Unrooting back to stock - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just trying to get this straight. Will my device return back to stock if I upgrade to ics from revolver rom hc, through the normal asus updating thing from settings?

I don't think you can OTA update if you're on a custom ROM.
Just download the stock firmware from Asus and flash it via CWM recovery.
It will put you back at stock ROM and recovery

You can revert back to stock using the stock images for your model (don't re-lock), get your OTA updates, flash solarnz' R4c cwm recovery and then root with the Universal Xoom Root zip file. You will be stock, updated, with custom cwm recovery and rooted.

Questions regarding OTA

Ok, so I just rooted my TF101 and flashed clockworkmod to be able to flash the stock honeycomb on-screen buttons. I do know that rooting the device wont keep me from receiving OTA updates but I'm no so sure about the other changes.
On the Nexus S, OTA updates make integrity checks on /system and /boot partitions before applying the update, so if you modify files on those partitions the update will most likely fail. How does that work for the Transformer? I read on a thread that if you're not on stock recovery you won't be able to apply an OTA update. Is that right?
OTA updates will not install on TF101s using ClockworkMod Recovery; however, I believe TF101s that are only rooted can install OTA updates.

Use cwm to flash in stock recovery then restart system.

I see this is for the US firmware, mine is the WW. Does it make any difference? Also, mine is on 8.6.5.21, is the recovery "universal" or firmware version dependent?
Thanks

Just do it.
Or just wait until a dev modify the OTA update and use CWM to flash this.
Will mostly shortly available.
Thanks guys

[Q] how to unroot and return to stuck (ICS)

Hello,
I've upgraded to ICS and I had some issues with the update. whenever I leave the tablet for hours I find it stuck in reboot screen... I'm not sure what causes this issue I think it is kernel related.
So can anyone tell me how to unroot and go back to stuck rom?
Thanks in advance
You update to ICS, which ICS ROM?
If you have cwm recovery just download and flash the stock firmware from Asus website

How can I get back to a stock ASUS .26 boot from AndroidRoot?

Hey guys,
So I recently did the procedure to enable NVflash on my TF700, and flashed the AndroidRoot bootloader in the process (over my stock .26). Unfortunately, I forgot to make a backup of the bootloader before doing that.
My question is, is there any way I can get back to a stock .26 bootloader now? A bootloader image file I can download somewhere? I want to do so to get back to stock .26 firmware and then upgrade to stock Jellybean.
Thanks
I'm really curious as to *why* you'd want to do this... If you just want to get to Jelly Bean with the stock bootloader, you can download the full JB firmware from Asus now (it's a FULL install, not just an upgrade like the OTA was) - it will replace the bootloader as well.
I just can't think of any valid reason to revert to the .26 bootloader just to get to get back to the stock bootloader in order to upgrade to JellyBean/stock bootloader.

So can I just run the Jellybean installer to return my tablet to stock (keeping bootloader unlocked of course)?
By the way I have TWRP recovery. So I need to change to stock recovery first to run that file, right?

Actually, just installing the stock JB image from Asus will replace your bootloader and your recovery, so no need to change to stock recovery first...

But I can't find a way to run the ASUS update, since I have TWRP recovery (seems like it requires a stock recovery)... If I start the update from within Android, it just takes me to TWRP. How do I run the file?
Never mind, I just tried installing the ASUS update file from within TWRP, to my great surprise it worked! I thought it was going to brick my tablet, honestly (I have an NVflash backup so no worries). Well, I'm happy, thanks for your help, jtrosky.

You could flash a recovery and then another Custom ROM or reflash the stock ROM and then reroot it.
