How to return to stock?

I bought a used transformer this past weekend and its already running prime overclocked to 1.6ghz. My question is how do I return to stock so I can install the icecream sandwich update when it become available? Every other android device I've owned has had a one click restore of some soft but I can't seem to.find anything here like that. If someone could please point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

i believe first everyone will tell you to search extensively about your topic and the answers are available.
i will however help ya out with the specifics of what your lookin for.(and just so you know the devs will probably get you ICS before asus does or very shortly thereafter, so you might want to consider your options once you do your research)
your going to wanna look up the differences in device serial number versions the pre b70 versions and the b70+ versions. look into the sbkv1 and sbkv2(secure boot key). its very likely yours is a pre b70 which for now is probably good. the later versions have a locked bootloader and the more powerful tool nvflash doesnt work currently.
i belive yours is older (but be sure!!!) and should be able to utilize the nvflash method of unrooting/unbricking. this is what you wanna reasearch....
im in the earning process myself and want to better the transformer community anyway i can and im a firm believer that knowledge is power...............but also comes with responsibility
if you have questions by all means ask but you really should spend some time researching your device and this community and exhaust your intelligence before calling on someone elses....i say this only because many more experienced members will really get on you for asking questions you can answer your self... youve gotten this far your on the right track.
beyond that i will glady help anyone i can and im learning as well so im hungry for the info i guess...
Anyone see what im saying as wromg or misguided plz let me know....

Yeah mine is the original purchased in may.

Hello,
I agree with the question. How can I return to the Stock ROM?
At the Moment i have the Revolution HD on mein TF.
I search, but i cant find the answer
thx for your help

Heck the easiest way I know of to flash to stock is nvflash a stock ROM. Just did that to send back my TF for an RMA, No trouble at all, Snag a stock ROM from Asus website (or here on XDA). Search nvflash and you'll be good to go, Very straightforward process, really.

Thanks for your answer.
I rootet my Pad with Brks_rootkit_v7.1.
I think this program was made a backup from original stock rom befor i rootet my pad. Is this correct?
Can i use Brks_rootkit_v7.1 to become to original stock?
thx

Yep, if you have a backup from your stock made by brks rootkit 7.1 then you can put your tablet back to stock rom.
If you don't have a backup stock rom, then go to tabletroms.com and search in the forum for asus transformer nvflash unbricking tools, this is a tool from zerofeel. This solutions works really well and I use it to keep getting back to original stock rom, before I put a new rom and kernel on my tablet.
Good-luck with it and remember use it at your own risk.

But nvflash doesn't work with b70+, is there a guide to go back without nvflash? Besides that, i got the latest DE Firmware and i want to have a possibility to go back to stock before i root..just in case...is there any way?

Vipermod, use option 1.

It's all over the forum, use the search man.
Search ViperMod

vipermod did not work for me

ViperMod option 1 worked for me. I had to install ASUS sync to get ADB drivers working first though.

So I just picked up an Asus EEE Transformer..

Running Android ICS 4.0.3 and Build Number IMLL74K.US_epad-9.2.1.21-20120413
Every method of rooting I find has nothing to do with ICS, could someone help me on my marry way, I would really appreciate it. I just want to do a basic root, so that I can maybe change the kernal and pep up the CPU a bit.
Help would be rewarded :-D

ViperMod in the Prime form works for all but the latest firmware otherwise you have to downgrade first
And for future reference search first and questions go in Q&A not themes and apps

Sorry about posting in the wrong forum, I should know better, but I have tried downgrading and it does not work, it seems like once you are on 4.0.3 you are stuck. I just tried this method right here and got nowhere, it says nothing about an update being available...

Thanks and I did thank you, I am trying this now, I am guessing I want ICS .11, since that one is still rootable. I am trying it now, I cant believe I got this it was already on 4.03. Why do people upgrade just to upgrade... jerks.
I will let you know how this goes.

I think .17 is rootable with ViperMod also or you could just do Wolf's method 3 which let you install the recovery blob via abd and flashing the su afterward with cwm

Yeah, I actually went with the .11 Blog backup, and then rooted it without any problem at all, now just what to do, what to do... I do appreciate everyone who helped out, thanks much.

how to root mz617 droid xyboard 10.1 with ice update

I can't find any thread that points to rooting droid xyboard 10.1 verizon 4g LTE model with ics update. I have the verizon xyboard 10.1 mx617 32 gb version in 4G LTE . I just got an ICS update but I don't see any info in rooting the device. if such method exists, please point me to the right direction.
Thanks in advance

Please post questions in the Q&A section. Thanks!
Thread moved.

I guess either no one wants to help me or no root option is available for this device on ICS at the moment.

if you still need direction...
I used the DroidRazrUtility (from Rosenberg I believe) one click today...was on ICS leak, flashed back to HC (donated to runandhide05 for the fast-boot files) and used Rosenberg's Utility to root, Version 1.80. You can find the fast-boot files in Xoom General here in XDA (if you need them). I Googled Roseberg's Utility, extracted, ran the .bat....rest is history.
i hope this helps you.
CJ
edit: sorry, after i flashed back to HC i updated my XYB to ICS from Motorola...THEN used the Utility...

thanks but it sounds complicated and risky to go back to HC and then root and then reflash to ics. I want a simple ICS root. but thanks, you are the only member who took interest in my thread.

I am so grateful for this site and for people like you. I have wanted to root the xyboard MZ 617 for a long time now. However, I cannot find a reliable method and am very new to rooting. I have been an avid android believer since the first itteration, but have never ventured into the wonderful world of rooting. I have done a lot of research and like that you use Rosenbergs method because he seems like one of the most respected devs out there. What I need, if you please, is a simplified breakdown of EXACTLY what I will need to do in order to root this device. It has been running ICS for a while. I have had a ton of glitches and hardware/software issues. Some of which were repaired by Motorola and the rest Verizon and Moto have pointed the finger at each other and the middle finger at me. I will be quite grateful for your help. Thank you
