You can keep root from .8 to .10 if you do the update OTA or use the dlpkg file. Installing the full firmware will destroy root.

just unlock with asus tool / downgrade to .8 / Root with motochopper / install TWRP / Install cromi X 5.0 :good:
[Asus Transformer TF700] eedenharter:
i am a little bit confused

what is twrp and cromi x 5.0?

Sorry for my stupid questions, but I am a newbii on lunix systems. Is it worth to downgrade and upgrade and take the risk to make my tablet unusable?

Another newbii question: Is it realy necessary to fill out the annoying image verification on top of each post?

Thank you for all your help in this forum.

[Asus Transformer TF700] KoSLoW:
Cromi-X is a custom firmware. The 5.0 has been released 5 days ago. It make your tablet more fast and fluid. TWRP is a custom recovery and is necessary for any custom firmware install.

I was like you on .10 stock last week and after lot of search and good help here ( thanks berndblb) i finally install it !

I'm not usa or english like you so i will put here step by step what you need to do without expleination :

1- Unlock your tablet with asus tool :

http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF300T/Unlock_v8.rar

place the apk file on your tablet and install it / run it and ... let's do

Your tablet is now unlocked

2- if you are on 10.6.1.14.10 you need to downgrade to 10.6.1.14.8 (because motochopper don't work with .10)

But if you are on .8 actually go to Step 4 directly !

3- a*To downgrade you need to download the 10.6.1.14.8 firmware and place it on root of tablet.

http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF700T/WW_epaduser_10_6_1_14_8_UpdateLauncher.zip

Extract the zip file from the zip file ...

b* Restart your tablet and you will see a notification on task bar about update detected. Clik on it and run install.

You are now on 10.6.1.14.8 firmware.

4- Root with motochopper. you must set usb debbuging mod (in developpers options) and Run bat.exe

Your tablet restart automaticcly and you are rooted.

Go on play store and downlod "Root Checker" Run it (accept SuperSU autorisation) and verify if you are Ok !

5- You need install TWRP. Just go on play sotre again and download "GooManager". Install it / run it (accept superSu autorisation) and on top right corner clik on menu [3 point] and clik on "Install OpenRecoveryScript"

6- Download cromi-x 5.0 here : http://d-h.st/IJe

take a micro sd card and put the firmware in. (CROMi-X ODEX 5.0.1_Signed.zip)

7- boot into recovery : press and hold the Volume Down and Power button at the same time.

you will see 3 icon. You must Clik up on Flashing RCK icon it will Boot on TWRP.

8- in TWRP choose "backup" don't touch anything just make sure it's on extranal sd and slide to save.

it's necessary if you have a problem you wil have a save from your last good configuration !

After don't clik on reboot clik on home button and choose "wipe" slide to start and wait...After Clik to return home again

9- Now it's time to install cromi-x Make sure your micro sd is in tablet.

Clik on install / select the zip firmware file on micro sd clik on verify and slide to start install !

The custom firmware have a lot of option when install so don't touch anything just make sure it's 240 dpi (like original firmware)and choose boot loader 10.6.1.27.1 from sbdags.

After installation have fun :)

Are you trying to just root or install a custom ROM?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Zapa93:
Hi there!

So I've recently learned that a rooted TF700 with Cromi-x is far superior than the standard Asus stock ROM and wanted to give it a try. But on the way, I stumbled upon a problem. On the "TO UNLOCK" part, it says to download the file from Asus' website and instal the APK file, but my problem is that when I try doing it, I can't get passed the last part where there's this text about how the garranty gets void if going through it.

When I press the unlock button, it says "Wait" for a minute or two before a message saying it might be some problem with the network and I should try later. I tried restarted the tablet, wifi and still with no luck. Any idea on how to fix this?

Appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks for the quick reply, I wish I could say I got it working now. So I read through that thread, and I tried copying that guy's steps. I have registered my product and all, have GPS and the whole shabang available(so they can track my pad), but when I try to do the DeviceTracker feature that Asus offers, it doesn't come through. After I type in my S/N, it goes on "searching" for 10-15 minutes before saying the commando failed(?).
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I think that is why you can not unlock your device. First you have to find a way to register with Asus server. No one can help you except for Asus support. You can search on Asus website to see if there is a way to do that. You can also call them or send them email and tell them that you want to resgister your device. Please do not tell them that you want to register so you can unlock your device. You can use any other reasons except for unlock one because Asus does not support unlock..:) You can search on this website to find out more information about how to register with Asus server. There are a few users have to go through that process and they will have a better experiences how to deal with Asus support. They will give you a better advice.. Good luck..:fingers-crossed:

[Asus Transformer TF700] rickymh19:
Make sure your tablet is connected to the internet and try again later. The tablet needs to confirm the unlock with Asus servers. They may be having issues. So just try tomorrow or in a few hours or something. Let us know how it goes.

Quick one. I'm rooted with motochopper and want to go back to stock. Is a factory reset all I need yo do? Not worried about saving any data.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
No, root should survive a factory reset. To fully go back to stock, reinstall the Asus firmware (from the full download).
[Asus Transformer TF700] inkogneetoe:
OK. If I update the firmware,one is available,should that get rid of root?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
It will render it inoperable (if you don't protect it) by resetting permissions, but will not remove it.

Hi koslow

do I need to rename the firmware zip.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
If you are currently on stock rom and want to downngrade or upgrade from stock rom, you need to download Asus firmware and unzip it once. You need to copy the second zip file to your internal SD and reboot your device. There is a notification on the lower right corner after a reboot. You need to click it and it walks you through the upgrade or downgrade process. It is very simple and good luck.. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Follow LetMeKnow's advice ^^^^^

The renaming of the Asus zip file is a different scenario. One you can try if the one above does not work.

You rename the (unzipped once) Asus firmware zip file to EP_201_768_SDUPDATE, put that into the root of your microSD formatted in FAT32, boot into recovery and the recovery should see the update file and flash it.

The official Asus zip goes to the root of your internal storage, should get recognized when you boot and a notification should pop up.

The renaming scenario was probably put into place for those cases where you cannot access your internal SD.
[Asus Transformer TF700] inkogneetoe:
Sooo I download the firmware to micro SD and flash via stock recovery? Hey presto.....that fresh out of box smell
[Asus Transformer TF700] KoSLoW:
you don't need to rename it . i do that many times just place it on internal sd on root and restart the tablet. (if you talk about downgrade)

If you talk about cromi X same thing don't rename anything.

Good luck

I will try and re download. I got it the first time direct from asus. I tried to install from sd card and root of internal storage.

Does it matter if the unlock tool is the one for ICS OS or 4.2 JB OS ? My version is 4.1.1 on my tablet. tried to update but it says everything is up to date.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
If it didn't matter - why would they bother to release one for JB?

Did you try it with the ICS version?

To get an update notification clear cache for DMClient and CMClient and see if it pops up or update the firmware manually.

I've been trying to root my TF700T but have ran into a problem.

Right now my bootloader is on 10.6.1.14.8, is that the same as 10.6.1.14.08?

When I follow the steps, I run into a problem where after connecting the tablet and running Motochopper it stucks on

"daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037.

daemon started successfully".

I have followed the process carefully and done everything that needed to be done, but still can't go on with it.

Has anyone encountered this problem before and gotten passed it?

You don't have the right adb drivers installed on your PC. Do a search for infinity root drivers or naked drivers and try them. Alternatively try installing the google android sdk and install the usb drivers included there.

it is currently on 1.14.10 and tried to downgrade to 1.14.8. Download the firmware from ASUS site and tried to install from recovery, but it always fail. Could anyone point me a link on downgrade? Found some webpages but they are all about ICS or early version of JB. Thanks.

Install failed already exists

Hello, is having version 10.6.1.14.10 still an issue? because when I run motorchopper it says (Install failed already exists) I dont know if that is an unrelated issue or not though because I system reseted the device and it was rooted before the reset. I have confirmed that it is not still rooted with root checker.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
You have to unzip the downloaded Asus firmware once. Put the resulting zip into the root of your internal SD and reboot. You should get a notification to downgrade.

---------- Post added at 06:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

You can use the Universal Drivers from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1766220

or install the Android SDK tool and through it the Platform tools and drivers.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/adding-packages.html

Don't worry, you won't ruin your tablet. You downlaod and install the drivers on your PC. The worst that can happen is, it won't connect.

You may have to uninstall the drivers now showing in Device Manager for your tablet before you install either drivers mentioned.

twrp

Thanks for the quick reply. I downgraded, unlocked and rooted fine. But when install twrp it could not install the recover successfully. I have tried all three methods and the install progress bar stuck at the beginning then reboot. Tried to boot into recover and gave me the red triangle. However, when I tried the fastboot method, it gave an error "invalid size". Thanks a lot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
What three methods did you try and what progress bar do you see where???

Did you try to install TWRP through GooManager?

The more specific you are, the better the answers you receive will be.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ju187:
install twrp on tf700t

Following to the twrp website, these are the three methods I used

1. install goomanage, install openrecoverscript. It download, install and reboot the tab. On the boot animation, the progress bar showed. Actually there are two bars overlapping each other. One shows 100% and the other probably 0. After a few seconds, it reboot to the asus room

2. use fastboot method. download the twrp from the team website, copied to the fastboo director, rename and run fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob. It reported invalid size

3. use a terminal emulator. copy the blob file to root on the tab and run

su

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

the command finished w/o error but the reboot shows the same issue as method 1.

Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Are you unlocked? None of these will work until you unlock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ju187:
install twrp on tf700t

Yes. it is unlocked. I have the issue resolved by downloading an early version of twrp and use fastboot to install. The early version has a smaller size. I guess the blob generated by 2.6 is not compatible with tf700t. Thanks

How do you downgrade?

So of course I share my tablet with my wife and she doesn't know any better. So needless to say she upgraded the firmware. How do I downgrade it back to 10.6.1.14.08? Without root of course since it no longer works.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Zapa93:
I downloaded the Universal Drivers and tried to follow the instructions on the thread, it says that I need to go into the device manager and uninstall the previous drivers, but when I do so the device disconnects from the computer. And if I try to update it right after I plug it in, it says it has the latest version of that driver(MTP USB Device.) Is the other option any easier? I seem to just run into walls after walls here.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I'm not sure I can follow you. Can you describe in detail which drivers under what entry in Device Manager you uninstall? And what steps you do to "update" which drivers?

That the tablet disconnects from your PC if you uninstall the drivers is to be expected - without drivers it cannot "see" it. Does Windows install drivers automatically when you connect the device? What Windows version?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Edbert:
[Any explanation of what I did wrong to get this error on step 1?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
- You didn't read the guide.

- You didn't post any details about your current ROM version, etc.

- You didn't explain what you did.

I can just guess - you tried the debugfs root method on a JB ROM?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Zapa93:
In the guide I'm following(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1996051) and I actually think I might have missed a part.

"Warning: Uninstall any previous driver package's you may have installed and also manually remove drivers by attaching your phone and going to Windows device manager and right click the entry for your phone and select "Uninstall" on the next prompt make sure to select "Delete the driver software for this device" then hit OK and reboot before installing these drivers"

How do I exactly download the drivers? I saw some videos where they basically right click on the tablet in the device manager, press update andto the map, doesn't work for me. I'm using Windows 7. Yeah, it installs in within a few seconds.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
After uninstalling the drivers, rebooting and connecting the tab after the reboot, doesn't Windows ask you if you want it to automatically search for drivers?

You would have to decline that, manually point it to the unzipped Naked Drivers folder and install them.

Again: You have to be more specific in your description of what you are doing.....

[Asus Transformer TF700] Zapa93:
I'm trying to root my tablet with motochopper, when I tried I ran into a problem that someone suggested was because of drivers and the file(motochopper) not recognizing my tablet. So now I'm trying to install it.

Your post made me realize how stupid I was, I googled on how to disable the automatic driver update on Windows so now I have time to update the drivers manually......only the problem is it still doesn't work. I uninstalled the drivers, did a reboot(with the tablet connected to the pc the whole time, not sure it causes any problems) and went into device manager, saw something named MTP(which I assume is the tablet) and pressed update drivers and linked the map the files are in, still nothing happens. It said something about the the drivers were not found in the map.

So here I am, once again for the billionth time, running into a wall. Tried to give up and use the stock ROM but I hear that cromi-x is lightyears better than it.

Any chance you know what the problem is? :fingers-crossed:

I downloaded the file that was attached to the post(Universal Naked Drivers 0.72)
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
You don't have to give up. You will be happy with Cromi X. A lot people on this website can help you out... :)

My window 7 recognizes my tf700t when I first plugged it in. If you can browse your tablet on your computer, then you don't need naked driver.

If you want to check, you can follow these steps:

1. Click on the Start Menu on your computer and Select Computer

2. Select System properties on the top of the menu panel

3. Select Device Manager on the left side of the Control Panel

4. Select the Arrow on the Portable Devices

5. You should see your device name if your computer recognizes it.

I hope that it helps... :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Zapa93:
I can see my tablet when I check the device manager, but when I try to run the motochopper file to root it, I seem to stuck on a part which someone said was because my pc didn't recognize my tablet. So if that's not the problem, then why can't I root my tablet?

Appreciate the help though :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Most likely you are on on firmware 10.6.1.14.10.

Motochopper does not work on this firmware anymore. You either have to:

Downgrade to .8 and root with Motochopper, or

Unlock the bootloader, push a custom recovery (TWRP) through fastboot and either root the stock rom with TWRP or - even better - flash a custom rom.

If you downgrade to .8 firmware you could protect root with Voodoo Rootkeeper and upgrade to .10 again through OTA update or using the dlpkgfile for .10, but I don't really see the point. There does not seem to be any real improvement in the last firmware update.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Someone reported that motochopper will pull the latest twrp from the source which is 2.6.3.0. The twrp 2.6.3.0 is oversize for our tf700t and will not work. The only option now is to use fastboot to flash twrp recovery.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Zapa93:
I have already gone through that part, was 10.6.1.14.10 before but downgraded it to .8, yet motochopper won't work.

I have, I used some tool from Asus' website. I got the message that my tablet is unlocked on the bootloader screen(what I think it's called). I'm running 10.6.1.14.8. I'm trying to get cromi-x ROM. So basically, my real problem is that I can't get motochopper to work, it stucks on a part where it says "daemon successfully started" or something similar, it never gets passed that part.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Can you copy files to/from your tablet from your computer?

Can you post screen shots from Device Manager to tell us where you think you see your tablet and are trying to install the drivers?

It's gotta be a driver issue. Or that you try to install them for the wrong device in Windows.

I wish I had my Win7 laptop with me.... since I don't, I'm flying in the dark here, can't follow you step by step.

There is another way.

You do not need to root to get a custom rom on your tablet.

You can use the fastboot method to push TWRP to your tablet. Trick is, you have to install the drivers for fastboot - and that seems to be a problem to begin with.....

Ok, this is purely from memory - so take it for what it's worth....

Go here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Click: 'Download for other platforms' and choose your Windows version

Install the Android SDK tool to the root of your C: drive on your PC and run it.

Select the Platform Tools and USB drivers and download them.

Boot the tablet into the bootloader holding Power and Volume Down buttons and connect your tablet via USB

Right click in the Android SDK folder and choose "Open command prompt here"

In the resulting window type: fastboot devices

You should see your tablets serial number

If that works, you're 80% there

Download the TWRP 2.6.1 blob and put that file into the same Android SDK folder and rename it to twrp.blob

Type: fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob

That should push twrp to your tablet and once that is done you can flash CROMI-X through TWRP (after making a nandroid of your stock rom through TWRP's 'Backup' function naturally)
