Is there away to find out? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there away if I decided to buy the Transformer, that I can see the serial number? I mean when I go into Bestbuy, is the serial number right on the box? If so what should I look for? I want to be able to root my device, this is the only thing hold me back from buying one, and am kind of leaning towards the GTab because of the rooting ability.

Sure. The serial number is printed on the sides or the back (possibly both, can't remember). I think mine has it printed on the back but I vaguely remember seeing it on the sides too.
It's a rectangular white sticker with black writing all over it and barcodes. The serial number is in the format BXONNNNNNNNN... where the X is the month which I'm sure you already know by now. The ... means I was too lazy to actually count how many alphanumeric chars there are in the serial number string. But the front always starts with BXO.
Happy hunting!
Oh and starting B6O they use black tape to hold the box on either side instead of green tape which is B5O and below.
GTab is crap compared to the Transformer, don't settle for anything less than the best. Unless you're talking about the Galaxy Tab 10.1, I think you're talking about the ****ty Viewsonic G-Tab.

Sorry ya I meant the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Thanks for the information, I will try to go down to the Bestbuy and see if they will let me look at all their Transformer boxes before I buy one.

So I found some 16 and 32gbs with the serial numbers b70kas065xxx and b70kas064xxx are these rootable?

Last I heard they were not able to root using B7O. Apparently there's a team working on a way around it but you'll have to google for more info. They locked the bootloader since B7O.

[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.

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

Are all models rootable?

I live in Canada,picking up a Transformer and would like to root it. I'm scared I might pick on up and find out it's not rootable.
No. Depends on your model. Check the serial sticker on the tf near the bottom. From what I gather those starting with B70 and B80 can't be rooted. Do a search and find out why.
not quite right some b70 can be rooted but its about 50/50 mines a b70kas0224 and from what i have heard they switched the sku at about b70kas240
Is there a way to find out? Yeah researching on the internet isn't going to help.
As the other user stated SOME B70 models can be rooted but anything B80 or later cannot be rooted at this time.
The number doesnt refer to a version number but purely the date of manufacture (B70 = July, B80 = August) and half way through July the key was changed which made the existing root method redundant.
I dont think any of the developers who made the original root method have a newer model so they cannot do the same thing for it. If a developer comes along and purchases a newer model then a root method may be created but right now my first statement holds true.
Your only way to ensure you could get hold of an older model which can definitely be rooted (B60) would be to buy one from a store and ask to see the unit before purchasing it. You could then look at the bottom where the serial number is and check if it starts with B60. If it starts with B70 then its 50/50 whether its the rootable model or not and you couldnt make sure without the check method (via linux) in the development forum.

The number is just the serial number. If you're picking it up in person you can ask to look at the box. The serial number is on the box also since the store might not let you open the box to look at the tab itself. To be safe anything starting with B60 or older is rootable. Like already mentioned some B70 are rootable but it's 50/50.
The serial number shows B60/B70 etc? I thought it didn't :S

I live in Mississauga and yeah I know a Canada Computers, the problem is that I want to purchase it at Wal Mart because I can get 20% off plus it's $5 cheaper haha
Nice with the discounts!
I guess you have to leverage if 20% and $5 cheaper worth the rooting procedure at this given time (if B70s & B80s can be rooted at a later time)
I managed to secure a good deal:
$389.99 - EEE Pad Transformer 16GB TF101
$89.99 - Keyboard Dock
$5.99 - invisibleSHIELD screen protector
$0.00 - ASUS OEM Sleeve (combo pack with PAD transformer purchase)
$549 AFTER TAXES...
+++ I got a free Class 10, 32GB microSDHC card - birthday gift card used at BestBuy!!!
So, $549 for a 48GB EEE Pad!!!! (Still rocks compared to iPad 2 that I was considering ....)
How long do you expect a root for B80s? and same here,I was considering an iPad 2 aswell. Only think I like about the iPad 2 is it has more apps/better partnership with developers and it's responsive UI.
btw at CC,it's $399 for the 16,how'd you get it for $389?

There isn't an eta it could be a few days or it may never happen. Don't buy a new unit unless you will be happy whether its rootable or not as you may end up disapointed. If you need it to be rooted then make sure to get one from a shop and check the serial number first.

Behind the box, look under the serial, it should start with B50XX,B60XX or so...
From what I learned, only those models with those serial numbers are rootable...and Canada Computers seem to be carrying them.
^^^B40 also but I doubt there's any still around. Early B70 too but I wouldn't take a chance, its 50/50

[Q] On 2nd RMA from screen blobs, should I keep bothering AT&T/Samsung?

So, I RMAed my Skyrocket due to the dreaded AMOLED blobs that Samsung can't seem to get rid of. Mine were somewhat OK when I originally got the phone, but 7mos later they're quite noticeable in some spots. In addition, the screen has that vertical "brushed metal" look to it that's also a pain in the ass.
I got my RMA on Monday, and it had the same damn problem. To top it off, it had a horizontal line on it. However, it didn't have the "brushed metal" effect as bad as my original. Instead, it had what looked like little dust clouds on it.
Naturally, I was pissed. I called AT&T once more, got another RMA (priority shipping included for free!), and got it this morning. Now, it has more spots, a faint brushed metal effect, but no giant blobs or dust clouds. On a more interesting note, the DSLR picked this up as being amber and not green.
So, should I try rolling the RMA dice again, or just going with #3?
EDIT: Got replacement #3 today. It has the same problem, and it's worse than the others! I'm beginning to wonder if this is all pointless.
EDIT 2: Replacement #4 arrived. Same crap, different phone. Not only that, I learned that I have essentially maxed out my AT&T warranty after 4 RMAs. Gotta love that. Going to try Samsung in the morning.
EDIT 3: Replacement #5 has been sitting on my desk for 15 days and I just bothered looking at it. Same problem, getting it DOAed again.
I'm not even bothering with uploading a photo.
EDIT 4: Finally had time for Replacement #6. It doesn't look TOO bad, so I'm thinking that I'll probably go with it. Thoughts, anyone?
Seriously, has anyone gotten better results with these phones?
Keep trying I promise you won't get a perfect one but you can get one a wee better

Currently on the phone with AT&T setting up RMA 3. Apparently I've reached the limit on open RMAs, so the CSR is seeing what she can do about it.
LOL.
Got the 3rd replacement today. Lo and behold, it has the same problem! To top it off, it's worse than replacement 2! Calling AT&T again to get another.
It's an ongoing issue with the display. Remember the devices they are sending you are not new they are refurbished.
You can get a brand new SR and it will have blobs on it, just pick the best one and keep it.

Yea, I'm beginning to think the best thing to do is just that. Hopefully the next one will be at least OK.

The AMOLED screens have a defect, presumably due to the mass-production of the screens. They get darkened "blobs" at low ambient and backlight levels. They have a tendency to grow. Thus, I'm trying to find the best one I can.
In other news, I got replacement #4 today! It has the same problem. Not only that, 4 open RMAs seems to temporarily lock AT&T's warranty system, and now I have to interface directly with Samsung. Lovely.
God, I hate this kind of crap Samsung lets happen to their devices.
Just looked at Replacement #6. It seems to look OK, so I'll probably go with it.
Thoughts, anyone?

I had to RMA 2 of them, the third one started randomly rebooting itself during calls. I got a hold of warranty replacement and explained to them that this was the third one, and I was not happy, of course they offered to send me a replacement S2 Skyrocket, and I told them NO, I wanted something else. They of course couldn't / wouldn't do it.
They sent me on to a different version of customer service and explained to them everything that happened and I told them that I would not accept another one due to the failure rate. They offered me a new phone, told me I couldn't have an iPhone or Note, but any of their other phones was acceptable. I asked for a garnet red GS III. 24 hours later I had a brand new GS III sitting on my desk. I have not had ANY issues with the S III.
OH and side note, they let me keep the GS II Skyrocket instead of sending it back in. I sent it in to Samsung and they sent me a brand new one back, and so far not a single issue with it either, however it just sits on the desk at home waiting to be used. I decided to keep it as a back up in case the S III had an issue.
Lol I always wondered what the **** those were!

Not to [insert verb here], but for me, a decent case + screen protector only set me back $8. Not to mention that rooting the phone takes a couple clicks, while installing a recovery and unlocking the bootloader can be done through apps.
Edit: In otherwords, like how people below say, simple accessories and root are not really selling points. However you may have better luck selling the device.

I've done a couple deals here in the marketplace and I can tell you the phine being rooted means nothing. Most people here have no problem doing it themselves. Also, the case and screen protector help, but not enough. There is hope though your best bet would be to sell yours and use that money to buy one. They still sell for 400 and I'd imagine you could pick one up for close to that... when they get released that is.

[Q] CM10/custom kernel/unlock questions

I love CyanogenMod, but i've never spent any time messing around with kernels for any of my devices, I've left them all stock. What are the advantages to using a custom kernel with CM10? also, will i need to root to flash CM10, or am i safe just unlocking? and lastly, (this may be the wrong place to ask, but its worth a shot) Will CM10's ota updater work with TWRP?
sorry if any of that is noobish, i've flashed plenty of roms before (and even killed a captivate!) but i've never messed around with much more than that. Thanks!!
You can overclock with different kernel

More power i.e. more overclocking you give your device the more juice it uses! Hard to really put numbers on it as it all depends on what you do and how you use your device. But for certain it will drain your battery life more and may make your device warm.
I don't think its necessary as its a bloody quad core in it already with an extra core for simple tasks. Unless you are playing some totally intense game (which I don't do) you might need to do it.
Okay, sounds reasonable. I really want to put CM10 on it, but i dont want to lose the ability to get OTA updates if i decide to go back to stock :/

Yeah, I kinda struggled with the fact that I would void my warranty and not be able to get OTA updates too. I struggled with it for about 30 minutes, then flashed TWRP. lol The thing to remember is that most of these guys building the custom ROMs will add the updates when they get the chance. Really, the only thing you're going to miss out on is the warranty.
I'm running the Paranoid Android ROM which is a CM10 hybrid. I'm also running the Untermensch kernel which allows me to overclock up to 1.7GHz. I usually run it at 1.5 and am very pleased with the overall look and performance.

Is the difference between Gorrilla Glass and the TF300 enough to keep me worried about the warranty? I have faith that Cyanogenmod will stay updated long after Asus drops support, so all im really worried about now is the screen.

According to Asus, the tablet has hardened glass. I really don't know how that compares to Gorilla glass though. I've read where several people have dropped theirs and the glass didn't break. Still, I wouldn't push it. Lol
The Untermensch kernel for Paranoid Android is in the OP for the ROM. You will need to use the one in that thread because it has been modified to work with Paranoid Android.
There is also a kernel directory in the development section. It has a list of most of the kernels.
EDIT:
I just wanted to add that the keyboard works great with Paranoid Android. I just bought mine the other day and it really nice. There are a few of the custom ROMs in here that the dock/keyboard will not work properly with.

The keyboard not only extends the battery, it also has a USB port and full size sd card slot. The touchpad really comes in handy too. Oh don't let me forget about all the short-cuts on the keyboard. It has a back key (back screen), bluetooth, lock, volume, brightness, media player, wifi and quite a few others. It also comes in handy when you want to watch a movie. No prop needed.Just open it up and it sits there like a mini laptop with touch screen features!!! I'm very happy with it so far.
I really got a good deal on mine I think.
I went to Office depot and asked them if they would match the Wal-mart online price which was $119. I actually just threw the question out there with little hope of them accepting it. I told them that I was wanting a black one and asked if that's what they had. The manager said no, all he had was blue. I told him I would take it if he would match the price. To my surprise, the manager looked it up on the computer, said YES and I ended up walking out of Office Depot with a blue dock/keyboard for $119. They usually sell them for $149.

I agree. I seriously considered buying an N7 but decided to go with the TF300T 32 gb for quite a few reasons. The 10 inch screen, internal storage, micro sd card, dock, performance, development and a few others reasons. Right now I've got the $418 invested in the tab and dock plus a Sandisk 32gb class 10 card i caught on sale from the Best Buy website for $17 (great deal). I can honestly say that for what I've got invested, I'm very happy with the TF300T and accessories. If I had to do it all over again knowing what I know now, I would make the same choices.
The docks that Wal-mart had were out of stock the last time I checked. If they are carrying them for $119 when they restock, that would be a good deal. I lucked up when the manager at Office Depot matched the on-line price. Retailers usually won't do that for items on-line.

Really? I just Googled Walmart Asus tf300t dock. One of the links took me straight to the page with the dock for $119. As for others out there for less money, there are quite a few selling it for around $125.

must be a local thing, i just tried the same thing and the only one i found was $127 and out of stock. Found one on Newegg though, refurbished (which isnt a big deal for me, as long as it works) for $90

I love CyanogenMod, but i've never spent any time messing around with kernels for any of my devices, I've left them all stock. What are the advantages to using a custom kernel with CM10? also, will i need to root to flash CM10, or am i safe just unlocking? and lastly, (this may be the wrong place to ask, but its worth a shot) Will CM10's ota updater work with TWRP?
sorry if any of that is noobish, i've flashed plenty of roms before (and even killed a captivate!) but i've never messed around with much more than that. Thanks!!

UPDATE
UPDATE:
I just checked on the Walmart site and they've gone up to $127. I guess I got lucky when doing my search and seeing it at $119. The manager at Office Depot did a search on the Walmart site to make sure he was matching their price and saw the $119 price too. They must have changed it right after I bought mine.
Oh Yeeahh
MaGeNTa is still the best!
