why do you write www1107.megaupload.com...

please take off the 1107

instead of clicking the link try copying the url into ur browser instead
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] elislurry:
Worked great with absolutely no issues! Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] nikh.aurora:
i click on it and when after 30 sec i press free download it become that 1107 thing and dosent open page

i click not copy the link
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cubitusclaudius:
opening the page, I don't see "free download" but "regular download". See by yourself :

And before that, I have to wait 45 sec. and 30 (as written)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] butro:
Just like most people in this thread have been, I too was successful with this root method. Very easy and pretty much as easy as it was to root my Galaxy S (update.zip on the SD card and reboot). Amazing work my friend. :D

I have been a big lurker in the past but am more interested as of lately to the workings of Android. I still very new to all this but I have read much and have what I think is a basic but competent understanding of what I am doing to my devices when I am rooting, installing new ROMs etc. After looking at the batch files included in the zip file, the root batch file looks like it is pushing a new bootloader which I assume allows superuser / root status to be permanently applied. Also, this APX mode (which I am having a hard time finding anything about) allows the CWM recovery image to be downloaded which I was stoked about. CWM is great.

Getting to the point, am I right to say that if we have been successful with this root method, and OTA updates will work, then when ASUS pushes 3.2 OTA then we will be able to update and retain root with CWM? Now the caveat to this is that their update does not include a new recovery and bootloader image in the update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] teegunn:
Can't get this to work.... spent two hours trying to figure this out. When I run the command line typing in "devices" adp loads then a window pops up saying that the driver adpwinapi.dll is not installed. Googled for a couple hours looking for a fix, uninstalled/reinstalled Asus Sync several times, no luck, the same damn warning of the missing .dll pops up...... I'm stuck and can't even get beyond this point. Any help/ideas/suggestions? Frustrating.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cubitusclaudius:
2d. After the "adb.exe" press space bar and type "devices" (w/o quotes ofcourse) press enter.

do you see any difference between what you say and what is told?

But I suppose it's only a mistake typing it now.

to run properly, adb needs adbwinap.DLL in the same folder. so there are 2 possibitities :

- they are not in the same folder

- your download is corrupted
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] teegunn:
Thanks for the reply. I did of course put a space before "devices". Not sure what the problem is - I've run this on two computers now, one 32 bit win 7 and one 64 bit win 7. I DL'd the files directly from Asus site, and then DL'd the TF kit from the link on the bottom of the OP's first post. Maybe there is something simple I have done wrong, but I can't catch it yet. Again, I appreciate the help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cubitusclaudius:
the mistake I was talking about is that you wrote adp and it is adb

if your downloaded file is corrupted, you cannot see it. you have to re-download it. (I mean the rootkit 3.1)

there is another way of launching a command shell : go to the directory you unzipped the file and press shift and right click and choose : open a command window (or something like that. mine is in french) . you have to do it on root_app folder.

I'm running also on W7 64

don't thank me. just press thank's button.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] andjohn:
Worked great :)

Superfast, amazingly simple. WELL FREAKING DONE.

Check out the GUI version

http://android.modaco.com/topic/342845-tool-nvflash-gui-tool-v11/

I havenot tried myself.

It appears to be able to do CWM without a microSD.

It can also flash a ROM too (the built-in ROM is WW-stock, you can just substitute with your NVFLASH-version).

8.4.4.11

can someone dump me the partition 6 or send me the boot for 8.4.4.11 ? i don't have my tf anymore.. someone post it and i can build a new version
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Brondar1:
FYI dont use this with 3.2

This will semi brick the Asus and will require you to nvflash back to stock..

Correction 3.1 update recently pushed out
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] grandpoobah:
show me how and i'll do it. need to get rooted since this update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] woonie:
I wished I saw this last night when I tried to root using this method after updating to 8.4.4.11. Thank goodness for NVflash.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] AngelofChaos:
I believe I may have just bricked my Transformer, either that or my Power button is defective. I was on step 4c after flashing the root.bat file and cwm.bat file. The NVflash stated that the updates were successful before the text disappeared. I've tried powering it back on using both methods of vol + and power, and or just power to no avail. I've been unable to get into APX mode and the adb devices command does not have the transformer listed. Plugging it into the AC adapter doesn't seem to power it on either. I find it hard to believe its been bricked considering my expertise in this field, I'm no novice. It was running 8.4.4.5-20110527 stock firmware.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] deadman3000:
How much charge did you have on it before you flashed?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bitter1:
Now that the recent update is out, hoping to see this updated, but apparently this doesn't seem to work on the new firmware: 8.4.4.11-20110711.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] AngelofChaos:
its was around 96%

After further tinkering, I have found the culprit is the power button. Used a pocket knife to depress the button at a corner and it booted up, so now if I can just get it to boot into recovery I can unroot and nvflash it back to stock and get Asus to replace it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] samsung:
Works for me using W7, a bit worry when turning off after flashing root_app took long (10 secs of pressing Power button!), thought it was bricked.

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wehweh:
It did the same thing to me--it IS in APX mode, it just won't have anything on the screen until you run root.bat. Go ahead and follow the instructions verbatim EXCEPT for the CWM. That DID brick my TF, and unbricking it ended up needing a disassemnly because the touchscreen was unresponsive so the battery had to be temporarily removed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wildcheese:
I just rooted my eee with this guide which worked great, but the new update of Asus overwrites it and gaining root isnt working anymore :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] noovot:
thanks, mashi

it worked! on 8.4.4.11
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cubitusclaudius:
so what's new with the 8.4.4.11?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] DroidRevenge:
yes... tell us all about it please!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] noovot:
I would if I could. I just bought my eee pad and it auto-updated itself to 84411, so I have nothing to compare it to. Sorry

Runs smooth, stable, no problems with protected hidden wifi , icons in bottom leftcorner look different from what I see on 8447 screenshots. Swype lags...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TheIneffable:
I rooted using this method but how will it affect the 8.4.4.11 update? Will it just unroot my transformer again or what?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wildcheese:
With me the update unrooted the Asus. I did do it again, and while the asus said that "phone updated" it looked to be succesfull though i don't have actual root access.

Futher the updates have some improvements but I didn't find a list of fixes. The pad seems to run smoother overall.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TheIneffable:
Just wanted to make sure that it doesn't leave my device bricked during the unroot process.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xTRICKYxx:
Nope. I tried rooting after I updated to 8.4.4.11, and while it said I was successful, I do not have root access. I am going to go out on a limb and say that this does not work?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hardy81:
Works perfectly. Justf follow instructions but skip the win installations (already done).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jiggad369:
Hey guys,

I just bought my TF yesterday (haven't powered it on since I'm waiting for my screen protector to arrive). I see that a new update is out for the TF and I'm wondering if I should update to 4.11 first before rooting?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] tidixon:
I tried this root method after 84411 and it did not work -- flash was successful but would not boot (stuck at first boot screen). I had backed up and was able to restore the old boot img.

Will try again now that I am hearing various reports of success.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] tidixon:
same thing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dysa:
I had the same results... after updating to 84411, I tried to Root and although it said successful, my TF would not boot back up... it was stuck at the initial boot screen. :(

Since I didn't have a backup of the stock ROM, I ended up installing Prime! v1.5 for testing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TheIneffable:
So, I rooted using this method and it worked flawlessly. But I just rooted without even installing CWM because I just felt like running the stock rom. I just recently decided to just go with flashing roms. How would I go about installing CWM now?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] douglasjboehme:
I believe you need to go into APX mode and run root.bat and cwm.bat then follow the steps for rebooting into recovery to update CWM. If you just run cwm.bat on it's own, it seems to hang.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sjj1991:
I'm stuck at the boot screen too.

I don't have CWM installed yet, how can I flash Prime v1.5?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sjj1991:
I tried to do step 6, but it just hangs at 'Booting recovery kernel image'
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kibje:
Thanks for the great tutorial. It took me exactly 10 minutes to root my (fully updated WW version) Transformer, install CWM, and update CWM to the latest version.

Excellent work!

ps. I used Windows XP and my brain.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sjj1991:
Which CWM did you use?

I used recovery-3.1.0.1-solarnz-R3-240511-1908.zip, pasted it on the microsd card. But it CWM still do not work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bitter1:
I'm curious how some people can re-root after the update and others get stuck at the boot screen.

I see more reports of failure than success.

Is there a pattern? Like US firmware bricks but WW doesn't? I'd prefer to hold off until the success rate is above 85% since that would mean user error is more likely.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] monkmeister901:
Awesome stuff!! Rooted and kept all my data in about 2 mins! On my 3rd transformer now, the last one decided it didn't like being rooted and I lost all touch input on the screen, but this one has worked perfectly!

Definitely worth doing some reading of what people have said first, it gave me the balls to try this root method after my disaster of last time!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rpavich:
Arggg!!! Stuck at boot screen! I wish I'd read to the end before doing this....darn it.

How do I get my TF back to a bootable condition?

I tried vol - and pwr and it says booting recovery image and I have a zip file on the root of the SD card that I used to downgrade last week, but it hangs there too....

help!

Hey guys,

Just a quick question. I just got my TF but I haven't turned it on yet. I know if I do, I will have to update it. Should I update it then root it (possible?) or should I root it straight away?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sjj1991:

2. Download prime_v1.5_nvflash.tar.bz2 http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1052380

3. Unpack and copy the .img files into the nvflash folder

4. Enter APX mode and run download.sh (linux) or download.bat (windows)

6. Profit
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jro2020:
eep

Well that was scary, first time I tried, i rooted and clockworked, and BRICKED.

Luckily I found the the link with the NVflash to stock.

Did that, nvflash root, skipped CWM everything working this time, yippy. Except now I get to reinstall all my apps and everything.

To bad google backup and restore feature doesn't work the second time you setup a device. I had been so please when I first set up my Transformer and it installed all my apps and accounts from my captivate automagically.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jro2020:
i think it depends on whether you install CWM. First time I did that and caput, second then I tried again and it workd just fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Shawn_230:
For what it's worth I'm on a US one and it has failed for me after rooting, and I've tried every possible way mentioned here.

Hopefully someone can fix the root for 8.4.4.11 because I was using Prime! 1.4 for a month and I was experiencing terrible idle battery drain, it's about a tenth of the drain on stock so if I could just root that I'd be a happy camper.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rpavich:
Well, here are my results.

I was on the newest rom that came out a few days ago.

I tried this method and it didn't work...nothing but a black screen resulted. I did the unbrick method as mentioned above and got it back to 8.4.4.5 and then did the root again and it worked, but my TF isn't really rooted....I have CWM recovery but I'm not really rooted.

Is there a way to get the root part of it with no risk of hosing things up again?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] skydirt:
Anyone here running just stock then tried to do this?

I am running stock (no CWM), the newest update and tried to apply root via this method and I'm now locked up at the boot screen. I have read the posts before mine, but seem to be related to the PRIME ROM etc.

is there a different method for stock users in fixing their device other than the fixes here that have been posted here for custom ROM users?

thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Shawn_230:
Other people have the same issue as you, it's not all related to Prime ROM.

Some people say root on latest stock works, but more people say it gets stuck at boot screen.

I hope we don't have to go through all this again with 3.2...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rpavich:
I can't do it...I got stuck at the boot screen.

I downgraded my stock rom and the best I could do then with this method is getting CWM installed but no root.

I ended up putting Prime 1.5 on.

If you need to recover, the unbricking method worked for me.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Bazzz66:
Hi Guys,

I installed all the drivers, but I do not seem to get my TF in APX mode anymore. When I press volume up + power nothing happens (just a blackscreen, ADB also does not state a device is connected).

How can I check if it is in APX, should the screen show anything?

I found the guide below of someone, but still a blackscreen.

Any ideas??

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1174493&highlight=apx+mode

1 - Press and hold Volume down + power button.

2 - Press volume up to enter recovery mode.

3 - Wait till it shows the droid with the triangle and exclamation mark image.

4 - Press volume up + power button.

5 - Wait a bit...et voila...APX mode.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Bazzz66:
Just found out, APX mode screen stays black.

You can see that it is in APX mode by the Device Manager.

Under Unversal Serial Bus controllers you will see:

NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile Devices

I rooted my TF, tried it with the update for 8.4.4.11 but that gave me a bootloop. :mad:

So I tried the 8.4.4.5 (old) boot and recover images and that worked fine for me. :D

I only installed USB driver, Asus Sync and not the EEE Pad Pc Suite, so that may be edited in the OP

Tnx again!!!! :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rebound821:
Just like Bazzz66 I rooted my 8.4.4.11 build with the new files and got a bootloop.

Flashed the root for 8.4.4.5 and now I have a 8.4.4.11 perfectly rooted.

I didn't try CWM.

FYI I've got a WW version.

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] :
Argh.....boot loop

When using the method described at the beginning of this thread, it tells you to copy the files from the 8.4.4.11 zip over the top of files that exist already in the root files you unzip first from tf_rootkit zip.

It then tells you to run the 2 batch files, which I did and everything appears to go smoothly. Until, that is you go to reboot. When you reboot, the machine shows the Asus logo, goes black, shows logo and goes in a loop.

If you SCRAP the files, and re-extract the tf_rootkit zip again (and this time dont overwrite any files) and rerun the batch files, it will then get the machine started again. Obviously you will need to be in APX mode again to do this.

Note to op: May be worth finding out what file is causing the reboot loop and updating your post. Im on WW edition btw, original firmware of 8.4.4.11.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mashi:
oh. mine is base on US not WW. please upgrade to 8.4.4.11 and do

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