Tf300 users please answer - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

HI!! I know the Asus Tf300 is fairly new, but has anyone with one of these tablets been able to root, unlock, and run all the roms that the TF200 (Transformer Prime) normally? I'm starting to jump overboard on the prime due to its wi-fi issues :/ I would greatly appreciate any input about this question!!

I've been looking for a way to root but haven't found one yet.

hey, do you have the TF300? Have you been able to unlock the tablet and use the roms in the Transformer Primes section? What software version are you running?

I've been trying to root using a variety of previous methods that worked on the other transformer pads but no dice yet. Hopefully someone will crack it soon.
I don't see other ROMs working on this without being ported. I can say the wifi on this tablet is great though.

dude, the only reason I want to get that thing over my Asus Transformer Prime (currently own and still have a 30 day warranty at Best Buy) is because of the Wi-fi. If I can't get good wi-fi on this new one I'm getting, Im going to have to jump ship for that one!! I just don't want to go throught the hassle of bugging Asus to unlock that tablet also, and allow that tablet to access NVFlash -__- that would be one HUGE headache :/

Rooted?
I'm assuming at this point you've figured how to root the TF300 correct? I'm rooted and running AOKP but I don't believe the PRIME mods and apps will work on this. PM if you stillhave questions.

[Q] TF201 Developer Interest

Hello fellow Prime enthusiasts
So I'm scheduled to receive my Prime today from UPS and I'm currently wondering about the android development that will go on for it.
I understand that the prime is still so new and I don't expect anything substantial yet since the prime is still hard to even get your hands on. Although I'm wondering if any developers have plans to work on the Prime? A quick reply would be great!
Thank you.
I want to but ive only did anything with Samsung phones...so if i ever get mines i will mess wit it

Help the Transformer Pad 300's Bootloader be unlocked!

Hello Prime users!
As you may or may not know we (The Asus Transformer Pad 300) are your younger brother of a tablet. Also as you may or may not know, older brothers (yourselves) do one of two things to younger brothers.
They either:
A: Beat them up, like you already do to us in the benchmarks
Or
B: Protect them and help them grow up.
Well we over in the Transformer Pad 300 forums are ready to do some growing up, we are ready to begin to root and ROM our tablet but there is a bully of sorts in our way. Our bootloader remains locked despite the almost a month of time going by since our release. We have created a petition on change.org to try and get Asus and/or Nvdia to unlock the Pad 300's bootloader, we have just passed 400 signers and it would be greatly appreciated if any ANY of you could go and sign it. If we were able to convince the manufacturer to unlock the boot loader than both of our communities could work together in harmony due to our super similar specs.
So please Prime users, please help the transformer pad, don't let it be locked up like a toddler forever. Help us grow up.
Thank you very much

You've got my sig. Asus would have gained so much cred in the Android community had they sold the 300 already unlocked. Although the Prime and I'm sure the 300 are awesome devices out of the box, I couldn't imagine not having the ability to flash ROMs and kernels, backup, etc, with my Prime.. that's why I signed. Good luck and I'm sure it'll happen eventually, it's just a matter of time.

Yes it has its own forum, but there are a lot more people who own the prime because the 300 has only been out for a month or so. More people = potentially more signs.

Asus now have a bootloader unlock tool (as per the Prime) in the download section of the TF300 product page (select Android as the OS, Utilities). TW, WW and US skus.

Yep, this went fast! I'm glad Asus continues to be one of the better manufacturers when it comes to device software support. Hope to see you Prime guys around! Cya!

[Q] TF201 ROMs on TF700

Since there doesn't appear to be a forum for the Infinity yet I figured I could ask this question here. I owned a Prime for 7 months but I never rooted it. I knew eventually I was going to sell it and didn't want to alter it. I just received my Infinity and I plan to root it and install a ROM sometime in the near future. I was wondering since the Prime and Infinity are pretty much identical will the same ROMs available for the Prime work with the Infinity.
Search harder.
And no.

Thanks.......I think. Anyway nothing would come up when I did searches for the Infinity forum. I did eventually find it with assistance from another member.

[Q] Where have all the ROM Devs and Asus updates gone?

Kinda wondering whether I should sell this tablet and replace it with something newer. Asus hasn't put out any new updates and the only good ROM dev is jumping ship.
Anyone know if we are going to continue to see updates or custom roms for this thing or is it time to move on already?
In Custom ROM land, IMHO often varies based on the developers. For example dev on my phone's ROM has slowed because the most active dev bought a new One X.
ASUS wise, expect to be first or third in line for updates for a while more.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah... I mean, I haven't compared this dev section to other tablets, but it seriously seems lacking. Everything is ASOP kang builds which all seem to have problems. I like the Wook ROM, but that dev is going to a different tablet. And ASUS hasn't released anything since .28. Pretty weak.
that's one of the primary reasons i'm so frustrated about my tf201. i mean seriously? GPS problems to the extent it's virtually non exiustent, Wifi isn't that good...and in europe/ germany in my case, you don't even got the option to bring it back to where you bought it to exchange it like the bestbuy trick alot of the folks here are using.
My Serial Number for getting the GPS-Dongle wasn't working until yesterday so officially the time to get a free dongle is over.seriously wtf asus...
I'm not sure about other devs but currently my computer is down (has been for a while) so the my prime is the only thing I have. Once I get a new computer I will continue working on things for the prime.

Awesome. Looking forward to some more Roms. Notice in other threads many people have the prime. Strange how there isn't more development for it.

.28 just came out on June 13th and you find it "Pretty weak" that there have been no updates since then? I'm curios what devices you have that get updated more often than the TFP? I'ts my experience that this device gets updated more frequently than pretty much anything out there. Anyway I doubt anyone wants to bother much with another 4.0.x update now with 4.1 just around the corner.
Why would you post this. We want more developers and people to buy the tablet but when they see all these posts about it having bad support and just people degrading it they won't buy it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
They were never here.
I don't think it's a matter of where have the dev's all gone, they were really given an opportunity to jump on the boat.
With all the hardware issues and locked bootloader I doubt many would get on board now.
I'm also sad to see that AndroWook has been discontinued.
I am hopeful that JB breath new life into the tablet though, fingers crossed.
edit: The fact that the community had to devise a method for using nvflash speaks volumes about how useless ASUS is.

WOW - This place is D-E-A-D

Title says it all. Guess it's time to look for a new device (Tegra 4???) then unlock and root my Prime. I still love my Prime, always have, always will.
It's not as loud as it used to be for sure.
Check out the TF300, TF700 forums too because a lot of stuff that applies to that also works on TF201.

Just a series of posts by folks that needlessly brick their TPs.

Like I said, I love my Prime. I'm just a little worried that the Dev's have abandoned it. I've rooted many devices in the past but it seems the Prime is very susceptible to bricking and I really don't want to do that. I’ve never bricked and of my devices and I don’t want to start with my $500 tablet. This is why I haven't tried to root yet. I hope we get 4.2 and an exploit can be found se we can root without unlocking. I guess I'll eventually unlock but I'd like to root first and I'm too am waiting on nvflash.:good:

Well, at the moment I use my Prime only for Netflix. After getting Nexus 4 I have not used Prime for couch surfing because it is so laggy for web browsing. Just checking for news about 4.2 update from time to time.
If I ever again buy a mobile device from Asus, it will be 10" Transformer Nexus.

I love my Prime! What's to be bitter about? It's the thinnest 10 inch tablet ever made. I don't have my wifi modem 7 miles away from my device and I don't mount a tablet as a GPS device in my car (why would anyone), so every thing is nice!

First things first, I dont believe you care if devs abandon the prime or not since you have already stated that you are unwilling to unlock your prime because you are afraid that you dont have the skill not to break it. What you want is for somebody to post an apk to root your prime with no effort to learn on your part. This is all fine, to each his own.
One place you wont find the primes devs is here complaining in the general section of this forum because nothing productive happens here. Over in the development section of this forum you will find devs hard at work porting 4.2, getting Ubuntu running, and porting paranoid android etc. I am glad this section of the forum is dying because it means most of the complainers and trolls have left for browner pastures.
Do yourself a favor, unlock your prime and go check out the cool new stuff for the prime over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1414
Dead? Au contraire, I visit the forums on a daily basis, I just don't feel the need to write pointless posts or start hopeless threads.
People like OP are why devs will abandon a device

Except it's virtually unusable without an unlock and custom kernel/ROM flash. And no, voiding our warranty by unlocking is not a viable workaround for crappy internals and poor Asus coding.
Otherwise, battery life is poor, wifi is awful beyond about a room away (and I have a top of the line $170 Asus RT-N66U router) to the point that I can't even use it to stream video to my TV in the bedroom (my galaxy S3 picks up wifi at 90% speed in the same place, vs the Asus at 10%), and GPS is non-functional (dongle doesn't count). Don't get me wrong, it is a workable device, but it's far from a good one. Thinness does not make up for it's very real shortcomings.

No. Devs abandon a device when people stop using it and the manufacturer stops supporting it. I doubt anyone actually gets butthurt because random internet posters are complaining. And the TF201 had a small user base to begin with.

And, just check out the developer area. There are at least two brand new ROM's there (Androwook 2.0 and the latest Energy) released even while this "dead" discussion was going on. These new ROMs bring the prime up the the very latest Android Version. Does not seem dead at all to me.

Perhaps you got a better device than some of us. In any case, I'm happy you've had good luck with yours, but many of us have significant issues with ours, especially the early adopters. Unfortunately, there is no fix for any of the issues I've described with mine.
Does anyone else around here feel that if they had the devices people are talking negatively about, you'd be just fine? Am I alone?
