[Asus Transformer TF700] Zeuszoos:
Device = ASUS TF700T

I used it and got bricked. Others have reported the same. But most people use it just fine. I just wanted people to know that regardless of what anyone says, there is a risk, no matter how many people use it successfully. It is not user error. Anyone who has run it knows that. It's pretty much a "Duh!" as far as the difficulty level. :) Thank God I was still within my first 30 days!

As for GooManager, I have had the same result. I installed the "OpenRecovery Script", which is also quite simple a task and there is no "Recovery Menu" on mine either. It does not "Reboot into Recovery" when you tell it to and even booting manually and holding down the buttons shows nothing but the regular menu and to this day, I still cannot backup my device.

As for ClockWorkMod's "ROM Manager", there is a warning out there not to use it at all and especially not to install it, find out it doesn't work and then install GooManager. All that does, is strip the device of any menu at all and there is no getting it back.

Again, no disrespect to anyone, but I don't care how many people are successful using it. A number of people report the exact same thing I do and that tells you that there is a risk.

I understand people writing and saying that it has worked for them. What I don't understand, is how many people cop an attitude about it, like you're attacking their mother or something and who talk down to anyone who reports a problem and acts like they just weren't bright enough to install it properly, as if it requires their "super intelligence" to accomplish the task or something.

In their position, if I saw one or two reports of a problem, I would not cop an attitude. I may however ask if they're sure they went through the procedure correctly.

But if I saw the number of problem reports that we see with this, then my response would be;

"Wow, that sucks, dude! It worked okay for me, but I guess this app has some risk associated with it, so beware people and use it at your own risk!"

Although the reports are few in number compared to most apps that have issues, it is still enough to know that there must be some kind of issue with it, that does not show up on every device.

I mean, think about it... How many apps have we seen over the years, that generally speaking, work fine on a device as a model, but for some reason, just don't work well for some folks on the very same device? Shhhtuff happens, folks! No need to get upset and whomever cops an attitude about it, dude, no one is killing your mother here! Users had problems! That's what happens in an imperfect world. :)

Yet how many people come down on others who have had issues, like they were just too stupid to tap the "Install" button properly or something. And then when someone objects to such behavior, they try to pretend they weren't rude. Yea, otay! Sure! :)

What puzzles me is how many others jump on the user with a problem for objecting to being spoken to that way.

And of course, they're followed by the inevitable poster... a nice guy... who tells them to just ask questions and they'll get help, because it's a help forum. Okay. <smile>

But enough of that. :)

The bottom line???

If it works for you, then more power to you! Enjoy it! I really am truly glad it worked for you! But there is a risk and the right thing todo, is warn people that there is a risk of their device getting bricked without any chance of recovering it, even if the risk is small. But in my experience in looking at posts on a few different forums about this app and GooManager specifically with the TF700T is that there have been almost as many users who have had a bad experience with it, as there are who have not. And I was one of them and there was no recovery. You could not even get Windows to recognize that a device was hooked up, let alone unbrick it! And others reported exactly the same thing!

That's my experience and that of some others. Your mileage may vary.

For all we know, maybe it's only happening to people who have their devices plugged into the ASUS Keyboard Docks. Hey man, stranger things have happened! :)

Just for kicks, I would be interested to see if those reporting the problem have the KB Dock. And since percentage wise, probably not that many people bought one to go with their TF700T Tablets, maybe the numbers will correspond, when discussing people trying this "Reboot into Recovery" app. That would suck for KB Dock users of course, but it would be funny if that was it. And it would explain the percentages. Hahaha!

Maybe people could report if they use one or not, when they report on if it has worked for them or not???

And with that, I must go. I am recovering from a surgery. But this notice of a new post in this thread hit my email's inbox and I thought it important enough to say something. But to others, I do not wish to go back and forth. I simply can't do it. But I did want to confirm this man's experience and state that yes, it has worked well for others.
