NOTE please press the thanks button if you use this source as it is only fair to thank the people who put the effort into helping you. This is a new tablet and it took days not hours to collect and test this. Please press Thanks!
Hi I have had a Duke in Asia for about 6 months fully rooted running 3.2, so it is possible. I have attached all files and instructions in a word document to allow this to happen, but it is as always at your own risk. Please refer to the Euro version under "Tablet PC Duke Root" discussion forum for other queries
Thanks to Krtonsrx8 who supplied the boot image from "Tablet PC Duke" from Europe I have updated the install files to make the installation simpler for the Europeans. I have also modded the boot file from Europe so now there are separate processes for the Asian "Prolink TA8 Tablet" (mine) and the Europe tablet mentioned in this discussion.

Thanks folks. I found the answer is another thread.
Now I wentback to backup. However Im unable to do the ADB portion to send the superuser. it says device not found.. kindly help.
hi just seen your post, it has been a while since I put everything together. Make sure the .android folder is under your user folder and that USB debug is ticked under development. Have another look at the instructions and follow them line for line and you will get there
thank you very much!
Help

You can use the latest SuperOneClick or you can flash a ROM/kernel that comes rooted. The latter of which can be found in the dev section. If you go that route, I highly recommend using one of bhundven's one-clicks to install 2.3.6 with CWM/root/voodoo lagfix. From there you can install a different custom ROM/kernel if you wish.
Or you can click on the first link in my signature and follow the guide.

which superoneclick? the thread said something about modifying it, do you just download it and run or do i have to change something from the x10 options
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21954884
Look for rooting in this guide.
I also am trying to figure out how to root it. Most guides point to superoneclick, so I downloaded it, although on the shortfuse site there are plenty of complaints saying it is freezing at step 7. I read the guide and it says that since I'm already GB, I can install a rom/kernal combo that will root it in the process. I am wanting to run Valhall black and it doesn't say that a root is necessary in the directions, it just says place the .zip in the root of the SD folder.
Then I read in other places that superoneclick isn't necessary with stock GB, and point to Odin, and then some say Odin isn't necessary and point to "an easier way for stock GB" but then don't say what the easier way is.
The wiki says that one of the ways to root is to install a CWM voodoo lagfix kernel (which is included in Valhalla Black, I think) without needing to root.
Mindboggling
Follow the guide in the first link in my signature. It is very specific! If you have any questions let us know.
Root is necessary. You need to root, then follow the directions regarding SGS Kernel Flasher, then flash Valhalla Black. If you follow the guide you will be good. I tell you the version of SuperOneClick to use. It works. Don't worry about what ever else you read.
Thanks, so far so good. Kernel in progress.
This is for Lumin30
I clicked on your link and followed everything to the T but when it gets to step #7 on the oneclick, it sits an sits (which we wait and wait) but then the oneclick after about 15 minutes of waiting says not responding. Any help on that?
The link I posted? If so, close SuperOneClick and try it again. Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled. Let me know if you have any more problems.
Also, when you plug your phone is does your computer recognize the phone?
That would be the problem. When I plug my phone into the computer it doesnt read it when in debug mode, but if it isnt in debug mode I can as storage.

Open SuperOneClick - assuming you downloaded the version I recommended in the guide.
First thing to try is using a USB port you have not plugged your phone into yet that is directly attached to your computer - meaning no hubs or addon usb boards.
Try that. Let the computer install the drivers. It should say they installed and click Root.
Also - verify what you currently have on your phone before proceeding.
Lastly - you will need to refresh your browser to see my replies
That did it. Thank you so much. But now one last question. How do i find the IMEI to make sure it changed? It said rooted but everythings on my phones looks pretty much the same as it did before I rooted it. An also when it was rooting it said LOG: write failed (errno=14) alot. Does that matter?

Read this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21953587&postcount=1
It will tell you how to find your IMEI and how to back up your EFS folder - which is VERY important. And you can go to Market, download 'Root Checker Basic' to verify you are rooted.
And hit thanks

OH HELL - YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR IMEI TO CHANGE. READ THE GUIDE!
I missed that part of your post!
Thanks for the help. I do have another question. If I want to change ROM's do I just flash them the same way or do I need to do something else first before I flash it? An by the way, the IMEI was still the same. I thought it was suppose to cahnge. Sorry this is my first time ever doing this.

I just flashed a rom and now my phone is stuck omn the start up sceen and has been like that for 10 minutes now and doesnt do anything. It is stuck on the samsung Galaxy s screen. OMG
Uh oh. What were you on and what did you try to flash thag got you stuck?
Bionix_Frost_SGS4G
An used the sgs thing to flash
So you were on Bionic Frost? Or tried to flash Bionic Frost? I need to know what you were first on - then what ROM you tried to flash.
Tried to flash
Hehe. Ok. So you tried to flash Bionic Frost - a Froyo based ROM. And what were ROM were you using before you tried to flash Bionic Frost?
Sherbear
You are making me laugh. We will get this fixed. But I need to know what ROM you originally used. Or that can be said - what is the first ROM you flashed? I am assuming it was a GB based ROM but I was to confirm first before we proceed.
Hi all,
I literally just read through about 15-20 different threads using the search term "bootloop" but almost everyone was on OTA JB, and that doesn't describe my current situation, so here goes:
Got a replacement tablet last week. Used stock for a while, then decided to unlock/root it like I've done in the past (Had a TF300T previously and wrote myself a detailed guide so I consider myself intimately familiar with the process).
Just to clarify, I AM STILL ON ANDROID ICS. I DID NOT TAKE THE JB UPDATE NOR FLASH ANY JB ROM OR RECOVERY.
I unlocked, used NVFlash to make some files, and flashed over the 5.5.0.4 CWM recovery, just dandy. I then make a nandroid backup of my current tablet status (unlocked, not rooted, stock ICS) and copied that over to my desktop. I copied over a nandroid backup from my old tablet (ICS blackbean #5 I think, rooted, unlocked) and attempted to restore that recovery via CWM. The recovery restored fine, but I was stuck in a perpetual "bootloop" i guess, with the BAKED team logo showing nonstop until my tablet died.
Came back home with this tablet (had gone to my brothers house right after restoring so didn't have any of my tools) and tried to fix what I thought was an easy fix (I've done it before, just can't remember how). I wiped everything, did a factory wipe/reset through CWM, formatted my partitions, cleared my caches, just about everything I could think of. Nothing has worked. I've tried flashing the stock ROM but I get an error similar to "remote <invalid size>" about 1/3rd of the way through sending it, so I'm not sure. If I can just get stock anything installed at this point I will be ecstatic.
I do want to iterate that I feel strong that my device is NOT hardbricked. I have FULL ACCESS to CWM, ADB, Fastboot, and APX. I know it's just something small and stupid that I am forgetting.
Can anyone please help me get my tablet back up and running? My laptops' screen died and is currently out of commission so I -need- something to take notes on in class in the meantime, and have no other access to another laptop.
Relevant details:
TF300T 32GB - came with STOCK ICS and did NOT TAKE THE OTA JB UPDATE
Previous setup before my "brick" : Stock ICS, Unlocked, NOT ROOTED. I attempted to restore a nandroid backup from my previous tablet (also a TF300T 32GB with STOCK ICS)
Steps I tried to do: Format partitions, caches, wipe data/factory reset, tried to flash stock firmware, tried to flash CM 9.1 and CM10, no luck.
Current setup: I have full access to ADB, Fastboot, APX, have backup NVFlash files (which I don't know how to use to restore my tablet), and it currently has a CWM 6.0.1.4 TOUCH recovery on it (which is bloody awesome).
Tablet is currently completely dead (red battery logo) and charging atm.
Any expedient help will be truly appreciated and greeted with many thanks!!

I didn't want to take JB because it re-locks the bootloader and doesn't have adobe flash, which I think is an injustice.
I am wiling to take the JB update if I can find a guide on how to restore ICS bootloader using my NVFlash files.
I'm on the IRC channel until at least 7PM EST in the US (while I'm at work) if anyone can provide me some real-time advice.

Check post #11 in this thread. It is from rayman the op and dev for nvflash. I think it covers your request.
Good Luck!
tobdaryl: Thanks for the response. I've actually read through that post because that seems to be the only guide on how to restore via NVFlash.
NVFlash aside, does anyone know what is causing the issue that I'm having right now? My tablet is useless and I'd rather not try to go to best buy and exchange it since my local store doesn't have any in stock and the store i got it from was almost 2 hours away :X
I will try to flash over some sort of stock firmware and hope that works. maybe i just need to re-download it, i don't know. if that doesn't work i will flash over the JB firmware after i get some more instruction on how to restore wtih nvflash.

I think you restored a JB rom(baked) to a unit that still had an ICS bootloader.
recovery - your recovery (JB or ICS) must be changed to match the bootloader of the rom
I suggest twrp on this unit - many problems with cwm
Perhaps my understanding is incorrect but the Baked rom I was using was made for ICS, and I've never had any issues on it previously. I have no objections to using TWRP but I am also not familiar with it so until I get back up and running, I'd like to stick with CWM.
I am waiting for a response back from Rayman in regards to a guide on how to restore via NVFlash so that I can comfortably go to the JB bootloader/rom and still change back if I deem it necessary.
You're correct (assuming it *was* BB5): BB5 was based on ICS bootloader.
Have you tried one of the "return to stock" posts: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757077. Be sure to do a full wipe before.
If you need a stock ASUS ICS ROM, here's a US one. (don't use on WW SKU)
Good luck.

One quick note: NVFlash is good to have, don't get me wrong. But it's really more for if you lose the bootloader altogether. The ASUS JB bootloader has plenty of great ROMs compatible with it at this time so you shouldn't worry about having to go back.

That is incorrect.
There is no way to 're-lock' the bootloader. Upgrading to an ASUS JB rom will upgrade your bootloader and replace your recovery, but the bootloader remains unlocked.
JB itself is where *support* for Flash ended; this has nothing to do with the bootloader. BB5, a JB ROM, does not *support* flash. This doesn't mean it won't work, just that it's not longer made available through the Play store. You can always side-load it.

Search on xda is still down. Manual search I have only found one cwm 6.0.1.4. I hope you have found another that was for ICS. You may wish to read the op for that thread if it is the source of your cwm 6.0.1.4.
tobdaryl: In that same thread, if you go to post #71 on page 8 you will see the OP (the actual dev) responded to my request for an ICS CWM Touch recovery in that post (link here). So I am assuming it is a working ICS CWM recovery, but even before I flashed it I was still using the old 5.5.0.4 CWM recovery. I was forced to flash 6.0.1.4 in order to have support for external SD to try and flash something that works.
Bsaman: Yes, I've tried return to stock. When I send the file, it gives me an error on the command prompt similar to "remote <invalid size>", as I've stated in my original post. I can't figure out why I'm getting that error and I've been able to flash stuff before without any issues. This is the first time I've actually messed up and had a nonfunctional tablet for an extended amount of time. Also, thank you for clarifying my inconsistencies regarding JB and adobe flash. If I can side-load it and still have support, then I have no problems going to JB.
My connection here at work (a frickin T1 at a data center!!!) is only 170kb/s download, so I am going to use the firmwares that I've had downloaded for a while. I will flash the latest firmware and hope that it works.

That's great your recovery is ICS, I'll bookmark for later use. It is good info to pass along.

Sounds like the file is failing the checksum verification. Since you've tried multiple files, I doubt the problem is with the originating file itself. I wonder if you might have a bad USB port or cable. No easy way to try another cable unless you know someone with a TF tablet, but you can try a different USB port.

I actually have a spare USB cable that I redeemed through my replacement plan and have tried sending files via both cables, no go. My co-worker has a TF200 but that's obviously a whole 'nother beast.
I do want to report that I followed the steps in the thread I linked in my last post and after I flashed the boot.blob I no longer see the Android icon in the fastboot/wipe data menu. So I'm even further away from a working tablet than I was before.
Is there -any- other solution or am I going to have to redeem my plan (and lose $80) again and get a NEW tablet? I -really- need this thing to work for school and for my job as well, so I am open to damn near any possibilities.
If anyone can post a guide regarding how to restore my files via NVFlash, I think that might be my best step. At least I'll know which bootloader I'm on, and then can flash the appropriate files from there.
I'm getting desperate guys, help a brotha out! I do -not- want to have to buy another replacement plan and redeem this one just because I bricked it from my own stupidity....

Work for me is at a data center in Virginia. We're not operational so they have us on a ridiculously slow connection :X
Just wanted to give an update: I'm working to try and follow those guides to get stuff restored. It's difficult when there are 6 links to 5 different pages, but i'm working through it.
I failed to mention this before, or perhaps I didn't notice it, but when I go to select recovery mode on tablet with volume down + power key, it instantly goes to the fastboot/wipe data screen. From there, if I wipe data (which only takes like 1 second) it'll reboot into recovery but I have no other way of rebooting into recovery atm. What does this mean? How am I able to fix this?
I was trying to flash back to the my old recovery which is the 5.5.0.4 (ICS) version of ClockworkMod thinking that might help stuff, but this time when I went to choose wipe data and get into the recovery, it said "Key driver not found.. Booting OS" and then went straight into fastboot mode. I really hope I didn't just break things even more and lose fastboot access....
Is anyone else able to post and perhaps provide some insight? A dev maybe? I'm getting desperate at this point for a damn working tablet
**EDIT** Crap, I think I may have just lost access to my recovery from doing that. I can't boot into recovery anymore atm, regardless of which one I flash. Same "key driver not found" error as above.
Maybe you can upload in youtube a movie of your troubelshoot

I was able to successfully use NVFlash in order to un-brick my tablet!!! I am going to eat lunch and then write a guide on EXACTLY what I did, because the steps are NOT well-documented to the point that anyone is able to follow them.
Please stay tuned for a detailed, thorough, and step-by-step guide on how to restore your ICS bootloader and unbrick yourself on a TF300T!!!!!
Any luck in creating the noob guide for unbricking your TF300T? I am stuck and deploying soon. I would like to get it up and running before I leave. Thanks!

Before anyone tells me to use the search, I already did. There is no forum for my phone specifically, and what few posts I have found that even remotely relate to my issue have been dead for over 3 months and I was not sure how you felt about resurrecting them.
Phone info: LG Venice (LG-LG730), Carrier: Boost Mobile, OS: Android 4.0.4
What I have done so far: I was on another help site(so far not so helpful) and several people have reported success in rooting their Venice following THIS tutorial. I have had no luck following said tutorial. Every time I get to the part where it shows the "restore, yes or no" part (can be found at 13:50 in the video tutorial), and when I click yes to restore, the phone says "starting restore.... restore finished" or something similar, but never actually reboots, and nothing shows up in the CMD window. Now I know that I have never set any encryption passwords, and I verified that these options were turned off in the phone settings.
I have also tried Super One Click, for what its worth, and keep getting stuck on "step 7: waiting for device"
If anyone has any information on how I can easily root this phone, I would be most appreciative. I say "easy" way because I AM totally new to rooting and I don't want mess something up. I apologize ahead of time if I posted this in the wrong area.
Thank you in advance.

FWIW I just rooted both my and my wife's LG Venice phones.
I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 and then method 3 instead of 1 which has worked for others.
android 4.0.4
kernel 3.0.8
build IMM76L
software LG730ZV5
I did try method 1 first and it may be that the two need to be stacked for all I know at present, I will be resetting one phone to factory and trying fresh with method 3 as soon as her 8g SD is ready to go.
I've tried using different versions of Bin4ry's root and none of them work. Im running 4.0.4

On a friends phone, also a Venice (boostmobile) we had some insanity as described below.
The final root check stalled, and we finally stopped the script that was waiting for something for most of a day.
A quick check from the ADB said we had root, and I could get the # prompt and do what I wanted, see the supersu and busybox from the rooting, etc..
Two reboots later, after adding titanium backup, supersu, and stericson-busybox from the play store (or what ever the name is today) everything went swimmingly, and even the problems I had noticed with some audio and video codecs not working had resolved themselves.
I am not sure what version of the rooter from bin4ry we used on mine and my wife's, but on our friend's we used the newest at the time he downloaded which was v25
Alright, i'll try it out. Thank you
You wouldn't by chance have the file on hand would you? I can't seem to find v25

Root Issues Lg 730
:cyclops: Hi XDA... I have an issue also with the Lg730 Venice or (Sol) I have a repeat client that is always coming up with new phones, and keeps me busy rooting, custom flashing, (in general Modding) all his little toys.. I rooted his Lg 730 last yr with adb (Ubuntu12.04) by using the usual push/mount/chmod/install.. This system has worked for me many times, including but not limited to Clone S3's , Clones S2(Chinese) Droids of all flavors, yet with this New OTA 4.1.2 my client lost the previoius Root (I did not flash CustomRom at that time) . I have SERIOUSLY ,tried every method that I know of. Binary's(thanks Binary) which i have used a few times(Donator here) does not seem to work this time. GingerBreak/Psneuter/Fastboot/Rageagainsthecage/Odin/Heimdall (yes i even tried Samsung designs) Nothing works on this new OTA for me. Upgraded to RaringRingtail thinking i was out of date , to my dismay Nothing... I cannot get Root. Fastboot does not pickup device(all drivers in place(Ubuntu/Windows) My biggest challenge ever. I BOUGHT this phone (not because i like it) but for personal reasons. There is limited support for this device. I would like those who read this forum to know, that I AM going to dedicate my spare TIME on the Lg730 Venice from this day on. I have reset BoostMobile Factory settings , taken the stock boot.img , pulled the system, , rooted it, busybox'd it, with run support, zipaligned, added a couple of my favorite apk's,changed the bootanimation, zipped it,(7zip)... Essentially STOCK, with ROOT... I cannot run this on my Device(NO ROOT) but if any1 is interested its ready for flashing... I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOU DEVICE... I will speak to a Moderator before i post link so as to get XDA Forum rules advice first. I take no credit , and i give it all (J.Rummy) (Chainfire)(XDA Developers)(Dsixda)(Koushik Dutta)(Exploid-Crew)for without them many things could not be possible....

I do not have it on hand, and we both semi-accidentally OTA upgraded to jellybean when the prompts got too annoying and lost root all together.
IF you manage to achieve root, best to use OTA rootkeeper BEFORE you upgrade, looks like now I have to use kdz tools and downgrade to v5, root, rootkeeper, and hope I can keep root :/

I would be interested in your theory cyclops. Possibly even in using yours over mine.
I am currently playing with doing much the same thing on a .cab formatted ROM then using the KDZ tool to push the modified v8 ROM (Jelly Bean 4.1.2) and pray I am good as I was when I was a kid
LG730 Venice
Unfortunately i have been unsucessful in Rooting this LG. Very frustrating.. I hope you achieve your goal. Best wishes.... I have also provided an email i can be contacted at directly [email protected] If this helps, and if you are able to sideload, or able to flash its ready to go.
.EDITING EDITING

I have tried to use this page/post to root my LG 730 Venice (Android 4.1.2 Software LG 730ZV8). I have downloaded & installed everything but keep getting ERROR messages at the end. Does anyone have detailed instructions on how to install/use bin4ry v31.zip ??
I am almost sure that it would eliminate these errors. I have been using Linux now for over 10 years and this process should be child's play.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Not much info to go on Mike , but here goes, first but not least...... LG730ZV8 package is not rootable.... You need to first downgrade from the LG730ZV8 to LG730ZV5 using LG Tool 500 method... (.cab format from here--> ) http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LG730/ABMUSV/LG730ZV5_01/LG730ZV5_01.S5_00.P61009.cab ... Follow instructions to the letter, and do not miss any steps....... I think its an easier way using the tools but if your a DIY kinda guy , the KDZ method is a little more complex , but rewarding in the end , more so than The 500 Tool simply said , because if your a little like me, i flash many different OS's for the fun of it, and the KDZ method will truely always work when the Tool wont..... Now the KDZ method you can find Here --------------->----------->---------------------->-----------------------------------------------------> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236.... If you have any problems or questions give4 a shout and i will try to guide you through it ...... Good luck Mike
Ps...... The trick to getting Binary's Root method to work is to put it on Root (c:\Binary.... etc...etc ) go to file press shift and right click to open cmd prompt... Type c:\RunMe ... Choose method #1 restore twice ,reboot 3x and Rooted..

I went into the folder that I extracted the bin4ry file download to and found two other folders:stuff and z_rootkit.. Inside the "stuff" folder I found abd.exe & dlls, busybox, fastboot, glass, install recovery, root me.tar (Linux), rootkittablet.tar.gz Linux), su and superuser.apk.. Now some of the ERROR messages had references to ABD and missing .dlls which were apparently not installed. This where I believe this prog hung up but I have no idea why.
The other folder "z_rootkit" had getroot scripts (.sh) and usbux.ab. I am guessing but I am assuming these might be needed too.
When I extracted to folder bin4ry, there were no other instructions to install from these folders.
This why I was asking for an install instruction file to get all this done.
Hope this helps in the solution !!
Hi Mike ...:cyclops: This will help you out..... You have the right package I believe.. Not sure why its giving you the dll errors... that could possibly be SDK or ADB not installed correctly via path to directory... Check it. Possibly deprecated download file. Too many too list in Windows... Gotta love Ubuntu........ Try downloading Binary's Root by Restore again... open downloads , -> drag n drop file to local c (root) set permissions-> Unzip it . open File . press shift on keyboard while also right clicking pointer, and it will bring up command prompt . Type ( .\RunMe ) in prompt...... When it opens select # (1) follow prompts to Backup---> Restore---> ADB will reboot ---once----twice and android will upgrade ... Let it finish. (3) Third reboot pull plug ---> grant permissions to Superuser or SuperSU on popup... Rooted.... I am assuming you downgraded to LG730ZV5 or LG730ZV6 already....... if there are any problems , or if you have questions let me know......
What to download ??

Just got everything cleaned up and am now ready to do this thing. Went to KDZ but don't know which prog to download plus I don't have B2C on my LG730.
Please let me know where I might find everything I will need to get it done.
Thanks

I wish someone would teach all the Windows people that they are dealing with a MF trash bin OS. I have been fighting Win Updates. getting MS Active Sync installed etc. I have never in my life seen such idioatic crap in my life, There HAS TO BE AN EASIER way to root an LGE 730 (Venice) phone. If someone has such info please let me know because using the KDZ method is maniacal at best, I am ready to trash this piece of CR** phone. It CANNOT BE THIS TOUGH TO DO !

Don't forget the SuperSU app for the root binaries and superuser requests!
Hello all xda community.
I want to ask help from people about my problem.
Ok first, i try to follow jammasterclay.webs.com/step2 regarding multiwindows cascade in note 10.1
when i try using zipthemer then try to configure the step, i get error from zipthemer that "failed to find system mount/umount commands in updater-script". So i hope help from the community regarding the problem. I dont have any idea. I try searching with google also not get the answer.
i get the same message. i used the latest supersu version.
i pm'ed JamMasterClay and i hope he will reply to us
The issue is that chainfire changed how the SuperSU instillation method works. I'm sure it's still possible to make the ZipThemer method work, but I am investigating newer methods such that ZipThemer won't need to be used at all, you will simply have to flash the zip in recovery, regardless of ROM.
I'm currently in the middle of having to re-install Windows and set up my computer again, so bear with me - it might be a few days. I'll try to have something soon though.
Update: The new method works. I'm going to put everything together and will update the original thread. I'll let you guys know when that's done.
---------- Post added at 06:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------
I updated my thread with new steps. Follow the steps found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136313 and everything should work perfectly. Let me know if you have any problems.
working great! thank you!
