[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crys7y:
A friend of mine got a Samsung Galaxy S Plus and wanted to update its software via Kies.

He told me that the update just stopped at around 3% and it got frozen there for one hour. He then told me that he unplugged the phone and it wouldn't start (obviously). I tried to help him. I entered in his PC using Team Viewer and the first thing I wanted to do was to flash a stock firmware. He also told me he couldn't get in recovery mode. Only download and ramdump modes. I downloaded ODIN (used 3.04 and 1.82), the latest firmwares from the Samsung site and started the proccess (I explained him how to put the phone into download and when to connect it). We did that and started to flash the FW. It would check the MD5 and after that it's saying "Setup connection..." and stays there for 15 mins. After checking some threads i told him to get the SIM and the memory card out of the phone, to switch the USB port, to reinstall the drivers, even to get out the battery. Nothing worked.

After this I tried another method using Odin Multi Downloader. I followed the tutorial in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1648163 and it didn't work. It also got stuck at "Setup connection...". Here's the log if it helps.

you can retry KIES like this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1801138

or use AiresVE.ops , MultiLoader Odin v.4.43 and an official ROM try download from another source, as one person I I tried to help , finally found, that the AriesVE.ops was corrupted and that made it impossible to flash http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28794698&postcount=8

Apparently, your phone does not have a workable rom on it so you need to search for the correct firmware for your unit before you try again

the procedure should be

First remove battery and reinsert

1) "Select OPS" AriesVE.ops

2) Unzip/unrar the ROM you are flashing.

If it's a single .tar.md5 file, check the option "One Package" in Odin and then load the .tar.md5 file using the One Package button at the very bottom. Odin will load it and check the MD5 checksum. and should be over in ten minutes

If your ROM consists of several .smd files,

Select Boot_loader.tar under BOOT

Select Modem under PHONE

Select PDA under PDA

Select CSC under CSC .

Press Start, Flashing should take about 10 minutes

If it fails, than try again with protect ops unchecked

Thank you very much ! I did not think about Kies Recovery but I will try it. I will update my post in several hours.

PS: I'm sorry I didn't do a better search on the forum.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crys7y:
I tried to use Kies to repair the firmware but it didn't seem to work, and most importantly, I couldnt go into Recovery mode (the built-in recovery) as the program said. However I could remain into emergency mode or download mode (neither worked). It uploaded one bar to 100% then it would come to this: (see attach) . And it stood there a solid hour. Then he said that he will send it to Samsung for warranty, even if I wanted to play with it a bit more (trying custom roms). I'm so sorry this problem will remain unsolved.

Thank you very much for your help !

Has anyone been able to get an update on when the TF700T Champagne version will be released in the U.S.?

These are DIRECT links to ALL the Champagne colored TF700T's for sale on the Internet and none of them have one in stock.

I got the store listing from off Asus.com/Where to Buy and then tracked down the actual page selling the Champagne tablets. I made the list about a week ago, and now some of the stores have it flagged as discontinued!

[Asus Transformer TF700] legendary1022:
I'm in the same boat as you. Been searching everyday in hopes of finding one. Amazon keeps giving the 1 to 2 months so I imagine late August to early September. Don't ask me why it is taking the US so long when other countries have it right now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mozzarella72:
I'm in the same boat as you guys. I called asus product support today and they have no idea. They said it should have been released already. The whole thing seems really strange to me. I'm willing to wait til mid august, but I'm wondering if this color is ever coming out!
[Asus Transformer TF700] oo3:
Best Buy just reposted the Champagne version on their site today which means that it will likely be on sale to order at midnight tonight.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchp...st=n&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960&st=tf700

FYI, they did the same thing with the grey version the night before it was listed with "Add to Cart."
[Asus Transformer TF700] mozzarella72:
You just got me really excited. Let's hope!

---------- Post added at 05:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 AM ----------

And I can't post the link, but the amazon listing just changed from "usually ships in 1 to 2 months" to "3 to 5 weeks." It also said this on the gray listing the night before it went on sale.

hmmm
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eddie Hicks:
I had the Champagne Prime. But this time around the color didn't matter since I have it in a case and even if I didn't the front of the tablet is all the same and the front is what you look at anyway.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
Agreed, if it were just a color choice, i would have caved in weeks ago. But i pre-purchased the champagne keyboard and really don't want a mismatch. the best buy and Amazon news is really awesome. Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] apkapkapk:
Here in SG I saw the Champagne Gold... and no Amethyst Gray which is the one I want D: D: D: so now I've gotta wait 2-3 weeks for the colour I want... :crying:
[Asus Transformer TF700] mdemons12:
buyspry.com have them in stock I think.
[Asus Transformer TF700] amd1979:
According to this 3rd party retailer on Amazon, they have 4 of the 64GB Champagne models in stock.

http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-TF700T-C...TF8&qid=1343746155&sr=8-5&keywords=asus+tf700

I would assume that means the 32GB and 64GB Champagne models should be available any day now directly from Amazon.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
Can someone post a picture of the back of their champagne (if someone here actually has one).

I would like to see what a real picture of one looks like, not just a cleaned up promotional picture.

Please? :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
THANKS - This is great news!

They actually have 9 left for $649.72: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008F4NL8G/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=ASH1H6YCFH4EF

I was so close to spending the extra $50... but have to think the existing orders will be filled soon.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eddie Hicks:
Here is a link to a picture of my Prime. I took it for the ebay listing just before I sold it last week. I'm sure it's the same as the Infinity.

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

Amazon has 3 of them right now for 599.99.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mozzarella72:
Amazon had them selling from their website? I don't see that now, it says 3-5 weeks still for me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
Just check - they still have 9 in stock...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008F4NL8G/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00
[Asus Transformer TF700] Eddie Hicks:
It was only 3. They probably went quick. They probably come and go all of the time. When I ordered my 32GB gray they said 3 to 4 weeks before delivery but they shipped it out 5 days later.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mozzarella72:
I see, I don't think the champagnes have been coming and going until today. I placed my order for the 32 champagne back on the 19th. Still no updates, but with this activity today, I'm hoping it ships soon
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
Here you go.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mozzarella72:
where did you get that???
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
I bought it at digitec which is a swiss company. They unfortunately don't deliver into other countries.
[Asus Transformer TF700] guitar1969:
It's not available anywhere for immediate delivery. Plenty of sales links but all backordered/preordered.

So frustrating . . .
[Asus Transformer TF700] mozzarella72:
yep still waiting
[Asus Transformer TF700] mozzarella72:
Ok now the amazon product page says 3 to 6 weeks rather than 3 to 5. I thought I was so close...
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
Just ordered one from Best Buy!!

Says it will be here Weds.

Tax Free Weekend to here in Missouri.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mozzarella72:
just ordered mine as well, I wish I didn't have to pay the tax but I cant risk missing out on limited stock. I canceled my amazon order
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
Tax saved me like 30 bucks. Tax is crazy here.

With all the issues, I ALMOST got the Ipad3, but I stuck to my Android love and will at least try this out. If any defects/issues, I will return it to try another.

I will give this thing a solid chance for 30 days.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
Production delay!

This quote is from page 348 of The ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity Thread thread:

If Asus is delaying production of the Champagne model because of an issue, why are they still delivering the gray?

Will the two colors have different hardware?

I am pretty confused by the whole thing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
I'm getting confused as well. Do I have to worry about mine? Is there probably something wrong with it which I don't know yet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
Sure sounds like something that can't be fixed with a firmware update. I'm trying to get a hold of Asus support but they are closed right now. I'll post back when I know more.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
Yes please I would greatly appreciate that. Big issue then I am canceling and getting the gurple
[Asus Transformer TF700] mozzarella72:
Hmm, maybe that guy didn't know what he was talking about. I just ordered my champagne from bestbuy.com
[Asus Transformer TF700] defty23:
I ordered my Champaign Gold last Saturday and got it on Tuesday in Singapore. Heard that it is very limited stock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] legendary1022:
Did the exact same thing. Got to love tax free weekend and 18-month financing (just trying to build my credit). Sold my Prime last week and this will be here early next week. I can live with that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mozzarella72:
What shipping did you choose, mine says estimated arrival is 8th to 13th
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
Mine says the same. Was thinking of calling to make sure. Anyone want to call I am lazy
[Asus Transformer TF700] mozzarella72:
call to make sure of what?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
That it really is available and will be delivered on the 8th or 13th cause I know there is some confusion on this color in this thread
[Asus Transformer TF700] technobuzz:
Sorry for confusion. I was the one who had called Asus support. I should have been more explicit in writing "what issue". They said they were getting manufacturing issues(Not Hardware, so all can chill :cowboy:)... For some reason the manufacturing of champagne color is less/delayed.. I'm myself waiting for Champagne model, and my patience is reaching limits :eek:

Thanks for showing me this thread dedicated to "Champagne" Infinity...I'll be following it like i've been following the original thread since months..which was atleast 9-10 times a day ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] legendary1022:
I choose expedited shipping since I was saving so much with no-tax I'd might as well spend the $7 or so and get it a few days earlier. Didn't see a difference as I spread it out over 18 payments.

The Champagne color for the prime took a long time to reach the states as well. I assume they have to change some manufacturing processes in order to get the color out perfectly. It won't have any issues the grey doesn't have.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mozzarella72:
take a look at bestbuy.com. The champagne model was made available today
[Asus Transformer TF700] firetech:
Here in Sweden, only the Champagne model is available. It was the same with the Prime (the gray version was never released, and I doubt the gray Infinity will be either). So the issue might simply be shortage of cases. ASUS might be targeting different markets with different colors, at least primarily.
[Asus Transformer TF700] technobuzz:
Hey thanks Pal!! You are life-saver.!!! Though i had to pay extra due to tax and all, but i don't mind since i'll be getting it next week :laugh: :laugh:
[Asus Transformer TF700] mozzarella72:
No problem! I had to cancel my amazon order and pay the tax too, but its worth it if I get it next week
[Asus Transformer TF700] mozzarella72:
my order just shipped!
[Asus Transformer TF700] technobuzz:
which shipping you choose?
[Asus Transformer TF700] mozzarella72:
standard
[Asus Transformer TF700] guitar1969:
Rats - Only the 32gb of the Champaigne is availabe at BestBuy - I need a 64gb version.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
WTF

Mine is still processing
[Asus Transformer TF700] GregFromUtah:
I ordered the 64 GB champagne Infinity from Amazon on July 16.

My delivery estimate is Tuesday August 7, 2012 - Tuesday August 28, 2012.

However, yesterday I contacted Amazon with a question about shipping charges on my order and in the email reply they said "I'll request a refund of $xx.xx to your credit card. However, since your order is currently being prepared for shipment, I don't want to make any changes that may cause a delay."

So I sure hope that comment about my order currently being prepared for shipping is accurate and Amazon will finally begin shipping champagne Infinity tablets.

I also noticed that for the longest time the product page indicated that they would be available within 1 to 2 months, and then for a brief period it said 3 to 6 weeks, but now it is back to 1 to 2 months. So if they got some in, it wasn't enough to meet the demand...

Does anyone else have any info regarding Amazon shipping the champagne Infinity tablets?

*Update: I just called Amazon and the person I spoke to could not see any info regarding my order other than what I could see online myself. So no conformation of it actually being prepared for shipment. I still have my fingers crossed though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mozzarella72:
Yea I thought amazon would start shipping soon but they didn't so I decided to order the 32 from best buy.

Now the only thing I have to decide is whether or not to buy the prime dock, because I have a feeling I won't find the champagne tf700 dock in stock anywhere for a while. And apparently they're the exact same thing?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
From the threads I have read, they are the same.

What time did you order yours? I ordered mine around 7am :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] guitar1969:
They are the same internally, but the finish is a bit different, at least on the gray units. We just got one and are trying to resolve with ASUS right now
[Asus Transformer TF700] GregFromUtah:
Hopefully they are the same exact thing...

Back in November I ordered a champagne Prime tablet and dock, and then cancelled my Prime order but let the dock ship. So I have a brand new champagne Prime dock. I also ordered a champagne Infinity dock with my Infinity figuring that if the Prime dock color matches and it works perfectly I'd just send the Infinity dock back. And if it does not match, I would just sell the Prime dock and keep the Infinity dock. So hopefully I have my bases covered.

Most people have gray Infinity tablets and gray docks and a lot have said there is some color variation between the gray Infinity tablet and the gray Prime dock. And they report the gray dock shipping as Infinity docs are actually labeled the same a Prime dock. It will be interesting to see what we find as the champagne tablets and docks start shipping here in the US. I'll report back on my findings once my Infinity ships to me.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
Tax free weekend here in Alabama too... Thanks, I just placed an ordered with best buy - will be here Tuesday (expedited).
[Asus Transformer TF700] guitar1969:
How do you determine it is Tax Free Weekend with Bestbuy.com, or are you ording at your local store to get he tax free deal. I live in California and trying to figure out if I can get that deal

---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 PM ----------

This is speculation, but I thought I read somewhere that the Champaigne gold on the TF700 is more silver looking than the prime, so it may not be an exact match.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
Has anyone else got their bb order marked as shipped?

Placed mine this morning around 7 and it is still processing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] GregFromUtah:
Good to know. If so, II'll keep the keep the Infinity dock and sell the Prime dock...
[Asus Transformer TF700] mozzarella72:
where did you order the champagne infinity dock from? Is it shipping anywhere?
[Asus Transformer TF700] GregFromUtah:
I ordered it from Amazon with the tablet back on November 16. I opted to have the tablet and dock ship separately if necessary so one does not hold up the other if one is available and the other is not. I'm hoping they ship at the same time, but either way, both are supposed to ship between Aug 7 and Aug 28.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mozzarella72:
ehh i don't know if i should wait longer to see if the infinity dock comes in stock or just get the prime one. I really want the dock. And if they are the same, I'd rather save the 40 bucks anyway
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
My bb order was placed at 5:30PM today and the status says "Order in process of being fulfilled; Usually ships in 0 - 1 days"

It is a state by state thing not a best buy thing. If you your state does a tax free weekend for the kids going back to school, you would know.

Why I Switched:

After 2 weeks, I simply was tired of waiting for Amazon get 64GB Champagne models and setteld on the 32GB from Best Buy (Here). My main reason for the 64GB was in case I ever installed Ubuntu LINUX but with a micro-SD and full-sized SD slots, 32GB will honestly work fine anything i need to do in Android.
[Asus Transformer TF700] legendary1022:
I had the 64GB Prime and never got close to utilizing it to its fullest. It is surprising how much stuff we consume in the cloud nowadays. Plus I kept two 32GB microsd cards (one in the SD card slot) that held anything else that I wanted to consume (movies and TV shows) on it. The storage on the 32GB won't be a problem for most people. Went with the 32 GB on the Infinity
[Asus Transformer TF700] GregFromUtah:
The Champagne dock is currently available on Amazon (via EXCcaliberPC). They have 7 available...

I had canceled my Best-Buy order and ordered the champagne model bundle directly from excaliberpc as they had tabet+dock combo "In Stock" for $619(no tax + free shipping). Just checked the status, its ready to be shipped today. So will be shipped by end of day.

That is odd... you should call them!

My order status say "1 item(s) shipped via EXPEDITED on 08/06/12 via" and I ordered Friday evening
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
I called this morning, got the "warehouse has the order just waiting for them to process it"

I did not choose expidited though when I did shipping.
[Asus Transformer TF700] guitar1969:
Well 64gb Champaigne's are still nowwhere to be found as far as I have seen (And I have checked all the sites). Another botched release by Asus. Its never good when you have customers settling for lesser expensive versions just because they can't get the one they really want. They need to take a lesson from Apple on how to have a coordinated release of a product.
[Asus Transformer TF700] erick0423:
Just returned my infinity gray tf700 due to a manufacturer defect and went for champagne color hope no problem, will be here on the 8/11/12 pick up at store bestbuy
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
Raised hell with BB since some of you other clowns seemed to be getting yours before me even though I ordered mine at the butt crack of dawn.

Got an email tonight that it is on its way...no tracking number though.

Hoping for a perfect tab in one shot. Figured I will return it 3, maybe 4 times until I grab a perfect one. If nothing after 4, then I may have to consider the note 10.1..:(

Heres hoping for the best :good:

[Asus Transformer TF700] guitar1969:
Still only 32gb - good grief Charlie Brown.

ASUS - release the Champagne 64 already or I might do something ridiculous - like buy an ipad 3 . . . .
[Asus Transformer TF700] lardo5150:
Got mine tonight.

Build quality is absolutely perfect except for light bleed.

I have it across the bottom and both sides.

Not crazy bad, but bad enough for me to say wtf.

So, I will be exchanging it. I could handle some light bleed, since you see it real bad during boot up, but barely during normal use, but anything else I will keep exchanging it.

for 500 bucks, I want close to perfect.

Updated just fine, was fast, sound from my headphones was great.
[Asus Transformer TF700] mozzarella72:
Got mine tonight, Build quality is good except for a little bit of press-iness(?) on one side of the bezel. It's very slight and as long as it doesnt develop into a bigger problem, it doesnt bother me. I love tablet! now if i could just turn off tap to click on the trackpad...
[Asus Transformer TF700] rockface:
I will not be toasting you with Champagne until the UPS truck comes in tomorrow.

Still no news from Amazon on my 64 GB champagne Infinity...

My delivery estimate hasn't changed from "Tuesday August 7, 2012 - Tuesday August 28, 2012". Amazon says they still expect to deliver within that time frame. On a side note, it's strange that the product page now says "This item has not yet been released".

Who else has a 64 GB champagne Infinity on order with Amazon and what is your estimated delivery date?
