I got my tablet just the other day and was really looking forward to using it.
I fiddled with the stock for a few seconds, but coming from a TF101 with 4.4 through KatKiss, there was no way I was going to deal with all the ugly ASUS UI and - more importantly - the lack of immersive mode. So right away, I downloaded CROMBi-kk (the release on 4/30 - it was quite nice seeing a ROM updated the very day I decided to install it) and set about getting to work.
I went with a pretty lightweight install. Mostly default settings/Nexus-like stock stuff, turned off most of the tweaks and didn't have it install almost any apps by default. Worked great for the first day. But I was having an issue with Google Calendar simply not having a sync adapter under my account settings, and rather than try and repair it I thought I'd first try re-flashing with Google Calendar installed in AROMA.
Ever since, no matter what I do, if I leave my tablet to idle it will freeze. It takes very little idle time - I'd estimate around 30-40s. So long as I keep touching and pressing buttons, it will keep running great, but once I set it down it freezes and can only be affected by holding the power to force a reboot. Whatever the image on the screen was will sit there doing nothing, and stay that way no matter how long I leave it.
I tried changing the kernel with the CROMBi-kk's installer. It tried the CM11 nightly, as well. Nothing I do is affecting the issue.
Right now, I'm trying to put on CROMi-X 6.1 to see if downgrading from KitKat fixes the issue, but this is very frustrating - it was working just fine before with just a calendar issue!
Didn't see any similar issues. Anyone have any ideas for what I can try? I didn't even make a nandroid of the first working install of CROMBi-kk because it was less than 12 hours flashed and I had no reason to expect any issues.

I flashed the ASUS kernel and installed CROMi-X 6.1 and it fixed nothing. So long as the screen is off, it doesn't seem to be a problem, but now it will go black and reboot if left idle for the same ~30-40s.
edit: if I abort any mobile dock upgrades (or don't start them), it seems to stay stable.
Sounds like you are on the wrong bootloader? What number are you on?

Shoot, you're right. 10.26.1.7. And now I see all the threads others have posted doing the same thing. I've really screwed the pooch. All this stuff reminds me how much I love my Nexus 5.
So now I just need to follow the instructions in this thread to get myself where I need to be, it looks like. But sadly, all the links are dead...
The link to the US and WW stock firmware both lead to a "Sorry, the file you have requested does not exist." Google Drive page, and the http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3223 link to the stock recovery leads to a 502 Bad Gateway.
Any chance I could ask one more favor of you - pointing me to some maintained download links?

I got that one after some fight with their D/L servers, I don't believe the stock recovery.img I need is part of that firmware.
Did I just miss it?

I am on the *.18 bootloader now. For posterity, here's exactly what I did in the simplest guide I can write up.
Download stock recovery.img from http://droidbasement.com/asus/tf701t/stock/
Place stock recovery.img into my fastboot.exe folder
Downloaded SD update from ASUS support. This probably varies by SKU, so hopefully you know if you are US/TW/CN/WW http://www.asus.com/us/Tablets_Mobile/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF701T/HelpDesk_Download/
Unzipped the SD update and put it on the root of a MicroSD card
Put the MicroSD in the tablet
Reboot tablet to Bootloader mode and connect to my computer through USB
From a command prompt in the fastboot.exe folder,
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
The tablet boots to stock recovery and the Android appears showing an update is in progress. Done!

I tried that and it messed up my TF701..The speaker is shot and I tried putting UL-K00C-US-10.26.1.18-user.zip in my SD card and went to RCK and the device comes back with an error...I want to just go back to stock to fix the problem I am having.

Read MilesWilford's post carefully!
He did not flash the stock recovery to the tablet, he booted it in fastboot and since he had the firmware on the microSD, it recognized it and flashed it.

This should return your phone to a completely stock state in case you want to grab an OTA update or return the phone.
Instructions:
1) Download update-thrill-stock-rom-rooted.zip and place it on your SD card.
2) Power off your phone.
3) With the phone powered off, hold the volume down button, the 3D button, and the power button until you see the LG logo and then release. This should boot you into CWM.
4) Select "wipe data/factory reset".
5) Select "install zip from sdcard" and navigate to and select update-thrill-stock-rom.zip.
6) When it finishes flashing, select "reboot system now".
7) Download recovery.backup and place it on you internal SD card.
8) Run these adb commands:
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.backup of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096
Code:
rm /sdcard/recovery.backup
Code:
reboot
9) Finally, unroot using SuperOneClick and you should be completely stock.

Once I get this new version up you can boot into CWM and push it to your phone using the following adb command. Then proceed from step 4.
Code:
adb push update-thrill-stock-rom-rooted.zip /sdcard
edit: Crap, couldn't get it uploaded in time. Have to run to an appointment. Will upload a little later.

True...but I hate buyers remorse
I am going to hold out for LTE and the bigger screen
This Samsung friend of mine has one now, and he was spot on with the release date he gave me 2 months ago...so I'd say the Celox could be in hand within 2 months for sure. Hoping to play with the Test model he has soon (and get a release date)
Still may keep the thrill though. With your ROM this thing is pretty nifty...plus we have other upgrades available on our lines so....
but to stay on topic...I leave early today and will try out whatever you get going later today

Thanks GTG your the man Back to stock brotha
Thanks a lot I like this phone but I am not sure if I got lemon or what , Playing pandora radio it squeals all the time no matter what rom I use, the music on music player skips all the time too. I sometimes have to push icons 3 or 4 times to get them to register my touch. and the home row icons I cannot even use them half the time because they don't even do anything when I touch them. I think there might be a problem with the screen. But that is not all that is wrong. I have the phone freeze for 5 to 10 seconds at a time a whole lot and have to reboot. Just to many problems for me, so I really need to go back to stock to get a new phone. I will prob just get a galaxy SII instead. I sure did like recording in 3d my 6 year old playing sports and such was cool , then watching it on our 73 inch 3d tv she loved it.
I'm confused now. what is best thing to do flash back stock rom or keep the custom rom.

Unless you have a reason to such as wanting to return the phone or when there is an update coming, I would keep the custom ROM.

Yeah, I would think you definitely need to flash stock recovery before updating. You might as well unroot while you're at it because that screws up updates on some phones too.
Ok Back to stock everything work perfect ............ waiting for updates
Unless you have heard of the update coming within the next day or two, I am going to keep Thriller on mine until I hear otherwise. No reason to flash back until the update is released.
thank you for this! worked wonderfully
Trouble pushing recovery.backup
Thanks for the information!
For some reason when I try the thing after the su command it gives me that I cannot open the file for write. I have debugging mode turned on.
Can someone help?
EDIT: Nevermind, needed to update to the latest superuser
This is an update on a previous post, this time however you don't have to sieve through Chinese websites to get them....i have spent time to get them for you!
This Will revert your HTC Salsa to Stock
By using these you will wipe everything you have done. Recovery will be wiped, unknown about lock/unlocked boot-loader as i haven't attempted this with unlocked boot-loader before as.i had s-off at the time.
You do this at your own risk, i take no responsibility at all for anything that may or may not happen lol
Instructions for use.
HTC SYNC installed but not running, you want the cable driver mainly.
Instead of following on screen instruction via the RUU, set your phone into fastboot mode yourself then activate/run the RUU.exe you require, i would suggest run as administrator (right click on application)
This will take some time to install, i did it on 3rd attempt, first 2 were relying on the RUU to boot the phone for me...3rd i booted into fastboot/bootloader myself and away it went.
if for any reason it doesn't respond to you or it doesn't install stock or freezes, whip out the battery and do it all again!
Below are the RUU's please find the correct region your in and download accordingly. EU RUU is a common one if the others don't work. all roms are based of this version.
RUU_Icon_G_HTCCN_CHS_1.24.1400.4_Radio_47.14.35.3030H_7.47.35.17_release_204455_signed.exe

as the link in the lower post suggested you can also try this
*this wasn't provided by me please don't blame me if anything goes wrong*
1. Download your RUU
2. Extract and copy the system.img AND boot.img to the same directory as your fastboot tools "C:/fastboottools" ( make sure to copy both files )
3. Enter the fastboot mode on your phone by pressing volume down + power button after the device has been turned off.
4. Choose fastboot on the phone by pressing power button, and then connect your phone to your PC
5. Using fastboot tools, open the Command prompt and navigate to "C:\fastboottools" then run this command on cmd: "fastboot flash system system.img"
6. Dont reboot, Using fastboot tools, run this command on cmd: "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
( The two commands in step 5 and 6 are different, make sure to type each one correctly and to do them straight after each other )
7. Reboot phone. let it boot up, you will still get bootloop or error message.
8. Take out the battery.
9. Boot back into bootloader ( Volume down + power ).
10. Now choose recovery.
11. Phone should now reboot itself and bam, all should now work fine.
Well it seems a lot of you shadows hiding away wanted these lol, as the downloads in 1 day surprised me lol.

I managed to revert back to stock using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631121
Now I am running 2.3.3
Now i just want to update to 2.3.5 if possible, haven't been able to get OTA updates. Do you know how i can go about it?
CWM recovery is still intact.
Thanks
The salsa will never have 2.3.5 ota. HTC stopped at 2.3.3 and discontinued updates for us. well the stopped producing the salsa and totally dropped it.
that's why we have 2.3.5 roms that are not meant for us...ie no FB button that works correctly, no mirror or front facing camera.
and this is probably why noone is still running stock roms anymore

getting error 155 again and again. Used RUU_Europe, RUU_UK, RUU_Asia_WWE, RU_Asia_India. Rebooted to the fastboot screen myself but the RUU takes over from the white screen and fastboot menu and goes into the black screen with HTC written. Tried letting RUU boot itself but still same error.
EDIT:
I have previously unlocked bootloader to gain Root Access since I had S-ON on my device. Need help urgently. Can I revert back to a locked Bootloader or anything ?
Now I have relocked the bootloader and tried the Europe Salsa RUU.... It is giving me Error 140 now claiming the bootloader version is invalid.
HBOOT is updated and I notice that the Radio version mentioned on Fastboot Bootloader screen is different than mentioned in the RUU.

in all fairness mate, i can't help on this. these guides were provided by others and has been known to work for us. i have not tried this and will not be trying this either as i have no desire to revert. what i do mention in all rom threads is this. take a backup of your stock rom in recovery before you tamper or change anything, this way you can revert straight back to your stock rom, no questions asked.
i would think though you may not have either installed correctly or its the wrong ruu, but i can't tell

you won't get a zip version ruu only stock as i listed rom wise. now did you lock the bootloader before trying to add stock back on?
if you did there's part of your problem.
unlock it again, go find stock.zip in stock rom thread in android development section and flash it....then lock the bootloader. if you lock the loader again please note root etc won't work/function correctly again. to have any root privilege's you require either s-off or unlocked bootloader.

tends to be normal that, but just to let you know...i have only ever reset using the ruu once before and it took along time to do it! since then ive never gone back. ive flashed stock.zip which gave me back stock...but its not for me.
so flash my stock.zip nothing else.
if it is just Facebook your having issues with then don't just swap roms or go back to stock, it won't help, it will probably make it worse to be honest. im using a new black Facebook as i hosted in the thread in android apps section and have no problems with it.
just make sure you have Facebook installed and moved to sd only.

no way to downgrade sorry.
it has been noted elsewhere that this Facebook issue tends to fail when its installed on normal internal memory or as an update on-top of the system Facebook already installed.
you can tell if this is the case by going into link2sd and looking at Facebook.apk, it may have a green updated next to it. you can remove this update by uninstalling it.
i don't have this problem as it works fine on CM7.
you can try and uninstall the Facebook you have, go into recovery wipe cache/dalvik and reboot, apparently this removes all traces it was there.
reboot and install Facebook 2.0 or black which ever.
using link2sd move it to the sdcard and then try it.
i am gonna try this on other roms when i can to see if this works or not.

UPDATE: My hosting I had for XDA related work expired, so I re-uploaded everything here: http://www.mods4cars.com/pub/xda
Here's the new Verizon OTA packaged up as a full CWM flashable ROM. Wiping should not be necessary if you are coming from our last ICS ROM (LP10).
This is meant for those who have CWM installed and for those who modified their system to the point that the OTA does not work because it expects certain files.
If you are on full stock (rooted) ICS LP10 and are not getting the OTA update the regular way, you can look here for a way to manually install it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932597&page=26
The rom is pre-rooted. After installing, run super-su and let it check for binary updates. Also a cached copy of su for restoring with Voodoo OTA rootkeeper is included (for extra safety).
Part1: The ROM
Install with CWM
http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_ICS-LP11_i815.zip
Part2: The MODEM
Flash with ODIN in PHONE section
http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_ICS-LP11_i815_modem.tar
Part3 (optional): Stock Recovery
If you want to be full stock afterwards, flash with ODIN in PDA section
http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_ICS-LP11_i815_recovery.tar
Part4 (optional): Stock SBL
If you did all 3 parts above and want to be able to receive future Verizon OTA's flash this in ODIN in BOOTLOADER section
http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_ICS-LP11_i815_sbl.tar
Enjoy
Many thanks!
Thanks Electron. You da man for us i815 owners.
Many thanks! I just decided to go back to stock for stability reasons. Your method works perfectly.
I don't know where many of us i815 users would be without your help. Thanks again man!

Did you have lots of apps installed? I just realized it's doing a run_program("/tmp/fsck.ext4", "-Dfy", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10");
on the data partition. If that partition is full with lots of files then the check might take a while. The status bar doesn't move while this command is executing. I never tried it on a "full" partition! A freshly wiped data partition is checked in 2 seconds

Yeah, I had about 100 apps installed. In any case, I tried it again through CWM. When it did the check this time, it took about 10 secs. So the first one must've been a hiccup or something. I was able to flash ROM and then radios through ODIN, so I think I'm good. I looked at the files on the internal storage and the SD card and they are still there, so I'm assuming that I'm good. Anything else to check or are there any log files that you want me to try to grab for you? Thanks again.

Hmm ok, definitely good to hear that it ran through the 2nd time. Maybe I should kick the FS checks out. They are still left over from last time where we had all those partition problems...
If you want, go check in the /cache dir for any log files left by CWM, maybe there's something in there.
Btw. Thank you for the generous donation! It is very much appreciated

Also, regarding the current ROM, I really curious about the supposed batt life increases. My tab at this point is barely getting 4-5 hours screen time with it set fairly dim. Is that normal or should I be getting more that that? I don't suppose that a ROM update will help with screen time much, but just curious to hear what others are getting.
Update was painless

My battery life is just shy of 8 hours with 40% brightness, wifi and 4G on. GPS off. This is better than LP10.
The first step went flawlessly using TWRP. I'll flash the LP11 modem.bin tonight using Odin.

I have never tried TWRP on this tab. What's the current version for our i815? Does it work well? I assume just like CWM it doesn't accept stock OTAs though, does it?
I still keep going back to stock recovery in order to accept OTAs (which never come for me haha and I end up updating manually!)

It was hard to flash (the apk method didn't work, I had to use Odin -- which really is no big deal, just scary for some). In any event, I'm running 2.3.10 available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809295
I love TWRP... so much easier than fumbling with the volume and power buttons.
Never tested with OTA because I rely on you! :good:
I like TWRP but wish it could mount my encrypted /data partition like it could for my Nexus 7.

Did you wipe data/cache? Coming from CM10 you definitely need to do a clean install. You can simply flash the "wipe" version of the LP10 rom first, then upgrade to the LP11

Okay, so now we have 3 Atrix HD's in the house and except for the unremoveable battery thing, and the short "battery life" when actively using it, I'd say we pretty much love them. However, I decided to remove some apps, etc. and managed to get my messages, camera and gallery to the "not working" and basically non-existent point. Now on startup I'm getting the Android is Updating message with the never-ending swirl of Starting Apps... I'm positive I've waited long enough as I set it down and went back to bed just to wake up and still see it.
Info - phone IS rooted
running the "jellybean" update
Unfortuanately a couple weeks ago, I UNCHECKED the sync photots for both facebook and gmail, so there are pictures I really don't want to lose.....
I'm definitely not a "pro" like lots of them up here, but am capable of following directions. I'm pretty sure I have to "unroot" my phone via USB/SD card through my laptop....Any help would be greatly appreciated... and the more specific the directions the better!! :cyclops: LOL... Thanks so much.

Sounds like you deleted a critical OS file. You need to flash back to stock again. Is your boot loader locked or unlocked?

Hey, my son and I are wondering since it's already running 4.1.1 and we can't downgrade, what about flashing a custom rom? Will that flash a totally complete, full home page and everything?? Just a thought.
While trying to search for answers I came across a "xoom forums??" post with a tablet that was doing exactly the same thing....multiple people had that problem, but doesn't seem to have been answered...... not sure if I'm suppose to post links to that or not, but at least I know I'm not alone.....
If you're rooted, than I'm assuming ADB debugging is on. You should be able to unlock your boot loader and load CWM recovery. From there you can wipe cache and dalvik cache. If that doesn't help, you can reflash a stock ROM zip from Skeevys thread. Flashing a zip won't touch your SD card
There is official 4.1.1 available...you can try flashing that...you dont need to downgrade.
Okay, my son installed safetystrap (whatever that is...lol) and when you click Operating system, it says "there is no operating system installed are you sure you want to reboot????
Is this fixable?
Note: We have two other identical Atrix HD's in the house if that helps for any reason.....
Well that's what we are trying to figure out is how to install OS...Lol..

LOL....okay, so do yoiu see why my son says I'm not "ALLOWED" to have a rooted phone if this happens again..... Guess I was just glad to SEE it written out, so that it's a little more def what's going on - but I'm sure everyone up here (except me) already knew that!!!
He's not around today, so my phone is just "sitting" saying "creating rom slot" but never gets off that screen. The good thing is that we can see it's actually charging and we weren't sure before....... Does this sound like something that will eventually be repairable??
You have a soft brick...yes it is fixable...
Okay, thought I had already posted this before but I guess I never hit the submit ....
Before safety strap was installed, we could get the phone (minus the homescreen and os) to come on....the settings, wifi etc.....No we can't seem to get to that point with the safetystrap on. It just goes completely blank and won't let safestrap connect to the computer via usb.
Apparently there is also no way to remove SS without an opperating system. This doesn't sound promising.....ugggg..... I so want my phone back.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OK dude. Follow my instructions.
Hold down power and both volume buttons all at once until the phone screen turns black, then continue holding the volume buttons. You will get a menu. Go to AP fastboot mode using the volume down button, select it with the volume up button. Plug your phone into your computer with a data cable. Download RSD lite and the MOTOROLA drivers from the MOTOROLA website. Install both. Download the 4.1.1 sbf file for your phone, there is a thread for it here in the AHD forum. Its a zip file, extract it to your desktop. Open RSD lite, click the browse for file button, select the XML file inside the folder you just unzipped. Hit flash. If you get any errors, let me know I'll send you a different XML file with the getvar lines removed.
Okay, will get it started..... Thanks so much. My son has been working on this for hours and hours. You have no idea how much I appreciate this place and everyone who helps out!! You guys rock! Will let you know what we get.

Update 12/17/2015: This is now official since Sprint has announced the release.
Well, you got it here before even it was announced. M has come to our G4 and you can flash it now using this TOT.
Read the second post for further information on how to downgrade and use LGUP. Once you're on ZV9 it's the only way to downgrade and should be your preferred flash method.
And with that said, here's the fluffy Marshmallow goodness!.
If you need the steps, use them as provided by Autoprime here.
Enjoy!
<LINK REMOVED>
Happy holidays everyone!
very nice
OK so lets do an overview of how to flash TOTs from now on. Steps below will allow you to flash ZV9 (or higher) and also downgrade back to ZV6. Don't flash ZV5 TOT if you're on ZV6 or higher! ZV5 is qfuse v1.. ZV6 and ZV9 are qfuse v2. You can only flash equal or higher qfuse versions... NEVER lower. I mean, technically you can flash ZV5... but you will not be able to boot the phone after doing so.
Thanks to some testing from @Awesomeslayerg I think we've worked out all the kinks. I don't have a Sprint G4, so without him the specific details laid out below would not have come so quickly.
1. Download both LGUP msi files HERE and install them on your PC.
2. Boot your phone into Download Mode [Remove USB cable in phone. Power off phone. Hold Volume Up then plug in USB cable]
3. Open LGUP, select your phone model. If it says unknown, disconnect phone/reopen LGUP and try again.
4. With LGUP now opened, select the "Upgrade" option. Then below that.. select the TOT you wish to flash then hit START.
5. That's it! Just wait for it to finish flashing. LGUP makes things quite simple. You don't even have to use COM port 41 any more. Always use the upgrade option.. even when downgrading.
If LGUP doesn't wipe your data and you'd prefer to have it wiped for some reason or another... simply boot into stock recovery after the TOT flash and run a factory reset.
If you have ignored the steps above and decided to use the old "LG Flash" method, forgot to check off "Board DL" and are now stuck on the "2" screen..
1. Use LGUP to flash ZV6 and get stuck at blue screen with red "2".
2. Power off phone and close LGUP.
3. Boot into Download Mode again.
4. This time.. instead of using LGUP.. use the original LG Flash method HERE.
5. Make sure you set LG Flash to use "Board DL" at the bottom of the screen where u select DLL and TOT.
6. Should be able to flash either ZV6 or ZV9 using LG Flash (with Board DL option).
LGUP FTW! :victory:
would anybody be willing to DD a backup of the system and modem and kernel (boot) partition? is 6.0 root able?
if we can get backups we can just flash those three and should be good...
So as of now, there is no OTA zip to install via recovery?
I can't wait!
awwwweesome!

No OTA if it's not an official build. AFAIK there is no mention of this anywhere... except here.
Root
I sent a pm to chainfire i think there may be a way to root this from within the tot with some modifying.
I should've waited. The file flashed the first time and then my phone rebooted. Now I'm just stuck on a factory reset 2 screen.
I've tried multiple times to flash it again and it just leads to download failed in the LG Flash Tool.
Am I screwed, for lack of a better word?

When did it give you that error? Did the phone reboot into miniOS? If you do get into miniOS you'll be fine. I also get the error, but only after rebooting after the initial flash.
Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk
I get to the miniOS just fine. The error shows up anytime I try to flash the TOT and DLL. I tried a different computer and it did the same thing.
I'm on my backup phone right now, I figure I'll just have to wait for the official release or something.
