This is a compilation of methods used to modify, install and recover your system on the TF101. This is a one click root, ubuntu installer and dianostic/custom set of tools. I did not make any of the ROM's, NVFlash, ADB, aBootimg or any other tools inside of this installer. I just make the user friendly interface and easy to use process for modify your TF101.

Hi there,

Sounds like a great tool and im very interested. Can you dual boot with ubuntu and the current rom?
Does it replace CWM ?

Is thereanything to prepare, before installing etc?

I was also wondering if this just completely wipes the tablet and puts only ubuntu or whether it can dual boot. Dual boot would be awesome.

The system.img file is a nvflashable rom like prime. The ubuntu img is from lilstevie's thread "Ubuntu on the Transformer". As for the Dual-boot with android as default it will be on my next release. Its a long story on this release. I had alot of options for this release, but it would take alot longer to get it all finished. So i released this mini-version just to let people play around with a little bit. My next version with have a bunch of options along with a GUI interface for ADB and NVFlash.

also, i'm already running revolver, would rather keep this intead of prime... is there anyway of installing this without loosing all the data on my revolver install and keeping revolver?

So, what if we did a nandroid on our current rom and pulled the system.img from the backup, would that work?

Hmm :( looks like mine is an sbk3

What would have happened if i had tried to flash this ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

where does this SBKv3 come from? I have not heard of devices with yet another SBK, unless of course you are referring to the SL101 or TF101G, but those devices wouldn't be SBKv3, they would be SBKv1 for those devices, the nonclementure for the SBKs are TF101 SBKv1 (The currently known key) and SBKv2, the definition of them is relative to the device itself, as that is key v1 and key v2 for the TF101

    Just realized its programmed in vb. What version? I have the 2008 IDE from Microsoft installed but I know that the project files change between releases. I may be able to update it for sbkv2 if I can get that basic info.

    EDIT: I have started updating it to use wheelie and nvflash in resume mode. I didn't change anything about ROM's to download, and I probably wont. I just want to get the 1-click installer for Ubuntu working. Someone else can update the rest (if it still messed up). For now my TF101 needs to charge. I'll report back with results.

    EDIT2: Working on the Backup/Restore tab to get that fully working, I feel the tab should get some use.

    @P4d0uch: No this is just a installer. the ubuntu system is from lilstevie's thread. When you see a update on there i will convert it to windows for everyone with a windows machine.
    Im glad everything is working good for yall. Im ganna try to add a automatic update system so you can update the tool, roms and ubuntu filesystem. The ROM section will have list view of various roms available so you can selct witch one you want to install. I am going to also add a backup option so you can backup your stuff befor you flash. Keep in mind this is just a to-do list. Some options may take a couple releases to get added. If yall have any idea's let me know and ill add it to the list.

    I figured out the problem with the boot loops. aBootimg is outputting a corrupt kernel image so i am just going to put the finished img file into the package and take out abootimg from the process. This should fix everyone's problems with the boot loop. Ill have a release out soon.
