Asus = bad device...... - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

everyday new user with new bricked device....!
I'm sure this is Asus s trap ... for still our money
How can wipe data erase bootloader....!
Where is our dev.... To break asus SBK

I don't understand a word you just said.
Do you work for Asus?

mine is working just fine now after the latest update
there is a issue i see with your post
if u choose to unlock it
and install a rom then bricked it. its not asu's fault and has nothing to do with them
or the quality of the item.. you always run the risk of brick if u choose to install anything other than the stock rom..

I laughed at this because Asus does have a track record for misspellings and strange grammar.

The TF300 is a good device.
I had one TF101 before, which was very good device, I can say that the little error from Asus is about the TF201 "Prime".
But the TF pad are always very functional, without problems for the most of time
My Asus TF are always unlocked, always rooted, no bricked.
The problem that you want always more. More what ?
Functionalities, Overcloked, undervolt...etc
Don't forget that these devices have some limits.
And then certain users don't respect, or don't give attention to the instructions given by devs.
That's why that they have a brick instead of a TF pad:crying:

Unlock Device Tool, anyone else getting impatient?

I had the loose screen problem with my 1st TF700. Got a replacement, but then I couldn't unlock it..
It has been allmost a month now, and it still persists.
Any of you know how long people waited the first time this occured?
Is this just because Asus is too lazy to update the program with the newer product serials?
Regards,
I just replaced my first TF700 with a new one and I didn't have any issues unlocking the new one, which is a C7 serial number.
What does your serial number start with? just curious if it really has to do with the newer/older serial number or not...

Hmm, wierd..
My S/N starts with C70K. Don't know if that's the new or old
I'm getting that same message too.. I wonder if emailing them would help
I had a Prime. Unlocked it. It had a screen issue. Got it repaired. Couldn't unlock again. Many, many folks (maybe the majority) with Primes who were repaired weren't ever able to unlock. Asus doesn't warrant the unlock tool or support it. Their attitude is, if it works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't.
Tien was very apologetic to me but not helpful at all.
What the.. So that means I need to get a 2nd replacement just to get unlocked?
That's just sad..
I'll try to send an email, and see what they have to say about this.
What a scam by Asus - release stock firmware that sucks and then void all warranties when you unlock in order to get a properly working tablet!
If the damn stock firmware worked correctly to begin with, we wouldn't have to unlock the bootloader in order to install a custom ROM!
Sorry - moment of frustration there!

Is it impossible to create or develop an unlocking tool for the tf700?

I always install a custom ROM no matter how good the stock is. Even if the stock rom is PERFECT, I will still install a custom rom.

Someone posted that they had the same problem and complained loudly enough that their complaint was "elevated" to the next level, and then mysteriously, they were able to unlock.

Got a reply from ASUS today:

Why am I not able to unlock the bootloader of my device with the Unlock
Device Tool?
[ASUS]
Unlocking your eee-pad will cause side effects. It might make your eee-pad
unstabile, and it voids the warranty.
Therefore, we do not recommend to unlock the bootloader of your eee-pad.
But what is happening when you try to unlock the bootloader, any error
messages or so?

[ME]
I'm aware of that. But I rather want a device with a custom ROM I can use
normally before jellybean arrives, 'cause currently the stock ROM is very
dissapointing..
I attached an image showing the error I get.
Thanks for the reply!

Hi again
As long as you use the right unlock tool for this model, it should work.
Have you tried to first take a factory reset of the unit, before performing the unlock tool?

True that.
I didn't try the step with factory reset before unlocking again, 'cause I'm heading to the shop where I bought it to get it replaced..
2nd pad with loose screen, clicking sound, and this one also had light bleed.
Btw, have any of you noticed the .txt-file in the internal storage called "Unlock Time" or something? I opened the file, and it was written the date and time of my last unsuccessful unlocking-attempt Is this file created only if the unlocking fails?

No, i had that file after i successfully unlocked my device.
Bump. I'm getting a slightly different error message: "Failed to unlock your device. Please try again later." I tried for about a month with the last one I had, finally exchanged it a few days ago, and the new one is giving me the same message. The last one was in the C7 series, this one is C8.
Did anyone have any luck dealing with support?

Hi, Im lost in these topics about this problem. I got Asus TF700T and I want to root. But when I tried to Unlock this tablet I got this message:

The error indicated that your device is not registered with Asus server or there's problem with Asus server. Many ppl have this issue and the only way is to wait and try again on another day. Sometimes it takes days, weeks, some...never!! Asus is no longer support this and they transfered this process to third party, so we're at the end of the rope.

Rooting has nothing to do with unlocking. You still can root your device, but without unlocking you will not able to flash recovery in order to flash custom rom/kernel.

ASUS CASEID=RPTM20121129101715-271
Hi David,
Thank you for reaching out. Last I heard, the unlocking problem was due to an issue with the servers over at HQ. Since then, I was informed that they (HQ) would take over handling it. I'm sad to say, that I have not heard anything from them since and I am probably in the same situation as you guys. The best I can recommend is to send it in for RMA since it is believed to be an issues with the MB not being able to communicate with the servers.

Is that answer your question?

No, but you can downgrade to ICS, root it with debugfs, use OTA RootKeeper, and upgrade to JB again using dlkpkgfiles saved from OTA upgrades (downloads are available in some thread on this forum). This procedure does not require unlocking and results in a rooted JB.

[Q] NVFlash questions

Has ASUS accidently blocked NVFlash through the JB update or was it purposely blocked in the JB 4.1.1 update?
Any word from ASUS about unblocking NVFlash in the future updates?
What are the odds of an explot in future updates?

It was never officially supported - we always had to use a hacked bootloader to get the blob, and a special tool to enable nvflash. With the JB update they added signature verification for bootloader updates - I don't know if they did it to block nvflash, but I doubt that it was the main reason.
I doubt it too.
Having said that, if I was Asus I wouldn't want users messing with NVflash either so it's no loss to them that you don't have it. If you use the device as they intended it you wouldn't need nvflash.

...or CROMI.
IMHO, they should give users who unlock their tablet their unique SBK. Since unlocking voids the warranty anyway, it would be only fair to give users full control over their device.

Agreed but they have never done this. I had the original TF101 which on the first few revisions had a working NVFlash. Thesame thing happened. The version I bought had a updated bootloader and the NVFlash was a thing of the past.
The same has happened on the prime and on the TF300 as well as the infinity.....
Asus have no reason to give it to us really. In fact they make money by us not having it from people who have to send in bricked devices. Which by all accounts they replace the mainboard on and don't use any flashing tools to recover although I suspect they could do it that way. Unless they reflash with a new serial???

Firmware Upgrade?

Hello, I am just wondering if any of you guys received a firmware upgrade recently.
I upgraded to this firmware which I believe was built early this month and it seems like it can't be rooted and my Google play keeps on crashing.
I did some searches and there seems to be no results regarding tf700 and this build. Anyone?

Looks like they are doing a new release for the TF700 which is not unexpected seeing as they just did one for the TF300 and ME301 as well. The same problem exists on those two devices. Asus have closed the root loophole motochopper has been using. As of now there is no known root method other than unlocking.
What waste of their time...instead of fixing things like the lag, on screen keyboard output and browser compatability they get all paranoid about someone fixing it for them...

When I get mine back, if it's fixed, I intend to do just that might be the only good way to get any use of my 700!

So, does anyone have a changelog for this or know if it's possible to keep root with Voodoo OTA and this update?
On the other hand, I may be sending my tablet to ASUS for repairs. If they update to this firmware, does factory reset revert to an older version I can root without unlocking?
Thanks!

I have sent mine in for digitizer repairs...so I'm sitting here worried about the same thing...I hope they don't flash my stuff..as of this moment, I don't think there is a way back.
Motorola did this to me with a Photon 4G phone right before they said they wouldn't be updating the OS beyond 2.3 they OTA'd my phone so I can't put a ROM on it. Guess what, no mo moto for this dude and now there won't be any more Asus either, pretty soon I won't be buying anything but I'll have a lot of money!

Thanks for the post, sdbags. :good: I've been struggling with Motochopper ever since I got the OTA a day ago. I thought I was doing something wrong, and have been ripping out my hair. You have saved an old man's sanity.
And I was soooo happy to see that I had gotten and OTA and my build was now 10.6.1.14.10, up from 10.6.1.14.8. Ah well.. just have to wait for another motochopper. Anyway, thanks again. :highfive:

Bad update
Hi to all,
I´ve just update my TF700T to the latest firmware JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801 but all goes wrong.
First, every app I´ve installed has been stopped, no one works. Every time that i want to launch an app, appears the message "sorry, the XXXX app has stopped...", the same with a lot of processes: "sorry, the process XXXX has stopped"
Second, I try to fixit rebooting the pad, but evrery time I reboot it, or shut off and then power on it, is the same: "android is updating/upgrading: optimizing nn applications of mm"
What should I do, i´m desperate my TF700T is unusable.
I´m root, not unlocked. I activate the survival mode in the SuperSu app to try to mantain the root.
Thank you very much in advanced.
update:
I made a cold reset, wipe data and nothing works. Now I can´t enter on the system, because when I need to configure my google account, i receive a message the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.
I also try made a RCK, but i got the android with the red triangle with the exclamation inside.

I got this error when mine upgrade to 10.6.1.14.10, too...
I managed to fix this by following "Alternative Firmware update Method" in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28374043&postcount=1
You may download 10.6.1.14.8 from Asus web site, downgrade the device, root it if you want to, and then apply OTA upgrade again.

Does the TF700 have to be registeredwith Asus in order to unlock the bootloader

Trying to unlock the bootloader on my new to me TF700, have both versions 7 & 8. I have the files in the Download folder on the tablet, not the SD card. Everytime I run either of the unlock files I get a "X App not installed" error. I then went to the Asus site and registered the TF700 and tried again getting the same message.

That still should not prevent you from installing the app. I'll post a link to v7 when I get home

You sir are a scholar and a gentleman, IT WORKED! ! !
Can't believe 2 BAD files from Asus, your file got me pass the [X App not installed]
but then the wifi at my work blocked the Asus servers, so I thethered off my phone
BUT then my google password didn't work, removing the google account fixed that.
My TF700 (that I bought thinking it was a TF701) is UNLOCKED.
Next step TWRP
THANK YOU AGAIN ! ! !
NP
UPDATE:
I've got TWRP on it and will flash 7.1.2 on it tonight, I took a look at your Rooting tutorial here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2688891
and will not be rooting my TF700, just flashing the ROM, SuperSU and GApps since flashing the ROM will root the tablet. Thanks again ! !
NP
Asus messed with that website so much, they may have mixed up some files
Glad I could help.
If you flash SuperSU, you have root. Just skip that step if you don't need root. The rom itself does not come with root build in.
I have been experimenting with flashing the rom without even gapps on the 700 in an effort to get the smoothest user experience possible (the 2G WiFi is becoming an issue..). I build an apk collection of my favorite apps on microSD and sideload those once the rom is flashed. Takes a bit of getting used to without Google framework, Play Store etc, but I like the result: Almost lag free tablet and pretty darn amazing battery life! Depending on how you use the tablet this may or may not be an option...
Thanks, got it up and running on KatKiss 7.1.2v27 now, using my TF201 dock, runs better, wifi is a little better, I don't get the wifi dropping out like the TF201 did and yeah the 2.4GHz is starting to be a problem compared to the 5GHz on my phone. Thanks again. Next stop a 701...

I thought I was the only one left who wanted to install a new ROM on a 5 year old tablet.... I am going for the CROMi resurrected, but got stuck on the bootloader unlocking. Got the network error problem, despite being on the web. Deleting google accounts did not work so gave up in disgust and shut the thing down.... Decided to log a call with ASUS so registered on their site providing my TF700T serial number, etc. Four or so hours later, I thought let's power my TF700T up again and try again. By low and behold, on the second try it unlocked! I don't know if this has anything to do with me registering my device but it certainly was strange that it worked. Next up installing the TWRP, hopefully that will go a bit smoother....

My problem was the file from Asus wasn't working, user: berndblb uploaded the correct file, I d/l'ed it and it worked the 1st time. Big THANKS. I'm looking for a 701 now.
