ASUS Transformer Root ToolKit V7.1 Universal (Windows) | 2011-09-22

New tool for rooting all eee Pad versions. Get it here: Asus Transformer Root ToolKit V8.0
Universal root toolkit v7.1
Hi all. Universal root toolkit v7.1 is now available. This is a upgraded version of my old v6 script. It is now universal and it creates the modified boot image and the CWM Recovery image with your own stock images. This is like the Universal script from Rebound821 but ported to Windows and with a GUI (graphic user interface) and some more tools. After several beta versions, at last the v7.1 final version is available.

This method still doesn't work for B70 revision Pads
Note: some users have reported that with this script they have successfully root their pad. It seems that some B70 rev. pads don't have the new bootloader
What you can do with this tool:
- Root your pad in a simple way
- Backup boot, stock (and system)
- Restore backup
- Flash custom rom (in NVflash flavor)
Screen shots:
What you need:
- Asus Transformer Eee Pad with Asus USB cable
- Asus sync and drivers installed in windows
- Know how to get to APX mode
- Know how to turn USB Development on (in android)
- Install built-in nvidia drivers
- Read the instructions
- Know what you are doing.
- dot.net framework 4.0 (download from microsoft)
NOTE: I still need your help to get this program better. I tested the program myself with my pad and it worked fine., but if it doesn't work for you don't just say it doesn't work! Please make a print screen of the error, and send it to me, with a description of what happened and pad version. Only this way I can check if there are still errors in the program.
Thanks.
After installing CWM with this tool, please go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213723 and update CWM recovery to last version available.

Hi all,
This started has a front-end for the "Pure Root" method original from Mashi, and has grown to something more than that. I've to say thanks for all the other members that have help me with this, because this has become a community script, I'm only one part of the gear that "makes the world turn". Thanks to you all.
Why "unsecure"? Because this method changes a security flag in the boot image that allows to push superuser binary, superuser.apk and busybox through ADB. I call it "unsecure" instead of "insecure" because this method doesn't turn you pad to a insecure pad, only opens a window to make superuser available.
For history purposes:
I've created a batch script, using mashi "Pure Root" original scripts and implemented some others, that makes rooting transformer more user friendly.
I added some other functionalities, like backing up current (or stock) boot and recovery, and also scripts for install busybox, install stock boot or(unroot) and stock recovery (you need this for install OTA updates).
Original 8.4.4.11 Root Boot images are mashi work, so thank him for is work. Thanks Gee One for HC3.2 US unsecure boot.img and for the explaining on how to unsecure images. Thanks rebound821 for your great script that makes it very simple. Thanks Rayman for the BlobTools and the BootTools.
Disclaimer:
As is usual, use this at your own risk. You can open the script to see what it does (there are no tricks here). If you find a bug please report it.
If your pc OS is Linux you can root with this script: Universal root for stock firmware. It makes everything very very very simple
Please read FAQ before trying to root your pad. Please read the menu from top to bottom before trying to do anything. This script has worked for many people, if it doesn't work for you it's because you have made an error in the process. Read FAQ again and start from beginning.
Unzip the file and double click "Brk.RootKit.bat" file and follow the menus.
Read About/FAQ option in menu for instructions.
Notice that you still have to install APX driver (driver folder included) and ADB need to be able to communicate with your pad.
To install APX driver:
1- turn off your pad
2- Connect pad to computer (windows)
3- Press Volume UP + Power Button at same time
4- Windows should pop a sound like it found a new hardware
4.1. Pad screen will stay off/black
4.2. Find the icon of "searching for driver" in windows
4.3. Click in the option to make windows stop looking for driver.
5. In control panel open system>Hardware devices
5.1. Find a yellow icon with exclamation mark saying APX
5.2. right mouse click and choose Update driver
5.3. in wizard select to find yourself the driver
5.4. Point driver update to usbpcdriver in rootkit folder
5.5. let windows intall apx driver
6. Continue with batch script

OLD version
For HC3.1 and HC3.2 beta
V5 beta 6 update:
For people having rooted 8.4.4.11, it's easy to flash Roach's 8.6.5.6 US or 8.6.5.6 WW CWM zip update (I recommend this!).
If you have a rooted 8.4.4.11 with CWM Recovery pad and you insist on using this method to update your pad, to make OTA update install you only have to restore stock Recovery, you don't have to restore stock boot. After that you can install OTA upgrade and then you can root again with this method

How to root - Mini-fast-guide

Thank you for the script, it works with my ww Version.
But i have problems with de recovery. I can not boot into recovery. I have always a normal rebbot when i try to boot in recovery.
I have flash back to Stock Recovery. When i try to boot into recovery, it shows a green Android with a yellow exclamation mark in the middle.
What can i do?

Does this address the "issue" of people not being able to install clockwork? Also, is the us image included here already? (i know it wasnt when you posted it in the pure root thread)
I was close to attempting to root my TF (latest update 4.11) but read a lot of people having issues not being able to install clockwork
Thanks

My script try to install ClockworkMod 3.1.0.1-solarnz-R3 Recovery, several people said it was success.
If it doesn't work for you, please replace recovery.img from /images/recovery/ with this one: recovery.img
Please tell me if it works this way.

There was a bug in the script that was not flashing CWM. I think now is ok.
If it still doesn't work, please try the recovery.img from my last post.
Please give feedback. Thanks.

I was wondering if you can modify the same script to unroot? If you can do that, this script will be an "all-in-one" root and unroot script.... Similar to "one click root/unroot" for Samsung Captivate...

I think it does that, if you flash stock boot and stock recovery, I guess your pad will be unrooted and with stock recovery. You just have to uninstall superuser.apk

If I flash the stock boot and stock recovery, wouldn't it wipe your data? I am hoping the unroot script will not wipe the data... I think the "one click root/unroot" for Samsung Captivate doesn't wipe my data... It will be great if someone will create a similar script to do the same for Transformer...

It doesn't wipe data, it only writes back boot block (includes boot and kernel). Data isn't touched.

Nice work! being a droid noob this helps a lot!. The FAQ's are outdated

Um the 3rd script "install clockwork" just sits there..Nothing happens. NV flash Started and curser just blinks...Which ultimately sent my tablet into bootloop 'us pad'

That happened to me after I ran one command. The second command I run always pauses at NVflash started. I had to reboot back into APX mode to run another command

Download universal naked driver from easy flash thread.. unzip the drivers into a folder.. Go to device manager in your laptop and look for that unknown device and there double click on unknown device and select update/install driver.. point the installation to the unzipped folders and click update driver and this should install apx drivers and you should be good to go as that's what I did. Its very easy so take your time and do it...

Remove the apx drivers you already have and try installing them again by following these steps:
1- Boot up your transformer into apx mode.
2- Goto device manager and right click on the unrecognized device and goto update drivers.
3- Manually point them to the Folder you extracted have the universal naked drivers and install them. Scan for hardware changes
4- Hopefully your transformer will be recognized in the apx mode.
5- Download the EasyFlasher tool from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
6- open EasyFlasher and Choose your device SBK1 or SBK2
7- Flash a new recovery on the transformer with the tool and reboot it.
8- You will have the access to your external sd card where u have ur ROM stored.
These step did the trick on my transformer. Hopefully your problem will be solved.
Hit thanks if i have helped in any way!!

I can't thank konark500 enough. I had previously installed ClockworkMod Touch Recovery using the img file using the instructions on the Cyanogenmod Wiki. It worked, but every time I rebooted it would reboot back into flash and I would have to vol- at reboot to get it to boot to Android. Using EasyFlasher I was able to install TWRP and I am so glad I did. Everything is running better and I boot straight to Android when I need to. TWRP also has a way to wipe system. I was having strange issues with bluetooth and wifi others were not having until I wiped system and started over.
Thanks again konark500

Hi,
Sorry to resurrect a dead thread, but I am facing a similar issue. I installed a bad CWM recovery and since then I am not able to use my TF101. I tried to install the Naked drivers, but it does not work. I tried changing ports, but still the same issue. Please help. I am using Windows 8.1.

My guess - your TF101 cable is bad. I had a bad one but it still works with the wall wart to charge. One of the Data + or - cables is disconnected. Try a new cable is my best suggestion.

Currently you cannot install Gapps on 2.1.27 see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45866724&postcount=1647
I abandon this project a long time ago, as the NabiLab command line program was working with very few issues besides getting the drivers working. That program was entirely for the Nabi 2 product. As I worked on rooting the Nabi XD and compiling TWRP for it, I took a condensed version of NabiLab and made it into NabiRootXD program. I never owned the Nabi JR 4GB model(Tegra2) and never bothered creating an auto installer for it, or for TWRP for that matter. Recently I came on to the new Nabi JR 16GB(Tegra3) after rooting and creating TWRP for it I wondered if I should re-use the tried and true NabiLab. That's when I remembered my initial attempts at a VB .NET app for the Nabi2. It seemed like with 4 different Nabi projects out there it might be in at least my best interest to maintain them all in one program.
Overview
The goal was to provide a program for the current crop of Fuhu Nabi devices. It should have similar function to the stable working NabiLab commandline program but expand support to the other Nabi products. I also want the user to be able to see and or edit the commands being sent to the device without having to compile the windows app, so this program sets out to simply start the similar batch files that original NabiLab used. At this point all functionality of NabiLab isn't restored to this newer program, so in some respects NabiLab original is still a superior program. In the NabiLabGUI's corner it has the latest TWRP (2.6.0.0 as of this writing), and some common adb/fastboot commands at your finger tips. At this point we can call this ALPHA testing. Despite the NabiLab commandline roots here it is bound to have some bugs. I will put it here, and down below: using the unlock bootloader feature in NabiJR 16GB will wipe your data
You Tube video description :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h7ZiWp2B7Q
-Devices

Display devices stats
Prerequisites
.NET framework 3.5 (Sorry)
The program has to be initially installed in Internet Explorer(double sorry)
ADB/Fastboot drivers installed. PDAnet drivers have had the most sucess. Use the tools menu on the right side to check and see if you can control Nabi with ADB and Fastboot before starting the scripts.
Device updated to it's latest firmware. While older firmware may work it is best to be on the latest.
Download
NabiLabGUI installer You have to launch this link in Internet Explorer, there is an extension for google chrome called ClickOnce but I have had little luck getting it to work. Here is the copy and paste link if you are currently in a different browser.
Code:
http://home.comcast.net/~aicjofs/NabiLabGUI/publish.htm
Since I am just hosting this on Comcast, they don't serve the proper MIME types, you may have to toggle the "compatibility mode" button in IE. If the bar is blue on the web page it likely wont work, if it's orange it will. If you are seeing xml after clicking install you need to toggle compatibility. See the video for an example.
Usage
Main Menu​
Have device on, and powered up to TWRP or Android. Launch program from start menu.
The program has tool tip enabled which you can hover the mouse over to get general information. In this screen you can issue the ADB/Fastboot commands by selecting the radio button and pressing button. The CMD prompt button will open a command window where you can issue commands within the $PATH, fastboot, and adb. On the left side you select the device you have plugged in to issue device specific auto scripts.
Deivce Menu​
Root, Recovery, Gapps, Backup - This option is best used if you have a brand new Nabi. A new window will open. Follow directions, start by pressing the etner key, and don't hit enter button rapidly, be patient. Most sticking points are pressing the volume keys on the device, in the correct order and quickly enough. After its complete you should have TWRP recovery installed, a rooted Nabi, with Gapps and a backup of your unmodified Nabi in the folder TWRP/BACKUPS/YOURSERIAL/stockunrooted on your device. Not a bad idea to copy this off the Nabi to your computer if you need to free space or have it in a second location.
Gapps only - Installs Gapps only. You must first have TWRP installed.
Root only - Installs root/superuser. You must have TWRP installed.
Install TWRP x.x.x.x - Install TWRP and nothing else
Install stock recovery - Install stock for OTA, or selling, etc
Bootloader unlock(only on NabiJR 16GB) - UNLOCKING WILL DESTROY YOUR DATA. IT WILL WIPE IT CLEAN. WARNING!! WARNING Now that is out of the way....Before you do anything on the NabiJR 16GB you will have to unlock the bootloader. During the script you will need to OK the unlock on the Nabi itself. You have to be quick, the timeout is 3 to 5 seconds maybe. You will get a prompt when its unlocked. Did I mention...IT WIPES YOUR DATA!

You need to have the blinking cursor in the small white bar at bottom. The window opens this way but if you leave focus and comeback you can have the cursor in the upper grey area, and press any key won't work

Nabi JR 4GB TWRP
Nabi XD TWRP
Nabi 2 TWRP
NabiLab commandline version
Main Nabi2 thread

NABI LAB GUI​
I abandon this project a long time ago, as the NabiLab command line program was working with very few issues besides getting the drivers working. That program was entirely for the Nabi 2 product. As I worked on rooting the Nabi XD and compiling TWRP for it, I took a condensed version of NabiLab and made it into NabiRootXD program. I never owned the Nabi JR 4GB model(Tegra2) and never bothered creating an auto installer for it, or for TWRP for that matter. Recently I came on to the new Nabi JR 16GB(Tegra3) after rooting and creating TWRP for it I wondered if I should re-use the tried and true NabiLab. That's when I remembered my initial attempts at a VB .NET app for the Nabi2. It seemed like with 4 different Nabi projects out there it might be in at least my best interest to maintain them all in one program.
Overview
The goal was to provide a program for the current crop of Fuhu Nabi devices. It should have similar function to the stable working NabiLab commandline program but expand support to the other Nabi products. I also want the user to be able to see and or edit the commands being sent to the device without having to compile the windows app, so this program sets out to simply start the similar batch files that original NabiLab used. At this point all functionality of NabiLab isn't restored to this newer program, so in some respects NabiLab original is still a superior program. In the NabiLabGUI's corner it has the latest TWRP (2.6.0.0 as of this writing), and some common adb/fastboot commands at your finger tips. At this point we can call this ALPHA testing. Despite the NabiLab commandline roots here it is bound to have some bugs. I will put it here, and down below: using the unlock bootloader feature in NabiJR 16GB will wipe your data
-Devices
Nabi 2 (NV-7A)
Nabi JR 4GB (NV-5A)
Nabi XD (NV-10A)
Nabi JR 16GB (NV-5B)
-Functions
Install TWRP 2.6.0.0
Install stock recovery
Install root
Install Gapps(Google Play, Play Store, etc)
Perform initial backup of device
For NabiJR 16GB: unlock/lock the bootloader
Send simple/common ADB and fastboot commands
Auto updating via Microsoft ClickOnce
Installation in the start menu as NabiLab
Removal via control panel
-What it doesn't do that NabiLab original did...yet
Auto restore a device back to stock
Edit lockscreen image
Display devices stats
Prerequisites
.NET framework 3.5 (Sorry)
The program has to be initially installed in Internet Explorer(double sorry)
ADB/Fastboot drivers installed
Device updated to it's latest firmware. While older firmware may work it is best to be on the latest.
Download
NabiLabGUI installer You have to launch this link in Internet Explorer, there is an extension for google chrome called ClickOnce but I have had little luck getting it to work.
Usage
Main Menu​
Have device on, and powered up to TWRP or Android. Launch program from start menu.
The program has tool tip enabled which you can hover the mouse over to get general information. In this screen you can issue the ADB/Fastboot commands by selecting the radio button and pressing button. The CMD prompt button will open a command window where you can issue commands within the $PATH, fastboot, and adb. On the left side you select the device you have plugged in to issue device specific auto scripts.
Deivce Menu​
Root, Recovery, Gapps, Backup - This option is best used if you have a brand new Nabi. A new window will open. Follow directions, start by pressing the etner key, and don't hit enter button rapidly, be patient. Most sticking points are pressing the volume keys on the device, in the correct order and quickly enough. After its complete you should have TWRP recovery installed, a rooted Nabi, with Gapps and a backup of your unmodified Nabi in the folder TWRP/BACKUPS/YOURSERIAL/stockunrooted on your device. Not a bad idea to copy this off the Nabi to your computer if you need to free space or have it in a second location.
Gapps only - Installs Gapps only. You must first have TWRP installed.

I have not tried it, but in theory you could use motochooper root method. Then manually transfer su, superuser.apk, set permissions, then install gapps manually. No need to unlock bootloader, of course without doing it you have no recovery to fall back upon.

Just used this on both my Nabi Jr 4GB and Nabi2, worked wonderfully! A couple bugs that cause software crash, but nothing that restarting it back up didn't hurt. I think the scripting for the all-at-once Recovery/Backup/Root/GApps needs some work, as they both got hung up for me on each one...so I just did each step individually.
Also, I downloaded it using Chrome and installed it from that way as well, and it worked just fine...and I didn't have to use any extension
Thank you very much!!!

I'm looking to do my nephews nabo but I don't know what nabi it is. The model number on the back is Nabi-A. If anyone could enlighten me that would be great. I just don't want the kid mode on there. He doesn't use it anymore so my mom is going to use the Nabi so I would like to get as close to a normal android tablet as possible (custom Rom, Google play store, etc) Thanks ahead of time for any help.

Nabi-A is the original Nabi, this program doesn't support it. I haven't followed much about that tablet. It is rootable, you could at least remove some of the kids programs. I doubt there is a custom ROM.

You just loose everything on internal SD(data/media), and all saved settings, games, etc. Everything you put on the device. After a reboot the device will put all your apps back from the backup on the addon partition. Basically it is a factory reset.

In your first post, its mentioned that gapps cannot be installed on 2.1.27 but I have product version 1 of Nabi Jr 16gb nick edition . Can I install gapps ? How do i check system memory?

[Q] usb to pc won't work

Hello, first i'm sorry that my english isn't really good thanks
i have an issue with my tf300t after i installed android 4.2, before the update i could use usb to transfer files to the pc but this isn't working anymore.
i think something went wrong with the update to 4.2 because sometimes when i put in the dock station it says 'uil not working' or something that sound like that. I deleted the android installation from my device so i can not re install the android.
I know you have to put it in the 'root' map and this worked when in connected to my pc and now since that won't work i can t get the file there i tried to download the file from asus website to my tablet and i was stored to the download map and i can't move the zip file to the root map it gave a message "refused permission" I also have tried a couple of time to reset the system and this does also not work. I have tried to put the file there over wifi (wifi file transfer) but also here i cant add maps or files in the right map. I'm a little familiar with android but not if it comes to issues like this .. i really hope there is some one that can help me out . i can't send the device back to store or factory i'm out of ideas.
thank you for taking the time to help me out! i really appreciate it.

Oh no, sorry. I'm only knowledgeable with unlocked devices, as I unlocked mine a day after I got it.
The problem is you don't have permission to copy to that folder. You could download the update on your tablet itself from the tablet browser and find a guide to downgrade or reinstall.

I've searching the web for more then 17 hours non stop and i can't find any solution that is working for me. I think the OS is just damaged and can't be fixed (bricked).

The reason you have a dead droid is because you dont have a recovery installed. Try this:
1) Download the latest firmware from Asus website
2) Extract the .zip file somewere on your desktop (the result will be another .zip file,use it for step 3)
3) Rename the extracted archive to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.ZIP" (without the " ") and upload it to a MicroSD card
4) Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use this button combination to Power ON and go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume Down and POWER togheter for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume UP before the 5 seconds expire.
At this point the device will go in recovery and should start updating your firmware .
Note: Keep in mind that Windows doesn't show the known file extensions so most users don't have to put the .ZIP extension in the filename.

You shouldn't have to connect the tablet to the computer for this, and it should work on a locked bootloader. Just make sure you have the correct Asus firmware downloaded.

[Q] Noob needs help installing KatKiss ROM

Hi there!
I am a super noob in installing custom ROMs and desperately need some help!
I have an Asus Transformer tf101 (duh), I don't have the keyboard dock. I want to install the KKKK ROM, but I have no idea how to. I know I have to wipe, boot rom, flash kernel and reboot, but I really have no idea how to. I do not have an SD card (and I don't think my tablet can take one), but there is a folder on the tablet somewhere called sdcard. So... Can you help me? I have searched through the forums but I am not sure if descriptions for other devices go for mine as well...
Concluding: I have the TF101 without the keyboard dock. It runs stock android (updated as far as I could, just checked it: Android 4.0.3). And I want to run KatKiss' KitKat ROM.
Can you help this noob installing a ROM (and not bricking the device?)? It would be very much appreciated!
Michelle

Plug the tablet into the PC > USB
Turn off your tablet
Put the Tablet into APX Mode (Volume Up & Power button)
You won't see anything on the tablet screen, but the PC should recognise it, that is the only indication that you have successfully entered APX Mode

Run EasyFlasher
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
Depending on your tablet serial number you will need either SBK1 or SBK2 selection in EasyFlasher - easiest way to know if if your tablet serial starts with B4O > B6O it's SBK1, anything above that and it's SBK2 (Some B7Os are SBK1 but not many)
You need to select TWRP Recovery from EasyFlasher and flash that first
Once you have successfully flashed TWRP, you can flash any ROM you like from TWRP Recovery by booting into recovery
(Volume Down & Power until white text appears at the top of the screen, then release buttons and press volume up once)
Your TF101 does take Micro SD cards, it's a small slot on the lower right side of the tablet edge
Because you are coming from stock I would at this point suggest wiping everything from TWRP, but as you are not using a Micro SDCard, Im not 100% sure where you could store the ROM before wiping, so...
Copy the ROM & Gapps to your SDCard folder on your TF101 before wiping anything / before booting into recovery
Now boot into recovery and wipe only SYSTEM, CACHE & DALVIK CACHE
Now go to the INSTALL menu and find your KatKiss ROM & Gapps
Flash ROM then Gapps
Now back to the WIPE menu and wipe only CACHE & DALVIK CACHE
Now reboot
You should be booting into Kat Kiss now
My advice: Buy a MicroSD Card to make things much easier and have a way to recover your tablet if you accidentally wipe everything including your Custom ROM zip while you're inside recovery

Thanks so much!^^ I do have some questions still though.. (so afraid I'll brick the thing)

Okay, so my serial number begins with BCO, so I need SBK2, right?

You need to select TWRP Recovery from EasyFlasher and flash that first
Once you have successfully flashed TWRP, you can flash any ROM you like from TWRP Recovery by booting into recovery
(Volume Down & Power until white text appears at the top of the screen, then release buttons and press volume up once)
Your TF101 does take Micro SD cards, it's a small slot on the lower right side of the tablet edge
Because you are coming from stock I would at this point suggest wiping everything from TWRP, but as you are not using a Micro SDCard, Im not 100% sure where you could store the ROM before wiping, so...
Copy the ROM & Gapps to your SDCard folder on your TF101 before wiping anything / before booting into recovery

Haha, that must have sounded so very dumb. I am so sorry. I use a cover for my tablet and there’s no opening for the SD in that cover, so never noticed it before, haha. Okay I have an Micro SDCard for it. So what exactly should I put on that SD? The KatKiss zips and the .zip.md5? Or the kernels? Or something else entirely? And what are/where can I find the Gapps? Are you talking about the ROM and Gapps already on the tablet or the new ones from KatKiss?
*Detection* said:
Now boot into recovery and wipe only SYSTEM, CACHE & DALVIK CACHE
Now go to the INSTALL menu and find your KatKiss ROM & Gapps
Flash ROM then Gapps
Now back to the WIPE menu and wipe only CACHE & DALVIK CACHE
Now reboot
You should be booting into Kat Kiss now

Okay, I think that will speak for itself when I arrive at that point.
Sorry for the million questions. Hope you can help me again! Thank you!!

Thanks so much!^^ I do have some questions still though.. (so afraid I'll brick the thing)
To install the APX drivers, I first wipe the drivers via device manager, and then install the new drivers via device manager? Which file should I click on? The zipped folder, the unzipped folder, or one of the files? (I use Windows 8.1, don't know if it matters).

When you have the TF connected to the PC USB and enter APX mode, it should show up in Device Manager as ! unknown device or something similar, extract the zip of the Universal drivers and update the ! entry in device manager manually by pointing it to the drivers you extracted earlier - it should install the correct driver for you

I do not need to follow the “instructions for unbricking/flashing ASUS stock firmware”, right?

No, just choose SBK2 and Flash TWRP recovery
Here is EasyFlasher with the latest version of TWRP recovery 2.3.2.3 included, it will save you having to update your TWRP later

Great, yes now you can copy the ROM & Gapps zip files to the Micro SD Card, and once you are inside of TWRP recovery you can now wipe SYSTEM, CACHE, DALVIK CACHE, DATA, INTERNAL STORAGE etc etc (Everything apart from External Storage which is your MicroSD Card) if you do not want to keep anything at all on the TF101 and just start a fresh with KatKiss

Hi,
I tried what you say and the ROM flashing failed with this error
Code:
-- Install /sdcard/KatKiss-4.4.2_2018.zip
Findind update package
Installing update
set_perm : some change failed
E:Error in /sdcard/KatKiss-4.4.2_2018.zip
(Status 7)
Could you tell me what this error means ?

Don't know where you got that ROM from, but it's not named the same as the actual ROM from the main page
This is the ROM you want
http://downloads.timduru.org/android/tf101/K.A.T/KatKiss/4.4/dev/KatKiss-4.4.2_018.zip
See how yours is called KatKiss-4.4.2_2018.zip
Actual ROM doesn't have that 2
KatKiss-4.4.2_018.zip

Another Guide for you
Hi
Frederuco also did quite a good guide HERE
It might help you too.

Okay, thanks. So I'm doing this, but can't seem to boot into TWRP... APX, EasyFlash all went great, but when I try to boot into TWRP (Vol Down+Power and when text comes vol up) it just boots into my tablet (you know, asus, android, but no TWRP).
Am I doing something wrong? Or should I press earlier or later on the vol up?

Detection: My bad that was a typo, i actually have downloaded the good version but it seems that the md5 is not correct.
I already wipe the system and havent a microSD card yet. So i can't change the file on the /sdcard. But i have a SD that the dock can read.And also 2 USB. But it is possible to use them in TWRP ? With a mount command or something ? Otherwise i will buy a microSD...
MichelleChristiana92: When the text come up, you have only 5s to press VOL_UP

You have 5 seconds from the time the white text appears to press Vol Up or it will just boot to the ROM

You could use ADB in TWRP and push the new ROM to the TF via ADB commands
Put ROM in same folder as adb command is being run from on the PC
So if ROM is on C:\ROM, make sure Command Prompt is like this:
C:\ROM> adb push nameofROM.zip /sdcard/
Hit Enter
That should copy the ROM to the TF internal sdcard

Thank you for help.
But actually adb does not found my device :/
Is there something to configure ?

Check Device manager and install these drivers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942
Or use Ubuntu, once you install the adb tools you should have no problems connecting to the TF using ADB - I use VMWare Ubuntu install for that

Hmm.. I press the vol up as fast as I can, but every time when I press it it goes to that second text screen with "OS will cold boot to stock linux, you have ten seconds to press vol up or vol down for..." or something like that.. I don't even think I have 5 seconds. When I press it it immediately goes to that second text screen, and then just boots.
Will try again tomorrow, if you know anything please let me know (but its probably just me though

Try using EasyFlasher to Root your TF, and then install this App, it will let you press it to reboot into recovery
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.transformer.recovery&hl=en
It sounds like the TWRP install didn't work though, but could be wrong
Also, if you manage to root it, you could flash TWRP using GooManager
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager&hl=en
GooManager > 3 dots menu button top right > "Install OpenRecoveryScript"
But you need to be rooted for either of those options to work

As you can see in the attachment below, i already have APX Driver installed.
But abd devices does not recognize my device when i boot my tablet in the APX mod.
When i boot in TWRP, the device appear as USB MTP device but adb still not find it...

Yea Windows & APX don't play nice together from my experience
Install Ubuntu somewhere and use that instead, I use VMWare, I guess VMPlayer will work too if it can see USB devices, and it's free
https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_player/6_0
Or boot your PC on a Live Ubuntu DVD / Flashdrive and do it from that

Thank you! I am on KitKat now!
I downloaded and installed EasyFlasher again, from a few diffrent sources, and one of them worked and I rebooted into TWRP! Everything went smooth after that and am on KitKat now!
Thanks so much!
Cheers,
Michelle

Great!
Remember to update your TWRP to 2.3.2.3 using Goo Manager from Google Play if it is an older version you managed to flash in the end
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...omanager&hl=en
Open GooManager > 3 dots menu button top right > "Install OpenRecoveryScript"

Hi,
Finally i used a microSD card and its works.
Thank you Detection for your help !
Its really really smooth, pretty impressive for a TF101

:good: Pleased you got it working in the end
Yea KatKiss is very smooth indeed, brings new life to our old tablets
