Hi,

Best if you don't upgrade as you'll lose root.

I'm not too sure if I'll be able to continue with this tool as a rooting option for JB.

There might be some developer who may be able to take the stock JB ROM blob and remove the stock recovery from it and replace it with CWM and publish it all as a CWM flashable ZIP. Then you can flash it and then flash the SuperUser CWM ZIP as you will still have CWM.

So you won't lose your data and it'll effectively be like an OTA update.

This is along the lines of that done by Lizard for the TF101 done here:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1627301

I am, one day, going to publish a similar site for the TF101G. But can't, or wouldn't be myself doing it for the TF300X as I don't personally own one and would be essentially developing blind. The principal should remain the same though.

There is some model specific unlocking and locking from Asus that might play a part which I don't fully understand as my TF101G has no such feature/requirement. But my guess is it would only work with an unlocked tablet.

Or you can try using fastboot to get root:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1845377

Or it may seem that OTA Rootkeeper may still work with Jellybean:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1840504

If that's the case, then 1-Click makes a copy of 'su' in the /system/folder compatible with OTA Rootkeeper. Maybe someone who has lost root can simply run OTA Rootkeeper and see if they can restore it.

Good luck!

Hi idcrisis

Thanks for a honest reply from the heart. It's much appreciated. Thanks also for the efford and being wiling to always be of help. :)

Idcrisis

Thank you for your tool – the root was very fast and easy :). (tf101)

Now, two newbie’s questions:

1. How can I return to the previous firmware with a blob file you’ve attached to the first post?

2. Can I prevent the OTA updates (I’ve found that the 9.2.1.17 was the best for me)?

Thanks in advance
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Hi,

The blobs in the first post aren't to go to a previous firmware. They're not the entire ROM but just the recovery stripped out from them. They're to go to stock recovery if you're on CWM recovery.

To do what you want, you can go to:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622628

and use 'Method 1' to flash the 9.2.1.17 ROM, the blob for which is located in the same post ( Look for 9.2.1.17 ;) under the 'TF101/G BLOBs' section )

If you want to prevent OTAs then you can simply downgrade and install CWM recovert. OTAs will never succeed after that.

Cheers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] iHateApple83:
Great Success

Worked like a charm, no issues or bugs. Now time to find a good ROM.

As for the guy above, the best way I've found to stop the OTA notifications and downloads is to download fota.apk you can find it and install. No more bs after that.

Thanks again for your hard work !

Hi guys. Just bought this device (tf101g) and want to root and flash cust rom. Upon reading this thread i discovered that I'm not tech savvy by far to comprehend the procedure of using this tool. I went through the posts and can not tell which steps of the procedure are obsolete, if any.

Description of my problem:

I dl:ed and unpacked to new dir. Clicked .bat file and was prompted which app to execute command with.

That's how far I got.

Request:

A "-for dummies" guide through the process.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
You need to double click the BAT file and run it, not open it. Maybe this will help:

Hello All,

I am about to root my TF101 on ICS Android version is 4.0.3 and model number is TF101. I bought it over two years ago.

I have a few questions.

-How do I stop future updates for my TF101? Future updates will brick my tf101, correct? fota.apk?

-On the topic of future updates, are there any future updates... like JB?

-Which "1-Click Transformer Root" version should I use for my TF101? 1.0? or 1.1? I don't quite understand this.

-How do I backup my system files, or is the only method through option 4? Does this mean I do NOT have to manually backup my system files?

-If I brick my TF101, I should go through option 4 to recovery everything?

-What applications can I use to backup my files before rooting?

Here is my understanding of how to install root on my TF101.

Installing Guide

-download 1-Click Transformer Root_1.1.7z [or 1.0???]

-connect the tablet

-open 1-click transformer

-turn on usb debugging [Tablet - Settings - Developer Options]

-the tablet will reboot several times

-the first reboot, wait 3 mins, if not manually reboot

-adb should be installed by default

-if not, install from adb-driver directory

[wait 5 mins, and manually install the adb drivers]

Thanks for reading my wall of text! I am grateful to all future advice!

TF300T JB

Hi guys,

my TF300T is on JB build 10.4.2.13.

App just quits when trying to apply, so I guess's not working on JB...From other posts seems it doesn't, is that correct?

Will there be a version for JB builds?

Thank you...and compliments to the OP, great job! :good:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Sorry mate, doesn't look like there'll be a JB update.

At least till JB comes to the 101 and I've had a chance to play around with it. Even then it's unlikely for the 300 as I don't have one of those.

Cheers.

I just bought a refurbed TF101. It has OS 4.0.3 and firmware 9.2.1.27. I used your tool v1.1 to root and install CWM recovery. It worked like perfectly. Now I'm on my way to search for the best ROM to install.

I am not interested in overclocking. Can anyone suggest a good stable rom?

Thanks for making a great tool.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MustiHakan:
this may be a stupid question

but how do i know after succesfully completing the .bat file

that it is rooted....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
The tool will say a bunch of OKs after conducting it's tests to see if you have root. They'll probably be the last 3 lines or so.

Then you can install any root app and it should work. You probably won't get the popup for permissions for a root app till you reboot once after using the app. Even before the first reboot, the root apps should work.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tge101:
I need some major help.... I did the rooting on my SL101 and all seemed to be fine, I rebooted and the Asus screen with the loading circle came up and stayed.... and stayed. So, I tried to do the wipe and the blue bar went fine and it rebooted to the same Asus screen, it won't go past it. I, unfortunately did not get a chance to put CWM or any other recovery on before the initial reboot. I did download the firmware image but I'm not sure how to go about flashing it. Also, now I'm not sure if my PC even connects with the pad anymore since I tried running this tool again and it says the device is not found. The MTP driver begins installing and fails everytime. Please someone tell me that I'm not screwed and help me out.

Worked So Well, I Ran It Twice...

...because I wasn't sure it HAD run! Never had such an easy experience with rooting before, so I just couldn't believe that it was finished. Yet, on the 2nd run, it told me I was already rooted - just a great tool, and thank you so much for creating it AND SHARING IT!!!

I bought a used Slider/SL101, so had no idea of it's history, and had never had an ASUS product before, so this was such a relief - rooting working flawlessly.

Rooted

I rooted my tf101 a while back with your 1 click tool and installed a JB custom ROM now i want to unroot the device and install the stock firmware how would i do this? i ran your tool again but it just runs and then the window closes but the abd process is still running in the background. Could i get a little help please?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
This tool probably isn't what you're looking for. You may need to try Wolf's Method 1 from the credits in the original post to this thread. Again better to do that method when you're in recovery as I don't know how well it works in JB.

And you'll also need to do a factory reset and/or data and cache wipe as the JB data will probably not work with ICS.

Good luck!

Having same issue. I moved 1-Click Transformer Root into folder with other files and still got error. Maybe I need to move all the files out of the folder and put someplace else.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cheyennemtn:
Ok after I pulled my head out of my *** I realized I was trying to install this from the Asus file where I had it installed. It needs to be installed from your computer desktop. I didn't see this posted very well in the install directions but I might have missed it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Thanks for the feedback. Will look into it.

I assume you ran it on the tablet first. Usually BAT files can't be run on the tablet but on the PC. Will look at the instructions and see if they can be updated.

This tool will root your tablet automatically.

Please make sure USB debugging is enabled in

Please let this process complete over multiple automatic reboots
even if it boots into recovery please let it continue automatically

First reboot can hang. If it stays stuck on a boot screen
for more than 3 mins please reboot it manually by pressing the

Killing any running Asus sync instance

You can start it again after this tool has completed.

Please accept any prompt to install the drivers.

TF101 Asus stock .27 firmware with guevor kernel 717

Tried this tool to recover lost root, without succes as you may see.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Looks like some other ADB may have come in from somewhere and interrupted the tool's upload process. You can try and kill all running instances of ADB and Asus Sync and other such tools and then re-run the tool.

If it still doesn't run then you can replace the first line in the BAT to:

@echo on

and re-run the tool and capture the full output ( you might need to increase the DOS window buffer) and post it here for troubleshooting.

But if you've already got a custom kernel then you might already have CWM recovery. Then you probably don't need to run this tool as much as simply flash the Superuser.apk and su binary in CWM.

Good luck!

So, I used this to root the tablet some 2 months ago, and now my screen's busted. Anyway, in order for me to RMA I'll need to unroot, and get everything to stock. But when trying to use this program on my pc, then it just goes bonkers and spamming stuff like:

Waiting for device for first step...

'cmd' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

'cmd' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

'timeout' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

It spams that atleast 10 times a second.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, will I need to remove my kernel? And if so, how? I believe I have RaymanFX's Harmony kernel. And custom recovery called "TWRP"
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Mate, unroot is not supported for custom roms and/or kernels, only on the root obtained by this tool on stock roms....But you can still try...run the tool as administrator and see...

And even if that works, your custom kernel and recovery still make it warranty lost....

Best to wipe data first and then install a full stock ROM using Wolf's Method 2 ( check OP, you'll need to use the 'dd' command ). You can do this all using ADB if the screen is not usable.

need a file of "blob_CN_epad-9.2.1.27_recovery.7z"

Hi idcrisis,

First of all, many thanks for your great work. It's really workable on my TF101, :victory:and so simple to the procedure. :good::good:

But as I used the option 4 -- apply ASUS recovery, the tool told a missing of "blob_CN_epad-9.2.1.27_recovery.7z". I'd searched so hard, but still can not find this file in web. And in ASUS official web, the latest rom for CN version is 9.2.1.24 (by yesterday). :silly:

Return to ASUS recovery is important for me. Due to I'd used Rom Manager before applying your tool, it maybe the cause, I can't get into the recovery mode at all right now. And no matter what method I used(manually or by tools), always presented a failure to enter the recovery (a lying down green android on the screen). So that I can't flash any other great ROMs till now. :crying::crying:

If possible, could you please help to provide the right file, or other ways to enter the recovery. Hope you can read this message.

Anyway, thanks a lot in advance. :highfive:

I can second this. This program was the only one that actually worked for me! I tried viperMOD and a few others floating around XDA and AndroidCentral. This worked the first time and it was very quick. Second run installed CWM recovery flawlessly.

Thank you very much! :laugh::good:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Hi there,

First, I'm not too sure, how you got yourself 9.2.1.27 CN stock Asus ROM. You may have got it OTA but since the ROM isn't up on the website, I can't create the recovery for it. If it comes on the Asus website before I notice it, feel free to shoot me another message and I'll upload it.

Second, I think you want to use the 'Install CWM' option rather than the 'Apply Asus Recovery' option. The tool does not change your recoveries, it only gives you root. The installation of CWM recovery is left to you as an optional second step for which you can run the tool again. You can 'get into' this recovery after installing it and then install other ROMs.

Third, and in light of second point above, you may already be on stock Asus recovery. That is indicated by the green Android on the screen when you try to get into recovery. That is the stock Asus recovery. It doesn't have a GUI as such, and you can't 'get into' it somehow.

Good luck!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Mate, I can't even try till Asus create a JB ROM for the TF101G. That's my only device.

Hi Idcrisis,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I got the 9.2.1.27 CN version with OTA. And till now, there's no updated stock ROM to this version in Asus's official website. For sure, once I find out the version updated, I'll inform you.

For second opinion above, you're right again. Due to I wanna update to 3rd ROM, I hope to apply CWM recovery. Frankly, here's the sequence:

1) automatically update to 9.2.1.27 CN by OTA;

2) download CWM ROM MANAGER, and found this app needs a root authorization (I'm not sure if the app modified the recovery or not in this step) ;

3) applied your tool, and get rooted successfully;

4) applied the option 2 of your tool, found still can't get into the CWM recovery (presented the lying android) ;

5) I read some threads in forum, mentioned the failure maybe caused by stock Asus recovery don't allow 3rd recovery directly. It should enter in stock Asus recovery first, then update the 3rd recovery. So that, I hope to recover the original stock recovery, and posted this issue.

Anyway, I'll try again under your suggestion. And will let you know the result later.

Thanks again!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
You can run the tool again and select option 3 directly to install CWM. Its the third scenario mentioned in the OP.

Good luck!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Hi, looks like recoveryblob.7z didn't get downloaded properly. You need an active connection to the internet for the tool to download the recoveryblob.7z and extract it. So you can delete the recoveryblob.7z file and try again ensuring that the tool can connect directly to the internet.

You might need to wait a while after starting the tool and selecting option 3 so that the file can be downloaded and extracted by the tool. I have put in a wait for the stock ROM downloads but as far as I recall the wait doesn't exist for the recovery download.

Else you can even download recoveryblob.7z from the OP and extract its contents to the Source directory. Then run the tool.

Basically you need a valid recoveryblob and recoveryblob.md5 file in the Source directory to be able to use option 3.

Good luck!

cannot update after rooting anymore & bootloop-issue

Hello Asus-fans,

i own a Slider SL101 and i did sucessfully installed root using 1-Click-Transformer-Root from OpeningPage, but while installing this the recovery could not be installed because it cannot be downloaded.

So i dowloaded it manually and sucessfully installed it after extracting right recovery-archive into source dir.

I also have bootloop-issue many times ( Tablet crashes and have bootloop until i press reset-button) and there is also a new OTA firmware-upgrade, but i am unable to install it. I hope OTA-update will remove this problem.

I tried install CWM and also with Asus Stock Recovery, but the firmware-update is not working because always the Recovery-Boot stops at about 50% and show me a damaged android-symbol, similiar on CWM or Stock Recovery.

So how can is set back tablet to install OTA-firmware upgrade and do root tablet again after this update?

Or do i have to remove root to be able to do OTA-Update???

I really hope some can help me out!

thanks in advance
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hisname:
u dont need to un root to have OTA updates, just use OTA root keeper by supercurio. as long as u dont have a custom recovery and u didn't mess with /system files, u can receive a OTA update.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Hi, OTA won't work if you're on CWM. In case you are or just in case, you need to run the tool and install stock recovery. Just to check, you can then boot into recovery using the tool and the damaged android symbol will appear. This is actually ok indicating that you're on stock recovery.

Then you need to reboot back into Android and complete the firmware upgrade from the icon on the bottom right if it says that a new firmware is availabe. That should allow the firmware upgrade to complete.

Good luck!
