[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JGGW:
one thing that can be counted on is that every firmware update will lead to rooting. To be honest, the roms are quite basic at this point and until the dock is fully functional with a custom rom, I'm not flashing anything... which really begs the question: why root until roms are available?

as a themer, I am anxiously awaiting a functional ROM in order to pull things apart and see what I can do to the mess that is ICS theming, starting earlier will just result in multiple builds and us having to start over and over on different bases with all these firmware updates that are coming out.

my 2 cents, but having patience with such a new device may save you some real headaches. In the meantime, I am patiently trolling and reading up on everything so I am prepared to jump into the prime development when things mature a little.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mekrel:
Adfree mainly, there's a few Android blogs I read that are laden with adverts and my prime struggles to read them and as far as I'm aware, Chrome doesn't have extensions yet for Adblock.

In my opinion, ICS doesn't need themes but then again; I think most themes I've been for the devices I've owned look very amateurish.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] emptyshell:
I use my tablet for work and it needs to be rooted to VPN into work. Without root this thing is useless for me.

Mine came with .21 already installed so I guess I was MOD EDIT out of the box.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jermaine151:
The only 2 custom roms in this forum, without fully functioning docks, are AOKP and CM9. That's because both are built from source. The other great roms here are awesome, have added tweaks above stock and should have fully functioning docks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beavertank:
Because rooting != flashing a custom rom.

Rooting means you have full read/write access to the entire file system. It means you can tweak GPS settings if you'd like, load different i/o schedulers, or even just something as simple as use titanium backup.

Just because you have root does not mean you can even flash a custom rom.

The two concepts are almost totally unrelated.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
I second that, on some devices you can even flash cwm without been rooted.

Root = administrator. You can erase or add system apps, modify system files, use applications that need access to those files (backup, firewalls, system tuners, you just have to search and you'll see). To mod a ROM you need root.

Some people just root for that, and don't even flash alternative roms.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] it2swbrown:
Just saw that this thread was featured on Redmond Pie. Great job Sparky.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
Thanks, hopefully I or somebody else will find a new root method soon and I can get this app updated to work with the latest ROM versions.

The alternative method that I was working on previously was dependent on the kernel bug that they patched with the latest release, so it is also out.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Biofall:
This device came out on December 8th of last year. That's not even close to new.

Neat little apk you got here!

So my question is this: I get my Prime on the tenth of this month from Amazon, which in turn is coming directly from Asus. Will I have an older firmware so that as long as I don't update, I can use this tool?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] omac_ranger:
There's probably a pretty good chance yours will come with .21... In which case you would be stuck like the rest of us :mad:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Deathmo:
Mine came last week from Amazon.de and I had already 21 installed. :rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] collinsac24:
mine came in yesterday and had .15 i believe but i let it update, just now finding out the update cant be rooted yet(dont understand why i didnt do the research first)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Biofall:
Well here's hoping mines outdated!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -RioT-:
To bad outdated might mean bad wifi...

If I remember correctly out took a little bit for the first root exploit to be found.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Biofall:
Considering the "bad wifi" was a software/driver problem, I'm not really worried :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -RioT-:
Mine always worked so I didn't know that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] darhoade:
so happy I can root now

I had the prime and went crazy on the way home with hotspot from sprint and updated my prime to .21 and so i was stuck like most of you. I was thinking I was still in my first 30 days of buying it from best buy so i could take it back..well nope this wont work when they said we will not be getting anymore unless we order them so I just sat and waited and guess what 3 new ones for the arden and elk grove store..I called and they held one for me..I get there and the guy said im so sorry after you hung up someone told me they reserved 3 of them..I told him there is no way im leaving without one as they told me they are holding one for me and also I drove all they way here. This big dude said give me a second and walked around the store and then went to the back and came out with one and said here you go bud I dont take crap from people..so the employee's must have been trying to buy them or what?? I dunno but i got swapped out and guess what it has the .15 on it so this mean happy SU baby..oh also for those that bought there at best buy and paid for the accidental 1 year warranty just take it in after the new pad comes out and they will replace yours with the new one with fixed GPS or they have to upgrade you to the newest model which is the 700 pad? I dunno but in a few months mine might fall and break by accident
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lord_briger:
wait for .21 root!:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cocoabro:
I know it's old news by now, but here's another confirmation that the exploit doesn't work for the TF101 running 9.2.1.17. What sucks is my USB cable is malfunctioning (disconnected lead?) so I can't do anything from the PC :( This was gonna be my saving grace... Oh well, I'll just have to wait for my new cable to arrive next week.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Deathmo:
No you cant root with this app the new 21 update.

Sorry. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Atlas7:
Ok. Thanks...I have root, but you never know! =)... Im fan of vipermod it is really great and easy, but after update 21 You cant root it is same like sparkyroot..! Do you know any working ROOT method for .21 update???
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Deathmo:
No, there is no one untill now.

But you can keep root with root keeper and update and restore root back.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Atlas7:
Yes i have this app(root keeper) =). Ok thanks for infomations! sry for my bad english!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stanglifemike:
Bought mine about a month ago and updated to ICS.. Was on 9.2.4.15 an kept declining he update to. 21 even before I knew it was unrootable simply because I've delt with updates being unrootable on Android phones in the past. I'm really really glad I went with my intuition on this one!!! I used this app to root my still-locked Prime. This is by far the easiest root method I have ever used, and I've rooted a lot of Android phones(plus unlocked WinMo an jailboke Apple) in my time!! Thanks soooo much for this tool!!!! Amazing work an so easy that anyone can do it!!

I do have a question about Root Keeper. If I use that app can I now take the Asus update now still retain root? If so, is it a fail-proof, sure method? Just wondering if it can only keep root on rootable software and just saves you from having to go back through the root process, or if it's capable of restoring root on our latest software update where the root exploit has been sealed up?? Just not going to take any chances on losing root, and not wanting to unlock just yet an void my Asus warranty. I also don't have a major urge to flash roms/kernals on this just yet. My phones I flash as soon as it's possible, but I'm actually pretty happy with my Prime as is. I mainly wanted root so I could back up with Titanium Pro and so I could use Sixaxis Controller App(which I think is simply amazing!!!) I am considering buying the Best Buy warranty though as then it won't matter if I unlock an lose the Asus warranty because Best Buy will cover it no matter what. If anyone as dealt with Best But warranty before then please give me your thoughts/experience with that. Also, thanks for any info that you have on Root Keeper.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
RootKeper will restore root to .21 devices as long as you currently have root and backup that root with the tool (this is the method I used). As long as you only do the OTA and do not manually download the full update from Asus' website it should work fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stanglifemike:
Thanks for the reply!! That's great to hear that it works, and even better that your know from personal experience. I'm going to Best Buy in the morning to purchase their warranty, so I'll probably unlock after that. Another reason I'm getting their warranty is so I can update to the Infinity with they get it. That's a major reason there!! Anyone, thanks again!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
Take note that unlocking voids warranty at least with Asus warranty. Remember that root keeper restores root after .21 update but Asus may block it on the next update. They blocked rooting already on .21
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] farsight73:
Doea this mean all TF101 can use this SparkyRoot apk even if it with latest update ICS?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
Depends on your version read the OPs second post.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] farsight73:
I have the latest update ICS Build v9.2.1.17 it doesn't seemed to work...

So this meant v9.2.1.17 has now way rooting it at the moment??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SickQuilver:
Try the ViperMod Tool!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stanglifemike:
Ok so OTA Root Keeper did restore root after updating to. 21. I tried it after going back to Best Buy and purchasing their warranty. I figured that I could just unlock if it didn't work but it did. With Best Buy warranty I'm no longer worried about losing Asus warranty since Best Buy will replace my device instead of me having to deal with Asus. I'll probably unlock sooner than later now. For anyone else wondering though, I can also personally confirm that OTA Root Keeper does work to restore root on. 21 after updating if you backed up root on previous software version, VERY NICE!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wolf849:
Unfortunately it do not work on TF101G with 9.2.2.3 on board...

I hope that it can be over worked somehow...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Yuretsz:
App is not working with my TF101
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bedoig:
Worked great on my new TF201. Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Scoop3:
What version were you running when you rooted?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bedoig:
It was a C3 unit from GameStop running x.x.x.15 out of the box. Figured I'd hold off on updates until I checked out the current firmware/rooting situation. Updated to the latest .21 now and tried out OTA Root Keeper, which also worked perfectly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Scoop3:
/sigh

Yeah, I got mine like 3 days ago (also a C3 from GameStop), but in my excitement, let it update w/o rooting first... and AFAIK, it's yet to be rootable whilst on .21 ; ;
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bedoig:
Ya, from what I've read there is no known exploit for .21 at the moment. There's always the Asus unlock, but I didn't want to throw away my warranty yet either.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Scoop3:
I'm in the exact same boat T_T hopefully soon someone will find another exploit =\
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -RioT-:
The problem is that every one who could have found an exploit is already unlocked.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] marco5168:
Exploit still not found.

v9.2.1.17 on TF101 doesn't work, shown "Exploit still not found." always. :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
I wouldn't say everyone, and one can still find exploits if one is unlocked since one still has access to the code and OS updates.

I am not unlocked, since I am still waiting to RMA mine for a screen defect and though that should not be affected by unlocking (since it is a hardware defect) I don't plan on taking that chance, and I am currently looking for a new exploit (I released the first root method for the TP201 on ICS). But, I am not finding too much time to work on it around spending time with my family.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clenz:
C'mon Sparky - we need a .21 root and yours is my only option since my drivers won't work.

I have the Asus Transformer prime tf201 with version 9.4.2.21, how do root I?

Please help me

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] musa13:
Unlock bootloader using official unlock tool from Asus. Then use adp to push clockmode recovery. After that you can install rooted ROM. This is only way to do it right now for .21
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Atlas7:
Yes! But when you unlock bootloader you lost your warranty!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] musa13:
That is only way right now, and it could be for a while.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fcortes626:
if you need help i can ask somw of the guys at android forums if they could help. but i dont htink they have a transformer. they did root the samsung galaxy prevail tho.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -RioT-:
Hey that means a lot man thank you. Ill hold off for a wile then. I consider myself lucky with my prime. For one, newegg took its sweet time shipping my preorder so maybe that's why I have had no problems. No screen bleed, decent wifi, everything works fine.I still want to wait a wile before I void my warranty. This is the longest I ever went without a custom rom on one of my devices.

The sad thing is that my root held for several updates with OTA Root keeper and this last time it just didn't restore. Oh well.

Good luck with the exploit and thanks for your work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wideopn11:
This works on TF300 version .17 also!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
Thanks for the update, I have added to the second post that contains a list of supported devices and ROM versions.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Archangel:
Like a dumb*ss I updated to .26! Will give some serious dough when that is rooted!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] maatsby:
.26? do you mean .21? also, there's a downgrade method now, downgrade to a rootable firmware, root, use the OTA rootkeeper, update!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622628
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slopppy:
I think we really need a thread in the Prime forums for this downgrade method. If someone comes in to the forum fresh, it would be very easy to miss the comments pointing to the TF101 thread ...

Anyone know the best way to do that, without taking away from the conversation in the TF101 thread? Maybe even a sticky with a link to the TF101 thread for a while ... would the mods do that?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] maatsby:
good idea. there is a thread already that talks about it, but maybe making that sticky would be a good idea.

also i just figured out that camblue is talking about the TF300 which has a new .26 update that can't be rooted. and the downgrade method won't be of any help because there aren't any .17 blobs to go back to at the moment
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Archangel:
My apologies if I posted this in the wrong area. I just got my tf300 and updated (should have known better) and then saw the root method. Hope the blob gets released soon.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
They will most likely not release the .17 update for the TF300 since they are already on a new version.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Archangel:
so you mean the likelihood of being able to downgrade is small,,,great LOL. What about a smart dev like yourself finding an exploit for the new update, is that possible?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
Somebody finding a root for the new ROM is your best shot it you are already on .26, unless ASUS is feeling nice and wants to release the .17 update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
It looks like I was wrong, they were nice enough to put .17 up on the ASUS support site for the TF300. It is still not confirmed that you can downgrade to it, but it is very likely. Follow the instructions on the downgrade page if you would like to try it out. Here is a link to the ASUS site where you can download the firmware update that matches your device that you can extract the blob from.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Archangel:
I was hoping for this when I saw it, Keep fingers crossed that it works, thank you!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wideopn11:
Down grade works. I did a manual update to .26 and then back down to .17 and rerooted. I still haven't received the OTA so I'm stuck with .17 rooted until .26 gets cracked.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] trollallot:
Ok noob question....basically after running the apk if all3 boxes are checked it means I'm root? If so I beat myself up for nothing last night lol.

Also this does not unlock bootloader correct? So in all reality this only allows use for root apps?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
Yes, that is basically how those check boxes work.

This does NOT unlock the bootloader, it only roots.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] trollallot:
Ty sir now when I get home I can mess around with my rooted tf300!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jj4201998:
I have the new 300F, and am on version .17. If I run this and get root, will this void the warrenty or does that only happen if you unlock the bootloader? Do I need to unlock to flash a recovery. If I don't want to mess with flashing mods do I really need to root. Thanks for the help and hope you can answer these for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
no, yes, yes, not really.

No rooting does not void the warranty and it is reversible. Yes, that is only for unlocking the bootloader. Yes, you will want to be unlocked in order to flash. You don't really need root, but it allows you to use some apps and make some customizations to the device that you would not be able to do without root.
