Yes I received it two days ago. It came with hc 3.0.1 build 8.2.3.9

Green seals. So you think NVflash is good? Maybe I will have to try that. And howz the prime 1.4 rom?

Thx
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
nvflash will work for you. Prime is fast
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] VaderChen:
I checked up the usb host information.

When I used Power + Vol up to get into APX, I read the usb info.

And I got "usb\vid0000&pid_0000" with my eeepad.

So I can't install the driver correctly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] vikdmon:
Thx..

Now I ran NVflash w/out the Rom files in its base dir. Did I mess up??

I just run the download.bat again with the rom files in the directory ?

Edit: That seemed to work.. whew!

This is an awesome tool,it enabled me to get rooted with clockworkmod installed on 3.1 honeycomb for prime 1.4.Now i need to get a custom overclock kernel.I guess i can try setcpu app.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Diablo67:
Yes unzip the tar file and put the system,boot and recovery files on the root of the NVFlash folder,then run the download bat.

Hi Guys,

Just got my transformer for a day. Some things are not completly clear for me. I read all the 195 posts, lots of things have become clear but:

Is it possible to only root my transformer and NOT flash a new ROM?

If yes, does that mean I can run nvflash without the ROM folder?

Sorry for this noob question, I once had a phone I tried to flash and I bricked it almost. I learned to have all the answers before flashing, so I know exactly what I am doing. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mr.stylo:
Yes, this is possible. Just look on that Thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125714

The nvflash install prime and cwm recover, after that you can flash any rom you like such as the 3.1 pure root. You could also use the older method of pushing blob

Hi,

Is there images (system.img, recovery.img and boot.img) for nvflash to restore Asus legacy firmware (WW) ?

My Eee Pad is semi-bricked, touchscreen unresponsive (first battery drain for less than 10 minutes, other battery drain fails to restore the touchscreen). I tried prime 1.5 and tranformer roms, I hoped for that rom fix the problem.

Now, the only solution is the rma but there's problem I'm under Prime rom, I have access to CWM or ADB to restore an Asus rom...

I need this files or any solution to restore the original rom and recovery.

Thanks to help me, I spend 4 full days with no results.

actually i fixed the problem ... i didn't download the "Prime ROM"
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ewitte:
Hope the nvflash stock works less than 24 hours and touchscreen not responding issue :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] threev:
Not quite there

So I downloaded NVFlash and the ROM, unpacked it, installed the drivers for APX, etc, watched the video 3 times and all I get when I hit the download.bat file is a quick black screen with the CMD lines for a few seconds then it goes away, never completing the install. TF sits there and has the "entering NVFlash..." dialogue but nothing happens. I let it sit for 20 mins and it still didn't get going. When I click download.bat again, another CMD window pops up and says NVFlash started but nothing happens.

I am doing this because I ran out of ideas to get the black screen of death problem fixed. It refuses to come on. At least this gets the screen on but I can't get it going. I read the whole thread and apparently no one else has this issue.

Ideas?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mr.stylo:
Have you copied the three .img files from the rom into the root of the NVFlash-folder?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] threev:
Yes. I changed computers and re-downloaded with the same issue too.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Unheard:
Had some confusion myself with that, just power cycle the TF. It will go right back into APX then you can run the bat again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] threev:
I can't power cycle it really. I can hold down power + vol up and restart it, sort of, but that's it. I can't boot it at all. Going on 24 hours now with the black screen I can't seem to get rid of.

I can't believe how tolerant people are of this problem. This is totally unacceptable. If I had bought it in a store I would have brought it back by now for sure. Sending it back online is a pain in the a$$ so I am trying to fix it, with no luck.

And now I can't even get this to work, as easy as it should be.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devilpera64:
What have you done? it's simply! :D also for me that i'm noob was simple...for first link tablet to PC and hold volume Up + ON. After enter in Device Manager and find APX (with yellow triangle) and click on proprieties -> Update drivers ->select the folder of Nvflash on desk and wait the process. After enter in the same folder and click Download.bat (it will open DoS Prompt and show all progresses). Finally Tablet will reboot automatically.

I've some problems installing Prime 1.4 with this method, so i refleshed Stock Rom with same method and after i use Nvflash for apply root access, CWM and Superuser on it. After i used CWM for change Kernel and WPA_Supplicant and overclocked it to 1.6Ghz. So That's it!! :cool:

What's problem? mah..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] threev:
I did all of those things. I am sure I am doing everything right, honestly went over it 60 times in two days. All the standard stuff you are saying, I have done, numerous times, on two different computers, with multiple versions of each file. I love tech challenges because you learn a lot troubleshooting, but this is enough now.

I cannot believe how tolerant everyone is of this black screen problem with this tablet. I didn't see even one review that included this and I can't believe Asus hasn't completely fixed it with updates. I am so mad to have to return this and debate getting a new one or a different tablet all together. I just got it and waited a few months to get it so it is especially annoying.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Unheard:
When you are @ the black screen, hold the power ONLY for 10 seconds or so. You should here windows lose the device then redetect it, and you should see the APX driver in device manager on the PC. The screen will remain black. Once there, re-run NVFlash. That should fix your issue.

Also, how is this ASUS's problem?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] threev:
Listen, this is terribly obvious advice to fix this problem. You think I haven't done this? Really? You think I have had the black screen for 2 days and didn't hold down the power and have it redetect? Come on, dude.

How is this their problem? They have a new piece of equipment with a major problem which I have never seen with any piece of electronics ever. Yeah, it's the user's issue...Asus should just ride this one out. This will affect the future of all my purchases of Asus electronics.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pilotbluemike:
its clearly not an ASUS problem, you knowingly voided your warranty when attempting to root the TF... sorry it didnt work, but nvflash unbricks, not bricks the TF. There must have been some user error somewhere..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fliparsenal:
Hey guys,

I'm about ready to make the jump and root. However I'm still not sure if this will wipe all memory off the transformer. Is it safe for me to try this without losing installed memory?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devilpera64:
Today you haven't wipe all data..use Nvflash only for apply Root, CWM and Superuser on the Stock Honeycomb on your device. (Read Pure Root on the main page). After using CWM you can change kernel with your best choice :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] threev:
I tried to root BECAUSE OF Asus's problem. I was fine running stock, for now at least, until I had a black screen (that apparently hundreds of users have) that I could not get rid of. Pay attention before commenting.

In any event, this is going back. Good job, Asus, for losing a customer of 15 years.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] idlefrog:
I am sorry to hear you are having these problems, I know it must be very frustrating.

However, you say have been buying Asus products for 15 years and therefore I assume you have been happy with them in the past. Now you have had the bad luck to have bought one that is faulty and for you that negates 15 years of the good experiences you have had. That seems pretty unreasonable to me.

All manufacturers make mistakes occasionally. It is how they handle their mistakes that counts. You haven't even given them opportunity to let them fix or replace it yet. It isn't Asus's fault that you chose to buy mail order rather than from a store making returns difficult for you. Everyone knows that buying mail order is less convenient when faults occur.

I hope you get you issue fixed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gametime69:
I believe when you unpack the file it has the WW version of the HC 3.1 , I was very fustrated also until I downloaded the US version of Nvflash and then it worked like a charm. I am not so sure if im fully rooted because SU does not say im rooted.??
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
Download any app that require root like Titamium Backup or AdFree, run it and you'll know if you have root or not
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
I did something like this using the 3.1 pure root method- there is a thread in the dev forum. Essentially, i combined the nvflash unbrick method in this thread, but with the configuration files from the pure root method. I also removed the system.img file so it wouldn't flash. I think the nvflash syntax might be off a little, but it flashes the boot and recovery partitions. Right now, i have stock kernel and a stock rooted 3.1 HC.

It was a little tougher because I had to set up to set up the drivers manually in Ubuntu. Here's a hint- the TF has a different vendor id in APX mode than it does when it's in adb mode. Also, the product id is different from 3.01 to 3.1, altough this shouldn't affect too many people because who specs out the product id anyway?

Edit: the 3.1 pure root guide is for windows. I didn't do anything new, besides run it in Ubuntu.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] shiodooru:
Any word on the quick root technique for getting stock rooted without losing anything?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
Here's the no-click* root method that will give you root with the stock rom and stock kernel. It's similar to the nvflash method, but it doesn't flash system.img. I did something like this with 3.1. You might also want to install busybox and terminal from the market afterwards.

* no click method only if you run everything from the command line

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] aatrek:
Before I wreck things, will this work with the OTA update that came out last week? Or should I downgrade my Transformer to prior firmware (or to 3.0?)?

This process just roots and installs CWM, right? Does it automatically install the PRIME! rom? I have a US Transformer, and there's a note in the OP that it's for the WW version only - I just don't want to break my device before I start!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Proz00:
hey i did it and my tablet dont turn on now :S
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Bavarianguy:
Thats because you forgot to unzip the Prime 1.5-rom. Its kinda tricky, you have to unzip the rom twice :D. When you unzip it, there will be 3 files:

- boot.img

- system.img

- recovery.img

You have to place them directly into the NVFlashTF-folder. Then run download.bat again ;).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] tru2life:
Searched for these but I can find them or what to unzip to get them. I downloaded the prime 1.5 and 1.6 but can't find these files.

- boot.img

- system.img

- recovery.img

You have to place them directly into the NVFlashTF-folder.

I'm rooted.

Another successful story. Mine was OTA to 8.4.4.11 (US version), and was rooted using nvflash with Prime 1.4 WW ROM in 15 minutes.

Key thing is to make sure the Prime 1.4 is fully unzipped to 3 .img files, and those 3 files are put into the root of nvflash folder.

Now running Prime 1.6, and my TF is much more responsive than stock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] leno_walker:
You are missing the Prime 1.4 files. Go back to the previous threads, and you'll be able to fine a tar file.

Make sure to unzip the tar file, and you should have 3 img files. Put them into nvflash folder, and run the download.bat again.

Good lunck.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] leno_walker:

Does anyone konw how to get rid the of the PC like boot screen after nvflashed the TF. I kind of missed the old Asus logo image.

Please advise.

download it's slow ....
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] DLuke77:

Now i have to understand how instrall cmw and flash 1.6 but i have done some week ago so i have only to find the right post
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NoctMonster:
a little help here, i bricked it doing the pure 3.1 root and i try using this NVflash, but when i try to make the TF go into apx mode it wont do anything,

UPDATE: I was able to finally get it to APX mode by using another computer and holding the 3 buttons all together.

Another question though, can I install the revolver rom right away? or do i need to flash something else?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zephiK:
If the Revolvery rom has a .tar.bz2 you can. If it doesn't then just download the .tar.bz2 in OP post with PRIME 1.4. Install that, download the Revolver ROM in .zip.

After you do the NVFlash process and Android has loaded, boot into Clockwork Recovery and flash Revolver. No wipe needed but hey since you don't have anything on your ROM. Might as well wipe to be safe right?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] scottch699:
Ok all I am STUCK... I am following the video steps to the "T" and I am coming up with some different files than what is shown on the video. I do not have the files AT ALL that are shown. However I get 3 folders listed as follows with numerous other files in them. 1. META-INF 2. System 3. usbpcdriver

This is after I follow the steps to extract the nv flash onto my desktop THEN extract the prime 1.4 files into that folder like shown on the video and I come up with what is listed above. I have downloaded the WW version and the US version to have the same results. I am running Windows 7 home prem and I have all the asus drivers installed properly.

Is there something I am doing wrong here? OR should I just skip to the 1.6 prime rom and try it with that?

Any answers would be GREAT!

All I want is the 3 damn files like in the video. Is that to much to ask?

EDIT..... OMG I did it! I think I held my breath through the whole damn thing. I need a beer now. ..... Next.... try and flash the 1.6 rom .... more learning to do.

I downloaded the stock images here: http://tabletroms.com/forums/showthread.php?1071-Factory-3.1-NVFlash-Recovery-Roms&p=9968#post9968

I copied boot.img, recovery.img and system.img to the nflashtf root from the download i got from the OP. Instead of running his batch file, I ran his commands so I could see what was actually going on during each step:

"nvflash.exe --bct transformer.bct --setbct --configfile flash.cfg --bl bootloader.bin --odmdata 0x300d8011 --sbk 0x1682CCD8 0x8A1A43EA 0xA532EEB6 0xECFE1D98 --sync

nvflash.exe -r --download 6 boot.img"

It booted successfully! What a stressful day trying to get this thing working again. The whole reason I wanted to root it was so I could have ssh access in the event of another screen failure (my first one died).
