A few days ago, I tried to upgrade the firmware to the latest for the SDHC support and it the middle of it it froze.. I reset and only get the ASUS welcome screen.. A hard-reset produces a black screen and nothing more.
I've been searching this site for 2 hours trying to figure out how to fix my A626 .. I've found a bunch of things, but don't seem to be getting there.
I found the nk.nb0 file and tried putting that on an SD card.. Managed to figure out the bootloader thing.. If it's not plugged in via USB, I get a blank screen for a second, then "FAT16" comes up in blue on the top of the screen (in landscape orientation) .. It sits at that longer than I'm willing to wait (so far about 5 minutes) ..
I then tried it plugged into USB, i get a blue screen with all sorts of stuff about usb and "ready for download" .. I figured this is when the usbloader.exe would work .. But I get this far:
Attempting to open Intel PXA27X USB Development Board

Is there something I'm missing here? I'm not too interested in modifying my rom or anything. I just want it to work again (preferrably with the update installed so I can use my new 4gb sdhc card.. which is the whole reason i bricked the damn thing in the first place) ..
I may just let it sit on this fat16 screen for a while.. get some rest or something.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
whoa wait... after plugging the cable into the computer a few times it finally did something... seems like i'm loading SOMETHING onto it...
Ok wow, it's working now.. and whatever I loaded is supporting the sdhc card ... i'm happy happy..
figures i'd only solve the problem if i made an ass of myself on a message board

try downloading the Fresh Kitchen and attemp to use it to do a backup. I have run into this a couple times and for some reason however the kitchen gets you into the recovery seems to get things to work properly.
The "with Google" phones have issues rooting straight to 1.5.2. Try 1.2.3., then update.

I ran across this issue recently myself. There was something wrong with my storage card. I manually backed up the storage card, formatted it, then I put the files back. After that, nandroid backup worked like a charm! ...and I have a "with Google" phone. Hope this helps...

thanks that worked! expect i had to delete most of my stuff off my SD card.
I've had that a few times. I found that plugging my phone to the charger solves it every time.
I got that error once, and it was because I had renamed my Nandroid backup. Just rename it back to the original, and it'll be ok.
Also confirming that this worked, thanks alot.
Just a theory on why this might not work:
How much space do you have left on your SD cards?
Maybe there is not enough room to expand the zip file while it is restoring it.

I only got this error once when my sdcard did not have enough space for the backup. I would put money on that being your problem.

I can confirm that... make a space on your SD card to continue...
I just got this error and freeing up space on the SD card didn't work for me. I formated and everything. Still getting the same error. I am just gonna ruu and start over...
i was getting this error yesterday.fixed it though,the night before i changed the names of the backups...i renamed them back to somewhat the original name n it worked.
Just got this error message. Checked the size of my backups...about 181MB...checked the free space I had...about 101MB. Deleted 3 of the backup files I had to free up space, then it worked. So, for me...it was a space problem.
space problem
I was getting the run nandroid via adb error also... like you said... "not enough space..." that fixed it for me. so simple... thanks
I have the same error message...
My sdcard is empty... i have not a space problem...
I only get the error when my batter is below 40 percent or so and not on the charger. I believe its a safety measure to make sure your phone doesnt die and brick in the process.
I just had this same error, and read through the solutions. None were relevant.
However, I changed my spaces to underscores in my file names and now it works.
Hope this helps someone else. Just make sure everything is in "one word".
I had this issue about an hour ago. I had changed the names of my back ups (So I could remember what the heck they were backing up). I'm fairly certain that changing the name is what caused the issue. I had enough space on my SD card and I even tried plugging it into the charger (as reccommended in previous posts).
Putting underscores instead of spaces fixed this for me. Thank you kingkeld! I'm glad I never ran into this issue sooner, otherwise I would have been screwed (since you only posted this 4 days ago).
all you need to do is plug your phone in and restore
just had that issue and it's a fail safe to ensure no bricking in case your phone dies
Hi everyone, if you are having trouble with upgrading the ROM on the US TG01, then this is your topic! Here are the few things you must do the update the ROM:
-Fully charge your battery
-Format your MicroSD card to FAT32, then create a folder called "prg" (don't type the speech marks), and place your ROM in there, and don't forget to change it's extension to .enc from .tsw
-Remove the black tab under the SIM slot, beware, pull it upward, not forward
-Can you see the three "yellow circles" on the SIM slot? The first and third one are what we wanted the connet together. Link/connect them with a wire
-Push the power button for 10 seconds
-Wait a little bit
Done!
Don't thank me, thank leeston for all his continous support, hey, thank you again man!

Hi everyone, I've just tried with the mirolg's Sense included English ROM to upgrade the software version on my TG01, but it's just restarting, so nothing changes, any ideas?

Not enough detail for me to help you. Please reply to the following.
1. Which method did you use, short pin or sddl+?
2."just restarting", do you mean that the sd downloader doesn't start and goes straight to Toshiba screen or it starts then resets the device making no changes?
3.If the sd downloader starts, does it say 'Variant Invalid' briefly before it restarts?
If you dont know what shortpin or sddl+ means then look HERE.
Sorry, I did not informed you very well,
I've used the sddl+ method. Clicking on the sddl+ restarts the device, just like a soft reset. If I click on the SD downloader, then it says "Invalid filename".
Thanks for the reply.
Now the SD Downloader says "Error occurred during system reset" when I click Download.
Err?
I'm wondering, is that too difficult to help a mate who is having a problem? PLEASE???

I assume you've read the sticky about rom flashing and are still having problems, follow the guide below and let me know how it went.
Download my ROM from HERE.
Download 7Zip from HERE.
Download sddl+ from HERE.
1.Install 7Zip
2.Right click "TG01WP_StonromR7.7z" and choose "7Zip -> Extract to "TG01WP_StonromR7.7z\"" (This will create a folder called "TG01WP_StonromR7" in the same place as the downloaded file)
3.UnRAR sddl+
4.On your storage card create a folder named "prg" (no speech marks)
5.Copy "TG01WP_Stonrom.tsw" to the "prg" folder on your storage card.
6.Copy sddl+ to the root of your storage card. (root = not in a folder, just straight on the card)
7.Open file explorer and go to your storage card and open sddl+
8.You will now have a white screen, with the text "sd downloader - do not remove battery or storage card" (it may not say exactly this, i can't remember just now)
9.Wait
10.Wait a bit more
11. The phone should restart after a bit of waiting, the first boot can take a long time. Be patient.
I only say use my rom because i know it flashes and boots on my 2 devices.
If this doesn't work, pay attention to the on screen messages during flashing and post them here word for word, along with which rom you tried and any other info that you can provide.
Thanks again for your help, downloading right now, I'll inform you about the process.
It doesn't work, only says "Invalid filename" if I click on the TG01_SDDL.
If I click on the tg01_sddl+, the device just restarts, no further changes, still the same problem.
???
BTW, I changed the ROM's name to TG01WP_00.tsw, now the SD Downloader says "Error occurred during system reset".

Only thing i can think of is to rename the .tsw to .enc.
I tried that too. It doesn't work neither.
BUT,
Thank you very, very much for your afford.
Post edited, detailed informations added.
Have you tried updating you TG with the manufacturer update instead of a cooked ROM? Just to prove that flashing is possible on your device.
I would suggest using the official update and SD Downloader from Toshiba.
Please post back with your experiences.
Yes, actually I've tried with the TG01WP-WM6.5-UK file. Result: Same

Where did you get the file? The correct file name should be "TG01WP_5005000176.tsw" or "TG01WP_5005000167.tsw" not "TG01WP-WM6.5-UK"
Just to clarify, is it an Orange UK TG01? Did you buy it from a shop or second hand?
I got the file from Toshiba's official web site (Europe).
Err, I don't know where my device is from, but I can assume you it's a TG01, not the "A" one.
Here, the file is included on the file I've downloaded:
TG01WP_5005000176.enc
Ok, the phone is from USA, I guess it has a different software version updater.

The only thing i can see that is left now is to use the short pin method. Details are in the guide to flashing tut in the sickies. You will need to make sure the radio versions are the same first though.
Start\settings\system\about\version info. Where it says radio version is what you need to know. Mine is "5005.1600.05" so would be referred to as 1600 here. If you let me know what radio you have i will upload a ROM with the correct radio for you.
This may take me a little while though.
Radio version is 5001.0000.5319
Very different, heh?

I'll try and find a rom with that radio, for now though try renaming the tsw to .enc and try short pin.
I think some phones released to America have different radio hardware than UK phones. I'm not sure if this is the case for the TG01 though. I think we have a few American forum users. Maybe they could help if they are reading this?
Anyway, I really appreciate your help and support.

Did your a7 have a sdcard problem before the attempt ?
And even tho it sed it can't read sdcard, did it proceed to install anyway ?
yes it did go ahead with the installation, but it is during the installation process where i saw something about can't read error, i jus got it yesterday then i did the new update from elocity website. then i tried al,ost all of dexter's mod
these are the exat message i got was (E:can't open/usb/update.zip)
(E:Can't mount USB:update.zip)
then underneath that it say (Finding update package)
then it say (Wait for 5 second)
(Installation time out)
(installation aborted)
(Formatting MISC)
these are all the thing it say during installation
Does your a7 read, mount and unmount the sdcard stock?
What is the path to the update.zip?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm just trying to get on the same page
Sent from my Mynized EVo 4G
I'm having just about the same problem. Will be interested to hear any helpful suggestions. At this point, the only thing that is working is to do the factory reset and use the basic version again. I keep getting a message that "update.zip" (although I named it "Update.zip") is a bad file. I also did not get "apply sdcard:update.zip" as a menu option, only "apply:update.zip", which when clicked did read the sd card, then gave the bad file message.
update
Lemme clarify first then update. I bought the A7 in February and loaded the most current Dexter mod at that time. It's been running beautifully until this week. Over a period of days, the A7 started acting up until it was no longer usable at all. First, the BlueTooth cut out, then the WiFi, then it just got stuck and was repeatedly lighting up the Elocity logo, but never fully booting up.
Elocity support said to do the Factory reset, which I did and it was back to baseline again. Trying to install the latest version of Dexter is where my problem started. (end of history)
So, now the update for this evening: I tried every version of Dexter's mods and got the "bad" file message each time, even after downloading them again to be sure I wasn't using a corrupted copy. However, my A7 will wipe, then update with Elocity Firmware 2.0134 and read it just fine on the exact same SD card when renamed "Update.zip".
So, now I have a very frustrated boy with autism who can't do his Google Voice search anymore and the Android Marketplace doesn't let me download the apps I already bought for him. We're back to where we were when it arrived out of the box in February, but unable to restore what we had.
I have to think there's a conflict between Dexter's Mods and the new firmware, even after one wipes everything. I even tweeted Dexter (and I don't *do* Twitter!) to see if he could respond for help and am waiting for a response.
Can someone please help? Thanks!!
Sounds like your having issues with the files you download, I have gotten in the habit of not renaming the update file to just that until its on the usb card. Seen to many messages like yours if I saved one update over a prior with the same name. Try download 1.41 and 1.42 leave their names the way they are and save them to folder on your computer. Copy them bother to sd-card leaving names the same still. once both are there rename 1.41 to Update. Remove card from pc put in tablet. Use the recovery system method (press then hold power button method) do wipe, clear cache, the use update option. If this is successful which it should be delete the 1.41 file on card that you renamed to Update, this can be done on tablet or computer. Once that file is gone rename the 1.42 to Update and once again flash from recovery system.
Hope that solves your issue
Make it a habit to not save an update over top of another, though it seems like it would keep you from having to rename but for me it always seemed to corrupt the file.
thanks! I'll give that a try. I notice you said "PC", but I have a Mac ... could that be part of the issue ... downloading to Mac, then moving the file to SD or USB? (could be a stupid question, but if I don't ask, that makes me even more ignorant)

Do you end up with a folder or a zip file? Safari has a bad habit of extracting zips when it downloads them. Search my posts, there is a long ranting one that covers issues with both PC and Mac.
they're zipped ... I use Firefox 4.0, when the option comes up at download, I always click "save", not "open". Thanks, though.
well, problem solved. I ran Bestial's gapps patch over top of the new eLocity firmware and i have full functionality again. very happy mom here! now to reload all those apps for my boy! =D
Wow, I'm glad you found a solution...I have been following the thread and was getting worried.
I had the same problem after downloading the newest elocity update and then trying dexter's mod. I found out my problem is that I renamed the file "update.zip". If you just rename the file to" update" then it loaded fine. Not totally sure why this worked and maybe it was just my case, but maybe it will help some of you out!

No. Your problem was that you were using a windows machine and your file extensions were hidden (I am psychic, but don't worry, I won't tell anyone your pin number). She is using a Mac, no hidden file extensions.
How do you get to the gapps patch? I'm really having trouble getting any updates on my a7. seems like its not taking anything off the sdcard. i brought a new card and I'm still having the same issue.

Hey guys,
So I finally got around to getting this mess sorted out with trying to get Order and Chaos working on my Galaxy Note and it runs great once you actually get 'around' the device checking nonsense.
I do actually own an Android Market and a Gameloft Store license for the game as well as have a subscription but unfortunately neither of these files will actually work due to the in-place device checking.
Unfortunately I cannot tell you where to download these files but the following are the two files you need:
- Order-and-Chaos-v1.0.8-approb.com.apk
- GloftMMHM-snapdragon-approb.com.rar
Once you have both of those files you need to copy the Order-and-Chaos-v1.0.8-approb.com.apk file to your phone via whatever method you usually use, then extract the GloftMMHM-snapdragon-approb.com.rar file to your computer, connect your phone to the computer via USB and copy the files you extracted to the following directory:
/Android/data/com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GloftMMHM
Unfortunately this copy of Order and Chaos will start in non-English mode, you can change this simply by tapping the bottom right button which will open the "Settings" menu. From there, select the bottom option and tap the American flag.
Congratulations! You now have a working copy of Order and Chaos on your Galaxy Note.
I have created a forum thread on the gameloft forums pointing out that this is a major inconvenience and such complex work-arounds should not be necessary to use a game which works perfectly on a device of my choosing for a game I have a license for.
http://forum.gameloft.com/index.php/topic,43433.0.html
Hopefully this helps some of you folks trying to get this working!
Note: The same strategy as outlined above should still work and is reported to work but I have stopped bothering with this game. If a developer can't be bothered to implement a simple fix like this, in an MMORPG no less, they don't deserve my hard earned money. Also, if you can't manage to find the files using Google, keep looking! They're literally insanely easy to find if you just look for the filenames - use your noggin' - don't expect xda-developers to do *everything* for you
Good job!
Developers need to stop this nonsense.
O M G!
It works like a charm... : O Thank you very much for this, have been searching soo much for just THIS
Sweet Jesus im playin, bye
No problem! Yeah I was searching for this like crazy so decided to just bite the bullet and try various things until something worked!
Thanks! Been constantly searching since I got my Note on how to get this game to work. It's unfortunate that "piracy" is the only way to play it for now but hopefully gameloft opens their eyes and makes the proper changes. Like you, I also own two copies on my Android device and also own a copy for my now sold iPhone 4. I have paid for subscription and have not been able to play it since my note doesn't support it. Again thank you for your efforts and I'll see you online hehehe

So you Delete This Folder and then you go back to the SD Root and search for a Gameloft Folder (Right where Android is)
\Gameloft\
If you have it... delete it.. if you dont have. Delete the other Folder, Restart Phone, Plugin Usb and copy the Data THEN
If its not working delete it again, Restart Phone, Copy Data back to phone and download the apk from the side where you downloaded the Files and Start the apk yourself then...
Hope it works out for you

Thanks!!
Thanks a million for the info Chris! Works like a charm
The way I got it working was....when I had my GS2 I backed it up with Titanium Backup and then restore it on Note...works flawless...since it won't appear on Market with Note.
Hi,
Thanks for getting us this amazing game!
I got both the required files and placed in the right path.
Been trying all the delete/restart/load and still can't get it to work on my Note...
Anything else need to be check?

I assume you guys are extracting the RAR file and placing the files in the path specified, right? If so, try downloading the files to see what the directory name created is, then replace the files in that folder with the files you downloaded in the RAR file and relaunch the game.
As for buying game time - no sadly that doesn't work but I'm afraid this was the best I could find and since I already had a month or so left it hasn't been a problem for me (yet.)
