hi..

1st thanks to Brk and all devs for make things possible

am new to root and all android stuff

after trying Brk's script i found that my TF have the new bootloader :(

is there any other way that I can have a rooted ROM

like installing CWM then rooted ROM and go back to "stock Recovery"

cause I really want working OTA in my TF, not interested in the Advanced stuff in CWM

if I misunderstood something please explain it to me.

like I said .. I am new to the all android thing

thanks

why the normailboot.img is 8mb, what's the 4mb in the end? if the headers says that there is no second image (0 size)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Hi, the images have litle quality, I cant be sure of what I read, but it seams that your pad has the new bootloader. Does the serial number of your pad start with B7 or B8?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
at the moment there is no way to root pad's with new bootloader.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
search the forum for nvflash and .img files

Hi guys,

I rooted my tf101 with 8.6.5.9 v6.3, but I can't reboot into CWR...if I try to reboot into recovery with rom manager, the pad reboots normally on android...and if I try to boot with power on + volume down, it boots on green android....how to fix this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Your pad has the new bootloader. You cannot root with this method.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] joking:
I'm rooted using the US root kit v6.1 (us8656). Can I run the rootkit US v6.3 and choose option 3 to udate to US 8659 and CWM 3201? Or do I have to unroot then do the FOTA and root again?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
If everything is working, leve it as it is. Don't try to break what is working.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] joking:
Just wanna update to 8.6.5.9 as I currently running 8.6.5.6.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
I misunderstood. You have to intall stock recovery and restore (if any) original system files (if you have change anything involving system files (netflix, addock, 3g dongle))

Then apply FOTA update and use 6.3 script to re-root.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] joking:
Just try to cut the corner but I guess I can't. Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wizard83:
Please help! The script seems to install all ok, with titanium backup I see that TF101 is rooted, but I can't restart in CWR!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Search in market for reboot2recovery and install that app
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] wizard83:
Thanks, but I think I'm really stupid :D

In my android phone, to boot in CWR I need to press power + volume down...here I just see that is necessary power + volume down and after that volume up to enter the CWR...now it works!!! :eek:

I'm really sorry for my noob stupid questions!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] loganno:
please help, I try to update but it stops. Android shows a green icon with the exclamation!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] qicgun:
Hi, I'm quite new here... just wanna ask if this will work on TW pad? Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
At the moment no. It's only for US and WW pads. I'll change the script so it includes TW also.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zlich:
how do i put the damn thing to apx mode. i followed the instructions and still no apx mode.

i do have the latest drivers installed for asus. i downloaded and installed asus sync v1.0.46 which also installed the usb drivers.

while my tf was connected to my pc i turned it off. then pressed and held the volume up btn and pressed power btn. pc gave me searching for driver information for APX. cancelled it and i installed driver from usbpcdriver folder. in device manager i can see "NVIDIA USB BOot-recovery driver for mobile devices" under USB controllers. but my TF did not come up. i tried adb devices and it reports back with no serial number for devices.

anybody having this issue? any idea how to put TF in APX mode?

PC: windows 7 32bit

TF: HC 3.1, Build# US_EPad-8.4.4.22-20110711

Help!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Is expected that your TF stays with screen black/off in APX mode.

Turn it off again, and power it on with volume up key pressed. Then go to windows device manager and search for apx device. If you see one, then you are ok to proceed and root your device.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zlich:
i did that but i dont see any APX devices in my device manager. all i see is "NVDIA USB Boot -recovery driver for mobile devices" under USB Controllers.

did i make any stupid mistake while installing drivers?

screenshot here flic.kr/p/a7ihvu (just put http in front)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jotobean:
This is the same problem I am having. It shows on the screen that I'm successful, but when I try to boot into recovery or do a root check, it fails. I also cannot install superuser apk from the script because it says the device is not present.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] glenner05:
isn't that because maybe you've installed apx drivers previously already? i get the same device in device manager when i power up with volume up. But i'm sure i already installed the driver in the past so i think all is ok. However, when i run the batch command and slect 6 to test adb connection, there is no device listed, so i'm afraid to continue now...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zlich:
same thing here. adb does not see any devices connected.

i just want to root this sucker:D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
ADB does not need APX mode. To use adb commands, you pad must be rooted and running android.

For people having trouble with APX mode, please update your apx driver (uninstall current driver first and then install driver provided in zip file).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bryanz:
How long does it take to root? I though I had my pad rooted, but as busybox said contrary, I am using this method. But I have chosen option one to root and it has passed 5 minutes, an the tablet shows phone update success but the script shows nvflash started and nothing more :(

what should I do????
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kisaten:
Isn't the bootloader partition encrypted? If i backup the original and used it later to restore, will I brick?

(according to: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1129308)

Other that that, for backup purposes, this should be good for any version transformer right? (to keep a copy of the boot and recovery to return to stock after rooting <- even thought I guess you can just extract the blob from the firmware files)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
I am not an nvflash expert, but I think that this backup method is not working with bootloader patition (even if mashi has called is images boot). If you open the script, you can see what it does: it backup partition 6 (called kernel in that post) and partition 5 (recovery). That partitions are safe to flash back.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Are you using v4 update? You have to reboot your pad between processes. If you make a backup first, you have to reboot to APX again in order make root.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
Even if it is encrypted, the bootloader is available in the stock updates and that can be flashed properly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] elpeterson:
I can run the Install Root and/or recovery find on my tab however ADB will not recognize my device to push anything else. I originally tried rooting with the other pure root method and misplaced the boot.img leading me to the Eee Pad screen bootloop. However now I don't get anything. I know that if I can get ADB to recognize my tablet, ill be able to actually fix it. Any suggestions to get this method to work?

TIA
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
For ADB to see your pad is necessary that you install asus drivers in windows and your pad is running android OS (not in APX mode).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ondoy1943:
...and usb debugging is enabled in the tf101. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] elpeterson:
ive installed everything necessary, however i screwed up the first root process i did. i dont think i have a ROM on my pad at all at this point. when i "turn on" the pad i get nothing. however i can APX and my comp recognizes it. then i run the batch script you gave and it will show the Nvflash recovery text and say 'phone update successful' but then i cant push anything else. whatever you are updating with that process, is it possible to push a ROM that way and actually get something onto my device?

also, based on what i've said could someone answer the terrifying question i have; Is this thing actually bricked (forever) or just soft bricked? Is this fixable?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
You got two options:

Install CWM Recovery and then in recovery install one of the ROMs from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112527

OR (try this first)

Go to http://tabletroms.com/forums/showthread.php?1071-Asus-Transformer-NVFlash-Stock-3.1-Recovery-Roms download the stock rom matching your pad version, put the pad in APX mode and flash the stock ROM

This should bring back to life your pad. Good luck.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] elpeterson:
A) you're awesome and have actually given me some confidence.

B) how do i install CMW or the stock ROM? although i softbricked my incredible about a million times, i never had to go through this

After registering i saw the direction, will let you know how it goes. thanks again

What about the DE version?

Hi,

After the latest Asus update I have build number HTJ85B.DE_epad-8.6.5.9-20110816, kernel 2.6.36.3-00003-g9baf8f7.

With the previous firmware version I have tried rooting with the brk rootkit for WW version and it worked.

For the Asus update to complete I had first to unroot the device by using the backup created during rooting.

Before rooting the new version again using the brk rootkit for WW I want just ask if it's a good idea or if there can be side effects. Or is there a chance for getting a special DE rootkit verion soon?

Regards, Gerd
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:

Please Help

Hello, im a noob in this rooting thing.

I have a transformer TF101 with :

- model in s/n B60

- android 3.2

- Build number: htj85.US_epad-8.6.5.9-20110816

Downloaded this rootkit:

US (8.6.5.9) v6.3.1

I installed the apx drivers as shown in the faq and everithing went fine

Then tried to root but i get stucked in step 6 as i can understand ADB is not working, i did all the steps and everything seem fine (im in developer mode too)

What could be the problem

Thank you

are your running steps 5 and 6 with android running in your pad?

Newest OTA update not working!

I can't get the newest update to install, it tries then the green android guy gets an exclamation mark.

I previously had 8.6.5.6 and downloaded your script v 6.1 for US (I'm assuming my pad is US not TW, but how can I double-check? could there be another one for middle east?) rooted fine.

So when the new update failed, I tried to reinstall the stock root & recovery. When I had done that, the update still failed.

SOOOO I noticed that even though I had gone back to stock, superuser was still there, tried to uninstall it from the app list, nope. tried to uninstall it from settings>applications, nope.

Any easy way to remove root? removing root is not my main issue, I just want to install the new update.

I even tried factory reset, nope

please anyone help me out pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Did you chang any other system files? The update cheks certain system files and if they have been modified the update fails to install. You have to go back to stock. Make a full backup of your rom (in CWM) and flash full stock 8.6.5.7 HC3.2 ROM (see here: http://tabletroms.com/forums/transf...stock-3-2-recovery-roms-unbricking-tools.html)

After that the update will install fine and you can reroot with v6.3 of this script.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] omarrabbat:
Thanks BRK!

About changing system files: I use marketenabler (it lets me install free apps not meant for my region but I still can't get paid apps, which i used to get on my SGS, but now not working on either anymore. off topic sorry :P)

since it wasn't working I tried market access, which didn't work as well. do you know if market access makes any changes to the system files you're mentioning? Is there an easy way to set it back to how it was?

Other than market, there were no other apps that might have modified system files I guess. I might have tried a proxy app and a proxy setting page enabler, something like that. (which also didn't help me get full market access)

I will try to flash a full stock rom as soon as I can (if that is the only other solution), thanks again for your help...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GerdS:
No more ADB...

Curious. Just tried to root my DE 8.6.5.9 device but when checking for ADB I could not get a connection. So I flashed back to the original root and recovery, but still no more ADB.

I then looked into the Windows device manager and found an entry "ADB Interface"/"SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface". In contrast, my Galaxcy S shows up with "ADB Interface"/"SAMSUNG Android Composite ADB Interface" and works well with ADB.

So I think there might be a problem with DE 8.6.5.9 as I would expect the Transformer to be listed under "ADB Interface", too.

I tried on two different PCs without success.

Any ideas about? Or how can I go back to DE 8.6.5.7 for checking?

Regards, Gerd

EDIT:

Found the problem. I didn't install the ASUS PC Suite, just the drivers. Found a hint in another post that PC Suite seems to contain something in addition to the driver which is needed for ADB connections. No idea what it is, the device manager entries still look same...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] y2k-inc:
Ok, here is the "deal" with the B70 version, i have tried almost all version of Root and was not able to, event the one from this kit. So what i did, i use this kit to Flast the unsecured-boot.img and the recovery.img (CWM) then i use CWM to flash the ROM "Revolver 2.5 by Gnufabio" and now i have root ... my Asus S/N is B70Kxxxxx.

Hope this help someone want to try to get root differently :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] droidcruzer:
I just got my TF tonight, downloaded the 8.6.5.9 V6.3.1 rootkit, followed the instructions step by step, and it worked perfectly. All you have to do is follow the instructions. I even tested using Titanium lol. Got the message to allow superuser and it worked. Thanks so much for creating this script. It gives me what should have been rightfully mine in the first place. Tons of kudos.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bighulk666:

So you DID root with this script. Flashing the unsecured-boot.img and recovery are what gave you root.

Your pad is WW8659. You have to use(see page 1)

If your pad is WW (8.6.5.9) v6.3

Download Brk.RootKit_WW v6.3

There is no need special linux information. Just read instructions and faq and be carefull.

Good luck.

Be carefull? Is there something that can go seriously wrong than when i make a mistake in the rooting process? :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] adamslast:
In fact if you do everything as explained rooting information, there is no big danger. if it happens something wrong just read warning message and do it or ask in forum what to do. The most important before rooting make a full (root, recovery and data) backup. It may be very important in a bad case.

How to root - Mini-fast-guide

1. Put your pad in APX mode and select option 1 to backup your current boot.img and recovery.img (recommended)

2. Turn your pad off and reboot to APX again

3. With your pad in APX mode, select option 4 to install the unsecure boot.img and recovery (optional)

4. reboot your pad to android OS

5. Go to settings>applications>development and check USB debugging

6. Check is ADB is working with option 7

7. Select option 5 to install superuser binary and superuser.apk

8. Select option 6 to install busybox

9. reboot

10. Done. In android apps you should see an app called superuser. Try a program that needs root (like titanium backup) and check if it asks to get root access

PrintScreen:

Are these the steps that needs to be done cause i have read something else needs to be done first but im a bit confised about that.

Thanks for the advice:confused:
