Re: [CWM/ROOT/EXTRAS] HD/HDplus Stock Root and other Mods - via CWM flashable zips
Noob question. But is there a way to flash the extrahd.zip file which enables the ability to sideload apps without using cwm? I don't want root and and don't need to flash anything. I just want the ability to load xbmc on my nook. I'm assuming I need to have cwm to be able to flash extrahd.zip? If you can use nook OEM recovery, how?

No, you need CWM on SD to flash the Extras zip. You do not need to root, but need CWM.

how would i go about rooting my transformer using nvflash? is nvflash even the best method or is there a better way?
Nvflash is the easiest way to root : Install driver, launch script, done
Only bad side : wipes everything on device

If you don't mind losing your data (or if your data is already backed up) then yes you can use nvflash with a pre-rooted ROM. Otherwise, assuming you're running v3.1 of HC, you can follow this guide instead - you'll keep your data this way.
Noob question
I have bought an TF101 since a couple of days.
If i want root it, i need only nvflash procedure or also the ClockworkMod?
Thanks

Nvflash at minimum for root, ClockworkMod is only required if you plan on either making regular nandroid backups or flashing a custom ROM.

Yes
I would like to use a custom rom, so, this method is useless?

This method also flashes CWM. So after you nvflash boot into recovery and flash the rom you want. Easy. Only sacrifice is a full wipe.

Thanks!
If my TF will not leave for technical assistence, i will try!
(i have light leak problem...)
But if i want to stay with stock 3.1 and gain only root permission, i don't need to flash anything after nvflash?

No need to do anything else, that's it but CWM will be there in case you do want to do anything in the future.
Hello together,
im running currently CWM 3.0.0.6 and would like to update to a newer version
with no Charging-bug. I have some questions about this.
1. Can i update CWM via flashing a zip...?
2. Which CWM version would you recommend at the moment? ( A link would be great)
3. Do i loose my old recovery files or is it compatibel?
Thank you very much in advance!
You can update Rom Manager from market and then you can update recovery using Rom Manager. It automatically downloads and installs updated recovery AFAIK.
Rom manager only gives you a temporary recovery, the easiest way I've found is an app called root toolbox pro, download the recovery image save it to your sd card then open the app choose advanced/flash recovery navigate to your img file on your sd card. Job done.

cant find advanced/flash recovery in root toolbox pro, is there any other option to install a new recovery?
when i just flash it its only temporary
Terminal emulator method works a treat. Can't remember command and busy at wedding reception at mo. But search for how to flash cwm via terminal and it'll work.

The easiest and quickest is to fastboot flash recovery
Your recovery backup will still be fine

I tested this out with both the transformer and slider. No need to do anything complicated.
ASSUMPTION:
You have CWM installed.
INSTRUCTION:
(1) Download the latest firmware from asus website.http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=20&s=16&m=Eee%20Pad%20Transformer%20TF101&os=32
(2) Unzip it. Inside, you should find another zip file. Place that zip file on your micro sdcard.
(3) Plug in your micro sdcard. Go into CWM.
(4) Wipe data/ factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe davik cache.
(5) Flash in the zip file you just got from the asus website.
(6) Once restarted, you will be back on non-rooted stock rom and stock recovery.
Yeah eyesoftsys posted the same thing a while back

No. Unless u go back to a stock rom that is not able to be rooted. The hc 8.6.5.21 is the only stock rom that can't be rooted I believe.

Use RecoveryInstaller to flash CWM recovery.
With CWM recovery you can flash ROMs.

Download and install this app. Run the app and grant superuser access. Then flash the custom recovery. This will install cwm recovery. Then go to the development section and browse the custom roms. Download the rom of your choice, place on sd card, boot into recovery (shut down, then hold the volume down key and power key, then when prompted on screen, press the volume up key) Before flashing a new rom, u will want to do a full wipe first. (back up any needed data first) You will want to install from zip file. Choose the rom you downloaded, and now you have a custom rom installed.
Worked great
I was able to get my TF101 back to stock with this, really easy. Thanks.

This worked perfectly and it fixed my USB issue from flashing the repacked ICS update. I love that Asus made the App Backup tool so I could just restore all my apps without Titanium!! So awesome!! Thanks again!
This isn't working for me? when i install the .zip from the asus website it says its completed installation but when i boot the tablet back up nothing has cahnged and CWM remains ??? is it because i have a tf101g? Ive also tried flashing stock asus recovery and it seems to work but then when i reboot i still have CWM ??
Will this work if I flash the German over rooted ww-version?
Can't believe it will be that easy also I don't wanna brick my tab.

Sorry for the question if it has been answered already, I didnt keep up with the Android news for a while and now Im super confused.
I have an A500 3.2 with a rooted stock ROM. I also have the bootloader, I guess the name is CWM that I helped me install the rom from the mem stick.
Now since the ICS for A500 is avaiable what is the easiest path to upgrade my device.
I thougt is just a matter of finding the right binary file for the rooted stock version and use the CWM to load that.... But after browsing the forum i got super confused with the multitude of roms and bootloaders and utilities for cleaning partitions etc...
I'd really appreciate a good answer here. Can i just load a rom file(which one?) in my old CWM? Do i need to upgrade the bootloader? (how?) I dont care about the data on the device, that can go away...
Thanks in advance!!!
since you're still on HC bootloader, your easiest method would be to flash a ROM that works on both bootloaders like flexreaper
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517181
just wipe data, system, etc and flash the new ROM in CWM recovery

That assumes you don't want to go to a new bootloader though.
How can I remove/replace CWM with aN ICS bootloader? And why a bootloader whould care about the host OS in the first place?!

CWM is not the bootloader. It is the recovery application.
The best way is to follow the instructions civato put in this post...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25381131
You'll end up with a rooted tab running the ICS bootloader and CWM 1.7.2. After that flash Flexreaper RF1_rv3 using CWM and you're good to go. Remember it's best to make sure you have all the needed files on your SDcard BEFORE you begin (the ROM etc.)

So i just switched from HTC ONE X to the nexus 4 and my version is 4.2 and i just rooted it. I have the system OTA update 4.2.1. Should i take it or is there another way to update my phone to 4.2.1 without OTA?
Do not OTA update once you're already rooted; flash this stock ROM (https://www.dropbox.com/s/syi2vmxh0noi2bv/occam-jop40d-factory-ca7602f0.tgz) and re-root.

That is a tgz file, not a zip. You'll need a PC, 7zip and fastboot.

Yes yes i figured it out
I've been trying to do this without wiping my device. It's still downloading so I haven't seen the contents, but I'm assuming just flash the .img files with fastboot and it won't erase anything? Would the Rootkeeper app work for this?
if you're only rooted, ota will work and would install without issues. it will only fail if you have modified some system files or the recovery. no need to reflash anything except the supersu for root if you don't use rootkeeper
I'm using Franco's kernel and CWM recovery. I have the stock system files, so if I flash those back, how do I go about applying this update? I'm so sick of seeing the update message in my notification bar and do not want to wipe to flash a new ROM.
Edit: I have previously tried flashing the stock boot.img and recovery.img, but trying the update via the notification still failed.

Flash the stock recovery.img and boot.img. You won't lose anything.

Your settings probably also modified the system files. Try flashing that too since you have the stock files. Just don't do userdata so your data is kept intact

I rooted, unlocked bootloader and flashed recovery yesterday then installed the OTA after, had no issues at all. If you are using cwm recovery it re-roots and prevents stock recovery being flashed after the ota is installed.

You can, it's fine and will work as long as you have stock recovery. You might lose root but can easily re-root if necessary.
