[Asus Transformer TF701] YayYouFixedIt:
Its not so simple I dont think. You might want to watch whats happening on this thread for now.

http://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf701/general/native-linux-asus-tf701t-t2973119

I would think you would have to completely replace the bootloader with something like uboot maybe if you wanted to wipe the tablet. But I dont think anyone knows. Then you could end up with some permanent brick. There would be no recovery or fastboot option if you were somehow able to get some kind of boot loader on this thing. I have no idea.

Edit: Also there is no arm based Linux Mint afiak.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sudoaptget:
Thanks I appreciate the reply. I understand this won't be easy but I'm stubborn that way :)

Can you give me some advice on where I can start learning how to place a native linux os on the device? Would grub bootloader work with tf701t?
[Asus Transformer TF701] tf701mega:
have you considered returning your tf701 and replacing it with the tf700 infinity? you can replace the OS with ubuntu.. theres much more support for that model than the tf701
[Asus Transformer TF701] royredman:
Out of curiosity, have you used the tf700t? it is good for development, but it could run pretty slow at times. It might of been because of the tegra 3 processor, because the tf300t also had this performance issue. I was barely able to type up documents on a CM Rom because the tablet would lag when typing out and would then force close and corrupt my document.

atleast for me, that was the reason why I went with this one rather than the tf700t. This is just my 2 cents about getting the tf700t. I would suggest trying it out before getting it.
[Asus Transformer TF701] lexelby:
Oh, I see there's already some decent progress in this thread. Also it looks like I totally missed the -c option in fastboot that lets you pass kernel command-line arguments... that'll definitely be a time-saver. Given what I see over in that thread, it looks like we may actually get a reasonable native linux on our TF701t. Not sure how far the OP has gotten on things like mouse/keyboard input, though.

I have to say, I'm pretty excited! It'd be super cool to be able to dual-boot native linux and android on this tablet. Best of both worlds.
[Asus Transformer TF701] sudoaptget:
Very stubborn :P

Sorry I didn't respond sooner as I was away with family for Christmas.

Thank you for the guide, it was extremely helpful. I am still working on getting the device ready so I'll update as I progress.

Thanks again

Since you've probably lost your custom recovery upgrading to 5.0.1, you can grab the TWRP images for Nexus 5 here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hammerhead

I believe you need to use 2.8.1.0 since 2.8.2.0 either doesn't work or is causing problems for many users.
[Nexus 5 General] wondertx:
CF-Auto-root is still OK. I just tried
[Nexus 5 General] Corbu:
Isn't CF-Auto root adding files from the 5.0 release over the 5.0.1 ? Isn't it safer to wait for a 5.0.1 autoroot?
[Nexus 5 General] Pastorelli's:
How did you update from a rooted (with CF-Auto Root) 5.0 to 5.0.1 you just received the OTA and installed it without any problems ?

I like to know because i am on 5.0 stock just rooted with CF_Auto root.
[Nexus 5 General] MrKaon:
So no more need for CF-Auto?

Just flashing SuperSU zip with TWRP is enough?
[Nexus 5 General] pushkardua:
I flashed a Custom Rom Using TWRP which doesn't have any root permission...
[Nexus 5 General] pushkardua:
Yes... Just Flashing with TWRP Is Enough! :)
[Nexus 5 General] Ubichinon:
Guys, i installed the 5.0.1 update by fastboot flashing system, boot and radio. I lost my custom recovery tho (CWR). I now tried to install TWRP, but after flashing the recovery image, the recovery still hasnt changed. Could i just flash CRW or should i use TWRP for this version?
[Nexus 5 General] pushkardua:
have you tried wugfresh's nexus toolkit to flash TWRP recovery???

maybe that works........ waiting for ur response... let me know..
[Nexus 5 General] class101:
This. I flash with it here since 4.4.4 and it did everything just fine. Not only it is an app to automatically root, but it gives very good hints, and provides lots of others features like installing Apks, getting a adb prompt, and so much more. Greatest third party Android app I have tried. Highly recommended, didn't even had to wait they update it for 5.0.1, as soon I got the 5.0.1 OTA notification, Nexus Root Toolkit was already ready for it.
[Nexus 5 General] MrKaon:
This is lollipop security, custom recover wouldn't stick, after each reboot it will replaced with stock one, of course there is a way to make it sticky just search the forum.
[Nexus 5 General] Molitro:
That's always been enough. You can use Cf's auto root if you don't want to use a custom recovery.
[Nexus 5 General] MrKaon:
I had similar discussion with Chainfire:
[Nexus 5 General] Scientist07:
You have to reflash the stock boot.img as well as the default system.img

I followed this guide more or less: forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-5/473161-5-0-1-ota-error-cf-autoroot-my-solution.html

Except I didn't sideload....I reflashed stock recovery, stock boot, then stock system in that order. I then installed the OTA on my phone
[Nexus 5 General] Scientist07:
TWRP problem

So I updated to 5.0.1 from 5.0 by first reflashing the stock boot and system img files then installing the OTA on my phone and it worked like a charm. When to go to flash twrp 2.8.1.0 it flashes then immediately after i try to install zip....I enter recovery mode and twrp asks for password....I hit cancel then go to the install option but no files show up and i mean NONE at all. It just gives me the option to select directories and no zip files are found (i put the supersu zip file on by phone btw). So I restart my phone and try again but twrp disappears and stock recovery is back.

Any help with this problem???
[Nexus 5 General] pushkardua:
which method did you use to flash TWRP custom recovery??
[Nexus 5 General] Scientist07:
fastboot method

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I renamed the the twrp 2.8.1.0 file to recovery
[Nexus 5 General] pushkardua:
I am searching for solution to your answer!!

i flashed custom recovery by Wugfresh's method!!

they also give you file something like permanentrecovry.zip which you need to flash when you first boot into twrp!!

Try that and let me know!!

Sorry i m at the point at which i cannot restock my phone !!

or i manually could have done that!! maybe i you could wait i could help you in a week :)
[Nexus 5 General] Scientist07:
Yea I'm about to try wugfresh nexus root toolkit to do it but the last time I tried that was when I had just updated to android 5.0 and even then it had failed so I have doubts it would work but still I will try.

*EDIT*

So I tried the toolkit and nothing happened. Here is the log

At the last point of the log on my phone after it boots twrp temporarily, it asks for password. I enter my phone password which is a 4 digit number but it fails so I click cancel and then nothing happens so I turn off my phone which is what happened last time i used the toolkit try to install twrp after updating to android 5.0
[Nexus 5 General] pushkardua:
Well i never heard for twrp asking for password...

Okay why don't you try this same method after removing the password.

It's just a wild guess i have no references
[Nexus 5 General] pushkardua:
I got you a solution bro...use twrp 6.0.4.5

You have the worst case.. As some guy in other thread..

Reply and let me know if i helped!
[Nexus 5 General] Scientist07:
You can't turn off encryption after its enabled on a nexus 5.

I assume you mean 2.0.6.4.5 but I can't find that version anywhere. Can you post a link you used to get it? Can you also post a link to that thread as well?
[Nexus 5 General] pushkardua:
Sorry i meant cwm 6.0.4.5
[Nexus 5 General] houseofkrazeesstl:
I used that all-in-one program that was created awhile ago. I had to re-root and etc but it did it all for me
[Nexus 5 General] altecck:
So I am having a very similar problem to you.

#1) Anytime I enter recovery mode TWRP asks for a password, I hit cancel and I am at the menu. I hit install but NO files show up just like you said. All the directories are there, but NONE. Just like you. And I know I just put the updated SuperSU2.40 zip on my phone. I check in ES File Explorer on my phone and it's there and when I plug it via USB, but in recovery mode NOTHING. That stupid password. Would it have anything to do with encrypting the phone? Because I recently encrypted my phone like 2 weeks ago and ever since then is when I have been having problems with my Super SU and etc. My root checker dosen't even say I have verified root. It keeps asking me to update the Super SU binary and I can't. I am also still on Android Lollipop 5.0. It's asking me to update to 5.0.1 and when I do that and update, it installs and reboots into recovery mode.. TWRP with the password. I hit cancel and back to install with NOTHING NO FILES. What the hell is going on here? I am so frustrated I am about to do a full factory reset, upgrade Lollipop and root again from scratch but I am afraid the same thing will happen. I would like to resolve this without resetting my phone. I can't even un-install my root. Anyone??
[Nexus 5 General] Scientist07:
I had encrypted my nexus 5 as soon as I got it and since then i had to enter the password upon starting the phone then enter it again to get pass screen lock.

When I rooted android 5.0 I used cf auto root http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/

I tried putting on twrp but no luck because of it asking for password so I put back stock.

I installed supersu after but I had stock recovery for this to work.. Reflash the stock recovery image and see if you can update the supersu.

In order to install 5.0.1 you must have stock recovery img and stock system img for 5.0 on your phone. Rooting with cf auto root modifies certain things according to chainfire so you have to have stock before you install the OTA.

As of now I still have the twrp problem so I cant root my 5.0.1. Someone replied to me and said to use CWM recovery but I have no experience with that so Im still skeptical about it but i will try it and see
[Nexus 5 General] altecck:
So you are saying I can't install 5.0.1 with a rooted 5.0? I can't even flash my SuperSU binary because I have the TWRP problem anyway! My phone is encrypted! They said TWRP 2.8.3 takes care of it and I am running TWRP 2.6. But I don't know how to update TWRP. If 2.8 does work with phone encryption then all I have to do is update my TWRP and then I can flash SuperSU binary and fix my root problem. Right now my root is all ****ed up. Encrypting my phone screwed everything up. I am just thinking about factory resetting my phone and starting from scratch. I wouldn't know if I did factory reset my phone if I would have to unlock the bootloader again though, would I? How would that work? Ugh.
[Nexus 5 General] Scientist07:
You can still install 5.0.1 unto your device. You should first put back on stock everything (meaning recovery.img, boot.img and system.img) if you had changed them. In your case since you changed the recovery you have to put back on stock or else OTA updates will fail. I don't know what method you used to root your phone but the one I used (cf autoroot) used a modified boot.img so I had to put back on stock as well as stock system.img.

I am assuming if you restart fro factory settings you would have to unlock bootloader again.

I will try twrp 2.8.3 and see if that fixes y problem and if not I might give CWM a try

*EDIT*

So I finally got back root on my nexus 5 running 5.0.1. It seems that the latest twrp (version 2.8.3.0) solves the password issue and I can now see my files again. VICTORY!!!
[Nexus 5 General] pushkardua:
Great job done my friend!!
[Nexus 5 General] pushkardua:
If you think you are all messed up.. Just flash the latest factory image with fastboot adb commands..

Note it will wipe all the data if you flash userdata.img (don't remember correct name)

Once you have stock 5.0.1 .. You need to download latest root file(updated-supersu 2.40)

And latest twrp which is 2.8.3

Not you need to flash twrp the same way you.. With fastboot...

Just renamed twrp to recovery.img and place it to into c:\

Now open cmd and press type

cd c:\

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

And you will have latesr twrp on your phone...

Once you have latest twrp installed...

Just flash the root file with recovery...

Leave a reply for any questions.. ;)
[Nexus 5 General] altecck:
OK. Cool! So How can I update my TWRP? That is the only thing I don't really know what to do, as I said, I have only been on Android 3 months and when I rooted my phone I followed a YouTube guide. I did my reading and all, but I did it all in one process.. unlocking the bootloader, flashing TWRP, installing SuperSU. But as I said I encrypted my phone AFTER I rooted so now TWRP is giving me the problems. I just need to update to 2.8.3.0. How do I do that?
[Nexus 5 General] flyboy002:
looking for this, will try
[Nexus 5 General] Scientist07:
Download the twrp 2.8.3.0 img file from the website and flash it just like you did your previous version.

I used minimal adb and fastboot instead of downloading the entire android sdk. That way any files i need flashed to my nexus I just put them in the same directory as the minimal adb and fastboot prgogram (C\ProgramFiles(x86) or something like that) and then i flash them .
[Nexus 5 General] altecck:
Just an update: I did update my TWRP using adb and fastboot (which is how I originally did it following a YouTube video). The new TWRP works with Lollipop encryption on a Nexus 5. I was able to see my files in recovery mode again and able to update my SuperSU through install. Everything worked perfectly and smoothly. Phone has root access again.

Only thing now is the 5.0 -> 5.0.1 update. I try it OTA and it installs, reboots into recovery mode and that's it. I read a bit about it and I am getting conflicting reports about needing stock not rooted to OTA to 5.0.1, etc. I will have to dive into it a bit more deeper once I have some more extra time. I am thinking of maybe going to Cyanogen anyway. Not sure yet. But the TWRP and SU updates were all I needed to fix my problem. :o
[Nexus 5 General] Scientist07:
I installed 5.0->5.0.1 just fine. I had stock recovery installed when I did it and y phone was rooted. You need to have stock recovery or OTA updates will fail.
[Nexus 5 General] Sisqo:
any way to root without unlocking the bootloader?

I have a problem rooting my Nexus 7 (2013).

Whenever I enter TWRP, it doesn't want to mount my encrypted /data folder.

It says: "Could not mount /data and unable to find crypto footer."

I've tried the following TWRP version, none of them can mount /data:

openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-flo.img

openrecovery-twrp-2.8.2.0-flo.img

openrecovery-twrp-2.8.3.0-flo.img

openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-flo.img

Could it be that the pin-lock password must me the same as the password used to let TWRP decrypt /data? I changed the device encryption password using the 'Cryptfs Password' tool, so it differs from the device lockscreen PIN.

Can anybody help me out? I'd love to get root back on my Nexus 7 and Nexus 5.

You flash a kernel that doesn't force encryption and then format data.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
It has nothing to do with the kernel.

It is about the partition mounting parameters in the fstab, which is in the boot partition, which just happens to be the same partition where you will find a kernel.

You do not need to change the kernel to remove encryption. Just run the script that modifies the fstab.

So I'm pretty desperate and I apologize if similar info was posted somewhere else. I've been researching several hours but couldn't find anything.

I originally installed CM11 and decided to experiment with a different rom TriForce ROM [TouchWiz]. I put the zip file on my SD card and booted into clockworkmod it gave an error of bad zip. I tried different usb port to transfer the zip, downloaded it multiple times with no result. So I decided to try a different rom Stock_Rooted_Deodexed_MF9_Rom.zip. The installation finished but the phone would not boot.

Recently I flashed the stock rom from odin, it finished successfully but still not boot, Galaxy sreen lights up quickly and that's it.

Restore from nandroid backup. I hope you made one. Try going into recovery do a factory reset and wipe all cache and data and what not and then install a ROM from Odin.
