Can I use Revolver or Prime?
And can I root? If not root, when I would iy be possible to root?
And would it be easiere to root/change rom? Easy as change it like with Samsung Galaxy S2(with Odin or CWM)?
Wrong language in picture, change it.

Post in the right subforum for a beginning

What is the serial number on your TF? It will start with a B. Also - I'm confused - the post aside, why would this not belong in the Q/A subforum? I just want to be clear. Generally I get when posts don't belong somewhere, but isn't this usually where this sort of thing goes?

Well NOW it is, but it first was in the DEV section. thanks moderator

Ok, thanks for right section
But where to find serial number then?
I now it was on the box, and it started on B8 and something, but I don`t remember rest off if.
And I have trash the box
Again thanks

It's on the bottom near the opening for the power plug

if it's b8, then no. there's no root method for you atm. (and therefore, no custom roms also)
also, take it from me, do not lose your box/serial number, you'll need it when you want to RMA your device. i need to do the battery fix for my dock, but i no longer have it...so i'm a bit SOL
you can also register your device at asus, that might be a nicer alternative.
there's also a sticker somewhere in your device that should have the serial number.

[Q] Android 3.1 update?

Any word on Android 3.1? I see where it's out for Verizon Xooms and WiFi Xooms. Any reports on it? Any date for arrival on the Transformer?
Rumor is mid-June.
Not be rude, but there are several threads on this. Search?
And someone mentioned June but I don't remember their source.

Asus Germany on FB
ASUS Sweden posted this pic on their facebook.
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...79983071.51084.197433906957335&type=1&theater
http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hpho...55780620_197433906957335_647822_3781300_n.jpg
Doesn't say anything about when its going to be released though =/
Translating the facebook comments, 3.1 is coming, but they're not sure about Ice Cream Sandwich.
On another forum I was browsing, a Swedish Asus person said they've had 3.1 and are working on it.. But they said summertime release... If the translation was correct.
thisismynext says they've been promised "early June" by Asus (review itself says June, the Q&A specifies "early")
You know, given how Asus has pretty much crammed everything into the TF and made it work (microSD, full-size USB ports on the dock, SD card on the dock, etc.), as well as the Asus-specific apps (including DLNA support), I'm pretty confident that they'll get 3.1 out the door as quickly as humanly possible and ICS as well.
They seem very aggressive about making this stuff work, possibly because of their experience in making high-performance motherboards and such. It's probably in their DNA to get into the guts of things, which is one of the things I like about the company.

A picture worth a 1000 words, definately gonna keep it!
Ice Cream Sandwich will be OPEN SOURCE (Google confirmed this) so we'll definitely see it on Asus Transformer one way or another

Doubt about bootloader

Hello,
I'm interested in the Sensation, but i've readed the problem about the bootloader. My question is: do you think we will have an unlocked one? (official or not)
The custom recovery has saved me a lot of times
And how much time do you expect? (1 month, 1 year,2,never?) [i know it's a difficult question]
Did you even read the headlines of the other topics in here???

We could answer but unless we have an insider at HTC leaking info or are a developer it would all be purely speculation. You'd have a better chance at guessing how many grains of salt are in a shaker accurately than guessing when they will have it done.

Yes, but there are one saying that they have said that they will unlick it. Another saying the first one is a fake and another one with intructions about flashing one ROM using clockmodwork, but clockmodwirk uses a custom boot (i think). So i really didn't understand it.
It's more easy when you have been following the news for a while than just arrive
Sorry for the inconvenients
HTC have not made any statements on which current devices, if any, will get their bootloaders unlocked, so we don't know.

it won't work because we need some secure elements that we don't have. So no it will not work.there are more than enough thread about GWallet if you researched it you would have found your answer but no worries because you will find help on xda. just make sure to do research next time

For what it's worth, I've attempted to do research on it as well and hadn't had much luck at all.
I noticed while it's trying to initialize, tap the w in the top left corner and it opens the app.
Yes i got into app rite now. I can see payment cards. Reward cards and other stuff.

Can anyone help me identify this? [SOLVED: FAKE GALAXY S6]

Hi.
So i got an s6 from eBay.
It's not reacting to my touch. (it is, but with insane delay and barely!)
Couldn't figure this out.
Suddenly or occurred to me that something is fishy since home screen should not be organized like this (this is AFTER full reset!)
(why would twitter be inside a folder named Google?)
Also looks to be non-stock.
Here's a pic.
Can anyone tell me what am I dealing with here?
Does not seem to be running the usual Samsung rom.
Was this device tinkered with?
Also see video here:
https://vid.me/29AP
Thank you!

Is it a real S6?
Theres a thread in the General section about how to try and spot a fake S6.
that article mentions the fake ones are running droid 4.x, but thats not to say they haven't mucked with the version number on it.

Yes you got a copy of the galaxy s6. thats why its running so slow.
these fakers might as well build a phone with the effort they put into these!!!! it's insanely crafted!!! if software wasn't as ****ty - might have missed it!!

Since you bought off eBay. Did you pay via paypal?
Just lodge a claim against them for selling a fake item.
Make sure and screenshot the ebay listing as well
Yes I will definitely file a claim. Thank you.
Everyone else - BE WARNED!!!
My advice:
Turn off phone.
Press and hold power button + volume down button.

Is there away to change this?

My bootloader is not allowed to be unlocked, can it be changed?

No
Seems like you got robbed, whatever carrier sold you that phone decided that you have no right to control your device.
Never post your IMEI around.

I forgot to cover it before posting. But, yeah, that's Vodafone. They unlocked the device, told me this would change the bootloader allowed. But, no luck as of yet.
I was told I should try software repair via Xperia companion to see if it changes it.
Gonna try that at some point.

That will not change anything,
There is no way to change it unless you are in possession of the signed keys from sony.

If you are employed by Sony in their developer section and you work your way up to the top, then maybe you will have access to them. By that point you will know how to use them.
If you are not employed by Sony and work in their development section, then no, there is no way to get them.
Please be assured. If your bootloader is not allowed to be unlocked THERE IS NO WAY TO CHANGE THIS.
