I'm having trouble downgrading to 8.2.2.9 from 8.2.2.13. When I power down the unit and try to install the update it shows a progress bar for 2 seconds and then shows a warning symbol. It eventually starts up, but it is still 8.2.2.13. Is there anything I am missing here?
I tried placing the unzipped files on the root of my SD card, and then powered down my Transformer. Powered back on by holding down power and volume down.
Please help.
Did you put this file in the root of the sd card US_epad-user-8.2.3.9.zip?

Where is that located? I downloaded the file from Asus's site, and the unzipped it, and then just placed the contents in the root of the SD card. I'm not seeing that file.
It's inside the folder called update
When you unzip the file you downloaded from asus you'll see a folder called asus inside that folder there's another folder called update inside that folder there is the file you need to put in the root of your sd card

Ok. I think I downloaded the wrong file? I'm attempting it now.
Edit: Where is the file I'm supposed to download? I've tried 3 different files now.

Thanks. I was able to downgrade. Now I'm having problems with ADB. I followed the guide located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071584.
I'm not seeing the platform-tools folder. I see a platform folder, and a tools folder, but no platform-tools folder.

i think you just need the tools folder give it a try with a command prompt window
In new SDK there's no ADB in the zip file, you need to go to "tools" directory and run i think it is "android" command and it will allow you to download. It will go to "platform-tools" directory.
There is also a text file in tools directory explaining this

MD5? thanks in advance!
Thank you guys for your help so far. I'm finally working on doing the actual root.
Where do I place the blob zip file? Inside of the Platform tools? Or just inside of Android-SDK?
When I got to step 4, nothing happened.

You shoul extract files from zip and put CWM_BLOB_5, gingerbreakBB and superuser in platform-tools folder and then adb push gingerbreakBB (step 2) change file permission (step 3) run adb shell and execute gingerbreakBB (step 4) and let it do its magic to get temp root
After this you can push cwmblob to install CWM and insecure boot and you'll be ROOTED

At step 4 I get: /data/local/gingerbreakBB: not found.

That means you haven't pushed gingerbreakbb to the transformer
You have to make sure you have all them files in the platform tools folder and start from step 2 again after executing step 2 you should see transfer confirmation eg 300 kb <21500 bytes in 0.70s> and then proceed further if you can't see transfer confirmation check first if adb detects your device if not try reinstalling usb drivers or execute adb remount
Hope this helps

After running "adb push gingerbreakBB /data/local/" in step 2 the command prompt gives me back a bunch of information like : Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.26.
ADB is detecting my device. Maybe I am missing something else?

All you should get is transfer conf, the "Android debug..." info only appears when there is something wrong with adb command so it looks like you're doing something wrong there
Just a quick example how the command line should look like
C:\android\android-sdk\platform-tools\adb push gingerbreakBB /data/local

That's exactly how my command prompt looks like. I'm reinstalling the Android SDK now. Hopefully that fixes things.
Not to totally hijack this thread, but does this downgrading work on 3.1? Because I downloaded the file and well I get cogs and the exclamation mark. Sucks for me cause I'd like to downgrade and then install the rooted 3.1 file.
Edit: I forgot the most important step; Removing the sd card and installing it again.
Be sure to place the update file in the external SDcard root and be sure to name it exactly
EP101_SDUPDATE.zip
or it won't work

A word of advice: NEVER delete system applications, instead just freeze them. You never know when you may need them or want them back, and if you delete something (case in point here) that you want back, then you're asking for possible unwanted issues...

Try doing "adb install com.motorola.PerformanceManager.apk" or copy it to SD card and then use some file manager.

Easiest way is to download the file to your computer, then connect your phone in usb mass storage mode to your computer, copy the .apk file you downloaded to your sdcard (which might show up as D: or E: in your PC), disconnect phone from computer, on phone use the "Files" file manager, go to "sd card", locate the .apk and tap on it to install. (Unknown sources should be ticked in your Settings > Applications)
Delete previous performance Manager that you have copied to system/app folder
Extract the attachment then copy both files to system/app without renaming or modifying them
Now to set the permission press and hold both files one after other for 3 seconds a window will appear in that select permission .
Now set permission as I have attached a Image.
People please help me I copied the apk and odex file and I have set the permissions but its not helping

For future reference just copying files to system/app never works. You ALWAYS have to push them with adb. Do you have adb set up on your computer?
If you must use root explorer, you need to copy the files first to the /system folder, and change the permissions to rw-r--r--.. Then "multi-select" both files and "MOVE" (do not copy) them to the /system/app folder, then reboot immediately. If you can go into recovery mode (with bootstrap or cwm on boot feature), then wipe dalvik and cache partition - if not, it may act up.. and it may not.. I have done this countless times with no issues (unless I was sloppy and forgot to rename or change permissions).
It's not the best method - farshad525hou is right, adb is cleaner.. but it can/does work

Yea, I know some folks are opposed to it and/or can't get it to work properly, but I've doing it for quite some time and never ran into a problem - unless I don't do something right. But, come to think of it, I am usually overwriting old files when pushing with root explorer, not placing new ones - I wonder if that may have something to do with it..?
But, I am all for adb - it's an excellent tool that everyone who wants to mod needs to get familiar with.
I suppose we are getting off topic, but this would make a good discussion thread somewhere...
EDIT: just checked, I guess I'm not alone after all!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412729 - the key steps are to set permissions (which can't be done on the sdcard) and MOVE to /system/app (or where ever)

Just do adb install xx.xx.xx.apk there is no need to remount (or odex file). What is the error message do you get when you tried adb install? If it says already installed, then go to settings -> applications -> all and uninstall the same, and try adb install again.

I have accidentally installed a theme that is probably of higher resolution than my phone screen. Now in locked mode the unlocking option/pattern/graphics is not visible as it is 'spilling out of screen'.Only a part of large lockscreen wallpaper is occupying my entire screen. Android debugging is on in my device (thankfully). Please suggest me a tool/method using which i can control the phone using PC(or atleast unlock the phone). I (obviously) cannot install anything on my phone, i found some such apps that need installation on phone.
Last option is to flash my phone in recovery with a ROM, but i dont want to do that if other ways possible. my phone is on MIUI ROM developed on 26/9/12
You can wipe your /data in recovery if you don't mind
Or you can manually delete the theme using adb(the apk will be in /data/app).
PS: make a nandroid backup first in case anything goes wrong...
Edit: if you don't know the Apk name, navigate to /data/app and type find(Idk if it will work on windows, cause I tested it in android )

how to i enter in my phone's system dir using command line??

thankfully i am able to atleast see files and folders in my phone's system using http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
Why would you enter in your system dir.
Btw now that you have access to your phone, download rootexplorer or es file explorer and you'll have access to /data, /system and more

FIRST YOU STOP SPAMMING EVERYWHERE
What is the problem when you can see all system files and folder. Go to data /app.. and delete it. Or if you have moved the theme apk to sdcard.. just browse your sdcard using an adapter and delete that appname.apk from ".android_secure" folder.
Use these (if you havent moved the app to sdcard)
adb shell
login as.. su
cd data/app
ls
rm appname.apk
reboot
problem solved
Sorry 'senior member' , i did not mean to spam but if u can understand my desperation. btw problem solved- a noobie like me suggested to call from a different phone and while on the call change the theme....
i myself tried a lot fiddling with command line but wasnt able to figure out.
Peace \/

Hi guys
After a few weeks on f2fs i decided to revert back y filesystem to ext4. Everything goes well except sideloading new rom to my device ( as its completely wiped ) Everything is now formated to ext4. Then the problem starts..
When I'm trying to sideload the rom i get error 'cannot read' even though I've put rom in my adb folder and my device is connected in sideload mode.
If someone could help me via team viewer ( free software allowing you to use my PC from yours PC ) it would be super great.
Thanks

Must give the path to your ROM zip. Your cmd prompt runs from c: \users\koppa but the ROM is not there.
You can't put the ROM in the adb folder. That only works if. You haven't added adb to your environment variable path and you have cd to that location
To get this to work either put the ROM in c: \users\koppa or cd to your adb folder or give the full path in the command

A neat little trick with Windows and cmd is to back out of the folder you are in. So, if the path was C:\Users\toster jp\adb, back out to the C:\Users\toster jp folder. Hold shift and right click the adb folder. Select Open command window here. Then, cmd automatically cd to the proper directory. Then your adb sideload rom.zip will work.

What do you mean exactly?
Are you installing using a flashable zip or the application?
A flashable zip is the easiest way so you can edit the installer script to place it in whatever directory you wish.
I never use the apk tools themselves for installing.
You can also boot to recovery and mount system.
Then from terminal, EX:
Code:
adb push MyCoolMod.apk /system/app
Let me know if that helps, or if you need more info, or are deadset on using that app to install and we can go from there.

After you push to the /system/priv-app folder, did you reboot? That should have installed it for you. Might also be a permissions problem. Make sure the permissions on your file are the same as the permissions on the rest of the files in that folder.
