I wish the n00bs would understand that most devs and power users would much rather have that thanks button clicked rather than another pointless post. Think about it. The Dev makes a rom and creates a thread. He's notified everytime someone posts in his thread. (if they have this option set which most do) You post "Awesome Rom". The dev gets notified and thinking a bug has been reported he stops what hes doing and checks his thread only to find that post. After a few of those he turns off notifications or just ignores them for awhile. Now you report an actual very important bug and its ignored for 6 hours. This is why the thanks button is there.

Razorclaw is a new tool (on-device!) for rooting any version ASUS Transformer.

Update 25-12-2011: Only use the below versions! The latest OTA has the vulnerability fixed! Sorry for the late update on this.

Currently known supported versions:

ASUS Transformer TF101 (8.6.5.19)

ASUS Transformer 3G TF101G (8.6.6.19)

ASUS Slider SL101 (8.6.5.18)

Update nov 16: Works with Slider as well! Also, Google suspended the app from market, so get it from the site!

Simply install, click Root, and you're good to go! :)

More info and download links at http://androidroot.mobi/2011/11/14/introducing-razorclaw-v1/

Note: Any donations people decide to give for this should go to the donate link on http://androidroot.mobi/donations/ and NOT directly to me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rebound821:
Good work!

It works even for the b70/80 tf101G?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rayman:
It might.

Does TF101G have the update with the App Backup yet? :)

We lacked a TF101G and Slider device to test on, so it's a maybe. In all likelihood it will work with those devices as well :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
It might.

This place gonna blow up.:)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sblindheim:
How does it work? Will it enable clockworkmod recovery?

I've truly waited for this! Thank you all!

-sblindheim
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] brumle80:
This mean I can use root apps since I have already tried that, but not install custom Roms right?

Any way it's a giant leap forward & a giant thank you for the effort!!!

Gonna donate later tonight after having played abit with this :-D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gnufabio:
You are the man!

People with this root will be able to flash custom roms!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rayman:
It will let you use custom ROM's soon enough.

Root ahead and wait a few days and it'll be there :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Reeonimus:

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fuzzbeans:
Thank you! I've been waiting since purchase for this.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] :
Worked fine on my TF101 B80, US version, latest OTA update.

Firmware version HTK75.US_epad-8.6.5.19-20111107, s/n B80KAS11xxxx.

Thank you guys.

Upon finding this thread my heart sank before reading the first post, as I had updated to the latest OTA literally minutes before. For a second I thought "they finally found some method to root the B80 and Asus released an emergency update to block it - which I have just installed". Luckily, it was the other way around.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frdurso:
I really can't understand why this resistance in allow the users root their devices...and it's not only from asus, most of them create barriers to prevent rooting... Why they do that? Anyone?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] skeeterpro:
Nice work, fellas!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] knoxploration:
Anybody want to take bets whether if you phoned in and spoke to a different support rep, you'd get a different answer?

I highly doubt they've pulled any update, given that in past updates that had exploits, they never pulled them -- they just fixed them in a later release of firmware. That, and the fact you're saying they pulled an update which as far as I can see, people earlier in the thread never received in the first place (German update for TF101G).

My guess is that the firmware update for the German TF101G just hasn't been released yet, likely because more people need to sign off on it than the WW update. Bet this turns out to be a storm in a teacup, and the German TF101G update shows up just like the others in a matter of days...

---------- Post added at 08:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 PM ----------

Because when people flash bad firmware and brick their devices, they're not honest. They don't admit it was their own mistake, throw the tablet in the trash, and buy another. They try and get them repaired under warranty, or take it back to the store and swap it out for a brand new tablet.

That raises support costs for the manufacturer, which makes the products more expensive. Hence, the manufacturers do their best to prevent the casual user trying to root or flash custom firmware in the first place.

What I'd like to see them do is offer users the chance to register for the ability to root their tablet. Give the serial number and they give you a firmware specific to that serial number which gives you root access -- but if that serial number is returned to a store then you're charged for the full cost of the tablet, and if it gets bricked and returned for warranty repair, you pay the full repair cost.

Sadly, it'd be near-impossible to administer something like this, and so the folks who return products knowing that they broke them ruin it for the rest of us.

Here is the Official update:

TF101G (WW)

http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF101G/UpdateLauncher_WW_epaduser8_6_6_19.zip

and the root is workin'

thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] knox420:
Unfortunately it isn't working for me. I am on DE 8.6.5.19 and -after reading to the entire thread- now guess that DE is the problem.

Razorclaw says

However, the device is not rooted after 2 subsequent OTA updates. These are 8.6.5.19 and it's direct predecessor probably(8.6.5.18). But it used to be rooted before. There are probably some SU leftovers there. Moreover, I cannot uninstall SuperUser anymore.

So is the failure in (re)-rooting the device because of the stupid DE version or because of the prior root along with OTA update(s)?

Thanks a ton
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sk_koh:
HI,

I m new on rooting tf Have some question need for help. I hv read this thread but still not understand.:confused::confused:

q: If i rooted using Razorclaw tools. I just going to uninstall the default app and

modify some tweak for my imbalance speaker. I wll not going to install custom rom,

in this way if i do a factory reset can i go back to stock unrooted state?

tks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] matzedin:
is there any manuel way not via ota to flash this update?

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] TheSgrash:
i have last ota WW update... my pad was previosly rooted with brk's tool...

now i have su (updated in razorclaw app) and Superuser.apk but no app is able to gain root rights successfully..

Superuser.apk is in /system/app and so i can't remove it...

how can i solve now?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] daoist:
Try this:

Go to the github repo for razorclaw (check first post), and download assets/razorclaw.

c:\> adb push razorclaw /data/local
c:\> adb shell
$ chmod 755 /data/local/razorclaw
$ /data/local/razorclaw
(razorclaw output here)
# mount -o rw,remount /system
# rm /system/xbin/su
# rm /system/bin/su
# exit
$ /data/local/razorclaw --install

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

The factory reset on your tablet will not restore the files you remove or change. You'll have to reflash a stock rom. It really isn't that hard, though.

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 PM ----------

Try what I did above, but delete /system/app/SuperUser.apk in addition.

Hi csn someone help me. Im about to get a tf but learning how to root and cwm installed before i buy.. so do i root my tf first before i install cwm and a custom rom?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fuzzbeans:
First you root, then you install cwm. Put rom zip on sd card. Boot to recovery,manual wipe then you flash. The issue is whether you can root or not. You will need a specific update if you do not get a tf101 with an older serial number. B60 is ok, B70 and B80 onward probably need the update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] htcmagician:
As far as I understand it isn't possible to install the ww update, without installing the ww rom first, which is also not possible without root/cwm.

I'm also still waiting for the DE TF101G Update....

if you are afraid of ota update install this app

Android is open source but Google pull a rooting app from the market...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] knoxploration:
That's the nice thing with Android. You have your choice of markets. Hell, install from outside the market, if you want. It doesn't *matter* if Google pulls an app, they can run their market however they want and the customer can choose to go elsewhere if they don't like it.

With Apple, if you don't like how they run the App Store, tough luck. You either live with it, or you just bought an expensive brick.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sert00:
i do this if i have only the root,right?and if i have a custom rom with custom cwm,how to return on stock rom?

if i download asus fw from asus site,is right do this?

Yes, just put the blob file of the firmware you want to flash in the /sdcard folder and with adb:

Code:

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/blobfilename of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

the thing that i cannot know,is if the method quoted works i have only rooted,or also if i have rooted,installed cwm and flashed a custom rom..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] matzedin:
oki i have testet anything...

manuel update works of the update zip file was unzipped to a blank sd card...extract to root of the sdcard..but we have only the 8.6.6.19 WW file..not the DE File...in the zip there is abig file..blob..this is the firmwareupdate...then there is a folder, META-INF with the file cert.RSA , cert.SF and manifest.MF and the folder com/google/android with in the files : rule, update-binary and updater script..

now anybody must create a custom update zip with the right SHA1-Digest etc...

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rayman:
Open adb shell and perform the following commands:

/system/xbin/su

mount -o remount,rw /system

rm /system/bin/su

It appears that you have somehow gotten a wrong su binary installed in /system/bin/su.

Razorclaw installs in /system/xbin/su so it must have come from somewhere else.

To make it clear: you are fully rooted. Just perform above to fix :)
