[Thinkpad Tablet Android Development] pauloviegas:
sorry for the spam but I need to share this as my rooting experience was really traumatic, in any case I made it thanks to the help of the guys in this forum:

http://www.thinkpadtabletforums.com...yareftpt-yet-another-root-exploit-for-tpt/75/

Here's the copy of my steps, if anyone had the same experience or difficulties I hope my steps can help:

I'm on my 3rd day (lost count on the attempts to root )

download script here

So I did all as it was shared in this forum

Factory reset (within Android not in recovery) -> done

(before starting the normal welcome config I went to settings doing:

Debuging -> done

disconnecting internet -> done

reboot in recovery and doing the requested two physical steps on the TPT:

Go to apply update, select the update from the sdcard and try to apply it. It will fail, but that is OK. -> done

Then, go to 'WIPE CACHE PARTITION' and select it (navigate with volume buttons and select it with power button) -> done

after I went manually doing the script has mentioned herewith and these were the results:

At the end I saw all these errors and got really frustrated, however , after reboot I realised that the super user app is installed!!!

1st thing I've went to do was to install system tuner and uninstall all Lenovo apps, and I mean all!!!

The only odd is that the SU does not connect to the internet to update the binary, should I worry?

If you ask me, I've done this exact same thing all the times without any difference for the last 3 days, the only difference today was to have now execute the script manually ...

Anyhow, thanks to all which have tried to help me specially to opdecirkel not only for this great breakthrough but for the personal care he took, THANKS!!!

PS: Now I enjoy so much more my TPT! Great peace of hardware
