Hi Guys
I have been following these xda forums for a while now but never registered until now. Please forgive me if this is the wrong section to post this under, any moderators feel free to move if need to, I am fairly new to android, I have an android tablet Asus TF101 and used a guide on here to root. a while back.
After a long wait I have finally gotten a new phone after having an old nokia 5800, well still waiting for it to be delivered, the new Padfone Infinity a86 I have searched and searched for methods to root the device, but can not seem to find any, at least any that seem legitimate does any one know if there is a root method available for it?
Second after looking into and rooting my tablet I would quite like to get into custom roms, but not quite confident in that area yet as I do not have the know how to fix it incase I brick it, Is there any youtube videos/channels anyone can reccomend I can watch. and rom manager is that worth looking at as I did hear some decent things about that.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Kind Regards
Majon.

Rooting für das New Padfone Infinity A86
But This page is in German language.
The tool itself is in chineese, even. But there is only One Button, so no way to be wrong

thanks again

First of all, I would like to thank in advance the guys who answer my questions.
1)I ve read some threads about Xoom and I see most of you are in 3.2 and in Europe we don't have even 3.1 . How can I make it to be a US version to get the updates? Is it safe or should I wait?
2)My first priority is to find a way to root my device. I saw a one-click root way but the files are offline from xda and it says that it has issues with EUR versions. Whats your advice? Can you help me with the steps because I dont have much android knowledge?
3)Whats your opinion about custom roms for Xoom and how can I flash from 3.01?
Thanks again, and if you have any suggestions on what apps you love using in your xoom it would be great
Apps go the apps section and read.
Changing to us version and flashing roms etc go to the development section and read.
You clearly don't like to chat m8, If I found a topic for EUR but the links are offline as I said before. There are people who like to share their knowledge thats why its a q/a thread and not app section or dev section.

Hi there, welcome to the Xoom family.
Like every family, some members like to talk and others don't.
It's true that the threads you want are mostly in the Development section.
Since you are on Wifi only it should be pretty easy for you to flash the US wifi image (you will actually find that in the 1st post in General) but you should read a bit just to make sure you know what steps to take. Also, language packs are available if you need a language other than English, French or Spanish, but there may be some complications.
I would advise you against using any type of one click rooting method. The Xoom is easy to unlock and root, but is more complicated than many phones. On the plus side, it's pretty hard to brick as long as you follow instructions. Prepare to use adb and you'll do fine. Once you've unlocked and flashed the US image, you will get the OTA updates as soon as you are on a wifi connection. This is where you need to see which rooting method will be best for you. You will need to install the Tiamat Clockwork Mod Recovery 3.2.0.0 (from solarnz's thread) so you can flash from the micro sdcard) There are ways to root from 3.0, 3.1 and from 3.2. Head over to the Development section and look for what you want. Once you are rooted, check out the Team Tiamat Xoom Rom 2.0 Manta Ray. It really rocks. You will have to wipe user data for many of these steps, so don't bother with setting up more than you have to until you are at you final destination, so to speak.
Good luck!
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

Hello Everyone,
This is my first post but I have a couple of questions maybe someone can help me with. I purchased a B90 Transformer yesterday and just rooted with Razorclaw. (AWESOME APP BTW DONATION INCOMING) I have not installed any custom roms just some apps. After I have rooted is there a way I can get this tablet completely back to stock? Sorry if it is a simple questions but this is my first root EVER.
Thanks again for all the help and I appreciate you all helping with these medial questions.

Well, the first thing I would say is to read the forum rules.....You really should be trying to search the forums instead of posting a thread asking for the answer.....
Now that I'm done being a **** about that....if you go to page 2 in the Android Development section you can find this nice, nifty little post...
Easy Unroot
I guess my first real question is, since your thread title says you want to go back to factory to play order and chaos, why? You don't need to be factory to play it. I can play it just fine on my rooted/ROM'ed transformer without doing anything special. The normal APK (1.0.4 I believe) works just fine without modification.....
Hello,
I've searched on the forum but I haven't founded a post which will answer to my problem.
I have an asus eee pad transformer TF101. It's a B70 and i'm on ICS. So I would like to root it and install ubuntu on dual boot. Is it possible ? Can you give me a (simple) tutorial because i'm new on android.
Thanks!asus ee
I second this question, but for a B90. I'm not new to rooting android devices but the forums are a mess and I don't have time to dig through hundreds of pages looking for clues to the correct way. Anybody who's been keeping up on the transformer scene and can post a link or two to the relevant guides, I'd appreciate it.
The easiest way to root is with vipermod which can be found in the transformer prime section. Use option 1 to root.
Ubuntu is much more dificult especially on b70+ because of the locked secure boot key but it is still possible. I believe the tutorial is in the general form but i am not quite sure. This can easily cause an unrecoverable brick so be warned
Hey everyone, I apologize in advance for my ignorance here. Mods, I searched for this to the best of my limited ability, and I don't think this exact thing is covered elsewhere (and I can't post in the Developers forums with a new account). If I'm mistaken and this is addressed, or if this is not the right place for this question, I apologize--please move it accordingly.
I have an ASUS ME127V which I rooted and installed Clockworkmod Recovery following the guides here in the Dev forums (this was about a year ago, so things may have changed in the interim).
Recently I've become aware of the SSL issues with Android 4.1.1, so I'd like to restore my tablet to stock and upgrade my Android version, but unfortunately I'm just coming up short every time I try to do this. I've tried the AMPC beta app that's linked to in the dev forum, but haven't managed to get it to work, partly because I'm not certain what other files I need.
Can anybody point me toward a simple step-by-step for unrooting/removing CWM/returning to stock?
Thanks for your help and patience.
