Attempting to use v1.0 to root TF101 w/ Android v4.0.3 | 9.2.1.27. I get the following error...any suggestions?

[Edit] Nevermind...I realized that my phone was also attached to the computer. Duh. Works great!!! Thanks.

===========================================================
1-Click Root and/or Recovery Flash for TF101/TF101G/SL101
===========================================================

This tool will root your tablet automatically.
It only works on the TF101G, TF101 and SL101 models ( not TF201 etc)

Please make sure USB debugging is enabled in
Tablet - Settings - Developer Options

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
power button a little long for off and again for on and let the
batch continue please.

Press any key to continue . . .

Killing any running Asus sync instance

You can start it again after this tool has completed.

.
ADB driver installation was started in the background.
Please accept any prompt to install the drivers.
.
If automated installation doesn't work then you can install drivers manually
from the adb-drivers directory.
.

Waiting for device for first step...

If you didn't have drivers then this can take up to 5 mins

Tablet specific stock recovery files are being downloaded in the background.

Checking tablet firmware number...

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

Hi, I have a big problem.

I want restore my TF300T to full original firware with stock recovery,

but i need of this file

Where I found this?

Please help me.

Thanks.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Hi,

For both these queries I should mention that both v1.0 or v1.1 don't change the recovery in any manner for the TF201 or TF300X. These tablets always remain on the stock recovery.

v1.1 can give root for the TF300X and TF201 in addition to the TF101(G)/SL101.

v1.0 doesn't work at all for the TF300X.

That screenshot is a bit of a bug. The segmentation fault is also a bit of a bug. I'm working on it.

I believe some people have gotten the 1.1 to root the TF300T(G) as it is, so you can try again if it doesn't work. I'll try and update the tools very soon to solve these two issues.

Thanks for your patience.

Cheers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Hi,

I have updated the tool. Please try with the updated tool to see if this is fine.

Cheers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] domesdkg:
Used the new tool, works great!

Unfortunately, I can't get into my recovery anymore. When I try to go to recovery from ROM manager, I just get a reboot. Tried reflashing the recovery, but no go.

At first I could use the one step tool to get into recovery, but now that I'm running CM10, (jellybean) it doesn't work anymore...

P.S. is there somewhere I can donate for this great tool? :D

Edit: I get an error, something about "unable to chmod ./busybox"

is there a way to pause it before it closes? then I could get the exact message.

I tried re-installing busybox on my tablet, but it didn't help.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Hi,

You can perhaps try these to get into recovery:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.transformer.recovery&hl=en

or

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1173434

Or what about the old fashioned way of rebooting while Holding down Volume Down and Power button together until your Transformer resets and shows you the recovery screen? :)

Thanks for your help in debugging the error. Although hope you're not on Jellybean as this tool is not meant for non-ICS.

You can do the following to troubleshoot:

1. Change the first line to:

@echo on

2. Put the following line:

pause

at line 75 after the '%ADB% shell "cd /data/local ; chmod 755 ./busybox;....' command

and then run the tool. You should get an extra pause right after the error. Else you can insert the 'pause' statement almost anywhere in the batch file.

Then post the output here with other details like:

1. Tablet model and firmware

2. What are you trying to do?

3. Which version of the tool did you use? v1.0 or 1.1

Also don't forget to increase the DOS window's buffer size by clicking on the top left icon on the window and then 'Properties'->'Options'->'Command History'->'Buffer size' and increasing it to 300 or 500. That should ensure that the output doesn't get cutoff by the default 50 buffer size.

Thanks and cheers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] domesdkg:
First off, thanks for the quick reply!

Before I get into your suggestions, let me clarify the situation, I was a little vague the first time.

The situation as of my previous post:

I started from stock ICS, and the tool worked properly, rooted etc.

Then, before flashing any roms, I could use the tool to get into recovery, but all other methods failed. (power switch vol, Rom manager)

When I got into the recovery, it was the CWM BASED recovery that seems to come with the tool, regardless of how many times I flashed CWM recovery from ROM manager.

I then flashed a JB rom, and all methods (power switch vol, Rom manager, reboot options) currently fail to get me into recovery. (including the tool)

This works! Booted to CWM recovery (first time I've seen the standard CWM recovery instead of the modified one)

... but now when I select reboot system now I just end up back in the Recovery.

Flashing a new version of the JB ROM doesn't resolve the issue.

Flashing back to CM9 (ICS) doesn't resolve the issue.

I'd love to help more, but I seem to be at a bit of an impasse right now :crying:

Tried running the tool while in recovery, but it doesn't do anything (I'd assume it's not supposed to?)

Edit: Phew! I got it to boot normally by holding down vol-down and not selecting recovery. Will trouble shoot a little more and report back.

Interestingly, I have to do this every time.

Edit2: Ran the tool again the output I get is:

Hi, I have trayed the last tool, but after I made the unroot the superuser app is always present.

I have the TF300T.

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] domesdkg:
have you tried to uninstall the superuser app as normal?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
The app is installed as a System app so uninstall may not work. You can use Titanium Backup or a similar tool to remove System apps.

Or you can simply remove it manually using the following on the PC:

adb shell

su

rm /system/app/Superuser.apk

reboot

That should remove it.

I can't replicate the error here as I only have a TF101G and on that the app is removed properly.

Maybe you used a different Superuser app than the one installed by this tool. Then you can remove it manually using the steps shown above, just replace the name of the APK with the one that you have.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Few things to note:

1. 1-Click is no more an issue as you're running JB and this tool isn't for that.

2. There's a sticky post in this forum which says you shouldn't use ROM manager with the transformer as it doesn't know where the recovery partition is on the Transformer. You should use any of the other tools to boot into recovery

3. Similarly you should not use ROM manager to flash any ROM because of the same incompatibilities. You should flash all ROMs using CWM flash

4. There is a nasty bug in most CWM versions for the transformer 5.5+ that present that bootloop as you encountered. You should not use the latest versions of the recovery even if they says it's for the transformer. There is a solution to boot into the OS after you get stuck in this loop but I'm not aware if there is any 5.5+ version out there that has solved this issue permanently. Best if you stay on the recovery installed by this tool. It might say 5.0 and sound out of date, but it's been used in this tool for all these various reasons.

Good luck!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] domesdkg:
Woh, thanks for the heads up! I've gotten so used to CWM on other devices that I didn't even consider this a possibility.

I need some advice please ...

The About info of my transformer gives the following:

Model number = Transformer TF101

Android version = 4.03

Kernel version = 2.6.39.4

Build number = IML74K.WW_epad-9.2.1.27=20120615

I found this post at AndroidAuthority.com ...

http://www.androidauthority.com/tra...-3-root-custom-recovery-one-click-tool-97173/

I downloaded OneclickrecoveryV0.4.zip, unpacked it and ran EasyRecoveryV0.4.bat, as per the ReadMe file

It all went OK and I now have a rooted TF101.

I installed BusyBox, to have a decent set of terminal tools and that works fine.

Now, the root process has given me a recovery called Team Rogue XM Recovery 1.5.0 which appears to be some kind of CWM derivative. However, I think I'd prefer to have a "proper" CWM.

So the question is:

would it be OK to use ROM Manager to install CWM,

or should I use the current 1-Click tool here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1689193),

or would either of these damage my tablet?

Thanks.

i'm having a weird issue after rooting my TF101 with this method.

no matter what, my ASUS will not get detected by my computer. i keep getting the error "USB device not recognized".

even though, the drivers were installed in the first place to even root it.

i've tried to uninstall the drivers from Device Manager, and even downloaded the USB Drivers file from the ASUS site... "ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows.zip"

but when i try to use the INF file with the USB driver, my computer won't allow the use of the INF file.

any help would be much appreciated.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Hi,

If you have root and the stock recovery installation failed then you can run the tool again and choose the install stock Asus recovery option. I am assuming you used v1.0 as v1.1 doesn't affect recovery at all and would have been easier for you.

That will work if the model and firmware specific stock recovery file was downloaded properly in the background in the 'Source' folder.

Else you can manually download it from the second or end of first post and extract the recovery and its MD5 files to the 'Source' folder and run the tool again. Then the install stock recovery option will work properly.

After installing stock recovery, you can try keeping root with OTA Rootkeeper before upgrading. Most probably you'll lose root as the latest upgrade wipes /system.

Fret not, you can run the tool again, preferably v1.1, to get root.

Good luck!

Hi,

This tool is not tested to work on JB. Don't know how you got stock JB on your TF300T. Asus website says that the current firmware is an ICS firmware:

"ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T Firmware: V9.4.3.30 Only for WW SKU (Android 4.0.3)" (http://www.asus.com.au/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/#download)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] vap_66:
The US version TF300T got an OTA JB update yesterday morning, officially. The WW version is getting the update pretty soon, probably. Anyway, the website will have the files later, after the OTA is released for all.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] idcrisis:
Will have to wait for an exploit then, I assume this exploit doesn't work on JB. Maybe you can try this to see if it works:

1. Connect tablet to the computer and start ADB shell session.

2. When you will be in adb shell execute following commands:

mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak

ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /data/local/tmp

exit

3. Now reboot your tab through this on the PC:

adb reboot

4. After reboot start another ADB session and run:

ls -l /dev/block/mmcblk0p4

And report the output of that.

If it shows that it's writeable then I'll modify the tool to attempt it in JB too.

BTW, no warranties as to what might happen on JB by pointing the link to the raw partition. It may be risky and/or you may be a pioneer :fingers-crossed:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] vap_66:
I'm still with ICS and rooted, waiting for the WW update. But it's backed up with Voodoo OTA RootKeeper, and based on what people reported, it will restore the root only if SuperSU was used. If I will lose root after the update, I'll follow your instructions, risky or not :D.

Nope, I've put in some checks so it will not continue if it detects a Prime.

Im not new to rooting or recoveries. Ive also rooted my transformer before but reverted to stock before the new update. This works flawlessly and installs Rogue recovery which doesn't boot loop from restarts. Also rooted my device in one sitting. Thank you!! (thanks was given) :)

In the past I used ViperMOD primetime to root and installed rogue recovery. I had my unit rooted just stock recovery and made the mistake of downloading clockwork mod from the playstore and Flashed from within the app. This caused my recovery to boot loop into recovery when restarted and some how prevented me from installing a different recovery. Long story short, I went back to stock using APX than used your "1-click-transformer root tool" and it worked perfectly and installed the correct recovery that doesn't boot loop.

Easy and painless. On a random note I own the first generation of tf101.

Edited for feedback: The only thing I noticed is that it doesn't allow me to add a new recovery after using this exploit. This isnt a big deal because its the correct recovery that prevents boot loops (Rogue CWM). When I tried flashing Rogue CWM touch it did the same as ROM Manager ClockworkMod from the playstore. (prevented me from installing another recovery) minus the boot loop into recovery.

regardless, it works flawlessly. But seams to not allow you to switch recoveries. Again, its not a big deal because its the anti boot loop version.
