[We Need] Working Nvflash.... :(

---

I rooted the galaxy tab using nvflash when it first came out in the US. With nvflash we can flash rooted roms and do full backups. I am trying the same process with the TP but I have ran into some issues. First issue was the drivers would not install. I added the TP device id then I installed the drivers. I tried nvflash --sync command but get a unkown device message. We need a updated nvflash that supports tegra 3. If anyone has an updated version of nvflash please pm me.
Thanks

Edit: I checked online and dev package for tegra platform from nvidia but could not find a updated version of nvflash that supports TP. Are device does have APX & nflash support(Vol+ then power button then hold both 15 secs then release).

might be interesting to try the sbkcheck from rayman

(note: IIRC there was a modified version at androidroot.mobi that could check for a "v3" SBK as well).

its not a driver issue. the drivers that come with the latest version of NVflash are the drivers supplied by ASUS, BUT the PID/VID

try adding these lines to the NvidiaUSB.inf under the x86 and amd64 lines

%USB\NvidiaUsb.DeviceDesc% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4D01&MI_01
%USB\NvidiaUsb.DeviceDesc% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0B05&PID_4D03&MI_02


then force uninstall any drivers (you may even go as far as installing old google ADB drivers) and then try installing the nvflash drivers (with the new lines added)

i was trying to do this, but i cant find my device in hardware list. like literally its not that hahah

This will give us the ability to flash roms right?

I already got the drivers working. Nvflash says unknown device whe you try to use the sync command. We need new version of nvflash.

Yes you can edit system partition and flash with root or custom rom but flashing recovery & boot loader is the main goal.

Yes! Can't wait to root! I had root then it forced the update on me!

So if you have root then apply the OTA, it hoses root?
