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

Hey xda! I was having trouble restoring my M7_UL to Bell Mobility stock OS, but with the help of the amazing people here on XDA, I have figured it out. here are the steps I took to restore from insertcoin back to stock:
1. download this TWRP backup: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=61A88C96DFA8F691!624&authkey=!AC-6BqgL8HcbwjU&ithint=file,zip
2. download the matching firmware: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=61A88C96DFA8F691!623&authkey=!ALE6X9YofxVQr8A&ithint=file,zip
3. download lastest TWRP: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/164
4. reboot to bootloader, select fastboot, flash TWRP (fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img)
5. Boot into TWRP and backup just the boot, this way it will create the folder on your sd card with the correct name, otherwise backup won't show up
6. reboot into android. copy contents of TWRP backup to the folder created on your sd card
7. reboot back into TWRP. hit restore and wait for it to finish
8. reboot back into bootloader. select fastboot and boot into RUU mode (fastboot oem rebootRUU)
9. flash the firmware (fastboot flash zip 3.23.666.1.zip)
10. firmware flash will stop part way. this is normal. run the exact same command again and it will finish properly this time.
11. reboot back to bootloader (fastboot reboot-bootloader)
12. verify firmware has been flashed correctly (fastboot getvar all)
13. reboot, and take the OTA updates if you wish
14. this is where my instructions end. to finish restoring to 100% stock, follow this guide here, starting from removing the tampered flag: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358738
I hope this helps!
Hello everyone, I leave here step by step how to return from Oreo Beta to Nougat along with a video that I made with the process step by step, greetings.
NOTE: THIS PROCESS WAS TESTED AND WORKS, IT MUST BE CLEARED THAT THIS PROCESS IS UNDER YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, IF YOU FOLLOW THE STEPS YOU WILL NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM, ONLY YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICK.
COMMUNICATION GIVEN BY THE COMPI @kacarot, "ONLY YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR TELEPHONE"
Look to read by xda and in androi hilfe who are warning that this system is dangerous and that there is a step where you can produce the brick .... I have only read a case of brick (recovered with fh) but several cooks insist on warning the risks ..... From what I read the failure can be given to clean data from twrp and copy the new oeminfo ... There may fail ....
Perhaps it would be prudent to notice well that in the mentioned forums they are withdrawing the instructions ...

It is not advisable for any fan to do it! The trick with dd if =
is that you have to delete the data before in the TWRP to obtain a "normal file structure". You can verify that in the installation. Only if there are no numbers / combinations of letters can you be in Advanced in the TWRP with cp .... and dd if = make and wait until you have finished exchanging the message. Only then can you turn it off and then with VOL + / VOL- and Power of the SD starts the update and waits until it finishes. Then the HWOTA arrives at Zug. Yes, that's just with this rom and the dload folder in the root directory of the SD.
TELEPHONE PREPARATION
1. Activate OEM unlocking
2. Enable USB debugging
3. Have installed the Minibus ADB Fastboot 1.4.2 link download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5MSGGCOoMjiTFE5RHlaOWFvOVE/view?usp=drivesdk
4. Copy to the folder where the Minimal ADB FASTBOOT was installed the TWRP OREO link download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5MSGGCOoMjial94VHVzVnNVSGc/view?usp=drivesdk
5. download the rom MHA-AL00C00, unzip it and the dload folder that we have left to save it in the root of the SD link rom card: https://mega.nz/#!lYIhhDqY!I8lrCig3x2MMTHINZOvwVmhYDX2vz9QWb6V9epA6JI4
6. Download the file MHA-AL00C00.bin and save it in the root of the SD link card oeminfo: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5MSGGCOoMjiSUdZQmJQdzNIRUU/view?usp=drivesdk
DOWNGRADE PROCESS
1. Unlock the bootloader.
2. Enter the folder where you have installed the ADB Fastboot Minimal, press the shift key + right click and choose to open the command window here.
3. While in the command window we proceed to install the OREO TWRP with the following command: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp-oreo.img
4. Once the OREO TWRP is installed, we enter it with the button (volume up + power), the Huawei logo comes out and we release the power button.
5. Being in the TWRP we go to the option ADVANCE and in this we select the option TERMINAL where it opens a window to place the following commands which install the oeminfo saved in the SD the MHA-AL00C00.bin
cp /external_sd/MHA-AL00C00.bin /tmp/oeminfo.bin and they give the blue button of the keyboard to confirm it.
dd if = / tmp / oeminfo.bin of = / dev / block / sdd5 bs = 1048576 and they give you the blue button on the keyboard to confirm it.
After entering the two commands, we go back to the TWRP and look for the option to turn off.
7. With the phone completely turned off we proceed to install the ROM MHA-AL00C00 which is in the dload folder, press the three buttons at the same time (volume up + volume down + power) until the installation of this one.
If everything was done to the letter the phone should restart and turn on normally with the ROM MHA-AL00C00 installed, and after performing this process, you can re-perform the model and rom you want.
TIP: When doing the rebrand again for the change of ROM, perform the procedure twice selecting REBRAND so that the change of ROM can remain because once it is compiled in TEST KEYS NRD-900M, this I say as experience from someone who has already performed this procedure twice.

Thanks to the creators of this method since without them this would not have been possible.
This procedure really helped when i was stuck while upgrading to Oreo. Especially the part where u need to load TWRP for oreo and then you are able to flash the oeminfo.bin file..
Thanks a million

TWRP and root guide for 5S and 5G on Android 10 only - (these steps will NOT unlock your bootloader) - these steps use a bypass method to install a recovery without unlocking bootloader. the command below is to allow flashing of partitions. bootloader status is still locked during and after process is complete.
Note. if you already have ADB and fastboot drivers installed, this folder will work as is. if not I put an installer in the folder too to install a mini adb fastboot setup. which needs windows driver signing turned off (windows 8-10) this can be done by going to advanced startup and choosing to boot without driver signing.
1. Download zip file found at the end of this post
2. Extract to root of C: drive
3. open CMD prompt with admin privileges
4. CD to the ADB folder you extracted. (CD = Change Directory)
5. Connect your device in Fastboot mode (power off. hold volume down +Power until it vibrates. then release power but continue to hold volume down)
6. Once in fastboot mode, with cable connected to the computer run these commands
7. fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX659J (this allows you to flash the device partitions)
8. fastboot flash recovery TWRP-xxx.img (xxx being the version number of the TWRP image you choose to install)
9. fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_skip.img
10. reboot to recovery (from the fastboot menu) it should load TWRP
11. if TWRP does not ask you to keep recovery from being over written, go to advanced and choose disable replace TWRP. to keep TWRP as your recovery, and stop the system from re writing the stock recovery.
12. Reboot to system for the first time and complete the initial setup. this is to create the user space partitions data/media ( preferably do not make a pin or pattern at this stage)
13. once in the rom, connect to PC and copy over the Magisk zip to the internal memory. then reboot holding Volume up
14. once back into TWRP (if you created a pin during setup TWRP will ask you for your pin to access data) go into install and flash the Magisk.zip you moved in step 13 then reboot. once back into the rom, you will see a Magisk app, tap it and allow to update, the APK will install latest version of the manager.
More NOTES.
this must be done on a clean system. you need to wipe all data partitions to boot to system. re writing VBMETA causes encryption to break. until you reboot. so you lose everything Make a backup of your data partition on to your PC before doing anything.
its also recommended to have an update.zip of your current rom (which you can download from the post above), incase you need to reinstall the rom after flashing the new recovery or VBmeta.
OEM unlocking in the developer options is NOT needed. since you are not unlocking your bootloader. this step can be ignored.
I'll update this tutorial with newer steps if needed.
Thanks to those that created all these great tools.

I'm working on a process that will update to Android 11, through TWRP and root, without losing data. Much like a stock update.
I will update the thread once my tests are complete.
Hello. I can not flash (i cant even copy) the zip via TWRP. I see the storage device on my windows laptop. I have wipe data cache and dalvik, but it does not copy it and i can not restore my device. Help will be appreciated

Try putting update zip on a USB key and connect via OTG and flash this way. Moving files with TWRP for some reason corrupts or does not complete transfer.
Make sure to factory reset. If you're coming from a used update, backup your data partition and wipe everything. Then check to see if the partition is in fact empty. ( I noticed sometime my data partition did not erase)

Working fine after full data partition wipe.
I have an additioal question regarding further updates, and i would not want to open a new topic. so, after flashing the zip, i "lost" TWRP but i already have root access. I wonder if is possible to flash upcoming updates with the default recovery built in on the phone, if not, i would assume i need to install TWRP again.in any case, will side loading update make any problem with the current system? i hope my question and context is clear
As these are official ROMs, they will replace the recovery and remove root from the phone.
If you do not have root, flashing these zips from the system menu local update should work. But if you have root or TWRP it's better to flash through TWRP.
You could just flash TWRP again after flash, but I personally modify the zip and add the recovery to it to save me going into fastboot after each update.
Is it possible to install the US rom on a device with EU rom?

I've spoken with another EU rom user, that has the same issue before. it seems it was an error in the stock rom.
reinstalling 7.07 from the links above should fix your problem.
both 7.07 (the EU rom) and 8.07 (the US rom) are exactly the same. the only difference is the languages from what I can tell.
I have a silly question. Unfortunately i unlocked bootloader and i lost the fingerprint capability. I have tried many times to do the calibration without success. I wonder if a factory flash (EDM or any nubia tool) can restore the capability and then use this guide to do the rooting? Thanks

No it wont.
There is a specific step by step that is required to get it functioning again. And it only survives until your next full wipe, which i assume you will do more often flashing non official roms.
I can grab the steps and edit this post for you.
Edit -
Prep.
have a black / very dark brown leather. (belt, wallet, etc)
a soft gel plaster / Bandaid
(something skin textured and in a pink / light beige colour) texture and colour are important.
First step is clear data in the infingerprint app in app info and remove permissionfor data memory - (you need to show system apps to find it)
- digit in call phone code:
*#9959#
(android 11 use Activity launcher (playstore) to enter fingerprint menu)
- uncheck performance checkbox , check only calibration checkbox
Steps -
1. Press start then wait.
2.Press next and with plaster / bandaid press on circle
3.Press next and use wallet / belt ( the display becomes black for black calibration)
4.Press next and use gel plaster / bandaid again but pinch it in so only the part with your finger touches the circle.
If you are lucky see success alert in green color
In system app in setting In-Display-Fingerprint allow access to data memory then reboot device.
Enjoy your Finger Print once more!
P.S. = do this procedure in a very dark room to improve the chances of it succeeding.
Thanks to qtr1st (Salem) and mikekrunk (Mike) for the steps and information.

TWRP and root guide for 5S - (these steps will NOT unlock your bootloader) - these steps use a bypass method to install a recovery without unlocking bootloader. the command below is to allow flashing of partitions. bootloader status is still locked after process is complete.
Pretty short step by step to get twrp and Magisk if you want, on your phone. (Red Magic 5S)
Note. if you already have ADB and fastboot drivers installed, this folder will work as is. if not I put a installer in the folder too to install a mini adb fastboot setup. which needs windows driver signing turned off (windows 8-10) this can be done by going to advanced startup and choosing to boot without driver signing.
1. Download zip file attached or mirrored
2. Extract to root of C: drive
3. open CMD prompt with admin privileges
4. CD to the ADB folder you extracted.
5. Connect your device in Fastboot mode (power off. hold volume down +Power until it vibrates. then release power but continue to hold volume down)
6. Once in fastboot mode, with cable connected to the computer run these commands
7. fastboot oem nubia_unlock NUBIA_NX659J (this allows you to flash the device partitions)
8. fastboot flash recovery TWRP-xxx.img (xxx being the version number of the TWRP image you choose to install)
9. fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta_skip.img
10. reboot to recovery (from the fastboot menu) it should load TWRP
11. if TWRP does not ask you to keep recovery from being over written, go to advanced and choose disable overwrite TWRP. to keep TWRP as your recovery, and stop the system from re writing the stock recovery.
12. Magisk zips files are in the folder. copy to device and flash through twrp. and install the apk after boot. done twrp and root.
More NOTES.
this must be done on a clean system. you need to wipe all data partitions to boot to system. re writing VBMETA causes encryption to break. until you reboot. so you lose everything Make a backup of your data partition on to your PC before doing anything.
its also recommended to have a update.zip of your current rom (which you can download from the post above), incase you need to reinstall the rom after flashing the new recovery or VBmeta.
OEM unlocking in the developer options is NOT needed. since you are not unlocking your bootloader. this step can be ignored.
I'll update this tutorial with newer steps if needed.
Thanks to those that created all these great tools.

reboot to bootloader by... power off device -> press and hold volume down and power button until you see the logo -> connect device to your computer then do the steps 7 to 12
also once you are in TWRP make sure you ... this must be done on a clean system. you need to wipe all data partitions to boot to system. re writing VBMETA causes encryption to break. until you reboot. so you lose everything Make a backup of your data partition on to your PC before doing anything.

if you have not removed your pin before flashing any of the roms. it asks you for YOUR own pin that you made when you setup the phone. so use your own pin.
the process of rooting your device, clears a security partition. (the VBmeta partiton)
this deletes the encryption you had on your phone. so the devices partitions are unaccessable and need to be wiped before you can boot to system.
you need to clear data. all data. then check in TWRP file browser if your data partition is clear. .. if you see folders with random letters its not been formatted correctly.
so, in the wipe menu on TWRP you should go into advanced and change the partition type to ext4 then back to f2fs to clear the partition of data.
once your phone is clear you should be able to wipe cache and davik then reboot to system for it to start like a factory reset.

After i reboot in TWRP and disable replace TWRP, i install magisk from a USB otg, and then i wipe all data, then i reboot system but it keeps opening TWRP in every reboot, i had to install Stock Rom to have my phone back but without root, what im doing wrong?? thanks
Edit: now it worked, tried a few times and worked don't know what failed
So I'm trying to get Magisk installed on my bootloader/OEM Unlocked S10+ (SM-G975F beyond2lte) device.
I can do that fine by downloading the latest official firmware for my device, installing that (BL/AP/CP/CSC) through Odin v3.14.
That installs fine.
Then I sideload Magisk v23.0, and the AP file I just flashed via Odin over adb via push.
I install Magisk, recovery-patch the AP file, usd adb to pull the file back over onto my desktop. I restart the phone in download mode and once again populate Odin with the BL/AP/CP/CSC files, but this time the AP file is the one I got from Magisk.
Start that, let Odin restart my phone whilst I'm holding Bixby/Power-Up/Power, I release those three once the bootloader warning message comes up.
I set the phone up like normal, but there's the issue - my 128GB device only reads as having 32GB - I can setup Magisk fine, it asks me to download an extra bit, then auto-restarts the phone after 5 seconds.
Yay, I have root! Boo, I'm missing 96GB of free space...
I've read that installing TWRP can help fix this, fair enough, I try to install TWRP (I've tried through both the "dd" method via adb shell, and patching the twrp 3.5.2_9-3 via Magisk, and installing with vbmeta over Odin), but that then eliminates Magisk.
I've been trying this now for days, literally days, reading through different forum posts, detailing my steps to myself in notepad++ step-by-step so I can see what it is I'm doing.
I'm left with zero clue what to do now except reach out and hope for some help from this forum.
Should have known... Now that I've posted on XDA it's fixed... In-case anybody else is having trouble here are the steps I've written down for myself.
Phone is S10+ SM-G975F (beyond2lte) - Bootloader / OEM Unlock is already unlocked.
******************************************************************
FLASHING STOCK ROM (ALWAYS GOOD PLACE TO START):
******************************************************************
1. Phone into Download mode (Vol Down + Bixby button, insert USB (Don't use power button))
2. Odin, AP in AP, BL in BL, CP in CP, CSC in CSC (NOT the HOME one). USERDATA stays EMPTY!
3. Phone may restart/erase several times, in the end inbuilt recovery will turn up. Use this to factory reset.
4. Wait for it to continue like normal after factory reset.
5. Setup INCLUDING with WiFi. WiFi REQUIRED. No need to add your account
6. Make sure OEM Unlock is still checked.
*************************************************************************************************
ROOT INSTRUCTIONS: https://www.thecustomdroid.com/samsung-galaxy-s10-root-guide/
*************************************************************************************************
1. Use adb push to shunt over Magisk Manager (download latest one), and the "AP" file
2. Install Magisk Manager
3. Open, select install, make sure "Recovery" is ticked, next, select "Select and Patch a File"
4. Select the AP file, then click "Let's Go"
5. Use adb pull, as the MTP file transfer ****s up the large patched files Thanks Microsoft!
6. (adb reboot bootloader) Restart phone in Download mode
7. Open Odin, & flash the patched Magisk AP file in AP, BL in BL, CP in CP, CSC (NOT the HOME one) in CSC.
8. Let device reboot while holding POWER, BIXBY, and VOL UP, and release all 3 buttons on bootloader warning screen.
a. NOTE: If you end up with a bootloop, hold POWER, BIXBY, VOL UP until you enter the built-in recovery menu, and do a factory reset.
9. Set device up like normal, remember to enable the WiFi
a. Check device internal storage, should be XXX out of 128GB (Or whatever you have)
10. Search installed apps for the Magisk one, it won't have a proper icon to begin with
11. Open it, and continue the setup as it instructs. It’ll reboot the phone.
12. Device is now rooted.

*************************************************************************************************************************
1. Copy the "beyond2lte-boot-magisk.img" onto phone (see URL above)
2. Run Magisk, patch the "beyond2lte-boot-magisk.img" file, then copy it over onto your MicroSD (I just find it easier)
3. Boot into TWRP > Install > Install Image button (Bottom Right)
a. If TWRP has vanished, follow steps above to get it back
4. Flash the patched file to "Boot"
5. Go to TWRP Home screen > Reboot into Recovery (not into System)
6. Check Magisk Manager should have Root again (Don't update Magisk via app though, or you’ll bollocks the whole thing up, and have to start all over from the start.)
