I bought a used transformer this past weekend and its already running prime overclocked to 1.6ghz. My question is how do I return to stock so I can install the icecream sandwich update when it become available? Every other android device I've owned has had a one click restore of some soft but I can't seem to.find anything here like that. If someone could please point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

i believe first everyone will tell you to search extensively about your topic and the answers are available.
i will however help ya out with the specifics of what your lookin for.(and just so you know the devs will probably get you ICS before asus does or very shortly thereafter, so you might want to consider your options once you do your research)
your going to wanna look up the differences in device serial number versions the pre b70 versions and the b70+ versions. look into the sbkv1 and sbkv2(secure boot key). its very likely yours is a pre b70 which for now is probably good. the later versions have a locked bootloader and the more powerful tool nvflash doesnt work currently.
i belive yours is older (but be sure!!!) and should be able to utilize the nvflash method of unrooting/unbricking. this is what you wanna reasearch....
im in the earning process myself and want to better the transformer community anyway i can and im a firm believer that knowledge is power...............but also comes with responsibility
if you have questions by all means ask but you really should spend some time researching your device and this community and exhaust your intelligence before calling on someone elses....i say this only because many more experienced members will really get on you for asking questions you can answer your self... youve gotten this far your on the right track.
beyond that i will glady help anyone i can and im learning as well so im hungry for the info i guess...
Anyone see what im saying as wromg or misguided plz let me know....
Yeah mine is the original purchased in may.

Hello,
I agree with the question. How can I return to the Stock ROM?
At the Moment i have the Revolution HD on mein TF.
I search, but i cant find the answer
thx for your help
Heck the easiest way I know of to flash to stock is nvflash a stock ROM. Just did that to send back my TF for an RMA, No trouble at all, Snag a stock ROM from Asus website (or here on XDA). Search nvflash and you'll be good to go, Very straightforward process, really.

Thanks for your answer.
I rootet my Pad with Brks_rootkit_v7.1.
I think this program was made a backup from original stock rom befor i rootet my pad. Is this correct?
Can i use Brks_rootkit_v7.1 to become to original stock?
thx

Yep, if you have a backup from your stock made by brks rootkit 7.1 then you can put your tablet back to stock rom.
If you don't have a backup stock rom, then go to tabletroms.com and search in the forum for asus transformer nvflash unbricking tools, this is a tool from zerofeel. This solutions works really well and I use it to keep getting back to original stock rom, before I put a new rom and kernel on my tablet.
Good-luck with it and remember use it at your own risk.
But nvflash doesn't work with b70+, is there a guide to go back without nvflash? Besides that, i got the latest DE Firmware and i want to have a possibility to go back to stock before i root..just in case...is there any way?
I think the answer is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19339153&postcount=36
(did not try this)
I have a transformer TF101 running on stock ICS(US), trying root it but unable with any of the existing methods as I have a B90.. As per my understanding many of tablet owners with B70 and all B80 and B90 owners are in the same boat... Is there anyone who figured out how to root these tablets? I hate stock ICS as there are many bugs and frankly I'm surprised at ASUS releasing this kind of OTA update..!!!
I have asked brk(maker universal toolkit v7. 1) he said he's unable to help and told me to find some other way (razorclaw r nachoroot).... So I will be happy if some one will help me here and I'm sure many others will appreciate the help.
Before anyone can say something "I'm not a n00b no I know what's happening with rooting"...
I had rooted my tablet when I hah HC 3.2 but I unrooted it as I thought I won't get OTA update of ICS (well I was a fool).... Hey in my defense I was itching for ICS... :-D
Thanks

Hello,
I've searched on the forum but I haven't founded a post which will answer to my problem.
I have an asus eee pad transformer TF101. It's a B70 and i'm on ICS. So I would like to root it and install ubuntu on dual boot. Is it possible ? Can you give me a (simple) tutorial because i'm new on android.
Thanks!asus ee
I second this question, but for a B90. I'm not new to rooting android devices but the forums are a mess and I don't have time to dig through hundreds of pages looking for clues to the correct way. Anybody who's been keeping up on the transformer scene and can post a link or two to the relevant guides, I'd appreciate it.
The easiest way to root is with vipermod which can be found in the transformer prime section. Use option 1 to root.
Ubuntu is much more dificult especially on b70+ because of the locked secure boot key but it is still possible. I believe the tutorial is in the general form but i am not quite sure. This can easily cause an unrecoverable brick so be warned
Hi!
So, I have a TF101G B80 and i use to read the forum and i have some doubts...
Ultimately I want to put linux on my transformer, and I want to know what is the safest and the best method to do so.
My device isnt even rooted, because i never fully understand the stuff about SBKv1 and SBKv2(that i suppose i have).
Sorry about the question, but somehw the dispersed info about this through the forum inst very clear to me =/.
Thanks
Edit: Btw, how is the performance of linux distros running on the transformer?
Noob question here,
So I found this: http://docs.kali.org/armel-armhf/kali-linux-on-galaxy-note
I am curious if there is anyway to port this over to the tf101? Also, I know there is Ubuntu that can be run with a mount-loop.zip and such, is that the same thing they are doing here?
Thanks!
