Planning to root my transformer...any suggestions.

Well i just got this bad boy yesterday. Hardly able to put it down when I'm at home already.
Haven't gotten round to root yet. This weekend be the big event...lol.
So im hoping you guys can give me a few ideas as to the best roms and features available.
What rom do you guys use? Any favorites? And why? Too many questions I know.
Thanks in advance.

The answer you seek is right on the front page of XDA...
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/how-to-root-the-asus-transformer-xda-tv/

^^^^hmmmm. Well i was more curious as to what most folks were using as their daily driver rather than seeking advice as to how to root the device, but thanks anyway.
Still. If anyone can recommend any good mods or roms or themes etc it would be appreciated.

Check your serial number, if it's >B70 then it's not rootable. Yes they are working on it but it's been almost 2 months and nothing. Appears to be locked down in hardware and thus not by-passible via the usual tricks of the past. Most likely it's because of DRM if I had to guess.
If your serial is B70xxxxx check it anyway, some of the B70's may be rootable if they still have the older SBKv1 ROM (or whatever it is).
Mine's going back (B80 serial) - it's a dead duck.

I suggest you return it and get something else so you wont clog the forum with the same stupid questions that have been asked hundreds of times.

spoon feeding gets old after the 99th "GIB INFO PLOX" thread

Right...i just checked the serial number and it looks like I'm safe. Phew!
It says B50. So i can get on with my tinkering afterall. Thank God for that.
Would have been a bit silly to turn up again at best buy for the second time within the space of 3 days to return another tablet...lol.
Thanks for the comments you guys...very informative. Except for the troll that is.

Rule #1 of XDA:
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

Zeus Rom custom ringtones not working

For some reason my contacts ringtones have quit working and my phone ringtones plays for everyone. Does anyone have any idea what is going on with this and what the solution may be?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

Well, nevermind. I installed Ringo from the Market and it worked that way. I had tried setting the contact ringtones thru both the system contacts as well as GoContacts and neither worked. But this did. Weird.
Anyone understand this?

it is working quite well

I don't understand why you all feel the need to respond to a post that is a few days old...and one where he/she even figured it out on his own.
Your sarcastic remarks do nothing to help the situation. Either politely help the guy out, whether it be pointing him in the right direction or even answer his question in the process...or don't post at all.
Zeus is not my rom, but its under The Collective umbrella now, and we just don't run our show that way.

last i looked this was the XDA board and forum not
the collectives
did i go to the wrong website ? maybe there was a redirect and i didn't see it

Nun is right... but the only thing that irritates me is if you will look in general and [email protected], there are 7 Zeus threads created by people who don't feel like posting in the actual Zeus [email protected] thread. That's why I don't answer in these threads anymore, I have pointed and pointed people in the right direction to Zeus thread til I'm blue in the face. I think everyone should at least ask where it is, rather than start a multitude of threads... I can't be all over the place at one time, the reason I have a [email protected] thread, lol.... just stating the facts. But nun is right, the noob bashing needs to stop(me included) we are more adult than that..

No...not my boards. Just try to get the users of our roms on the same page as us. That is all. And if users of our roms...noob or otherwise...get treated poorly, just want them to know that its not our philosophy. We try not to put down users who need help, even when it comes to forum etiquette.
Not your style...fine. Just keep it out of our threads. Please and thanks.

Atrix 2 Q and A and general chat (IRC Channel)

Alright, this is quite dead, opening it up to any general talk. If you have question about what dev work is going on or any other stuff like that, feel free to stop by and talk to us. I and a few others are on all the time.
I have just created an IRC channel to be used for general questions and answers. Keep in mind I can not be around 24/7 and nor can anyone else, so you may not get a response right away or at all, but it should be much faster than the forums.
Feel free to just hop on and see what is going on in there.
What Is IRC and This Channel?
IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. It is a very old chat protocol, but us still used a lot. A channel on IRC is like a private room where anyone that joins it can chat. Because it is an instant messaging system, simple questions can be answered much quicker and easier than in the forums. Keep in mind it is not a replacement. many types of questions should still stay in the forums.
What Should This Be Used For, and What Should Stay In the Forum?
What should be asked here:
1. basic questions that will likely be easily answered
2. things you think have been posted before but cannot find, someone may know where they are
3. asking for opinions on a theme or other requests for people.
Examples:
1. "Where is the boot animation stored on the phone" - nice short answer of /system/media/bootanimation.zip
2. "has anyone seen that post about X"
3. "looking for a few people to test out a rom" PM me on XDA
What should not be asked here:
1. things that would be very relevant to other people
2. complicated problems that take a lot of explanation/ screenshots
3. complaints about lack of dev support or anything else
4. off topic disscussion- you can do that in some other room
How Do I Join This Chat Channel
Short Answer:
Use any IRC client and join #atrix2_qa on Freenode
Long Answer:
If you are not Familiar with IRC you have 2 choices to join in. The first is easier, but you will not be connected all the time, and I would recommend against it if you want to hang around
1. Webchat:
Go to http://webchat.freenode.net/ and choose a username and put #atrix2_qa for the channel, and of course fill out the captcha then hit connect. You can see who is connected on the right. if know one is on try again later. Use your xda username so people know who you are.
2. using a client:
Linux: you can use the built in chat with ubuntu. go to edit-accounts, then add one with the plus at the bottom choose IRC, freenode, and your nick (use your xda one so people know who you are). Then hit room-join and choose #atrix2_qa.
Windows: you can use pigeon I know plus may others. I can post a how to if needed, so let me know
Mac: I know there are clients, but I have never used them, so google it.
Please post any questions about how to use IRC in this thread.
Even if you don't have a question, come join and see what is being discussed. I don't mind general talk about our phone if it is quiet in the chat, so come hang out.

I will be on most of the evening, so you can com ask or say hi

Thanks for this! It will be very helpful to the community, and a great idea! :good:

Awesome idea I hope it catches on
I stopped in to check it out

XDA App

Anyone experiencing problems with xda?
For some reason my post are double posting and pages aren't loading properly. Just wondering if anyone else is having these issues?
Yes I did uninstall and reinstall the app and my connection is fine.

I have a problem with not being able to open notifications. When I receive a notification, I drop down the notification bar and tap the icon. XDA starts to open then hangs, never opens.

I'm not a dev either but think you might be able to unzip the APK on your computer, replace the icon.png, rezip. then replace apk to phone.

same problem since day 1. i don't know when the last update was but definitely not working for me. Search function is also non-existent.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Oh yea, the search is horrible. Doesn't even give you the option to search within the thread or for a thread in the section.
That's why there are double post. People search and can't find it, so they post it again and then we have members getting angry about not searching and double posting.
The search, searches the entire site. I don't have time to scroll through 100 threads to find the 1 for our phone.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

Yeah you should be able to search within a device's forum and also within a thread itself that way rom q&a's not stated in op's don't have to be reasked all the time.

Yeah, I have been wanting to ask a question about XDA's notifications, and search on the app was not helpful. I was concerned about making a new thread, then somebody getting down on me for making a duplicate thread.
I could already see the comments, "you should search before you post" "I will not help, because you are lazy" So it goes not getting the help, we request.

Not to mention names but it's the same few members who troll the forms and flame or report everything.
I honestly think that until the search engine for this app is fix that members who flaming for duplicate threads should be ban for a 12 hours. If you think about it, that flame is going to make the thread unless because it will just be a battle between the op and the flameer. Instead of helping out the op as a community or posting the link to the original thread.

some of us actually like using our xda app (search included). paid for it so most people expect it to work. personally, after realizing that the app's search is not working, i almost always try to log in and use xda and google search before asking here.
there is no need to be defensive or sarcastic here. if you feel the need to report then do as you wish but don't expect everyone to like what you are doing. some people are honestly just clueless regarding the search engine.

You're just a big child. You see a post you don't like and cry to your dad (insert name of favorite mod here) and get it shut down. Some new member started a thread and you reported AND flamed him/her. Instead of trying to be a tyrant you should be pointing new members in the right direction. And if someone's phone is not working, you should actually try to help before crying to the mods. You hold the exact same amount of power as any other member. Having more posts or thanks doesn't change the fact that nobody should have to take crap from someone on the same level as them.

And people come here for broken phone fixes because some members actually do help or point in the right direction. If someone's phone isn't working right for whatever reason, don't turn them away just because there's already some large thread on something remotely similar to their problem. Those types of threads don't get users as much help (especially if it's an urgent issue) as a single thread.
It's like if someone was lost on the way driving to Tampa and they asked you for help, and you told them they were noobs for not knowing every detail about the trip before they went on it. And you reported them to have their car towed because they didn't get help from a group talking about how to get to places that are kind of near Tampa.

J-tag box - how to use?

Anyone have knowledge to use J-tag box?
Sent from my E15i using Tapatalk 2

Are you asking this because of this thread you created?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1866602
So you will then take the info and copy it and re-post as your own?
I think that you should be careful with posting unnecessarily, but who cares about my opinion anyway, you probably know what you are doing. :laugh:
Please do not take it the wrong way, just a bit suspicious.
Anyway, I know how to use a specific JTAG BOX. You just need selective drivers and custom programs that are easily downloaded.
There are thousands of guides all around the web just google for them.
There is not much else to say. I think you need to be more specific with your question. Do you have problems connecting, using or just general "I am a newb with JTAG boxes and need a bit of help." I can help you if you have a problem yourself but you must be more specific.
Sorry if I come across as rude, it is not meant like that. Please hit thanks if you appreciate my effort.

Nah, I'm not going to copy it. If anyone posted it here I will ask him to post it. Don't think negative about a person

I have extensive knowledge on Jtagging, and quite a bit of experience doing so, but I don't think I can help you until I know more of your problem. Also, I have never Jtagged a phone before.
