OK, TF700 fans, here's a good one for you... My TF700 started out locked with the stock ROM. When I set it up the first time (about a year ago), I used MY Gmail account, and everything was fine (with the OS, anyway). I recently did a factory reset and instead of using my Gmail account to set it...

FWIW, here is my experience - recap and update of today's efforts: 1. Installed 5.0.2 and lost bluetooth connection to AirTurn BT105 pedals 2. Back-revved to 4.4.2 via the steps listed by genkibrady in this thread and got connectivity back 3. Discovered that the 4.4.2 version in those...

Is there a way to get the build number or other identifying information without having to install the update? Now that I know I can get back to a working tablet by installing the HK1 build, it's just a question of dealing with that process...but I'd like to avoid it if the update I'm currently...

Beut is pretty much correct. Once you've downloaded and installed OS 5.0.2, a simple factory restore from the tablet's built-in menu (or from the boot-time menu) will simply wipe your app data and restore the tablet to an out-of-the-box-like condition, except that in this case, it will still be...

I see 5 instances of "NK1" at the sammobile site: 2014-12-01 Mexico (Telcel) 4.4.2 P900UBUANK1 P900UVSANK1 2014-12-01 Uruguay 4.4.2 P900UBUANK1 P900UVSANK1 2014-12-01 Peru 4.4.2 P900UBUANK1 P900UVSANK1 2014-12-01...

And that build (NK1) is available at the same site where the UK builds are located?

One other thing about this process...and this could be a deal-breaker for some people. INSTALLING A NON-US OS WILL PUT YOUR DEVICE ONTO THE UPGRADE PATH FOR THAT COUNTRY/REGION'S OS!!! In plain language: installing the UK OS means that you will not get new updates to the OS or the...

I'm sure that other, wiser people here will correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think so. You need something to hold the image and run the application to load it to your tablet... If there is a way to do it without a PC, I'm sure it would require rooting the device. If you're up for the...

<humor>Well... I don't know you, so I'm left taking your word for that... ;) </humor> Seriously, yes, I agree and for all the reasons you named. My "upgrade" experiences with every OS have been universally poor, requiring me to W&R (wipe & reinstall) to get proper functionality. [Though I have...

I agree that a reset before a firmware load doesn't make any sense to me. In the case of why they do it after a firmware load, I can only speak to my case. It wasn't just me tinkering. I let the tablet sit for 10 minutes on the Samsung logo screen before I forced the power off. When I powered...

Is the 'download mode' in Odin or in one of the screens as you go through the set-up process on the device? I didn't see it...but then again, I wasn't looking for it.

I should mention (clarify) that the instructions will take you to a site where you can download the UK version of the OS image. Aside from the spelling differences between Brits and Yanks, it appears to work just fine. Also, the instructions tell you to download "Odin", but they don't say what...

Encelle111 - it depends... If you're here because you upgraded to 5.0.2 Lollipop and lost connectivity to your bluetooth keyboard (or other device), you have a choice. You can wait for Samsung to release a patch to the OS (5.0.3, 5.1.1, or whatever they call it). OR...you can follow steps that...

genkibrady (I hope I got your name correct), I followed your steps and it went just as you described. I got worried when the COM number took about 7 minutes to show up. After the flash, reboot, and reset, all is back to working as I need it to work. I'm SO very happy to have my BT-105 pedals...

I just got my TF700t and a dock. Now, I have a great little pseudo-laptop, and all was well... Until I discovered a use to which I'd like to put my new toy. For my use to actually work, though, I need to be able to open the unit 180 degrees - flat... Of course, with the way the dock is built, it...
