Hey there, i've got the same problem, it seems the job is harder using Windows, so im currently downloading Ubuntu and going to run it inside windows using this http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer , then im going to try this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198303 , will let you know how it goes, 5 mins remaining of my Ubuntu download =)

Have rooted and unroot my tf with nvflash, very easy and simple to do. All there is to it is to connect usb, install nv flash device run bat file wait 5 min and done
-sent from my trans1

I would start by checking if your TF is not one of the latest "unrootable" batch... serial numbers beginning with B70/B80...

Right, that's the way to start. In my opinion, this is the best and easiest possibility to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185104

Would this be the serial if so is it compatible?? Thanks

No, look at the bottom of tab, to the right of the charging port, should start with B60 or B70 or B80.
If its a B70 or B80 rooting will be more lengthy process.

As I can see you've got a WW version just like me,down there is a link for rootkit, which is easy to use. The only problem is that I deleted the stock boot.img but the other is working perfectly (which is containing the CWM), it's a windows rootkit, and you just have to put your device into APX mode power button+vol-up for 3 secs, start the rootkit and it will say you what to do.

I've got a B70!!!
Is it still possible...

[Q] hardest reset? f*cked up rooting

Hi all,
I was working on rooting my TF with this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125714
Unfortunately something went wrong, on step 4C, restarting, it first booted like normal, but then showed an only stripes screen. Tried several thing with CWM and reboots but didn't help me. In fact only brought me further away.
I can now only get it to boot into APX mode.
Is there any way I can get it back to working or to boot normal again?
And if not: is there a way of giving a complete hard reset?
O, by the way: I posted here because to the forum I am n00b and therefore can't post in developer forum.
Were you on 3.2? If so you need to read this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16420142&postcount=571
Also what's your build number? You serial should start with a B follow by a number.
Somewhere during B70 build the SBK was changed and NVFlash method no longer work.

Had seen this post already.
Tried that already as well, but didn't really help me.
Don't have any clue on the build numberr at this point, since I can't get anywhere in the system. tablet bought beginning of July, don't know if the B70 was out at that point yet?
Look on the bottom of your tablet for a ticker or the box that it came in should have the serial number. If you bought it at the beginning you're probably good.

Have checked the box: it's a B60 model, not B70.
Still I don't know how to get it going again?

hony comb 3.2 root HElpe please

hello guyzz,
i have a tf with hony comb 3,2 and my build number is
HTj85B.WW_epad-8.6.5.9-20110816
i had yet installed dpx but if i installed this, does this mean that i can root my device cuz i have model b70 and some people say that some of those models are not secured.
someone can help me out i m stuck at the moment
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185104
If that works then you have root. If it doesn't then you can't root.
No one is going to spoon feed you the process. You need to read a little
what happens if it does not work ? at the moment i only installed apx.
Nothing will happen. It means you have the new sbk and can't root
hmm i have now apx mode on and i i am in a bleu screen on my pc and i have to chose first option 4 witch is about the adb, when i clik on it says something like if adb is conected to my tf ?? if i click yes can i brick my tf
I wouldn't attempt this if I were you
what do you sugest me to do thenn, just folow the steps in topic you send me or just wait for other method
Go here and see if you can figure out your SBK.

Can't root BAOKA

God I hate making these kinds of threads. It's the "I'm new and I need help and I'll probably never talk to you guys again after you've answered all my questions" kind of thread...
But yea, I'm gonna ask anyway and hope someone's gonna help me out.
I just got the TF101 for my bday. I've been trying to root it for the past few hours. I've read a few threads, and haven't gotten a clear answer to whether my model can be rooted or not.
Model Number starts with BAOK, which is weird because I've noticed everyone elses models are b60, 70, and 80. (Or I guess it's serial number since the little sticker says s/n"
Anyways I've tried two methods so far. I used the ViperMod Primetime and BRK Asus root toolkit v. 7.1.
The root toolkit did not work at all, I couldn't get passed the 4th tab. Something about not being able to communicate with tablet.
The ViperMod Primetime, went all the way through, but my TF was not rooted after completing the operation. It basically just rebooted it a few times. I installed the drivers and turned off auto sync. TF was also not connected to dock.
Anyways...I'm tired and my head hurts...Can someone please help me if they can? Thanks.
thats the wrong number... there are 2 serial numbers on the device the internal and the hardware the one that actually matters is the hardware and will be on a sticker on the bottom of your tablet. If it is bellow B70(which i doubt) then use NVFlash if it is above that use razorclaw
ok your serial number is in line with b70,b80,b90,ba0,bb0....etc hexadecimal i think it is, but thats not to important other than the reason the brk rootkit didnt work is because nvflash wont work on the newer devices, and the reason vipermod didnt work is because your not a tf prime.
that being said you need to search and read i know theres alot here and sometimes its intimidating but theres alot of info here your gonna want and need really.
the only method that will more than likely work for you will be nachoroot in the dev section...
i highly advise you knowing what ur doing, if you do something wrong you can brick ur tab and because its a newer deice the nvflash tools are locked and unavailable to fix it...good luck
Thanks for the advice guys.
I'll try razorclaw...I hope I don't F up lol.
@Mrevankyle: If this works, you should come to Vancouver and I'll buy u a beer

he is right nachoroot will work more likely if you are on a newer firmware. i haven't had to root for a good 6 months so i am not really up to date on what is working and what is not
I am having trouble getting the id to be 0.
I've done step 1 like 5 times and I still get this "uid=2000(shell) gid=2000(shell), etc..."
Anything I'm missing here?
Fixed that problem. I just shut down and restarted my TF.
But now I'm getting another problem.
After I type "adb push su /system/xbin/su"
It says su directory not found.
I went through the next steps anyways...and SURPRISE! The rooting didn't work...
So I retried it, now when I type "adb remount", it says "remount failed: Operation not premitted"
Arrrgh this is so frustrating! I've been working on this thing for 4 hours now...
id bet if you read thru that nachoroot thread you would find the answers you need, i havent used nachroot yet so i think that would be ur best bet.

Did you also get id=0 at the point:<if id is 0 / root then continue, else start over> ?
You can try Vipermod. It does the same but easier.

[Q] So today I updated CWM using ROM Manager...

And now I can't boot into recovery, it simply freezes at the "Asus" screen.
A quick flip through the forums reveals that it wasn't the smartest thing I have ever done. I can cold boot into Linux and the transformer works fine but I'd like to get everything up and operational.
I tried using the RecoveryInstaller.apk from gnufabio to no avail. Could someone perhaps provide some assistance on what I should do next? It should be noted that I don't have the faintest clue on how to do the 'adb push' operations I've read about.
TIA
PERI
Use my tool, just ignore the rooting stuff since I'm assuming you're already rooted.
Everytime the tab reboots during the tool, make sure to be hold down Volume-Down and cold boot into Android, then continue the script. Once it has flashed recovery you can close it, it doesn't need the root stuff.
Don't use ROM manager
ToD
Hi and thanks for the help and quick response.
I downloaded PERI and followed the instructions except for the part regarding SU as I already have it installed. For each reboot I ended up having to cold boot into linux.
Unfortunately, the final step where the .bat reboots while I hold the vol -, then hit vol +, gets stuck at the "Booting recovery kernel image" part and will not progress.
I'm not currently running ICS but gingerbread. I probably should have mentioned that earlier, sorry.
What should I try next?
Peri only works on ICS.
Now why on Earth are you running GB on the transformer??? Where did you even get a GB rom?
Do you mean Honeycomb?
Ooops (again)! Yes, you are correct. It was a Honeycomb ROM. An old version of Revolver.

whats your tf's serial number?
Hi,
The Model is TF101 and the serial starts with B60. Does that help? I know that there are several variants of the transformer out there and I'm not sure what the differentiating markings are.
Nvflash for Sbkv1 is now your best bet, since you have a b60 you can use it on windows fine, good luck :]
Search 'Nvflash unbricking released' and you'll find it.
NV Flash worked like a charm. I really appreciate it, I don't think I would have found that program on my own.

Bricked S8+..... i think cant access recovery

hey everyone, im new here, just got a Samsung s8+ last week. had it rooted and all working well until today, had problems so i went to reflash twrp and when was unticking auto reboot in odin i accidentally ticked "nand erase"..... and i didnt notice until it was too late.
Now i cant get into recovery mode, i can get to the download mode but it wont flash the twrp at all it keeps failing. all i get is a black screen with samsung logo when i try to start it up. i am downloading factory firmware as i write this and going to see if that'll flash. any help will be appreciated.
thanks in advance, hope this is the right place to post it.
Hey
If you can get to download mode,you just install the original firmware from smartswitch,I think you have that option to recover from that program,and install the original firmware.
Or just do it in Odin and find the firmware on SamM.
Lots of work for you,but thats the only thing I can come up with.
Then you have to root it again and everything with it.

How is it failing? Are you getting an error? Is Odin detecting your device?

No worry
You just have to install Microsoft visual c++ 2008 x86,after you have done that,no more errors in smartswitch.
Try that,and let us know
Long time since I used Odin now,but try the first thing first

Morning Mate,
Smart Switch (and KIES on Win 10) requires some old stuff to work. Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5582 My advice however would be to try and flash your carriers stock firmware with ODIN or if you want an easier way you can use KIES by doing the following -
- Install C++ 2008 SP1 from link above to get it to work on Windows 10
- Install KIES www.samsung.com/au/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/ - I'm in Australia so that's my closest but you can still get it from there no worries.
- Also select install 'unified driver' during install if you have not already installed Samsung USB drivers to your PC
- Fire up KIES and from the top menu select 'Tools' and from the drop down menu select 'Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation'
- Enter in your model number - for me it's SM-G955F (make sure model is all in CAPS or it will not work). Now it will present you with a S/N dialog box. This is the tricky part if your phone is bricked. Chances are you have not written down your serial number. You can get your serial number from the back of your phone towards the bottom in really small print, or you can get it from the box it came in from purchase if you happened to have kept that.
- Enter in the serial number and follow the instructions, it's easy as. This will install your stock firmware and you can start again. Provided there is no damage to the phone this method will always get you out of the proverbial as a last resort and it's faster than downloading firmware from updato.com or other places.
The fastest way is by using the SamFirm tool to download but it takes some knowledge and I have lost the link to where I got it (the link at XDA is dead now and refers you to updato.com). The method with KIES above will always work, is fairly fast and pretty easy for the newbies or experienced alike.
Hope this helps, let me know if you need any more assistance :good:
Thanks heaps mate, im also in australia too. have installed all the software and is updating and installing as i write this, all seems to be going well so far, thank you so much your a life saver i was starting to worry as wtf i could do with this brick haha i will keep you posted and let you know if i have nay problems. Thanks to everyone else for their help and contribution this forum is awesome. What would you recommend in regards to rooting the phone again use the twrp recovery and magisk-v14.0 root?
thanks again
I was just about to write a post about how it wouldnt work.... twice in a row it kept failing when it went to install and initialize... 3rd time lucky it ****ing worked! i have a stock phone now all working sweet. Thanks so much to everyone you guys are literally lifesavers!
LEGENDS! Happiest man alive right now.
