For step 6, it says to open as administrator. I did this, and when I got to the part where it was opening ADB port and detecting, it simply went back the the main menu after detecting the device. When I opened without clicking run as administrator, everything progressed well. I'm on Windows 8, if that matters. Just letting you know.

Same here. Win7 64 bit.

I understand that rooting isn't supposed to void warranty (and I know this from experience too, with my nexus s, gnexus, sony xperia), but I've heard that asus has a tracking software (pixwe? cmtools?) on the tablet that informs them of whether the device has been rooted, and if it has they can possibly deny you warranty? It's the only thing keeping me from rooting as my infinity has a little defect that I would like fixed but haven't the time to travel to the service center yet. If anyone could help clear this up it'd be much appreciated!

Ok now I am having trouble getting my tf700 rooted. First off when I go into device manager my device shows Asus Transformer tf700T but when I run the root tool it gives me the message that I need to make sure I have the device drivers installed and I get the message about debug and unknown sources. After I hit the enter key the program closes or I get the message advising that daemon ran successfully and then nothing. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you.

tell me about your game experience on the Infinity

Before I bought it, I was looking forward the life with infinity.
But after I got it, I noticed almost tegra3 apps are VERY laggy and hard to play:crying:
I was really disappointed. Surely I knew this tablet has quite high resolution, so I could expect issues like this.
But it's too worse than I expected...
On some custom ROMs, it got better. But unfortunately, only a little bit.
Everyone's infinity are same as mine??

What apps are you talking about?
I don't have any problems.
I have played modern combat 3, dead trigger and both played fine.

Really? On my infinity, MC3 and NOVA3 is too hard to play. Maybe frame rate is around 20....
Dead trigger is not bad. But little laggy and sometimes freeze.
Other almost tegrazone apps are also quite bad.

Too Easy To Root

That was just to easy to root. Great instructions. Been lurking and thought I'd finally jump in. Thanks

Anyone can help me with this? Really want to root but need to retain warranty as well, so need to know if Asus can track rooted devices and deny warranty based on that.

Same doubt here...rooting, Asus detection and warranties...

Well, I got my TF700 yesterday, and I have the same doubt of T3ej4y: does Asus have a way to check if our devices are rooted? I want to use the services of cloud and other stuff from Asus (the ones bundled with the tablet), but want also to root (can't feel safe without Titanium Backup, that's why root). So, there's doubts:

1) If I use the services of Asus, can they detect that my tablet is rooted and then void my warranty? Or, if I don't use them, they will never know about my root? (so, the detection would only work for Asus registered customers in any service, Asus users with devices deliberately registered? Or not?)

2) Does Asus detect as unlocked and voids warranties of BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED devices or ROOTED ONLY devices? I don't want to play with the bootloader right now, so if Asus have resrictions (and detect as unlocked) only the devices that got bootloader unlock, it would be fine to me by now. But I need to know for sure, before doing something I could regret later...

3) More, actually: does Asus void warranties of rooted devices at all ? (explaining: if I send my rooted tablet for repair under the warranty, and the first thing that the Asus tech assistence guy notice is that my device is rooted, can he deny my warranty because that?)

4) And, also: is possible to unroot the device if necessary?

Sorry by all this bunch of noob-ish doubts. I am very thankful for what Pretoriano80 is doing for us, new users of TF700, and XDA is doing for Android users in general. I feel safer and happier with you guys around, seriously :good:

Personally i don't believe that rooting will void the warranty and so far i've seen just one post from a guy that said Asus denied the RMA because his device was rooted.Also i think that warranty may differ from country to country and based on a video i've seen here on XDA it would be illegal for Asus to deny the RMA because the device was rooted,at least in the USA .Also if you don't have any intention to use the Asus Device Tracker app and Asus will log your personal data,that will still be illegal and they couldn't use that to deny the RMA.
To be honest i've always rooted my devices and never had an issue with the RMA on any brand and all i had to do before sending the device in RMA was getting back to stock (that will also unroot the device) and wipe my personal data.This being said feel free to do whatever you think is best for you.

It may be illegal, but they still did it to at least one person, so it's better to disable/remove CMClient anyway.

Does anyone know how long the rootdebugfs process is supposed to take? I've been at the * daemon started successfully * message for about 30 minutes now. I've checked here and couldn't find an answer already posted. Thanks for any assistance.

About 2-3 reboots AFAIR, so 5-10 minutes max. and you should see the first reboot in a minute or two.

If's still at the *daemon* screen, should I reboot the device or start the process over again fresh?

I stopped the process and downloaded the unlocking tool from Asus. When I tried to run it I got a "network error" it then tried to run Asus sync, and then the rooting started working. Says my device is not rooted. So I tried to run Titanium backup, and it said not rooted, need to install busybox. I'll look for that and try again, will post if successful.

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

The process says it was rooted, but when I go to Titanium backup, it says it needs root access and it's not available. Anyone have this issue? It's the main reason I wanted to root the device so I can get a complete backup in case a new upgrade takes out my flash video access.

I had to install SuperSU--update binaries, and Superuser Update Fixer and force fix. I did the rooting process about 6-7 times til I could get it to stick (Superuser issue). Just keep at it. Also, just install BusyBox from Play store and run it.

welcome all,
i buy some days ago tf700t in china and like to use android market so now I'm trying to change SKU from cn to ww.
I tried wolfs method no2 - without root and with ww blob - all as he wrote - finally on the end, after reboot - asus starts, show flashing bar - but after, less then a minute (bar moves only a little) pad restarts and works as before with old china version - without any change
any ideas?
maybe use older blob (i was using ww.26) or maybe newer .30?

or should I try method no1

    ** All-In-One Guide For Asus Infinity (TF700) - Rooting/Unlocking/NvFlash/Custom Recovery Install/Recover from Soft Bricks/Downgrading Firmware/Factory Restore/Various Tips &Tricks **

    Warnings:
    * I'm NOT responsible for any damage caused to your device by using these tutorials so use them on your OWN risk.
    * Don't use the TF101&TF202 NvFlash solution/files or you will end-up with a very expensive brick.
    * UPDATE [23/09/2012] AndroidRoot.mobi team released their tool to make NvFlash working on our device.If you want to unlock your bootloader and stay safe than i strongly advice to use this tool after unlocking,and before starting the "happy flashing" of custom roms and stuff,getting access to NvFlash will make your device BrickProof
    * If you intend to use NvFlash please STAY AWAY from the 9.4.5.30 UPDATE

    ***This is a collection of guides collected from different threads on XDA Forum so credits goes to the original posters and all the people that shared precious knowledge here on XDA.Big THX to everyone.***

    ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

    *** Rooting Your TF700 with Debugfs automated root ***

    *This method works only with ICS roms

    Note: Rooting will NOT void your Warranty!!!
    Before you start make sure that:
    * USB Debugging is activated (on your device go to Settings/Developer Options/USB debugging)
    * Unknown Sources is activated ( on your device go to Settings/Security/Unknown sources )
    * Make sure no other Android device is connected to your PC

    * Make sure Asus Sync Tool is not running on your PC

    ========= Rooting procedure =========

    1) Create a folder on your desktop an name it " TF700 Rooting " (you can use a different name but i will use this name in this guide)
    2) Download Asus USB drivers and Debugfs automated root from here
    3) Extract the downloaded files to TF700 Rooting folder
    4) Power ON your device and connect it to a USB port on your PC
    5) If Windows is asking for the drivers point the driver installer to the Asus USB drivers in the TF700 Rooting folder ... if not, install the ADB drivers from Windows Device Manager (if you don't know how to do it then you better stay off from rooting your device)
    6) Open the TF700 Rooting folder and run RootDebugfs.bat (right click --> Run As Administrator)
    7) Select option "1" and press "Enter"
    8) Follow the instructions on-screen

    DONE, if you did everything right your device will be rooted.


    *** Rooting Method For Unlocked TF700T Devices ***

    *This method can be used to root UNLOCKED devices on Jelly Bean.

    ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************


    *** Unlocking with Asus Unlock Tool ***

    Warning: Unlocking WILL VOID the Warranty for ever and that's NO WAY to get back to a ORIGINAL condition/state.Also thats no reson to complain with Asus on this because the improper use of the Unlocked Bootloader could really damage your device (eg. bad kernel,bad overclocking ,flashing wrong stuff ... etc) .So read people,read and instead of flashing first and asking for help later just do the opposite,ask/read first and then flash.
    Also,after UNLOCKING your bootloader you WON'T BE ABLE to receive OTA updates anymore,but you we will still be able to update your firmware manually ,using the latest Official version available on Asus site.


    ** Why unlocking? **
    Unlocking the bootloader will give you more freedom to "play" with your device and more options to make it better.Here's why:
    - Fastboot Mode will be now available (used to install recovery and more)
    - You can install a custom recovery (you can install custom roms, do nandroid backups,etc)
    - You can install custom roms (improved user experience)

    Here's the Guide To Unlock Your Bootloaderhttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1795156

    ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

    *** TF700 NVFlash tool ***

    ** What's this? **
    NvFlash it's using "low level" access to your device (via APX mode) and it's the only tool that can help recover even from hardbrick but it's not provided or supported by Asus in any way,on the contrary,they are trying to do their best in order to stop us from using it,so basicaly without working NvFlash the only way you could recover your device from a hard brick would be sending the device to Asus and pay them for the repair.
    But AndroidRoot.mobi team managed to get NvFlash working on our Infinity so you now have the possibility to make your device BrickProof,so a big THX to them.

    Just follow the links bellow and please stick with the guide that AndroidRoot.mobi team provided,you will be just fine.

    XDA original thread - [TOOL][BRICKPROOF]TF700 NVFlash release!
    AndroidRoot.mobi team blog - NVFlash for Tegra3 – Transformer TF700T

    Need Help with NvFlash? - Ask Here

    TIPS/TROUBLESHOOT

    * You are trying to flash the AndroidRoot bootloader but your device doesn't get recognized by Windows?
    * Your device is recognized in Windows Device Manager but your FastBoot commands are failing?
    * Your device is recognized in Windows Device Manager but you can't get Wheelie or NvFlash to work?

    Most likely the above issues are the result of a missing or bad driver installation and the best way to fix is to manually uninstall the drivers from Windows Device Manager and manually install the drivers from the "Universal Naked Drivers" pack.
    Also if you feel tired and it's late night ,maybe you should just get a good sleep and try NvFlash again tomorrow. :D

    * You are trying to "bootstrap" NvFlash mode using Wheelie, but it keeps saying that "blob.bin is not found" when running "$ wheelie --blob blob.bin " command.

    Just copy the "blob.bin" file from the "AndroidRoot" folder ,wich you can find on your internal storage and paste it in the same folder where Wheelie and NvFlash are located.

    * When running the "$ wheelie --blob blob.bin " command on my PC with Windows7 i get an error saying " $ is not recognized as an internal or external command"


    Just remove the "$" from the command,it's not used on Windows OS.

    *** Custom Recovery Installation ***

    Warning: Don't use Rom Manager to install a CWM Recovery,it will soft-brick your device!
    Note: ATM there's only TWRP Touch Recovery available for Asus TF700 but works great .THX to TeamWin for their work .
    UPDATE (14/09/2012) : CWM Recovery is also available now.THX to dasunsrule32

    ======== TWRP Recovery Installation ========

    TWRP recovery works on both ICS and Jelly Bean firmware and it's an unified version for 32GB/64GB TF700T
    There are two installation methods,the easy way using GooManager app and the hard way using Fastboot or ADB commands.Let's see how both ways work.

    ** Using GooManager **

    1) Install GooManager from the Play Store
    2) Open GooManager and provide root permissions
    3) Hit Menu (or the button with the 3 dots on your screen) and then Install OpenRecovery

    ** FastBoot Method **

    1) Install Android SDK
    2) Download TWRP Recovery blob and check the MD5 sum (don't skip MD5 check,is there to make sure the file is not corrupted)
    3) Rename the downloaded file to twrp.blob and put the file in the same directory as your fastboot.exe (unless you have /platform-tools in PATH then you can flash from anywhere)
    4) Turn off your device and boot to fastboot (power on while holding volume down, then select the usb icon and hit volume up to confirm)
    5) Plug the device into your computer
    6) Run the following command via the command line:
    fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob

    (more on fastboot http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot )

    Here are more links/guides on how to install the recovery:
    http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/105
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1798586

    ======== ClockworkMod Recovery Installation ========

    ** FastBoot Method **
    1) Install Android SDK
    2) Download CWM Recovery image from the original thread and check the MD5 sum (don't skip MD5 check,is there to make sure the file is not corrupted)
    3) Copy the downloaded file in the same directory as your fastboot.exe (unless you have /platform-tools in PATH then you can flash from anywhere)
    4) Turn off your device and boot into fastboot mode (power on while holding volume down, then select the usb icon and hit volume up to confirm)
    5) Plug the device into your computer
    6) Run the following command via the command line:
    fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img
    fastboot reboot

    *** Factory Restore after a softbrick/Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore ***

    When You Need This?
    * if you get stuck on Asus boot screen (the one with the spinning wheel)
    * If you don't like JB and you want ICS back
    * if you want to get back to a clean stock firmware
    Note: You need to have a working recovery (stock or custom) in order to use this method.

    ========= Recover /Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore with stock recovery =========

    1) Download the desired Asus stock firmware (based on your SKU,eg. ww 9.4.5.26 ) *** to downgrade from Jelly Bean you need the 9.4.5.30 firmware***
    2) Extract the .zip file somewere on your desktop (the result will be another .zip file,use it for step 3)
    3) Rename the extracted archive to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.ZIP" (without the " ") and upload it to a MicroSD card
    4) Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use this button combination to Power ON and go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume Down and POWER togheter for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume UP before the 5 seconds expire.
    At this point the device will go in recovery and should start updating your firmware .

    Note: Keep in mind that Windows doesn't show the known file extensions so most users don't have to put the .ZIP extension in the filename.


    ========= Recover /Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore with custom recovery =========

    1) Download the desired Asus stock firmware (based on your SKU,eg. ww 9.4.5.26 ) *** to downgrade from Jelly Bean you need the 9.4.5.30 firmware***
    2) Extract the .zip file somewere on your desktop
    3)Rename the file to something like "recover.zip" uploade it to the root of your MicroSD card
    4) Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use this button combination to Power ON and go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume Down and POWER togheter for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume UP before the 5 seconds expire
    5) From the recovery menu press Install and select the "recover.zip" file ...wait until the install process ends and then restart your device.

    Note: Keep in mind that Windows doesn't show the known file extensions so most users don't have to put the .zip extension in the filename.

    ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************


    *** Firmware Downgrade & SKU Change ***

    WARNING : Please keep in mind that this method is highly experimental on Asus TF700 but still was tested with success on TF 300 so should work on TF700 aswell, but you have to use the blobs for TF700 not the ones from the original thread. Use it on your own risk and please report here in any case.

    ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************


    *** Volume&Power Buttons combinations ***

    Use this buttons for getting access to Recovery,Fastboot ,APX ,to do a Cold Boot and Wipe Data.
    Note: Make sure your device is OFF before using this.

    ** Boot To Recovery **

    Press Volume Down + Power untill you see a white text on the screen then release the buttons and press Volume UP (you have 5 seconds to do it)
    Note: This works for both Stock and Custom recovery.
    Note 2: On Jelly Bean you will have to press Volume UP right after the four icons (3 icons if you are still locked) will show .


    ** Cold Boot - FastBoot - Wipe Data Menu **

    Press Volume Down + Power untill you see a white text on the screen then release the buttons.Use Volume Down to navigate and Volume Up to confirm your selection.You have 10 seconds to make your choise,or else the system will do a Cold Boot by default.
    Note: FastBoot mode is available only if you unlocked the bootloader.


    ** Boot to APX mode **

    Press Volume Up + Power for 5 seconds,the device will vibrate and your screen will be OFF.
    Note: APX mode is needed if you want to use NVflash.
    Note 2: Press Power button for 10 seconds to exit APX mode

    Tips&Tricks / Frequently Asked Questions [18/08/2012 ]

    **** Tips&Tricks / Frequently Asked Questions ****

    [ Q ] I've just bought my device and my battery is empty/almost empty,do i have to charge it for 8 hours before i can use the tablet?
    No,you don't have to wait 8 hours before start using your tablet just plug the charger and wait until it get to 10-15% of charge then you can start using your tablet.Mostly it will need 2 - 3 hours for a complete charge and you will see a green light led when the battery is full.

    [ Q ] I'm planing to let the device charge overnight,is there any risk of overcharging and battery damage?
    No,there's no risk of damage for your battery because once the battery is full it will stop charging so overcharge is not possible.

    [ Q ] My battery drains very fast ,is there a way to improve battery live?
    IMO battery life depends very much on the way we use our device so i guess there is no real answer for this.Many users are asking about battery life and how to improve so have a look at this threads:
    Asus Transformer Pad Infinity Battery Life Discussions Thread
    [HOW-TO] Battery saving tips

    [ Q ] Do i always have to full discharge the battery before charging again?
    Usually this is not needed for ion-lithium battery but if you do it once in a while it will help for better battery calibration.

    [ Q ] Keyboard Haptic feedback doesn't seem to work even if that option is active
    On your tablet please go to Settings / Language&Input / Android Keyboard Settings / Advanced Settings / and make sure that "Keypress Vibration Duration setting" is set to 60ms or more.

    [ Q ] The speaker is not loud enough,it's there a way to make it louder?
    Many of us are using Volume + and it works very well on TF700 so you should give it a try.Also you can find more info here

    [ Q ] No Audio when watching an .MKV movie with the stock player
    Many .mkv movies have DTS audio and this format is not supported by the stock player so you will have to use a 3rd party video player.Try BSPlayer,it supports DTS audio and many other formats.

    [ Q ] I get very low benchmark scores
    Go to Settings / Developer Options and disable " Force GPU rendering " option

    [ Q ] My screen constantly adjusts brightness even if auto-brightness is disabled
    Yes,that is a "feature" called Dynamic Contrast but not all of us like it.Follow the directions from this post to disable but keep in mind that your device must be rooted.

    [ Q ] Minimum brightness level is to low when Auto-Brightness is ON,how can i change that?
    If your device is rooted you can easly change the brightness level for Auto-Brightness mode,see this post

    [ Q ] I'm having issues getting my MicroSD card to work with TWRP Recovery,possibile reasons?
    That could me many reasons for this kind of issue but one reason could be a bad formatted card,see here

    [ Q ] I have TWRP recovery installed and i would like to use an app to Reboot to Recovery,it's that possible?
    Yes it's possible but NOT recommended because the application must send a custom command so if your recovery got corrupted somehow you could end-up with a bricked device...here's more info

    [ Q ] I feel like i'm ready to try some Custom Roms now,are there any available?
    Yes,our great user/dev are always trying to give us the bet for our device have a look at this Index thread

    [ Q ] According to my battery stats,Wi-Fi connection drain my battery a lot,is this true?
    Not really,the default battery stats are not accurate so probably it's showing wrong values so don't panic and read here

    [ Q ] Stock recovery doesn't recognize my MicroSD card, any idea why?
    Please make sure your MicroSD card is formatted in FAT32.

    [ Q ] I don't need/trust the Asus Device Tracker service and i would like to disable it,is that possible?
    Yes is possible to disable that service but keep in mind that is not yet confirmed if other services will be affected (OTA update or Bootloader Unlocking) and also your device must be rooted.You will find the disabling procedure here.

    [ Q ] I would like to update the device via OTA update,any recommandation before i proced with the update ?
    Some users reported isues (mostly boot looping or update failure) when applying and update on systems where system applications were disabled/freezed so i recommend you to enable these apps in case you have them disabled.

    3) Right Click and select " Update Driver Software " and choose " Browse My Computer for driver software"
    4) Now click on " Let me pick from a list of device driver " and select " HAVE DISK "
    5) BROWSE to the folder where universal naked drivers are located and select "android_winusb.inf " if you are trying to install the FastBoot or ADB driver or choose " android_apxusb.inf " if you are trying to install the APX drivers.
    6) After the installation is done reboot your PC

    * If Windows give you a big red warning about the driver not beeing signed just ignore it and go ahead installing the driver.
    *Also you should disable UAC if it's enabled.

    Thanks so much for the guide. I was using the LCD Density App and that thing jacked my Infinity up big time. I will never use that application again. It wanted SuperUser clearance to save the Pixel Density, then when I checked Save & Reboot, my Infinity never turned on again. It just got stuck at the ASUS screen and wouldn't turn off. If I tried to power down, it just turned back on and stuck at the first Asus Screen.


    I used the following directions and was able to get back to stock firmware.
    Thank god.


    *** Factory Restore after a softbrick ***

    When You Need This?
    * if you get stuck on Asus boot screen (the one with the spinning wheel)
    Note: You need to have a working recovery (stock or custom) in order to use this method.

    ========= Recover with stock recovery =========

    1) Download the latest firmware from Asus site (based os your SKU,eg. ww 9.4.5.26)
    2) Extract the .zip file somewere on your desktop (the result will be another .zip file,use it for step 3)
    3) Rename the extracted archive to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE" (without the " ") and upload it to a MicroSD card
    4) Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use this button combination to Power ON and go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume Down and POWER togheter for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume UP before the 5 seconds expire.
    At this point the device will go in recovery and should start updating your firmware .



    So yeah, thanks for this guide and beware of the Pixel Density Application. I know someone from here created it, but It could not have been more clear that it messed my tablet up since I had never had a problem until I gave it SuperUser Clearance then it never turned on again.
