Out of curiosity, does anyone have a straight answer as to what WW stands for and second, a straight answer as to any harm I come across by temporarily flashing a WW 8.6.5.18 update to my US tab for rooting before reflashing a custom rom back on it. Any help in this would be appreciated as my searches are turning up dead ends! Thanks forum peoples!
WW = World wide. As for flashing on a US tablet I don't know.

In attempting to root, I ended up putting 3.01 on the Xoom by accident because I had the 'Stuck at Motorola logo' problem. Now I'm back to the Xoom desktop, but I have an older version of the OS and the OTA update won't work. I want to get back to my 3.2 glory and I don't care so much about rooting anymore.
So if anyone has any tips to help me, I would greatly appreciate it. I've searched around but I can't find the answer to this one.
Xoom
3.0.1
Kernel: 2.6.36.3-g2a4197e
[email protected] #1
HWI69
But I know I had a different Build Number all the way up until I had the Motorola logo stuck screen.
Thanks In Advance!

If you are completely stock and unrooted, you you should get the OTA updates. Being unlocked is OK, so don't relock, because if you decide to root later, unlocking again would cause you to lose all your data.
THIS THREAD DOES NOT TELL YOU HOW TO ROOT YOUR DEVICE, but rather that a root does not exist for this build yet
Long time lurker, first time poster. So please be gentle.
After spending the better part of a few hours searching for a way to root my brand spanking new eee Pad Transformer TF101G, i've found that there IS no simple way to root it (just yet).
This thread is to prevent others from going on the same wild goose chase I did
Product details:
Name: Asus eee Pad Transformer TF101G
Android ver: HC 3.2.1
Build: HTK75.TW_epad-8.6.6.15-20110930 (shipped direct from Taiwan, so Taiwanese build)
There are a few threads in XDA (well, at least one) that refer people to the "Universal Root Toolkit v7.1" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185104) thread specifically for 8.6.6.15, but this is wrong. This thread is only for 8.6.5.x, so dont bother.
The silver lining here, for those of your brave enough, is that the "Android Revolution HD" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245892) thread claims to work on 8.6.6.15, and it comes with su/root. But personally, id rather keep my stock ROM and just get root.
EDIT: Not sure if you require root to flash a ROM, if this is the case then I guess we are our of luck... can someone clarify please?
EDIT: There are many threads that mention B70 or B80 or similar. I assumed this was part of the build number and that mine was not one of these builds. In another thread I saw this is actually the first few characters of the serial number. So for those who, like me, found that a lot of the posters in other threads simply assumed this as common knowledge; then I hope this thread clears it up a little.
BTW, my device is a B90. Because of the above revelation, this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1241380) and this page (http://androidroot.mobi/2011/08/26/b70-and-beyond/) are now relevant to me.
So, the waiting begins...
You can make 100 thread like this and someone will still post asking about rooting their B70-1/2+ TF
I have the same model and firmware. The TF101G 3G enabled models may be a special case since they use a third book key (SBK3).
Waiting patiently.
Let me know If I can can be of any assistance in finding a solution.
I have a rooted HTC phone and miss the additional functionality on my tab .
Here here, same setup as you man...
Lets hope theres a solution pronto!!
Cheers for now

I recently picked up a TF300TL off my local craigslist for $200.00. I've searched here as well as Google a lot and have not been able to come up with anything from someone who has installed Jellybean on a US TF300TL. Is there any custom rom that will work? How about root? I've found several threads but they all have warnings about it being untested on the TF300TL.
I'd just like to get Jellybean on here and am looking for some type of guide or walkthrough that could help me minimize the risk of bricking it, especially since it appears that the TF series has some specific steps that are required when updating.
Thanks!

The manual that shows how to flash is there also.
I have recently been looking into upgrading the Android on my ASUS TF300TL. I have a US SKU TF300TL, however I flashed the WW SKU to upgrade from 4.1.1 to 4.2.1. It works alright, but because the specs are a little limited o the system, I wanted to look for a leaner, faster ROM. Enter my search. All I find on the developmental forums are TF300T ROMs. I also find many people asking a similar question to mine: why not one for the TF300TL/TG. And whenever anyone asks about the TG/TL ROM, everyone just says "ASUS stopped support so it can't be done." Obviously, though it can, since ASUS also stopped factory support for the TF300T at 4.2.1, yet there are 4.4 ROMs out there.
The other part of the argument is the TF300T ROMs will work, but you lose cellular connectivity. I purchased the TL version specifically for the AT&T support. I have my tablet mounted in my patrol car and use it every day while patrolling my county.
So what to do? What I (think) I know is there are two parts to controlling the radio: the baseband and the RIL (radio interface layer). As I understand it, The baseband is the firmware for the radio modem. It is the instructions for the function on the network per se. Now the RIL is the translator between the OS and the modem. The OS wants to access the cellular network for internet or updates, but doesn't know how to make the modem work, so the RIL translates and gives the instructions in a form the modem understands. I know this is gross over simplification, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
So the issue is making the baseband and RIL information carry over to the newer OS. I found the RIL (I think) information in the source code Kernel for the last stock ASUS 4.2.1 upgrade for the TF300TL. I have attached this entire directory. So my question is, is there a DEV who can help me find the baseband information on the tablet? And if so, how can we include this information in a ROM for the TF300TL or TG?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Bueller...? Bueller...?
So I was thinking about this. Maybe instead of working from the ground up, there is a better solution. The Tf300T Rome work on the TL/TG versions. What if someone could patch the necessary RIL/Baseband information into a patch for an existing ROM? Could this be done?
Interesting
BUMP for huge interest
I know ASUS is coming out with the TF303 series. This will probably get left behind, but I see so much development on otger devices. I know this device is kind of niche because not everyone needs/wants LTE, however any help would be awesome. If needs be, I would sendmy tablet, to the right developer, to assist with the process. TIA
hello, is there any stock rom for this tablet bough in China? While upgrading (the officially way lol), it got bricked. I have found one thread with link to russian lenovo site with plenty of firmwares (http://lenovo-forums.ru/files/category/49-прошивки-lenovo-a10-a7600/), but it seems no one is supporting the SIM for calling as in description. I am very grateful for any help (friends device, right?). If trying to get into recovery menu, it writes "wrong order".
Also how to put new fw there? Do I need special tool as a Odin, or is it some kind of direct upgrade from SD card? Thx.

Hi Wakizashis
Apologies for the late reply. I can see you're having a hard time finding any help. You can bump your other thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...k-firmware-t3316083/post65352270#post65352270 by posting in it every 24 hours to bring it back up to the top. Hopefully you'll find someone who knows the answer.
Hello,
solved the issue. Another version of flashing tool worked with some obscure version of firmware.
