[CWM][6.0.2.3 / 5.5.0.4] Official CWM Recovery for JB/ICS + ROOT

[wideopn11]

I know we just got this yesterday, but are there plans to add the touch recovery or do we need to wait for Koush to add support?

Already tried a few times.

When I plug the TF300T again, the device manager recognizes a Fastboot device, then it installed the Android ADB driver.

I will try it tomorrow or the day after with Win 7.

It's not my tablet, so I don't have unlimited time for experiments.

im getting the -i is not a valid command on windows 64bit i dunno what im missing re-installed sdk and java im so lost this is new to me using fastboot


update: got it working i deleted the files from my adb folder and replaced them and it worked....

Hi XpLoDWilD, first of all, thanks for all your hard work!

Couple of questions:

- Can the CWM be installed on any firmware? I assume yes, but just to confirm.
- Does the root program works on any firmware? Do I need to be on .17 as with the SparkyRoot app?
- Do I get OTA afterwards if I do this?

Thanks again, I just got my TF300 and I certainly want to install CWM and root, but want to make sure I do it right.

- Yes
- Root zip file is totally version-independant, since it relies on CWM
- I don't know, but I think so (unless they prevent unlocked tablets from getting upgrades)

No OTA updates. But we wont need them.

 

[Northern-Loop]

I have tried the manual updates and they also fail to install

If you are having an issue this is what I did...

1) I was rooted/unlocked on .17 (can't get OTA if unlocked)
2) Place the .29 zip from Asus website and root-update.zip onto sdcard
3) Follow directions to flash CWM
4) Flash the .29 zip in CWM and reboot
5) Shut down and follow the OP again to reflash CWM
6) Boot to recovery and flash root-signed.zip
7) Profit

quickest and easiest CWM recovery install I ever did thank you! Now can we use something like quick boot to boot straight into CWM. I ask because some of my other devices would boot loop if it didnt work?

You can flash the .29 blob file from ASUS in CWM recovery? Or is there a new package I haven't seen yet?

 

[Archangel]

As far as I know you cant flash a blob file in CWM you have to use Wolf's method to install blob files

 

[pyro43284]

You can use this free app to boot into recovery tested it on mine and it works transformer reboot to recovery

What about titanium backup and rom manager? Both of those have options to boot into recovery, will they work?

Great guide, I had to downgrade to .17 and factory reset to get it to unlock, but this part was pretty quick. I'm still amazed at how this stuff works even though I've done this to a few devices already. Probably because I have no clue how to do what you devs do. Keep up the great work, it's appreciated!

XpLoDWilD or anybody w/ the means, Has a YT vid been thought of yet?

 

[Archangel]

This should do it for you, let me know if it doesn't.

Thanks for the great work. Unlocker didn't work initially (have C40KCT serial) on my rooted .29. I did a cold boot and factory reset to see if I could unlock on .29 instead of having to downgrade to .17. Unlocker worked and now CWM and rooted.

yep, once your 300 is unlocked, your warranty is void. no more OTA updates. No support from Asus. Also dont try to flash an official asus blob file/update or you will likely brick tablet. as this has happened on prime.

thanks for bringing this to the 300. maybe now these 300 owners can stop making threads in prime forums..lol keep up the great work.

@the person asking for touch recovery already, slow your roll jabroni..lol it'll come. be patient.

Jabroni LOL would that be the rock's saying?
