Hi,
I ordered a Nexus 10 from the PlayStore yesterday and already got it today! I was really happy about that until i turned the Nexus on for the first time, because what i saw was this:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B5FonMNRR04ZYXFnOFFTTnpkNVk
(an overlay with hardware-debuginfo on the homescreen)
the rom didn´t go through the usual firsttimeboot welcome/login-screen and even configuring a googleaccount manually didn´t work. also there is no ota-update option and there are no google-apps installed (no gmail, store, chrome...)
Looks like i got my Nexus with a Debug-Rom installed:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B5FonMNRR04ZZWQ5YUgxX1JqNUk
(build-number: full_manta-userdebug 4.2)
I called the google tech-support, but all they offered me was to send in the device and wait for a new one. So now i´m waiting for the replacement device to arrive
Greetings
Tim

Doh! I hope that's a one off and they haven't let some plank upload the wrong image to them!
Sorry dude!
Yikes, Congrats on being one of the first to have it, but sucks that you can't really make use of it!
It sucks but how is the build quality, how do the materials feel and what du you think about the screen?
Did you try to find a way to get into the bootloader to factory reset?
Ordered mine yesterday and have yet to even get shipping confirmation or a tracking number yet...did you get this prior to yours showing up?

Unlock and flash the proper files from Google?
Why not just flash the official image onto it?

Aw, you should of possibly tried dumping the ROM and having some developer take a look at it, but it does suck you didn't get to enjoy your device. Hopefully your replacement works out though
Bad to hear about your device. Good to hear that Google is shipping these the day they are ordered (or so it seems).
Where are you approximately located and where did the tablet ship from?
Also what time zone are you and what time did you order it local time?

Is it possible to send the package from Play to another EU country?
On the debug screen, can you tell us what the black level is like and if there is any backlight bleed?
I wouldve tried flashing the factory image to that thing You still can try...
The guy just wants an N10 that works. If he starts sodding about with it he would invalidate his guarantee
He needs to send it back.

It wouldn't invalidate anything. All he needs to do is unlock bootloader, flash factory image which can be downloaded from the official Google servers then relock bootloader. Could have a fully working tablet in less than 15 mins.

Well,
Had my prime 3 days, OTA update to ICA completed, now stuck at black screen after ASUS boot, Tried the battery drain, tried manual update via sdcard still no luck,
Phoned Amazon explained what had happened, RMA sent to return for full refund as they don't have any in stock.
Thought I was going to struggle to get another prime, but got one being delivered from Misco tomorrow.
Hopefully this time it will all go well, or do you think I should stay away from ISC update ??
Cheers
I think it depends on the prime. I was lucky. I have had mine for a week, updated to the latest OTA. Not one problem outside of the sometimes laggy browser. Make sure you charge it or have it plugged in before you update. Also I have heard it forces you to update eventually.

I have zero scientific data to back this up, but the first thing I did when I unboxed my prime was the latest update to ICS and it works great.
I got lucky with mine as well, I upgraded to ICS without any problems.
(I have not noticed many of the other reported problems with mine either).

After months of waiting, my tablet is FINALLY UNLOCKED! If you are in the US, see this post. Thanks you Tien (Asus_USA)!

Hi all, I decided to finally take the dive a couple days ago to unlock my beloved prime and try out androwook and other custom roms that supposedly put stock to shame. However, I was unfortunately confronted by a crude and nasty message along the lines of:
Code:
An unknown error occurs, which may be a network connection issue.
Please wait and try again later
As usual, I unrooted, rebooted, and tried again. No luck.
I disabled and uninstalled ATP Tweak (sio scheduler/systune), replaced my modified dock keyboard files (browser mod, switched alt/search buttons), and tried again. No luck.
Factory reset from the settings menu. No luck.
Placed the .28 US update on my SD card, rebooted, and re-flashed the update. No luck.
Where does that leave me now? Locked and feeling imprisoned. I'm wondering if it is worth it to downgrade and try unlocking. So far, I have only seen one person have any success with this. Due to the potential brick risk, I want to stay away from this unless I know it will work. I also know that Asus asked for the MAC address of a prime owner with this issue, but that didn't go anywhere.
This seems like it may be an issue that is experienced by anyone that RMA'ed their tablet for whatever reason. I, personally, sent mine in for a green camera issue and mura, but do not think that they changed my motherboard.
I am also curious to see how many other people are having this issue. If it is sizable, I am willing to start a petition to Asus for them to support their unlock tool and fix this stupid error without an RMA. To that effect, please answer the poll above to let me gather some data on the unlock tool.
Thanks to everyone for your help and support that makes xda such an amazing community!
PS I don't want to see any "Asus sucks" posts. There are tons of other threads for that so please spare us
Additional info:
Have tried this on several different network connections.
Have not yet contacted Asus to see if they have my prime listed as "unlocked" already, but will do so sometime this week.
Logcat of running unlock tool results in this:
Code:
D/KeyBoxService(10158): === StatusCode: SC_UNAUTHORIZED!
D/KeyBoxService(10158): === OTA BEGIN
E/KeyBoxService(10158): === Connection to http://wvdrm.asus.com refused
D/KeyBoxService(10158): === Retry after 600 seconds.
D/KeyBoxService(10158): === OTA END
July 13th Update:
I have contacted Asus with this information. I learned something interesting. Asus has my tablet (s/n) listed as LOCKED. They also did not replace my mainboard when I RMA'ed the tablet. I also have not had the unknown serial number issue. Considering those were the 3 criteria a few of us had considered to be the reasons for not being able to unlock, I am now baffled.
I am going to continue communicating with Asus and hopefully push the matter a little bit more so that something happens. As I was told, "HQ is probably aware and working towards a fix". Let's hope that happens sooner rather than later.
September 5th update:
Seems that Asus HQ figured out a fix, but it requires an RMA. We'll find out soon if it actually works...
September 29th update:
Some of the members in this thread have sent their primes in for an RMA to fix the issue. The first prime back STILL has the problem. Asus HQ is looking into the matter...again...
Asus wants me to resend my tablet back to RMA to see if they can fix the problem. I'll see what they have to say, don't really want to RMA back. It's a software issue it seems to me, changing any hardware will just make it worse.
edit: Email was no help. Dumb. Stuck again! Yay

I found a tool for downgrading that worked pretty well, and when combined with Sparkys tool that will root you so easily on .28, the process of downgrading might be worth a try once you've done everything else.
I'm anxious to hear if anyone who's never rooted and has a serial number has ever had this problem.
I thought my tablet hadn't been unlocked correctly because of some issues and some of the people helping me troubleshoot and figure out the prime when I first got it told me to try running the unlock tool again and said i should get a response, but I always got the same network error. However I bought my prime second hand and it had been rooted before. Finally ended up doing some manual tests with ADB to determine if my problem was unlock related and it wasn't.
I had just gotten the prime, and people said even being unlocked I still shouldn't have gotten that network error. I just gave up after that, and have always wondered if it was related to it being previously rooted.
I can't unlock my tablet. I just don't get any error message at all. But I am 100% sure it's not unlocked.
No Problems here
I have a rooted 0.28, I did not root until after I got the 0.28 update.
I just ran the unlock tool downloaded from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510737
I had to use the dropbox downlown because the one from ASUS would not work.
Unlocked, no issues. No factor reset necessary, no removing root. Now i'm completely unlocked and ruined my warranty just for you guys.
Now i'm going to go install a custom rom.

Unlocking by a dummy
I unlocked a couple of weeks ago but it wasn't easy. Why? because I am half dumb and need reading glasses. It took me part of 2 days to figure out what was going on. I would get to the final scare screen that warns you that if you do this you are screwed forever and then I could not go any further. There were no buttons to click or agreement check boxes to check just the sad warning big as life.
Then I watched a video, the one with the hyper dude with braces unlocking his prime. And I realized I was missing the buttons on that warning screen. It occurred to met that I had amped up my font size so I could read my tablet without my reading glasses. This action made the font from the warning too big to fit the button on the screen. Went into settings, decreased font size, unlocked, never better.

No, never had to RMA. My device is from the US and I'm in Poland so I'm not sure if an RMA would work anyway. I've had it for a month and besides the left screen tearing issue, it works great!
I'm going to install Wooki first and see how that goes. TWRP is already installed and backup has been created. I'll report back if this fixes things. I'm going to try without doing a full wipe (cache and dalvik only). I don't really want to re-install everything.

From past experience, you should always do a full wipe especially if you want your prime to be performing well. Do a titanium backup of all your apps (the pro version is WELL worth the money) and you'll be up and running with an hour exactly how you were before. Good luck!

Yes, my experience with the HTC Desire tells me a full wipe is probably necessary, however I don't like titanium backup. It takes too long and it's easier just letting everything trickle in over the market. I've also found that, unless you're moving from 2.3 to 4.0.x clearing dalvik and cache usually works just as well. It's not like any rom formats the internal memory to use a different setup with better performance...though maybe that's not a bad idea.
BTW, when I said the one from ASUS wouldn't work, I meant it would not download. It just looping on my tablet to which browser it should use, and I eventually gave up and tried the other link.
Got my prime back from asus RMA no more chance to unlock. My prime was unlocked before send to RMA.
They changed the board or chip, when I did the RMA the .28 update JUST came out so I tried applying it before I sent it off. Worked, so it was updated. Then they sent it back after RMA and it was a March update, way back. Don't think they downgraded, but they did change something. Then no unlock at all (though I never tried beforehand, I imagine it would have worked)
Hi,
I don't have the same error message than you, it only say:
Failed to unlock the device, please try again later

I had .28 rooted and was able to do the unlock no problem. I had to download the app from a dropbox account as I was unable to download from ASUS's website.
The issue seems to be related to RMAs. I bought mine 2nd hand from a guy who got it from his boss, so theres no way of knowing if it was ever returned. It doesnt seem to matter on which firmware you are or if you are rooted or not.... All we (probably) have in common is the RMA factor. At least thats progress!
Well everybody my Mega is there at Samsung in Plano, TX hopefully getting reflashed or repaired or whatever the hell they're gonna do to it. Hopefully it's FUBAR and they can't tell it's been rooted lol.
Sub'd. I need to know how this goes, because I am getting sick of not having my phone work. I don't trust them, but my distrust is being outweighed by my massive lack of patience.

The lack of patience is why I didn't wait more than a day before sending it lol. I'll keep ya posted for sure. If it works, i'll tell you exactly what I did to mess it up as bad as I did.
I think you'll be fine. Like three years ago when I was a android rookie I had brick my vibrant and couldn't figure out how to fix it. It was rooted and bricked and I couldn't fix it so I said **** it and I sent it to samsung on the hopes they wouldn't discover my unlawfulness. Well two weeks after I got it back fresh in a new box. Perfectly fixed.
Also one time I had an iPhone 3gs that was jailbroken but the screen was broken and wouldn't recognize any touching on it. So I just handed it to the guy and he couldn't slide to unlock it to check it out so they gave me a refurbished one without even checking if I had messed with it. Got lucky on both days I guess haha :good:
Samsung warranty
I sent mine out monday morning,got there today.Its already fixed and being sent out today,should be back by monday.I soft bricked mine trying to achieve root and it wouldn't boot passed the samsung galaxy mega statup.They fixed with just a stock firmware update,which I could of done myself if I had the stock odin firmware tar file,o well at least it ffixed and ill have it back within 7 days,not bad thought it would take at least two weeks

Maaaaaaan I've been checking on this crap every day lol. On Friday afternoon I got a call saying that my LCD was damaged and had to be replaced. That fee was $200, but I raised hell for like 30 minutes telling them to just use my old LCD because it still worked and I just wanted my phone reflashed. Needless to say, my LCD was replaced free of charge and that I should have my phone back by Friday 11-1-13 or before. This was on Friday and I called yesterday and they couldn't tell me anything because there were no updates in the system. I checked today and still no updates in their system.
Side note: Did you see a message in Kies saying that the firmware was now available for our device? I swear I saw something to that effect the last time I got on my computer. Would that help you out at all?
ODIN flashable firmware is my last hope, i suspect it will work, but only time will tell. I keep searching, checking sammobile, but nothing yet.
I'm to the point where I am holding off on buying car mods to do this winter because I have a sinking feeling I will be buying a new phone in the near future.

Hey i got my phone back. It took 8 business days, but because i was refuising to pay for the lcd repair. I have my phone back. They reflashed it at no charge and all that. They told me they do that before they inspect anything. I would imagine your would be reflashed and returned fairly quickly.

I've gotten 1, It was a Kid's Edition, Had to replace it again. Then I got one Thursday. Works great
Had like 2 updates 4.5.1 -> 4.5.3 -> 4.5.5
I Honestly don't plan to root this thing again due to the fact that I'm prob's selling it.
Now, do they look through these things, Like in their internal memory?
So, I'm patiently waiting on my bootloader unlock code and had a question just to make sure I do this right. After the unlock of my TMobile variant, I plan on installing the LOS rom into my phone but need to make sure of some things. 1. I would downgrade to the Android 11 version of the stock rom first correct? Also 2. The mindthegapps is the best version to use correct?
I have been a member of this forum for a long time now and am clearly getting old. Haha. My first phone to root and unlock with these forums was an htc phone. Had a few of those. Then my favorite phone to play with on here was a Nexus 4. Then 2 separate pixel phones ending with the pixel 4. Money has been a little tight lately and I saw TMobile's deal with this phone recently and couldn't hesitate. Been a decent phone so far but can never hesitate when seeing an opportunity to make a phone better.
Thank you in advance to anyone who helps.
Yes. You'll have to downgrade to 11. Mindthegapps works fine but I recommend FlameGapps full as that includes stuff like digital wellbeing, google clock, google calculator, and more that mindthegapps won't give you.

There are addons by the way, just don't install pixel launcher as that one doesn't work.
I actually prefer bitgapps. But that's just me. You WILL see that they are not verified versions, hitn"flash anyways".
www.onepluscommunityserver.com has the firmware under "unbrick tools".

Thank you both for all the help and advice. I appreciate it @justauserthatusesaphone @Springles2
remember you need msm tool on windows to downgrade. there's basically no other way
:')
There is a Linux tool... But it is a lot to learn lol. And it is cli-based
Interesting, now I can't check the status of my unlock code on OnePlus website. When checking the status it just comes back as a white page. Hope I'll still get it.
Does the unlock token webpage work at all for you guys?
When I go to the page (https://www.oneplus.com/unlock_token), I get nothing but a blank page.
I've tried this on Windows 10, Ubuntu, Android combined with Firefox, Chrome, Edge, mobile browser and they all show up as blank.
I wrote to oneplus support few days ago and all I've received was a generic response - wait until they work on it.

After you install lineage, reboot into recovery, and then install. I had the same thing happen when I didn't reboot to recovery after installing the lineage zip.

No worries, I'd prefer you using my question thread that I even asked about gapps to get the help you are needing rather than me being upset because I took this thread off topic and you actually Brought it back on topic!
Also going a little back off topic, I got my unlock code approval email just like they said it would. Pretty much 7 days to the minute. The sad part is the download link and regular link also still go to a blank page. Sad day, I was ready to get this done today.
I GET IT. Why is it white still... This the 4th day in a row... It doesn't take 4 days to repair or build a dns server... Even from scratch... Trust me.. I've done it.

I have as well, I went to school for network administration. The thing that I think it might be is an all hands on deck for their OxygenOS 13 beta they are releasing currently from what I understand. Of course I could be completely wrong. I could be completely wrong though. I'll just continue to be patient. Knowing now I have the email saying it's ready, nothing I could do but wait. Just hopefully it's fixed sooner rather than later. I doubt it will be today though since it's Sunday.

I checked this morning as well and saw it was back up but didn't attempt to download since I was at work and checking from my phone. I will attempt to download when I get home after work. I get off at 3.30 cst so not far away. I work for Lenovo so I go in early. Lol
