Rooting my tablet on latest firmware WW 10.4.2.18

HI
Iv finally desided to do something about my slow-ass stock TF300T. I have been reading a thread by some guy asking the same question except that he has 10.4.2.18. Can i do the same thing that is said in that post? If not, any tips?
Post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029364
EDIT, been reading that i cant follow that post because im using the WW and not US... Any tuts for WW version?
EDIT 2, i have been reading a tutorial that shows how to switch from WW to US, but its not explained easily enough for me to understand, as im fairly new to this

The process is exactly the same since you are already on stock JB. Just follow the guide and if you get stuck just ask.

Nice! I'm glad it worked for you. Enjoy your new tablet!

I want to root using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845377
"Extract the recovery with fastboot files zip and open a command prompt in the same folder of the adb and fastboot files (Shift + Right mouse)"
if i press Shift + right mouse in the folder I don't get a command prompt. Do I need to select both files and the run as administrator? I don't get the command promt option.
I am running Windows 8
EDIT: Shift key don't do anything..

Can you please share your stock build.prop file? Important for me

When you have your fastboot folder open press shift and then right click. One of the options in the menu should be "open command window here". That should do it unless Windows 8 has changed this.

TF300T UK Model Build 10.4.2.18
I apologise if help is on another thread which I could not find.
I cannot find on any other forum a hard and fast answer.
My TF300T is a UK model.
It has arrived with Build 10.4.2.18 already installed.
I want to root it and install a custom ROM. Like many others I want to remover some of the pre-installed apps such as Chrome.
I've rooted 4 HTC phones with no problem but I just cannot find a hard and fast post with instructions to rid this 10.4.2.18 of its factory installed ROM.
I have unlocked the device using the ASUS website.
I appreciate your feedback.
Regards

easy
just dl this file
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf300t/openrecovery-twrp-2.2.2.0-tf300t-JB.blob
TWRP Recovery for JB Bootloader. Its an older Versions which runs without any problems. The 2.3 or CWM are giving many problems to many User, so i recommend the 2.2
Take a look here
http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/97
on how to installe via adb or fastboot.
After that you can just go into TWRP recovery with turning on while Power and Vol- pressed at the same time
Than switch to RCK with Vol- and choose it with Vol+.
Once in Recovery you can install all JB Bootloader compatible Roms like you are used to

Thanks So far the performance is just so much better (especially surfing using Chrome and playing games), but performance mode can make my tablet crash (i installed the Infinitys 1.8Ghz kernel so normal i guess?), especially when doing heavy stuff like benchmarking.

With the tablet in cwm connect and look in device manager. You need to find the driver for the android device that now has a question mark next to it.. I used the infinity root driver set found on xda.

The other things I'm noticing are...
1. You are in sideload mode when trying to push the rom.
2. There is a space between the filename and .zip (this is ok if that is the actual name of the file, can you copy and paste the filename or a screenshot of the file?)
When you push the file you should be on the main recovery screen not sideload.
Paging @Heisenberg you know more about Bacon then I do ...am I even in the ballpark with my advice?

Your best option is probably to just use fastboot to flash the stock images to your phone, have a look at section 8 of my guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2839471
@BD619, your advice is good! I personally just prefer to use the stock images over using sideload.

I was an HTC guy until I got this phone, I'll never go back now, too much screwing around needed to get an HTC unlocked.

Can all of this be done on a Mac using these folders? Where there is an .exe file in a folder, is there a Mac equivalent?

You can still use adb and fastboot on a Mac. Just Google search for a guide on how to install it on a Mac.

First, you posted in the wrong section! This section is for development projects.
Also, have you installed a different version of CM12s? The zip is not flashing because it sees a modification to the firmware you're running, or it's a bad download .

Here try this, flash cyangen's recovery and try updating again. I don't know if that will do anything but it's worth a try!

It was told a zillion times. Either cyanogen recovery or download the full rom update instead of the delta OTA (full can be flashed via TWRP).

Look around the oneplus forums, I had the same problem. I managed to find the file and flash it with twrp without having to do the whole rom. The battery got better along with touch screen fixes

It turns out a permissive Kernel helps with the Storage Problems. I will edit the Guide later with a Link

Nice guide brother, this works also on xperia 1 i think ?
Sorry for my guide, i have no time to update it anymore so thats why its kinda outdated and i found those files on a chinese site in my guide so i shared it only

Xperia
This method has problem if 55.1.A.3.149 is flashed. The "Start" screen freeze with no touchscreen function on reboot after the procedures completed.

Same Steps, different Files like You can imagine. I made two Folders on Google Drive to keep them seperated. :angel:
I was wondering if we can use the TWRP Installer Zips from like for example the Pixel 2 XL which is almost the same as what we flash actually. Our TWRP is actually from a One Plus 2 or so, while using an old Lazy Flasher with old Magisk Boot File. While the newer TWRP Installers are using a Magisk kind of Installer to do the Ramdisk changes. Only thing i wonder is if the included ramdisk cpio is Device specific or a general thing which shares between different devices!? I'm really about to just try a flash on risk but i would like to here if You know that...

@MartinX3 can hopefully look at this

The ramdisk also contains device specific files
I put the twrp 1/5 on my to-do list

We found together @Pandemic just asked @MartinX3 some Hours ago if he can invite us to the Xperia TWRP Family on his XZ2 Thread, and You mentition him over to this Thread. Funny
It's really no fun actually to recover my Xperia after Bootloops with Fastboot instead of TWRP. Really throw my Hat in the air once we get a working Recovery. If i can help in any way, let Me know Martin!
Wish You a good Start in the coming Week Guys! :fingers-crossed:

I honestly cant wait to see what lineage looks like on the Xperia 5. The stock UI is good but it feels out of place compared to my other Xperia phones

Does this require unlocked bootloader?

TWRP freezes when i try step 18, until i hard reboot. I also can't mount the storage to put the zips on my phone. Don't know what else to do. Also my touchscreen has stopped working in android, but still works on twrp.

Please try : "fastboot flash boot_a ..." instead of just "fastboot flash boot ..." and repeat with "fastboot flash boot_b ...". This will flash the Recovery to both booth Slots. after that do "fastboot -w" which will format Your Device. Reboot into the Recovery and repeat Step 18 if possible. Would be nice to hear from You again!
Edit: You need to pass Step 18 to use Your Storage. After flashing the Zips will Your System start to work normally again. (Touch and everything else)

VIdeo Guides coming this Weekend! Stay tuned!

Thank you for the advice! I actually got my phone working with (just) magisk with your other tutorial, that also had the a and b slots. I'll edit it to see if this works too!
Also thank you for supporting a lesser known phone!

I've tried your new steps, but the phone still freezes when formatting it. Am I doing something stupid?
