[TOOL]PERI-0.42 One click root+recovery/fix-bootloops+soft-bricks ALL Devices+.27! :D

[Thing O Doom]

TF101, SL101 and TF101G on ICS firmwares anything else is untested.
Also should work on TF201 and TF300T on ICS ONLY!
For Windows, tested on windows 7 x64 bit, xp 32 bit and windows 7 32 bit.
Your data will be retained, unless you wipe in TWRP or something

UPDATE:
Added V0.41 which includes TWRP
Also V0.42 which is even newer TWRP!
apk not working sofar :[

If you have a TF201, or TF300T, this will work still, but you need to replace the included file 'recoveryblob' with a recoveryblob from a recovery from your device (download the .zip file for the recovery you want, and extract the 'blob' or 'recoveryblob' file from it and place in PERI folder, naming it recoveryblob and overwriting the otherone!)


Initiate project-PERI:
Since there's no one-clicks that I've stumbled across, and many people are asking if this-that etc.. works with .24, I've made an easy one-click (ish) that guides you through it and runs the necessary commands.
Thanks to:
Team Rouge (I used their touch recovery version)
Wolf (For his method to flash recovery!)
Roach (Bootloop fix)
Members here for testing help :] (I'm bad about typos...)

Just unzip it to a folder anywhere and run the .bat file!
Works with or without MicroSD, just let the device totally reboot (E.G. don't let any commands run at the splash screen or in recovery.)
Fixed reboot confusion in V0.2 -Didn't fix in v0.2, Did fix in v0.3 though

If I did anything wrong, or offended any devs, killed someone's cat, or something else, Please let me know!

Post here with any questions or problems, I tested this and everything worked fine, but still consider it as final? release candidate 4.
Did it work?
This should do everything needed, and all is included in zip!

If you want to skip any steps that you've already done if you mess up, just unplug the USB and pretend that it isn't throwing 'device not found' errors, then get back to where you were.
If superuser isn't installing but you have recovery, try 'fix permissions' in recovery. -- Fixed (hopefully) in V0.2

Read the readme and run as administrator! Video-tut is here!

Tl;DR: This installs recovery and walks you through rooting your device from total stock. It includes everything you need, download is above.
It also functions as a unbrick for soft-bricks where you can access ADB or if your recovery is bootlooping and won't flash anything.

If you already have root: This tool will work on an already rooted tf to install Rouge's latest Touch Recovery (Reads from internal and external)
--if you're in a bootloop and can boot into android via-cold-boot, this will fix it! --
So if anyone who's already rooted doesn't mind doing further testing on it that would be great, the more reports the better!

If the superuser.zip isn't giving you root (For whatever reason ) try flashing the attached SuperSU I packed.

How to use PERI to root your Transformer!
**coming soon**

Unbricking/fix recovery bootloop:
I added an unbricking help/feature in V0.4 that'll help with bootloops or softbricks. PERI will help you through it.

**If you want to use the 'I'm already rooted just flash recovery' feature, you need to have given adb su access already!!!**

I bricked my tab on purpose using ROM manager to test the unbricker. Seems to work fine, let me know.
It might have bugs though and not work, in which case 'Don't taze me bro!'
I pretty much copy-pasted roach's bootloop fix.

If I helped, click thanks!

Thing O Doom isn't responsible for bricks, dead cats, or thermonuclear war. (Although I will help you with the first two. Seek a bomb shelter if you experience the third problem.)

The .bat is open-source, download the .zip and take a look at the .bat with notepad++, if you like.

If you're having driver issues, give USBdeview a looksee.​

 

[nEUTRon666]

What does it do, exactly ? You are downgrading and then rooting with it ?

 

[Thing O Doom]

No, it doesn't need to downgrade, it just runs wolf's exploit and directly flashes recovery on your tf. All user data is safe.
If it was a downgrade, the filesize would be alot bigger as I'd have to include a stock ROM.

 

[tigerfire25]

tried it on my transformer with the latest .24 update but it could not flash the recovery at first time, got error ..... lemme check again

Edit: got error --- "cannot stat 'recoveryblob': No such file or directory" ---

I am sure that I am using the same transformer as yours as mine was imported from USA.

About Guide

Hi all,
I think ıt should be a more detailed guide.
"Just unzip it to a folder anywhere and run the .bat file!" it seems very easy.
I do not want to offend the developers and Thing O Doom

tigerfire25;
you can try that move the blob file internal memory of asus and try again. I an now at work so I can not try the method. I am just suggesting you, do not hope too much

 

[Thing O Doom]

I tried to make with simplicity in mind, so that really is all you need to do:
1. Make folder and extract contents of .zip into it.
2. Run the .bat file, which then holds your hand through the whole process.
3. ???
4. Profit.

EDIT5: Tigerfire, please try with a MicroSD inserted. This may fix it, thanks for reporting back.

 

[xxanthor]

Done

Done on my TF101G B90 with .24, it worked but:
1) when it tries to reboot the device (twice during the procedure) it doesn't work, i had to do it manually
2) the installation of the Superuser gives an error like it didn't succed but after reboot it was installed

Anyway thanks

 

[Thing O Doom]

Yeah, the reboot to recovery scripts don't work, it's actually just a simple 'adb reboot' command. I couldn't get 'adb reboot recovery' to work, sorry about that, that's why I detailed the manual instructions in there.
The superuser zip might be borked, but 'fix permissions' in CWM usually removes the error, but if it installed I figure whats it matter? XD

 

[magingl]

worked for me o/
I now have revolution HD Rom on my .24 TF101
thanks for your help ^^

 

[jazzruby]

Hi Thing O Doom,
Nice work and thanks

I tried to make with simplicity in mind

You might be able to automate the process a little better by running the PnP Utility ('PnPutil.exe').
e.g.

pnputil -i -a %~dp0\adb-drivers\android_winusb.inf

-a - add package
-i - install package

You can skip the install command (-i) if you like (drivers will now be in the 'driver store' (-a) and installed when device is connected).
PnPUtil - TechNet

The superuser zip might be borked, but 'fix permissions' in CWM usually removes the error, but if it installed I figure whats it matter? XD

You might want to try/use the su pkg from HERE
http://goo.im/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip

It uses a newer 'update-binary' and cleaner/updated 'updater-script' & pkg.

-JR-

 

[Thing O Doom]

Thanks for the pointers, I'll be uploading V0.2 a bit later to fix some of those bugs and automate the process a bit better.

 

[Thing O Doom]

Added V0.2 and Changelog in OP.
Thanks jazzruby for pointers!

@ Thing of Doom

Quarkko,
1. You use the same recoveryblob (Tf101 and Tf101G are very similar, so 3rd method works on both.)
2. You don't need to do anything, as you won't get OTA updates anymore if you install CWM. You can manually flash rooted updates in CWM later if you want to update.
3. Following to the letter, almost 0. You'd have to unplug your tf DURING the flashing of the recoveryblob. (The dd if command)
4. You still can't use NvFlash, since you have a Tf101G, sorry it hasn't been cracked yet.

Clear guide- Use my PERI: one click root and recovery installer (in my sig), it walks you through it and runs the commands for you. Works on the tf101G

Thanks for the reply.

I tried your PERI method! But unfortunately I use XP for these jobs. Should I wait for the xp drivers. Thanks anyway.

 

[Thing O Doom]

You can still use PERI with xp, just not the Autoinstall of drivers portion of it. Hit no when it asks to install drivers, then when it gets to the section that asks if a device shows up, hit no and then it will redirect you to a manual install of the ADB drivers.
All it needs are ADB drivers, which are easy enough to install.

TF101/G ONLY! anything else is untested.
does it mean onnly the g version or only the tf101?
kind regards
gandalf

 

[Thing O Doom]

I'll clarify that in the op. It works with both the tf101 and the tf101G, the slider is untested.

 

[OmarEstrella]

Worked for me.
Asus Transformer TF101 | ICS 4.0.3 | Compilation IML74K.WW_epad-9.2.1.24-20120503
Thank You!

 

[whomps66]

Done on my TF101G B90 with .24, it worked but:

2) the installation of the Superuser gives an error like it didn't succed but after reboot it was installed

Anyway thanks

I have a TF101 serial number starting with 0 and US version. I also have to face with reboot problem twice.
Command Screen say that;
Reboot: Operation not permitted. (both Revovery and Flashing screens)
I used a laptop with operating windows 7 32 bit. After reboot problem, this time I try to exectue the batch file as an administrator but, the laptop can not see the device.

Finally, I reboot my device twice manually. Then, I waited for the final reboot. The final reboot completed. There is no Superuser apk. I get into the recovery menu and I installed by manually.

 

[1234556789]

I'll clarify that in the op. It works with both the tf101 and the tf101G, the slider is untested.

-thanks.. it did it,but no root.-and the recovery- if i trie to go to recovery after pressing vol up i only see the android layinf with a red triangel and exclamation mark.
May i try once more?
Kind regards and sorry for my englisch
By the way :funny comments

 

[Thing O Doom]

Try V0.2, it fixes reboot problems mostly. If it can't see it, then drivers need to be re/installed. Is USB debugging enabled?
So did you manage to get Rouge recovery on there and root?
