[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rmk40:
Not going to read this entire thread but the OP is completely wrong from a technical standpoint. If they're using AES128 (i.e. symmetric encryption), then the private key would be on the device itself. This key would need to be stored unencrypted for it to even function.

The more typical and practical security model in these situations is to use asymmetric encryption, storing only the public key on the device and using it to validate the signature of a bootloader or any other secure contents. Again, I did not read the thread to see if anyone else chimed in with the facts here but the technical conclusions drawn in the OP were so wrong I had to start typing.

All that said, unless Asus provides an unlock mechanism or we unlock it ourselves, I will not be keeping my device. There's no reason whatsoever that a device I own, which isn't even on a carrier network, should be restricted. If you want me to opt out of my warranty for tinkering, I'll do that. Completely locking down a device *I own and pay for* is absolutely unacceptable. Where does the line get drawn? Why is it acceptable to do this for a tablet/phone, when no company would ever dream of it (unless they were masochistic) when selling standard computers.

Bottom line, unacceptable Asus. Fortunately, we have choices, and I'll take my business elsewhere.

I tried to post on their facebook and I no longer see my post... I should have saved what I wrote, took like 10min to make a really nice and thoughtful post :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Not my fault someone else posted it was a 128bit encryption but still you agree we need to get the bootloader unlocked! its not a device on contract it should be ILLEGAL to do this!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lorthirk:
This reminds me a similar case, where the AC provided by Dell for Dell Studio XPS 1645 laptop proved to be far too weak to power up all the system properly, causing severe performances hit. After some days, a rep by Dell showed up on that forum and, working together with the community, acknowledged the mistake and sent out more powerful adapters for free to every customers. In that day I fell in love with Dell's support, and I think I'll never choose anything else for a laptop.

Given this, Asus... what's your move?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rmk40:
This isn't a matter of legality. If I'm a company who wants to sell a bad product, I should be able to sell my bad product. The free market sorts itself out. It's simple really, if restricting you from your own device bothers you, do not buy the product. There's no better way to send a message than simply not becoming a customer in the first place.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Actually it is stored on the device in sys/firmware/fuse idk which file but it has to be one of those probally /secure_boot_key So :P it just read/write is denied!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xmtsystems:
I sent my Prime back to Amazon for a refund last week, and decided I'm going to hold out to see what comes out in the coming months. My kindle fire can get me by until then. I shouldn't have sold my original transformer... ಥ_ಥ

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zeroibis:
That is also why as consumers we have a right to complain to a company when they make a product we do not like and tell them why. They should want to make products we want to buy and so we are only trying to help them out. Rather than just not buy it and have their sales suck and their stock go down we want to respect what they tried to do and tell them why we will not be buying their product and telling everyone we know to do the same.

If they are not making things we want to buy than there clearly is a communication problem between us and them. Things like this are working toward getting around that communication problem so that upper management finds out what we really want so they can sell us a good product that we will not only be happy to buy but tell everyone we know to buy as well.

On another note I found that you got to post as a comment on their wall or it will get removed. So please keep those comments coming ;)

EDIT I found I was just not viewing everyone's posts. :eek:

EDIT sorry if that edit was really late but it would not let me post it for 5min... :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ccsnet:
Exactly why I'm in 2 minds now.... I want to buy this with the view that the first few official builds will be on it but when the OEM stops supporting it I can still get value by say installing Cynogen with the latest revision....

Now if this is wrong fine - but I'm not made of money and I plan 3-4 years of life out of this and based on the way things are we are lucky for OEMs to send 1 maby 2 major updates out.

Better long term support people may not moan but lets face it - that costs money for devs....

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ins0mniacs:
I bet their going to try, knowing how they are trying to control the internet here its pathetic! It's not bad enough that google owns android and is further more doing more data collecting on us with this tablet but now this???

I was going to purchase 2 of the 64gib tab"s key word was (going to) and I am an asus fan boy/girl (too boot) but enough is enough. They just saved me a lot of money with this decision.

If i purchase a toaster and i want to make a Barbie house out of it they have no damn right to tell me that i can't, after all it's not like is that's a contract.

but yup that is how it goes (moving forward) . Is this still the internet or are we already on Google & Co?

dissapointed in asus , but I am drawing the line and standing up to this (b***)

I hope enough people will wake up and stop purchasing products that in the end don't even belong to us any

more.

peace
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] FunkyMcBain:
I love it, this has exploded! Good on the community.

As for "Help me I broke my tablet" the official response from Asus should be tough $hit. IF you changed the bootloader and messed with it they shouldn't have to worry about fixing it, simple as that, so from their perspective who really gives a rats a$$. I'm sure they could make use of a small amout of memory on board to keep track of whether someone has unlocked it and then if you try to send it in for repair it's game over. That's all they need to do, there is no need to lock the thing completely like this
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
I'm quite happy its locked actually. There's security knowing its not tampered with.

Those who don't like it are free to choose something else. Why crap about it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wordlywisewiz:
Thats what HTC did you have to unofficially unlock it from a tool they provide on their site! which also voids your warranty
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zviangi:
LOL, I can't believe they (ASUS) are such idiots... What were they thinking when locking a bootloader?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] David522d:
Why bother even writing that?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mnlmnv:
signed the petition, XDA is a greatest community...I believe we will have impact on Asus's decision. I was thinking of cancelling my order of the prime because of this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tbns:
Some people will surely choose another device because of this. How many? Who knows. But just as we are free to put out the word of discontent about it, ASUS is free to not unlock the bootloader.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MarkF001:
ASUS policy

Das ist vollkommen scheiße
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mitalbr:
This is funny locking with AES128!

What is ASUS's objective to lock this, even Sony has given an online service to unlock bootloaders. ASUS is just mad! I don't see any problems opening boot-loaders, you void warranty if you find tampered kernel, but why lock it forever?

Funny though!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ins0mniacs:
I agree 100% but i think the key is they (as in google) want to make sure your using android so they can do more data mining on us.

[Kindle Fire General] Kapurnicus:
I originally posted this in the kindle fire utility thread, but thought I might get faster help here.

Stuck on the yellow triangle after installing twrp using this utility. I have not unplugged the device. It says in tricks to try and hold the button for 20 seconds (the screen says waiting for device to put back into normal boot mode). That didnt work. It then says to check and see that it ISN'T coming up as a kindle in device manager, but doesn't say what to do if it is IS coming up as a kindle in device manager (mine is, kindle with an exclamation point next to it).

I originally had installed drivers to use adb by modifying the USB_init file or something in my android sdk, that was all fine and dandy. Just wanted you to know where my drivers were from (unless this utility over wrote that).

Tried to uninstall kindle in device manager, then turn off device, then turn back on and reinstall google driver, no go, still says no available driver in that folder (still have NOT unplugged the kindle).

Any help would be appreciated. Still plugged in and on the yellow triangle.

Thanks!

Edit: Instead of reinstalling my google drivers after uninstalling, i installed the ones that came with kfu. Idiocy to not try that to begin with. I'll leave this here for any other moron that tries to not use the proper drivers. *NOTE* If it says kindle in your device manager with a exclamation point sign after you hard reset the kindle, try to manually install the drivers in the kindle fire utility drivers folder and then tell it to boot into normal mode!
[Kindle Fire General] pete_kowalski83:
All you need to do is update your drivers in the .android folder, if it says kindle in device manager right click and choose update drivers. There's no reason to uninstall. This is where following directions and reading how.to.use adb can be very helpful. Do it once do it right. If anyone needs any help feel free to pm me and ill get to you when I can.

Hi,

i Need Help Please!!

I apologize in advance for being such a NOOB, first device i have ever tried to root and i am stuck....

Also, sorry but I can't post in the root thread because <10 posts...

So!

I wanted to root my Xoom (MZ604)

i unlocked it and everything went fine:

"

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

adb reboot bootloader

"

then following (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1010568) to root the xoom.

i did:

"

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

"

and now i am stuck at the dual core technology screen.....

Help Please!!
[Xoom General] okantomi:
If you're stuck at dual core logo, hold volume up and power to reboot, then once you see the dual core logo, count to 3 then press volume down. If done right you'll see android recovery in the top corner, if not you may see "starting fastboot protocol," press volume down again till you see "android recovery" then press volume up to load recovery and restore your device.
[Xoom General] villapanama:
Ok i tried it.....

after I hit volume up to select "android Recovery"

it enters Android recovery then i get "Reading ODM 1"

then it goes to a screen with the android dude with a triangle with exclamation mark....

and it stays there
[Xoom General] villapanama:
FIXED it!!!

i actually downloaded Stock Images and ran

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot

its good now!

Thanks for your Help!

Accidently updated my atrix 2 to 2.3.6. I then severely wanted root so I tried to flash back. I kept trying to install rsd lite but kept getting error 2738 when it was almost done installing. I googled for fastboot tools and found one on this forum. When i tried to flash an img, it apparently did not work even though I choose this fastboot tool because it said it was for atrix 2 and had atrix 2 img's with it. Now, my phone is stuck in fastboot mode and my computer can't recognize it.Any tips or help are greatly appreciated.

Atrix 2 stuck in fastboot mode

I update my atrix 2 to 2.3.6. OTA when it was released. I then update my phone to Supercharged V5 update 2. I hated that my phone could not run most games other phones with similar specs can run. I decided to install the drivers for chainfire 3d, the phone then rebooted past the red moto logo onto a blank screen. Ever since that happened i've only been able to boot into fastboot mode. I tried using the modified .xml file, and replacing the boot.img, cdt, device_tree etc. I don't know what else to do, this happened yesterday. This is also a warning to be careful with chainfire3d after update to 2.3.6. I used it before on 2.3.5 and i had no problem with it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rickyiswhite:
I had a G2 then it broke so for now I'm on a G1, when its time for my upgrade should I get the Amaze or Sensation?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
amaze get it :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] dubt17:
Haha, almost in the same situation as you, dropped my Sensation from 50ft, had to go back to my Nexus One for two months and hated it after having a big screen, front facing camera, and dual core proc. I recently got an Amaze off insurance and man, this thing kills the Sensation feature wise. The only difference is about 256MB more ram (which really helps), NFC, and a 1.5GHz stock speed (instead of the stock speed of 1.2GHz on the Sensation, but you could overclock without any ill effects to 1.5GHz). But if you can shell out the extra cash, get the Amaze. The only gripes I have right now are some light bleeding from the capacitive buttons but you can turn them off with screen filter, and it's a little bit bulkier, but barley noticeable.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
Amaze.

Amaze goes up to 42MB with HSPA+

Sensation goes up to 14.4MB. It doesn't have HSPA+.

Amaze has a 1.5GHz Dual Core

Sensation has a 1.2GHz Dual Core

Amaze runs really smooth. My brother has the Sensation and my phones runs better.
