Hi,
Just ran Alpharevx on Linux on my phone and all seemed successful. I have a question though, I don't seem to have root...
Even though Clockworkmod is installed if I go into recovery, SetCPU and ROM Manager both state I do not have root permissions, is there an extra step I'm missing?
Hi, why don't simply install a custom rom. Many custom roms out there come with root, backup, task manager, OC and etc. Once you get a hang of it, you might want to try your own build.

Thanks, any particular one you recommend that works well?
I myself think I'll go with this one. I like the stock experience so far, but with Sense 3.0 would be even better, especially since the "answer in my pocket" thing annoys the hell out of me (problem solved with Sense 3.0).

You need to use gingerbreak. Search for it in the development section, its an app you run on your phone that installs root for you.
It may tell you that its not sure if it worked but that's normal, just reboot the phone and you will have root!

To root your stock ROM then use Ginger Break you can download a free market app called root checker to see if you have root.
I'd recommend that you also take a backup of your existing stock rom using either CWM or through rom manager backup before you install a custom rom.
I'd also suggest that you install LBC MOD custom....but try them all and decide for yourself.
I'd also recommend that you install 4EXT recovery rather than CWM as its an improved easier to use version of CWM which is updated very often.

Your quite right....you can't, I clearly was thinking straight.
I'll edit post above so as not to mislead.
Alpharevx installs clockworkmod recovery if you want.
With CWM you can make a full backup, the you can try some other ROMs. I am using virtuous unity and looks really well.

Although, you won't be able to take a successful NANDROID backup even with CWM unless you have rooted your phone.

The only suggestion I would have is to make ClockWorkMod compatible directly with ASUS ROMs (previous and new format: patches + BLOB), as the previous idea is both inadequate or extremely inefficient.
Original first post:
Hi fellow Transformer adopters
After writing an Asus firmwares repacking tool for personal/dev usage, I repacked some official Asus ROMs in ClockWorkMod recovery update.zip formats.
Uploaded here on my server:
http://dl.project-voodoo.org/transformer-roms/
Those are unmodified but rooting is automatically applied in the flashing process without requiring manual intervention.
What's flashed:
- Everything (Kernel, system, additional stuff)...
- except of course the recovery, this way you keep your previously installed custom recovery.
What's needed:
- Only requirement: any custom recovery capable of flashing unsigned standard update.zips, like this one
- As long as the custom recovery is here, there is no prior-rooting requirement.
Requests to repack missing ROMS are welcome if accompanied by download links.
Happy flashing ^^
Hi, I'm new to Asus Transformer, but these are 3.0 ROMS? Do you have 3.1?
And am I correct in saying, that if I flash old 3.0, I can then get clockwork mod on there, and then flash one of these to get a stock ROM but rooted? (I'm guessing I would need SuperUser.APK to install).

repacked-8.4.4.5_US+root-CWR-update.zip is a 3.1 ROM.
May I rename the files for faster recognition?
And yep that's the idea. Once you get the custom recovery, you can flash any ROM this way.
The lack of proper flashing tool is really annoying but those ROMs are here to make the whole rooting+flashing process a bit easier in the end for most people.
i'm slightly confused by what this does.
i see that these are stock roms with root, however does that mean that, if you are on pure stock 3.1 and you flash your rooted 3.1 rom over it. we then get a 3.1 rooted rom without wiping everything?
or is it a case of it will root the rom but wipe everything? or will it just not flash over a stock 3.1 rom?
thanks for all the help!
I would like to understand this more too. I want to root my 3.1 install and add custom recovery. Well the recovery first then root!
As long as the custom recovery is here, there is no prior-rooting requirement.

How does one install CWM without prior root?
Putting on CWM and then flashing a prerooted room seems like a very easy way to get root if there is a way to just install the CWM apk.

That's what I'd like to know. I'm on 3.1 now, and I understand how to downgrade, root, install CWM and re-upgrade, but that's a lot of effort if this really requires no previous root.
I believe these packages make it easier for you to go from rooted 8.x.y.z to rooted 8.x.z.z, without having to worry about CWM getting overwritten. It doesn't help you root.

I have a quick question:
I downgraded from 3.1 to 3.0, rooted, and installed CWM. When I rebooted I was rooted with the superuser app. I then installed the repacked 8.4.4.5 rom linked in the first post and rebooted. After the reboot, I no longer have the superuser app. How can I tell if I'm still rooted?
**EDIT**
I confirmed the ROM linked above for 8.4.4.5 is indeed rooted. I was trying to use titanium backup but it kept failing to gain superuser permissions. You'll need to manually install superuser (and busy box) from the market after flashing this rom.

There are rooted 3.1 roms avaiable yes. To use them you need custom recovery which can only be
install if you're rooted. So you have to downgrade first to gain root then upgrade bck to 3.1 rooted rom.

I don't honestly know. I just searched for superuser app in the market and downloaded and installed it normally. After you install it, you actually have to open the SU app first in order for Titanium Backup to work. Here's the app I installed:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su
This is the version that came installed in all the roms I've ever used on my Captivate, so I figured I'd give it a try. It worked for me!
Before installing SU, Titanium Backup was unable to gain superuser permissions. Everything I've mentioned is what I've done after installing your repackaged stock rom for 3.1 and nothing else.
Oh that's right, I don't install Superuser apk correctly, I'll fix that.
So far the most important is that su binary is there already, this is the hard part
Does that mean you're going to repackage the repackaged firmware?
If so, would you recommend I reflash your new version over your previous version?

I'm running stock EE4 but I'm getting ready to root and install one of the debloated ROMs. Currently I have a lot of apps, home screens and ADW Launcher set to my satisfaction and settings tweaked how I like them.
What are "best practices" for pre-rooting backup so all of these are retrievable? I've used Titanium Pro on my tablet so I'm conversant with that process but don't I have to be rooted first? Should I root the phone, install TP, back-up and THEN flash the ROM? Are there alternatives?
Thanks, I await advice.
adw settings you can backup by going to adw settings and doing a backup. Not sure if there is an unrooted version of titanium. Bad part is. You cannot just root if you are EE4 already. 1click and Gingerbreak do not work on EE4. You have to Odin flash a rooted rom. Sorry. Know thats not what you wanted to hear.

Not true. You simply need to use Odin to flash a new kernel which is rooted (pbj by immuts for example). Once you've done this you'll also get CWM. You need to find an Odin package that only contains the kernel.
Once you've done that, with root you can use TiBackup like you've done before and then flash your ROM.
Thanks, fellas. If you're monitoring this thread, would you mind having a look over here?

OK SO, ROOTED means that the ROM has SU capability which is given to it by superuser app. Which allows you to have admin capabilities to change permissions to your filesystem.
The kernel allows you to overclock and undervolt your system while giving access to other HARDWARE specific functions.
Now please explain to me how a KERNEL can give you SuperUser permission to the filesystem if the KERNEL is a bridge between the Hardware and Software. Not saying your wrong, I just don't see how a Kernel can give you root access.

Indeed, strictly technically speaking you are correct. However after the radio on the charge got updated to EE4 the usual 'back doors' or exploits to get root no longer worked.
Therefore the developers of the kernels for the charge built in the capability to auto root when it boots and hands off the hardware to the software.
If you read the posts for the kernels (e.g. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1104634) you would see that.
Cheers!
I stand corrected. It's right there in black and white. Auto-Root on Boot.
We learn something new everyday. Thanks for getting me brought up to speed.

Is flashing a custom kernel, like PBJ, easily done using Odin? Do I use the same procedure when flashing CWM?
The latest version of CWM is not working--the button mapping is all screwed up. So I can't install any .zip files from my SD card -- I just keep seeing this f***ing blue banana.
So do I already need to have CWM installed to install a custom kernel? I'm waiting for someone to post CWM 4.0.0.8 until danalo is able to fix the faulty CWM currently linked for downloading

Flashing anything in Odin uses an almost identical procedure unless you're trying to also upgrade the baseband/radio/modem.
Yes, you can flash a kernel using Odin. You just have to make sure that you download the right file to be flashed because it must be in specific format (*.md5).
Here is a link to jt's kernel from this post. Its a root kernel with CWM and also includes the lagfix (reformat to EXT4) that you should be able to flash using Odin.
That should give you a working (although limited functionality) version of CWM so that you can then install everything else and upgrade when a newer working version of CWM comes out.
Basically you just need to get CWM on there once as a starting point and then you can upgrade, update, and do whatever you want from there.
So, I am going to do a lot more research prior to rooting, but I had a couple of general questions that I was wondering about, before I begin the steps leading up to rooting.
1) I presume the easiest way for me to root my Thunderbolt is the Revolutionary Root? This will take be through rooting and installing the CW recovery that I need, correct?
2) Right after I root, If I want to install roms/kernels? than I can just get Rom Manager from the android market?
3) Once I install Rom Manager, can I just flash a rom that is compatible with my Thunderbolt? Can I just flash a kernel that is compatible with the Rom?
I suppose where I get a lil lost is the flashing compatibility part. What kernels work with what roms, what roms I can flash... I have read a number of articles, so I suppose what I'm asking is...
Will the process more or less be: Revolutionary Root, Install Rom Manager from market, flash a rom (just the most popular one). Is the Kernel flashing piece important? Do I need to flash a different kernel? Is it easy to tell in Rom Manager which kernel/rom I can use?
Yes use revolutionary to root and install custom recovery (cwr). You can use ROM manager to download custom roms if you want, only roms for your device will show up. Or you can download custom roms from forums, this is the method I prefer.
Just use kernel that comes with the Rom for the time being some developers include a custom kernel and others make modifications to the HTC kernel itself. Kernels are seperated in development section having to do with sense and aosp that is the first way to seperate them. Second would be leak the kernel was based on such as imo test 3.8 was based on newest leak so it works for just about if not all newest sense roms. When in doubt fire up a question in the Rom thread itself and ask what kernels those people are using, find a Rom like BAMF or thunderstick or synergy where the developers or support staff are very active.
Also you will need to flash a new radio right after rooting if you are still using froyo, I am using newest leak but different phone work differently. Once you install the radio VIA Hboot. Reboot phone and remove zip file from root of SD card now place your Rom image on SD card and reboot to recovery and install your new Rom.

This is good info.. thanks.
Well, I am upgraded to Gingerbread as of VZW's last update and still unrooted and stock.
So, if I were to root (using revolutionary) and install Rom Manager... could I just install something like Cyanogenmod or BAMF right through Rom Manager?
What do you mean by kernel that comes with the Rom? The kernel that is listed to use with the Rom? Or do you mean if I flash BAMF or something popular, just leave whatever kernel I have as is?

When you flash a rom it flashes the kernel too with whatever one the devs packed with it.

Okay, clear enough.
So, for someone like myself, just use revolutionary root, install rom manager and play around a lil with flashing roms using rom manager for awhile. I understand that I can install roms from my SD card, but it sounds like at least initially installing roms right from rom manager would be the simplest. I can also not worry about installing a different kernel during this "honeymoon" phase. Just pick the latest version of whatever Rom I want and flash the rom?
After you root you need to install superuser so CWM can function. I have read that some people flash their CWM via hboot after s-off and then go right to recovery to flash the root gaining RUU, then enjoy your root.
Do not flash ROMs right from CWM reboot to recovery clear data/cache and under advanced davlik cache and then install Rom from install from SD and choose zip file and I always store mine in downloads since I download all my roms right to my phone and download md5 checker from market and always check the md5 if it does not match don't think its a mistake redownload and try again.

Agreed, it is better to install the ROM through recovery instead of installing through ROM manager as sometimes it doesn't work right.

Hey guys,
I been tracking at this great site for a while. I realized that there was a upgrade for MT4GS around the time that I got my phone(End of 2011). I saw some posts said that the upgrade had patched something so we can't root the phone with revolutionary method.
My question is is there any way to check and see if revolutionary method still work for my phone?
Software information
Android Version
2.3.4
Software Number
1.28.531.9
I think these information might help to determine.
Yep, Revolutionary will work for you.

rom manager... I guess I need some research on that. b/c I heard that there is some issues with the older clockwork mod.
Just a guess based on what I read in the past. Is rom manager an app?
Thank you!
Yep, Rom Manager is an app. You can flash superuser with an older version of CWM, then you will be rooted and can go straight to the market and download Rom Manager and use it to flash CWM 5.0.2.7.

4.0.0.9 is an upgrade that solves some charging issues present in 4.0.0.8 that is installed by revolutionary.
They are both unofficial clockworkmod versions.
5.0.2.7 is the only official version of the recovery for our device, and it's worth updating. The other versions were something to get us by until an official one was released for our device - and they did a great job while we were waiting.
Rom Manager is an app you can find in the market. Here is a link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&feature=search_result
Once you have root on your device, just install clockworkmod through Rom manager. It doesn't matter what recovery you currently have, whether it's stock or one of the custom clockworkmods, Rom Manager will just replace whatever is there. But you need root.
A while back, I always rooted and unrooted my Nexus S with no problems at all. Now whenever I try to root it, it just goes wrong. I've tried TWRP & CWM, CWM used to always work but now it just messes up. Both TWRP and CWM both give me an error that say Installation Aborted when I try to install a custom rom. I've redownloaded the rom from different browsers and even different PCs but nothing working, still that same error. Does anyone have a guide that is 100% to work without any errors during the process?

1. Make sure you're running one the more recent versions of the custom recovery. You probably are but there are issues with older versions so just make sure.
2. Boot into what ever recovery you pick and do a full wipe. That is everything gets wiped but your SD card. Factory reset. Format /system etc.
3. Flash your ROM and gapps if they are seperate.
You should not get any errors. If your recovery is current and your flashing a new rom onto a fully wiped system and you still get a error either you're screwing something up or you may have a hardware problem.
To rule out a hw problem flash the factory images with fastboot. If those flash normally and everything works it is almost certainly user error.

Alright, thanks Do you recommend that I root my Nexus S or should I wait for the Jelly Bean update? I've rooted before and I enjoyed it but now I don't see that many reasons to root, do you have any good reasons?
I have many. My reasons for root don't matter. If you don't have a reason for root then don't root. Its that simple really.
Make sure you're on a stock 4.0.4 rom. When the ota is out install it.
If you want just root on either os at any time just flash su.zip from custom recovery. Its that simple. Having root on a stock rom does not affect the ota process.

Getting rid of stuff I don't want in a ROM.
Apps that do things that require root.Titanium backup/autoruns adaway ( ad blocker app alone could be its one point) etc
Changing kernel settings. Bid/bin clocks volts etc.
Being able to have a replacement launcher use the ICS style widget drawer.
Lastly , I simply just can't see having a computer that I don't have root/admin rights to. Its my damn device and I do what I want.

Oh cool. There is this project that some members from XDA are working on called Sense4All and they are porting Sense to many devices. Im probably going to wait until a fully functionable release is available for the Nexus S. I do like AOKP a lot, so that might be a reason for why I'll root.
You seem to be a little confused with some terms. Root is simply being able to grant superuser permission.
You don't need to root to flash a custom rom on a nexus. Just a unblocked bootloader. You could run aokp or any other rom without root if you wanted to.
