[Hardware Hacking General] Alex Atkin UK:
Sadly not, everything is soldered to the motherboard.

There are actually good reasons for it though as interfaces like PCIe and SATA use up a lot of power. So like iOS and Android tablets they stuck with SDIO for the WiFi and eMMC for the storage, which are optimised for much lower power consumption.

Its a shame they cheaped out and didn't at least use an 802.11ac chipset, but then this IS a discount tablet. At least they DID use a 5Ghz capable WiFi chipset so you can still connect to 802.11ac equipment, just only at 150Mbit 802.11n speeds.

The only disadvantage is speeds at the range of my previous laptop are slower (5Mbit vs 20MBit) but that is 50m away across the street and through a thick brick wall. Even though the tablet reports a very low signal strength it seems to hold onto the connection very well. I just use a high gain directional USB WiFi adapter when across there if I want better speed and stability. At home I have had no issues using the internal WiFi on the T100, including using Steam In-Home Streaming.
[Hardware Hacking General] googlefreak408:
I was afraid of that oh well. For what it is its worth every penny for $350 for a 64gb! Aint a bad deal at all, replaces my gaming laptop for everyday use.
[Hardware Hacking General] Alex Atkin UK:
Yeah it just sucks that I only have the 32GB model because they haven't released the 64GB in the UK yet. I had thought it would be enough, but I underestimated just how good the T100 is so you naturally end up installing more on it than originally planned.

I just hope they hurry up and get Linux fully supported on the T100.

Nice Teardown! Good details.
[Hardware Hacking General] Jhong2:
I just picked up the 32GB model with the 500GB HDD in the dock. Haven't torn it down yet, but will do eventually. I have a feeling this cheap modern netbook will be quite good for modding if we can break out the usb3 connections. Main disappointment is the 2gig ram limitation for me.

My main concern right now is getting Ubuntu running nicely on it, wiping off Win8.1. It's a shame there are so many hoops to jump through, this will be very attractive hardware for Linux once it is working.
[Hardware Hacking General] Milchjieper:
I opened up hdd dock

As I postet in another thread already, the Pictures are on my website, as i'm new here and not allowed to post them here unfortunately.

As i can't post the link here you have to google

consultantsoverdose blog

to find it....

There is a ASMedia ASM1074, 4 port USB 3.0 Hub.

and a ASM1153 is a USB3.0 Sata adapter, to which the HDD is connected.
[Hardware Hacking General] Alex Atkin UK:
Easily solved:

Thanks for these, very useful.

I'm disappointed it uses a USB 3.0 hub though as that could seriously break compatibility with some hardware. Its also a shame that HAVING a USB 3.0 hub in there they didn't route those ports somewhere useful. I'm guessing that was for power reasons as with the internal HDD and hub that leaves only around 700mA spare which would be JUST enough for a self powered external HDD on the USB 3.0 port.
[Hardware Hacking General] rseiler:
Did you determine if there's any way to replace them? I can't tell if they're soldered in or not, which I think would be important.
[Hardware Hacking General] intel91:
Clock Generator?

I hate to resurrect a seemingly dead thread, but has anyone truly identified the clock generator? Winbond makes clock generators but I looked up the datasheet on this winbond part number you mentioned and it seems that isn't it. Also, a crystal would presumably be expected to be around the clock generator. I'm not sure if winbond uses another form of oscillator. I have NO experience with this brand. I do notice that from what I can tell Asus has never used them for clock generators in the past.

I checked every pll with 133.3 MHz fsb on cpufsb and ALL failed to change the fsb speed. I would expect overclocking to yield impressive results on this chip. 133.3 MHz is the reported fsb via both cpu-z and Sandra. Interestingly enough, the clock multiplier is shown as unlocked; I haven't yet explored this.

I just upgraded to this tablet from the tf600 and I'm VERY happy with it. Amazing power for a 2 watt tdp, I only wish I could overclock it for when it is plugged in and I wanted to play certain games it is just shy of being able to play as is (like crysis, no joke, it can play it at about 25 avg dipping to ~19).
[Hardware Hacking General] KoeWaffle:
If you have any directions or information as to where this clockgenerator would be located, I can look for you. My touchscreen has died and I am currently taking it apart to remove the touchscreen altogether, so that I at least have a working netbook.

Can't say it was a beauty before, but it hasn't much improved, at least the darn thing works like a charm again!

Screen quality has definitely improved!

[Hardware Hacking General] shaydock:
Hi all,

Can anyone tell me where I can find the MMC drive on my ASUS T100? The computer is not powering (for various reasons) and i'd like to take it out and recover the data on another computer. I just can't figure out where it is (I have taken it apart and looked).

Thanks,

Simon

[Hardware Hacking General] Lyff:
With setfsb I "successfully" raised the fsb (setfsb became pretty bugggy after that, and the fsb locked at 179mhz), with hwinfo and cpuz showing the new frequencies, I even ran some games without big heat issues (and far better performance, like 25/30fps instead of 20/25fps), but the tablet freezed when I tried to stress it with Prime95.

And sadly, I don't know how to reproduce that overclock, I only have the cpu-z validation:

http://valid.x86.fr/z9y0pg

(and I was wondering if it was also possible to raise the multiplier to 18 as cpu-z show me 18 as max clock multiplier).

So if anyone know how to raise the fsb of the t100 and can share it, I'll be very happy.
[Hardware Hacking General] Heli_Ebook:
some pair of BALLS

That is NOT a T100, peckerhead! It's a T200, logging in as "T100".... real friggin' cute. :mad:

Setfsb will respond to the FIRST clock chip of the list inside the program.

So obviously, Asus (Chinglish for ASSES) know all about setfsb and put something in the system to pass the first clock value in the list. Very doable since the putz who created setfsb has not updated the database since 2013, that program is as USELESS as T|Ts on a bull!

WHERE on that setfsb website do you see "ASUS T100" or "ASUS T200" called out in the PLL database? NOWHERE! That website also requests make, model and PLL part number so they can create an entry for the chip, ASUS T100 does not exist on that site, thus this machine has NEVER been overclocked by anyone, anywhere!

Matter of fact; I am pretty sure it's actually a VIRUS! As prior poster BEGS you to come try it, yet slipped with his benchmarking post of over 3 GHz.

13.plala.or.jp/setfsb THIS IS A VIRUS, prior poster PROVES IT.

I realized by the THIRD page you nerds weren't gonna get anywhere. thank God I got a 30 day return policy, this is NOT A GAMING MACHINE! I cannot even run Rogue leader using Dolphin emulator! This P.O.S. needs at least 4 gigs of ram PLUS switches in bios to reserve set amounts of memory for graphics use only. Twinhead did that and it worked very well on an A2010 I had, plus their CPU is SOCKETED! You FOOLS were looking for SOCKETS in a tablet, where the name of the game is WEIGHT LOSS, how damn stupid can you get anyway?

Nerd is one thing but stupid is a whole 'nother story :eek:

Oh and Windows 10 SUCKS. I'm sticking with Xp because a virus won't know what to do in an obsolete operating system.

Oh and ANOTHER thing with this CRAPPY CHINESE MESS: It seems (as usual) they haven't solved the jumping cursor issue which is caused by the keyboard strobe chip underneath the palmrest overheating. Since Y2K, this has been a problem on ALL brands of laptops and by 2015, it hasn't been solved YET? Every laptop I ever owned under a 14" screen had the same cursor jumping problem: HEAT BUILDUP... which is a good argument for not overclocking these little *****es! Thus, I have NO faith in the hardware and even LESS in my BS'ing species!

Ciao
[Hardware Hacking General] Alex Atkin UK:
In case anyone is still wondering about the T100 eMMC, CPU, RAM, WiFi, etc.

Like all the low-end tablets, everything is soldered to the motherboard to conserve space and weight.

NOTHING

can be easily upgraded/removed from the motherboard.
[Hardware Hacking General] bentree:
And something else everyone may find interesting, the so called unused connector on the Camera board, is not unused (j6101) it is the connection for the camera module and no it is not usb based its serial.

On a side note, has anyone ever had the emmc go read only? Mine has, I cant flash or edit it or boot windows properly because it cant even write to it, to boot.
[Hardware Hacking General] Dead_Dude:
if the storage went read only on you it is fried.

There's a limit to how many writes/rewrites a storage chip can do before the microscopic tabs break. When enough break, the drive flags itself as read only to preserve what data remains.

Here is CWM recovery for the T217S. TWRP is in post #2.

Please report any bugs here in this thread. I don't have a T217 to test on, so I'm relying on your reports.

Please test and report if it you can/can't backup to the external sdcard. Please include in your report: what size sdcard and whether it is formatted exfat or fat32.

Internal card is mounted as /data/media. That's how things work now, I can't change that.

It takes a few seconds longer for CWM to boot than the stock recovery, so be patient.

Credits go to:

[MENTION=4021423]ketut.kumajaya[/MENTION] for tons of help with our previous recoveries and kernels

[MENTION=1105488]hkjr[/MENTION] for getting ketut to help

and of course Koush and the CyanogenMod team

Also, thanks to the brave guys in the Q & A thread who tested the earlier versions.

Instructions for ODIN (use T217S.CWM...recovery.tar.zip):

1. Download ODIN on your computer.

2. Power off the device.

3. Restart in "Download Mode" by holding the "HOME" button, "Volume Down" and "Power" all at the same time (for about 5 seconds).

4. Hit the "Volume Up" to enter download mode.

5. Start the ODIN exe program.

6. Un-check Auto Reboot. See notes about ODIN below.

7. Connect the device via USB to your computer. Verify the device shows as "Added" in the Message box. If it doesn't show then you need the Samsung USB drivers (just install KIES to get them).

8. Select "PDA" then choose the recovery file you want to flash.

9. Hit "START" and wait for Odin to complete the flash. Should only take 10-15 seconds.

10. Restart to recovery mode to verify it works (Hold POWER, Volume UP, and the HOME button all at the same time. When you see the Samsung Logo, let go of the POWER button, but keep holding the Volume UP and HOME until you see the recovery screen).

Notes about ODIN

--Make sure that "Re-Partition" is NOT checked.

--Auto Reboot can be un-checked if CWM doesn't flash correctly on your device. Some have reported that un-checking Auto Reboot fixes this issue. If you un-check Auto Reboot, you will need to reboot the device yourself (refer back to step 10).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If the highlight doesn't move on the recovery menu, the selection actually does change. Go ahead and hit Power to select. If the menu goes blank, just hit Volume Up or Down to get it to reappear.

It appears that the menu navigation issue only happens when you use the button combination to boot into recovery. If you use the Quick Boot app or "adb reboot recovery", it seems to work properly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After you get the custom recovery working, you can flash the latest SuperSu zip to get root.

Same install instructions as above.

After installation, you may experience slow behavior in recovery if you use the button combination to boot into recovery. Using Quick Boot from the play store or any other software method to boot into recovery will solve this problem.

Internal card gets mounted as "/data/media". You may have to hit "up a level" on the folder list on the left to find it.

Even the kernel is the same might be a good idea to contact arco about merging the kernel into his.

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...1/arch/arm/configs/msm8930_lt02_spr_defconfig

Note that defconfig is more updated in the stock kernel from samsung pretty sure they added more drivers and #ifdefs to fix things up. I haven't had time to tell him all of this and see if he can merge it together :)
