RMA repair, APX issues after - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all, I am currently toying with my newly repaired TF101 (B50) and I can't seem to get APX to work. They replaced a couple parts, namely the bezel and the MAIN_BR.1G/T250/AS. If this is the main board, does this mean I likely have the newer SBK and no longer SBKv1?

That may be the case, but Wheelie (Nvflash for b70+ Sbkv2) works now you can give that a shot.

B60

Hi,
My brother just got transformer and his serial number starts with B60.
I got mine month ago and serial number starts with B90.
I wonder if there is any differences btween those two, and is he 'safe' to keep this B60?
Tnx
The b60 is probably better, because if you go tinkering with it (rooting/romming/flashing/deleting the system partition/nuclear apocalypse) you can always use NvFlash to restore it. The B90 cannot, but both are fine, and should have no other noticeable differences.
Yes, thinking to do same as on mine B90
Root, recovery, megatron, kernerls,...
So u think 60 is overall better to do those?
I also read somewhere that serials prior b70 overheat and have diff. Screen/color?
Tnx
well, looks like we will be returning this B60
We cannot dock it at all with original docking station.
My tablet will dock in b60 station, also new tablet will dock in my station,...
But b60 in b60 is no go!!?!? Totally strange.
Any other recommendation about serial #s choice, since i saw in store they have 5-6 in stock, so i might be able to choose.
Tnx

Strange, mine is B60 as well and it never have a single problem docking.. docking is all fine here..
i gave it one more try,.. cant dock at all,.. it wiggles to the left and right,.. looks like that middle part cant get aligned or something,...
regardless of this issue we have,.. is there anything else you dont like about b60 maybe? - because we might get another B60 as exchange too.
I own a B60 and have for a year not 1 problem the whole time apart from a little back light bleed NvFlash is a life saver to btw

I also have a B60 but cannot seem to get NVFlash to work. My TF101 recently crashed and went dark, refusing to boot up. I can access APX but it fails after "Creating Partition: GPT" and closes out. Are there variants of the B60? I seem to have a bricked TF101 and would love to restore it. Not trying to crash your thread...just hoping another B60 owner might have a fix. Thanks in advance.
Store has another b60, b70 and b90
What to exchange it for? LoL

You could try using Lilstevies OLiFE script that will erase all partitions down to nothing then re-create all the partitions and Nvflash a rom

Personally Nvflash has saved me 4-5 times but I do play round with the roms quite a bit
So it depends on the way you use it

Yes some early B70 are nvflash compatible. The sbk was changed sometimes mid July. Anything after the sbk changed does not work using nvflash
B60's dock just fine (mine does for sure!). You must have a bad unit.
probably bad unit, it has been returned
i should get another B60 in 10 15 minutes,.. will let u know
New B60 is perfect.
I even did first nvflash,(was curious) and worked like charm. As somebody mentioned it can be 'life saver'
Tnx

[Q]undocking

Hey guys when ever i take my tf300 out of it dock it either reloads the webpage or if im playing a game it sends me back to the home screen, is this normal and is there a way to stop it ????
something similar happens with mine - asus needs to address this. however I think that it may be fixed in an update - i'm stuck on .17

It has happened to me also, don't mind it though.

It's an unfortunate bug and happens with ALL transformers (Including my tf101). There's AFAIK no way to fix, and trust me I've looked Dx
It's extremely annoying to me when I'm riding in the car or on a bus (bumps and whatnot) and it disconnects from the dock constantly.
its not big problem its just annoying sometimes lol

Yes, happened also to me but it's only a little bug!
It seems HD apps handle this better, so I'm assuming for now that it's in the app's coding.
would mean that asus cant fix it its up to the devs???

Yep, per app devs, unless ASUS finds some sort of workaround.

Unlock tool suddenly worked today

OK - so this morning I got up, was having coffee, and thought 'well, let's try unlocking again', which has become a daily ritual with no success. Well to my astonishment, it suddently asked to verify my google account, and boom, I was unlocked. So I'm very curious to see if others have success and whether mine was a fluke or what. I had registered my serial number last week. I am rooted and had just reset my device last night (again) to factory default after trying out different tweaks in the build.prop. But I've reset my device and re-installed .26 update a dozen or so times since receiving it last week while messing around with things. Nothing different this morning or last night than yesterday on my end, so something updated or changed on Asus' side.
Hopefully others who wish to unlock will now have some success?
From the looks of it asus finally fixed the problem. I too was able to unlock after a week of tryinv

Yea OTA is working also

Not for me personally (I unlocked at what now feels like an age ago, although it's been only a few weeks), but for all the TF700-ers in here that had unlock (and OTA!) problems this would be a godsend! Let's keep our fingers crossed. And furthermore, let's try and deduce if registering the TF700 is a crucial step in letting ASUS know about your serial and update their 'sold units database'. If so, I'd recommend every no-go-ers to register immediately, especially when it enables OTAs...
I never registered with them and yet I can unlock as of today. So I dint think its that important to do. Unless bestbuy sent in my s/n for me.

Color me stupid but, is unlocking the same as rooting? If not, what is the difference?
I unlocked mine too as I tried the tool todayin the morning. hoping this will help to develop more good roms...testing Zeus' Rom now, seem to be quite fast and good. I'm curious whats possible in future roms..

Great to hear, i just got my tf700 like 2 hours ago and OTA works immediately...lets hope unlock works for me too!

They are not the same thing. Unlocking lets you install a custom recovery image, and then custom ROMs. Rooting just gives you root permissions inside of Android.

rooting installs super user and gives some apps more freedom. Unlocking allows you to install custom eons and an alternate recovery

Other people could confirm this ?
I can confirm the unlock now works.

That happened to me once when I spilled fanta all over my laptop's keyboard. Fortunately though I bought a replacement keyboard from ebay for about ten pounds, popped the old one off and new one on, and it worked again.
As for using the pad's kb with your laptop.. i see this as very unlikely as the only output from the keyboard is the propiretory asus dock connector, as it doesn't output keystrokes via usb, as this is like a straight-though OTG cable to connect to the pad.
I really hope that isn't a serious question.
i thought as much but it was worth a try

if you aint got anything nice to say shut up posts like this piss me off, were here to learn and to teach and to help, posts like do neither if you dont like the question shut up and move on
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2
It may not be an ideal solution, but gmote should allow you to use the tf300t keyboard with your laptop. You would need to have the tablet docked though, and both devices would need to be connected to the same network. Similar apps may allow bluetooth or USB connections, but that's just a guess.
cheersmate ill give that a go as its just a stop gap till i can get to currys lol

[Q] Notepad + keyboard

so last night i was riding in a car and needed to take some notes, popped open my tablet with the keyboard because it was a bumpy road and figured using my fingers on the screen would be hopeless to get the amount of information as quickly as it needed to get put down.. so i tried two different tablet apps i had installed (no internet at the time to find others) and both wouldn't let me use the keyboard to take notes... both wanted stylus/finger mode only... I also tried to use google drive but it wouldn't let me create anything new in offline mode.
any options here folks that one can think of? im not really interested in installing 1000+ notepad apps on the market to find one via brute testing..
thanks.
Supernote. It comes pre installed on the transformer TF300 and works quite well

coulda swore i couldn't get it to work with the keyboard...
ill try again tonight when im get home. maybe i was just frustrated in the car that it wouldn't work instantly so i couldn't find it
There is a keyboard option at the top. Perhaps it needs to be pressed first?
