Same Problems with 8.6.5.21-20111216

For now I guess we need to wait.. Unfortunately ASUS seems to be against rooting..

Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately, this upgrade automatically when i've connect the pad in wifi...
I've another question, is it possible to downgrade the firmware? Because it's impossible for new user to use Rom or to be superuser...

I flashed 8.6.5.21 in APX mode today first time - Brk's rootkit is no good, it fails 99% of the time to see the TF in APX Mode
Just grab a NVFlashable ROM like Prime, move the 3 images into the folder of the tabletroms unbricking tools replacing the 3 stock img's with custom rom, then run download.bat

why are you trying to enter apx mode if you have B80 ? you need to wait for razorclaw to be updated you can not use apx mode to flash on B70 + models

You have zero options for root. Stop trying and wait for a possible exploit to be found.

So i rooted my B50 .21 using Root ToolKit. APK mode does not make a noise on .21 open your device and printers and look out for it. simple as that then run the tool. it worked for me. HAPPY ROOTING

Sorry for the question but, where you see the B50 or B70 numbers??
Thanks

It is a part of the serialnumber from your tablet.
It is on a sticker at the bottom (where the 40pins connector is located) of your tablet.

yes, it is incremental, it was about time BB started showing up on shelves, in about 2 or 3 weeks we will probably see C1

How can I root TF300 on JB with locked bootloader?

Sorry for the [noob]
I lost root with OTA (I didn't know about OTA rootkeeper)
I have read and read to no avail.
Is there a solution to root w/o unlocking the bootloader, or must we wait? Any idea if the Nexus 7 root toolkit will work? I have not been able to try as of yet.

Not yet. The former methods no longer work due to a permissions update.

Sorry but I failed while deleting this piece of letters.

Bump
Any luck with this, i've sent it in twice to asus and they still haven't fixed it. Still says network error. on 4.1.1

Odd issue with cwm for JB.

Ok I hope you all can help sort something out for me. I just got a refurbished TF300T a couple days ago. I unlocked it in ICS and then it forced the OTA of 4.1.1 on me. I had no problem getting ADB drivers in and flashed the jelly bean recovery. I rebooted into recovery and there was cwm. I tried flashing the rootzip that is out there but it did not work. I then tried to do a bakup and it failed. I then realized i could not see emmc only sd.
Any ideas.
I have a rooted modded nooktab so i am somewhat familar with these devices but i am stumped.
Thanks for the help

I'd try manually flashing the firmware and then flashing CWM again, or TWRP which some users will argue is much better than CWM.

Thanks for the tips. Yea in a tough spot. Not sure what to do. I will,search around. You think flashing the firmware will work. Should i flash stock recovery too.
Odd issue. Wonder why they did this?

Just read the post again if you are still on 4.1.1 the disreguard what i had mention theres probably away to fix which im sure some one can help but what i had talked about was the 4.2.1 jb update attempting to root on that is a no go. So just ignore that post. I'm on stock 4.2.1 but unlocked bootloader so can't help there cant go any further myself at the moment.
In my setup menu theres an option to add seperate users some seem to think that it encrypts the information so another person who has access under another user name cant see another person info. Sound logical to me but really messed things up for us.
Now still thats all just speculation no one knows for sure what the exact issue is with the 4.2.1 update is yet but best advice is to wait till it's figured out.

Reflashing stock img will flash back stock recovery, so I'd just do what I said, you should be good.

10.6.1.14.8

I have heard that doing a system update on a rooted device might mess things up so I am asking if 10.6.1.14.8 update is worth the trouble to re root the device?

a re-root is pretty quick on MotoChopper isn't it?
Or just use OTA_rootkeeper

I'm on 10.6.1.14.8, unlocked and rooted, and would like to install CROMi-Xenogenesis 4.6.1. Is it safe to do so or do I need 10.6.1.14.4 as it's stated in the Cromi-x thread?

It will work fine mate

Thank You Sir!

But do I need to un root before doing the update or? If it is even possible to un root.

If you are rooted you can update fine. Either use ota root keeper or motochopper to reroot as you will lose root during the upgrade process. Also make sure you haven't deleted any Asus system apps or modified them else the ota update process will fail.

Try: Device/storage/emulated/0
The file system on JB 4.2 is driving me mad! Just hate it! The stock file browser just "knows" where to look, but I am used to having control of my file structure and this just sucks!
It's due to the multiple user account option in 4.2 supposedly.... and I don't use that anyway

Unfortunatley no, think of the bootloader like the UEFI/BIOS (Not exactly the same but for this explanation) on a PC. The device needs the ASUS specific bootloader to ensure the hardware functions in the OS, A GRUB bootloader would not be able to do this and the device would be "bricked" due to the different standards of the bootloaders and the GRUB bootloader not being device specific. An alternative to your idea would be to install a version of Ubuntu on your device using the thread here as this will use bootloaders and software specific to your device to load up the Ubuntu operating system. I hope I could help you re-purpose your tablet and good luck

Before giving up, try all the one-click root apps like Kingroot, Kingoroot, Towel Root, Z4r root, framaroot, etc.
Hit thanks if i helped you!
