[Q] I need confirmation if this will work

I rooted my transformer using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125714. It was before the 8.4.4.11 update (which I didn't receive) so that is not what matters. I decided that I will go and flash the prime 1.5 rom and cwm recovery. At first, all I did was just root without even installing clockworkmod recovery, so I am running stock 3.1. Does anyone here recommend using the ClockworkMod 3.1.0.1-solarnz-R3 recovery? I have read that there can be some issues, but those peoples problems might not exactly pertain to me. I don't know If I might have different results.

I have flashed my device countess times with CWM and backed up and restored my device several more and have yet to run into a single problem. I would highly recommend it. And going with the modded version has the added benefit of keeping your files on the internal storage safe from data wiping. Give it a shot you won't regret it.

[Q] Rooted Stock 3.1 Xoom to Team Tiamat Manta Ray Kernel

Hello,
I am very confused as to whether or not it is possible to go from my rooted US Xoom Wifi only running rooted stock 3.1 directly to the Manta Ray rom, or do I go to stock rooted 3.2 first? Whatever the case, could someone link me to the correct procedure? I cannot find something that matches my exact setup, and the Rom's thread is unclear whether I have to update first. Yes, I know, this is probably a noob question, but I am pretty new to rooting in general.
Does anyone how to do this?

Since you're rooted your bootloader is already unlocked
Just flash CWM 3.2.0.0 RC4
Wipe from CWM
Load Tiamat.
It should be that easy.

Ok, so the manta ray package is the whole system image for 3.2? Will it work essentially like an update?
EDIT: Also, just for clarification, I use wipe data/factory reset, and then put the rom on a microSD, then flashing it by doing what, exactly?

If you're downloading the Team Tiamat Mantay Ray 2.0.1 ROM - Yes, it includes everything.
You will boot into CWM recovery 3.2.0.0 RC4, do you have that installed? If not, please flash it first.
Then you flash the rom from CWM itself, after booting into CWM. Have the rom zip package on the flash card.
If you need more explicit instructions, they can be pieced together from the CWM thread and the Tiamat rom thread

Alright, got CWM 3.2.0.0 RC4 installed, now, for the part that scares me..Im gonna flash the Tiamat img now.

[Q] Bluetooth wont turn on

I've updated my 3.1 to 3.1.1 and then to 3.2 using the following methods and I just realized that my bluetooth wont turn on. I've tried restarting / setting to airplane mode and clearing bluetooth share data and nothing works. Can anyone with the same experience help ?
Symtom :
When i Go Into Settings > Wireless & Networks > Bluetooth , and I hit the Bluetooth to power it on it says Powering On then it goes back to the Off Settings
From rooted 3.1 to 3.1.1 ( 8.4.4.11 ) I've flashed using this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178607
and to 3.2 using this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190877
I do use the bluetooth alot for tether so it would be nice if I can regain it's functionality.

may be due to corrupt file
flash the last file after checking md5

I am almost sure thatit is the flash fro 3.1 to 3.1.1 that did it s there anything that i can do now ?

I have the exact same problem and hoping I don't have to wipe everything again. I spent some time getting everything working. I flashed the .11 cwm full in the dev section then the 3.2 cwm zip. I might backup my data and flash again.

I am already on 3.2 what should i do and what do you mean by reflash ? Do you just redo the 3.1.11 and then 3.2 via CWM ? Won't that brick the TF ?

I believe it will, I mean nvflash to stock and try the whole process again. I'm in the process of backing up and attempting. I did try 3.2 cwm zip again but bluetooth still wont turn on so it must be the flash to .11 that messed things up.

Okay I'm not that smart.....can you be so kind to provide steps/forum thread on how to nvflash ? I know it's a process to flash back to stock / unrooted / without CWM ( just like out of the box ) ?

Had to step out but I'm back now and will try to reflash with nvflash and post the steps for you if it works.

Thanks a lot Jetway. That would be awesome.
I figure it would be something like use nvflash to 3.1
Asus Transformer NVFlash Stock 3.1 Recovery Roms
upgrade to 3.1.1 OTA
root it using the thread below ?
Batch script Pure Root Method for 8.4.4.11 & 8.6.5.6US - v5 beta update
use the CWM to flash to 3.2 ( there's also post on the thread above stating that you can just do OTA to 3.2 and then root it using the available script )
Sounds about right ? If you can still post your steps it would be awesome. Sorry I'm total noob in this.

You got it right, that's what I wanted to do and skip the Full 8.4.4.11 CWR ZIP but for some reason on .11 I cannot install any version of cwm not even the failsafe one and my tablet won't see the OTA either even with the stock flash and manual update from asus website.
So flashing with nvflash from link tabletroms brought back bluetooth and when I flashed Full 8.4.4.11 CWR ZIP I still have bluetooth! I rooted with the script in the dev thread and used the failsafe cwm. About to update to 3.2 and see if it still works.
Update: So when flashing the cmw 3.2 file this is where the bluetooth is lost. If only my device would see the OTA this could be solved. Im trying to redownload the zip file.

I got to grab another microSD card so I haven't started yet , but from the sound of it I should try to upgrade all the way to 3.2 ( if possible ) and then only try to root/cwm ( using the batch script v. 5 ) it by then ? What a pain in the bottom...... thanks for your help , at least I have someone with the same scenario that knows way much more than I do and can offer help...

Jetway , will this 3.2 OTA firmware be useful to you since you cant get the 3.2 from 3.1.1 ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190868

I tried everything I could with the cwm files but once going to 3.2 I always lost bluetooth. So I looked at the thread you posted which I saw before but didn't read the whole thread and now that I did I was able to update to 3.2 (no root) + bluetooth working.
I nvflashed to 3.1 (.45 not .11) then I downloaded the ota ([the one from multiupload 60+meg one] )
imtiyazee:
I followed these instructions to flash:Instructions copied from gee one post
I had trouble applying the OTA manually. It was a pain.
If you are stock and NOT rooted, it's not too bad.
Download the US version of the update. There's a thread in the dev section I think.
Rename it to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip and save it to the root directory of the external micro SD.
Put the sdcard in the slot and reboot into recovery. You should see an android guy with a gear belly for 5-10 mins. Wait and be patient until you see your homescreen again.
To get into recovery, turn off the TF. Hold the volume down button and press the power button. As soon as the screen come on, you see some text at the top. Press volume up to boot recovery. If you wait too long, it will wipe your data, so back up anything important.
If you are rooted and/or you have a custom recovery, this probably won't work.
After all this I had 3.2 with working bluetooth, I will use the script to root but follow the above and you should be good as well
Update : I used the script v5 and rooted just fine, finally I'm done!!!!

Jetway, I'm confused , how did you update from 3.1.11 to 3.2 ?
Update: What a pain in the butt. I finally managed to finish installing everything. I did the same thing you did ( I should learn to read slower) . Thanks a lot Jetway

I didnt, i went from 3.1.45 not the .11. I went to tabletroms and grabbed the nvflash for us transformer. So i skipped the update you see, and i grabbed the 3.2 update from OTA thread as you posted. Get the 60meg one as its for updating from 3.1 (.45) version andfollowed the steps i posted about renaming the update file and putting it on an micro sdcard.

Awesome, I'm back to 3.2 Rooted /CWMed and Bluetooth freaking works ! Thanks Jetway112
Here's what we did , in case anyone needs help

Np we helped each other out on this one for sure. Just glad that our bluetooth is working agian.

Someone needs to sticky this so that no one else goes from 8.4.4.5 to 8.4.4.11 then 3.2 like we did and lose bluetooth.
I've lost my Bluetooth too. I'm trying to find out how I can return to what I had before without losing everything. I did a android and a titanium backup so I'm hopeful.

Second that
Yeah I agree... it was a pain in the bottom to get the bluetooth back up. I'm going to post this thread over at the other 8.4.4.11 thread

Thanks a lot! Followed everything as u said and got BT back!

[UPDATE][WW] CWM Rooted Update to STOCK 8.6.5.7 from STOCK 8.4.4.11 WW only

Here's a stock rooted clockworkmod update for 8.4.4.11 WW users who want to upgrade to HC3.2 8.6.5.7
8.6.5.7_FOTA_WW_root_rec
MD5: 74522fb41d4a61c518814532a4d04332
I've included CWM recovery packaged with the new recovery kernel so there should be no issues getting into CWM after updating like there was with my US update.
This is not for users of custom roms. STOCK only.
Also, any changes you have made to the system folder will likely cause this to fail so you may need to edit the updater-script file to suit your needs.

Can this do pure root only for 3.2ww??

There are two pre-reqs:
1. You have to be running 8.4.4.11 WW
2. You need to have CWM recovery
Meet these criteria and this is for you.

Can't get it, login and password needed.
Also anyone know how to kill the Asus updates? My rooted 3.1 stock is asking me to update!!!

Oops, Link fixed.
After installing this just attempt the update, it will boot you into recovery and fail, then the popup is gone.

Thanks, updated fine, and the attempted update cleared the update. (Had to long-press Off to turn the tablet off after the failed update).
Is there a way to remove/disable the Asus update checker in stock rooted roms, so I don't have to do that again?

Sure, just use a file manager to rename Dmclient.apk in /system/app

Noob question...
what will happen if from prime 1.6 i flash stock 3.2?
i want to go to stock for this period.

I'm guessing it won't work. You will have to flash a full rooted stock ROM via clockworkmod, then the incremental update(s) all the way to 8.4.4.11 (WW), then this...
Each of these seem to be a patch over the previous, and all the files are CRC checked, if any of them fail to match, the update won't proceed.

Since the update, i'am unable to play a HD videos .... :-(

Allthe time i hear bad remarks and comments for 3.2
what do you guys believe?
to upgrade or not?
im on prime 1.6 still but no problem with anything.

I am at pure rooted Stock WW 8.4.4.5 ROM. How can I get the Stock 8.6.5.7 the easiest way?
Thanks a lot

Let me know how this goes if you try it out. I'm on Prime 1.6 as well

how can i get back to stock from Prime 1.7 Beta??

Sweet thing!
Just to confirm before I blow up my tablet, I'm running:
HMJ37.WW_epad-8.4.4.11-20110711 (rooted with CWM, of course)
This works, right?
Also, no mods, but I did copy the tun.ko driver to the /system/lib/modules directory. From what I've read, this won't stop the update, will it?
Thanks

anyone?

Yep, will work no problem.

Could somebody make a thread & upload 3.2 ww stock, no root? OTA failed and refuses to appear again... would be much appreaciated.
The ASUS update zip format would be perfect.

@[email protected], did you found an easy solution? I tried to flash the WW 3.2, but the patch checks are failing. But I also realsized, that I'm on DE_8.4.4.11 and not on WW.
@Roach2010, any chance that you build a CWM flashable 3.2 update coming from DE_8.4.4.11 ?
Cheers,
Matthias

So I can't flash this if I am on 8.4.4.5?

[Q] CWM and stock recovery

Hello -- I'm new to the Charge but have a little experience rooting/flashing ROMS with Motorola devices. At this point all I want is a rooted device and everything else stock (2.2.1 firmware / EE4). To achieve this I placed the Superuser app zipfile onto my sd card, flashed CWM with Odin, booted into recovery and applied the zip update. Everything went smoothly, my device is now rooted and works fine. However, when I boot back into recovery I find that CWM is still installed, I was under the impression that this procedure would overwrite CWM with stock recovery when I rebooted. I don't really mind having CWM, just wondering if the fact that it wasn't overwritten is indicative of some other problem that is likely to bite me in the a** down the road.
Also, if all I have done is rooted and kept the kernel untouched, will I be able to receive the gingerbread OTA when it is released (if ever)? Or will I have to flash back to a stock Froyo ROM?
Thank you thank you thank you in advance.

What zip did you apply IN CWM?
Sounds like you applied a kernel too. Having CWM is not normal if you just flashed the superuser zip.
You will likely need to flash back to stock prior to updating with the GB OTA whenever it comes out.

Thank you for the reply.
The only zip I applied was the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed file downloaded here.
For CWM I flashed 0817_charge_recovery.tar.md5 found here.
Again I am now rooted but can still boot into CWM. After flashing the CWM file and disconnecting my phone, I initially fat-fingered it trying to boot into recovery and it rebooted. I then powered off and booted successfully into CWM to apply the zip file.
Any thoughts?

Ok, the main difference I see between my config and yours is that I may have used a different version of the superuser package.
The one at the link that you provided is superuser/su-3.0-d-signed.zip.
The one that I used is the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip from here
You did start out from stock correct?
What is the kernel version in Settings->About phone->Kernel version?

Actually when I downloaded the Superuser zip file from the site I referenced it was su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip. This was a few weeks ago -- before version 3.0 was added.
My phone was absolutely stock when I got it 2 weeks ago and I have done no other messing with it. The Kernel version as it reads right now is:
2.6.32.9

Looks like you did the same steps that I did other than your extra boot into CWM. Usually, the stock init will check for the proper recovery, file systems, etc and then "fix" that which isn't right.
I have never seen it not do that before (I have had to reflash CWM several times before due to botching the 3 button bit)

You cannot apply the OTA if you have CWM recovery. It will fail. Usually you need to have a fully bloated stock rom w/ stock recovery. Root is ok but you will lose it w/ the update

That's kind of why I chose this method to root, thinking that CWM would get overwritten when I rebooted -- but it didn't. Oh well.
