Once the bootloader for the Asus Transformer Prime is unlocked, what do we plan to do with it? I know the obvious answer is "Build Custom Roms", but I want to know more of what is expected to be accomplished with this new power we will be able to control!! I heard that we may be able to fully install Ubuntu once this this is unlocked. I want this thread to be about all the details we want to change with the prime to make it better, faster, and stronger. If we get a large list of opinions on what we want out of this thing, we can help developers get an idea on how they can make this Ipad killer perfect. Please make as many creative ideas as you can because it will always help improve the prime more
Don't mean tl rain on your parade as this is a good idea BUT a developer already created a thread just like this and its matured alot already. Very well put together also. You probably would be better posting your ideas n such in that thread. Ill try to find link.
But yes, unlocked bootloader will mean you can dual boot Ubuntu or whatever else flavor of Linux comes out. We already have Fedora also.

just got a neo MT15i..with no past android experience..first how to tell if my phone is factory unlocked or unlocked with some some other method..it came with some t mobile papers in the box..and if it not factory unlocked then do i need to root it to get updates?
Welcome to using the great phone that is the neo. Have a look around the forums and you will see what what's you can use to root your phone. Don't use ota updates. First t thing to do would be to get the boot loader unlocked so u can flash 2.3.4 on your phone and flash rootxperia to gain root.

WTF are you saying? This guy has his first Android, and you want him to unlock the bootloader immediatly?
2.3.4 will come official in October, so if you're not in a rush (I can say that easily @signature ) just wait for it.
I'd recommend to just try out some stuff, download some nice apps and play with your phone. Read XDA, if you understand it a bit, and need some mods to your phone, ask how to do it. For the first weeks, I'd keep off the modding.

I think you won't, carrier unlock is quite hard, but I'm not sure.
Here's an example for carrier unlock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212405&highlight=carrier+unlock

Well I was a noob as well, still count myself as one sometimes with cooking roms etc but that's not the point, It's not that hard to unlock the bootloader, especially if alejandrissimo helps him and it's worth it to be honest. it's obviously up to him if he wants to do it though, also... carrier unlock can be done as well very easily with alejandrissimo as well, all at the same time, and one day there will be prob the same things like the iphones, 1 click-root/unlock/bootloader unlock etc... and people/noobs/experts/whoever will still fail at it....
I do agree on reading up on XDA a bit though and enjoying the phone and not rushing into things, but if you want to learn, go at your own pace and if you want to dive into doing the good 'ol unlocking bootloaders then go for it and we can always give you advice and help if/when you need it.
lol..thanks for the help guys..i will look around the forum..i dont really think there is a need for rooting my fone rite away..it does wat i want it to do..unlike ios devices which are screaming for a jailbreak right out of the box
No problem there is a lot of info on the forums and we are always around one way or another, here and there, to give advice and help with any issues that may arise
Yeah, enjoy your phone for a while and get used to the o/s and if you want more then go for rooting/unlocking bootloader/themes/overclocking, list goes on.
I hear you about ios devices, 3 phones back i had a iphone 3gs... never again, I had to jailbreak it and even then i felt so... restricted, love android, last 2 phones have been running android. Google (Samsung) Nexus S and now my little and awesome Sony Xperia Neo.
Got a cheap tablet for Christmas called a Zenithink E98. Came in a box labeled SuperPad IV. It came preloaded with a chopped version of Cyanogenmod on it but I havent been able to find out much about it. And yes I mean it came out of the box with Cyanogenmod. Anyone know about this tablet or if I can update it to a better quality version of Cyanogen? Havent found hardly anything out on this at all.
Figure I will post the manufacturers website, put this post up to the top and hope someone will take an interest lol. Cannot figure this dang tablet other than i have it rooted. And if anyone does know a little about this tablet can you help em figure out why 3rd party markets think its an iPad and wont let me download anything, for example GetJar.com
www.zenithink.com
Go into the browser settings and change it from IPAD to FLASH (ANDROID)

Hi everyone... Is someone able to build a cm or something else like omni, pac or paranoid for this device: Asus MeMo Pad 10.1 [Me 102a] with 1.6 GHz quadcore [rk101]

i think you should look for a topic about your pad in the developing topics, how I wish I could have a cm9 on lg l3 e405
Thats the Problem... There is no topic about this pad ... and not listed in cyanogen(get cm) only memo pad from asus that is listed , is the 10 FHD with dualcore.... But it has different Hardware
Looking for Root for ASUS_MeMO_Pad_10_ME102A
I want to install a VNC server so I can remote into the tablet and help my mom out. The ME102A is a steal at $200 for Qaud core 1.6Ghz it seems to perform pretty well for a $200 10.1. So with Stock 4.2.2 I'd like to get root. I searched and can't find any alternative ROMs or root instructions. A lot for the MeMO Pad 7. There isn't any forum for it I guess - can't understand why ...
Sure this pad has really good performance and batterylife is on heavy use also fine... I havn't test the 3d performance, but i think it's not the first priority on such a big pad... Streaming and browsing arround i'm on 9 hours of battery... With round about 6 hours of screen-on-time... I think it's good enough for this pad .. I hope someone of the devs reading this and will bring up some nice Roms..

This pad is not listed on Asus the site. I registered my device and have access to the kernel code, if needed.

Found directions on Youtube, by searching ME102a root. You have to use a chinese root tool. Disclaimer: I did not try this and I did not post the video, try at your own risk.
I User this tool for rooting , it works... my pad is succsessful rooted... but there is no clockworkmod-recovery to find
This tablet has reached some really good prices lately. Lets spark up some dev interest.
Noticed someone has tried to drum up some interest on transformer forums under the ME301T section but no responses yet (can't post link b/c still noob)
How can i make a systemdump from the pad? Does it work on Windows or must i take Linux(ubuntu)?
I want try to build my own custom Rom...

Go to the about in the settings. From there, go to the Software information, and keep hitting the build number until it starts to count down. This unlocks the developer menu, which you need to enable usb debug (ADB).
Asus ME102a (k00F)
Bumping. If you believe the bench-marking apps it ou-tperforms the Galaxy Tab 10.1 for $100 less. It may be this "Rockchip" processor that's holding it back. Sure would love to see some XDA hero succeed where CM has failed.

I just received the tablet and I am in great love with it so far. i just wish to remove all these unnecessary apps and make it slimmer.
BTW, dose Kingoapp root work for this tablet as well? Thank you.

I'm also interested to see if anyone has tried these. There is also a starting community over at transformerforums.com.
I just got a notification for an OTA update. Should I hold off on the update until I root or should I root first then update? Is there a standard Android practice regarding OTA and root?
I will wait to update ota , maybe root is gone after this..

Wish i would have seen this earlier, but it's too late now.
I did the Asus update which popped up right when i turned the tablet on, then downloaded and ran Kingo One click, and all was rooted and running great in minutes!
So far so good, as long as the problems dont bite me in the butt

I got this tablet from the black friday sale at staples for $149.99 shipped to my house!!! Hard to beat that price for a quadcode 10 inch..
But I will follow advice here and wait for a safer rooting method.
I research and Vroot doesnt seem safe,
thanks

And the flyer arrived today, very much delayed. Seller didn't know if it was s-off but he had 4.0 on it so it must be s-off., no ? Who am I askin nobody readin this anyways...makes the rule that much annoying. So first step is to find out if it is s-off, allthough it is highly probable. Jeej my first ever android thingy...
Oh and if anybody is reading this ; I'm posting here as to not smirk any other place.

well..installed is cyonegnomods 4.1.1 version with chainfires supersu. But still it's not working right. Cant't play vid's for ex. Also cannot make phone call . Read that downgrade to gingerbread should fix it, but I read cyonomod's changelog and read about some fixes to the phone app/dialer. And some more stuff. Feels like I'm on a steep learning curve . To get the right Gingerbread ruu I need to post more. Oh well....it's not like I'm bothering anyone.

So here I am, with a flyer which is s-off and has a 4.1.1 cynogemod os with leedroid kernel which should be able to make phonecalls but it doesnt. As it doesn't do many other things and crashes..mmm. Kinda sorry I don't get to make it s-off , as this is my first android. Nope, now it's just waiting an posting till I can get the information ( ruu) I need so I can downgrade it to Ginger. And then find the posts again with the correct instructions I needed. It is kind of a mess in here....but feels cosey and warm
Thread closed. There's a reason for the 10 post rule, and creating a thread like this to circumvent it is childish, and a waste of XDA resources.
I have noticed some subtle changes in my phone recently despite it not having any updates, and while in the support page for "nearby" I noticed it said that I am running a custom android version.
I have read up lightly on rooting and custom ROMs, mostly here, and my questions are; is this normal? If not what should I do about it? How, and why would this be done?

No, but I know exactly when it would have happened. And who was fully capable of it. Who was also the only person with the opportunity to.
And a custom ROM IS way better. If you choose to install one, you choose the one that you install, and complete the whole process in a secure way that best suits your needs. I doubt one that is secretly installed is there for my benefit. And I feel like you should know that
