Help on what to do

Hello everyone; so yesterday I read the whole thread and sounds promising, and what a great work indeed! :cool:

Now to my debate:

My device:

Model: TF101

Serial: B8OK

Currently I'm running:

Android Version: 3.2.1

Build: 8.6.5.21 -> and I have the nagging screen of the update standing right beside my clock; don't know what update thought. I have it there for like five months or so, just ignoring it :p

SKU: WW

Full Build Number If Needed: HTK75.WW_epad-8.6.5.21-20111216

SBK?:confused: don't know -> just put this here to let you now that I don't know it :cool:

So the thing is I want to root and want to try the latest official version as of this post (9.2.1.27); so in everyone's opinion what would be the best steps to accomplish this?

I think the options would be; and if not please please enlightened me :D

root with "1-Click Transformer Root" then update via OTA and wait and see if the next update I have there is 9.2.1.27 probably not, but who knows! :cowboy:.

Update via OTA (and wait for the same in option A) then root with "1-Click Transformer Root"

Crazy option, but may applied!

root with "1-Click Transformer Root", then install CWM, then download from ASUS 9.2.1.27, then install trough CWM that build. And to keep the OTA functioning return to Stock Recovery and wait for Oficial Jelly Bean sitting in my woden chair. Seams Like a lot of work, this is why I call it crazy, but I know some might prefer this way or not :p :D

So please any help thanks in advanced!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Do this option mate, the tool won't work on GB anyway. You'll get the OTA update to 9.2.1.27. Allow that to complete and then use this tool to get root and install CWM.

After that best to stay on CWM all the time and then not let the OTA to JB succeed as the root process for JB is not yet fully automated as far as I can tell.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Hi,

You found a bug in the tool. I think after upgrading to SuperSU, the unroot functionality needed some changing.

I have uploaded a new version of the tool that solves the problem.

Thanks for your feedback.

Cheers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bryan241:
I cannot download the tool, because the file is set to private. I also want to unroot my tablet, but it keeps rooting my tablet (TF101).

Thanks,

Bryan
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Gimme a min. Some more changes were required.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pyraxiate:
Awesome thanks! Just tried to download as well. Just picking up one of these tablets and cant wait to get it rooted + CWM so i can start playing!!

Great job and this looks like an awesome tool!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Ok, latest bugfix uploaded. Please feel free to download.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cdurex:
Thanks!

Ok thank you very much, thought as far as I know, 3.2.1 is HC right? ;)

Going to try this now and let you know the results of my progress :fingers-crossed:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Izzyb914:
Thanks this Worked Perfect with My TF300T Received Root in about 8 Minutes from Download to Unzip & Run. Great Post.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stevtec86:
Hi guys, I have the Asus Transformer TF300T with root permissions, and I used this tool to get them, now I want to take them off but I can not ... how do I?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Hi, you can do the following:

Download the latest version of the tool, it was updated yesterday with the latest unroot code.

Run the tool. If it doesn't detect root on first run, it will re-root the tablet. No harm. Let it continue.

Then run it again and it'll detect root and give you a menu option to unroot. Select that and it'll remove all traces of root installed by itself.

Cheers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Silenieux:
root was succesful i've tried a few times using both tools, but super user can't get system permissions so it's denied access and everything else is as well

Model: Tf101

android:4.0.3

build: IML74k.us_epad-9.2.1.27-20120615

kernel: 2.639.4

i've rooted phones and the like, the tablet isn't -to- much differant, so i'm wondering if i'm doing something wrong i've tried with cwm as well and super user can't gain permissions even now, i now it's operator error hehe

edit: i've gotten it all working it was an issue with internal memory. rock on!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] catchjeff:
I hope this works. I have tried every method I can search and cannot root my tablet. If this works i will be very thankful.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cdurex:
Thanks! Again!

Great I did it, updated to latest version; regular OTA's went from:

8.6.5.21 to 9.2.1.21

9.2.1.21 to 9.2.1.24

9.2.1.24 to 9.2.1.27

Then run "1-Click Transformer Root" tool, wait for three automatic reboots and BAM!! I'm rooted now :good:;

As a side note, the tools output was very messy, so got no clue what just happened to my tf101, just press a key to start, then the three reboots happen and finally press a key to exit; so it actually was automatic rooted without me selecting any number or any option. <-This is alright normal behavior.

So I don't know if that was alright or just a bug in the latest tool (the 1.1 was the one I use). <- This is alright its normal behavior, again. No bug sorry :P

Here is a part of the captured output attached.

P.S: I set this @echo on just in case before running the tool. <-These was reason for the messy output :P

So thanks again for this useful tool Works great as intended... No problem whatsoever.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] catchjeff:
OMFG thank you so much. After trying like 3 or 4 other methods to root this is the only one to work.

Thank you

I got one little issue I was hoping someone here can help with. When I go to boot into recovery I get the android on his back logo.

What's up with that? I thought this root put cwm on here?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cdurex:
You should re-run the tool. And then just pick the number that has the option to install CWM. :good:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Wolf Hamburg:
hello idcrisis

yesterday i have rooted my tf300tg (ww_epad_9.4.4.40) with the 'one click transformer root 1.1'

my system works fine and i have root now. but when i run the batch-file again i have only the 3 options

1- Unroot!

2- Reboot into current recovery.

3- Quit

i know that is normal, but when i will boot with option 2 in stock-recovery, after a while the android lays down on the back :crying:

it seems the script has broken my recovery...

i dont need cwm, but i want back my stock-recovery (i think i need it for ota-updates??)

any idea how i can get my recovery back? my bootloader is locked...

best regards from hamburg, germany (sorry for my bad english)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cdurex:
As far as I know and recall and read, in some post pages back, I understand that this is stock recovery behavior and you may have stock recovery mate. And Please anyone Correct me if am wrong ;)

And as stated in the first post:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Wolf Hamburg:
I understand it so that I dont install any recovery with the 300tg and this tool, but i should be able to boot from the menu into the stock recovery.

Also with power/volume down and then volume up, it tries to boot in stock recovery but after a little while the android lay down with a warning triangle on it :(

Not working

Hi,

Excited to get this going but not working for me

TF101

4.0.3

2.6.39.4

IML74K.US_epad-9.2.1.27-20120615

Running 32-bit Windows 7 ultimate (also tried my gf's laptop which is Windows 7 premium 64-bit)

downloaded and extracted both root tools to a non "C" drive partition on the computer

ran the .bat file

saw the prompts as described and hit spacebar

got the message about it possibly taking 5 minutes if I didn't have drivers

notification popped up asking me if x86 file could be given permission to make changes

said yes

then waited for 5 minutes but nothing happened (also tried to run the driver .exe files but got a message saying that it couldn't be run on my current os)

Any help much appreciated! Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wallie43:
hi, how did you fixed that?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Hi,

The tool does not modify your recovery. You're still in stock Asus recovery ( as shown when you reboot into current recovery). The Android icon is ok. The stock Asus recovery doesn't give you a menu or anything of that sort. It's just used for OTAs or full stock ROM installations.

Only TF101/201/SL101 get the CWM installation option and version 1.1 of the tool uses a new method for root which does not touch the recovery (version 1.0 installs CWM and uninstalls it still leaving your current recovery intact).

So you're protected from multiple fronts :) You're ok. Your recovery is still the stock and you shall get OTA without issues.

That is one of the main features of this tool.

Cheers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Do you have USB debugging enabled on the tablet? If so, you can try and unplug the tablet and plug it back into the same or different port when it is stuck waiting for the tablet to appear. Also make sure you run the tool as Administrator.

Maybe you can reboot Windows and try the above too.

Good luck!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Wolf Hamburg:
Ok, then i am reassured :D

Many thanks for this enlightening words and exelent tool.

Wolf
[Eee Pad Transformer General] teatimecrumpet:
Thanks OP! batch file was run successfully. I think I just had to unplug USB and replug like you said:

Also just to be sure (if anyone else has the same problem):

Plugging and replugging didn't work at first so I rebooted the computer

clicked off USB debugging and then turned it back on

Ran the first download (the 1.1)

Ran the batch as admin

Got got the waiting for tablet message and unplugged and replugged

Then it did it's than and voila

thanks OP will give it a test and post again if I see anything
[Eee Pad Transformer General] doc2142:
I am new to this so sorry in advance.

I would like to install cm10 on my TF101 it has ICS on it. Do I only need to just root it? or do I need to install something else?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] simkhovich:
sooooo....

any news for a root exploit for JB
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cdurex:
What I did was:

1. Run the "1-Click Transformer Root.bat". (v1.1), and you get root automatically, with first run.

Then run the tool again, and a menu is presented:

1. Unroot!
2. Reboot into current recovery.
3. Install CWM recovery.
4. Install Asus stock recovery.
5. Quit

So choosing option (3) will get you CWM Recovery on your tf101.

Then the tool will leave you in the main menu of Rouge XM Recovery 1.3.0 (CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7)

that's the version this tool installs. ;)

And you can go from there! To install any custom rom easily

Make sure you read and search the best CM10 that is "stable" for your tf101!

Reporting on TF300TG

Just to report that I have successfully run (as administrator) 1-Click Transformer Root version 1.1 on my fresh TF300TG (sd card was unmounted).

In about 3/4 minutes and a couple of reboots my device was rooted. :D

Worked like a charm!

Thanks to you, Idcrisis :good:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] NotYetRated:
Rooted my TF101 successfully, but CWM will not install.

9.2.1.27

TF101

Ran the 1.1 1-click recovery

"flashing recovery.....recoveryblob"

md5sum cant open recoveryblob

recoveryblob.md5: no such file or directory

reboots to a driod with his chest open error...

EDIT:

Same thing trying to go back to stock, using option 4. It appears to work, but when rebooting in to recovery get the little droid exclamation error.

EDIT2:

Downloaded the recoveryblob from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1446019, the 5027 and 5028. Placed them in the SOURCE folder of the 1 click recovery tool.Got MD5checksum errors with both.

Question about updated CWM

Hello idcrisis and thanks again for this tool; neat work keep up the good coding ;).

so my question: To update to new CWM from where I am now:

I'm rooted and have CWM specifically this one -> Rouge XM Recovery 1.3.0 (CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7 ).

What do I have to do, just run the new tool again and pick to install CWM? or something esle?

Thanks for your help!

P.S: I used this tool, version 1.1; to get root and CWM.

To answer my own question :D :o

I went here to get the version you use to update the tool -> Rogue XM Recovery 1.5.0 (CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.8).

And downloaded this file -> cwm_recovery-5028_rogue-1.5.0_rburrow-tf101-r1.zip

Then I just rebooted to my current CWM.

And selected install from ZIP, next selected the zip file I downloaded from my SD, then install.... wait a couple of minutes and BAM!

Now I'm happy with my touch version of Rogue XM Recovery 1.5.0 (CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.8)on my tf101 :victory:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kajjeb:
Same here. Seems like it can't find recoveryblob. I'll try to put the .bat file in the source folder....

And it's still the same error :crying:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Stevens1993:
WORKS!

It worked on my TF101 .27!

Thanks !
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cdurex:
Question about Nandroid in CWM

I'm moving this to the development forum of Rouge XM Recovery

here is the moved post ;)

Gona leave this here for reference:

Its about nandroid backups

I notice that when I do a Backup and Advanced Backup of all partitions.

The only partitions that I see saved in my backups are cache, data and system.

And boot and recovery are left out for some reason.

Anyone having this issue?

P.S.: I tested it in both versions of CWM.

- Rouge XM Recovery 1.3.0 (CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7)

- Rouge XM Recovery 1.5.0 (CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.8)

and same result in either.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brad49201:
This worked great on my TF101. I just did the new updated recovery but when I try to do a backup I get an error "error mounting backup path"

----------------------update--------------------------------------

I didn't have an sd card mounted, once I did it worked fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] csb5731:
kai noviro

TF101 B90 .27

Root worked fine, but CWM backup option is giving me the same prone open-armored android screen that stock recovery does (stock I think is supposed to).

De-rooting also worked fine.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Hi guys,

Apologies there was a bug which crept in when I updated the CWM version.

I have rectified it.

Please download the latest tool and extract it to a new directory ( don't use the existing directory).

Wait for some time for the new CWM to download ( the source directory will contain recoveryblob.7z, recoveryblob and recoveryblob.md5 )

and then select option 3 to install CWM.

Cheers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] teteu86:
I would like to thank you.

I've just rooted a new TF300T, previously with 9.4.3.30.

But I have one question: when the next firmware update is released, can I make it, without causing problems with the rooted state?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] FrenchOnly:
Hi idcrisis thanks for this awesome tool :)

However I have this problem when executing 1-click Transformer-Tool.bat, after pressing any key (space bar), series line kept coming.

I had drivers installed already, usb debugging enabled, adb devices showed that my Asus Slider was connected.

1.Do I have to place extracted .zip in certain folder?

2.I have another adb files related in different folder which I use to play my LG Optimus p500, should I replaced or delete them?

3. What causes the problem ? Been waiting more than 7 minutes but those lines are endless

Thanks

------------------------------------------------------------------------edited---------------

SOLVED ! Now have root and cwm :D

by clearing PATH in windows system environment from my previous adb
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
I guess you shouldn't allow any JB updates to come through. You could lose root.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Aliante:
Thank you

Successfully rooted my tf101 (build 9.2.1.27)

Only one point worth mentioning: after rooting the tablet I let the latest update for SuperSU being installed.

After such update I wanted to install CWM, but the tool only offered me the option to root the tablet, once more.

I had to go through the process of re-rooting my tablet to be able to finally install CWM.

Apparently after installing the SuperSU update, the tool was not able to recognize the tablet as rooted.

Not a big deal, anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Yeah, you're right. But that should be a one time matter. Earlier the tool used to install Superuser.apk and su in /system/bin/ and now it installs Supersu and su in /system/xbin.

So it may look like it's not detecting root but what it's doing is actually bringing root up to the current tool standard. Subsequent runs should be fine.

Thanks for your feedback.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] andycire:
This works on my Asus Tf101. Before using this I have been searching the web on how to go back to Asus stock rom and it led me to this forum. Before using this tool, I have CWM recovery and Android Revolution HD 3.5.1 Rom installed and later I tried Cyanogenmod JB. All works fine. No issues. I just wanted to go back to Stock recovery and stock rom to be able to take advantage of the OTA updates. Thank you for this. You're the best, Man!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] reposedhysteria:
Yay!

Successfully rooted my TF101 (9.2.1.27) with the 1.1 version, the process only took a minute or two. I then installed CWM. Thanks, everyone.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] joecool73:
Just rooted my Asus tf101 build 9.2.1.27. Worked great and was rooted in under 5 minutes. No problem what so ever, great job to the developer for making a one click rooting solution. The only thing Im a little unclear on is option 3 and 4 on the menu below. If I install the CWM (3) or Asus (4) will that flash my device or just install it to allow it to flash the ROM at a later date? I currently have the SuperSU and Ti backup as well as App Quarantine. I dont plan on using custom ROMS any time soon. Im also on the stock ROM that came with the tablet. Do I need to install (3) or (4)? Thanks.

LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE ROOT ALREADY!

1. Unroot!

2. Reboot into current recovery.

3. Install CWM recovery.

4. Install Asus stock recovery.

5. Quit
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Aliante:
If you do not plan installing a custom ROM or making a nandroid backup, you do not need to install CWM.

With option (3) you will simply flash the recovery partition so that you are ready to ready to install a custom ROM or perform any additional activity offered by CWM.

It will not flash/change your system/boot partition.

NOTE: by installing CWM you will loose the possibility to automatically install any official Asus OTA update (should they ever release a new one in the future).

Option (4) is simply "undoing" option 3 and reinstalling the stock ASUS recovery (so that you can install the Asus OTA if required).

It makes sense only if you have already installed CWM, in your case you still have the stock Asus recovery, so it would simply overwrite it with the same data.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Babalonis:
I rooted my tf101 and all seemed fine, until i checked the play store 25 cent app page today and found that it had not updated. I had to reboot my device for it to refresh. I have also noticed that i do not receive gmail notifications anymore. I'm wondering, will the play store no longer refresh and is there a fix for gmail?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Uppsala9496:
Thank you for the one click root. I was in the dreaded endless boot loop. Was able to get out of it. Enough was enough, so time to root and install a rom. Really appreciate your work on this! Was by far the easiest device I have rooted (captivate GS, Gnex and now tf101).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Hi,

There have been no such reports really. May not be related to the root process.

What is related is that you need to reboot once to see SuperSU. Till then root apps will work fine anyway.

You can try Titanium backup and repair all Market links. Also enable gmail sync manually.

Good luck!

help

I am trying to root my android transformer tf 101 android version 4.0.3

but always fails at stage 2

connected ... doing step 2

I've been waiting a long time but it did not work.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Hi,

Can you change the first line of the batch file to:

@echo on

and then capture the output ( You might need to increase your DOS window scroll buffer in the Properties -> Buffer Size to 999 )

Then please attach the output here in a reply.

Also you can try version 1.0 of the tool. It uses a different mechanism than version 1.1.

Also sometimes the tablet gets stuck on the reboot screen and you may need to hard reset it using the power buttons.

Cheers.

TF300TG and JB

Hi idcrisis,

JB upgrade announced by my Asus tablet on the 6th of October. Currently on Icecream. Did'nt do the upgrade as I'm afraid that I will lose root on the machine.:D

I guess that we will have to wait then for a JB version from you for the TF300TG or should we go for the upgrade.....:confused:

thx
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Pada:
Ya

I tried last weekend and rooting the TF101 links didn't work for newer ICS.

This weekend this link worked and I used Cyanogen from Oct0612 .

Came from the latest Stock Asus ICS build and earlier Model TF101

The Touch part is So nice

All good so far . Thanks to all !@!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hisname:
Thanks for the root. but I installed the drivers and it just told me "waiting for device for first step.....

of you didn't have drivers installed then this can take up to 5 mins"

I waited for about an hour already. I close the programme reinstall drivers but still did not work.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] nooktablet:
- make sure you have usb debugging enabled.

- to check that you really have driver installed, open Device Manger and check to see if you see something like "asus adb"
[Eee Pad Transformer General] evolving:
i got root useing your tool however ive tried over and over to run the tool after root and cant get but the 3 options to pop up. unroot,quit,go to recovery and if i go to recovery it dont work can i manually push the recovery?i did download the recovery in source folder and its there just wont push it on through,maybe im missing something?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Hi,

You must be having a non 101 tablet.

That is by design.

Those options are only for the 101 tablets.

Mentioned in the first post.

Cheers!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] evolving:
OK guess that explains it.I got the tf300t.will go back and read a little slower this time.
