Perhaps you'd like to try reading things.

This is not your main problem. Your main problem is that you're an utter berk. I've spent thirty seconds in this thread and sniffed out your complete and total lack of thought from over in the SGS2 forum. Tell me, does shining a torch in your ears make your eyes twinkle?

Spirit? What spirit? That these forums are here to hold your hand through the most basic of tasks? I do apologise, we all stand corrected! Please enlighten us, good sir, of your home address so that we all may come to your home, wait on you hand and foot, wipe your arse for you with sheets of pure gossamer hand woven by us from the freshest of silk worms. Of course, being at your beck and call we will indeed endeavour to install all the nasty widdle difficult things onto your tablet for you.

Said the guy who can't figure out a zip file, an archiving technology that's been in use since the 80s.

I beg to differ. Goldfish with Alzheimers learn faster than you. Why are you even attempting to **** about with your tablet when you don't even know the proper name for the Android version that's on it? It's Honeycomb genius, not Gingerbread. Gingerbread is for phones. Shall we expect a post from you later asking why when you hold your giant Transformer phone to your head much like this fellow* you can't hear anyone on the other end? If you can't find your way around a zip file, much less find your own arse with both hands, a map, a GPS and an ancient oracle guide, what makes you think you should be inevitably bricking your device?

*

How about you just skip to the end of your torrid keyboard regurgitation and carry out the only thing you said that matters one jot: Leaving us all alone. Begone, get out, you shouldn't be on a tablet, people as far advanced in the evolutionary stakes as you should still be scratching drawings onto cave walls.

If I NV flash with the latest prime does it make a back up of stock from?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mikehe:
Did i just screw only up after two days of having this TF i used nvflash and it said eveything was done. but now it wont turn on. did i just brink this thing or what
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] vrundmc:
Did you extract a ROM in the flash folder (where you ran the .bat file)?

I used Prime 1.4 first and then upgraded from there...

Can you still get to ADB mode? You will know if you plug your tab into the computer, it will make noises.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mikehe:
no i didnt extract a rom thought i was just going to root it so i could get titinum backup pro on it but now nothing
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mikehe:
looks like maybe abx mode only, so does that mean the asus rom got wiped. again

so take prime 1.7 extract to nvflash folder and run .bat
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] vrundmc:
Yes...but I started with Prime 1.4 - I think the files were different from each. Try 1.7 and if that doesn't work then do 1.4. It will work. You just forgot the ROM. No worries. You should be up and running soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mikehe:
i sure hope this would be the fastest i killed anything before two days

2 lines show up on transformer..

entering nvflash

chip Uid

The .bat finished but screen still has the 2 lines on it do i wait or unplug and try to fire up
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mikehe:
still wont power up...dang
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dgcruzing:
Watch the video--

You do this then you can't go wrong as it clearly shows and tells you what to do..

Of course.. if you don't watch it plus read the step by step instructions..

Then expect a brick..

As only a fool would try to flash this without making sure they are following

the correct procedure...

All the instructions clearly spell out that you have copy the 3 files of rom into

The root dir you are using...

Then of course if you are going to 1.7 directly--make you downloaded correct version..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] vrundmc:
if you have ADB you can get it running.

Try it 1.4. It will work. There is no way it shouldn't....

Do you have a B70? Look at the serial number and what are the first 3 letters/numbers.

Even B70's have gotten this to work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mikehe:
well i got a little discouragedby not being able to root it easy, so i packed it up and took it back to frys and saw online that walmart has a 2 day sale for 349.00 fry's gave me a new unit and priced matched...cash back
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thebadfrog:
So you bork it and violate the warranty and then take it back for a refund. This is why manufacturers are trying their best to lock down devices.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mikehe:
sorry about that, but they do what they want to do.....they have the technology and all the money
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jerdog:
Can't believe you're pushing this.... That's a douche way to act. They have the technology - sure - but they also have all the money from charging more and more to cover idiots who take back their device after borking it THEMSELVES - and then rape the retailer who has to eat the cost of the price match and the loss of the product as they send it back to the manufacturer who won't give them the cost of the lost sale....

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] seedofchaos:
i have a b60 version and it wont even power on other than going to nvflash. any suggestions? im pretty shaked up right now. im not blaming the creator of this though perhaps i can do something to fix it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Onepagebook:
Did you follow the procedure?

*Download the nvflash and unzip

*then download the prime 1.4, extract (unzip) then you will have 3 files, so copy those 3 files inside the nvflash root directory(be careful don't put in the driver folder)

* now connect your tf to computer usb port via the cable come with your TF

BUT at this moment your TF must be power off state.

* now turn on your TF by pressing the volume up +power on button altogether about 6 seconds or until you see your computer device manager appear APX device need to update driver.. then give the path where the driver@ the folder inside of nvflash folder. after that, you are ready to root.

* just run the download.bat until TF automatically reboot. you are done.

above is what I have today when I got the tf brand new..and yes mine is B60.

Hope this helps.

Please help ! I'm stuck in a reboot loop. All I get is the Eee Pad/Asus screen.

What I did..

got the revolver nv flash release

put the files into the nvflash folder

started the tablet in APX mode and installed the driver

ran download.bat and everything completed successfully

tablet rebooted, and rebooted, and rebooted.

Please help, I've just bought this thing and I'm panicking

I've tried reflashing and got the exact same results.

What I didn't have was a micro SD in the slot. is this important ?

Is there a stock NV flash image I can at least get it back working with ?

thanks,

malty
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Onepagebook:
I would suggest that you go "original way" put the prime 1.4 first then you can flash whatever you want later:)

I have done this for over 4 times for all the friends who just bought the tf
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] maltloaf:
thank you, I'm back up and running now on prime 1.8, just about to try flashing revolver via cwm
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rickatnight11:
Nvflash can talk to the Transformer in APX mode, which is booted off of a different chip on the device, which has access to the entire internal flash chip. This lets you flash whatever you want to the device, even if the internal Flash has been entirely wiped. (This is similar to the other development interfaces that other devices have, which are intended for service centers to be able to recover bricked devices.)

That means that you can flash any ROM you want, whether it be the stock ROM released by Asus or any of the ROMs made by the community. You just need to get a copy of whatever ROM you want in nvflash format.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ILoveAndroid77:
Maybe some publicitiy could put some pressure on Asus, so they stop their Anti-Root and release the key for the B70 and B80 (B90 ...) and other futures devices, or provide an official way to unlock, like HTC and Sony Ericsson did.

Twitter your opinion at @AsusUK and @ASUS to get Asus to follow HTC and Sony E., rather than protecting their devices.

And/or post on the Facebook page "ASUS"

The more the better ..!

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Xx_xBLADEx_xX:
SO I just got this awesome device and I have tried rootin using NVflash with no results. I have come to realize that the B70 at the moment cannot be rooted using this method. Looking at my serial it starts with B70 so does that mean I have a B70 device? and if that is the case that would explain why I can't root correct.

I also have a FOTA update pending. I'm currently Android 3.1 with build 8.4.4.11 any idea if allowing this to pass will keep me from rooting in the future? thanks in advanced for answering. I'm not new to rooting devices just new to the tablet scene.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
Is your device pre B7O? look for a sticker under the tablet, your serial number.

If doing NVFLash, did you extract the content of the Prime file and put it in the

root folder of NVFlash folder?

I can see on TF screen:

2) I've tried to restore with "Root ToolKit V7.1 Universal "

it updates boot, recovery and system : "phone update" on TF

BUT TF won't reboot after :-(

is there a xx secondes vol xx and power buttons press to force reboot ???

If the script indicates that it's done, just hold down the power button.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
It's basically a one click root for any firmware on the device. Also can be used for lots of other stuff.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Canadoc:
Well I know that the previous way of getting root via downgrade and adb allowed you to not wipe the data partition.

Since I have no way to back this up before using nvflash since I am not rooted, then I am afraid it means a lot of time restoring apps, losing game saves etc.

I think I will wait untill there is an easy way to do this without losing our data.

I do laud the eforts of the devs and hope as you say a tweak can be implemented
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bowtieguy:
If I read it correctly it gives your stock 3.1 a

Prime 1.4 with root and cwm
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Canadoc:
my understanding is that it does, but that that when you run it it wipes your entire device so you lose everything on it. Once doen with clockwork installed you can run backups in the future
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
Yea this way simply installs the rooted rom over the rom on your tablet. Well at least that's what the script does.

boot/recovery can only be extracted with nvflash.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] EvoNotion:
basically why I ask is because for some reason the nvflash method has been the only way I can successfully boot a ROM, namely Prime ROM, on my TF101.

So, if Prime can be done that way, thought maybe it was possible with other ROM's, just unsure of how to go about it.

Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the wonderful work you’re doing here.

I have a bit of a problem, I installed the Razorclaw - One click Root for all ASUS Transformers from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1345049. However I noticed that I could not mount the internal sd card in de CWM when I wanted to flash a new rom. So I decided to use the Nvflash unbricking tool. Unfortunately it bricked my Asus eee pad, I guess that I briked because of the mounting problem of the sd card.

The strange thing of it all was that I did not have any problem using the eee pad, exept that I could not upgrade the official firmware. That’s wy I used Nvflash unbricking tool.

I attached the screen shot from the Nvflash tool., you see that it didn’t go further than sending (succefully) the bootloader and then it stops there and doesn’t do anything anymore I did everything that was said in the manual including updating the APX driver.

Can anybody help me?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
That's because CWM only read from the EXTERNAL Micro sd card.

Also what is your devices serial #? You know that NOT ALL device will work with NVFlash?

Yep thnx for your reply, my serial nr is B60 KAS233547, I was aware of that.

Hey there.

If I want to unroot my TF fast, is there a way to use nvflash for it? I want to wipe the device clean from root, CWM, custom ROM - like total factory-clean state.

I've used nvflash to get all this stuff on my TF in the first place (flashed Prime!), so I know how to use it a bit.

Just want to get some info on where I can get 'clean' images and if flashing them on top of what I have now is safe enough.

Hi, having trouble here :)

I have a B80 eeepad that doesn't boot properly. After a flashing of a ICS Rom (taken from here) I've noticed random reboot. So, I've tryied to change kernel, according with the guide compiled in his post. After doing that, my eeepad continue rebooting, stucking on the Eeepad first screen (before the asus logo). CWM is not accessible, if I try to power on in apx mode, the tablet does that correctly. I have installed the correct driver using your tutorial (video) but i get the following error:

rcm version 0X4

Command send failed (usb write failed)

If I try to get into CWM, i get the double icon screen, wipe data or android. If i choose wipe, it works, but the tf101 won't boot. If i choose android, the screen show me "cold booting android" and it get freezed!

Somewhere I've seen that nvflash doesn't work with a B70 or greater realease of TF101... true?

I'm quite furious, I've not finishing paying it yet... anybody helps please?
