[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
The Prime is running a fairly stock version of Android and that is all I ever want out of my Android devices. I have used CM in the past (CM7 on my EVO) and while I enjoyed it quite a bit, in a lot of cases there were just <i>too many options</i>.

I know that sounds silly, but honestly a lot of the settings were confusing, either in placement, because settings in one area over-rode settings in another without warning, or because the settings just weren't explained well.

CM9 (or any other ROM) would have to be completely amazing, and that includes all of the Prime's hardware 100% working in order for me to consider going through the bother of unlocking the bootloader on my tablet and flashing a new ROM.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] frabjous:
I will definitely be flashing, just for the prospect of having Ubuntu proper up and running.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chpimentelpr:
Root!!! Unlock!!! Fun!!!

Let brick this baby... lol

helll yeahhh!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xray49er:
I had my prime since the beginning of January so i cant return it to the store. I dont have any dead pixels or light bleed. Gps doesnt really work but i havent tried since i flashed to ics. If something was gonna warrant me to return my prime it probably would of happened already. i am itching to get off work so i can unlock and throw on cwm recovery. and just wait for the roms to start coming in.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drewskee:
Sounds like a plan.;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drewskee:
Who's flashed the latest ROM so far as of yesterday? Hows it working for you?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cfaberlle:
I did and it's working perfectly so far :D

I posted some benchmarks on the ROM Thread, it's pretty fast and the OC is nice and easy.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drewskee:
Yeah..im unlocking the bootloader now...literally about to click ok on the EULA agreement.. have you had any issues at all?? have you tested GPS, WIFI, and battery drain and compared it to stock? I'd like to know, thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blairware:
We will see what we will see when we see it (and not before)

It will eed to be a VERY enticing ROM to make me willing to throw away 10 months of warranty coverage on a device that, let's face it, has has it share of issues. (and then some!)

Frustrating is what it will be for some. Agonizing for others. Then there are those that say screw it, you only live once! What a shame if your bricked your Prime flashing a ROM, only minutes after blowing away your ability to replace or repair it under warranty.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drewskee:
Maannn...im slowly joining the "im considering it" group as I just cant force myself to push the ok button on that EULA agreement for unlocking. ..too much money to just theoretically toss in the trash when i got bills to pay...too many "what if's" honestly Ive had the Prime since early January and ive had no problems with Wifi, bluetooth but GPS is completely non functional..theres some dead pixels in the middle and 3 bright dots on the right side looking like a constellation...I notice them and yeah it did bother that they were there once I saw them but thats not enough a reason to return to ASUS for me personally as everything else works like a miracle..but the what if somthing happens a couple months down the road and im stuck with a dead tablet will make Drew a dull boy. ..thats whats itching my neck and pulling a $500 pay out for another tablet is not going to happen unless its some crazy Tron or Ironman 2 device that has 3d holograms and what have you..i'll give it another couple minutes before i make my final decision..im at work anyways so i'll go ship a PC out and come back hopefully with my final decision..=P

I admire your gumption, and I don't even know what gumption is

You sir, reflect the spirit of the old west in modern times. Sure, you could stay back east, where it safe as houses, and nothing incredible ever happens, but not you. The wild and wonderful world west of the "unlocked" river holds promise.

I hope you don't end up like the skeleton in "Dances with Wolves"; when they come across it,the guy says: "His folks back east keep asking "Why don't he write?"

Good luck, and I hope you find a ROM to call your own.

When CM is stable I may well be tempted, particularly if they have carried over their habit of grouping widgets by application in some way. It currently takes an age to swipe across countless screens to add a YouTube widget. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phoneturf:
I will flash as soon as there is any rom that attempts to tweak the code for wifi, bluetooth, and/or GPS to make them work better. To potentially get just a 10% increase in wifi performance would be worth the risk for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] notown775:
I bought my prime from amazon. and only had it for 2 weeks. 2weeks and its already unlocked and running virtuous .. I think its a waste of money to NOT flash and unlock it. people are bricking their primes cause they didn't nand and tried restoring a file from Asus website. I have minor light bleed. wifi that works and the GPS locks on in doors. but knowing my luck all of that will change in a few :-)

!!senseless sensation!!

Just got done flashing Virtuous ROM V.2 and im having a blast =)..makes me wanna go flash my evo with another ROM too. So far no problems with V1 or 2 so now i just gotta push my apps back and start playing. Oh Happy Day
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pbrauer:
Had a Prime since they became available here in Minnesota and fought through all the BCO serial number issues. Best Buy had some come in yesterday, I got them to give me an exchange, OTAs now worked, but no GPS at all.

Blew right past that without hesitation, Rooted, Unlocked and Flashed to Virtuous. I now have fast GPS fixes indoor, benchmarks with Quadrant are at 3500 range, and Speedtest showing me great WiFi performance with no real drop offs anywhere in my house or out on the deck.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drewskee:
Working GPS is a plus

I havent tried GPS yet...still loading my apps from TB,when you have over 280+ apps and games it can take a while :o . Working GPS sounds great for you though we shall see how it goes once im done with this I will test my GPS as i have had NO luck with that since I first got it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doddsie:
Im still having a few problems with mine so probably wont flash it/unlock it till i see a rom with cornerstone running on it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LfnsR:
Got my Prime last week and rooted the same night. I unlocked and flashed Virtuous Prime V2 this morning. Can't wait for more ROMS to come out for this bad boy! I haven't had any issues plus the BB extended coverage. :)

Sent back their TFP?

Considering sending back their TFP?

Happy/ unhappy with it?

Waiting for an official statement from Asus before you make up your mind?

Like my prime but feeling a little let down and unsure of where to go from here. Wondering what other UK TFP owners have done.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] frabjous:
I don't plan on sending my prime back, though I did consider it when I found out the GPS was non functional. It still irks me a little bit even though I don't think I'd ever care to actually use it - it's not nice to think my device isn't up to par. However side from that I'm extremely pleased with it and overall I'm just too lazy to go through the hassle:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JSale:
An Honest Answer

I am likely going to either get an RMA or try to return under the statement of full refund from asus ( http://asus.co.uk/blog/news/eee-pad-transformer-prime-update/1057/) the problems i am getting are intermittent and starting to annoy me, just to name a few;

Dust under screen,

Light bleed,

Dead pixels,

DOA GPS,

Wobbly hinge on dock,

BT+WiFi = Unusable WiFi

I could go on...

unfortunately i purchased mine from Carphone warehouse in january and as such will find it more difficult getting a refund from them but i will try :)

Other than the above i was thoroughly enjoying my prime ... whilst wearing rose tinted glasses.

I may purchase the TF700T at a later date when it is released or just stay without a tablet forevermore it depends if asus tightens up their QUALITY CONTROL!!

Jack

Got this response back from Asus Support after mentioning my GPS doesn't work. Truly disappointed. Any advice on how to get them to look at it?

Regarding the GPS Asus has released an official statement.

"The ASUS Transformer Prime is made from a metallic unibody design, so the material may affect the performance of the GPS when receiving signals from satellites. Please note that this product is not a professional GPS device, and signal performance can be easily influenced by factors including, but not limited to: weather, buildings, and surrounding environments. Please understand there are limitations when using the GPS function. To avoid inconveniencing users who demand a powerful GPS device, we made the decision to remove it from our specification sheet and marketing communications. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.

Kind regards,

Asus UK Support Team"

I'm keeping mine. It's great. If only Asus had never put a GPS sensor in it then everyone would be happy.

Also, somebody know how to just hide apps in the drawer? I know LauncherPro Plus does it, but I'm using ADW and really don't want to change just because of it.

I'll say it again.

Send your phone to an authorized service/repair center.

Just restore a stock rom will fix it i gues. But i have a backup a backup if needed. From a simlock free phone (Dutch) If you still need it tomorrow tell. I can upload. For no i got to go to werk and sleep after it.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] UtCollector@gmail.com:
Here i have the "bml5: block level representation of /dev/stl5 (efs)" Its from Android V2.3.3 Dutch lang. (EU) Its from a simlock free phone. If you're phone is not simlock free you might brick you're phone restoring this file. But you might be able to just use some files from it.

Links efs here: http://www.mediafire.com/myfiles.php#40r2f7d5q02hf

It would be best to flash a V2.3.3 stock rom before trying this.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
Same like you got it onto your pc?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
THERE IS CURRENTLY

NO

KNOWN WAY OF REPAIRING A CORRUPTED EFS PARTITION OR IMEI ON THE GIO, OTHER THAN SENDING IT TO A SERVICE CENTER. PERIOD.

Sorry if the above was a little harsh, but multiple posters in this thread seem to miss that itty bitty little detail.

Search a little around here, not only for the Gio, but the Ace and the Mini as well.

Re-flashing the baseband (amss image) with Odin won't work.

DD'ing stl5 or bml5 back into place from another phone while in Recovery Mode won't work. It would at best remove the SIM-lock, but we have much safer ways of doing that.

As far as I and everyone else could tell, the IMEI isn't stored in either location.

Now, if someone reading this has: a blank IMEI Gio, a Factory Download Mode USB jig, and a clue; there are two other ideas I'd like to try.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] yadinbilu:
hhhhhhhh ok ok

so,but im think that i have the backip efs folder in my comuter in img archive so how i can restore it??if its wiil be not work i will take it to service center..so how can i do it?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
If you insist. Is it an RFS partition copy or a BML dump?

(Hint: you can read, but not edit, an RFS partition with various programs under both Windows and Linux. Not so with BML.)

(Hint 2: the RFS partition should be about 5MB, if it's closer to 9, then its BML. If it's at around 25MB, the file is corrupt.)

Boot into recovery, mount /sdcard

Using ADB, adjusting for your actual file's name, use either:

dd if=/sdcard/bml5 of=/dev/block/bml5 bs=4096

or

dd if=/sdcard/stl5 of=/dev/block/stl5 bs=4096

Make sure to use the proper one, for I would expect a hard brick if you flash the wrong one.

Here are the other

untested

ideas I was mentioning...

Idea 1: Get QXDM, maybe it will let you write an IMEI when the value is zero. It doesn't when the IMEI is there and valid. (There's another thread where I mention QXDM that'll give you more info.) I don't remember for sure, but if QXDM works in download or recovery mode, prefer doing it in those than while booted normally. Otherwise switch to airplane mode.

Idea 2:

Using CWM, mount stl5 as rewritable.

Pull the imeitool.txt file.

Open it with a hex editor and replace the zeros there with your IMEI, minus the Luhn check digit.

Push into place.

Unmount stl5. DD a copy of your newly modified stl5 to /sdcard and pull that on your computer.

Rename the stl5 file to efs2.rfs (this is a guess, you may need to try other possibilities) and tar it.

Reboot the phone in

Factory

Download mode.

Flash the EFS package with Odin.

The problem is no one knows for sure if the imeitool.txt file is used to program the IMEI in the first place, nor how to trigger its use. It might need the stock recovery combined with a factory reset.

I can't really help you beyond that.

Good luck,

Darkshado
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] UtCollector@gmail.com:
Sorry for not reacting sometime. Did you manage to fix the problem? Maybe you could try some service code to try and find out more about the problem. Its still just a mobil sow there should be a way to fix it.

Hi

To be able to bypass the process of a flash to v13_13, open the backdoor, flash to 14_14 etc. can anyone point me to a rooted 14_14 rom?

In particular "K1_A301_14_14_120109_US"

Thanks
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Dueces99:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13407-alpha-ideapad-k1-cwm-stock-rooted-rom-120109-build/

Although still in the alpha stage, I switched from using timmydean's rom to this one specifically so I could successfully run the 14_14 rom and keep my root. Nothing against timmydean and his work, this just worked easier and faster. Also this rom add cwm which is the only rom out currently that does this for the k1, from what I've seen.

Just reemeber that this is still just an alpha, so be sure to read the post fully. Hope this helps!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] khanning88:
Thanks for posting the link Dueces99. I compiled the CWM and ROM that Deuces99 linked to. I just wanted to add that there is nothing alpha about the ROM, just CWM. The ROM is stock and rooted and has no bugs (Other than the ones the stock ROM has).

The reason I left the Alpha status is because backup/restore don't work in CWM, and there is currently no key combination to boot into recovery. You must boot to recovery using the included app/widget
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Dueces99:
Right, there is no physical key combo. associated to booting into Recovery, the rom atleast provides the means to boot into recovery (widget/app) which atleast leaves the option. I personally, have not had any issues at all with this rom, and love the fact that all the bloatware misc. 3rd party apps and some Lenovo apps were removed, which made the rom seem that much more responsive upon first boot IMO.

Glad to hear that was of some help to you, kinda surprised there hasnt been anyother spinoff roms from this, regardless of its released stage. Just how cut and dry it is with flashing the 2nd newest update with root, then simply flashing the 14_14 update through CWM and keeping root. That was my biggest hurdle following timmydean's guide (and still is) was keeping root once taking the update from Lenovo.

Just my 0.02
[Thinkpad Tablet General] prfstrkr:
so all i need is to flash alpha 3 and latest update 120109 in order to be on a rooted 14_14 build? can someone confirm?:)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] khanning88:
Correct. After that you will be up to date and rooted.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Dueces99:
Right, confirming with khanning88 flashing alpha 3 would be the 13_13 update. After flashing that, reboot into recovery via the Reboot Recovery app/widget included in the ROM, follow the instructions from there provided by the rootzwiki post and you'll be good to go with the latest 14_14 update. By far, the most cut-n-dry rooted ROM out there as far as I know. IMHO kinda deceiving that the ROM is listed as an Alpha (for CWM understandably) only because it's been extremely stable for me with nada one FC.

Wierd how an alpha build ROM is more stable than the OS that the K1 comes with...
