[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phr0zenx:
As i can't reply to the proper thread due to the 10 post limit, i'll have to write it here. After lurking the forums regarding the Failed bootloader error 0x04 issue, i'm pretty much condemned to submitting my TF201 Asus Transformer Prime to Asus to deal with it. I've been given the impression it'd cost over 200/300USD just to get the problem fixed due to a number of post here claiming about the requirement of sending the whole motherboard in for replacement.

Let me just debunk that, that is totally not true. True asus technical support branches are given tools to easily flash the whole firmware regardless of the "Hard brick" issue. So when i sent in my TF201 to get it fixed recently, it didn't take them long. Also, because it was still within the warranty period, i did not have to pay anything. However, i was told that it would cost around 25-30 USD for recovery services if it's out of warranty. ;D

So, why am i writing this? After reading the high costs of repairing the device, i was spooked into waiting for some messiah to bring in a solution to the problem. However, after talking to the support over the phone, i found out that i do not need to pay anything if i were to get them to inspect the device. Quotation will then be provided in order to proceed with the repairs. So, i thought to myself, why not? In other words, if you have access to a local asus technical support branch, head down and see what are your options. There's no harm in trying.

Also, a friend found this.

brick repair 200$ 12/1/12

You must have been lucky, or perhaps it is the repair location.

I unlocked my tf201, installed clockworks, and bricked it. Would not get past the initial ASUS screen no matter what you did.

After reading your post, I hoped for the best and sent it into the Grapevine TX. repair center.

They sent me a picture of the web page saying ASUS knew it was unlocked, and offered to replace the main board for 200$.

Had they been able to reload the software for 25, I'd have paid, but 200$ is ridiculous, I'll go but a new Nexus.

Just another data point.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bigbuckin:
Which service center did you go to exactly? I have sent mine in for RMA, and they keep trying to tell me they need to replace the motherboard. I know a decent bit about these things, and im pretty sure they are just getting rid of inventory and making more money (my quote was $180). I keep asking them if reflashing the firmware is a possibility, and they totally dodge the question. If I could contact the service center in Georgia (which is the nearest to me) and verify the 30 dollar charge, I would happily pay that price to fix the tablet!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] UrbanDroid:
Somebody needs to get on this quick. I've heard that this is the way they treat bricked primes in Europe. Just flash a new bootloader; service charge of a few dollars and out the door. Wish someone knew somebody inside Asus tech centers somewhere that could get us that software.

bootloader

My transformer is at the Asus service center right now with hard brick "error unrecoverable bootloader (0x0000000)" I'm waiting for their call. I hope they can fix it. The main problem is that the bootloader is unlocked and of course I don't have any warranty. If they ask more than $100 for a software problem I'll be very disappointed in Asus. I'll write the result later.

(Solved) TF201 Hard Brick

Asus is lying for something that is obviously a software issue and bilking $200 to $300 dollars out of people. I finally found a forum that had one or two steps I hadn't tried and it worked. They wanted me to create a RMA for $300 for something that only takes a download a 32 bit OS and fastboot to fix below is the life line that saved my Prime repost on any sights that don't have this it works.

Using Custom Spark ROM for HTC Trophy and suddenly I can no longer reply or forward an email from any of my 4 email accounts. Has anyone experienced this?

I don't know if it's ROM related problem as the Trophy forum doesn't really get much activity at all so I thought I'd ask here.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Umm... could you at least identify which (of the dozens of options) custom ROM you're using? For that matter, what phone are you using - there are two different devices called the HTC Trophy (Verizon sells a CDMA+GSM one called Spark_W internally)?

A much better place to ask this question, aside from the Trophy forums in general, would be a ROM-specific thread. I assure you, the rest of the world has not spontaneously lost the ability to respond to email on their Windows Phones.

It would also help if you described the problem in any degree of detail. Is there an error message? Are you able to write the mail, but not to send it? Do the Reply/Reply All/Forward buttons not work at all? Can you compose mail and send it normally (not as a response)? Are you still receiving mail (i.e. connected to the Internet and able to sync with the server)? Did you recently connect to a WiFi network that you don't normally use, or get a new ISP (some ISPs block the SMTP ports to force you to use their own email servers. These ISPs suck and should be avoided, but you may not have known that about them)?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jola66:
version 7.10.8107.79 DFT ROM FOR SPAR-W VERIZON VERSION OF THE TROPHY is the ROM I'm using for Verizon Trophy, CDMA.

Doesn't seem to matter if I'm using WiFi or 3g. Started out if no where.

What happens is I click the reply button then I see the pop up with Reply Forward and Reply All. No matter which one I select the pop up window goes back down and I still see the email I wish to reply too. I can receive and even create and send new emails.

I haven't connected to a network I don't normally use.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rvest:
I sent my tf201 in for an RMA at the beginning of the month because the screen had started to separate, and made a horrible creaking sound whenever I picked it up. So it got back to me a week later (good turn-around time)... just to find the touch screen itself not functioning correctly. Worse yet, that creaking sound was not only still there, but now a new even louder sound was coming from the top right hand side, which when pressed caused a light-bleed like effect on the screen near the bezel. So not only was the touch screen not responding to touch, but the screen itself was not even placed on correctly or something worse had occurred. I rma'd it again a couple days later (about a week ago), and now they have my tablet listed as CID (customer induced damage :( ). The service center of course could give me no further information... and I am terrified after spending $680 on the tablet and dock (with taxes), that now I am going to get set back another 200$. Anyone else have a similar story with Asus RMA? I have read a few threads about wifi issues and the like, but to have the tablet returned simply not functioning, and then be told it was your fault, seems a bit outrageous.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HiroMasaki:
Even worse RMA service...

I received mine for a "Christmas" gift during the whole initial release backorder problems...

Keyboard Dock only fully recognized about 25-30% of the time. I get the gift receipt for the Dock from the in-laws, go to Best Buy, Best Buy orders me a replacement that shows up about a week later.

Replacement dock has same issues, so I sign up for a VIP account and go to RMA the tablet (since it's now out of return period) through the website. RMA form captcha doesn't work. Keep trying for a week (no time to call between work/school/prepping house to sell) and still doesn't work. Find out later that the captcha is broken on Chrome/Firefox, but only on Mac. Weird.

Finally get RMA in early March. Send tablet to Asus on March 14th, they sign for it on March 19th. They enter it as "received" on March 26th, 9 days on the dock. After a phone call April 2nd, they send it back on April 17th.

I receive it and the keyboard dock works beautifully! I use the dock to do a full wipe/reset, set up all my accounts, etc. I get off work and go to use it in class as just a tablet? I have a 1" wide stripe of dead digitizer at the bottom of the screen (portrait). I e-mail ASUS immediately (Tuesday April 24th) and it is STILL marked as unread in their ticket system as I type this.

Anyone have any tips for getting this elevated? I'm going to try calling the 24-hour line right now... At this point, I want a new unit in my hands to verify it works before I send them back this one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robproctor:
OS I am sorry to hear about your device, unfortunately I seem to be having a similar issue with mine. It sounds as if there is a faint creaking/popping sound coming specifically from somewhere around the right top(ish) area whenever I handle the device. My fear is that this is a precursor to something worse. I contemplated sending it in to Asus, but after all the horror stories I have read online I am absolutely terrified of letting them handle even such a small and simple issue.

To be absolutely honest, Asus typically manufacturers quality products and the Prime is no exception. However despite their quality products their service seems to be an absolute and utter nightmare. For the amount of money we spend on this product service should be top notch. Sadly enough service is a costly endeavor and repairs don't come cheap. That is no excuse though, and Asus should in all accounts not only fix these problems at their own expense in a quick and timely manner, but they should also release a thoughtful apology for those who have been wronged!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rvest:
I am still waiting for them to get back with me. The CSR told me it was CID, but I never received any email explaining exactly what they believe I did in the hours I had it between RMAs. They have "escalated" the claim two times now, and I did receive a call from someone saying they would email the service center and ask them to hurry up. I was also politely told if I have further issues, I could write a letter to Asus in California. I now think that was not sarcastic but the only way I might ever see a functioning tablet come out of this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HiroMasaki:
rvest: good luck...

They finally got me an RMA number after 8 days and covered shipping. Hopeful for the end result, but not holding my breath on the result, though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slayvus:
Biggest suggestion I can give anyone for an RMA.

DO NOT EMAIL THEM AT ALL ABOUT YOUR PRODUCT. Your support goes much faster and it usually better(In my experience) if you CALL THEM!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rvest:
Almost...

They finally waved the CID.. not sure what exactly they waved.. but I should have the tablet back on Tuesday according to Fedex.

I still plan to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau over this fiasco. Ridiculously poor customer service, poor support, and I will not have another Asus product again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kwazytazz:
+1 thinking about doing the same, I still haven't gotten my 64gb back from those idiots yet...they received it on April 12th...still in repair, called several times, had it escalated several times all they said was "they will send them an email to repair center and see whats going on" "you will have to wait til we hear back from them, if we dont hear back from them then you have to keep on waiting til we all die"...........
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rvest:
That is exactly what they kept telling me. But I finally got a guy who actually cared about the situation and did his best to escalate and make sure that someone saw the case... and bam my tablet is suddenly shipping back to me, "repaired"...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kwazytazz:
How did you manage that? I even got a supervisor to talk to me and thats the best he did for me.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rvest:
I guess it's luck of the draw.. depends on who answers the phone.. most want you off the phone asap because the service company gets paid by the number of calls they take..

If you wanna take the time to play with the voltages, you will get better battery life than using SR. I watched SR and it was running a good 75+mv higher across the board than when I underclocked it. Its been just as stable and smooth manually undervolting.

I was reading about few people showing undervoltages and stuff but I get really lost I dont want to mess up my phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrandT90:
I've used these as a good reference.

The voltages have been stable on my Galaxy Nexus. They are good to reference. In most cases the most I could undervolt from these settings was 25mV. So far, I've had pretty good battery life. I'll definitely vouch for houzuoguo's spreadsheet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nomisunrider:
Anyone have real statistics and battery readings that prove undervolting is even worth the effort?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrandT90:
I'll try to do some identical real world testing with my normal usage with Smart Reflex on then with my undervolt settings. I should be able to report back in a day or two.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrandT90:
The Results

Okay, so here are my results:

ROM: AOKP build 36

Kernel: Franco 166

Governor: Interactive

SmartReflex enabled

CPU: 192MHz to 1036MHz

Battery: Stock 1850mAh

3G on when screen is on with occasional LTE usage. Never used WiFi.

The first 3 attachments are without undervolting.

Attachments 4-6 show my undervolting settings.

The last 3 attachments are with my undervolting settings enabled. FYI, I used the saved values for the last 3 attachments.

If anyone wants anymore information on app usage just let me know. I have a few more screenshots, but didn't feel like uploading a ton of files.

I'm not sure if these results are sound, but I just updated to AOKP build 38 and Franco Milestone 4 kernel. I'll continue to test and see if these results are consistent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eugene1991:
Doesn't look much of a difference with doesn't it? according to CPU Spy and screen on time, as well as looking at 384MHz and 1036MHz CPU.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JonBsbB:
Thanks for the suggestions Houzuoguo. I am running LiquidSmooth-ICS-v1.5mr1 and Franco Kernel Milestone4

I took your settings and raised them all by 25.

I used Set CPU to set them and i also set the CPU to ondemand and dropped the CPU speed to 1036.

Are you using Set CPU to do this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] parthipanramesh:
My Results

Thanks you very much BrandT90!! I tried some of you settings and changed some values. It's incredible. 11 hours!!! :good:

Look at the screenshots

ROM: Paranoid Rom 2.16

Kernel: Franco Milestone 5

Governor: Ondemand

SmartReflex enabled

CPU: 230MHz to 729MHz (but I use the schedule feature in SetCPU for Apps which need more CPU)

Battery: Stock 1850mAh

I set my brightness to automatic and tweaked the settings in cm10.

3G/Wifi: Juice Defender manages them.

Without undervolting I had the same results like BrandT90. (Look at his first 3 screenshots)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TSGM:
I was using some of your settings but noticed that Francos' smart reflex wasn't playing well with the undervolts, especially at 230mhz. For example, that setting was set to 50 mv but when viewed in the Franco configuration screen the voltages were set to much higher.

I've temporarily turned off all 3 of the smart reflex options. Do you know how smart reflex plays with your downvolting configuration?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] grey.ghost:
If I'm not mistaken, in order to take advantage of manual undervolt, the three smart reflex toggles need to be off. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're doing it right now by having them off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrandT90:
I think the manual voltages used to override Smart Reflex, but it doesn't seem like that's the case anymore. I noticed this around R196 of Franco's ICS Kernel. I've since moved on to Paranoid Android and Franco's JB Kernel.

Glad to hear that I could help others with my UV settings.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chickentuna:
If you have a nandroid backup just restore it, if not you're out of luck. You would need to dirty flash the rom that you're currently on, worse is that you would need to do a factory reset and start from scratch. Next time do not set the voltages at boot unless you're 100% sure it's stable or better yet do not set it at boot at all.
