I don't mind the shipping times as long as Tiger Direct does indeed have them available and is processing the order. I just called them to check on the order, spoke to Lewis, and was told the item is going out within the hour. I'll feel much better about it after I have a tracking number for an item that's been picked up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] A Naked Emo:
Just a heads up to all those that ordered... when I ordered my TF through Tiger Direct I had to call them an extra time to make sure that the credit card processed. There was some issue with it that they did not contact me about. Only reason I called was because my email confirmation was not sent to me until around 6 hours after my order was placed and i got antsy. I'm pretty sure they did not process my order until the charge went through completely.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] djdevine2:
Is there a way to tell if my buy.com order has been recieved by tigerdirect? I ordered from buy and it now says "Marketplace Seller is processing your order in their warehouse". I need the tablet within 2 weeks as I'm in the UK and getting family to bring it over when they come then!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] iron_pyrite:
Just saw this info about TigerDirect and called in to order. The CSR I spoke to said that Tiger was -100 on stock with no ETA on the database for restock.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] icecoldcl:
Well, Tiger Direct says their order is still waiting to be delivered. No go as of yet... With that said, she said: "it is available, oh wait, oh sorry no longer available, well let me put you on hold while I check the status of your order. Okay, it is confirmed we do not have any in stock." My question to her was whether or not my order was fulfilled, not their current stock. They are obviously lost up there... Boo...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DevCake:
I knew it! TD can gargle my marble sack.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] diomark:
Just called TD again about my order. The agent was telling me that the order will most likely be backordered, and said that he was surprised it didn't show as backordered when the order was placed (the agent I ordered from confirmed twice that it was in-stock and ready to ship)

He also mentioned that there are a large number of backorders on this product..

-mark
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DevCake:
Alright so Finally my TF has shipping status and I have a dock order with ExcaliberPC. Now I wait for nowinstock.net updates.

~DC
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DevCake:
TD is bad enough but now it seems there is no link to the Buy.com site for stock status. It still says it is in stock.

~DC
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gadgetfann:
On your TD account, does your order show up as "Backordered" or does it say "In Process - Your order is in process at our warehouse"?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] djdevine2:
Mine says "Marketplace Seller is processing your order in their warehouse"
[Eee Pad Transformer General] diomark:
It says in process.

The agent said it'll most likely switch to backordered within the next hour. (we'll see..)

-mark
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gadgetfann:
The agent I spoke to went so far as to tell me that they had a total of 122 in the warehouse at the time I placed my order. My credit card has already been billed for the full price of the order plus next day shipping. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] diomark:
My credit card has *not* been charged.

-mark
[Eee Pad Transformer General] djdevine2:
I'm getting really peed of now!!! I cancelled amazon which I ordered as soon as it appeared as it still hadn't dispatched and was near the front of the queue, but I cancelled it as td said I could get it in 2 days! Now it seems I'm gonna have no order now. Shops need better stock systems!!!!

Rant Over!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] madsquabbles:
still says in stock at buy.com... td's unavailable.

so i'm assuming it's oos. still a good price and i don't mind waiting.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] biggiephat:
yea i got a number too when i ordered. my credit card had the charge on it within 10 minutes of ordering.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bleclair:
That's why my Amazon order is still open... I'll wait until UPS/Fedex has a delivery date for me. My card has been charged (or at least has a hold for the full amount) and Tiger's site says my order is at the warehouse.

Gotta love all the different stories people get from TD, but I can't complain about them too much. 1st, they got me my Transformer. 2nd, I got some absolutely awesome deals when 10% - 15% Bing was around, like a brand new Panasonic 46" 1080p plasma for $700 shipped.

Love that TV! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] icecoldcl:
I think everyone has confirmed that no one knows what is going to happen with our orders. Just hurry and wait seems to be the norm... Thank goodness I have to leave my computer for a few hours. This is making me crazy.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Gbcue:
I canceled as well.

Spoke to Burt on the phone. He said that they only charge at time of ship. Since it won't ship, I won't get charged.

Did get a pre-auth from BUYCOMP, though...

one of the first orders right?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] djdevine2:
I'm gonna go to bed now, hope my order ships overnight (I wish!). Sense I'm gonna have a lot of reading to do in the morning!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] icecoldcl:
Okay, for what it is worth. I spoke to Michelle at TD and she actually called the warehouse to check my order. She said that they only had a 100 or so units, and they have run out. There are now over 104 people on back order and they should be getting more in this week. As for my order, who knows, but she said that I definitely have one and it will be shipped out either today or tomorrow AM. I ordered through Buy.com early, and using the TD order # obtained through CSR to check my order on TD website. Currently, it shows a status of "Processing." Again, for what ever it is worth, she said my order has been fulfilled and a unit definitely has my name on it. Wow...They come personalized with my name on ? kidding of course...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] r34p3rex:
Bah maybe I shouldn't have cancelled my Buy.com order :p I was too worried about the 4-14 day delivery time since I'm leaving Boston next week and don't want the dock to sit around here while I'm away

FWIW, my order still says "In Process" and not backordered so that's a half decent sign right? Right? I need some moral support here :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] diomark:
around 10am this morning I think.. -m
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tornadog:
I think we can say that most of the TD phone orders will be fulfilled. A part of the TD.com orders might be fulfilled. And most if not all the buy.com orders will be backordered because of the delay in transmitting from buy.com's system to TD's system.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gadgetfann:
I assume 10AM PST?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] djdevine2:
I ordered from buy.com at 6:14pm BST (10:14am PST). Hope I got one!

this is almost deja vu, like the Transformer order. Mine sat at "in process" all day and then switched to backorder at 1130pm cst. Right now the dock is in process, ordered at 10AM PST

Take that for what its worth
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gorby911:
This thread reminds me so much of TF101 launch date, same mess with folks calling TD and getting different messages all over again. :)

Last time TD worked out great for me and I actually got my TF101 overnighted and had it in my hands on launch date. I managed to place an order for the dock as well with overnight shipping... here hoping it will work out again. It is currently 'In Process' so we'll see... :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] donatom3:
Did you order through buy.com or TD itself?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timtlm:
For those posting shipping confirmation, it would be helpful if you mentioned if you ordered through buy.com, TD website, or TD phone.

Also, does anyone know for sure if the dock comes with and extra charger?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gadgetfann:
TD phone.

I ordered at 11am PST/2pm EST.

Received shipped notice at 5:10pm EST.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neok44:
Interesting. My order number ends with 3469 and I haven't gotten a shipped notification yet. Hopefully soon
[Eee Pad Transformer General] diomark:
I don't think it does (?) mine was from TD. All the overnight orders are from TD. buy.com only did one shipping speed - slow. (which is the main reason I went to TD)

-m
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tornadog:
does urs start with F or P?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] r34p3rex:
You ordered online right? Your order number is much closer to mine (and I ordered online). I think phone orders have a different order number system
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tornadog:
my order # ends with 3181 and starts with F, in process
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gadgetfann:
I sure hope there's an extra charger, but Amazon lists "In the box" as:

Yea online order and starts with F
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timtlm:
Me too. I would find it pretty annoying if it didn't, especially since their is no way to purchase one separately as of right now. Most laptop docking stations come with an extra charger. That way you can leave the dock plugged in, and carry one with you. I realize the dock is meant to be portable as well though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mds2004:
Anyone with shipping confirmation with their order from Buy.com? Ive only gone back a few pages but have only seen shipped confirmations from orders directly from TD.

My 10:32amPST confirmation order from Buy still says processing.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] T3rry1:
nifty... but shouldn't this be in the dev section?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dcmtnbkr:
+1

P.S. I would like some pizza
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
its general info, since it isnt the actual guide to rooting.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] DroidxRage:
Good find OP. Seems really straight forward. This will be my day 1 project. :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dictionary:
Why was this moved to the dev section? Mods, there is already the ROOT thread, there was no need to move this. =\
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rushless:
I appreciate there are some differences, but why is the process more complex than the Acer A500. Al you do with there is:

1. Set as debug

2. Make sure an microsd is installed

3. Install the root apk

4. Run the apk

5. Reboots in five minutes and rooted
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lordgodgeneral:
I'm assuming its the differences in the kernals, before the OTA updates, the transformer sounded pretty easy, but now they've locked things down since then
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Bumble-Bee:
The new root allows boot custom boot and recovery partitions to be flashed to the device. Aloowing for nandroid backups and restores :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dictionary:
Only get root with certain apps. Titanium doesn't work, nor does setcpu. Root explorer seems to.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
Can we flash ROMs from internal memory as well?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lordgodgeneral:
I don't think so, as part of installing CWM you have to have an microsd card inserted. So I'm pretty sure at this point they don't have a version to use just the internal memory.

Also I did a nandroid and it looks like CWM currently backs up EVERYTHING on the internal SD card. Looking in storage i have about 380 Mb of system, 1.7 for media but my nandroid was ~2 GB.

If this is true, may be a problem down the road, where your nandroid may take almost your whole microsd just to store.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dictionary:
Just transfer off old nandroids and put back on as needed. Just means you have to make sure you have at least enough space to hold the nandroid you want to put on/restore to though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Roach2010:
32GB MicroSD FTW!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
Yeah... I only have an 8GB with 12 GB of stuff on the E3T so nandroid is a no-go for me at the moment ):
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Roach2010:
Tell me about it, I've got a 16GB in the desire that's never more than half full but I only had a 4GB lying around when I got the transformer so I'm tight on space till I get something bigger.

I am going to get a 32GB card for this and keep my media on it rather than the transformer. That way the transformer shouldn't get too big for nandroids.

I'm sure it's only a matter of time before honeycomb is ripped apart and we will be able to mount the /sdcard partition to a part of the nand that isn't backup up by nandroid. It lives in /data/media at the moment but a custom MTD could take care of that if such a thing existed yet...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Vigneshd:
Wouldn't this prevent me from being able to receive future OTA's though? Or do we have a way to flash an SBF of some sort (I'm pretty sure we don't).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
Of course no updates from Asus but devs will give us the updates instead after taking the bad crap out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] d.brown:
i did every steps< 5. Wait up to 10 minutes for gingerbreak to do its stuff, once its done you will have SU (#) symbol< got the symbol try the other steps didnt work reboot ...now im trying to do it again and i get permission denied????
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Bumble-Bee:
re run the chmod 777 xxx/xxx/xxx command and then try gingerbreak again :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssj4vegita2002:
Same here. I actually got all the way to step 7, but couldn't type anything in my original command prompt after doing the step in the second one. I had #, but couldn't input any commands, so I restarted my device to try again, and now I am getting Cannot copy boomsh. : Permission denied even after running the chmod 777 command again :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PriTyan:
adb shell

rm /data/local/tmp/boomsh

adb shell

rm /data/local/tmp/sh

Then run gingerbreak again.

I got past that point, but now when ever I try to run SU from a terminal I get su: permission denied. Anyone?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PriTyan:
Found my answer here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13314830&postcount=58
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssj4vegita2002:
Now I am getting "md5sum: not found" after pushing the blob in the second command window...this is getting frustrating, lol.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ssj4vegita2002:
Finally got it. Pulled to my computer, checked the sum, then proceeded as normal. I'm currently doing a backup so I can always go back to it if I need to. Anyone know the best rom to start off with? I think I may try Paul's.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
I use prime v1.1 since it still has the Asus navigation icons.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] florelui001p:
When trying to root my transformer I get to the part where I type ./data/local/gingerbreakBB . I get the following error cannot copy boomsh: permission denied.

Edit: Got it fixed now for some reason when I get temp root and try to run the next command which is adb push CWM_BLOB_V4 /data/local it says error: device not found. Any ideas?

Edit 2: Got it! Woot rooted :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bedoig:
ADB keeps disconnecting after running gingerbreak. Has anyone else run into this?

i.e. - gingerbreak seems to run successfully and returns 'dance forever my only one'

Next I try to push the blob, but I get device not found.

adb devices returns nothing

adb kill-server followed by adb devices doesn't reconnect. I physically have to disconnect and reconnect before the device is picked up again. At this point I guess I have lost the temp root.

Going to try again a couple times, but wondering if anyone else ran into this.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] seshmaru:
are you doing "adb shell .data/local/gingerbeakBB" as one command? Because you shouldnt.

first do adb shell.

Then do the .data/local/gingerbreakbb seperate.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bedoig:
Right, that's what I'm doing. What's the IRC channel? Wanna hop on.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] florelui001p:
Dont push the file on the shell, open a different cmd window with adb. It took me forever to figure out why the command wouldnt work on the temporary root, you need a new window :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bedoig:
Thanks. Will give it a go. Doesn't seem to make sense that ADB would disconnect in one terminal window, but allow access in another. Trying now.

Edit - lol. It worked. Awesome! The dd has to be run from inside the shell though right? Sorry if I'm being dense...scotch...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] florelui001p:
Lol yeah took me half an hour to figure it out, I was about to kill my transformer! Um any command that involves the shell goes in the temporary root and any command that has adb in it in the other window.

Edit: Yeah the dd goes in the temporary root window
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bedoig:
LOL. Once my brain started working everything went smooth :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] florelui001p:
Ha ha glad to hear, so did you successfully root? I did mine today and flashed a custom rom asap :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bedoig:
Yes sir. I think I'm going to start with Paul's rom from Modaco. I can't wait to see Honeycomb/Transformer development really kick off...come on Google - hook us up with HC source.

Did we ever get full kernel source? Seems like I read it was incomplete.

I know one other great dev from the Evo side picked up a Transformer (you on the forums Shinzul?). Should be good times from here on out!

Edit - forgot to say thanks for all the great work done so far! Thanks apache/bumble-bee, rayman, stridger, and everyone else who has contributed! You guys are awesome!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] florelui001p:
Very nice, yeah that is the rom i installed on mine actually. Yeah I heard the kernel was incomplete so more waiting sigh....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bone$:
can i get some help.. stuck at m5 sum? keep getting m5sum not found... thanks

stuck on steps 7-9.. pushed the BLOB_V4.. can't figure out what's next
[Eee Pad Transformer General] florelui001p:
Adb has no md5 so you just have to pull the file and check on your computer using some md5 program to see if it matches, if it does move on.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bone$:
Thanks got root!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] florelui001p:
No problem! Glad it worked out

guys my bro was trying to root this today but he closed the su window now were trying to get back in to su and it wont allow us anyone know a fix thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] The-Nazgul:
Hey guys,

does this methode work with the latest asus Firmware Update applied?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] funnycreature:
I managed to get root working using the Blob V5 but I lost bluetooth :( What could have gone wrong? Everything else is working just fine and I did not run into any problems. This is the first time for me that I followed the instructions and had a not perfect out come ;(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] florelui001p:
What was the error or problem he was encountering? Oops accidentally pressed thanks when trying to press quote lol :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] florelui001p:
Yes it does, it'll work even if you have the latest official Firmware. That is what I had and was able to root
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neilkarunatilaka:
so I did the 12. run “dd if=/data/local/CWM_BLOB_V4 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4″ in the temp SU window, it looks like it worked, I rebooted, but didn't see a progress bar. Did vol down+power to try get into recovery, then it said press vol up, did that, but got android + (!), then it rebooted to homescreen. How can I check if I have CWM? And I tried the next step, after 14, adb remount, but kept giving me an error :(

(throughout the entire process I was using the V5 blob, and replaced the V4 instance with the V5 filename)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] florelui001p:
If you didn't see the progress bar then something went wrong, I'd recommend you to try again. You need to see that blue bar when you restart to continue on, I used the v4 blob and had no issues not sure if v5 might be why your having such issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zhamrock:
Hi - I have managed to root the device but for some reason can't boot the CWM recovery. Could anyone help? Tried both blob v4 and v5 with no luck. I'm on the latest stock fw HRI66.TW_epad-8.2.3.9-20110423.

Tried 'adb reboot recovery' end up just rebooting the device.
