[Q] Buying a transformer to take back to the uk

So after doing the exchange rate the transformer in the uk comes out at 620usd so as im in the usa until the end of may im going to get one here before i leave the usa
Few quick question that im hoping people can answer..
1, does the charger have the usual 110 to 240v sticker on there?
2, if i cant key the keyboard addon over here im guessing the uk version of the keyboard would be the same?
3, can anyone think of any other compatability issues?
Cheers
Mike

1. I will answer this when i get home if nobody else has at that point
2. I cant imagine that they would be different, it would make no sense for them to retool the machines to make different tabs for different markets. If you have the language set correctly i dont see why it wouldnt work just fine. Come to think of it, im not even sure they differentiate(sp?) between us and uk english
3. nope, especially if you root when the method becomes available.

There are a few differences between UK and US keyboards, most notably the inclusion of the £ symbol on UK keyboards. I would imagine that these differences would be taken into consideration on the Eee Pads keyboard.
Regards,
Dave

only real problem i see for you OP, is that they've already sold out in the US :/a

Ive got until the end of may so a bit of time to find one
If i dont find one then so be it!
Good point about the keyboard but ill live with that.

Sticker says 100~240v

Thanks thats very helpful

I checked with Asus Benelux earlier and dock and connection is generic so I can use a US-transformer in a dutch dock. I guess there's no reason why you couldn't with a uk-dock...

[Q] EEE Pad Queries

I've had and sold a Xoom within the last couple of weeks, OS is lovely and the tablet itself is reall nice but having got into the Kindle and Zinio Apps I found the Xoom just too darned heavy to hold as a "book".
Anyway I know the EEE Pad is lighter having played with them in store and the screen is lovely, I guess my only worry is the 16GB Memory built in v 32GB on the Xoom.
If I buy the Keyboard Dock which I likely will does that mean I can have say 32GB memory in the Micro SD Card slow on the EEE Pad and another card in the slot on the keyboard?
Also whats the story with USB Flash Drives / Portable hard drives, will these work via the USB slot on the Keyboard?

Yes to everything.
Also there's a 32 gb version on the eee pad as well

Been reading around the forums and read some posts on the B70 models, does the bootloader lock mean I can't root?
What would it prevent me from doing? Because I guess if I walk into a shop and buy one its going to be a B70

B70's are more like a gamble. some are using the old bootloader hence rootable. getting the B80's means its definately using the new bootloader so if you want to be able to use apps that require root its best to stay away
also being able to root means you can block ads. ush SSH tunnel install custom rom etc

I've had a Desire and Xoom before and used Titanium Backup specially when rooted.. is there anyway to know if a B70 is rootable from the serial number? Or would I need to buy and then try it?

There is a thread somewhere that posts where the sbk was changed by serial number. Sorry its buried in a dozen other threads about the same subject but I read it recently. If you find that post you could then look at the serial number and know if it had the new or old sbk before you bought it

My understanding is that B7O's with serial a serial number of B7OKAS17XXX and lower are rootable. serial numbers of B7OKAS18XXX and higher are not.

I just got done searching that info out. Thanks for beating me to it

Thanks guys, seems the units in the shop here are either with dock and unrootable or tablet only but rootable, would probably just buy one without the dock if it wasn't so expensive to add it later... Hmm

b90 TF

Hi Guys
I'm new to the TF forum, but I've had a good year of experience with android after getting my Captivate and doing all sorts of stuff in it.
I just got a B90 transformer, but it appears that anything over B70 can't root or do any modifications to it. That's not really an issue for me if the stock experience is good enough.
I'm guessing a B90 is quite new so I'm wondering if there are any other users with B90s have any issues with it? How is the experience like?
If anyone is wondering why did I get the B90 when I know I can't do anything with it. That's because it was on sale for 449 tablet + dock. I think that's a good price and I needed a tablet and knowing that Asus wouldn't cut the price of the TF with the release of the TF2. However, if the price does drop, I'll just bug my credit card company for price protection guarantee =)

I read that the number there is the month so yours was built in Sept. The problem rooting newer than B70 is they updated part of the bootloader back then apparently and the guys here haven't figured out how to crack it yet.

Am i correct in thinking that all TFs have all the same hardware regardless of the b50,60,etc?

you are correct, in BxO the x stands for the month of manufacture, however there is a little piece of code on the silicon that is the first piece of code to run that has changed somewhere in august also there are a set of e-fuses which have had a different key burned into them, this key change is what stumped the root to begin with, and the first piece of code that changed is what has tripped up nvflash once the key was revealed to us

Looking at this, they mentioned B70 and B80, but nothing about B90. I wonder if there's any changes between those units in that matter.

I read somewhere that the awesome devs had created a rooting method for b70+, and they were waiting to release it. I have a feeling if you hang tight, you'll get root eventually.
Personally, I required root to run cifs and tun modules in order to stream movies from my fileserver and the ability to VPN into my workplace. YMMV.
Good luck, and welcome to the TF family - it's an awesome device!

Would be interesting, if the B90 transformer has the same SBK like the newer B70's and the B80's.
I mean if it has "Sbk2" or if it has the new "Sbk3" which is also used at the transformer 3G and I think at the asus slider.
Maybe you can try the Sbk-detect from here :

That's mainly what I'm after. I use those on my Nook Color that's on CM7. The real question is why Android ships without those features anyway.

Newegg TF101 deal... what is the serial number?

Hi guys, my brother was looking for a tablet, and guess what I ended up suggesting he get?
Well in any case, he saw a deal on newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...m1043X499650Xfaa16997b4c0d9510c73e1ec5aba9518) but I am unable to tell what the serial number will be. It says the model is TF101-B1, but I don't know if that is the batch number or if that is actually the code for the 32gb one..
If anyone knows, please post here asap so I get reply to my brother! Thanks!

The B1 indicates a 32GB model. If your concern is rooting the device, with the new razorclaw app, the serial number doesn't matter, it works for B70+.

Ah, well, there was that, and also, I didn't want to recommend a model more likely to have hardware issues to my brother.. thanks!

At this point, you'll almost-certainly be fine. It's been so long since the Transformer first was released that I'd be extremely surprised if you got anything earlier than a B60. (B40s up are fine)

Yeah, just didn't wanna recommend something to my brother if it had hardware issues, mine is a b5 with slight speaker issues so I don't want him complaining to me.. Especially since I'm telling him to buy a transformer prime and give it to me instead.

[Q] Same root method for Memo Pad Smart 10?

Better thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153331
I know this is in the wrong section, but I couldn't find a section for the Memo Pad Smart 10 so I'm asking here as the TF300 seems to have almost identical specs.
First off, I only needed a light duty tablet, I have a GNoteII for my phone so I'm not in need of an expensive powerhouse of a tablet as I only wanted a larger screen for some traveling stuff and what not.
But I would like to be able to root and unlock the bootloader on my new tablet once I get it. But I wasn't sure if there was such a thing already in the works, where I could look for it if it is, or if I could somehow help out by providing data from the device when it arrives at my house tomorrow.
If any Dev's out there wanted info from me I'd be happy to help out as much as I can. I'm by no means capable of doing it myself, but I know how ADB works and such so I would be willing to help.
TIA.

Bump
I'm getting one later today, and I'm pretty curious about the rooting options as well
Hence the bump.

Haven't found any solution for it yet, if I knew how the process worked I would try to make it happen. But I'm totally out of my element in getting that done.

Hey guys, I'm still searching for the original OTG adapter, does anyone mind ti sell his, to me?

how to root the asus memo pad me301t
Hey I was on Toshiba forums and they have a root method. By using motocrunch not the bootloader aspect just the root you can gain root that way. The original link to the convo is http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...est-rooting-guide-me301t-android-4-1-1-a.html

It doesn't come with one or at least mine didn't just buy one from ebay I got one from there for less than $2
Oh and mine says there was another system update available yesterday but I'm reluctant to install it.I already got the 4.2.1 update does anyone know if the new update will remove root.

It probably will. Others have had luck restoring root using voodoo ota root keeper. I didn't.
But motochopper rooted me again after the 4.2.1 update.
I'll check for updates when I get home and let you know.

is anyone having any audio playback issues with their memo pad?
when streaming HD video from iPlayer or youtube etc, the audio is out of sync for me, which is really annoying!

Another thread has all the up to date in to on root and bootloader unlock for this device.
I'm going to close this one and link to the other here and in the OP.
