Possible fix for lost root with 8.6.5.21

2nd update today! 4th Jan
Thanks to GLS9 and Baseballfanz for the info. It seems we have a universal root. 'Nachoroot'.
Check it out here if you were left stuck with the other methods. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427838

- Get Razorclaw and install it, no root needed.
- Get the recovery installer and do the same.
- Check your version info. You'll see a pair of letter which are like the "WW", "UK", "US" pairs in the various update files. It appears, at least when I was trying to do this, that you cannot use unmatched pairs (I don't know about the "WW" one, since I started with US and (accidentally) went to .13 US version).
- Follow the instructions regarding downloading the .13 update (WW version and/or whatever letter pair your tablet uses, in case the WW doesn't work). Unzip, slap on external SD, power off, power on with down volume, volume up to go to recovery, bang. Done.
- Do the same thing with the megaupload file (.19). The second option did fix the problem I had, which was trying to update to a WW.19 firmware from a US.13 - DO THE DOUBLE FILE/RENAME TRICK. It works perfectly.
- Run razorclaw, run recovery installer, and gloat.
Seriously, now knowing how the paired-letters-not-compatible-with-other-letters thing works, the whole process would take maybe 10-15 minutes tops. Thanks for the post!
update. Success does seem to vary and some people have managed to make this work with a different SD and other variations. If my method or Trip's doesn't work for you have a look at some of the tweaks that other guys have used. If you did something different and it works let us know. Thanks.
I have a UK transformer and I lost root after the OTA 8.6.5.21 update. Yes, should have checked before applying.
Wasn't able to root with NVFlash so I downloaded http://www.multiupload.com/X65RBVD2MB the 8.6.6.19 file that was posted by Lizard here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393953&page=3
I unzipped it until I had the WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip file. I placed this on the root directory of the external SD card and when I rebooted it gave me the option to install.
This installed OK so I just re-ran Razorclaw and sorted. I have superuser back.
Warnings and all. This would seem to be the US update but is working fine on my UK B70 (presumably SBK2 pad). I've installed CWM and backed up too. No promises that this won't destroy your pad/steal your gal or boy/shoot your dog.
Card formatting?

That was formatted with NTFS.Tried another microSD in FAT32, just copied the WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip file and VOILA', all worked flawlessy (method 1).
Step by step
1) Download http://www.multiupload.com/X65RBVD2MB
2) Unzip so you have just have WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip. Keep this zipped and copy to root of external micro SD.
3) Reboot with card in place, don't enter recovery.
4) When it booted back into the OS I had a triangle in the notification bar. I clicked this and it offered to install the update.
5) After tab updated as usual I just re-ran Razorclaw and I had root back.
Update. trippmcnealy had success with a tweak to this. If it doesn't work you might want to follow his method.
1) Download http://www.multiupload.com/X65RBVD2MB
2) Unzip so you have just have "WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip". Keep this zipped and copy to root of external SD.
3) Put another copy of the same file on your external SD card and name it "EP101_SDUPDATE.zip"
4) Put both files "EP101_SDUPDATE.zip" and "WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip" on the root of your internal SD card.
5) Power down your TF
6) Power up into recovery - by pressing the power button and volume down button. Then press volume up when instructed by the screen.
7) You should now see the Android guy with some gears turning. This is good, actually this is GREAT! This will go on for a minute or so and then the device will reboot on its own. It will then go to the boot screen and you should see a bar showing you the progress of the update.
8) Once it has completed, install RazorClaw and root your device.
Tips from Baseballfanz
For those not able to get it working, a few things to check.
1-Make sure you actually extract the WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip within the zip. Inside the file you download is an Asus folder, inside that is an Update folder, inside that is the WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip file you'll be working with.
2-When renaming, if your PC is set to "hide known extension", you'll not see the .zip so if you type in .zip you'll get filename.zip.zip The file manager on the TF should show you the extension
3-Make sure it's on the root of the sd card and not within any folder.
4-Check spelling of files
WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip EP101_SDUPATED.zip
5-Micro sd card is in FAT32 format. Try a different card or format again (after saving your stuffs)
6-File manager on the TF sdcard is internal and Removable/MicroSD is the external sd card.
Suggestions
It would be useful for people to report info with posts about success or not. What SBK, serial number (B70 etc) and current firmware are you on? I'm no dev but hopefully we can make things easier for others.

Please let me know if any info is missing and I'll update.

Ah, this seems interesting! I also have a uk transformer and will give it a go.
So you don't need anything else but stock? I will try this now, and does it wipe your data? Used asus backup just in case.

Cool
Hi,
thanks for the info. As far as I know the WW-version is not US only, but should match the version you have (you can check that in the settings/about tablet).
As far as I know WW stands for WorldWide and actually means US and (most of) Europe. There are special versions for Taiwan, Germany and Canada though...
I will try this later with my transformer (bought in switzerland) - i should work!
Regards, Thomas

Yeah I was thinking that. It comes with all the country files anyway.

I tried this a couple of days ago and it didn't work, turns out I unzipped the wrong file.
Unzip the .19 update to the root of your sdcard and reboot the transformer if it doesn't detect the update.
Now I haz root.

So external or internal? And just reboot or recovery? Vol down+power then vol up? Thanks, sorry for the questions!

Hi there,
I unzipped to external and rebooted with the card in place. I didn't use recovery. The OS detected the update and offered to install. Just proceeded from there.
I mentioned the US update as the file is 8.6.6.19 not 8.6.5.19
Good luck.

I'm still getting the dreaded triangle when trying this fix, any suggestions?

Hi Samuel
Can you talk us through what you did and your setup? I'm no expert but hopefully we can find out what's awry.

Nice 1 m8. Do yo think this will work with B40 model? Where in leeds are you from? I in pudsey.

Should this work with the TF101G (B90 / DE / 8.6.6.10) too?

But is it ok/safe? Guessing it is. Just popped up saying there is an update for me as well, going to give it a go now.
The honeycomb upgrading 'droid is so cool! I think its working fine!
If anyone could make a Uk one, that would be great. I am thinking the reason why this is working is because of the increase in firmware numbers, from x.x.5 to x.x.6.

Hi Seg2012
Only tried on mine until others can update to say it worked. You should be able to root with NVFlash though.
I'm from Morley but live nearer to Dewsbury now. Small world!

Going to flash this to my B90 US tablet, will report back-

This is great, worked perfectly! Now onto a custom rom! Revolver I think!

First off I downloaded the WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19.zip file. I placed this on the root directory of the micro SD card. Secondly I reboot my new baby using the power button and the down rocker of the volume button.I then pressed the up rocker to get into the recovery mode, now I only then get the green android with the yellow triangle with exclamation. My Asus tf is HTK7.WW.EPAD-8.6.521-20111216 any help would most appreciated.

I didn't use recovery. Just rebooted and the tab detected it. I clicked the triangle in the bar, it offered to update and went from there.

If you clear up the op with slightly clearer instructions this is sticky worthy. Helpful!

Stock TF101 wont OTA

So my sister just bought a Transformer tonight, It has never been rooted or anything.
It will not detect any updates on the "search for update" OTA thing.
I also downloaded the ICS firmware directly from Asus's website, extracted it on a microSD card, and the trasnformer still doesnt show theres any update.
In the manual update guide it says put the extracted ASUS folder on the SD card, however there is no ASUS folder in the update downloaded from their site.
No idea whats going on.
Any help is appreciated.

Did you unzipped the file you download from Asus website? You can't leave it whole, there's another zip inside that zip.

Yep I followed all the instructions

Reading that gives me the feeling that you probably didn't do it right. There is no reason it won't work.
Can you post the EXACT steps you took?

I'm having the same issue
There is no ASUS directory in the zip.
Inside the second zip there is a file called blob and a directory called Meta-Inf with a bunch if files in.

Okay, I go to asus's tf101 site, download sectiion > firmware.
Download the US SKU 4.0.3 firmware update which is ~300mb
Extract that zip which yields a file with another ZIP inside of it. There is no ASUS folder.
Like the above poster said, the second zip file looks like a recovery update script that you would flash in CWM with a meta-inf with the signatures, and a blob file.
EDIT[SOLVED]:
Okay I figured it out. I downloaded the 3.2.1 update from asus, which does have the ASUS folder. This one worked and launched the update wizard.
It seems that the update wizard looks for the directory /ASUS/Update/US_epad-user-x.x.x.xx.zip file on the root of the microSd card.
So I put the ICS update which is US_epad-user-9.2.1.11.zip into the ASUS/Update/ Directory in the microSD card that I initially extracted from the 3.2 update. Sure it enough it launched the update wizard and allowed me to select that file for the update.
ASUS Didnt properly upload the ICS update it seems.
I still dont know why the OTA didnt acknowledge an update.

OK, this is just getting dumb now.
OK, this is just getting really really stupid now. ASUS I AM SERIOUSLY STARTING TO HATE YOU.
OK I have done the following across MULTIPLE reboots and really getting ticked off now. This would NOT be an issue if the recovery mode didn't give me a damned green droid with yellow triangle with ! in the middle of it.
I have:
Way 1
-------
1 - Extracted WW_epad-user-9.2.1.11.zip from the original WW_epaduser9_2_1_11UpdateLauncher.zip from ASUS site.
2 - Copied extracted WW_epad-user-9.2.1.11.zip to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip
3 - Put both zips on root of microSD. Failed. Tried with copy on /sdcard/ as well, both with and without leaving the original 2 on the microSD.
Way 2
-------
Extracted the WW zip both to the / of the tablet and to the root of the microSD, trying both with and without leaving the originals on the microSD.
Way 3
-------
Same exact as Way 1 and Way 2 but with removing the .zip extension from both files, and with swapping removal of the extension between the 2 files on both the tablet and the microSD.
Way 4
-------
Tried all permutations of Way 1, 2, and 3 with both 8.6.5.21 and 8.6.6.21.
NONE of these ways worked.
I grabbed NVFLASH with 8.6.5.13 and that flashed just fine, except that the recovery mode is still giving me the triangular ! droid image.
I absolutely positively can not root or otherwise do anything to this tablet.
The tablet is a ASUS 32GB Transformer HD Tablet (Serial #: B50KAS#####) with a 2GB microSD formatted with FAT32. (I've tried formatting NTFS and FAT32) This is not a Prime! This is the original Transformer!
I even found an article for how to create your own and tried that as well!.
(Wow really guys? You can't post outside links?? Really? What the heck is that retardation supposed to prevent? I mean really!)
All I get for that mess is the USB connection is dropped even before NVFLASH can do anything. I have Windows 7 Ultimate, Mac OS X Lion, and several distributions of Linux (ArchLinux, Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, and OpenSUSE). I've tried on them all!! This has been a great many hours trying to figure this out, searching like crazy through these forums. (Incidently, the 10 posts requirement in order to post in the 'experienced' area is just nuts.)
I even tried both the renaming WW portion of the zip name to US as described in other areas in this forum and it still failed! I'm a programmer by trade, and I have never run up against something as stubborn as this! The recovery mode is what is breaking all of this. I absolutely can not get a stable, working recovery mode on this tablet! Heck, I'd be happy with the stock 8.6.5.21 on here or ICS (the 9.2.1.11) without ever again attempting to root the pup! Can anyone assist in getting the recovery mode back to normal? Is there a way to use NVFLASH to write the original recovery mode back such that I stop getting that dang Droid With Yellow ! Triangle image?

Do you have CWM Recovery installed? If so, it will not do the OTA updates, but you can just go into CWM Recovery and then choose the 9.2.1.11 firmware and when it is done flashing, you will have an unrooted stock ICS (with stock recovery).

Razorclaw only works on 8.6.5.19.
Not certain on which version you try to run razorclaw.
use Vipermod on 8.6.5.21 or higher.

was 8.6.5.13 which is what i was able to nvflash back to the tablet. Do you know if there is a more recent nvflash packaged 8.6? Looking to see if I can at least put 8.6.5.21 on here. Currently still running the 8.6.5.13

Mine also wont OTA, i have put the downloads in ASUS/Update and nothing... does not detect updates.

Just bought my tf101 yesterday, same problem. Called support and they told me the update was not pushed to my device yet and a manual update would probably fail.how long ago was ics released?
found it, february 24th... It should be pushed to my device by now, right?

G'day guys,
I finally managed to get it to work for me!
TLDR Version - I have the US build version - this may or may not be relevant to these instructions:
* Use "App Backup" to backup all your apps and/or data (optional)
* Factory reset
* Choose "English (US)" from the initial setup wizard and default options for the rest (skip wifi setup)
* Plug the transformer in to your PC via USB
* Create the following folder structure exactly (including case!)
<Internal Storage>\ASUS\Update
* Copy US_epad-user-9.2.1.11.zip that you extracted from US_epaduser9_2_1_11UpdateLauncher.zip to "<Internal Storage>\ASUS\Update"
* Reboot Transformer
* Choose the triangle from the notification area
* TF should update successfully!
Long version:
I followed the instructions in this thread but still wasn't having any luck.
I don't have an external SD card so I was copying the zip from the downloaded file to internal storage\Asus\Update. The triangle was appearing in the bottom right but when I went to do the update it would reboot to the android man with an "!" on his chest. I then tried a factory reset and then recopied the update and tried again. Same "!" dude. I tried another reset but did two things different and it then worked! Instead of choosing "English (UK)" on the initial setup wizard (I'm from Aus) I chose "English (US)" (just a wild guess given its US update required for my TF. The other thing that I did differently was located the update at "ASUS\Update". Note the capitalisation of "ASUS" where previously I was using Asus. I had this idea when I noticed the first time I had both "Asus" and "ASUS" folders there simulataneously. So one or both of those things made it work for me!
If these tips worked for you please post your success (or otherwise even).
Best of luck!

New 700t won't update

I have a new infinity out of the box that is on build 9.4.5.22 ( am in US) I go to check for update, which should be .26 , I think, and tablet says no update available. What gives?

You can Update manually from the Asus Website:
http://www.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_Infinity_TF700T/#download
Just extract the zip to the root of your external sdcard.

will have to be manual. Believe it or not this is a serial number issue AGAIN with ASUS. They really need to get it together. I love products but they are really throwing up all over themselves with the tablet market

there are plenty other threats with the same question, many of which have step by step solutions.
Check the first threat that's pinned "*** Firmware Thread*** 9.4.5.26 27/07", the one named "Firmware 9.4.5.26 20120720" or "Bored to wait the .26 with WW TF700 device?".

I have done two updates with the file that Asus Service web site posts for its customers. For me its no big issue since I am on forums about the TF700T often and get a heads up when a new update is available. I am sure Asus will take care of this with the release of Jelly Bean in the next month or two. It is the only issue my unit has so I am very happy with my TF700T.

I unzipped the files and put them on the MicroSD card. Nothing happens when I put the card in my tablet though. There is a file called "META-INF" and a file named "blob". What am I doing wrong?

You're unzipping too far. There's a zip inside a zip.

Ok, so I started the update....but now the Android dude is undergoing open heart surgery with a red exclamation sign. I don't see a progress bar at the bottom. What should I do? Can't I update directly from version .21?
Update: I reformatted the card from exFAT to FAT32 and that seemed to do the trick.

Warning: All the file and rom in this post is only good for the version mark FID:BN on the back cover beside the Made in China, Otherwise it will brick your tablet

Fantastic....Now how about the 4.0.4 ROM for TB1082B FID:HN?????

Good news I guess
I did follow the instruction and did get Android 4.0.4 on my Zeki TB782B tablet. I don't see much difference at the moment but maybe using it for a little bet maybe I will see what the difference is...just using it for a couple of minutes it does seem maybe a little smoother perhaps.

Now that I've installed it, the volume buttons along the bottom of the screen disappear and reappear every so often, but that's minor. Everything else seems to be working fine.

I did find out that my directv app does not seem to work on the 4.0.4 version.

Try to press the Vol+ and the power switch to see if you can go to the recovery page.
If yes, it can be unbricked. Otherwise you need to reflash the ROM.

[Q] Total noob wants help reverting to factory rom

I've seen posts in other forums about where to find files and how to do this with other devices but nothing specific to the TF700. After installing the latest system update (4.2.1) I found a lot of apps, including system apps. were crashing and the whole thing was running incredibly slow. I went into the settings and did a factory reset, reinstalled the apps and set everything up again but the same thing is still happening.
I read somewhere that flashing the system rom (which I'm guessing reinstalls the system files) might be a way to get things working again. I've never done this before, and I know things can go badly if you do it wrong, so I'm hoping someone can walk me through it, including letting me know which files I should be using.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Download the full Asus firmware from Asus site, unzip the file then copy the unzipped file to the root of your micro sdcard, you should see a notification to upgrade, do the upgrade.

I have tried to do that but the Build Number that I have isn't on the Asus site. After upgrading my build number is JOP40D.ww_epad-10.6.1.14.4-20130329
All the ones on the Asus site have 2012 as the year, and I even tried the one that matched everything else and just get an error message after it starts installing.
Any ideas?

Go to this page, select "Android" and find your build number - it's there: Version V10.6.1.14.4(WW)

Try this method:
Download this from Asus " Version V10.6.1.14.4(WW) "
You have to decompress the ZIP File. Then you have the actual update ZIP file, then rename the File to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip" (without quote).
Reformat your micro sdcard to fat32 (make sure you do this) and copy the File to the root of a FAT32 formated microSD Card and insert into your Tab.
Now, reboot into recovery (hold volume down and power button and release when see white text on the screen) and the update install will begin without any verification of Software Version.
