[Transformer TF300T General] uberpippi:
I just bought this tablet. It came with 9.4.3.30 pre-installed, and Android 4.0.3

Because it had 9.4.3.30 installed already, i started at Part 1, step 6, and used the automated rooting toolkit. That worked fine.

Now I'm trying to get Jellybean on here. I downloaded the files in the post, put them in the right places with a root explorer app, rebooted into recovery by holding down volume down and power, and then volume up, and it almost immediately takes me to the android symbol with the exclamation point.

I looked at the last_install log in the /cache/recovery folder, and it says:

Verifying update package...

|:verify_file returned 1

E:signature verifcation failed

Installation aborted

|:result_code: 405

I can post the whole log if it's helpful.

I'm fairly new at this, and I've read a bunch of different things, but I'm not sure which one would apply in this situation.
[Transformer TF300T General] xxboarderxx:
Don't hold the volume buttons as you will reboot into recovery with 'stock' recovery on there. That's why you see the android with exclamation. Just restart the tablet and the the tablet should execute the "command" script and find the dlpkgfile file. You may have to copy the command file into the folder again since as soon as it executes, it gets erased

Re: [GUIDE]Upgrade your TF300t to Jellybean, recovery, root & remove bloatware[Noobpr

When i just reboot it without the volume keys, it just reboots. I make sure the files are in the right directory every time ive tried.
[Transformer TF300T General] tjk639:
Just want to make sure I have this right.

I'm on 10.4.2.20 NA TF300T 32GB version. I would start from step 3 download the two files and extract the fastboot recovery files. Connect my tablet and Open a command prompt. Make sure I am in the folder and then type adb reboot bootloader to get my tablet into the bootloader. Type the respectable command for which recovery I want. After that just go into recovery and install the root file. Install super user app of choice and Call it a day.

It's that right? Will I need to unlock the bootloader still (didn't see it in this guide) and I'll need the android sdk for adb right?

Re: [GUIDE]Upgrade your TF300t to Jellybean, recovery, root & remove bloatware[Noobpr

You almost have it...

Unlock the bootloader first yes, with the APK from asus, no other way to unlock other than this...after that...

Follow what you said with one minor correction. After you "adb reboot-bootloader" (yes there's a hyphen in there), you will be presented with the bootloader screen on your tablet. Push the vol down button until you've highlighted the USB icon, then press vol up. You are now in fastboot mode.

Still connected to your PC, try typing "fastboot devices" if you get a response of a serial number, then you're good... now flash your recovery of choice:

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery <recoveryfilename.blob> You now have recovery, after the flash is done, type "fastboot reboot-bootloader", you get the bootloader screen again, this time press vol up with the RCK icon already highlighted, and you should be taken into your recovery of choice.
[Transformer TF300T General] tjk639:

This might be a stupid question but would this guide still apply for those who have officially updated to 4.2? Obviously not the upgrading to jellybean parts, but the instructions after that? Would they still work?

Re: [GUIDE]Upgrade your TF300t to Jellybean, recovery, root & remove bloatware[Noobpr

I have a rooted, unlocked bootloader on tf300t. Is there any specific way to upgrade to 4.2? Or can I just do ota?
[Transformer TF300T General] Sib64:
If you are already in 4.2, why you need to upgrade your TF ?

2 solutions:

- If you are in Stock, you can wait for the OTA, but you have a lot of chance to lose your Unlock and your root (for your root, backup it with OTA Rootkeeper, and maybe you can restore your root after the update)

- If you use a custom rom, you don't have access to OTA update...
[Transformer TF300T General] UndisputedGuy:
Re: [GUIDE]Upgrade your TF300t to Jellybean, recovery, root & remove bloatware[Noobpr

TWRP

I have had my tablet for a few months and after much reading I decided to root. Thanks to this thread I am stock 10.4.2.20 root with TWRP 2.3.1.0. I am looking to install a custom rom. I will prolly go with a stock based rom. I am just wanting to double check a few things. There are some threads stating to use different version of twrp to install certain roms.

For whatever reason I am double guessing flashing my first rom on a tablet.. I have flashed many on phones.

Is there 1 stable TWRP version to install both custom roms and stock based roms?

Or do I need a certain version for each? If, so which version would you recommend?

CleanROM is saying go with TWRP 2.4.1.0

Thanks...

[Transformer TF300T General] SharksFan1:
I have a few questions regarding unlocking and root the tf300t. The main reason that I want to root it is so I can use my PS3 controller with it.

If I root the tablet can I no longer do the OTA updates or do they just wipe out my root?

If I unlock and root it can I still update it to 4.2.1 (currently running 4.1.1)? If so how would I do that, assuming I can't just use the OTA update?
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
Re: [GUIDE]Upgrade your TF300t to Jellybean, recovery, root & remove bloatware[Noobpr

If u unlock, you can't get otas any longer but you can still flash the latest builds from Asus if you want. Doing this wipes your root and recovery but being unlocked, you can flash it back easily.

I don't know the 4.2.1 question as Asus hasn't posted the entire ROM on their site which is what unlocked people need.
[Transformer TF300T General] DjNawo:
So I can follow this with success running 4.2.1 and stock everything (no root, BL Locked, stock recovery)?
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
Re: [GUIDE]Upgrade your TF300t to Jellybean, recovery, root & remove bloatware[Noobpr

I'm not sure it's been confirmed with 4.2.1 yet.
[Transformer TF300T General] collindv:
Re: [GUIDE]Upgrade your TF300t to Jellybean, recovery, root & remove bloatware[Noobpr

Rumor has it that 4.2.1 update did something funky with the encryption of partitions. Right now I don't think there is a way to root it as twrp and cwm aren't fully functional yet. My guess is it will be possible eventually, just have to wait until the update is released on the Asus site so that more folks here (devs) can get a hold of it and work it out.
[Transformer TF300T General] DjNawo:
Alright. Well I just got the thing ($129 mint "new" with dock thrown in for free!!) so I'm enjoying it stock anyway. I'll wait until 4.2.1 is officially supported for this.

I want to do this soo badly-i right clicked as you said and it extracted (i think) but i have no idea where the extraction files are and then place the the correct file in the fastboot files where are ..."i dont know"....i am sooo sorry for sounding like a doof but I am

seems like i cant do adb @ all i am not well-versed in fastboot abd commands....

2) Extract the recovery with fastboot files zip and open a command prompt in the same folder of the adb and fastboot files (Shift + Right mouse)

3) Reboot into the bootloader of your tablet, type: adb reboot bootloader

4) When your tablet has reached the bootloader navigate with volume down to the usb icon and press volume up to confirm.

5) To flash the recovery type:

- TWRP: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery tf300t-jb.blob

- CWM: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery CWM-Touch.blob

Re: [GUIDE]Upgrade your TF300t to Jellybean, recovery, root & remove bloatware[Noobpr

I can confirm success with it. I started unlocked and rooted on 4.1.1 then upgraded. The only hangup is you need the special version of tarp to flash after you install. Even if you want just root, you must unlock the bootloader to be able to flash it in.

Re- download and try again

Use this part ;)

1) Download these 2 files:

- Jellybean recovery with fastboot files: Fastboot files + JB recovery

- Root files (Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed) => Root files

- You can also download the new CWM Touch recovery if you don't like TWRP: CWM Touch recovery thread or TWRP recovery and download this file : openrecovery-twrp-2.5.5.0-tf300t-JB.img or

openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-JB.blob

2) Extract the recovery with fastboot files zip and open a command prompt in the same folder of the adb and fastboot files (Shift + Right mouse)

3) Reboot into the bootloader of your tablet, type: adb reboot bootloader

4) When your tablet has reached the bootloader navigate with volume down to the usb icon and press volume up to confirm.

5) To flash the recovery type:

- TWRP: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob

- CWM: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery CWM-Touch.blob

6) A blue bar will appear and the recovery will be installed, when the blue bar is filled press volume up + power button to reboot into the tablet.

Now we will root the tablet

7) Copy Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed to the internal storage of your tablet. then reboot into the bootloader again.

8) This time you need to select the RCK icon with volume up to enter the recovery image.

9) In recovery flash Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed and reboot into the system

10) Install

Supersu from Google Play

11) Open up Supersu, it will ask you to update the binary, choose yes.

12) Now your tablet should be rooted [/I]

*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

If you want to push the TWRP recovery by

Terminal emulator

which is really fast and sure, its:

su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
exit

*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

In case you have some problem with SuperSu, just uninstall, wipe cache and dalvik, reboot and re-install via Google play. you will update the binaries, after you will ok.

That means that it cannot find the file twrp.blop in your external sdcard. Are you sure that you renamed the recovery file to "twrp.blop" and that you placed it to the root of your EXTERNAL SD card?...

Alternatively, if you don't have an external SD card you can just put the twrp.blop to the root of your internal sdcard and replace the last line with:

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
