I received my TF201 from Staples on February 2nd. Yesterday went to us it; and I have a nice yellow line running down the center of the device. I call Staples asked for a replacement – LOL. NO can’t do that for you – it’s been over 14 days. They did give me a nonworking number at ASUS. Last night I get a RMA going to send it back. Let’s see what happens – its rooted – unlocked and has CMR. Back to using my Xoom

Here is the 2nd Email:

Hi XXXXX, thank you for contacting Staples.

In reviewing your order I've found that it is now outside of the 14 day return/exchange period. Unfortunately we're not able to make any exceptions to this.

For technical support please contact the manufacture, Asus, as they will provide you with repair or replacement. I've provided their number for you again below.

1.888.678.3688

You can also chat with them online via their own website. I've provided you with that link below.

http://service.asus.com/ProductCategory.aspx?pid=13

Thank you for this opportunity to respond to your inquiry. I hope you will continue to look to Staples with confidence and satisfaction for all of your office supply needs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Um. Yeah. Unlocked and CWM? I'm interested, be sure to update, but pretty sure you'll be rejected.

Seriously, after the way Asus has handled this launch I expect them laugh at you and ship it back unfixed.

I would be extremely pleased to be wrong.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leppie:
Go for RMA, someone has to be first to test their unlock warranty conditions. Perhaps they will be honest if it is a hardware fault (which seems likely, as I had bad screen too).

UP-DATE From Staples

Got a call from Staples this morning. They will replace TF201 with a new one. Staples will pickup the bad at office tomorrow and overnight a new one. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
Interesting. Did you email them again or did they contact you out of the blue?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tryest:
send a 2nd email - last night. asking what was corp address and phone number. they called me twice; missed the first call.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:

I guess BestBuy started and everyone's following suit on extending return periods. Guess they've gotten too many flaming calls.

Does anyone know if the charger pack u charge to act as a charger for your phone (when not near electricity)is compatible with the note? I've seen them but i didn't know if they are compatible with the note since it has such a large battery. Also does anyone have a link to one?

Yup. It's just shy of three full charges for my Atrix, which has a ~1900mAh battery. Should be two charges for a Note, give or take a little bit.

I was going to get that one, but it was just too huge. I can slip the Anker 5600 I bought into a jacket or pants pocket with the cable and it's just fine. No problems with portability. Charge time is equal to what it'd be from an AC charger in my experience so far, but I only got mine a few days ago.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ipaqman01:
Most portable USB battery chargers do not support the signals that allow the Note to go to high current charge mode. Pins 2 and 3 of the USB connection need to be shorted with a low resistance. The Note senses this and switches on a high charge otherwise, it will stick to a standard USB charge of less than 500ma even if the battery charger can put out 1A.

I bought a Scosche 5000 mah portable battery charger that comes with a special USB adapter designed for the Galaxy Tab. I tested it with my Note. With the adapter, the Note charges in under four hours. Without the adapter, it takes overnight to charge the Note even though the Scosche has a USB port that puts out 2.1A to charge an Ipad.

Staples sells the Scosche battery for $80 but there is a $29 online coupon that is good until 3/5/2012.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eliter1:
Hmm... I have a rechargeable battery from Monoprice that I use with my iPhone 4 but I haven't tried it with my Note yet. It will probably only charge the battery about half way. Monoprice has good cheap rechargeable batteries to charge on the go if anyone is looking for something similar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lJesseCusterl:
After a few more days with the Anker, it charges my Atrix and my Vivid at least as fast as my AC charger. Probably placebo effect, but it honestly feels like it charges it faster.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Why not just carry a couple of extra batteries and get a charging station for them? Seems cumbersome to have to have one of these attached to your device when you need more juice, when swapping out a battery is quick and has an instant full charge...?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
+1^^^

If you're gonna carry something anyway you might as well just have a single, spare battery instead of a power pack plus a cable. The Note has such an easy back to pull off and swap. Bing-bang-boom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brookssw:
As someone who used to do this exact same thing with the captivate, it's definitely convenient to carry, however the interruption while you take off the case, remove the cover, replace the battery/reboot, can get annoying especiallky if you're right in the middle of doing something.

I'm getting ready to take a long plane flight, and I bought some battery packs from monoprice just now, with the intention of using one of them up front while I use the phone, so we'll see how that goes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Note sure if it's just me, but the minute or so that my phone is down to swap the battery and reboot seems much more appealing and convenient than having a battery pack dangling by a cord from my phone for multiple hours while it charges, or keeps it charged.

Not to mention how many spare batteries you could buy for the price of one external battery pack.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] brookssw:
I actually agree partially, however I just found out that monoprice.com sells 2800mah battery packs for like $13 each. I just bought three:

http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10833&cs_id=1083311&p_id=7664&seq=1&format=2

That said, I likely will still buy an extra regular battery that I can just carry in my pocket. The main reason I'm going with the external batteries is because I'm getting ready to go on a trip with 15 month old twins to europe, and I can use these external packs to power up both my phone, and my touchpad (Which I need for playing childrens shows)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maicod:
I've been unsuccesfully searching the forum for a zipfile containing the stock recovery for the TF101/nvflash/install script. Can someone help me find or get it ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
You can download the stock firmware from the ASUS website- unzip it, unzip it again, then use the blobunpack tools on the juicy blob it contains. The blob.SOS will be the stock recovery which can be flashed directly with nvflash. And by directly, I mean after a little editing of the flash.cfg file to point the SOS partition to your recently unblob'ed SOS file.

So after you flash all that, be advised that the stock recovery has the stock kernel that matches the ROM. This might be incompatible with your bootloader and have side effects such as bootloops, memory loss, nausea, constipation, and bootloops.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maicod:
Thanks ! about your warning: say I've got an installed 8.6.5.21 and rooted it and installed CWM and then I do what you said and unblob the 8.6.5.21 firmware zip, won't I then have the correct bootloader ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
I would most likely say yes, but it all depends on how you got your 8.6.5.21 rom. If you rooted it using a pure root method like brk's or moshi's method, from a stock 8.6.5.21, then it's the stock bootloader for 8.6.5.21. If you used nvflash to erase and flash, then the bootloader will probably be whatever nvflash used- usually bootloader.bin that is in the zip with it. If you flashed a rooted 8.6.5.21 zip, it might have flashed the EBT as well, but this isn't always the case.

To make it more complex, there are two kernels on your TF- one in the LNX partition (boot.img) and one in the SOS (recovery).

The bootloops aren't well understood, so matching them might not make a difference. If you have access to nvflash, it's not that big a deal since you can simply reflash. If you have a later model, be careful since there aren't any second chances.

So, how did you get to the 8.6.5.21 rom?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
Ohh, you can check you bootloader version by turning off your tf and then booting into recovery (power and volume down). The bootloader version will be in the white text at the top of the screen.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maicod:
Fortunately I can use nvflash since my serial starts with B50.

I used the 8.6.5.13 zip that contains nvflash and download.bat first and used APX and ran the download.bat. Then I upgraded to 8.6.6.19 and rooted with Razorclaw. Then I updated to 8.6.5.21

Does that make sense to you to determine what bootloader I got ? Another problem that I got is that I have windows PCs here only and I don't know how I can compile the blobtools on a windows pc.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maicod:
8.6.6.19-20111101

is that helpful ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
That's great. I suppose you could try the stock recovery with the 8.6.5.21 kernel. The worse that will happen is that you will have to reflash another recovery. Plus, your 8.6.5.21 rom seems to be doing fine.

I have no idea how to compile with windows, but lucky for you there are pre-compiled versions of the tools. I haven't used them for windows, but I suppose they would have some instructions. You'll probably have to use them from the command line or maybe powershell?

https://github.com/AndroidRoot/BlobTools/downloads

the nvflash ccommands will be something like this:

You probably don't have to change the flash.cfg file since you aren't using the --create command. Also, bootloader.bin is probably fine as is since it won't write this either. In the second nvflash command, the 5 indicates that you want to write the SOS partition. This corresponds to the id # in the flash.cfg file.

nvflash.exe --bct transformer.bct --setbct --configfile flash.cfg --bl bootloader.bin --odmdata 0x300d8011 --sbk 0x1682CCD8 0x8A1A43EA 0xA532EEB6 0xECFE1D98 --sync

nvflash.exe --resume --download 5 /path/to/your/blob.SOS

nvflash.exe --resume --go

good luck!

Hello gee one !

i have nearly the same problem and I hope you can help me...but my englisch is poor, so please be patient.

I had to go back from revolverrom to StockWWE-rom (because of warranty). I ( hope) had unroot my devive with brk´s files .

I am not shure the way i rooted it in the pas,t but i think it was with the brk also.

i have Clockwork Recovery 3.2.0.1-roach2010-tf101-r11 and bootloader8.6.5.13 2011.09.25- hope this information is helpfull.

Witch steps had i to do to have all stock?

can i take brktool rootkit7.1 and the option restore backup / restore preverious backup-boot recovery+system ?

then i use /select the downloaded stockrom wwe from asus webside .?

Or am i wrong?

Kind regards

gandalf

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
I have an opinion about unrooting for warranty purposes- either live with it or know how to unroot before you root. If your rooting method had said that it was not possible to unroot so your warranty would be irrevocably void, would you still have rooted your tf?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1234556789:
yes , i prove it- it is still rooted.

But i have another (maybe for the same reason) problem: ican´t wipe data -factory reset with clockwork mod.

the message: error removing data/system /packages.

-And i think thats also the reason for the freeze+ bootloops if i flash a custom-rom.

Kind regards

by the way- i trie to find out the rootng method-

nvflash usage

Hi,

Thanks gee one for the nice tip (not tried yet).

I'm in a similar situation. Is there some documentation on nvflash (command line arguments and configuration file)?

Mikael
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
There isn't a lot of documentation. I think you basically have to take a few things apart to see what is going on. Other devices use it too, so broaden your search to include the xoom, the galaxy tab, notion ink?, or anything else that uses the tegra 2. Once you see a few commands, you see what it does.

There is a paragraph at the end of this:

http://androidroot.mobi/2011/06/13/nvflash-on-asus-transformer/

I think nvidia has or had some flash tools on their developer website and you can check out some of the other forums for gamers and overclockers that might use nvflash to flash their gpus.

Also, there is a secret document hidden in the tool itself that I extracted by typing "nvflash --help"

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McKael:
Thanks for your answer, much appreciated.

I did some research but finding specific stuff isn't easy at all :)

Thanks, I had seen the page but I missed this paragraph. :)

The help says the --setbct command shouldn't be used along with --download, is that the reason why you used 3 steps (3 commands)?

Mikael
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
No, that's more of a suggestion, as far as I can tell. It's more like read shouldn't be used with create. Setbct won't do much without create.

Info is pretty spare, I suggest backing up your data and then get flash happy. Get your hands dirty and after a few bootloops, you'll figure it out.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McKael:
Ok, I'll give it a try!

BTW, on a B60 TF101 Transformer is it relatively safe to play with nvflash? (In other words, should I still be able to reflash everything with nvflash even if I break everything up?)
