If i will root my pad with 7.1 Rootkit - will the rootkit automatically install CWM? Or do i have to install CWM another way?

It will install a "safe" version of CWM recovery (but it's not the latest release). I recommend that you update recovery to the latest version available after rooting your phone.

Thanks! But how to update CWM - just download the new CWM.zip and flash it via the old CWM?

Download the latest CWM .zip and flash it in recovery.

Look at the serial number of your pad - it starts with "Bxx".

Yes, thats exactly the reason. Read the first post at the Rootkit-Thread once again:
This method still doesn't work for B70 revision Pads

Hi,

Yes, it depends on the tablet.

[Q] Benefits of rooting?

Although I am not new to the rooting process; i have rooted, flashed, and unrooted by Droid X. However this asus eee pad transformer is a more valuable device that I am more hesitant to root. This past weekend I helped rooted by friend's Transformer but I am not likely to follow this rooting process. I am not sure of the benefits other than overclocking and rom flashing. I may want to root the Transformer but I am not sure if I can root it and still be able to get the ICS update pushed out by Asus. Can you guys explain if I can get this update when I have a rom flashed or I will have to set it back to stock and unroot it. Also can you guys explain more benefits of rooting this device.
Thanks,
Ryan

root only will not stop OTA update. It's when you install custom ROM and/or CWM recovery is when OTA update will fail.
Just ask your self if you're happy with it root or non root. Personal prefernces.

Is there an easy way to get rid of the CWM recovery and have it back to normal just in time for the update. I have used the rootkit v7 on my friends Transformer and I think it put CWM recovery already for you. So in other words, is their a easy way to get back to normal stock root or stock without root???

I think if your rooted and the update comes out you will only have to wait a few hours maybe a day at most for one of the devs to release a stock Ics ROM with root and superuser and all you would have to do is flash it.
At least that's how I think it goes based off past experience with Evo 4g and Evo 3D

I'm also considering rooting my transformer but have second thoughts like you about tablet costing more if something goes wrong compared to a phone.... But I think rooting now before the Ics update comes it'll be better for us due to the fact that when Ics update comes out it has the potential to block any way of rooting the transformer and like I said in last post rooting now then flashing a rooted version of Ics will benefit us by getting the update and not loosing root.
Now I just need to figure out how to root my new transformer I'm on the latest update 8.6.5.21-20111216 and find a stocked rooted ROM
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated and THANKS will be given!! :beer:

This may sound like a stupid question but since this is an old repack version of the asus rom. Does this mean that we have to download and install every firmware that asus pushed out or will it skip a few and head to the latest firmware??? (i think i made the question harder to understand. Just tell me if you need me to clarify)

You should be able to update to the latest. If not you could always download the latest version from Asus website and try to manually update through the stock recovery.

sounds a bit risky, i just stick with the old firmware and if I have to keep on updating it, seems safer. What rom do you have on your Transformer and how are the features compared to the others???

I use Roach's Prime 2.1.1. Happy with it so I never bother trying anything else.
If and when ICS get released I'm pretty sure Roach will cook something up
if not CyanogenMod might have something also.

Are their videos on this rom? I know i seen a few on the Revolver Rom but haven't seen any Prime video's.

Price check?

Hello everyone. I just wanted to check to make sure im getting a good deal here. Someone is on their way to me with a 32gb tf300 with dock, car charger, and boxes in supposedly near perfect shape. Is $280 usd still a good deal for a 32gb version? They will be here in an hour so any quick feedback is appreciated
Also, I know the screen isnt as good as the tf201 which I previously owned, but ill primarily be using it indoors to watch netflix on rather than my note 2. Im going to guess its more than fine for that purpose right? Ill likely be NRGizing it

Oh well. Bought it anyway. I'm surprised no one chimed in though. Seems like 280 to my door delivered was good enough. Just unlocked the BL / flashed twrp / and am running NRG on it

Thats exactly what I was looking for. I wasnt sure how much the 16 and 32gb are going for Looks like I did get a deal indeed as mine is the 32Gb model ! Right now im running NRG's rom though. It was fully updated to 4.2 when I got it but luckily I found the TWRP specific to it that worked. I may take the time today and downgrade it though. Im not sure if its the BL or what but this thing is terribly laggy. It was worse with Cromix than with nrg's. Ive read everywhere that people recommend doing the fastboot downgrade to 4.1 ( to get 4.1's bootloader i assume ).
Thanks all for your input

When i buy any electronic device on craigslist, i use the manufacturer's method for wiping it completely clean and starting over. For you, that would be factory reset from TWRP (include wiping internal sdcard) fastboot the latest official blob file from asus, flash TWRP and then install the ROM of choice. You never know what the other guy did with/to it :/

/agree.
Already done my friend When I first got it, it was bone stock but fully updated to 4.2. Stock worked smooth but Cromi and NRG seemed to jitter / hiccup when i FINALLY got twrp working. Im thinking it had something to do with the bootloader and rom combo. I just used FB and went to 4.1 and installed TWRP 2.4.4.0 as that seems to be the combination that works well. Im currently downloading Cromi again to give it another go. What kernel are you using ?
Right now im sitting on stock 4.1.1 build 10.4.2.20 with TWRP 2.4.4.0

Im running the Stock moddified 10.6.1.15.3 kernel on my own ROM. Granted there is SOME jitteryness, but in all honesty, it more than likely is the app. Facebook especially, it tries performing background tasks to update your news feed, and im not sure whats with them but they fail to use the dual core and higher of the device. 99 percent of the devices are dual core or higher, i find facebook to only wanna use the main core -.- causing the most amount of lag.

I think for now I will use stock rooted 4.1.1 with Unters Kernel. It seems to run pretty smooth. Much better than any other alternatives ive tried so far. Why did Asus have to make things difficult >.> Roms specific to bootloaders..... ugh

True enough..... twas the same with my tf201 if I remember correctly ( or tf101...... i forget LOL ). Anyway, Im glad I picked this thing up. Its not as bright as my TF201 ( obviously ), but the wifi is a million times better and thats after I soldered stronger antenna to the board >.> I damn near made an external mod on it but decided to dump it instead. The note 2 has been amazing

rooted but not unlocked - overclock?

Is there a way to overclock without unlocking?

I don't believe so. This requires a kernel that can OC, and I don't think you can flash a new kernel while locked. Unless someone else knows different I think your stuck. If you decide to unlock give CROMI-X a try with _thats3 kernel, you might find you have no need for overclocking.

No there is not, because the stock kernel is not made to overclock. I agree with post #2, that's V3 kernel runs spendid.

I have made a terrible error, i have formatted my device (internal storage) with TWRP. Now i haven't any OS. I have a zip file for custom rom but i can't put this file in my device with TWRP because my device is not recognize by my computer.
How can i have my device work again?
Thank's a lot because i don't know what i do.

Put the zip on a sd card and put that in your tablet and you can flash it with twrp from there

this is the start of my problem : i found that my device is sometimes slow specially when i switch into menus or in web surfing...
So, i say "if i change rom, maybe my problem will be solved". I don't know what rom choose, have you an idea for me : i want a rom fastest without bug with good surf experience and no lags.
I think test hydro 8 or Cromi..

Cromi-x mate all the way and very simple to flash hydro is a good choice but for me cromi edges it
