Does this work with the Canadian TF?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] adamslast:
İf you have a tablet which has serial no. starting B7 or B8 you can not root it. Look at 1. page. There is a warning say that: "This method doesn't work for B70 revision Pads

Note: some users have reported that with this script they have successfully root their pad. It seems that some B70 rev. pads don't have the new bootloader". Check your tab serial no. I have also B7 rev. pad. But it worked for me. It depends whether tablet has old or new asus boot loader.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Stricly:
Adam,

I have checked the serial number and it says B70.........

So does this mean im outa luck or is there a different method i can use to root this machine haha. :cool:

Thanks for your comment.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] adamslast:
Before check your tab serial no. (look at previous message.) Then you know the region code (eg. ww, us, de etc.) and android version. (8567 or 8569). Find appropriate script on 1. page, download and apply. But first thing is to know what you want by rooting. Otherwise it is an unnecessary adventure i think.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] adamslast:
Unfortunately Yess.:mad: You have a new bl tab. As i know our good hackers could not discover new bl code. But dont worry. I can do it but did not yet. Rooting is not necessary for a medium user unless you are a developer. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Stricly:
Im no developer but Root access is used not only for developing right? some apps need root access to run for instance Titanium backup so i can backup everything en restore on the fly when needed.

I have read some other posts that indeed there is no hack yet for the B70 with the new Bootloader but they are working on it so hopefully it wouldn't take to long ;)

Thanks you for all your advice and atleast i have learned something more about this TF101 and it is making more sence to me now.

Thanks again :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] KryPTiCk0d3:
Thanks for your reply, I did check my serial number, and I do have a B50, I just wasn't sure on the region I should be looking for, I haven't found anything on the Canadian version.

I did go in and check the Build number and it is HTJ85B.US_epad-8.6.5.9-20110816

I am assuming the "US" version will work for this Canadian version. Just wanted to clarify before trying it, don't really want to mess it up :)

I want god like powers after I get root... same reason for rooting everything else lol.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] adamslast:
You have US 8659 and have to use US ver. 6.3.1 script. I think your tab will have easiely rooted since it is B50 (old bl)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] KryPTiCk0d3:
Perfect, Thank you.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] carter.v.15:
Hi everyone,

I had a rooted 3.1 WW TF w/ CWM. I decided to unroot so I installed the stock boot and recovery using the older V5 beta 6 script, and was then able to do the FOTA update to 8.6.5.9.

I am now stuck with the Superuser app which I can't uninstall, and apps that require root don't work.

I've tried uninstalling Superuser app using the new v6.3 script but it says file system is read only, even after flashing the insecure boot.

Could you please advise on how to remove Superuser app? (it's the only thing I want, I don't want to root again)

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] adamslast:
You can manuelly reflash 8.6.5.9 then you are rid of superuser. It is a little bit tricky but I did it. It works. The guide:

Warning to all beta testers. V3 has an error with insecure boot img. Flashing it will brick your pad. Don't do it.

APX Mode

Ok, noob question here. I'm contemplating rooting my US SKU B50 (8.5.6.9) Transformer. I have the Asus ADB Composite drivers installed and ADB recognizes the TF. However, I'm a bit confused by how to put the TF into APX mode after it's already been connected once and the drivers are installed. Does APX mode=usb debugging?

With the TF connected and in usb debugging mode, I fired up the batch file (V6.3.1) and tested ADB connectivity. Check. I then tried to backup the img and recovery, but as the batch file ran:

1) the TF didn't respond when the batch file reported pushing the bootloader to the TF.

2) the batch then reported no usb connectivity (or something similar)

After that I was asked if I wanted to backup img and recovery, but I didn't since I wasn't sure if I was seeing normal behavior or something wonky. Can someone shed some light on this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Beta 5 up. Solved problems with insecure boot.img

Beta testers needed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
New beta 6 available. Last attempt to solve problems (I'm getting out of ideas, base script is equal to linux shell version). Updated external tools to latest version available.

Password for the download ? Can't extract or run it
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pen25:
getting same. ran on netbook with win vista basic as well as winxp though i didnt reboot. i will do that when i come back into work.

anyone have a fix for vista?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
After testing ADB, turn off your pad, then put it in APX mode (see 1st post for info) and then run the script and follow instructions.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Development of V7 will stop for now. There's a problem with creation of insecure boot img that I can't fix alone. I've tried everything I can. I'll try to get assistance from the BootTools developer. Until then there is no use for this tool.

If you think you can help me with this (insecure boot creation) send me a PM
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ftgg99:
Guys is there another method to root 8.6.5.9 0816? Or some other method for the 8.6.5.10 thats around?

I have nothing but my machine with me, so this wont do atm...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pen25:
after testing adb i power down. i then press the volumn up and power button waiting for the usb sound on the computer. at this point i run the script. i can choose any selection of 1 4 or 9 and each one fails and drops the driver out like i am unplugging it.

ok sorry about that BRK i wasnt aware b80 hasnt been rootable yet. i had only read b70. what happens when i jump into something too quickly. looks like i may have to return the thing until root is out. thx for your hard work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ElChouch:
Sorry but how do you know if your device is B70 or B80 ? I ve been trying to root several time but when in APX mode I cant pas the "check if adb is working" step (although I'm familiar with rooting and flashing, I m a bit confused with the transformer).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sevenup30:
Check your S/N uder your tablet(near the connector) if it start by B70 or B80k

you probably have the new SBK, and for now we can't root
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ElChouch:
it's B70 :-/

so ADB is working well when the tablet is on but when I turn APX mode on it doesn't find my device anymore (APX drivers seem to be installed properly since I can see it in windows device manager).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sevenup30:
When you are in apx, and run nvflash which error do you have? If usbdevice not found, that mean your drivers may not be installed, and if you have usb write fail, that mean you have sbk v2 and you cant root for now
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ElChouch:
ok thx, it' a usb write failing indeed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xxljmzlxx:
I'm getting nvflash.exe is not recognized as an internal or externam command, operable program or batch file...

What does all that mean? Im B70 as well
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xomikronx:
I have a B70. Success.

I had to flash the insecure boot and CWM twice for it to stick.

Hope this helps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xxljmzlxx:
USB write failed :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] joking:
Not all B7O are rootable for now. Some can and some can not.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bobloadmire:
Hi guys, B60 here, and i have done options 4 5 and 6, so im rooted fine and everything, but now i put prime 1.9 on my SD card, but when i try to boot to CWM (hold vol down and power) it boots into what appears to be the standard ASUS recovery (option for recover and boot to android with the two icons) not the familiar orange lists of CWM. I have ran the rootkit twice for my 8.6.5.9 firmware pad, and am using the 8.6.5.9 rootkit version, but no luck. whats going on?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Problems solved! V7 beta7 is now available, no need for password. Everybody can test it.

Remember, this is still a beta version, there could be issues or errors that I didn't find. Use it at your own risk.

I'm not, by anyway, responsible if you brick your pad.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TeveT:
Hello!

Just used this kit, beta 7, on my transformer. Everything seemed to have gone fine and i have SuperUser in the app list.

However it doesnt seem to be rooted?

SuperUser can't give root access to either es file explorer or titanium backup.

At the end of the kit's process it said:

"Insecure boot installed sucessefuly!

CWM recovery installed sucessefuly!

Done, your pad is now rooted"

But seems that is not the case, any suggestions? (I'm on a WW8659)

Edit:

However, it never asked for me to reboot as it says in the last post of the instructions, and the green "progress bar" on the backup & root-tab is not completely green... Is it skipping a step without telling me about it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] halorin:
In the exact same boat. Interesting.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Did you reboot? Try to reboot your pad.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mickey78:
quick question, we are in the process of flashing a pad here, and we chose the option to do a full backup. The backup seems to take forever. in fact, it is around 530MB in size, and we've been waiting for about 2 hours now with only 150mb done. We don't necessarily care about the backup, is there anyway to skip it at this point or do we have to way the full time. thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Ok, I've rechecked the code and found some bugs, it now should work as it was meant to work.

V7 beta 8 up at the same post as before.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TeveT:
Yes I did, first thing I tried but no difference. Gonna try the new beta and see if it works better :)

Edit:

Tried the new beta (8) and no success. Instead i went back to the 6.3 version and just did option 5 and 6 (install superuser and busybox). Success! :)

So perhaps the new flashy version with the GUI need a button to make that option if the "automatic" process doesn't work?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] magicdave26:
Ok I rooted yesterday with this, and today I am trying to enter APX mode to flash CWM as I didnt do it when I rooted

I enter APX mode, the PC makes the USB connect sound but ADB can not see it, nor does device manager

Any ideas?

EDIT - ADB can not even see the TF when it is powered on anymore

This is crazy, I have uninstalled and reinstalled all drivers, killed ADB server, Started ADB server, downloaded everything fresh, disabled Firewall, everything I can think of and it will not pick up the device anywhere!

i have a question.... i rooted my transformer with this guide... and wanted to unroot now i used the same root toolkit following steps 2 and 3 and everything seemed fine but when everything finishes i still have superuser on tablet.. how do i completely remove superuser from my tab?

dont know if it helps my series is B60

and firmaware US 8.6.5.9
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] magicdave26:
uninstall it like any other app ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xtonyx06:

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Techronico:
Just did this method on a B70 device.

(HINT for other B70 Users) Have patience... I tried this several times and it looked like it froze so I closed the command prompt windows and main tool window. After noticing the messages that flashed by on one of the attemts, it looked to me that the program was loading or downloading something in the background even when it looked frozen. So I ran it one more time and waited aprox 10-15 mins and voila! it worked!

I dont know if my boot loader was v2 or not, but maybe if someone with a confirmed v2 bootloader can try this method one more time and let it run for a longer amount of time it might work...

Thanks to Brk for the great work!!!

Updated via OTA on my B70. So no root for me :(

pretty sad when every other android device i've owned has root

Have ADB working, working drivers etc, APX mode is working. It just fails every time.

I'll try on another computer at some point. Not sure how it'll make a difference but whatever, it's worth a shot.
