Terms and Definitions
NVflash / APX mode
This is the lowest level of software that can talk to an Nvidia Tegra device. Basically this is the Holy Grail of memory modification, which can even fix a damaged bootloader.
To use it, one boots the tablet with [Vol +] + [Power]. This will lead to the PC detecting an "APX" device. The screen stays blank.
This is no working solution for anything yet, as not only there is no leaked NVflash binary yet, but also the communication is encrypted via an unique 128bit AES key. This key is at no stage accessible, but can be used to encrypt data during boot. This is where the wheelie tool for previous transformers was of help. The Communication itself happens via a protocol called nv3p, which actually is open source, but as long as the key is unreachable, that's not a lot of use. NOTE: I will create an extra post with a lot more details about this.
Fastboot
The Android Bootloader.
This is the essential part of software which loads Android/a Recovery image/rooting ramfs/etc.
This is the most delicate part in the Android boot process, as fastboot is the lowest level of communication we have so far. In other words: The only way to fix a damaged bootloader would be NVflash, which is not yet available for this device.
Generally the Bootloader is locked as a method to prevent unauthorized access to data stored on the device. A locked Bootloader means no Fastboot.
Bootloader unlocking
To gain access to fastboot devices, the Bootloader needs to be unlocked. This can be as simple as installing an APK provided by the manufacturer or running "fastboot unlock".
Unlocking the Bootloader always leads to three resulting actions: Fastboot now works, all data on the device is wiped, the device's warranty is now void.
Unlocking the bootloader via unlock app can require you to have internet access and a valid google account. This can be problematic in the case of one-time-passwords, as the normal password will possibly not work (and you'll wonder why the heck it doesn't run).
Bootloader locking
This is (at least currently) not possible. Warranty void remains permanent.
RamFS
Simple file system in a file, which gets loaded into RAM. We use this for rooting.
Boot image
A file generally called "boot.img". This contains the kernel.
Recovery image
A partition image that contains a bootable linux kernel and file system, which server the purpose of creating and restoring nandroid backups and perform related tasks.
Brick - general
A device with messed up software, not being able to boot let alone perform any higher task other than being a brick.
Soft brick
A device not booting, which still responds to fastboot queries.
Hard brick / Brick
Fastboot doesn't work anymore. Maybe a visible boot loop, maybe nothing. The only point in which this differs from scrap is the ability to get into APX mode.
Chances are, there will be a way to use NVflash to fix this sometime.
Unbrick
Fixing a bricked device. Currently only soft bricked devices can be unbricked.
Root
General term for having super user abilities on a linux powered device. This can be used for reading/writing/executing restricted files, modifying things, loading custom ROMs etc.
Also having Root can mean "running with scissors", as there's not much left to prevent you from deleting important files and bricking your device.
Remember: Having Root is a very useful device, but with power comes responsibility. Also there is Android malware, which specifically targets rooted devices.
Rooting
The process of gaining Root. In early methods this generally starts with unlocking the device's Bootloader, then booting a Kernel with a purposely prepared ramfs to install and modify certain files.
As always, unlocking the Bootloader means all data will be wiped. By chance at some point someone will figure out a way to do this without unlocking.
ROM
A stock or custom Android ROM image. This contains everything needed for a running system. Custom ROMs contain tweaks, themes, improvements, styles, preloaded apps etc. Also more often than not, a load of bloat ware will be removed.
Bloat ware
Apps nobody needs/many fail to understand what they actually do/bring new ways to crash your device/sniff your precious data/revive long fixed and forgotten security leaks/the manufacturer adds to promote sales ("hey look, we've got an app for that pre installed").
Most importantly, cannot be removed from your device without Root.
Stock
A mint Android ROM, just like what the device gets shipped with.

Keyboard key remapping
The physical keyboard has custom keys, with functions of debatable value. Here's how to remap them to suit your needs.
Note: This also works for other ASUS Transformers.
Warning: Backup any file you attempt to edit!
Method: The keyboard mapping is described in /system/usr/keylayout/asuspec.kl. The structure is pretty straight forward.
After saving the file, reboot the device.
Code:
Key: Function: Key number: Text:
lock Delete 142 "key 142 FORWARD_DEL WAKE UNLOCK"
search ALT 217 "key 217 ALT_LEFT WAKE UNLOCK"
HDMI configuration
The HDMI resolution can be adjusted. This can be handy under certain circumstances, although results may vary.
Method: Via terminal; disable frame buffer 1, change resolution, enable frame buffer 1
Info: To get a list of valid settings, run "cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes".
This will reset at reboot.
This example enforces 1920x1200 @ 59Hz, in my case to force a HP Compaq monitor to keep running (without this it'll go to sleep for whatever reason).
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fb1/device/enable
echo "D:1920x1200p-59" > /sys/class/graphics/fb1/mode
echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb1/device/enable

Q&A
Q: "I have never rooted anything before. Can you send me some fairy dust to fix my bricked tablet if anything goes wrong?"
A: No. And if you are not absolutely sure of what you're doing, there's a fair chance you'll mess it up. Been there, done that.
Q: "What are known causes of bricked TF701?"
A:
Failed upgrade
Flashing incompatible boot.img and blob
Flashing something other than blob to staging
Removal of important files after rooting
Q: "I had a quick look at your instructions for xxx and I don't understand..."
A: Tough luck.
Q: "I re-read your instructions for xxx, searched the forum and I still cannot understand..."
A: Check if there's a matching thread. If there isn't create one with a diagnostically conclusive title. Use as much detail as possible.

yeah, the keymapping crap...
I found tons of "unpack this apk, edit soandso..." but I wanted to have it changed on a lower level. the remapping should work on most if not all transformers, and be easily portable to anything that has a hardware keyboard...

hard bricked tf701t
Dear lpdunwell,
I have a bricked tf701, only asus logo available and loopboot, fastboot menu is broken as well. Only APX mode working, but I could not find appropriate nvflash for my pad (s I see there is no nvflash currently available for my tab)
In your explanation about bricked device, you wrote that there is possibility to recover tf701?
Please describe what nvflash version should I use to succeed?
Thanks in advance,

Sorry mate we don't have nvflash and it is too late for you now anyway If you only have access to APX you are hard bricked. Best to sell it for parts and move on.... Or if you want to revive it send it to Asus to fix at a cost or source a replacement mainboard and do it yourself.

Hi man.. Why do you think I have to forget about my toy.. It was my Christmas (New Year in Tbilisi, Georgia, opposite planet side) present to myself But it is all the lyric only
Pls explain - do you really think that for ex., several weeks / months later, smb will create the nvflash or any similar SW which will be able to fix my problem? Actually I believe that until all electronic components are ok, device is not "dead" forever... Why you so pessimistic exactly for 701 transformer tab? Pls if you have time reply me
Kind regards,

the way nv flash works is you need to flash the special bootloader to extract your device blobs and device specific keys. As you haven't been able to do it and you CANNOT do it once you have bricked you will have no chance. How are you going to flash a bootloader that you need fastboot for?
Sorry to bring bad news but if you only have APX with no saved nv flash files (which is not yet avail for our device) then you currently have 0% chance of recovering.

Thanks a lot for reply (as well as for my another, initial thread reply) I have only CWM backup of my tab, on the MD card. But I do not know, does this backup contain all needed stuff? At list, I did not found there saved nv flash or blob files. Just "blobgenerator" (462Kb) and "blobtester" (370Kb), also some system files with "nv" in the name. But I do not have Idea, does CWM saving the low level loader files, at list I was not able to recognize them there...

No having CWM backups saved won't help you as you have no way of getting to the bootloader which would then be used to open the recovery so you could restore. WIthout a working bootloader you can't proceed. NV Flash uses APX mode to restore the blobs via the wheelie binary. You haven't captured the blobs to restore and as they are encrypted to your device you can't use anyone elses.
It's a new main board or nothing I'm afraid.

I see, everything is clear. Thanks for your time man. But I beleive that Asus has some kind of "backdoor" for such cases, for internal usage, of course. Asus manifest about "mainboard replacement" probably just for business, normally must be some way to crack this protection. I hope somebody from Asus will share some useful info or even software for public usage... Maybe it's my dreams only, I'm realistic (I'm working as IT/IS/GSM/WCDMA, but I'm so far from programming..)
Again, thank you. Pls notify me in case of any news about K00C hack

Sorry I am not yet familiar with how to ask questions.
I recently bought a TF701T having used a TF700T now for two years and before that the TF101, TF201 and TF300T.
All these tabs I installed a recovery: CWM or TWRP and flashed the best ROM I could find. Usually Cyanomod or CROMi-X.
Everything worked fine so I was very excited when I got hold of the TF701T with its incredible Q-ratings and smoothness.
Unlocking worked just fine but installing CWM just does not work: flashing with Fastboot works OK but when I boot into recovery the little green man falls down and stays there
FYI: I am on the latest BL: 10.26.1.28, so newer than the mentioned 10.26.1.18 !
Please could anyone respond ?
Regards, JOTX10 from the Netherlands.
Hi you all guys, I own a Kazam Tornado 348 and with little android knowledge decided to root it, which I managed.
After that I decided to keep playing and I did something wrong since I got the boot screen loop, the one where you are only able to enter the TWRP recovery mode but not the OS, I tried to restore it, wipe and reboot it multiple times without success. Now it seems I did even something worse because I am not able to enter recovery mode anymore and it seems will keep turning off and on (just enough to show the phone logo) until it runs out of battery
It is possible I deleted something else last time I was there, like deleting the TWRP itself? I am on total darkness here, I will appreciate if someone point me towards a possible solution, which I hope there is. Thanks for the help
Simply flash it with sp flash tool with gionee elife s5.1 firmware which is Android 5.1 or with kazam official firmware 4.4.2... It will boot up..
My answer is not for u becaus its too late but for those who came here to the thread having same problem...

Hi, I have a similar problem but I am not an expert... so I need very easy and step by step instructions...
Could you please snd detailed information about the procedure to flash my Tornado 348 (including links or pgms to execute) ?.
Please note that the major problem is when i connect it to internet: in this case I cannot use the smartphone because it starts to open and close apps and downloads an infinite number of apps...until the memory is full and it stops.
So the best solution should be to keep it disconnected from internet (no wifi) and access it from a PC.
For this reason I kindly ask you if you could help me with sending the right sw tool to flash it from my PC connected to my Kazam.
Just in case I leave you my mail : [email protected].
Really hope you can help me. I paid my Tornado 348 € 300,00 and I have NO ASSISTANCE by Kazam... (they say they supended the assistance in Italy and I am waiting since months without any help)
Thanks a lot
Antonio

Hi,
I always found it saddening to notice EZCast5G (the "original") is updated at first and their knock offs are updated way later (as of writing this, there is 16602000 for EZCast5G, 16403000 for MiraScreen5G).
The update tool let's you easily analyze the update process. And if you fake the reply from this URL with (for example) miniweb to always dish out latest EZCast5G firmware then your knock off will become an original.
These are the requests made for a legit EZCast5G and a MiraScreen5G:
Code:
[COLOR="Purple"]curl http://www.iezvu.com/upgrade/ota_rx.php -d "{\"version\":1,\"vendor\":\"ezcast5g\",\"mac_address\":\"authorshxj\",\"softap_ssid\":\"000000-00000000\",\"firmware_version\":\"16602000\"}"[/COLOR]

These are the official replys where you need to always dish out the first one and the update tool will do the rest:
Code:
[COLOR="Purple"]{"ota_conf_file":"http://cdn.iezvu.com/upgrade/ezcast5g/ezcast5g-16602000.conf","ota_fw_file":"http://cdn.iezvu.com/upgrade/ezcast5g/ezcast5g-16602000.gz","ota_enforce":true}[/COLOR]

When I opened mine it even read "5G EZCAST V1.4" on it - so I was pretty sure it should work. And it did. So for $17 one year ago I got myself a neat working EZCast5G. The MiraScreen5G gets into bootloader mode by pressing the one and only button right when you plug it into USB - no need to shorten pin 19 and 20 of the AM8252.
Thank you.
Some questions.
How to use this curl command with miniWeb?
Hi,

Hi,
with some help from Chatty and another forum i got it done !
First i needed to add a line to my hosts file:
(On windows its found in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc)
Code:
127.0.0.1 www.iezvu.com
Then i downloaded miniweb and created a file containing the desired server answer.
Miniwebs web root resides in the "htdocs" folder by default, so i created a folder named "upgrade" and in that folder a file named "ota_rx.php.
I edited that file to contain this text:
Code:
{"ota_conf_file":"http://cdn.iezvu.com/upgrade/ezcast5g/ezcast5g-16602000.conf","ota_fw_file":"http://cdn.iezvu.com/upgrade/ezcast5g/ezcast5g-16602000.gz","ota_enforce":true}
I fired up miniweb with the parameter "-p 80" to listen on the stabdard web port.
THEN i started the EZ Updater app, connected my dongle in Flash mode and VOILA it detected the version i wanted it to detect.
So it flashed (took forever with several loops) my MiraScreen5G to a EZCast5G !!!!
After that initial update the dongle detected a newer version and updated okay.
Please note that AFTER the update you cannot get into flash mode by simply pressing the key. I assume that key is not considered existing anymore since the EZCast5G has none as well
So for further flash-fun we need to short the Pin like its descived by Chatty !
THANKS Chatty & all,
Ender

Few Months ago when I was updating the firmware, my Dongle died due to power cut.
after reconnecting my PC couldn't read the version of my dongle. Today I wanted to revive my Dongle But have no to little experience on the Windows Debugging. I know my Dongle is not dead and it has no firmware, I also know that EZCast Repair tool can Flash the Firmware to it, I can download the firmware using the OP, I can also see that The App has options for Manually flashing the Firmware.
But I don't know how and what to do to access the areas shown in the Screenshot.
anyone please help me and point me to right direction.

No I found no help.
All I need is access the flashing area.
I had 2 tools laying around (think i deleted those)
One was older and directly opened the firmware flashing page, but that doesn't have the partition table of My Dongle.
And the other tool which have the partition table, opens on main page (which is automated and does nothing)
If somehow i could access the firmware flashing area on the newer tool then I could revive my dongle.
If your dongle contained older chip of Action Electronics (earlier than 52) then the older tool can flash your dongle.

Hi to all, can anyone help me please with my EZ mira app and dongle device associated with it (miracast).
I have tried to upgrade software for my miracast device thru EZmira app, but suddenly Commercials pop up and my upgrade has been stuck at 10% and won't go further , worse after disconnect or reset there is no signal at all anymore it does not start /boot nor emmit wifi signal. What to do (because of stupid commercial)??
I tried to reset device several times but nothing, tried reseting thru PC but it does not load or Windows does not recognoze device to upgrade it thru web tools.
Please can anyone get that firmware back in my device and restore it .
Much appriciated and thanks in advance!

Yes, of course, if the firmware is faulty, the device is not recognized and does not work. You must follow the Firmware Recovery Procedure. The device will most likely be repaired. Unfortunately, unless you specify a specific type, you can't be specifically advised on how to proceed.

Set your device to Recovery mode according to the procedure and use the tool for chip 8268/8252 or 8272. If the response is "device connected", it is a given chip set.

If your device has a button, first try to enter recovery mode, press the button and connect USB.
In the procedure is a photo of the MCU and these pins are shown.
ZTE used to post their OTA images on the Germany Site (ztedevices.de), however they now post these on the somewhat global official site:
Download link: https://ztedevices.com/en-eu/support/select-product/axon-10-pro/
(Select Germany, then download "From Android 10 to Android 11")
Just like installing OTAs before, unpack the zip file, copy the "update.zip" to the phone, then goto Settings--System and Update--System Update, Install the zip, reboot and you're done.
New features and fixes:
--1.Fixed transition animation when opening apps (As in 9 or 10, just the "square" animation) and swiping back to home page.
--2.App Drawer background is now pure white, the text is black just like Pixel Launcher does.
(The Launcher still doesn't change a lot (but CN version does), same Wallpaper and WallpaperPicker, but fixed changing size problems of some widgets)
--3.New notifications page and Settings. Reduced the gap between two signal meters (if you have two sim cards then you will notice)
--4.New lock screen settings and always-on display, fixed color temprature changing.
--5.Have two dial pad tones (DTMF and piano), four screen locking sounds.
--6.Screen-edge mistouch prevention and quick waking up GAssistant by pressing the power button.
Screenshots are below, transition animation demo:

Same problem here. Does anyone know a way to flash a complete ROM without having the bootloader unlocked? Can I use EDL? I even have a working Axon 10 with Android 11 firmware. But I do not know how to flash via EDL.
Any chance this will work on the now forgotten US version?
I am unable to perform the update coming from 2.9 :-(

Seems like it's unable to upgrade from 2.9, and I didn't notice there's even a 2.9 package. I upgraded from 2.8 successfully, maybe you should use OTA or MiFlash to downgrade to 2.8 and perform another upgrade.
Besides, the rollback package for this version seems useless, so if you want to rollback, you have to use MiFlash and the EDL packages to reset to V1.6 or later.

Thanks for the reply. I'm sad. The Axon 10 is a perfect design and piece of hardware. I also had an Axon 7 before, so I have 4-5 years of experience in ZTE software support and I can say it may be the worst in the planet. In the end, I decided to switch to Pixel 6. It was very well priced with Bose headphones, although not Bose is my favorite, but a good name and quality, right?

Exactly. The reason I use this phone is that this was gifted by one of my relatives when I graduated from high school. If there was a chance, I would possibly choose OnePlus or Xiaomi. Thanks to XDA, there are still some chances to customize my phone.
Hi there, I just downloaded and unzipped the file to the root but it doesn't show up when I look for an update, do I need to unlock the bootloader? I'm from Mexico
The only deference between G and U version is the modem.
If we can extract the modem from your phone maibe we can flash G ROM to USA version.
I did that in Axon 7 .worked great.
So I need some instructions how to that.
If anyone can help would be great.

Hi le011, is everything working stable on your Android 11 with USA modem? Are you having any connectivity issues? Does the GPS work and lock on instantly like it did on Android 9?

Hello
Well, the idea is like this:
Flus the G full EDL image whit MIFLAH program.
Link to EDL: A2020G_PRO_V2.1 android 10 EU_FULL_EDL.rar — Yandex.Disk.
Ty to dimkin_76 and djkuz
** stay whit the G modem!!!!
Restart the phone. You will have WI FI. You will get system update to V 2.8. take it.
After you have the V2.8 , then get the android 11 SD card update.
Download the SD card update to android 11 From this post, ty to Willwongprd:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/news-eu-a2020g-android-11-r-update.4338393/
download link:
https://oss.ztedevices.com/prod/cn/...ware(414360B1331MyOS11.3.4_A2020GPro_EEA).zip
make the update.
Restart the phone and you have the android 11 MYOS on your phone but whit G modem.
Now its time to flush U modem.
Download the U full EDL image from hear: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=17248734326145680432
Ty to bobthenormal.
Extract the file and copy the MODEM .BIN file to another library .
Rename the MODEM.BIN , twice to: NON-HLOS.bin AND NON-HLOSb.bin.
To flush the modem I used this tool: Axon 10 EDL Tool 3.2.5 from this treed:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ash-backup-restore-bootloader-unlock.3964605/
( There is another tool but it didn’t worked for me.)
Put the 2 modem files you renamed in the flush/modem library in the Axon 10 EDL Tool 3.2.5 folder.
Connect the phone to computer and activate the program and choose flus the modem. It take me some time until the program worked for me but finaly it did.
After the modem flush you will have ex U variant phone whit android 11..
Good luck….
Ty to all for the hard job to keep your AXON 10 PRO alive…
Chears…
Soo, long story short, i hard bricked this phone and i definitely need good advice. Please bear with me:
I got a Poco M5s,
I wanted to install official PE on it.
I successfully unlocked bootloader (mtk client method)
I ****ed up because i flashed the recovery, but it was for the wrong MIUI version (i had A13 - SFFEUXM and PE needs A12 - RKLMIXM)
Then i compounded my mistake because i booted to fastboot over linux and flashed A12 - RKLMIXM (flashall.sh). The phone never booted after that.
Now the phone is fully unresponsive: Black screen and power/volume buttons seem to do nothing.
I tried to use SP Flash to reflash A13 - SFFEUXM, but it failed and wanted me to remove battery and retry.
I tried to disassemble the phone, specifically removing/reattaching the battery plug: no change in response & SP flash did not seem to download anything
I also tried to see if mtk client can detect the device, but worryingly, it thinks it is a Helio G90 (MT6785) instead of G95, and then fails with "DAXFlash - [LIB]: Error on sending emi: unpack requires a buffer of 12 bytes"
I'm totally disappointed at this point. Is this salvageable? What can i do?

Thank you very much! I managed to restore it with this!
I also learned a bit about "EDL mode".
One more question: Can i actually rollback to MIUI 12.5? What did i do wrong before?

I have tried to rollback to 12.5 too. Got a bootloop. So I searched online about it and found out that you need to use the latest Mi Flash tool ( I used 2020 version ). Then I tried with the 2022 version but this time I was getting a timeout error. The flash was stopping at 700 seconds. Since I have a really old and slow PC, it takes about 1200 seconds to flash. After that I have given up.
Which version of Mi Flash tool did you try? Try with the latest version if you have a relatively fast PC.

I've tried various miflash versions (2017,2018,2020,2022). It always times out.
On linux, i managed to complete a flash using "flash_all.sh", but that's how i bricked it.
Hello, don't know if it is the good place for this but I have done the latest update (I have a Poco M5s with the version 13.0.10.0) and I just found the recovery flash for it (same version, Global.). I managed to unlock the phone after a few weeks of the phone being unrecognized by the pc, no matter how hard I tried to get the updated adb and android drivers. The latest Windows update included the Android drivers (which enabled me to unlock the bootloader).
I am planning to flash it using Magisk, any advice or things I should know?
