unroot. factory reset. install unlocker apk and unlock
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ShyTownFantasy:
Tried it many times.

It's Tuesday and I have yet to hear from ASUS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joshw0000:
Are all of you downgrading to use the root .apk or is there no rooting option on .21 period? I found a Windkows tools but it doesn't say you need to be on any specific version.

I've already downloaded the unlock .apk and planned to use it tonight to unlock the bootloader, then root with a Windows script, install CWM (probably TWMR), and well, you know the rest. But do I need to downgrade to root? I've owned a lot of Android devices but never an Asus.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ShyTownFantasy:
Hi Josh,

This thread is about not being able to unlock a Asus Prime. Please start your own thread with your question.

Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joshw0000:
I think my question is semi-relevant. It seems that most people are having problems because they're trying to unlock a rooted Prime. So the conclusion is to unroot, wipe, then unlock. This brings another issue of rooting. If on .21 is there a root method available? I don't know so I asked? Also wondering if one can downgrade (to root) with an unlocked bootloader or if a downgrade can be accomplished with an unlocked bootloader. If I'm piecing things together correctly, the correct steps for the ultimate goal (root/unlock/latest OTA) are:

Return to stock w/ locked bootloader (wipe data if needed)

Unlock bootloader

Root

Install OTA Root Keeper

Preserve Root

Update via OTA

Restore root

(Optional) wipe data/cache

Thanks for making this thread "all about me". I'll kindly wait for someone else to answer my question in your thread which should in turn help several other people having your same issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ShyTownFantasy:
Hi Josh,

Please take the time to read the whole thread before responding. Your response has been stated in this thread a few times already. Also, this thread is about 'not being able to unlock'.

You are asking if you need to downgrade from .21 to root. This is a different question and has been answer many times already in different threads.

Thank you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joshw0000:
I read the entire thread before posting. And no my question has not be answered in this thread. If it has, kindly direct me to the response. From what I've read everyone is downgrading and I'm beginning to believe root is only possible if I downgrade.

And yes, my question is pertinent as I want to root and UNLOCK. And I don't want to f*** up my tablet like you have. If you know the correct method for rooting and unlocking on .21 it would probably help you realize what you did wrong and how to fix your tablet.

Does anyone that's not ShyTownFantasy think my question is out of line or not relevant to this thread???
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joshw0000:
This thread is about "unlock check fail keep booting - .21" if you want to be technical!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ShyTownFantasy:
Hi Josh,

You have proved my point again that you do not read. I stated that your question has been answered in many 'DIFFERENT' threads. This thread is for people who has tried to unlock their tablet and was unsuccessful.

Your questions are you want to root and unlock your tablet, again it is a different question which has been answer many times in different threads.

Also, my tablet works perfectly fine. I do not have any issue using it. I am very happy with my tablet. What I want to do does not affect my daily use of my tablet.

Thank you, please do take your time to research other threads and stop wasting your precious time on this thread that is about not being able to unlock your prime using the Asus Unlock tool.

Thank you.

Again, I HAVE READ. I hope you hard brick!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hillbilly Greg:
Give this a try...this worked for me Sunday afternoon after I had pulled my hair out in large chunks over Friday and Saturday.

If you don't get the three icons when booting into bootloader you are not unlocked...those three being "Wipe Data", "USB", and "Android". Using the modded ViperMod tool (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1626190&page=6

Unroot the Prime (Option #5)

If you have already downgraded to .15 great. If you have not do so now. (Option #1)

After the downgrade has completed, on your Prime go to "Settings" then go to "Backup & Reset" then a "Factory Data Reset". (Warning: All data will be erased).

After the reset has completed, go back through the ViperMod tool...first root (Option #2), then install unlock tool and flash CWM (Option #6) If you have done it correctly the Asus Unlock Tool will show up in your app drawer. Then install CWM.

You should now be ready to flash your custom ROM.

Hope this helps.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benny32fb:
This seems to work for me but I want to make sure I actually have this thing unlocked correctly. I followed these steps and ran the unlocker and it seemed to run without error but I see no visual indicator anywhere that it was actually unlocked and I am nervous to actually try and flash something without making sure that it's unlocked. The unlocker app is the app list btw but there's not other indicator that it's unlocked. I called Asus and they basically told me they don't support the unlocker utility and they didn't know how to verify it. Hopefully someone here has a better answer than that!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joshw0000:
You're tablet should say something like "this device is unlocked" in the top left hand corner every time you reboot. App worked for me. Fastbooted TWRP recovery and was able to flash a rom.

Are you rooted? Do you see this in the top left hand corner?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benny32fb:
I am rooted on .15 right now but I don't see any kind of "unlocked" indicator on reboot in the upper left corner like you describe. When I try to rerun the unlocker tool I get an unknown error and it says it may be due to network connection issue and try again later even though I have perfect network access.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joshw0000:
I unlocked on .21 from bone stock. Did your tablet request your gmail and communicate with Asus while the app was running? Although you're showing perfect signal, it may really be a connection issue. Have you tried connecting to a different wifi?

If you power down, power on with vol down plus power, then press down, scroll down to fastboot (I believe second option), press up, do you get 3 options?

What you may want to try is first preserve your root with OTA Rootkeeper. Update to .21, run the unlock tool again (hopefully it'll work), restore root with OTA Rootkeeper. Then flash custom recovery with with Rom or Goo Manager once you've confirmed unlock.

I don't want to give you faulty information that could damage your tablet but you could also try installing a custom recovery now. If you're not unlocked, the installation should fail. If you are unlocked, Goo or Rom Manager should be able to install. Then boot to recovery manually (not with an app) by powering off, vol down + power, power up. Should go to custom recovery. If the flash failed you should get an Android guy for about 15 seconds followed by the tablet rebooting itself normally.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benny32fb:
I have root and goomanager/twrp already installed on there. I am leary of just trying to load up cm9 because the last time I tried it with cwm recovery it failed and it hard bricked me so I want to be pretty sure that's not going to happen again. The lack of that unlock status has me nervous for sure.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joshw0000:
I honestly don't know why you're not getting the unlock message on boot. If you have a custom recovery installed you are unlocked. That would explain the reason you can't re-lock the device.

Please explain this hard brick? How did it occur and if you recovered from it, than it's technically a soft brick.

Some roms require special installation steps. I flashed Gummy which installed the same as any other rom (wipe, flash, reboot, enjoy).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benny32fb:
I hard bricked, this is a new tablet. I tried installing cm9 from cwm recovery via a zip file and after completion it rebooted but was stuck on the eee pad boot screen for and hour or so and after multiple attempts I mistakenly tried to reload a stock rom, which apparently is the wrong thing to do in that case because I then got a bootloader error which according to another thread was unrecoverable. So now we're on tablet two.

Edit - I grew a set and just pulled the trigger and the newest nightly for CM9 went on like a champ via goomanager (donated because of this!). Thanks for taking the time to reply Josh! I appreciate the help and will answer questions about this process if others get stuck here too.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] paddycr:
I don't get that text on the splash screen either but I am definitely unlocked. If you are unlocked there will be a file in /sdcard called something like unlocktime.txt - this tells you the time that the Unlock Tool successfully unlocked your Prime.

If you have successfully installed TWRP you are unlocked - it is not possible to install this on a locked unit. I would suspect that your CM9 problems were because of a bad download - did you check the MD5 of the zip? Were you able to recover your Prime after trying CM9?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joshw0000:
Glad you got it installed.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] erimin:
Hi Josh

I own a tf201 with .21 rooted

I try to unlock using asus unlocking tool and i get unlock failed

To get root on my unrooted stock with .21 i did the following:

1. Downgrade from .21 to .15 (no root needed)

2. Apply Root using Viper tool

3. Install Voodoo Root keeper

4. Upgrade to .21 using OTA

5. Restore root using Voodoo Root keeper

I am now on .21 stock but rooted

I decide to unlock my tf201 using asus unlocking tool.. so i could flash twrp & AOKP Rom.

I downloaded from asus, install it, open it and...

I get the message unlock failed (i tried 3 times!!!)

As i read the whole thread (good work btw) i realize that root makes the whole problem (am I correct !?)

few questions:

1. I thought to un-root using ViperMod Primetool 4.6 (option 4) and then try to unlock... but Viper tool... does it works on .21 !?

2. If I do not use Viper tool and do a factory reset... root go away or not !?

3. If question (2) is correct and then i would be able to unlock my bootloader (using Asus unlocking tool) the only way to flash a recovery is cwm (via rom manager?) or there is the possibility to flash twrp (via goo manager?... i think goo manager needs root!?!?) My finally purpose is to get AOKP!

I am a little confused... Please help me to avoid to brick my tf201.

Thanks in advance :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] erimin:
1. I reset-wipe-factory reset my tf201... done !

2. Un-root using Viper tool... done !

3. download, install & run asus unlocking tool... Done + worked !!!

4. download, install & open rom manager (says needs root !?!?)

5. flash cwm... tried... but says... cannot send the command... flash failed :(

thank god device still boots up

Now I am on .21 unlocked i don;t know i am also unrooted :(

Please help !!!

P.S. downloaded goomanager... flash script... seems to finished successfully but... the device doesn't boot into recovery ... either via goo manager... either via power+vol down & up...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] omac_ranger:
Rom Manager needs root to flash the recovery... You're going to need to use the fastboot commands and manually push the recovery to your device. From there you can flash away to your hearts desire.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joshw0000:
Erimin,

I have trade my Prime for an Ipad 3 (I bore with devices quickly) but I'll give you a little info on what I did to get root. NOTE: at this point, I was not able to root the device on stock firmware. I had to flash a custom rom to have root. But to do that you need a custom recovery. Without having root, your only option is to flash it in fastboot. So here goes:

Download and install these drivers - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1514942

You need adb set up with some knowledge of using it. You'll also need fastboot.exe - download and extract adb-fastboot file here - http://www.androidauthority.com/transformer-prime-install-touch-clockworkmod-recovery-75663/

Also grab the CWM recovery file (or TWRP here - http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/93), rename it as advised and place it in the extracted folder with fastboot.exe. Go ahead and download a rom and save to your tablet so you can flash it after you've installed the recovery.

Go to the folder now holding adb.exe, fastboot.exe, and you CWM file. Hokd shift and right click a blank space. Choose "Open command window here"

Now reboot the tablet to fastboot (vol down plus power, choose usb icon by going down, select by going up). Enter the fastboot command given on the CWM site or TWRP. Reboot recovery, backup stock rom, flash custom rom, enjoy!

[General Questions and Answers] ehrichweiss:
I initially bricked my phone when I took an OTA update by accident while the phone was rooted. When I got the new phone I decided to let it update first and then try to root it but now the Gingerbreak/ZergRush method doesn't seem to work. It never reports that it failed but doesn't say success either, just the "Blue Hellions" thing. The script fails at the "adb remount" saying that the operation isn't permitted.

I've tried a few other methods but have had zero luck with them but most of them used ZR so I didn't expect a lot.

Since they don't seem to have a recovery image for this phone, there's not a lot I can do.

I'll take any ideas and upload logcat, etc.to help out (if I can...it seems to be about 100k which was double the allowed size for the last forum I asked this on)

Any and all help appreciated.

Kyocera Milano Root?

My wife has same phone and I also have tried many diff ways to root this phone with no luck. If someone out there has a suggestion...plz offer... tired of sleeping on couch while Milano is acting up.:crying:
[General Questions and Answers] Zelious:
Root Milano patched 2.3.4 Gingerbread

I just got my phone from Ting a couple weeks ago and rooted it yesterday.

Unfortunately I can't directly post Outside links (Not at 10 posts yet, and have no idea what else to post about other than this at the moment, which requires a link (For Credit Due Purposes) and I know it will be helpful to people that were as desperate as me for something that was starting to seem rather impossible and no one was paying that much attention to it.), but this is important enough that I'll try to just chop it up - You'll just have to put it back together to go to that site.

This works:

androidforums

.com/milano-all-things

-root/709963-no

-pc-root-method

.html

Not sure why the guide says "Enable usb debugging in Settings, Applications, Development" since you never use the PC, I enabled it anyway, and also enabled to install third party apps, or else Poot won't install, not sure why that isn't on the guide. (Maybe they got mixed up?)

A few things you might want to know:

After hours I finally found the solution. But the terminal still doesn't work for uninstalling ("pm uninstall com.google.android.books.apk" = Failure), you have to do everything though your phone (I'm using the app "RootAppDelete"). The phone roots itself with a third party app called "Poot" using libraries from "Ministro 2"

Before doing this you're gonna need something like 25MBs of storage or so (Can delete everything afterwards with the exception of SuperUser (Can't delete that) to get the space back (Also, you need a app to actually use root actions). - The "Ministro 2" packages are huge for this phone's tiny internal storage! 11MB around)

Make sure to install anything small first and anything big right before the phone gets over 15MB full, because at that time you can't install anything else, with low memory errors.

Another thing that might have helped me when I did this is - back when I couldn't root I made all apps default install to the phone with the android sdk platform-tools (I didn't want to risk anything so I moved Poot, Ministro 2 and SuperUser back to the phone before running Poot. since they default installed to the SD)

"adb shell"

"pm SetInstallLocation 2"

Know its been said elsewhere, but this works with the Milano. Wanted to say that in case you needed the space to use Poot.

And the last problem is after I did all this, now my headphone jack wants to think it has headphones plugged in all the time, If I move the phone around it starts playing on the phone's speaker. It seems like something is lose. Not sure if that was caused by the root (since it wasn't doing it before, and I've never used the headphone jack before) or because there was lose hardware, not sure. Still working on a solution to that, which I found

something similar here, almost looks like a common problem: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=817872

I would put my proof of doing this have a screen shot of root checker, but alas its an outside link. Understand though.

And as I've read a million times before this, here's a disclaimer: I'm not responsible and use at your own risk.

Hey All,

I have put DoomKernal on my X10 *Non OC version*.

With Donut Rom. The problem im having is when I install the Wifi Module Using xRecovery.

The ROM becomes unusable and constantly locks up.

Is there something im missing should I install the Wifi with CWM ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1eyedmonster:
No flashing with cwm crashes the Rom you have to use xrecovery with stock based roms
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n@twork:
For installing DoomKernel, flash .ftf file then start your phone.

You have to wait a few time before installing wifi patch.

Put the .zip patch file in your SDcard and shut down your phone.

Start it again to go in xRecovery.

Choose "install custom zip" and select the patch file.

Few seconds later, it'll be done, you'll have to reboot your phone and all will be ok with wifi, and your rom will be stable.

I just flashed back to CM7 from MIUI until they get some of the bugs fixed. But I loved almost everything about MIUI, the browser included. I love the full screen capability, the browser rotation lock, and it just seemed fast and smoother.

Is there any way to use the MIUI browser on CM7? I tried replacing the stock "Browser.apk", but it wouldnt let me. I also tried installing the MIUI browser.apk and it just comes up and says "Not Installed".

I'm wondering if its even possible since the MIUI framework is different than CM7.

Any thoughts?
[Motorola Droid X2] S3AL3DF4T3:
In order to get it work you would need the browser framework files from MIUI.Im not sure if their compatible with CM7 thought because i think MIUI has some 4.0 framework in it.
[Motorola Droid X2] S3AL3DF4T3:
I'll give it a shot.
[Motorola Droid X2] 12vnstallr:
Thanks Sealed Fate.

I do believe MIUI is on 4.0 framework.
[Motorola Droid X2] S3AL3DF4T3:
I beleive the only way to do it would to MIUI push the framework to system. Im not sure what exactly the result of doing that would be tho..could create some problems if not bootloop you. I tried playing around with the apk file and the libwebcore.so as well as some other libs and it was a no go. You should given Miren browser a shot its very similar.

[Motorola Droid X2] whombeartoe:
Anybody ever port this?
[Motorola Droid X2] S3AL3DF4T3:
Nope it hasn't been ported. The closest thing to this browser that will work with CM7 is Miren browser. I was thinking about trying to get it to work on CM7 but after taking with a couple people I decided not to. Simply because it requires replacing so much CM7 framework it defeats the purpose of getting it working. I mean sure you would have the MIUI browser working but in doing that would create so many other problems. CM7 uses 2.37 framework and the framework used for the MIUI browser is 4.0. I think there would be better hope getting this browser on DZK's CM9.
