Hello there,
This is my very first post, having just purchased a G Tablet yesterday. I don't have a problem with modding the tablet. i just want to make sure that I follow the proper steps. sorry if this is already posted somewhere. There is just SO much info here, it's hard for my small brain to wrap around it.
1) Install clockwork recovery
2) Install uodate.zip(?) for Tnt
30 instructions for installing the above.
Is that it?
What would i need to revert to "stock" in case I muck it up?
I am excited to do this tomorrow, so any guidance will be greatly appreciated. I am in awe of the talented people here.
Thanks in advance.

google 'g tablet rags'

this way an idiot like me could do it!!
none of the " zip file 2.3 then encrypt 3.4 and backflash 5.3 to a sd micros next install .509 giggly zip to kernel text into a gigabyte flash drive root file"

That is the order. The first page of the stickied threads are usually all the instruction you need. They are the ones with the thumb tack symbol. Once you do it once and realize the ease you will off and running
Thank you all for your input. I appreciate it.
I was all ready to dive into it this morning, when something told me to make sure everything works first (I just bought it Thursday).
Well, it appears the USB port DOES NOT WORK. I plugged in a USB Flash, a USB card reader - no worky. I called tech support and they said reformat the USB flash to FAT32, boot with it plugged in. Still no work.
So I have a bad unit. So back to Office Depot it goes. DARN.
Bad luck!

I seem to have temporarily bricked my gtab. When attempting to nvflash restore all goes well until I unzip the .bat file that is needed. When unzipped it seems to change the format of the file and it won't run. I've done a search on this and have heard of other people having this problem so I know it is solvable, but I just can't seem to get it to work.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
deadeye,
Roebeet's original 5.0.0 thread in Developer Forum has a bunch of info as well as several links to posts others of us have put together about dealing with this problem.
There also is another post near the top of Developer I put together on the USB .zip files needed and where to get them.
And I know I have written a bunch of help messages with detailed info to other
folks with your problem.
Check these out and let us know if you have questions. I'm sure it can be brought back, but may take some research and learning.
Rev
got it
Thanks for your response!!!
Here is a list of Frequently Asked Questions for all you people coming here with questions like OMG HAO DO AI REWT MI TAB or MI ABD NUT WERKAN PLZ HALP, and the ever popular CN I RUT 0423 WIT DIS?
Lucky I have compiled the most popular questions and listed them here, with full explenation and solution.
Enjoy!
1. HAO DO I REWT MI TAB? I DUNNO WHER 2 FIND DIS THENKS.
Rooting your Transformer can indeed be done with the link here, however you will need some stuff beforehand like adb to get your Transformer rooted and ready to use that method. So for you guys who do not feel comfortable with that, do this.
2. WUT IS ABD PLZ HALP I DUNNO HOW 2 USE OMG SO CONFUZD
To get adb up and running, you simply have to follow the guide here. Oh, and you need the Asus PC Sync software from here. Simply select your PC operating system, download and install the Asus PC sync software.
Alternatively you can use the guide made by a kind xda member (screenshots included) here.
3. CN I R00T MY 0423 BUILD I WANN HAS ROMS?
Yes, indeed you can with the guides linked above.
4. OMG I HAS US/TW/UK/MOON TF101 CN I FLASH WW ROMS?!
After rooting and installing CWM you can flash any ROM you like, the regions only matter for stock updates at this time. So go ahead and flash any ROM you like.
5. WUT IS CIFS.KO && TUN.KO?!
If you don't know what it is, don't worry about it, it means you probably don't need it. But in the offchance you do need tun.ko for VPN, here is a link to installing openVPN.
6. I ROOTD AND MI CAMERA ++ BT NO WERKAN, WAT I DO?
Simply flash the BLOB_V5 file available in the root guide, use the same steps you used to flash (so not all the steps) BLOB_V4, just replace the CWM_BLOB_V4 parts with CWM_BLOB_V5 and that should fix your issues.
7. OMG MI SD CARD NO WERK FOR FLASHAN ROMS WHAT DO?!
Try and use fix permissions from CWM, or try a couple of times. Another fix for the sd card issue you can try, is to put the non working sd card into an android phone then go to storage on the phone and erase the sd card. reinserting that card into the transformer will then allow it to mount to CWM.
if it still doesn't work your card is probably hated by CWM (some are, for what reason we don't know) and you'll need to use a different SD card.
8. HAO 2 OVERCLOCK, MOAR CLOCK
You can overclock if you have root and CWM already. Simply go here and flash this kernel through CWM.
9. CN I FLASH BLOBZ THRU CWM
There is currently 1 way to flash the blob through a zip update if you are not on the 0325 build. This is by flashing the latest Modaco ROM which has the BLOB included.
10. CN I UNREWT MI TAB? I HAS NO WORRANTIES ANYMOAR
Yes. Simply flash the blob from the Asus website using the same steps you used to flash the CWM blob. here is also a guide.
11. I UPDAETED TO 3.1 NOW REWT NO WERK, WAT DO?
Download the 8.2.2.9 update from Asus and copy it to your internal memory to downgrade or do this.
12. MI TAB IS A BRIK, IT NO DO ANYTHING OMG HALP D: <- sadface
You can use this method to try and unbrick it, if that doesn't work, you're pretty much screwed.
13. WAT MI BATTERI IS DRAINING WTF SHUD I DO?
Well you see we made a shocking discovery today, electronics use electricity while turned on! I know! We were just as surprised as you are!
OMG CANNOT FIND MI INFO WTF IS FORUM SERCH?
For all of you slightly special people out there, here is a list of other threads that might help you find what you need. These have been cherrypicked by moi, feel free to post important additions.
[INFO] The Ultimate Transformer Information Thread - Pretty much what the title states, it has links to just about anything.
[INFO] Firmware Update (FOTA) Changelog - A changelog for all the officials updates released by Asus.
[INFO] List of Compatible Apps/games/etc - List of working apps, and which are Honeycomb (android 3.0+) optimized.
Thank you.

While I think a FAQ is an excellent idea, your implemantation is a little uncalled for, not to mention annoying.

How so? It has all the frequently asked questions explained in a proper and clear manner. Or maybe I just have a different sense of humor.
Nice FAQ! And i like your sense of humor
Haha rewt...
You should spell Rom rawm

Find myself agreeing with msw1382 I'm afraid. Takes too long to read. Almost need some sort of leetspeak translator to get what you're saying. Guess I'm too old.
I believe the op is a little tired of people asking the same questions over and over. I thought it was kinda funny...

Haha I love it, that has to be the funniest first post I've read on these forums. Anyone who has ever spent any length of time helping out newcomers must surely be able to relate to this. Its horses for coarses tbh but your sense of humour is right up my street.
Also informative at the same time.

I edited it a little to improve readability while trying to keep the original charm, hope it helps.
seshmaru, a fix for the sd card issue, #7 is to put the non working sd card into an android phone then go to storage on the phone and erase the sd card. reinserting that card into the transformer will then allow it to mount to CWM.
just thought you could add that into your list. its been verified by myself and then a couple others tried it also.
i find it hilarious how you worded the headings haha.

Added your fix and credited you in the OP.
I have to agree with some of the previous posters, that this is not easy to read, and the humour is old and nothing special (and repetitive for that matter - one witty question in that style would have gotten the same 'humorous' point across while still keeping the FAQ useful). This way people will probably hardly use it, and certainly not refer to it. That's a shame...

Lol, I think its fine. It's only the headings, not like he/she typed up the actual useful information that way, its still very readable and VERY useful for anyone needing the info.
Sorry, I have to state I find the post annoying as hell. It take four times as long to attempt to read and looks worse than my 7yr old's text messages. But, for any who are so desperate for help that they make it through child speak...
Hopefully, it helps them out.
It's only the headers that are slightly more difficult to read, the actual content is written in perfectly comprehensible english. Besides by having to decipher it, atleast they'd be doing SOMETHING for the info instead of gettng it simply handed to them.

Then your 7 year old has better spelling skills than around 80% of teens these days.
Updated and tweaked.
ROFLMAO! Many thnks for such an AMUSING and informative guide...truly! My TF will be here Friday so I am prepping for sum fun!
You need to add unroot to your FAQ.

I'll add the basic steps to the FAQ, although I can't link to a full guide since no one has made one yet.

I have one already typed up, I just haven't posted. I can post it up if you'd like. But yeah, you pretty much laid it out plain and simple in that one sentence.
Hi, i'm facing some problems with the swapping i did (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857391)
I honestly don't know what to do, i'm not very good at these things. I tried it twice on my samsung galaxy note 10.1 and both times the swap is sucessful BUT it still saves in the internal.... I'm running stock kernel if you need more information you can ask. Oh and I did it with script manager
Please, help me. I really need the space
(using Sandisk ultra class 10 64 gb)
No suggestions at all?

Give it time. Not everyone checks XDA on an hourly basis.
So when you run the script it moves everything and does what it should? But then you get new apps and they continue to install on internal?

Exactly...I really would appreciate any help I could get, maybe some new steps? I'm really not so good though I believe I followed the steps well.
Thanks for your time
If you need more information ask please, and my android version is 4.1.2 (don't know if its useful)

Did you happen to read anywhere that it needs to be run again when adding new apps? Like it only moves them the one time and it's not like a setting that future apps go to sd.

If i understood corectly, I didn't read anything like that but i made the script (via script manager) executable and to run at boot. It should just install in the external without boot or anything else needed.
I read on other forums about other devices that the easiest way to swap internal with external is by modifying your vold.fstab, but the mine is really wierd (I can post it if needed) , it's not like the other peoples devices. Maybe its that way on all SG note 10.1 because no one else has done it on the note 10.1.
Maybe I should flash a new rom? Like omega? I really don't know
So, I understood what I was doing wrong. I had updated the version of my device and the script wasnt compatible with JB. Though I have a quick question for anyone. Now that I used the one for JB and swapped the internal with external when i download a game for example Iron man (which is 800MB) a small part (around 10MB) goes in the internal,that happends with all games (some even take more 15MB or so). Is that normal?
EDIT: Nah, it still fully installs in the internal, swap is still sucessful though, at least it shows so.... Maybe if I can go back to ICS?
Okay, I'm having some issues with my device being a Samsung Galaxy Avant. I have gained root access and TWRP as well as AOSP ROM flashed... Because who wants stock? So since I'm always looking for ways to make my phone better than the rest and with out spending an outrageous amount I ask how do I get more space on my device. I have a lot of music and new music is always coming in and while using a file manager works, it tedious and unsettling if something goes wrong. So I appreciate any answers or hints.

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
To do this, you need to modify your fstab in your boot.img to be able to redirect internal storage to say, a second partition on your SD card. But it's messy (especially if the bootloader is locked), and full of considerations (e.g. puts extra load on a sensitive SD card).
At any rate, please go ahead and create an XDA account, so you can post in the rest of the site. Then, check out the following thread:
