lost

Are you saying if I update it to 3.2.1 from 3.2, I would find it rootable? How do you update? Using OTA update provided by Sony?

Using OTA, I can only update to 4.0.3.
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
Check Stifilz's thread (link is in my signature) for links to update files. Most Sony server 3.2.1 links for various regions no longer work, but the member-provided links for the US region still work.
[Sony Tablet S] retomanic:
Still a bit lost

So if I got it right,

I should firstly flash to 3.2.1,

Then root it,

Then Condi update it to 4.0.3,

Then re-root?
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
Almost correct. Not re-root; instead, pre-root.

First, update (flash) to 3.2.1r2 and root it using Condi's ALLinONE v4.0 tool (not v4.1). From Main Menu, select 1 Root device. Then use Condi's ALLinONE v4.0 tool again to pre-root and install (flash) 4.0.3r1a or 4.0.3r5. From Main Menu, select 3 * Custom ROM and Flashing [SUBMENU], then from next menu, select 1 Create decrypted update.zip [+optional make custom]. The last link in my signature will take you to a post describing this method.

Another option is to first update to 4.0.3r1a or 4.0.3r5 then root using the method described in WonderEkin's post. Use the second link in my signature to view his post. I have not used WonderEkin's method (I did not need to, my tablets were already rooted when he posted), but several people have used his method with success.
[Sony Tablet S] <robin>:
no,no,no

all 4.0.3 is root-able now!

so if your want 4.0.3:

1,ota to 4.0.3(r1a or r5a,by your regain)

2,root it!in this thread

[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
You have a r5a version? To the best of my knowledge, there is no r5a version, only a r5 version.
[Sony Tablet S] retomanic:
Not working

Right. I've tried to update to 3.2.1r2 using the followings:-

"signed-nbx03_001-ota-0035.001" & "signed-nbx03_001-ota-0042.001",

But the result in Recovery Mode was:-

E:Prohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku

Installation aborted.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Should I jump to 4.0.3?
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Erm you are Chinese tablet??? You should try to flash China updates not USA ones. Look on my thread for China updates. I think there is a Chinese one 3.2.1R2 there, but you can flash 4.0.3. You can root either way.

Everything on my 300 works excellent except web browsing. Does anyone else have this issue? It's getting to the point to where I want to sell it!

Web pages seem to load slower than on my phone. Has anyone else noticed this?

Is it a problem with the Nvidia chipset? Or is it something Asus can fix with a software update?

I am hoping I don't have a lemon.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opethfan89:
I have been having this same issue, actually. I was just talking to the co-worker who sold me this tablet over the Prime and was expressing my concern with the really slow web browsing. Disclaimer, though, that I'm using Google Chrome to browse, not the stock browser. I was encouraged to try Opera and other browsers before condemning this device to slow browsing, so perhaps that would help us both?

I'm also in the process of rooting mine so -hopefully- the custom ROM's I install will have some performance tweaks.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TF300:
Browsing seemed slow in both stock and Firefox. Tried Chrome and it seamed slow too.

On Boat browser now and it is really snappy. About as fast as my desktop. I really like the ability to import bookmarks from HTML files. Have Firefox synced to my desktop but like Boat better.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OrenR:

I'm pretty sure that they just don't use the whole 100% tegra3 can give yet.

From my experience the custom + open source based ROMs usually perform better than stock.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tempie007:
this is probably due to slow IO performance ( internal storage)

look at the prime forums , prime has the same problem.

cfq io scheduler makes it better (kernel mod), browser2ram fixes this because it does not cache on disk but in ram..

asus is looking into this but most people believe that asus uses cheap/slow memory chips/controllers....

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nschneider7:
I was reading about that. From what I have heard it works really well. I also heard through some rumors that ASUS will be addressing this in their next update. Although it is just rumors and who knows how long until the next update.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2stepsteve:
What I find to be a problem is the freezing and hiccups which occur on large webpages. Frequently I'll see the 'This program has stopped responding' message, forcing me to click on the wait button. I really hope a firmware fix will address this - it appears on all browsers for me. My Galaxy Note is far faster than my TF300 at loading sites. It's very frustrating.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaf:
Yep the IO performance sucks, hopefully we will get custom kernels soon, or asus will fix this who knows.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nschneider7:
Yep just rooted and downloaded the apk. It's almost necessary. Chrome runs so much better right off the bat. I will say though that you do lose all your previous browser settings but it's 100% worth it.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tempie007:
Yea i hope asus finds a way fix this , some improvements can be made with a different io scheduler such as cfq however this will not improve raw speed, which is still terrible.

The sqlite benchmark shows us extreme bad performance especially on the 1000 inserts, 70 seconds where other devices are done in less than 1 second. I find it hard to believe that this is caused by memory chips itself , we are talking about hundred times worse?"
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zdidge:
Guys. Thanks for the help. I have only tried Boat browser so far and I have noticed it is a bit faster than all the other browsers I've tried so far. Not perfect by any means, but better.

I will try those other methods later this week.

What are the odds Asus fixes this issue?

How come there aren't more complaints about this in the TF300 forum? Or does this not affect every tablet?

I too am interested in performing a wipe.

I get lag constants throughout the system.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] headart:
Just figured it out. You can follow these steps to wipe your device. However, you will loose all data on your device main storage.

- turn your tablet off

- hold the down the down volume button and press the power button.

- you should see some text across the top of your screen press the down volume button again.

- two big buttons should appear in the middle of your screen, one of which is system wipe.

- use the down volume button to select wipe and press the up volume button to select and again to confirm.

Your device should now be reformatting / wiping all data

I noticed that you don't need to reinstall updates so the lagging might have been caused by previous versions leaving information around?

Is it worth performing the wipe? Ive done a few factory resets before and they didnt have too much of an effect. I copy and paste everything onto a micro sd card and then paste the files back into the tablet after a factory reset. Do you recommend i do a wipe? Does it have significant changes?

You need to go into System / Backup and Reset /

Then under the heading Personal Data / Factory Data Reset.

I did that 3 times ( because I read somewhere that's what needed to be done :confused: )

Then I went to the Asus website, downloaded the latest update and followed these instructions.

http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF300T/E7481_TF300T_UPDATE_SOP_V1.pdf

The whole tablet runs much better, browsing is like it should be.. prior to doing all this I was going to return it to the shop it was that unusable.

After dong this a lot of the crap files and folders were no longer on the tablet so maybe that had something to do with the dramatic improvement ?

build.prop

I am at stock us.30 and i download from development section the modified build.prop and replace the original in my device with a file explorer.

You must be rooted to have access and replace the file and u have to change the permissions to file as given to the site.

From then i have a nice web browsing with the stock browser. Pages load faster than before and the touching experience at pages is better. Of course there is always hopes for better performance. ;)

and recommendations of the best rom for my Samsung T595 vibrant.
[Vibrant General] ToledoG28:
Hello there. if you have a vibrant it is a t959. I dont use froyo anymore since we have very good choices on gingerbread ann ICS. Iam on Skankwich CM9 Kang...very nice. You can find good choices if you search. Im my opinion a custom rom is better. You need to find out by yourself wich one you like and works better according to your needs. How? ...flashing!!
[Vibrant General] kaiser_bun:
I wouldn't run ICS if you don't feel like tinkering with your ROM. The GPS is inconsistent, and there will be little bugs every now and again as the developers continue to refine the base builds that will require you to keep an eye on the ROM you flashed for updates.

None of the bugs I found in ICS are real show stoppers depending on what you expect out of your phone (besides that encryption unsuccessful problem which is a big issue), but there were enough that I only flash ICS every month or so just to see how things are. I always come back to Froyo just for the sake of everything working.

Moped Ryder's EZ_Ryder/Slim_Ryder are good Froyo builds, but I, personally, always fall back to either Bionix-V 1.3.1 or Fishman's Bionix-V Mod with the DragonModz or Overstock kernel. That combo with the Holo launcher fits my needs just right.
[Vibrant General] Xenoism:
Hey, if you're going for stability, battery life, speed, and performance...then a custom rom from the development is certainly better than stock froyo in my opinion. And..luckily enough, we have some great developers in the froyo department at the moment. I've tried a lot of Fish's builds and they are all awesome...but I had some of the best battery life and such on his updated Deranged rom

Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1565768

I was getting like 2 days worth of life while I was on that, and it was buttery smooth lol

But really, anything by Fish or Moped is definitely worth looking into my friend.
[Vibrant General] Moped_Ryder:
Froyo / GB is all I use for now. Dont forget the issues that come along with ICS and CM7 / 9.

1. A lot don't have working 911 (e911?) or inconsistant 911 with each build.

2. ICS from my knowledge still has the Encryption Unsuccessful bug.

3. For me at least gps works best on Froyo.

4. Possible mute/unmute bug (rare)

Those two are the deal breakers for me. Im a father of 3 so I have to have a working phone with 911 at all times.

btw - thanks for good word guys :)

If you find any old Froyo / GB rom and would like me (or Fishman) to update it to current status just ask.

If you want to try out Stock Froyo Id suggest the KB5 stock ROM I posted:
