Updating Bootloader ... Don't Want a Brick ... Please Help - Asus Transformer TF700

Hey guys,
I have a Transformer Infinity (TF700T) and it was flashed to CleanROM and I want to upgrade the bootloader. The problem is that I cannot tell what SKU I have as the ROM has overwritten the code that was there before.
Is there another way to tell what SKU I have?

I am already trying to help you in the Q&A section of the forum, which is the appropriate place for it. This is the development forum and your thread here does not have anything to do with development. Double posting is frowned upon, my friend. And you may want to read the posting rules again.

[Q] is recoveryblob 9.4.3.17 (WW version) for TF300T

I have a question, which mayb already has been asked & answered, but i just can't find it..
I'm on an Asus TF300T, and i need a recoveryblob 9.4.3.17 - the WW version (since i'm in NL), but its just nowhere to be found..
Somebody knows if this blob available somewhere ??
(or someone who got this on disk, or can extract it from a TF300T that isn't updated)
Any help is appreciated! Thx

Woops, this post ended up in the general section, and should go in Q&A! Sorry for that!!
Did your device ship with the .17 update or did it come with .26?
It came with .17, but stupid me upgraded as soon it asked for it...
So, i think some should be able to extract the BLOB memoryblock from an original (non-upgraded) WW device..
Fellow dutchie here, is there anything I can do with an updated rooted tablet running .26? (aside from trading my tablet, lol).

Well, unless you made a backup of .17 before the upgrade to .26, i don't think you can help
Don't screw up your install, you can't reflash it to root at the moment
(Except for .17 US)
Sorry man, no backup
Good luck anyhow.
Looks like this is the dutch forum.
I updated to .26 as well just as you.
Not knowing I would probably be better of staying at .17 and then get it rooted.
Oh well, it's just a matter a of time I guess.
I don't suppose anyone still has the .17 blob file that can upload/share it? Been searching for days without any luck.
Hi guys,
I'm fairly new with all the rooting stuff, as I never had any reason to do so. However, since some games (where's my water for example) save their save data in the /data/ folder, I need root.
I was actually about to downgrade my tablet using these steps, but since I apparently run a WW build according to my settings app, I understand I have to wait? Or is there only a specific reason not to use a US version (i.e. localization issues)?
However, a friend is maybe going to buy a TF300 and is probably going to root it, so if he buys it I will check the firmware version and see if I can extract it. Its the least I can do after all the years xda helped me with my smartphones.
Me too Dutch
no .17 ww file found. please upload one!!
i am on .17 us rooted but can not receive the OTA .26 update.
ww 9.4.3.17 blob file needed
I've got my 300t about 1,5 week ago and was so stupid to upgrade to .26.
I need .17 ww version also.
Please upload!
Thanks
Marco
We need someone with an unrooted .17 bought in Europe, except DE..
The process of extracting the firmware is fairly simple...

Well, i can't remember the localization issues i found, but i know i found them..
More important, it doesn't seem to get any updates, so you stay on .17 when you're in europe..

You won't receive WW OTA updates when you are on a US firmware...

I'll holding off rooting as I might need this file in future as well.
I can use a little of ADB

unlock, root, the noobest noob question.

Hello everyone, just to start, i'm sorry if this has been asked too many times, but i've been wandering all over the forum and cant find what i need.
(i'm kinda lost using forums)
I have a brand new TF300TL wich is sim locked for certain company, but on my country, this company does not exists. So i need to unlock this pad in order to use it with my provider.
I'¡ve been reading some things and i found here wich seem to be instructions to root the device.
As there is no step by step instructions, i'm quite lost.
I understand that in order to root my pad i need to have it connected to my computer right?... But... ¿How do i connect it? I only have the pad, no docking and this pad has no port, only the docking port, not an USB.
¿Is there another way to root this device without connecting it to a desktop computer?
¿Is there another way to sim unlock this device without rooting or connecting to a desktop computer?​
The pad is running ICS (4.0.3)
Thanks for your time and patience.
You use the charging cable. Connect the USB of the charging cable to your computer and place the charging cable in your tablet as you normally would

OK!, thanks didn't notice that...
Now, how do i know that the device is ready to root? I downloaded the unlock device apk, it did some work, it rebooted and then it said device is now unlocked.
Is that the unlock i have to do before rooting?
Anything else needed?
Sorry to keep bothering, but i still cant find a step by step and dont want to mess it up.

The above should help if you're on JB. I think you need to install a custom recovery next (TWRP might be better) but I haven't rooted or unlocked my device yet so I'm not completely sure of the process

Go to the transformer general section top of page. Use krapple2548 method. Very easy took about 15 min.
Ok, new issue.
Went to ASUS website and found firmware, but it says only for WW or TW SKU.
In build number, i have none TW or WW, mine says US
¿What now? ¿Which to choose?
¿Noone?

Can you give more details about your device? When you go to "settings" what Android version does it say?
TW SKU = firmware for Taiwan, I believe. WW is worldwide. US is obviously US.
The link to the firmware download page is here. Keep in mind if you upgrade to Android 4.1 (jelly bean) it will lock the bootloader and you will NOT be able to re-unlock it, root it, or customize it further. If you want to be able to revert back to an ICS bootloader you'll need to create NVFlash files.
I hope this helps. I'm not an expert so take everything I say with a grain of salt

That link is dead, no OS chosing option enabled.
EDIT OK, now the link is not dead, anyway, as i said before, there is no SKU for my tablet wich is US while the page has only WW and TW.

Rooting - if you are on ICS, yes you can root without unlocking. If on jb, no.
Recovery - you must unlock no matter what you're running.

Have you already tried the debugfs method for rooting? Search for that in the Dev section. I don't have a tl so cannot confirm. I see what you're saying about the Asus site. If you want to be adventurous try installing the ww. Strange they put out a us build with no matching firmware. I have heard of others installing different SKU builds without unlocking but again can't confirm with this model.

Even though "Miss congeniality" already left the building:
Yes the debugfs rooting works.
Yes there is a JB 4.1 US ROM up now.
The original poster didn't really grasp the difference between bootloader unlocking, rooting, and SIM unlocking.

[Q] Help needed upgrading my tf300

Hi Guys, thank you very much for this great forum and info. Un fortunately i can't get my asus tf300 upgraded.
I have [email protected]_V02 installed, actually i got this tablet pre installed with this firmware, but i run in some problems which i hope are solved when returning to the latest stock firmware or the latest [email protected] firmware.
I read on the forum that i need to upgrade the bootloader etc and i didn;t dare doing that without asking first what i have to do.
So i hope someone can help me upgrade to the latest android version on my tf300. I have android 4.1.1. running on my tablet at the moment
many thanks in advance.

Version 4.1.1is the latest stock version there is. Check your build number. V10.4.2.20 is the latest build from Asus for most regions. If you're not running that version, you might get prompted to install its ota once you connect to the internet, or you can download it from their website.

I don't think they made 4.1.1 for the Memo pad did they?
You can just downgrade a few versions of JB from the ASUS website then use motochopper to root and then upgrade using voodoo OTA rootkeeper.

Tf300t = me301t?

Just picked up a 10" ME301T. Looking to put a custom ROM on, and don't see a dedicated forum. Can I use TF300T ROMs/BLs/etc, or are they incompatible? I see a few ROMs in here with 301T in the description, but don't know where I should go to root/install BL, and if I need a ROM built specifically for the 301T.
Thanks!

Good god I hope someone answers this soon. On Asus website there isn't even a dedicated page for a tablet with the model number ME301T either.
