[TOOL]"1-Click Transformer Root"-Root/Unroot/cwm/stock rec-TF101(G)/201/300T(G)/SL101

This may be the first completely automated tool for getting root on any ICS Asus Transformer - TF101 / TF101G / TF201 / TF300X / SL101 for all ICS firmware including the latest TF101(G) 9.2.2.6 / 9.2.2.4 and 9.2.1.27 / 9.2.1.25 / 9.2.1.21, TF201 9.4.2.28, TF300T 9.4.3.30 and TF300TG 9.4.4.40.

You can use it on any SBKv1 / SBKv2 / SBKv3 tablet including B70 / B80 / B90 as it is not NVFlash based.

Your data stays intact and OTA functionality is not lost. No more need to downgrade to get root.

You can also use it for flashing CWM recovery or returning to Asus stock recovery ( to re-enable OTA ). (TF101(G),SL101 only)



UPDATE 16-Sep-2012 - CWM updated to Rogue XM Recovery 1.5.0 (CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.8).

Please download latest version of tool and extract to a new directory and run the tool and select option 3 (Install CWM recovery).

UPDATE 21-Aug-2012 - Segmentation fault fully fixed; unroot improved; Superuser replaced with SuperSU.

UPDATE 16-June-2012 - Version 1.1 out. All tablets supported, all ICS. TF101(G),TF201,TF300T(G),SL101!

v1.1 Uses a new exploit method and is much quicker and simpler. For the TF201/300X, only root/unroot options exist, no recovery installation. Everything works for the TF101(G),SL101.

UPDATE 15-June-2012 - Version 1.0 out for TF101(G)/SL101 only. Added unroot option.

- Before running this tool please kill Asus sync or any other tool that may be starting any competing ADB instances.

Please post your experiences and vote in the poll above. It'll be very helpful to improve this tool! Please try both versions of the tool and get some help in this thread before voting NO :fingers-crossed:
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

1. If you're on a standard tablet and just need root (TF101(G),TF201,TF300T(G),SL101)

- Step 1. Download and extract
- Step 2. Run "1-Click Transformer Root.bat" and let it continue over multiple reboots.

- You'll be root. And with stock Asus recovery.



2. If you have root and need Asus stock recovery. (TF101(G),SL101 only)

Why? To enable OTA and/or return to stock like conditions

- Step 1. Run "1-Click Transformer Root.bat". (v1.0)

- Step 3. You'll be presented with a menu. Choose option (4)

- You'll have stock Asus recovery

3. If you have root and need CWM recovery. (TF101(G),SL101 only)

Why? Nandroid backups and restores. Debrick. Flexibility. Numerous other reasons. ( but no OTA)

- Step 1. Run the tool "1-Click Transformer Root.bat". (v1.0)

- Step 2. You'll be presented with a menu. Choose option (3)

- You'll have CWM Recovery

4. If you have root, you can also choose to unroot (TF101(G),TF201,TF300T(G),SL101)

Why? Taking your tablet back to Asus for warranty. Uninstalling all changes done by this tool.

- Step 1. Run the tool "1-Click Transformer Root.bat" ( Either v1.0 (TF101(G),SL101 only) or v1.1 (TF101(G),TF201,TF300T(G),SL101))

- Step 2. You'll be presented with a menu. Choose option (1)

- You'll be unrooted. This will delete all trace of changes made by this tool.

- If the tool finds the stock Asus recovery file for your tablet, it will also flash the stock recovery.

- Unrooting only makes sense if you're otherwise on stock ROM and obtained root using this tool.

5. If you have root, you can reboot into recovery (TF101(G),TF201,TF300T(G),SL101)

Why? So you don't have to press Vol and Power buttons etc to get into recovery / ROM Manager can't reboot to recovery in the Transformer.

- Step 1. Run the tool "1-Click Transformer Root.bat" ( Either v1.0 (TF101(G),SL101 only) or v1.1 (TF101(G),TF201,TF300T(G),SL101))

- Step 2. You'll be presented with a menu. Choose option (2)

- You'll be rebooted into your current recovery, whatever it is.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

You will be presented with the menu only if you have root, else root in one step! :highfive:

You can run it multiple times to retry if it fails for any reason. It cleans up after itself.

Following are some stock Asus files, rest are in the second post. (TF101(G),SL101 only)

There's no need to manually download your firmware specific file from here. The tool should do it automatically.

Recovery blobs (TF101(G),SL101 only)

This section is for the TF101(G),SL101 only

There's no more any need to manually download your firmware specific file from here. The tool should do it automatically.

- These are the stock recovery files needed for switching recoveries between CWM and stock.

- If you're behind a proxy, then don't double click the tool, open a DOS command prompt and cd to the '1-Click Transformer Root' directory and type:


to run the program.

- If you don't have internet, then fret not, you can manually download the Asus stock recovery from the second post and extract it in the 'Source' folder. Even if you don't do this, you will still have root.

THESE FILES ARE NOT NEEDED FOR GETTING ROOT, ONLY TO SWITCH BETWEEN CWM AND STOCK RECOVERY

SWITCHING RECOVERIES FEATURE ONLY WORKS ON THE TF101/TF101G/SL101

These are the stock Asus recovery files:

Here's a guide for others like me who need step by step instructions.

This process is done from your Windows computer with your ASUS TF101 connected by plugging the proprietary end of the charger into the tablet or dock and plugging the USB end (that you would normally plug into the charger) into a USB port on your Windows computer.

- Download and install 7-Zip onto your Windows computer.
- Download the latest version of "1-Click Transformer Root", i.e. 1-Click Transformer Root_1.1.7z
- Use 7-Zip to extract 1-Click Transformer Root_1.1.7z into a directory on your computer, i.e. C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\Downloads\1-Click Transformer Root_1.1
- Make sure your ASUS TF101 is connected to your computer via USB. You might be prompted to install drivers for the newly discovered device. Click through the prompts.
- Open the directory you extracted into on your computer and execute 1-Click Transformer Root.bat
- You will see the following:
===========================================================
1-Click Root and/or Recovery Flash for TF101/TF101G/SL101
===========================================================

This tool will root your tablet automatically.
It only works on the TF101G, TF101 and SL101 models ( not TF201 etc)

Please make sure USB debugging is enabled in
Tablet - Settings - Developer Options

Please let this process complete over multiple automatic reboots
even if it boots into recovery please let it continue automatically

First reboot can hang. If it stays stuck on a boot screen
for more than 3 mins please reboot it manually by pressing the
power button a little long for off and again for on and let the
batch continue please.

Press any key to continue . . . <- Press the spacebar, the ANY key doesn't exist. LOL!
===========================================================
The Next Screen looks like this:
===========================================================
Killing any running Asus sync instance

You can start it again after this tool has completed.

.
ADB driver installation was started in the background.
Please accept any prompt to install the drivers.
.
If automated installation doesn't work then you can install drivers manually
from the adb-drivers directory.
.

Waiting for device for first step...

If you didn't have drivers then this can take up to 5 mins
===========================================================
- If the program doesn't progress after 5 minutes, you'll probably need to go in an manually install the ADB drivers.
- CTRL-C to cancel out of the installation. Follow the prompts to exit. --> ^CTerminate batch job (Y/N)? Y

- Navigate to the directory you extracted to and find the ADB driver folder, i.e C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\Downloads\1-Click Transformer Root_1.1\Source\adb-drivers and execute dpinst_x86.exe <- for Windows XP and other 32 bit Win OS

- Make sure your ASUS TF101 is connected to your computer via USB. You might be prompted to install drivers for the newly discovered device. Click through the prompts.

- Open the directory you extracted into on your computer and execute 1-Click Transformer Root.bat

If this doesn't work....eh. All I know is I managed to get my TF101 rooted using 1 Click today. BONNE CHANCE!

Thanks for your feedback. I have updated the tool with some more descriptive output.

I also added in Slider support.

I shall soon be uploading all the Slider recoveries too.

EDIT - I believe there are no special Slider recoveries. They run the same firmware as the TF101.

hello idcrisis

yesterday i have rooted my tf300tg (ww_epad_9.4.4.40) with the 'one click transformer root 1.1'

my system works fine and i have root now. but when i run the batch-file again i have only the 3 options

1- Unroot!
2- Reboot into current recovery.
3- Quit

i know that is normal, but when i will boot with option 2 in stock-recovery, after a while the android lays down on the back :crying:
it seems the script has broken my recovery...

i dont need cwm, but i want back my stock-recovery (i think i need it for ota-updates??)
any idea how i can get my recovery back? my bootloader is locked...

best regards from hamburg, germany (sorry for my bad english)

Hi,

The tool does not modify your recovery. You're still in stock Asus recovery ( as shown when you reboot into current recovery). The Android icon is ok. The stock Asus recovery doesn't give you a menu or anything of that sort. It's just used for OTAs or full stock ROM installations.

Only TF101/201/SL101 get the CWM installation option and version 1.1 of the tool uses a new method for root which does not touch the recovery (version 1.0 installs CWM and uninstalls it still leaving your current recovery intact).

So you're protected from multiple fronts You're ok. Your recovery is still the stock and you shall get OTA without issues.

That is one of the main features of this tool.

Cheers.
