For noob users of prime 1.6, is there a CWM method to flash rooted stock 8.4.4.11 -- without using nvFlash?
If there is already a previous post with the answer, I missed it. I have checked the CWM Rooted Update to STOCK 8.6.5.6 from STOCK 8.4.4.11 US only thread

Is there a way to root the last stock update?
i have the build HTJ85B.WW_epad-8.6.5.7-20110730
I had a thought about that.
If someone released a recovery.img for Clockworkmod, then you could install it without root, using NVFlash.
Then you can install SuperUser or a pre-rooted ROM of your choice using CWM.
Unless I'm missing something...
Dear friends,
I just rooted and installed the cw recovery in my newly bought ASUS TF. The current version is 8.4.4.11, 3.1. Then how can I update my machine to V8.6.5.9, 3.2 without wipe?
Thank you very much!
Depending on which rooting method you used, if you read the root thread, it will advise you to update to the latest firmware for your model before rooting. You won't be able to update to the latest firmware after rooting and installing cwm recovery because the update will fail. You will need to return back to full unrooted stock with no cwm recovery, then update to the latest firmware, then reroot. PM me for instructions on how to return to stock.

I have seen this a few times, you do not have to return to stock to update your firmware. A couple of nice people have made the update compatible with CWM and you just have to put the zip on your SD card and install it from CWM. Here's the links to go to .9 and .13 Cheers.

After looking at what firmware you are at, I'm not sure if there are zip updates that go back that far, but you can certainly search to see...Cheers.

Install a new custom rom
Hi all,
I have installed various experimental ROMs but found my tablet 'crippled' in many respects. I guess they are still early in their development.
I would like to flash .29 official ROM again and tweak that to my own liking but that will lose root. Since I unlocked the bootloader so I cannot do OTA after downgrade root.
Could anyone help? Preferably give me a fresh copy of WW .29 rooted TWRP recovery backup?
Or does anyone know of a modded .29 Tom out there?
Cheers guys
Just flash the normal ROM, then flash the root zip in the second post of the CWM thread.
I managed to flash stock .29 rom, now I cannot use the wolf's method to downgrade as before, CWM cannot be accessed as before. back to square one.
Try reflashing CWM or TWRP, then flash the root zip. You really shouldn't have to downgrade for anything with an unlocked bootloader.
It seems that the bootloader is just broken. When opened an android lies flat with a body flap open with red lights on.

I need advice on what you would do in my situation. I am on stock rom LF2, rooted, CWM recovery and bootloader unlocked and I want to upgrade to JB. What would you recommend be my upgrade path without wiping data? Just doing a dirty flash using CWM or upgrade via OTA and then rooting using the ODIN packages? As an added complication, I recently acquired the copy/paste bug. Thanks for your input.
Use the pre-rooted no-wipe version here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436. Then you can just boot up the phone and flash CWM recovery using EZ-Recovery and unlock with EZ-Unlock version 1.2. There is another guide stickied at the top of the development section but I think it is a little more work to get the same result. Make sure to take a backup first of course. Then if you want the latest CWM recovery you can flash it with ROM Manager. I used this method to go from stock rooted and unlocked VRALG1 to the J1, K1 and then K3 leaks all without wiping data and everything has worked great. No media drain or anything else.
Thanks, I was confused about which method to use. I just finished flashing and everything seems to be working.
I am selling my 300T and I have downloaded the latest JB .20 ROM from Asus. I am currently on JB .18. I want to return everything to stock before I sell it. I am currently rooted with an unlocked bootloader and have deleted some stock apps. I have TWRP recovery currently installed. Will flashing via Fastboot be the best method? Will this flash the recovery as well? I saw another thread saying that flashing the blob file via fastboot restored the tablet to stock completely, but there was a discrepancy on the command to use. Thanks for the help.
