[Q] Serial number transformer pad ?

Hey ppl today i got my eee Transformer Pad BUT !! Now I was checking if I was able to root that thing... I only find on the internet ppl with a serial number that begins with B70/B80 or whatever kind of number, I have BB0 ... and I'm sure its a 2nd B instead of a 8 :S Anyone knows how to root my tablet ? Since the RazorClaw app doesn't work since I'm on Build Number HTK75.WW_epad-8.6.5.13-20110925.
If someone can help me I would appriciate it

Keep the tablet connected to the internet and you should be prompted to get the update. Took mine about 24 hours. Then I used Razorclaw and was extremely surprised at how simple it was to root...then used the other apk to install ClockWork recovery.
So, I guess until you get the update (or do it manually), play and get to know your new tab...as I did.

ah oke Thanks for the tip man ! will report back if something happens <3

Hmmmm the tablet was connected to the internet all day but sadly no update isnt there a other root method that I can use instead of razorclaw?

[Q] Firmware: V8.6.5.19

I have been trying to re-root my tf for quite a while now. Have had no success because I have one of the transformers that canot be rooted with Nacho (unfortunately).
I have tried all others as well and even had 3 times brought the transformer back to firmware 13 and tried to rooted.
The only time I manage to root was when I had the Firmware: V8.6.5.19 and therefore I need drastically to get that again.
If anyone have the zip I would be very glad to download it.
Thanks!
EDIT: I forgot to mention: Firmware: V8.6.5.19 WW

8.6.5.19 was pulled by Asus pretty quick because of the the exploit the devs
use to make RazorClaw work.
You can use 8.6.6.19 which is the TF101G ROM but it work for the TF101.

Once root is achieved you could use OTA root keeper to save your root and update to the latest correct firmware
for your TF.

Hej Baseballfanz,
thanks for the answer, I had been on that thread and check almost all the pages and only got multiload links which of course were down.
After your suggestion I went back there and then after checking all the pages I got the link on the page 27
Thanks again. Now I am once again rooted and with revolver rom.
I tried the OTA after rooting (of course with rootkeeper) but it didnt work. First it didnt allow the OTA or the installation with the .21 firmware (force install). So I installed CWRM and flashed the firmware .21 which worked but I couldnt resore root with the rootkeeper voodoo.
I ended up giving up from Asus stock rom and went back to Revolver which is anyway my favorite custom.
Thanks again (already clicked on thanks button)

If someone (everyone) could stop using multiupload.com, then I think I might be successful in re-rooting my TF too. Same boat, I am one with a TF that nacho does not work on. And every 8.6.5.19 I find is uploaded to multiupload.com and that site will not load in the US anymore...at least not via Comcast/Xfinity.
So if someone would kindly upload it to anyplace other than multiupload.com, that would be so very VERY awesome.
Thanks!

f you wish to re-root your device from 8.6.5.21 you will need to get 8.6.6.19, not 8.6.5.19 BTW, it is very hard to find I have been looking myself to do some tests but that firmware version has been removed from Asus' site even.

Yeah Asus yanked 8.6.5.19 pretty quick aftr RazorClaw was released.

But there is no 8.6.6.xx for US transformers...not even .21 is 8.6.6.xx on the Asus site.
Yeah...8.6.6.xx is for the TF 101G only. I don't have the G version.

yes it's for the TF101G but it will work on the regular TF. You are only using it to gain root with RazorClaw.
After which you can flash a rooted stock rom made for the tf or any of the custom rom.

Just use the WW 8.6.6.19 to get root. After that flash a rooted US firmware.

I rooted my tf101 (serial bco) successfully with nachroot and adb from firmware 8.6.5.21.

Ok...Going to try this.
Just so I am clear:
Do I just need to push the file to /sdcard properly named and do the PWR/VOL + method?
Do I need to do the PWR/VOL - to Wipe Data as well?

Still no root. I followed the instructions exactly, and even several times using a variety of the other suggestions. I have both WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip and EP101_SDUPATED.zip located in the Root of both my /sdcard and /Removable/MicroSD...and all I get is the Android with Yellow Triangle.
My TF101 is the B60 model, I have had it rooted before unrooting it in anticipation for the now delayed ICS update. With the US v8.6.5.21 update on it, there seems to be no way to root it.
I guess I am SOL.

Use NVFlash or try the RootTool kit

So I can NVFlash that Update file or do I have to extract it and make all the .img files etc.

It would have to be an NVFlash compatible ROM.
Here's some stock ROM plus some of the custom ROM such as Prime
has NVFlash version.

I've done this already too...and still can't get Nacho or Razor methods to work and still can't get 8.6.5.19, the update still goes directly to .21.
I feel like we are going in circles here.
Am I seriously the only B60 owner with this problem? Is there not a single other US version B60 model owner that has downgraded and then successfully rooted their TF101?

NVFlash didn't work?

[Q] Vipermod root tool TF101 ICS?

Hi i was wondering whether the Vipermod root tool works with the TF101 on ICS. I got the update today but OTA Rootkeeper did not work for me and so i lost root access, along with the ability to restore my backups.

Or try mempodroid, used on ICS on prime TF.
Don´t know if it still works.

Thank you. Your hint helped me find out that that vipermod still does work for transformer.

I wasn't able to get ViperMod to work on my TF101. Did you do anything special? I enabled USB debugging on the TF101, but when I run the script, it fails to push superuser and su.

I downloaded the latest version of Vipermod and the first option is the one that i used; it's for ICS build 9.xxxxxx.11. I used that option after enabling usb debugging and it rooted it fine. Other users have reported similar successful results even though it was made for the prime, and my TF101 has not blown up or anything. Hope that helps. Oh and make sjre that Asus sync is turned off and try reinstalling the transformer drivers if none of the above works.

Indeed Vipermod worked fine here with option 1 as well

Ahhh, I was using the wrong version of ViperMOD.
I'm root-toot tooting with a TF101 running ICS.
Thanks!

Can you give me the link to vipermod thread?

Use pure mempodroid method and worked. TF101 WW ICS Rooted

Well i believe the first option in the latest version of vipermod is based on mempodroid; vipermod just makes it a lot easier to root.

Has anyone tried vipermod on asus slider?

i rooted last night my TF101 ICS with ViperMode method and work 100%.

At first I thought Rootkeeper worked, everything showed as rooted and TI worked fine, but it wouldn't prompt for anything new that needed root. So I had to re-root with vipermod, but that did not work for me at first. It would not launch the adb server. I issued adb devices, that launched the server, then reran the bat and then it worked for me with option 1.

[Q] No Root after repair

Hey guys.
Here is my story i hope you can help me: I am from Germany and got a B8O Tab. I had rootet it with Razorclaw and installed CWM and some Custom Roms.
One Day my left headphone speaker was dead. So i had to return my tablet to Asus. I unrooted it with ViperMod. It worked perfect. I was back on stock without root and CWM. I could root again and unroot with Vipermod (tested)
Now i got my Tablet back. It wasnt configurated so i know that they had put an fresh Rom installation on it. But they did the WW 8.6.6.23 on it. NOT the DE Version.
End of the Story is, now i cannot root anymore. I tried ViperMod and Nachoroot (manuell) and both stop by the exact same point. After the second reboot "id" has to be 0 but it is something like 2000.
Now i cant root (God knows why) and cannot put the DE Version on it. I think the root doesnt work because it is an German Tab with the WW Version now.
Have someone an Idea how i can solve this problem? Just want root back so i can use custom roms again.
I'm having the issue. "vid=2000<shell> gid=2000<shell>" every time.

Are u sure that its the same tablet? I mean if it had a fresh rom it could bee the new patch that makes rooting harder...

Update to the official ICS that you can download from the asus website then root it with ViperMod

I thought of that too but the problem is i have an TF101G and this one doesnt have IC until now. The IC Updates are all for the Wifi only version.
But if IC is avaibled for the TF101G can i just install the German Version over the WW?

ViperMod should work on the G also. If you're still on HC i think option 3 is what you choose

ViperMod worked before i send the transformer to Asus. I used it to get back to Stock and unroot. I tested it if i can root again and it worked perfectly. But after i get it back from Asus it has the WW Version instead of the DE (German) and now Vipermod isn't working anymore.
I think it has to do something with this WW Version but im not sure of it.
Any Ideas?
I'm having the issue. "vid=2000<shell> gid=2000<shell>" every time.

So i managed to go back to the German Version. First success!
But root still isnt working. I really dont know why.

Hello,
A collegue here at work have a TF101 B70, and he told me he tried every available root methods with no success.
I told him to bring his Transformer, and we tried my method documented here:

It worked !
Don't know if it will be usefull for anyone but I felt like I had to announce it.
Please report me if it works for you too, and which version of FW and S/N you have.
Thanks,

With nvflash being available for all TF101 devices, we will always have root, no matter what.

Doesn't the nvflash method unlock the device and void the warranty ?

No it doesn't, since the bootloader was cracked and not officially unlocked by ASUS, there's no real way for them to tell. It does no permanent change to your bootloader or APX mode. Nvflash for sbkv2 is in my signature, however, the Tf101G and slider have different bootkeys which have yet to be cracked. Those will have to continue to use exploits. My PERI tool currently works on all devices and firmware (and supposedly the next update) and is a one click root option. You can check it out in my signature.

No.
Rooting voids your warranty too, by the way.
