[Q] Back to stock

[Frazzy]

Hi all,

I am a HTC guy and I'm not that familiair with the Asus way of flashing things.
So just to make sure I'm not doing something wrong here.

I want to go back to full stock including recovery and stuf. I have a WW version of the TF701.
What I found online is this:

- Flash http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3210 in recovery.
- flash latest WW update from Asus site.

Is this the correct and safe way?

Thanks

Yep. That should work. Flash stock recovery, then flash stock rom.

Stock recovery? Is that included in the file from Droid basement?

Nope. But the flashable stock recovery is on the same page you posted.
CWM won't flash the stock firmware - I thought. But Droidbasement says otherwise... Try it and let us know!

AH, glad I asked it.. So I must:
- flash the recovery from droidbasement in CWM
- flash the ROM from droidbasement in the flashed recovery
- flash the latest ROM from the asus site

That's the right order?

I haven't looked at your link but I don't think you can flash the stock recovery from cwm. You will need to fastboot flash the recovery from your computer.

The instructions at Droidbasement state that the 4.3 OTA is flashable from CWM. But you have to be on the latest version 6.0.5.1.
Maybe they fixed it. With earlier versions it was not possible to flash Asus firmware in CWM, but these guys know a lot more than I do, so I would trust them.
You do have to be on the 10.26.1.18 bootloader though!
The site states it's a full system/kernel flash so it probably won't replace CWM with stock recovery - don't know.
Check once you flashed the OTA.
And don't forget to wipe /data in CWM before you flash anything.
