[Eee Pad Transformer General] Kasimodo:
Hello,

(First sorry for my very bad english. It's not my natural language but I do my best for sharing with you!)

04/13 - UPDATE: Now 3G works for ICS with some ROMs like Megatron.

Revolver will be based on TF101G ICS ROM soon.

09/17 - UPDATE:Roach2010 and gnufabio have developped an apk that enable Mobile Network settings (for 3G dongle).

Their APK change the bootloader. (Read more and download)

So maybe this thread has no purpose except for issues and for the list of compatible dongles. If you have a dongle which work and which is not in the list.....

11/08 - UPDATE: 3G dongle works too with Extension-Kit/TFUSB1 Asus P/N 90-XB2UOKEX00020

You can find it here: http://shop.asus.fr/shop/fr/fr-FR/Home/1-Produits/1500-Collection-ASUS/1936-Accessoires-Eee-Pad/1937-Accessoires-Transformer-Prime-TF201/90-XB2UOKEX00070-Adaptateur-USB-externe-pour-ASUS-Eee-Pad.aspx (Thanks to ValenteL for information)

Bellow you can find the first post

Thank you,

FIRST POST:

There is probably other ways to make the 3G Dongle working on TF101 but here you can find how we have done.

The follow lines work to have Prime v1.5 installed on your Transformer (works with any version!)

Then you could upgrade to Revolver 2.1.

Otherwise you can directly nvflash your TF101 with the Revolver 2.5 NVFlashed version of cuckoopt.

You just have to follow instructions on this post.

Don't forget to thank him if it works for you

Note: SetCpu doesn't seem to work. I don't know if the issue is coming from Revolver or HC. By re-installing SetCpu, it works one time then crashes.

A. Prime V1.5 Installation:

1. You have to backup all your data/apk from your Internal SD Card because we will make a clean install. So use your backup software.

Becareful. if you project to use Titanium Backup, his backup files are on the internal SD Card so afterwards, you have to move it to your MicroSD (from /mnt/sdcard/Titatium Backup to /data/Removable/MicroSD)

2. Download NVFlash: http://www.filefactory.com/file/ccda97c/n/nvflash.zip then the NVFlash version of Prime v1.5: http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/roach2010/flash_roms/prime_v1.5_nvflash.tar.bz2

Updated note: I am not able to activate the Mobile Network option with version 1.6 (even Zip version for ClockWorkMod nor NVFlash version).

But some people have succesfully activated it by flashing NetFinder 1.5 just after the fresh Install of Prime v1.6 and before rebooting the system ; it means in the same CWM

3. unpack NVFlash and Prime v1.5 in the same directory. The image files of Prime v1.5 should be unpacked into the NVFLashTF folder.

4. Connect your TF101 to your PC via USB. Then hold the volume UP and Power button until a NEW device named "APX" appears in the Device Manager. Note that the screen of the Transformer stays black.

5. Click on the APX to install drivers from directory USBPCDriver (included in NVFlash.zip)

info: I used Windows XP 32 bits.

6. Then run Download.bat if you are on Windows, download.sh for Linux users

7. When NVFlash is ended, reboot your TF101.

During boot, there is a setup wizard. Choose connection with "3G and Wifi", not "only Wifi"!!

At this step, you must have the Mobile Network option in Parameters.

8. Download Maxh2003 Script: http://android.modaco.com/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=73836 (you need to be a register user on Modaco You could find another link some posts after!)

Download the Patch files for ACER A500 tab: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=638588&d=1309189189

9. Unzip the script and the Patch file in the same directory.

If you want to upgrade

to Revolver 2.1 version

(HoneyComb 3.2), you must stop here and

go to step B

(chapter B).

Otherwise continue chapter A.

10. Connect your TF101 and run install-TF101.bat

11. Mobile Network option is here.

B. REVOLVER 2.1 Installation

1. Do a fresh install of Prime v1.5 NVFlsh version.

If it's not the case go back to the begin of this post and execute steps A.1 to A.9. then go back to B.2

2. Download this file

3. If you read this, Prime v1.5 NVFlash version is installed and you are in CWM Recovery screen.

Install the Recovery 2.1 version (Full). DON'T WIPE DATA

4. At the end, just reboot your system and verify that Mobile Network option is still here.

5. Then we have to install drivers for your dongle (see the list below for compatible dongles).

Let your TF101 on, connect it to your PC via USB cable and run install-TF101.bat via cmd.exe from Windows (tested under Windows XP x86 and Windows 7 x64)

C. List of COMPATIBLE DONGLES

Note: if your dongle is not in this list, but works with TF101,

please tell me. It will be added to the list

.

D. About LED on HUAWEI 3G Dongle:

[/B]

The LED indicator displays the current connection status of your Orange E1752 dongle, with each colour representing a different status:

And dont forget to turn off the composite device of the 3G dongle.

Here how to do (
