[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] agentdr8:
You would need to unlock your bootloader to use Virtuous ROM, not just root your Prime. Those are two separate things.

I highly suggest reading more threads in General and Development before proceeding so you can make the most informed decision.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
Since you don't seem to know the difference between unlocking a bootloader and rooting.. my suggestion would be to try neither until you have a stronger grasp of what is involved and what each process actually does.

I would doubly recommend you don't unlock your bootloader since that will void your warranty and could really leave you screwed if you somehow manage to brick your Prime. :)

As a side note, no custom ROM is likely to provide a significant improvement on GPS. The problem with GPS really isn't a software issue, so no software will ever be able to make it really work.

As for the screen flickering.. how often does this happen and how often to you restart your Prime? It happens to me once in a while, usually after my Prime has been on for a couple of days. Restarting makes it go away for another couple of days. Installing a custom ROM might fix the flickering, but there is a good chance that a hard reset will also fix the flickering. In any case you will have to decide for yourself if turning to custom ROMs to fix the screen flickering issue is worth losing your warranty over.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] androholic:
I'm well aware of unlocking the boot loader, as that goes without saying. I somewhat generalized the process with my statement. I'm also aware GPS is a hardware issue. I'm wondering if Virtuous will fix any of the common minor software issues. If I'm running Virtuous on my Sensation, do you not realize I've unlocked at least one boot loader in the past? Not to mention on my many other devices.

Okay, now can anyone who can share more than the absolute most obvious information, let me know if it is worth spending the time doing, or has not a great deal of progress been made at this point?

If I seem a little short, its because so many seem to assume everyone lacks common knowledge and it can be a bit frustrating. I am a business owner, and this is my hobby, but I have very little time to spend with it as of late. If not any significant process has been made, I assume it best to hold off.

I am more than able to comprehend and follow directions, and when I asked which method, I was more or less referring to which guide was the most commonly used, or the shortest process. Thank you again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
The current Virtuous Rom, or any of the other roms out, do not claim to fix 'any minor software issue'

Virtuous will certainly make your prime seem faster though.

Over half of my enjoyment with the Prime is the fact that I am customizing it and installing custom roms and tweaking. If you don't get any enjoyment out of that, and you need to ask here to make this decision, then perhaps it is not for you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
I was wondering if you've already done a factory reset after you upgraded to ICS. I've read some good news when doing this. Gonna go this route when I'm finally ready for ICS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I agree. research more first. once you unlock bootloader there is no turning back. warranty voided and no OTA updates. make sure you ready to accept those facts if you decide to unlock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] androholic:
I've rooted every device I've ever owned, except this is my first tablet. I do have it insured though, and it covers lost or stolen, so worst case scenario I would claim it and pay the $99 deductible. I haven't bricked a device to date, knock on wood. I just don't usually bother with it until there is significant progress made. Honestly, I usually root for advantages in this order.

1) AOSP or something very pure: But, Asus UI is already very vanilla and clean.

2)Tethering Break: T-Mobile would like to charge me for tethering individually for all four of my lines, but obviously I can't tether anything off of the prime, but rather tether to it.

3)Performance/Battery Tweaks: The prime is already amazingly fast, but faster can always be achieved.

So, in conclusion the only benefit I would gain from rooting/unlocking would be performance tweaks. I gather that no rom has provided any major increases increases in performance thus far, or resolved any of the minor persisting bugs. So I believe my question has been answered.

I would LOVE to see CM9 on the Prime! When its released I'll be willing to take the day off of work to play with that!

Thanked everyone!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] oO_SwooP_Oo:
CM9 nightly builds for TF201 are already available to play with :)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
People assume you lack common knowledge because of the way your phrased your question, which seemed to confuse to very different procedures that a lot of people confuse when they don't quite know what they are doing :)

As for rooting, there are plenty of methods in the Dev forum, and there are plenty of threads in there discussing which one is best and why.

As for unlocking the bootloader, there are no really great reasons for doing so right now.

None of the custom ROMs really offer anything great at this point over the basically stock version of ICS already on the Prime. I am sure in a few months there will be lots of great enhancements added into custom ROMs, but now it is mostly stuff you can add for yourself with the right apps.

But hey, if you have insurance on your tablet and want to mess around go for it, its your device! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rand4ll:
I don't personally have a reason to want one of the custom ROMs yer even though they look great. I am holding off unlocking as a friend of mine may need me as a test for some toying with the unlocker but I will be doing so eventually. I am not really worried about the warranty personally as I am intelligent enough to pay attention to what I am doing and not brick. If I have any hardware issues I have squaretrade. I did root it though as soon as it was available and remain rooted now.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
Rooting...why?

Well one reason would be to see if you can gps going.... I rooted via Vipermod primetime. Then I went here to pick up some files http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1533776&highlight=gps+tweak I extracted them and added the 2 in the system /etc folder to my system etc folder under gps (because they weren't there doh!!) and I can say I seen a marked improvement.... from no sats locked to up to 8... and that is INSIDE by a north window...... so you tell me.... why wouldn't I root just for that alone......btw... the root is reversible I didn't unlock the bootloader....

The other thing I did was make a backup with Titanium.... never know when a guy wants to rip out some stuff..... next will be checking out ez overclock ... tomorrow maybe
[Kindle Fire General] Lance Uppercut:
My nephew managed to get into TWRP and somehow wiped the entire thing clean. I purposely keep a recovery .zip in there but even that's gone. When the Kindle is turned on it displays the Fire triangle but then the screen goes black and stays like that. I can boot into TWRP but can't use the mount option or adb because my computer, and the three others I've tried, refuses to recognize the Kindle. It shows up in Device Manager as Unknown and I can't manually install the driver. I've tried every combination of booting it with the computer off or on, uninstalling the Unknown driver, everything. Can you kind folks please save my butt? Thanks in advance for your responses.
[Kindle Fire General] JohninLex:
wiped in TWRP and Windows only displays device as Unkown

Lance Uppercut,

Have you tried starting adb services and going back through the FireFireFire Utility, this has fixed a lot of boot errors that I had in the pass?

Let me know if you need help with starting adb services.

Thanks,

JohninLex
[Kindle Fire General] Lance Uppercut:
Thanks for your reply :)

Can you please elaborate on this a bit more? Maybe I'm not understanding correctly but I thought starting adb services wouldn't do anything in this instance since it wouldn't recognize the Kindle as being there at all? For instance, when I run Kindle Fire Utility it shows adb devices as being offline. If I could get the Kindle to show up as anything other than Unknown I'm certain I could just update the driver to an android device and have KFU take it over from there.
[Kindle Fire General] JohninLex:

Lance Uppercut,

Did you root your Kindle "adb devices"

and the following commands?

adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp

adb install Burritoroot3.apk

or did you download a file from the market to get root?

if you did it the above way with adb commands from a terminal would be great.

Either way lets set the driver, download the Kindle Fire Utility extract it to your desktop. or take note where you extracted it. Then go to your device manager and right click on the Kindle (unknown device) look for update driver and browse the the Kindle Fire Utility folder double click on the drivers folder and let it update the right driver you need for your OS (XP,Vista, 7 x86 or 64). Once it finds the right driver Open up a command prompt by going to start run and typing cmd and hitting enter. Once that is done download the KindleADB files and place them in the C:\ (drag and drop should be fine here :) ) go back to your command prompt and do the following commands:

** urname** C:\ " cd KindleADB " then hit enter

and then do " adb devices " it may or may not come back with your device sn but as long as it has started is what we are looking for.

Once that is done go back to your desktop leaving everything open and look through the Kindle Fire Utility until you find a file named Run.bat double click and hit run this will reinstall twrp and allow it to be remount-able. If you need a stock Kindle rom with update 6.2.2 I have a back up I can share with you.

I hope this helps but if it does not let me know and we can go back over the the driver section.

Thanks,

JohninLex
[Kindle Fire General] Lance Uppercut:
I've attempted installing the driver manually many times like you stated and on different PCs all containing KFU and the modified .ini file in the .android folder and the message I get when I attempt to manually update the driver is "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems." When I first got the message I attempted to do it in an x86 system and the driver would still not install. My inability to get ANY computer to read the kindle as anything other than Unknown is the main issue. Even if I could make it read as the default "kindle" with the exclamation point it would be enough for me to fix it. But if I can't get a driver to load I'm hopeless to fix it in any way.
[Kindle Fire General] ammubarak:
Use Android composite driver on your PC to get adb working. Once the adb is working, there multiple ways to boot or install a new ROM. I recommend to start doing the following commands:

Fastboot mode.

Try these ADB commands:

fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

or

adb shell idme bootmode 4000

adb shell reboot

Ng you have an Android phone, connect to you PC first to see if adb is working using composite ad driver for Windows operating system
[Kindle Fire General] Lance Uppercut:
I can't use android composite driver. Every time I attempt to install the driver manually I get the error listed above. No matter what I do I can't get the Kindle to be anything other than Unknown :(
[Kindle Fire General] sokeymcpot:
i had a problem where i could only get the fire symbol screen computer would not recognize. I had to start the kindle fire utility plug my kindle into the computer then turn it off, then have kfu install latest twrp again when it says waiting for device turn device on and it will reinstall that and get you back to the recovery. so maybe you can do the same with obtain stock update. not really sure to the kindle. my computer would recognize kindle fire for a few seconds and thats how i could install new twrp

I had this exact same problem and ended up with a bricked kindle for a few weeks. I tried everything on the forum...uninstalling/reinstalling drivers/sdk/etc. At the end of it all I had the drivers installed properly (which was a real pain in the keyster) but my computer still would not recognize my device.

I found 2 posts that finally helped me:

1) in the .android file for adb_usb.ini, you need to add in 0x006 in another line. Also dont forget to add the 3-line code @ [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64]

Here is a link. This link has just about everything else you need to do to solve this issue.

http://www.kindle-fireforum.com/forum/amazon-kindle-fire-development/1086-adb-issues-solved-how.html

2) manually mount the drive and flash update.zip. For some reason my kindle got locked in fastboot, then when i switched it to normal it would get stuck on the loading animation. If this happens you probably need to flash and start over.

Here is that process.

[Kindle Fire General] namdnas:
Have you added the second vendor and the second set of USB command lines in your google/extras folder? If not add those turn off the kindle then turn it back on do "fastboot devices" then put the update.zip in your platform-tools folder then push the update to your kindle to be flashed by twrp. The command for that would be "advt push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip" you can have the kindle already in twrp by this point. Also when all is over you will have to reroot and reinstall fff and twrp. If you need help send me a message.

I completely screwed up but do not know where. :mad::mad::mad:

Had problems rooting but eventually made it with 'Automatic-Root-Enabler--U8510--v1.1' which worked first time. :D:D

Then used rom manager to install HuaweiU8510.zip which did not work so tried U8500_Huaweid.zip.

cache and Delvic cleared, rebooted and red huawei came on screen and there it stayed.

Removed battery, boot into recovery went into firmware update(image in dload but cant remember name) starts step 1 unpacking get yellow triangle with ! and says update failed. also tried again with zip files on sd card but back to red Huawei :mad:

Any one got any ideas please as I can get to the sd card but not to the internal memory and not adb/fastboot. So no way of getting a new recovery image into dload

Once i had a similar problem...

It was caused by the filesystem

Samsung uses the rfs system but custom roms prefer ext4 which is better...

When your filesystem isn't compatible with your custom rom than you will have a startup problem so try to figure out if you have to change the filesystem.

[Milestone XT720 General] TechfanGR:
March-2012.

By now, we all know that its more than likely to make sdxc micro cards work on a big variety (confirmed) of smartphones.

Practically, formatting micro sdxc to fat32 does the trick;with smartphones like galaxy s2, htc sensation, tablets etc recognizing the card (and capacity as well).

The thing i still cant figure out is :

~

Should our files stored inside the fat32 micro sdxc be in danger of corruption or anything similar to loosing it?

Nobody said what was his/her experience after a month of use or if he/she experienced any difficulties mentioned above...

~

Will motorola milestone xt720 read the formatted to fat32 micro sdxc 64gb normally?

I hope someone will be aware of this not by guessing, but after trying it or having a link with the proper answer.

In conclusion, the new micro sdxc (or exfat) isnt worth our patience for more available gb per card... Unless there is some short of firmware to get started (and maybe a start for xda developers to update roms).

[Milestone XT720 General] AllGamer:
i've been using my 64 GB card for well over 4 month now, and there's no sign of trouble, and i hope it stays that way

I'm using it with Link2SD

however, I've not yet tried to use it on the XT720 as a 32GB seemed more than plenty enough, due the limited amount of RAM there are not many heavy games you can run off this phone, so usage for Apps / Games are very limited

if you use it for storage, there wouldn't be any problem as SD card corruption only affects areas of the card that are frequently R/W as with any form of App2SD integration like Link2SD
[Milestone XT720 General] TechfanGR:
Thank you for your answer, i appreciate the time you took to post that kind of comment.

BTW if you ever try it to motorola milestone xt720, let me know if it can be used 100% for micro sdxc 64gb (fat32).
