Glad I could help, I got a crash course in recovery and nvflash today. Looks like it happened just in time, as I'm on my third rum and coke of the evening!

edit: one thing: the firmware is old on that link I gave you, and it appears as though the TF will not find the latest version by itself. Another poster has recommended updating to the latest version on Asus' website manually ( http://support.asus.com/download.as...101&p=20&s=16&os=32&hashedid=gHh4q7I8dvWJzhdV ), and then it can supposedly check for the latest version (8.4.4.11).

If I can get it back to the state it was in when I got it yesterday, I'm going to hold off for a few weeks to let the root method mature...

edit2: manual update procedure http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF101/Update_Launcher_SOP_WW.pdf

edit 3: Still never got an OTA notice, so I manually updated to 8.4.4.11 using the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1171116

But touch screen is not working...Yea im on my 3rd patron on the rocks...Is your touch screen working?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] apols:
Touch screen is working without issue... wish I had some info to share in that regards, but I have not run into that issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] spartanhooah:
Am I supposed to reboot before downloading the boot.img? I did, and now the command prompt window is sitting at [resume mode].

Tried not rebooting in between, and that seemed to work better (two "phone successfully updated" messages), but I'm STILL stuck in APX mode. Is there no way to just forcibly rewrite the whole damn device?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
you're almost there!

Yes, there is no reboot between the commands. After writing the boot.img, just hold down the power button for 10+ seconds and it should reboot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] spartanhooah:
I just ended up using the nvflash method from the link that guy got the images from, and it worked like a charm. Thanks anyway! Now to re-root, run TB to get everything back, and try to get CWM working for real this time. All this trouble just to watch Netflix on my tablet!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] apols:
Be careful with re-rooting. I ended up in this situation simply because I was trying to root the latest firmware. If you followed my links fully, you're also at the latest firmware. Let them figure it out before risking bricking your 400 paper weight. I'm not confident in my abilities to convince HHGregg that I have a second failed tablet within the last 2 days...

I feel your pain.. MY touch screen stop working to.

I ran the bat file with prime files and once completed the touch screen stop working.

Here is a logcat

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mexicanomike:
SO after reviewing my own logcat I found two things that talk about Touchscreen:

I/InputReader( 149): Device added: id=1, name='elantech_touchscreen', sources=0x00003503

Now if only I know what they mean... any ideas???
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mexicanomike:
Well Touch Screen started working again after I ran an ota 8.4.4.11 update. Guess I should cancel my RMA.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Tistitus:

ok guys, i'm a perfect noob in android. please, help needed. :o

my target would be: to get a rooted device with clockworkmod recovery maintaining the factory rom

what i'll do: follow the op and flash the nvflash (just the attached nvflash.zip, and NO custom rom)

question: will my asus device be rooted, will i get clockworkmod recovery?

thank you.

do you mean to say you got the OTA update? or did you flash it manually?

cause i am having problems with ota after returning to stock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mexicanomike:
I received the ota update on my device.. took about two hours or so after I flashed back to stock using nflash.. but instead of using prime files I downloaded the 8.4.4.5 stock rom from asus site then extracted the blob using blob tools. Which then produced recovery.img, system.img, and boot.img. Had help from mammon at bonsaigeeks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deeren:
so basically, you extracted system.img,boot.img and recovery.img from the 8.4.4.5 rom and placed them in the nvflash directory. then you ran download.bat. Am i right? Did you have to reconfigure something else? such as the flash.cfg partition table?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] robot_agenda:
this totally saved my brick from a failed attempt at rooting.

thank you for this!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Eutherin:
Can you post this to a less terrible mirror site? They wont let me complete the download, so the end of the rar is ALWAYS corrupt, and it makes me wait half an hour between downloads, This is just plain aggrevating after 4 attempts.

Also, my tablet will not boot into any mode, if i try recovery it just sits there saying booting recovery kernel image, if i try and start it normally it just sits there at the Eee Pad Asus Nvidia splash screen, and it does that when i try to boot it into ADX mode.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mexicanomike:
You are correct! I did not have to reconfigure anything at all. Once I received the 8.4.4.11 update all my problems went away.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Aedan762:
This saved me from the 3.2 update bricking my Transformer... I've been reading forums all day and haven't seen another bricked device from the 3.2 update. But yeah, totally rebooted just fine after getting the update... then just bootlooped for like an hour...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Amber-Willow:
Hmm. this doesnt seem to work for me. I've installed the driver, and see it on my device manager without problems.

when i run the batch file though, i get the following:

Z:\R11 android-sdk-windows\nvflashtf>"nvflash.exe" --bct transformer.bct --setbc
t --configfile flash.cfg --create --bl bootloader.bin --odmdata 0x300d8011 --sbk

Nvflash started
rcm version 0X4
Command send failed (usb write failed)

Now from what research i've done they say the sbk key might be wrong?

If i try a second time straight after it says usb device not found, does it turn off after the first try?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deeren:
You need to be on apx mode to use this.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Amber-Willow:
I'm probably missing something stupid here but:

i powered it up holding the vol up button. I had the APX unknown device, and updated the driver to show: "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices", which shows as working in the category of Universal Serial Bus Controllers.

I believe i'm in APX mode, but if not, please tell me what i'm doing wrong ;)

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] philseven:

can you use this method on the new 3.2 update?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Amber-Willow:
some additional info:

I'm on a 64 bit system. i remember there being some problems with that, but i can't seem to find reference to it here

And after running download.bat, the device disappears from the device manager. it does not appear after just unplugging/replugging the usb cable, so it has reached the tablet, and brought it to a different state (in which it can't be accessed at all anymore)

had some problems myself but the download in this link is a nvflash with stock rom files included and works like a charm the very first time I tried it ( this will solve yoyr problem when having the : ''could not find (missing file here)''

edit :

A small hint for people with problems try to open a cmd prompt and then excecute the download file, this way the window stays open after having the error so you can see what is going wrong and post the error here.

in windows :

- go to downloaded folder

- press shift and than right mouse click

- click ''open command prompt here''

- type ''download.bat''

you will now see where the program went wrong and you can post it here, good luck

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gf_gollum:
OK - I used the NVFlash utility on Win 7 x64 from this thread to happily get root on stock 3.1 - I didn't install any other ROM

I (foolishly?) accepted the OTA 3.2 upgrade today - and I have (of course) lost root.

However - I cannot get root back again by re-running the same process I tried before.

Is this the same issue that others are having (all these Linux script diversions are confusing me (noobie))

Will the NVFlash GUI tool be updated to accomodate rooting 3.2?

Thx

Help please! :(

Well I managed to brick my EEE...not your fault, but I could use some assistance because I'm stuck!

I was on Clemsyn and Prime 1.6. Wanted to return to stock 3.1 unrooted so I could get the OTA update. Downloaded the NVFlash package in the first post of this thread, attached the EEE in APX mode, ran download.bat.

Download.bat ended in an error saying that it couldn't find recovery.img, and since then the EEE won't boot (although I can get it into APX mode).

Any ideas where I can find the three img files? Or is there some way to bypass that completely?

Thanks very very much in advance! :)

Formatting partition 2 BCT FAILED

I successfully flashed the transformer using the files at the begging of the thread and the device worked fine for a week. This morning it booted to a password screen which I never set. I booted to recovery and performed a wipe/factory reset and still got the password screen. I can get into apx and when I try to re-run the process it fails when trying to format partition 2 BCT. Am I hosed or is there anything else I can try?

Thanks for any help.

That's APX mode. You're good to go.

I did a search for this question but haven't found an unambiguous answer, so here goes. If it was actually already answered, I apologize.

1. I know it will do a system wipe (factory reset, etc etc) but will it wipe my data on the sdcard? (nevermind apps, I just want to know about the sdcard)

2. The guide and video show the download.bat installing prime 1.4, by first copying the Prime 1.4 files into the nvflash directory. What happens if I don't copy the Prime files or any other ROM files?

Thanks!

10 min root

Hi guys,

picked one of these up yesterday, but as I am working in china, I picked it up here at a local Asus supplier.. so on the learning curve now for rooting it..

this is what I have "had" on out of the "about tablet"

MN:TF101

AD Version:3.1

GPS Version: V1.32

Vlan: V5.1.50

Bluetooth: V6.17

Kernal : 2.6.36.3-00011-g3eb19ecanddroid@mercury#1

Build: HMJ37.CN_epad-8.4.4.11-20110711 (which I say is telling me.. chinese version of the build withe the date of the build)

Dock version: EP101-0209

As i want it to be more like the US version, would it be safe to go with the US

as at the moment, I got this horrible

chinese market thing going and no log in to my usual Google market and or accounts so a rooted pad for me is a must..

after much reading today and watching the Youtube video on this method..

i can happily safely say..

no more then 10 mins and I am rooted and got all the googies that i should have.. great work.. love to the Dev's..

edit:looking at over clocking now.. yippe.. anyone one flashed this yet?

Help!

Mine goes through the formatting and then fails when it starts pushing files, why? Do i need something other than just nvflash?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Jeezimus:
Yes, if you go to the site and watch the video it explains it in further detail and includes the additional files needed.

Basically, NVFlash does not include the boot, recovery, and system img files that you need without unpacking the other file provided. The additional file will also push the prime v1.4 ROM to your tablet, but will achieve root and also will install cwm, so it's very easy to change if you'd like.

Just did this myself after "bricking" from another method so super satisfied!

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Jeezimus:
Just to be clear, you are using the boot, system, and recovery files from the prime1.4 TAR file provided on the other website linked in OP correct? And you placed them in the directory with your NVFlash download.bat filelocated in it? My cmd prompt closed exactly where you are describing it when i was running nvflash without the files for prime 1.4 unpacked correctly

Also, roach has posted a new tar file for prime1.7 which you should be able to flash using nvflash, which should also unbrik your tablet. Maybe give that a try. Unpack the entire tar into your nvflash directory.
