[Q] Root asus transformer

hey guys brandon back again not here though cause xda would not let me post in dev. until i posted 10 generals not a fan of that rule however..... i am currently running stock 3.1 with build hmj37_us_epad-8.4.4.5-20110527 and my kernal is 2.6.36.3-00001-gf377a2b i am not sure if all of the number are important but i want to make sure i do and ask this correctly i am trying to root with cwm with custom rom i have been seeing that i have to downgrade to 3.0.1 to get root is there anyway around that possible one click root or whatever and another thing is this prosedure reversiable, sorry for so many questions i really want to do this right cause this is one of these situation where i can't just turn my bricked device back to asus like i did with sprint many times just to get a newer phone. any links and advise would be helpful thanks guys

The reason xda doesn't let you post here before you get 10 post is to avoid some irrelevant post like this one in this section. It has nothing to do with android developmen, it should be in general. And for your question read and search a little there are many threads about it. For exemple the thread about WIP of one click root in this section, so there is none yet.

Wrong. There is a one-click root. Use NVFlash.
Not really one-click because you have to set up the drivers, but after you do that. You're pretty much golden. Just set TF101 in APX mode and then double click download.bat

ok what about a general adb root running 3.1 i can't seems to find anything specific to that current version they seem to be general rooting methods

because it is general, NVFlash works regardless of android version. this is why they don't let you post here until 10 posts

can you send me the link please and adb i have never really used that before is there a link for that, drivers is that on asus.com is there a specific driver i should be looking for like name specific thanks what about cmw?

Google android adb.
Searching is fundamental.

It's all in the dev sections what you need to get root. search NVflash

Dualbooting Android and Blackbuntu???

Does anyone know how to partition the Xoom so I could say put about 10gb for another Linux Distro instead of just running it as a "live cd".
I want to also put BlackBuntu on here thats why but be able to run it full not just through a VM.
Thnx

You should ask this in the development section. Might get an answer quicker.

I know but since its not anything dev and a question it doesn't belong there

No,you shouldn't ask this in the dev section. The dev section IS NOT for threads of questions of any kind.
OP, I am pretty sure the way you are doing it is the only way ATM.

And thats why I posted it here n dam ok, I wanna install crap but if reboots don't want to have to do it all over again... Thanks. Thinking if i can just partition 10gb to it would be perfect for installs and such.

Not to threadjack but I have a question myself. I installed Ubuntu running through VNC and I'm missing my browser. How do I get my browser? What is the difference between the version I installed in the dev section and the version you are trying to install?

My version of Linux is Pentest where they are just wanting "vanilla" Ubuntu. Mine has extra things included in it.

Well, it's better to post in the Q&A with questions.
However, most have probably already been answered, so it's better to use the "search" feature first before creating a new thread.
Most issues, when it comes to changing bootloaders, you should be able to find the answer in either the Bootloader Guide thread, or the Bootloader Thread itself.
If you can't find the answer, then post in the Guide Thread, or the Bootloader Thread. If nobody can answer it, or doesn't answer, then you can create a new thread in Q&A.
Folks around her are generally helpful. I ran most of the Trolls away a few months ago
My best advise. Get your UID number before you even start. Write it down somewhere. We have a guide on how to do that.
Always read the guides. These were written by people who have been at the new unlocked bootloader and 3.2 and ICS from the very beginning. We did the original testing for most of this stuff a long time ago.

Thanks a lot! Very helpful.

One more advice.
When you post questions, and people help you (whether right , or it just didn't work), it's a custom to select the "Thanks" button near their post (reply). It's a nice thing to do. You will find the "Thanks" button located under the user's Avatar.
You are allowed to use the Thanks button 5 times each day I believe.

my A501 arrives today, my goal is to end up with Thor's JB ROM on it. I have a "little" experience from running custom roms on my Motorola Defy, but that bootloader thread is really doing my head in.
I've found this which as a newbie totally makes sense to me and is a great guide for starters.

Hopefully I can figure out the Bootloader part ok, or could someone recommend a particular bootloader with the end goal of using JB in mind perhaps?

So apparently you can't link to a banned member's website, thread, etc. Even if it isn't an xda thread link, which is incredibly ridiculous if you ask me, but whatever.
The original thread is closed but all the information you need is still available there, except for the link to the RUU file, which I will be happy to provide via pm.
