Hi, I just got an Asus Eee pad Tf101, and I just updated to ICS today. Now I've seen this tablet can be rooted but I want to know if it can be rooted with this update installed or if I have to do something else.
Thanks!

Google Viper Mod and run that. I've heard people using that and being able to root ICS

Hello everybody! Like the title says, I just got my TF101 2 days ago. I immediately came to look for the rooting process but not being very savy in the whole ADB process I was intimidated quite a bit. I ran into the whole B70 deal so I did a little research on XDA/Google and I have a B80 model. Am I to understand that I should just wait for an updated root process or am I missing something here?
Ya you will just have to wait. if you can exchange it for a b60 then you can get on with it but if not you will have to wait. b80 just means it was made in august
Hey Hunter,
Same boat as you. I must have sunk 6 hours into trying to root it until I finally realized that was the problem I was running into (made me feel like such a huge n00b-c4nn0n lo). Basically, the nvflash method fails for me everytime and I always get an error that says something like "failed to write to USB". Similar for you?
My girlfriend got a Transformer today that was still a B50, not sure what is going on in my area but everywhere else has new units in!

Is it true that i will loose OTA updates?
I just got used to the honeycomb interface so im not in the mood of installing a custom ROM yet, i just want to have root in order to install certain apps that requiere root.
Thanks in advance!
You will loose OTA updates but the interface won't really change, it'll just speed up!
Yup exactly the same. Has anyone heard anything new?

Although I am not new to the rooting process; i have rooted, flashed, and unrooted by Droid X. However this asus eee pad transformer is a more valuable device that I am more hesitant to root. This past weekend I helped rooted by friend's Transformer but I am not likely to follow this rooting process. I am not sure of the benefits other than overclocking and rom flashing. I may want to root the Transformer but I am not sure if I can root it and still be able to get the ICS update pushed out by Asus. Can you guys explain if I can get this update when I have a rom flashed or I will have to set it back to stock and unroot it. Also can you guys explain more benefits of rooting this device.
Thanks,
Ryan
root only will not stop OTA update. It's when you install custom ROM and/or CWM recovery is when OTA update will fail.
Just ask your self if you're happy with it root or non root. Personal prefernces.

Is there an easy way to get rid of the CWM recovery and have it back to normal just in time for the update. I have used the rootkit v7 on my friends Transformer and I think it put CWM recovery already for you. So in other words, is their a easy way to get back to normal stock root or stock without root???
I think if your rooted and the update comes out you will only have to wait a few hours maybe a day at most for one of the devs to release a stock Ics ROM with root and superuser and all you would have to do is flash it.
At least that's how I think it goes based off past experience with Evo 4g and Evo 3D

I'm also considering rooting my transformer but have second thoughts like you about tablet costing more if something goes wrong compared to a phone.... But I think rooting now before the Ics update comes it'll be better for us due to the fact that when Ics update comes out it has the potential to block any way of rooting the transformer and like I said in last post rooting now then flashing a rooted version of Ics will benefit us by getting the update and not loosing root.
Now I just need to figure out how to root my new transformer I'm on the latest update 8.6.5.21-20111216 and find a stocked rooted ROM
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated and THANKS will be given!! :beer:

This may sound like a stupid question but since this is an old repack version of the asus rom. Does this mean that we have to download and install every firmware that asus pushed out or will it skip a few and head to the latest firmware??? (i think i made the question harder to understand. Just tell me if you need me to clarify)

You should be able to update to the latest. If not you could always download the latest version from Asus website and try to manually update through the stock recovery.

sounds a bit risky, i just stick with the old firmware and if I have to keep on updating it, seems safer. What rom do you have on your Transformer and how are the features compared to the others???

I use Roach's Prime 2.1.1. Happy with it so I never bother trying anything else.
If and when ICS get released I'm pretty sure Roach will cook something up
if not CyanogenMod might have something also.

Are their videos on this rom? I know i seen a few on the Revolver Rom but haven't seen any Prime video's.
Delighted for all the excitement of the ICS updates for our devices, please can the first people to get the OTA update for the SL101 Slider please announce. There may be fewer of us lurking on this forum, so it would be appreciated amongst all the exceited posters. Cheers.
Don't hold your breath.
A) It's Asus.
B) The SL101 sold very poorly because it's sales were undercut by the Prime
So Asus say it is on the way...
Just need some patience I guess...

No patience! Let's have it yesterday! I too have the SL 101 ..love it, eager for ICS.
Any Slider peeps tried downloading the Asus web full ICS download [9.2.1.11]?
Well, looks like Asus just changed their spec page for the SL101 to read:
Android™ 3.1 Honeycomb OS(3.2 upgradable) with Adobe® Flash® support*
With the bullet meaning:
*All specifications are subject to change without notice. Please check with your supplier for exact offers. Products may not be available in all markets.
No ICS for us it seems. Ever. Save for maybe a custom firmware. But considering how little sl101 specific modding there is, I wouldn't count on it.
As far as I can see, the ASUS site still says "ICS Upgradable"
Can't post links, but if you Google "asus sl101" its the 1st result.
The Asus website says now:
Android™ 3.2 Honeycomb OS(4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich upgradable) with Adobe® Flash® support*
But no OTA update yet, at least for me...
Still no OTA for me here either. SL101 in Texas.

You can root and install recovery nd then flash the TF ICS. It ran fine on mine. Revolver 4 runs good too, just flash the Slider compatibility.

Maybe you can tell some of us Newbees how to root our SL101's. I have tried everything from RazorClaw, to z4root and ViperMod and nothing seems to work. I'm of the opinion now that I don't know how to get the SL101 into a maintenance mode to run ViperMod because it keeps saying it isn't in the right mode (ASX?) when I boot it with the vol+and power keys pressed. Maybe there is another way of getting into maintenance mode with the SL101 or I'm doing something wrong.
It appears that ViperMod might work if I can just figure out the buttons to start it in maintenance mode.
Anyone that has rooted one should know, inquiring minds want them to share.

How do we get our little grubby hands on ICS for the TF101? And how do you install it on a SL101?
Inquiring minds want to know.

Go to transformerforums dot com, to the tf101 forum and look for the thread titled "when all else fails"
Tf101 firmware can be downloaded from ASUS website.

So far it's just rumors and speculation at this point. There is no evidence from anyone that they've actually been updated to 4.1 at all.

It's not out yet. Conjecture from a few 3rd rate news sources.

Everyone at this point should have the 4.0.1 update, as it's just an improvement to 4.0. The 4.1 update though hasn't actually rolled out yet though for thee TF700. 4.1 is Jellybean, and should be here within the next week.

I don't know about shipped. I just got mine from Best Buy earlier this week, and it booted up with 4.0.1, admittedly it asked me to update almost immediately after connecting the wireless.....
Mine came with 4.01 and immediately upgraded to 4.03 after the first boot up.

Anoyone wjho knows anything about JB og a Root for this device?
Iwould be happy the day i can get a custom firmware on it, sad that i dont know how to make this things on my own....
i think theres no way to root right now because the tf700kl has another soc as the tf700t and so the recovery from tf700t doesnt work.
and the recovery is the only way to root a asus device with jb on it.
so someone must make a recovery optimized for the tf700kl

There is still no bootloader unlocker for it either. I haven't dared to try the one for TF700T ICS. So even it there was a recovery, we might be screwed. The TF700KL is on ICS 4.0.4 atm btw. And the method what worked for TF700T 4.0.3 does not work it seems (I tried...).
