Those of you having problem with adb seeing your device you must have asus sync.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GjU_wF7j5c&feature=player_detailpage this helped me so that I could use brk method and download busy box and superuser hope I have helped some one.

I'm afraid you have to wait until the sbk of the unrootable b7O is leaked/discovered, so for now just enjoy your stock 3.2.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] 2manytoys:
Damn, I thought that may be the case.

Why is it this way. If I buy an ASUS Laptop I can do whatever I want? (rhetorical quuestion)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] FormelLMS:
Hm, sorry, if I'm asking a bad question.

I have my transformer since yesterday and now I've seen this thread.

Am I reading correct? I can use the stock rom, but it is rooted then?

Do I loose any Data (sd, internal or settings)

Sorry for asking this. If it is so easy, I can do this now, but if I have to setup everything new, I can do this only next week and I can't use the transformer anymore.

And, hey, I have the latest Honeycomb 3.2 update from Asus.

Thanks for clarification.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sousukeM24R3:
me too although I'm on WW 3.2. been trying since WW 3.1 to install CWM but didn't seem to work. root works though :S
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Bazzz66:
Brk,

Super tnx, worked flawlessly.

Just 2 small side notes:

1. Typo when flashing root (Brk.RootKitWW), option1, it says fash (just a detail)

2. My own mistake, I forgot to install busybox and Superuser (I had the SU ap from my previous root. I did not get root with Titanium Backup, the script and TF screen said both succes. I looked over option 5 and 6.

Perhaps make a note somewhere that you need this installed (again) to gain root

Tnx again..:D

Issue with Recovery

I'm having an issue booting into recovery. I ran the root/recovery script, and I seem to have root access, but when I try to boot into recovery, it just does a standard reboot. I do the adb reboot recovery, Rom Manager recovery reboot, and power/VolDown button reboot, and they all take me back to the standard startup. and Rom Manager doesn't recognize that CWM recovery is installed.

Any thoughts? I even tried just running the recovery portion of the batch script. Let me know if you can help, or point me in the right direction. Rooting my thunderbolt wasn't this complex.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Aioria:

I download a V5 beta 6 or Brk.RootKit_WW??
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] noovot:

Any chance to root a TB (Belgian) transformer?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] shanehillsr:
Okay I'm confused can I use this script if I am currently running 3.2 or do I have to downgrade?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Yes, as long it's not revision B70.

Download Brok.RootKit_WW and select option 2 to backup your current boot.img and recovery

Share those file with me and I'll make a script version TB
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Use the last version (V6). You don't have to downgrade, you must not downgrade.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hardy81:
All honor to your enthusiasm, but I disagree. Did everything according to instructions, as I've done when previously rooting the TF. Failed, ended up with a device which booted to a screwed up colorful screen of garbage.

Did you notice that I had ww 8.6.5.7? The startes email of this thread lists 8.6.5.6.

Now back to 3.1 and OTA for some reason no longer works.

Decided also not to root in the future. Too much hassle.

hmm... how to delete a double message...

Update: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16393393&postcount=209

You can ignore the rest of this post - all worked well.

----

So:

I have a B70 and I did get root without problems.

But only root.

Flashing the recovery image failed with the following error: "executing command 2147483647 NvError 0x4" which I doubt it will be resolved until the SBK is found/leaked/calculated/bruteforced or ASUS lightens up. EDIT: on the other hand it might just say "file not found" in which case there is a spelling mistake in the script, where it declares the location of the CWR :)

So, my experience with a B70 and V6 of the script is:

Option 1 will give you root, but not a cracked bootloader.

Option 2 (Backup) works fine even before you root.

And after the rooting is successfully done,

Options 5/6 work fine (if you have your tablet in USB debugging mode for adb to work).

Your mileage may vary.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] shanehillsr:
Ok I got root the SU app is there etc. the only problem is I cannot figure how to reboot into recovery. Any tips, trick or ideas?

nevermind figured it out...

Hi,

I tried to root my TF It is a 3.2 US version so I used the "Brk.RootKit_US" and at the root part the screen just sat at nvflash for like a half hour before I rebooted, nothing happened. (this is my first time trying to root, actually my first android OS anything.

anyone know why that would happen?

(I did back up my images and that worked great.

I guess I am going to try again with v5, just had me worried,

thanks,

Uploaded new version v6.1 with minor fixes.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Xerravon:
I tried rooting my TF 3.2 US ver using the v6 Brk.RootKit_US file (not 6.1) it backed up fine, then I hit 1 to root, the pc screen said nvflash and just sat there, after about 30 min's I rebooted, everything seemed ok (not rooted, unchanged.

I went to try to use a different ver rootkit and now this is happening

It wont go into APX mode, it seems like it is, I have to hold down the power button a long time to get it to reboot, but when I try to use the batch file it says it isn't running. I noticed my MTP isnt installing(it says device unplugged) I tried uninstalling all asus drivers and software from my PC (Win7 x64) and reinstalling, still doing the same.

any ideas how to fix the MTP thing? it seems to be the problem, oh asus sync doesn't see my TF either

thanks for any help,

John

Edit, It wasn't going into apx mode, I couldn't find the apx driver in the device manager (so I could uninstall it)so I did a system restore back before installing it, then reinstalled it when needed, after that it was working fine again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Xerravon:
Hi,

I think I got my tf rooted!! It seems to have worked perfectly I used version 6.1 US this time, everything seemed to go smooth. I backed up my images, rooted, installed superuser, and busybox. (I think anyway)

I am not sure now, how do I know if I am rooted? I saw superuser in my apps but not busybox?

Thanks for the script's, I am goint to try to get Netflix running now.

I have a b70 S/N. If i try this, can anything bad happen? My thinking is that it will either work... or not do anything at all. Is this correct?

I will let you know how i go.

Edit - so far everything has been saying 'finished' and successful. So maybe it did work. I am rebooting now... and it started up... i have no clue how to check if its rooted or not, so i am going to install superuser and try a rooted app.

superuser and busybox installed and now rebooting again -> lets see if i have root

I installed titanium and su came up and requested root... and it worked :D

Now i just need to work out how to get into recovery and install custom roms.

thank you very much for the script
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Xencer:
This is probably the worst "tutorial" I have ever seen. So I have to install the stock USB drivers and while the device is booting up I have to uninstall the stock usb drivers to install the modified usb drivers? Windows keeps saying I have the best drivers already installed so it won't let me install the new ones.:mad::mad::mad:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] patriotaus:
maybe you should read the 'tutorial' it says read the faq. the FAQ tells you how to do everything. DL the file and press 9 to read the FAQ.

But considering you have already went ahead without reading the FAQ you have missed a bit in the first step. When you connect the TF you have to stop windows installing its own drivers. So you should now try to uninstall the drivers you already have, and then install the new ones.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] FormelLMS:
Uhm,

I'm not sure, so I wanna ask...

I've a stock unrooted 3.2 Honeycomb.

If I use this, is the device wiped? Or do I have my last setup + root access by using this?

Sorry, I think, this question is not clear, or my haven't recognized it correct^^
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] galt:
Device is not wiped.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] eddiemerckx:
brk,

the options in the FAQ don't match the script. (it says 1 is root but root is 3 and 1 is just backup, ...)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] JimmyLeeBillyBob:
Just rooted my B70 transformer with brk's script. It went really smoothly. I did not install cwm, though. I don't need it (yet). After flashing I had a little trouble runnging adb but I remembered reading about running asus sync, which I did. After like half a minute or so it would detect my pad and I could run adb to push superuser. All in all great script. Thanks brk!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xxxman999:
I have gained Root and everything was dandy. Today, I went back to the script to install CWM and everything's went through successfully. It even said "!!!Phone updated successfully!!!" after I install CWM. Problem is I still cannot get to Recovery. I have tried the "Vol- + Power, then Vol+ and to no avail. I installed Rom Manager and Quick Boot apps and used them to reboot to Recovery but no go. It just boots up the TF normally. Am I missing something? Any advice is appreciated.

US TF 3.2 8.6.5.6

B70 SN
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Barsky:
Yes, this slowed me down quite a bit since I didn't feel secure doing things when step numbers didn't match the steps in the current script. But I took a guess and it and it all worked out. Great app. Nasty instructions :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dsummey30:
Yeah I'm having the same problem also i cant get into CWM. I have a B60 SN is the only difference.

Hey guys I got CWM to work I went and downloaded the WW v6.2 and changed the image in the root folder to CWMrecovery8656.img and reran the .bat file from the WW V6.2 and did opt. 3 and when it asked to flash root hit n for no. and then on flash recovery hit Y for yes. and i was able to get into CWM after that.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Xencer:
Well I've tried to uninstall the drivers and then when I try to install the modified one it says i already have the latest drivers??
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Xencer:
When I put my pad in APX mode I don't get anything to show up in device manager although I do hear the windows sound, and I have something that says bluetooth peripheral device but I can't install the modified drivers to that.

EDIT: Finally got it to work, I was hung up on the drivers, which I never needed to install in the first place, also the menu typos threw me way off
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] CinderWild:
The rooting worked perfectly in the US version, I'm grateful that my B70 isn't locked down like some seem to be.

However, I flashed CWM recovery and was not able to boot into it using the normal methods. I'm beginning to think it must be a problem with the script or with this version of the recovery itself? Any update would be awesome.

But for now, I'll enjoy my newly rooted Transformer without complaint:cool:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ondoy1943:
In the event you find out that cwm is not installed, then your other best alternative to install it is via this method:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16239991&postcount=1
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] eddiemerckx:
For those unable to access the recovery:

Hold down [Volume -] AND [power] untill you see a small white text in the left upper corner saying you have 5 seconds to press [Volume +] to access the recovery (I guess it says RCK, not recovery).

It takes a while to get to the white text. First you see the Asus and Nvidia logo, then a black screen flash and then again the same Asus and Nvidia and THEN the white text pops up.

Hope this helps some as I too was unable to access the recovery through apps like Quickboot.

APX fail

Hi,

I am trying to root my stock Honeycomb 3.2 pad 8.6.5.6 US version from Windows XP.

Have ASUS PC suite installed.

Following the instructions, after booting the pad into APX mode, I ignore the Windows automatic hardware installation and try to install the APX driver manually using the Nvidia USB driver provided in the rootkit. But then upon completion of driver installation, I get a message saying "problem encountered while installing Nvidia usb boot-recovery driver for mobile devices".

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] galt:
That's how it works, you are ready to run root. I spent hours trying to get the "check adb" part to work while in Vol Up + power mode because I didn't understand that you had to just be booted into the regular os only to check it. If you get the serial number listed in the check adb part you are good to go, just book back into the Vol Up + power mode and run the rooting steps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Pete720:
Did this script package also install Clockwork? I have a US running 8.6.5.6. I just ran the batch and my pad is rooted and I told it yes to recovery install but I cannot seem to get into clockwork

How do I make only ROOT in the new version 6.2.?

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] AlienCraB:
Just wanted to give an FYI,

As I've just found a naming / script error in the files that I've just downloaded.

I kept getting errors that your script couldn't find CWMrecovery8656 under images > root.

Then When I looked under the images > root folder I noticed that the file named as CWMrecovery8656 in your script was named as CWMrecovery8657 in the filesystem :)

So changing that solved the problem, guess you've updated something in one place then forgot the other one, happens to all of us.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] AlienCraB:
In the cmd file that you run, it says "To root your device run the 3rd", so yes that is what you need to do.

If you try to run CWM and get an error I just pointed out what delayed me for a moment.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] shpitz:
But I run the script Version WW 6.2 and I get the line:

1 Backup current Boot.img and/or Recovery.img

2 Install Stock Boot.img and/or stock Recovery.img

3 Install unsecure Boot and/or CWM Recovery

4 Install superuser.apk via ADB

5 Install busybox via ADB

I installed everything and it all seemed to go as planned but whats weird is when i have the tab in APX mode ADB won't communicate but when i just have the tab running in android plugged in usb the ADB will communicate. So when i put in APX mode and try to install superuser it errors out sayin no such directory...its running 3.2 OTA
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] joking:
That's how it suppose to work. ADB mode only work in HC OS. If you read in the 1st post, you have to boot to HC OS before install superuser and busybox.
