Any plans to update the hosted files to include the fixed su app? This is the only thing putting me off rooting right now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] nicknowsky:
Once I connected to the Market, I was automatically asked if I wanted to update the SuperUser app. Once the update was done I opened the app and was asked to update the Su binary. Thats where it asked me if I would allow the app Root Access. I clicked ALLOW and it seemed to work fine.

After that I assumed I had working ROOT access. I downloaded the Root Checker app and Rom Manager just to confirm that SU was working, but the ROOT Check app said I didnt have ROOT. I thought maybe I got lucky at first seeing how the Super User app was granted ROOT
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] greeny2010:
If I install a WW over a stock US, will the serial number be different? I've a buddy who flashed a WW over a US firmware and the serial number is different .. :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
Hosted ROMs are valid & working.

As long as Superuser author didn't fixed the su binary he installs through his app, you need to not update it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] CrazyPeter:
Can you explain this better please? I don't understand...

I have flashed (using NVFLash and Prime 1.4) and then loaded his over the top.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ckuke4:
CWM not there after installing this package??

Ok, I have tried a couple of times now, I have installed Prime1.4 with nvflash and then install this package afterwards and CWM is nowhere to be found. I am still rooted, but that's it. Any ideas?? Thanks!

I also found the link the the DE SKU (German) and CN SKU (China)

http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF101/UpdateLauncher_CN_epaduser8447.zip

The China Update seems to be a newer build. (8.4.4.7)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] down8:
I've tried to update via Superuser.apk & tried just leaving it alone. Neither seems to last.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
Download the newest su package from http://androidsu.com/

Get the honeycomb flashable package and flash it thru CWM.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
This is the latest su package.

I had plenty of trouble with superuser last night.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
That's not your product serial number, that's your unique id similar to imei in a phone.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] down8:
Works perfectly.

Finally.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] nicknowsky:
so everyones in agreement that after you install CWM and want the best and only stock root ROm, install this and flash the updated SU package if you dont have working root
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
Nope,

You flash the ROM via CWM, boot, root works, end of story :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] tn8shooter:
Worked great the first time.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jcpq:
Thanks for the rom's
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] andrewklau:
Does this disable the asus update notifications?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Canadoc:
if we have stock root with this if there are updates for example for the keyboard, will that work? or must we go back entirely back to stock to apply them
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] skydirt:
Hello supercurio,

Sorry for my dumb question, but which build date is your

"repacked-8.4.4.5_US+root-CWR-update.zip" ?

Is it the 8.4.4.5.2-20110603 newer build?

or the older 8.4.4.5.2-201105** build?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xrayt369:
Hmm, I was rooted and had Prime and Magnus running well with each respective flash UNTIL i flashed this Rom which basically pulled my root and put me back ENTIRELY onto stock mode. Now back to rooting it again so i can at least put the Voodoo sound set back onboard. WTF, not happy with vanilla stock roms.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
WTF what, didn't you noticed the thread title ? :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
Reading is fundamental.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] nikh.aurora:
so i can flash this (via cwm) while i have prime and still have root + stock rom??
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
This is a stock rom with root. You don't need this unless you want the stock rom with root added. If your on prime its already using a pretty much stock rom with root. Don't double work your brain. Your good right where your at.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] nikh.aurora:
thanks for clarification

BUT

is Stock Root > Prime 1.5
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
No. Prime is updated and optimized.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] nikh.aurora:
i asked this before but no reply :( so what happens when asus releases updates?

will i get an ota in prime?

or the update will be included in next version of the rom

or both are wrong :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] nicknowsky:
No you will loose ROOT if you update. Just wait for the DEVs to update their ROMs. Im sure Super will be updating the STOCK package also.

Anyways, this OTA isnt important, just ignore it, unless someone finds something with. Rule of thumb, never update or you will lose ROOT. Wait till a flashable package is released
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] n-j-f:
Sorry if this is a silly question. I am currently on Prime 1.5 but would like to go back to stock, but of course keeping root and CWM. I have not found a thread dealing with reverting to stock. If I install Supercurio's 'repacked-8.4.4.5_WW+root-CWR-update.zip', does that mean Prime 1.5 will be removed and I will be back to stock? Is that all I have to do?

TIA

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
Yeah but wipe first. Squeeze your brain.

Thanks!

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] stujuk:
You will need to Mount System first before updating using the zip file.

I do have a question about that update file though...

Is it a modded update that will work on all regions or which region is it for?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] duclicsic:
Didn't work for me, gets a very similar error that I completely failed to record. Will try again later and write it down this time.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] stuntdouble:
Supercurio the 8.4.4.11-update.zip you have put on your server, which build was it ripped from please? WW, US, etc?

EDIT: A few you might not have already (not modified):

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] nicknowsky:
Are u guys updating the Stock+Root ROM or are you trying to update Prime's Rom? Cause it wont work if you are updating from Prime's ROM
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] superevilllama:
Alright.. did that in CWM and tried again. Received same error this time with more info (FYI update seems to be WW version as that came up in the error.. perhaps the reason why I am receiving the error is I have the US version).

getting assert failed ri.build.finerprint... still receiving error -7
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devilpera64:
Someone know if for who have stock + root + CWM this update will avaiable as "workaround" and not official way.? here every ppl that have installed it says that all system is better, also that's only of 15Mb..this is very frustrating...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devilpera64:
From stock + root (for this maybe i have to return also on stock kernel? coz now i'm with netformer 1.5)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] krash183:
Few questions to be answered please. A couldn't find a definite answer. Is the 8.4.4.11 firmware file with root? Or is it a complete stock but just flashable? Also....is I'm running a custom kernel....do I need to flash the stock kernel for it to install correctly.... thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] duclicsic:
I re-flashed the stock 8.4.4.5 WW with root over the top of my old Prime! 1.5 which was still giving me the SoD. Tried flashing the update over that and it errors out. It seems to fail right at the start of the update script, somewhere in:

assert(file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "asus/WW_epad/EeePad:3.1/HMJ37/WW_epad-8.4.4.5-20110527:user/release-keys" ||
file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "asus/WW_epad/EeePad:3.1/HMJ37/WW_epad-8.4.4.11-20110711:user/release-keys");
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "EeePad" ||
getprop("ro.build.product") == "EeePad");

This seems to match up ok with my build.prop which contains:

ro.product.device=EeePad
ro.build.fingerprint=asus/WW_epad/EeePad:3.1/HMJ37/WW_epad-8.4.4.5-20110527:user/release-keys
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] nicknowsky:
No its not that kind of update, I doubt your gonna see any performance boost.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] nicknowsky:
im pretty sure it is WW update, I wouldnt recommend installing if if you have US. There might be something wrong with the repack. YOu might have to completely downgrade to full Stock if your want this update. i havent read of anyone with CWM that has successfully installed this update. Anyways like I just said it isnt a real important update. I heard it had something to do with the WiFi
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Fixter:
I am also in need of this update. Ever since I unrooted I can't seem to receive updates. I also need the dock update because I lost that one too and it has not prompted me to download it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] superevilllama:
The tool to repack these files is also posted on the forums at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1111352

I tried repacking the update using his tool with cygwin on a Windows server, but still received errors. Can anyone else try to repack the US update?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] nicknowsky:
I dont this update will correct any of that
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Fixter:
Yeah. I'm gonna have to nvflash the transformer with the other unrooting method to see if I can get this thing working back to normal again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] krash183:
Do we need to be on stock kernel to flash the 8.4.4.11? also, is the 8.4.4.11 with root? The file doesn't mention it in the name.... any help would be appreciated
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kiama:
Supercurio can you pls help to repackage these 8.4.4.11 updates for rooted users?

US http://www.mediafire.com/?nj4zf138i2vffr5

TW http://www.mediafire.com/?4qh8c42mhye8q6u
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
Use the repackaging tool. Check the first post.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kiama:
If I know how to I wont be asking
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] superevilllama:
Dude... this is the second time you have stated the obvious. Stop it.

Also this is the second request to have someone else assist in repackaging. I have also tried it and posted above that I got errors when running the tool in cygwin. Obviously there are a lot of people unable to update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] usoska:
Hi,

tanks for the stock rooted roms !

I have the same issue than reported before (unable to flash the 8.4.4.7 update .zip even after mounting /system) ... Would be happy if anyone had the trick (WW rom)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
OK I looked at those files linked. They're patch updates not full update roms that's why the tool won't work. Patches needs to be merged individually. I'm guessing full update zips should be made available this week with kernel sources too....

King of the obvious....
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] superevilllama:
K that makes sense. I was wondering if that was what was happening. Its different since this is just a "patch" of sorts instead of a full ROM.

Since it is not a full ROM, would we be able to flash the stock recovery, then flash the update, and flash back to CWM? I don't know if this update would unroot us or not since it is not a full ROM.. I hope it would not. I am debating trying it or not.

EDIT: someone just tried it in another thread.. They said it worked but lost root. Maybe same root method will work to reroot since its still 3.1?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
You will lose root but you could nvflash back to prime easily then flash whatever rom you want to.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] superevilllama:
It was reported in another thread that if you revert to stock recovery, flash the update, and reroot you will be good to go. All your data is still there plus root with the update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Fixter:
Can this be made without a computer? Right now I wont be able to get access to one so I am looking for a way to update to the new firmare without the need of a computer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] superevilllama:
I tried using this tool on my phone but kept getting access denied, even signed in as SU.

Can anyone with a linux box patch the US version of the update and post it? It would help a lot of people here atm.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
I thought the tool is only for linux machines?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] superevilllama:
righhht i was desperate.. hence why I attempted for ****s and giggles if it would work on my phone with a terminal app. It does not. It also does not work with cygwin on a Windows platform. I have Ubuntu at home but thats at home and I am here at work. =]

If someone has Ubuntu or any other flavor of linux, if they could run the single line command to repackage everything for the US users that would be greeeeeat. May not work tho either since it is only an update and not a full rom.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TimD123:
You're right - no worky here. There is no blob.PT or blob.APP so the repack tool provided doesn't work for this update (also don't know if the blob.SOS is important or not). Tried tinkering with the script but the outputted file size is like 4.3 megs and I don't want to brick my Transformer. Guess I'll just have to wait until someone smarter comes along and does it.

Update: I've attached my generated update if there are any brave souls out there who want to give it a go.

NO WARRANTY - IT WILL PROBABLY BRICK YOUR TRANSFORMER!!

The code changes (so you can see how I modified the script and perhaps determine for yourself if this will brick your device) is

log "Blob repacking.."
~/Desktop/project-voodoo-asus_transformer_firmware_repacker-8545df3/blobpack blob.HEADER ../repacked.blob \

zip -r -9 $OUTFILE .
echo

ls -lh `readlink -f $OUTFILE`
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] duclicsic:
Yeah I probably wouldn't install the above attachment considering how much smaller than the original package it is.

I actually tried extracting the contents, fiddling the update script to fix the problem with the build.prop checks, and repackaging/signing for another go. It actually got most of the way through the update before it failed on the installation of the included blob file, possibly because it was trying to copy it to /tmp which I'm not sure exists.

I've restored a backup for now but may have another fiddle with this tonight and report on my progress.

Oh and just to clarify, I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chadster214:
did anyone figure out how to install this update without losing the root?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] duclicsic:
I bugged #asus-transformer and Roach gave me a working CWM recovery image that will update the stock+root 8.4.4.5 WW from this thread to 8.4.4.11. Root is retained, but make sure you have su and busybox installed in /system/xbin before flashing.

And sweet crikey remember to back up before you flash it. This worked fine for me, but I didn't create this so I can only offer my own experience with it as assurance.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] depulle87:
Thanks man I was looking for this
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kingwp1:
Any chance you could do that for the US version?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] duclicsic:
Unfortunately not, as I said I did not create that package.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] derfasaurus:
Alright, my first attempt at any sort of release, not responsible if it messes something up. This is for rooted US Transformers with CWR, should keep root and busybox, I just tried it out with Titanium Backup without issue. (Might work without CWR if you rename the file but I don't know and I'm not going to take the time to test)

Please note, the first boot after applying it will take a while, around 5-10 minutes.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] derfasaurus:
Thank you sir. Please don't forget to backup peoples.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Canadoc:
Since I unrooted to do the update and thus no linger have cwr can I rename this and flash with stock recovery?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] derfasaurus:
I don't think it is properly signed for the normal recovery to install it (although you could try) you'd do better to find the unaltered version or try to make the OTA push. There was a link to just the US OTA file in this topic.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Canadoc:
I want a rooted version though
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] usoska:
Thanks ! Just what I was expecting :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] n-j-f:
This is great! Thanks for bugging them. One thing - I don't get the Powered by NVidia splash screen mentioned in other threads. Just the old one but with the spinning dots. Is that the same for you? Any reason for that?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] duclicsic:
I too get the little spinning dots, no mention of nVidia. I don't know why that is.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kingwp1:
This did not work for me. I received the following error after ClockworkMod mounted the system:

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] derfasaurus:
I got the same thing, don't know how, it's patching the bootanimation.zip file. Sorry, don't know what's going on.

The update does a checksum check on the files it patches, something about your file isn't correct, are you patching 8.4.4.5? Are you using the US Transformer?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chadster214:
i noticed this too.. for some reason the bootanimation.zip.p did not convert to bootanimation.zip.. what we need to have someone extract this from a stock rooted that recieved the OTA.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] derfasaurus:
Yeah, it is very weird because it is patching the bootanimation.zip as can be seen by it swapping out to the spinning dots. Maybe tonight I will restore to factory and run the OTA just to see what comes out and compare the files in each zip.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chadster214:
do you happen to have the US Recovery file? so I can revert back to stock Recovery instead of CWM.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] derfasaurus:
One is linked to here but I don't know if it is the US version or what build version it is: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15772361&postcount=365

Found another one that is the 8.2.3.9 recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14113508&postcount=14
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] derfasaurus:
So after reverting my Transformer to stock and then allowing the OTAs to come through I have found that the "Powered by NVIDIA" logo is not on the loading screen but actually the very first boot screen when you first turn it on, the "EEEPad" screen.

This means my release may not have patched the boot.img file with the latest updates and/or that may be part of the recovery.img file. I'm taking a look to see if mine was missing something but if it is I don't know what step I could have missed.

Okay, I tried to reroot using the new 84411 files, boot.img and recovery.img and all it did was break the transformer, had to restore the old files. Still don't know where the boot screen is hidden.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kingwp1:
Yes and Yes. Regardless, I got updated to 8.4.4.11 using this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178607

It didn't give me anything with nVidia in the loading screen, but I do have the little spinning dots.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chadster214:
I was able to revert back to stock 8.4.4.5.. but I can't get OTA.. any ideas?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] CrazyPeter:
I have removed some unwanted apps from my ROM (Layar for example), can someone guide me on how to update this script to not fail when trying to patch non existant app files?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] derfasaurus:
You'll have to edit the updater-script file in the META-INF/com/google/android folder to remove the checksum checks and extractions for missing software. I'd advise just directly editing in something like WinRar to avoid breaking the rest of the folder structure.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] CrazyPeter:
Thanks, worked perfectly... Now running latest build.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] supercurio:
Hi guys, sorry being late I've been busy and didn't update my Transformer yet.

As you could see the script I wrote is now irrelevant for the new update method.

I'm not convinced either there's a point continuing in this direction as the first idea was really to provide a temporary solution until support is built in Clockworkmod recovery, without the need to repackage everything.
