[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vibestarter:
I recently purchased 2 Asus TF103C stocked with Android 4.4.2 and running on an Intel processor. I'd like to load a custom OS/ ROM to them for work however I have not had any success finding a process that allows me to do so. I have managed to root the tablet successfully but that is the extent of my accomplishment to date. I understand that this is a fairly new device and not much has been uncovered yet to achieve this task. Asus is also hesistant to release an unlocked bootlooder update. If anyone is aware of a process whether through adb or the likes please raise your voice to help the community out on this one. :cowboy:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The-Immortal:
Before following steps bellow mentioned don't forget to install USB and ADB drivers

Also download minimal ADB and Fastboot tools ( for links use google search its easily available)

Configure your compute for fastboot Enable USB debugging on the device.

Connect the device to the computer through USB.

From a terminal on a computer, type the following to boot the device into fastboot mode

$*adb*reboot bootloader

Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing*

fastboot devices

If you don't see your device serial number, and instead see "<waiting for device>",

fastboot is not configured properly on your machine.

If you see "no permissionsfastboot", try running

fastboot as root.

From the same terminal, type the following command to get info of the bootloader:

fastboot oem-info

To unlock type

fastboot oem unlock

And press enter

May this will unlock your boot loader in general

fastboot oem unlock Failed

Hello, I tried your command suggestions to unlock the bootloader and they failed. The command 'fastboot oem-info' does not return anything and 'fastboot oem unlock' returns RESULT: FAIL (unkown OEM command) on the tablet and in the cmd window. Thanks for the suggested attempt nonetheless. :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fieryred:
Still having this problem

fastboot oem unlock fails on the TF103C and it says RESULT:FAIL(unknown OEM command). It would be great if Asus could release a tf103c_unlock.apk utility like they have for other Asus tablets (for instance the TF701T has tf701_unlock.apk which works).

Asus, please help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtl001:
Hello, I followed all the rules for my carrier (t-mobile), paid phone in full, bill in full, had service for 40+ days of active service and I have all the paperwork to prove it. After going in circles they finally sent me a email saying they are "unsuccessful in obtaining an unlock code for the given IMEI” after taking picture to prove that the IMEI is the correct one for the phone.

I contacted my bank (USAA) and told them what happened and they said if I could prove it, I had a valid claim. I sent them all the phone records, and emails. Email was where most of the clear proof was because of messages from t-mobile verifying I had done my part.

The bank tried to contact t-mobile and gave them 60 days to respond and they refused to respond to my bank. So the bank reversed the charges for the phone. Then t-mobile without hesitation sent a letter to Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian saying I didn’t pay my bill and creating a bill for the phone and sent it to collections. I’m still working on how to get legal help.

But in the meantime, I have a company taking advantage of their power and unjustifiably ruing my credit while I have a phone I can’t use for anything but a paper weight.

So can someone help me unlock this my phone?

I can provide all the proof I provided the bank for verification that I did everything I was suppose to do: purchased phone/paid if full, paid all phone bill and had uninterupted service for over 40 days, and made multiple attempts with t-mobile to get the phone unlocked just to have them tell me in the end....sorry we can’t find your unlock code.

Side note: Before it got to this point, I actually tried to cancel the service and return the phone 28 days after signing up for service. They said they would only refund the phone after I think 15 or 20 days. But I had been working with their tech support troubleshooting the phone and swapping sim cards to figure out why I didn’t have service anywhere in my neighborhood during that time. It had been less than 2 weeks since the last sim swap while trying to work with them. All they were doing was buying time so I could not return a phone I paid $500+ for at the time.

I got another piece of information from another forum that was a little late. Some customers of t-mobile that were aware of the problem t-mobile and other carriers were giving customers with unlocking their phone found the easiest way to get the unlock code was to tell the carrier they were going to use the phone overseas. Then the carrier wouldn’t think they were trying to switch to another service. Once they verified the customer met all the other requirements, they gave them the code and then they switched carriers.

But that information came to me too late. Plus, since I did everything I was supposed to do, why should I have to lie? Especially when people who know how to unlock phones are hesitant to do it. But carriers are still taking advantage of customers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtl001:
additional information brought up by another forum

The Reason for the post

[quotemsg=14275745,0,312531]Sorry! It is against the rules to offer code or password help.[/quotemsg]

The board rules also state the reason why, and I have proof that I legally purchased the phone, I have a copy of the t-mobile agreement which states that I need uninterrupted service for 40 or more days before eligible for unlock, and as far as the rights agreement between the user and the carrier, the carrier indirectly violated their own agreement by pretending they could not find the unlock code after I followed all the rules requested to receive the unlock code. That is why USAA reversed the charges after getting all the verification and giving t-mobile a opportunity to respond.

So t-mobile took the path of least resistance. Instead of battling it out legally over the "terms of service" with my bank, they just defrauded my credit and left me to fight to get it fixed which has become a bigger financial problem than the cost of the phone.

So the request was with the "rules" in mind. Which is why I included in the post that I can provide all legal evidence that the phone was legally purchased, the carrier breached their own agreement, and I've done everything I know possible to correct the problem.

Another reference to the rules: you can verify ownership along with email communication's with t-mobile through full header/footer copies of emails which is what the bank did. And the bank statements from the bank as well as t-mobile in store purchase receipt verify purchase.

I don't see why you post as if you cannot understand why I am even reaching out to online communities after reading my original post.

[quotemsg=14275745,0,312531] Please contact the carrier.[/quotemsg]

Pretty obvious from my first post that has been done by myself and USAA Federal Saving Bank with no progress
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MiyagiSan:
Sorry, I cannot help with your unlocking query,

However, if you're ultimately unable to unlock the handset (or just want a change), the 1st gen Moto G might be a good option for a replacement for an i9100 (or any other S2). Buy it unlocked and sim-free not from a carrier or one of their partners/resellers.

Stock rom or custom rom. It is an affordable handset with very decent specs.
[Xperia Z3 General] Blaalad12:
Hi guys, Initially i had actually opted for the z3 compact and told myself the full size z3 was just too big and although i do feel its a tad bit bigger then i would like. Iam now telling myself i would be ok with it as the screen allegedly is awesome and iam all for bigger screens ,its just a shame the whole device has to get bigger too lol

Anyways iam now contemplating on the copper or white version? Which are you guys going for? I like the copper,its different but it also looks kinda pink-ish so iam thinking maybe i should stick with the white!

Thoughts?
[Xperia Z3 General] viking2.0:
Black for me. I didnt get a chance to look at the new colors for Z3 in person
[Xperia Z3 General] Blaalad12:
Mint green looks pretty funky too but its not available yet here :( Iam leaning towards the white unless the copper isnt as pink as am thinking ha
[Xperia Z3 General] htc fan89:
I have ordered the copper aka gold z3

Went for the black one and bought a slim transparent sleeve.. got one of those glass screen protectors as well..:laugh:
[Xperia Z3 General] aeron16:
same here. if the silver green or copper were darker tones i may have tried, but the black still looks the most manly!
[Xperia Z3 General] vidge1111:
The black gives you that no-nonsense look.. :D

I do agree that if the green or copper is darker, I would have opted for those as well
[Xperia Z3 General] Bäcker:
green and copper are awesome colors.

I like them both and thought about choosing one of them. Still I opted for black, because the risk of getting fed up with a color after a while is non existant for black ;)
[Xperia Z3 General] guybrush2099:
I like all the colors

silver green is really good but I can't find it and I get no chance to look at "live"
[Xperia Z3 General] Blaalad12:
I bought mine today :0 I went for copper, They only had copper or black and the copper looked far nicer to me! It has a sort of pinkish bronze look to my eyes which prob doesnt sound very appealing but its nice! I wouldnt say beautiful but its different . For some reason i love it on the sides but am a bit meh about it on the back! Over all iam happy with the color although would have loved to of seen it in white!
[Xperia Z3 General] SammyXNA:
I went ahead and got mine in White, had to carry the tradition over from my previous Xperia phones. Quite an upgrade from the SP though.
[Xperia Z3 General] Blaalad12:
Good choice :) Iam already finding that the screen on this LOVES finger prints although i guess ye always notice these things when ye first get a phone! The display is crisp and finger prints arent noticeable once the display is on but because the glass covers the bezels ye can see them on the bezels which is sorta annoying but i can live with it ! I would imagine with the white version they would be less visible
[Xperia Z3 General] vidge1111:
This is very true.. The screen gets really messy and fast.. haha

[Xperia Z3 General] Blaalad12:
100% ha Slightly disappointed by the display i have to say! It looks amazing but the min ye touch it all you can see is grubbyy finger prints! Its actually bugging me more then it should ha
[Xperia Z3 General] jayr04:
I could only imagine all the fingerprints and scratches on the rear of the black. If T-Mobile doesn't offer white or copper I'm not buying.
[Xperia Z3 General] Zanr Zij:
I like both Copper and Silver Green but only Copper available for Z3 Dual so I ordered this color.
[Xperia Z3 General] vidge1111:
You can always get a transparent case for the phone so smudges won't be so prominent at the back.. but the screen, tough.. I hope I find a good screen protector that minimises smudges.

[Xperia Z3 General] tlogic:
Can you guys post a picture of your copper, whites? Just curious how it looks in normal lighting conditions.

I'm also between copper and white. I think black looks nice too and gives that dark-knight feeling, but it's just too monotone for me.
[Xperia Z3 General] SammyXNA:
Here's mine in white, used my old SP running on CM11 to take the pictures with flash... Sorry if it gives any of you the wrong perspective, but I think the flash helps bring the fingerprints out a little more visible:

You barely can see any fingerprints with the white variant of the device, but the screen is another story lol. Besides, we have a fully waterproof device, we can wash/clean it at anytime :D
[Xperia Z3 General] chetly968:
I had the black one and it was great looking. Didn't hae too many problems with fingerprints....whenever I put it in my pocket and pulled it out to use again, fingerprints were pretty much gone. My wife liked it so much she stole it. Then I got the copper one. I really like the brushed copper on the sides but like someone else mentioned, the shiny copper back I could take or leave. Would've been absolutely sweet if the whole thing was a brushed copper aluminum. Either way, I think the black and copper are both equally appealing to me..
[Xperia Z3 General] monoke:
Due to the way the phone is assembled with seperate panels of glass and metal sides coming together, black gets another point due to the fact it hides any possible gaps better should there be any slight imperfections.

I just received my white one today and noticed the lower right side isn't aligned as flush as the rest of the phone. Otherwise, the white looks premium as heck. IMO, better than iphone 6 toy looking white fascia lol. Oh well. Trying to get it exchanged for another. Time to wait again! lol.
[Xperia Z3 General] subhani:
Man this thing is way better than I imagined it would look and feel! The copper one is just superb. The white one just looks tri-tone. The white, the silver sides and then the black screen cut out. The black one is just too understated and doesn't do justice to its beauty. And yes, I used to love the iPhone designs but Apple dropped the ball with their new ones. LOL
[Xperia Z3 General] Shudder123:
i placed an order for the black one. still think it looks the nicest out of all the colours.
[Xperia Z3 General] jkr284:
I got the black one, matches the rest of my gear..
[Xperia Z3 General] Bora777:
I bought a black one. I only managed to see the black and white in person and the former is really slick, but now I'm having second thoughts because the copper seems more interesting (in a really nice way).
[Xperia Z3 General] Blaalad12:
Iam actually surprised how much love the copper is getting. I happen to have opted for it myself but iam not a huge fan of it,its just ok ! My only other option was black and i just felt it was too plain/dull! If i had the mint green and white to choose from then most likely would have picked either of those

I saw White one in the flesh and didn't look half as good as I thought it would so I got the black one, which is really nice. Lookes metallicy which is good too. Copper and Mint are not nice colours at all to my eyes, in fact, the pictures are sending me blind lol :p
[Xperia Z3 General] seqas:
black!! :) as you may see in few other replies in topics i read a lot before consider buying a phone

pros/cons and even color. i had in mind first to buy it white only seen it visual on screen so could only "judge" from here

but after some searching and reading more of the reviewers online of phones was saying that they would go for other color than white

due to something with look and/or feel. how ever in the end i believe i would have chosen black anyway

my other phones are to and always having black background on them to.

but either way its same phone and obvious the person's own choose

however, i love the black look not just on this phone and when i think about it

the whites gets more dirty and i hate cleaning xD

when looking then the colors are sexy on each way and no right or wrong

seeing few in full threat saying copper is quite sexy.

again i did not see or hold the phone(s) before i bought

but damn what a damn sexy phone with crasy clean sound and what comes with it

[Xperia Z3 General] Golgo:
I just saw the silver green in store and damn - that color looks amazing in real life!

Placed an order directly from Sony Mobile who has them in stock in their webshop (at least in Sweden).
[Xperia Z3 General] jonmorris:
My mum told me yesterday that my phone (copper) is the ugliest colour she's ever seen. She really seemed rather repulsed by it!!

But that isn't putting me off, as I really like it simply because it's different. When the Z4 comes out in a few day.. sorry, months, I'll maybe go for something else just so I can feel there's actually something different in my hands.
[Xperia Z3 General] chetly968:
I have just switched back to black. I had a copper one which evidently bent (right near the volu!e rocker a la the iphome 6)when I had it in my jeans and so I got rid of it and went back to black. I think uniformly its just a better look. Although I loved the copper aluminum, the back just didn't look good to me. In certain light and angles my daughter thought it looked pink. Although the black color doesn't have much "pop" to it, at every angle it just flows together.
[Xperia Z3 General] subhani:
I could not agree more with your feedback here. I have done the exact same thing and I don't regret it. The black is underrated and the uniformity of the black slab of seamless glass and metal is just a sheer beauty.

And I was HUUUUGE fan of the gold one. Still am. Sony has done some amazing work on the design front.
[Xperia Z3 General] Harry Wild:
Z3 in Silver Green

I find this color fantastic looking!

Copper all the way... Looks beautiful. Prefer it over the G3 champagne color. I can post a picture side by side if anyone needs a comparison.

[Xperia Z3 General] subhani:
Too right! I switched out my copper for a black since the copper had a light bleed. Black looks sick and stealthy deadly. But soon I was craving myself the copper so I have the copper again! LOL.

That black just looks so stealth so sleek so consistent. Had to say goodbye to the copper.
[Xperia Z3 General] alexwolf47:
For yourself and anyone else with a white device, do you have small gaps on either side of the phone in between the glass and the metal frame? (see photos below for what I mean).

I have looked at exchanging my device but it seems to be a common issue, however if I know there are ones out there which fit perfectly I will try more stores! Could you take a photo if you have no gaps? I love the white as every single phone I have had was black and although it is sleek, you can get bored of it eventually! I would consider exchanging it for a black though as the lack of symmetry does annoy me!

Looks far better than the other colours imo after comparing.

---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

Same, although I think its exacerbated by our colour choice. My phone looks like it has gaps, but when i check, it doesn't seem like there's a gap at all. Nothing fits in the perceived 'gap'. I think it's the way the glass is fitted or coloured.

And as long as the waterproofing is still working, I wouldn't worry about it.
