No such file or directory

Hi Guys
I'm a total noob in this. I'm using mac Lion and installed android sdk with adb working (I think). I've downloaded the .11 firmware to the main storage of my prime and ready to go.

adb devices shows my prime connected but non of the commands in method 2 work (assuming thats the right one). All of them ended up with 'no such file or directory'. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

I am trying to downgrade my tf300 to .17. But when I try to copy the blob file to my tf300 with adb I keep getting an error that my device was not found. Even tho adb shell is running.
I use the command¦ adb push [source] /sdcard
Am i doing it wrong? I am fairly new to android so i am not sure.

I've done method 2 and everything seemed to go smooth but now it is in a loop (since the last reboot)

I've tried simply holding the power button (no response)
I've tried holding the power button plus vol - (no response)


Not exactly sure what else I could try

any suggestions?

BTW: I am using a TF101 trying to downgrade from ICS (The worst OS of all time)

If all you want to do is go back to .17, use method 2.
If your goal is to root just use method 3.

To downlaod a blob, go to the OP, find the one you want and click on it to download.

Oh, thanks a lot.

According to you, so i should use Method 2 to back 9.1.2.17 Stock ROM and use BLOD file US 9.1.2.17 :)

Thanks

First you have to run the command
adb shell

And as baseballfanz stated use method 2 to downgrade and use method 3 to root .21 without downgrading

You shouldn't need the .21 blob for the prime. Downgrade to .15 with one of these blobs:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25489127&postcount=71

Then upgrade to .21 OTA (make sure you use OTA Root Keeper).

Unless I misunderstand?

Cheers,

Slopppy.

Edit: Maybe you just typo'd 9.4.2.21, when you meant .15? either way, maybe you hadn't seen that post I linked to with the extra mirrors :)

yes i did typo, my bad, i did mean .15, but this is a zip file correct? and so i could just root on .15 and then flash a rom that was made from .21 without actually updating through the tablet?

thanks

Edit: as well on step 2 how would i start the adb shell session with my android tablet, when i issue the first command 'mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak' how do i know tha tspeaking with the android device?

Yep, that's a zip file. Unzip it, and unzip it again and you will have the blob file. That's the file you need.

This method gets you root ... it DOESN'T unlock the bootloader, which is what you need to flash another ROM.

Around page 5-10 ... maybe as high as 15 on this thread there is a script to do all the hard work for you. Just follow it.

Actually if you go a few pages back, there is an excellent guide by someone. I commented on how good it was ... just look for my post :D

Edit: It was freekers who wrote the guide, and here is the link - http://bit.ly/ICXrsw ... just follow that, it's very easy to follow.

A little more detail. The blob I downloaded and tried to load was WW_epad-user-8.6.6.23.zip

I had to wait for the "desktop/lockscreen" to show before I could create a new adb session after the first reboot.

Overnight, since it kept rebooting and couldn't be shut off, the battery died and that was the only thing that finally stopped it. I gave it a little bit of charge this morning and it went right back into the reboot loop. I still can't seem to get it to turn on using power & vol -

I manage to root without downgrade on TF101 using method 3. However the SU + Superuser.apk package failed to be flashed when i put it on /SDCard,

It worked after I try to make a copy to /Removable/MicroSD and try to flashed again from there..

yeah i would still want that even on stock, but would i still have to use the asus bootloader unlock to unlock it on .15, or does the vipermod tool do that without letting asus know?

thanks

Please, does anybody has an idea, why an OTA update can wipe my Voodoo RootKeeper su backups?!?
I'm on TF300T, back to DE .17 and forth to OTA WW .26.
Where is the difference to you're approaches?!?
Cheers

Ok was able to get the update notification and downloaded the update. Told it to do it and it rebooted. Went to the android guy with the spinning wire mesh. Got about 25% on the progress bar and then the guy was on his back with a triangle and an exclamation point. Stayed there for a few minutes and the rebooted back to .15 saying there was an error and reverted. Downloaded the update a second time with the same result. Any idea? Do I need to do a factory wipe? I'd hate to loose everything but I'm willing if it will fix it.

Any idea on how to fix? Have deleted the blob file on my sdcard still not working. Another person with same problem said wiping did not resolve the issue. .15 is working fine. Would like to get back on the update path tho.

Hi, first of all, thanks for all your great knowledge! Its a great help for us regular users...

I got a small problem: I have a swedish TF201 that just got back from repair by asus (new motherboard). It came back with .21 installed but ofcourse I wanted root on the machine.

Downgraded with Method 2 to a to a .14 blob I found here (alot of broken links so I went for the one I got). Everything worked ok but I could not OTA Update afterwords and realised I had us a US.14 blob.

Got root with vipermod and went for Method 1 and a WW.15 blob. Everything went ok again and now Im running WW.15 rooted and everything works ok.

But I still cant get a OTA update for .21, it just says that there is no new update for now.

The serial on the machine is correct and the machine is still locked.
I have tried DM/CM client close clear data trick. Still no OTA .21

Anyone got any ideas why? Im ok at .15 for now, but you dont want to miss out on any future nice updates do you?

Fixed my problem

In the code mmcblk0p4.....I thought the 0 was the letter O...it's a zero. Fixed everything haha. But I thought I would roll back to a previous version? I'm still at US_epad-9.2.1.21 but I have Superuser and Titanium backup, etc. I'm not complaining, just confused!

Yeah the vipermod tool can install custom recovery from .15 without alerting Asus to the fact. Bugger ... I probably should have done that while I was on .15 also. Didn't really think about it at the time! Ahh well, can always downgrade again, I'm not looking to put a custom ROM on anyways.

    WARNING

    This method will not work on any JB rom available, apparently google has patched the exploit.​

    Note that downgrading method for unrooted devices is highly experimental and may turn your device into worthless brick. Read this WHOLE thread carefully before you start doing anything with your Transformer.

    MOD EDIT: It is reported that this method doesn't work with the new Jelly Bean firmwares on the TF201 and the TF300T,

    Sorry, but I will not be able to support you between 3rd and 15th of May because I have to pass my final exams.
    However feel free to post your questions in this topic I am sure that somebody will be able to help you.    ​

    Description​
    Method 1 - Rooted Devices
    This method allows you to flash any update released by ASUS without need for custom recovery.
    ROOT is required to unlock mmcblk0p4 write access for dd.

    Method 2 - UnRooted Devices
    This method allows you to flash any update released by ASUS, no mater for SKU etc.
    It uses file linking trick to unlock mmcblk0p4 write access even when su is not present.

    Method 3 - UnRooted Devices - Recommended
    This method allows you to directly flash the recovery even on unrooted device. This may be used next to root your TF by prepared su package.
    It uses file linking trick to unlock mmcblk0p4 write access.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse
    Disclaimer​

    Despite both methods have been confirmed (by myself) to work, the whole process of flashing mmcblk0p4 with dd brings high risk of bricking device by for example file system corruption.

    I do not take any responsibility for damaged or bricked devices. Before flashing you have to assume the risk and chances of geting bricked.

    Under no circumstances should you brake cmd during blob file is flashed by dd. If that happens do not reboot. PM me and go on IRC

    Requirements​


    • BLOB file (look at links box at the bottom for few)
    • ADB enabled
    • Root acces (only method 1)

    Notes​
    Sorry for the mistakes, but English is not my native language PM me if you find any so I will be able to correct them.

    Before posting a question look into FAQ maybe it have been already answered.

    Guide is inspired by Turge who wrote similar article for TFP (link here). However whole 2nd method was invented and described by me.

    Instructions - Method 1 - Rooted​
    1. Upload the BLOB file to internal storage of your tab. (mounted as /sdcard)
    2. Connect tablet to the computer and start ADB session.
    3. When you will be in adb shell execute following comands:
    Code: 
    su
dd if=/sdcard/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
    4. The command prompt will be empty as wnen nothing happen, do not panic wait until the end of the process. DO NOT INTERRUPT (it will take apx.3-10 min)
    5. When you see the following message:
    Code: 
    1066806+1 records in
1066806+1 records out
546204969 bytes transferred in 250.309 secs (2182122 bytes/sec)
    (the numbers in resulted message may be diffrent but it has to have the same structure)
    You can safety reboot the device by exiting shell and executing :
    Code: 
    adb reboot
    6. Once rebooted you will see ASUS EeePAD flashing progress bar. Be patient and wait till the end.
    7. Tablet will reboot itself and start loading new system. (as it is first boot it may take few minutes)
    8. Be happy from your new firmware.

    ADDITIONAL OPTIONAL STEP

    In some cases flashing previous firmware leaves data partition intact.
    I suggest to clean it by booting with [vol down] and [power] pressed (you will see the info about the rom). Than wait until the screen with android and wipe data appear. Select wipe by switching with [vol down] and accepting with [vol up] pressed two times. It mostly happen when downgrading to HC from ICS.

    Instructions - Method 2 - UnRooted​

    3. When you will be in adb shell execute following commands:
    Code: 
    mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /data/local/tmp
exit
    4. Now reboot your tab through:
    Code: 
    adb reboot
    5. Once you see ASUS loading screen you should be able to start ADB shell session again (if not just wait), than (in shell) execute:
    Code: 
    dd if=/sdcard/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
    6. The command prompt will be empty as wnen nothing happen, do not panic wait until the end of the process. DO NOT INTERRUPT (it will take apx.3-10 min)

    Instructions - Method 3 - UnRooted

    This will definitely not work with Transformer Prime continue only if you are owner of TF101 of TF101G​

    1. Upload the RECOVERYBLOB file to internal storage of your tab. (mounted as /sdcard)
    2. Connect tablet to the computer and start ADB shell session.
    3. When you will be in adb shell execute following commands:
    Code: 
    mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /data/local/tmp
exit
    4. Now reboot your tab through:
    Code: 
    adb reboot
    5. Once you see ASUS loading screen you should be able to start ADB shell session again (if not just wait), than (in shell) execute (some times it gets longer, but do not panic it is normal):
    Code: 
    dd if=/sdcard/recoveryblob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
    6. The command prompt will be empty as when nothing happen, do not panic wait until the end of the process. DO NOT INTERRUPT (it will take apx.3-10 min)
    7. When you see the following message:
    Code: 
    8860+1 records in
8860+1 records out
4536396 bytes transferred in 1.718 secs (2640509 bytes/sec)

    9. Tablet will reboot itself and start loading new system. (as it is first boot it may take few minutes)
    10. Be happy from your new recovery.

    ADDITIONAL - ROOTING

    11. Download this SU + Superuser.apk package and place it on internal memory or microsd
    12. Boot to recovery. (turn off your TF and than boot with [vol down]+[power] pressed, once you see the letters identifying the system press [vol up]
    13. Now you should be in custom recovery. Select 'Install from zip file' and then select the file on desired location internal or external.
    14. Once flashing is done go back and select 'Reboot system'
    15. Now you got freshly rooted Transformer. ENJOY

    BLOBs​

    BLOB file can be extracted from any update file. It is contained inside XX_epad-user-x.x.x.x.zip achive. Where XX (e.g WW or TW) refers to SKU of firmware and x.x.x.x to its version (e.g 9.2.2.3)

    Or you can pick up a few here ;)

    Now they are ziped to reduce the sizes (MD5 value shows the control sum of each blob not zip) (sorry for hostings but I don't have space on dropbox any more, you may register to increase) (if you know faster mirror PM me)

    Results​
    Confirmed to work on both TF101/G (ASUS Transformer) and TF201 (ASUS Transformer Prime)

    However keep in mind that TFP have to be locked in order to use second method otherwise you may brick your device.


    It probably can be used with slider as well :)

    I also confirmed that it is possible to root any official OTA (on TF101/G) by flashing recoveryblob containing custom recovery and than update.zip with su and superuser app.

    Proven that Method 2 also work with 9.2.1.21 update to downgrade the software and reroot device. - thanks alvin612.

    Method 2 may also work on locked Transformer Prime however be careful and read warning and disclaimer in this thread.

    *NOTE* this is using Wolf's method 2 which is confirmed to work on prime, im not sure about tf101 etc. from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622628

    Mirrors of WW and US .15 blob (TRANSFORMER PRIME): you have to extract the .zip, possibly twice, then there will be a blob file, put that on /sdcard

    Let me just say this: you are a freaking genius. I didn't even think of symlinking /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 to /data/local/tmp so it would change ownership and permissions on reboot. This is f*ing brilliant!

    Moreover, if you have a blob for CWM you can also use the second method to install it on an unrooted device and then root it using the customary update.zip with su and superuser.apk (yes, even on 9.2.2.3 TF101Gs).

    Again, great job! ;)

    FAQ

    I'm confused, which BLOB file should I choose?

    You have to choose BLOB with the firmware you want to install e.g. if you are on 9.2.2.3 and want to downgrade to Honeycomb just choose BLOB file from 8.6.6.19 or 8.6.6.23


    Wolf help something happened to my tab, it wont boot up.

    If you let dd to finish all its job and after reboot you saw the flashing bar, but your ROM still don't want to boot up you have probably downgraded from ICS to HC. Just do the wipe by booting with [vol down] and [power] pressed (you will see the info about the rom). Than wait until the screen with android and wipe data appear. Select wipe by switching with [vol down] and accepting with [vol up] pressed two times. Than everything should be fine.


    I'm stuck on step 3 all the time I have message like -> failed on '/data/local/tmp' - Not a directory <- What should I do?

    It means that you have already symlinked something to /data/local/tmp and moved your previous tmp to tmp.bak. To fix that you can either execute:
    Code: 
    rm /data/local/tmp.bak
    or:
    Code: 
    mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.mad
    and repeat procedure.


    Can I root the latest firmware and keep my data untouched?

    Yes, on both TF and TFP. For TF101 use method 3.
    For TF201 backup your data with ASUS Backup utility, than do a downgrade, root and install OTA ROOT Keeper from Voodoo. After that update OTA and recover your root and data.


    Can this method be used to root TF301? (aka EeePAD Infinity)

    Unfortunately no, it only allows us to do a step back without root permissions and than apply a root. However I'm still working around ASUS Backup App as I have an idea of exploit (but not enough time to study apk more). If you are interested in this consider donation as I don't have access to any TF301 and that would speed up the researches.
