[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?

good instructions here

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?

[UPDATE] Rooted US Transformers 9.2.1.11(US) to 9.2.1.17(US)

Typical stuff, I take no responsibility for anything that happens to your device. That being said much love to Roach2010 and KTWombley for their work which led to my insignificant contribution.
Long story short this update is for the US version of Asus Transformer TF101. This upgrade applies to those who are running stock firmware that is rooted.
If you removed any stock applications or did anything to your stock installation this will fail.
I tested this update on my own tablet and my daughters who happens to have the keyboard dock and all was good. US only but if anyone wants to forward me other packages I would be happy to add them.
Try at your own risk.

Can someone please post a step by step for running this update? been a while since I rooted and want ICS
thanks in advance... I rooted but left things unmodified
do I just flash the update like any other rom?

Yeah you can flash over.
I installed OTA Rootkeeper and made a backup of my root, then I flashed the zip like anything else. After I the update was finished, I went back into OTA Rootkeeper and noticed that I no longer had root so I used the app to restore my root and voila, all updated and rooted.

I flashed this via CWM and it all went well.
How do I remove the message in my notifications? Also, OTA (even with root keeper) doesn't seem to work with CWM installed.

Is there a ww version of this update?

Hi,
kookooktchoo, thanks for the info about OTA root-keeper!!! Unfortunately I didn't read the rest of your post, I too flashed this update and lost root. lucky I had installed and backed up my root using it.
thanks a lot !!!

Go into your apps in settings, find DMClient, then clear the data and cache, then you will get no more notifications about updates.

I think it will appear later this week.

You can still use ViperMod primetime option 1 to root after the flashing the update. Just did it myself .

It uprooted me too and that app works great thanks kookooktchoo

Works perfect.. I did not lose root either..

Anyone know a way to get this to not check a current app? I only changed the SystemUI and cant find my backup of the original. It hangs on that. I tried the rooted+stock full version of the first ICS release but it apparently didnt blow away my ASOP SystemUI because its still failing.

No reboots or hangs so far. Good stuff.

Update the new firmware using the normal route. Still rooted after the update. No problem at all.

Worked great for me. Thanks!

The OTA kept failing on me so I tried this and it worked great.
For an 8MB update it took a little longer than I expected to flash (+5 mins).
Apparently this doesn't fix USB mounting of internal and removable storage on PC though. I was hoping it would. Guess I'll search out the separate fix. I know I saw it around here some where.

Update failed
Doesn't work for me, update says:

How do I update from 9.2.1.17 stock rooted

Hi,
I have a stock rooted tf currently running 9.2.1.17. I would like to update it but it wont do ota. I tried using ota rootkeeper to unroot first but didnt work.
from what I have read it is because of the CWM recovery I am running. I used to use files from Daoist here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334673&highlight=updating+my+root+tf
to keep my TF up to date but he hasn't made an update for a while.
I would like to know how he made those files update-able
or
how to put stock recovery back on my TF
or any other way to update my TF while it is rooted.
Please if anyone can help me I am not having luck finding any info on this that I understand.
thanks
John

[Q] Rooted and can't update anymore

So I've rooted (the day it came out, so before the first update) and can't update anymore. It'll fail when attempting and reboot me. It wouldn't be an issue but I don't like getting popup reminders about the update. I've searched around but haven't found this issue and am hoping I don't have to reflash the stock rom to update again, I'd also like to keep all my stuff you know. Hopefully someone knows a solution. Sorry if this is dumb

Unroot, install update, reroot.
How to Unroot:
Thanks shabbypenguin for posting this.
You can manually unroot your Droid by using a root file manager program (such as root explorer) and mountsystem as R/W. Then delete the following:
/system/app/Superuser.apk
/system/bin/su
and if it has it
/system/xbin/su

Thanks! Unfortunately, it still fails about 10% of the way through the update. Since JB just came out I'll have to just flash to stock completely and try updating legitimately, then rooting it again, I guess.

You may have solved this problem already but did you try using voodoo root keeper? It's a pretty straight forward way of backing up the root, unrooting to install the update, then rerooting when the update is installed.

I'm running into the same problem. Did the flash back to stock and subsequent update to JB work for you? If so, were can I download the stock OS?

Hey there, I had the same problem. Rooted, unrooted, frozen, deleted, restored, couldn't get anything to get JB to work. Eventually just gave up and flashed to stock. Used the amazing Utility presented here

just make sure to gain root access before going to the JB update. there is no present method for getting root on fresh phone with JB update.

[Q] Has anyone been able to root the Verizon 4.1.2 OTA?

I think the title says it all; I have posted in the development forums but it seems the Xoom forums are slow these days...
I have the 4.1.2 stock OTA and I prefer it to any of the ROMs. I have installed recovery and the bootloader is unlocked. When I attempt to root with the universal root tool it states it is successful; but upon reboot; rootchecker says no.
Any help is appreciated.

Success!!!
Downloaded the su package from post 2 in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1825753
Flashed and it worked fine.
Likely an incompatibility with the SU package for ICS and the modded one someone made for JB.

Bad link
Looks like a bad link. I get a 404 error when I try to follow it. I can't seem to get my Xoom to root on 4.1.2 either.
