I just got one these asus tablets and I'm getting ready to rooting the tablet. I'm reading on how to root it and I want to know a really good Rom to put on it after I get it rooted.
I also wanted to know when I root the tablet will it add CMW or will I have to flash it to.
One last thing can I unlock it to use a different sim card. Thanks for reading this.

Unlock it, flash twrp recovery, CleanRom is excellent stock based rom, black bean is an excellent cm based rom. All of the roms on here are great, the two I mentioned were just my personal preference

You have to unlock and use custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) to flash a custom rom. I suggest twrp over cwm. Many, many complaints against cwm on this device.
I believe sim card unlock code has to come from the cell provider.
I agree. TWRP them clean rom.

+1 for TWRP and CleanROM.
I originally flashed CWM but had issues right from the beginning. Flashed TWRP and it's been smooth sailing ever since. As for ROMs, there are quite a few good 1's in this section. I decided to give CleanROM a try and I'm very glad that I did. The stock based ROM is outstanding! If you are thinking about getting a dock in the future, I recommend it. The keyboard really comes in handy and the extra battery life, USB, and full size sd card slot are a HUGE plus.
I would like to give you a word of caution. Please READ everything VERY carefully before you attempt to flash a recovery and ROM. The TF300 is a great tablet but is very easy to brick if you are not paying attention to what you're doing. Quite a few people in here have very expensive paperweights do to the fact that they didn't pay attention to what they were doing.
Read, ask questions, and then read some more and you'll be just fine. Good luck and welcome to the TF300 section!
I dont see how you guys are running TWRP so smooth, I have issues with TWRP, I enjoy CWM, the only downside is having to use the physical buttons, but that's not too much of a bother.

I couldn't get CWM to work at all on my TF300. I couldn't even get secure root access with it, and I've flashed dozens of ROMS and recoveries on multiple devices a variety of ways. Once I flashed TWRP via fastboot, rooting was easy and the device runs well even on the stock ROM.
If I hadn't already installed all my apps and data, I might try CleanROM. Scrosler always did nice ROMs for the Rezound and other devices. I've also run Cyanogen on my Rezound, but wanted to see how the native Asus ROM worked for a while before moving on.
I'm using Paranoid Android on mine, with TWRP. You do need a custom recovery though, the stock one won't really cut it for this type of thing. My own preference is TWRP, but it's really up to you.

When I did cwm it wouldn't make backups so I tried twrp and it's been great.

I don't have anything against CWM. As a matter of fact, I'm running CWM touch on my phone and love it. It's just that CWM doesn't work well on the TF300. At least it didn't for me. From what I've read, many other users had the same issues I did.
Also, as far as I know TWRP is the only recovery that will work with the newest 4.2 update.
I use CWM for testing and REODEXing. It runs significantly slower than TWRP although the latest version has made some improvements. I will still call it laggy compared to TWRP though.
Paranoid Android is really good so far... I love pie and full screen.
I forgot to add ...also running perf kernel 0.3 and it is awesome !!

alright get ready for all the questions!!! lol
so i came from my HTC EVO OG. rooting over there required unlocked bootloader and was wondering if thats the case or whats different about samsung? i also saw that there is twrp and cwm recoveries for the s4 right now, which is best? im assuming there are no awesome roms out yet because the phones brand new so ill check back on that later i keep seeing talk about odin and hiemdall too, what are they?
a few other random questions too. im thinking about getting the s-view cover but i also want the wireless charging back. think i could somehow combine this with a little modding? any other cool accessories?
also love making my phone full blue/black theme. here is what i currently have my s4 looking like. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dlc3ukdjcy4tsop/2013-05-05%2019.55.47.png. so if you guys have any cool ics themes or stuff like that feel free to share. waiting for cm10 or aokp roms to use as long as everything works well.
thanks in advance
Odin is a flashing tool. Use it to flash your recovery and then use your recovery to flash superuser. Thats it now you have root.
I like twrp right now just because I can set my backup folder and do a few other things while in recovery. Once we have a fully functional cwm touch available I may switch.
i ended up rooting useing qbs motochopper method. i guess ill just wait for a fully functional cwm or one that becomes the standard most people use and some good roms to do all that.
Hey man im sort of on the same boat coming from the original EVO 4g
Go to Android development forum, and go to Shabbypenguins OUHDS recovery thread and follow the excellent instructions in there for recovery and root if you went back to stock.
Fully stable and working well, TWRP is fine too other than some touch sensitivity issues. I recommend OUDHS CWM!

Hello all,
my N4 is on stock 4.3 JWR66Y, stock kernel.
i have been using android since few years now, whenever i wanted to flash new ROMs on my devices i used to find one that used to match my requirements bt here i couldnt find one ROM which includes:- :good:
- screen colour enhancer (franco gamma somthing) & audio blaster
- Rooted, deodexed, busybox
- Custom recovery
(when i m into recovery threads i read rooted n4 is needed & when browsing how to root they say custom recovery is needed.)
i had a Note I and things were so easy with - odin pc - custom ROM - and flash..nvr unlocked any bootloader..
what unlock bootloader?? cant i simply connect N4 to pc through usb cable & by using ODIN on pc flash a Custom ROM which will have evrything (or atleast most of the things i m looking for in a ROM).. things were so easy on Note. Please help if i am missing smthng..i never jump to conclusions, i have been reading this N4 forum since few days (all above points one by one) before flashing nonsense n end up bricking..
few say its not possible rooting 4.3 wug's root tool kit only installs super su & busybox bt doesnt actually root N4..
in short kindly suggest where to start & how to start to get all above points.once i m rooted & on custom recovery i know flashing n all bt this is really confusing here ..i feel damn alone here..
please help. sry for bothering.
thnx in advance.
-----------------------
Update
if i am not wrong i have to start with
1- install naked drivers for ms-dos purpose
2- unlock bootloader - restart in dwnld mode-connect usb-boot commands r thr
3- install custom recovery twrp/philz/ etc via ms-dos
4- install root/supersu/busybox etc by dwnlding that zip.
bt hw to get gamma n color enhancer the screen is quite dull..IPS
Ok please start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015469 I suggest you do a little reading, sounds like you have a good grasp on what needs to be done. The toolkit will do all the work, I prefer ADB but thats just my preference. The toolkit automates everything and makes it very easy to do. Stay away from CM10 nightlies if you want to use a custom kernel, it will only cause you headaches. There are plenty of roms to choose from, what were you looking for as far as features. You are not alone, a little patience and some reading go a long way.
thnk u vry much smoka..
i want gamma controller, root (super su, busybox), custom recovery, safe kernel to wipe frm philz like.
for this i need to unlock bootloadr first r8?
btw whch toolkit? wug's??
thnk u again.

I know carbon ROM has those options but I'm pretty sure most other ROMs do too. make sure you read all the stickies, it sounds like you got it now.
Hello, I have just got a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 White 16GB in the UK locked to the O2 network. This is my first time using an Android phone and I have looked around and saw the Google Edition, how do I flash it onto my phone? is there any drawbacks is the ROM the official one, it will not damage my phone or anything will it? I have warranty on it, I do know rooting and flashing voids the warranty but will I be able to unroot and go back to the official OS that was on the phone?
I just want the Google Play Edition as I find the Touchwiz UI horrible and GPE is apparently quite faster and better for battery life.
Please help me and please take into consideration that I am a beginner and have never done this kind of stuff, thanks.
That's simple.
You need:
Heimdall suite: https://github.com/downloads/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/heimdall-suite-1.3.2-win32.zip
CWM Recovery: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
ROM:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348272
1.Install heimdall on pc
2. download recovery for your device
3.Turn off phone > Press vol down + home +power button, you will go to download mode
4.run heimdall with command prompt and type: heimdall flash --recovery yourrecovery.img if that will not work type: heimdall flash --RECOVERY yourrecovery.img
5. Turn off your phone and go to recovery by pressing vol up + home + power button
6. Wipe data and flash your rom from sd card.
7. Reboot.
8. Enjoy.
Press thanks if it work for You.

First what firmware are you currently on? I have an o2 model and I believe they are still officially on 4.2.2. firmware I think. If you are on a 4.2.2 firmware pre knox bootloaders you'll be fine. You can root and later use triangle away to clear the counters. If you are on a KNOX bootloader then rooting will make it impossible for you to downgrade to a lower firmware.
Rooting is easy, you just need to flash CF-Root, flash custom recovery and good to go using Odin. There are a few different GPE roms around so read the relevant threads and see what users are saying in regards to the roms.
I have no idea what Knox and stuff is, I'm a basic beginner so I basically know nothing, here is screenshot of it
Just checked I have Knox installed so rooting and stuff will void my warranty forever without any chance of getting it back right?
An easy way to check is to shut down your phone, hold the volume down + home button + power button until you are presented with a green Android and a warning about download mode, press whichever it is to go to download mode (don't worry, to get out of it just hold down the power button and then restart your phone). You are looking for knox warranty or something like that with a 0x0 or 0x1 beside it, if it isn't in the list in the top left corner, you are pre-knox bootloader and you are fine to follow the instructions provided above.

I have done it and it seems I do not have this supposed Knox thing, btw can you give me a link with good instructions on how to cf flash, install custom recovery and use odin? I also don't know what GPE rom to go with, I just want one that is fast, stable and makes my battery life good
Hi,
Just wanted to put my 2 pence in and help with choosing a ROM.
I have flashed both GPE other roms on my S4 and I must say the best Rom in terms of battery (speed, size and customisation) is PACman rom. This may not he very helpful if you are definitely wanting to go pure android but I was in the same position and after using PACman its hard to recommend anything else.
You will lose some Sammy services like smart scroll, samsung camera functions, s-health and others but if you can live with that have a play and try out the different roms.
Once rooted and added a recovery (I use CWM) you can flash and flash any roms you like to try.
Give the rom a day or 2 to settle and see what you like the best.

Hi everyone!
Basicly I can't install Samsung based ROMs on my s4 i9505. I am able to install only aosp based ROMs. I flashed manyroms starting from Omega, echoe and many more.
I even tried to flash stock ROM but it is not rebooting and gives bootloops.
Appreciated for all your advises.

Hi, I'm not really looking for customisation as such, but since you've had experience with GPE ROMS which is the best GPE version for battery and performance/speed?

My personal best experience was to use the ROM Here
Its very quick and has a couple of little extras for you.
May I say that you will need to ROOT your device which will void your warranty.
Im not 100% sure how O2 set their devices up but you may need to see if there are any O2 related apps you need/want to keep also before flashing.
You will also need to install a recovery.
The procedure is very simple and their are some very detailed explanations and step by step guides on how to achieve this.
Please think carefully about what your next step is as its very easy to root and then unroot but some devices have KNOX built in to them which means as soon as you root you "flip a switch" (a sort of eswitch) which cant, as of yet, be flipped back again and no amount of "unrooting" will reset your device exactly how it was before modifying.
It sounds daunting but everyone on here is really helpful and you are not the first to be trying this for the first time. There are 100's of users all doing the same thing as you and asking all the right questions. Everyone has a point of view and some people may prefer one thing over another. Once you are ready let us know and we can point you in a few more directions/posts.

Hello, thanks for your reply, I checked through that download mode on my S4 and I did not see that Knox counter 0x0 or 0x1 or any mention of it anywhere so it's safe to say that I am on 4.2.2 pre knox bootloader, I am currently looking on CF-Flash root using Odin, will look into recovery but since you have experience could you recommend me to a guide for the recovery you are using which I see a lot of people use

You know the GPE ROM you recommended, will it work for my GT-I9505 UK O2 model, it's locked to O2 if that makes any difference?
This should work fine. But I would maybe do a little diggin to see if it does.
My device was a Vodafone device and I used this with no problems at all.

Mine is locked to Meteor Ireland and I installed (a different) GE ROM with zero issues. It booted first time, and from my own experience that's a rarity!
Best of luck with it, I love the GE ROM especially since I have the one thing I thought wouldn't work: the IR blaster! There's a watchON apk on xda somewhere and it's great! It fcs a few times but it will work!
Nice ^^
May I also suggest you do this:
Root device and install recovery
Make a Nandroid backup from within recovery and save that to your external SD card
Then go ahead and flash new rom
That way if anything should go wrong you can just restore your phone from your Nandroid back up.
Very useful

Do this! Then copy the backup folder onto your PC also. Nandroid backups have saved me many times! It's easy to forget.
I've been doing this for years and forgot with my S4 to install a custom recovery That was a bit silly, then flashed without a nandroid backup, that's a bad idea!
Even if there isn't any issue sometimes you just think: I don't like this and prefered it the way it was, you can have it back to EXACTLY the way it was in about 5 mins with a backup!
I do not have a external SD card at the moment, will this be problem??

OH right (I did this long time ago so forgot most of it), So if I wanted to install a tmobile s4 custom rom (DARTHSTALKER) on my i337 I could use safestrap, and then flash my kernel using odin for it to work? or that would break the phone?
not sure, i don't use SafeStrap and not familiar with rom
i would make sure it is safestrap compatible and see if any other att folks have flashed it
i do that by skimming last 30 pages and in-forum search for safestrap and att
or you can ask, but have found most times you get no answer on those type of questions. it has to be TW based--
You can get full root access on NC1

It's very hard to achieve what I did in these screen shots... sorta lol I just got the phone delivered yesterday at 2pm and hit Red Bull for 15 hours hacking it... I have full root access in system... knox is frozen by TiBu as you can see SELiniux is permissive, SuperSU Pro in control without a popup warning... I do have a new boot screen though with the unlocked lock lol. Bye bye warranty! I bought the 2 year replacement one and they don't care if it's rooted lol.
Check out the screen captures... I had to slug it out getting one app at a time til I finally figured out how to get TiBu su access... that was the key! I'd have to write a small novel explaining it, and I'm tired as heck lol. Some shots were too big. Point is... its stable I don't think you get this with safe strap do ya? Maybe ya do... but I hacked it lol. Still stock OS with a lot of freezes. If this is something different and ya wanna know reply to the message, but it takes a while and you need to really know your adb commands and be good with terminal emulator because it' s literally all you'll have for most of the 'fight' with Knox... and it really is. Lucky it didn't boot loop lol but I wanted full root access. I'll just deodex it and get rid of the bloatware later. I still wish I could flash CWM though lol. I like AOSP roms

Would have been easier on you to use TowelRoot which would give full root access and then use safestrap for its recovery. Could of avoided the 15 hours in about 1 minute with the TowelRoot app
I did try it. Several times. Didn't work at all... It was a lot of fun doing this honestly I haven't had a good challenge in a while lol. I managed to hack knox out of my device using nothing but the device itself and knowledge I have. I really don't want multiple Roms in my device. I just want one ROM like I have in all the others, and that's what I have now and I got CWM installed last night finally... A bit glitchy and not 100% stable yet... It has issues backing up to external SD for some reason. It'll backup to internal though. I used it to flash a small and meaningless update.zip I assembled to test it and it worked with it I'm not sure it would be successful using a backup yet either to restore the device... If I just used towel root I wouldn't have ever figured any of this out, and if I can get it a bit more simplified and figure out which particular steps or combinationof steps allowed me to exploit the system and get it in tthere and I can get it stable... I can tell everyone else how to do it. A friend on XDA is working on a tool now to simple install SuperSU into system... He done it on another device and got cwm installed on a device with a locked boot loader also. I used some of the code to get an idea how to do it on the sgh-i337. Its not impossible... Just hard to figure out I think that's one of the things XDA exist for... To learn and progress and help others... Right?

Well Great Job then, I do applaud you for your work you done. Hopefully for those that are stuck using safestrap you can get it to the point they could use cwm. That would be awesome.

Why a T-Mobile rom on an AT&T phone. Why not use one for an AT&T phone?

I seriously would not try that using safe strap in i337 @ this point. The ROM would need to be ported as a multicarrier , which is pretty simple in and of itself... A lot of debugging I'd imagine though. You'll only get 2g speed using ATT device on TMO ya know. They have different 3g and 4g LTE bands. It just won't work. If you flash that ROM.. IIt's very likely you'll soft brick or hard brick the device. I have the ATT kernel decomped now working with it... I haven't downloaded any existing ROMS used with i337 yet, but I'll get one and check it out and see what has been done with Knox in it. Just very risky flashing a ROM not specific to your device...
