Hi,

Thanks a lot for taking the time to provide a detailed feedback. It is highly appreciated.

As far as other recoveries as concerned, I see no reason why others can't be installed over this one. I am doing it quite frequently to try and figure out which ones don't suffer from the bootloops etc that you mention.

I am also not sure what you mean by 'prevented me from installing another recovery', but I think it may have something do with the fact that staging partition permissions go back to normal over reboots and flashing a recovery as a normal user won't work.

But you now have root, say you want clockwork-5.8.3.4-tf101.img, so you should be able to do something like:

su -c "dd if=/sdcard/clockwork-5.8.3.4-tf101.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4"

If you don't want to mess around on the tablet, you can use "1-Click Transformer Root" to do it for you, just some behind the scenes changes needed.

Simply rename the 'clockwork-5.8.3.4-tf101.img' to 'recoveryblob' and the

'recovery-clockwork-5.8.3.4-tf101.img.md5sum.txt' to 'recoveryblob.md5'

and replace the corresponding files (with backup) in the 'source' directory of the tool.

Then run the tool and choose option '2. Install CWM recovery. '

This will now go and install the new recovery.

Mind you this particular one and a all 5.5+ I tried had the bootloop problem, so if you come across any updated one from here:

http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/

which doesn't then do let me know and I'll update the tool.

The only permanent solution seems to be to recompile the recovery with a solution along the lines of:

Another day maybe.

The tool does not work, because it does not recognize ICS.

Log see attachment.

I have Windows 7 64bit and Transformer TFT 101 with build 9.2.1.24 and ICS 4.0.3.

Tablet is in USB-Debugging mode.

Can you help me, please?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shadowjin:
No rush, your tool works and installed the correct version.

The recovery your using in your 1-click Transformer tool is the Rogue XM version 1.3.0 CWM-based v5.0.2.7 from Team Rogue. From here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1446019

I rooted and installed CWM from your tool, when I went into recovery I noticed it had Rogue installed. There newer version is touch but I originally wanted the non touch version. (in your tool already)

Clockworkmod from the playstore seams to cause a boot-loop into recovery if downloaded and flashed from there app. This is strange because I had read it was patched along time ago.

(I was on stock , stock recovery, rooted with firmware .24) Before I reverted via APX than used your tool.

What I meant to say by "it wont let me change recoveries".

When I tried to flash Rogue's touch version after your exploit, it flashes and says done, after a full reboot than return to recovery.... the non-touch was still installed. I left it alone because its worked in the past before and never caused any bootloops.

Thanks again.

Problems with root

Thanks for this easy method. I am able to get only so far and then I have problems. The process seems to be stuck. The TF101 get stuck at recovery, while the cmd window keeps rolling, with a message 'timeout' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Device not found.

Also, an error window (many of them) pops up with the following:

\adb-drivers\dpinst_x64.exe is not a valid win32 application.

Thanks for any advice.

I tried shutting down the TF101 and rebooting to recovery, but I am not able to get back to the recovery screen. I am pressing volume down and power. I get to a screen with an android icon, and a wipe data icon. Eventually it just reboots back to the usual operating system. BTW I am on firmware .24
[Eee Pad Transformer General] shadowjin:
When you hold down and power there should be numbers and words pop up after a few seconds of it starting.. than you press up ..............that would throw you into recovery. Pressing nothing goes back to android cold boot and data wipe icons.

From what I understand is that your stuck in recovery boot loop. His exploit does a few full reboots before installing recovery and rooting. If your stuck in a recovery bootloop it wont work (since it cant finish the process).

Did you flash any other recovery before using this tool? The reason im asking is because last night I had flashed by mistake CWM (I was rooted) from the playstore and had the same thing. Other root tools couldn't exploit the tf101 because of the recovery boot loop wouldn't let boot up like normal. I ended up using APX to revert to full stock than ran the "1-click Transformer tool" root and install CWM and it worked. It would install Rogue recovery which is CWM based from Team Rogue. If it succeeded it would say "team rogue" with green and white in the recovery instead of the typical CWM.

CWM for the playstore prevented a new recovery to stick after flashing and would boot loop into recovery. Even after saying it flashed correctly with no errors. In laymens term, I was stuck in a continuous loop skipping start up.

If you have alot of apps, go to the store and download apps to SD grey folder with 2 apps inside.. Back them up and move the app backup files to the removal memory. Revert everything via APX mode and use the tool again. It should work. I just did mine a few hours ago and a friends a few minutes ago. It worked again.

False, I have the same set up Windows 7 64 bit original TF101 1rst gen , exact same build and it worked. I used it again for a buddy of mine to give him root and CWM recovery with the same build and machine. Worked in less than 3 minutes. If you read a few pages back its worked for other people. The log file you added is incomplete by the looks of it it sounds like you wrote it in as it was working.

You will need to plug the device in to your computer , open up a command prompt/terminal

then, CD to your android-sdk/platform-tools/ directory

then, type ./adb logcat

This will give you a live debug log of what's going on in the device. If you need to filter to only see certain lines, use ./adb logcat | grep "something"

Edit: They also have an app that does this.

Hope this helps.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Hi, this is strange. Can you change the first line in the bat file to:

@echo on

and increase the DOS window buffer and send me full output please.

The output before:

'Only ICS tablets supported by this tool. Going to quit now.'

contains the build number as detected by the tool so that should give an indicator as to where the problem lies.

Also, do use the latest version of the tool as exists now. I am updating it almost every day.

Sorry about that, will start versioning after around 20 reports of success and changes are only weekly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] drtomc:
Thanks very much for the quick response. Seems I can get into Rogue recovery, but still not rooted. When I try to start Titanium backup, it says I don't have root privileges.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] illingd:
OK -- I'm sorted then. :good:

Thanks to various people for your replies (and your patience!) :)

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Sl2HQQTaLw0/UDNmqcEMLCI/AAAAAAABJC8/5zbYH_eUAks/s675/error.PNG

I got the rom manager recovery now and as you know it's pretty useless.

What am i doing wrong? :o
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Can't see image.

Have to mention that this tool is not supported for custom ROMs, only stock ROMs.

Plse Help

Downloaded the rootkit and extracted it.

Click the "1-Click Transformer Root.bat" BUT I keep getting the following error:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Looks like you need to extract the entire .7z file including the folder hierarchy. You might be missing the 'Source' subdirectory.

You may have extracted only the BAT file or may be running the BAT file from inside the uncompress utility GUI.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Can you upload the error image to some other place, maybe here so I can see what error you're getting.

You can always install the good recovery manually.

Copy the 'recoveryblob' file from the 'Source' subdirectory of '1-Click Transformer Root' to the tablet using the following steps:

1. Open a command prompt ( cmd.exe ) and then CD to the 'Source' directory mentioned above.

2. Run the command:

.\adb.exe push recoveryblob /sdcard/

3. Connect to the tablet:

.\adb.exe shell

4. In the tablet escalate to root and Install the recovery

su
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryblob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
reboot
[Eee Pad Transformer General] simkhovich:
sorry if this is a repost

question does this still work with the tf300 jb update. i lost root and want it back
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TenTwenty:
I extracted the whole hierachy. Source, drivers, etc.:D

Going to try it on another machine within the next hour.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Very strange.

You can try and open a DOS prompt and CD to the 1-Click directory (not the 'Source' directory but where the batch file resides) and run the batch file in there from inside the dos prompt by running (including the quotes):

"1-Click Transformer Root.bat"

Also please report your OS version etc. and replace the first line of the BAT with:

@echo on

instead of the current

@echo off

and then run the tool again and capture the output and post it here please. That would help a lot.

Thanks and cheers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Not likely or confirmed yet. Currently the tool will exit if it detects non-ICS.

Waiting for someone to try some manual checks to confirm, if the exploit works, look some posts above...

Then I'll modify the tool accordingly if the exploit still works.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] TenTwenty:
@idcrisis. It worked! Tried the PC at home and it all went smooth.:) Obviously something not nice on my laptop.

Great, next step is the CWM that we anciously await for the TF300TG;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Cheers!

I don't think I'll be putting recoveries for these other tablets with locked bootloaders. I don't know if I have the shinies to attempt blind development for these tablets that I don't own. And there are too many letters in red which spell B-R-I-C-K in all those forums that I read about these tablets. :)

You can try this:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] robgee789:
Would this tool work with the tf700?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
If you're on ICs, you can try v1.1. There's no check to prevent it from tryin on the TF700. YMMV and absolutely no warranties.

But do report your findings.

Good luck!

Maybe you can try and do this:

and post your results. That will confirm if it works and then you can go ahead and use the tool.

Slightly safer though even the check is not warranted and you assume all risks :)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Yup, you can try this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30430703&postcount=372

and if the permissions of /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 are changed to:

brw-rw----

instead of:

brw-------

Then the exploit works and I'll modify the tool accordingly. Estimated chances of bricking very low if you try this first I'd say.

great piece of work - thanks a lot ! Friedrich
[Eee Pad Transformer General] simkhovich:
i think i might be doing something wrong(don't use adb that much) but it says permission dined "shell@android:/ $ mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak

failed on '/data/local/tmp' - Permission denied"
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Or they may have patched the exploit. This was expected really. An exploit is actually not a good thing just that we love it because it helps us get root.

But in the classical sense it is a vulnerability in the OS that should be patched and was.

Sorry mate, we'll have to wait for a new JB exploit.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] simkhovich:
Oh well hope some one is working on it
[Eee Pad Transformer General] renmo:
when a new jb mod rom comes out (like a new revolution mod ) we can upgrade ?

and cant with stock jb or we will loss root ?

yes newbie and already called my mom to tell here she's right :p
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Yeah, better not to upgrade to a stock JB ROM unless the recovery was stripped from it and replaced with CWM.

Thanks

Thanks for creating this for those like me that need the extra help.

One thing I didn't think of, that is probably obvious to most, is that my tablet had gone into power saving mode (screen black). It took me 5 min to figure out I needed it on. I also killed Asus Sync - but it bounced back at one point and had to kill it again.

Thanks loads.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Hi, sorry to hear your plight.

When the tablet is in recovery, hope you have ADB access to it, else run the 1-Click tool and it should install the drivers and at least give you ADB access. Then run this on the PC:

adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 count=13

adb reboot recovery

That'll get you out of the bootloop and into the ROM. Then you can run 1-Click again and install the good CWM ( v 5.0). It's important that you remove the faulty CWM as it will happen again if you don't.

If you don't have ADB access, then you can boot into the Factory reset option in the tablet by rebooting and keeping the power and vol down key pressed. Don't release it when you see the recovery screen, keep them pressed (for at least 15 seconds and two screen flashes) until the factory reset option - two icons, one green Android and on Wipe Data option appears. Make sure that you don't do anything or at least make sure that you're on the green Android. Don't make any selection. Just let the menu timeout with the selection still on the green Android and it should then boot you into your ROM.

Then you can remove that pesky CWM.

Good luck!

Sorry for my bad ingliesh

Thanks for reply
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Hi,

Do you have root already? From this tool? What options are you getting when you run the tool?

This tool really supports unroot for root obtained using this tool but you can give it a try.

Cheers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Did you do the first type 'adb shell dd' or the second type (manual buttons)?

If you're on the Asus logo then you can possibly restart using the buttons and it should get you into the OS.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bradeanur:
I do not know what you mean first or second type. I think i tried everything what indicated on the web. I suspect i have no rom on the transformer... so it does not start...

the recovery that i have now is 6.0.1.3 and doesnt recognise the microsd card

---------- Post added at 10:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ----------

I need to change that recovery with a working one but i have to do it with the tablet beeing in recovery
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
From your first post it seemed that you had a working ROM and just had a bad version of recovery from using ROM manager and were stuck in a recovery loop.

So I suggested two ways to get out of the recovery loop.

Now it seems that you may not have a proper ROM too. Is that correct?

If so you can you still connect to you tablet in recovery using 'adb shell from your PC?

If so I'll send you the commands to flash the stock firmware.

If you can't connect using Adb while the tablet is in recovery then it just must be a driver issue. You can install the drivers provided with 1-Click and then see if you can get adb to connect.

Hello, I comment my case. After trying several roms JB (Jelly and Cyanogen) and Revolver 4.1 and 4.2, are several problems that I no longer like solving.

At first everything worked properly, but then I wanted to try again Revolver 4.2. I've been able to get, but from there I stopped working on wifi (connects and desconerta continuously within 1 second). Just can funcinar in Cyanogen, but with Poser browser that takes the flash and shot.

I also stopped working the microsd (I have a couple), but this in all roms, the skewer and nothing. I go to storage settings, and if I'm not setting out, I click on "change" but does nothing.

Apart is installed Cyanogen Recovery and whenever I turn it gets into recovery, I can only turn a CoolBoot.

Then I tried to do it by this method but I get the following error:

""unable tu chmod ./busybox: no such file or directory

Tablet specific stock recovery are being downloaded in the background

Checking Tablet firmware number...

/system/bin/sh: ./cut: not found

Only ICS tablets supporterd by this tool. Going yo quit now""

I no longer know what to do with it, I'm desperate, I tried to wipe factory, cache, coolboot, wipe (the origin of the tablet), change rom, in recovery ...

Has this happened to anyone? You know how could fix it?
