So I contacted my contact at Asus about nvflash and fastboot - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I have been working with one guy at Asus since I first got my TF101. He has always been very helpful. I emailed him to find out about fastboot, and if they would release nvflash(I even asked if they would release it to developers if they signed an agreement not to redistribute it and used it for development purposes) and this was his response.. Just figured I'd share it.. I removed his name as I dont want everyone and their mother emailing him. lol
Dear Patrick,
I am not sure about NVFLASH tool since it is really Nvidia’s internal tool and they would want an NDA for that.
Unfortunately we only have the UNLOCK TOOL for now and this was difficult even to get released with the legal terms finally approved recently from our legal team.
As of now, I don’t know if legal team will approve developers to have a copy as it is more complex along with our agreement with Nvidia and getting our legal team to approve of that as well.
Thanks,
XXXXXXXX
So it doesnt look good unless someone at Nvidia leaks it.. or they decide to release it.

yup, that is the correct nvflash for our device. has nothing to do with nvidia, they released the tool with support for tegra 3. its asus not allowing the tool to work(no secure boot key im assuming?).
i can connect to the prime in apx mode, nvflash sees it, every command gives a usb write error or just hangs.

But is that up-to-date with what nVidia/ASUS are currently working with? -so yes...
And does the unlocked bootloader fix the USB write issues mentioned? - so no... ASUS is still blocking use...

Well sure, sooner is better, but you're essentially suggesting that someone should go hack one of the retailer's display models to get something we'll all get in a couple weeks anyway.
I'm sure it's not illegal... I doesn't say ohh hey no rooting the display models.... And how cares... You don't even have to root it to do a system dump as far as I understand... It is just easier for the developers to work with when you dump while rooted...

I don't see the point of any pre-ICS dev work if Asus is true to their word.
Understandably, we don't have much confidence in that at the moment.
I mean and im sure even if you got caught I'm sure that if you explained to the manager it was for a good cause he would be chill with it its not like they would arrest you for it lol!

We will have it in a couple of weeks, but why not already have people working on rom's and optimizing kernels for it. So when you get, you can start to mod it. This is a chance to get around a 2-3 week head start on making stuff. Do you know how much can be accomplished within that time?

So if someone was to do a system dump on their own Prime, what tools would be needed besides root explorer and razorclaw?

NVFlash for prime!

I'm not sure if anyone has posted about this. Pretty sure they haven't. It would appear Asus plans on giving us nvflash! You can find the official post in the official gary key product update thread. Here's the quote,
" 4/27/2012 Update -We are still validating a new firmware release. We are also tracking user reported issues with Tegra 3 games, WiFi Direct and some continued random reboot/lock problems with a few units. Based on current regression testing at HQ, NVIDIA and Google it appears we will need to sway out a few units to pinpoint exact user problems. For the unlocked audience, we have requested a version of NVFlash that works properly for users who unlocked their units."
Very glad to see this! Hopefully nvflash will hit soon!

Correct, it should allow total recovery even if you get the unrecoverable bootloader error that some peoples units are suffering from.
It should hopefully aid development of native Ubuntu for the Prime also.

Well sorry but the prime will never be able to run Windows 8 sorry.
I have been waiting patiently for this tool for sometime now, got a rma ticket open eventually and Im considering shipping it back overseas (where I bought it), but after a few reports of packages coming back dented, scratched or deformed, Im a bit hesitent to go ahead. If this tool is near on the horizon, I'll wait it out further. Come on ASUS, nvidia, google make our day!

half assed Halfcab

Halfcab was to root our phone - a simple process according to them. in 3 days they have managed to brick one of our phone and then not properly root the second. Now it is working very poorly. now they have blocked our emails and will not respond to us. According to them a simple download is needed so why are they not responding. Avoid as you probably will not get what you pay for.

I would let the unlimited.io crew or con247 toy around with mine remotely; such has been done during the initial release of the JuopunutBear S-off method. But only because I have observed them to be legitimate developers seeking to better user experiences and knowledge for knowledge's sake. Definitely not some random XDA reader with a website storefront and access to other people's ROMs and tools.
Edit: read the post below this one. Then read it again; it pretty much sums up the situation.
I a firm believer that if you can't root your own device, you should be stock... Hell I'm even against the one click root utilizes for inexperienced users.. part of having root is the understanding that you are now tech support..the only way your going to learn is to do it the hard way. Not by plugging in and clicking root... Ever notice on any forum for a phone with a one click, there's a ton of "help I'm bricked" threads... Funny thing is you never see these before one click is available...kinda hard to become tech support if you have zero knowledge of what a Linux OS is and how to move around with terminal..
Basically I almost don't feel bad for the scam, shoulda took the time to learn what's involved with being rooted...sorry

Rooting with Kingo

So.. I started seeing concerns pop up about Kingo installing Chinese backdoors into phones and PCs..
Has anyone else heard this? can this be confirmed?
I feel I should wait and see where this goes.
Would love to hear what you all think...
I have the same feeling.. I've finialy got around to the site... and it looks legit. ...even the most popular root tool was retired because of (supposed effortless application of the root tool)the dev saying the kingo was easier.
but i wonder too what is the fine print if any.. let's start the conversation.... Although this might be the wrong section.
It is the wrong section. Belongs in Q&A

I too am curious about the "about face".
Be aware that as of this moment XDA has deemed the Kingo root method and Vroot method are not allowed on XDA. There are concerns with the information which is collected during the root method by the exploit. It is not about a continuous malware which may affect your device but about important information shared about your device, serial numbers etc during the root process which could be huge securities issues.
You have all been warned
Have a great day!

I've moved this to Q and A since it is actually a question and not original development obviously... XDA is not doing a reversal at all... the said systems had yet to have a verified developer/s look at them. Now there has been. It seems that this is a VERY unsecure method of root and can open up your pc and phone to well, nasty stuff... the root files come from china... but for those of you who want to play with fire... be my guest...
This is just me thinking out loud...
Personally, I think I would be more worried about the NSA gaining access to our phones. J/K
In all seriousness, I am curious if there is any real evidence that points to anything underhanded happening when using the Kingoapp method or is this just stating that the possibility exists and it is unknown? And, if the makers of Kingoapp wanted to assure us that nothing hinky is going on, what would they have to do to prove it to the XDA community?
I think these are fair questions as human nature in general tends to turn supposition into fact in the blink of an eye so it would nice to know the real facts before anyone starts casting dispersions on them just because the root files are from China.
I do understand the precaution of removing any Kingoapp links in XDA in the meantime. :good:

Kingoapp posted a response to all of the accusations made about their app on their facebook page.
So it seems that what everyone is all worked up about is that part of the information that it gathers from your phone to identify it so that the proper scripts can be downloaded is the IMEI # on the phone. The folks at Kingoapp agree that, that tidbit of information isn't necessary in the identification process and their next version will remove that "requirement." They also explain that they do use "free" servers to store some of their scrips to cut down on the traffic on their servers and the related data download costs. They will also release a version down the road that will include all of the scripts when the app is downloaded to your PC so that during the rooting process, there is no need for the app to communicate with other servers.
As I suspected, people have gone off half-cocked claiming malware is installed on the phone/PC, etc. Someone even posted that XDA said that Kingoapp installed malware (which XDA did not say!) on Kingoapps facebook page.
I wish people would realize that baseless accusations and rumors hurt the cause and could cause companies like Kingoapp, that are providing a free way to root your phone without tripping Knox in one step, to stop development and remove their work from the market.

Great news, and agreed. I've been waiting for things to calm down. I want Kingoapp and root. Seems the best for the time. Not ready to root, yet, but I will and I hope Kingoapp has the update by then.

Please don't come back and say "OHHHH I DIDNT WRITE IT". If you didn't, please don't redistribute such crap... really poor representation of our requests.

Hey buddy hop off. I will say I didn't write it because that's what I want to do. Secondly, maybe you should work on developing and attempting to better the community rather than being an ass hole. Thanks and have a nice day while leaving me alone so that I may do so as well.

If you want to watch thats fine.... but Its an Android Development community. You reposting ridiculous online petitions is certainly not bettering the community and honestly if I can do even a little to keep us from being represented by that piece of **** I will have done a great service.
If I were an executive, and got a letter/petition written like that, I'd just dismiss it as coming from someone having a hard time keeping up in middle school (and who's parents were actually paying for their phone). Seriously, that petition is a waste of time and effort.

Your hearts in the right place man. Maybe just clean it up a bit and make it more professional.
Also... go easy guys...a mod is definitely going to step in here and clean this thread and possibly close it due to the language.
I'm not taking sides... I get where both of you are coming from... just maybe could have been said better is all

I think the other threads died for a reason. It's a futile effort.
I'm pretty sure that I read recently that the Department of Defense just approved the Knox security system. What's that mean? Samsung can potentially sell millions of phones to the government, who is not interested in phones that can be hacked. Now, consider the hacking community. A couple of thousand potential hackers. Which do you think Samsung is more likely to pay attention to?

I have a serious problem with this country if a president spends any time dealing with something as minor as this.

Oh, I don't know.
It's probably a lot more challenging than fixing the VA bureaucracy or trading five very bad men for a runaway soldier.

All I said was lol. I was not the one to post it.
Make that 430 to go.
Just signed the petition. Mr. Hyun & Mr. Mead are probably going to laugh their asses off when they get it, though.
