How to root TF101 B90 on stock ICS(US)

Hi guys,
I figured out how to root Asus Transformer TF101 B90 running on stock ICS (US version), but I'm not sure about B70 or B80
PLEASE Follow these steps, but as everyone says I'm not responsible your tablet, so do it on your own risk....
1) Install Android SDK (lookup on youtube and there is a video guide as it is)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UF5w1dKe2U
2) On tablet Go to setting -> development -> and select USB debugging
3) On tablet Go to setting -> security -> select Unknown Sources
4) On tablet Go to setting -> Accounts & Sync -> turnoff Asus Sync and Uncheck "Run/turn on Asus Sync" option
5) on XDA search for "ViperMOD" and download it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21007398
6) Dont have to install drivers if you have installed ADB(Android SDK) from step 2.
7) Now turn off anti-virus/internet security (mostly not required but just in case)
8) Run "viperMOD PrimeTime v4.5" which you downloaded (step 5).
9) read the options properly and choose "step 1" other steps dont work..!! (rooting process will restart the tablet once or twice, so dont worry).
10) IMPORTANT " DO NOT INSTALL CWM, SUPER USER OR BUSY BOX from "ViperMOD Primetime v4.5".
11) Go to the link below and download CWM directly into your tablet. Once you have downloaded install and run it and its a one click CWM installer and this will give you root and CWM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180
After step 11 you should have root and CWM on your tablet below steps are for flashing a latest version of CWM and desired ROM
12) Now goto market and download and install "OTA Root Keeper" and "Titanium Backup" in this order.
13) Run titanium backup and back up user softwares. (Remember to give superuser permissions")
14) Now go to the link below and download latest CWM to your laptop.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213723
15) Now turn off your laptop and push down power and volume down buttons together and as soon as there is a recovery option press volume up botton and that will take you into recovery.
16) Install latest CWM and restart the tablet.
17) now download the ROM you want from the forum and copy to MicroSD.
18) Get back into recovery and do a clean flash of the ROM and you are done.
I know it looks very long to read but steps wise its very easy..
I have the root and currently running Revolver ICS Beta on my TF101...
BIG SHOUT OUT TO
jcase for "Nachoroot"
Roach2010 for "CWM"
baseballfanz for " pointing me towards "ViperMOD"
Viperboy for "ViperMOD"
brk for "toolkit v7.1 universal"
without you guys i would have been stuck with crappy stock ICS

Step 11 needs to be cleared up a bit. Not sure exactly what I'm supposed to do. It says
11) Go to " Razorclaw and down load " CWM from the link given there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1427838 .
I already have Razorclaw installed but when I open the app it says the device lacks the needed file. No idea what that means. I'm not sure if that's what I'm even supposed to do though. I don't see anything about CWM in that link you posted or even anything on Razorclaw in that link unless I'm missing something.What exactly am I supposed to do for step 11?

I have changed the steps and i hope its clearer, but basically what im telling is download CWM from the link given and run it and not only install.
this is the link

Btw razorclaw doesnt work anymore, so dont bother about it. ViperMOD will root your tablet so "razorclaw" is not needed... all you need is "CWM" from the above link.. Hopefully you got my point.

Thanks Dude
OK worked for me just fine after a day of no joy --you saved my ass I did have to factory reset after updating to 9.2.1.17 without using root keeper bet I don't do that again

Big Thanks! Worked on my Slider without any hiccups.

i am dead !
i am the lucky one, who
a) has tf101g
b) has CWM 5.5.0.4
c) has no rom
d) has no recovery files/roms on internalSD
any suggestions?

Do you have adb working? You could push the files to internal sd.

5800xm user did you install a different ROM? If so may I ask which one? I just purchased the slider and have been looking for a way to root it. Have you had any issues since you performed this method? Is this the best way to root the slider?

Sorry for very late reply as i never bothered to look at this thread... I would advice you to put all your required files onto internal memory and access CWM and flash from there as CWM v5.5.0.4 wont allow you to access external MMC... If you have already already solved your issue then forget this

[q] how to install cyanogenmod 10 on samsung galaxy s3 for bell network

Hi my name is amandeep and i have tried installing the cyanogenmod 10 on my samsung galaxy s3 for bell canada network. However, i have searched many places, read different forums but all has failed. I had been told to use the at&t, cyanogenmod 10, this does not work because at&t modem is different from bell canada modem. I currently have bell network, model#sgh-i747m, android version 4.0.4, baseband version i747mvllh1. I have currently used clockworkmode and then switched to twrp. Please help me set up cyanogenmod 10 with detailed step by step instructions. I cannot find the proper instructions on youtube or google. In addition, when i had tried to install cyanogenmod 10, it would say "error 7", when i was using clockworkmode. I tried it on twrp but did not work and, i am new to twrp so mabey the developers can help me with this one please. Finally, i had bricked my phone yesterday and i had to flash the original bell stock rom which went successful but, i don't want to go through the hassle again. Please help, and if you can get back to me or even post the step by step instructions on youtube it would help alot of canadians including me.
Thank you

Install ClockWorkMod 6 and Cyanogenmod 10 on Galaxy S3 SGH-I747M on Bell Network
Hello,
This is my first post on XDA-Developers and also my first guide. I am not an expert when it comes to this stuff, I just know how to read and follow instructions. I previously had the Galaxy S2 on the Bell network and had to do a lot of reading to find out how to root, install ClockWorkMod and Cyanogenmod 9. So when I got my Galaxy S3 I had to do the same. This is a collaboration of my findings and I am in no way crediting myself for the information I found. I just put it here for anyone who wishes to have their Galaxy S3 on Bell with Cyanogenmod 10 and ClockWorkMod 6.
THESE STEPS ARE INTENDED FOR THE GALAXY S3 SGH-I747M ON BELL! PLEASE HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE WITH ROOTING, CLOCKWORKMOD AND CYANOGENMOD!
Step 1
I first followed this guide,
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-u-s-and-canada-galaxy-s3-sgh-t999sgh-i747sph-l710-fail-proofnoob-proof/
This guide explains how to root your Galaxy S3 and install ClockWorkMod 5.5 and SuperSU
Do not continue unless you have followed all of the steps and read his Q&A. There are 2 files he recommends you delete in order for the stock recovery from overwriting ClockWorkMod. Follow his guide completely.
Step 2
There is a small issue we must now deal with. ClockWorkMod 5.5 will not install Cyanogenmod 9 or 10. You will get an error when you try to install from the zip file. I searched high and low for an answer on how to update ClockWorkMod and it was a tough task. What I did is download the latest ClockWorkMod from clockworkmod.com for the AT&T phone.
http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-d2att.img
Rename the file to "recovery.img" and copy the .img file to your phone. I put mine in the /sdcard folder as to follow the instructions I found without modifying the command. After the .img file is on your phone, download Android Terminal Emulator from the Play Store. Run Android Terminal Emulator and enter "su" (no parenthesis) and SuperSU will ask you for your permission. Allow it. Then type these 3 commands:
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
# reboot recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If all is well you will be rebooted into the ClockWorkMod Recovery and you'll notice your version is now 6.0.1.2
If you fail at any point, retrace your steps and make sure everything goes smoothly.
Here is the original posting I found to find these steps,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1760376
Step 3
Now you need to download the Cyanogenmod 10 stable and Google Apps.
http://get.cm/get/jenkins/12630/cm-10.0.0-d2att.zip
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
You can either put those files on your phone or the external SD card.
Reboot your phone into ClockWorkMod Recovery by holding Volume Up+Home while powering on. Wipe your data/reset and cache. Then install Cyanogenmod 10 from the internal/external SD card and then install the Google Apps. Everything should have worked.
The following steps are provided by Cyanogenmod.com:
Method via Recovery
Download the latest version of CyanogenMod.
Optional: Download the Google Apps for the device.
Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the SD card.
Optional: Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the SD card also.
Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
Optional: Select backup and restore to create a backup of current installation on the Samsung Galaxy S III.
Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
Select Install zip from sdcard.
Select Choose zip from sdcard.
Select the CyanogenMod update.zip.
Optional: Install the Google Apps by performing steps 7 - 9 again and choosing the Google Apps update.zip.
Once the installation has finished, select +++++Go Back+++++ to get back to the main menu, and select the Reboot system now option. The Samsung Galaxy S III should now boot into CyanogenMod.

These are the steps I followed to achieve my Bell Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-I747M to get my phone rooted as well as install ClockWorkMod 6 and Cyanogenmod 10 installed. I hope this helps somebody else.

THANK YOU!!

I RARELY sign up for forums. I usually just take what I need and walk away. I've been looking for hours for instructions for Bell SGH-I747M. These steps worked flawlessly! My deepest gratitude to you for writing out these steps.
(For anyone else reading this, the only issue I had was that the two files I was supposed to delete so that ClockworkMod isn't overwritten weren't in the /system or /system/etc folder, so I continued on. I can boot into the ROM manager every time).
Thanks again!

Well, phone is hard bricked.

Well, this step hard bricked my Bell Canada Galaxy S3. Phone will not power on, no lights, no led no nothing, phone is dead. In the URL given, at page 22, it says that this is for Sprint Galaxy S3... at the first page of that forum, on of the EDIT point says to push recovery.img TWICE... I decided to follow only your thread and not read the other source thread you mentioned and that could have been a mistake. Maybe by pushing twice the file to the phone this wouldn't have happened to me.
Also, it mentions to use ADB, not "android terminal" app even if it seems to have worked. I don't think it played a part in my situation but who knows.
So just a word of advice for the folks who would like to flash this phone i747 to Cyanogen, read everything this thread refers you to and make sure you have the whole picture, not just what this poster says.
For now, I'm sending my phone to a JTAG repair.
To Amras86: I am not flaming you in any way. This is part of the game and I take full responsibility for this. Maybe if I had read it all this would not have happened to me. No worries.

I have follow all from the 2nd step with CWM 6.0.4.3 and CM-10.1.3 and all working perfectly..
Thanks....many days I trying to install the latest CyanogenMod stable,without result...

need help
Hi ichiyamato,
I am having a weird issue.
I was removing some system apps, included was an app called AppsInSD or something.
After that I am unable to transfer apps to SD saying 'couldn't move app'.
Moving apps back to internal is fine but moving them back to SD is not working anymore.
I'm not sure if removing that AppsInSD system app has affected this.
could you help me extract that apk I mentioned
and post it here. Thanks!
Update: just bricked my device can't help messing around stuff. I'll just wait for the official rom updates to come.
or updates on cwm, and other stuff.

[Guide] Root Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 P5200/P5210 without pre-rooted firmware

Hello everyone,
my english is not too good so exuse me.
This guide is for Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 P5200/P5210 only.
i take not responsibility for bricking your device so please be carefull.
*NEW* video tutorial of this guide (made by @hamsturcio)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9TSr-5P20Y
i have rooted my galaxy tab 3 10.1 P5200 without pre-rooted firmware and i want to show you all how i did:
1-Download TWRP Recovery (make sure to use the version that matches your tab model):
Link for the P5200 model: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952613332
Link for the P5210 model: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952613346
*or you can use CWM recovery incase if TWRP recovery doesn't work:
Link for CWM recovery non-touch (works on both P5200 and P5210):
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23125694133305802
2-Download Odin 3.07:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490002273
3-Download the ROOT file (SuperSU)*:
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU
*Incase if the SuperSU root method doesn't work,try this one instead (Superuser):
http://www59.zippyshare.com/v/96195148/file.html
4-Reboot into download mode(hold volume down+power) you will see a warning message,press volume up to continune,and your tab is now on download mode.
5-Open Odin,Connect the Tab to the computer and click on PDA,then select the TWRP recovery,
-make sure to uncheck 'auto-reboot' before flashing,because the tab might reinstall the stock recovery (thank you @Benzoman for telling me that).
6-When done,reboot the tab,and copy the ROOT file directly to the internal storage of the tab (or even external sdcard) and reboot into recovery (hold volume up+power).
7-Select install zip from sdcard,locate the root file where you have copied it (Internal storage or sdcard) and select it.
8-Flash the root file.
9-Reboot the tab,you will see a new app called SuperSU or Superuser,and surprise your tab is rooted
Credits goes to the developers who made the rooting method possibe on this device,i didn't make them so im only here to share information.
Have a nice day!!

Great guide. First one using twrp for the 10.1
Works great. Only suggestion is to uncheck auto reboot in odin because some people have issues with the tab reinstalling stock recovery with auto reboot.

Yes it nice to have root. TWRP is a little laggy though. It take a few swipes to get it repond sometimes. CMW is another alt but it takes up a whole lot of room for a backup. Almsot 9 gigs! TWRP is closer to 2.5 gigs for a full back up.

You should download TWRP to your PC since you're going to flash it with Odin and the other to the tab because you're going to use it in the new custom recovery ie..TWRP

quick question about step 7
In step 7, we are instructed to "install zip from sdcard and choose the root file." I downloaded all the required files onto my computer. To complete step 7 as instructed, do I have to copy the file to the sd card that is in my Tablet so the zip file installs from there or is this a step that is completed through the Odin program and installed off the Root file on my computer? I hope this question makes sense...
Thank you!

Hi depkat,
extSDcard is what I used..
The whole process of rooting was very simple
Sorry EDIT..for clarity
When you complete 'Step 6' you will see where it's needed
(Very clear option top left hand corner on Tab 3's screen - at beginning of step 7)

Last question!
Once the root is complete, which I successfully done, how to we move apps to the sd card? on my phone i used FolderMount. I tried that on the Tab and the errors were great! I could not see storage availability and it just did not work right on the Tab3. Any ideas?

1. If you look at the Tab 3's 'built in' "Application Manager" you will see an option move apps
Can be found "Settings">>"Application Manager">>select app you wish to move>>"Move to SD card
(or the reverse "Move to device Storage" from SD)
2. ES File Manager <<- great tool - worth spending the time reviewing all it's options, doing so will surely save 'anyone' time later on.
(Hint: add/remove apps withOUT prompts (true batch) - back up apps with data etc etc)
Hope this helps

What we really need, is a thread with "Must have Apps for our Galaxy Tab 3s"
with notes on apps to avoid
Best browser I found 'so far' is Dolphin with it's 'Jet Pack' add on

I think you need to add little bit more info to your OP
Because right after the first reboot. You need to immediately press and hold power + volume down button. Reason for that is Stock rom replaces the recovery in the first reboot. So you want to get in to recovery before rom replaces with stock one.
When you exit CWM it will ask you If you want to disable recovery flash.
This info would save a lot of time for other people.

Im a bit confused.
Benzoman told me to uncheck the "auto reboot" when flashing the recovery with odin to prevent the stock ROM from replacing the recovery,and you told me "after the first reboot,to press and hold power + volume down because the stock rom replaces the recovery on the first reboot"What do you mean by the first reboot?before or after flashing the recovery?

If you uncheck auto reboot you avoid the replacement of stock recovery. Giving you the time to boot into the new recovery and reboot without stock recovery installing. Hope this makes sense. Some people have had success not unchecking auto reboot and haven't had any problems with stock recovery reinstalling on reboot. So it seems to suggest using the method of unchecking auto reboot would work for everyone even if they weren't going to have the stock restore issue.

[Q] Cannot access SD-Card in Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H ?

Hello folks, i have Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H and i have rooted my phone and installed the CWM recovery, which i think has done good.
Even the phone after being rooted hasn't done me any good.
I had initially started a topic here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/help/copy-to-ssd-samsung-galaxy-core-2-sm-t3033178
But the OP hasn't been able to give me some working solutions.
So i am asking to anyone who knows about this stuff. I have rooted and installed CWM recovery, that still given me authority
over my SD-Card, i cannot copy/paste/delete/rename basically access it fully.
The only way i can do is, remove the SD-Card and insert in a Card reader and copy/paste/delete etc.
But i cannot directly do from phone itself.
I already have fX Explorer, Solid explorer and ES File Explorer.
Nothing has worked, so i am asking can anyone show me how to do that.
I would be grateful for your suggestion.
Awaiting reply.

Have you flashed new firmware ?
New kernels (boot.img) have default ro acess to sdcard !
Please state your infos :
Model
Modem
Core build ...
The workaround I provide for this type won't work after update !!!
You will have to flash previous boot or recompile the new boot
Regards.

Have U read my last reply ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59071633&postcount=11
The FS /system and other too is/are readonly (ro) in device, so if u want to delete or copy inside this partition u must change it to rw (readwrite), it's better for you to use some Explorer root based application like FX Explorer with root addon ...
If u have copied the update zip to extSdCard and run the update procedure in stock recovery U should be able to copy/edit/delete files on your extSdCard - Card if the install were sucessfull.
For a check: Install app https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...=nextapp.sdfix and check again things now U'r rooted. Regards

I have already installed at least a dozen of explorer, most promising was fx explorer with it free root access add-on, the other was ES File
explorer. They both can't copy/paste files to Memory card.
My device is Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H, Android 4.4.2. I have already rooted and installed CWR mode, but i havn't flashed my firmware.
I am searching now for a possible firmware update, that could access memory card.
Could you do a small part from your side and find a firmware that can be flashed in my device, i will try from my side. :good:
Will update , if i find some solution.

The users in this forum don't know how to read posts. U'r among them too. Sorry for my statement, but it's true.
It's not only the explorers,apps or managers that can copy files from/to. The KitKat have a fix for KitKat SDCard ro access.
For a check: Install app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix and check again things now U'r rooted. Regards

All of the stock firmwares uses KK RO acess for SdCard unless U install some custom & fixed ones.
Have also provided many tutorials in the subforums detaily how to fix it for GC2 models.
Latest firmwares uses some extra functionality regarding SDCards, fix will not work unless ...
Enjoy.
Read your start thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/help/copy-to-ssd-samsung-galaxy-core-2-sm-t3033178

OK, thanks for the statement. I accept, i am a newbie here. I can figure my way through most of the other forum out there.
But one pertaining to Mobile device require's little more knowledge, because its tricky, since there are a huge number of devices.
I am not a regular visitor.
Anyways, i found a firmware for my device.
Link:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G355H/
http://samsung-updates.com/details/42605/Galaxy_Core_2/SM-G355H/INS/G355HXXU0AOC1.html
The second link to the firmware matched the hashes to the link in the first link.
Did the Odin thing, and all the necessary steps. But still i am not able to copy/paste/delete etc function.
So i technically give up for this device, i'll use it as it is.
@StratOS_HTC: I tried the KitKat access app from Google Play store, a number of them. But they all showed similar results.
But i'll be open to your opinion.
Thank you.:good:

As said and will said again :
Please read carefully !
Hope your phone works ok and everything else on phone is ok.
If you can't access your extSdCard throught phone do a low level format ( and hope you don't use 64 GB ).
Hope also you don't use any other EXT partition on your sdcard. or any other sd linkage or swap options on your sdcard
Format the sdcard as only extFAT or FAT on any other comp card reader and reformat it on the phone !
Now you should be able to access the sdcard on your phone if every thing else on phone is ok.
If U'r rooted on stock ( KitKat sdcard restriction ) and if U have installed nextapp.sdfix and grant su access to it the app will change this permissions for you and you will be able to aceess rw to sdcard now.
