Hi I'm new to the forum and I'm looking to root my TF-101 running the following specs:
Android version 3.2
build number: US_epad 8.6.5.6 -20110726
kernal version: 2.6.36.3 android mercury#1
I have done research for a few hours and found some viable root methods but none are confirmed for my version and build number.Can someone post or provide a link for this build?
Thanks in advance.
NVFlash method should work for you with the exception of some B70 device.
Look at your serial number and it should start with a B follow by a number
The NVFlash method requires you to install clockworkmod recovery as well as a custom rom. I recommend the method below. This method gives you the choice of just root or install clockworkmod+custom rom. I used this method to root my transformer after i applied the latest 3.2 OTA update. Note: If you install clockworkmod recovery, you won't be able to receive OTA updates, as they require stock recovery.

Question: My Nexus S is 2.3.3 with the following:
Baseband: M200KRKB3
Kernel: [email protected]#1
Build: GRI54
Which method can I use to just root it? I do not need the ability to
install any custom ROM at the moment.
I have read through several of the rooting threads but the builds are
lower versions and it is unclear if the Clockwork recovery or build.img
(depending on the method) will support the baseband and build listed
above.
I appreciate the help.
Thanks.
Used GingerBreak
Ok, solved it. I tried and successfully rooted using GingerBreak.

Hello everybody,
I search a way to put my TFT101 to revolver 4.
My transformer get the android version 4.0.3 build 9.2.1.11.
I think I need to rollback to honeycomb, root my device and update with revolver 4 firmware, but I can't find how to rollback my firmware.
Is it another way to update to revolver ? How I could update with a simple method ?
Thanks for your answers
Root your device with vipermod.
Install recovery with install recovery app (Post 218 in thread)
Download Revolver rom
Flash rom in recovery
I can't see the point of downgrading
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
Root and use 3.2.0.1 roach-tf101-r1 recovery.
It's very good!

You don't need to downgrade if you use Vipermod Root (use option 1)
Once rooted, flash CWM Recovery. Then Superwipe to format data/system/caches. Then flash Revolver!

I just picked up a used TF101 and have been reading the threads learning more about my new ( used ) toy.
The tablet just recently updated itself to ICS 4.0.3 with Kernel 2.6.39.4 & 9..2.1.27 and now I would like to root the device and look at the possibility of loading new roms etc.
I have read the forum until my eyes hurt. Is there someone that can point me at the correct thread to root my device safely?
Thanks

To get root & custom recovery, the following methods are reported to be working with the latest Asus ROM:

I have personally used the first method about a month ago, no problem with my tf101 and the latest ROM (9.2.1.27)

I've can also vouch for the first method on TF101G with latest ICS ( [TOOL]PERI-0.4 One click root+recovery/fix-bootloops+soft-bricks ALL Devices V0.4). Just install it on the PC, run the .BAT file and follow the instructions to root and install Custom Recovery on the Transformer.
The only issue I've had is that its custom Recovery won't seem flash the ASUS stock ROM for some reason. So what I do now is use the above tool to get root and Custom Recovery, then use that to flash ClockWorkMod Recovery v6.0.1.4 NoTouch Hybrid from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855686 - click the Download link and get the cwm-6.0.1.4-notouch-hybrid.zip file (apparently the Touch version is currently broken).
From CWM recovery you should be able to flash any custom ROM and kernel etc., and also return to stock by flashing the ASUS stock ROM from their download site (make sure you select the right one for your model and unzip it first - for some reason they put the zip ROM inside another zip).
If you do return to stock, don't forget you'll also lose root and custom recovery so you'll need to start over.
Good luck!

Can someone give me step by step instructions on how to upgrade my device to JB 4.2.1 with ASUS stock bootbloader10.6.2x and TWRP patched 2.4.4.0 ?
Thanks

Here is a link to the best tutorial I have ever found for upgrading the TF300T. Though written for upgrading to JB 4.2.1, it works for any version, you just have to substitute the appropriate files.

Read through it VERY CAREFULLY and don't proceed until you are completely familiar with the steps you need to follow for your particular situation.
If you have questions, ASK. Don't go forward not knowing for sure what to do and wind up bricking your tablet.
Let me know if I can help in any way.
