I have Clockwork mod installed and I am running 4.1.2 JB and I am trying to find out if I can use this to downgrade to 4.1.1 JB. I have never used cwm and I want to put mr.robinsons root injected stock 4.1.1 on my phone. With my ATT s3 I just used odin right from the start to do this and then installed TWRP. On this verizon I used casual to root, unlock bootloader, and install CWM. but now I wish I would have just used odin and Mr. Robinsons method right off the start because I dont know how to get cwm to downgrade to that root injected stock image. Im a noob to the worst degree when it comes to cwm so Ill take the flaming but can someone explain this to me?

If you got the zip rom to be use with cwm then just boot to cwm, select wipe cache, then select advance, then select wipe dalvik cache, then go back to the main page, select install from zip, browse to the zip then flash.

It was a 7z file with a .tar inside it. Can you point me to where I can get the cwm version? Can I just use the file I downloaded and rename it update.zip? That might be a stupid question but I ask anyway. Is there a mr.robinson 4.1.1 root injected stock image that I can use in cwm. Heres the deal. On my ATT if you downgrade to 4.1.1 JB, then you can use that SIM unlock method in the service menu. I searched for hours to find out if you can downgrade verizon to 4.1.1 and do the same thing but I found nothing. on 4.1.2 the menu is there but not all of it and the ATT was the same at 4.1.2, but once I downgraded to 4.1.1 the rest of the menu options were there and I successfully SIM unlocked it. I have found nothing on this for verizon so I figured Ill just downgrade and try it myself. if it doesnt work Im not out anything Ill just use casual again and deal with it.

If you download this file http://androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390210501348163619 and flash with ODin, but it will not wipe your data, relock your bootloader or replace recovery, it only pre-rooted. Unzip and flash with Odin.

With cwm installed, how do I get to the necessary download mode to use Odin? When the phone is booted and running Odin sees the phone but if I try to boot into recovery it only gives clockwork mod and odin doesnt see it.

download rebooter from the market, open and select bootloader mode.
or the old fashion way
power off device, hold down volume down + home button, then press power button until you see message on screen, then hit volume up button, you should be download (Odin) mode.

That's the stock recovery - hold power and hit vol up to get the menu.
I've been doing that, but nothing happens.
I did a battery pull, and it rebooted in 2.3.4
So what am I doing wrong? Do I need to change something before trying the update again?
Hold power and slide from volume down to volume up. But that wont do u any good you need to flash a custom recovery and reflash super user.

Is there a way to do this without losing all my app info/game saves?
I was going to run a TItanium backup.
And sorry, I'm a total noob with this.
ROM Manager, would I flash an older ROM or the ClockworkMod Recovery?
At that point could i just install the update and re root with Shabby Penguin's one click and then get all my app data back from Titanium backup?

Nothing is goofed up if you rebooted into 2.3.4.
The update did not apply. Did you receive the OTA or download it manually?
If you are unlocked just flash CWM via fastboot and apply it from there.
If you are locked then you can go back into the stock recovery, hold power down and hit vol up (in that order) to get the menu and apply the update. You may want to ensure it is in the root of the sdcard and named update.zip.
The OTA does not wipe nor is a wipe necessary, so you shouldn't be losing any data/apps.
I got the update OTA, but not it's not asking me if I want to apply it.
I'm sorry I'm such a noob here, but step wise.
If I boot up with Vol UP, I can then go to Recovery and get to ClockWork Recovery.
From there do I just hit update from SD card?

Yeah, choose apply update. Choose your zip from the SD card and apply.
It will go through a series of asserts and then apply if it passes. If you've modified any of the checked system files, boot image or kernel it's likely going to fail.
Well, I didn't alter any of them on purpose
I used Shabby Penguin's one click root so I could use Titanium Backup only. (Although now I'll probably add tethering to the list) So I don't think I changed any kernel files.
It's saying it can't find the file. Whatever downloaded must have gotten deleted somehow. I may just download the update and do it myself like everyone else.
Just to clarify. I place the update.zip in the root and select apply update on the ClockWorkMod Recovery, and that's it?
I was waiting to just get the update OTA organically hoping it would avoid these problems, lol.

In CWM use the choose zip file from SD card option, then you can pick the file regardless of it's name.
That's it - if you are stock (other than rooting) it should apply without any issues.
You may need to reflash CWM and delete /etc/install-recovery.sh to keep CWM installed. I haven't looked at the update itself to see if it is installing the script to reflash the stock recovery.
I had this problem too. I rebooted and its back to 2.3.4. I will attempt to go to 2.3.5 today once I have more time and post my findings here. If anyone has any success please keep updating this thread.
It looks like I have to reflash CWM in order to restore Super User.
My bootloader is still unlocked, but it won't let me run/install CWM. How do I do this?
Jagar, I did finally figure this out after reading through the code in the rooting .bat that Shabby Penguin put together.
basically his file has the Clockwork Recovery image that you need.
Boot up in bootloader.
then type
fastboot flash recovery ______.img whatever image you have.
Then select RECOVERY on the bootloader menu and now you can install the superuser.zip file to re-root.
you might wanna just run the new one click again, make sure its version 2.0.. it will do teh dirty work for ya
Seriously Shabby, big props to you for automating that process. I learned much more from your code than reading through all those other posts
@gnuf99 although you succeeded in getting root , please do read the guides abt adb and fastboot. This will be always handy for you, indifferent of the device you'll use later.

*REMOVED* Looking on another thread.
I'm running a custom ICS rom with CWM recovery but want to revert to stock so I can sell my Transformer. Is there an easy way to flash back to stock in one step?
You should search the forum for NVFlash...
NVFlash is not necessary to return to stock ICS. Just download official Asus firmware from the asus site and flash it like you would a custom rom. It will return you to stock firmware and recovery.
+1 To above, that's all you need to do.
I might be wrong, but it is said by many that official firmware zip cannot be flashed by cwm recovery until it is repackged for cwm. Wolf just
published a new way to root/unroot/degrade rooted and un-rppted TF:

You can flash the stock firmware from Asus via CWM. It will unroot and restore stock recovery.

Agreed I'm interested in this as well as I'm giving mine to my dad and I don't want to have to worry bout flashing it a lot for him.
Ive just downloaded firmware from asus site put it on sdcadd and in cwm i tried it to flash, but no success update aborted or something similarafter opening update package
Edit: do not forget to unzip the package downloaded from Asud site before flashing!
It worked like a charm. After flashing in cwm it restarts it update apps as after rom update and then you have pop up that firmware update is avaible, the same as with asus ota

i can confirm that this is the proper procedure (because i did it just seconds ago literally)
1. download the firmware from Asus (http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=20&s=16&m=Eee+Pad+Transformer+TF101&os=32)
2. extract the zip in the zip.
3. copy the resulting zip file (the zip in the zip) on the sdcard (or micro sd if you are using roach's 3.2.0.1 like i was)
4. reboot in recovery, that is, shut down, then pwr + vol down until there is a prompt, then vol. up.
5. select apply update from sdcard, select choose zip, navigate to where you placed the zip file on your card
6. Flash it. (and cross fingers, never hurts)
7. normally it will work, then reboot the tablet using the reboot system now function
8. Once its rebooted, it will apply updates to application and a "warning/exclamation" sign will prompt you to install the firmware you just downloaded. install it.
9. once that is done, you will have reverted to stock firmware. leaving your transformer to feel like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eRd923m9go

After this is possible to see if transfomer was rooted or runned a custom rom? Might sound dumb, but i read some time ago (cant find where) about some "not so easy" procedures to return stock for warranty.
i can vouch for my TF being unrooted again. simply open ROM Manager and it should tell you right away that you need to be rooted.
an expert could confirm but im pretty sure that after installing ASUS's firmware all binaries themselves should be stock. after, you always have the option to factory reset the TF and that should clear any possible leftovers.

In step 8, what is the firmware I need to install? Has not the update do the install of the tf101 firmware?
the tf will install the firmware you just install "for real". its the best i can say, i cannot really explain why a real expert could. im just a guy who followed indications
but i know that te TF will detect the firmware you installed in recovery and re-install it for itself and this time it will completely re-stock and un-root your TF.
oh and about re-rooting, if you stocked the TF, you'll need to search the forums here as you'll need to apply the same rooting techniques for an unrooted TF. best way to find out if you don't know is to install rom manager from the market. it'll tell you right away if you are rooted or not.

Hi All,
Problem with TF700 with JB, rooted but not unlocked. I cannot enter into stock recovery: after volDown - volUP I have dead droid with red triangle. I think this my mistake: after was rooted in ICS .26, not unlocked, I tryed to install GooManager - after that I cannot enter to recovery in ICS. After that JB OTA installation was no problem, i backup and restore root, but still not have recovery.
So, now I have root in JB and can you point me to answer, how I can return stock recovery without unlock?
Thank you!

I think what buhohitr was saying is that RCK is a recovery that you can only boot into when there is an update file waiting to be updated on the microSD card. Otherwise, it does nothing but give you that Android with the Red Triangle.
I can confirm this on JB, never tried it while still on ICS.

It seems that the only solution is to unlock and put a custom recovery on . Unfortunately for me I did not unlock for warranty reasons and I updated to .30 and JB OTA and now it seems I have painted myself into a corner since I did not do nvflash or unlock downloads before accepting .30 and JB OTA. It appears ICS stock recovery is gone. Thanks for responses in this and my other thread Tom

No, you're not corner, you can easily downgrade from JB to .30 (download full version from Asus site), root your device, install superSU then save root with Voodoo OTA root keeper, then upgrade to JB through OTA, restore root using Voodoo OTA root keeper and you all set.

The process in summary:
1. Use asus unlock tool to unlock - just run the tool and follow the on screen direction, very simple.
2. Since you are rooted, download and install "goomanager" from the market to install custom recover TWRP-again open the app, tab on the 3boxex upper right hand corner and choose "Install OpenReoveryScript"- it will install TWRP automaticaly.
3. Boot into TWrP (hold down volume down and power button until see white text on the screen, let go both buttons, now hit the volume button twice to access recovery mode, choose 'install', browse to Cleanrom zip file then flash it.
That's it.

CWM is just as good of use for installing cleanrom
Twrp is much easier to install

While you have root, do a full backup, once you flashed cleanrom, you have root back (cleanrom is prerooted), so you don't have to worry about keeping root.
As we wait for the JB update in US, I was wondering if there's a proven method to keep root on note 10.1?

I updated via Keis (bad mistake!) and lost my root. Even worse, I lost the ability to boot into cmd -- every time I do the Control + power routine I get booted into Android Recovery. Without the ability to get my tablet into download mode, I can't connect with Odin.
Please help --
Either........ is there another way to boot into download mode?
Or........... is there a way to install cmd on my tablet without using odin?
Please....... I am not new to rooting but I need a bit of detailed description. I'm very afraid of bricking my lovely tablet.
thanks,
Barb
Volume down+power button will get you into download mode volume up+power will get you into recovery

Thanks for the response -- however the process you describe does not work after this Kies upgrade. Volume down + power does not get me into download mode -- instead I get stuck in the Android system recovery (3e). (Same with the volume up+power.)
My only options in this Android sytem recovery are to:
reboot
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
I am wondering -- what if I were to place the clockword mod recovery zip file on my sd card and then use "apply update from external storage", or simply reboot.
Any thoughts or suggestions? I was also told I might be able to get into download mode through adb.
Thanks again for dialogue.

No chance... Stock recovery needs the zip files to have samsung approval, not only that but it won't allow a different region rom to be flashed either.... Looks like you screwed the pooch on this little puppy...

So just to clarify, you are saying that it doesn't matter whether I can get into download mode or not (which I was able to do, with ADB), because ANY clockwork mod recovery file that I find will be unloadable (because it won't "play" with stock recovery)? Is that correct?
Don't want to sound argumentative, but does that mean that anyone who upgrades their firmware via "official Samsung" will be unable to root in the future? That's not too cool.
But if so, I can live with it.
Again, I appreciate your time.

I know with the S3 there is a root tool that allows rooting via ADB but I don't believe this has been developed for the Note 10.1 as yet. Everything is done via ODIN... Unless you wish to try the 1st method from this thread to get root access - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831152 - then install a version of CWM manually...
Stock root is very picky about what it will or wont flash.... Even if you have a stock rom, if the CSC oodes, region, doesn't match it will error out...

No........ that's the goofy part of it. I had an upgrade waiting for me (under "settings, upgrade" and so I stupidly assumed it was the official jellybean. Wrong, wrong! I was simply upgraded to 4.0.4. I can't see any noticeable changes, except for the Android Recovery system having booted out my Clockwork recovery (and the root, of course.)
I've decided to wait a week or so until I get the official jellybean and then decide what to do.
It will also have given you a new template in s-notes - landscape and the scroll bar... It will also have given you the ability to use an exFAT formatted sd card... There were a few other tweaks but not too much...
