Hi,
It's my first Android tablet... so pls be gentle.
I got the Transformer last night and I rooted it based on the guide :
[GUIDE] ROOT for ASUS eee pad transformer (TF101)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035197
I got it working with BLOB_V5.
But I just found out my back camera is not working (front working fine)
I think the reason is my Build number HRI66.US_epad-8.2.2.6.1-20110325.
I didnt update to the latest one which is 8329.
So, I would like to know how can I update it to 8329?
I tried just put the zip file in and ran it, then it reboots and goes into the CWM Recovery. And seems like it wont allow me to update...
So, my guess is to remove CWM and unroot it.
BUt how can I get back to the stock?
It's my first time rooting... so I am not sure what should I do next...
Thanks in advance

I believe you have to download the official update off the asus site push the blob included in the update and run the dd command using the asus blob instead of the cwm blob
Also the easiest way to fix the camera is to just flash a rom (prime or titx) my camera and bluetooth were shot after i rooted. Flashing prime fixed and is running great

hmm... Maybe, you can try reset to default of TF101 as following step.
settings -> Privacy -> personal data -> factory data reset
Just to be clear...

I just want to be clear before I attempt to unroot. If I understand the above post correctly, I would modify the instructions to read:
Code:
Return to the shell from step 6 and do the following commands:
11. run “dd if=/data/local/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4″
12. reboot the device, on reboot you should see a progress bar indicating the flashing of the “blob”
That is, of course, after downloading the zip from Asus and unzipping it to get to the actual blob named "blob" and pushing that to /data/local with adb. Am I correct? And someone has done this successfully? I just want to be 100% clear.

I purchased a previously rooted transformer and wish to unroot it. This is my first android device so I have read up and done my homework and now I believe I am ready to un root the device. These questions may be redundant, but all I have to do is push the blob from the most recent asus firmware update to the transformer, and then run it as outlined in step 11? Or do I have to follow steps 6 through 11 to a T in order for it to un root properly. I am fairly sure I can disregard the steps 1-5, correct? I just need a little (lot) of clarification since I am an Android virgin so to say.
edit: deleted because it's not working
followed it to a tee and it is boot looping now what?????/
Oh No!
fullthrottleenergy said:
Yup. First thing is download the asus firmware and extract the blob and then push it to data/local
7. run “adb push blob /data/local”
This takes about 5-10 minutes as it's a pretty big file.
Once that's complete type in adb shell and you should be in root (#). then just type or copy and paste from below and reboot.
11. run “″
flashing of the “blob”
Optional but I did it. After it reboots I reset it to factory (in settings). Then I copied the Asus folder (newest firmware) and placed it on my microsd card and let it do its thing. Remember to back up anything on the internal memory as it's going to get wiped when you do a factory reset.

I pushed the blob with no problem then typed "adb shell" to get to root and copied and pasted "dd if=/data/local/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4" and pressed enter. Upon reboot, I saw the progress bar fill up and then the Transformer rebooted. Now it is in a continual loop where it restarts (and my windows xp recognizes it), makes a click noise, shows the EEE Pad with the ASUS below start up screen, then after about ten seconds restarts to the home screen all over again. If i try to start in recovery mode it attempts it enter it, then I get the triangle with the exclamation point in it next to the android logo. I seriously think I'm fuc*ed. I knew I shouldn't have tried this. AND I REALLY NEED HELP! please I'm begging anyone. I've only had the thing for a week!
this is how I fixed mine.
same issue.
put on your micro sd card in the root of the card the update normally found in the asus/update/ folder you download from asus. I used the .9 us update worked fine, you must then rename it to EP101_SDUPDATE make sure you leave it a zip dont change the extension make sure it is on the root of the card.
then put your card in your transformer, hold the down volume and power till it prompts you in the upper left let go and push down on the volume again, which will load the factory recovery and will begin to flash the update do not bother it. it will restart and your good.
For anyone else that wants to unroot, the step mentioned previously work, I've done it myself and my Transformer no longer has root or CWM and it kept all of my information intact. You just download the firmware from Asus, extract to the point that you get a large file (mine was ~500MB) named 'blob', push that to your SD card, run the dd command swapping out the name of the file. My dd command if section looked like this "if=/sdcard/blob" and change nothing else of that command, reboot and it'll do its thing. Not sure about the bootloops. That is the ONLY command I modified and issued, nothing else from the tutorial, just that command.
Hello guys, as you know, the latest one click root that worked on the Transformer was SparkyRoot. Well, with the newest EeePad update (9.2.1.21), it is impossible to root without PC. Well, I have completely cracked the EeePad code. You will be amazed with the options included in my new one click root app. Try it and see for yourself! (Also works on TF201 and SF101 slide) Here is the download link. http://depositfiles.com/files/jp4hcc5ze
That's great to hear. To bad I'm already rooted so I can't try it.
Should make it easy for those needing to root if it work.
Didn't work set cpu and titanium back up didn't work

First off..thanks for giving it a go..
Looking forward to hearing some solid reports.
You might want to put a little more detail into your OP..
As your post count is not up and your other threads are still feely new..
I am looking at picking up a new TF B60 next week and if this works as it should,of course will be willing to give it a go..

Yes, there are problems with it. It seems to give partial root access, but not full root. I am working hard to fix the bugs. For some reason, root apps aren't detecting the root, but I was able to edit system files with no problems. The undetected installation for apps works, and transforming the tablet into Linux and MAC work. For some reason, windows is glitching up. Any ideas on how to get apps to detect root?
When i see partial root usually the su is not getting install to system/xbin but it is in system/bin. See that with the OTA root keeper sometimes.
Any movement or progress on this?

Can you move it manually via terminal from bin to xbin? If so does that get you a full root?

I don't know how this apps work but with OTA Rootkeeper you can copy su from system/bin to system/xbin and that solved it most of the times.
There is still bugs in this app. I am working hard to fix them. The su is in xbin, but still not full access. I heard undetected installation is known to glitch up and corrupt files. Maybe I need to remove undetected installation and do normal installation. But when you do normal installation for superuser (through app) it says "There was a problem parsing the package". Maybe use an alternative package installer?
Have you gotten any further in developing your app?
Yes, I got the windows transformation working. Few apps are detecting root, though. Screenshot apps detect it, and a few root managers work as well. Most arent detecting it, though. Also, syncing files doesnt work...
I have my one-click done, it's in my sig and called PERI.
Uses symlinking as found by wolf to grant root.
I'll be making an on tf app too soon. This is all completely open source and 100% working on the 3 tf101 based tfs. You can take a look at the code if you like, it's very simple.
Yes, I am familiar with PERI. PERI isnt an app, though. My Asus Root Menu is a one-click from the device-No PC required.
The commands can be run On-Tf, and I'm in progress of developing an app to put on the TF right now. Should work with 100% success. Then finally out of beta. If you need any assistance with building yours too I'm willing to help.
EDIT:
--
And dude, you're running into problems I almost GUARANTEE, because you're using andromo. Those 'make apps no coding required' wysiwyg tools are total junk. Code it the old-fashioned way :]
What method are you using too Root? I couldn't find any actual commands that are run by your app, just a bunch of invoke pages to text with nothing really attached too it except some ads stuff.. I apologize if I missed it.
And how in the world did you get linux/mac and windows 7 on there if the apk is only ~276KB A system image installer for the Ubuntu ARM image mabye, but there isn't an image for windows or mac (and both are closed-source).
--
Superuser needs to be flashed via recovery/bootloader/adb in a non-locked environment. This is probably where the problem parsing package error comes from.
--
Has anyone sides the OP gotten this too work even partially?
Yes, it has partially rooted a few people, and some people got full root. I have recieved many pm's about it. How is your app coming along?

** 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.

If the bootloader comes pre unlocked, you've found yourself a pretty good device. Warranty+custom roms.

Hi,i'm not a developer and so far most of that soft looks like diagnostic tools but a dev should know better.As for using the tablet i don't know if it's a good idea to keep it (i would return it) mostly because of the serial number (have you checked the logs to see if the device try to communicate with Asus server?) and because is clear that such a device was used for testing so maybe it was an early sample...anyway it's your call.If you keep it you can try to root ,unlock and than install the custom recovery so you can do a nandroid backup before wipe everything.
I would root, try to unlock get recovery installed and take a backup and post it.

I agree that this will most likely get returned. Just want to get all the goodies first.
I do think I'll have to return it. Too many screwy things going on here.
As for dumping, I thought the same lines a la Nandroid.
Of course, if I unlock the bootloader to install a custom recovery, then I wouldn't be able to return it....

Only problem is... BestBuy doesn't have these in stock, which is why I had to order it shipped from BestBuy.com
Now I'll have to wait more days for another one to ship
I might try to "update" the software OTA, but I've read several other threads mentioning that OPEN_epad cannot be easily updated OTA.
I don't have any internet connection on this thing turned on yet, in case it tries to dial home and updates before I dump useful stuff, or gets remotely locked and/or wiped.
I'll flip on some wifis and see what System Update does for me.
UPDATE: System Firmware Update simply returns "There is no update available for your device currently." Guess I'll have to try harder to wipe away the OPEN_epad build.
adb pull /system
I just pulled everything on /system. A log is attached.
If anyone wants anything in there, let me know.
/system
413,136,276 bytes
UPDATE: I had a problem pulling /data, so here's a list for now (attached)
[email protected]:/ # cd /data
[email protected]:/data # ls -alR
UPDATE: removed attached lists of files for security
dumps
Alright.... I got some help and I dumped /system /data first32 (half the bootloader, recovery, boot, provisioning certificate...)
The dev I worked with over on freenode.net#asus-transformer is much more skilled than I, so now these are .img dumps, rather than just pulling individual files.
If anyone thinks they can find diamonds in that rough, let me know.

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?
Stock TF700T on 4.2.1
Nice tutorial that got me started over here:

.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?
