[GUIDE] Upgrade to jelly bean super easy way (works for US varients, might for other)

Hello,
my tablet has a unlocked bootloader and was on 4.0.3 stock rooted when i did this and thought i would share how i did it, its really fast and easy.
Disclaimer: i am in no way responsible for a bricked or damaged devices, world endings, zombie attacks from using this guide. use at your own risk
Requirements: rooted with a custom recovery and unlocked bootloader. (i used CWM) a tf300t tablet
Recommended: doing the file transfers from pc to device as you go along
Step 1: get all the files you need download
****Version V9.4.3.30 make sure us download the file for US SKU
http://usa.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/#download
****Version V10.4.2.9 make sure to download the version for US SKU
http://usa.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/#download
Step 2: get the first file ready by unzipping (US_epaduser9_4_3_30UpdateLauncher) so it extracts a zip file called (US_epad-user-9.4.3.30)
-place (US_epad-user-9.4.3.30) on the internal storage of your device.
Step 3: boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache
-then flash the file US_epad-user-9.4.3.30.zip in recovery
-reboot device
Step 4: one device is rebooted and past the set up screen delete US_epad-user-9.4.3.30.zip off your internal storage (DO NOT INSTALL A CUSTOM RECOVERY AT THIS POINT)
Step 5 getting jelly bean ready: unzip (US_epaduser_10_4_2_9_UpdateLauncher) so it extracts a file called (US_epad-user-10.4.2.9)
- at that point a triangle with a exclamation point in the middle should appear saying system update file detected
(that same icon and message might pop up while the (US_epad-user-9.4.3.30) is on the internal storage ignore it then, this is why we delete said file before we put the (US_epad-user-10.4.2.9) file on the device)
Step 6: click on the triangle icon on your device and accept the update, your device will reboot and install jelly bean (should take 10 to 15 minutes be patient)
---Once the device reboots it will upgrade and you will be on jelly bean yay
To obtain root follow part 3 of this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845377) i will put the intructions here below for those to lazy to click the link
all thanks for rooting instructions go to krabappel2548 thanks man.
rooting and custom recovery
files needed for this process
fastboot and recovery http://www.mediafire.com/?1u44b0w3k1qoy4r
root files: http://www.mediafire.com/?cr209hb5e2fr910
== Part 3 - Install recovery and rooting ==
Let's start with installing the recovery
1) Download these 2 files:
- Jellybean recovery with fastboot files: Fastboot files + JB recovery
- Root files: Root Files
- You can also download the new CWM Touch recovery if you don't like TWRP: CWM Touch recovery thread
2) 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)
3) Reboot into the bootloader of your tablet, type: adb reboot bootloader
4) When your tablet has reached the bootloader navigate with volume down to the usb icon and press volume up to confirm.
5) To flash the recovery type:
- TWRP: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery tf300t-jb.blob
- CWM: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery CWM-Touch.blob
6) A blue bar will appear and the recovery will be installed, when the blue bar is filled press volume up + power button to reboot into the tablet.
Now we will root the tablet
7) Copy Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed to the internal storage of your tablet. then reboot into the bootloader again.
8) This time you need to select the RCK icon with volume up to enter the recovery image.
9) In recovery flash Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed and reboot into the system
10) Install Supersu from Google Play
11) Open up Supersu, it will ask you to update the binary, choose yes.
12) Now your tablet should be rooted
hope this helps everyone

Root on latest jellybean build

I updated my tablet to latest jellybaen thoug asus website. How can i get root access now?
1 click root tool dont works with latest build.... Is there any other way?
Build number: 10.4.2.13-20120907

Only way on JB is unlock and flash custom recovery.
Then you can flash the root zip.

This part works well
But if you try, can you write a report please

FYI recommend twrp for your recovery. Seems to do much better for flashing.

This only works if you have unlocked bootloader.

Indeed !
If you want to install a custom recovery, you need to unlock your device.

Unlocking was the best decision I made with this tablet. Currently running CleanROM, gonna give CM10 a try now that have they have it working on the JB bootloader.

I can't get it to flash recovery. When I go to the usb symbol it just hangs on "starting fastboot usb download protocol"
Nothing after that just stays right there. Any help would be awesome!

Installed JWR Franco kernel on PA JSS ROM.. help please

Now my Nexus is stuck in a boot loop, I can access recovery but I don't have anything to flash I have tried factory resetting but it doesn't help.

Why are you on JSS? PA has been JSS/JWR for quite a few builds now.
ANYWAYS, get into recovery and see if you have a thing called "sideload"
If yes, you're in luck.
Code:
1 : Setup SDK
2 : Download zip files needed (your rom and gapps)
3 : Make sure your platform-tools folder has ADB
4 : Go into recovery, choose sideload and follow instructions.
If no,
Code:
1 : Download TWRP or CWM
2 : Flash through FASTBOOT (not recovery)
3 : Reboot into recovery and follow the steps above.

[TWRP]Unlock huawei Honor 2 U9508/ Ascend g615

Hi everyone
This is how to unlock and install TWRP (root too) the Huawei Honor 2
The root in this process is a partial root....since Xposed and some other root features wont work because the stock Jb roms are odexed.
Warning...this process was not tested on B8xx aka emui 2.0 firmwares
It will succesfully work on :
B1xx
B5xx
B7xx
Also....you cannot flash official firmwares with unlocked bootloader...so you need to relock it in oreder to reflash a rom with dload mod
Check "HOW TO LOCK/RELOCK BOOTLOADER" bellow
So first :
IM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BREAK YOUR PHONE
COMPLETLY DESTROYED YOUR SD CARD
OR SIM CARDS NOT WORKING
....Do this at your own risk
Links Bellow.
1/Unlock Bootloader
First you need the flash tool : Here (not my tool...only sharing)
You will also need the usb drivers. You can install Hisuit and it will automatilcally install the drivers you need.
When everything is ready...enable Usb debugging on your phone
Connect the device to your pc via usb and run the tool.
---Select option 1 (so insert 1 and press enter) to install the new fastboot partition, which is able to unlock your device if you install an unsigned kernel / recovery.
---Select option 2 if you haven’t enabled usb debugging, or if you have previously flashed an unsigned partition and now your device isn’t booting.
---Select option 3 to flash a custom kernel you have previously renamed to boot.img and put on your desktop. Do NOT use dd dumps : which means do NOT use boot.img you can find in flashable rom zips.
---Select option 4 to flash a custom recovery you have previously renamed to recovery.img and put on your desktop. Do NOT use dd dumps neither here.
---Select option 5 to check if bootloader is locked, unlocked or relocked.
Congratulation...your phone is unlocked !
2/INSTALL TWRP AND ROOT
TWRP Recovery : Gdrive
Alternative TWRP Recovery : Gdrive ( Use Ctrl + S) to download and keep them in the same folder
Now after unlocking the bootloader close the unlocktool and reboot the phone in fastboot mode
After that :
1/ IF you used the first link recovery Rename the file to recovery.img ...put it on the same folder and use the unlocking tool to flash it
2/ IF you used the 2nd link (Alternative recovery) you can just run flash.bat and it will do the work
after installing recovery :
go to wipe menu...then advanced and wipe only dalvik cache
now reboot
if your phone is rooted choose do NOT root and reboot
if yours is not rooted :
hit reboot button and the phone will install the root....now all you need to do is to update supersu from the playstore
DONE

HOW TO “RELOCK” BOOTLOADER
After your bootloader status is “unlocked”, if you want to flash a stock rom with dload method , you need to flash chinese recovery (not another one), then flash any of batty86 roms (or any other rom with both boot.img and reserved.img), let the device boot at least once, and the bootloader will be “relocked”; then you can install the original recovery and use the dload method again.

hello bro flash toool link not working

This Thread is discontinued so i decided to update the unlocking methode one more time

Need help fixing my bricked phone

Hey Guys,
I have a redmi 3s prime and i tried to install lineage os on it, during the process i accidentaly flashed twrp over both the recovery and the boot. Now i cannot get into the recovery (and fastboot) unless i flash it over boot before rebooting my phone. After that i AM able to flash an new rom but it seems to always have wifi issues.
atm i am trying to flash the xiaomi developers global rom to see if it makes any difference. My main goal is to flash TWRP and a curstom rom (linage or resurrectionremix).
Can anyone help me?
Thanks alot!
Update #1
The flashing of the global developer rom worked and the wifi seems to work aswell, i will try to boot into fastboot and recovery.
Update #2
Its seems i am able to boot into fastboot and recovery again
Update #3
Following a tutorial for flashing TWRP and a custom rom but cant se2 anyone help me here?:
Code:
>>> Check then next step to root :
- launch minimal adb tool (previously installed)
- type : adb devices (to list phone connected) it will appear "unauthorized"
- on the phone : accept the computer
- re type : adb devices
it has changed in "authorized"
- type : adb reboot bootloader
it will go in fastboot mode (the same that power + vol down)
- type : fastboot devices
your phone will appear as in adb mode (unless the bad signed driver is choosen in win10 ; i won't repeat it again)
- type (optional) : fastboot oem device-info (to verify if bootloader is locked or unlocked)
now, we go to root
- type : fastboot boot twrp.img (if it is your renamed twrp copied in the minimal adb folder)
link for TWRP guide at the end if needed
!!! it will boot temporary in this recovery but it will keep your original recovery !!!
> allow to modify system (don't keep the "read only" if you want to root or flash recovery later)
go to settings to set date, hours, language, set custom options...
My optional advices :
- save your EFS & persist partitions or all whole partitions (except cache) to make a backup
- export this backup in computer or SD card in case of future problem
(EFS, persist are usefull to save and restore your IMEI in particular)
- you can flash directly TWRP with fastboot command : fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
>>> Root :
Now flash DM-verity patch, then superSU.zip to root and accept to wipe dalvik/cache after, finally reboot !
Device is rooted ! and you have kept the original recovery.
the reboot is quite long like rom update (because of cache rebuild)
sometimes, parts of theme are lost after rooting : just restore your theme
some devices don't need DM-verity patch as explained upper
superSU app shows "systemless root" from android 6+, it is normal, read below
>>> Change the Recovery by TWRP (optional) :
Now you are rooted, you have 2 methods :
- Install one TWRP app with googleplay and flash recovery through app on rooted device.
New official app in development (flash/backup .img & .tar)
- OR reboot in fastboot mode (with TWRP app method or power+vol- method or adb reboot recovery method)
in fastboot mode, and type commands :
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
(be sure your twrp.img is unlocked and correctly copied/renamed in minimal adb folder)
Now, long press power to turn OFF phone
power + vol+ (release power at vibration) to enter in TWRP or by TWRP app or Updater app or under Windows with minimal adb reboot recovery command
Note for devices with DM-verity : flashing TWRP needs to have patched system with DM-verity patch before because you will modify system most of time - generally, you don't need to patch again because you have ever done it in previous steps - in case of bootloop : go to fastboot mode, boot in TWRP with command and patch it.
Chainfire has recently modified superSU for android 6+ devices with DM-verity to install root without modify the system : it's called "systemless root". When you flash superSU.zip, it detects automatically android version, cleans old files and installs with appropriate method. Maybe no need to patch boot in this case with DM patch.
