Hello. I am sick from school today and decided to make a thread to help out some people.
DOWNLOADS ARE BELOW(AT THE BOTTOM!!!)
All of these steps are posted on TheUnlockr.com in a Video but The video is for the GSM version. The difference is just the recovery image. (http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how-to-root-your-htc-hero-in-one-click/)
Ok lets get started.
This method works on all Sprint phones with updates. I am not sure how long this will last unpatched.
First YOU HAVE TO HAVE ADB WORKING!!!
Download my zip file if you do not want to download the entire SDK.
1)After it is downloaded, extract the files to C:\Windows\System32\
(you can copy and past the file-path)
2) Now pickup your phone and go into Settings-Applications and Enable Unknown Sources then from there go into Development and make sure that USB Debugging is enabled.
3) Now connect your phone to your computer and open up command prompt (Start-Run(or search) cmd.exe.
4)When it is open type: ADB Devices.
You should see your'r phone's serial.
Now download flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2.apk (the download is below)
1) Copy the file to your sdcard.
2) Download any File Manager from the android market.
3) Go to your Sdcard in the file manager app on your phone.
4) Press flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2.apk
Let it install.
5) When it is complete, go to your apps drawer and open the Recovery Flasher app.
My method requires you to have a recovery image before root.
6) In the recovery flasher app, Press Backup Recovery Image
7) Let it work. You may have to try twice for Success.
8) Now Mount your phone back on the computer and replace the recovery-backup.img with the recovery-backup.img on this thread(MAJOR thanx to Amon_RA)
9) Now unmount your phone and go back into the Recovery Flasher app on your phone.
10) Now press restore and let it flash recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img(Amon_RA's Sprint custom recovery image)
YOU NOW HAVE A CUSTOM RECOVERY IMAGE!!! WOOT WOOT
the work is still not done.
Download the Superuser.zip(http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=211569&d=1249225060 or in the downloads below) and extract it to your Sdcard
Now go into your new recovery image (power off the phone and then power it on by holding the Power and Home buttons)
Connect your phone to a computer and run command prompt.
IN COMMAND PROMPT TYPE:
Code:
adb shell
mount /sdcard
mount /system
cp /sdcard/su /system/bin/
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
cp /sdcard/Superuser.apk /system/app/
reboot
(you can copy and past the code into command prompt from the thread)
Download the Better Terminal Emulator app from the market and type:
Code:
$ su
if you get a
Code:
#
then...YOU NOW HAVE ROOT!!
now you can install custom ROMs and root-required apps

I had a couple problems so i unrooted then rerooted then i kept trying to flash recovery 1.6.2 but it kept comming up with file not found on the sdcard so i put the file in the tools folder and used android commander. It came up with 2 # then the screen went blank and it sat there so after a few minutes i did a battery pull and now i cant boot into recovery. It just sits at the boot screen.

how long has it sat there? sometimes you have to give it a few minutes after going thru all that.
By the way if i dont try to boot into recovery it loads fine how can i reload the reocvery?
Probably 5 minutes and no go
How were you loading it in the first place? Have you checked to see if its on your card? When pushing the image, are you using the exact image name, i.e, v1.6.2-(color).img.? Also, are you holding the end-home keys at the same time long enough to see it come up?
when i first was trying i opened the terminal i had on the phone and typed flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-1.6.2.img and it kept comming up with bad filename(wwhich i had renamed the file to that so i dont know why) then i put it in the tools folder and tried the same from commander and it got me to here ;\
What method are you using? Try amon ras or the method used to push it to your card thru root.
havent heard of amon ras.....i just pushed it to the sdcard again and tried the same command and end up with the same thing iam trying to unroot again
nope came up with bootloader error for the unroot
tried using kitchen to reroot but it comes up with errors
Okay, these are Amon RAs methods just depending on what your using:
Install
There are several ways to install a custom recovery, choose the one that suits you most (I probably forgot a few).
via adb -> Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys)
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/...
adb shell
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.imgvia fastboot + adb -> In case you don't have a custom recovery, so when you get signature fail errors
Code:
adb shell reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img
adb shell reboot
Or thru adb try this:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
adb shell
adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v<name>/sdcard
adb shell reboot
adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img /sdcard
Pushing is equivalent of copy the file to the root of your sdcard. By the time you finished reading this it should be done. You'll know its done because the ouput will say something like transferred X bytes in X secs.
adb shell reboot
This will cause the phone to restart automatically. Wait till it is fully booted to continue.
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/
flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img
FLASHING TO THE RECOVERY TAKES SEVERAL SECONDS-- BE PATIENT. ENTER THE NEXT COMMAND ONLY AFTER THE COMMAND PROMPT RETURNS TO THE # (ROOT SYMBOL).
reboot recovery
This was complements of theresthatguy's method. Hope this helps.
to tell you the truth 1.6.2 is basically the same as 1.5.2 the only diff is the power off option and the carebear color so if you have 1.5.2 you should just keep it since you are having trouble installing it

I had 1.2.3 or whatever it was thats why i was gonna just shoot to 1.6.2 i had done it before but i dont know what happened this time. I tried the way thru adb and it has been sitting so far 10 minutes and it is still sitting at the boot screen
The first one wont work i cant get into recovery.....the second one i get "fastboot is not recognized as a internal command"and the third is the one i have been trying....
im not sure man i had trouble flashing it also try renameing it to something simple like 1.6.2.img and go to better terminal emulator type in su enter than type in the comands to flash it
flash_image /sdcard/1.6.2.img enter
do not enter mount-a before this this was the problem i was having after you hit enter just type in reboot recovery and you should have 1.6.2 also maKE sure this file is the only file on your sd card that helps good luck man let me know what happens
yeah i renamed it to recovery-1.6.2.img and i just downloaded better terminal but how do you get the keyboard up?
just tap the screen
do you have g talk

This is what worked for me.
The 1.6.2 version did exactly to me like it is doing to you. I couldn't boot in to the recovery screen.
Sooo. I pushed the 1.5.2 image to the sdcard and then I
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img
I was then able to boot into the 1.5.2 recovery
I then pushed the 1.6.2 image again and then it worked.
Alright so I put twrp recovery image on the root of my sd ... I open terminal type
Su
Cd sdcard
Flash_image recovery recoveryname(Der the name of it).img
And it says command not found

If you want to do it from terminal emulator on android, say name of recovery is twrp.img and is on root of sd....
Open terminal emulator
Type - su
Allow superuser permission,
Type -
dd if=sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
It will push, then do it again for good measure-
dd if=sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
Now power off, boot to bootloader and select recovery
as long as your rooted w. Bootloader unlocked you will have twrp recovery installed
Hi All,
I wanted to change the stock ROM on my tf700t so I downgraded to V10.6.1.14.8 from V10.6.1.14.10 installed unlocker and installed GooManager. Now when GooManager went to InstallOpenRecovery Script it got stuck on the 'download has started' screen. I looked for alternative options and found out that you could install via the ADT/SDK options using latest twrp.blob file. So I went to the twrp site and got latest blob file but rather stupidly they list the oldest at the top and the newest at the bottom?. So I ended up installing the 2.1.1 version using adb terminal via these instructions:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
Then reboot to complete installation.
Now I did this but I didn't put the Roms that I wanted into the default SD Card first and this version of TWRP doesn't support microSD or ADB Sideload. It now just keeps rebooting into TWRP and when I connect to PC in TWRP the PC just recognizes the driver as Transformer but none of the ASUS drivers work. I have no idea where to go from here, backup doesn't seem to work....?
I've been looking around but seems perhaps I've hit a unique issue.
Any help on how I can progress from here to get the latest version of TWRP or indeed any decent ROM - I was originally going for cm-10.2-20131112-NIGHTLY-tf700t.zip and googleapps.
Help would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Kavster
also worth mentioning i did a wipe data via the switch on with volume down and the 3rd icon of wipe as I was following this guide - cannot get boot recovery now just boots into TWRP...
android.sc/update-asus-transformer-pad-tf700t-to-cm-10-2-android-4-3-jelly-bean-rom
am I screwed..???

This option causes the bootloader to force starting the recovery until the wipe is done. The problem: The ancient recovery that you flashed cannot access the eMMC due to bootloader incompatibilities.
So your only chance to unbrick now is to get adb shell access working, then try "adb reboot bootloader" and see if you can get back to the bootloader menu. Then choose Android and run the following in Terminal or via adb shell:
Code:
su
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=32 count=1
The problem is that the TF700T is only recognized just as 'transformer' in Windows 7 device manager and I don't have a driver that will allow me to see the device via adb. Any ideas on how I can get the right driver so that I can see it again in the adb devices:
C:\Users\Kavster\Documents\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20131030\sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
C:\Users\Kavster\Documents\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20131030\sdk\platform-tools>
Then I can the adb shell.....
Thanks.

Yes the Naked Drivers worked and device is now recognised. But it wont boot back into bootloader using the "adb reboot bootloader". It reboots but goes back to TWRP so how can I rebuild the bootloader from here.? Can I also install new version of TWRP..??

Hmmm, OK, try this:
Download and extract this to your computer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1985941&d=1369339132
then run:
Code:
adb push bootit.ko /
adb shell insmod /bootit.ko
If you are lucky, this reboots into the bootloader menu from which you can use fastboot to flash a working recovery. At least it helped this user: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291974

I'd use fastboot to flash a proper version of TWRP now.
OK So clicking Android has taken me back to 4.2.1. Think I'll do some more reading before messing about with it again - Thanks for all your help - Much Appreciated !!!!!
Trying to get back to the latest TWRP I have renamed openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-tf700t.blob to twrp.blob I then put it in /sdcard root copied it over and ran the following:

You have to clean the misc partition (mmcblk0p3) before the bootloader will cooperate again, see my previous answer.

Meaning he has to flash TWRP in fastboot not in adb shell - correct?
If yes - how is it different?
So I did the following - copied openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-tf700t.blob to twrp.blob and then put it in same directory as fastboot.exe but still same issue after reboot - still on twrp 2.2.1:
C:\Users\Kavster\Documents\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20131030\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
sending 'recovery' (6106 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.605s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.482s]
finished. total time: 4.087s
C:\Users\Kavster\Documents\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20131030\sdk\platform-tools>
Surely that should of worked..?

In theory, yes. However, when asking the bootloader for supported partitions (fastboot getvar all), "misc" is not among them, so I don't know if it really works.
Latest CyanogenMod all installed and looking good....

hi friend.I have this problem too but my phone is samsung i9001.as you said,I downloaded the file and extracted it and then conected my phone to the pc and went to this path {start*accessories*command prompt} and entered the command "adb push bootit.ko" ,but responsed " adb is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" . I m too unhappy now,because my phone just boot to TWRP and like Kavster I have used TWRP 2.2.1 without adb sideload option.please help to rescue my phone.tanks dear friend
I keep getting conflicting information on this device.
Can it be rooted on Nougat? Is a root being developed? Or has the G5 been abandoned?
I too am waiting to hear.

You can use the dirtycow exploit. This doesn't really root your phone, it allows you to flash twrp and boot you into twrp so you can flash supersu
Dirtycow worked for me on Nougat 7.0, It will run like charm if u do ur steps correctly (Dnt forget to unlock fastboot oem) I was getting an error cuz or that 😂Rookie mistake.

Here's a link to a new way to root the G5. I used the dirty cow exploit, that worked for me, it was pretty easy.
An alternate method that worked great for my h830 was to LGUP the twrped 10D tot, then use that TWRP to flash autoprime's 20A Nougat zip. After booting up once into unrooted 20A, i powered off and did factory reset (volume down with power button released for just a second at the LG logo) and entered TWRP to flash the latest SuperSU zip. Upon reboot into 20A, it maintained root and has been withstanding my assaults on system apps for about a week now.
=>>update: still rooted and TWRPd, flashed the NSS kernel, almost a month later and no problems!

Thanks. I had found it, and it worked. Kinda. I have twrp installed, and I'm assuming root, but there's nothing there. Through file explorer and terminal everything is gone. Including external sd I loaded RR on with a working phone. Not good. Idk where to even go from here
Edit; Can read external sd and install packages, but "reboot system" just takes me back into TWRP. The install seems to go well (result was [1.00000]) and system is no longer blank. But can't boot into it. A little closer tho
Edit 2: If you get stuck in a boot loop to TWRP, use these commands (provided by @z28james):
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/misc
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc/624000.ufshc/by-name/fota
All good now!
Looks like I can't delete my reply. I had a problem after rooting and I had either misread the instructions to get into recovery or they were typed wrong where I was looking. I finally found a site that gave the correct procedure: vol down+power then at LG screen release power while still holding vol down then hold power again with vol down. I was able to flash a rom at that point.
could you give me a hand if i pm you?
edit: replied in wrong thread. sorry
