My transformer have this numnber:

JOP4OD.TW_epad-10.6.2.12-20140103

Can i folllow this guide ?
[Transformer TF300T General] lj50036:
I would have to say no..

That does not look like a TF300T booloader version I have ever seens...

Thx Josh
[Transformer TF300T General] bichpm:
Everything worked like a charm.

I've made a factory reset before using the ASUS unlock tool V8 that worked fine.

Thank you
[Transformer TF300T General] broderp:
A few questions please:

I've installed TWRP as instructed and everything is fine. :good: I also rooted while I was messing within the custom recovery environment. (on accident - don't ask :confused: )

I have not installed a custom ROM yet, can I still do a factory reset and go back to the original way my Tablet came and backup a OEM partition? (or is an OEM partition available for download?) I rushed and did this with a very app laden/ customized tablet, I'd like to keep an OEM version.

I see several Custom ROMS stating that I need to use "KANG recovery" - why can't I use what I have installed from this process? KANG is based on TWRP's work, just a slightly newer version. :confused:

Thanks for any help
[Transformer TF300T General] berndblb:
NO!

Once a custom recovery is installed, never do a factory reset from Settings or the bootloader interface (Wipe Data). That can seriously brick the tablet.

Use your recovery for wiping, formatting etc. TWRP does have a "factory wipe" function, you can use that for the most commonly required clean install of a room.

To keep a copy of your current rom just go into TWRP and run a nandroid from the Backup menu.

You can also flash the Asus firmware in TWRP to return to stock. Download a copy for safekeeping, who knows how much longer it will be available on Asus website.

Versions, versions.... So important to always state it.

Some versions of TWRP were a little buggy, hence the recommendation for a Kang version but that could easily be outdated by now.

The Kang also has support for flashing from the dock SD which none of the official ones does.

But you can keep what you got, providing its the correct version for the rom you will flash....

QUOTE: FROM OP FIRST POST:

"Once you installed a custom recovery NEVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES - AND I REPEAT: NEVER! - use the 'Wipe Data' option from the bootloader menu or the "Factory Reset" option in Settings > Backup&Restore."

Why?

I'm looking at KATKISS 6.0 or 7.0 and their instructions state this:

QUOTE:

"The first time or everytime you have an issue when dirty flashing (Especially when changing android versions):

do a full wipe , if you have issues make sure that you format /data (format is different than wipe)

Is there a difference between Wipe Data and Full Wipe or Format Data?

Why can't we do a Backup and Restore from within the OS?

Sorry for the noob question, trying to learn all this stuff...:confused:
[Transformer TF300T General] broderp:
Ah..I see the difference now. Any Wipes or Factory resets should be done within the recovery (TWRP) environment, and not the OS or while on the bootloader screen. :good: NOt sure why it would brick it, but I will take your word for it. I'll read up on it.

I did this, but just messing with TWRP I couldn't find a way to restore the backup as a test. I found the folder and recognized the file name, but found no exectutable zip/.img /blob file. I did however download the OEM zip file from the Asus website, thanks for the tip! I can go back to the OEM 4.2.1 f needed! :good:

I got the KANG version of TWRP installed. (after a small scare and some trial and error) so I *believe* I can update or flash a newer version of TWRP is needed (I have the procedure pretty much down now) :good:

Thanks for the help. I'm waiting for some answers on how to install KATKISS 6.0 I posted in the appropriate thread. My Note 7 (yes I still have mine) is in 6.0.1 so hopefully the interface will be somewhat familiar.
[Transformer TF300T General] berndblb:
Read this: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...my-transformer-tf700-boots-only-recovery.html

TWRP uses it's own file format for the nandroid. You just use Restore > then navigate to the backup folder if necessary. Ususally TWRP opens the default location anyway

Here's a quick rundown in flashing lingo:

Clean install = wiping /cache, /dalvik and /data before flashing a rom. This wipes all user installed apps and settings but does not touch the /data/media folder where your personal files like pictures, music etc live

Full Wipe = clean install

Factory Wipe in TWRP = default action under the Wipe menu which executes the wipes needed for a clean install or full wipe

Dirty Flash = flashing a rom update without doing any wipes. Only recommended for minor updates

Format Data = a full format of the data partition (including /data/media) in TWRP. This process takes an hour+ and returns the data partition to ext4 files system. If you want to flash KatKiss you should change the file system to f2fs
[Transformer TF300T General] broderp:
Thanks, this worked for me. I'm now rooted running Katie's 6.0.1! This thread and instructions helped so much,
[Transformer TF300T General] Jack_Hardin:
Hello! Thanks for the guide, I'would've been lost without it!

First of all, I hope what I'm going to write isn't wrong. Sorry in advance if I did, this isn't my usual area of interest. If notified, I will edit/delete this comment ASAP

Just wanted to point two things out, maybe someone will find them helpful. They are probably quite insignificant to the majority of people around here, but since this is a Beginner's Guide, I said "why not?"

If you're running W10, you can

disable Device Driver Signing

without following the procedure in the linked video, but by (more simply) right-clicking on the Start button, selecting Command Prompt (Admin) and then typing

Doing the same with OFF at the end of the string, as easy to guess as it looks, will reenable them.

Also, I've noticed that, among the many available ROMs in the Dev section, KatKiss' ones are some of the hottest and most updated. As it's clearly stated, they require KANG TWRP, whose latest version comes in .img format instead of .blob (I saw another thread about these two formats, but it was a nono after the very first lines, sorry :eek: ). I just wanted to point out to the Absolute beginners (such as myself, after all) looking for one of those ROMs, that I downloaded 2.8.7.2@AREA51 and followed the steps of this guide, everything went well (Of course, when installing the custom recovery, the required code is "fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.img")
[Transformer TF300T General] berndblb:
Very neat trick! Love it and will add it to the OP.

You are completely right about the twrp blob/img thing. I just ported this guide from the TF700 forum and often forget to keep this one updated too.

Thanks for the reminder and I'm glad this helped you.

I'm totally amazed that these guides are still useful to people! Good going guys, do not bow to the planned obsolescence of the tech industry! :p:p
[Transformer TF300T General] Jack_Hardin:
Glad I could help! I've been using the tablet since its release in 2012. This guide was a life saver, since I finally decided to update it and make it usable again (the latest official JB build was SO bad)! Thanks again :good: :good:
[Transformer TF300T General] berndblb:
Can you name a OEM who still supports a 5 year old device???

But there is no reason you could not run Marshmallow or Nougat on this tablet after investing a few hours of research ;)

Asus redesigned their website and hid the firmware for older devices really well. try this: https://www.asus.com/support/Download/28/1/0/9/8BmzkQ4yoz5WzBrW/32/

Good luck installing Linux. Have yet to see someone doing it successfully. And they have tried, believe me....

Unlocking Bootloader

Hi - TF300T that I can't get the bootloader unlocked on.

I've unlocked two tf201t's in the past with no issues.

I contacted ASUS to make sure the serial #/mac address are correct in their database, they tell me everything is correct on their end and that they can't help any further than that.

I've tried versions v7 and v8 of the unlocker on bootloader 10.6.1.27.5.

I've tried while having a google account activated and also without having a google account.

I've reflashed stock rom before trying each of the different possibilities above.

I only get the same error time and again

"an unknown error occurs, which may be a network connection issue.

please wait and try again later"

I have tried unlocking now for more than 3 weeks, so I think "wait and try again later" is not going to solve my issue.

Has anyone recently had success in unlocking the bootloader?

Thanks,

gl500des
[Transformer TF300T General] berndblb:
You have tried everything I can think of... You reflashed stock and did not even enter a Google account, right?

Left may be: keep trying at different times if day and hope you can connect to their servers...
[Transformer TF300T General] gl500des:
Correct I have tried without entering any Google account details.

If anyone has any ideas?

Has anyone successfully unlocked their tf300t bootloader recently?

Thanks,

Des
[Transformer TF300T General] gl500des:
Months later still no luck.

Does the bootloader have to be unlocked to flash a custom rom or is there another way?

Thanks,

gl500des
[Transformer TF300T General] berndblb:
There is no other way

I have a TF300T (WW_epad-10_6_1_27_5), I have installed: TWRP 3.2.1. For this I used "adb-fastboot-win.exe". Then I instaled via Ext SDCard: KatKiss-6.0_034, BETA-SuperSU-v2.52 and open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20180602. Everything so good.

* Next Android startup but will hang (showing only the logo). Now I try reinstalling boot loader. About EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip in EXTSDCARD did not work. Sample from PC (WIN 10 Pro): via "adb devices" comes message: 015d2 ....... recovery. "Fastboot devices" -no echo and no error. fastboot -i 0x0b05 Flash Boot Blob starts with message "waiting for device". And nothing happens anymore. Now I'm at the end. I am very grateful for any help.
[Transformer TF300T General] berndblb:
Slow down buddy! You should not flash willy-nilly for no reason!

What's your current bootloader?

I'm really busy today, try to check back later. But stop! Don't do anything else!
[Transformer TF300T General] mpkos1:
I see: Android cardhu-user bootloader (1.00 e) Released by WW_epad-10.6.1.27.5-20130902 A03

[Transformer TF300T General] berndblb:
Your bootloader is fine. no reason - yet - to flash stock firmware again.

Get your fastboot connection fixed, you flashed TWRP in fastboot right? So it worked before, no reason it should not work again. Most likely a driver problem if you use a Win PC. Sometimes just rebooting or using a different USB port fixes it.

Your problem probably is that you flashed the wrong rom. Katkiss 6.0 for the TF300 never went beyond version 29: TF300T Latest Rom Version: KatKiss-6.0_TF300T_029.zip

Where did you get version 34?? From a different device forum? No idea.

Trash all the files you have used, download again from the appropriate source. If you want 6.0: https://xdaforums.com/transformer-tf300t/development/rom-t3237867

[Android Stick & Console Computers General] Jspex:
So I just got uverse and decided to try to install it on my mk808b. Att has it set that the app won't stream when it detects an external display set up. The only way to use a stick is with external display lol.

So is there a work around? Modded apk or xposed module? I've been googleing but haven't found anything.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] Jspex:
Anyone want to help me mod the app? I've got it decompiled and believe I've found the correct file but my limited knowledge of coding makes me hesitant to move much further past this point.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Im Saint:
ROOT IS HERE! Go get it! Tutorial is here. Post is here.

I noticed there a lot of people around here waiting fervently for the release of root--checking and rechecking the forums over and over. Fear not! For I have come up with the solution for you all!

[IMG="Turbo Root Updater"]https://lh3.ggpht.com/d-4-Hl7igu5M1NVc0Ecbd_eSFl_QVlDCmpOGKuYPkr66iDcO_1a-qtur2A4QlpyGcSM=h300-rw[/IMG]

Turbo Root Update

[IMG="Get it on Google Play!"]https://developer.android.com/images/brand/en_generic_rgb_wo_60.png[/IMG]​

Are you stuck at work and want to know if we have root? Are you away from a computer? Did you just get in a car wreck and are laying there, taking your final breath, with only your phone in your hand, wondering, "Do we have root?" Then this is the app for you.

I was messing around with Google's new Material Design standards I decided to throw this together. It'll be updated the moment a root method is discovered.

Another note: this will only work only Droid Turbos.. I can add other models to the list upon request, however, I didn't make the app responsive, so it only looks right on 2560x1440 screens.

Enjoy.

EDIT: This will now work on ALL devices!

EDIT_2: I realized just now that I chose the same material design color as SuperSU and did the same icon design completely by accident. No correlation there, just sheer happenstance.

FINAL EDIT: A root method has been discovered and will be release shortly. The latest update of the app will point you to the root video so you can root whenever ad wherever. Thank you all for downloading!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Harry44:
Neat little app haha. Hopefully we wont need it for long! ;)

However I must say this is in the wrong section of the forum, the more appropriate location would be -> http://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/themes-apps
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Slartibartfast_:
Does it push a notification when the device gets rooted? Or will it just replace my xda refreshes with opening the app every 5 minutes?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Im Saint:
I agree. I would have put it there, but no one will see it cause they are checking here for root. Thus the post in general.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Harry44:
Push notifications would be an awesome thing to have!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Im Saint:
I can add an update for it. I don't have a subscription to any push services currently so I'd to re-up for that.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jaocagomez:
I'll call it, the are-we-there-yet? App
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] r3pwn:
Why not make it so others can keep tabs on it, too? I have an LG G3 and would like to know when the Turbo gets root. :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
More like "Are we rooted yet?" Makes more sense :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Im Saint:
I was limiting it because I didn't want a bunch of phones with 1920x1080 resolution wondering what the deal was cause I didn't make it responsive, but I think I will just update it. You convinced me. ;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] RyanTillery:
Man, this is great... Genius. I check these threads lately about once or twice an hour, just waiting on good news. When I open a new tab, Chrome goes, "Oh, lemme guess... XDA Turbo General?" This is a time saver. Thank you, sir.

Sad your effort cannot be easily installed on older moto's. We would not care about a skewed image of an unlock graphic!! Would not the ultra/Maxx be an easy one?

But what do I know about generating apk's.

Great idea anyway!!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
Awesome idea! Thanks much! :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Im Saint:
At the office now, but when I get off tonight, I will be opening it to other devices.

The graphics won't be skewed, but rather they will be blown up. I will probably write in a line to scale the graphics accordingly on smaller res phones when I update it this evening. :good:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
Kinda curious why you chose Lua and Corona.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Im Saint:
Kinda curious why you are decompiling my apk. ;)

Been bouncing around trying some different things. Noted that the Corona SDK used lua-- a language I had previously used in the form of eLua to program microcontrollers. However, 80% of the code draws off of Corona's predefined functions which makes it feel like a "copy and paste fest". I also remember reading that a lot of WoW addons were coded in lua (easily embed-able) which spiked my curiousity. I'll have to say though, it is incredibly simple to use.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
I decompiled it because I was curious.

Doesn't everyone do that? :D

Check out NativeScript when you get a chance.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
Actually I've noticed a few online games now have used lua in encrypted game files (to prevent hackings and game mods, but lets face it someone is going to crack it at some point) not just add-ons.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Slartibartfast_:
Just wondering, how does it work? Do you just monitor XDA for "root" threads?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Im Saint:
Ok, wow. How have I not seen this before? Have you used it?

I was aware of some others, but I didn't realize it was that popular.

Yeah, there is no automated update. My job allows me to keep a watchful eye 85% of the time so I can monitor the release as soon as it hits.

UPDATE: I added support for all devices PLOT TWIST: It fits perfectly on a 1920x1080 screen. Just as it would if there was no turbo picture.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] adrynalyne:
Ive used it briefly. Its not officially out until May. I sat through the webinar though and I am pretty impressed with what I saw. We are Telerik partners so I was investigating it for work. Cordova is what I typically use now and the performance hit is too much. NativeScript is native performance.

You can play with it now via Telerik Platform.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
Yea even with soon to be released games it's become pretty popular thru a lot of games from different genres. I suppose since it's easy to code and they can use it just about anyway the want and for almost any purpose to make the game actually work. I can't say for sure that's the reason but that is my guess.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Im Saint:
I am going to do that for sure. Thanks for the heads up. I tried Titanium from Appcelerator for a little while. While their Alloy MVC framework was pretty good, I wasn't blown away by it. The native performance through NativScript is what grabbed me. I'm really kind of shocked that I haven't heard more about it. I'll definitely keep up with it. :good:
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] AndyMan386:
what does pressing the update do besides change the time.. How about a yes or no, root or no root... best yet, a notification when root is posted and obtainable...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
Mine says "No root" at the top of the phone when I check
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] AndyMan386:
wow very weird.. I see that now, but last night when I downloaded it, I swear I do not recall that...

A widget with customizable refresh times would be nice if you feel up to that as well!

Thanks for the app! Hopefully it goes away soon (root obtained! :) )
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Im Saint:
I noticed that if it there was a change in network or a temporary lapse in internet connection, the image wouldn't show. It's remotely dependent.

Glad you like it!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Im Saint:
Just to update--I will update the app when a video is posted because technically we still can't claim root.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Harry44:
Its a very nicely designed app. Too bad its lifespan is going to be short. I wonder if you can pivot the point of it to do something else when we have root.

Shame to let it go to waste.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] GreaterLesser:
It can be used for BL unlock lol
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Im Saint:
Well, I saw a target audience and delivered for it. If something else comes up, I can alter the app, but I don't know if there is anything people will want. Feel free to suggest!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Harry44:
Just as GreaterLesser said BL unlock checker!

Shoot I'd adopt the code for other devices too.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] meanmug:
ROOTED, the app says!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Im Saint:
Releasing an update now that let's me link to the newest root method page/video provided.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
So when its ready the app will link us to the video?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Im Saint:
Yep. I already loaded the APK so whenever Google clears the update, then you'll have it.

Obviously, the app already boasts the root. :)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] X_man.:
Cool! Thanks. I clicked the thanks button but I've used up all my thanks for today lol
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] m4rk0358:
Is it just me or was the change in status within the app premature? We technically still cannot root our device yet.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] evastonian:
Maybe a little. But i think there's a lot more than just the app that are a little premature.... So I'll accept it. Giggity
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Im Saint:
Yes and no. Due to the swift development of the app, I didn't plan out the wording so there are two ways to interpret what the app is truly doing. It could be alerting the discovery of a root method which has been speculation until the recent proceedings from RJ. Or it could also be alerting at the ability to root one's phone now.

I chose to update the app earlier today so that users will start filtering towards the proper areas necessary to keep themselves up to date.

Do you have another suggestion? As far as I'm concerned, the app has just about run it's course and I'm open to any ideas.
