Hello,
(First sorry for my very bad english. It's not my natural language but I do my best for sharing with you!)
04/13 - UPDATE: Now 3G works for ICS with some ROMs like Megatron.
Revolver will be based on TF101G ICS ROM soon.
09/17 - UPDATE:Roach2010 and gnufabio have developped an apk that enable Mobile Network settings (for 3G dongle).
Their APK change the bootloader. (Read more and download)
So maybe this thread has no purpose except for issues and for the list of compatible dongles. If you have a dongle which work and which is not in the list.....
11/08 - UPDATE: 3G dongle works too with Extension-Kit/TFUSB1 Asus P/N 90-XB2UOKEX00020
You can find it here: http://shop.asus.fr/shop/fr/fr-FR/Home/1-Produits/1500-Collection-ASUS/1936-Accessoires-Eee-Pad/1937-Accessoires-Transformer-Prime-TF201/90-XB2UOKEX00070-Adaptateur-USB-externe-pour-ASUS-Eee-Pad.aspx (Thanks to ValenteL for information)
************************************************************
Bellow you can find the first post
Thank you,
Regards.
FIRST POST:
There is probably other ways to make the 3G Dongle working on TF101 but here you can find how we have done.
The follow lines work to have Prime v1.5 installed on your Transformer (works with any version!)
Then you could upgrade to Revolver 2.1.
Otherwise you can directly nvflash your TF101 with the Revolver 2.5 NVFlashed version of cuckoopt.
You just have to follow instructions on this post.
Don't forget to thank him if it works for you
Note: SetCpu doesn't seem to work. I don't know if the issue is coming from Revolver or HC. By re-installing SetCpu, it works one time then crashes.
A. Prime V1.5 Installation:
1. You have to backup all your data/apk from your Internal SD Card because we will make a clean install. So use your backup software.
Becareful. if you project to use Titanium Backup, his backup files are on the internal SD Card so afterwards, you have to move it to your MicroSD (from /mnt/sdcard/Titatium Backup to /data/Removable/MicroSD)
2. Download NVFlash: http://www.filefactory.com/file/ccda97c/n/nvflash.zip then the NVFlash version of Prime v1.5: http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/roach2010/flash_roms/prime_v1.5_nvflash.tar.bz2
Updated note: I am not able to activate the Mobile Network option with version 1.6 (even Zip version for ClockWorkMod nor NVFlash version).
But some people have succesfully activated it by flashing NetFinder 1.5 just after the fresh Install of Prime v1.6 and before rebooting the system ; it means in the same CWM
3. unpack NVFlash and Prime v1.5 in the same directory. The image files of Prime v1.5 should be unpacked into the NVFLashTF folder.
4. Connect your TF101 to your PC via USB. Then hold the volume UP and Power button until a NEW device named "APX" appears in the Device Manager. Note that the screen of the Transformer stays black.
5. Click on the APX to install drivers from directory USBPCDriver (included in NVFlash.zip)
info: I used Windows XP 32 bits.
6. Then run Download.bat if you are on Windows, download.sh for Linux users
7. When NVFlash is ended, reboot your TF101.
During boot, there is a setup wizard. Choose connection with "3G and Wifi", not "only Wifi"!!
At this step, you must have the Mobile Network option in Parameters.
8. Download Maxh2003 Script: http://android.modaco.com/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=73836 (you need to be a register user on Modaco You could find another link some posts after!)
Download the Patch files for ACER A500 tab: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=638588&d=1309189189
9. Unzip the script and the Patch file in the same directory.
If you want to upgrade to Revolver 2.1 version (HoneyComb 3.2), you must stop here and go to step B (chapter B).
Otherwise continue chapter A.
10. Connect your TF101 and run install-TF101.bat
11. Mobile Network option is here.
B. REVOLVER 2.1 Installation
1. Do a fresh install of Prime v1.5 NVFlsh version.
If it's not the case go back to the begin of this post and execute steps A.1 to A.9. then go back to B.2
2. Download this file
3. If you read this, Prime v1.5 NVFlash version is installed and you are in CWM Recovery screen.
Install the Recovery 2.1 version (Full). DON'T WIPE DATA
4. At the end, just reboot your system and verify that Mobile Network option is still here.
5. Then we have to install drivers for your dongle (see the list below for compatible dongles).
Let your TF101 on, connect it to your PC via USB cable and run install-TF101.bat via cmd.exe from Windows (tested under Windows XP x86 and Windows 7 x64)
C. List of COMPATIBLE DONGLES
Note: if your dongle is not in this list, but works with TF101, please tell me. It will be added to the list.

D. About LED on HUAWEI 3G Dongle:[/B]
The LED indicator displays the current connection status of your Orange E1752 dongle, with each colour representing a different status:
When the LED displays green and is blinking twice every three seconds, this means that the dongle is powered on.
When the LED displays green and is blinking once every three seconds, this means that the dongle is attempting to register onto a 2G network.
When the LED displays blue and is blinking once every three seconds, this means that the dongle is attempting to register onto a 3G network.
When the LED displays solid green, this means that the dongle is connected onto a 2G network.
When the LED displays solid blue, this means that the dongle is connected onto a 3G network.
When the LED displays solid cyan, this means that the dongle is connected onto a 3G+ network
When the LED displays no colour, this means that the dongle is removed.

And dont forget to turn off the composite device of the 3G dongle.
Here how to do (thanks to Matchstick from Modaco who wrote these lines):
You can test this by plugging the stick into a PC and seeing if it detects the modem as a CD or Memory stick device as well as a modem.
If it does then the method I used to turn off the composite device (on Windows 7) was:
1) Install the software and drivers for the modem under windows and make sure that the connection software sees the modem correctly.
2) Go to Settings/Control Panel/Device Manager and if you expand the Modems section you should see your USB modem listed there
3) Double click on the entry for the modem to get the properties panel up and selected the Modem tab
4) You should see a line at the very top of the tab that says something like Port: COM11 - This is the virtual serial port that the PC uses to talk to the modem which we're going to use to send the command to turn off all the stuff we don't want.
5) Next we want to install a serial console application. PuTTY is perfect for this. If you don't have a copy you can get if from here,
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
6) Run putty, select Serial under Connection Typem and enter the port we found in step 4 (eg COM11) into the box marked Serial Line and press the Open button
7) An empty window should pop up, which if things are working correctly is connected to the Modem
8) Type "ATI" into the window (without the quotes) and press return. The ATI command asks the modem for basic information and it should respond with something like
Manufacturer: huawei
Model: E1752
Revision: 11.126.03.01.314
IMEI: 123456789012345
+GCAP: +CGSM,+DS,+ES
OK
9) If you see this then you are connected correctly, if you don't see a response try physicaly unplugging and reconnecting the modem into a different USB port and start again from step 2 after windows has loaded the drivers for the modem.
10) Assuming everything is OK, the we can send the command to turn off the stuff we don't want. To do this simply type "AT^U2DIAG=0" (again without quotes) into the putty window. you should see the response OK.
11) If you do then the composite device features should now be turned off and you are ready to try the modem in your transformer.

Remerciements/Thanks to AndroidRoot.mobi for NVFlash, Paul for Prime!, Maxh2003 for his script and help, Matchstick for his help, Dexter_nlb for his A500 patch and, of course, all our developers and users who help us.
Not sure why I've flashed several roms in APX from w7 64 bit just fine.
It seems that these drivers don't work for win7 64 and works for Vista 64.
Perhaps they are unsigned.... didn't know. I don't make more tests.
Regards.
Looking good. Now to get a 3G plan and dongle...
Anyone get this working?

Could you upload Maxh2003's scrift file here. I can't download it from your link.
Thanks

Hello it's not a theoretical WIP.
Look here
Can you give more details please?
Regards,
oh... I guess insmod won't work on the modules without a compatible modem plugged in then?
many thanks! got it to work on my E1750
although you might want to put the instruction steps to remove the storage on the modem (only works after I did it):
Insert modem into pc and wait for driver to install
check in device manager which com port is assignated to your modem
download putty
here the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe
close every program related to modem
run putty
click serial below port number and then change port number to one previously founded
click open
write atz and press enter, modem should answer ok
write ati and press enter, modem should give name, type, etc
write AT^U2DIAG=0 and press enter, zero cd is now disabled

If yes, you have to turn off the composite device of the 3G dongle.

What kind of OTG adapter are you using for this?
Hi all,
will this work with the Huawei E173u2 , the second version adapted for (pseudo)"4G" networks
I am with stock 3.1 + root.
Does it work or I need to install PRIME anyway?
At the moment, everyone who has got this to work has had to install Prime 1.5 (and several of us had to install the NVFlash specific version of Prime)

Is this similar to the huawei E367 ? As I'm looking at the E367 at the moment.
One easy(ish) way to check is to follow Steps 1-8 from post 12, then enter the command "AT^GETPORTMODE" (without the quotes)
If you get a response like
"^getportmode:type:WCDMA:Qualcomm,MDM:0,NDIS:1,DIAG:2,PCUI:3,CDROM:4"
then the E173u2 is using the new interface like the E367 and at the moment I can't get it to work.
It may be that the drivers aren't compatible (I'm not seeing ttyUSB0-ttyUSB2 devices appearing in /dev/) or it may just be that I haven't got the correct interfaces enabled.
There's information on the AT commands for the new-style Huawei modems here

So i think that it is not only root needed but also something that in PRIME is present and that we can not add to stock rom.....

Guys help me i lost my imei in Lenovo vibe k4 note..
How can i restore or insert imei in my device....
Plz guys help me to restore my original imei no. In my device.....
easy and temporary method-use app called chamelephone(root necessary)
permanent solution-google steps and fix using SNwriter
There are actually 2 methods. As Lenovo Vibe K4 Note works on MT6753 processor then SN write tool is good for restoring the IMEI. Follow the steps:
1) Download SN write tool.exe for your computer.
2) Its normally a .rar or a .zip file. Extract it in the computer and go to extracted files.
3) There you will find SN write tool application, run it as administrator.
4) After it opens, select 'Smartphone'. You won't need it anyways cause its already selected but in case if it is not then select it.
5) Configure - In the upper left section select IMEI.
6) In the lower left section select Dual IMEI(Don't tick the dual same IMEI option).
7) You need to select database files. They come along with the stock ROM of you mobile. If you don't have them then try to google the database files for Lenovo Vibe K4 Note and if you are lucky, you will find it. In case you don't then tell me I will try to upload them.
8) Save, then start. To start, it will ask for both IMEI. You can find your IMEI on the barcode on the battery of your K4 Note or on the box in which it came. Enter IMEI and start.
9) AFTER STARTING, switch off your K4 Note and connect it to the PC via USB cable.
10) Now it will show handshake. Don't do anything just sit back and relax. It will all be done automatically.
11) If it didn't pass the handshake stage and is stuck on it then you probably selected the wrong database files.
That's it!! Once the process is completed it will show 'Pass'. Now discontent the mobile and reboot it. You will have your IMEI
please upload the files. cannot find the right files.

ROM / Firmware/ Brick Recovery for 7" Android Head Unit AC8227l YT9217 YT9218 1/16GB
Thanks everyone who contributed in my effort to fix my bricked device. Here is all that I have found useful in successfully reviving my device.
The files shared here are the ones that worked on my unit (see specs and pictures below) If your device is different, it may or may not work.
If the device has dedicated radio chip inside, the Firmware number will show as YT9218, if no radio chip, then it will show as YT9217
Note: if your device is not bricked, Make a full backup before trying another firmware.
I hope it helps. (donations are always welcome )
Memory dump:

Firmware 20190906: (Link)
MCU 3.1 (Link)(Thanks foxgiggle )
MCU 2.8 (Link) (Thanks lemmon and foxgiggle)
I hope it helps. (donations are always welcome )
Memory Dump Procedure via flashtool:
(Memory dump is only needed if you need full recovery from a backup. Otherwise you may only need to do the next part.)
Download and install MTK drivers. (Link)
Load scatter file and preloader (Link) in spflashtool. Press Ctrl Alt V , then go to Window and select "write memory". In file path select "user", in begin address put 0x0, In Region select the partition named "EMMC_USER". Hit Write memory. After that plug in the usb cable (connected to usb1 port). If the device is not detected, you need to power it on. If still not detected then you might need to short the two test points (see picture) (without power this time) and then plug in the usb cable. Remove the short when write process starts. Check if the issue is fixed. If its not fixed, then do the same to write boot2 and boot1 partitions as well. You may need to download Boot_1 specific to your original firmware from the link above.
Uploading Firmware (full or parts) via flashtool:
If you are uploading the firmware available in parts, you only need to upload "BOOTIMG" and "ANDROID" (SYSTEM).
You may also need to flash "RECOVERY". Remember to uncheck the preloader. Here is a nice instructions file. (Link) (thanks Maxkir)
There is more info and firmwares to chose from at 4pda forum.
Update / Upgrade Procedure via USB flash drive:
Copy the zip file (do not extract) to usb drive or microSD card, (formatted by SD Card Formatter). Connect to usb port 1 or 2. Go to Car Settings, System info. Click Android Upgrade.
--OR--
Extract the zip into a folder named XYAUTOUPG into the flash drive or microSD card, connect to usb port 1 or 2 and then reboot. Upgrade should start automatically. You might need to try with different USB drives or sd cards. For some reason this only works with certain usb and cards.
I hope it helps. (donations are always welcome )
MCU Upgrade Procedure via USB flash drive:
Extract the mcu file into flash drive or microSD card. Connect to usb port 1 or 2. Go into system info and update mcu.
Make a Full Backup/Memory Dump:
Open SPFlashtool, Select Memory Test Tab, Select only RAM Test (uncheck the rest), push start, and connect the unit. Save the information appeared, in a text file for later. (Read above "Memory dump procedure" for the usb connection setup).
Now go to ReadBack Tab, Double click on empty space next to tick mark, Select a folder where you want to store the dump file, and Type a name for the dump file you are going to creat, (ie. Boot_1, Boot_2, USER). Click Save. In next window "Readback block start address", select the region you want to make backup of (ie. EMMC_BOOT_1, EMMC_BOOT_2, EMMC_USER).
Start address is 0x0000000000000000
Length copy and paste from the text file you created earlier.
typically for Boot_1 and 2 the length is 0x0000000000400000
and for USER (16GB models) the length is 0x00000003a8000000
Click OK.
Now click on Readback and then connect the unit via usb cable. and Read process will start.
Do the same to make backup of all three partions. USER will take long time because its the largest partition.
RDS FM Radio:

All relevant info about ROMs and flashing you can find in top header of this russian forum.
Look at the spoilers in the gray header layer and use Google translate to understand what is written there.
There are 3 ROM versions for the 8227L based head units. I downloaded and installed the oldest of the 3 (rooted and TWRP IMG included). Copy all files from the RAR to a flashdrive in root folder.
Turn off the head unit.
Connect the flashdrive to USB 1 slot of the head unit.
Turn on the the head unit.
The install process starts immediately after turning on.
It takes about 10 minutes.
When install process is ready, turn off the head unit.
Detach the flashdrive.
Turn on the head unit and it will boot with factory settings like a new device....
Note that there are also ROMs for flashing wit MTC flash tool downloadable.
But the versions for installing from USB sticks ( po russki - dla flashky) are more comfortable to install and I don't own a Windows pc. So this variant was my favorite method...
Regards and good luck...
Edit: if your unRAR program asks for a password for unpacking the RAR file, then use Eazy unRAR app from Playstore on your Android device - it ignores password lock in RAR file ...
Edit2: the 5th gray spoiler in the top header of the Russian forum hosts the links to the ROM RAR files...
The USB flash drive method didn't work for me, Device doesn't detect USB while booting up. I tried everything, connecting the test points, pushing reset button etc. to no avail.
SP flash tool does seem to work, I have tried uploading several available roms, only these three uploaded successfully,

Заводская прошивка под флештул от 09.11.2018 UI1 с переводом
20181224 TWRP ROOT перевод и эквалайзер от ноябрьской
but didn't turn on the device. Device turns on but I get a black (backlit) screen. What else is there to try?

No idea, what else you can try
If you can connect a PC to headunit and flashed a ROM with TWRP, may be you can use adb reboot recovery and clear data and cache via TWRP?
Hope you find a solution to boot your HU...

No luck with adb either.
seems like my only option is if I could get the exact ROM for this device and flash it. The seller was less than helpful, so Aliexpress refunded me in full.

http://download.seicane.com/doc/80/H5 Android 8.1 updated file.zip
Any ideas ???? my device is a brick at the moment, and doesn't recognise usb flash drive for updating.
Fixed.:victory:
Check the first post for detail.
So you flashed via sd card or flashtool?

Thanks for that, wow the memory dump is massive more than 4Gb! Did you use format and download or just download in the Flash tool? Do you know the files the scatter file took from the memory dump? So, you didn't use any files from the first download where you took the scatter file from? I'm still having a problem connecting to my PC may have to use the hardware forced (testpoint) method!
You need usb male to male cable, attach it to usb1 on the device. but not yet connect to pc. Run the sp flash tool. and select the correct scatter file. Then run which ever function you need. after that connect the usb cable to pc while connecting these two test points (picture) with a small piece of wire to each other. After it is recognised and operation starts, you can release the jumper wire.

Thanks, when I use the scatter file from the first download and put it with the files in the second download it only picks up the preloader file nothing else?
Hi, Scatter file is only needed to make sp flash tool recognise the partition table on the device. no need to download anything via scatter file. press Ctrl Alt V , then go to Window and select "write memory". Set start address to 0x00 Use this to write Boot_1 , Boot_2 and User, to EMMC_Boot_1, EMMC_Boot_2 and EMMC_User respectivly. thats it.
I hope it helps.

Firmware with the correct resolution for your screen.
Screens 1024x600 and 800x480 - stitched with one firmware
1280x480 screen - if there is no firmware for this screen, then you need to flash the firmware from a 1024x600 screen and then update the resolution file separately via system updates
Computer or laptop
USB cable male-male
And understanding what you are doing
Step-by-step instructions for the firmware
Download firmware in IMG format
Get it out of the archive
It is advisable to put it in the root of the disk
Download software for PC PhoenixSuit V1.10 - click here
Download the program for the GU, which switches devices to firmware mode from a PC
com.tw.updatepc.zip(8.41 KB) 1345 downloads
Install downloaded applications on devices
Do not connect anything to the GU, run the applications, agree with the proposal and the GU will go into firmware mode. The screen will be blank, only backlight.
Launch Phoenix
Select the previously downloaded firmware in IMG format
Connect HU to PC via USB cable
After connecting, the connection sound should be heard (if it was not, change the tail in the GU to another)
Go to Device Manager and update the driver, this procedure must be done 2 times (the driver is in the phoenix folder )
Then a window will pop up asking you, press YES 2 times , this is a request for a complete cleaning of your device
