Hi
I made a very stupid mistake
I used the tool to root my xoom wifi model
I used the tool in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011196
I tried to post this issue in the thread but I did not have the permissions.
by mistake I used the root of the 3G model
I followed the steps and everything was ok
I tried the unroot and here is the deadly (hopefully not) mistake
the xoom stops and first screen and refuses to boot
Did I brick my device??
Is there a way to resolve this problem??
Thanks
Yes, you have bricked it. Fastboot won't work at this point, so your only option is probably to return it.

When I press Volume up or down (fanrkly I could not get into that menu again) I get a list
it includes the following:

Can you see the xoom in /fastboot devices? See if you can access you xoom from the computer. I actually did the same thing and got mine in working order.

Try doing this real quick, the best that can happen is that you can turn this around. You may NOT in fact be bricked. I made the mistake of doing this also, but I figured it is just like when I was using the Danger SPL on the G1 and I had to at least find a way.
So, do this real quick if you know how.
1. Power on and press Vol - at the same time
2. Open a command prompt to your ADB file and type in fastboot oem unlock
3. If this lets you in (it may not) go through the regular procedure of pressing Vol -+-+
4. It will format and you should know if it is in fact bricked or not because it won't boot up.
5. ******
6. Profit???
Let us know how it goes.

you should try flashing the boot.img used to root i believe its tiamat 1.1.6 and the system.img for wifi. i have the stock system.img if you need it. hopefully that would git ya to boot atleast. MAKE SURE THAT IT IS WIFI ONLY.
Go here and follow the second post I posted. This will help you do this without downloading the files because they are already there.
Give it a shot at least

Yes, it has all been fixed. There still seems to be an issue with SU rights until you download BusyBox and no clue why.
I have been testing the WiFi one constantly and have not had any major hickups.

I flashed Tiamat 1.1.6 boot.img
the problem is that when using this command:

I get

Told ya haha, save those files on your computer for next time. I keep them in close reach just incase something happens. if you have any other problems give me a holla. glad everything is working again.
I think I'm more screwed than OP because I was already unlocked and rooted. Then locked my wifi xoom with the 3g one click tool. Yes I know that was very stupid but I was wondering what are my options?
Take it back to Amazon?
Use the following method in this thread?
Wait for SBF?

It relocked? Yikes... I don't trust those 1-click things. I need to know what's going on step by step. My first Xoom got bricked when I thought I had untainted OEM image files and relocked it. There's really no reason to relock a Wifi Xoom right now.
Anyway, if it relocked, you might have been in the same boat I was where the computer wouldn't recognize the Xoom in Fastboot mode or RSD mode. And I went and got it exchanged at that point.
Oh, if RSD Lite can't see your Xoom in RSD mode, you might be out of luck. SBF won't help if RSD Lite can't see your Xoom. BUT, if it does see it, it sounds like you can flash the 3G/4G SBF from Motorola/Verizon and to get sorta running, then use Fastboot to overwrite the boot and system partitions.
So basically
Unlock
Reboot
Install Goo Manger
Install Open Script
Reboot into recovery
Install ROM/Gapps
{PROFIT}!?
I'm running Official Jelly Bean, and I am rooted.
Let me know if that is the right process
Thanks!

If you like Asus' Jelly Bean, but would like it a bit faster, I'd go with CleanRom Inheritance.

I can't decide if i want to do this with my brand new infinity Knowing my luck as soon as i do it I'd need warranty work. I assume this fixes the pausing while browsing and stuff like keyboard lag? After you unlock it doesnt really matter what OTA updates come out does it?

I wouldn't expect wonders but I'm using CM10 and it's definitely an improvement.
I just rooted and unlocked my tablet last night. Doing some reading atm and it looks like my next step would be to install CWM/ROM Manager and then go to town with the ROMs. My question though is what can I do without a Windows desktop/laptop? I'm currently deployed and forgot to bring my laptop charger. I had enough battery left to root my tablet and thats about it. Then I unlocked it with only the tablet. Do I need to use a computer for most ROMs? Or can I download them directly to the tablet and then install them? I've also got a Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0(stock/not rooted)...can that be used for anything that might require a desktop/laptop?
Is Goo Manager better than ROM Manager?
Do not use rom manager. You will brick your device!
lol thats good to know. Goo Manager it is then it looks like.

You can use Goo but have to be rooted to do so.
Other way is fastboot. You'll need to be able to use a cmd prompt and have the adroid sdk installed.
Download the TWRP 2.3.1.0 version from the goo website (rename to twrp.blob) and use the following commands to to flash it whilst the tablet is in fastboot mode:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

Thanks. I'll go with Goo Manager and TWRP. For my other question though is rooting one of the only things that requires to be plugged into a Windows PC? Atm I only plan to install a rom and probably the Data2SD mod when my microSD card comes in the mail. I don't have access to a PC since my laptop battery is dead and no charger.

I was able to root last night on my laptop. Problem is my laptop battery is now dead and my charger is 7000 miles away lol. I was just curious if there is anything else that needs to be plugged in to do. All I have right now is the TF700 and my Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0. I'm thinking one of my limitations will be formatting my microSD card if I need it to be a certain file system.

If it's still at the pretty much factory default for most manufacturers (i.e., FAT32), you'll be fine. How are you going to get the custom ROM file on that card?

A couple of questions to add since I am in a similar situation with a new, locked tf700. I've read as much as I could about everything but I just want to be very certain of the order of things I have to do.
I'm on ICS (.26).
1. unlock
2. nvflash
3. update to jb (should i do .20 or .23?)
4. flash twrp
5. flash cleanrom
Is that all?
Or should I root in ICS and use OTA rootkeeper and use goomanager at JB?
Thanks for the help!
I'm more confused than ever on trying to find the *correct* guide to root my TF300T. The development forum has mislabeled threads, and most guides I found were guiding the root process for a device with a 9.x.x.x firmware. So, that said, can anyone point me to the CORRECT guide so I can root my TF running 10.4.2.17 please? Thanks.
Ramrod421 said:
So first off I totally understand the apprehension. I have rooted a lot thingd and this tablet seems especially technical and convoluted.
First read through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697227
1) In that thread download the "unlock bootloader" app, run it and unlock the bootloader. Your device warranty will now be void and it will say "device unlocked" in the top left corner every time you boot it up.
2) Now go to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845377, scroll down to Part 3 and download the "fastboot + JB recovery" files. Extract them into the Fastboot folder that they are zipped in. There will be two .dll files, an ADB file, a Fastboot file and a twrp.blob file.
3) Turn off your tablet. Once it's off press the power and vol/dwn buttons at the same time. Keep holding them down until you see the screen with "RCK", "android", a usb symbol, and "wipe data". Once in that screen let go and use the Vol/dwn to move the cursor and vol/up to select the USB icon. Plug your tablet into your computer and the computer should recognize it as a "fastboot" device. You can check under "devices and printers".
4) Enter the "Fastboot" folder and while holding down shift, right click the mouse. In the menu you should have the option "open command window here". Select that and it will open a cmd window. Type in the line:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob
This will copy the TWRP recovery file to the tablet and flash it. You will see a blue progress bar on your tablet while this is happening. Once that is done type:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot
This will reboot your tablet and you will now have TWRP recovery installed.
5)Once in android again, go to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668173, and download the "root-signed.zip" file in the second post and copy it to the tablet.
6)Turn off the tablet and boot into recovery by holding power and vol/dwn again. Once at the menu select "RCK" with Vol/up. It will boot into TWRP recovery now. Install the "root-signed.zip" file, reboot and the tablet should be rooted.
At this point I recommend creating a backup in recovery in case anything goes wrong from here on out.
Now you can flash any ROM your heart desires. I recommend CleanROM 2.7. It's fast, clean and very easy to install.
TWRP is easily the best recovery for this tablet. I have had many problems with CWM not installing ROM's properly and causing boot issues.
I hope this help you out. I know it's kind of a mine field of information but it works very nicely.

This is a relatively big deal: while you could root stock ICS ROMs pretty easily, you can't do it on stock JB ROMs without unlocking the bootloader, Once you're unlocked, however, it's a piece of cake.
For the amateurs. Could you elaborate on these steps?
Step (1) (a) which file to download? the .apk for the .exe file?
(b) Download to where (the tablet or onto a laptop/desktop)?
Step (2): (a) Again, download to where? Tablet or laptop/desktop? And extract to where?
Step (3) & (4): This make it sounds like the files in previous steps should be downloaded and extracted to a laptop/desktop?
Step (5) & (6): CleanRom 2.7 is already rooted. Do we need to run these steps? Or can we install CleanRom after Step 4?
Backup: What files to back up? Everything?
Critical Questions:
Do the above steps work for tablets already on Android version 4.1.1 with .29 (or .17) builds?
Sidenote: Last night, my tablets had an ASUS update and it went from build .29 to .17. Is this strange? It's going backward?
I have followed these instructions exactly, but titanium and adaway both cannot aquire root privileges. and reason why?

Have you confirmed that you are truly rooted or are these apps the only ones that can't access the root directory?

I read the reply's to your Q, but as I have the same build as you I still haven't found one that anyone claims has worked.
You have any success?
Root TF300T
Thank you so very much for that very helpful post. Much appreciated.
After reading your instructions, I'm happy to proceed but may I ask one question first.
I've unlocked my TF300 with the ASUS application.
My build number is 10.4.2.18-20121122. It's a UK model.
Am I safe to use your instructions with this build?
Kind regards
I never obtained root, and since my OP, I've gotten an OTA as well, so it's back to square one in finding a viable root method.

I'm in the same boat. Got a 300 for Christmas, bumped up to JB w/o reading here first (yeah...that was dumb). So from looking around the only way to root is to unlock and the only way to unlock right now is via the ASUS tool which - from what I've gathered - will send my serial number to ASUS and void my warranty correct?
A few questions:
1.) does anyone know if work is being done to be able to unlock/relock w/o voiding the warranty? I love root, but I won't do it while in warranty in case something unthinkable happens . I'm not sure how much of this would be true, but can't we use nvflash to download the locked bootloader then find a way to spoof the ASUS unlock authorization? Hell, unless each tablet uses a different signature couldn't we just post the nvflash-able locked/unlocked bootloaders? I'm thinking back to the flash processes from my Tegra2 gTablet. I could be way off base, but it seems plausible with my limited knowledge.
2.) is it possible to root w/o unlocking? I know I won't get CWM/TWRP and the ability to load non-stock ROMs but I can live with that. I'd like to be able to run TiB, ES File - Root, etc though. I thought I saw something about obtaining root w/o unlock, but I can't find it and it might have been ICS instructions.
3.) I take it there's no downgrading back to ICS that would fix this either....

Hi!
You can try to unlock your device with AsusUnlock app ! - is the safe way to unlock bootloader ! ( certainly will void your warranty ! )
I don't think that's cause for concern ...I've unlocked bootloader in the very next day after I bought it ( in august this year )
- so far I think I made five hundred " flash and reflash rom " - ( for testing "custom roms" ) - and the device shows like the first day when I bought it
So, be more confident - the device is not so easily to break , you can install as many "custom roms" as you want - you just have to be very careful about the steps that you make - when you try to install a custom rom !
Good luck ! :good:
regards,
Surdu Petru
Not worried so much about flashing causing issues. I've flashed my gTab more times than I can count. More worried about pre-voiding the warranty should I have any hardware issues. Like my battery life seems to be horrible and it might need sent in for that.

GO TO SETTING, UNDER SYSTEM CLICK ON "DEVELOPER OPTIONS" AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CHECKED THE "USB DEBUGGING"
IF YOU DONT HAVE A"DEVELOPER OPTIONS" CLICK ON "ABOUT TABLET" AND WHERE IT SAYS "BUILD NUMBER" CLICK ON IT UNTIL IT SAYS " CONGRATULATIONS NOW YOU ARE A DEVELOPER" IT SHOULD BE AROUND 5-10 TIMES, AFTER THAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THE "DEVELOPER OPTIONS ON THE LEFT" RIGHT ABOVE "ABOUT TABLET" (THEN ENABLE USB DEBUGGING"
NEXT, UNDER "PERSONAL" CLICK THE TAB THAT SAYS "SECURITY" AND ENABLE "UNKNOWN SOURCES"
ONCE DONE WITH THIS, CONNECT YOUR TABLET TO YOUR LAPTOP/PC
DOWNLOAD MOTOCHOPPER FROM THE LINK PROVIED
EXTRACT IT AND RUN THE FILE THAT SAYS "RUN"
ONCE YOU RUN IT JUST FOLLOW THE SIMPLE STEPS ON THE SCREEN
IF ALL GOES WELL, YOUR DEVICE SHOULD BE ROOTED AND YOU SHOULD HAVE SUPERSU INSTALLED
EDIT!: IF YOU UPGRADED OR YOUR TABLET CAME WITH BUILD NUMBER 10.6.1.14.10, MOTOCHOPPER WONT WORK TO ROOT. YOU WILL NEED TO DOWNGRADE TO 10.6.1.14.08 AND THEN ROOT WILL BE AVAILABLE

Unlock tool confirmed working on JB 4.2.1 - just unlocked the bootloader on my totally stock TF700T JB 4.2.1 (WW). Now to flash CROMI-X! :victory:
Stupid easy (locked-root)
Enable USB debugging.
Plug in TF700T.
Windows 7 loaded all of the drivers.
D/L the file.
Extract.
Double click run.bat.
Answer a couple of questions.
Root in under a minute.
:laugh::victory:
Thanks for the motochopper link. Worked perfect on my 4.2.1 tf700, could not have been easier.
Runs a whole lot better with all the bloat frozen and memory cache tweaks.
Thanks you for this. Noon here and will try your tutorial soon
Wont Root

when you're running motochopper, you get that message?
if so, make sure you have "usb debugging" enabled under setting>developer options.
also, try reinstalling the drivers for the tf700
connect it via usb, before running motochopper, on the folder of motochopper there is
a file that says "adb" run that before running the "run" file.
usually that message is for a bad driver or because adb isnt reading your tablet.
hope that helps keep me updated.

Hey thanks for the reply, but still nothing! :*(
I have done everything but install new drivers. (My drivers are working properly)
But is there a chance there are 4.2 drivers? Which might be the problem? Not sure..

Hmm...I would suggest deleting the drivers, and downloading the drivers from the Asus website. And then make sure your ADB can find your tablet. Run the adb file first and then the run file. You should have no problem. Try cold booting your device as well and make make sure you have usb debugging checked.
If this fails, the most probable solution would be going to another thread and downloading the debugfs tool for tf700. I'm not at my computer now so I can't give you the direct link. But if you search for it you'll find it. I did a while back.
Keep me updated.
That is the quickest and easiest root I've ever done on a device! Thanks for keeping it simple :good::good:
HI -
I followed the instructions on this thread and was ulocked/rooted in less than five minutes - installed TWRP - made a nandroid backup - then did something I am afraid was incredibly stupid. I was going to do a wipe per instructions before installing a ROM and I selected "Advanced" and wiped everything instead of just doing a factory wipe.
Now when powered on it is stuck at the ASUS initial screen.
Hoping this can be fixed - can anyone help me out.
Thanks!

If you had a rom downloaded, you wiped it
Download the rom you want to flash to a microSD, insert it into your tablet, reboot into TWRP, select the microSD and install the zip.
Make sure you have a compatible recovery and rom combination.
What's your recovery version and what rom do you want to flash?

Thanks for this. Initially, I was stuck on adb not finding the device - I killed the batch file and then ran
Code:
adb devices
and sure enough, nothing there.
I had to manually uninstall the drivers and then let Windows find them again - this time there was an unknown device, and then Windows found the MTP device and loaded it.
Then it took all of 27 seconds from start to finish lol.
Thanks again - Now I owe Djrbliss yet another contribution....

hey, sorry i took so long to reply, but like bern said, you're in no trouble. just do what he said and you should be fine.
just download the ROM you want or the stock rom of asus (which i wouldnt install. try cromix or parandroid or black bean theyre very good.)
put it on an sd card and boot to recovery. then the twrp should pop up, and install the rom.
if you need help on choosing the options let me know when you'll do it and ill be glad to guide you.
Thanks Everyone!

Hi,
is ist possible to root the new android asus memo pad 10 fhd with intel z2560 soc (x86) and android 4.2.2?
There are no recovery images avaliable yet.Even source code.
But id like to get root for it.
Does somone know how ?
So please report it!
There are so many german people how like to root it.
Please help
Big thanks
Bye
I searched for several hours and tried numerous different rootkits, but none of them worked.
There seems to be someone providing a method for Memo Pad 7 HD, but I didn't want to try it out of fear that it would semi-brick my device (particularly the bootloader).
I love the device though. Only problem is that the screen is too reflective.
My friend,
have a look at my post inside german forum!
I rooted the memo pad successfully
http://www.android-hilfe.de/asus-me...5825-howto-root-fuer-das-memo-pad-10-fhd.html
In some days i will translate it to english
Nice flash.
Hi there. I'd like to ask how is the translation going? I tried to read the whole procedure in German with Google translator, and couldn't get anything clear enough to try to do it...
Oh, and no pressure meant!
Thank you very much in advance!!
1.Download the two links in the post (system.img.gz and superuser.apk)
Put system.img.gz and superuser.apk in the same folder as adb.exe.
2. Put the tablet into bootloader mode (Power+Vol Up)
3. Run these commands in command prompt with administrator priviledges:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system system.img.gz
5. Reboot and again run in command prompt
adb install Superuser.apk

Hi, my friend
Anyone can provide more detail of the root process?
Many thanks!!!!!
Thank you very much, Matt, for the info. I think I'd better wait a little bit longer to gain root access, not really needing root right now..
Alright, I have to confess I am not sure I could get it rooted with that method, still a newbie! xD. I will wait for a easier one-click root.
Thank you very much though!

I just rooted using the commands above, only difference is i used the latest system_4_6_2_root.img file since i've upgraded my pad to 4.6.2.
Im root again!! Thanks guys
O. T. Theoretically this device can even run windows 8, can't it?
Back in thread. I think it's even easier than what described above:
1) Make sure that your device is updated with the last firmware 4.6.2, check the OTA updates on your tablet.
2) If you don't have it already installed, download and install fastboot here.
3) Download and install Intel USB drivers from here.
4) Download the rooted system image from here and move in the directory where you have fastboot installed (see point 2).
5) Reboot you tablet in download mode by pressing Power + vol up.
6) Launch a command window and type fastboot flash system system_4_6_2_root.img.gz
Voila, your device is rooted, you just need to download from the market the SuperSU app.
I didn't lose any setting / application.
All the information is taken from the german forum. Thanks to them.

yes it should be possible, do you maybe know where to get windows 8 with touch support for tablets?
And how come we dont have a forum for our tab on xda developers?

I don't know if it is that easy. I think the bootloader should somehow support the Windows boot, even if we had the Windows 8 installation media.
These just came out in the US and mine should be here tomorrow. Excited to get her rooted! Hope we get a thread/some development!
Got my memo pad fhd 10! I personally think it's pretty amazing. Stock launcher is lacking but with nova is a LOT better. Still need to root as I would like to freeze some of the junk. It's very snappy and the screen looks great. Extremely happy with the purchase but would love to see some devs jump on it.
Also, just did some browser hopping. Boat browser is complete butter on this. Glassy smooth and quick, much better than chrome.

Unfortunately the link you mention to get system[dot]img[dot]gz is not valid anymore.
can you tell me where I can find it, or if any system[dot]img[dot]gz file can fit for asus fhd 10, android version 4.2.2?

OTA Updater misery
Hello Linus Plus
I run Android 4.2.2
I am trying to follow your process. Phases 2,3,4,5 are ok
but the first is not:
when I go to OTA update I get:
"Unsupported ROM
The ROM developer has not enabled support for the OTA
updater. ..."
What should I do?
Thanks for your help

Hi,
i will create a new one.
Because 4.7 is just release
bye
If I use Pro SuperSu I update without losing root?
My mistake, it works
I finally understood that 4.6.2 refers to the build number and not to the Android version.
Therefore I could go through all of the process and the device is rooted now.
thanks a lot, your process is very easy

I was foolish enough to upgrade from rooted 4.6.2 to 4.7.0 and i keep getting crashes.. the worst crash is the keyboards.. none of them work.. cant do anything with my memopad at all.. anyone know if it's possible to re-flash the cracked 4.6.2 image?? On asus site they say that the firmware u download from there cant be used to downgrade... really hope thats wrong since the latest firmware on their site is 4.6.2 and i've got 4.7.0 which i got through OTA
