Just an FYI, I messaged ASUS on their FB page about the bootloader. They said that the unlocker is ready and they are just waiting for the final legal agreement that will be needed to proceed. Should be seeing it very soon....fingers crossed!
Im glad. But im still gunna wait a little. Probally untill some roms start showing up

Try FB for the source (ASUS North America).....that's where I would look. Roy's post was on Sat at 12:20am. That should help you out but I don't see where they replied back with the info. Did they PM you the info?
Yeah I can't find the post and Asus has about 40 facebook pages so ya 1 for each country

I will wait a week or two as well. I want to see if they can find a way around using the Asus bootloader unlocker. I hope we get a lot of developers working on the TFP. The more the merrier
I'm surprised they didn't release it earlier. It'll free them up of people making anymore warranty claims on bad hardware. That's what scares me a bit. I'll wait until ROMs show up first. So far, no hardware issues for me.

im interested in a way around it too. similar thing happened on epic 4g touch. unlocking the bootloader caused a counter to be set off and an ugly triangled appeared in the boot splash (proving unlocker was used). but after a while, they figured out how to do it without the phone recording it was unlocked. i want this for the prime, in case i ever have to send it in

thanks for s/s
@strechwookie - since they are using only a few SBKs for all Transformers I think the SBKs will soon be read from the tool so you can unlock without it.
Could be like the Atrix too, when unlocking it's bootloader you permantly burn a fuse... so while you may be able to "hide" the unlock on the boot screen by returning to stock, a savvy RMA tech could still tell if you had originally unlocked the bootloader.
Sent from my CM7 Atrix 4G
I rather think they are going the HTC way. This tool won't be some kind of *.exe you'll download but a webinterface.
You enter your serialnumber and it generates an unlock code based on the serial number.
This was ASUS will always know if you used their tool or not.
The only chance for us getting away with warranty is to write some kind of keygen which does the same as ASUS' tool.
If they are doing it right this won't be possible.
Of course someone could always try to hack the bootloader AlphaRevX style, but i guess not many would be brave & experienced enough to try that.
normally, and with every other device i have owned i have not hesitated to unlock bootloader and void warranty as i have been confident in its build quality, but with this, not so sure. I have already returned one for the reboot issue, an the current one i have has some kind of screen touch issue where when i touch the screen it creates a sort of watery thing under where i touch- only in one particular area of the screen, and there is a part under that which is too white... hard to explain , but long story longer, i dont trust Asus' build quality to void my warranty totally.
I still believe it should be like the nexus'- why should rooting automatically void ALL warranty? If they stuff up the screen, battery, chip etc how would me running a custom rom affect that (assuming it hasnt- eg. OC to extremes etc)...
so i will be RMAing my prime before unlocking and then i will think about it long and hard and hope for someone to come up with an unofficial way to unlock... plus Asus will probably screw us over like HTC did with their pseudo unlock...

Not really, its normally fairly easy to reverse a root and put it back to factory settings so they will never know.

Awesome! Thank you! Now I can genuinely be excited ^_^
I had my phone for a lil over a month . its was in perfect condition i had it in a case with a screen protector since i day i got it. then i lost it . i will admit i was a lil drunk when i lost it and for the life of me couldnt find it. So I reported it lost and my insurance replaced it. Well last night my girlfriend comes over and tell me look what i found in back of the couch. So now I have 2 Notes . I want to know it the Note I lost is still good will it work? can i sell it and not get introuble. I know what the right thing to do is. I just want to know if there are any other options.
Unlock the IME# and see if it'll take a different SIM card. If so, then just sell it as an unlocked note. Should bring you decent cash.
On second thought... don't. Um... it's rubbish, just mail it to me. I'll um... take... care... of it.
Unlock it and sell it.

Thanks for the tip. I'll do the same. Lol
you have seen the articles about the carriers getting together to track, lost, and stolen phones, right? The IME number is like a fingerprint. You use that one, or sell it, and they will find out, and probably find you. Be smart, and tell your insurance, or be stupid, and get nailed for fraud.
Sell it for a quick 500 have the phones lost or stolen will take any aim card trust. I i have connected phones I found with no problem just called at& the and told them I purchased on ebay and they got it going

That's paranoid. If they do find it, all they can do is track it to the person using it. Just sell it on craigslist at a random public meeting place and don't tell the buyer any personal info.

what exactly is "unlocked"?
thought you could throw any sim in the phone and it work
when you report lost/stolen they block imei #'s or something?

Unlocked means you can use any sim card. AT&T does not block the IMEI# for whatever reason. I was reading a article about [email protected] being investigated for activating phone that have been reported stolen. I have had phones that i bought for really cheap from people who where kinda shady and im sure they where stolen and t-mobile & AT&T hooked them up with no questions asked.

Hello fellow Transformers! Since my Prime went down because of a 40pin connector failure (actually more of a user failure lol), I now have no use for the GPS Dongle. I know I won't need it for my TF300, so I decided to just give it away to the less fortunate ones who were not able to get one from ASUS.
I've only really used the dongle 3 times and it worked great...giving me a lock in location time of less than 10 secs.
How to get it? Very easy. Send me a box of Chocolates (preferrably Ferrero Rocher) and inside the box include a prepaid shipping label and I will send it to you. Fair Deal? Lol.
Oh and don't forget to hit the THANKS button!
To anyone wondering what my location is? I'm in Southern California, Riverside/SD County to be exact.
MODS i don't know if can post this, but all i'm really trying to do is help the ones in need.

True! I have asked a question about ten times on the same subject but never got my answer. My question was for developers about adding Onskreen Cornerstone but never got one response. I also had a question the other day about adding support for an app called 2nd core to the Gingerbread kernel but never got a response. I see a lot of "Know It Alls" in our forums for the Note. Everyone starts complaining when people ask questions instead of answering. The worst is when people keep tellin others they are asking questions in the wrong place but still offer no help to people. Trust me there are lots of smartasses over here that know nothing at all but think they know everything, it cracks me up. The crazy part is they make threads about showing screenshots of your homescreen lol and quadrant scores lollol and get a lot of post about this meaningless **** but can't or won't answer a question. I could car less how peoples phone looks and I hope they realize how corny they are for wanting everyone to see their homescreen LOLOLOLOL. One day I made a post about a Note clone and because I told people to google "Note clone" they got mad as hell. Like its hard to search. They were mad that I didn't post links to pics and videos. It turns people off from contributing when people are dicks. One monkey ruines the show for everyone. I have also seen threads where people would respond to a question but the only thing they would talk about was the typo the OP made like they don't ****up too. IDIOTS! By the way I don't have mhl but maybe you could ask a friend that has a known working HDMI cable to let you barrow it and try it for an hour and if it messes ip then its probably the MHL adapter.
what rom are you running? I used my adapter that came with my infuse when i first got my note and was still running stock with no issues at all. Video was perfect and sound as well. This was running on a 56in hdtv.
i have not tested the adapter with any other roms that i can remember, it has been a while since i have needed it. Try a different hdmi cable as you said it may be your problem.

Yesterday when I tried to plug in my Streak to charge I noticed that the cable didn't seem to go in properly. After looking at the port it seems that a pin is bent.
Has anyone had any luck bending one back? Also, is there a schematic available that will tell me what pin does what?
Thanks.

Yeah, I did that bit. Thanks for being helpful.
Well, if you searched, you didn't search hard enough because this has been brought up before. However, it should be possible to bend the bent pin back into alignment with the rest of the pins. But you'll need a steady hand and a tool like a precision screwdriver to bend the pin with.
As for the schematic, I can't help you there.
Solution.
Hi,
Last year when my Streak's port broken I searched a lot about it. I remember was find a schematic but can't find it no again.
But there is good news for you and everyone who has the same problem.
You can buy a replacement Charging Port from ebay. It's been 1 year from my Streak's charging port broken. It was so expensive. But now, you can find about USD 3-5 from ebay.
Here is an search link from ebay about it.
I hoppe it's helpfull.
Oh.. Because of I've never send a post before I can't able to send link within the post. You can search on ebay as "streak charging connector"

And now you see why I posted.
Yet your main issue is a bent pin, not the pinout. Bent pins have been brought up on the forum before, thus you didn't search too hard. As for the pinout, no one has posted one, however posting one isn't necessary since the port is supposedly a standard interface (mini PDMI?). Something that you would have found had you searched harder, because it was discussed.
Attitudes like this are the reason why people see this community as a cesspool of elitist snobs. The only post that wasn't rude and condescending came from someone who hadn't posted before.
Yes, I searched. No I didn't see anything. So I posted. Get over it.
Anyway: I'm done with this thread. Later.

Well you may have searched but it wasn't here because as Stephen said its been tossed over several times. And I love the fact its seen that way.

I am wondering if the charging port on the dell streak 5 is compatible with the dell streak 7, I looked up the specs....all I could find is that both the 5 and the 7 use proprietary 30-pin interface/charging ports, and that the charging cable for the 2 units are the same, but I am somehow sure that there must be a reason ebay doesn't list the oem replacement part for both the 5 and the 7, but is it something that can be worked around? If this has already been addressed please forgive me....I've gone buggy trying to find the answer!!
