[Q] Revolver 4 Beta to Stock Rom 9.2.1.11

Apologies for being noob in TF (my first Android thing).
I've been playing with my TF101 B80 with updated ICS 4, successfully rooted with ViperMod, installed Revolver 4 beta (9.2.1.11)by gnufabio..
My question:
How can I safely revert back to Stock Rom with root?
Bit afraid to try any Stock Rom posted everywhere without advise from pros.
Thanks.

nvflash it, its the safest way i know of, but you have to have sbk1 but if you dont want to loose data flash it in CWM, wipe dalvik, and then flash it, unless your transformer implodes, but go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334673here if you flash via cwm, its alot easier

I have seen this posted here, and elsewhere.
Simple - Go to the ASUS Support site and download the latest ICS firmware for your version (WW, US, JP, TW, CN, etc).
Unzip the file 1 time (it will still be a zip file) and place it on a microSD card.
Boot into CWM recovery.
Choose zip from SD
Select the zip from the microSD
Once it finishes installing you will be back to 100% stock unrooted ROM and it will also flash back to stock recovery.

Thanks.

[Q] Root tablet without computer?

I have a tf300 with jellybean firmware JRO03C.US_epad-10.4.2.9-20120809 and the bootloader is unlocked.
I can charge my tablet, but any computer i try, it cannot connect to the computer.
Is there any way I can root it? Thanks for the help!

You can install TRWP 2.2.2.0 with Terminal Emulator apk
If you can push the blob files on your internal SDcard, after you can just follow the process TWRP 2.2 - Asus Transformer TF300T(G) page
but for rooted your TF, you will need one computer...

If you get the recovery working. I would assume you could flash a new rom stock or custom thats rooted already

[Q] TF101 can't mount internal sdcard

I tried to unbrick my tablet using pretty easy recovery installer, and now my TF101 won't detect it's own sdcard. I tried factory resetting, flashing a new ROM, even tried restoring an old backup. Nothing works. The strange thing is, it was working fine before on those same roms. It wasn't until I managed to run the full exploit that that happened. Please, help... I hate this thing... I just want to wipe it so I can sell this thing! Can anybody tell me how ti fix this thing?!

Use easy flash and go back to stock ROM... it will remove superuser and everything else and give you a completely stock Asus... follow the instructions on easy flash and you should be able to solve it..

[Q] Rooted my verizon s3 with instructions on this forum and now I'm am stuck

Everything was fine with the root however I used a font app installer that got the phone stuck in a boot loop (on the rainbow screen). How do I get back to rooted JB?

Did you do a back up of your original rom? You need to get back into recovery...
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

No I didn't. I didn't see that in the instructions or I missed it. Any thoughts on how to get back to rooted JB?

Well if the font app got you into the boot loop then I don't think you lost root, I would get back into recovery wipe cache and hit reboot... See if that works... Good luck
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Unfortunately, I tried that. I think I did an accidental factory reset too but nothing has brought it back from the boot rainbow screen.

Did you unlock using EZ Unlock v1.2? You only mentioned that you rooted.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

No, I didn't use that. I followed the instructions to root found here (worked no problem until I met that $&#^%#& app) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439 I think I can reset using Odin I just don't know what to use

Aight, well did you unlock the bootloader? Your response dictates the suggested route to resolve this.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

I did follow the instructions to unlock the bootloader

If that's the case then you just need to boot into recovery and flash a rom. If you were running just stock rooted & unlocked VRBLK3, it's easier to just flash a rooted stock rom like the official VRBLK3 leak here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034118
Try just flashing that, without wiping, then boot into the rom.
or
If you were on a custom rom, just reflash that rom via recovery and you'll be fine. Unfortunately you lose all your settings of you wipe data in recovery so try reflashing either option without wiping if you absolutely need to try recovering whatever data already exists in your current rom. If this doesn't work, format data, wipe cache then flash the rom.

I will give it a shot and let you know. Thanks so much! I was on stock ROM btw.

Cool, this should work

Ok, this is a zip file. Does it have to be on the phone? If so, how do I put it there?

Yes it does need to be there. If you have an sdcard just drag and drop onto it directly then flash in your custom recovery. Conversely, you should be able to boot into recovery and try connecting your phone to the laptop then dragging the zip over.
The longer method will be to Odin flash VRBLK3 and start all over from there.

I don't use CWM but did you go to Mounts and Storage and select "Mount /sdcard"? Does it connect now?

I went there but it didn't seem to do anything when I selected mount sdcard and conversely didn't connect either

Aight well since that failed, you have to do this the long way: Odin flash the VRBLK3 rooted image from your laptop onto your phone. Choose one of the two images for VRBLK3 and follow the directions.

That worked! Thanks so much. Now, what is the best practice for backing things up so that I don't have this problem again? Should I root first then backup? Do I still have to unlock bootloader? Just wanting to handle this properly from this point forward.

It should be rooted already if you installed the Odin files from MrRobinson thread. It should come with either SuperSU or SuperUser correct? You also should still be unlocked but you can re-unlock using EZ Unlock v.1.2 from the following thread and you're undeniably unlocked. You'll hear a brief audio message if it worked.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32456-app-920-ez-unlock-14-easiest-way-to-unlock-your-bootloader/
Also, please perform a nandroid back in CWM so you have something stable to return to if something goes awry in the future. That backup would have cut all this down to one simple step. You don't need to be unlocked to perform a nandroid however you do need to be rooted with a custom recovery.
Lastly, perform an IMEI backup using the "Comprehensive IMEI Backup" thread in the dev section. Do this and save the resulting Synergy zip from backup methods A and B in more than one place not on your phone. This is more so a precaution because flashing things in recovery can and may result in a complete loss of connection with Verizon.

No idea about the toolkits, since I've never needed it. If you dont want to risk bricking your device via bad toolkits, you can check out how to get nvflash (sorta like fastboot, but not) working on your device directly and use that to flash alternate recovery:
http://androidroot.mobi/2012/05/27/introducing-wheelie-nvflash-for-asus-transformer-tf101-b70/
As for ROM...
I recommend my CM10.1 builds. Stable. Has nightly builds if you want a constant stream of updates. About as fast as this device gets. Certainly much better than anything stock has to offer.
I would also recommend Timduru's Team EOS ROM. He does a fantastic job maintaining it and has rapid updates as well. It's not CM. It's Team EOS. It's different.
Both are 4.2-based. Try both and see which one you like

I know that PERI still works to install CWM, and also EasyFlasher works to root in APX mode.
The last time I flashed back to stock I used Wolf's Method 3 to root so I could jump straight to TWRP 2.3.2.3.
PERI installs a version of CWM. If you are going to run any 4.2 ROMs, you should use TWRP 2.3.2.3 or RaymanFX's 6.X.X.X recoveries to handle the new multi-user file structure.
EasyFlasher flashes 2.2.X.X TWRP. You can just replace the TWRP blob in the file structure with the 2.3.2.3 if you want and flash straight to 2.3.2.3.
I have gotten more into using adb and terminal commands with working on some boot animations, so I used Wolf's method to jump straight to TWRP.

Thank you guys

Sure.
I would still use TWRP myself, but you can just load the files you want to flash on the /sdcard/ directory.
I know that TWRP will not wipe the /sdcard/ directory unless you wipe the data partition. A factory reset in recovery only wipes the /data/ partition and skips the /data/media/ partition (/sdcard/).
Keep in mind, if you do not have a microSD and you get to a point where you cannot boot other than to recovery, you will need to use adb to push a zip file to the /sdcard/ to flash it.
IMO, it is worth the $10-$15 to get a small (4-16 GB) microSD to do nandroid backups and make it easier to flash ROMs.
Also, many of the CWM recoveries can only see the /sdcard/. I know that the RaymanFX Hybrid CWM 6.X.X.X has a few versions, Internal only, External Only and Hybrid (can see both internal and external) storage.

You need to hold those keys until the splash screen comes.
When it tells you to press vol up to boot recovery you release per +boom down and just press vol up.
It should then tell you it is boring recovery before the twrp spak screen appears.
