Hello all,
I need some help.
My tablet runs fine. I just would like to upgrade to JB and explore some other options as far as custom ROM goes.
I'm a total and complete Noobe. I mean from the core, but want to learn more about this tablet and how to customize it.
I am running a TF101 B50 on ICS 4.0.3. Build 9.2.1.27.
I need help from start to finish, and I mean someone to hold my hand so to speak. lol SORRY
Can some of you help me to get this thing rooted, then help guide me on how to proceed from there to upgrade to JB and possibly some other options of custom ROM?
Thank you in advance.
John
Great news for you, Frederuco is way head of you. Go through the process and you'll learn everything you need to flash other roms as well. If you think you killed it, you probably haven't and can go back to stock using easyflasher.

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?
I think the answer is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19339153&postcount=36

Hey guys, Already got the SGS2 with SensatioN ROM 3 on it, so know Android a fair bit really. But for Christmas I got a Motorola Xoom and very happy with it really!
But a few questions, specific to the Xoom itself, rather than Android:
1) Is it as easy to root/put custom ROMs/mods, etc on?
2) Is there any benefits of rooting it?
3) Will it mess up any warranty/guarantee if I did root it?
4) If anyone has one and they've done any significant mods/roms to/on it, then please could you tell me if you would recommend them, and give me links etc?
Thanks for your help guys with every problem I've had so far!
Merry Christmas everybody, hope your day has been great!

Hi there, i've a SGS2 too.. so i could answer with my experience...
1)its different root a Cellphone and a tablet, but its easy, you need, adb commands on you pc, and the root image, and thats all, find the thread on dev sect.
Then when you are root, just download the rom (Tiamat), reboot on recovery mod, and install it. It's easy...
2) yeah, if you are not root you can't install romsm you get superuser access ( you manage all your device...
3) Yes you lose, but you can unroot it.
4) Motorola Xoom have an AWSOME rom, whos developers are the Team Tiamat... they make pefect the Xoom...
You get the Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254933
And the Team Rogue, make wonderful themes and kernels that give to the xoom a high perfomance with few lose battery....
i hope this help you, if you need some else tell me

If you are interested in rooting and modding, you could take a look at this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249798
Also, Android 4/Ice Cream Sandwich rom is in development right now; as a matter of fact, I am using it as a daily driver now...it's just missing a few bits, but it's already super fast, smooth and stable, over clocked to 1.6 ghz. So you're going to have fun.
Okay thanks for your help so far but im gonna need a bit more help than just "adb" because m only a 15 year old lad and I don't understand that?
Also what is missing from ICS, as I put it on my SGs2 and it had quite a few features missing/broken?

Actually, I'll bet you will understand how to do this...just go slow and step by step. There really isn't any quicker way (but you can use the limited adb setup furnished by Mandebrot Benoit).
What's still missing from ICS for the Xoom? So far, only camera and microphone don't work. If you root, you might want to flash the latest Team Eos ICS nightly---look in the Development section for more info.
I ahve a mac too, could you give me relevant links/information towards rooting please?
Thanks

Well, I don't have one so I suggest you search on rooting or adb/fastboot with a mac. There have been threads/posts on the topic.
Ah man, I have no idea what to do to root it
My Xoom arrives tomorrow, is all of the info in this thread still up to date? If so, it looks like a good step by step Oli ...

OMG when i started with rooting, i never see the @okantomi Guide... Damm!
...
Yes that's all that your need for rooting
I have never rooted a tablet or phone before, but I am not stupid when it comes to hacking and modifying electronics. I just have some questions since I have been trying to root my xoom yesterday with no luck. First off, my xoom is running off of 4.0.4, which I believe is ice cream sandwich. I did not update to jelly bean yet because I do not know if that has protection against rooting. I also have an 8 GB micro sd card.
I first tried using Lord AIO tools to make it easy, and it worked for unlocking my bootloader but not for rooting. I was also using this guide, but it is outdated and I am also confused about a few things.
First off, it seems like everyone uses CWM Recovery to root, but obviously it needs to be rooted before you can install the Recovery tool. Is that why you have to first install the "fastboot flash recovery eos-recovery-r6.img" file? Also, will anything not work now that I am on 4.0.4? If anyone can give me a noob guide just like the one above, but for 4.0.4 it would be greatly appreciated. Also any tips would help.
I know I have more questions, but I have to go to a friends baby shower so when I get back I will post any new questions I have. Thanks for any help and tips you guys have! :laugh:

Thanks alot, read the post. I will have to wait until at least Tomorrow to try this, seems the goo.im site servers are on overload. Reading into it they seem to have been having trouble with equipment costs and such. This guide is much more informative than any others I have seen so I can't wait to try it! Thanks again.
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!!!

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. )
Hi everyone,
I am pretty much a complete newb when it comes to rooting and flashing android devices, but I would like to try a custom ROM to speed up my TF101. I currently have a TF101 running ICS 4.0.3, with a build number of 9.2.1.27 - 20126015. I really want to get some knowledge of how to root, flash, and everything else to improve the performance of my tablet while sacrificing as little stability as possible.
I've been looking for guides and tutorials to help newbs like me, but I can't find anything stickied on the forums. Can anyone direct me to the appropriate resources, or explain the whole process to me like I'm 4? I do have a little bit of experience with flashing ROMs, as I had an old HTC Touch Pro that I had custom ROMs on - back when it was a way longer and more painful process than on devices now.
Thanks,
fedorsauce
look for PERI tool in the forum, use it to install a recovery, then from that recovery, you can flash any ROM you want. all roms come pre rooted i think.
