Preservation of applications and the entire system on a PC even nerutovanyh devices
To drain firmware

With the advent of Android 4.0, you can save not only the entire system including applications but also the establishment of the system or application.

Root is not needed

For this we need ADB sdk.

1. Connect your phone to your PC

2. Open a command prompt and go to the folder where the unzipped SDK

Asking and ......

adb backup -apk
retain APP Applikation

adb backup -all
It retains all inclusive system and installed applications

adb backup -shared
It preserves all that is on the SD card

adb backup -system
Store system applications

adb backup -com.google.andoid.apps.plus
retain gapps

backup.ab file will be saved in the folder where you installed the SDK or unpacked

Restore:

adb restore c: \ backup

When you save after adb backup command window will appear on your phone and there you can specify a password if you want your backup recovery record.
what to do if you receive a "brick
If as a result of what actions your device does not load and ASUS logitop constantly hangs, then you can try the instructions below.
First you need to try to make a full wipe - i.e. full cleaning. As a result, you will lose data, but at least restore your performance.
Full device reset

b) Press the "volume down" button
c) Without releasing the button, hold the power button for 3 seconds
d) Hold the volume button until the menu appears
e) Use the volume buttons to select the item "Enter recovery mode" and activate the volume button
f) Moving on the recovery volume buttons, select the item "wipe data / factory reset"
g) After completing for reliability, still doing "wipe cache partition"
h) Select "reboot now"
After turning on the device, restart 3 times.

If the reset did not give results, you can try to completely re-flash your machine.

6. Execute the following commands:

Terminology
Boot = Boot Loader, a program that provides interoperability and loading programs with iron, and is also responsible for the identification of the software and gives the command to the Recovery installation of a software
Recovery = utility required for installing updates, software modules, the software checks the integrity of
FOTA (OTA) = Firmware Over The Air - this official firmware update "over the air" (3G, WiFi). FOTA update when user data is not changed.
it is necessary to obtain the firmware for FOTA to do the following: turn on 3G or wifi, etc. - Menu ->Setup ->About phone ->System updates ->Check now.
BB, PC = Personal Computer
Stock, stock = "Factory" state of software (can be completely "factory" and can apply only to certain parts of the piercing)
Brick = Do not load your smartphone: "visnuschy" at boot or not vhodyazhy in which any mode except Bootloader and Recovery (in severe cases - not to include). Often several variants from incorrect firmware because Full Wipe etc.
Wipe = Analogue Hard reset, it happens: Factory reset (reset to factory settings), Full Wipe ( "rubbing" of firmware partitions usually done before installing the firmware.
Ruth, ROOT = the main administrator account, or superuser-a. Having access to this profile there are a number of features that are not available in normal mode.
Recovery = set of low-level tools to save / restore a backup of all sections of ROM. By analogy with computer software - a "acronis true image on the livecd".
= Fastboot mode for firmware / phone downloads. It allows you to stitch separate sections of the flash memory of the phone.
The fastboot itself is built into the low-level boot loader: i. through fastboot you can not break fastboot - this is the most important thing! Knowing how to use fastboot - you can always flash your phone - even if you have not inserted the wrong firmware into the system section before.

Have you unlocked the bootloader before it,

No need to unlock or anything.
I am a Chinese course bad to know the site is updating instruction.
You need to copy the firmware to the phone memory, in a folder in the root of the Update or not understood, it's easier, you can put in both places. Internal archive RU_A68-9.8.8.55-0-ota-user.zip unpack is not necessary.
In the notification area at the top will be a triangle with an exclamation point (possibly after a reboot), click on it and select the firmware, it is recommended to connect to the charge.
System upgrade takes about 10 minutes.
Successes.

Instructions from ASUS for the transition to the firmware of one region to another.

Let's fix that not a lot of your instructions, we give it more understandable for many forms?
jsaf @ 30.11.2012, 19:22*
Press the "Volume Down" + "Power" button. Hold for 3-4 seconds until the menu.

Turn off the phone and translate it into bootloader mode (we press the Volume down + Power button)
jsaf @ 30.11.2012, 19:22*
Press the "Volume Down" to choose the desired option.
Confirm by pressing the "Power".
The phone will go into recovery mode.

Open the menu in the bootloader:
1.Entre recovery mode
2.Exit update mode

Choose 1 item opens my stock recovery
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data / factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache

Etc. all the steps ....

Correct your post with instructions on items and ask the moderator to pick it up in the cap. The transition to the firmware for the Russian tempted by many, including those who have no time did not see the bootloader menu. They will be easier and safer to change the firmware for the detailed instructions.
