1) ICS was confirmed to Asus to come this month.
2) unwritten rule of development. Do not ask for ETAs. It'll get here when it gets here.
to add to the post above
3) it is a written rule to search before posting
4) there is a thread called 'Asus once again confirms ics for february' right here within eye sight of the 'new thread button'
5) that's funny right there
Sorry my bad;/
To add to the above: Any release date you're told, even by Asus themselves, is a work of total fiction. They've already claimed just about every date you can imagine, and the only consistent thing is that there will be another statement from Asus within a week, contradicting the previous one.
Today, it's Asus France, saying "not til the end of February".
I'd guess early-mid March is optimistic, late March is realistic.
Funny thing you made a thread about this, considering this is the only thing which has been discussed in this forum since new years, and even before that.
You'd think it would be easy to find existing news on this

I agree. Make sure to search the forum before making new threads.
It will come when it comes
I really wish that xda would force new members to physically type the sentence, " i will use the search function before posting a new thread" in order to activate their account. This would drastically cut down on the number 1 most violated rule.
Can you get to the recovery menu? vol down and power?
If so grab one of the updates from the asus download page pop it onto your microsd extract it so that you see /asus/update/filename
reboot to recovery and that should do it..... if it doesnt take the file from /asus/update rename it EP101_SDUPDATE.zip and try again.

This will get Asus to open up:
Everyone send a message via Twitter to @Asus stating "Is the TF101 ICS OTA still confirmed for Feb 14?"
You know, they said mid Feb so we can hold them to the 14th. This will get them to fess up and give is a revised date. It will also cause them to wonder if @Asus gave the public a Feb 14 date at some point, second guessing themselves. Lol.

Hi,
I'm sorry if this has been discussed before,
I remember seeing on the forum somewhere saying the current keyboard dock will be compatible with future Eeepads, is that true? can someone please find me the article where Asus made that statement? thank you very much.
yes they did confirm that the dock would work with future models and I don't know about a link and Asus wouldn't hevily advertise because that means the current one will be out of date soon
I hope they don't all end up being brown, although a mismatched dock and tablet seems to be worse than not having color choices at all

Never heard this, but now I will def put more of a emphasis on picking up the dock! Thanks for the info guys!

I'm sorry but whats your source for saying "they" confirmed it?
Here are some sites that report it though I can't find an official statement:
http://www.anandtech.com/Show/Index/4277?cPage=3&all=False&sort=0&page=9&slug=asus-eee-pad-transformer-review
http://asuseeepadtransformer.com/
i also saw that they said they'd be compatible, but i saw on another forum from an asus rep that they won't be... so i sold mine.
I just received my Asus Transformer from Best Buy, yesterday and noticed it has android 2.2 installed. I was expecting to have honey comb. It almost looks as though I have a test unit. How do I get this thing upgraded?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
That's not normal. You can force phone UI but that's not a feature. Is it open box? Previous owner may have fooled with it. If its really 2.2 out of box and its truley a dev unit you may be able to snag a quick buck online
Check version in settings and post.

Go to the dev section, your device could be really useful to the community. Sadly you'll have to return your transformer though.
There is a link in one of the sticky threads with other people that received a TF with Android 2.2 as well. Go read up on it.
edit: link! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078840
I got it directly from Best Buy as soon as stock was available last friday. I didn't even realize that it wasn't Honey Comb, being this is my first tablet. I did notice immediately that there were a bunch of Asus test applications in the app list. I had read that the Asus EEE Transformer Tablet was going to be receiving 3.1 at some point in the future and while I was in the update screen, I noticed it said 2.2 as the version. I took a picture last night and attempted to post it to these forums, but because I rarely post anything, it would not let me do it.
Since it truly is a DEV unit, I'm wondering how much I could possibly sell it for.
I'd also be willing to help out the dev community as much as I can, but I can't hold onto this thing for too long if I really cant get it out of Froyo...
Screenshots
Here is the screen shots... sorry about the quality, but I figured it was legible. I obviously added a bunch of apps, but you can see the test ones included in there as well...
Wow that's neat, go post on the thread above. See what they say. You can potentially contribute allot to the community.

I actually was going to post in that thread, but I do not have enough posts to post in a developer forum. It gives me an error everytime I attempt to do so. A link to this forum would be nice, if you could do that for me.
On second thought, looks like you don't have enough posts either. DOH!
I got one of these units too. Not really helpful for devs now there are dumps. apparently a whole batch at the factory got wrong firmware installed. I had to send mine back..
Sorry if this has been asked already but I don't have time to look right now and its terribly important that I get an answer. When will ICS source be released and will the devs be able to make roms from source? Anyone have an ETA on ICS roms? I've asked on IRC but they didn't seem to know and as xda is the site I thought maybe someone would have the answer.
Also.....has anyone heard what the next Android will be called? It will have to start with a J if they follow current naming. I think "Jelly Doughnut" would be neat and would bring it around to the old Doughnut release. Is there an ETA on this release? When can we expect devs to start making custom roms with this source?
I really am sorry if this has been asked already but the search function doesn't work on my tablet very well and I was confused by the results. Thank you in advance for your kind and thoughtful answers and remember that the 1st rule of XDA is to be respectful. Well its really the only rule that matters. So be kind to me please.
Lets all hit that thanks button in the developers thread to let them know how much we appreciate their hard work and if you can donate even $5 to the developer(s) it will go a long way in showing how much they mean to us.
BTW.....the next release after Jelly Doughnut would just have to be "Kiwi Shortcake" don't you think? Of course I read in another thread that Android is doomed because mobile flash is going away so maybe Ice Cream Sandwich will be the last release. Do you think Google would release all their work to the devs here at xda when Android dies so maybe someone here could continue to provide updates?
P.S. Sorry for the rambling but I am heavily medicated and unable to concentrate for more than 60 seconds which leads to me double posting and asking the same questions over and over as I tend to forget what I did 2 minutes ago.
P.S.S. One more question. When Google releases "Kiwi Shortcake" source do you think the devs will be able to root it and make custom roms. How about being able to overclock to 1 THrz?
THX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT: Couldn't remember if I asked about ICS rom ETAS but I did so just ignore this edit please
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
EDIT2: Sorry for the spelling and grammer mistakes but I am from the backwoods of Oklahoma and I didn't learn much when I failed 8th grade for the 20th time last year.
Android Police reported on sth suggesting the next is Jelly Bean. That was sometime before I went on vacation in August. I personally prefer the doughnuts but 1.6/Donut makes me think the bean is more likely.
AFAIK we get source when we get it, sometime after manufactures have had time to ship stuff. I also expect we will see more complicated ICS ROMs after ASUS OTA's ICS.

Thanks for quick and thoughtful response.
thebadfrog, I keep seeing you say that Android will die, despite many more people telling you that Android is not tied to flash... Are you maintaining that stance, or are you just trying to spread discord and sorrow here?
By the way, K is definitely for Kentucky Fried Chicken. Or Kumquats.
way to much sarcasm up in here
So Android isn't tied to flash? I'm so confused. I guess I will give up then

Flash is widely used but old html5 will replace it eventually languages programming and the i.t community in general is constantly evolving so flash wont be the end and nor will html5 for that matter.
There is never an end just a new begining

No, no, no. You have to wait. All the developers now should be working on this primary (and urgent) objective: porting windows8 to tf101.
We NEED win8. Don't ask me why someone buy an android tablet only to install windows on it, but we really need it.
Yes, you are right: android can't exist without flash.
How can a mobile phone / tablet / mp3 player exists and be popular without flash player? Someone tried to engraving an apple behind it, with the intent to distract people from the lack of flash, and sell it anyway; it was just luck.

I haven't used flash for a week yet somehow I believe my true Android experience would be less in the last week if I didn't have flash. Thanks to everyone trying desperately to explain flash to me and how it won't affect Android. I'm so sorry for having caused everyone confusion and I respectfully beg your forgiveness.
BTW. Do you thiink they will release "Kiwi Shortcake" source anytime soon. I'm looking forward to overclocking to 1THrz
OT but if anyone brings a version of Windows anywhere near my TF, using more than a VM -> I will crack off their funny fingers off.

Hi there,
A few months back (pre prime) people were quite active on getting nvflash to work for SBKv2 devices. Now lately I barely hear news. I'm quite curious: is this dead? or is work still being done?
I really would love to get ubuntu running as atm I feel android is quite limited as a tablet OS.
Wrong section, I'm afraid...

Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using xda premium
This thread with it's replies confuses me. Was this initially posted in Android Dev? That would make sense
Nevertheless, the question still remains. I haven't heard anything about SBKv2. I wonder if it's not a lack of effort, but rather just a difficult, difficult task. You would have to ask the guys over at androidroot.mobi really...
I would like also to know were is the sbkv2.
2 questions:
- how was the first sbk key found? from what I understand it is saved in the hardware someplace that it is not readable, so there is no way it can be extracted. maybe the first was leaked from and insider as Asus? or was just the default for the tegra?
- any chance asus will provide an unlock tool for the TF101 with the one they will release for the Transformer Prime?
It was leaked.
I think it might be time to petition Asus for the rights to our device. It worked for the TF201 owners. And honestly, its ridiculous to say we shouldn't be able to know the SBK (and I'm willing to void warranty for that)
Thanks for the replies and yeh it's sadly as I feared. I guess we need to start a petition about it.
And about the mispost, yeh... kinda was in doubt when posting. As well the question IS development related my humble apologies for the mistake
btw seeing I have a dock-drain on my transformer I mailed em.. also with the inquiry about the SBK let's see how they respond
Hi everyone!
I´m also curious about that same thing, and I would be happy to sign a petition =P.
yea, noone knows whats going on?

Just luck, he must have got an sbk1 device, there is no sbk2 nvflash yet.
Where I got mine, the demo unit was B50, while the one I got was BC0KAS, I had the option to get the demo unit but It was there since few months, and many many touched and played with it, which is not very good for me.
I recently had to send my Infinity to Asus twice for some warranty repair and on the last trip, they replaced the WiFi so now I can't get OTA updates or unlock the tablet. Can anyone tell me is there is someone specifically that I can contact to have this fixed? I tried the Asus-USA rep on this site and sent an email to [email protected] (which was posted on another thread as a possible source of help), but so far I haven't been able to get any help on this situation. I really wanted to unlock and give CROMI a try, but I can't until this gets fixed, if it ever gets fixed. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Call them directly. Don't take no for an answer. Tell them you know others have had it done. Ask to speak to a manager.

Regular tech support will not get you the results you want. They will just continue to issue an RMA but they can't fix the information stored on the servers and I don't think the service centers can either. The information they enter is correct on their end but for whatever reason it does not update the servers in Taiwan.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187777 Look through here and read what others have tried. Don't mention your desire to unlock the tablet. Good luck and as sbdags mentioned, don't give up.

I had seen that thread before and I was going to try that, but I can't even access the Asus Device Tracker site. I go to devicetracker.asus.com, sign in and then I see a "Page no found" error and am booted back to the login page. Anyways, I got another email from Tien and after some back and forth, he agreed to create a case for me so that when I call the support line, they'll be able to see that I'm not bull****ting them. Still, it's pretty ridiculous that we have to jump through all these hoops to get basic functionality. What do the non-nerds do? I'll let you all know what progress I make with this and I thank you for all your help so far.

Ask for a replacement. Someone in an other forum received 600€ after many calls. He said he will wait for the next infinity.
