Can anyone give me Adb commands?

Basically this was my problem
Here is my problem today I put the CM9 (march 28th version) rom onto the transformer all was fine until I tried installing Gapps.
Basically I installed Gapps within recovery rebooted and boot loops occurred. However as I deleted the rom off of the internal memory (using roachs recover with internal ) I cannot access the internal memory anymore to put the ROM back on.
I have tired connecting the transformer via USB to 4 computers and the drivers do not install, have downloaded them off the asus website fine but they do not install on windows. The recovery has system mounted so it cant be that ....
Seems like im stuck between a rock and a hard place atm not really sure what to do..
Can anyone help?

[HowTo] Restore Stock Recovery and Install .26 OTA Manually with Unlocked Bootloader

All credit goes to original posters- this information was compiled from a few different threads to make things easier.
Info came from the following threads:

** As always, this has risks. You could brick your device. Do this at your sole discretion. This worked just fine for me, but it might not work for everyone.
** What this does is replace TWRP with the stock recovery, enabling OTA updates to be applied again. It does NOT re-lock your bootloader. It also overwrites your /system image and build.prop with the original .22 image, which should enable the .26 update to be successful.
** This did NOT overwrite any of my settings or apps- that may not always be the case. It's best to expect that this will result in a factory reset, even though in my experience it didn't. Better to be prepared and pleasantly surprised.
** This assumes you installed TWRP or another recovery and need to revert to Stock recovery. Although I'd recommend running the full process anyway, as this ensures you have a fully stock /system partition, build.prop, etc. You can try skipping to step 10 if you're still on stock recovery.
1: Run a TWRP and/or Titanium backup, just in case. Grab everything including recovery if using TWRP.
1a: To be on the safe side, make sure you don't have any other update zips at the root of your external SD or internal storage.
2: Download the appropriate 9.4.5.22 file for your device from here:
3: Extract files from within zip
4: Extract files again from the extracted zip
5: Copy extracted "blob" file to root of folder of the removable Micro SD card or some other folder
6: Through ADB shell or Terminal Emulator, run the following: (May take from 5 to 20 minutes)
Code:
su
dd if=/Removable/MicroSD/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
If copying the "blob" file to the SD card in the keyboard dock, use: dd if=/Removable/SD/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
If copying it to the internal memory, use: dd if=/sdcard/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
7: Reboot only if the following is displayed (exact numbers may be different):
Code:
1068769+1 records in
1068769+1 records out
547210197 bytes transferred in 153.991 secs (3553520 bytes/sec)
Update process will automatically launch
8: Once booted up, root device by using debugfs root here
9: Do not make any other changes to build.prop or the /system directory
10: Download the appropriate dlpkgfile. The US version of the update can be downloaded here. I'll add any others as they are posted.
11: Use root explorer to copy "dlpkgfile" into /cache/ directory. Alternatively you could save the "dlpkgfile" in a microSD then open up a adb shell session.
Code:
su
cat /Removable/MicroSD/dlpkgfile > /cache/dlpkgfile
12: Create the file called "command" under /cache/recovery/ directory.
13: Write this statement in the file /cache/recovery/command
Code:
--update_package=/cache/dlpkgfile
14: Finally reboot into recovery kernel by shutting down first, then press and hold "Volume down" + "Power" once it vibrates release "Power" keep holding "Volume down" until there are some text shown on the boot logo screen. Then press "Volume up" within 5 seconds after releasing "Volume down". The update process should start... wait for it to complete. (This will take a little while, as the dalvik-cache will be rebuilt and your camera firmware will be updated. Once it completes, you should have the updated firmware installed on your tablet
15: Once the update is complete and you're at your home screen, you'll need to re-root. Just follow step 8 again.
16: Once rooted again, you can reinstall TWRP according to the original instructions, or just leave stock recovery on for now to avoid having to do this again once the next OTA comes out.

thanks for taking the risk and trying all this out. i just ran through all the steps and it worked perfectly. (i also had TWRP)

Really stupid question incoming, skip this post if you're in a cranky mood...
How can I tell if I'm running TWRP? I used the unlock tool from Asus then the debugfs root method from another thread in this sub. When I boot into recovery I get a red exclamation point over my surgery table android. It just says something along the lines of Android recovery, so I assume that's stock.

Yeah, it sounds like you're on standard recovery, and maybe there's an update file on your SD card or in cache that's failing.
If you follow the OP, it should enable you to update if you haven't yet. It'll pretty much do everything back to default .22 except relocking the bootloader.

Oh, as an afterthought, make sure you don't have any other update zips at the root of your external SD or internal storage, just to be safe.

followed all steps and seems to work. However, in the last step after I created the command file with root explorer, I booted into stock recovery and recovery screen is now just blinking with the Android icon. This does not seem correct! Any suggestions?

How do you mean blinking? Does the android icon have a red triangle?

i think he may have missed the part where he needs to hit volume up after volume down.

Thanks eoh7678! I did have some update zips at root sdcard that seemed to be causing an issue. I deleted the files and uninstalled busybox. Then I redid the command file. Update was successful!!! About tablet now shows IML74K.US_epad-9.4.5.26-20120720.

Nice work. I was not aware you could go back to stock recovery. I may give this a go. I'm really blown away that somebody hasn't released a flashable zip that is custom stock ready yet.

I actually have one mostly ready to go, according to what I've read, but to be honest, I've only ever made update zips for samsung or HTC phones. I've never tried this whole blob thing. TBH, I'm scared to death to try flashing my own creation.

Thank you for posting the howto (you saved me from having to write my method) I did everything from my TF700 using terminal and remote explorer to get recovery reverted and .26 OTA installed.

I'm curious about why to root between installing .22 and upgrading to .26? Does the root method not work on .26? If you root before upgrading to .26 does it retain root natively or do you need to use voodoo root keeper?

I haven't tried the manual update with this one, as I received it OTA before this one was posted, but it erased my su. Happily RootKeeper preserved it.

For me, at least, restoring .22 from the blob removed su. Probably rootkeeper would have solved, but honestly, I figured the safest bet was just to reroot between to make it easier and less prone to problems.

I was having the same problem. My issue was when I downloaded the dlpkgfile a .bin extension was added to the file name. Make sure there is no extension on the filename.

I used ES File Explorer (make sure to check the options in settings to tell it you have a rooted phone) to do everything (including creating the file) and it worked great. ES File Explorer is *awesome* - check it out.

Manual update

Hi, can anyone help me? I'm trying to manual update my tf300t to the new version of 4.2. I download and extracted the file and moved it to the root of my micro SD card. Only problem is that I'm not getting a notification like the last time I manually updated. Any help would be much appreciated

did you unzip the file you downloaded?

Same problem here. Unzipped the file from the asus website. After unzipping is still contains one zip file. Stored this zip file in root of tablet (and later tried with root of SD card). Rebooted tablet, but no notification of new update.
edit: contacted Asus support. They suggested me to do a factory reset and try again. Seems a bit harsh to me, because then I'll lose all my data.

Yes I did unzip the file and saved it to the root of the SD card

Solved it by renaming the extracted file to WW_epad-user-10.6.1.8.zip. For US use US instead of WW

Thank you and nice job!! , mvleeuwen @ #5, it works!!! after I renamed the file name to "US_epad-user-10.6.1.8.zip" for the US version. I thought is because Asus changed the motherboard causes me the problem.

ok i just factory reset my tablet renamed the zip file and the update is still failing, what do i need to do to get it to update? do i need to return it to the original firmware?

what did you do to get this to work? My update keeps failing

here are the steps (I have a US version tablet; for other country, you may just substitute US to WW / JP / TW accordingly.)
1. download the file from ASUS website, so i got "TF300T_US_epaduser_10_6_1_8_SDupdate.zip"
2. Unzip the download file, then I got "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip"
3. Rename the "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip" to "US_epad-user-10.6.1.8.zip", and save it to the root of micro SD
4. insert the micro SD to your tablet, you should see the icon pop up on the right corner down the bottom saying update file detected.
Asus has a guide for TF201, but the process is the same

I tried the process, but the tablet simply ignored the update. I am currently on 10.6.1.8, but support said reapplying this update would clear the HDMI audio out issue. Below is the conversation with Asus.
om loganI recently upgraded my tablet to the latest OTA and now do not have HDMI audio out. I have tried a factory reset, but nothing works. Can I revert back to the previous release?
Jheanell J.I am sorry to hear that you’re having this issue. I will be more than happy to assist you.
Sure, we can try a hard reset of your tablet
This would be done through a digfferent method
tom loganI have already done a hard reset and it did not solve anything. How do I make the HDMI audio out work>?
Jheanell J.Was it the option in the settings that you used for the reset?
tom loganI tried both from the option settings and through using the volume controls to get into a different menu.
Jheanell J.Thank for for the clarification, wanted ensure we covered all the steps
tom loganIs there a way to roll back this upgrade to the previous level in which everything worked?
Jheanell J.A roll back would be done through the reset
Your tablet would return to the state it was when just bought
tom loganA reset simply takes it to the factory specifications of the current level of the OS from the OTA update. Otherwise, after a reset I would be at ICS which I am not.
Jheanell J.What is your current build number?
tom logan10.6.1.8.20130225
Jheanell J.Thank you
Your OTA update is 4.2.2?
tom logan24.2.1
4.2.1
Jheanell J.Are you using the tablet now or another pc
I want to give you the latest firmware compatible with 4.2.1
tom loganI am on a pc
What is the process to update the firmware other than OTA? My tablet is still locked.
Jheanell J.Do you have an sd card in ntfs format?
tom loganyes
Jheanell J.support.as…_1_8_1-UpdateLauncher.zip
3:14 pmPLease click on global(in the middle) and save the file to the sd card
tom loganIs this for USA?
Jheanell J.That is correct
tom loganOnce I save it to the sd card what is the process?
Jheanell J.Ensure the file is extracted , once you insert the card in the tablet the tablet will pick up that a firmware update is available and will execute after you tap on it
tom loganWill this erase any data?
Jheanell J.No this will not erase any of your data
3:19 pmtom loganThank you.

Need help as well
Been searching all over and this thread is the closest i can find. I too want to update to 4.2.2 as I am on 4.2.1. Can anyone link me to the file i need? I dont see it on the asus site other than firmware. Im still locked, non rooted and have long given up hope of unlocking. But i should at least be able to update without calling them for help. I have done it once before but cant find the thread here that posted the link.
Thanks.

I have an issue with wifi and bluetooth not working, so am trying to reinstall the last update.
Current build number is JOP40D.WW_epad-10.6.1.21.1-20130711
I have downloaded the latest WW Firmware from Asus
Formatted Micro SD to Fat 32
Extracted firmware to micro SD root (still a zip file, called WWW_epad-user-10.6.1.21.1.zip)

Select RCK (it's the first option so is already selected)
Volume Up

How to unlock asus transformer tf700?

Hi team
New user for this blog.
I bought an ASUS Transformer TF700t. I had this for 6 months and now it started becoming very slow. It takes lot of time to open & switch apps. Browsing has become very slow. My transformer freezes when it tries to update/install aps.
Iam planning to unlock my device, add some custom ROM to it.

Could you please give me a step by step procedure of unlocking, rooting, backing up my device and install custom ROM (please specify what custom Rom install to speed up my Asus transformer for browsing) to speed up my TF700T.
Thanks and appreciate your help in sdvance.

Hey there, I would love to help you out with your customization of your TF700T.. Shoot me a email at [email protected] and I can give some good pointers with getting this done... Thx as always lj

Hi can you include me for the help on unlocking and installing a custom ROM.
I've gotten as far as downloading the unlock tool but I'm unable to open the file "Unlock_v8-1.rar".
I just get a message " Open File Failed" I also downloaded to to my desktop then copied it to the sd card and tried to open it from there with the same results.
I'm using an app called filemanager,
When I go to settings/storage/downloads/Unlock_v8.rar it says "Can't open file"
OK, I finally got it, I tried the ICS version and now my tablet is unlocked. Now what?

.rar is an archive file. You have to decompress it on your PC with 7-zip or a similar application. The result will be an apk file which you can copy to your tablet. Just tap it to install (unknown sources in Settings > Security needs to be checked).

And if your tablet doesn't unlock because of the "Network Error" you can hang up the whole idea! Asus won't help you unlock it! So you're just stuck with what you have.

I have it unlocked, TWRP in working, I put Cromi-x on the sd card and it appeared to load.
Then when I tap finish and reboot I get an ASUS splash screen then another ASUS screen with "In search of incredible" under ASUS and a revolving circle, nothing else happens, I left it going all night and its still the revolving circle.
I've tried both ODEX and DEODEX versions with the same result.
Any ideas?
