After trying to install ICS on my folio 100 using Rom manager, the update to ICS failed. Now the Folio 100 starts normally, but it doesn’t react on the buttons (power + vol +, 3x power vol 1). It just starts normally and after that I can use everything the normal way. Except when I change language from English into Nederlands, it’s not saved and after a restart of the system it’s back in English again, including the time zone which will be back to GMT +00.00 which is very annoying. The only way to get rid of this is to reinstall Android 3. By the way, factory reset doesn’t reset anything. It just restarts the Folio.
Getting into recovery from the menu or from Rom manager won’t do the trick either. The only thing I can use is ABD. But the command “flash_image recovery recovery.img” gives an error: “Error scanning partitions: No such file or directory”. And the file is in the system-directory. So this is a dead end for me too. I searched the forum and the internet, tried several possibilities, but now I’m stuck. I’ve considered opening the Folio and to start it without NAND connected, but I haven’t tried this, because I still hope for a software solution. What will happen when I manually delete of format the internal SD? Is there anyone who can help me to get my folio into recovery one way or another? Data is lost already, so that’s no problem anymore in this case.
Fastboot command is: fastboot flash recovery recovery.x.y.z.img ... not flash_image recovery.img (name of the recovery ofc)
Ics ? CM9? If so just read the tutorial on the topic related its simple as hell...
Also best way to start an new: fast boot erase Linux/recovery/system/cache/userdata one after another then fastboot reboot (remove USB before it reboot) check the folio say magic mismatch error then reboot pressing long on power(6sec) then the recovery command.

Thanks, but this isn't the solution. The main problem is that I can't get my Folio into fastboot/recovery mode anymore. After that updating is simple. Done it several times before. Do you have a suggestion how I can get it into fastboot/recovery mode. ADB wont work either.

Weird... hum im not home but i will check that( full keyboard is easier to answer xD)

I removed the external SD-card (to the right of the orange light). But that doesn't help. How can I remove the internal SD-card? I removed the back and the battery but I do not find a sd-card. Unmounting the internal SD-card doesn't do the trick either.
did You come in the recovery menu??
I think you flashed the ics withe the wrong recovery...
flash the old rom aigan (copy the update.zip in the sdcard and update the folio via recovery menu)
when that works, try aigan with fastboot to flash first boot, then recovery (but the right version!!)

I think you're absolutely rigth about flashing the wrong recovery. Problem is that I can't come into a recovery menu (power + vol up). Fastboot won't work either (3xpower + vol up). I've used both before, so the configuration on my pc is right. Now al I have to do is boot into recovery or into fastboot. That's my problem, flashing with the working Honeycomb-version is no problem at al when I get into the recovery menu. Do you no what happens if I delete the complete /system/-directory on my folio? Is that an option to force the tab into recovery?
...and how want you delete the complete sys? do you mean with root explorer in rw-option?? thats very dangerous...can't you flash with rom manager?

I can access the internal sd-card using ADB. This way I should be able to delete/move/copy files. After puting the system-partionion in RW-state. In Adb shell the command "flash_image recover recover.img" gives an error "erros scanning partitions: No such file or directory". The image files exists! So I'm stuck there too.
I tried to use rommanager. It work once when i was installing ICS. After this it won't boot into recovery. When I use "Flash clockworkmod recovery" in Rommanager v5.0.0.6 i only get the following phone models: Advent Vega, Elocity A7, LG/T-mobile G2X, LGE Optimus 2x, Motorolo XOOM and Viewsonic Gtablet (smb_a1002) - bootloader 1.1. I tried all the phone models, but all they do is reboot the tablet. No choice will boot into recovery. Also tried clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.4 but also no succes.
I do not know how to install clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 for Folio. I only can find an option to install it using recovery menu or fastboot. And both won't work on my tablet.
and you have put the recover.img file in the fastboot directory?

the fastbootdirectory is in android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
There is the fastboot.exe too.
Put the two files in that directory, connect yout folio via usb in fastboot modus with your pc or laptop, make the described commands at windows shell.

Still the main problem is that I can't put my folio into fastbootmode via usb.
so far only 2 things prevent my folio to go into fastboot: power cord and/or mini usb unplugged.
also you talk about removing internal SD but you know what they reffere as internal SD is : a chip soldered on the motherboard?Right?
one more thing lets make it clear: fasboot directory isnt fixed, for the sake of accessibility you can put it like me C:\tools_X
also renaming recovery5.0.0.4.img (the one from nopy) into recoveryA.img (i wonder if your error come because you write the wrong commande or if its because of recover.img instead of the right name for the file.)
last option before saying: you F***ed up your tablet if nothing mentioned above works
also side note: every answer from you after a recommendation from a user : contain a new error \\\ important your problem come from : not being able to go into fastboot mode or not being able to flash the recovery via fastboot (either due to : you putting the recovery img not in the right directory or input the wrong command) its important since 1st one is prolly f.u.b.a.r and the second one is recoverable by reading and doing step by step whats explain *exactely what is explain*
the only right command is : "fastboot flash recovery *name of the recovery*.img" and not Flash_recover recover.img as you write it 2 time now

Thanks for your help,
the fastboot command fastboot flash recovery......... doesn't work. My pc keeps waiting for the device. Which is to be expected while i can't boot my folio into fastboot-mode. The command i used before is in adb shell.
Can you tell me where to put recovery.img exactly on my folio? And what i should do after i,ve put it there. I can use a root-explorer on my folio and i can use adb push ...... to move or copy files. Also mounting system in rw-mode is no problem anymore. My folio is rooted and i can use it as root or su in adb-shell.

Don't put the recovery.img into the folio! Copy it to your pc. In the folder where the fastboot.exe is. Then start your folio an go in the fastboot modus (power and three times volume up)
Connect your folio via mini-usb with your pc and open a windows shell(cmd).
Now type
fastboot erase recovery

Hello people
I think my HTC Hero is what you call softbricked.
When I hold Home + Power on to go to recovery mode I get this single line of text:
Build : RA-hero-v1.5.2
If I hold Home and press power on the text disappears leaving an all black screen. Pressing home + power on again brings the text back.
When I boot normally it just keeps saying "Hero"
I think I did a full wipe, installed VillainROM 6.0.0 and then did a OTA update to VillainROM 6.1.0. I did notice the latest rom being rather slow and hanging sometimes. Then three days ago it froze. I pulled the battery and when I put it back in I was left with what I've described above.
Can't access VillainROM's official website
Another frustrating thing is that w w w. villainrom .co .uk has seemed down to me this whole softbrick-period. But they've announced a new version and no one have commented on their site being down. Apparently I'm the only one who can't access it.
Vol. down + power on
I've never used this boot mode. But it's the only one which seems to work.
HBOOT says Sd checking and all the tests results in:
No image! or No image or wrong image!
FASTBOOT just gives a red box with the white text FASTBOOT in it.
What can i do?
I did a nandroid backup before installing VillainROM 6.0.0 but I can't access recovery mode.
I would like to install the official 1.5 RUU-rom but HTC Sync can't find my phone, neither can adb shell.
I can insert the SD card in my computer and put an update.zip file in the root. Is this a solution? I don't know how to make the phone boot the update.zip file or how this works.
Sorry for this long post. I've been searching the web ever since thursday without any luck. So now I'm just putting all I've experienced out.
I hope someone can help me. I would be very glad
Alright, if you can get to the fastboot screen, this is what you should do:
Plug your hero in fastboot mode into a computer with the latest android sdk installed.
DL the latest recovery for your device: I don't think I can post links yet so search the forum for Amon RA's recovery (1.6.2) and place it in the tools folder of the sdk.
Then:
Open a command prompt (or terminal for linux, idk for mac)
Go to the tools folder with cd
(./)fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
(./ is for linux ^^,) And that should normally work
From there your best bet is to use Nandroid to recover one of your backups.
Thank you for your response
But I got an error:
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
downloading 'boot.img' ... FAILED (remote: not allow)
finished. total time: 0.010s

I've also tried this but it resulted in: error: device not found
I've noticed how my phone says "fastboot usb" when connected to my computer.

Yes, I have tried booting without SD card and without simcard aswell. My simcard is now in a good old Nokia 3310
I have updated the radio earlier
A while ago I updated the radio to this version: 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26
Is that an android 2.1-radio? And is that what's causing "not allow" when running fastboot flash?
What recovery image would I then be allowed to flash? An official one?
Or is it my bootloader (that's SPL, right?) that needs to be flashed to a version that allows the fastboot flashing?
I haven't been able to find a guide on flashing SPL on HTC Hero.
Is this the way to go?
Still need help or is this now sorted?....
It's now working
My phone is now working. I did the following:
1. Connected my phone to a computer with HTC Sync and drivers installed.
2. Started the bootloader on my phone (vol. down + power on, hold until bootloader starts).
3. Pressed back to start fastboot. It said fastboot usb because it was connected to my computer.
4. I tried to install an official 1.5 RUU rom. The phone responded and began the process. It cleared/deleted some caches/files or something. But then my computer and my phone said that the ROM installation had failed and that I should find the right rom.
5. Somehow this cleaned up the phone so I now could boot in recovery mode as I used to (I didn't try a normal boot, so can't say if that worked). I did a full wipe and flashed a custom rom (not VillainROM 6.0.0 ).
Even though VillainROM has made me sad I will now go for VillainROM 10.
Wish me luck
And thanks for your responses.
Brilliant. Just edit the title of your thread to put [SOLVED] on.

Hello everyone, been a lurker for some time, but have never needed to post before until today. I'm accustomed to rooting and installing custom roms but I've never had anywhere close to as much difficulty as Im having with this tf201. Heres the situation:
Not sure if you'd call this bricked, as I have total access to fastboot, adb, and CWM Recovery (version 5.8.3.4 touch btw). However my most recent attempt ended with totally wiping from the volume down+power menu (whatever its called). I can not turn the tablet off, as it automatically boots to the asus splash screen (and goes no further, naturally). It is unlocked, and my drivers do work (both fastboot and adb recognize the device), but I can not flash or push anything to the sdcard (with adb its a protocol failure, with fastboot I get "sending zip....OKAY writing zip....FAILED [remote : [FileOperationFailed]]) Don't know if it needs to be said, but I also can't simply drop the file on the sd card as if it were a media storage device as "my computer" does not recognize that it is connected (Oh I am using the naked universal drivers from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998650 )
So yeah, Im at a loss as it seems like no one has had this particular problem before (also my connector cable works fine, so its not that). Any help would, of course, be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: On the tablet after trying to flash with fastboot it returns "Failed to process command flash:zip error (0x30003)"
Really? Not a single person has any idea? Could really use some help here...

You do not flash zips with fastboot.
First of all tell me where your "NVIDIA" logo is when you first power on, bottom center or bottom right?
The nvidia logo is in the bottom center of the "EEE PC Splash"
This is going to sound stupid, but did you verify the MD5 before you tried to flash it?

You are still on the ICS bootloader if NVIDIA is bottom center.
Go here http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/93 and follow the instructions for "Download - Recovery Image / Fastboot Method (using ICS or JB Asus bootloader)"
You will need to get the ICS blob file. Never flash the wrong recovery for what bootloader you are on or you can brick your device.
If you get it working and you want to upgrade to Jellybean bootloader there is instructions in post 2 of the Hairybean Rom thread. "Upgrade instructions for ICS"
edit.. to make it a bit easier for you.
Get this file http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf201/openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf201-ICS.blob
Rename it to twrp.blob
Place the twrp.blob in the same folder as your fastboot exe
Go into fastboot and type
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob
Wait for it to finish and then type
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
see if that works.
Damn, I had a feeling it was the bootloader issue that I messed up. I went searching all over for how to find out which one I had once I realized my potential mistake. Gonna give these steps a try
I just tried all your steps, twrp is on there and I was able to push both cm10 and gapps onto the tablet, but now the zips I pushed to the sd card arent showing up in TWRP...

If you now have twrp on there you dont need to push a file. Place the file on an external SD card on the root and plug it in before starting prime.
When going into TWRP go into install and select external SD. Pick your rom and then flash it.

Hey sorry but I am posting this because even after a lot of research I couldn't find a proper solution to this problem....
I am on twrp recovery version 2.1.3 and to upgrade to 2.5.0.0 I used the goo.im app but even after the message showing that recovery was flashed successfully, when I reboot into recovery I still see the 2.1.3 twrp only....
So I tried flashing it with terminal emulator but it didn't work..... This error shows up every time....
failed scanning partitions failed with error : - 1
I tried putting the .img file in the root folder as well but it didn't work.... I tried naming the root of sdcard as storage/emulated/legacy, storage/emulated/0, /sdcard, etc but it keeps on giving this error every single time!
Nowhere could I find a solution for this problem so please please PLEASE! HELP!

Hi,
You may be able to wipe your tears .This worked for me on the Huawei Ascend y300 which was rooted and had its bootloader unlocked first. Since I got a similar error to you using flash_image these steps might work for you too:
disconnect usb cable from phone
Boot into the bootloader mode (usually power and volume down).
reattach usb cable to phone
Download fastboot
get a dos prompt
navigate to the fastboot directory
do these commands followed by pressing enter:
fastboot devices
(your device should be listed)
copy and paste your recovery.img into the fastboot folder in windows.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot.
Now make sure your phone boots normally.
Now power it off. Hold down volume up while pressing power, it should put you in your custom recovery.

it fails with this:

Then I tried following perpe's advice but both methods did not work
Download the update zip for your device and sku from ASUS. Unpack it once, there should be a second zip, try to flash it with
fastboot update name-of-your.zip
if this doesn't wotk, then copy the update zip to an external sd card. Your sd card should be formated in far32. Place the card into the tablets sd card. Press Volume UP + Power to boot it into the bootloader, it should flash it automatically, if not look if yor bootloader has a menu entry "sd download..." select it with the volume keys and power.

When booting into recovery mode, I get the dead android robot icon, regardless of whether the .zip file is on the SD card or not. I've also tried making a system.img file out of the system folder from the extracted zip file and flashing that with fastboot flash system system.img and fastboot flash boot boot.img, but that didn't work either.
Any kind soul have advice on how to make use of the official Asus OTA .zip file, or perhaps be able to supply some .img backups for me to make use of?
EDIT
Found out that to get the recovery menu to show up, you have to hold the power button and press volume up. I thought that the menu would show up automatically so I got confused. ADB sideloaded the Asus OTA .zip and everything is back to normal

download the OTA zip from the asus website
unzip once, you should have another zip
power on the tablet while holding volume up to boot into recovery mode
after the android robot shows up, hold volume up and press the power button to get the recovery menu to show
install the zip using adb sideload
using adb sideload will differ depending on what OS you're using. you can google to find out more specific instructions for that because it's a little more work to get it for windows. for OSX if you have homebrew, you can just 'brew install android' and it will install all the android tools for you.
once you have adb installed, in the terminal type 'adb sideload pathname_of_zip.zip' and it will restore your device to factory settings
I had the same problem and your trick saved me from sending it back. I am not sure if i would have send it back as I have yet to brick something since I am playing with android back in the days of Viewsonic gtablet. We are stuck with 4.2.

You have to download adb or android sdk, or google how to install adb. Once you have installed the adb, hold the power button, and either Volume UP or down to put tablet into bootlfash recovery mode. Once you have it in recovery mode, push volume up or down to get into true recovery mode.
There you would see adb sideload.
Download US or WWW files from Asus website, and unzip the file into ADB directory or whatever path. then type adb sideload name of the file.
Please read the 1st post by OP on this thread twice or three times, and it tells you how to get your tablet back from brink.

Got it. Done! the tablet is running again, but I encounter another issue
I have no permission to write internal sd.
I cant touch internal, some apps that require writing don't work (play store, camera, etc) I cant root, unlock or do anything that require w permissions.
Any way to fix that?
Or I have to wait for a CWM and rom image ?

You can download king's root or something which is a window app, and it does give your tablet root. I am not exactly sure about the name, but would let you know once I have access to my laptop.

ASUS MEMO PAD FHD10 ME302KL frozen logo screen
I have problem with my asus memo pad 10. It just shows asus logo startup screen and nothing more and it have no reaction with anything I do.
Please help!
I can't boot into recovery mode, but there is no problem to boot into fastboot mode!
Could anyone provide stock recovery file or link? Then I can flash recovery and do the adb sideload.
Thanks!!
Hi everybody,
Sorry if my post already exists and if my english is bad but i really need help...
I tried to root my honor 7 so first i unlocked bootloader successfuly, i installed TWRP too and everything seemed work very good until last step where my phone didn't boot, i stayed stuck in boot logo... Then I done a factory reset with wipe cache, dalvik, data etc...
Now the only things i'm able to do are boot on recovery mode, eRecovery and on fastboot&rescue mode. I lost adb and fastboot and i'm not able to acess to the phone so i can't put a rom on the phone to install it...
If anyone could help me it would be very nice because I'm going crazy. Thank you !
My phone was up-to-date, i can't remember witch firmware i had but i think it was Android 6.0.1

If you have fastboot you can use Huawei update extractor to extract UPDATE.APP and flash boot.img and system.img directly to your device

Thank you for your reply. I'm able to enter in fastboot, i extracted boot.img and system.img from UPDATE.APP but i don't know what you mean by flash them because i have no link between the phone and the computer. I can't write on the phone, HiSuite tells that the phone is disconnected and explorer doesn't display the phone neither...

how can u flash with fastboot while no connection to pc (as u said earlier)
if u did manage to connect to pc, please share how
thanks in advance
I'm not sure I understand the question but i'll try to explain.
I was not able to connect to PC apart with fastboot (reboot in fastboot mode and connect to PC). Once done, just open a terminal and type "fastboot flash boot <boot image file name>.img" then do the same with IMG (as said in this page .
Hope it will help you !

Read this carefully, this will restore youre phone:
1*.)No matter what youve done with this phone it will be cleanly installed like its fresh new, cause i had couple of problems and this method worked
1.)Download the latest b396 firmware
2.)format youre SD card with basic settings via Windows ( if you have a usb stick to connect youre SD card to computer like i do, if you cant connect youre SD card to computer, use another smartphone and format youre SD card with basic settings)- simply talking just format youre SD card
3.)create --->>>dload<<<--- folder like i wrote down without the --->>><<<--- stuff on youre SD card
4.)paste the update.app file to the dload folder
5.)insert youre SD card to phone
6.)this is the moment of truth hold down volume + & - key and power key all in once until the emui logo appears WARNING: remove all keys after logo appearing WARNING: if the logo doesnt appear even after 30sec. keep still holding until the logo appears
***If you get somekind of error i can help, if it worked youre a lucky guy
