Yeah its an issue with the CPU type, its the same reason you couldn't virtualize or install windows on Macs before they changed to an x86 architecture. Windows 8 is the first one designed to run both on x86 and ARM processors, its much deeper than drivers though, even the applications will have to behave differently.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TRLOS:
check out the links..... someone obviously has a TF101 with windows 7 on it.

Just a matter of finding out how it was done.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] johnsto:
Since the TF101 uses a Tegra 2 processor (not an Intel CULV as some early press reports stated), and Windows 7 does not support the Tegra 2 architecture, unfortunately installing Windows 7 on it is not possible.

Windows 8 will have ARM support, so there'll be a chance that works...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TRLOS:
forgive me for being dumb...... but check the date release on those articles. They are only 2 weeks old. I dont think it would be humanly possible to swap out the chipset, redesign the boards architecture and have it fully released in stores in just 1 week. These guys must have gotten their info from somewhere.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
Two weeks old? Can I borrow your Tardis then, because all three are dated in March! :)

March 12th

[Eee Pad Transformer General] thecaptain0220:
Its not a matter of switching the chip set and redesigning it. Those articles are just plain wrong and off base. It seems like they were just speculating based on other similar tablets being released at the time. The TF101 has an the Tegra 2 which is clearly a fact. All these articles mention completely different hardware. One of them even mentions a core i5.

It is not possible with the hardware that is in the tablet to run any current version of Windows. I promise there is not a TF101 somewhere running Windows 7, even internally at ASUS.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] RedMist:
Someone, somewhere, made a mistake and others ran with the story.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] WheresWaldo:
Apparently reading comprehension is low here or many of you didn't actually read the article attached and just assumed by looking at the pictures.

1. Pictures are not of the TF101, look at the placement of the mini HDMI vs the headphone jack. This is obviously a different model

2. CPU is claimed to be an Intel CULV model not a nVidia SOC of any kind.

3. As previously stated there is no current Windows desktop version that will run on any type of ARM device, so the current TF won't/can't run windows.

4. Just because the headline is dated two months ago doesn't mean there is a working version, there seems to be just enough to send to the FCC for certification.

5. Most likely a pre-production tablet used for testing and/or development, so yes they can swap internal parts and test to their hearts content.

Just because we may wish it to be true doesn't make it so.

If you really want an Asus tablet running Windows they already have the ASUS Eee Pad (Eee Slate) EP121-1A011M Intel Core i5.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TRLOS:
woops... i meant 2 months. (fingers ran away from me..my bad)

...still, that isn't a lot of time to completely redesign tablet architecture.

But, given the benefit of the doubt....what are the chances of even dual booting the WP7, WM6.5 or even the Windows 8 Beta version on these tablets ?

Heck, they were able to install Windows 98 on the HD2. I hadn't done it personally, but saw a thread on how to make it happen.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
It's clearly a preproduction model - you can see that it's running a 2.x version of Android from the icons in the top notification bar! ;)

Regards,

Dave
[Eee Pad Transformer General] WheresWaldo:
Why is this in the Dev thread?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TRLOS:
Could 1 of the Developers give an indication whether it would be possible to port another OS to these tablets ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
They didn't redesign the tablet - the article(s) are all wrong. Occams razor! ;)

Unless we get a version of NVFlash that works with the Transformer, zero.

Even with a version of NVFlash that works with the Transformer, the chances are pretty close to zero without access to source.

In an emulated environment - very different thing to running Windows 7!

Dave

This ^^^^^^^^^^
[Eee Pad Transformer General] binarybulge:
Why is this thread even here?

Maybe it's cocky of me to even ask, but I find it hard to believe that people in the dev section don't understand that Windows is currently x86 and not ARM. It's been that way forever. You'll never get Windows on an Android tablet until x86 versions of Android become commonplace.

Speculation is that Windows 8 will support ARM but I'm extremely skeptical. It makes no sense. ARM versions of windows wouldn't be able to run x86 executables unless there's some sort of emulation layer, and the performance would be horrible. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft shelves that feature before Windows 8 is released.

I'm hopeful we'll see native Ubuntu on ARM, but even then, who cares. I mean, we're expecting all this from a $399 tablet here. We splurged on this expensive toy; if we can spend that on a toy, we can buy a cheap laptop/netbook and throw or OS(es) of choice on it.

</rant>
[Eee Pad Transformer General] javroch:
It's definitely NOT possible as others have already stated in this thread. Windows does not currently run on the ARM CPU architecture at all. People have gotten older versions of windows working, only Windows 3.1 and early afaik but they did so through a DOS emulator that you launch from within Android and the performance is supposed to be ****ty.

When Windows 8 comes out, that is said to have an ARM compatible version that we might be able to install, but that's not going to be for a while.

[Acer Iconia A500] hoici:
FYI,

My A500 can't read the SD card , i try to format to fat16 fat32, but still can't.

try already switch off the machine ,but still can't. any idea or sulotion??:confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] bonzer2u:
use SDformatter 3.0 freebee, format with overwrite. power off your tab, insert card, power on and file browse to /mnt/external_sd

you should see your xGB SD....
[Acer Iconia A500] GeneralSmart:
I have the same problem...formatted it, restarted....after ages it recognized my sd....but it seems randomly seen....i guess with 3.1 this bug will be gone!
[Acer Iconia A500] bonzer2u:
sounds like you may have defective hardware?????
[Acer Iconia A500] Iyashu5040:
I'm having the same problem. I've formatted, factory reset, restarted, everything. I'm gonna try and dd a stock USA system.img and see what happens...
[Acer Iconia A500] monki-magic:
if it helps

I stuck mine in the micro to normal SD adapter, then put it into my canon DSLR and performed a low level format.

worked after that :)
[Acer Iconia A500] bonzer2u:
I use SDformatter 3.0 on my windoze machines via micro to USB adapter......

[HTC Sensation] Super Chimp:
Seems a fairly positive review so why only give it 80% I wonder?
[HTC Sensation] rp-x1:
Hi read that today, and their Xperia Arc review.

They preferred the UI of the Arc to the Sensation, but the Sensation had better build quality. After playing with a colleague's Arc today, the Sensation feels like a proper gadget rather than a toy!

80% isn't a bad score at all from El Reg, a majority of excellent bits and bobs are between 80 & 90%. If they score any higher, then they're pretty much exceptional.
[HTC Sensation] Super Chimp:
I don't have any complaints about my Arc's build quality and I certainly don't regard it as a toy in that respect.
[HTC Sensation] ehrine:
El Reg do seem to have a habit of scoring non-apple phones low. They didn't have much bad to say about the Galaxy S2 but only gave it 85%.
[HTC Sensation] rp-x1:
I meant in regards to the fact it feels very plasticy compared to a unibody aluminium body.
[HTC Sensation] daivik:
I think 80% is a good score as is 85%. If they give it 90% or 95%, what will they give the S3/HTC's next flagship/KAL-EL generation phones/Nexus 3! o_0
[HTC Sensation] CSharpHeaven:
Motorola Defy (I own it currently) scored 85%, half the price of Sensation and still on Android 2.1.

That doesn't tell me Sensation scored well with "them".
[HTC Sensation] Super Chimp:
That's a point I concede. But I think the Arc has the more pleasant design. In fact it's probably one the best in that respect for current Android devices.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braggo:
Is there a way in CM7 to set different ringtones besides the default ringtone for contacts? I'd prefer to not use another app if possible, if not is there one? I'm running Slayher's RC0.3.

If you followed the directions exactly on a version 4 phone, this should work no problem.

Haxcid

Links to the necessary files are listed at the bottom.

Remember, I am not at fault if you brick your phone, now, proceed.

Connect your phone in charge only mode to install the LG Bootstrapper and drivers, or grab the LG Universal Drivers.

Change your USB Mode to Internet Connection

Go into Settings/Applications/Development and ensure USB Debugging is turned on

If all goes according to plan, you should see the ADB Ladybug icon in your notification bar

I updated the Rootzwiki page with the same info found below.

Busybox actually comes installed by LG on the Revo, how awesome is that??

Download the rageagainstthecage binary

Download the SU binary

Move these files to the same directory your adb.exe is in.

Code:

The > and # characters below illustrate the prompt

you should have, if you have the $ when you go into adb shell,

exit out and type 'adb usb' then go back into adb shell and

you should see the #

Open Command prompt (either use the Windows Key+R and type cmd or start/run, then type cmd)

32-bit users: >cd c:\program files\android\android-sdk\platform-tools

64-bit users: >cd c:\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools

Or >cd (whatever directory adb is in)

>adb devices (verifies you are connected)

>adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/temp/rage

(if the above command fails due to read-only, type 'adb usb' then 'adb root' to validate root status, then 'adb devices' again to verify connection)

>adb push su /data/local/temp/su

>adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/temp/rage

>adb shell ./data/local/temp/rage

>adb shell (If this gives you a $ prompt instead of a # prompt, type 'su', if that fails, 'exit', 'adb usb' like above.)

#mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p12 /system

#busybox cp /data/local/temp/su /system/bin/su

#chmod 6755 /system/bin/su

Verify the file is in place w/correct permissions

#cd /system/bin

#ls -l *su

After the ls command you should see the following returned by the system:

-rwsr-sr-x root	root	26248 2011-05-29 01:09 su

At this point, you may way to remove the files you put in /data/local/temp (optional):

#rm /data/local/temp/su

#rm /data/local/temp/rage

continue with commands

#reboot

Download and install SuperUser from the Market

[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
Just a note for some. The rageagainstthecage bin file may be detected as a virus/trojan. It is not. You may want to disable your antivirus before downloading the .bin file.

I run avira on my desktop and it caught the file as a virus everytime I downloaded it and then deleted it. Avast on my laptop however did not.

Root is simple if you follow the instructions. You need to make sure that adb recognizes your device. Takes 5 minutes to complete, took me longer to install adb again and update it.
[LG Revolution] bwhxeon:
Any reason to not use the one click method? Seems to be working
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
No idea. I have not used the one click. Create a thread for it. I posted what I know which is adb.
[LG Revolution] Cutterstark:
Successfully Rooted

with RootzWiki instructions for Windows, needed the remount and busybox lines to overcome the permission denied when pushing su.
[LG Revolution] MXFrodo195:
Hey guys, either using S1C or ADB Commands, have we found out if it's possible to unroot this as long as you Nand Backup the stock rom then unroot from there yet? Just because I got this phone as a filler/4g unl. lock and got buyback on it from best buy so I could buy a dual/quad later on when they come out :).
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
Doing a factory reset I believe will unroot you. There is no nand back up at this time. We are waiting for a recovery mod.
[LG Revolution] MXFrodo195:
Oh ya I know, I just always keep a stock one, on the Inc if you factory reset from an AOSP rom, you'd bootloop, so you had to make sure you were on a Sense 1.0 or stock rom(from my experience), so I was just making sure it was no big deal to go back.

Any idea when we will have cw on this?
[LG Revolution] navycow:
I tried the factory reset. I am still rooted.
[LG Revolution] MXFrodo195:
That's what i figured. Can anyone verify if you remove SU and Rage through adb will it unroot?
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
If you have to return your device, simply remove the superuser app, after you unfreeze anything you may have frozen then factory reset. They honestly will never know it was rooted. The only way now that you can really tell is the super user app from market.
[LG Revolution] navycow:
Just so everyone knows. SuperOneClick can root and unroot this phone ok.
[LG Revolution] mjones1175:
Thank you for confirming this. My revolution just came in the mail today!
[LG Revolution] stetsonaw:
Thanks for posting this here for me Haxcid!

Sent from 1885
[LG Revolution] MXFrodo195:
Cool thanks for checking. Any benefits for ADB over S1C? Can't wait to finally root and freeze half these apps. I think we need a few more twitters to praise koush for a recovery on this beast.
[LG Revolution] stetsonaw:
Is there recovery for this now? Did I miss something?
[LG Revolution] MXFrodo195:
No No, I was saying we need to praise Koush's good work so he will make one faster :).

And Stetsonaw, any idea if I root through ADB, can I unroot with S1C, since it uses the same idea.

S1C for whatever reason will not run(tried three computers, a XP, Vista, and Win7 lol), it keeps freezing at the same spot, everytime.
[LG Revolution] stetsonaw:
Should be able to, since S1C does what the ADB method does... or you could just delete the 'su' file out of /system/bin and /system/xbin (if it's there) to unroot.

EDIT: I couldn't get S1C to open on my desktop, and my laptop, which would open the program, would bluescreen when i connected the phone, so i had no choice but to do it the ADB way.
[LG Revolution] MXFrodo195:
Hmmm, ya now my computer for whatever reason won't open up ADB through command. This is getting irritating lol. Should be nice and simple, but it just won't go through. If I downloaded the SDK Manager like 4 months ago, it shouldn't matter, correct?
[LG Revolution] stetsonaw:
make sure you change directory to wherever your adb.exe is located... as in:

cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
[LG Revolution] MXFrodo195:
I do. It says it cannot find path directory. And i am typing in exactly what it says under its location. Its weird.
[LG Revolution] stetsonaw:
Post up a screenshot of the folder that has the adb.exe. Make sure you have Show Path turned on in folder options. Alt+PrintScreen, paste it in paint, yada yada.
[LG Revolution] MXFrodo195:
Its getting late here. I'm gonna head to bed and see if i can spearhead it tomorrow. Ill post a shot of it then. Must be doing something simple wrong. I'm typing cd then the exact location of the adb.exe folder.
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
(Winblows) If u navigate to the folder adb is in using explorer or whatever, shift + left click on a blank spot in the folder >> open command prompt here. If that's not what ur doing disregard my hangover talking...

Super easy way

super 1 click root: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

It works as long as you can connect your phone. Remember to put it in debug and internet connection. It should just breeze right through as long as you have the drivers.

Can't find the drivers? Check here: http://www.lgforum.com/resources

WHQL are of particular interest (Verizon, of course)

I think stetsonaw reported earlier that the z4root does not work. Only the S1C with the gingerbreak works properly.

Was having the,same issue. Did a factory wipe and things worked flawlessly. There was something I had installed that was making s1c and the manual method fail.

If you do a factory wipe, you may want to check for root access first since thecubed never had to unroot his phone. It came rooted...
[LG Revolution] zcheeley:
tried that as well, multiple wipes. the only thing i can think of is that these devices have to be activated. i'm just grabbing them off the shelf, bypassing activation screen, and plugging them into my laptop (i've tried three separate phones, all with the same problem) i know my laptop has functioning adb as i use it with my xoom frequently. i just dont have a damn SIM, lol. hey customer, mind if i void your warranty real quick? you can free wifi tether!
[LG Revolution] stetsonaw:
LOL, why don't you root the one that is on display? Those ones are typically activated... i remember a dev who once rooted and installed a custom rom on a DX a while back, while it was hooked up to the security strip at a VZW store.
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
Dang... Doing the <Power><VolDown> factory reset did it for me...
[LG Revolution] zcheeley:
revolution must be ACTIVATED for root to work

after much experimentation i can 100% verify that all S1C/ADB/thecubed root methods will fail unless the device has an activated SIM. does anyone know why this is the case?

might want to include this bit of info in the instructions.

Cell radios and SIM card not working/recognized after rooting and working in CWM...any ideas?

NOTE: Force close when trying to switch from 3G to 4G, this menu item in settings will not open. Everything else appears to work fine.

UPDATE/SOLUTION: I forgot that I had turned off the 4G signal so the phone was not finding service upon booting. I had to remove the 4G sim card and reboot the phone, then turn LTE/CDMA back on, turn the phone back off and put the 4G sim back in, then reboot.
[LG Revolution] KaneOfMars:
so friggin frustrated with this, been at it for 2 days now .....

Not having any luck with doing this manually or with s1c

when i push RATC i get nothing

when I run adb devices is shows " 'serial number' device"

when i try to run adb usb or adb root i get an error msg error: protocol fault <status 72 65 73 74?!>

when I try to use s1c it hangs up at "pushing gingerbreak" (same goes for psneuter)

I've tried a factory reset and still the same thing

the only thing i can think of at this point is that I'm running a virtual windows xp machine on my mac (don't have access to a pc)

any thoughts?
[LG Revolution] Icemans2k02:
Can you not put boot camp on your Mac and just run xp on it. What I did with my air. Also sounds like a driver issue. I had the same problem before and it was because the software driver wasn't correct.

[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
If you have updated your phone with the update verizon released the other day... you will not be able to get root back until another exploit has been found. If you have not updated then make sure that 4G is turned on before beginning the root process.

I did not update and also I don't have 4G as I bought my phone just as a back up when 4G comes to my city so can I still root it ?
