Guys,
Whats easiest way to root and install clockworkmod for custom roms?
Any other suggestions, welcomed to prevent bricks
[email protected]
Use the nvflash method its one step and will install clockwork recovery as well as a rom of your choice
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
extremely easy, takes like 5 minutes.
Hi!
Any one click root options with the NVFLASH? Any links to this app?
1) Would z4root work?
2) Any zip i can simply load and update using the recovery mode of Asus to install clockworkmod?
Thanks!

NVFlash is one click from the start.

Just download a .tar.bz2 (some are outdated) then download a ROM and flash it on top. Depending what you flash, you might want to wipe.
Hey,
- Whats to do with .tar.bz2 ?
- How do I flash the NVFLASH?
- If I dont want WIPE? I just want root the stock ROM and put kernel which supports OC without wipe it? Since it comes with custom language packs and support for locals.
Thanks!

.tar.bz2: use winrar to extract it. Cut all the files and paste it into the root of /nvflash/ (you do this to make NVFlash flash it)
-Watch the video on the NVFlash thread that I linked.
-If you want to use the stock ROM. Then you have to find that thread that lets you root. You could also use NVFlash and then flash the rooted version of the stock.
If you could click the "thanks" button it'll be most appreciated! thanks
Using the search function would be VERY helpfull.

Hey,
1) Thanks done x 3
2) so if i extract the NVFLASH it will root and install clockworkmod?
>> Is it the guide? http://androidroot.mobi/2011/06/13/nvflash-on-asus-transformer/ simply looks pretty long for one click hehe
2) Would it remove my stock rom? I only want root and install CWM without remove my stock rom or settings.
3) Would Z4ROOT work?
Thanks!

2. Yes NVFlash will flash a ROM of your choice. You will have to download the .tar.bz2 of the ROM you want (note these are VERY limited and you don't have much choice. So what you might have to do is download a .tar.bz2 of any ROM, then go into Clockwork and just flash another ROM [same old way with flashable zips]).
NVFlash will: Root, Install Clockwork. And yes that is it. It's not long, its one click.
Pretty much: download a .tar.bz2.
extract it, cut it into the root of /nvflash/
install NVIDIA drivers in /nvflash/
double click!
done.
2) Yes it would remove your stock ROM. If thats the case then you need to use another method that I'm not familiar with. NVFlash is the easiest way.
If there's a stock 8.4.4.11 with root, you could use that after flashing. But you won't get OTAs most likely. But people often put the OTAs in a flashable zip so OTAs are useless.
3. Don't know what Z4Root is.
I got my transformer a few days ago and let it upgrade over the air to 8.4.4.11
I then read this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125714) and decide to root it. It';s a few steps but thats because it is written out in absolute detail.
It just roots that particular firmware, and installs CWM. It took less than 10 minutes.

looks good!
So basically:
1) You got any suggested .tar.bz2. link to download directly?
2) I simply connecting the ASUS to my windows laptop and finding nvflash folder there, extracting the .tar.bz2. into this folder?
3) I click the bat file from windows.
4) I've some custom rom with clockworkmod working. now I can load any rom i want with clockworkmod.
-- right?
-- I can using NVFLASH backup my stock rom?

No NVFlash doesn't backup anything. Read what kibje said, that might be what you're looking for if you want to remain stock
1. Yes
2. No, you have to put the Transformer in APX mode (read the guide again)
3. In this mode, Windows will try and find a driver for it. Manually set it to /nvflash/ whatever it says in the guide.
3. Double click guide
4. Yup
Can someone please give a guideline or link for making a flashable zip pack of a whole rom, i mean is there any way to make a rom in flashable zip formate, so we dont need odin and we can flash rom without laptop, i.e. via cwm. Thanks for your help.

Is there a stock ROM that is flashable via Streakmod?

Thanks.
Are these flashable via Streakmod recovery?
Try this link. If you click on the folder (baseband number) for the ROM you are interested in you may find an update.zip package. You can flash that with StreakMod Recovery. I would not suggest doing this to change a ROM, only to re-flash what you already have, if needed.

Are these .zips pre-rooted?
My Streak doesn't seem to like any custom ROMS. I can't get any stability, no matter what I try.
351 didn't flash via Streakmod recovery.
Do I need to flash the Dell recovery for 351 to go back?
The stock roms are not pre-rooted.
Read this: Radimus’s Universal Guide to Flashing a ROM
Best way to revert to stock 351:
Grab MultiRecovery Flasher
Download the 351 .pkg file from the Streak Wiki
Put the 351 .pkg file on the root of your Streak's external sd card and rename to update.pkg
Use MRF to flash the 351 recovery
Use MRF to reboot the phone
Do not let it reboot completely, as the phone starts to reboot hold both volume buttons to go directly into recovery
Select #2 to apply the 351 update.pkg
When it completes the install and the phone reboots you will be back to stock. If you want to root I recommend the superboot.zip method, and don't forget to install busybox and update the superuser bin and app files from the superuser app.
Make sure that your read and understand Radimus’s Universal Guide to Flashing a ROM. I also recommend reading this.
Edit: superuser.zip includes busybox.

just a small question here, what Baseband are you on? cuz what you're seemingly up to requires additional baseband flashing through Fastboot-commands or the MF flashing assistant mentioned earlier within the Development Area of Dell Streak at XDA.
Please do note that you're request could be moved towards another forum, due to the fact that it doesn't relate to any 'real' development, no offense, but it is what it is.

Yeah, I'm sorry. Perhaps the mods could move it to the Questions section.
I thought I posted it there. My mind is fried after spending two days on this.
Coming from stock 351 with stock baseband.
Tried to flash 1.9.1 via streakmod, now I got nothing but looping boot screens.
Tried a couple other custom ROMs too via streakmod, but nothing worked. Nothing.
Trying to flash back to stock. Now, I can get the stock 351 recovery on, but that's it.
The dell recovery sticks at a blank screen.
I'm about ready to chuck it. I've never been so frustrated by any flashing process in my life. HD2, Vibrant, Galaxy, you name it. They were all cake compared to the Streak.

The best way to get the baseband you need on the Streak is to flash the stock rom associated with that baseband. That makes sure that all of the OS parts that aren't replaced by StreakDroid or another custom ROM are in sync.
And yes, this thread should be in Q&A

If I can get into fastboot, then all hope is not lost, correct?
Is there a guide to flashing back to stock 2.2.2 anywhere that you know about?
So far, I had stock recovery, went to Streakmod recovery, then back to stock after my flashing didn't turn out well.
No offense to the chef's but I just can't seem to find a way to make any custom ROM work with my Streak.
I'd just love to be back where I started and any help would be greatly appreciated.
The searches I've done have turned up stock Donut re-flashes. I don't want that.
So rar, recovery for both Streakmod AND 351 hangs on a black screen after selecting "Software upgrade via Update.pkg on SD Card" in the menu
No Dell Logo appears at all. I get a black screen (backlight on, just black). Since I get no logo, I'm not presented with the Recovery Menu
I'm burned out.

After I get the recovery flashed and reboot with both vol buttons held down... select update and I get a blank screen. Nothing.
I think my Streak is a paperweight.
Once in recovery hit the power or camera button ...to pop up the menu
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Just to follow up on my own post.
The problem was caused by having a stray file named update.pkg in my sd card at root level.
This hosed everything, literally, so recovery was not an option under any circumstances, even though it was flashed. I still got a black screen at startup, no matter what... even when pressing the correct button sequence as noted. I just didn't get to the Dell logo where the camera button would get me recovery.
I had to use QDLTool3rd to reinstall EVERYTHING and then I could install Dell recovery and flash.
Now, I'm rooted and restoring from backup.
Thanks XDA!

Heres is a copy of my stock rooted NG2 ROM backup that i made with philz recovery (download supersu from playstore after boot) this backup is in .zip format so just extract the folder from it into your clockworkmod/backup folder and boot into recovery and restore it.

Hi Church,
the download link is working as for I'm downloading it now. Do you think this will fix my no sound problem?
I posted in another thread about not having sound after rooting my phone and one of the other members said I should go back to stock and reroot.
Hey churchey360,
I came across this thread and thought it was a great idea. So, I tried it and something didn't work right. I was on stock rooted NAE with Philz, so I thought this would work like a charm. It seemed to finish the restore OK, but then I can't get any cell network, no wifi or anything. Any recommendations? No big deal if not, I can reflash my NAE rom if necessary and start from there. Just thought your idea was pretty good. Thanks for posting, let me know if you (or anyone?) has any ideas. Thanks.

Have you odined the ng2 modem?
Greetings-
I am able to root, and install twrp on my phone just fine. But I am not having much luck with Clockwordmod. I found this link which is a very organized, and comprehensive list of software including CWM. It points to this one, which points to this. My question is I don't know which file to pick. And for some reason Odin does not recognize the one I downloaded. I tried to flash the file with flashify, but I get into a boot loop. Can anyone point me to procedures and files which worked for this platform? I am running N900PVPUCNC5_N900PSPTCNC5_SPR. The main CWM site only seems to have the latest version, which is not odin compatible, and I am not sure if it works with my phone's software. I think it is meant for lollipop?

If you have TWRP why do you want CWM? They do the same function.

Thanks. My understanding is I can not flash a zImage with twrp, but I can do it with CWM. Is that not correct? The reason I just want to flash the zImage is I want to eliminate some of the steps, and see why my image does not work.

I'm not sure what a zimage is - but normal image (img) files can be flashed in TWRP.
zimage is the kernel .
I am afraid this does not help me. Don't mean to be unappreciative. I have done some research, and saw somewhere CWM can flash zImage. I have not seen the same comment about TWRP; I tried it regardless. TWRP does not recognize zImage format. I have looked into reformating the file, but I have to rely on scripts, and I am not sure if the issue with my image is in the packing stage or something else. I want to be able to replace the packing step with a tool like CWM, which is already verified. This is important for me, since I want to make sure I am not doing something wrong and messing up the file when I pack it. Can someone please help? The original question stands; has anyone successfully put CWM on this platform, and if so please share the file(s) and procedure(s) with me.
Well I have had CWM on my n9005, which doesn't help, but have you tried on the Sprint forums? There's n900p CWM Recovery and a search brings up a number of threads to check.
One immediate thing that jumps out is it recommends using Odin 3.04 - maybe it doesn't work with other versions?

Thank you so much. I'll give it a try. I hoped for a more recent version of CWM. I just found out that I can use flashify to flash .img files; so I am gonna try that on my recovery.img file I just built. That may fulefill my requirement.
Thank you so much for the help.
