[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] klownkillah:
I got my TF201 (grey 64 gb model) in January and have been struggling with multiple issues since i received it. I recently got the GPS dongle at the end of September which made the GPS reception better but i was still having other issues (especially with intermittent screen flicker).

I contacted everyone i could think of involved with the purchase:

* The manufacturer; Asus - they wanted me to send it in for warranty repair and I would pay for shipping...

* The vendor i bought it from; Expansys - they offered an RMA for repair, but warned it would take 6-8 weeks and i would pay for shipping...

* The aftermarket warranty company; SquareTrade; they gave me a free label to print and ship it to them and said i would have it back within 5 days.

So I sent my TF201 (grey 64gb model) to Square Trade for repair... i reported the following issues to them:

1) Screen flicker

2) Poor WiFi reception

3) Poor GPS reception

4) Poor Bluetooth reception

They had it for 5 business days before notifying me that they were going to fix it; they updated the claim right as they closed for the day.

I called them on the 6th business day and explained they had it for more then 5 days, the rep confirmed this was true and they refunded me the 79.99 i paid for the warranty since they did not have it back to me within the 5 day period. They also said it would take another 7 to 10 days for parts to arrive before they can fix it and ship it back to me

So at this point i had a free warranty on the device.... cool, but i still had to wait for the repaired item.

On the 8th business day i brought out the big guns and let my wife call them to get another update. At that time she explained to the SquareTrade rep that this was ridiculous and that we needed it back sooner as i was going out of town and my wife needed the device while i was gone.

The rep understood that refunding the cost of the device (599) would allow us to purchase a replacement sooner then waiting for them to send the repaired item back; so the rep authorized the reimbursement of the full $599

So i got my $599 plus the $79.99 back.... I love SquareTrade!

Now if only i could find a buyer for the dock/keyboard and GPS dongle...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gregcapps:
Just curious how much you asking for the dock?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] msfguard:
Same pmed ya soon as ya posted lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] klownkillah:
LOL! sorry guys, I was little thrown off - my intent of posting was to share my experience with SquareTrade... I was not trying to solicit buyers for the dock. I suppose that is a bonus to posting the story though. I responded to the both of you via PM with a preference on the first received inquiry.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Thats awesome. When did you get your squaretrade warranty?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] charlesthedestroyer:
I have always had good experiences with square trade. I tried to get their warranty for my prime, but i bought mine on craigslist and they wouldnt let me. Owell. So are you gonna get another asus product with the refund money?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] klownkillah:
I got the square trade warranty the day after I purchased the prime; prior to its delivery.

This was my first and only experience with square trade.

I did already buy a Nexus 7 which is an Asus product but I don't think I will be getting another Transformer. Ironically I have been experiencing screen flicker with the Nexus 7 also.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
Thank you for this. I bought a 2 yr squaretrade warranty and I'm going to exercise that soon....as soon as I get my Prime back from Asus
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] krispy521:
I've been holding off using my squaretrade warranty in hopes that Gamestop will do an exchange for the Infinity and while I wait for something better that's not an Asus POS to come out. I figure if I have to go through squaretrade because of Asus's lack of support, then I will never buy another Asus product again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keebler1175:
Not so lucky with SquareTrade...

Similar issue to OP, but didn't get nearly the same results.

My Prime arrived at their repair center yesterday. Got an e-mail today saying it was fixed, and was on its way back to me.

I called to ask what was repaired. They said the technician noted that they had reloaded the latest update and reset to factory defaults.... Ummmmm.... I did that before I ever shipped it to them!

So, no fix, and headed back here... I really wish I could get GameStop to replace/refund this thing or ASUS to refund... Both of those avenues seem to be a dead end...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] klownkillah:
I think you are lucky then - if that is all they did then nothing should have been deducted from the total value of your warranty!

So when you get your prime back and the issue continues, call them back and be prepared to send it in again.

I would also politely request better attention to detail from their technicians and explain that you have already been without the prime for x many days so you would really appreciate a swift resolution.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
I'll let you all know my experience as my tablet has been sent off. I explained that it was already sent to Asus and some repairs have been done but still poor wifi issues.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ganyapr:
I sent my Prime to Squaretrade for repairs as the HDMI port on the prime was bad, it took them less than two days to get them back to me after they received it. Well I was all happy until I decided to match the serial numbers and guess what, they don't match. My prime is a 32gb and the one they sent is a 64gb, not complaining, double the storage. But the HDMI on this one doesnt work either. I tried 3 different tv sets and different cables and nothing. It used to work before on my 32gb but the port felt loose. So I call them and they are trying to figure what happened with the repair center, should I claim them the full price and switch to an Infinity or Nexus 10?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
So what happened with this? Did you get your original tablet back repaired, or did you get the original cost of the tablet reimbursed to you from SquareTrade?

I also sent you a PM.

klownkillah, I sent you a PM too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] klownkillah:
I was also curious what happened with @ganyapr's prime - it certainly is an interesting situation.

@unknown_owner - i replied to your pm; it wasn't my prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ganyapr:
Sorry for not updating. Well, it turned out that the technician mixed back covers and sent me the wrong unit. I had to send it back and squaretrade refunded me the money for warranty. I have to wait until next Monday to know what happend to my original prime since they cant find it now. If they cant find it they will give me the 64gb version instead of the 32gb I had or refund me the full price of the tablet. I'll let you know guys next week of what happens.

Should I just ask the for the refund and move on?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] klownkillah:
wow - I expected squaretrade and their repair facility to be more on top of things.... if it were me i would say something like:

'this is ridiculous! you guys don't even know what happened to, or where, my original prime is! at this point i have already been without the device for X many days! please refund the full amount of the device; this will obviously be the quickest and most expedient way for me to get back to using the device'

If that works then you could either buy it again or purchase a different model that is not plagued by the issues the prime had.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ganyapr:
An update

So the repair center called me and they did replaced the mainboard and Squaretrade updated the serial number. My original was a 32gb and the replacement is a 64gb so I will stay with it instead of asking for full refund, the only issue I had was the hdmi port. Lets see how the wifi is on this unit as I didn't had an issue with my original.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] klownkillah:
You got a free upgrade and all parties involved are OK with it. Sweet!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ian1:
Can your tablet be unlocked and still get repaired under square trade warranty?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] klownkillah:
The tablet i returned in the OP was unlocked.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
Don't mean to resurrect an old thread but after months of fighting with SquareTrade, I'm going to be reimbursed the cost of my Transformer Prime. On the last repair they did (this totaled 3 repair attempts) for me, they changed out the mainboard (serial number didn't match). Well doing that caused the tablet not to charge at all or turn on when it was completely dead. Google Nexus 10, here I come!!

Open the RUU

Press WindowsKey + R

Type in "%TEMP%", then enter

Sort the file by date modified and find the folder with a zip that says "rom.zip"

Copy that to your desktop

Close the RUU

Rename the "rom.zip" to "PC36IMG.zip" and place it on the root of your sdcard (not inside ANY folder)

Boot your phone into bootloader (power it off, then hold the power key + VolDown)

The bootloader should find the PC36IMG.zip and commence the update process back to 100% stock

Note: Your sdcard must be formatted to FAT32 for this to work

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bort76:
I just hard bricked my

second

GS3. I bricked the first one a couple of months ago (the day I got it) when used a cheap OTG cable to attach a flash drive to the phone. The phone just shut down. No charge light ever, no response to usb, just nothing.

When I got my second phone, I took a deep breath and tried the OTG cable again and it worked fine. I thought I just got a bad phone.

But today, on a whim, I wanted to see if my phone would run an external USB cd drive. BAM, the phone shuts down and is hard bricked again!!

So, I guess this is a cautionary tale, as well a plea to the community for any recommendations. Someone had a similar problem months ago, but I didn't see a resolution. I will probably end up sending it for JTAG repair, but I don't know if it will do any good since this wasn't caused by borking a ROM install. Anybody have any experience with this?

One thing is for sure. That OTG cable is going in the trash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Volvogia:
I have never heard of this. Very interesting. Sorry to hear this for you. I have been using my cable for awhile now and only ever had one problem with it. I was viewing pictures and looked away from the phone for a few moments. Phone went into sleep mode like normal. Dull screen then screen off. Prob was it wouldnt wake up. Nothin i did woke it up so i had to do a battery pull. Phone was fine after that and havent had the problem since. Gonna keep fingers crossed after reading the OP.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bort76:
Yeah, it is a real pain. I found some other people who had the same issue.

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32816-sgs-3-and-otg-usb-adapter-might-equal-brick/

I just can't imagine what must be happening. I wish one of those uber-smart hackers who were working on the bootloader unlock would see this and give me some idea if it is even fixable. It is almost like it blew a fuse.

Anyway, I have an email out to mobiletechvideos to see if they think it can be jtag-ed. I have a feeling that a $2 cable is going to end up costing me $600.

----- Update -----

I made and tried a usb jig, just for kicks. No luck. Still waiting to see if mobiletechvideos gets back to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bort76:
Another quick follow-up... I got a response from mobiletechvideos.

If you are too lazy to google PMIC, it is the power management chip. Sounds like there is a problem with the cable where the power is being directed somewhere it shouldn't be.

This weekend, I will carefully cut open the cable and see if I can see the problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] natronicus:
Don't like resurrecting threads, but was curious for an update. This just happened to my Verizon GS3 as well. Completely unresponsive. I'm still under warranty so am about to go to the store to have it sent back, but came across this thread while trying to hunt down solutions.

[Acer Iconia A500] alatnet:
Ok, so since I cant post anything including into ongoing threads in the android development forum due to the 10 post required thing i'll just have to ask development questions here till i reach the 10 post requirement.

Can anyone point me into the direction for how the second boot image that you flash for the dual boot bootloader is created? Trying to figure out how to create an image so that it boots everything off the microsd card including the kernel. It seems that the kernel used in the guide is locked to 2.6.38 and if you update the kernel within the tablet's linux environment it doesnt load it up. so i need to figure out how to create a boot image so that it loads it up or create a boot image that has grub (or other bootloaders) installed on it to boot different linux images.
[Acer Iconia A500] themechaniac:
You are on the right track with mkbootimg. I have not figured it all out myself yet.

You have to compile your arm linux kernel then make a bootable image with mkboot

I don't know if you have seen this or if. this will help---Nethams kernel compile commands are;

make ARCH=arm menuconfig

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueable--j16

./mkbootimg --ramdisk dev/zero --kernel arch/arm/zimage -o ../recovery.img

I believe these are the commands he uses to compile his recovery image (boot.img)

It is my understanding that mkboot combines the kernel with a ram disk to make an image file that will boot the system

That image file can be placed in several places 1-primary boot position 2 recovery position 3 and if you have Skrilax dual boot secboot position

So it depends on what mkboot compiled as to what happens when that boot point is activated.

I am still trying to work out how Spdev and Netham combine or configure the kernel + initramfs+ ramdisk to create their bootable images.

I know these images boot and point to the file system which can be stored on internal or external sd card or even usb drive it all depends on how the boot image is configured.

Still learning myself :)

Here is a link I found explanes about Linux ram disk and initram

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-initrd/index.html

And more info here downloads a PDF presentation on how to.

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...poCoAw&usg=AFQjCNHLTHE3DaroC71FAjOjQWU2A61qEQ

All about that mkbooting after you get your kernel:)

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images
[Acer Iconia A500] alatnet:
Yea, i did find some stuff with mkbootimg including the last link that you posted.

The kernel was already compiled when i downloaded it using apt-get and it is placed in /boot folder.

I did make a boot.img from that kernel using mkbootimg and looking at "/proc/cmdline" at the arguments that were passed to the kernel in the other kernel image and it made it, flashed it to secboot and it didnt do anything except use the same kernal as before, though i did flash the image via dd in linux. Apparently this sorta screwed up my /data partition or something in where it wouldnt recognize my password for de-encryption to mount it. (fixing it by just erasing "/data" [bye bye data... TT.TT]) So i tried booting it using "fastboot boot <kernel>" and it didnt boot, only showing a black screen, but using the other boot.img it would boot linux up.

So I'm thinking of somehow creating a kernel image that can use kexec to make a grub like bootloader kernel that you flash onto the secboot partition that has something similer to grub.cfg in which you can easily select which kernel to load.

As for looking for a grub.cfg file, it would look in a few different places:

-in internal storage (probably recovery partition or the "/system" partition as the "/data" partition can potentially be encrypted and not mountable.)

-sd card (has to be in first partition and in fat32 format)

-usb drive (same as sd card)

from these places it will load each grub.cfg. that way it'll make the grub like bootloader kernel extendable in which kernel to load (i.e. have a linux system on usb that you want to boot from.)
