[Q] nachoroot suddenly fails with same firmware

At first nachoroot rooting worked fine on my ASUS eee pad transformer tf101 with a B50xxxx serial with firmware 8.6.5.21(WW) and I installed CWM and made a full system backup with it.
As a test I used NVflash (APX mode) together with firmware 8.6.5.13(WW) and that worked but it erased CWM.
I let it auto update (OTA) to 8.6.5.21 again but now it refuses to do the nachoroot so I can't install CWM and can't restore my backup
I'm getting the 'cannot create /data/local.prop: permission denied ...' error
EITHER I'd need firmware 8.6.5.19 so I can use Razorclaw one-click-root. Does anyone have that for me ? OR how could I restore CWM with NVflash ? Any help is appreciated !

Look here, it show how to get 8.6.6.19 to use RazorClaw

Probably easier if you root with this method and flash CWM recovery

You need to make sure asussync is up and running and synced before you can do anything. Just keep pressing try again.

THANKS ! It updated fine and I could then use the Razorclaw tool to get root and then install CWM and then restore my backup.
I had been googling for 8.6.5.19 maybe that is why I couldnt find it. There has only been a 8.6.6.19 (3G version) ?

Any root that works on the stock new 9.2.1.24 WW?

Never rooted my TF101.. But now need root to be able to install an important app..
I have searched the web and didnt find any info for the new 9.2.1.24
So is there any working root?
Thanks

If you have a serial number that starts from earlier B70 and below, use BRK's root toolkit.
Do a search here; I've always used this to root my B60 regardless of the firmware version I have.

Where did you find it? At asus website I see us, cn and tw, but no ww.
Today a new .21 showed to de devices, but still no .24 ww.

Hmm.. I live in Swe.. And got .24
.24 is WW and they written about it in the ota changelog info

Here in France, I got the update late last friday.
I think it'll take some time to get widely distributed.
I'm interested in a rooting solution for my C10 though (never rooted this TF101 before), but I'm not stressed about that.

I couldn't use any root exploit when I upgraded to .24. I bricked my device when I accidentally flashed the wrong kernel on my B70 (gotta clean out that MSD Card), so I got lucky when I was able to get into APX and flash .17, root it using ViperMod (using option number 1 for the tf201), then used Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, upgraded to .21, used VOTA Rootkeeper again to reestablish root (and then used Titanium Backup to fix, as it indicated there was an error with the folder structure), then upgraded to .24 and again, used VOTA rootkeeper and Titanium backup to fix.

Have yoy tested this on the .24?

I used Vipermod to root, Voodoo to protect/restore root and Titanium backup for insurance. Everything worked just fine after .24 upgrade, no issues.
However, there's a noticeable increase in speed. Did anyone else have the same experience with rooted, stock units?

As long as you have CWM can't you just root through that?

Op update? Have you been able to root?

You can root latest with my PERI tool, or using Nvflash.

I recommend this process Too...

This process is the only one that asures a root on .24, been doing it for some friends with TF101 tablets.

you can use peri i think it is the easiest wayn to root

If I have stock, do JB update? (I want root and NVflash in future)

Well, all stuff in title.

OK, if you plan to stay on stock the rest of your life then just do the OTA upgrade, however, if you going to mod your tab, then couple things you have to do first and they are very important as it will be your life saving some day.
1. Root and Unlock your device and install latest CWM (not twrp, this one will not work once you on JB)
2. Use NVflash tool to make a backup of your bootloader (very important, life saving).You can not do this step once you on .30 so you are one of a few very lucky person here.
3. Install Voodoo OTA root keeper to temporary save root and restore root after the upgrade.
3. Do the upgrade to .30 then JB
Following the below link for detail instruction for everything).

Can I install recovery not using ASUS tool??
Should I do root first before ASUS tool unlocking??

No need to use Asus unlock tool if you just want root. If you want to flash cwm, custom rom/kernel, root while in JB, then you do need Asus tool to unlock your device first.

Interesting, most others have reported that Motochopper no longer works with .10.

Oops! Just noticed that although motochopper pushed supersu and it was launching, root is not working

Yeah, that is interesting.Must be a minor change I reckon but who knows until we see a change log.

Yes they occasionally do post them.

So has anyone yet figured out a benefit to this update other than killing motochopper (benefit if you're into locking down the world for no good reason, of course)?

I read the following on transformer forums...
"Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper v2.0.3 preserved root. Did a temp unroot before installing the upgrade then restored and all root needing apps e.g. Titanium are happy."

Is the manual update available anywhere for the US SKU? I tried to download it from the Asus support website but the file is just completely missing.
I screwed up OTA updates/unlocking somehow when trying to revert to an earlier version so I could reinstall root. By the time I was frustrated enough to finally unlock it, now it won't talk to Asus servers and I can't unlock it.

I can confirm I have Rootkeeper, unrooted before the update as I do all of them, then after the update was able to restore root with no issues. All rooted apps are working fine.

Even the kernel source is already up. The only change in the kernel is that they fixed the bug in the framebuffer that was exploited by Motochopper (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255491 for details).

Is there any information on what this new update is supposed to be for?

How I installed the latest update on my unlocked Asus
I downloaded the update from Asus.com and extracted the zip file.
I used twrp to flash the update which when rebooted gave a stock rom, recovery and no root. I then then entered fastboot mode and flashed twrp and backed up my stock unrooted rom. I then flashed my backup of Cromi.X 5rc2
I hope this helps people who like me want to install the latest update from Asus

Sure, that method works - but why would you want to do it?
You are replacing your custom rom/recovery with stock just to replace that with a custom rom/recovery/kernel.....??

Hello i temp unroot with ota root keeper in .8 after update .10 i don't see icon RESTOR Anyone have this problem ?
My root is totally failed ? (i root it with motochopper in .8)

Another confirmed case OTA RootKeeper worked.
The first step was I re-enable all the stuff I had disabled. I then used Titanium to make a good backup just in case. After backup completed, I rebooted just to have a clean screen. Went in OTA RootKeeper and do the temp. unroot. Download the update and install. Let the tablet reboot itself and used OTA to restore root.
This was the first time I had a smooth OTA update. The last several messed up (every time) I had to do the full flash to make the tablet useable.

[Q] Downgrade to root??

Hello,
I am attempting to root my Asus Transformer TF700T specs:
Build number: JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801
Kernel version: 3.1.10-gbla9af5
Android version: 4.2.1
This is day three and I have learned much...so thank you all. As I understand it, I need to downgrade to ICS correct? From there, a simple Motochopper, or something similar should work to root this thing right? Or am I off my rocker. From there I hope to have the capability of over-clocking.
Please. A helping hand through this operation would be greatly appreciated. My goal only is to simply over-clock the processor speed 40%. Nothing fancy otherwise. My wife is viciously angry with the "lag" of the tablet and I hoped to do something like over-clocking it.
Thank you all for your important time,
Regards,
Kenjistarr

To root you only need to downgrade to 10.6.1.14.8.
But I think you need a kernel that supports overclocking and I don't think the stock kernel does.
To run custom software you need to unlock the tablet (and loose the warranty by doing so). But then you can flash a custom recovery and rom like CROMi-X with your choice of kernel. If you run CROMi-X on this tab, you don't even have to oc - your wife will be viciously happy with it anyway

Use Scott's TF700T Recovery Install Tool from here:

It installs TWRP as well
Then boot holding the Power an Volume button down.
You will find yourself in TWRP.
Make a backup first.
Then choose install and browse to the ROM of choice.
