Im sorry if you get this alot but I'm very confused on all your development posting on how to root my Asus TF101 build # 8.6.5.9 Android - 3.2
I was about to do BRKS root tool kit but I'm not sure I'm not new to rooting having a Droid incredible, atrix, and LG Thrill .. but honey comb and being a tablet I feel uncomfortable with just going to town on rooting.
My main reason is o.c'ing my kernel and I really want this to feel faster my phone beats my transformer with ease.. I'd like to play some game that ive bought on other devices. Why is my fav game modern combat 2 on Acer a500 but isn't on this or the thrive..?
So if y'all could help brother out with my questions I would love to do this asap

First thing you need to find out is what the serial number is. If it's below B70, then you can root it, if it's B70 you may be able to root it, if it's B80 or up, presently you can't root it.
It says S/N B60*******
Is this a good thing?

What would you recommended rooting method and Rom for first timer I'm going to wait to root till I get some good answer like I mentioned before I'm not gonna just dive right into it till i have more time for research ect.

Umm, honestly, I think the most straightforward one is the linux universal root. I used it for my b5, and it worked exactly as it should.
I tried it won't let me go to a desktop I've tried the Ubuntu w/script method but couldn't get it to boot past showing me the thinking mouse pointer
So I will try the other way I see a YouTube video on rooting the 3.2 and below so.. i shall see when I do it tomorrow
Thanks for the imput

use nvflash together with prime 1.4 rom it worked for me when i failed to root and wont boot at all...
Brks worked thanks I've tried all the 3 popular(stable) roms and liked revolver alot but wifi would take some times 5minutes to load so I'm on prime 1.9 and like it alot!

Yea it worked good I used an older version he has worked very hard on a new program for windows but unfortunately it did not work with my pc but his older bluescreen script did and I like my tf101 I just wish gameloft made games for it since it basicly the same thing as iconia a500.. I have all game bought just no way to play them..

DRM effing up your gameplay... gotta love it...
Yea it is and I've been in love with android but I'm seeing it becoming more n more strict as it gets older like its nasty counter part apple..

I have used the method on the thread below to root then unroot...install latest version of 3.2 and then to re-root again using the bootable CD method.

If I had been on a custom rom I might have had a different experience..then again maybe not.
I don't use one and not interested in overclocking ...maybe later as it gets older but my phone never showed much difference by doing so..... perception. If I played a lot of games my perception might be different.
So great to see another update with many bug fixes, I notice one of them is better suspend outcome, in your known issues post you state:
"Sometimes wakes from suspend by itself (usually when suspending via the screen timeout)"
Does shutting off the screen manually still result in it occasionally waking too ?
Also Wifi, does that break no matter how it suspends, manually or timeout ?
Cheers
Yes and yes to both questions
Just it seems that the nvidia ventana drivers work quite well because the build is smoother than before
I'm impressed with this build, the setup is smoother, the gApps work for the most part, i am tinkering with SD card mount currently to see if I can fix it

Thanks, very tempting to flash this again now more of it works... trying to convince myself that setting this back up for the 100th time will not be as painful as it was the first 99 times
Do we have a way to restore our App Backup's made with Honeycombs App Backup App yet ?
Yes, you can do it with titanium backup

Have you tried to reinstall the app on ICS yet? Alot of the apps that I have on HC usually run on ICS. I'm not sure if that particular one will install though. You may have to run it through a deodex, and try to install it via adb.
Did you find the workaround for the Wifi glitch stable?

up and running no problem, booted back into recovery fine, everything seems smooth. quite happy to run with this as i only use my tf for creating sigs and browsing the web / listening to music. Trying to find a screen capture app that works on this so i can show it off but the one i used took a capture and instead of the rom build details i got a recovery type screen but the writting was in green. kinda cool but obviously of no use lol
only question for me is: can future ics based roms just be flashed via recovery as normal?
i can jump back to h/c based roms from ics on my sgs2 via recovery no problems but im aware of hardware differences etc.
all apps from titanium backup running fine for me.

If you are already at ICS then yes, unless Paul or whomever decides that it's better to wipe first. Just remember, the TF doesn't flash the kernel (luna, spelling-- he he he) so you have to flash it separately to get back to HC. Otherwise a good nandroid should work just fine to return.

It may not work.... The ICS port on my phone won't let it open. I'll look into it for the TF...

you need a video player from the Market. I use MXPlayer. Works just fine.
Anyone with Youtube issues needs to download and install Flash from the Market. YouTube is working fine on my tab after flash install.

Youtube app just closes when i select a video to play. Youtube.com in browser with flash just freeze after it has buffered.
im wondering....since the xoom and galaxy tab both share many features as the tf101, and the xoom and gtab both have stable cm9 builds... would we be able to "steal" some parts from those roms and make a port or something?

Try reinstalling, or rebooting a few times. I just watched my favorite Russian from fps Russia. Porn is working with flash too.

Gtab is a completely different board. So no. Xoom has a bunch of different parts that require different drivers, so, no on that too, unless you want to bork your tablet.

Thanks for the reply, I will give it a try. How about removable media sd cards etc, are you able to get those to work.

I know I'm going to sound like a noob but I don't have any experience with samsung devices, I have spent most of my time with HTC, Motorola and Apple. I have spent 3hrs today searching and just keep getting more and more confused. The problem I'm having is phone is SLOW, I have never had a problem with a stock version of a phone like I have with this one. If I could possibly root I could just possibly remove some apps causing low memory and phone lag.

1 - does root come with ROM
2 - does CWM come with ROM
3 - I heard there was another program to use to update other than the Kies app? What is the name of the app?

Hi
You really should use a custom ROM.
You need to have a custom kernel to get root, CWM and the ability to flash any ROM you want.
Use Heimdall one click method or odin (via the forum stickies) to get the kernel.
Once there just flash any SGS4G ROM other than CM7 which is still under construction and uses a different system.

I've taken a long, winding, occasionally interrupted road to rooting my Xoom 3G and by way of the "ROM Manager" app managed to get EOS 1.0 on there. It's clearly ICS and seems fairly stable, if not very stable. The problem with all of this is I never really felt like my brain was absorbing everything I was doing so I almost feel like I accidently rooted and flashed my Xoom, or watched myself do it. I'd like to flash more and better ROMs; I'd like to play around with different recoveries; I'd like to back my stuff up like a mature adult; I want to root my other devices; I want to do all these great things, but don't feel like I've really learned enough do anything. I don't even know if I could redo what I've already done without messing something up. Please, make me not dumb!
well first off always make a backup just incase.... but since youve got a custom rom installed , installing another rom is easy.
download the rom you want to flash boot into recovery , make a nandroid backup, then install the rom youve downloaded, id recommend eos's jb rom its awesome, pretty straight forward as youve done the hard part already,
other devices i cant comment as their all different for rooting and installing recovery etc, but once youve got recovery installed its same procedure for installing a rom, but always do plenty of reading and be sure what youre doing,

Thanks for the quick reply. More questions. What is nandroid and how do you back it up? Where do I find a complete list of Xoom ROMs (or at least the jb one you mentioned)? I always hear about CM -- have they done anything for Xoom? Do I need an sdcard anymore now that I'm rooted? What are some essential apps?

@wesamothman Thank you for the link. So I'm on the right track with eos. That jb update sounds very appealing, but which one should I grab for my US 3g Xoom?

I can't seem to get the url to work, but even if I find it -- I have a US 3G Xoom -- will it work, or will I have to stick to ICS until I upgrade to 4G?
Links seem OK, but yea, they are EU versions.
On that related thread, please ask if that ROM will work on your US device although I believe it will.

I am looking for a kernel i can use with the stock rom for my tab 2. Prefrably one that supports loop devices. I am familiar with roms,mods etc., and kmow how to install them. However i am new to the tab 2 and cant isolate any info directly pertaining to what i am looking for. Thanks.
