Tips to get it to work

First, I see lots of posts about people getting stuck on the Asus boot up screen after applying root.bat. I had the same thing happen and realized I didn't place the new boot.img and recovery.img for 84411 in the correct folder (I was already on 8.4.4.11. I placed them into \tf_rootkit_31\root, put the Transformer into APX mode, ran root.bat again, and it booted up fine.

Next, since I also ran cwm.bat, I was having the same problems as other posters with CWM (the error list mentioned above, unable to update CWM, and unable to flash anything). I followed this advice and everything worked. Very easy.

Just download the above file, change the name to recovery.img, and replace the recovery.img in tf_rootkit_31\root. I then went back into APX mode, reran root.bat and cwm.bat.

I've now flashed Prime 1.6 and Netflix patch. Cheers to everyone has provided the material and the help. Good luck to the rest.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Pete720:
Ok I managed to fix it myself by using nvflash and watching the Prime 1.4 video. My Transformer is alive again. I am working on taking it to Prime 1.6. 2 things:

1. Nevermind, I figured it out :)

2. Exactly what files do I need to put into nvflash to take my Transformer back to out of the box fresh?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] spartanhooah:
I've asked before in this thread but wasn't able to get an answer, just other people having the same problem.

I just (re-)rooted and installed cwm using the steps in the OP, but when I hold down+power to turn on my Transformer, I only see something different from just power for MAYBE a half-second, then it goes right on with the normal booting procedure. What have I done wrong, and how can I fix it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] maslingc:
Correction as well. After applying Prime 1.6 I can't get into recovery or even do a normal boot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] amokoma:
Thanks, I did this and everything seemed to have worked fine, but when I start the TF with VOL_DOWN, there is the message, something like "Checking for RCK...press VOL_UP in 5 sec to enter RCK". The next message is "Press VOL_UP to execute or VOL_DOWN to cancel wiping data"... ok VOL_UP wipes user data... (good for me, I had a Titanium backup ;) ) and VOL_DOWN boots into HC.

Am i doing something wrong?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cubitusclaudius:
Mazbe you should hold the buttons a little longer. the same happened to me with stock rom rooted, and insisting a little more, I had the message to push vol+
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] spartanhooah:
Holding it longer than expected let me choose to boot into recovery, but now I just have a big outlined android with a yellow triangle + exclamation mark in it. Does that mean cwm didn't install properly?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] maslingc:
Need to press volume up on the first message to get into recovery. See my above messsage though, I experienced boot loops once I flashed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] amokoma:
When I do that, it says "Booting recovery kernel image" and the ASUS/NVIDIA boot screen appears and HC boots.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cubitusclaudius:
I think so, but not expert.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] amokoma:
I don't know what went wrong, but I got it working now...

I did this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106587 but without the GingerbreakBB part (cause I pure rooted before). That got CWM running in the old version, but I got stuck with the ASUS logo. I updated CWM, same thing, put Prime 1.6 on and it worked like a charm.

USB Driver install on Windows 7 64bit

Hey guys,

I downloaded the USB drivers from the Asus support site. Effectively a bunch of .inf and .cat files.

I'm probably missing the obvious here, however I cannot for the life of me install them! I've installed Asus Sync and PC Suite, but it's the USB drivers I'm worried about.

Any suggestions please as I'm sure I'm doing something wrong here :-)

Thanks,

Batch Script tf_rootkit_31

Hi all,

I've created a batch script, using mashi original scripts and some others, that makes rooting transformer more user friendly.

I added some other functionalities, like backing up current (or stock) boot and recovery, and also scripts for install busybox, install stock boot or(unroot) and stock recovery (you need this for install OTA updates).

As is usual, use this at your own risk. You can open the script to see what it does (there are no tricks here). If you find a bug please report it.

There's a file missing in the zip, because my transformer is ww, I need someone to provide stock US boot.img (place it in images/stock/us/8.4.4.11 folder). Since there as been some confusion about this file, this is only necessary for putting your pad to stock. When someone provides this file I'll update thezip file.

Unzip the file into a new directory, because I've changed folder names and file paths. Double click "Pure.Root.3.1.bat" file and follow the menus.

Read first post or select About/FAQ option in menu for instructions, because you still have to install USB drivers and ADB.

Updated version available V3:

Changelog:

- fix paths for nvflash

- fix command for busybox install

- fix CMW install bug

- fix path for backup files.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Ellerbestyle:
I was able to use this script to update my CWM. I couldnt get it to update any other way. So that part of the script works. The check for ADB works also. I tried the install busybox but got some errors about chmod but havent looked to see if it worked. It did give me a install successful after the script ran though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jiggad369:
Did you reroot using this?

And how did you update Cwm? Through the broken Cwm or this script? Because i don't see a " update Cwm " option.

Since i was on 8.4.4.5 anyway, used the original 8.4.4.5 tf_rootkit along with solarnz-R3-240511-1908 cwr

then flashed prime 1.6

no more boot loops, boots into recovery fine

I got all the way down to Step 6, and when I click on root_app, it opens and closes right away, and it doesn't seem to be working.

I'm sure I installed all the drivers. Anyone now what's wrong?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cubitusclaudius:
As I remember, it happened to me. But I think it's OK cause the only thing is you cannot see the result as the console closes (maybe it's proper to W7?)

Can anyone confirm?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Oat23:
Actually I don't think my devices is rooted as I don't have the SU app. I'll try redoing everything from step 1 and report back!

Thanks for the reply.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Ellerbestyle:
No I was already rooted. I was having a problem where it wouldnt let me do anything in CWM except do a backup. I did the install CWM in this script and it fixed my problem. Now I have prime 1.6 and when I went to boot into CWM to flash a kernal I got stuck in a boot loop.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Ellerbestyle:
Where is the original 8.4.4.5 tf_rootkit?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Tutti-frutti:
Nice tool.

1 showstopping bug, you forgot to change dir to nvflash for the WW root option ;) Pushed SU and seems to work.

But I tried to flash cwm through your tool (running 4.4.11 stock), but when I try to enter cwm, my tf reboots.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Ellerbestyle:
How long does step 3 take(install CWM)? I am stuck at a Nvflash started screen with a blinking curser.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cubitusclaudius:
I didn't check exactly what you told there, but can I ask what has root_app to do with step 6? isn't it in step 2 ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Shawn_230:
It's because ADB isn't working properly. ;)

You need to install drivers and also the Asus PC Sync software, then ADB will be able to communicate with your Transformer while in Android and it will install Superuser and su for you.

It just closes because it can't contact the Transformer and gives up, I guess it would have been nice if it gave us a warning about missing ADB. On the one hand this root process is incredibly simple, but on the other so many things can (and do) pop up to prevent you from success at first.

Just a few seconds, less than ten probably.

Don't waste your time, you did something wrong so go back and start over!

Woot thanks! I now have updated and working Netflix on Pure Root!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] KeithGP:
Ooops figured it out!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] turbulent28:
just read 44 pages of this thread...lol

So im on the latest update, but i see theres a patch already. will give this guide a shot once i get off work
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Ghisy:
So if I have a WW TF, can I just root it using your tool then and not worry about the missing file?

Sorry for quoting myself but no one answered my (kinda n00b-ish) questions. I'm just confused at the whole US/WW rooting because it seems to be different somehow. A little help, pretty please?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] turbulent28:
from the OPS list i can add the US image to that folder, but should i include the recovery img also? One more thing, does this fix the Clockwork?

thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] turbulent28:
The files are there for WW (in the zip file)

open the zip, run the batch file . Drivers are also included in the zip file. you still have to install those before you begin

When you open the batch file, just type "99" for FAQs

good luck
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Ghisy:
@turbulent28, ok, I will try this tomorrow as soon as I get my TF and will report back.

edit: I was talking about brk's tool, you were too, right? (just making sure!)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] turbulent28:
yes, i was talking about Brk's batch file

If you open go back and look at his print screen, you can see that he has and option to root WW or US versions. Open the root batch file without connecting your transformer so that you can see the options before you jump into any changes.

good luck

(he also points out that the method posted is for WW since thats the version he has)

ill give it a shot with US version later today. Ill report later
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jiggad369:
Have you tried booting into CWM more than once? Because he had boot loops after the first try.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Ellerbestyle:
Ok thanks. I feel stupid bEcause I already had it. Maybe this time it will let me update CWM. I will try again. The script messed my TF up again so going to do it the hard way.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bitter1:
If this script will fix CWM I'll be happy camper. I think the original thread is basically abandoned. It's the last piece of the puzzle I have to get back to normal.

(Normal being the average of weird.)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] spartanhooah:
I'm still unable to boot into CWM. What do I have to do to re-start the process? Factory reset?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ondoy1943:
Looks like so, since the time |OP| encountered difficulties with resolving abnormalities of the cwm recovery part. Hope |OP| returns in style. :) ;) :rolleyes: :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
This will get CWM on the 8.4.4.11 update- US version. I'm not sure if the other versions are different, but I could try to smash one together is someone will send me the SOS partition.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] spartanhooah:
I would, if I knew anything about nvflash.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
If you used the pure root method to get a rooted stock rom, per the OP, then you used nvflash!

I suppose you could:

1) update the boot.img with the 84411.zip files.

2) download the file I posted

3) put it in the tf_rootkit_31/root

4) rename it recovery.img

5) run the root.bat and the cwm.bat file

It should work, but I don't have Windoze to test it.

The script I posted will look for a file in your / directory and it's also written for linux. It will work also, but it's one method or the other.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] spartanhooah:
Sorry to sound so dense, but is the boot.img somewhere writable on the Transformer?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
In the first post, there is a 84411.zip file which has the boot.img and (broken) recovery.img. You'll copy the boot.img to your computer, wherever you extracted the tf_rootkit_31 files from the link in the first post. There will already be a version there, but that is for the 8.2.3.9 rom and doesn't work with the 8.4.4.11 OTA update that came out recently.

Use the boot.img from OP and the recovery.img that I linked to in post 385. Don't forget to rename it to recovery.img.

Yeah, it can get a bit confusing because there are several root methods and versions.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] PlaidStallion:
Can someone point me in the right direction for this part?

"6a. Go over to the CWM thread and download latest version of CWM recovery"

Sorry if it has been asked already but just not sure if it's a special version for the transformer or if it's a thread in a general clockwork dev area somewhere or what.

Edit: Nevermind. Didn't realize that Post #52 contains all the information again except with links. Would have been helpful the first time hehe.

maybe rather than piecemeal can someone pt this all together in a zip file ready to go this way ensuring we have all the right ingredients?

Almost. I can see the text for more than before, but now I get stuck in a boot loop. I've searched through this thread and can get into HC by waiting the 5 seconds and choosing not to wipe data, but couldn't find out how to make CWM work properly. Any advice?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Shawn_230:
I can't use any custom kernels using this root on 8.4.4.11... worked fine on 8.4.4.5.

Is this root really so iffy? Or is it this update being weird?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
When exactly do you get the boot loop? When trying to boot into CWM or when trying to boot normally?

The linux script I posted (post 385) is a "stand alone" script for updating/repairing CWM after using the pure root method and finding out that CWM failed.

I suspect that you might have the some of the files in the wrong place but it's hard to tell. If you are curious, you could try to walk through what you did and post output/screenshots, or you could use brk's tool in post 416. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] spartanhooah:
I get the boot loop at the very first screen, with Eee Pad in the center and Asus at the bottom.

Linux scares me, and I don't have ready access to it either.

I tried brk's tool, but adb is inexplicably not working (it's worked in the past, I haven't changed anything since it last worked). I'm getting so sick of this crap not working (NOT your fault, I know). I never had this much trouble with my phone (and it's a Samsung to boot).

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] amm009uk:
I was in a bootloop too but thru own doing. I downloaded the wrong 84111 zip so I had the wrong boot.img flashed. This was easily fixed by starting over with correct files inside rootkit folder.

Actually after fixing the bootloop i couldnt get into CWM but I realised I hadnt replaced the recovery.img. Best bet DELETE your rootkit folder and start over.

BIG thanks to OPoster we are all so happy and free now.

Getting into CWM is as documented several times in this thread: Vol- and also hold power button then let go and press vol+ as soon as you see some activity on screen. Works everytime.

Hello,

I'm not able yet to root my transformer WW on 8.4.4.11 (just root, no CWM). Before I successful had root on WW 8.4.4.5. Everything looks fine during root procedure but at the end -> not root. Can anyone please confirm/help. Maybe I overlooked something. Here the steps I did:

- tf_rootkit_31

- files from 84411 into \root (overriding existing ones)

- file from boot_ww_84411 into \root (overriding existing ones)

- put TF in APX

- run root.bat

- TF shows "...update successful..." 2 times

- reboot TF (hold power for ~10sec -> BTW is this correct?)

Until here everything looks fine... but my TF doesn't have root. :-(

TF is connected and USB Debugging activated. "adb devices" shows my device. When applying root_app.bat (copy su etc...) I get messages like 'failed ... Read-only file system'...

You don't have to be in recovery mode when you use the adb command.

Try to start your device normally, THEN connect to your computer and do the adb magic.

If this doesn't work try to do a "adb remount" before pushing su.

Hope this help.

Thanks for confirmation. I'm trying to find why I cant root my device...

Of course I'm not in recovery mode when I do the adb things (as I described above I'm seeing my device with "adb devices" but when do the root_app.bat I'm getting 'failed ... Read-only file system'... no issues doing all the steps before in recovery mode... :mad:

My case:

* In 8.4.4.5, successfuly rooted following the procedure from post #1.

* Once updated to 8.4.4.11 lost the root (obviously).

* Downloaded and replaced the boot.img from boot_www_84411.zip on the ./root/ directory.

* Re-followed the steps from post #1 (but in linux using nvflash from androidroot.mobi and translating .bat to .sh ;-) ).

* Step 4d fails with "read-only file system" error.

* Executed $ adb remount

* Step 4d succeed.

So, before push the su, chmod-it and so on (root_app.bat), it is necessary an "adb remount".

Now, 8.4.4.11 and rooted again.

Thanks.

Not bashing, but simply saying, this was a very hard method to do simply because of the language used in the instructions.
