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.

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.

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?

Hello
I have a problem with my Transformer.
It has firmware 3.2. 8.6.5.9 installed and it doesn't show me new updates.
The transformer was rooted and I already unrootet it. But nothing happend. Still no update.
And I changed the SKU from US to WW. Thats why I rooted the Transformer.
What can I do to get the update?
You might want to look into a custom rom

There is no reason to unroot your tf to apply the update, there is a zip that works through CWM in this post..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281161
Since you are already unrooted you might have to wait for ASUS to put the update file on their website, should be out soon, or you could root it again
Cheers.
Its a B-70 running 8.6.5.13 US model.
B70, you have a 50/50 chance.

Use RazorClaw and then RecoveryInstaller, these two are .apk, so it works with just one click from your Tab.
I've rooted mine like this.

Best way: Update to 8.6.5.19 -specifically- and use Razorclaw.
Anything above .19 and you get stuck, unless your B70 supports the APX mode access ... which frankly I'd test anyway if you haven't already just to be sure if you'll have a failsafe option.

Hey !
I tried to download the file named UpdtaeLauncher_WW_epad_8.6.6.19 (or something like that..) I found in the thread you linked. I downloaded a zip, and copied it in my internal storage, and rebooted, but nothing changed, and there isn't any downgrade.. Where do I need to copy the file, and do I have to unzip it ?
Thanks a lot !!

i think you need the files you wish to flash copied to your external storage from what I read while rooting my B70 and flashing with PRIME 2.1.1 and netformer 1.6, they all had to be on a micro SD to flash.. (???)
The downgrade isn't working for me either - B70, US, .21
I renamed the file in the dev threads to US_epad-user-8.6.6.19 (no zip), rebooted, it said there was an update with the triangle, it runs, but then goes to the Android with the triangle in the middle, then when rebooting it reverts back and loads and states the software does not match the upgrade file.
I'd like to post this in the dev thread, but I don't have 10 posts yet :lame:
not working with .23
I tried all variants for downgrading from my 8.6.6.23 (BA0, TF101G) found in the threads for .21, but it does not work at all.
The update starts, but then the little android with the yellow warning sign shows up and the .23 version keeps on rolling...
i think we have to wait... damn you asus: why don't you just let me root MY device. I bought it - i didn't rent it !?!?
Thanks toeveryone who took the time to anwear my question.. Especially stch, I've ben led to the same conclusion, but didn't want to believe it.. But, finnlaly, I have to understand that it now impossible.. I'll have to wait :/

Use nachoroot, it works great

pjfriend's alternate root method has worked for me. It allowed me to revert from .21 to .19 and then root using Razorclaw. I was having trouble at first, as I have just gotten my transformer. A note to you, when getting in to recovery, after you see the green NVidia logo, that's when you hit the volume up knocker. Not when you see the two square boxes that have 'factory wipe' and an Android there.

If NachoRoot worked, there's no need to revert from .21 to .19 to use RazorClaw.
NachoRoot should have rooted your TF.
Heh, nice find . Trying so many root methods, they begin to blur. Edited and fixed, thanks.
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.

There you will find something like "XX_epad" in the middle of that very long string. In which XX = your tablet's SKU. It can be US, WW, TW, etc.
Sorry, I don't have my tablet in my hands. Cannot get you a screenshot. I am sure there's some around the forum.

Awesome i see its the US version. I have found it on Asus website. Now one more thing and this may sound stupid. I see it says put it in adb/fastboot. where is that exactly haha thanks again
Oh wait, I guess you haven't unlocked the infinity yet. Fastboot is available only after unlocking. I haven't unlocked mine, so I am not very familiar with that.
Using adb connecting to your tablet through command prompt is essentially the same as running terminal emulator on the tablet. I guess you should be familiar with adb as you hacked many phones already.
You know what. I heard that the unlock tool also works in JB for TF300T. I guess it should be working on TF700T with JB also. You can try it first before downgrading.
You can try this guide to downgrade to .30. Just download the .30 file instead of .22 stated in the post.
