I've just checked for software update and receive the notification for 1.57 but I cannot update OTA, it booted up the CWM recovery and said that it could not mount the update zip. I'm using the VOID 1.3 asia rom by e.japonica.

Any information everyone ?? Does this fix the Dialer issue for battery ?
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
you need to be on stock recovery to apply OTA updates.
[HTC ChaCha] e.japonica:
the dialer issue already fixed on android 2.3.5 which is EU 1.52~1.54. didn't know asia version OTA has 1.57...
[HTC ChaCha] icyrainz:
@e.japonica:

Could you update your ASIA cooked ROM to version 1.57. That would be awesome.
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
if any one has 1.57 please upload. we cannot cook a custom rom unless some one shares it

can anybody post a link to download 1.57 ruu ?
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
but it does not have link to the update :-).
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
There is no link and there will never be links to rom's or OTA's. All we have are leaked stuff :)

does anyone have the nandroid backup of this 1.57?
[Galaxy 3 General] android_murphy:
Hi Guys,

i recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 as my primary OS. I had been flashing a lot when i had a system with Windows 7, but the system i have now will not run the OS efficiently and thus my second option is Ubuntu.

I was wondering if there is any way to flash ROMs from a linux system, preferably Ubuntu.

Thanks,

Sam
[Galaxy 3 General] D@rekills4:
Download "Wine" from the Ubuntu Software Center, it can run Windows Softwares....

Just run Odin using Wine and do the usual and flash.... :)
[Galaxy 3 General] android_murphy:
Hmmm... but i have heard that Wine does not support USB. Anyway will check when i get home.
[Galaxy 3 General] dympy:
I once read somewhere there was something like Odin for Linux based system called Heimdall..

Maybe that's what you need?

Dympy.
[Galaxy 3 General] cdesai:
Won't work with our phones, needs a .pit file, aka partition table
[Galaxy 3 General] android_murphy:
Tried ODIN via Wine ... Doesn't detect the phone... :(

Really is there no other way?? How come i can't flash a Linux Kernel based OS from a Linux System (kinda ironical isn't it :'()??
[Galaxy 3 General] Arakmar:
I'm a linux user too and I tried almost everything I think.

Wine : It'll not work. No proper usb driver support.

Virtualbox : Odin detects the phone but fail when the flash process start. The reason is that Virtualbox acts as a wrapper between windows and Linux' usb so some data are modified.

In all cases, don't try anything with odin because it can result with a bricked phone if data transmmitted to the phone are incorrect during bootloader flashing.

So, I recommand to flash only with cwm via update.zip or adb push. It's possible to mount a rfs file on linux and then push all files via adb.

@android_murphy : Create an update.zip with your zImage. Use the zip used for CM7 kernel.
[Galaxy 3 General] mankokoma:
I'm also Linux user. Virtualbox does not work. But with VMwarePlayer (XP or Win 7) ODIN works fine. That's unfortunately the only way...
[Galaxy 3 General] werker123:
I use ubuntu as my main os and windows for flashing;) It's always good to have a working windows somewhere for odin;)
[Galaxy 3 General] android_murphy:
Yeah CWM update.zip is a good option but not everyone provides the entire rom via update.zip. I guess only the CM7 one is in that format.
[Galaxy 3 General] Arakmar:
Thanks for the info, it works well with VMWare :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
Since it appears this is limited to not very many people based off of how many people have responded to the thread I am assuming I am in the minority with the lockups so I just wanted to run a poll to get a better idea of the numbers we are dealing with here.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
Everything works just great for me with the new ICS update, maybe you should do a factory reset.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
I would but now am commited to helping ASUS dev team they sent me a diagnostic log tool I have to install and send them logs.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
After all this (13 page thread, and now a poll thread) you haven't done a factory reset?

I bet it will fix your issue. If not you can still be a ginny for Asus afterwards...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
from everything I read in the other thread factory reset did not help others have already tried.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
Have your tried checking (or un-checking) the GPU rendering option under development section in settings?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
force GPU rendering? unchecked for me I could try it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
Confirmed someone did a complete wipe and still having the problem all signs point to Hardware my worst fear.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
I was having some lagg in the market and in netflix, setting that GPU rendering (checked) option fixed it.

I have also read that it fixes the horizontal lines glitch some were having. Let me know if it seems to help.

(it is unchecked as default)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
so far so good but even if this works I want to know why my prime doesn't work normally

got a reply from asus development he said it looks like Linux stability issue and needs another log.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
Starting to look more widespread then I thought why is no one complaining anymore? GPS wear you out? :P:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
I have a nice steamy log for them if needed.

:) Hope you get your prime sorted out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fenturi:
Never rooted, no dev settings checked, and yeah it's rebooting a lot. Seems random and happens more as the battery go's down. (but only have had one day to test it)

In the last hour it's rebooted more than 10 times.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
everything running great since update to ICS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doeboy711:
Just received my new one yesterday evening and everything works great. I am rooted on 4.0.3!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] i3oomhower:
Updated my prime last night and it constantly reboots.

Most times it will reboot at the Asus boot animation. Sometimes it will make it into android and I can see a camera firmware update. I usually only get to play around for a few minutes before it crashes.

Going to call ASUS today if I can't figure anything out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] indiscriminant:
I had no initial issues after ICS, but didn't get much time to play with it due to work. Started getting the banding across my screen, tried a factory reset, transitions off, 2D rendering, etc none of it fixed the issue. Also have google + disabled as that was another thing people thought would work.

Tried individually and all together.

Then the banding has turned into lots of lock ups and reboots, about a dozen yesterday when clicking into different things, settings, various apps (facebook, maps, email, etc).

Only got it last Wednesday by delivery from BB, dock coming today. No issues with HC, figure I will wait it out until next tuesday and see if other updates happen. Maybe the local BB will have them in for exchange by then too. I like the tablet, I had a good one with HC (wifi/bt worked, gps 50/50 but I use my EVO3D for that).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
This is GPS all over again but worse did ASUS really use different hardware in our Primes? Its starting to look like we have something different about the hardware so this is just another jaw dropping moment "wow asus really" first the backplate and now this ****.... unbelievable
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] captainstabbin:
I haven't had any freezes or reboots since updating. I did see the black line screen issue right after it booted from updating, but haven't seen that since.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nerdninja:
Tried factory reset through the settings menu, tried factory reset using the the volume and power on combo, tried multiple resets in a row (not sure why, but I'm desperate), tried disabling g+, tried with no google account and no apps installed. Still the same.

I'm done. Time to RMA I guess.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pceasar:
Its clearly happening to many people, we dont all have the same configuration so to those that it hasn't happened to, don't knock the ones of us struggling with it. My reboots everytime I do something intensive, then the tablet goes into thinking and I know a reboot is imminent. Asus just need to hop in this thread and request some logs I'd be happy to send and then issue an update ASAP. We are the same people that will make ASUS rich and the same that can make them lose business I don't care about GPS but an unusable tablet is just a paper weight. ICS maybe faster and supposed to be nicer but my baby ran well before the upgrade at least give us a way to downgrade then try a fresh install $500+ bucks is no money to mess around people with.

Edit: I'd still like to give ASUS credit for releasing ICS as quickly as they did, I just think they have to reel in perception by at least acknowledging the ongoing issues and lettting us know they're working on it. Communication calms the mob but some of these threads state their CS say that they have no idea about these issues and have no updates currently planned.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
I'm sorry but how can ASUS screw up this bad again a ****ing monkey would know to test ICS on at least 30 Primes or so before rolling it out and by the numbers we see here this would have been prevented.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fenturi:
Could someone who is going to RMA it anyway try cooling it (frozen veggies?) and see if it changes the crashing?

I'm thinking the GPU is over heating in ICS
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheNostaw:
Right after ICS update my TP started rebooting. I tried factory reset and that didn't help. I am only able to use it for 30-60 seconds before the reboot. After the factory reset I was able to go the the initial setup very quickly before the reboot.

But now my WiFi doesn't work. All I get is "obtaining IP address" and it says my signal is poor when I'm right next to it. When before it would be excellent.

When I first called ASUS support, the rep tried to tell me that ICS has been released, but that ASUS has not released it for the TP. I went back and forth with him and finally he said that it was released and that ASUS has had a mass amount of calls about this issue. He then went on to say that ASUS is aware of it and that they should be releasing an update next week to fix it.

Question: How am I suppose to download an update if I can't connect to WiFi.

Answer: You can't.

Mine HAS to be sent in for RMA now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
I am guessing 30-40% have this problem this is pretty big......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jzen:
How did you all update? I dont think its 40%-50%, i see a lot more people completly happy with ICS and have it running great.

When I updated i just let it sit and do it thing and then install before doing anything on my prime, everything works great.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nerdninja:
Same here and I have the issues.

Usually when you release software to a large group you use a content delivery network, which stages it on many servers to help balance the load. I wonder if there's a corrupted file that was downloaded by some people and not others.

If that's the case, once the zip file is available, I should be able to just re-flash and wipe out the bad firmware. At least that's what I hope.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ogdak:
Did that, but it keeps rebootin.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pyro6128:
updated the same way. The people who have this reboot problem didn't do anything wrong. All seem to be stock and updated through the normal Asus prompt. Something was either wrong with the file/flash (corrupted maybe), our it's a hardware issue. Either way it sucks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CrazyArcher462:
ICS Issues

I'm getting a different but equally agonizing problem with my 4.0.3 updated Prime. Whenever I open a browser, any of them, I've got at least 3 right now, or the settings menu, or mail, or basically any app I get these stupid black bars (sometimes white though) all across the screen and it becomes unresponsive for X amount of time. Terribly annoying and you can't see anything. Most of the time i have to go back to the last page I was viewing the forward and HOPE that the whole page loads before the bars appear to even read one page. I would attach a pic but I'm still to new here...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pceasar:
Yep, I really wish people would stop assuming we all did something wrong, I put mine to update and walked away was with my daughter didnt get back till hours later. I've been through many upgrades and this is my second transformer. People always have bugs in updates I'm usually not on the error prone list, but a first time for everything and it happens.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shawnfr:
I got my grey Prime with keyboard (as they are bundled here in the UK) today.

Installed apps in Honeycomb and everything was fine.

I saw that the ICS update had downloaded so thought it was time to give it a go, but it was a big mistake... flashing black bars when the tablet goes idle (I think).

They seem much worse when docked than in tablet mode. For example GlowBall would struggle to start. But as Glowball works, it seems to be a launcher issue, rather than a display driver as such.

I had to vote no, as it hasn't actually locked up or rebooted, just sits on the desktop flashing black bars on and off...

Wish I could go back to Honeycomb!

I forgot to mention, but when it started flashing bars, I did a factory reset and as it was at the wifi step, the flashing black bars appeared, so factory reset isn't the problem on mine, nor is it an installed app.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
Looking more like 20% my HUNCH is that most Primes got a newer Wi-Fi chip/firmware version or something along those lines. Some people claimed their Wi-Fi range was no different then their other Wi-Fi devices some people like me noticed a weaker signal I would be curious to find out if those running ICS flawlessly happen to be the ones with solid wifi range?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
maybe only 5-10%......I just want to know if I need to send this in or will there be a fix.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
If it was working in hc and is not working now in ICS it can be fixed in software.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Still been using Prime continuously and no reboots or freezes. Plus apps that may not work is because they need updating. I heard one or two people return Prime for that reason alone. Cuz they can't play a certain game now. That's downright silly...lmfao
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
While I learn towards agreeing with this my fear is that it will not be a easy fix and they may just tell everyone with the problem to RMA and they will replace the hardware/firmware part that must be different in some of the Primes.

UPDATE: ASUS has contacted me and is sending me a replacement Prime they said they need to see my specific device to investigate. This tells me that they need mine to open it up and see what part/parts might differ from known good Primes.I think they did indeed use slightly different hardware now what hardware that is I have no idea but its clear now that they cannot simply look at the crash/dump logs and figure out a quick software fix for this issue that appears to only be effecting a handful of Primes.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] indiscriminant:
How did they contact you?

I have one that was great before, even working GPS, and now it struggles with reboots and the weird lines. Would love to keep the tablet and running out of day light on my return window with BB.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
Phone but only reason is because I have been emailing back and fourth with someone from ASUS Dev team that PMed me on here he sent me log tool and I have been sending him my crash/dump logs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pablitus:
possible solution

I was getting those freezes and reboots. I disabled the option for vibrate on touch pm the sound menu and stopped the reboot (havent had one in 4 hours. Don't know if it will work for everyone. Check it out and let me know
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chamberc:
No problems on mine since the night it came out. I just loaded it to my wife's last night. No problems then, but I'll have to wait and see how it goes through the day for her.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
I've had two. One was when I tried to watch an Amazon prime movie in the boat browser. Rebooted and watched in the stock browser just fine. The other happened when I was using Tapatalk or something I think which has acted up occasionally when I was using HC. I honestly don't know if these are related to ICS but apps should not cause a reboot so yeah, I have had two. This was over about a 4-5 hour period of constant use.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slugbug2010:
I am really glad this has worked out this way for you. I know how hard you've worked to try and get this sorted out and how hard you worked to even get your Primes(s).

I am also glad Asus is getting units in to research the problem. I really do think that the co. is responsive, just not immediate (within hours) as many would like them to be.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
Have any of you received a PM from who appears to be an Asus employee asking you to flash an image to your Prime that may fix the rebooting? His previous posts seem to support that he is who he seems but I am very, very hesitant to flash something I received from a dropbox link in a PM.

The name of the file is: US_epad-user-9.4.2.9-20120113-1307-UpdateLauncher.zip.crdownload

It is a 307MB download.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cykotix:
It's fine. You won't be able to even flash it if it's bogus. The Prime's bootloader will verify that it's properly signed by Asus' keys before proceeding. If it's not properly signed, it'll fail with the Android on his back with the red exclamation point. The locked and encrypted bootloader will prevent you from inadvertently loading a malicious zip.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
Bump this up everyone please vote.....I am wondering if anyone thought there didn't lockup later to find out it did but rarely.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
Ummmmmmm yeah this is starting to look pretty bad
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] banderling:
well, mine just crashed with white and black bars while playing Galaxy on Fire 2. The game itself crashed a couple times since ICS update, but never a full on lockup like this. I'm thinking of trying the factory reset. It seems like transitions have been jerky too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SDRaver:
Check this out...

I had major issues with Purple 32gig Prime TF201 from Gamestop

Wifi/BT, weird resets, and lag and flickering,

I said to myself,

I'm gonna return it asap.

I did ICS update and once it installed I said

'let's start over. '

I did a master delete from menu options and it rebooted and deleted everything.

I set up the prime and all issues fixed.

Lost the games that came with it but I don't care.. Everything works
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
Please explain in detail what you mean by master reset and how you did it....... also how much Uptime with no lockups cause sometimes it takes over 24 hours.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
30% ouchie that hurts lots of RMA and returns
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sjaakdg:
vibrate on touch

Disable that option doesn't work for me: 2 restarts in the last half hur
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SDRaver:
Update,

The master reset is the one in the os menu that deletes everything.

It will ask you if you are sure.

Running time 79 hours and no issues

Gps locks with out wifi
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] remics:
I am in the same boat with everyone else complaining on this thread. My Prime reboots every time I use it for anything. It doesn't matter what I do, at some point, 10seconds - 2 minutes, it will lock up and reboot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Snuggl3s:
I am also having random lockups then reboots. About 90% of the time they occur in the browser. Stock or Opera. Tried factory reset and they still happen. GPS doesn't work for me either but I don't care about that. Still love this thing. I just purchased from best buy so just waiting on them to restock so I can exchange

From OptimusPrimes butt
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drherron:
mine locked up and rebooted the moment I voted.... this is getting old really fast
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d.bobo:
Okay mine is also suffering from reboots, I bought my Prime this monday and yesterday it started with rebooting (in 1 hour at least 5 times). So I started with testing serveral methods and did a lot of research on the web.

I was in balanced energy mode when my first reboots came. I stayed in balanced mode beginning with the tests, still it got reboots in 1 to maximum 20 minutes. It doesn't mather in which application I'm in. I got reboots in the camera app, stock browser, office etc.

But then I tried to let it stay in idle and checking if it reboots, a whole night the Prime stayed in standby modus (docked) and not a single reboot happend. So I moved on with the testing.

Now I tried energy-saving mode and now my prime is stable for like 5 hours already. Did some browsing, typed a document, downloaded diceplayer and a cpu monitor. And I tought when the tablet is in energy-saving mode it just uses 1 cpu, but that's not the case it uses (when needed) the full 4 cores but clocks it down to around 500 mhz.

Now I'm testing a movie, it plays a 1,5 gb avi file right now. (from a usb-stick, so my prime is docked right now) I will let my prime play the whole movie (1 hour and 47 minutes long) and if it stayed stable I can say the energy-saving mode is on this moment a fix for my prime.

But it is not a final fix because the preformance are well but not that great as balanced or performance. Because the cpu's are down-clocked to 500 mhz.

I'm running ICS and my Prime serial starts with the letters: C1OKAS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdbaker82:
bump for more votes !!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] FIREMANMIKE:
I didn't wote because it's a yes and no answer. My first TP was horrible; reboot city, all the time, constantly, and TP took on another meaning to me. I was advised by Asus to return the unit to BB. I've since picked up my second TP, did the OTA upgrade to ICS and this things been great. Two days now, in and out of all the apps, etc...watch a few movies and not one reboot yet! It got hot (sitting in bed on my blanket watching a movie) and no problem. So far so good. However should I have additonal problems it'll be back to BB and I'm done with the TP for now. I hope not; I love this thing. It's even got my IT department guys arguing whats better; this or the Maxi opps, I mean I pad.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeUser:
Fortunately, I don't know what are you talking about...!:)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] m0lasses:
Constant reboots after ICS update. RMA'd it. They've had it for almost 3 weeks now and I can't get a reply back from them.
