Yes, nandroid from recovery.

Remember to root your phone once it gets back from the warranty, and remember to flash the same recovery as you have had before the giveaway. Just in case.

And - do not give your minisd card with the phone to warranty.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gigi2k4:
Hi remmyhi,

thank you very much. Actually I have on my phone the ROM Manager 5.0.0.6 installed. It shows me the ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0 working. But if I boot into the recovery system for making a backup it shows me the version 2.5.0.7.

I am a little bit confused about this. Should there be also the 5.0.2.0 version if I want to backup/restore?

Best regards

gigi
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muellersmattes:
Rom Manager won'rt recognize its own recovery, better to screw it and go through recovery manually. To be sure, you could flash the newer CWM recovery or ext4 via fastboot (it's really easy, i'd say even easier than rom manager), then use the backup feature and make sure everything is backed up (i had a broken CWM recovery that would not backup my sd-ext).

I still wonder that you installed a Rom without backing up your stock system.

Oh, and it is advisable to restore to stock before sending the phone away.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gigi2k4:
Hello muellersmattes,

thank you very much. I think, I have enough informations now. Thanks guys for your advice.

Prime out of stock in Canada "for good" ? Updt: Now available in some stores

Not meaning to spread rumors or anything but felt like I'd share what I was told this morning by various big store employees.

My Prime is defective in many ways (including dead HDMI and wonky WIfi) so I had the choice to either get a replacement unit or get a refund. Since Asus said they were out of stock themselves back a few weeks ago I decided to simply ask a refund and purchase another PRime locally... that should have been simple enough.

Unfortunately, none of the large stores (Bestbuy, Futureshop and Staples) have Primes in stock, either online or instore. All out. Futureshop and Staples both confirmed they never had a single unit instore besides returned defective units. Best Buy didn't know if they ever did have a few but confirmed that he had no ETA on future allocation.

In other words, 3 months post launch, the 3 major canadian retailers don't have Primes and don't have any ETA. Moreover, the staff I talked to at Futureshop indicated that he doubted they'd ever get any more stock because of the numerous returns they had. In fact someone returned one at that very location for the same reason I am exchanging/refunding mine (dead HDMI and.. defective Wifi!).

Obviously the staff in those store often misinform people due to lack of knowledge but I did find it surprising that all 3 were on the same page.

Have you guys experienced anything similar? I'm now asking for a replacement unit since ASus does seem to have some instock.. after all, I don't want another tablet, I want a working Prime..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dannb:
I had a heck of a time finding one in Winnipeg. Luckily the Best Buy here got like 5 in stock that morning. It has been fine (haven't tried the HDMI port yet) and so I haven't had any issues with it. Looking now none of the Future Shops here have any and you can't even check at Best Buy anymore. The Staples that I have been to looking for accessories have never had any actual Primes in stock ever. Looks like they may have given up on it. =(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -lukin-:
The OP has a good point. I looked at Canada Computers, TigerDirect, BreastBuy, Future Shop, NCIX and Staples. It appears there are very limited quantities in Canada and especially southern Ontario. We're talking about 24 or less. Some places had nothing at all and others had less than 10. I agree, what's up with that? There is no proof that they're gone "for good" other than speculation though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bimmerboii:
Ncix has the 64gb $599 version in stock. Also checking staples online store says available for next business day delivery
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wifesabitch:
It sucks for people that don't have one. I didn't have much of a problem finding the tablet but dock was a real pain.

I'm lucky I guess. I have a perfect Prime, can't find one flaw and a nice English-only dock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lp_stealth:
Are you talking about canada or Canada? Ncix has in stock, futureshop says in stock in store and 64gb online. I personally got 2 in store from futureshop in january. Memory express has 64gb in stock limited quantities. Are you from the future maybe? Or the past? Can i have your autograph?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
Where is this BreastBuy, I would like to browse their selection? :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] polbit:
Looking at the US right it's not much better. Can't find it anywhere, and none of my local Best Buy stores ever had any in stock.

Either Asus is getting ready to release a fixed version, or more likely, Prime will fade into history with 700.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] astralmind:
Major win for Breastbuy :)

Besides that, I am talking about the CURRENT situation, not that you found one in January, December or June 2016, I mean right now.

As for Staples if you click on any link you will get an OOS notice altough it does still say "Shipping next day".. Staples is just that great yeah..

FS does say "Available in store but when I browse through the 60 closest stores (which is like 3 provinces around) none have any instock so yeah, that is equal to 0 for me. BB is the exact same.

NCIX doesn't have the 32gb in either color and does have extremely low stock of the 64gb.

It's not available at Tigerdirect either. So.. what's left in terms of larger retailers?

Think about any popular product launch and find one where the product wasn't readily available off the shelf 3 months post launch? Scarce allocation is either because there is too much demand or simply not enough offered. I doubt the demand is that insanely high at this point considering it's very much a "geek" device and not a mass hysteria popular product a la fruit company and most geek happly got theirs (I did).

So all I was saying is that I was told by 3 major outlets that they didn't expect any stock for a rather popular product that has been out for 3 months... I think it's odd that's all.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Zephyrot:
I just got my Prime today, was really hard to find.

It's sold out on all Media Markts in Germany, Conrad didnt have any (they sold the lasts ones yesterday, I saw them)

And today I found mine on Saturn, not many left there either, and they said they did not know when where they coming back to stock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
You had me at breastbuy....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
I got my grey 32gb from ncix this week. They have been getting stock but its gone just like that and the back order list grows again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lp_stealth:
Give your head a shake. I don't care what you think I was simply stating I bought 2 in store, yes in store as in i walked into a store, a brick and morter store with walls and such on 2 separate occasions and bought a prime with real money from a real cash register with a real person and then walked out of real doors. TWICE! So don't be spreading false information.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jeetS:
Play nice kids….

Ya im in the same boat. Been looking locally and everyones out of stock…kinda weird.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 729927852:
I had no luck finding any Primes in stores.

Last month I had my hands on at least 4 Primes and they all were defective, either in the camera lens or the screen - 2 from Future Shop and 2 from Staples.

I really need to get a Prime.. my keyboard dock is sitting in its box

*hopefully Asus is going to start distributing fixed Primes :P
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] keroma:
I want to buy a bilingual keyboard.....where can i find it....so sad....why so hard to find....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lp_stealth:
They seem to be everywhere i cant find the English one.

Check:

Staples

Visions

Best buy

Futureshop

Canada computers

Ncix
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Automator4:
I've been trying to get my hands on a 32gb model for two weeks and I'm getting similar results. I'm in BC. I noticed that future shop and best buy have 64gb models online for order. The only in store unit I have ever seen was a best buy display model.

I spoke with a future shop employee who said that they have never had any units in store since release and they don't expect any units anytime soon.

The keyboard dock is also quite hard to find sold out in most locations.

This is definitely odd. Can't say I can remember the last time you couldn't find a reasonably popular product in stores 3 months after launch.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scrufy:
Try nowinstock.net

I was having a hard time finding one. Nowinstock tracked it and took me 1 day .

Had ita week now.. ics update the first day and only possibleissue I've had is sound isnt veryloud watchingmovies
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lp_stealth:
Im not sure why they are lying I got both my primes at futureshop and they had them on at least 3 different times.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] keroma:
Thank you so much!

I just checked all of them... unfortunately, they only have stock for the champagne color. My tablet is grey...you think it looks good with champagne keyboard???
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] IUH1991:
I tried to get the prime yesterday. I went to every retailer I could possibly think of and they all said they haven't received primes since mid-february. At Best Buy, they even said they're holding out until the 700 series arrives. Did Asus discontinue the Prime?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dalingrin:
My local Best Buy just got a few in stock yesterday for the first time in a very long time. I think they are just having supply issues for one or more components. As for the 700 series replacing the prime...I'll believe it when I see it. I sure as hell wouldn't take some Best Buy clerk's word for it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] danwic:
It has been really hard finding them here in Denmark aswell. ALL online stores were out of stock, but they are slowly starting to get them on stock now.

http://www.edbpriser.dk/tablet/asus-eee-pad-transformer-prime-tf201-32-gb-id-6406869.aspx?q=asus

All the sites that have them out of stock say either tomorrow or April for in stock again.

It's kinda funny tho, that ALL stores were out of stock, seems like either they were all called back, people very interested in them or they just had very very few in stock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pegachu:
Yeah. All shops were out of stock until this week. It's nice to see that the TFP finally made its way to Denmark. :)

Too bad, that its prized at almost $900 with the dock here. :eek:

They even had one on display at ComputerCity that you could play with. Nice, shiny and with ICS installed. :D It was even more beautiful then I had imagined.

/peter
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slef2003:
Have you thought about Amazon uk? I think their delivery charges to Denmark are reasonable and there is a good support base via amazon eu!1

with dock approx $783.675

And in stock in champagne Gold which is a really nice silver...IMHO much nicer than the grey version

Ps thanks for the killing... brilliant TV
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pegachu:
Well, I can't take credit for The Killing, but I agree. Just brilliant.

I had considered getting one through Amazon.uk, but I'm going to the states in 3 weeks, so better wait and get it there instead. I can only hope they'll have it in stock somewhere. :D

I was just glad, I could go to my local shop and try it out. :)

/peter
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ClevaTreva:
Oops, made a mistake, ignore this. How do you delete a post?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] danwic:
Tho one problem with buying it from there, is no danish keyboard with our letters æ ø å.

Not sure if i would pay $100 more for those letters, but honestly, i consider myself buying it FOR the keyboard FOR typing stuff instead of a heavy laptop, so i think i personally would need them

Anyway enough Offtopic, this is about Canada! :P
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
I got mine 2 weeks ago at Staples.... Canada. And yes they did not have them instock but I ordered it in the store and it arrived 2 days later......needless to say no one else had/has them instock....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 3rdamention:
We have discussed this many times. I live in Indianapolis and you still cannot walk in any large Brick and Mortar store and pick one up. Again, 3 plus months later, they have like zero stock anywhere.

In the past month and a half, the OG Transformer has been advertised in Best Buy's Sales Ad 2 different times. The Prime has never been advertised.

IT is pretty obvious that the Prime is done. The New ASUS Tablets will be available in a month or so, and you will never hear about the Prime again. Heck, that commerical for the new Asus Tablets that show the group of kids out in the car, lost, and the dude pulls out an ASUS Tablet and uses it to find their location was like the final kick to the mid section.

Asus wants to bury this thing. Just wait and see. I have said it before, I will say it again, the PRIME WILL NOT stand along side the new ASUS family of Tablets releasing this Spring and Summer. Asus wants you to think it will be, but that is not the case. If you can buy a Prime on the shelf at major stores like Best Buy in the late Summer, I will eat crow. I bet we never see it on the shelf, or even as a display unit.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zerodameaon:
This says differently. This is in the UK but I doubt they would kill it off in NA and keep it going over the pond.

http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2012/03/12/asus_transformer_availability/

Then again it could all be hype. I had a hard time finding one San Francisco but they are around. Bought mine at a Office Depot the next town over yesterday and today I go into Office Depot which didn't have any yesterday to get the dock and they have 5 in stock, just got them in this morning, or rather Tuesday morning.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
The next batch of grey 32gb primes is in the ontario Ncix warehouse.

It must have been big enough to fill all previous back orders but buy it online before its gone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PolishPoet:
Gotta love all the people that are certain that the Prime is doomed. Well I guess they do have a better chance of being right, than winning the lottery. Even so I'll take my chances with the Prime and have a device that will last asong as anything else on the market.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alhart345:
Not on display in Taiwan

On Sunday I was tootling around the main computer market in Taipei (Guanghua) and did not see one Prime on display. The displays were there, but no Primes. You can still buy from some online sites in Taiwan, but I get the feeling that at shop level they dont want to sell it.

I heard another rumour on XDA somewhere that a new hardware version was coming out around 20 March. Which would line up with why there is not much around, and why retailers prefer not to promote. I will go back on the weekend to sniff around some more, I wanted to buy before taking a holiday next week.

Also as someone peripherally involved in electronics in Taiwan, it seems Chinese New Year is underestimated outside of China for the disruption it causes. The workers go home, 7 days or thereabouts, when they come back they often change jobs. The resulting hiring and training efforts take companies about 4 weeks to get back up to normal production levels. Which this year means somewhere around mid February to get up to high levels of output.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alhart345:
Now in Taiwan

Display stock is back, but i have to say the sales effort is poor. Vendors seem to have no real interest, must make more money selling notebooks...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zydus:
I just picked up a 32gb from Infonec in Toronto on Friday. They still have 2 - 3 in stock in their Markham location.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bongd:
I'm waiting for Futureshop to get them back in stock because a friend works there and can get at least 30% off. Normally gives me around a 50% discount on electronics (he's the manager) and this would be the only way I could pick one up without my wife snipping my nuts off.

Wish they would hurry up already. I've been waiting for months! :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] astralmind:
Well I've been frantically checking online for one and managed to grab one at Futureshop, I believe they had about 15 instock when I ordered.

C2***, download my apps and upgrading the FW.. lets hope for the best. So far I'd say the auto brightness seems to be much more effective than on my previous model and I can't see any light bleed. Somehow colors appear to be a bit better but that could be placebo. Downloading apps is fairly slow but the market never was a great place to benchmark download speed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] htcplussony:
Wow this is the first time I've seen Ncix have all 4 Prime color/storage combinations in stock at the same time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TransformerPrime:
When I got mine in late Jan, found none in stock at any retailers and in the end the Staples store ordered one for me from their online stock and I picked it up at the store the next day.

It is indeed strange though hard to find any in stock for all these time and no ad from any major retailers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kruzzz:
Memory express Calgary has them
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jeetS:
Still none at my local futureshop
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LNJ:
I walked into Canada Computers today in Waterloo and they had at least 5 in the showcase. Plus you can buy it from them online as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kruzzz:
Memory express carry Prime

Staples too

Futureshop's showing that they're in stores now. I'm going to call today after work and see if that's true... if it is, I'll pick one up despite the lack of wifey approval lol

i have a "not for sale P925" its unlocked

its rooted and has stock recvoery installed.

i can install any rom on it but battery wont charge

baseband version is L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00

flashed software version v21a then i go to V10e (stock at&t) an the problem continues.

i try installing different roms but problem remains the same. it will boot up , but as soon it boot into android it will shutdown because its alway on 0% battery. i try charging the battery in external battery charger and also another battery but it wont recognize the battery percentage and shutdown.

if the usb is connected with either computer or charger it will boot but wont UP the percentage of the battery.

does any one have a clue what is wrong with this phone ?

I think it is software problem , old firmware was v08

how can i get it?
[LG Thrill 4G] cougargt:
I would try recalibrating the battery with a program like BatterCalibration. You can get it from the market. If that doesn't work?????

also could try deleting battery stats with cwm mite help to
[LG Thrill 4G] jorgexd46:
thanks

thanks soo much, but i tried the 2 metods and doesn't work :(
[LG Thrill 4G] SithLord2K:
What about a different battery? If you happened to get a defective battery changing it out might help. Have you tried charging it with a USB post on your computer? Maybe it's an issue with the charger, or the cable. Could try replacing those as well.
[LG Thrill 4G] jorgexd46:
i will try to cnage the battery, and inform you what has happened.
[LG Thrill 4G] xstokerx:
Its gotta be a hardware failure of some sort I've never hear of this happening.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DesireFreak:
Hi there,

I just read a lot of threads in this section, but it realy seems as nobody was as stupid as me. :(

Today I decided to root my Prime and it was all simple.

I used vipermod to root, unlock and install cwm.

I made Titanium Backup of all my Apps (nothing important here), and made a backup via cwm.

With cwm I flashed Virtuous Prime and all was fine.

Then I made the big mistakes:

-I restored most of the apps with Titanium Backup.

-I used a code to unlock my prime and I also wanted to test the encryption.

After the reboot that comes after the encryption, I entered the key, and the Prime booted.

As the lockscreen appears I entered my lockscreen code (which is the same as the encryption code) and it was ... wrong!

I don't know exactly how this happend, but maybe it was due to the Titanium Backup that I restored. Maybe I restored a system app which included the code?! I don't know.

So I couldn't enter my device, but I still had cwm, so I thought this wouldn't be a problem.

I thought I could do a factory reset, and all would be ready to go.

I did a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik - nothing helped.

It was a problem, because cwm didn't let me do anything, neither restore my backup (not found, because encrypted) nor flash the ROM again (the same here).

The only thing left I tried, was formating all the things, that I could format, but this sucked me even harder in this desaster. Now my Prime got bootloops and I don't know anything to do.

Any ideas or help is apreciated!

I would thank you so much, if anyone could help me get my Prime back to me!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
have you tried to adb into your device from a PC? there's a thread in developement section called do's n donts of unlocking. I think it tells you in there how to get out of bootloop.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DesireFreak:
Thanks for your answer!

You mean this, right?

Seems as I'm nearly at Brick 2, even if I don't get "unrecoverable bootloader error", but my Device also hangs in this splashscreen with the "Eee Pad" in the middle.

Looks like I'm lost :(

Edit: Needed a bit to get familiar with adb, but I was able to push the rom again on the sdcard.

I fullwiped and installed the rom. First reboot askes me for encryption code, then the rom needs a bit to start.

Problem remaining: The code on the lockscreen is still wrong. I can't enter my device :(

Is there there any possibility (if even a full wipe doesn't help) to get back to my device?

Solved: I just had to wipe via the boot menu (voldown + power button, then wait the 5 secs)

Encrypted partition has gone!
[Droid 2 Global General] pclose:
Is this feasible? I am trying to export the contacts from an old SIM card using the D2G as sort of an "adapter".
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Insert the SIM card, then start the Manage SIM Card app, it comes preinstalled.

«Import SIM Card» will let you import contacts from the card. You don't need to perform band unlock for this to work, although I'm not sure if it's possible to import contacts if your phone is SIM locked.
[Droid 2 Global General] pclose:
Hm. If I've never bothered to deal with the SIM card feature I would assume that my phone is still SIM locked. It is rooted though does that make a difference?
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
The SIM lock can only be removed by entering the unlock code. There is no way to circumvent it.

You might be able to get the contacts from the SIM if you bypass the SIM unlock screen, though.
