dunno, I only got to initiate the update, capture the url, and had to leave to go back to work.

Need the 16gb one

How do you even become part of the Dev Preview? Anyone get the same for the 16GB?

I just got home from work, and finished up the install process. So far everything looks the same, but my box is more responsive. Prior to the update my 500GB unit kept getting delays when selecting stuff off the homescreen. If I scrolled all the way right on the top bar, the end items would pixelate, then if I scrolled all the way back, the beginning icons would be pixelated now. Not too long ago I did a factory reset w/ wipe, and it was a lot better, but came back over time. I was getting ready to RMA it. So far that is gone. I'll know more if my issues are 100% gone with more time and use.

Need one for the 16GB version.

just remember if you have the 500gb version that theres a bug that after you flash it'll only show 11gb free.to fix you have to do a factory reset, which takes forever.

How do we apply the file?...
Do we just flash it from twrp recovery environment?...

If it were me Id make a twrp backup and try and install the zip via twrp.

alright
did update via twrp after and before reboot system clean dalvik / cash
all works (didnt brick or kind of call how to boot in recovery or etc...all startdet normaly)
about controller touch pad button - for me...same as before (and yes i did controller and remote update .... less then five minutes takes me, so be patient) or maybe i don't know something where or in which application need use that...
after updating - twrp and root will be gone and twrp from previus 2.1 wil not gonna work tooo (already checked)

There is a similar problem on the Shield Tablet. The new bootloader won't boot older kernels. I expect that to be the same problem with twrp here. I can probably hack something together, but I don't want to release anything based off a leak. I am working on stuff internally, though. Once the official update and source drops, I should be able to get a new twrp out the door pretty quickly.
Question for those already booting the new ota: can you get to the bootloader screen by holding the power button and plugging in the power cable? Also, does fastboot boot do anything other than hang the device?

I don't really understand your 2nd question?!
Fastboot commands from cmd didn't give me trouble with booting, rebooting if you about this...generally was all ok
Previous twrp from 2.1 boots up only picture was upside-down...well and wired mouse didn't responded

He wants to know if the boot (vs flash) command of fastboot works properly now. It was broken last release.
When you 'fastboot boot boot.img' it will boot that copy instead of flashing it to the device, whereas 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' would flash the boot.img to the boot partition.

[Request]Acer A100 Recovery.img for ICS LOCKED

Hello Members
I need a Official recovery.img dump for this ICS version
ACER_AV041_A100_0.002.00_ww_GEN1 link >>http://vache-android.com/v1/download.php?fileID=116
my recovery does not install update.zip patches and power key does not select any opition
http://youtu.be/CWFlA1W08wE
this is my bootloader version
Bootloader v0.03.11-ICS: Starting Fastboot USB download protocol
help me please
You Can make a backup this IMG with "Acer recovery tool" downloaded from the google play store
thanks
Ill attach the stock recovery for one of the ICS roms that vache posted, but I can't remember the exact build #. I know it's not the leak version, and if it helps I also used it to flash back to stock after some funny business.
I just noticed something, you are aware that image you linked to is a A101 image, right?

I'm glad it worked out for you, but if this fixed your device that you made a previous bricked thread about, could you please to back, and post an update to that thread discribing what you did, and how you did it, to get the device back up again? It'll definatly help anyone else with this same issue.
You're welcomed, we are here to help each other after all. You should follow pio's advice and describe what you did so others can benefit from your experience. We have to make such info as readily available as possible.
Having the same issue described

He had a brick not a locked bootloader, you can't flash a bootloader directly if its locked with fast boot.

Put an stock rom update on the root of your external sdcard (vache & zeronull have released some), rename it update.zip. I'd don't recommend recommend relocking your bootloader unless you're absolutely sure what you are doing, so that means that if the rom you downloaded has a bootloader.blob you need to delete it, or look for one that doesn't have it (I think vache's don't have it)
Now reboot into fastboot
adb reboot bootloader

Click to collapse
once in fastboot
fastboot erase recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then
fastboot flash recovery "recovery.img file location"
Click to expand...

That should give you stock recovery, after that I usually hold down the volume button closest to the lock switch and run
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After you see the green android with the progress bar in the bottom your rom should be flashing, and hopefully once finished you'll be ready to re-root, and reflash your rom... if you were careful and had a nandroid-backup you could even restore your /data (I don't usually restore my /system or other partitions).
Godspeed in your flashing endeavors my friend.

thank you very much for the detailed explanation masr1979. I'll give it a shot when I get home from work.
Basically I got the rear camera replaced, it was working great. About a couple weeks later It's running sluggishly because I was running too many apps at once. So I decided to press the reset button while It was lagging out, next thing I know It's stuck at the silver android logo forever. I tried using some update.zip's but that just made the problem worse.
Well it seems my knowledge level was a few steps back from where it needed to be to fully understand the instructions as posted, so the last 24 hours have been a whole lot of 'old dog learning new tricks'. I have adb and fastboot installed now via one of the threads found through googling. When I enter 'adb reboot bootloader' everything seems to go fine, but when I enter 'fastboot erase recovery' I get 'ersaing 'recovery' ... FAILED (remote: (00000002)) ANy tips from you pros?? I've been beating my head against the wall for a while and neither my head or the wall are looking too good right now Thanks for any help anyone may offer.

Thanks for jumping in here pio_masaki. It's very much appreciated.
Sorry for the lack of details, I realize that I should have given that info from in my first post.
Android version is 4.0.3 ,I flashed it with the first ICS leak that showed up here on XDA.
Bootloader version is v0-03.11-ICS
The A100 is not rooted.
After the official ICS update was being streamed I realized that I wasn't getting it. Figured it was because I had already flashed the early leak. I saw here on XDA a few threads where people were trying to get back to HC because they were having the same problem. I followed steps and advice listed in those other threads but nothing was working for me. I always got the dead android logo any time I tried to recover using an 'update.zip' on my external sd card. When I get the dead android logo and press the home button I do get the recovery menu button soon noticed that even though I could scroll through the menu I could not select any of the options. I saw this thread and it seemed to be very similar to my situation.
thanks again for your time.

So...you flashed the bootloader to get back to HC and now it won't use update.zip? What about booting into android, does that still work? Or fast boot? Or uhm...I seem to recall having to do a hard reset to get the downgrade to work, have you done this too? I never downgraded just seemed pointless when I was already on ics so I'm not experienced with it, just recall seeing the boot loader needing a hard reset to work.
Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
No, I never flashed the bootloader, not unless that happens while trying to run an update.zip. adb and fastboot seem to be working. Based on the earlier instructions 'adb reboot bootloader' does restart the A100 and gives me the bootloader message at the top left of the screen. When I run the ' fastboot erase recovery' command I get the FAILED message in the command prompt window and also get a message in red text on the A100 saying 'Fastboot: not support the command in lockmode, failed to process command erase: recovery error (0x2)'. When I run the 'fastboot reboot' command the A100 does restart. So all that leads to believe that the communication from my computer to the A100 is ok.
Booting into Android. The A100 starts and works fine if that is what you are referring too. As far as the hard reset, if that's the process of holding down the volume button while powering up and flipping the lock switch back and forth to reset the unit, then yes I have done that and it does work. My whole goal here is to get the unit to running ICS legitimately and get updates from ACER. I don't care what I have to do, it's just a couple of the other threads mentioned the need to go back to HC to get the official ICS update. So that's why I tried that. But the last time a update.zip worked was when I flashed the leaked ICS. I have got the dead android logo every time since.
Sorry if some of this info is redundant from my earlier post, I just wanted to get it all in the same place.
Thanks again for your help.

[Q] [Nexus 7 - 2013, wifi, 16G]Got stuck at Google logo

Hi everybody,
I'm so angry with my Nexus 7 (wifi 2013) because I just made it mess up.
Let me tell you how stupid I was.
First, I tried to root but it failed.
Second, I used 'Back to Stock' with 'Nexus Root Toolkit v1.7.2'. Finally, I got stuck at Google logo
I tried some solutions on the internet but it still unchanged anything.
Could you show me how to fix it, please?
Thank you so much.
This is the images of error that I got (I'm sorry I cannot insert image because I'm a new member of this forum, could you go to the link below to see more details?)

Hey namserious,
How did you get it working? Did you use the Mini guide given by sfhub? I'm having the same issues with my nexus 7 (2013). I only used for one day. Restarted on the second day and never got anything after the Google logo. Also, my phone wasn't rooted, so I didn't have developer options turned on and since I can't get into the system, I can't turn it on either. Will that make a difference?
Thanks.

If you didn't root the device or do anything else with it, you should be able to get into Recovery Mode and do a factory reset.
https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2668187?hl=en
Even recovery doesn't work
I'm not able to get into recovery mode. When I select recovery mode, the tablet starts and displays Google logo again and gets stuck there again.

When you get into recovery you will see just the droid and the red triangle. At this screen you will need to push the power button then Vol Up and release. I had to do that about 3 times then I was able to get the menu items. From there I did a factory reset. After that I was good to go. Hope this helps!

Glad to help! The best thing about Nexus devices are the different fail-safes. If the Rom is screwed up you can flash a new one from recovery. If recovery is screwed you flash a new one from the boot loader. If the boot loader is screwed you can flash another from recovery. Also the N7 2013 tablet is the best for the money. I user mine for work. I am a tech admin for a school district and have certain tools located on my desktop (Active Directory, Printer Manager, etc) and I have RDP installed on my N7. Now when I need to reset a password or whatever i can just RDP to my desktop. This tablet has made my life easier and hopefully yours will too now.

This is my first experience with a Nexus device and I might have judged it in a wrong way. But I think the problem is not the device but the information regarding the latest Nexus devices. Hopefully there will be more workarounds of the new Nexus devices.

Hey, know it's been a little bit but my nexus 7 says no OS in TWRP recovery. I tried flashing it back to stock but it doesn't work. The bootloader is locked and when I try to do anything manually it just hangs on stuff like erasing 'system'/cache etc... in fastboot. I have not been able to find anything to work. And when I try to fastboot oem unlock it gets stuck when i press volume up and power to accept unlocking it. I have tried different cables and another computer. maybe I should try a third computer.. Do you have any suggestions?

I know this is an old thread, but I'm having this exact issue. I'm just stuck on the google screen. I can get into the bootloader just fine, but not the recovery. I followed these directions. Flashed the factory image and everything. But I still can't get past the google logo. I've followed every bit of advice I could find on this issue and I can't seem to get it working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone know what's going on? I've tried everything I could find. Multiple times. From the suggestions listed here to the WUG kit to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381582
Nothing is working. I goes through the reflashing successfully. The command prompt says that everything is done. And then it just gets stuck at the Google screen again. I'm at my wits end and have no idea what to try next. I know that because I can get into the bootloader still, there has to be SOMETHING that will work. But I just don't know. Any ideas?
is there a android L Developers Preview flashable zip? thanks

Anyone figure out what is causing this? I got a remanufactured 2nd Gen N7 16G yesterday. Updated to 4.4.4 over the air. Then unlocked the bootloader and rooted. Everything went fine. I installed Franco's latest kernel (r17) over stock and all was well. However, this morning, while using the device in the middle of GoW, it rebooted to the Google Screen and froze there. I could boot into the bootloader and have my comp recognize the device, so could ADB and Fastboot, however, I could not get into recovery. (I had installed TWRP 2.7.1.1 when I rooted). Trying to get into recovery would just freeze at the Google Screen.
So, I then tried both manually ADB'ing commands, as well as using Wug's Toolkit, and both methods seemed to complete successfully without error (I was using the latest Razor-Flo 4.4.4 files from Google's Dev Page so it is not an issue where I am using the Gen 1 files for Grouper or anything like that in error), however, neither method allowed me to boot into recovery, and left me at the same place. No matter what I did, I was stuck at that screen. I ended up calling Asus to RMA.
So, while it is not a current issue for me, I am interested to know if anyone has sorted what the root cause is, and whether it is an issue on the hardware side. I am not a complete noob to the N7 (I have 2 Groupers), and have been modding for a few years on Samsungs, and until this morning, have never had a soft brick I could not fix. This time, I gave up.
Same problem here, I have a Deb 32g, it went a little wonky and then rebooted. No amount of flashing and wiping and fastbooting has been able to recovery it. Gets stuck on Google Logo no matter what I do. Can't get recovery. Can't boot past Google. It will do fastboot without errors, but that's the only thing it will do.

rooted boot image for moto360 KGW42N

This is a rooted boot image for the moto360. It was made by jcase using a dumped image from my device. It has worked fine to root my device, but nobody is responsible if it breaks your device or anything else. Use it at your own risk!
I'm not completely sure about how it works, but it seems to install the su binary to the system partition, and a few other things, so the root is permanent until you remove it somehow.
I booted this image while my watch was in the KGW42N release, rebooted normally and, after a few hours, I received the update to the latest release normally and maintained root. Your experience may vary.
As far as I know, it will also root the newer releases.
This can be flashed from fastboot.
- turn off the watch
- press and hold the power button until you feel the third vibration, display will show "Bootloader version..."
- connect the jig to your watch and secure it so it will not move accidentally.
- connect the USB cable to your computer. Displaty will show "Transfer mode: USB Connected..."
- Launch a terminal session in your computer and issue the commands:
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
** It's not fastboot flash boot boot.img ** it only needs to be booted, not flashed.
When your device has finished rebooting, you can enter an ADB shell session and type "su", it should show "[email protected]" in the prompt.
If you find something interesting about the workings of this method, please share!
Big thank you to jcase and beaups, it wouldn't have been possible without their help! Visit http://theroot.ninja/
Enjoy.

Please, don't ask about the jig/cable in this thread, I'll make some instructions soon.
To encourage more research and developments, use the donate button on the right! thanks!
Only reason that I cannot root my device
connect the USB cable to your computer.

If you like, I can provide hosting so that it doesn't kill your google drive. If that's OK with you, I can put it up on 2 diff hostings with unlimited bw and great speeds.
Please sell me a "jig". Or at least, show me a detailed guide on how to make one and where to buy parts.

This is just a boot that boots on the device, not flash. It "should" work with out any issues.
I plan to try it out this weekend when I make time to unlock the boot loader and ect.

Haha, yeah, that "should" is what worries me. And I'm outside of my return window now, so it'd be a real shame to lose the device
I did it yesterday on the R build. Everything went fine and got root access
R build rooted
I successful booted the kernel and have root on the newer R build.
I am trying to root my moto360 but it gets stuck on downloading boot.img . Any solutions?

The boot image linked in the op must be in your adb folder and renamed to "boot.img".

Best method to unlock zenfone 5 bootloader without any freeze/random reboot!

I'm using RR 5.6.9 by @tank0412 for last one week.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/development/rom-resurrection-remix-mm-5-6-7-t3357331
So far I didn't face any freezing or random reboot issues. What I did is as below:
1. Flash/downgrade to UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.30-user firmware.
If you know how to flash stock firmware then skip step 2-12 and just flash it by yourself. These steps are for new users.
2. TURN OFF the device. Press and hold Volume Up+Power to enter to fastboot/droidboot. When the ASUS logo shows up, release the power button and keep on pressed the Volume UP button. This will take you to droidboot/fastboot mode.
3. Check whether your PC detects the fastboot...
Code:
fastboot devices
if not, go to device manager and install the fastboot driver(by online). if fails, install from the PC by selecting the android device from the list.
4. Download this image UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.30-user.zip: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Ze...user.zip?_ga=1.61130092.1708615694.1457697474
If you have different SKU, you need to find the right firmware(version-2.21.40.30) here: https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone_5_A500CG/HelpDesk_Download/
5. Extract fastboot.img, boot.img, recovery.img from the zip file and copy to ADB folder to flash. Copy UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.30-user.zip to ADB folder as well.
6. Run the below commands:
Code:
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
wait for reboot.....
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
7. Then go to recovery by selecting from the menu, you will an android logo with "!" sign. Press power+vol down+vol up sequentially and simultaneously, don't release any of the buttons. You should be in recovery mode.
8. In the recovery, select wipe data/factory reset
9. Select wipe cache partition
10. Select apply update over adb sideload
11. Now check whether your PC detects the ADB over USB. if not, go to your PC's device manager and install the ADB driver online. if fails, install from the PC by selecting the android device from the list.
12. After successful detection, run below command
Code:
adb sideload UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.21.40.30-user.zip
13. Download this official tool for Unlock Bootloader: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Ze...rel.zip?_ga=1.117083014.1481752799.1464212721
A501cg users should get the tool here: https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone_5_A501CG/HelpDesk_Download/
14. Extract the downloaded file and copy the .apk file into you SDcard. Install that .apk(if it says untrusted app, then go to settings>security>enable Unknown sources).
15. Run the installed app and press unlock. wait and let it reboot. After this, your Asus splash screen will become white & bright.
16. Now do a clean flash for any custom rom.
You guys can try it. :highfive:
Note: Few users are having "No Camera" issue for unlocked bootloader. This method will not fix that. Sorry about it, I'm a victim as well.

First of all, please don't quote the whole OP while you are replying.
Yes, it won't work for your device as you have a501cg. You need to get the official unlock tool from this site: https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone_5_A501CG/HelpDesk_Download/
Before that you have to flash or downgrade to *.30.zip firmware.

Actually a501 has the SAME unlocker as a500cg. There's only one app that unlocks a wide variety of Asus devices. (Zen6's different afaik).
And we tried to install 2.21.40.30 for base as well and it changed nothing.
And unlocker application doesn't change the working mechanism of phone (we decompiled it).
So, are you sure that you tried to use heavy applications like Youtube or some games?
If you get any user that reports freezes gone; i will try it again with your method.
Thanks for your contribution. Good luck with your method. :laugh:
Btw assuming you have a500cg, that phone can be fixed imo.

Bro, I'm a heavy user. Many of us had faced forced close for 8 ball pool game. I had it too but after this method no forced close happened again. I'm not sure whether a500cg and a501cg have same app for unlocking. It's a bit confusing to me as they have different sites to download their firmwares and tools. But I'm sure, what ever the phone is a500cg or a501cg, the tool will work if the user has *.30.zip firmware installed.

Yes because the tool seeks for if.bin on firmware folder and it copies to the sysfs. (You're doing same thing on fastboot when flash ifwi if.bin)
So that's why I don't believe the unlocker tool fixes something.
Anyway, thanks; I will wait for another users that solved the issues with your method and then take a look with my phone.

You are right. Most of the cross platform developed apps are crashing. It seems like something is wrong with the JavaScript's render engine. I don't play with ROMs. Hope ppl will come forward to have a fix. But to my utter surprise it's been 10days, I still don't have any freezing.

Before, following your method with 2.21.40.30-user.zip was not success, but downgrade to 2.22.40.540-user.zip is ok. Unlocked with black logo, white ground but can not flash TWRP, how can install cooked ROM?
My phone is Asus Zenfone 5 T00j A501CG WW. It has 1.6 GHz CPU, 16 gb internal, 2 gb ram. Can this method work if I get the stock firmware you mentioned?
Hi I am new to Android, I follow the steps as mentioned. But not able to after step 7(Press power+vol down+vol up sequentially and simultaneously, don't release any of the buttons. You should be in recovery mode.), I am not go to recovery mode. The phone goes power off mode and is not starting again. Any help is appreciated.

Will this procedure work on a A5CNB19 5.1.1 that has no root and locked bootloader? What are the chances for it to get bricked? Thanks in advance
PS: there are a couple of techies in tailand that say they are able to install CHPlay trough Teamviewer

You shouldn't try Teamviewer with this kind of "techies" . They can do something bad with your PC or your device as well, I don't trust this kind of things.
Anyways i was stuck in a A5CNB19 without root acces and google play services. To "unlock" my N1 I downgraded it first at the 5.0.1 (I don't remember the firmware code) and then i flashed the Taiwan version (A5FMB19) which actually has Google Play Services installed. Anyways i'm coming with bad news. Unfortunatly I don't have the files you need to downgrade and then to upgrade, anymore. You should try to check out here on XDA if someone has these kind o files. I'll check somewhere if I'm able to download them again and upload them on google drive or something different. Hope I helped you

How did you downgrade back to 5.0.1? I'm in the same situation actually (currently on 5.1.1 A5CNB19). My N1 is mostly in good condition but it's completely dead in terms of software support so I thought maybe I could bring it back to life with Google Play store.

TheDuke94's methos worked well for my N1. Just saved it from being 'bricked'.
Really wanna thank you.
It's now 5.1.1. No longer update available. But still fine for me.

Glad it worked! I had the same issue when tried to flash magisk xD anyways still not able to do that, but I'll try to install a lineage OS or something lime that. Unfortunatly, N1 is a Foxconn device so nowadays Nokia (HMD Global) doesn't have anything to bring back to life this device (which still has great hardware specs). BUT I hope a ROM will come for N1 , cause it is a Stock Android device

Just tell us how to flash LineageOS when you secceed. LineageOS was a much better choice for older devices. I just flashed 14.1 for my N7, and it revived. With normal usage, around 5 hrs. SOT, thanks to LineageOS. As I checked, there has been no such Lineage file for Nokia.N1, which was X86-base chip.
Nokia/Foxconn no longer supports N1 device. And it was so pity! N1 is much better off when comparing specs with Nexus.N7. I can get also 5 hrs. SOT with N1 on average usage, but with much brighter screen. And it's faster than N7. So, LineageOS would be a great choice for N1.
All the best wishes to you, TheDuke94. And hope the LineageOS for N1 will come, not long in the future.
Ok people, got strange news.
First , using this method -----> https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-n1/development/iovyroot-nokia-n1a5cnb19-a5fmb19-t3466897 I was unable to set root. Then , i rebooted my device, tried again and the result was this :
Now , I downloaded Root Checker in the playstore and it says I don't have Root Permission I think the thing will be much easier using Magisk Manager
Not a geek, really can't help much…but hope everything's good with you, @TheDuke94.
Any Good news, since Apple just released new iPhones?
