I used the v6.3 update for my WW (8.6.5.9)

and it doesn't seem to install the Recovery even though it said successful. I'm still unable to go into the recovery.

I try to go into recovery by pressing pwr+up.vol but it just stays in the black screen. (apx mode)

also I tried renaming the recovery.img to CWMrecovery3201.img and it said successfuly installed. but still cant get in.

what could i be doing wrong?

help plz :)

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

Actually got into recovery now.

I downloaded an app called Transformer2Recovery

and that worked.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TheFens:
Hello Brk,

first of all, thanks for all the efforts you put in giving us an easy way to root. My message is not for a problem, but just to say that you achieved to make a version (with b11) that rooted my tablet (i tried every other methods with no success). this time everything went well on my 8.6.5.9 wwe. again, congrats !

Best regards
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cYraXx:
i've got the same problem, but no solution... dunno where to get this app... but where is the problem, why the transformer won't boot into recovery although it is installed?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thebadfrog:
power / vol up is apx mode

power / vol down and the vol up when asked is recovery
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cYraXx:
no chance, didnt work... i also downloaded an app called "quick reboot" where i can choose to reboot into recovery etc, but this doesnt work either... but the script told me 2 times that the cwm was installed successfully...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thebadfrog:
Either CWM is not installed or you aren't pressing the right buttons. Those are the only 2 answers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cYraXx:
okay...the script told me that the cmw is installed ... i ran it 2 times... i pushed vol down and the power button... if the script didnt install it properly how can i install it by myself?

//edit

dunno the reason, but now it works :-D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thebadfrog:
did you then let go of vol down and power and press volume up when directed to on the screen?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thebadfrog:
Do you have an external sdcard in the tab?

CWM looks on the external not the internal for zip files
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thebadfrog:
The removable one is the only place CWM looks for roms so you need you zip files on it. It also makes your backups there as well.

The sdcard confusion is because there have been to many different ways its been mounted in Android.

Viewsonic GTAb

internal /sdcard

External /sdcard2 and then

internal /emmc

external /sdcard

Thats just one example :)

Stupid fragmetation :)

Sorry for hijacking your thread but I could tell by his posts that he was maybe not using external card
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] greeny2010:
Hello guys,

I really need help for rooting my tf. First, I can never have the APX mode on my win7 x64 desktop or laptop. I've installed the latest drivers and sometimes win7 detect the tf on a hit-n-miss state.

My tf is a b40 series.

Any help highly appreciated.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hacksome:
I've a fresh Transformer which is a b80 series. Can someone confirm if the method work for my TF?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thebadfrog:
I confirm this method will not work
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] philippebla:
good evening

it does not work for the series or the series B80 B70,

I have a version of B70 and I'm still waiting but no no Avence!

good evening
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] michadreyer:
APX-mode is starting with volume up and power. try the script one more time.

then start the tf with volume down and power and after you wait till you see

some words neer the power-button on the tf press only power up. after some

seconds you must see the cwm-menue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] louser:
Newbie Question

Hi all,

Did all the research and from what I read my B70 should be rootable. Its a B70KAS039, I read KAS17 and lower are rootable. I tried the method in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14813252&postcount=52

and it bricked my TF. I found this method and somehow was able to get it back in APX mode and flashed option 2. This unbriked my TF and now it boots and works like a charm.

I don't want to try this method without asking if it will root my TF. I'm pretty sure it will work since it fixed it when I bricked it. I appreciate any help.

Lou
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thebadfrog:
The definition of "brick" seems to have been lost. A brick means the only use your device has is a brick, paperweight, frisby, coaster, serving platter, cutting block, or a doggie chew toy. There is no magical recovery from a "brick". You may have borked, hosed, jacked up, soft bricked, semi bricked, liquified, petrified, or just don't understand what the power button does but if its working now then it was never a "brick"

Sorry.....keep seeing brick and want to know how someone actually managed to brick it and then I see "fixed".....very confusing

BTW....yes this is the easiest way to root and get cwm without nvflash
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
I've already said it serveral times: read 1st post. All the info you need to use this script is there. Read all the post, not only the first lines. Read the FAQ/instructions included in the script.

If you don't find the answer that you are looking, use the serarch button. I'me sure that 99% of the doubts that people have, have already been answered in the 55 pages of this thread.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] vioshift:
Flawless

Very impressed. No complaints and super easy
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] vlbaindoor:
Thanks a lot for this utility.

I had a bit of difficulty since as soon as I plugged in my TF into my Windows 7 - 64bit PC, it detected the device and installed the drivers and treated it as a Flash Drive allowing me access to what is normally shown to Android user as /mnt/sdrom and /Removable/MicroSD.

As I am not a computer newbie as such I managed it to put the tablet into APX mode and then repeat the actions when it started looking for drivers and after that followed your instructions.

There also was a heart stopping moment where I was required to reboot the device and the Tablet looked to be unresponsive - had I bricked it? No I hadn't - I needed to disconnect it from the Windows PC and push the power On button and after that it rebooted.

Then I faced the next hurdle as I had not installed the Asus PC Synch on my PC as I had not felt the need for it - but every time I tried 'Check if ADB is working' option there was failure.

So I installed Asus PC Synch on the PC - but then Asus PC Synch kept saying it could not detect any device - so I had to reboot the Windows PC once again and then when I checked if ADB was working found that it was - so proceeded with rest of the process.

In the end it was a good result - but some of these points were missing in the instructions - though I am not sure how every such situation can be covered by instructions - after all rooting is meant for people who know what they are trying to do and not for computer novices. Thank you once again for the utility.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] louser:
Yes you are right I meant to say soft brick, I learned the difference on my Samsung Galaxy Tab, sorry about that. I was panicked like no other cuz I bought my TF from best buy while I was home on leave from Italy.

On a side note I installed an app and noticed superuser so I used root checker and low and behold I have root. Installed busy box from the market and looks like I'm all set. Just have to install CWM and start flashing roms!!!

Lou
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Danzano:
Comming up to an hr it looks stuck i followed instructions closed all other programs apart from this page obviously as im writing while this problems happening

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mingocr83:
Thanks! Worked like a charm!!! B70 with KAS179...awesome!

Now, how can I boot into custom recovery?

EDIT: Got it working...volume down+power, then volume up at the screen prompt...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sib64:
Thk's for your script.

My TFT is so happy, and me too ;)

Worked perfect.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] philippebla:
good for you,the mine B70409 not worked :( ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] adamslast:
Please could you give information on which version (v6 or v7B11) did you use?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sib64:
My TFT is WW 8.6.5.9 on HC 3.2

and I used V6 for one TFT and an another TFT 7B11

and I think V6 is much reassuring.. you see all the operations during the procedure.

7B11 is good too ;) but not final. So It must be waiting the final version.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ZillaLP:
same here , at B70KAS30, it does not work :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] alekosy:
Thank you for this useful program, Brk.

It is amazing how you guys make up these programs to work and My root was sucessfully rooted.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] adamslast:
Thanks for inf. I agree with you. I first tried v7b3 but it was unsuccessfull. Then I used v6 and rooted easilly. I am still not sure v7 b11 works properly. Waiting for v7 final.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Hi all.

V7 beta 12 is now available. It is getting close to v7.0 final, if no major bugs are found in this version, this will be final version.

Change log v7 beta12:

-bug fixes

-changed script for insecure boot creation

-added script for creating CWM recovery based on pad's recovery (it safer this way, but you will have to update recovery after) (thks rebound821 for the tip)

-added button for deleting superuser and busybox (beta)

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sib64:
Is it good for all version like famous TFT 101 BK70*** and BK80*** ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RushaPoiL:
I guess that when every B70 or B80 will be rootable, it will be written in bold...;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thebadfrog:
It's not bad......
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ad1980:
Unsuccessful using beta12. The process seems pretty straight forward and I followed it through without any issues. However, Titanium Backup does not get root. I installed and ran Root Checker and it said /sbin/su: Permission denied. I ran it a second time with the same results. I've had no issues getting the tab in APX mode, the root ran without any obvious errors, rebooted the pad, put debug on, ADB communication was good... Every step along the way I received "completed" messages.

I turned off the tablet and rebooted successfully into CWM though. I then tried to fix permissions, but it looks like it's hung up on that... Going to try and reboot it here shortly...

Any ideas?

Edit: Well it finished fixing permissions, but no change with the root status. Root Checker still shows no root, though BusyBox is installed. Also, running on B50 Tablet with current stock firmware.

2nd Edit: Alright, I wound up having to download Version 6.3.1 and I ran just steps 5 and 6 and finally achieved root. Maybe the new beta's aren't working too well?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mashedbymachines:
Same here. Beta12 gave no errors though I didnt get root.

However 6.3 worked fine :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] diamantericos:
Just got my pad Monday b70 using 6.3 1 say no such file external or internal apx mode fine adb also guess i have to wait till my device is rootable i truly hate stock anything on my devices
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mgrimmenator:
is it safe to try this on a b70 to see if it will work? like if i'm not sure which loader i have will this brick it or just fail?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] philippebla:
there is no danger either to try, if it does not work with your version b70 it will do nothing,

B70409 on my personal that is not spent, I'll sell it and buy a HTC flyer, 'because I personally think that we will never have access to your root with our versions B70 and B80,,

Hi BRK,

I've tried beta 14, but still have the problem: "System backup could not created. Backup file not found."

Tried also V6.3 for my B60 WW 8.6.5.9-20110816

Although all steps were done, I can't get root access. Su has been installed. Ti can't get root access.

I've rooted many HTC phones without issues, but this one is a pain in my .... :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mgrimmenator:
I get so far with this then it appears to fail. is this cuz of the B70 model or something else? see screenshot. I have this SN: B70KAS....

http://www.mediafire.com/i/?cr34q7d8d8xb267
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] diamantericos:
I understand what you mean but it takes patience and persistence. Rooting is simple one you follow instructions i have a B70 also just got it Monday tried rooting every day after work no luck. Trying again once i get home i hate stock on any device.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rob77:
Hi could anyone help me. Im running windows 7 and trying to get my b40 device rooted but have been unsuccesful so far. I've tried v7 of this programme but it comes back with with an error "could not find modded image, programme cannot continue". I then tried WW (8.6.5.9) v6.3 and managed to do steps 1 and 4 but cant push busybox or superuser to my pad via adb. I'm sure I have the correct drivers installed. Funnily enough clockwork manager has installed so does that mean I am rooted? ive tried installing superuser from the market but when i try and use root explorer it says my device isnt rooted. I've also tried installing busybox from the market but that wont work either. Any advice would be most appreciated :)

Edit to say that I finally got it working :) I had to install the asus pc suite for my device to be recognised in adb.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sib64:
Have you trying to reboot yours TFT and PC before to flash SU and Busybox.

Try that and after continue the procedure 4 to the end.

Normally it should work.

I had the same problem.

I used the WW (8.6.5.9) v6.3 and now I'm rooted with Android Revoltution HD et Kernel Clemsyn 2.0

And it's so good ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rob77:
Thanks for the reply philos. I managed to get adb working by installing the Asus pc suite. It must have needed some drivers from that to enable it to work
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sib64:
With PC suite that you've downloaded on Asus website, you've just need this script Brk.RootKit_WW v6.3.

Follow the procedure with one reboot when you have finished 1 and 3 process.

After, it's just rock'roll ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ElChouch:
Hi all,

Sorry if the question has already been asked but how can I know if I can root my TF or not ?

It's B70KAS27 if it can help
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sib64:
Have you tried with the Rootkit Universal V7 ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ElChouch:
Nope, will try
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sib64:
Ok try it and take a feedback ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ElChouch:
Just tried, here is what I get.

Sorry, I can't see your screen.

My work's proxy block some website.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ElChouch:
basically it says :

Error! Could not load bootloader.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wanahave:
Thanks for supporting me, but it will not solve my issue. :o

With the 6.3 script it looks like the whole process is succesfull. Even Superuser has been installed. But at the end the TF101 (again B60) is not rooted. :confused:

As said, I'm an experienced rooter and flasher. :D Have been in the HTC HD2 CoreDroid HD2 beta test team for a while and now supporting HTC Desire HD Bindroid.

So if anybody can tell me what to do? Are there maybe folders of files I could delete from internal memory which might be blocking something? I would be very thankful. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] diamantericos:
Its appears werere screwed till they find a solution to the bootloader issue. Oh wEll ill just have to enjoy this for now then give it to the wife of kid when better and rootable comes out.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sib64:
Have you make a reboot of yours pc and tft between process 3 and 4.

Sometimes it's just enough.

Once the processes 1 and 3 done, reboot yours PC and TFT and you can following the procedure from 4
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
A- You can use my script to install CWM recovery

B- To flash stock rom

1-Go to that site (tableroms) and download the stock US rom zip file.

2-Unzip the file to a new folder.

3-Connect usb cable to pad and to PC

4-Put pad in APX mode (volume up key + power key) (I assume that you already have APX driver installed)

5- Run download.bat from the folder where the zip file was unziped

6- Wait for pad flash (20 min or so)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] papertreeprophet:
Is there a way to just root the device, no custom recovery or anything as well? While I have my N1 rooted, and hacked six ways from Sunday, the only reason I want to root my TF, is to patch the files needed for netflix. Netflix is damn near a must with the job I work :P

And I know you answered about flashing stock, but would just rooting it wipe data? Doesn't bother me, running CM I am used to restoring things.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
You can just do root with my script, just select NO when it asks if you want to install CWM recovery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gobluewolverines4:
is installing stock. Img just like putting stock back on the Tf?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devilpera64:
I tried it but Root/Unroot process wasn't applied (all process was done). I red that with 8.4.4.11 Asus lock Bootloader and Nvflash is block. Effectively, i tried it and script installed only CWM, but root still remain also on old 3.1.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] BruinEric:
Used the script in post 1 today to root my 3.1, 8.4.4.11, install with success. Thank you very much.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chadster214:
can you please update this for the HC 3.2?? Thanks in advance!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SammyC:
Many thanks for the v4 script, that managed to install CWM for me! Good work (and obviously the work of others that got us to this point!)

:)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Bazzz66:
Would it be possible to add a menu option to Unroot? :confused:

I have to RMA my TF, because the last 0,5 cm of my screen has very little response (have to press hard before the screen notices a "press") :mad:

I only have rooted my TF, it has the original recovery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
You just have to install stock boot and delete superuser.apk from system.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
already available. Please report back.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chadster214:
I can confirm V5 beta works for HC 3.2
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wehweh:
Ok, so I'm coming from a 8.4.4.5 pure root. Anybody else try this? The CWM also never worked for me, hopefully this one does :P. I'll try it when I get off work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
If you are already rooted, it's probably better to use roach's updater.

This method is more for rooting stock roms and does not upgrade firmare.

sent from my cyanogen(mod) vision
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rpavich:
Hi,

I'm a little bit confused....does this root 3.2?

I tried it and it seemed like it using option #2 I'd come out with a rooted 8.4.4.11

I just want to make sure.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Download script v5_beta, and select option 9
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Clay333:
this does work on firmware v.8.4.4.5.2 right? I just bought my pad last night for $300 from Office Depot with the $100 staples coupon. I didn't see anything about this FW version on this thread. Im downloading now and about to run the script.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rpavich:
Whoops...I didn't read down that far...

This worked so well it should be illegal.

This was the easiest thing I've done on the TF...amazing.

Thanks very much for developing it!

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Update first to 8.4.4.1 or to HC3.2
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] elosogrande7076:
Im on .11 stock, not rooted and when I use this (either # 2 for us or #9) it says that it is successfully done but upon reboot I get stuck at the Asus screen and then into a bootloop.....any ideas?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] BumRush:
Could someone point out to me what HC is? Trying to root my B60 tablet and not sure what version to use.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sib64:
What's your version ? You've got a lot of choices

If your pad is WW (8.6.5.7) v6.2.1

Download Brk.RootKit_WW v6.2.1

WW (8.6.5.9) v6.3

Download Brk.RootKit_WW v6.3

US (8.6.5.6) v6.1

Download Brk.RootKit_US v6.1

US (8.6.5.9) v6.3.1

Download Brk.RootKit_US v6.3.1

TW (8.6.5.6) v6.1

Download Brk.RootKit_TW v6.1

TB (8.6.5.7) v6.2

Download Brk.RootKit_TB v6.2

TB (8.6.5.9) v6.3

Download Brk.RootKit_TB v6.3

DE (8.6.5.9) v6.3

You can use the latest version v7 too.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
New version available: v7 Beta 15

Before saying it don't work, make sure you have:

- APX drivers installed

- You know how to get to APX mode

- Asus sync installed and working

- ADB is working

V7 is universal, you can use it with any firmware version and with any localization release (US or WW or TW or ...)

There is not available yet a solution to root pad's with new bootloader. When it is available and public I'll had support for it in this software. Until then the only thing you can do is wait. If you don't know what version your pad is, check the serial number if it starts with B7O there is a chance that your pad have the new bootloader. If it start with B8O or higher, you for sure have the new bootloader.

Download: Brk's root Toolkit V7 beta 15

added button to install superuser only

added tooltips to buttons
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wanahave:
Thanks BRK, I really appreciate your hard work. I will try this version too. Hope it brings more luck.

Strange thing is that I was able to root my TF101 when it had HC3.1. But to install HC3.2 update from Asus, I had to unroot it. Now I'm still not lucky rooting it again. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Danzano:
I had problems with v7 went to v6 then back to v7 and it worked hopefully will work for others :)
