You can't install any ROM without CWM. So every ROM you must install via CWM.
so after doing all this i will be able to install TWRP and update it right?
Never Mind the ROM i want says to stick with TWRP 2.1.3

You're not clear here; do I add a 0 at the beginning or the end of the CPU-ID?

N/m, a quick search elsewhere tells me to add a zero to the front (beginning) of the number.

You must add 0 to front.
I was able to root my device using the above methods, but could not install CWM.
After a lot of reading, it sounds like this is because I updated my device to Ice Cream Sandwich via OTA ("over-the-air," meaning from Acer directly).
I was able to get it to work by using the tool here:

Hi.
I was reading your tutorial, and i must say that it is very detaild. Very nice and thank you.
Now i'm intrested before i start:
- I have i A500 with FLEXREAPER R12.5, Android version 4.0.3
- Do i need to format SD card before i proceed or i can just start with your instructions ?
When i finish will i be able to install THIS
Thank You
Great sign that more users are willing to contribute to the just cause of our a500's!
However, please remember to give proper credit / thanks to those who have made the tools necessary (i.e. blackthund3r, gersma, etc... ) and the unlocked ICS bootloader ( Skrilax_CZ).

Nice post! Glad people are still making use of my projects download stats are pretty useless because of reuploads but I have a pretty good idea of usage and, for ICS Root at least, without reuploads considered, according to Dev-Host, is nearly 10,000 for v7.1.1 alone. I'm absolutely amazed at the uptake. Thanks so much guys! Flash tool v0.4 is at about 5500 on d-h.st
Sorry I haven't been around much recently. GCSEs are taking over my life (rightly so). At least, that's what my parents think
EDIT: Can I request that the links be changed to the latest versions of the tool? ICS Root is onto v7.1.1 and you linked to 2.0.1.0 lol
There's huge fixes in it haha. Plus, the included version of A500Manager is old. The new one gets your CPUID and SBK using a combination of the internet and ADB

Glad to see the old method still works for some folks. :good:
But, some of you may have to use the other methods. Remember this. The 500/501 can be a bit touchy at times.
But at this time, I will have to close this thread, the reason,
Nowhere does the OP give any thanks for the products used. In fact, OP has not responded to my PM.

I couldn't live without a Rooted A500 for ad-hoc support to tether to my iPhone 3GS.
I did everything in this order.
*********** Read Instruction Carefully **********
1.
Downgrade from 3.2 to 3.0.1
I used method 1 from this thread:
Here
2.
ROOT 3.0.1
I used this thread but there are other ways:
Here
3.
Install ROOTED 3.2 custom ROM of your chioce.
I used Taboonay 2.1. I downloaded the ROM right to the A500 and then copied it to the SD card using 'File Manager HD'.
Instructions here:
Here
Works Great on my A500 and only took an hour to complete. And Taboonay already has Ad-hoc fix.
Nah, too troublesome.
I rather wait for root to be available for 3.2
Did it the same way, works like a charm

That's a good question!
If your tablet needs to be rooted, and you updated yours to v3.2 from 3.0.1 via OTA, you'll loose the root privilege. - That's the answer.
So, to be able to get his tablet rooted, either downgrade and install his/her chosen ROM (already root).
And that's what I did on my A500 when I updated to 3.2 via OTA. I have to downgrade back to 3.0.1 and installed my chose ROM.

My A500 Rocks!
Thor Transformer Revolver 3.5 Port v4.1
I updated my A500 before I realized I cannot root the device with the new update. Now I have to downgrade it. I look at the tutorial on how to downgrade but I am confused since I am new to this. When I download the package from the tutorial post to downgrade, do I download it directly to my tablet or my PC? At instruction #3 it says use and editor to edit the UID number. Is this file keep on the tablet or the PC? Like I said I am a little bit confuse here. If anyone can provide me some help it will be great.

Because custom ROMs are buggy as hell. I'd rather have full functionality than not be able to use Bluetooth or volume in a set of games or some other minor annoying bugs.
The update just hit the US. I'm sure that will give people the opportunity to work on root for 3.2.
@max8176
The downgrade has to be done over your computer. You only need to connect your tablet to the computer when the software tells you to.
You also edit that file on your computer.
After your downgrade you have do the next steps (root, flash new rooted or custom rom) on your tablet.

@DerTeufel
Thanks, I figured it out. Have another question. After I downgraded back to 3.01. Will I be able to update through Acer? I went to system and check for any update and it said my system is up-to-date. Does that mean I won't be able to do auto update from Acer?
Please, let me know if downgrade will leave all the data, programs and settings on the tablet or if it will wipe it clean.

no just did it this morning for myself, keeps everything however the 3.0.1 downgrade file (one I used, don't know if there's a 3.1 ) is horribly mangled and there's force closes out the butt but its just enough to get root and install CWM as long as you have iconiaroot app and Acer recovery installer from market installed already as I don't think the keyboard will be usable
I did the second easy method though where you just place the stock rom update.zip file on SD card and install on boot, I believe the one you do connected to your computer will wipe everything

Sorry to bug - Do you have 3G support using the custom ROM? Heard a lot of the ROMS are only written for the A500 without 3G radio?
Want to downgrade then install custom 3.2 rooted, but need to make sure it is compatible with the A501 (3G radio)
Thanks
This thread is dedicated to helping you root your ASUS Transformer. Either method may not work if you are using a device with serial number 'B70' or above.

Unbrick Your Device / How to use NVFlash
In the unlikely event you brick your device, don't worry, it can be saved. It's very easy. Please download NVFlash and any ROM flashable using NVFlash above, and follow the steps below.
Put your device in APX mode: Connect your device to your computer via USB and power on the device holding both the Power and Volume Up buttons for about 3-5 seconds. The screen will remain black.
Install the required drivers for APX: If you haven't installed them already, find your “APX” device in Device Manager and update driver manually, pointing it at usbpcdriver in the nvflash.zip.
Prepare your ROM: Download your chosen NVFlash ROM and place the system.img, recovery.img, and boot.img in the nvflashtf directory. "/nvflash/nvflashtf/".
Start the process: Run download.sh (Linux only) or download.bat (Windows only) to start the process.
NOTE: NVFLASH CAN ONLY BE USED ON AN SBK1 DEVICE. PLEASE CHECK YOUR DEVICE IS COMPATIBLE BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS METHOD.
Razorclaw's tool is the easiest way to root and I think Prime does allow to OC (its in the Prime Tweaks options...)

This is a very well thought out thread with a great layout. However, the Razorclaw app and Recovery Installer app method is much much much easier. No computer needed. No drivers or cables needed. Just your TF and a connection.
These 2 apps need to be added to the reference thread. The info there is outdated.
that was an older method..razorclaw is more convenient,no pc,no cable.IMO there isn't needed a tuto for root,because is too simple...install an pak...install anotheer one to have cwm...that's it!!
Thank you all for informing me this information is now out of date. It will be updated soon.
nothin' mate,it is very easy now with that!the only problem,not for me,is the future asus's ota that can brick the device if we return to stock and upgrade from asus....
Why worry about an OTA update when the devs will have an ICS build out before ASUS?
infact for me it isn't a problem,but i red that for some people is bad don'r receive ota asus anymore.personally i go with revolver,until fabio released an ics build!

My understanding is that once you are rooted any unroot method should work to bring you back regardless of the model number. I haven't had the need to revert back. I also have a B90 and am rooted with CWR. There are two threads about unrooting in this thread that people claim success but have yet to figure out if anyone had a B90. I'm assuming soon people will try to unroot now that a lot more people probably own a B90 model.

I was curious about the kkrecovery.img: I had twrp 2.6.3.0 already installed on my tf300t, which did not work to install cm 11. I noticed after flashing kkrecovery.img that the twrp version is still 2.6.3.0. But it worked to do the install of cm11. What was changed?

An assert was added in the updater script, which allowed for the partition change in KitKat. You are right in saying that it is the same version of TWRP though.

This is really great for people not willing to put up with the whole ADB stuff, worked like a charm for me.
One thing: I found the whole thing is only working if you run the "Run Me To Start.bat" from a command prompt that already has administrator privileges. Just right clicking on the bat in an explorer and selecting "run as administrator" did not work for me, somehow it can't run adb, even though the files are present in the same folder.
Thanks again for your work!

im now trying to root and flash 4.4 rom but i have no touch as my screen is broken
i can only controll the tablet through the keyboard dock and hardare keys...
so if i try this method will i eventually get stuck somewhere in the flashing procedure where it requires a touch input on the tablet??

Unfortunately, yes, you need to be able to flash zips in recovery as that isn't automate-able. Unless twrp works with the keyboard dock,

You can use CWM instead of TWRP as the recovery. CWM uses the volume keys to install ROMs. Use the CWM from the first post in CM11.

Hi All!
Just out of boredom yesterday I put together a "Toolkit" for this bootloader unlock situation that seems to be extremely confusing throughout the interwebs.... I included the stock image 2.18.40.12 zip for the Z00A-WW (ML551) to start fresh with provided by ASUS themselves via their support site, the 2.19.40.18 OTA update provided by ASUS, the ZenFoneRootKit provided by user Shakalaca, the CWM bootstrapper provided by user 29y6145 and social-design-concepts, with SuperSU.zip, and Full instructions for every step along the way (Instructions.txt Provided by me) I also included drivers and one click adb installer to make things as smooth as possible for this process. Again, I'm not the creator of any of the programs provided in this toolkit, just the particular organizer who saw the need to make this process easier for others who want to get the most out of their phone and get more development capable devices ready for our eager hands to play with. I put a lot of particulars in the Instructions so be sure to read them verbatim and everything should work well.

Too large, since it contains everything from start to finish. about 1.2gb packed
Instead of one large file, why not split it using 256 MB rar files and upload them here?

Let me get this straight, this toolkit is only for the ZE551ML and not for the ZE550ML
Sent from my ZE550ML
The stock img and ota included are not for the 550, however can be easily acquired from the ASUS support site. The other files and programs included work for all version of the zf2.
Edit: no OTA yet for the 550

And I don't believe there's an OTA available for that model yet, apologies.

Access it from your computer and it will show the correct files.
You cannot access Mega on Android without installing the app...
You have to use a computer for the link to work properly...
