So I updated to all stock 4.3 GE but can't flash the needed superuser zip. Do I need to flash a custom recovery than root and after that flash stock recovery back? Is there any way to root with stock recovery directly?
Thanks.

Yes, you need custom recovery for root. No need to change recovery back until the next update is due at which time I believe you will have to unroot and go back to completely stock which can be done by running the RUU again.

I believe you would need to flash CWM or TWRP then flash the superuser.zip then flash back the stock recovery afterwards.
can someone post the superuser.zip?

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.
hi guys just want to ask if my idea in rooting the stock lolli will work.
here's what inside my mind.
1. download stock ftf and flash
2. use kernel by venkat "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60564323&postcount=2" and flash via fastboot
3. go to recovery after flashing the kernel and flash the flashable supersu.zip
will this work or not..just asking, tell me if i am wrong.. thank you
No for flashing an custom kernel you need an unlocked Bootloader. For unlocking the bootloader you need root

Mmmm, if he has a TA backup from earlier... this might work...
0. Unlock bootloader
1. download stock ftf and flash
2. use kernel by venkat "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60564323&postcount=2" and flash via fastboot
3. go to recovery after flashing the kernel and flash the flashable supersu.zip
4. Restore TA backup
What do you think? should work, shouldn't it?
I just flashed my way up to M from the Fi-specific L, using the M image from the developers site. I was rooted, but using stock recovery. Everything went fine. So I'm stock, unrooted on M now.
Now I want to root again, (keeping stock recovery), and before I do, I want to be sure Chainfire's original N6 root for L, is still going to work right on M?

As far as I am aware, you need to flash a custom kernel that allows rooting.
I guess you could use flashify to flash a custom kernel and SuperSU v2.49?
You cannot flash a custom kernel using flashify if you haven't got root. You could extract the image and flash the boot.img and fastboot flash it, but still you'd need to get root.
He should just flash a custom recovery. There is no reason to keep the stock recovery. Rooted users really need the support that a custom recovery offers.
Flash you TWRP with fastboot flash recovery twrp.img then boot into recovery from bootloader menu. copy UPDATE-SuperSU 2.50beta and flash .zip like normal... you have root
I had rooted my phone a while back but for some reasons I had to unroot it again because Snapchat wasn't working.
I have TWRP recovery, so can I just flash the Rom or do I have to root again.
Yes u can. And i u want root on the flashed ROM
Just flash magisk via twrp.

So can i just flash the Rom?
Can it lead to bootloop of brick... If I don't root
No. It wont lead to any prblm or bootlop. I tested myself.
