Opinion Regarding: Nvflash unbricking released! - Eee Pad Transformer General

Just to warn people about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14709690&postcount=1
It seems that this tool(.bat file to be precise) COMPLETELY ERASES all of the partitions on the tablet and then creates new ones. I used this flasher like an idiot... there is another thread that has a working tutorial for using nvflash. So, to anyone else who wants to follow this: DON'T EXECUTE download.bat, it will ****up your tf.
Can someone please provide me, and others with a full backup of the transformer? I really don't want to send my tablet to ASUS. Please, this is important. Thanks in advance! ps: pm me i'll provide the hosting space.
Or.. I can try to follow this guide for now.

I agree. The topic should really be "NVFlash How To Brick It Further".
The NVFlash Stock 3.1 topic is the one that should be stickied.

Hmm i don't get it. I've used it to flash prime 1.5 no problem.
Just extract the prime for nvflash in the folder and you're gtg

I did the same exact thing right after I took my TF out of the box. The nvflash unbrick process worked to get my Transformer back to normal.

OP in that topic instructs you to execute download.bat, but doesn't say that you need to have bins inside the same folder. I looked inside and though it will only send a bootloader, so then I can execute backup or restore commands.

You are aware that the guy who made the thread is the one who released the NVFlash tool in the first place right?
I used NVFlash to root. People have mentioned that this wipes and erases everything. You should of read everything before doing it.
I love it when people blame the OP/dev. But everything that you flash/do is YOUR responsibility. No body elses. Let's see you develop something for the TF101. Until then, don't criticize other people's works.
If you watched the video, it tells you what to do including moving the files extracted from Prime .tar.bz2 into the /nvflash/ folder. I'll agree that his instructions were kind of vague but if you really looked into the video, you would of noticed it.

How was I supposed to know that there is a video, on the forum linked from blog linked from OP post ? It should be in the quick guide steps list.... He could at least warn us about it.

Watching the Youtube video isn't apart of using the NVFlash. Everything that you do is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Not anybody elses. I was the first people to even use this tool and it works. You MESSED UP, stop blaming other people for your mistakes.
The OP linked androidroot.mobi. which leads to http://tabletroms.com/forums/showthread.php?976-Nvflash-Unbricking-and-forever-root! which leads to a youtube video

Yea, quick instructions to brick your device. It's his responsibility to post complete instructions everywhere. I shouldn't have to guess that there might be more somewhere linked on the linked website. Is it so hard to warn people to put bins into folder or it will erase everything? As I said, in other thread sending bootloader allows you to execute commands by hand, here it executes automatically and the visual difference between two commands is not apparent.

Dude just redo the procedure with prime in the folder. You can still usee nvflash even if it doesn't boot at all

Man you must be new to Android. You should know that everytime when you do some kind of significant modification to your phone/tablet, there will most likely be a full wipe.
Everything is your responsibility. In the end, YOU'RE THE ONE that made the decision to use NVFlash. You should of done your research before hand. Or at least be a pest and ask before you do something.

Zephik, I think it's not the data that he's worried about. He thinks his device is bricked.
Sent from my Legend using XDA Premium App

I did this like a moron too. It's OK, your TF is not bricked. Download the prime rom and extract it to the same folder as download.bat and you will be fine. I agree that the instructions could be clearer.

I think this guy is hopeless; he does not understand what he's reading. Could be a total misunderstanding of android concepts, or he is just lazy. He should stick with olpc, i think. Lol...

Looks like he herped when he derped.

Oh man. That's a huge contradiction. Upon using a tool that is supposed to unbrick your tablet... bricked his table

Cry elsewhere please. If you don't know what you're doing... don't do it. Its amazing that that even needs to be said.

If you did request for assistance due to your own incompetence, you would not have been at the receiving end of brickbats. Next time, do not throw garbage else it would go back to you.

i agree that there is a bit of ambiguity regarding where to put the rom files [extracting the zip into the same folder, will place them into a subfolder]. Perphaps modify the instructions to make it a bit more clear.
the op is a bit over-reacting though. that thread was brought to you by the people who brough us the nvflash process [and also by the letter M]. a bit less tude would go a long way.

The only way to fix it is if you ALREADY have the engineering spl. If you do, you need to fastboot flash clockworkmod 2.x.x and fix the catches. If you don't, at least for the moment, the phone is no longer going to work and basically equals a brick.

For one for now its soft-brick. Second is only way he can push the CWMR2.x if the recovery partition is not also corrupted at that point if that does happen keep in mind it won't even bootup. Best way to check this is by placing the PD15IMG.zip on root of your sdcard and see if it works. If you get fail-pu for now the game is over and I repeat you CAN'T recover from it using push recovery in that case you will brick it completely and won't even power up. I need to do more testing when I get another MT4G as I did push the recovery.img and reverted back from e:\ can't mount before during testing.

You can't post it because it does NOT exist and I am the ONLY guy in this whole MT4G section who actually hacked the emmc to find the solution, look at my Avatar. Name me the person who successfully recovered from it? You telling me you know more than I do? Have you even accessed the emmc?
"you will see where me and a few others troubleshooted this prob months ago."
lol that specially made me laugh since the oldest post regarding this issue the thread has me on it. You basically ran though my older posts and saw my recovery.img push along with flashing cwmr2.x from terminal as I posted the howto regarding it. Also the reason I was banned was due to the whole emmc issue in first place which you can find it CM7NB thread. Like I said we would be in better place right now if they didn't ban me then.

If what you claim is true then why don't you make a guide a successfully fix 99% of the bricks on this forum? I remember you now, its funny if what you claim worked you would think somebody else would have figured it out or something. Also, why ban you for helping out the forum.

1) Look in my Avatar.
2) Search for all threads related to fail-pu.
3) Go to it via Tapatalk.
4) Compare the Avatar.
Now if you could read half as you claimed to fix someones issue you would know who I am and why I am back on XDA and the reason I am back is to find the solution. But since you didn't actually read anything to begin with the point is moot. You "claimed" you helped someone on a thread which you can't post. Now you claiming someone else found the solution lol. Ill just let you do the search and see who is even posted regarding this. I grantee you not a single person who is talking about fail-pu was even in any of those threads period.
PS: I am actually waiting for another MT4G so I can hack it. Which is almost posted in every post since today. But then again since you didn't read you wouldn't know this as I only posted in threads regarding fail-pu to begin with. Its for morons like you that I get banned when I try to help the community and I get an uneducated idiot like you coming here don't have a clue on what you read or who you read from. Remember my avatar from now on I grantee you if anything intelligent was said would be coming from it. Do a single search on it and compare it.
UPDATE:
I am sorry folks but this kid pushed me with his babbling. Since I am the only one who been doing this since he even knew what failed partition update was till last week. If he thought we had a solution it would already be posted it won't be a moot point. lol he says why I didn't make a thread. I got banned for talking about emmc hack in first place yet he wants me to make a thread about it. What I am saying can be verified by looking at the threads not by pretending he saved someone to begin with.
Lol whatever you claim dude. I'm on a cell phone nor do I care about your thoughts. No wonder they banned you, your a dueche. I hope they do it again! Don't get me wrong, you seem intelligent and all but no one needs your God complex like attitude.
When I get home ill post you the thread where I helped troubleshoot (not solve) the answer I posted for the OP. However, until you write your so called guide I am right.
Update: His so called fix got him banned but yet he gives me a hard time for posting the only known fix at the moment. Question is, what does his "fix" do that gets him banned?

Did you read anything I said? How about this if your attempt fails and he bricks his device you pay for it. If you agree to those terms he will attempt your so called solution which you will find me say it on the oldest threads to begin with. If you agree and you must say YOU WILL PAY FOR IT. So he can send XDA email and obtain your info to file claim as you pay for the cost of the device. Am I getting though to you? The oldest post regarding this has me on it, almost all post regarding this has me on it if I was on at the time which can be verified though my avatar. Do you understand I was banned for this whole emmc fiasco to begin with? I would love to know other than suggesting putting PD15IMG.zip and pushing the recovery.img on mmcblk what other thing you offer atm. Which if you google.com under XDA narrow it down to MT4G you will see me post it. lol your trying to argue with the ONLY guy who was doing research regarding the emmc issue since 3-4months now. I want to so see that post where that guy recovered so I can send him a PM and have him post in here saying it didn't work and likly he bricked his device to the point it didn't turn on and he sent it to HTC for warranty replacement. Now I understand you wouldn't recognize me but my avatar been in this forum longer than you owned a device.
Dude I am not arguing with, your arguing with me. Lets say he did do what I said and it failed. His device was already done so there would be no difference. So far to date the only fix is yours and nobody but you knows it. What's weird is that it got you banned. So explain to me how I am WRONG?
1.Nobody knows your method.
2. The only known way to recover from the op's problem is what I said.

[Q] Unpacking system.img from Flyer RUU

Hello Nookers,
Remember that Sense 3.0 Port for Nook Project a long time ago? Well, the thread got closed because there wasn't a full product ready.
I'm almost done with my first working Sense Port, but I just need one more thing. First, lemme explain. These apps fail to works because the dump I used was an EVO View 4G dump, not the Wifi-Flyer's dump. So I have now managed to get a hold of a Deodexed Flyer RUU. I have extracted the ROM.zip containing system.img, data.img, etc. What I need now is a way to extract files from those. I have access to a Mac and PC but if ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY I will install Linux.
Thanks,
King Black Bomb.
Moo
if they are img files you can use IM disk to mount the img file on your PC. then you can access them and remove the files that you need to remove.
Dude, before you got banned two weeks ago, you said this would be done in 4 days, and you are still working on it? This is why you are not considered a credible developer.
You can use winimage to extract img files.

As I agree with the user above about your lack of credibility I'll add some info here for you to try to achieve your task. Attached is the program I use to extract images. ALL YOU DO IS DROP THE IMG FILE ON THE EXE AND IT WILL EXTRACT.
Yes, I did say that, and it was a mistake on my part I thought I would have found the program by then. Turns out a didn't. @xboxexpert I have tried unyaffs it does not work on either Mac or Windows. WinImage? It doesn't work. For some reason it seems encrypted. Same for IMDisk.
why are you even still trying this? HTC HAS MADE SENSE OPEN SOURCE AND WILL BE RELEASED ANY DAY NOW. www.htcdev.com

You really need to read his old thread to understand -- in it, I was one of the only members trying to help him... at first. He proceeded to dismiss everyone's guidance -- consistently claiming to know better -- and continued to lie about "progress" for weeks. The extent of his "development" was copying and pasting the Sense apk's into /system... seriously.
There's history here with this clown, so please save your judgments for someone else...
You can try DiskInternals Linux Reader:
http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/
OK, so you need to extract system.img files. You don't have to install Linux, you can run it from a Live CD. And mount loop the .img file to a folder on your system.
Mind PM'ing me a link to the download so I can do so for you? Then you can go ahead and do the port as you would say?

To everyone who says I'm not a dev:
I have been making progress, because at first it was complaining about audio drivers, then files in /system/etc, and it kept on going. Finally, and i THINK this is the last step, is to push Wifi-Only frameworks, apks, and the /system/etc folder.
@racks11479 thanks, but I'll only tell others to do my work if I can't. But again thanks for offering.

Isn't that the particular request you are asking in your OP? This is a developer community, everyone here welcomes help where needed. Not one developer on this forum has ever denied any help when they were stuck on an issue.
Not flaming you, but trying to help so you can continue the port you are working on. Don't let pride get in the way of progress.

[EXE] The .exe of Fre3atlast is available now!

This includes all of the files you need within the EXE as well as the script itself meaning: It will run flawlessly.
This works on x64 bit and 32bit
FEATURES:
Wimax backup and restore - after the root process/misc.img flash
MD5 hash check for misc.img before and after.
Temproot
Hboot flash
Choices to ask what you want (Y/N questions)
asks if you already rooted with fre3vo and if so, takes you to the reroot script.
Credits?
OTAking71 and scaryghoul. (Hboot patch)
Otaking again just for beta testing my script on his spare shift.
Agrabren for releasing fre3vo
Me for writing this batch file from nothing but the instructions in the hboot downgrade thread.
Credits to devnull for showing me batch to exe converter works on x64 when it didnt before for some reason.

Note: This script is made by me and may not be modified, reposted, or shared without my permission.
Reason I don't want you to modify it is because of the fact that I don't want anyone to break the script which can break the phones! Remember: Batch is very particular about function calling.
what? no batch-exe credit?

One click rooting method in less than 2 minutes

Root your phone without unlocking the bootloader. How? A new application called UnlockRoot does it all for you! Literally, all you need to do is download the UnlockRoot.exe, run it and enjoy your new rooted device. I can confirm that it is 100% working and took about 2 minutes from start to finish.
All you have to do is connect to your computer, enable USB debugging which is accessible through Settings>applications>devlopment>USB debugging
open UnlockRoot.exe and click root, after that it should take the comp. 1 min tounlock then 1 min to reboot then voila you have it rooted! You will then see the superuser app inside your app drawer. I recommend you to download busybox and titanium backup to have full control on your device. I've just rooted my xperia play and my wife's arc s using method. Both of them are running v2.3.4 so this should work on lower versions.
If there will be an instance wherein your device didn't reboot automatically,manually restart your device.

Is this in any way better than supetoneclick, zergrush?

I checked out the site and it doesnt say compatible with Xperia PLAY or any SE phones for that matter. Plus I am already rooted and unlocked bootloader. The site looks a little questionable like maybe the software could be virus filled. I dont know though. Only way to find out would be to try it, and for that I have no reason to. IT show support for the Kindle Fire. Anyone try it?
3 posts. All the same but in different forums... Spammer.
Even if it does work, this sort of thing shouldn't be allowed. Just trying to promote your own site.
BAN THE SPAM!
Edit: he only posted twice... Still though, at the very least, I call shill.​
I may have been overly judgemental in this case.

It's put out by AnTuTu, the same people who do CPU Master. They have a link in the newest version of their app.
Probably uses exact same exploits as superoneclick

First of all that is not my site and i'm not a spammer. I only posted this method in two different forums,the other one is in the android general hacking tips. The only reason why i mentioned the site is because i'm having problems uploading the unlockroot.exe launcher in this thread. As you can see,i'm only a new member and i don't usually start threads. I'm just trying to help because i had a lot of frustrations using other rooting methods. I have a descent job and i'm not gonna benefit in spamming so don't accuse me. I just felt very excited to share this method as this worked like a charm for my xperia play. I'm not forcing you to try this so ban me if you feel like doing so.

I noticed that too but trust me,it worked for my xperia play and my wife's arc s. Both of them are running the latest android v2.3.4 that's why i'm very surprised that it worked. Other rooting methods didn't work for that version so i resorted to doomlord's method but i'm having problems installing the adb drivers as i'm using windows7. I'm so happy using this method because it's very safe,no need to unlock your bootloader. Best regards!

I already uploaded the direct link to the file so you can shut your mouth now. I've been itching to do that right from the start but this site won't allow me because i need to have at least 8 posts before i can attach external link. You're a senior member so you should've known that,think first before accussing me a spammer.

I'm curious, why not post directly to their site, instead of a link to a file host?
No, offense, but if you post directly to their home site, it makes it seem a lot more legit than just posting a link to your download account.

Sorry bro but i already did that when i started this thread. I just edited my post because that d31boy guy is accussing me of being a spammer and just promoting that site.
When I see a brand new poster posting a link to relatively unknown website for use of an unknown exe file, it's hard not to be suspicious. I mean, you obviously know the benefits of root and you know your way around this site. The site has absolutely no mention of how the root is applied (which isn't your fault provided you don't have an affiliation to the site ). It's a pretty big leap of faith.
However, I may have jumped in a bit too quick on this one. It would have been better just to report the post and allow a mod to make a more informed decision. For that, I apologise.
All this method is, is the zergRush method with a different name...
Here's what I did (quick run thought of what i did, attached screenshot for reference)
Downloaded it from the OP's post (http://unlockroot.com was running at 2000BYTES/SEC)
Installed it on my XP partition
rebooted, went to my linux partition
Mounted XP Partition
went to \Program Files\Unlockroot\tools\
Copied rootutility to /home/myusername/
adb shell rm -r /data/local/tmp
adb shell mkdir /data/local/tmp
adb push rootutility /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/rootutility
adb shell /data/local/rootutility
and got the attachment

clarification of rooting step by step

ok sorry about the open thread all over but i plan on making a very simple step by step insruction guide once i am successful here so please be patient with me
So here is what i currently have on my desktop i have the shiftrewt.zip and extracted i have individual files named tacoroot.sh and shiftrr.rar this file i realize i don't use until a later time in the proccess.
This is my current position i have the pg06img.zip on the root of my sd card as well as the "misc img". i followed the instructions listed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23895078
so the first thing i did was open terminal and typed adb or what ever i will clearify later when i make a guide. ran the script and showed the adb help lines... so i ran this script following.. adb push tacoroot.sh /data/local/tmp/taco
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/taco
adb shell sh /data/local/tmp/taco --setup
YOU NEED TO Hit Vol up + Vol Down + Power all at once after it goes into recovery!
and i get file or directory does not exist so i am confused on what i did wrong does the taco root also need to be in the root of the sd card?? then this follows: however have not gotten this far yet..
After it reboots type:
Code:
adb shell sh /data/local/tmp/taco --root
and then you use
Code:
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
Pull your battery after you check the md5sum of the img by using adb shell md5sum /dev/block/mmcblk0p17
and then reboot into hboot to downgrade
so the question here is how to boot into hboot? and what options do i select to downgrade.. and after this is finallized i know i run the shiftrr.rar extract and run the shiftrr.exe
thanks for your help i plan on making this a universal guide and will upgrade while i can and i do plan on giveing proper credit to those originators and those that helped along the way thanks
Really nobody????

Whoa, whoa, whoa.... You need to slow your roll and relax with that ying yang. As for the no support comment, what exactly do you mean? I have personally, in I believe four DIFFERENT threads tried helping you. So have others, no one said it was going to easy. Every device is slightly different. We all have lives outside of XDA. Every time I root a device it's a new experience, it never goes as planned. You just have to adapt and move foward. But making FALSE statements like that does not help anyone. Search and read some more. I will continue to try and help you. Oh and FYI there's a little known tradition we have around here of hitting the THANKS BuTTON .

To many "one-click" programs for other phones have made people not truely understand/know what they are doing. Its a shame.

i usually do know what i am doing how ever i get error listed above so believe i am not putting files in the right places and that is where i usually get a bit confused on proper placemetn of files..
dear fellow xda shift member i truly do apologize for being out of line earlier you guys do help just not my current sitution so it look like as though i might have to suck it up and use the htc unlock too and unlcok the bootloader and watch the videos thanks guys for all you efforts in this matter and i know how this is a hobby and not a profession..
All good. Did you ever get it sorted out?
Not so much man decided to just use the htc unlocker tool have a few questions about it if you can

Don't ask to ask. Ask.
ok... will do... i opened the evo 3d bootloader unlock and it mentions i have to upgrade the ruu basically plug phone in enable usb debugging and follow the on screen prompts and nothing happends.. is this something i need to be concerned about?? and the next thing is the img zip for the 3d i am assuming that i don't use that "rom" and i replace that with the downgrade version zip correct?? edit i got the bootloader unlocked now i am trying to figure the next step in the proccess..
