New prime today , what to do? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Hello .. ill get my prime today .
I think it will be c2 or c3
What i need to do for root it?
Thanks!

Read.
Seriously though, just go on in the development section here. If your firmware is below .21, you can use the ViperMod to root your device. You can also use this Mod to unlock your device (will void your warranty though) and install ClockworkMod Recovery. If your Prime comes with the .21 firmware pre-installed, you're out of luck for root as far as I'm aware. I don't believe a .21 exploit for root has been found and implemented yet.
If you avoid connecting via wifi on first boot, you can check your firmware and prevent the Prime from automatically downloading the. 21 firmware (in the event it already isn't pre-installed). This way, if it isn't installed, you have the option to do what I posted above. Again, understand that if you choose to unlock the bootloader and install ClockworkMod, you are voiding your warranty. You need to make sure your Prime is free of manufacturing defects first.
It may be best to just wait to root and unlock. I'm sure there will be a root option available eventually for .21. This way you can test drive your Prime to make sure you're happy with it for a while.

There are many threads and posts all over this site which has this information. Do a forum search. You can also Google it. I don't recall off the top of my head all the changes. There were some bug fixes and a few enhancements. Most notably the battery stats were fixed. Some feel they are getting poorer wifi with the update and some feel the wifi performance is better.

Just Got it ... play with the prime for 2 hours
No problem with wifi at all
I dont use gps so i dont know ill check later
great tablet !!!!

what's your serial number?install the app "gps test" and you can test your gps,mine is fine...

C2 .. Ill check later for gps

Return it.
jk. I'd hold off on unlocking it for now.

I returned my TP C2OK serial number and exchanged it at Best Buy and got one with the C3 serial number. I get better WiFi compared to the one I returned and this one shows GPS on the box. I haven't tested the GPS. This time I rooted and haven't updated to .21 because I was having battery drain much faster with .21 update. I am going to test out for a while on .15 before updating to.21
I installed root keeper so that I can still be rooted when I do update.

[Q] Does the Razorclaw root still work?

The Razorclaw rooting method has been successful for a few of the "early" units obtained, but curious if those getting theirs now with the official release are still able to root.
For those that attempt, please indicate if this was before or after the OTA ...
Thanks
Has anyone tried this yet with their new Prime? Curious to see if it still works after the OTA. I'll have mine tomorrow to try but wanted to know if anyone did it already.
After the OTA...and Nope.. No workee for me.

Thanks for trying. At least I know now to apply root first before OTA and see what happens, maybe root will be held, even though I doubt it.

it might hold. I know, with my Atrix4g, it holds root after several hard resets. My Ota doesn't work so not too sure. Even after hard reset ota wont work. Must have deleted something essential that ota checks for. Thats why I will wait for Ics b4 .
Tried it post OTA and didn't work for me either. Should have applied the root first but I was impatient.
I have learn my lesson before. I have put a hold on the ota so far but haven't try to root yet. Waiting on more concrete way that Razorclaw v1.0.1 will work and wont brick it.
Man, we are really the early adopters.
No root pre-OTA either.
hey just the asus transformer prime is my first tablet but i am just wondering what is the point of rooting?? I am at a lost for this.
If you guys could be so kind to give me a brief summary.

I did the OTA without thinking and feel retarded about it... The number one reason I'd root at this point is to remove apps that I'll never use...
What will ICS bring
I want to know what ICS is going to do for the browser on the Prime.Scrolling & page rendering on some pages on my xoom was horrific.My friend comes along with his dang ipad & loaded & scrolled through the same web pages with ease.

I think you need to be at build 8.8.3.23 in order to root. I can't get to the demos at gamestop but I think might have been the build of the one I rooted. I have been asking if anybody that goes to gamestop to stop and see what the build is on the demo, but no one has done it so far.
It's a negative for me also. throws up an error: 256

I thought all gamestops had to send their demo units back to Asus in early December. The tablet store that I got my prime from no longer had it for some reason when I checked in mid December.
By the way, I tried to root my prime out of the box with Razorclaw, and it gave me an error. I doubt any of the gamestop models are rootable because they probably applied the fix when adding the games. I'm guessing that the only models that are rootable are the ones that were in the very first production batch that didn't have wifi issues and passed right through QA.

I rooted a gamestop demo the day it came into the store. I think i even saw it on the display when I went to pick mine up. If my schedule isn't hectic tomorrow, I'll probably go back there and check the build and see if the root is still on there. Was wondering if there was anything I can take from it (any folders/files/partitions) that would help get the root back on ours.

See my "Loud Vibrator" thread, lol

should i update from asus ota?

Just got the prime and it's prompting me to update the firmware ota. Not sure if i should cuz i dont want to lose any ability to root later on. This update might patch any exploit.
What do you think?
For those who updated, did you notice any difference?
Android browser is rather sluggish and force close on me several times already.
If you ever want to root don't do it

If you have some problems (WiFi, GPS) I would just do it. The root method for the TF101 isn't working with or without update anyway.
Wrong I got root access on my 32GB champagne from newegg until I updated
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk
Id say yes and update. people here posting not being able to root before and after Ota. Update helps your device even run better. add far as force close goes, more than likely from an app you installed thats not really compatible yet with prime or honeycomb version. tons of apps still needed to be updated from developers side.

Really? I have read much people who couldn't root it with that method. With or without update.
Asus doesn't care about us rooting the device(they are not apple), I am sure they didn't try to block it on purpose. There will be a way to root sooner or later.
And even if I am wrong and there won't be a way to root you are going to want to update to ICS either way so you might as well update now while your at it.
They have changed the APK. The APK is an AES-128 private key that can only be read by the AES engine on the motherboard.
I don't think they did that on accident, it's pretty obvious to me it was done precisely to block the razorclaw root (which uses a leaked APK).
note: braifart led me to type APK when I meant SBK ...

I see your point, but on the other hand the original way of installing an apk was a huge security flaw as well so they pretty much had to change it.
I just started my research on the last transformer and noticed asus really is trying to block us from root for some reason. I came from a xoom and a tab 10.1 which both got rooted right away.
I am wondering why asus cares so much.
I wouldnt care all that much about root until ICS is out^^ Lots of stuff is going to change anyway.

Razorclaw worked for me and I'm rooted. Tested and confirmed with Adfree and Titanium Backup.
I'm not touching the update until we get some devs on here who can keep root permanently.

Why Can't ASUS Just Gives Us Back the .11 Firmware?

I rarely start new threads here on XDA, but I thought this topic was deserving of having its own thread.
Many of us who had perfectly working Primes have had our units seriously screwed up by ASUS' .13 firmware update. Whether it's the sleep of death, ridiculous battery drain, or both, many of our tablets have went from working great to being borderline useless. It's as if many of our Primes were sacrificed to fix a few other Primes that had freezing problems that we never had.
With that said, I don't see why we should have to wait for weeks while Asus works on a fix for their last "fix" that caused these problems in the first place, when there is a perfectly good firmware already written that works great for most users. Why can't ASUS just give us the option to go back to the .11 firmware while they continue working on newer firmware? Why is this so hard? Am I missing something?

I could be wrong, but as far as I can see, various firmware versions are available for download from the Asus website - at least, they are from the UK website (which includes US-centric firmware): http://uk.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_Prime_TF201/#download

Yup, the global Asus web site has them too. There are other resources other than just XDA Developers, you know! ;-)

Yes, but manual update will not allow you to downgrade firmware to an earlier version...
Crap! I'm in the same boat.
I would love to revert back to .11
Battery drain is just too much to ignore.
Revert Firmware
As much as I hate the battery drain at this point the Reboots and Sleep of Death ARE KILLING ME.
.11 had a Perfectly working Prime. WIFI, BT everything great (well GPS didn't work but expected that..) No reboots etc.. Loved my prime... Update to .13 Firmware and Have the sleep of death, random reboots... going on 10+ reboots in 10 hours since updating this morning...
This sucks.
Please Please PLEASE give me a way to revert to .11
Be patient and the roms will come...

To be honest at this point I just wish they would give us our money back this product is a bust too many quality control issues.
the only way you'll get your money back is if you bought it from asus directly, but if you bought it at a retail store, you have to go back to a retail store.
however, im sure you know you can send it to rma and you'll get back it back fixed in a few weeks. sorry
In theory if someone could figure out where misc_version was stored then maybe someone with more brains than me could write a script to change this to a lower version allowing downgrade.
I may be barking up the wrong tree of course.
I had issues after an earlier firmware upgrade and a factory reset fixed it. I suggest trying that before investigating returns, downgrades or RMA's.

This was the last straw for me. I'm stuck with the Prime, but I will ABSOLUTELY NEVER BUY ANOTHER ASUS PRODUCT EVER AGAIN. They're an awful, awful company.
Edit: Also, it's ridiculous to be expected to do a full reset after every OTA update, especially when Asus releases one every other week to try and fix problems they created with the previous OTA update.

Yep, I have said it a few times already in other threads, give us back our . 11
I would just be patient for a few days... wait for some unofficially, official news on the manufacturer's end, and we'll hopefully receive another update that could resolve the newly presented issues.

it was tweaked to account for processor clock differences in the Primes experiencing ICS lockup issue unless they allow us to somehow roll back to 1.11 this isn't happening anytime soon.
Im with the thought of the factory reset and installing apps one at a time. Im updated to the latest nd havent had any issues save the youtube thing that started before the update. Ive had apps crash to home screen and either ditched them or reinstalled. No battery problems here. What I noted after the update was fewer app crashes, better (not stronger) wifi preformance and the noise line that was popping through the screen every now and then hasnt happened since. Im thinking a great deal of issues are apps that are not optomized with ICS.

Ah. Fair point.
When I took my TF201 to the Asus service centre here in Hong Kong (yes they are Asus, not a contractor) I asked if they could roll me back to Honeycomb. Their answer was cannot. Only at the factory!
They are keeping the bootloader secure.
Is .13 so bad? Some of us in eu with constant reboots can't wait.

One GOOD thing about a locked bootloader...

So many people complaining about locked bootloader and how it basically sucks, i have a counter to that, be it ever so small.

You can track your tablet with the serial, meaning that no matter if they wipe it, if they reinstall it, or if they reset it, it should still show up! I just found this out a few days ago and figured i'd share. Gives me a little peace of mind when i take this thing to school if it gets lost or stolen i can still find it again.
Feel free to discuss but please no flaming. Lets keep it civil

I find those tracker apps to be convenient but resource heavy. I usually just choose to remove as much of that bloat as I can and take the risk. But then again I never set my devices down for very long.

Yeah, good point. It works for me though and doesn't hog too many resources. At least it is opt in though. The tracking software that Asus put on the prime is neither opt in nor opt out unless you consider unlocking your boot loader and voiding your warranty opt out

So, it's either keep within the locked environment and deal with Asus's idea of timely updates (hint, they're not) or nuke the warranty and get a vastly better experience with AOKP, EOS or Virtuous.
Not a hard decision at this time sadly.

Agreed! I found the OTAs caused more problems than they solved. By the time I was running .21 my prime was practically unusable given the browser freezes and crashes. It lasted about 2 days before I unlocked. Unlocking and getting rid of stock was the best decision that I made in regards to this thing.

I wonder how they track the device when it comes online. Is the stock firmware running CarrierIQ or some other form of privacy-concerning tracking software? This might finally drive me to install CM9.

Lol, I have yet to get this thing to actually work. I just use Prey or whatever it's called, doesn't actively start running until you tell it to unless I'm mistaken.
Wait, I have an unlocked bootloader on my Prime, and the device tracker was able to locate it, once I connected it to WiFi network. Even the remote ring worked. (Message and contacts lookup says that it only works on 3G models). I did not test the remote wipe or lock for obvious reasons.
I'm running rooted stock .21 ROM.
I use gotya too .... takes a pic of the person unlocking the screen and emails me the pic along with their location ..... but i guess there are pros and cons for locked and unlocked bootloaders ...... i had my prime for a day did the .21 update then decided to root.... man was that a lot of work but it was worth it in my opinion

Of course the location software worked: you are using an ASUS rom that comes with the tracking software thoughtfully included . It has nothing to do with whether you are unlocked or not. I am running a non-ASUS rom - the tracking website doesn't work with my prime.

Thats my point... the thread title says "One good thing about a locked bootloader". The device tracker is not disabled by just unlocking the boot loader. Flashing the rom to a custom rom would. (Granted, the most likely reason for unlocking the bootloader would be for flashing to a custom rom.)

Wow, yeah, that is a good r...er, no, the locked bootloader continues to suck. Oh, and you better pray the person steals your GPS dongle and uses it if you want a location
Just change title of thread from "locked bootloader" to "stock firmware w/ locked bootloader".
You know, I do have a Windows Home Server, is there a version of this I can use from home without a complicated setup?
Actually, my device was located within a fairly small area using just WiFi locations. Not small enough to nab anyone who had my Prime, but at lease it would tell me its still in the neighborhood. Besides, GPS would not work indoors anyway, even with the dongle.

I'm still amazed anyone can use it :/ I just get some "command failed" error every time I try to add my Prime's serial number to the Device Tracker. Fails every time, lower case, upper case, even started swapping 0's and O's even though I know the correct placement.
I've pretty much given up on anything with ASUS being quite right, and definitely don't expect much of whoever upkeeps their website and services. I also just submitted an RMA early this week and have not heard a word from anyone lol, I can only assume this will be fun.

Yep...same thing happened to me, until I realized I had a leading empty space after the serial number (I cut an pasted my SN and it added a trailing space).

[Q] Flickering/freezing of 3D games/apps?

Hi,
I'm sorry if this problem is already solved. But with my English I don't understand all those screen flickering/tearing issues (in the way that I can't imagine how these problems probably look like).
I took a video of the problem:
This happens frequently not only in Shadowgun, but also in Cogs, GTAIII or Google Earth with 3D buildings.
Is there any solution or is this behaviour unusual and I should send the tablet back to Asus?
Thank you.
I haven't seen that problem with Shadowgun, Max Payne, or Google Earth. Unfortunately, I think there's a hardware problem with a tablet. Try a full factory reset, and if the problem shows up again, you'll need to RMA it.

my prime and also my friend's prime have that problem, just reboot it, i dont know why on some application make that flickering, otherwise you can limit to 1 the number of application in background, seems limit the problem.
i have installed androwook and now i have very very rarely flickering, i don't think it's an hardware problem....

It means you need some risks to do. ROOT and UNLOCK your device. Or not even unlock, just root, then over lock it. Hope you're familiar with it. Atm, im using the latest Androwook Rom. Super stable. Even when im in POwer saving mode, i still can play Nova 3 without a problem...

I have this problem always!!! Every day! I think I will unlock and install COSTOM ROM if it will fix! When I have this problem I only reset tablet
Thank you guys.
As I see it, there isn't any solution (apart from unlocking).
At least the restart helps.
The tip with "only 1 app in background" didn't change a thing, sadly.
It's interesting that it doesn't happen in custom roms... maybe it's worth a try to ask some developers what they've changed.
EDIT: I stand corrected, the "only 1 app in background" trick is working, after few initial glitches I was able to play Shadowgun for an hour... then I got bored, so it probably is a good way to solve the problem.

I have this problem always!!! Every day! I think I will unlock and install COSTOM ROM if it will fix! When I have this problem I only reset tablet

Unlocking the device is really worth a shot... in my case i never really regret it... and ROMS developer updates every now and then.
This might be a ROM problem too. I've had this issue on AOKP, but haven't seen it yet on CM9/stock.

Okay so I been doing some fiddling and have noticed if I go back to stock using the wolf method my tablet works fine, as soon as I root this is when games start to freak out.
So i used voodoo OTA and temp disable root and no more game problems. if i enable root games freak out again.
Now the question is is there some dodgy app trying to gain root or is it superuser?. i do have a few apps that don't come from the market
You are right, temp unroot solved my problems, too.
Well, most of the time I don't need root, so this is great solution for me. Thanks
done some more fiddling and removed all my sideloaded Apps and the one that seems to have made the biggest difference is an old patchef version of root explorer I have left temp root off and uninstalled root explorer and no more problems....fingers crossed.
