I'm surprised that it hasn't gotten an OTA update to 2.2.1.

Flashing someone else's phone is always a risky proposition and can brick the phone.

Seriously, you should just do a power&camera (or power&back) into boot-loader and post everything that screen says.

However, if you are determined to do it anyway, for something that is pretty quick and reliable, using Froyo by Laszlo is pretty nice, or ADS_Magpie (note, the need for a custom MTD).

First things first, you will need to follow the directions in the SPL/Radio thread to get you onto Amon_Ra and the right SPL/Radio combination.

SPL/Radio: 1.33.0013d/2.22.28.25,

And a custom recovery: Amon_Ra-v1.7.0.

The custom Rom: FroyobyLaszlo.

Latest Kernel: ezTerry kernel for Froyo.

Once these are saved, you will need to also grab Oshaka's SuperWipev2.

Seriously, you sure you want to do this? Flashing a custom radio/spl can brick the phone if not done correctly or the correct versions aren't used.

Here are the steps:

1) Follow the instructions in the SPL/Radio post to get you onto Ra and the right Radio/SPL for your phone.

2) Boot into recovery (Amon_Ra) and format your SDCard (Then upgrade the ext partition to ext3 or ext4 - I use ext4)

3) Copy Ohshaka's SuperWipe, Froyo, and Ezterry's kernel to your sdcard using USB-MS or adb

4) Make a Nandroid backup

5) Flash Ohshaka's Superwipe

6) Flash Froyo

7) Fash Ezterry's Kernel

8) Reboot into your new Rom install

i know that it is risky as usual, but he does not have service (as it is a phone from england...) and he just uses it sometimes..

file:///C:/Users/sadiemax/Desktop/android/cyanogen/HTC_Dream%20_Rooting.htm

start with this tutorial it is quite helpful

when you have gone through all this and want to try some other roms than update to the latest radio/spl -- the 2708

if you have problems using sdk and or fastboot there are great tutorials on that, just search the xda forum and you will find plenty.

check out the rom bible (a bit outdated) has many roms to choose from and helpful tips.

also easyfastboot and droid explorer are a must have once you get that far

also try super d for your first rom! you will love it!

any other questions search forum and if you still need help post:D

Here's a video of Shadowgun running silky smooth on the Galaxy Nexus. The only way I could get this game to run at all on my CM7 SGS "same GPU and all", was with Chainfire3D and reducing textures and lowering quality.

[YOUTUBE]2YRYMh3ShzA#![/YOUTUBE]
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RaptorMD:
SWEET! I have been playing it on my iP4S (soon to be replaced by a GNex) and that certainly runs as good as if not better than the iP4S.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
Yeah I guess this game is the reference in terms of mobile graphics, so it's safe to say that if the Nexus can run this game it can run pretty much anything on the market today and probably for the next 6-12 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andrmgic:
well, considering that the GPU in the nexus runs at 384Mhz.. compared to the 200-something mhz it ran at in the SGS.. it only makes sense that it would perform better in the nexus.

The primary concern is that it isn't in the same league as the Mali 400 in the Galaxy S II and folks are wondering why Google chose an comparatively underpowered gpu for their 'flagship' nexus device..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
My guess is for the pentaband radio. Probably other reasons as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
That's probably because nexus devices aren't really flagships. They are 1 per year, and coincide with new android releases. They are development phones. My guess is they don't use the best hardware cause they are meant to set a bar for manufacturers as an example of what can be done with the phone and new OS. If it was set high, and used the best hardware, then manufactures might have to use the best hardware to get good results with the new android version. And that might possibly push manufacturers and developers away.

this is just my guess and opinion :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andrmgic:
Maybe flagship isn't the right word.. but being the first device to get android 4.0, you'd think they would want it to be the benchmark for all android devices to measure up to..

Granted, the nexus is exactly what I wanted.. great screen, pure google device (no manufacturer or carrier crap), decent hardware, Android 4.0, first in line for updates..

I would have been a bit happier if it was actually more powerful than the SGS II, though :D

tanx i just preordered the prime since Amazon preorders sold out

is the keyboard going to be available in grey? I have not seen it in grey yet, would like it to match the tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nook-color:
Like this one

I don't think you have to worry about finding a Matching keyboard for grey tablet. Maybe right out of the gate. But not after that.

Here's a Video Review 1 of 2 that demonstrates a grey tablet / keyboard combo. There will be a new video @ Ritchiesroom illustrating the user functionality later today

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blaziner18:
A guy at future shop told me i didn't need to preorder the device as they don't even have preorders up and not many people will even know about the device in my medium town area.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yhzhrm:
I'd take take with a grain of salt. Future shop has the Prime up for pre-order, Sold out though. Also all the other Big Box staores in Canada Best Buy pre-order sold out today. Staples.ca has the four models listed for pre-order. All sold out except for the 32gb Champagne miodel.

Yes, they wil be in the stores, but I doubt before Christmas, but just a hunch on my part. Good luck.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BongoBong:
Yah I definitely wouldn't listen to that best buy guy. If they were guarunteed to get some stock in store then sure maybe. But as it is right now, and was for the original there was only online orders for quite awhile. I was getting my mom to order from bestbuy.ca since I am visiting the family in calgary for christmas and figured I might as well save on taxes but she hasn't done it yet and now they are sold out!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] polbit:
I've pre-ordered mine through Best Buy on 11/25, and under Order Status it says Release Date is 12/18/11. Not sure I would trust that, but I'm hoping this means I can get it before Christmas...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] begadkepat:
I was going to pre-order on Amazon, but I missed my chance. I was going to pre-order on Best Buy.com, but by the time I got around to doing it, I saw that the grey keyboard dock was 'Backordered'. Should this deter me? Should I just risk my chances and head to the stores when it's released? So many choices.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htowngator:
BHphotovideo.com still has them up for pre-order
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flyingwolf:
As does Tiger Direct
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mapas01:
I thought I read somewhere on one of the thread that the dock was going to be $100. Is it confirmed at $150?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
$150 is the price I see online and in the inventory system.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adampdx:
I pre-ordered from BB and it says 12/18. So I'm wondering, if Newegg and Gamestop have earlier dates and they turn out to be the correct release date, would Bestbuy hold back their release? I cannot think of a logical reason that they would do something like that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htowngator:
IMO they are all guessing or Best Buy hasn't updated their system.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Delosari:
Preordering in the States from abroad

Hello Viperboy, thank you for your post. I would like to ask you a question (although I would appreciate anyone's advice)

You might be aware of the increase in price of the prime in Europe with the conversion in Euros...

I was thinking of buying just the tablet from the states and wait to buy the Spanish version of the dock. I have asked some of the official sellers and they can send it to me all right but they do not provide any substantial detail in how much the tax will be...

Do you guys know if it is worthy? Also have you ever tried any of those companies like "Unibox" which create for you an US address and they mail you the products?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] blackinjun:
Does anyone know for a fact whether Best buy charges at the time of order or shipping. Their sales department online is saying at the time of order
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RussianMenace:
I pre-ordered via BB.com and they haven't charged me yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diversion:
Viper, keep us posted..

A lot of us want to know if it'll be released in-store for pickup on launch day.. Which is tentatively Dec 8th.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irishtexmex:
+1. If BestBuy doesn't charge until the tablet is shipped, and we know the tablet will be in stores say two days before it's released, then I would love to cancel my preorder and wait out in line for it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
It must be the day or something in the water......

I have pretty much decided on either iPad 2 or to wait until spring and buy a tv for Christmas. However, I too, was at my local BB in Bradley, IL this afternoon, talking to 3 guys about tablets and what I knew about each just for time to kill. They all spoke of the TF 2 and all said that other than preorders, store units won't be until February. They mentioned issues at Asus end. Just for the record I posted in the GameStop thread that my local GameStop was saying January or February as well. Not a troll as I originally sold my TF 1 a couple weeks ago thinking the TF 2 was on its way. BB Guys said tablet sales slow now, because there were so many that came out at once this year and there seems to be a better one on the horizon a month or two away. They said iPad 2 are slowing as well as increased speculation on a iPad 3 release in mid February 2012.

I'm on my OG iPad right now and it's fine. I'm frustrated and kind of bored with the tablet chase. But it's almost addicting to be on the cutting edge lol. Next week will be make or break for the holidays on these beauties and I'm still rooting for you all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beavertank:
I know you have nothing to do with this viperboy, but if you ever get the chance to talk to a representative of corporate or if anyone higher up the chain ever asks you how to improve customer satisfaction tell them this:

Get your CSRs to stop lying to customers, and tell your executive customer support team to return their voicemails/emails.

The CSRs I spoke to told me continuously that the emails I was getting about billing errors were a problem on BB's end, that nothing was wrong on my end, and that if the billing team discovered that wasn't the case they'd call me back (and I got no call). From everything I could tell on my end this was true, the amount was charging properly as far as I could tell.

And then the order was cancelled - for billing problems - and the CSRs told me there was no way they could give me my spot back in line, even with different billing information.

All subsequent calls and emails to executive customer service have gone unanswered.

They won't listen to me, but maybe (someday) they'll listen to you - If you ever get the chance, tell them the best way to make people like them better is to actually RESPOND, and NOT LIE when you do.

the info below is squished, but what its saying is that Guelph has 168 primes incoming. i checked this info (that is updated in real time) two days ago, and it had 12 incoming. I my self have no idea what that means, but thats a pretty interesting update I think.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
I don't know if you care or not, but you can get a 64GB iPad 2 from www.1saleaday.com/wireless for $350. It's a refurb, but still, for that price it's a really good deal!

I'm very sorry you had to deal with that, and trust me, I understand and apologize. I wish I could do something for ya, but they don't listen to us really :o
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
iPad 2 would not be my second choice if there were no Primes. For starts the iPad to has a small screen, lower resolution, low quality web/digital camera.

The original Transformer, the Galaxy 10.1, Motorola XOOM 2 are IMO better on the tech spec and they all run Android like the Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Meanee:
I am not an iPad fanboy by any means, but you cannot deny that A5 kicks Tegra 2's ass all over the place.

Pixel count is a bit lower, and cameras are just pathetic excuse for one. But CPU is much better, for being same generation as Tegra 2.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jordache16:
Has anyone else noticed that the Champagne model is no longer on BestBuy.com?

The OP's link to the 32GB Champagne model is broken and searching BestBuy for TF201 only shows 3 results (the Gray 32GB model and the two docking stations)

Searching for TF201-B1-CG doesn't return any results...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Meanee:
It's not very surprising. Some retailers will pull the product page when they are so overwhelmed that even pre-orders are backordered. Amazon did the same. So did Newegg. And now looks like Best Buy joined the club
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sdelliott31:
Thanks for the link. I would have pulled the trigger as I hate there is no expansion, so 500.00 for just 16gb is pricey despite the way it looks and the app store. Needless to say I just missed the deal. All sold out or I would have pulled the trigger.

Yeah. I agree with the other poster. I love BB for looking at gadgets but hate being hounded at every turn asking if I need help. If I loiter anywhere then they swoop in like vulchers. Then, I hate if some don't know their material that they just don't say, hey I'm not sure but we can look it up. They just come up with whatever and it's frustrating, but this isn't bashing BB so back on topic. Good luck everyone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chickswearhats:
Thanks on your meter and thank you very much on here. I really appreciate you checking into that. The confirmation alone makes me feel much better.

I think I'm just going to wait and see what happens and try to pre-order on BB.com again once it lets you. If that doesn't happen at least there's some sort of general date when they'll be in-store.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adampdx:
So the 18th is a Sunday, when will they start shipping? Should we expect shipping to begin on the 19th? That's a pretty narrow window if we're looking for a pre-Xmas arrival.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
I believe Viperboy said they would ship the next day, so they should go out on the 19th.

Update: Yep
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
So if it's now going to ship on the 19th (maybe, probably), then I'm wondering if I should change my shipping to 2nd day from standard. I did want to save a few bucks, thinking that it's supposed to arrive during the window 12/18-12/23, but if it's not shipping until the 19th that range now seems suspect.

Is it possible to call Best Buy and have them change shipping type without screwing up the order and losing my place in line?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] techjunkie9194:
When I asked about going from 2nd day to next day I was told there was no way other than canceling and reordering.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] infinitemethod:
I pre-ordered the tablet and dock a day apart, because I couldn't find the grey dock until someone posted the link on this forum. I just called to upgrade the shipping on the dock to overnight so I'd get them both at the same time. The guy I just spoke with said he can't upgrade the shipping because it's already left the distribution site and is headed to UPS. I asked, is the tablet showing that it's left there as well and he said yes and that I should get my shipping confirmations today. Interesting.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NoTanFightFan:
I was told it would not affect my preorder status and I changed to 2nd day shipping without canceling or reordering. The rep just edited my shipping method and charged my card an additional 17.99.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
When I ordered on the 6th, there was no option other than Free Shipping. I am not sure whether this is Standard or not, but I assume it is. Not sure why I was not given an option when others claim to have been offered, but I plan to just deal and hope it gets here before the holiday weekend.

If not I will take the beating my wife gives me and play with it the week after. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bootstrap Bill:
Is anyone selling them for less than MSRP?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Maybe I'll give them a call, thanks. Still makes me nervous, but...

Update: Well, I gave a call, but the customer service rep said she couldn't change shipping on the order. No update on the order status (still "pending release," whatever that means), but also the shipping method was grayed out in the system.

Grrr.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NoTanFightFan:
The rep I spoke with said I should have it no later than the 21st. But she had no info on it shipping yet. She said it would most likely ship on the 19th.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
Thanks everyone for spreading your worry and fear. :)

I ended up calling Best Buy and confirmed the Free Shipping was standard and was able to upgrade my shipping. The Rep says their system is kind of funky and sometimes doesn't allow it. So if you got a negative on upgrading your shipping you might want to just keep calling back until it works for someone. They said it "should" be possible to upgrading the shipping until you are billed during the fulfillment process. Its just the system sometime flags stuff funny.

I got a nice scare too since the automated system told me there was a billing problem on my order, but the rep said all was good and it was probably because the item hasn't shipped yet because its a pre order.

Maybe viperboy knows more about the specifics about the Best Buy system, but this is what the rep on the phone told me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
They may have more access to things than I do, but let's say you come into the store and order something and want to change the shipping method, I have to cancel your order and replace it.

From my understanding, that is the only way to do it, but again, they may have different tools than I that allow them to do that. Personally, I wouldn't recommend modifying anything on these orders right now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
The lady I spoke with was pretty adamant that she couldn't change the shipping method. So, I opted to leave it as is. I'd rather get it a few days later than take a chance on losing the pre-order completely.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HorreC:
I haven't been adding to this thread but I have some info and a thought

Info: the BB here says their last shipment for the week is today. They do not show any in route. Not that its correct but it could be.

Thought: if its such a **** move to "rent" the tf101 (which I can see) isn't it just as big of a **** move to have sooooo many employees lie to consumers who maybe (and most are) hooked into the net and tell them. How many people on here have taken any word (not to include viperboy which I am greatful for. And hope they get a small team of tech people with info out on the forums one day for customer relations.) from a BB employee with a huge grain of salt? I don't trust 99% of anything out of their mouths. I say if they show reform (maybe with the idea I had or more) then I wouldn't feel bad about some people using loopholes. I wouldn't do that to fry's....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NoTanFightFan:
Well, I didn't have to cancel anything. She told me she just had to go in as if she was editing it and change the shipping method. I got a confirmation email a mintue later confirming the change. My card received an additional charge of 17.49+tax on the shipping. My order status looks the same as before, with the same pre release date, the only change is the cost. My order still says processing. I spoke with someone today to check on it, she said my order looked fine, my card had been authorized successfully, and now we were just waiting on fulfillment. My order date is even still the same.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xXxDieselxXx:
Ah! You guys are going to make me call and upgrade my shipment :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Okay, called back and this time the rep was able to make the change. Fingers crossed that my pre-order didn't somehow get screwed up. :eek:

Update: Funny, but my order status changed from:

To:

Not sure it's at all meaningful, but it's certainly interesting. Any chance that a change in shipper kicked my order into a different fulfillment process? Wishful thinking?

Update 2: Also funny, I just saw an authorization go through on my CC for the shipping charges, where I haven't yet see anything hit from Best Buy for the tablet itself. This is all so bizarre...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
Well they did update the order and the online status reflected the change immediately without any order number change or anything. Hopefully I did not screw myself by making the change, but I would have been getting after the holiday most likely anyway so not sure it made anything worse.

Thanks though Viperboy. I wish you worked at the Best Buy by me. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] new2q9c:
There was a guy that posted on FB with same status and it reverted back to in process.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NoTanFightFan:
Just a question to those who have successfully changed their shipping method to a quicker method. I did this successfully, as I noted above, but I have noticed that whenever I call back, I am being told that there is no ETA because it is a pre-order, although they expect it to arrive by next Thursday at the very latest. Do you guys know if the ETA sometimes comes late, or after shipment? I see some people already have them. Just want to make sure they can see my pre-order and will fulfill it. They said it was fine, I just want to make sure and I thought no ETA might mean something is up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UmbraeSoulsbane:
Not sure an ETA would be available til it ships.

I was told the automated phone system will choke on pre-orders and just forward you to a rep. That is what mine did before I changed my shipping.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Yep, mine's reverted as well. It's now back to:
