its general info, since it isnt the actual guide to rooting.

Good find OP. Seems really straight forward. This will be my day 1 project.

Why was this moved to the dev section? Mods, there is already the ROOT thread, there was no need to move this. =\

I appreciate there are some differences, but why is the process more complex than the Acer A500. Al you do with there is:
1. Set as debug
2. Make sure an microsd is installed
3. Install the root apk
4. Run the apk
5. Reboots in five minutes and rooted

I'm assuming its the differences in the kernals, before the OTA updates, the transformer sounded pretty easy, but now they've locked things down since then

The new root allows boot custom boot and recovery partitions to be flashed to the device. Aloowing for nandroid backups and restores

Only get root with certain apps. Titanium doesn't work, nor does setcpu. Root explorer seems to.

Can we flash ROMs from internal memory as well?

I don't think so, as part of installing CWM you have to have an microsd card inserted. So I'm pretty sure at this point they don't have a version to use just the internal memory.
Also I did a nandroid and it looks like CWM currently backs up EVERYTHING on the internal SD card. Looking in storage i have about 380 Mb of system, 1.7 for media but my nandroid was ~2 GB.
If this is true, may be a problem down the road, where your nandroid may take almost your whole microsd just to store.

Just transfer off old nandroids and put back on as needed. Just means you have to make sure you have at least enough space to hold the nandroid you want to put on/restore to though.

Yeah... I only have an 8GB with 12 GB of stuff on the E3T so nandroid is a no-go for me at the moment ):

Tell me about it, I've got a 16GB in the desire that's never more than half full but I only had a 4GB lying around when I got the transformer so I'm tight on space till I get something bigger.
I am going to get a 32GB card for this and keep my media on it rather than the transformer. That way the transformer shouldn't get too big for nandroids.
I'm sure it's only a matter of time before honeycomb is ripped apart and we will be able to mount the /sdcard partition to a part of the nand that isn't backup up by nandroid. It lives in /data/media at the moment but a custom MTD could take care of that if such a thing existed yet...

Wouldn't this prevent me from being able to receive future OTA's though? Or do we have a way to flash an SBF of some sort (I'm pretty sure we don't).

Of course no updates from Asus but devs will give us the updates instead after taking the bad crap out.

i did every steps< 5. Wait up to 10 minutes for gingerbreak to do its stuff, once its done you will have SU (#) symbol< got the symbol try the other steps didnt work reboot ...now im trying to do it again and i get permission denied????

Flash a ROM without MicroSD? Gift for my dad, please help!

Hi, guys. I need some help, if possible. I ordered a A500 as a gift for my dad from TechForLess. It was shipped to me with 3.0.1 demo firmware...which is essentially unusable. When I reset, it just comes back.
I did a search and other people have had this issue. They flashed a ROM using Micro SD. I tried that, but it doesn't appear that my unit is recognizing the card in the MicroSD card reader.
I'm getting a refund, but they're letting me keep the unit, and I'm trying to get it up and running for my dad for Father's day.
How can I flash a ROM (any working ROM) on this unit, not using MicroSD? For what it's worth, my computer recognizes the unit, so if there's a way to do that, it might work.
I'm new to all of this. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Yeah Baby, we can help!!!!
It all depends on what you want to do.
a. Do you want to keep it stock (factory). This is ok with warranty, but seeings it's a demo model, I would guess it doesn't come with much of a warranty. Not to mention a demo model is as useless as teats on a boar hog. So skip to step c.
b. You wanna make it rock? For the best reliabilty and functional use, you're going to have to root. With the OS you have, it's darn simple. Just access the android market, and download acer recovery installer to the tab.
Wait, you're not finished.
Now you should look here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205204&highlight=iconiaroot
Then you can run AcerRecovery and install a custom HC based rom.
c. You want to run a stock update for the tab.
Now, you can't just put any old rom on the tab's sd card, and expect it to install. It doesn't work like that. First, the rom you install, has to be named "update.zip", and it should be a full rom update install. Not a patched one.
Also, the procedure to install, requires some buttons to be held. Most importantly, Holding Vol+ and the PWR button. This forces the tab to look for the update.zip on the Ext SD card.
You need to go here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
Grab a full update (you might need to decrypt it to pull the update. I would take a ComGen1. (after decrypt, open in 7zip, not extract)
Copy the update.zip to your Ext SD card, and do the step above to boot. This should install a stock full rom to the tab off the SD card.
Not many people get 3.0.1 tabs these days.....
MD

and if that one don't "stuff" your kitten, we got a whole lot of other tricks....

Thanks-- but it's not reading my SD card, so I think the reader might not be working. I'm not worried about that for my dad, but I need a way to get a working ROM on there that doesn't involve the SD card reader. I'm hoping that's one of your tricks!

Your tablet comes with a built in SD card (basically the memory you have on your tablet) 8 gb or 16 gb I've flashed mods through the built in SD card but I've never tried a from so I can't speak on that but I think you will be able to if you just download the rom and try to flash it but I'm not 100% sure so wait for someone to let you know but that that's just an idea to throw at you.

If I can get it going with a normal ROM, it's a win. If not, it's a huge pain in the ass. The SD card not mounting is killing me! There HAS to be a way... Right?

Well, I managed to get it rooted without using an SD card. Then I installed Acer Recover, but it's still looking to install an update from the SD card, which it can't see. When I go into Clockwork recovery and try to flash that way, it finds an update.zip at /SDcard/update.zip. I thought if I could replace that file, it could do the trick...but I can't find it using my computer.
This is driving me insane? Any other thoughts for how I can do this without a working SD card reader in the tablet?

I did get rooted. So, in cwm, I can mount a USB stick, and then run the update from there? If so, that would do the trick. Just need a stick.
Would that work?

Yes. In CWM you will have to mount the USB stick though. Then you can flash from the stick drive. (not capable in the original version of CWM)
I also remember Thor at one time, made it possible to flash from internal memory, but not sure If I remember correctly.
I would suspect after you get running again with a real rom, your SD card will probably start working again. They may have it disabled for demo purposes.
I would just install one of the 3.2.1 customs instead of messing with the update.zip. They were designed to run from SD card. Till you get that issue fixed, I would run custom. You can get a stock rooted 3.2.1 in the dev forum.
Format your Ext SD to FAT32 on your pc after you get up and running.
MD
EDIT: One more thing. "IF" you install a plain STOCK 3.2+ rom, (a non-pre rooted stock rom) you will lose your CWM recovery and root. And the process to "roll-back" is a bit of a pain. Not impossible, just more steps again.

I need a stick to give it a shot, but fingers are crossed. Appreciate the help. I'll report back....

I believe in the newer CWM, you have to mount the USB in Mounts and Storage. Basically I think it switches between EXT SD and USB Storage. Never used it myself, but the option is there.
Also, you can install a zip from internal memory as well in the newer versions of CWM.
MD

In this version, I have the option to mount USB...I'm hoping that does the trick...because it was tough enough to find a root method that didn't involve the MicroSD slot.

Do you have the ST or STG? I messed up the system on my STG and is now running the software of ST. Since I cannot find any factory image of the STG, I just order another Nook. My plan is to backup the rom and factory partitions and make a image from the new Nook, apply it to the old and overwrite the rom + factory partitions.
If you have the STG, I can send you a full STG image once I have it (the new nook should arrive in a week or so). From this you should be able to recover the partition tables and the software (I guess, I am pretty new to this). Your only problem will then be that you are missing the original rom and factory images.
Let me know if this would be useful for you.

Thanks!

[Q] Moving Nandroid Backup to SD Card?

The first thing I did after rooting, because it is what the tutorials and this forum always stress, is to make a Nandroid backup, which I did through TWRP Recovery. Nowhere did I see an option regarding where to save it. Low and behold, I find out that it saved the backup files, which are nearly 3gb in size, to the phone, instead of my larger SD card. Obviously I want to move it to the latter. But by what means should I do that, particularly so that the backup can be easily flashed onto the device later if need be? I don't want to move it only to make the files undiscoverable in Recovery.
(I apologize if this is a stupid question, but this is my first time rooting, and nothing useful was yielded from a forum search.)

In order for CWM or TWRP to see the files on your memory card it has to be 32GB (those are usually formatted in FAT32). If you have a 64GB memory card that would be formatted in extFAT. The programs cant read extFAT so you would need to take the card out place it in your PC and use a FAT32 program to make it FAT32.

It never specified. There is no media format listed like for the computer's internal HD, and when I click to format, it tells me nothing, nor gives me no options. It just tells me that it is done.

So I have solved the problem. Below is a reference for other users who might have the same issue:
1) Used GoodManager for Reboot Recovery
2) Made a new Nandroid backup, this time discovering that I could assign the backup to my sd card. And so I did exactly that.
3) Rebooted after backup made.
4) Connect phone to computer via USB, and use Windows Explorer to drag and drop the backup that was sitting on the phone in the same area where the new backup is.
Basically, knowing that I could back up to the SD card, and that TWRP created a file path for exactly that, I knew that I could move the old backup there too.
That said, I very much appreciate the help given to me.

When you say you have 'filled' the phone, are you talking Internal or do you mean you filled a 32GB external SD Card?
With TWRP you can easily set your backup (nandoid - i.e. everything) to an extSDCard and then simply copy that zip file to your PC. Later you can Restore only the Data if you want.
Titanium also lets you set your backups to the extSDCard.
If you mean you filled your extSDCard you have multiple options - take out the card and put it in a caddy and then a card reader and simply copy everything to PC. Buy a new and larger card. 64GB hi-speed ones work very well and even 128GB ones are down in price.

I meant I filled my 32 (well, 26 GB) internal and only have a 16 gb external.
