OK, I'm getting close. I have rooted and can finally get to CWM. When I try to choose my zip and flash, it says that e: can't mount. Is there anything else I need to do besides just root and CWM from this script before I can flash custom Roms?

zip Rom is on both my internal /sdcard and external sdcard. Do I need the update.zip? THX

Thanks, it worked like a charm. :)

Thanks to the op for this great package.

Mine hangs on the adb driver install. I've got a Win7 32 bit Netbook and the Drivers are fine in the system. But adb doesn't find the device. So I've downloaded superuser from market, let it run, search the superuser binaries in the www and flash them through the recovery and than installed busybox from the market.

So I got root without adb.

I hope this helps somebody.

But is there a hint, why adb can't find the device?

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
For ADB to see your device you have to do two things:

- Your pad must be running Android OS, NOT APX MODE

- You have to turn USB debug ON (in Settings>Applications>Development)

If ADB "misbehave" run in commad line:

adb killserver
adb startserver
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] FormelLMS:
Hm, strange.

ADB driver is installed correctly, debugging is on, device is fully booted.

But adb doesn't find it.

However, I've root, figured it out like I said above, but can't use adb.

I have successfully rooted my TF101 using Brk's script, thank you very much for such a great script!!! :D:D:D

I ordered my TF101 from Amazon on 8/4/2011, I received it yesterday (8/12/2011). Started reading this forums and learned that some TF101's with a serial number starting with B70 have locked bootloaders so I began to worry. Checked my serial #, and I did receive a B70. :( It came with HC3.1 WW 8.4.5.5.2 so I did the OTA update and it updated to HC3.2 US 8.6.5.6. Downloaded Brk's v6.1 script for the US version HC3.2 and followed the instructions regarding setting up the APX drivers, flashing the root and CWM recovery worked just fine, however I ran into an issue with ADB detecting the tablet. I read further into the thread and found that ASUS Sync needs to be installed on the PC for it to be detected. After installing ASUS Sync, I was able to push SU app and BusyBox via Brk's script. Everything is working, installed Titanium Backup and it gained root access without any issue, and I was able to boot into CWM! :D

I would like to thank the people who posted the information regarding needing ASUS Sync for ADB to detect the device, how to boot into CWM recovery, and the SDFormatter software that is to be used to properly format my SD card! :D:D:D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rebound821:
I have solved this problem in this way:

1- install asus sync on your pc and run it.

2- tap the asus sync icon on the taskbar of your tablet, then click on the popup window.

the tablet will search for asus sync on your pc. From this moment on, adb will work (but i still don't know why...).

My eee pad (B70K) wil get in apx mode (Ill see it in device manager with the nvidia driver), but will disconnect the apx mode as soon as I press "3" (install unsecure boot etc). ( I have asus synch, and when the pad is on, adb works. Anyone knows what i've done wrong?

yes, its in usb debugging mode

I got win 7 32 bit

i've tried different usb ports

This is what I get when apx disconnects:

Nvflash started

rcm version 0X4

Command send failed (usb write failed)

Flash root? (y/n):

Your pad has the new bootloader, you cannot root with this method (I think theres not yet a method to root with the new bootloader)

Hey guys,

I'm not sure what I'm not doing correctly but I still cannot gain root access to my B60 Transformer. I've got all the necessary software installed (ADB, ASUS Sync, & PC Suite) but for some reason ADB does not recognize my device when I'm in APX mode.

I've tried using the Rootkit script and it allowed me to go through steps 1 and 3 but when I tried step 4 or 5, the script tells me that I need to be connected to ADB to communicate to the PC.

Also even though I was able to proceed to step 3, the firmware and kernel didn't change in the the "About" settings.

Can anybody assist me?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] joking:
From the first post, you need to boot to Android OS before you continue step 4 and 5

So any solution to root B7 with the new SBK guys?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] theroblog.com:
This never would work for me actually. I used Windows and Brk's ASUS Transformer HC3.2 RootKit Script WW,US,TW,TB(pure root method)

at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1185104

Neither V4 or the V5 beta 6 would root (it would transfer the file but never got root), but I used the rootkit to get CWM installed.

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16420142#post16420142 pure root wouldn't work either).

Then I installed roaches CWM 3.2.0.1 update zip via the CWM installed by BRK's root kit.

I got the Honeycomb su update .zip from androidsu.com and applied it using roaches CWM:

Eclair/Froyo/Gingerbread/Honeycomb (2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.0)

md5: a2844ac335a5c1cfdb9bea2fc041b415

su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip | mirror | RM Web Connect

I had SU via Market , but the update zip does a CHMOD to 6755 IIRC, so apparently that fixes su.

Titanium backup working now. I'd rather have not had CWM installed, but it works at least. Plus I guess it's handy for backups. Just didn't want to break OTA updates.

I tried http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1198303 in a Parallels machine, but it never would see my TF in APX mode.

My TF info:

B60 serial number

Fresh HC install via OTA before trying Brk's ASUS Transformer HC3.2 RootKit Script

HTJ85B.US_epad-8.6.5.6-20110726 build

..and you know the rest.

Something's wrong somewhere, as I could install CWM so of course APX was working, but no root was gained for that part.

I spent the better part of a day on this so throwing a buck on me wouldn't hurt. :) If you got CWM but no root, this may be your fix.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dothan80:
Guys.... I wonder the backup for US 8.6.5.6 really work? :confused:

This is because I proceed to perform backup after putting the device into APX mode. It does trigger the bootloader and the display showed 2 lines of words. But the backup of my device's stock images takes forever to complete. I had to use Ctrl + C to break out the .bat command.

Eventually I had seen the backup folder with date but no images inside.

Anybody with US HC 3.2 8.6.5.6 able to get his/her device rooted using Brk Rootkit?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
There could be an error moving the backup files to the proper folder if there is a space chracter in the path to the folder of this rootkit. If the backup folder is empty, please check in the nvflash folder if there are a boot.img and a recovery.img

Do I really have to install the asus usb driver and pc sync before doing so?

The steps I missed was installing the asus usb driver (not APX driver) and pc sync which I thought not necessary.

Hi. Don't know the answer because that update isn't available to WW pads yet. But you can try. 1st make a backup of boot.img and recovery.img. 2nd install root like in 8.6.6.6, check if it works. If not restore the backuped boot.img and recovery.img

Can you please share the boot.img and recovery.img form stock rom (the ones from the above backup) so I can update the script? Thanks.

Quick question: my TF tells me, that the build-number is HTJ85B.DE_epad-8.6.5.7-20110730, so which file from the first post do I have to choose? WW (8.6.5.7) v6.2.1 or TB (8.6.5.7) v6.2?

And what does WW (Europe version?), US (US-version?) and all the other things mean? From the smartphones there are different CSC-files for all parts of the world, but for the TF?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
There's no script available yet for DE version, but if you send me the stock boot.img and recovery.img, I'll make a DE version.

To get stock boot.img and recovery.img download WW script and select option 1 (backup) and share with me the two files.

Allowed the OTA update to process. Worked fine. Now at 8.6.5.9.

then Superuser should be permanently deleted.

Correct??
