Database Info

So I just picked up an Asus EEE Transformer..

Running Android ICS 4.0.3 and Build Number IMLL74K.US_epad-9.2.1.21-20120413
Every method of rooting I find has nothing to do with ICS, could someone help me on my marry way, I would really appreciate it. I just want to do a basic root, so that I can maybe change the kernal and pep up the CPU a bit.
Help would be rewarded :-D

ViperMod in the Prime form works for all but the latest firmware otherwise you have to downgrade first
And for future reference search first and questions go in Q&A not themes and apps

Sorry about posting in the wrong forum, I should know better, but I have tried downgrading and it does not work, it seems like once you are on 4.0.3 you are stuck. I just tried this method right here and got nowhere, it says nothing about an update being available...

Thanks and I did thank you, I am trying this now, I am guessing I want ICS .11, since that one is still rootable. I am trying it now, I cant believe I got this it was already on 4.03. Why do people upgrade just to upgrade... jerks.
I will let you know how this goes.

I think .17 is rootable with ViperMod also or you could just do Wolf's method 3 which let you install the recovery blob via abd and flashing the su afterward with cwm

Yeah, I actually went with the .11 Blog backup, and then rooted it without any problem at all, now just what to do, what to do... I do appreciate everyone who helped out, thanks much.

[Q] Unexperienced but wanting to root.

Hi XDA Devolopers,
I can imagine this thread comming by daily. I've tried to search for it, but all I get is something that, to me is, "Hocus pocus". Clearly I am probably one of the least technical people found on this forum, but still I've got a question, and it'd be awesome if you could help me.
As I said: I am unknown with the whole Rooting thing. I have no idea where to begin. All I have done so far is making my decision on which ROM i'd like to use. Which is the JB 4.1.1 AOSP build #6.0.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779133)
I've downloaded all the files, but I have not a clue what to do with that. I've read that you must first unlock and/or root an android device, make a backup and then flash and install the ROM.
Where do I start with this? What program do I use to Root my tablet and how do I go on from there?
Thank you guys so much in advance! It really looks like an awesome community, and I really don't want to mess with that, but help would be greatly appreciated.

search for PERI tool to root and install recovery, then flash the ROM u want through recovery.

Do like catfishbilly say and use PERI.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681155
Just read read and read, don't rush. good luck.

PERI is the way to go, although everything needs a lot of reading, I was only reading threads for close to a month before rooting and installing ROMs.
Good luck.

I am a NOOB, Can anyone willing to writing a guide of how to install custom ROM?

I am a NOOB and I know nothing about how to unlock/ROOT the device
I really want to install the CleanROM but the installation guide is too simple
Can someone tell me how to do this step by step? with picture/youtube?
I know unlocking the device will loose my WARRANTY
So, I don't really want to brick my TF700 due to my noobness..........
Thank you X1000000000000000

You didn't even look in the Development section before you made this thread or did you (aside from the CleanROM thread)?
Hint: take a look at the pinned/sticky threads.

Check this link out. If you already on JB the latest version, then you just skip section 1 and start with section 2.

Wrong forum and there are already stickies explaining how to do what you asked. Look and you will find.

We're all on the wrong track here: the OP said the guide was too simple already -- we therefore should set ourselves to the task of making more complicated. Knowing both myself and the rest of you, this should come rather naturally, so what's taking you so long? MAKE IT HARD ALREADY!
J/K -- read the stickies. In my opinion, if you can't do it with all the info provided --which is more than enough --then read and learn a LOT more on the basics of Android before you even attempt this (suggested topic would include at least recoveries, bootloaders, nandroid backups, and, obviously, rooting). You run a significant chance to end up with an expensive paperweight if you don't. If you do not feel comfortable yet, play around with your 700 for a bit, try rooting next (little harm done, little risk involved) and then move on to the heavier stuff.

I thought I was somewhat tech savvy ... not troo however!
In order to flash a ROM which comes as second nature to most Androidians I was at a total loss initially.
Yet with concentration, YouTube, XDA, Google Play and a slowdown of tipping the wineglass I was able to crawl from the sandpit.
This has all lead to a new mountain to climb.
There's a few things I find tough like fastboot for instance and that pesky Titanium Fup , yet I'll absorb those eventually.
Dealing with Android and it's many options has definitely been a reading experience.
Good luck to all who dive in!

No doubt noobwow is struggling to find his thread now since it has been moved. :silly:
Let's hope he makes his way into this forum and recognises it.

Probably not until we've had another few days of poking fun at some innocent newbie for a bit. Poor guy still hasn't solved his problem, probably.

ar.............
I found my post!
I just had problem on the "pre-requise" in the installation guide
I have already had JB on my TF700 and I knew I can just start from session 2
but I would appreciate if someone can teach me how to unlock and get the custom recovery
I know unlock tool can be downloaded from ASUS website
But what bother me is the custom recovery
:fingers-crossed:

go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795156 to download the unlock apk tool (use second link). Launch the app and just follow the on screen direction, that's it. NOTE: currently Asus is having issue with their server, so the tool will failed. You just keep trying until it works. Once your device is unlock just follow the link and continue with section 2. Remember, after you install custom recovery (TWRP), you just boot into recovery and flash the Cleanrom. Cleanrom already rooted so you don't have to root your device.

Heck if did the ROM flash I'm pretty sure most anyone could figure out how to do it.
Linux\Android is a whole different animal to me so I've been studying...even bought a book about it

I urge you not to rely too much on the guide that was posted, the razorclaw method no longer works.
I have a rooting guide here that is quite in depth and should get you going so long as you do not have a TF101G.

@baseballfanz - I hope you are sitting down.
I asked again for it to be unstuck, and they finally unstuck it! I know we have both reported it at least once in the past, I guess enough squeaking and the wheel will get greased!

If you guys run into something like this, let me know. I am still around this section a bunch and use my TF daily.
@zak_2099 I suggest using EasyFlasher. Mine is a B70 as well, (is an SBK1) but once Wheelie was introduced, it didn't matter if SBK1 or SBK2. If you need any of the files that won't download for some reason, just let me know and I can upload them this weekend.
@baseballfanz Nice to see you around again. Been a long time. Hope all things are well with you.

Rom wan't boot
Hi all.
Relly i wanted to ask this in development forum, but I can't to some posting restrictiions for new registered users. So i'll write here, may be someone have a solution.
I flashed No-name CM10.2 nightliy on my tf101g, but it wan't boot, just showing me asus splash and stops. I used ROM from this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2402752
Why can be like that? CM10.1 also from NoName running now ok, but 10.2 just wan't boot at all. So i tried some erlyer builds and got the same result. Flashing process finished without any errors.
And also, there is no builds about a month, why and where I can get them? Should I build it from git repo?
Thanks.

Yes, but it's a much better idea to learn how to do it manually. That way, you have a much better knowledge base.
When things inevitably go wrong, you will understand the process and know how to fix it.
Toolkits serve a purpose, but they breed laziness and you don't learn anything. You'll be back here posting "OMG, I brocked my phone, what do I do".
Read the stickies, learn what you're doing, then do it properly.

Please use the QUESTION and ANSWER section to ask QUESTIONS you want ANSWERED
Thread moved

Like others, I must advise against using toolkits. If something were to happen and your phone gets screwed up, you will have no idea how to fix it and surely XDA will see yet another "ZOMG such and such toolkit bricked my phone please helpppp!!!" thread. Doing stuff manually isn't nearly as difficult as it seems, and the knowledge you gain is indispensable. Try it, OP. You might surprise yourself with how easy it truly is.
