new transformer just came in - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i opened it excited to install ics and root but it says theres no firmware update serial code is b80 if that matters. should i just leave wifi on and it'll eventually connect to asus servers?

Just root it, flash CWM and install Revolver v4

Will I be able to update from there?

Nope. Just search vipermod. You don't need an update if you have cwm. You can just install what ever you want then. Including the update..

i just realized that the android version still 3.1 do i still have to update it to 3.2 or anything? if so how?

Last try; search for vipermod. Root it. Install cwm. All this other stuff doesn't matter. Or search and read for a few days. No one is going to hand you the information. Hell its stickied......good luck.

Vipermod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1516639&highlight=vipermod
I was feeling nice.

thanks. the last thing im having trouble with is the drivers installation it also says disable asus sync and the splashtop but i cant find those two apps anywhere. also vipermod got updated so the choices are now:
1: root (only method for prime on ICS v9.x.x.11)
2: root (only method for prime on ICS v9.x.x.8)
3: alt root (recommended for TF101 also works with prime on v8.x.x.x)
4. unroot
5. install unlock tool and flash cwm
6 donate
7 exit
from my understanding i would connect the tablet to my laptop, kill asus sync and splashtop somehow, then open the vipermod app and press 3? i cant tell you how thankful i am for everyone helping me i'd be so lost

User option 1 in ViperMod

I used nachoroot. So I don't know. You could use that too. I am putty sure you choose 1 tho in vipermod.

tried vipermod. kept getting a message saying adb is not recognized or something im getting so frustrated D:

No root for you until you read for awhile man. I at this point i am not comfertable with your knowledge base. Read. Read some more. Google adb. Read some more. Learn. Your frustration is from your lack of knowledge. Just an fyi; I like honey comb better then ics. Maybe you'll feel the same.

I was able to update to ics by manually downloading from the asus website. Tried vipermod again and still got adb unrecognized so I looked up how to install adb which I did. Still nothing. Tried to root via nachoroot and after the second adb command line I got permission denied. I downloaded they su file and the nacho root file And moved them both to the tools folder in SDK.yes I know My lack of understanding can be difficult to deal with but I'm still new at this and I'm doing my best to learn

Are you using any custom rom?..
connect the tablet to the computer and see how much free space the computer see..
try to download an app from the web and install by file manager hd or another similar app..
No custom rom.
I have the stock rom, but I dont want to.
I wiped the user data so now the market works, but I cant use root...
Superuser wont install binary...
The TF wont stay in APX mode either...
Any ideas?
No way to reinstall root user? Please help!
Any error messages?
The only error I get at the moment is when I try to update the SuperUser binary. On check it says Binary=legacy.
It says: Update failed. Try again? (in Swedish ).
The recovery wont even install. Plz, a little help is wanted...
Anything?
Razorclaw v1.0.1 says "This device already has a correct SU binary..."
Cmon, someone knows something? Hehe, anyway thanks...

Use Su Update fixer apk for helping to fix problem with SU apk.
And if you've got barcode scanner apk (or another) use it for update SU
Well thanks, but did not help. The updater says "Fix failed. Try downloading and flash an update.zip...".
Problem is then, I have no Idea how to do that, besides, I cant use a single app in root, it doesn't find "root"...
Root checker basic doesnt. The only app that finds it is razorclaw... Im a bit confused...
More ideas?
This is the last version SU 3.0.6 for HC - Try it.
Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip - 608 KB
Thanks. How do i use that ?

There's instructions on how to get su binary working manually.
If you do this it should work...
First do a hard reset on the TF.
There is to ways 1 pressing Vol - and Start button
Or Setting - Privacy - restore data
And then is so easy you just follow this thread and do what they say....

If you dont want a custom room back up your TF and then reaload it. The market problem will disapear...
Several problems.
1. Wiping data and installing razorclaw again does NOT help. The binary problem still remains.
2. Nothing what so ever happens when pushing "Flash recovery" with the app RecoveryInstaller.apk.
3. No recovery app when Vol- and Power is pushed down. Only ASUS Wipe data and cold booting options.

It is very new. Not many own it yet, but I do It is fully rootable using Razorclaw, provided you update to the latest current firmware (USA 16GB model..can't speak for the rest). Afterward, I used the recoveryinstaller.apk and installed Clockwork, made a backup, and now awaiting a custom rom.

Thanks,,,,, that's what I did when I got it..........installed all the updates. I have a white 16gb US version slider bought from newegg.com. I basically just got it a week or so ago & I really like it but the rooting (or not being able to rather) was depressing me cuz I finally found a tablet I liked, this one (Asus Slider) of course.
I just want the basic rooting to use custom fonts & a few other apps that require a rooted device. My google account automatically installed Superuser & stuff from my account. Should I uninstall that till I root it?
Do I need to use Razorclaw while plugged into my pc? I use WinXP Pro.
Thanks for everyone's help!

This is the best part. With Razorclaw, you do not need a computer at all. Just pur the APK on the microSD card, enable to install unknown sources (in settings) and install it. Next, run it and click to root. Easy as pie. Does not matter if you install or uninstall SU, as Razorclaw installs it for you when launched.
And I agree, the Slider is the best tab on the market in my honest opinion. It's essentially a better built Transformer (no offense to the Transformer fans!)

[Q] Nachoroot can't get ID 0

I've started root using nachoroot but I can't get ID=0, it is always 2000. I've repeated the procedure 4 times so far but ID is always 0.
So I thought I'd try RazorClaw. It says that system is already rooted and won't run.
next idea I had was to unroot and start again so I installed and ran RecoveryInstaller and flashed - no errors.
Rebooting to CWM doesn't - reboots to a yellow exclamation mark in a white triangle nad a little green android.
Can you help me unroot please?
I did all this because I have rooted successfully with nachoroot, run RecoveryInstaller to get CWM, then unrooted with nachoroot ADB procedure. Unfortunately SuperUSer app was still present and I tried everything to uninstall it.
Even thought I haven't been able to re-root because I can't get ID 0, the system is obviously mostly rooted as Root Explorer let me uninstall SuperUser.

Are you sure you didn't forgot to add the parameter --stage1 and --stage2 in :
"adb shell /data/local/nachoroot.bin --stage1"
and

I have a B40 and couldnt root with this method either. I got the same. What I did was use nvflash (BrkTookit) to root my tf with .21 firmware on it. Worked like a charm.

No I didn't forget - this is the second time I've done this. The first root the unroot worked well but didn't remove the superuser app.
So I've tried to re-root. It has mostly worked because RazorClaw says it is already rooted. Because of this I installed Root Explorer and removed the superuser app OK.
Is it because I don't have the superuser app that i can't run RecoveryInstaller to install CWM?
Just go to the market and download super user app
OK, tried that. I reinstalled SuperUser and reran RecoveryInstaller and got CWM. When I then tried to remove Superuser with Root Explorer, it wasn't in /system/app even though the Superuser icon exists in Apps.
Next step I retried the unroot procedure and the first zip install failed.
How can I tell whether the tf101 is rooted, unrooted or stuck somewhere in between?
I really want to get to ICS when it's released officially.
If you download superuser app from market look in data/app for it.
If you're trying to go totally stock, look here.

I'm going to have to agree, I have run through the steps for nachoroot 5 times now and always get "cannot create /data/local.prop: permission denied" when trying to run --stage2.
I've never had problem rooting any other device I have, so I will safely say that nachoroot does not work on .21 firmware.

Plenty of peoples have gotten root on .21 firmware. There's a few case where it does not work and seems like you're one of them.
Maybe try the 8.6.6.19 firmware and RazorClaw

I would if someone would upload it someplace other than multiupload...which won't load anymore, and I think it is because of changes they made after the megaupload bust.

In my travels im pretty sure the brktool or something like that will root .21 but the download link wasnt working for me. U gotta go to .19 to razorclaw and nachoroot. I just gave up n am gonna wait for ICS. Im sure someone someone will think of something for rooting.
I was unsuccessful too on my b50 running .21. I think it has to be b70 or greater.

First of all, if you are in ICS, all you need to do is download the vipermod tool from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21009605
You should connect you tf101 and make sure under settings you have usb debugging checked. On your computer run the tool, click option 1 (even if it says tf201), just wait for it to reboot and confirm you have superuser and root. Hope this helps.
If you are still in honeycomb, i think there is another option for Tf101 in vipermod
im still hc user because of in austria and germany ota upgrade comes on1st march ...

You DON'T boot into ADB (no such thing)
Just turn USB debugging ON.
Connect TF to PC via USB and run ViperMod (choose option 1)
THANKS
thanx for your great support it worked now im rooted

I'm hoping this will also work with the SL101 when they finally release ICS for it.

[Q] Some Assistance Please!

Hello everyone, I haven't been on XDA since the HTC wing came out. I've scoured the forums and noone seems to be having the exact problems. I am VERY new to android and may have potentially messed up my tablet.
Anyway, I would really appreciate it if you extraordinary gentlemen could give me some assistance with my TF101. I want to install CWM and root it and install custom ROMs.
First, here are the symptoms:
1.USB cannot connect to the tablet
2.USB cable can charge the tablet just fine with the adapter
3.When trying to access recovery, boots to bugdroid with the blue prism then goes to bugdroid lying down with a red triangle and exclamation point on top of it
What I did to get to this position:
1. did not note what build I was on but used ViperMODS Primetime [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427125] and option 1 to root.
2. Used VooDoo OTA root keeper to back up the root.
3. upgraded to the newest OTA update...9.2.1.21
4. used the back up to "root" with Voodoo OTA RootKeeper
5. Used Rom Manager to "flash" Clockworkmod recovery. First time froze... restarted the tablet and did it again with "success"
Then the symptoms showed up. So what did I do? and how can I fix it? thank you to anyone who offers their input!
your problem is using rom manager use Gnufabio's recovery installer to put the right one in then reflash the stock firmware or a custom rom to get rid of the recognition problem
Tried recovery installer, it says i am not rooted.
from what I read, I have to downgrade before I can root, correct?
But I cant use ADB because of the usb problem... so what can i do?
Have you tried reinstalling the newest asus sync driver? I have to reinstall the driver once in a while because adb won't see my tf.

Try this
look in system/bin to see if you have su there
copy su to system/xbin and try RecoveryInstaller again

It says permission is denied.. which means im not rooted. but I do have the superuser app showing in my tray and root checker confirms that I am rooted... wth!
ive been at this for a full week and i am being thoroughly frustrated...
EDIT!!! I tried a full wipe, and after your trick the process went through! ty! and so now... whats next? just flash a custom rom?
One question... the USB issue is a hardware, software, or bad luck problem? Meaning would the flashing of a custom ROM possibly fix this issue?
Any of the 3. A rom Might fix it, but it's more likely a driver issue on your computer. Linux wouldn't need drivers, so if you have access to a linux machine try that.

Ah I see... because I ordered another TF101 for my mom.. so I guess A) I can try her USB cable and/or B) do this trial and error thing to see if its my port thats busted... do they sell the part? meaning... is it soldered in or ribbon like most phone parts?
Go ahead and try her cable, but the ones that come with are usually fine. I really would think it's driver related.
