keeping root with hc 3.1? - Eee Pad Transformer General

Any way to keep root while upgrading to 3.1?

Working on putting something CWM flashable together. I'll post it if someone else doesn't get to it before I'm done.

Cool. I just saw the update was available and was going to start getting a rooted package together. You always beat me rmk :-[

It only flashes boot.img and /system so you keep your CWM.
Only changes are that I added in root,insecure boot (for adb remount), and removed ASUS update notifications.
I've only tested this on my personal Transformer (US, Prime 1.3r2)

Should I flash back to stock kernel (currently on netformer) first?

Doesn't matter. Kernel gets overwritten on reboot.

Worth noting that Netformer will not work on the 3.1 update, even with root.

All you did was put zip file on micro sd, Boot into CWM, wipe davilik cache and the flash the zip file? You didn't get bootloops or anything crazy?

many many thanks!
after flashing this, i will try the oc kernel with 3.1

Both custom kernels I've tried don't work. Sends the tablet into bootloop. Hopefully a fix will come soon because I like 3.1 too much to go back

Hm, for some reason i keep getting error mounting SD card tried reformatting several times.

Thanks Segnaro! Downloading now.
I'm not too fussed about losing oc kernel, would rather have 3.1 for sure!

You can't use 3.0.1 kernels with 3.1

[Q] anyone tried Thor Transformer Revolver Port?

It's been updated to V4. It seems pretty solid but that's less than 24 hours of usage. I think I've got OC to 1.5 or 1.6, no problems. As noted at his site, Auto Brightness does not work. I'm interested in GPS so not sure if that is supported or not. So far, so good with the ROM. I may give Taboonay another go, but feel comfortable with Thor's ROM. Also, Netflix does not work. I don't think it found it on the Market but I tried restoring from a backup and got an FC. I believe this is a known prob with HC 3.2.
i tried it, one hour later I was back on Taboonay v.2.1b.
also, when leaving it, wipe everything atleast 5 times, or your wallpaper wont work no matter what

Interesting. I tried Taboonay and didn't like it. I had some issues with OC with Thor's and am now giving PRIMEE P9-5a a go. It's better but thinking I may not stick with it. Perhaps I'll give Taboonay another go.
I did not like it at first either. Once I oc it was better. Make sure you use the 2.1b version.

I tried this too, but to my dismay when i reverted to my back up of Taboonay 2.1b, I lost root priviledges!!!!!!!! Unable to access the cwm, or anything that involves root. I have been searching for hours now for my fix. To no avail.
Wipe all partitions and dalvik before restore. It works.

Im stuck without su priviledges now. No cwm recovery, no acer recovery.

Sent from my A500 using xda premium
are you able to get into cwm recovery by pushing power and volume down buttons during bootup?
if yes - just put some 3.1 rom on your sd card and flash with it.
honeyvilain 1.05a was for me great choice.

No, i tried vol up and pow and vol down and pow. No luck either way....

Thanks, I did try it (twice) with the 2.1b. I've tried pretty much all of the HC 3.2 releases minus the minimal custom ROMs but seem to like Falcon Acer HC 3.2. I noticed some oddities when I maxed out OC so running at 1.5 seems to make for a solid ROM. I didn't have a chance to fully test GPS. I'm using richard's kernal but may try thor's.

I would:
1) Root your device with the tools already out there (I used ioniaroot)
2) Download Acer Recovery from Market and install CWM through that. Unless it has been updated, it will not give you the latest CWM, which you can download, install on your SD card, and flash from CWM
Keep us posted
So, I simply flashed another Rom. After of course figuring out that my recovery was still there.
All is well again!

Yeah, had the same issue when flashing my recovery image back to taboonay. Had to actually reflash the original taboonay rom and thor kernal. The recovery loses root for some reason.
Unfortunately, Revolver lacks 501 support, even after messing with the build.prop and an additional lib file. And Thor doesn't have a 501 to play with.
Looked promising though, a little more responsive than taboonay.

Rainbowbright, glad you back in action with your tablet. It seems thor has released an update to this ROM so very tempted to give it a whack this weekend, though I am really enjoying Falcon's Acer HC 3.2 ROM.

Interesting you say that about Taboonay. I was trying to figure out why I didn't stick with it given its popularity and remembered that was my experience as well. I have a USB 3G pay-as-you-go modem and have read those devices are supported, so I opted for the 500.

[UPDATE] CWM flashable ASUS update for ICS -- updated US, TW and WW version

As it says the update for ASUS ICS, but CWM flashable.
*WARNING* If you are rooted, you will need OTA rootkeeper from Market to flash this patch, or flash superuser after rebooting at least once. Currently US and WW ROMs only.
--If someone has an update from another version (CN, etc.) that they want to use, PM me with a link to the file and I can build/edit a script for that too and add it in--
You should be on an odexed stock ROM (rooted of-course) in order for this to work. If you are on a custom ROM, don't bother, it won't work for you. You will need to wait for the dev of your ROM to make a patch or upgrade.
I set this up to only flash the kernal and the patches. Recovery will not be effected. This is confirmed working for me.
The US version -- http://www.mediafire.com/?3aa16qy7sh4t9m4
The WW version -- credit to Lizard -- http://www.mediafire.com/?nw4zgwvl3yug0tw
The TW version -- thanks to wai43 for the files -- http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?cfq6d5lug4q4sd8
I will not be responsible if you brick your tablet. This patch worked fine for me, but may not work for others.

I didn't wipe anything. It worked fine for me. It works just like a normal update. You may need to be sure to have all the factory installed files though. I did the update from a full stock, rooted ROM. Worked great.
You sir are awesome. Worked perfectly.
For those like mE that edited thier system.
1. I flashed ics full over my set up to restore it without losing my settings.
2. Root keeper to keep root.
3. Flashed this update.
4. Used root keeper to restore root.
5. Profit????

Honestly, I don't know if we can profit from this... lol, but thanks is just fine. I've been dabbling in this crap for years, but I had to go back to the drawing board to get that script to work right. I hope that ASUS has their crap together and don't release a bunch of patches over the next few months, that would suck for all the devs. It is supposed to have some benefits, but I've been playing with this for a few hours and haven't seen anything amazing yet... I'm working on some thing based on this and will release soon.
BTW, for those with random reboot issues, I have yet to have experienced that -- since the original update. Anyway, just my 2 cents.

I didn't have the reboot error either. I wasn't even going to install the update. But since you made it easy....
Thanks for the uneventful update.
I HAVE experienced RR on ICS; will see what happens.
The poll in the other thread does not lead me to believe that this update fixes all the problems that lead to random reboots.
Anyway, thanks.
Btw, I tried to capture the update blob but after I renamed it, it disappeared from the /cache
I was just curious as to what you did to the update to defang it.
Is removing the recovery enough?
Does it also carry a bootloader update which you also have to remove?

I packed only the boot.img in the file. All the other junk is gone. From what I saw in the unpacked boot.img, there appears to be minor changes in the files. Quite possibly updates.

Can you just add superuser binary and the app plus busybox to the user script? I'm curious how you could go about further de clawing this update for rooted users.. maybe not wipe the system xbin folder just amend it? I'm out of my element...

I backed up su with OTA RootKeeper then rebooted into CWR. I flashed the zip, rebooted and let the update "optimize [my] apps". Once that was done I was greeted with my usual homescreen. A toast notification informed me WebKey was granted SuperUser permission, as always happens on bootup.
Surprised, I launched SuperUser and saw a corresponding new entry in the log. I double checked my current version of su, which was found to be current. I'm assuming that a "No newer version of su available" means su (and thus root) wasn't removed during the upgrade.
I next launched OTA RootKeeper which oddly reported my TF101 was no longer rooted. Nonetheless I hit RESTORE and root is back: or rather OTA RootKeeper is happy now.

Patch good for Non US Firmware?
I have tried to flash this update but I get an asset failure. Could that be due to the fact that I am running stock WW ICS and not the US version?

that is an assert failure. The update isn't happy due to the ROM you're running. if you aren't on a US ROM, it wont update.

Sharpe thank you for this zip. I have a US B80 and the stupid update would start to install and then after getting about a 1/4 of the way it would freeze on the android with the exclamation point. Your zip solved that problem and so far no reboots or any weirdness. I do have one question about the update though, how do I stop the tablet from trying to take the OTA(it is persistent).
Thanks

Stuck on Asus Screen after Kernel Update

Hey people,
Currently I was running AOKP Build 33, then decided to flash my Transformer's kernel to Clemsyn-Blades3.2OCver22a (http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1109630.html), now it seems to be stuck on the Asus EEE Pad screen. I did a back up and through CWM v5.8.1.8 and restored without problem but it's still stuck.

Now the question I am wondering is... Is it worth it? Potentially sacrificing root and CWR? I have been running 0.0.7.3 CM9 build for many months now and am curious to what you all think.
Pros/Cons? I've heard battery life is terrible, which is odd because I feel like I have good battery life on the CM9 Port. Also... Is root completely gone? Does OTA Rootkeeper help? My biggest concern (I'd probably even lose root if it is fixed), does the pen work as advertised? Or is the infamous 'pen wonk' bug still present?
Pen wonk = writing notes for ~10-15 minutes, pen is suddenly not responsive. Sleep/waking the device fixes it usually. This has been present in every stock Honeycomb build as well as all the CM9 Port builds so I am very curious if this is fixed because I believe it is a hardware issue (Lenovo please prove me wrong). Any info would be much appreciated.

I was able to go from a rooted, CWM'd device (US 64GB) to a fully rooted device without CWM.
After a few painful steps to get an old busybox file restored and stock recovery enabled, the upgrade process was very simple and so far it is working very well with ICS. There hasn't been enough time to judge battery life yet....
Make sure you follow the instructions that other's have posted about using RootKeeper. That is the only thing I needed to use to restore root perfectly.

I updated with CWR rather than reverting to stock recovery. Everything worked fine. However, it did get rid of the stock recovery.

That is good news about the ability to keep root. At least in keeping root, we should theoretically be able to restore CWR.

I did not have CWR to start.
I downloaded the update through the "update" menu on the device.
Update failed due to gps.conf being modified.
Reverted to what I thought was old gps.conf, update still failed.
Install CWR
Try update through CWR
Still fail, due to indigo being required in build.prop (this error is caused by CWR)
Commented out the Indigo lines in the update-script in the update
Flashed again
Still failed for gps.conf.
Commented out each line in update-script mentioning gps.conf
flashed again, it worked.
I take you flashed 310 first then 400?
Where is the script located?

The update-script is in the META-INF/com/google/android folder in the zip. a # sign will comment out any line.
Do I put the number sign in the front?

K1 1.5 flashable

Hello, I created this flashable zip of the 1.5 update for the K1 using SuperR's Kitchen. (Original file)
You can flash it with twrp.
This is my very first time, so theres no guarantee at all.
It worked for me. Take it or leave it.
It's deodexed and ziplaigned.
Rooted and with SuperSU.

Confirmed working on my K1. Also could you maybe provide the blob if you still have the original full zip? Thanks for this!
thanks very much!
Downloading!! Thanks for your effort.

It worked for me. I used the same rom before flashing this.

Are you going to make a new optimized one?
This one is only a test which I wanted to share.

Ok, i thought it was the same. Thanks
For me this is hanging on "Extracting System Partition". Let it sit for at least 15 mins. Forced reboot back to recovery and flashed the full 1.4. thought about trying to boot but did not want to corrupt adaptive storage. Also I installed from adaptive storage like always.

For me it took a long time too. Maybe if you want to try it again let it plugged in the charger and give it some time.
good for me
Thanks you, it's gold for me.
