[Q] HELP unbricking my b70+ device please

Hi guys,
My eee pad bricked like 2 months ago and I tried really everything and the conclusion was just wait for ICS. So thats what I did
Now when ICS arrived for our devices I downloaded the original files from asus.com WW and US tried both. And copied first US version to my sd card(which is fat32) and named it EP101_SPUPDATE.zip (I bought my eee pad in the us, so I thought i need us version then) And yes I copied them to the root of my SD-card. so when I booted up with volume button down I saw the recovery text and pressed vol-up and entered recovery kernel. I see a android guy with a progressbar underhim and then it jumps to an android guy(green) with an white triangle with a yellow exclamation mark inside above the android man. and then nothing happens:S (also tried this with the WW update) So my question is what to do what to do
Am I doing something wrong? or is there something else I can do?
P.S. I tried NvFlash alrdy. (didn't work neither) cold-booting doesn't work howver wipe-date in recovery does work!. And my device got bricked when went from revolver rom to custom and forgot to reboot when I flashed the stock asus eee pad rom.
p.s.
when I boot into recovery i see this line;
US-EPAD-8.6.5.19-20111107. Not sure what it means

Did you extract the zip file from within the file you download or did you just leave it as is?
Also try renaming the file to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip instead of EP101_SPUPDATE.zip

Do you still have CWM Recovery installed or did you go back to stock recovery?
If you are using CWM Recovery still I think you can just use that to flash the update.
Also, users running 8.6.5.19 and they try to update to ICS are not having any luck, but if they do a manual update to 8.6.5.21 that works, then they can update to ICS. It appears that ICS will only want to update from 8.6.5.21.

Kay thanks, I'll try the .21 update

I guess im kinda doomed;s
I tried the .21 US and WW version now (extracted them) and named them EP101_SDUPDATE.ZIP (didn't work)
And ye, im still at stock recovery not at cwm;p

I have same problem...
How can I use nvflash with stock rom? Or something with APX mode?

First you have to determined if you have a device that is compatible with NVFlash.
Check your serial number to see what it start with. B60 and previous you'll be OK.
Some B7O will work, B8O and newer will not work with NVFlash.

Since you are on older version of android and havent updated to latest OTA release try universal root toolkilt v7.. follow the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185104

You need to extract the asus folder and copy that as well as putting the EP101_SDUPDATE.zip in the root of your MicroSD.
You could have a bad download. Try downloading again.

[Q] Restoring stock firmware

I'm running a custom ICS rom with CWM recovery but want to revert to stock so I can sell my Transformer. Is there an easy way to flash back to stock in one step?

You should search the forum for NVFlash...

NVFlash is not necessary to return to stock ICS. Just download official Asus firmware from the asus site and flash it like you would a custom rom. It will return you to stock firmware and recovery.

+1 To above, that's all you need to do.

I might be wrong, but it is said by many that official firmware zip cannot be flashed by cwm recovery until it is repackged for cwm. Wolf just
published a new way to root/unroot/degrade rooted and un-rppted TF:

You can flash the stock firmware from Asus via CWM. It will unroot and restore stock recovery.

baseballfanz,
Is this your experience?

Is this true? I read some "back to stock" guides in the past and gave up as it never looked so simple.

Agreed I'm interested in this as well as I'm giving mine to my dad and I don't want to have to worry bout flashing it a lot for him.

Ive just downloaded firmware from asus site put it on sdcadd and in cwm i tried it to flash, but no success update aborted or something similarafter opening update package
Edit: do not forget to unzip the package downloaded from Asud site before flashing!
It worked like a charm. After flashing in cwm it restarts it update apps as after rom update and then you have pop up that firmware update is avaible, the same as with asus ota

i can confirm that this is the proper procedure (because i did it just seconds ago literally)
1. download the firmware from Asus (http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=20&s=16&m=Eee+Pad+Transformer+TF101&os=32)
2. extract the zip in the zip.
3. copy the resulting zip file (the zip in the zip) on the sdcard (or micro sd if you are using roach's 3.2.0.1 like i was)
4. reboot in recovery, that is, shut down, then pwr + vol down until there is a prompt, then vol. up.
5. select apply update from sdcard, select choose zip, navigate to where you placed the zip file on your card
6. Flash it. (and cross fingers, never hurts)
7. normally it will work, then reboot the tablet using the reboot system now function
8. Once its rebooted, it will apply updates to application and a "warning/exclamation" sign will prompt you to install the firmware you just downloaded. install it.
9. once that is done, you will have reverted to stock firmware. leaving your transformer to feel like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eRd923m9go

After this is possible to see if transfomer was rooted or runned a custom rom? Might sound dumb, but i read some time ago (cant find where) about some "not so easy" procedures to return stock for warranty.

i can vouch for my TF being unrooted again. simply open ROM Manager and it should tell you right away that you need to be rooted.
an expert could confirm but im pretty sure that after installing ASUS's firmware all binaries themselves should be stock. after, you always have the option to factory reset the TF and that should clear any possible leftovers.

After having revert back to the stock firmware, is there a way where I can root the tf as I've applications that need a rooted rf to run.

In step 8, what is the firmware I need to install? Has not the update do the install of the tf101 firmware?

the tf will install the firmware you just install "for real". its the best i can say, i cannot really explain why a real expert could. im just a guy who followed indications
but i know that te TF will detect the firmware you installed in recovery and re-install it for itself and this time it will completely re-stock and un-root your TF.
oh and about re-rooting, if you stocked the TF, you'll need to search the forums here as you'll need to apply the same rooting techniques for an unrooted TF. best way to find out if you don't know is to install rom manager from the market. it'll tell you right away if you are rooted or not.

Download the latest version from Asus site.
Unzip the download file and you see another zipfile named US_epad-user-10.4.4.20.zip, copy this file to the root of your sd card (don't put it in any folder). Reboot your device, once device boot up, open up the notification and you should see the update, tab on this and it will update.

does not give me the option to install the 4.20.zip something still must be wrong

I encountered this error once. I was able to troubleshoot it, but I cannot remember very clearly what I did. It's probably because either 1) you have not unzipped the file (you need the zip file that's in the zip file you downloaded), 2) because there should be no spaces in the file name (and yet some have reported success when they renamed the file to contain a space where normally the underscore would be located; and 3) it should be located on the root of the microSD card-- no other location seems to work dependably.
If all three are OK, get back in here and well take the matter from there.

I had the same problem. here is how i solved it:
1- root you device
2- install Goomanager from the market and from the menu install open recovery script
3- power off and then boot to recovery (power + volume down)
4- once in in the recovery flash the update
good luck i hope that helps

TWRP is custom recovery instead of stock default recovery come with your tf700. It uses to flash rom/kernel etc.. You need to unlock your device to use twrp. You are no where near this step yet. Do you plan to unlock your device?

OK i got it without having to root it or anything have to re name the file to a certain name... but what asus has posted on there site with an 11-7 date is actually from October 26 ......WTF Asus

[Q] Rooted Stock ICS to JB or CM - A Little help Please

Hey everyone. Just wanted to say that I have used these forms a lot in the past with rooting my Droids and phones however I now have the Infinity and I need some advice on how to do the following... I know enough to be Dangerous when dealing with flashing etc on Android so I like to run things by people and get suggestions... So
Currently:
ROOT Original Stock Rom 4.0.3
Kernel - 2.6.39.4
Build - IML74K.US_epad-9.4.5.26-20120720
- Notes: When I first got this when released I used the only rooting option I could find which was some sort of auto command line script.
- I then Installed TWRP via GooManager
- I then UnLocked the Device with the Asus tool they released.
I did that months ago and haven't messed with it since... I have used it more and more lately and its slow in terms or response etc. I see that JB is now out for it. I started to look into CM I believe its called cyanogenmod 10 (it is really that good?) is out. I also see Stock Rooted ROMs.
Here is what I want to do.
1) I have looked and believe that I am able to apply the NVFlash patch so I cant brick my device. What does this actually do and will it mess with my abilities to use Recovery Mangers / Flash Roms / Kernels etc? ... Also if I update the build to a higher number will it take this away?
2) At the time TWRP was the ONLY option for me. How can I remove TWRP and get ClockWork on this? *note I dont care about anything on the device currently.
3) Is installing CM as easy as put the Zip on the SD card and then boot into CWM and install? -- Where can I get the OFFICIAL CM10 download for the infinity?
4) Kernel related - I know that stock kernels dont have the CPU control ability / and also some extras needed for wi-fi tether to fully function does CM come with its own kernel? or Do I have to get it Separately.
5) Basically There are to many guides and posts about what to do its confusing at this point.
I want to Wipe it / Get CWM on there instead of TWRP and Install CM. And if it is safe install the NVFlash.
I will await your guidance. Just past links to what guides to do in order.
Thanks!

As long as you don't upgrade your bootloader past 9.4.5.26, you can obtain the required files from your tablet using the procedure described at http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/ . What it does is described in the dev thread about nvflash - it does not mess with any abilities to flash stuff the normal way.
After you have created your files and stored in a safe place, you can always use them with nvflash, even if you upgraded your bootloader or even if you erased it. It's a nice low-level way to access the internal storage without requiring any installed bootloader, OS or recovery. Don't ever lose your blobs, they are the only way to enable nvflash.

1) So Once I follow that Guide I can update my Bootloader to anything even the newest .30 + and It will still be there and allow be to fall back if necessary.... Im on the last parts of the guide nvflash --resume --rawdeviceread 0 2944 bricksafe.img but do I run that in the FastBoot (hold down volume or) the APX (hold up) It didnt work with up trying down now..... Also is there a guide on how to actually Restore to a non bricked device using this?
2) fastboot flash recovery cwm.blob
--figured this out read next post!
*Of course im guessing that once this NVflash is installed its there no matter what I flash or return to stock ?

1) OK I managed to get NVflash installed and ran the last couple commands... Need to find the files to save off
2) I also managed to run the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to get CMW touch installed and that works..
3) Right now I have the 4.0.3 Stock Still... with the NVflash installed... The Kernel is: 2.6.39.4 and the Build is: 9.4.5.26-....
If I Download a Jellybean ROM or CM10 (isn't this based of jellybean) and Install it I can assume that I can wipe out all my data (which i want)... As for the Kernel / Bootloader .. What if it gets updated to .30 or above? Or That wont matter now that NVflash is installed... I guess basally is NVflash a 1 off... meaning that as long as u can get it installed it will ALWAYS be there even after the updates above to when you could NOT install it?

First save your files. Make backup copies. Post a list of the files that you saved if you are unsure - after you update, it's too late to get more.
Re-read this thread, the guide and the nvflash thread again, they should answer all your questions about nvflash.
To install a custom ROM that is based on JB (which is pretty much all of them), you need to install the Asus JB firmware first to get the latest bootloader. This will overwrite your custom recovery, but you already know how to restore it. Then you can flash whatever ROM you want.

Ok Files that I saved off are screen shot on the attachment... EDIT apparently im not allow to attach files... soo listed
* Also Added note. The driver pack that I downloaded from there site listed the device as a Samsung device in Device manager. However I was still able to enter APX mode and install NVFlash... Not sure if this is a good thing though.

I have read multiple NVFlash threads and I found * If you intend to use NvFlash please STAY AWAY from the 9.4.5.30 UPDATE ... Is this only to be able to install it?
If I need to update to the newest Firmware on Asus site wont this be above .30? Also What one on Asus site should I take. I see a ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T Firmware: V10.4.4.23 Only for US SKU (Android 4.1.1) I am in US so I figure that is the right one? Unless someone has a newer one. But will this wipe out NVFlash?
Am I able to update to a JB based rom without losing my NVFlash?

You also didn't "install" nvflash, you just created files so that you can *use* it when you need it. You will be able to use nvflash as long as you have these files, and as long APX mode works - since this is a very low-level mode, you cannot break it unless you have a hardware defect.

Next step if to get that downloaded and installed. ( I assume put onto SD then run the update in CWM ?)
*ALSO can a mod take my account out of this limited mode. I cant post links, or images etc. Thanks

Looks fine. Make safe backups of these files, then you should be able to recover from any software-induced brick in the future.
Ah, btw - you should also make a backup of partition 18, just in case. It contains the GPT and it's 524288 bytes. However that one should be identical on all devices (with the same storage size at least), so in an emergency case you could also use a backup from someone else - in contrast to bricksafe, factory-config and unlock-token which are specific to your device.

How would I go about doing this? what command do I run and from where?
Also was I correct about being able to Update to any build / firmware no matter what version as I always have the NVflash there because I did it before I was on .30
ISSUE
I downloaded and installed the Firmware update.. Installed it Via CWM it went well device was usable. But now I lost root and When I try to Boot to the recovery manager I it trys but then Fails and I get a Droid guy with a Red Triangle.
FIXED: Flashed CWM and then Installed the 3.1.3 Superuser you can download via CWM when normally booted.

Same environment as in the official guide (tablet in APX mode, etc.). From your PC, enter these commands:
wheelie --blob blob.bin
nvflash --resume --read 18 gpt.img

You need to read more carefully. The first question has already been answered in this thread multiple times. Also the issue with the lost recovery should not have surprised you, because I told you about it before.

The TF300T does not recognise the blob file

Hi, now I have 10.4.2.20 WW JB ROM and I want to flash the new 4.2 factory firmware to my TF300T (V10.6.1.8 WW version).
The extracted file named EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip is already on my SDCard's root folder. But the tablet does not recognise it, there is no triangle appearing... What to do?
My device is not unlocked or rooted. It is in factory state.
Thanks for help in advance!

If you enjoy custom ROM's, don't the firmware till kernel source is released and people get rom's out, but anyhow, you're gonna need to put it on an external micro sd or regular one if you have the keyboard dock. It wont work if it's on your internal.

The EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip needs to be renamed to WW_epad-user-10.6.1.8.zip.
You will then get the triangle notification for system update.
I have also posted a how-to upgrade or downgrade to any stock jb firmware

Thanks a lot!
After renaming the zip file everything worked well, now I have 4.2 on my tablet!
