[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tedr108:
Bad news, dude...makes me a little nervous. Was it an old nandroid backup, perhaps from an older version of TWRP? Or, should we consider TWRP backups as questionable at this point? I'm sure the TWRP devs tested the restore feature thoroughly.

I've personally never restored a nandroid ... just prefer to take the time to reinstall everything. I just started checking md5s last week, since I had my first ever bad download, so perhaps that will protect me. I definitely would have considered that unnecessary on a nand backup restore -- not any longer!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Esenthel:
I must say I'm very happy with latest firmware updates.

In the start I was very irritated with the constant crashes/freezes after updating to ICS on my Prime. Clicking the Recent Apps button caused some triangle glitches.

But now all problems are gone. Still can't launch some apps, like GTA 3, even though on the market it shows it should be supported by my tablet.

Also I have a feeling the battery life got bit worse than it was at the start.

And one last note I have discovered, not sure if it's Prime or ICS related, but I noticed that C++ "utime" function for setting file modification time on SD card files always fails (no permission), while the same code works on HTC Evo 3D Gingerbread.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yod-b:
what do you mean latest update? .21 or you are lucky enough to have a spin with a beta software?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Esenthel:
Sorry for not specifying, I meant having the:

Kernel version : 2.6.39.4-000003

Build Number : WW_epad-9.4.2.21-20120323

Lately I have access to only poor internet connection, so I can't check for any newer updates if there are any, because my Transformer does not catch Wi-Fi signal here, only my laptop does. Fortunately just few days more and hello back fast internet!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] boynamedstacy:
Yeah, good lesson for me on MD5 I guess. Either way you look at it, now that I think about it, it may have been a backup from an older version of TWRP. With a GNex and a Prime that I flash constantly I can hardly remember the details anymore. I guess this will make me pay much more attention in the future.... Damn, I am bummed :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yod-b:
well, this was a bit of a disappointment (i don't mean to hurt you!), but at least .24 comes shortly!!!

i wonder if it's 4.0.4...?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sunfirex:
I am currently in the same boat you are, as of last night.

I'm not sure exactly what went wrong with mine, to be honest.

I rooted my device, unlocked the bootloader, installed CWM, created a backup, installed the new ROM, and when I tried to boot up I am stuck at the Eee pad screen and it says "The Device is UnLocked". Tried pushing recovery manually thru fastboot and it pushed alright. Just can't boot into it, like you've said.

I get 0x4 errors on my tablet trying to push system or anything else. I would have to assume that the partition is corrupted or something of the like. I guess we have to wait till Asus/NVidia release the NVFlash tool as a last hope.

I wish I knew what actually caused the issue, as I was running .21 and installed AOKP which is based off .21 (milestone 5).

It definitely is a sad day, but in short I wish I knew exactly what caused this so it can be avoided in the future. Installed AOKP on my SGS1 (Captivate) with no issues at all.

Best of luck to anyone with this problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
Gary's latest update for any who missed it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] justPorter:
i hope they have a fix for the constant wait/close errors in the browser.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] copc:
I hope Gary gets well first, then he can give us news on fixes and updates! :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sunfirex:
Do you think I should start praying for the NVFlash tool as well, right about now? lol

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cenonmin:
Hope you get better Gary; also just want to know if ASUS are planning on releasing 4.0.4 on the Prime because this could get rid of the micro-lags, same as what it did to my SGS ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
All the best for you Gary :) Get well!

Great news on the update. Its finally coming! I hope games will run without issues now and the browser lag gets fixed (although that really wasnt an issue for me with ICS+ browser).

I'll get married this saturday, my Tablet gets updated and next week Diablo III gets released. Great times :D PEWPEW! :cool:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] towers1209:
I believe this is meant for TF101.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
you got it made then. Congratz! ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pbelcomp:
What makes you think that?

This update seems to match with his 05-03-12 update:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] towers1209:
The .24 firmware update is specifically for TF101. See the 5/3/2012 Update in Official ASUS Thread - ICS Update on TF101 (20-Mar-2012).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
it doesnt matter what number version it is. tf-201 does have an update coming. probably by friday or this weekend.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clenz:
Get well soon Gary!

We need you back in action as our advocate.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] towers1209:
I stand corrected then. The update heads up, then, is for both TF101 and TF201. (Hmmm... but I am aware only of the beta testing for TF101 users. Or, am I wrong again. :D).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
lol....201 is beta testing also.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] boynamedstacy:
Damn, that sucks man. I also wish I knew why this happened. I was only doing something that I have done so many times before! At least we know it isn't directly related to either recoveries. Both have caused the issue now.

Were in this together man, as ****ty as it is.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yod-b:
My dear demandarin, do you know which android version is it? :-D

And get better Gary!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vittogn:
.....and are we getting 3.x kernel?

Good luck to Gary!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
There will be a new kernel as Gary stated, but there are no infos yet which version nr.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tmeader:
Just an FYI that Gary confirmed via email that the new update will be released "early next week".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darkbahamut:
Let hope it actually fixes some of the damn problems. The two Primes in my household barely work at all any more.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Chicaned_UK:
I hope this gets 'accidentally' leaked.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] airf0rce:
If they managed to (completely) fix those annoying ANR issues, I'll finally be totally happy with my Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darkbahamut:
Gary is still yet to address what they are doing for those of us that have these issues that do not have multiple browsers installed. Mine Prime is still awful even on a factory reset with 1 browser installed. Does that mean we're simply stuffed to have shoddy broken hardware that's unfixable?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kasper31:
What does one need to be a power user?

A. Transformer Prime

B. Transformer Prime that is working

C. Transformer Prime and be an Asus fan boy

Since most in this forum have a Transformer Prime I don't think that is it. A working Transformer Prime could be but I really am finding it hard to believe that there are any that are working correctly that are not C4 and still those are reported to have better WiFi and GPS but better does not mean working as it should or as advertised.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thenrz:
Gary isn't the engineer here, stop shooting the messenger...

Its up to ASUS to make steps in the right direction here. A fully working apx recovery solution is sorely needed. Discount warranty work for unlocked users...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
Funny posts...who cares who is testing, as long as the bugs are discovered and fixed! "Asus fanboys, Asus fanboys' whine whine whine! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
yeah, chill out. lol. There will be no leaks of this test build. In doing so, it risks us losing any future Asus support here and no more beta testing. We would be on our own, like most other devices. These builds released for testing aren't meant to be leaked. Which is why only a small number of Power users can test initially. Then will come a larger beta test group. then official release.

the Arnold S. of Primes. Mr. Olympia Power user. I want to pump, you up....lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ylexot:
Also, it's not like waiting a couple days is going to kill us.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darkbahamut:
We are pretty much on our own.

I'm waiting for bugs that shipped in the two primes here in December to be fixed, and it's May now.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kasper31:
So did you pay more then the rest of use for the Transformer Prime? Cause Asus is treating you better then the rest of us that spent our money on the Transformer Prime. You and the power users get first dibs on the fixes for the problems most of us are having with our Primes. So going from what you said I should just sit back and wait while you and the Power Users get software fixes for the problems we are having then if the software does not create more problems it gets released to the rest of us. This is why some of us are getting pissed with Asus we paid the same price for the Prime as you did yet we don't get the perks you are receiving. I feel that since the release of the Transformer Prime we have all been beta testers and only the Power Users are getting to do the actual beta testing while we have to sit and wait. From this I have learned not to buy from Asus if they are launching a new device since they have shown poor QC with the Transformer Prime. So I will wait till 2013 to buy another Prime by then Asus should have worked out all the bugs. Till then I guess I should just quite using my Prime till the fix is released.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
lease work 100% correctly.

Your argument makes no sense..so your saying that since we all paid for Primes, we all should be allowed to test the beta?? Really guy...which other company does that again, please remind me. I get so sick of these ignorant, "We are beta testers" comments. What updates does Apple or any other company release that work 100% correctly? All updates will have fix prior issues but may cause others, this happens. Asus ad other companies use a small group of people to test out updates before releasing to the general public..I dont see whats so hard to understand about that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Don't think he is upset over Asus "beta" testing their latest f/w update to power users (it makes sense). However, he is WORRIED or has strong DISTASTE if those "powerusers" are "asus fanboys". Judging from Gary Key's general statement, I am simply going to.. wait.. and hope that it is actually being beta tested by "powerusers".

However, if "powerusers" are "asus fanboys"... it certainly is a reason for a concern as the person above has pointed out.. because..

1. Asus fanboys are BIAS. Those who are BIAS aren't exactly the right candidate. When you are BIAS, you overlook certain aspect...

For example.. GPS Dongle. While it does work... the person who leaked the device described it as "minimal, flush, and fits with Prime overall style" or something to that degree. However, the general public thinks it is UGLY, BIG, sticks out.. and kinda useless because it is so big.

So yea, if you are bias... some can worry that the person who is bias will overlook certain fact to favor Asus.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
people take stuff too seriously and need to chill out. The dramatics are far from old now. my post was more of a joke, the Mr. Olympia part. Damn, some people get pissy up here for nothing. Mr. Cannandy is right. Certain people get their panties up in a bunch over nothing.

Gary chooses who he wants and who he sees fit to test whatever firmware he has. no one can question who he chooses and why. plus same argument of someones so called bias could be said for the flip side. people would worry of someone who always negative towards Asus of testing this out. as likely their outcome would be negative. I'm sure they definitely wouldn't want these people testing out their product. I'm not biased. I tell it like it is based on my experience with my prime. I've been recognized others have issues as I am part of the group that has gaming issues. Freeze/Crash/screen flicker during game, etc.. I won't let that detract from my overall experience though.

So certain people just need to give it a rest. The dramatics won't get any sympathy. Overreaction is childish, especially if they don't know all the details involved. The update will come. be patient. Kill the dramatics and conspiracy theories. It is all kind of funny though but Assumptions will get you no where.

this is my only reply on this matter as its stupid what some people are saying.. Get over it as you don't know what's going on or WHO IS ACTUALLY GOING TO TEST THIS OUT. there will be a power user test phase, then larger beta group test phase, then it'll be released to the public. No one but Gary determines who will test in each phase. people complaining and crying over nothing. Some are too nosey also..lol. DAMN! SMH. like little kids or something. quit the dumb jealousy act, as its not even that serious. this isn't the first time Gary had multiple users test out beta firmware.

People in General need to learn to Contribute more vs. just complain about nothing or other members. It never gets them anywhere.

another quick note: The way people conduct themselves up here may play a factor also. Maturity is key. The way you post can easily determine this, at least from the way you act up here on the forum. I know if I was Gary, I wouldn't want people who constantly slam the company I work for or always act childish and overreact to things negatively to test out my firmware. Think about it. If you're so negative towards any and everything, your judgement is obviously clouded. the fanboy claims are old, childish, and gets you nowhere or any real supporters.

Learn how to act and express concerns in a mature way for once, here in the forums.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] boynamedstacy:
UPDATE: I am no longer stuck in fastboot thanks to Jermaine and Swiftks! I own them a great deal of gratitude for helping me out of that mess. They really know what is going on if anyone ever gets into a bind. Thanks dudes!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
1. This is a forum. Perhaps your way of expressing using words is being misinterpreted by many, but this is a forum... we aren't mind readers. You are constantly... "nah, it was a joke.. ", "nah, i didn't mean it", "no i meant it".. blah blah blah.

Again, we aren't mind readers. Also, due to the way YOU state or express in this forum, more often than not... in my personal opinion (I can't speak for others), you come off as person who comes here to boast & try to stamp your authority. While you do try to help out, you also come off as boasting...multiple times (GPS DONGLE for example.. your 15 min fame & you milked every bit of it). So, perhaps.. that is something you should look into.. and perhaps curve it.

2. I hope you follow the same rule.

Btw, I really don't care about beta testing. I'm too lazy to "beta" test for others & I have real work. Why bother beta testing for others... again, I'm lazy. So.. it isn't "JEALOUSY". I'm sure most are like me.. TOO LAZY to beta test. However, I'm sure people want "beta" test to be done by the right people. Heck, I'll take and trust a person who hates the device (if they own & purchased the device of course) more over someone who is a "fanboy". At least the person who hates the device will thoroughly test the device to find "flaws" over bias person who will easily sign off as "good".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
yeah, I saw both of their posts. I saw Jermaine mention swifk method could help you out. they helped each other out and both of their efforts got you out of the bind. I was wondering when I would see you pop back up here saying you're good again.

Welcome back, I'm sure you missed your prime & that AOKP goodness ;)

---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

"come here to boast & try to stamp your authority" come on man, gimme a break. that really has me laughing. Not that serious buddy. Boast about what(don't give examples..lol), stamp what authority(don't give your opinion of examples..lol). It amazes me how you come to these conclusions as its not that serious to warrant silly claims. Let it ride buddy. Maybe kick back a cold one or puff on something to chill out. I can only smile reading what you said.

I could post the sky is blue and you would try to pick it apart or say its biased somehow..lmfao. plus its not up to either of us to determine who will and will not do testing. So no sense on either of us saying our opinion of who we think should or should not test when it will have no merit on the final decision. Gary makes that call and is very capable of determining who he would like to test the stuff out.

I won't give this no further attention and to anyone who tries to piggyback on the silliness. I suggest you do the same. this discussion is pointless and contributes nothing. no sense in dragging out a pointless battle of opinions on something so silly. Goodnight Shinnz ;) stop seeming so hostile. its not a good look. I'd rather debate with you over tegra3 and other chips or upcoming tablets than this b.s. come on now, I know you not that petty. You better than that. We got past this before & we can do it again, SMILE!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MRCANNADY:
demademan, besides small "group" of the usual complainers aka haters, the vast majority here all appreciate your inside info and find most of your post useful. What we all want a working Prime, and if Gary decides to chose a few members here on XDA, that work out for us. The same ones who complain are just envious because they want to be the source of info..most of the adults on this site know this, that's why most dont join in on the stupid arguments. What I find most funny is that you are NOT the only source that Gary uses here, but for some reason we have one or two members here who seem to really hate that you are. It reminds me of my ex girlfriend, she said she didnt care about me anymore, yet she always found something to complain about me with. Maybe a few here have a man-crush on you ;)

By the way folks, rumor has it that the new os and kernel fixes the the game crashing as well as fixes some browser issues..we will see if this is indeed the case by next week. Thanks to ALL the beta testers :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kasper31:
Once again I paid for this buggy Transformer Prime with my hard earned money. So for you to post on here that I got my panties in a bunch is just rude. As pointed out the GPS got good reviews from you a power user yet the rest of us see it as an ok fix but having many flaws. What flaws you ask try not being able to use the docking station or not able to charge the prime while the GPS dongle is in use. I believe that it would not be that hard to add a charging port to the GPS dongle if it was mention before Asus started to produce them for everyone now it is to late. As it was pointed out it would do Asus good to chose some of the people that do not like their ATP for they will be looking for what ever problem they can find unlike the previous beta testers who said its good to go.

What has me pissed is that I paid for a device that is not living up to the advertising that made me buy it. I agree there will be problems with any new item but the way Asus has gone about it is problematic. The ATP was working fine GPS and WiFi till it updated to ICS once ICS was on it , It has gone to hell one update fixes the problem while creating two more problems. As it has be stated and documented the problems are not the same for the same device Transformer Prime so that means either Asus swapped parts during production or the parts used has a wide margin of error. From what I have seen from mine I put the blame on the software for the Honey Comb OS was working fine no problems till Ice Cream Sandwich was installed. New device plus new OS means problems.

So from that I assume that Asus tested the Prime with HC and not ICS as the amount of problems being seen makes it hard to believe that Asus tested the Transformer Prime with ICS installed.

So forgive me for *****ing about being sold a product that is not as advertised . I have faith that Asus will get the prime working , I just don't have the patience to wait.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Lol, seen demandarin's modified build.prop thread? (OG credit to seanzscreems). Apparently just some build.prop additions are curing peoples' gaming woes :D

Here's to a new kernel too though! Lol, I'm always up for more kernels ;)

Oh? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1633747

I'm not actually reading the rest of your post, sorry, I tried. Too much venting, I got that out months ago. Feel free though, XDA is a great place isn't it?

Just realize that what you're experiencing is nothing new for this company. Maybe their products and launches aren't generally quite this bad, but CS hasn't changed a bit and you'll be hard-pressed to find such a terrible and negligent company that also constantly rolls out software updates and tries to fix problems (or appear to at least).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kasper31:
:confused::D

Ok now that you are done. I don't give a damn about being first to release news I just want what I paid for. What is so hard to understand about that?

As for your other post name one Manufacture that has ever released a product as faulty as this one besides Microsoft with Windows Vista. As for Apple like it has been pointed out if you have a defective apple product you can just walk into the Apple store and they will fix or replace it right there unlike Asus where you have to ship it off and wait to get it back.

So show me your facts that back your statements.

Update hesitations!

I have a fully functional Prime, no problems what so ever, after a downgrade to .15 that is. Was just wondering if you have to update this OTA's cronologically. In other words do i have to update to .21 to get the next update?

I really don't want to bust my baby up with the proverbial ***** slap that the .21 is !!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kasper31:
Yes the OTA's are done chronologically so you would receive the next update up from .15

So just stay on .15 till the new update is released then go through the update process till no updates are found.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
Just a little reminder guys, this thread is not about problems and issues, it's about product updates from Gary, not more or less.

So please stay on topic and discuss the issues in the other threads, we really have enough of them.
