No luck. Still stuck in the same boot loop.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Flash stock Boot then.

What version was the stock rom you're trying to root?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] spartanhooah:
The most recent OTA update... perhaps a week ago?

I tried going back to the stock Boot using your tool, but it said it couldn't find /images/stock/us/8.4.4.11/boot.img. The right version of this file is the one from the OP, right? If not, where can I find it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
That is the root version, but you can try that one.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] apols:
Yea, mine is brand new with the latest version of the firmware and is completely screwed in the same manner. Please post updates if you're able to fix it.

Edit: Accidentally hit the up key while trying to reboot and wiped my user data. Still doing the boot loop thing. I can't seem to get it to go back into APX mode at this point. I hold volume up and power until I hear the windows driver sound, but it never shows up in my Device Manager.

Edit2: Guess I should have read the whole thread before attempting to do this. I can't seem to get it to do anything except to hang at the splash screen, wipe user data or attempt to reboot into recovery. I installed root and CWM using the OP's method, now APX mode doesn't work at all and the thing appears totally bricked. This sucks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Q.Entity:
There is a sticky with an debrick...

Skickat från min ASUS Eee Pad TF101
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] apols:
That sticky would be very helpful if the APX mode still worked. I can't even get it into there, as I detailed in earlier responses. It's the same problem the other guy was having. He hasn't been back on yet, so I don't know if he ever found a solution.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
I just bricked my TF- it would stay stuck on the splash screen. I'll test if the nvflash restore works!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] apols:
from another thread, but figured it would be helpful here:

So it looks like I fixed mine.

I downloaded the stock images here: http://tabletroms.com/forums/showthr...=9968#post9968

I copied boot.img, recovery.img and system.img to the nflashtf root from the download i got from the OP (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1123429&page=1) . 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).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] apols:
DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU'RE ALREADY AT 8.4.4.11. You WILL brick your shiny new tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
yeah, but it's just a soft brick :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] spartanhooah:
^^What he said, basically.

I don't think it will permanently brick it. I did it and was worried because I couldn't get out of APX mode (not that I could before I tried the commands), but I followed the tabletroms instructions (really just running a batch command) and it worked great.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] boglwe:
Do you have a link to that tabletrons instructions?

Oh. Hmm. Sorry, but I'm only able to follow others' instructions. Wish I could help you!

Trouble with CWM (root ok)

Followed instructions step-by-step...

I am running 8.4.4.11 and successfully have root.

However, even though I run the CWM.bat file and it completes properly, when I try to boot into recovery mode I am stuck at "Booting recovery kernel image", with the logos on the screen. It never boots into CWM.

Any ideas?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mvaughn12:
I've been having this same issue and was hoping someone would explain this issue also
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Ghisy:
I just realized I didn't even use the boot_ww_84411.zip file and everything worked. I'm not sure what fw was running my TF when I got it though (got it used and settings showed "3.1", maybe it was 8.4.4.5 then and I got lucky).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Tutti-frutti:
For all people having trouble to get CWM/Root running on their TF running up to and including the latest 8.4.4.11.

Coming from original 8.4.4.11 OTA. I tried to root it and get CWM using this thread. I've used the batch tool from brk (here). Seems to have rooted my device, but I was unable to get CWM to work (while it did flash it succesfully, it won't boot into recovery).

Eventually, the most easy method to get your device rooted with working CWM, whatever rom you are currently running, is to just use the NVflash 1-click does it all solution by adroidroot.mobi: click.

Then, just flash your first/favourite rom using CWM. That's all.

(This method removes all data)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
That will work, but it kinda defeats the purpose of the pure root method, which is root with the stock rom.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] apols:
Try APX Mode again and don't look for it under "other devices". Since you've already installed the driver, you should see a Nvidia mobile something device show up under your USB controllers section of the Device Manager
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ticktock:
All you need to do, is download the appropriate boot.img for your device from the first post and overwrite the included one in the tf_rootkit_31\root folder then run root.bat again.... Rooted.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] boglwe:
OK a few things peeps (like me) might have missed:

First, some peeps are saying they cant get to APX mode. I noted on WIn 7 64 that the APX in Device manager might not show up even though the drivers are installed and working. I was in APX mode the whole time and never knew because for some reason, the NVflash was shutting down my sound card drivers (so I could not hear that sound to note something plugged into my USB)... weird.. In anyways, using NV flash to un (temp) brick my TS was simple and then once to stock rom at ...4.4.5 I then did this (meaning the method in this thread) method and I am rooted with SU installed and also CWM working fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dallastx:
root with latest "us" firmware

I want to keep the latest firmware "US" and root without loosing anything! I tried this method and um.....yea it bricked my tablet! Took me forever to un brick. The NVFLASH posted on XDA was not packaged right "but thats another story" So anyway to root without bricking with the latest firmware "us" ???? :) <---yes i read the entire thread and didnt read anything that at least 5 people said "oh that worked perfectly" ...its either bricked, CWM dosent work, had to add extra files to the zip that should already have them, or just plain "yes" or "endless stories about adx mode"

Good directions with any files i need to add "for latest "US" firmware would be kindly appreciated!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ifly4vamerica:
Thanks for this, just rooted my second Transformer with no problems at all. Great write up.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cmelby:
Bricked mine too. Win7. However, when I followed the directions I missed the first one that, I think, says copy the boot.img into root folder resulting from extraction of boot_us_84411.zip. Probably my mistake, but I'm not going to try again and risk re-bricking.

BTW, unbricked by following Return to stock 3.1 post in this forum from Albert Wertz for windows.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dallastx:
Let me know if that works after you done all your OTA updates all the way to 84411 and re-rooted with the missing step......I might of missed that step as well...i don't remember
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] HuskerWebhead:
I just ran through this and it worked great for the most part. Only problem I'm having is with part 6 when trying to update CWM. I get into recovery and to "install zip from sdcard" but it doesn't show any directories or files on my sdcard. Anyone else see this before and know what I need to do to get CWM to see the files on my sdcard?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mashi:
did you get cwm works ?

all command is run inside root directory.

backup original recovery :

nvflash.exe --bct transformer.bct --setbct --configfile flash.cfg --bl bootloader.bin --odmdata 0x300d8011 --sbk 0x1682CCD8 0x8A1A43EA 0xA532EEB6 0xECFE1D98 --read 5 tf_recovery.img --go

install cwm :

nvflash.exe --bct transformer.bct --setbct --configfile flash.cfg --bl bootloader.bin --odmdata 0x300d8011 --sbk 0x1682CCD8 0x8A1A43EA 0xA532EEB6 0xECFE1D98 --download 5 recovery.img --go

in case it didn't work. just go back to apx mode and restore original recovery.

restore original recovery:

nvflash.exe --bct transformer.bct --setbct --configfile flash.cfg --bl bootloader.bin --odmdata 0x300d8011 --sbk 0x1682CCD8 0x8A1A43EA 0xA532EEB6 0xECFE1D98 --download 5 tf_recovery.img --go
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] techbeck:
Ok, I did the steps and it said the update was successful on the transformer. So I restarted it and now it just gets stuck on the Eee Pad screen and doesnt go any further. Been about 5 minutes so far. Does it take longer to boot the first time?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cubitusclaudius:
I réel like you. If I had a 8.4.4.11 version, I would return to 8.4.4.5 before rooting, as it worked for most people

I unrooted mine before 8.4.4.11 so I cannot confirm if it's possible or not.

From the older firmware, I can assure you that root and CWM work fine, as I did it from a US transformer.

So, returning back to order firmware would be the best, after all I read.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] paddy01:
No, there should be no change in the time it takes to boot up.

Did you unzip the correct boot.img into the root folder ?

There seem to be a lot of people having issues with this one step in the process. If you didn't redo it with the correct boot.img and it should boot up normally again. If not try to find a unmodified stock boot.img and put that in instead to see if you're able to boot it up still.. and if so start all over again :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] koj012:
I have updated the image and rerooted to 8.4.4.11. However "Set DNS" app tells me that the device is not rooted. Tested with other dns apps with the same results. And I can't change the dns setting.

Anyone can help???

mmm. seems the root is not working even with the superuser icon. I have installed titanium backup and it shows device not rooted as well.....

Question, do I need to unroot and reroot for the new update to take effect???
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] paddy01:
Did you do all the steps ?

aka. nvflahed in 8.4.4.11 boot.img and send in su/superuser with adb ?

(root.bat + root_app.bat)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] koj012:
yes, I did that....

dunno whu it did not work for me. superuser icon is there, but no root...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] amm009uk:
I'm sorry haven't had a chance to read further posts may be someone or you have already fixed it...

After the root.bat don't do a reboot, do the cwm.bat assuming you want clockworkmod. After this reboot make sure to turn on usb debugging then do the root_app.bat.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Coroner:

I don't understand what I'm supposed to do with commands like:

That's what I mean when I said "bricked." It just stuck at the Eee Pad screen.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cmelby:
Tried method again. Got blinking Eee Pad screen. Tried CWM restore.

And I just redid it, including copying boot.img to root directory this time, and I get a BLINKING Eee Pad screen that doesn't go any further.

Maybe because I was on 8.4.4.5 (or whatever), and this is 8.4.4.11 (or whatever)?

I then was able to get into CWM, and now I'm trying to Restore a backed-up rooted Prime 1.6 OS from an earlier Transformer.

This method, so far, has not been even close to as easy as the earlier method using the blob. That one was more complicated in steps, but it worked first time out.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] amm009uk:
It sounds like you may have used the wrong 84411 zip to update the rootkit directory cause I had same problem.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cmelby:
Checking on which directory is "root"

Sorry for perhaps a stupid question.

When you write "root folder" do you mean /tf_rootkit_31 or /tf_rootkit_31/root ?

I put boot.img into tf_rootkit_31/root, and the root process did not work, and I ended up with a blinking Eee Pad screen.

Maybe if I was supposed to put boot.img into /tf_rootkit_31 the method would have been successful?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cmelby:
Restore through CWM failed

The attempt to restore the backed up rooted Prime through CWM failed. I just got back to the blinking Eee Pad screen.

Restore back to stock 3.1 as before.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] paddy01:
I meant /tf_rootkit_31/root

Maybe you used the wrong boot.img by misstake ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mashi:
did you use the cwm from original post.. for 8.4.4.5 ?

Transformer Root for DE ???

Has anyone testet this root method for De Version (not US, TW, WW) ??

I want to root my TF, but I am unsure, if it will work. I don´t want to brick my TF :(

Why I wanna root it? Cause my TF can´t access Adhoc Network by my X10mini (Tethering) and I read, after rooting the TF will be able to enter this network.

It would be great, if anyone can verify, this manual for rooting Asus TF is working for DE version too.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] techbeck:
What a pain in the ass. First off, I messed up and bricked my device. So make sure you follow the instructions. Then I get everything back to stock, install the 84411 update and then get to the point where I wanted to root my device.

So I followed the instructions in the Op but CWM never EVER would install. In fact, took a couple times to figure out the cwm.bat was also messing up the stock recovery and that was useless. Root.bat worked just fine.

Anyway, ended up loading Prime 1.4 via nvflash and that worked great. I am now rooted, CWM installed.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] HuskerWebhead:
Not sure if this'll help anyone or not, but I got stuck at the Eee screen as well the first time I tried rooting. My mistake was not copying the root.img from the boot_us_84411.zip file to the "tf_rootkit_31\root" directory. I re-ran the root process from the beginning with the correct file in the root directory and everything came up fine for me after that.

Looks like the CWM is still giving people issues. Just skip the CWM step if you're getting stuck on the boot screen. Use titaniumbackup/nvflash for recovery instead.
