
Of course I am not willing to void the 2 year warranty on an expensive phone this new, no way!
The xperia boot loaders don't need to be unlocked to flash modded/custom roms if they come off a sony base rom so it's all good, better camera waterproof and a dev friendly company
so now then...Anyone want to buy this S4 from me?

You do realise that even if you didn't have the locked down Knox firmware, you'd still be voiding the warranty, regardless of if you used an app like Triangle Away, right? That's the risk everyone takes when rooting.

Umm rooting does not void your warranty. At least not here in Finland. The company is responsible for proving that the cause for say a hardware defect was indeed caused by the software and not an error on their part if the phone for some reason breaks down. They usually don't bother and just repair it under warranty.

there has been issues before on previous samsungs with usb connectors stopping charging, phone randomly switching off etc and who knows what might wear out on the S4 as its still pretty new, I'd rather not take the risk, also if you come to sell your phone and the buyer sees your warranty is void it will make your phone harder to re sell on

I've already accepted the risk. If something happens, it'd be very hypocritical of me to whine about something I knew could and did happen.
I know how easy it is to flash back to stock and hide evidence of it being rooted and customised. I've been doing this since the G1.
You won't find me opening a thread when I don't like something. Especially when it could have been prevented by doing a little research before buying the phone.

So, here's what happened. Phone got somehow exposed to water, even though all the flaps were closed. Just a week before that, i got my bootloader unlocked just to get root. After the exposure, phone was not working at all, so even though i had bootloader unlocked, i sent it to the repair centre here in Slovakia. Told them that it's not booting up, paper under the flap turned soft orange after water exposure even thought it was closed. I requested the vacuum test or whatever the test is called. After a week, i got my phone back with brand new casing and motherboard. So, here's my idea. Flap was propably faulty. and the test proved that. Even having the bootloader unlocked didn't stopped them from changing all the things not charging a single Eur. It's just a tip, but, can't we just after bricking our phones, damage our flaps and get it damaged by water? There's pretty big chance that it will be accepted as flap fault. Hope this helps you somehow.
Thats fraud.....that you are suggesting

My case wasnt a fraud. Actually, my flap really was propably overused. But still. Do you realize that this could get some people their 500eur phone back? And I s*it you not, i was scared to death of getting it to the SC for repair being afraid it wont be accepted cause of bootloader.
The point is: You are suggesting do fraud. If the phone is bricked and the bootloader is unlocked, then you want warranty... that's your problem. Face it..

If the phone is bricked, you can claim warranty anyway. No need to fake water damage.
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
I'm telling them to not be afraid to send it to SC just because they have bootloader unlocked. As you see, you can still get it repaired. If someone will do a fraud, it's their moral problem, not mine. I haven't done anything wrong myself, as it was the flap problem and the phone should be waterproof, and bootloader ain't changing nothing about that. I'm just trying to help some people who screwed up and now want a second chance. If they won't feel guilty about doing that, well, who's stopping them.
Unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do with water damage until its a temperature problem cos of over heating after root , leading to unglued back plate and ungluing is not our fault too. So cheers you got your phone replaced
After reading this page
I have a question
I have unlocked bootloader so when i send device to SC do i have to tell them that my bootloader is unlocked charge me please?
And if i have manufacturing defect then also i have to tell them my bootloader is unlocked please charge me

What the hell? Unlocked bootloader and damage due to a faulty flap are different things. So you're suggesting that claiming Phone warranty due to a faulty flap, unlocked BL or not, is fraud?

People like you guys are the reason phone manufacturers can get away with denying a perfectly valid waranty.

It suggests deliberately damaging the flaps on your phone then deliberately damaging the phone with water to make a warranty claim when the phone is bricked by user error.

Yes, I wrote that, although I haven't done it myself, so I can't really tell that it will work. But right now, I can guarantee you, that you will do the same thing, if your phone gets somehow bricked or damaged. Just because you dont want to pay another few hundreds. This may help a few people, so I though why not sharing my experience. If you just want to acuse me of fraud or something, don't even reply, because I haven't cheated sh*t.
