Hello,
Since my tf201 was getting really slowly I was thinking of putting a custom rom on it, since those are faster(?) than the stock rom. I found out that androwook is a pretty decent custom rom so I wanted to install it, only 1 problem. I have 0 knowledge of this 'Rooting, flashing, fastbooting..." The instructions on how to install it is useless to me. I managed to unblock it by using the asus tool, but thats as far as I got. I have absolutely no idea what to do now, is there any guide on this forum for noobs instead of experts of how to root and install custom roms?
Thanks
Have you read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26595658&postcount=1? If you come back with specific questions I'm sure you will get help

Be sure you are at the last stock jb rom, and then
0. Backup your data, and make a factory reset
1. Unlock device by executing the unlock app for TFP with WiFi on
2. Install TWRP
3. Install Hairy Recovery & Upgrade Bootloader
4. Install Hairybean 2.2
For step1 and step2, here is the ref
http://goo.gl/oROU2
After installing TWRP, power off your TFP and power on with volumn down until you see a menu showing RCK, volume up to enter TWRP
Follow the instruction of HB after you boot into TWRP(step3 and step4)

Thanks for the info, but I'm stil stuck.. I got the blob file and the fastboot.exe in the same folder, I open the command thingy on that folder, I copy this line in the command "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob" and then it says it is not recognized as a command, programma or hatch file.. I'm starting to think this rooting stuff is nothing for me haha

Did yo navigate to the fastboot folder? For example, if your folder "fastboot" is at the root of C:
Then you have to navigate to C:\fastboot first. --> cd c:\fastboot

Maybe you can try to boot into fastboot mode and connect TFP to your PC, in the command windows type "fastboot reboot"
Check whether if your TFP reboot

If you don't rename it. Then the command should be look like this "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf201-JB.blob"
Now you can flash the rom you like and enjoy it

Not to be a jerk, but how do you have 243 posts and not understand the "search" function? There are like 5011 threads about this EXACT subject already. You can either download the 2.1 update file from HTC, or, if you have truly sent your phone back to completely stock, the OTA should show up in a while. You can also "Check for Updates" from the settings menu. That worked for me the last time I took one back to stock.
Settings > About Phone > Check for Updates. That should give you the 2.1 OTA if my understanding is correct that you are on 1.5 stock.
OK update:

if your fastbooting stock recovery on your phone put it in the tools folder of adb
and then fastboot, it will send it to the phone and then flash, hope this helps.

Screw CWM and ROM manager...take the extra 20 seconds it takes and just boot to recovery by hand. flash TWRP and be done with it.
EDIT: Sorry, here, http://www.techerrata.com/dl.php?path=27&file=PG86IMG-twrp-shooter-1.0.1.zip download that, unzip it and then download fastboot from here: http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s2 then type "fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img" , make sure all of these files are in the same directory....oh yeah, with no quotes.
I must be stupid
I cant get fastboot to work. Does it work on win7 64bit comp? I put the phone in fastboot usb mode and go to the comp and try to run fastboot but all it does is flashes for like a mil sec and does nothing.

You've gotta go to the command prompt....
So, first download and unzip all of the files into a folder called "recovery" (no quotes)....
or click start, click run, type "cmd" then hit enter. then type "cd Desktop/recovery" (no quotes).... then type in the fastboot command I gave you above.
ok, well thank you soooo much for your help, but I still cant get tis to work.
1 How do I get my comp to now to flash the comand to my phone, do i have the phone in charge, disc drive or go into fastboot?
2. the comand you told me to type into the cmd was 1.0.0.IMG BUT the file is 1.1.0.zip
I had a friend that is very smart with cmd promp and he was confused with how running this on the computer -- to get it to the phone.
all we got was an error that it could not find the path
Just follow the guide here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192643
Basically download a recovery rename it to PC86IAG.zip power on using vol down and power the recovery will flash and then reboot and delete PC86IAG.zip.
Or turn off quickboot settings/power uncheck quickboot and then reboot your phone and I bet you will have your CWM recovery, but you need to do the above or a battery pull to do a real restart.

Dont bother with all that cmd prompt crap you dont need to follow what I said. Easiest way is the battery pull then reboot to recovery.

Download that file. (it's TWRP recovery). Rename it to PG86IMG.zip. (if you're on windows, remember that the '.zip' extension won't show, and is already there. So just rename it PG86IMG). Then place the file on the main directory of your sd card. Shut your phone off, and boot into the bootloader. It will scan and find the PG86IMG.zip, then ask you to update. Press volume up to say yes. It will finish. Then reboot. Then shut phone off and boot back to bootloader. Select the 'recovery' option from the bootloader menu. You should then successfully boot into recovery. That's all you should need to do. And as daneurysm said, forget about Rom manager, and do your wiping and flashing manually, from the recovery menu. You'll have less troubles that way.
EDIT: After you get recovery working, flash this http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...echerrata.com/toastcfh/Shoot...d-unsigned.zip, and then you'll be fully rooted. At that point, I suggest downloading "quickboot" app, and you can use that to boot to recovery or bootloader much quicker and easier. Have fun.

Yea, your response wasnt there when I started typing mine. I started typing it, then had to get some pizza out of the oven and cut it up. Then got back to my response. Wasn't trying to steal your thunder or anything. Also, you said to rename it to PC86IAG.zip or something....does that work? I've only used PG86IMG.zip. Just curious if you made a typo, or if you can use either one.

The problem is you let clockwork flash recovery when rom manager per say doesn't support or list the Evo 3D for a recovery to flash. As the earlier poster suggested Quickboot works great

here's just a simple guide on how to flash pretty much any ROM.

How To Install A ROM
1) install CWM Custom recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993454
OR install TWRP custom recovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994662
[At the moment CWM seems to be more stable] [DO NOT INSTALL BOTH! ONE OR THE OTHER!]
2) download rom on your phone and put in SDCARD. [it should already be there, most likely in the "download" folder. OR download the rom to your computer and transfer it to your phone
3. Download the Boot.img Onto your computer
4. Make a folder in C: called android. put he boot.img in it
5. Connect your phone to your computer, and make sure your htc drivers are installed and usb debugging is on. [Setting>Developer options>Then Check USB DEBUGGING]
6. Open Command Prompt (To get there you click start> Type in CMD on search > and then click command Prompt.)
7. In command prompt Type in "Adb Reboot bootloader"
8. That should put your phone into boot loader.
9. Then in CMD type "Fastboot flash boot <C:\android\boot.img>"
10. Once that is done you can close CMD
11.) Reboot your phone, and hold down on the volume rocker at the same time to get into bootloader.
12.) Now go to recovery and press power to click. (In recovery you use volume rockers to go up and down and power to click)
13) *make a backup in case anything goes wrong*
14) Then full wipe (cache, davlik, factory, etc)
15) go to install and find the .zip file of the rom and flash it, be patient it may take a while
16 reboot system and you'll be done be patient for this one too, first boot always takes a while
***NOTE*** some rom have specific directions that may differ from this, so make sure to read them. But this guide is how you install most roms

How To Flash A Custom Kernel
1. Same as ROM. 1) install CWM Custom recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...m.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994662
2. Download the kernal modules on your phone and place them in your sd card.
3. Download the Boot.img Onto your computer ( Could be called something different but on the kernal, the op will usually tell you what to flash in fastboot and what to flash in recovery)
4. Connect your phone to your computer, and make sure your htc drivers are installed and usb debugging is on. [Setting>Developer options>Then Check USB DEBUGGING]
5. Open Command Prompt (To get there you click start> Type in CMD on search > and then click command Prompt.)
6. In command prompt Type in "Adb Reboot bootloader"
7. That should put your phone into boot loader.
8. Then in CMD type "Fastboot flash boot <Insert file name here>" That is boot.img you downloaded, or whatever its called.
9. Once that is done you can close CMD
10. Then go into recovery and flash the Kernal Modules you downloaded and placed into your sd card.
11. Then reboot your device and you should be done.
***NOTE*** This method may change in the future, and some kernals may have some additional insturctions.

By using adb and the fastboot program, found in the sdk-tools, you don't necessarily need S-off for anything. Most of the stuff you need s-off for is avoided using the sdk-tools.

If you are s-on, you have to flash the kernel separately. I'm not familiar with the MIUI rom, but go back and read the installation instructions but it certainly sounds like that is your problem.

This. If you're S-ON, you have to extract the boot.img from the .zip and flash it manually.

How does one manually flash the boot.img?
Sorry I did not see the previous post. I assume you must use a PC for this action and have the fastboot.exe from the SDK toolkit.

Fastboot and adb are two different things.

What version of Windows are u running? I was having similar problems on Windows 8 and I think it was a driver issue. I never resolved the problem, just switched to a laptop running something other than Win8. Worked like a charm then! Are you using Hasoon All In One tool? That may help if ur a little n00bish like me!

yes you need a pc. have fastboot as well as adb installed and working. if you do not have fastboot downloaded and installed, it will NOT work. if you dont have it just google it and it shouldnt be hard to find. Also, you must have the correct drivers installed for the rezound
1. Open the rom.zip file (that you download) and extract the boot.img file to the same directory that fastboot is installed.
2. Put the rom.zip file on the root of your sd card.
the rest is done from the command line
3. In command prompt, run "adb devices" and confirm that your phone shows up. (if yes, proceed) (if not, go back and confirm you have the correct drivers installed)
4. run "adb reboot recovery", wipe, and flash your rom in recovery (self explanitory) if you need help with this part, im sorry.
5. after the rom finishes its flashing process, run "adb reboot bootloader"
6. when the bootloader comes up, run "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
7. after that flashes, you should be good to go. just run "fastboot reboot" and youre done
Alright, so i have an EVO 4g lte and i attempted to root it today. It didnt turn out very well to say the least... I unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP recovery.I then flashed superSU, and at the same time i flashed a custom rom and gapps zip. Then hit reboot. It has not booted up since.. It will just sit at the white HTC screen. i tried clearing cache and Dalvik cache, also did a factory reset. tried flashing cm10 rom onto the device as well as a rooted stock rom. nothing works! the farthest i have gotten was with the cm10 rom and it went to the cyanogenmod boot logo but was in bootloop still. I downloaded the ADT tool bundle but the phone wont show up on the device list. Can anyone help? im completely stumped.. Im fairly new to rooting and custom roms, but i have rooted multiple tablets and samsung galaxy phones and havent had any issues. this is my only phone also, i just gave my backup to my mother because her phone broke... please if anyone knows how to fix this let me know. when i boot into recovery mode it says Tampered and Unlocked at the top as well as S-On. I can also go into TWRP recovery with no problems. just cant use fastboot with my computer (windows 7 PC).
I am pretty sure i know what i did wrong, I flashed SuperSU to gain root at the same time i flashed the custom rom and gapps.. on all the other devices i would reboot after root and then flash the custom rom seperately.. but is there a way to correct my mistake?
Since you are s-on you have to fastboot flash the boot.img/kernel first and then flash CM and gapps
Any questions PM me
OK sorry to be a noob but how do I do that? I used cmd.exe while rooting but now it won't recognize my device. Much thanks for any help!!

If in bootloader type fastboot devices
In recovery type adb devices
See if you get a reply
In fast boot USB menu on the phone, I typed fastboot devices on cmd and it came up blank.

Sounds like a driver issue
1.Uninstall everything HTC from your PC
2.Reboot your PC
3.Plug your phone in and it will load a bunch of drivers
4.Try the command again
If that does not work get the latest drivers from HERE use the ones dated 6/6/13
and don't forget the BMP drivers towards the bottom of post 1

OK rebooting now I'll see if it uninstalled everything.
:fingerscrossed:
OK were connected now, now what? :good:
PC and phone are talking ?
fastboot devices
yes they are talking now. fastboot devices and my phone shows up.
i tried fastboot flash boot.img but it wont recognize the command, i placed the boot.img file into the platform-tools folder inside my C drive. what am i doing wrong? its late at night and im frustrated so i know im screwing something up...
ok good BTW which version of twrp are you using? Let me know before you continue.
pull the boot.img from the rom zip and copy it to the folder you opened your cmd window from
then type fastboot boot boot.img
once it says successful press the power button to return to HBOOT and use the vol keys to navigate to recovery
Once there choose wipe and wipe cache/dalvik cahce/system/data or factory reset depending which version of twrp you are using
then flash CM and gapps
C:\Users\Corey>fastboot boot boot.img
cannot load 'boot.img': No error
thats what i typed in and thats what it said back to me. not quite sure what the problem is.
the boot.img is placed in the same folder as the fastboot application

same thing, cannot load unknown error. also i am using twrp 2.6.0.0
Ok lets try something different at least it will get you up and running
Get twrp v2.4.1.0 from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jewel
put it in the same folder you are using and we will downgrade your twrp for now
copy and paste this in the cmd window
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-jewel.img
then fastboot erase cache
ok got the twrp done succesfully as well as the wipe cache. whats next? i think i figured out what i was doing wrong, i hadnt opened the file directory. cd downloads, cd android files, etc.
should i try going into recovery now on the phone and flash a rom, or should we stay on fastboot and push the boot.img?
Easiest way to open a cmd window is to press shift and right click inside the folder and choose open cdm window here
That way you know you are in the correct folder.
Yeah go ahead and try to flash the boot.img again
