After reboot my tablet reboot, but all application need root, IE Titanium Backup still work and update to 3.2 will fail.

After that my TF is not able to find FOTA update anymore.

Any help would be apreciated.

Thanks

Edit: it worked.....kind of. I got root but had bootloops. I also got the recovery tho, so i just sideloaded a sd card with revolver rom on it, flashed it, and every thing is good now
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
You want to put your pad back to stock, or you want to flash 3.2 update? For the 3.2 update you showld use Roach's CWM zip file. For putting your pad to stock, read some posts back, that information is already posted.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
You shoulded made all OTA updates up to HC3.2 and after that appl root.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jimmytheflea:
This method works perfectly for me with the latest 3.2 firmware. Knowing what nvflash and ADB are before doing this are useful so you know what you are doing.

Thanks for the work to make it easy.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] amaddux:
Unroot without reset of TF

I originally rooted my TF on the 8.4.4.11 stock rom in order to install the netflix patch and to restore my gmail widget. I did this using just the pure root method, and not with the batch script. However, since they are related I'd hoped to unroot using the batch script, option 5, then y to all three options.

This results in the tablet only going to the boot screen. I then have to put it back into APX mode, and run option 2 again, hitting y to all three questions.

Should I be able to unroot without re-flashing the whole tablet to stock and losing my settings? I know I'll loose netflix for now, so I don't want to create a thread on root vs unroot. Should I be answering the questions differently when running option 5?

I've also noticed after the OTA update failed to install, it no longer shows up as an option to download or install. If I do manage to unroot, how do I get the TF to give me the option to do the OTA update again?

Thanks for any help.

@ ss4rob, firstly you lucky sod, iv got a b70 unrootable, i would say root and flash 1 of the custom roms, there based on the upgrade and waaaaaaay better.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wanahave:
Just flash a nice 3.2.1 ROM from any of the Devs. I'm on Prime 2.0.2 which is great. Fast and smooth. But you can choose and try yourself. Play with different kernels and OC.

No more Asus stock for me. LOL
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] milleirish:
ss4rob if you use this toolkit, I think you need to be updated to at least 8.6.5.xx like it says in the title. I could be wrong on that tho.

No matter what I do I can't boot into recovery... I have a B40 TF101, but I have sent it in for maintenance a few times and I believe it might have a newer motherboard in it. Would this cause issues with flashing since it very well may be a b70 or b80 mobo? Is there any way I can determine what the internal specifications on my TF101 are?

I've tried it and works well.

Did you give it root access with SU ? Normally, yes when you want to going in your recovery.

Try to install "Quick reboot" apk in the market.

But I think that it don't work for recovery, but for reboot, power off, sure it's fine.

HC 3.1 & build number

Hi!

I have:

Android Version: 3.1

Build Number: HMJ37.US_epad-8.4.4.11-20110711

To use this tool, simply upgrade to Android Version: 3.2 & Build Number: 8.6.5.9(US) - via OTA or through ASUS Support Website - then utilize this tool, correct? - This will install Clockworkmod (CWM) Recovery?

Then update (through physical microSD card) - to version: 3.2.0.1 roach-tf101-r1?

Let me know.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wake69:
Will this work with the slider?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wake69:
I tried and it didnt work :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] milleirish:
Thank you, once I set everything up, root went smooth.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ss4rob:
I successfully rooted and clockwork mod was installed however when I went to manually update it by installing the zip file from my sdcard I am now no longer able to boot into recovery mode - it is frozen at "Booting recovery kernel image". I've tried restoring the recovery image and a few different versions of tf_rootkit to know avail. How can I either A.) get CWM back or B.) get stock recovery back? Oye.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ss4rob:
I think my problem was because I was at firmware 8.4.4.11. I fixed this by upgrading manually by copying the ASUS/Update/US_epad-user-8.6.5.6.zip from the ASUS website to the internal storage of the pad and upgrading. Then I re-ran the 7.1 toolkit and I have root and CWM again. The instructions mention upgrading the cwm_recovery_3.2.0.1_roach_tf.zip but the last time I did this I lost the ability to go into recovery at all. Should I just stay at the current cwm 3.1.0.1 or risk going to this newer version? Thanks for any advice!

I just followed the instructions in the util (get tab into APX mode, press Backup and Root). So no idea if insecure boot was installed. How would I check?

As for rebooting, yes, I did reboot.

Thanks

After close inspection, I don't think the utility managed to install cwm. FYI, my device is B50KAS
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sib64:
It's not difficult to root your TF BK50 if you follow exactly the procedure in the 1st post.

If you're not sure that you've installed all, repeat the procedure from the beginning.

If you are root, but SU and Busybox are not installed, go back in process 4 ;)

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Tiffany84:
Was it a b60 or a b70 and were you on hc 3.1 or 3.2? Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Tiffany84:
Holy crap. I used v7.1 of the script on my brand new B70 revision transformer and it worked!!!! I now have root. Thank you so much. One question though. My battery was low so I skipped the backup of the system.img so if I need to take it back to stock is there a way I could or no? Also, is it safe to except ota's or not. Thanks again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
There are ways to get back to stock.

The OTAs will generally cause you to lose root. If you mod any file that gets updated in the OTA, it will not apply because it first checks to makes sure the file is still stock. You can mod the OTA to flash and keep root ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Tiffany84:
Not sure how to mod the ota. Maybe I can research how to do that. So my new Transformer has some light bleed. Is that something that happens a lot? It bugs me but I would hate to swap it out and get one that couldn't be rooted so if it's a common issue on Transformers it would make me feel a little better about it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
Yeah, at this point, if you want a rooted TF, then you get the light bleed for free. I think it's fairly common because of the technology used to make the screen.

Rebound821 made a thread about make insecure boot images in the TF dev section, which is the first step in making a custom OTA.

To revert to stock, you could use nvflash, or at some point, ASUS will probably release a full 8.6.5.13 ROM that be used to flash back to stock.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Karma Elite:
After several attempts, I have all but given up on getting this to work. I have followed all of the instructions, but it fails every time no matter what I do. After getting the Transformer to APX mode and selecting the "Backup and Root" button, a command prompt window comes up and does two file transfers very quickly. However, on the third file transfer, it gets stuck at "4517888/5242880 bytes received". I've let it sit for over 20 minutes with no pop-ups or prompts for me to interact with. After the 20 or so minutes, I'm given the following popup error:

"NvFlash command as returned an error.

Is your pad in APX mode?

Program cannot continue."

I'm running the utility on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and the following are my Transformer's specs:

Android version: 3.2.1

GPS version: V5.5.8

Wi-Fi version: V5.2.63

Bluetooth version: V6.24
