How to return to stock?

I bought a used transformer this past weekend and its already running prime overclocked to 1.6ghz. My question is how do I return to stock so I can install the icecream sandwich update when it become available? Every other android device I've owned has had a one click restore of some soft but I can't seem to.find anything here like that. If someone could please point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

i believe first everyone will tell you to search extensively about your topic and the answers are available.
i will however help ya out with the specifics of what your lookin for.(and just so you know the devs will probably get you ICS before asus does or very shortly thereafter, so you might want to consider your options once you do your research)
your going to wanna look up the differences in device serial number versions the pre b70 versions and the b70+ versions. look into the sbkv1 and sbkv2(secure boot key). its very likely yours is a pre b70 which for now is probably good. the later versions have a locked bootloader and the more powerful tool nvflash doesnt work currently.
i belive yours is older (but be sure!!!) and should be able to utilize the nvflash method of unrooting/unbricking. this is what you wanna reasearch....
im in the earning process myself and want to better the transformer community anyway i can and im a firm believer that knowledge is power...............but also comes with responsibility
if you have questions by all means ask but you really should spend some time researching your device and this community and exhaust your intelligence before calling on someone elses....i say this only because many more experienced members will really get on you for asking questions you can answer your self... youve gotten this far your on the right track.
beyond that i will glady help anyone i can and im learning as well so im hungry for the info i guess...
Anyone see what im saying as wromg or misguided plz let me know....

Yeah mine is the original purchased in may.

Hello,
I agree with the question. How can I return to the Stock ROM?
At the Moment i have the Revolution HD on mein TF.
I search, but i cant find the answer
thx for your help

Heck the easiest way I know of to flash to stock is nvflash a stock ROM. Just did that to send back my TF for an RMA, No trouble at all, Snag a stock ROM from Asus website (or here on XDA). Search nvflash and you'll be good to go, Very straightforward process, really.

Thanks for your answer.
I rootet my Pad with Brks_rootkit_v7.1.
I think this program was made a backup from original stock rom befor i rootet my pad. Is this correct?
Can i use Brks_rootkit_v7.1 to become to original stock?
thx

Yep, if you have a backup from your stock made by brks rootkit 7.1 then you can put your tablet back to stock rom.
If you don't have a backup stock rom, then go to tabletroms.com and search in the forum for asus transformer nvflash unbricking tools, this is a tool from zerofeel. This solutions works really well and I use it to keep getting back to original stock rom, before I put a new rom and kernel on my tablet.
Good-luck with it and remember use it at your own risk.

But nvflash doesn't work with b70+, is there a guide to go back without nvflash? Besides that, i got the latest DE Firmware and i want to have a possibility to go back to stock before i root..just in case...is there any way?

[Q] root methods for TF101 running on ICS?

I have a transformer TF101 running on stock ICS(US), trying root it but unable with any of the existing methods as I have a B90.. As per my understanding many of tablet owners with B70 and all B80 and B90 owners are in the same boat... Is there anyone who figured out how to root these tablets? I hate stock ICS as there are many bugs and frankly I'm surprised at ASUS releasing this kind of OTA update..!!!
I have asked brk(maker universal toolkit v7. 1) he said he's unable to help and told me to find some other way (razorclaw r nachoroot).... So I will be happy if some one will help me here and I'm sure many others will appreciate the help.
Before anyone can say something "I'm not a n00b no I know what's happening with rooting"...
I had rooted my tablet when I hah HC 3.2 but I unrooted it as I thought I won't get OTA update of ICS (well I was a fool).... Hey in my defense I was itching for ICS... :-D

[Q] Quick question about the TF101

I just got my transformer (C20 s/n) with the latest ICS from ota.
I would like root access, perhaps flashing a stable JB rom along the way if one exists (project butter sounds promising!).
So can someone point me in the right direction? I've read through the stickies but the transformer section is quite messy and fragmented (no offense) so I'm having trouble telling whether the guides are up-to-date or suicidal.
I'm an android newbie (but winmobile/ios dev! :cyclops: ) so pointers will be much appreciated.
arigato! :angel:

[Q] What's your recommendation....

Hello community, I currently own a TF300T, but decided to upgrade to the TF700 after using the 300 for a week or so... I had a 15 day grace period to "try it out" per say... haha. I did that with a few other tablets too cause I just couldn't decide which one to get but now im certain I want the TF700. Anyway's... Its going to be here Monday and im pretty sure it'll come ICS stock and I was wondering what you recommend to do for me to root it. Do I root before it does the update? Is it possible to root from JB stock with out unlocking the bootloader? I know there are a lot of forums in reguards to this subject but Im not sure how old they are of if things have changed. Can someone just point me in the right direction or just give me a list of links in which order to apply? It would be much appreciated. I love these tablets by asus, dont necessarily like asus themselves but they make a good product and I dont want a very expensive brick. My basic goal here is to just be stock rooted with JB. I dont really want any special rom's atm. Thanks in advance!!!

See the root thread in general

If it comes with ICS .26 or earlier, make *sure* that you save the blobs needed in order to use NVFlash *before* you upgrade it to Jelly Bean. If you save your blobs, you will be able to use NVFlash forever, meaning that you can recover from almost any "brick" situation.
Check out the NVFlash thread for more details. If you upgrade to Jelly Bean before saving the required blobs, you will *not* be able to use NVFlash.

+1 -- very sound advice. No matter what you do when it comes in, no matter what you are planning to o with it for its entire lifetime, put Nvflash on it while you can. There's no way back once you upgrade to stock JB -- not for now, and there may never be. Once you have done that, your 700 will dance to whatever tune you play and there's not much risk of you bricking it so thoroughly you cannot recover it (relatively) easily.
(For reasons of performance, I'd highly recommend reconsidering flashing a custom ROM. That might be something for the future; just wanted to bring it up. )

[Q] How to unlock TF700 on JB

Hi everyone,
I've been slowly easing myself into the world of TF700 mods. I've been reading up A LOT on how to root, unlock, flash custom ROMs, etc. So far, I've started out by simply rooting my TF700. I figure this is a good way to get a feel for all this stuff without taking too much of a risk. After rooting, I updated to the latest JB via OTA, while keeping root (using OTA Rootkeeper).
But as I get more and more comfortable, I'm wanting more and more to get into flashing of custom ROMs. My understanding is that the bootloader needs to be unlocked to do this. The problem is, after scouring the internet, I've been unable to figure out how to unlock my tablet while on JB. Can anyone point me to an explanation of how to do this? Or will I HAVE to revert to ICS in order to do this (as I had to in order to root my JB device in the first place)?
Thanks a lot!

You have to use a different search engine, my friend!
The answers to your questions are right in this forum, and the relevant threads are at the top in this General section as stickies
Check out the Official Asus TF700 all-in-one thread by Pretoriano80 and also his index of tools (you'll need those later).
While you're at it start reading the CleanRom Inheritance Help thread by Thibor69 and in general: start browsing here, get familiar with the lingo, use the search function if you're interested in a particular topic (although - I have to admit the forum search engine su..., ahem - could be better. Using Google search and selecting the xda threads showing there is what I usually do).
Well, and then, if you really, really have searched high and low, far and wide, and cannot find the answer to your question, there are many, many very knowledgeable people here just dying to help you out
Welcome to the club...
Oh! And to answer your question: You have to use the Asus Unlock tool, you can use it in JB, no reason to revert to ICS.
If you successfully rooted you won't find the process to unlock, install a custom recovery and flash a custom rom too challenging.
Loosing the warranty sucks, yes. But only a custom rom will unlock the full potential of this tablet.

Thanks very much for the suggestions. I've definitely read the all-in-one thread ad noseum (which is how I figured out how to root my device). The thing that I was not able to find an answer to anywhere was whether the Asus unlock tool would work on JB. In fact, all the notices I came across indicated that it would only work with ICS. This is why I was confused as to how people on JB could still unlock their TF700 without reverting to ICS.
So you're saying that, while rooted and on JB (10.4.4.25), the standard Asus TF700 unlock tool will work? Is this generally accepted?
Also, thanks for the suggestion to check out the CleanRom Inheritance Help thread - this will probably be my next in the education process.
Thanks again... really appreciate it!

Yes, the ASUS provided unlock tool from their own very website will work!
I myself just used in on Saturday. I just rooted my Infinity last week with a great success using the CROMI and I love it!
Follow those instructions to the letter. However, I did find that the same software that is used in the youtube video was a bit easier to understand and navigate through. I'm a visual person, so I was doing it step by step with the video. I didn't want to brick a 2 month old device.
Good luck!

Okay. Interesting that Asus have not updated their instructions to indicate that the unlock tool also works for JB - the instructions on the Asus website clearly state that it only work on ICS.
Splitz: Sorry to belabour the subject, but did you unlock your TF700T while it had JB installed on it?
Has Asus just not updated their instructions?
Thanks!

Yes, I unlocked it using the Asus tool with JB installed.
I saw a post around here somewhere (In the DEV thread) that confirmed the tool works with both ICS bootloader as well as JB which is why I risked it.
I'm going to assume that ASUS just won't officially say it will unlock the JB bootloader.

Actually, it has been mentioned quite a few times that the unlock tool works on JB as well.

Ya, I've now come across some of these other mentions through searching for info on tangential topics. Sorry if I asked a redundant question here - I did try my best to answer it myself before doing so, however.
Thanks for everyone's help.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I was wondering if this will work on JB 4.1.1 with Build Number 10.4.4.18?

Hey, no problem. Better to ask redundant questions than to brick your device. Geen zorgen. (<< Dutch, translates as "no worries")

Yes. The unlock tool is actually the same for the Tf101, TF201 and TF700 and has never been changed as far as I know. So, go ahead and unlock.

So can I unlock...and then root easily under JB?
So, I was intending to root my precious TF700, exactly when the warranty expires...As for it, I was keping my TF700 on ICS, but two days before the warranty expiration, my cat upgraded my device to JB...(seriously, my cat did that...She slept over the dock and go fgure how, authorized the upgrade...)
Now...well I don't mind JB, I'm actually liking it a lot, but I still want to root (to install Titanium Backup). I just don't want to downgrade...
If I use the Asus Unlock Tool (as said that works under JB) and then use the method listed in the All-In-One Guide (that links for this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929712), it will work and we will be ok, me & TF700?
