Will this work with ICS?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
Use ViperMod (Option 1) for ICS. This method is pretty outdated.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] towers1209:
Is this true for TF101 with ICS (latest firmware -- .24)?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
It didn't kill recovery, that's your stock recovery. You have to flash CWM, use RecoveryInstaller to do that
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] MAO2200:
Same problem, could you please tell me step by step how to repair the recovery?

I also have the ignition problem that occurs only with the charger plugged in, problems could be connected? I have a B80 and ICS WW .24, thanks in advance!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jtrosky:
Search for and download RecoverInstaller.apk - it will flash CWM to your recovery partition.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] realmadrid_cf:
Go to google play store, download and install Rom Manager, run app and then flash clockwork mod recovery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kokobaliev:
hi there! Im with tf101 and newest firm .24 and want to root it. can u tell me how to do it, please. sorry if the question is stupid but im newbie with this device. thank u very much!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] idcrisis:

Any one used this method. Tablet arrived today.....9.2.1.11

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] domesdkg:
Used the new tool, works great!

Unfortunately, I can't get into my recovery anymore. When I try to go to recovery from ROM manager, I just get a reboot. Tried reflashing the recovery, but no go.

At first I could use the one step tool to get into recovery, but now that I'm running CM10, (jellybean) it doesn't work anymore...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
Use "Transformer reboot to Recovery" app from the Play Store.

or manually by

Vol down plus Power button

When prompt hit Vol up within 5 sec.

hi i rooted my tablet but had to do a factory reset as my play store started playing up. i just did a factory reset but now when i try to add my google account it comes up saying cant establish a reliable connection to the server but my tablet is connected to wifi and the internet works on it
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mb2k:
Thanks,

Unfortunately still no su. When I 1st opened the TB app, got the request for su, but it still fails. May have to try all over again.

Edit I did get CWM working ok. Is there anything I need to/should do from the CWM menu?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mb2k:
ok looks like i just have an issue w/ TB. Got AdFree and Root Explorer working so I'm assuming I've got SU working.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] netarchy:
Hit the problems button in tb and let it install busybox.

Wow, thanks guys!!!

Any way to nandroid just the image + apps? When I nandroid it tried to back up system+data+ every ****ing thing I have stored on my tab.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] lordgodgeneral:
Yeah I saw the same thing when I did mine. During the nandroid when it was backing up data saw mp3's and dungeon defender downloaded files, so it doesn't do just app data like it used to.

Def going to need a fix for this to somehow filter out whats on the "sdcard"
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mb2k:
Just realized a problem with the camera after this. When I start the app, the tablet reboots. Is this a known problem with rooting the device?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] lordgodgeneral:
Hadn't really messed with the camera any before rooting but can confirm when I try to open it I hear the clicking as it powers up and then the tablet reboots
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] netarchy:
chmod 4755 should fix that. (4 sets the suid bit so that when su is executed, it's executed with the owners privileges, in this case root)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Lintrix:
Those that were able to successfully root your device, upon launching your camera app, does the tab reboot itself?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] m1ket:
This is mentioned in another thread, after rooting camera was not working

I've tried PRIME! v1.1 rom and modaco rom, but every time when I turn camera on, the screen go black then restart.

any clue? :p
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] vodrin:
Ti-X stopped this from happening for me
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] seshmaru:
I'm gonna guess the OTA's included with prime and MCR have those camera fixes (video stutter and green screen) which some how are ****ing up? Ti-X is the original + OTA 1 I think?

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mb2k:
So it's beginning to look like those with rooted update 2 are having the camera issue. Is it possible to flash back to update 1 or flash back to a rom that uses update 1 when you're already on update 2?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dictionary:
To reiterate from another thread: When reverting to a 4/14 build, the camera works again. Seems something in the 4/26 build broke it.

Hi guys, been trying to do this today. Got root (#) first attempt with gingerbreak, but could not run the md5sum (not found). So I attempted it again, and am now getting the following from gingerbreak:

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] lordgodgeneral:
After each time you run gingerbreakBB you have to delete boomsh and sh from /data/local/tmp before you can run it again

How would I go 100% stock again?

I did steps 9-11 using blob from asus ota update which removed cwr. I deleted superuser and su and deleted anything in data/local.

Running adb shell shows the dollar sign so I'm not root anymore but when I start the camera it reboots. So there's still something in the system. I've also done a full factory reset and that doesn't seem to do anything.

edit: how would you guys get into cwr? rom manager didn't work nor did quick boot. i had to shut down and then power on using vol down + power. is there any easier way?

I was able to root my TF but when I went to update SU. I get an error that tells me it can't & need to flash su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip. When I boot into CWM to flash su, it says it can't be open.

can someone help me?

Is there a way to unroot & start over?

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Scottland:
Thanks for that. I'm at the same position as before now, got root (#) but getting the following:

md5sum /data/local/CWM_BLOB_V4

md5sum: not found

This is after I've pushed the file to data/local

Edit, got it working by pulling the blob and checking md5sum on local machine before proceeding.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Matchstick:
Can you revert by just re-applying the official Asus OTA one from here ?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13023220&postcount=29

To use this file originally I copied it to root of my MicroSD card (not internal memory) renamed it to EP101_SDUPDATE.ZIP, then rebooted the transformer and it was applied automatically.

Or if that doesn't work would it be safe to try applying the same update file manually via CWM ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JFoshee:
Finally

Ok after about 20-25 tries it finally did give me the # and I was able to root and install the recovery so everything is good. Guess it tries a buffer overflow or something to get root and just takes multiple times to get it just right. Work for me now though :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mmmboba:
Sorry for the noob question but how do you pull the blob to the local machine? I keep getting stuck at the md5sum: not found
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Tenny:
C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools>adb pull /data/local/CWM_BLOB_V4

3010 KB/s (9553093 bytes in 3.099s)

Then use Hashtab or some other program to get the MD5 from the new one (delete the old one from the directory first).

Also of note... you should be probably doing this in the command prompt that you pushed the blob to it from unless you know what you are doing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Tenny:
I had the same problem, try a different MicroSD card (that worked for me).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] redmongoose:
Thanks. I actually tried 4 different cards all with the same result. Interestingly they all worked ok in my phone !

I ran fix permissions through CWM on the phone for each of the cards and now they all work fine on the transformer :-D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] case0:
Stupid question but do you need to keep the microSD card in permanently after doing this? I lost my spare one so I only have the one in my phone..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] seshmaru:
No, only during the rooting itself do you need one in.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pingpongboss:
Is there any way to revert the flashing of the BLOB, and go back to stock Asus recovery?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] seshmaru:
if you **** up flashing the blob you automatically get stock recovery funnily enough (I ****ed up the dd if command while flashing the V5 blob and got the original recovery again).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pingpongboss:
What the, that sounds promising (sort of). By now I've flashed the V4 blob, and then another blob from a UK update (that I probably shouldn't have, since I have the US version) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13023220&postcount=29

Think it's worth a try to **** the dd up on purpose? lol
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] seshmaru:
I ran dd if=/data/local/CWM_BLOB_V4 of=/dev/block/mmcblkop4 instead of dd if=/data/local/CWM_BLOB_V4 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 and got the default recovery back, I then tried flashing again while using the correct command and got v5, so it wont break anything as far as I know. If you have root you can instantly reflash CWM again without gingerbreak so I don't see any harm.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Tenny:
For those wondering...

Blob 5:

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dictionary:
You definitely got lucky, as I wouldn't suggest purposely flashing the wrong block.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] seshmaru:
It was relatively harmless since the blocks all have the naming scheme, if you put a letter instead of a number by accident or vice versa it just wont find the block.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dictionary:
I suppose .. I just recall from the Inspire or g2 (I believe) that we were always warned to not flash anything to an incorrect block. Like, blk .. and that the l isn't a 1, etc. That it could seriously screw things up. Guess it's just lingering paranoia? haha
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sark666:
Not knocking these efforts, but just curious. What does rooting this device get you at this point? I know mucking with the cpu but I'm not really into that. As far as custom roms go, well there won't be any for honeycomb. So can this device stock sideload apps or is that only for rooted devices?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] seshmaru:
At the moment all it adds is the ability to use apps that require root, and custom ROMs, which are basically the same as stock just with more optimization so they'll be slightly faster than stock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sark666:
So does the stock device allow sideloading?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] seshmaru:
Yes it does.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mike6200:
I got adb working and it shows a serial when I type adb devices, but when you say to extact the zip file to the adb folder how do I do that? Thanks

You're probably doing what I did at first. Putting: adb shell ./data/local/gingerbreakBB

What you should be doing, is two separate lines. It's: adb shell .. and then hit enter. Now put ./data/local/gingerbreakBB .. that should work just fine for ya.

ADB works fine on Mac, arguably better.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] timtlm:
I plan on rooting my TF very soon. I rooted my evo a long time ago, and have done research on how other devices are rooted, so I have a couple of questions about this root method, and how CWM recovery works on this tablet.

Is this full 100% root? In the early evo days, the evo only had partial root. You couldn't permanently modify the system, and you couldn't replace the recovery image. The recovery that it used would be temporarily run instead of the stock recovery to do nandroid backups. I am guessing this is full root, but just making sure.

When you say insecure boot, is that the same as S-OFF?

How do nandroid backups work with the transformer? I have noticed in the file manager that there is a folder called sdcard which stores all the same kind of stuff that is stored on my evo's physical sd card. Inserting a real sd card creates another sdcard location that you can access from the task bar. So, my question is, will a nandroid backup go to the sdcard folder, or do you need a physical SD card, and then the nandroid backup will backup system, data, including the sdcard folder to the physical sd card?

Will wiping data from recovery wipe the sdcard folder?

Any proven unroot method? It seems like we should be able to flash the stock ROM zip file downloaded from asus in the bootloader (similar to the evo), but I'm no expert.

On another note, we really need to start using a designation in ROM threads for [UK][US] roms. It sounds like you can't flash them interchangeably. Plus we need a stock rooted rom for the US for people who want to flash back to stock. I see there's already a UK one.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] seshmaru:
you can flash them interchangeably
