Just one thought for folks who come looking for a solution and find this thread - make sure HTC Sync isn't running on your computer. I used 1ClickRoot last night after unlocking, and it wouldn't work until I remembered that I hadn't killed HTC Sync.

Yes, as it says, I went from the same base exploit that was shown by Dan and was the base for jchase as well.

If your device "bootloops" don't stress, just follow through with the commands as it "loops" ro.kernel.qemu can do funky stuff.

Any chance in the future this can be converted to an apk to install on Prime or a One-click method, per se?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kashban:
Ah, I screwed up. Wasn't aware that there currently is no way to root ICS, so I didn't use root keeper during the OTA :-(.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phoneturf:
Do you think Asus purposely made this update break root? I just realized I needed root yesterday for a couple of apps, and it was after I had already gotten the last update, so I am mad at Asus for this. Just got the TP and debating on whether to take it back before the 30 days is up. I probably will unless they come out with the bootloader unlocker before then anyway, but this will be another factor in my decision.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Yes, they intentionally fix the root exploits. That's kinda their job though is to fix it. I understand but I hate it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
I to understand where they are coming from, its similar to an Evolutionary arms race. Each side does something and the other has to compensate, but it does ultimately lead to better software and devices in the end.

Anyway, where would the fun be if they just handed it to you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] curreyr:
No, there job should be to fix the hardware and shipped software.

If they spent less time trying to lock *our* devices down, then they could spend that time getting it working correct out of the gate.

Plus if they *didn't* lock things down, the talented devs here would be able to actually help them fix flaws they didn't catch ... THAT is the nature of OSS, and yet they want to benefit from using OSS, yet control it (that is what *I* hate).

(sorry about the rant)/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mithent:
I'm totally sympathetic to that, but fixing root exploits should still technically be done - they're security flaws in the platform. It's a privilege escalation exploit. I'm not sure if the Prime root methods could be done on-device without ADB, but it's actually quite worrying that some apps can do that; malware could use the same methods and hook deep into the OS and use privileged functions, bypassing Android permissions security.

This is why we need an unlockable bootloader, so you can get access when you want in a controlled way, rather than having to exploit security flaws. Hopefully that will be coming soon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Yes, apps can gain root access on an unrooted Prime. That could be something seen in some exploit down the line ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phoneturf:
Does anyone know if Asus has announced when the unlocker will be available?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Unfortunately, they haven't said yet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
Remember that rooting a phone is based on security leaks utilisation, to bypass normal protection and force instal of the super user app and binary.

So from a security point of view, yes, Asus work is to close those breaches. People constantly yell on Windows and its security concerns that lead to massive virus infections lol...

And Android should be different? We already have the Java problem (that's why iOS doesn't use virtual java machine to avoid those security concerns).

An exploit used to root could be used to spread a virus that could mess your phone etc..

So yes, those leaks must be sealed, but from the user freedom they are convenient to root.

The real question is that we should have admin access without having to use hacks.. When we buy a computer we have admin access, it should be the same here.

BTW, as I read carefully the various threads, I didn't have problem to keep root, as I knew that first thing to do was to instal Voodoo root keeper..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whitepaw:
Hi,

I rooted the Prime on Honeycomb and used OTA Rootkeeper.

Now I'm on latest ICS and I want to do a factory reset.

(Volume Down + Power on + Wipe...)

Does anyone know, if that will keep the root?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ChristoA1:
Yes, it will keep the root. All a reset does is wipe /data whereas root is within /system.

Hi sparkym3,

Please help...

I followed the root instructions from http://transformerprimeroot.com/transformer-prime-root/how-to-root-transformer-prime-ics/ which apparently uses the rooting method development developed by you.

Before I used the root, I was on the .14 official update and after rooting I noticed that the .14 update made the Prime reboot every so often.

I don't think the root caused the rebooting because another friend of mine has the same problem and he has not rooted.

The thing is, I now want to UnRoot my prime because I probably have to RMA return it because the .14 rebooting.

I was wondering if I can use viperboy's ViperMod PrimeTime http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1427125 to UnRoot my prime even when I used your method to Root?

In other words are the two methods compatible and I will not bootloop or brick the prime?

Please help, thank you in advance :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
Yes, I think his tool will unroot for you. You should also be able to install voodoo root keeper and i think there is an option to unroot the device.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cenonmin:
Thank you for the quick reply sparkym3 :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cenonmin:
Just tried it with viperboys root/unroot and it worked. Thanks sparkym3 :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
I saw in your OP you mention an automated process. I'm guessing its that zip file attached. I lost root the other day from manually installing the .15 sent to me to test out. It erased my backup file from voodoo OTA. Is there an easy way I can use your root tool on the prime itself without needing access to a PC? PC is down ATM. I had used a relatives laptop before to use vipercontrol 4.1 to root before. They were visiting. Or is this automated process you mention still only for a PC needed connection. I wish there was an apk install or something to gain root access again. I'd appreciate any feedback.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
This root method no longer works with the latest version of update. You should use the new method, mempodroid, which you may be able to work out a way to use this from the device. Otherwise, u will need a PC and u can use vipermod primetime if you would like.

Just wanted to report it worked for me, there was a slight hiccup regarding something the shell id (my tablet was bootlooping or something and adb didn't detect it i think), but I just continued to the next step and for some reason adb worked then. Overall pretty simple and works great.

Just did all of the commands manually, no luck...still not working...

I wonder if it has something to do with, I was rooted with jcase's method before ICS, then lost root due to ICS update. I still have su and the binaries on my device from previous root, any ideas? I cannot remove su without root? I'm stuck here, not really sure what to do...

Has anyone confirmed this working on a TP that lost root due to the ICS update?

I am going to try this when i get to work. What do you do when it boot loops? I just want to be prepaired.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tbns:
I lost the jcase root when I updated to ICS, still had superuser app. etc., and this method worked perfectly for me. Used the su file in the first file link in OP, and copied the commands line per line.

---------- Post added at 01:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

Just keep trudging along with the commands. I paused for all the other reboots until it started back up. As soon as I noticed it was boot looping I just kept sending the commands.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bri0710:
I am in the same boat; I had jcase's root prior to the ICS update then last root. I tried the bat file and manually entering in the commands. No luck.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Smurph82:
I don't have my cable with me but if the people that had root from jcase's method

are the only ones that are having trouble which should include myself then we my

have to do a factory reset in the prime first. The main reason I say this is because

I have noticed that all the apps ask for su and are granted because one they are

still in the SuperUser apps db. And two because su is still in the system/xbin

directory. If someone that has their cable and can do a factory reset then try to use

this method it may have a different outcome. I am only guessing as I cannot

test this theory at the moment.

What do you think -viperBOY-

I really want an unlocked bootloader right now. Come on Asus hurry up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
When I rooted my two Android phones i had to install a driver to be able to use adb on Windows. Do we have to do that with the Prime as well or is it plug and play? I have not seen anyone post a link or download to a driver for the Prime.

Followed the instructions precisely as written, and it worked for me using a Windows PC. I was previously on the Nachoroot with Honeycomb and hastily upgraded to ICS and lost root. These commands worked for me, SU and Titantium Backup are working.

I did get the boot loop a couple times while working through all the commands, make sure the screen does not shut off when you fire out a command, there is no indication that the adb command was a success or not.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newellj79:
i hope this doesn't sound to ignorant. im using ubuntu with adb working, shows up fine in device. this method should work just fine in linux right? i guess what im asking is do you think if i tried from windows i would'nt get the permission denied?

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

Thing is dandmcd, got it work having previously rooted honeycomb. See a couple posts up. There must be a inconsistency some where...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Factory reset won't do anything. Because the stuff in the /system partition stays in tact. For example, I had su in /system/bin (after ICS OTA) but the perms on it were wrong and couldn't be changed, so factory reset won't remove that.

I have updated PrimeTime to root ICS (using this method, with permission from OP) and I'm almost done testing it. Just fixing some backend stuff. One annoying thing is that you can't do "adb remount" because the kernel is "secure" so I'm just making a script so you can do "adb shell sysrw" to make /system r/w (even when not root). Give me an hour or so and keep a look out on my Twitter for those who want to test :)

I am happy to test. I will keep an eye on Twitter. Any chance this will fix the problem for those of us who were dumb enough to do the ICS upgrade before unrooting or preserving our root, and for whom the method on this thread appears to be working, but doesn't result in a functional root access?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Yes, that is where I was. Had root, updated to ICS, lost root. My tool has gotten root back for me, but it's not quite ready for you guys just yet. Busybox isn't installing like it should, I'm about to remove it from the build (it wasn't even working in the last version lol).

Because the syntax isn't 100% correct. Wait for the PrimeTime v3 :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
You can try using a 3 line process instead of that line

adb shell

echo "ro.kernel.qemu=1" > /data/local.prop

exit

This should put you in the shell to execute the command (in case there is something wonky with adb).

**UPDATE**

You may also try the below line in the shell, notice the ">>". It was not required for me, but it may actually be the more correct syntax

echo "ro.kernel.qemu=1" >> /data/local.prop
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cykotix:
I was originally rooted on HC as well, lost root to ICS. The OP's method worked for me. The only thing weird that happened was adb couldn't see my device after the first reboot where it started bootlooping. I powered it off, and powered it back on, adb saw the device again and I was able to continue. Also, I used the same su binary that was already in place. I just had to chmod it, cleaned up and everything has been working great. Hope the rest of you get it figured out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
Do you know what permissions su had once you updated to ICS from a Honeycomb rooted device?

Would somebody send me the info for "ls -l" for the /system/xbin directory from a device that previously had root with Honeycomb and is having issues now (may need to get a root shell for it to run).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] John Kotches:
Newellj:

So long as adb recognizes the device it should not matter what the OS is.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cykotix:
It was 755, not 06755. I could "run" su, it just wouldn't get the root shell and subsequently all the permission denied issues. This is likely because it's sticky bit didn't get transfered properly.
