I get nvflash started resume mode but it stays there for a while no response
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] melmotion:
I used version 6.3.1 on my B60 US (8.6.5.9) and got to step 4 installing boot image and CWM. However, I cannot connect via adb for busybox and Superuser. Any suggestions?

Since I can get into CWM, Would a custom ROM install properly without busybox and superuser?

The latest beta 15 cannot detect APX mode.

Edit: I tried it again just now and adb worked. My TF is fully rooted :) YAY!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mgrimmenator:
what is needed so that B70 and B80 versions can be rooted. Are we waiting on a leak of the new bootloader, an sdk or what? Is there any reason why this can not be requested from ASUS? just wondering what the status is.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] P4d0uch:
Hi I just want to ask. My serial number is B70KAS1738.. and my question is can i root my Transformer?

hello, it was not no progress soon since one month on this post, even the messages are awaiting moderation, I think, unfortunately, those who like me have a version B70 or B80 will never root,,

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GrijzeGeest:
Very much hope you are wrong about that, having a b80 myself...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] philippebla:
I hope I am wrong !!!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thebadfrog:
.net framework is Windows. You need to install .net framework
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mgrimmenator:
thx, for the info. i actually found that myself a bit ago and if you notice mine is the last comment that is still waiting approval from moderator and its been about 5days. I really hope that this is not a dead subject like others keep saying and that we will never get root, otherwise i'm incline to take it back to store and I even bought the keyboard for it too. sux if it don't get rooted.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] parmend:
I'm trying to start the root process over because I think I messed up somewhere and I can't get into apx mode. Its not an option in the device manager. The very first time i started I held the power up and volume up and a pop up on my computer came up and right clicked apx and updated the driver and now that I started over I can't even get that pop-up to update the apx driver .
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sib64:
What's your bootloader's version ?

If you have installed PS suite (with all), normally it's easy to connect your TFT with your pc and get into apx mode.

Go on Asus website support, choose your OS, downoad PC suite, and install on your PC. Reboot your PC, an after, you can follow the procédure by Brk
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] parmend:
Us 8.6.5.9 , model b70kas146964. I installed the suit and tried to put it in apx mode but it does nothing . I know it can do it because I did it the first time I tried to root it . I noticed when I click the tab "install drivers " every thing is checked green except the nvidia corporation its says installed failed. Maybe I have the new bootloader idk.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] lhhv:
hi,

If your pad is TW (8.6.5.6) v6.1 Link not working...Pls re-upload.

Thank so much.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sib64:
Have you reboot your Pc before to connect your pad in apx mode with your pc.

With your boot's version, you can use this Brk's verion Toolkit:

Download Brk.RootKit_US v6.3.1
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] lhhv:
Download Brk.RootKit_TW v6.1

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wanahave:
Unfortunately v7 beta 15 didn't either.

More strange is that I cannot access bootloader anymore. If I bring my B60 in APX mode, the search for new device pops up and the TF is shown under USB controllers. But when running 6.3 or V7 I got the "cannot acces bootloader" error

I have HC 3.2 with buildnumber: HTJ85B.WW_epad-8.6.5.9-20110816

When I put the TF101 in recovery mode, surprisingly CWR seems to be installed. So I pushed the blob from 8.6.5.9. into the TF101. Now CWR is gone but I could not flash the EP101_SDUPDATE.zip yet. Got stuck in the Green Android with exclamation symbol.

Any ideas?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sib64:
I think that the best you can do: re-install all.

If you have installed PS suite (with all), normally it's easy to connect your TFT with your pc and get into apx mode.

Go on Asus website support, choose your OS, downoad PC suite, and install on your PC. Reboot your PC, an after, you can follow the procedure by Brk with Download Brk.RootKit_WW v6.3 in your case

Connect on apx mode and normally you haven't problem.

Just between process 3 and 4, reboot your pc and your tft, and normally, you must continue without problem.

I've got the same boot, and I've take that, now I'm on Revolution 1.2.2 with Roach's recovery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wanahave:
Thanks for helping me out but I've done all of it already several times :(.

Downloaded the OS

pushed the blob file

flashed the original OS version

PC suit installed

ADB works fine (have access with android commander)

Start up in APX mode

But then no access to boot loader with both 6.3 as v7 beta15. A few days ago I was still able to get access to boot loader. Actually 6.3 was succesfull, but TF101 was still not rooted although CWR was installed. I could startup the TFT in Clockworkmod Recovery. But suddenly I could not access boot loader anymore. Tried also another PC, but no succes either.

So I decided to unroot the tablet and flashed the OS again. Unfortunately still no boot loader access.

Maybe I will try an older OS version. Perhaps if I go back to HC 3.1 it might work again.

I just can't get access to boot loader. :mad:

EDIT:

At last i have found the boot loader access problem. It occured when trying to access with my 2 Windows 7 64 bit computers.

I gave it one more shot with my 32 bit Windows 7 machine, and now the 6.3 script ran succesfully.

I have my TFT101 rooted again. YES :) :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] FabricioGS:
Guys, I just got a Transformer from NY, with buildnumber: HTJ85B.US_epad-8.6.5.9-20110816 and this root method V7 doesn't work on it. It even says that my device is rooted and reboots it but it's not. Any advice? :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wanahave:
Look at my edited post right above you. I had exactly the same problem. But solved it now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] FabricioGS:
Thanks. My pc is also a Win 7 x64, will try it on a Win 32 bits with the older script then.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sib64:
I'm on Win 7 64 bits, and when I have making TFT's root and flashing Revolution 1.2.2, everything are running perfectly with the procedure that I've explained ;)

That's why I can writing this procedure.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wanahave:
Well at least if people have issues when on Win7 x64, they can try it with 32 bit. For me it worked :)

BTW I've followed your tip to restart the PC during the process.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Hi all!

V7.1 final is now available at 1st post.

Still no news for B70+ pad's
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] FabricioGS:
No go for me with v7.1 :(

Installing Win 32 bits for now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
what didn't work? is because your pad has the v2 bootloader?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] FabricioGS:
See a few posts back, my 1st post.

I tried v6.x, v7.0 and v7.1, none worked on my device. It says it can find my bootloader.

How can I check the bootloader version of it?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] parmend:
Yeah I did all the steps but its a no go. When I try to boot into apx mode the device manager screen refreshes but all I see is "sm bus controller ". I've reinstalled all the drivers and factory reset the TF. I just dosent want to boot into apx mode :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] parmend:
If I already updated the apx driver, when i boot into apx mode will it say apx in the device manager? Or does it go away when i update it ? When i boot into apx mode do you always get the pop up on the computer new hardware found or you just have to know that its in apx mode ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] FabricioGS:
Here's the error I have with Brk.RootKit_US v6.3.1 (my pad is US 8.6.5.9):
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sib64:
Normally you should see an another device like APX or something else.

I don't remember cos I haven't my TF at work :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Sorry, you have the new bootloader. There is not a solution available for that yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Try to connect to other USB port and don't use external USB hubs for connecting your pad.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sib64:
Thk's @Brk for your answer.

But for me everything is rock'n roll.

Root + Roach2010 Recovery + Rom Revolution 1.2.2 + OC Daemon = :)

I think so :( sorry, bad trip. But your version ident is so strange.

It seems a mix like :

If your pad is WW (8.6.5.7) v6.2.1

Download Brk.RootKit_WW v6.2.1

and

If your pad is TW (8.6.5.6) v6.1

Download Brk.RootKit_TW v6.1

So are you sure that's TW ?

Thanks I'm rooted :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Hi all.

I still need your help to get this program better. I tested the program myself with my pad and it worked fine., but if it doesn't work for you don't just say it doesn't work! Please make a print screen of the error, and send it to me, with a description of what happened and pad version. Only this way I can check if there are still errors in the program.

Thanks.

Ok, in our case with the new bootloader v2 you need us to do any other testing or need more information?

Any news about B80...

I own 3 Android devices ( 2 phones: HTC Magic 32A and Nexus S, and my TF101 with dock ) phones both rooted and with custom roms, so flashing its now a new thing for me. But this B80 thing is driving me nuts. I did try everything and I saw that B70 are not rootable... I guess B80 its the same story but is there anyone working on that... Maybe I can help somehow... Just can't stand been unrooted no more =P
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] :
using the latest v7.1 of this tool i put my new transformer into apx mode and windows recognized it and all then i start up this tool go to make backup and root and it gives me an error message saying it cannot not load into bootloader i have the US tf on 8.5.6.9 with android 3.2. So how can i fix this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thebadfrog:
What does the serial number start with? B80?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] :
Im sorry i dont know where to find that. Could you please tell me where it is? but in build number the first section is htj85B

Edit: I just found it and yes it starts with B80 damn! is there any other way to rootand change to custom rom with this version?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thebadfrog:
Nope

Damn! Well thanks for helping me out. Guess ill just have to wait. Im happy to be part of this community :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gobslotch:
I can't thank you enough man, I was paniced when I saw I had a b70 and didn't think I would ever get to put a custom rom on here. Seriously you've made my year!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thebadfrog:
Some B70's cant be rooted either. Sorry to crush you like that but maybe your a lucky one.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gobslotch:
Rooting was a hassle but I had it rooted before i had it rom'd. Took several attempts. And after reading all the horror stories I feel very lucky. It would have gone back to store if I couldn't get it a different rom tho.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] smarti13:
great

worked great for my B50 TF

thanksssssss
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] greeny2010:
Initially, the firmware is a US version. After back from RMA, the firmware is a TW version. My local service center must have flashed it to the TW version.

I've tested with the 6.1 and still the same result. Either no bootloader found or no APX detect.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] MarkM83:

Im able to get my windows 7 to install both nvidia drivers and apx drivers. It even pops up holding vol up + power. But BRK fails both 6.3 and 7.1 version.

Is there anything im doing wrong, or do I have to wait for rayman and co.?

I just got my TF back from rma and now my screen works but I need to root it again. It's a B40 but I want to make sure they didn't do anything to the software while they had it. This is the info from my TF.

HTJ85B.US_epad-8.6.5.9-20110816

This is still rootable, right?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Xerravon:
Hi,

I used the batch version to root my TF back on the 3.2 update, then a different way to update it on the last update. Now I am at US ver 8.6.5.9 rooted and am getting a popup notification wanting me to update to 8.6.5.13.

Is there a way to use this ver 7 to update my TF and keep root?

I think the answer is no (at least not without unrooting then updating then re rooting using this software)

thanks for any help,

John
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sib64:
Not yet, cos you've got the new firmware who's updated by OTA
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ValenteL:
If your pad is WW (8.6.5.9) v6.3

Download Brk.RootKit_WW v6.3

Thaks.

My Eee Pad work well whit that root.

The guide is o.k.

Thanks to all that make this.:D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Xerravon:
Thanks, The way I understand, this one is to root unrooted TF's

John
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
About the new update:

- If you want to install the new FOTA update you need two things:

1 - Have stock recovery installed (you can use v6.3 to restore original recovery)

2 - Have stock versions of some system files (if you changed some system file to install 3g dongle support or netflix support, the update will fail)

- After the update installation you will loose root and CWM recovery, you can root again with v7 script

- I'm sure that Roach or someone will release a CWM package with new update and root. This is the update method that I recommend.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] realdope:
Hi to al devs are there any news about rooting the transformer with new bootloader?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Xerravon:
Brk,

Thank you, I will wait, like you recommend, but am going to grab v6.3 just in case I need it later.

Actually, I think I found what I need, here, if I am reading/understanding it correctly, just hoping for a reply in the thread it is in.

The new program v7 looks great! cant wait to see where you go with it!!

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Von Ropen:
Hi brk,

Thanks for your tutorial, which I follow step by step but unfortunately it does not work for me.

My tablet is HTJ85B.WW_EPAD-8.6.5.9-20110816 and my bootloader is B70.

I do every thing on the tutorial, I installed pc suite, usb drivers the way you explaned on the tutorial and I put my tablet on apx. (I installed the drivers as you explained, selecting the usb from usbpcdrivers folder on rootkit). ADB is working, and I can connet to my pc with no problem. I reboot my pc serval times in order to do it correctly but, on step 4 backup an root, a popup window appear saying bootloader could not be loaded to pad, is you pad in apx mode? program cannot continue. In fact I'am on APX but there is no way, I repeat this procedure serval times and changing drivers from 64 to 32... with no lucky. My pc is windows 7 64...

So should I guess that my bootloader is not rootable? :(

Thanks in advance :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sib64:
Did you use the last version of Root Toolkit ?

Maybe you must trying the older version : If your pad is WW (8.6.5.9) v6.3 => Download Brk.RootKit_WW v6.3, just for trying, in case...

Cos I'm on win 7-64bits, and the root will be proceed without problem. I've used this version.

and your PC communicate with your pad by apx mode, and if you've proceed like in the 1st post, normally you should be root.

The date of your version is 16/08/2011...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Von Ropen:
Thanks for your reply :)

Yes I tryed last version of root toolkit,

I am going to try rootkit 6.3 and I tell you...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pside15:
Can anyone please verify that I still will be able to root my TF judging by the info above? I'm not really sure what I am looking for in regards to what bootloader I have.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sib64:
If you want an answer, you can take the time to read 1st post writing by Brk.

Or try this :

f your pad is US (8.6.5.9) v6.3.1

Download Brk.RootKit_US v6.3.1
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] G-FACE:
I've just rooted my 8.6.5.13 tf with v7.1 without any problems.

Thanks brk.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] stevenlong:
I'll chime in as well. Did the OTA upgrade and ran 7.1 root without any problems.

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pside15:
Thanks, I read the first post but I wanted to make sure Asus didn't do anything with the bootloader or something while they had it because I don't know what I'm looking for in regards to that. I guess I should have added that I wasn't on 8.6.5.9 when I sent it in so I know they at least updated the FW.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Von Ropen:
Hi again,

First I tryed first version tool 7.1 with no success :( and then tryed rootkit 6.3 with no success too :(.

I did everything again, install apx drivers etc but no way. I place my tablet on apx mode, my computer says that nvidia usb boot-recovery driver mobile is ok. So I execute the aplication rotkit 6.3 and on step 4, in order to root, the cmd windows says "loading bootloader to pad... please wait... nvflash started, rcm version 0x4 command sent failed (usb write failed)" and ask me to flash root. If I say yes it reply "Nuflash started (resume mode) connection failed NvError 0x30011 finished". And it ask me again if I want to flash recovery, if I say yes cmd says "Nvflash started (resume mode) connection failed NvError 0x30011 finished please reboot you pad..."

So :confused: it is because I am doing something wrong or it is because my bootloader won't work...

Many many thanks for your support :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sib64:
Ok No problem ;)

So strange, if you follow the procedure exactly.

Have you try to download another time, maybee your download is false.

Is your pad recognizable by your PC in your PC Settings ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chrisgto4:
