[Q] Buyer Advise for TF701T topic

I've had a TF201 for a long time but it is now almost dead (smashed screen, dents, slowdown, random reboots).

The TF701T looks like the direct replacement but I suspect it won't get a production Lollipop update.
I am no stranger to flashing custom ROMs and would happily do so again but CM12 development doesn't look quite stable yet although the unofficial ROM in the dev threads looks promising :)

Question/Poll:

1. Get a TF701T for form factor and ignore lack of official Lollipop


2. Get a Nexus 9 with Keyboard and ignore price


3. Get something else (Asus X205TA Atom for example)

Dpi advise topic

I'm thinking of lowering my DPI on my nexus. Can some of you post what DPI settings work best for you? Screenshots would be very helpful.

Thanks in advanced.

[Q] TF 700 only boots into TWRP - please advise this NOOB! topic

Greetings -

I have an unlocked TF700 (twrp v 2.5.0.0) and I was running cromi-x. it began to crash a lot so i tried to flash a new rom and i must've done something wrong because now the tablet will not boot up. I can get into twrp and perform the options listed (install, backup, restore, wipe, mount, settings, advanced, reboot) but nothing seems to help. I haven't played with this in probably 6 months so i'm not sure where to start. Navigating these forums is like reading latin to me. I'm sure there is an explanation for this but I can't find it. Can some one link me to an existing thread if this has been discusses previously or help me out? I can't seem to get anything working on this and it's driving me crazy. I know I need to provide extra information to help identify this issue but i'm not sure what that info that is. Any help would be appreciated!

Also, I've tried a factory reset from twrp as well and it gives me the following messages
E:unable to mount '/external_sdcard
Updating partition details...
E:Mount: Unable to find partition, for path '/'

When I reboot following this, it takes me directly to TWRP.

I'm guessing my tablet can't find my SD card? Maybe that's an easy fix?

Thanks everyone for looking at this and thanks for anyone that takes some time to educate me.

[Q] Razr Maxx weird issue with stock ROM--no display. Please advise. topic

Hi, all . . .

Quick version in bold below.

I've enjoyed my rooted Razr Maxx for many months now, but recently I did some tinkering of the kind that involved the warnings we're all familiar with, i.e., you might mess up your device. And, well, I did--but not in a way that was completely beyond redemption. I don't know what actually happened, but what I know is that after the Safestrap menu disappeared my phone no longer displayed anything, and it would hang during the boot sequence. I'd hear the Drooooid, see nothing, and then the phone would just remain in that non-displaying, unresponsive state until the battery was drained.

I have Safestrap 3.11 installed, thankfully, and I have a backup from several months ago I've been working with. I began hunting around for advice on how to rectify the problem. I tried wiping the cache, then restoring the system and data, then just the system, and each time I got the same problem. Finally, I created a new ROM slot and restored my backup to it--just the system. (System and data didn't work--I don't really know why.) Interestingly, this booted up just fine. Everything was as normal, except that I had to rebuild my profile/data/etc. from scratch.

So I thought, if that worked, then maybe I could wipe the stock ROM and restore just the system to it after the wipe. I tried it, and then had the same issue: no display after Safestrap, and then a hang.

So my question is, is there some way to get that stock ROM straightened out so I can use it as normal? Can I delete and recreate the stock ROM in Safestrap? Is there an obvious explanation for what is happening here?

I really do appreciate any advice you can give, because I'm a dabbler and not a developer, and that's probably a good part of the reason why I'm in this situation to begin with. Thanks!

Quick Version: I'm using Safestrap 3.11 and I messed up my stock ROM in such a way that I have no display after the Safestrap menu, and the phone hangs during boot. I managed to restore just the system to a different ROM slot and was able to start from scratch there, but I want to find out if there is a way to make my stock ROM whole again.

Thanks!
