Tested on Windows 10 and it roots fine but it breaks the recovery.

The only way to continue flashing any ROM is this... but only with Windows 7, 8 or 8.1!

If TWRP doesn't update to 2.8 you must flash the original rom (Cyanogenmod could be tricking some partitions) on ASUS website, then repeat the flash recovery with this tool, then upgrading again from 2.2 to 2.6 and finally 2.8!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ValenteL:
Thank You

But the customers can install a BLOB or is only a developers tool? Who provide this zipfiles and when ? I installed and updated various ROM's and flashed somethings I hadn't hear on that til now.

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Spidey01:
I guess so
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
Just pre-root the update or wait for a Blue Peter version to appear. They don't take long to turn up.

It doesn' work on my TF101G

B80 series

8.6.6.x :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Invisman:
Thanks for all the work guys.

I have a B70KAS4xxx TF101. I got the new OTA from Asus which has the App Backup too (never used it). But still when I run RazorClaw, I get the "device lacks a file" message.

Any idea why?

EDIT:

I just got another OTA from Asus. I guess that is the one you need to get this worked. Will update soon.

EDIT:

Rooted!!! Thanks a ton, guys

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] lilstevie:
Ok, just to clear it up you need to have 8.6.5.19 because even though 8.6.5.18 has asus-backup it does not have suid and thus does not work

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ddv2005:
You mean kernel blob or some another blob? Can I flash custom ROM that override kernel blob?

Best Regards,

Dmitry
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fuzzbeans:
I think what he means is do not flash a zip that has both a kernel and a system image. If you do and the process fails your device is bricked as there is nothing to recover from.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bradputt:
thats' only for the rooting right? use the one from gnufabio and you'll be safe.

after that it's all right to flash any blob.

at least that's my understanding
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] will8578:
Team root transformers, you are all gods, thank you for making christmas come early, amazing!!!!!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fuzzbeans:
I don't actually know, I will wait for clarification on this. I don't know if it's ever a good idea to flash kernel and rom simultaneously.

good job guys !
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] djmulder:
Hmmm ok so what does this mean in terms of custom firmwares/linux etc for ppl who didn't have the luxury of having the "easy" serial? (b70 here) Are there guides available? or is it basically the same, just root it first?

I'd love to get my hands on one of the Prime firmwares with ubuntu in the background :)

It doesn't look like it works on those, doesn't have the AppBackup feature.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Svenvdmeer:
Thank you guys! I've been waiting for this! I'm at work right now but it will probably be the first thing I'll do when I get home.

I'm kinda interested in knowing how this will influence future OTA updates. Does anybody have any thoughts or info about if we will be able to install future OTA and if we do, do we still have root? And will there be a way to completely revert to stock ROM with stock recovery. I don't want to sound ungrateful but I'm just curious how that will work out.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kdevid:
So is anyway to downgrade?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Svenvdmeer:
I'm no expert but it sounds more like you have to wait for an update with the app backup feature. Otherwise I doubt that it is possible to flash the TF101 software on a TF101G.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brk:
Nice, very good news! Congratulations to all devs involved.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fuzzbeans:
They will cook roms soon after release Im sure. But you probably wont recieve OTA notificatons if you are rooted.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Lusaco:
The first I have to say is THANKS :) We all with B70+ series were waiting for this moment :) But with hope ICS will come on our TFs, the question of possibility of future upgrade is very importatnt :) So is this method of rooting reversible or isn't it even better to root it now and be prepared to flash future ICS ROMs? May be its stupid question, but I had to ask :) Thanks again !!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Huntervn:
on B90 - tft101g it said : this device lacks the needed file ( bad luck)

so it means waiting for new way ?

Don't we still have nvflash mode to restore a bad kernel/system?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] daoist:
If we don't have the new SBK, I'm thinking it won't be an option, right?

I'm pretty fuzzy on the whole nvflash thing. Could we flash an SBKv1 bootloader with root? Or is that still locked-out?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Lizard:
It's not a bootloader. The SBK is hardcoded in the chip.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jerdog:
The FIRST rule of XDA is.....
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] knoxploration:
Thanks! Where does that stock firmware come from? Do I get one of the downloads from Asus' own website, or would I need something else? (I presume there's no way to backup my own firmware until after I've rooted, at which point it is no longer stock, although maybe I'm misunderstanding.)

I did. (Well, I didn't search, I read the entire thread. Nowhere did I see my question answered, specific to this release.) As I said, I'm a newb. I have no idea if what applies on other rooting methods also applies to this one. I'd rather not guess on matters that could lead to me losing my warranty and/or bricking my tablet.

There really ought to be a rule about not posting "search before posting", unless you can provide a citation of a search that would've answered the question asked.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jerdog:
Guys - don't hijack someone's thread by talking about your own developed work and THEN continuing to hijack it by offering support for your work in their thread.

I have removed all of gnufabio and his posse's posts about RecoveryInstaller to a new thread - please redirect all discussion about that app here
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jerdog:
As moderator of this forum - my statement is completely valid. There are plenty of discussions on this forum detailing how to unroot. A simple search for unroot returns a lot of them.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] knoxploration:
...and how am I to know whether they are applicable to this new release, which uses a new method for rooting devices that--to date, anyway--no other release has been able to root?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rayman:
Once rooted, it's no different.

All the root does is install su and Superuser.apk.

Regular methods apply.

Hi,

1. Try running the razorclaw binary directly (see the github repo: assets/razorclaw).

$ adb push razorclaw /data/local

$ adb shell

$ chmod 755 /data/local/razorclaw

$ /data/local/razorclaw --install

(NB: Omitting --install will just give you a [temp]root shell)

2. Provide a logcat (adb logcat) surrounding the time the application "crashes" / "dies".

My TF101G just received the OTA update to HTK75.TW_epad-8.6.6.19-20111101 build. Model# is B90KAS108xxx

Confirmed the the Backup App was installed and verified working.

Razorclaw confirmed that root was a possibility, so I pressed the button. App just closed without a whimper.

Installed Busybox, Superuser, and terminal from the Market.

Busybox complains the "su binary was not found" and SU in terminal returns "permission denied".

Guess Razorclaw failed to root the TF101G..... or I missed a step :confused: so sad...

Any hope for a workable root on this tab ?

It depends on what firmware version you've got.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kmdm:
Well, you're now rooted. But if you're happy to continue testing I could do with providing you another test binary (the one I gave you appears to have an erroneous unintended change that's breaking it.)

If you wouldn't mind trying:-

https://github.com/downloads/AndroidRoot/Razorclaw/razorclaw-fixed.zip

...NOT as root I would be grateful...

$ adb push razorclaw /data/local

$ chmod 755 /data/local/razorclaw

$ /data/local/razorclaw --install

---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------

No, it does not do what I described. What I described was a precise and isolated test-case with relevant output to help diagnose a problem with razorclaw.

What "your" tool does is more than that possibly squashing the output[1] that I would need to diagnose the problem.

I don't begrudge your desire to share the tool and you are obviously more than welcome to start a new thread to do so but please don't clutter this one with what is in a context an irrelevant third party tool that just happens to include our native binary (which is not all Razorclaw is).

Thanks,

For users interested, and if you are not yet on 8.6.19, you can find those links for download it. Actually, it's only for WW version and TF101 not for TF101G or Slider.

I know that here isn't the place for this question, sorry about that, but I need confirmation on this:

To manually update with the file you provided, I just have to

1- Put the .zip file in a SD card (only 7Mb? is ti correct?)

2 - Powerdown and powerup holding volume down key

3 - in five seconds press volume up key

4 - Pray :)

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] daoist:
Unless you do something special to prevent it, you will still receive OTA notifications.

I recommend not installing them.

Best case, it won't install at all.

Worst case, it will install --and you'll lose root.

Best thing you can do when you receive the OTA notification is to do:

c:\> adb shell
$ su
# cp /cache/dlpkgfile /sdcard/
# exit
$ exit
c:\> adb pull /sdcard/dlpkgfile .

And then upload the dlpkgfile to mediafire (or wherever) and post a link on xda.

That way someone can pre-root it and get it to work with cwm, and then you can install it.
