Hi all,
Same Problems with 8.6.5.21-20111216
Can't use APX mode with this method

For now I guess we need to wait.. Unfortunately ASUS seems to be against rooting..

Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately, this upgrade automatically when i've connect the pad in wifi...
I've another question, is it possible to downgrade the firmware? Because it's impossible for new user to use Rom or to be superuser...

I flashed 8.6.5.21 in APX mode today first time - Brk's rootkit is no good, it fails 99% of the time to see the TF in APX Mode
Just grab a NVFlashable ROM like Prime, move the 3 images into the folder of the tabletroms unbricking tools replacing the 3 stock img's with custom rom, then run download.bat

what method are you trying to get into APX mode with?
Vol UP + Power button?
Plug USB cable to PC?

You have zero options for root. Stop trying and wait for a possible exploit to be found.

So i rooted my B50 .21 using Root ToolKit. APK mode does not make a noise on .21 open your device and printers and look out for it. simple as that then run the tool. it worked for me. HAPPY ROOTING

Sorry for the question but, where you see the B50 or B70 numbers??
Thanks

It is a part of the serialnumber from your tablet.
It is on a sticker at the bottom (where the 40pins connector is located) of your tablet.

how to downgrade .30 to root? do i have to?

Just got a TF300, it already came updated to .30. Ive spent the entire afternoon and evening trying to figure out how to root my darn tablet. Ive tried literally every method listed on this site. I tried to downgrade to .17 but my tablet refuses to accept it. Im still on .30 and I dont know how to downgrade? do I have to downgrade or is there a method to root the .30? I havent gotten to checking out roms yet but I will probably end up flashing to the stablest JB rom available. Thanks in advance

You can use sparky's root tool it works with all versions.

I had debugging enabled but spark didn't work for me either. I had to use the method in viperMOD.

Same thing I told him when he made a post on YouTube asking the same thing. You can't expect too much of a reply when you give the reader a vague description of whats going on. The more information we get, the better we can try to help him. I don't think he gets it.

Go into TWRP (recovery) if that's the recovery you're using, and click MOUNT. Make sure everything is checked and that its set to internal storage. Im going to hazard a guess, that it was your recovery, or you wiped your internal memory, as to why you were stuck at the Asus boot screen. What recovery are you using??

Odd issue with cwm for JB.

Ok I hope you all can help sort something out for me. I just got a refurbished TF300T a couple days ago. I unlocked it in ICS and then it forced the OTA of 4.1.1 on me. I had no problem getting ADB drivers in and flashed the jelly bean recovery. I rebooted into recovery and there was cwm. I tried flashing the rootzip that is out there but it did not work. I then tried to do a bakup and it failed. I then realized i could not see emmc only sd.
Any ideas.
I have a rooted modded nooktab so i am somewhat familar with these devices but i am stumped.
Thanks for the help

I'd try manually flashing the firmware and then flashing CWM again, or TWRP which some users will argue is much better than CWM.

Thanks for the tips. Yea in a tough spot. Not sure what to do. I will,search around. You think flashing the firmware will work. Should i flash stock recovery too.
Odd issue. Wonder why they did this?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda premium

Just read the post again if you are still on 4.1.1 the disreguard what i had mention theres probably away to fix which im sure some one can help but what i had talked about was the 4.2.1 jb update attempting to root on that is a no go. So just ignore that post. I'm on stock 4.2.1 but unlocked bootloader so can't help there cant go any further myself at the moment.
In my setup menu theres an option to add seperate users some seem to think that it encrypts the information so another person who has access under another user name cant see another person info. Sound logical to me but really messed things up for us.
Now still thats all just speculation no one knows for sure what the exact issue is with the 4.2.1 update is yet but best advice is to wait till it's figured out.

Reflashing stock img will flash back stock recovery, so I'd just do what I said, you should be good.

4822 should be a 5158N. If you are rooted, download a terminal app and flash the firmware. the 7038 firmware should be for the 5158n as well.

It only takes 5 seconds to remove the back cover and read the model off the dig ribbons. I'm not sure what the hang-up is. Wouldn't that be simpler? Flashing stock firmware doesn't necessarily restore TS firmware.

Dont stress yourself. Its easily fixed. Ill look around for 4822 and report back shortly.
Edit:
Ok im downloading a few roms. Hopefully its in one of those. In the mean time, check in /system/etc/firmware/touch and see if you have a 4822 in there. Also, flashing back to stock will not flash the system firmware for the digitizer daughter board. Go ahead and re-root while im downloading things as well.

Ok, looks like there are several other firmware in that folder. Your best bet is to flash them all one by one from your firmware folder until one works after rebooting.
Since there are 3 versions of digitizer, and there are 3 firmwares in the folder, logically one has to work lol
If you cant find them, ill upload them for you. Let me know.

I´d love to have them since I need to reflash my fw for the TS.
Changed my broken digitizer (5158N ) out for a new one (5158N ) but i need to flash the TSfirmware since my left side of the tablet only work sometimes.
Is it possible to flash this fw without root?

Ive only flashed from terminal, which required root. You also should be able to run it through adb. All of your stock firmware SHOULD be in /system/etc/firmware/touch and have the extention of .ekt
Change the location to directory of the firmware folder and run the firmware update command directly from there.
For all commands, dont include the quotes. Just type whats between the quotes.
Open terminal and type " su" and hit enter. Superuser should pop up asking to allow permissions if you have never run this command before. If you have, you wont see anything, but you will see " root " on the next line.
Next " cd /system/etc/firmware/touch " and hit enter
Then type " ls " and hit enter. You will see all the firmware available to flash
Finally update your firmware with the update command " touch_fw_update -u /system/etc/firmware/touch/whateverfirmware.ekt " and hit enter. Obviously you change out the whateverfirmware.ekt for the actual name of the file you want to flash.

Not rooted, didn´t think you culd root when you were on 4.2.1?
But hey, I´ll give it a shot :cyclops:

it ain't working :'( i can flash the first one but it is still the 7053 one and when i try to flash the other 2 it says this IAP tools is design for elan 1 chip sloution: error can't open source file
EDIT: after some tweaking at root is was able to flash the other two let's see what happens!
EDIT2: nvm when i try to flash it says ERROR: GetAckData fail! and at the bottom ERROR:execnum:0 th OLD IAP mode!!!!!! and the firmware doesn't update :'(

BTW i hate that there is no recovery that doesn't need to use the touch screen because i can't flash the firmware via recovery now because of that :\ i currently reinstalled the stock recovery is there a way i can use the "update.zip" method on this tab?

Thank you for this file, but is it possible for me to get it onto my TF300 without rooting it or anything else?
Remember I can´t get into settings to turn on "developer mode", "USB-debugging" or any of the other stuff that´s needed to get my tablet rooted.
Can I just place the fw-file on a memorycard and insert it and see if it wants to upgrade? Or is that a no go?
Waiting on a USB-OTG cable so I´m able to connect a mouse to get into settings but I won´t get it for a couple of weeks probably.

You are a bit too late mate I send my tablet back to Asus for repair!
