just a follow up:

my tab is gonna be replaced (but the shop i bought it from is taking its sweet time...) 6 weeks without my tf300 *sigh

i had to wait 1 month for a replacement screen (which didn't came in time) so i get a new one.

my tab was unlocked, custom rom'd, rooted, etc... but it was a hardware defect - so from my point of view all hardware related issues should be covered by warranty - if you brick your tab you need a convincing telephone voice i imagine :)

so i hope i have my new tab by the end of the week

cheers

Well apparently thats not quite right - so i have to redact my statement.

Asus told me again and again that i get my hardware broken device repaired... well apparently they lied. 5 weeks after they had my tab i just received a mail stating - your device was rooted your waranty is lost. i argued but the dude didn't admit to how they knew that (he didn't even mentioned the unlocking)

fun fact: i have to pay 70€ to even get my broken device back.. ain't that nice of Asus... - if i want it repaired its almost the price of a new unit

now I'm thinking of calling my lawyer to talk to him about that and what can be done - with the user tracking and all that - maybe they can be reasoned with

If Asus had stated you rooted/unlocked - you have to pay from the start - ok but letting you wait for weeks and weeks telling you - just a missing part at no cost - thats BS

/rant :)

well from now on its my acer a700

FU Asus for being such lying btards - keep my unit - im gonna sell the dock (yay)
[Transformer TF300T General] new ion?:
In a way I can see where they are coming from... with root access we can alter system files and really mess something up... hardware issues included... not that i know how, but I'm sure there's a way we could(totally talking out of my ass here..) disable for instance the SD card reader then call in and complain that the reader doesn't work and get a brand new one
[Transformer TF300T General] Buster99:
well they could tell by the changed firmware - and if they reflash stock that prob would have been gone.

in my case i had a genuine hardware error - asus confirmed that - but due to my rooting (not unlocking atm) i lost warranty. well i send in an email and i hope i get something back in wrinting - since so far only phone calls and i did not record them.

we will see

cheers
[Transformer TF300T General] new ion?:
Good luck! :)
[Transformer TF300T General] krhainos:
I'm in the US and created an RMA request with Asus. I was quoted between $87 to $100 to repair the OS on a device with an unlocked bootloader.

This excludes the cost of you shipping Asus the tablet. However, it includes the cost of labor, diagnostic, and shipping back to you.

I've sent my tablet in via FedEx Ground on Friday, and it arrived at their Grapevine,TX (near Dallas) around 11am on Monday. This cost me about $15 so far.

The Asus RMA site has not acknowledged that they've received my tablet, while FedEx has shown that it's been delivered and signed for. I called again and was told it "might take a few days" for it to show up in their system.

I'm waiting to see if Asus keeps to their quoted estimated price.

Debating if I should make a new thread about this, or continue in this one as I'd hate to hijack someone else's thread.
[Transformer TF300T General] Buster99:
damn - 100 bucks for a fresh flash - too bad. just hope they don't find anything else ( in my fineprint they stated - if we find anything else brocken you will be billed an additional 66€ + addtitional hardware...)

atm im contemplating if i should pay the repair or pay the shipping costs since i do have the acer 700 i could use the tab as netflix streamer on my tv lol

btw cont. here - at least all is in one place then, i don't mind.

cheers
[Transformer TF300T General] vnvman:
What do you mean by repair the OS? Can't you do this yourself by flashing or something? I guess the whole "unlocking voids warranty" thing is made pretty much to prevent the users from screwing around with custom stuff then ask Asus for a fix. Don't get me wrong, but honestly it just makes sense that they don't wanna fix software related issues for free after you unlocked the thing. Otherwise people will eg send them devices with an AOKP ROM asking them for a specific fix for a specific CM related bug that the ROM has. Believe me, there may people out there who are actually THAT dumb
[Transformer TF300T General] mikaole:
think that´s not the problem. If i brick my pad by flashing a custom Rom, zhaz sucks, but it´s my fault.

But there were many German users with hardware problems after unlocking and Asus wouldn´t repair it because the pads were unlocked and that for me is a no go.
[Transformer TF300T General] krhainos:
"Repair the OS" is the term the Asus representative used. When the JB update came out, I re-flashed CWM which caused the tablet to hang and then sit in a perpetual state of trying to boot a non-compatible recovery kernel. I can't access fastboot, recovery, or adb. It seems the when the tablet encounters a kernel panic it attempts to load recovery, which at the time neither CWM or TWRP were compatible with the new JB kernel.

It appears that Asus will still cover hardware workmanship and defect issues -- like say the glass is delaminating, or the SD card slot no longer works -- but software-related issues are not covered under warranty and you'll be charged.

Just checked the Asus site, and now it's saying my RMA doesn't exist. This is going well.

EDIT: I gave them a call, it appears that my tablet has "entered the work queue", and hopefully I will soon be quoted the price.
[Transformer TF300T General] vnvman:
Well I can't say that I completely agree with their policy, but it does actually make sense, because at a certain extent the damage is due to the user unlocking the device and the subsequent flashing of unofficial content. However I wish you the best of luck with this. Fortunately the issue I have is obviously hardware related, so I hope they won't bother me much...fingers crossed, needless to say.
[Transformer TF300T General] Buster99:
Thats not quite true.. as i've asked today asus again, as soon as you unlock it or be prooven to have rooted you have to pay for any repairs. Even if the device was faulty from the start. (Hardware or software wise) So what the rep told me on the phone prior to my quote for repairs was complete BS.

That kinda prooves only buy google devices from now on....

Cheers
[Transformer TF300T General] MarcoHafkamp:
I returned my softbricked device to Asus. It was locked but rooted. The brick was my fault and the tablet ended up in a bootloop.

I was scared they would notice the root and that i had to pay.

After 4 weeks the tablet returned. It was repaired at NO cost! A simple reflash they said, thats all. Nothing about root and warrenty.

Btw: i live in the Netherlands
[Transformer TF300T General] krhainos:
This is excellent news! That's awesome :)

I have not heard any news from Asus yet.
[Transformer TF300T General] bjanice44:
It seems each countries service centers are different, probably because the contracted parties for the service are different.

Has anyone had a softbrick repaired on their TF300T in the US that can share their experience and charges etc..?
[Transformer TF300T General] krhainos:
Just in case anyone's still following this -- I've been told that they have not gotten to my tablet yet. One day shy of two weeks they've had it.

They also said it'll be two weeks for me to get it back (including shipping time) once I've paid for the repair (which I haven't been invoiced yet).

So, if you brick your tablet, expect to be without it for at least 3-4 weeks.
[Transformer TF300T General] sparky28000:
Just saw my bricked tf300 has been repaired and I didn't get an email about the amount of money I have to pay so it wil probably be less than 150 euro. It took mine 3 weeks to get repaired.
[Transformer TF300T General] Rompf:
I sent mine to get it repaired here in Colombia, they said no fix we have to replace the motherboard. The replacement gets here in 1 to 2 months and it costs around 280 dollars xD.
[Transformer TF300T General] osiris5180:
Same problem here in Florida, US, I've been told by ASUS that I have to pay $185 dollars, to get the "motherboard" repair, because it was Bootloader unlocked, and it was out of warranty, also it's been about a month since I sent it to them :(
[Transformer TF300T General] new ion?:
How is it out of warranty already? Wasn't it just released this Jan with a 12 mo warranty?
[Transformer TF300T General] krhainos:
I've just been quoted $122 + $65 + $10 shipping. Which comes out to a shade under $200 total.

End of the line, folks.

I'm not paying Asus $200 to fix a $300 tablet, and I'm basically going to be throwing in the trash at this point if I get it back.
[Transformer TF300T General] cambunch:
Because you lose your warranty when you unlock it.
[Transformer TF300T General] InsaneCheese:
The loss of warranty might be country specific. I haven't called Asus, but here in Australia there have been a couple of warranty rules like that overruled by local laws relating to warranty - at least on hardware faults. Or so I have been told anyway.
[Transformer TF300T General] Blubberor:
in Germany no matter waht you have at least 6 months warranty on the manufactorer and HE/THEY have to proove that you made the hardware brick, but apparently it looks like they do not so and they only state your warranty is lost and you need to pay...

the problem with law is THEY need to PROOVE it was because of an unlocked bootloader...

Hope mine won't brick, BUT as I do not overclock or do anything else with it than just want to install custom roms they will loose a lot of customers by this strategy...
[Transformer TF300T General] Buster99:
yap but getting a laywer involved woukd be more costly than 289€ well all i can say ia that asus wont be getting me as a customer for another device (damn i hope the next nexus qont be an asus)

cheers

btw 8 weeks almost.....
[Transformer TF300T General] vnvman:
BGB is boss. Here in Italy the law is confused and self contradictory, so basically for this kind of matters you generally get a lot of bs. However my situation is still unchanged, no response from Asus yet...I'll keep you guys posted.
[Transformer TF300T General] sparky28000:
Mine got repaired for free apparently it was unlocked and I bricked it myself (The Netherlands btw)
[Transformer TF300T General] krhainos:
I might have a semi-happy ending. After sending a rather sharply-worded e-mail about the RMA process and sudden increase in price from the original quoted price, they've agreed to lower the price to the upper-end of the quote and waive shipping. It's cheaper then throwing out all my Asus accessories and buying a different tablet at this point.

We'll find out how good of a job they did when I get it back.
[Transformer TF300T General] Psyloid:
I would not call that semi - happy, but okay.
[Transformer TF300T General] krhainos:
Yeah .. it's borderline acceptable.
[Transformer TF300T General] Buster99:
well... i got it back... onnly after my lawyer sent an inquiry to arvato.... suddenly the missing part was there .

months later and 290€ poorer i got my tab back....

asus still has a bad reputation.. a survey by ct placed them last... can't say im surprised now. as long as they use arvato as their repairservice i wont by another tab from asus....

well

thats it

cheers

[Transformer TF300T General] krhainos:
I've gotten my tablet back today. It returned back to me with 9.4.3.30 and a locked bootloader. I'm unable to unlock my bootloader using the Unlock Device Tool, presumably because either Asus servers are garbage, or that the new mainboard has the retained my existing serial number -- and the same serial number can't be used twice.

Either give me my warranty back, or let me unlock my bootloader -- you can't have it both ways, Asus ;P

Jerks.

[Transformer TF300T General] CyberdyneSystems:
the serials can be hacked...thats extreme..last option type deal.

my friend, had one when it furst came out, he was modding it, custom rom, it was early test stages...but he bricked it, lolz

he took it apart go ahold of the drive,used it as a secondary slave,fixed what he could...

when he booted it, it showed the unlocked device word....he went back made a custom boot logo, so it hid the warning..

returned it to asus, week later got a BRAND NEW one,lol

hes in germany as well, so they must be good.
[Transformer TF300T General] vnvman:
My TF300 left my house today, God knows when it will be back...I was about to let go for my green pixel issue, but then a few days ago a greenish shade appeared in the middle of the screen, very annoying when dark colours are displayed. Honestly it was impossible for me to go on using such a messed up screen. Hopefully Asus will realize it's all about the crapped out LCD and send the thing back to me repaired or replaced free of charge. Maybe I'm a bit optimistic but oh well...regardless what happens, I'll never pick an Asus device again, that's for sure. The display on this device really is a POS, too bad I didn't realized it at the shop. God, I swear I've seen some way cheaper tablets with way less discolouration and more uniform lighting throughout the panel.
[Transformer TF300T General] krhainos:
Hey guys,

Hi,

I am fighting against a problem with interactive cpu governor. For some reason cpu frequency gets randomly locked to any value. Rom is Android Revolution HD and kernel is faux 8b9. However, this has happend with older kernels & roms too.

Any ideas ? Familiar issue to anybody ?

Hello,

I have had a lot of problems of updating my Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro with CyanogenMod 9 but this files worked for me, in the correct order :)

1. flashtool -> SK17i_4.1.B.0.431_BB72.ftf

2. flashtool -> SK17_4.1.B.0.431_WORLD.ftf

3. fastboot -> boot.img (from FXP133-cm-9-20120809-UNOFFICIAL-mango.zip, CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.1)

4. CWM recovery -> FXP133-cm-9-20120809-UNOFFICIAL-mango.zip (Android 4.0.4)

But... Then I realised that CyanogenMod 9 had a much uglier interface than "Real ICS r5.2". Is this possible to solve with a Theme?

Thanks in advance
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mrahmanda:
yeah . i want this too if possible . but this need a lot of hardworks

what do you need from cyanogenmod 9 ? and what do you need from Real ICS ?

i think there is no perfect rom like this :D

so which one ?

Cyanogenmod 9 optimized performance for daily uses

Real ICS great and nice interface for comfortable uses
