There's a way to root while you're running 9.4.2.21.

Basically, you unlock your bootloader, flash CWM, and then flash a custom ROM with root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarhoff:
That is the exact method that I used. Unlock, install CWM, nandroid, flash a custom ROM (virtuous prime is pretty good, but I prefer aokp)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yumms:
Many of us are looking for a method to root without loosing the warranty. So unlocking is not the way to go.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] overhauling:
You can just purchase Squaretrade warranty,

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
Unfortunately, squaretrade is not available in my area so thats out of the question, and im sure not going to unlock this thing with asus' track record.

Waiting on new root meathod, i agree with a previous poster - prime without root sucks! Shoulda used rootkeeper, next time i will remember
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] NeoMagus:
just an FYI to anyone considering unlocking to root- once you do it you WILL lose the ability to take any future OTA's from Asus- so you'll have to wait for a zip to be uploaded to load manually thru CWM. Not to mention losing your warranty .. unless you want to run custom roms as well you might as well just wait for a new exploit
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] malaeus:
im honestly interested who would root, but NOT cwm and custom rom>? at least to me, that seems to be the point. run a kang rom or cm or somethin, so it has lots of goodies... not to mention a million times better support than any OEM could ever ask for!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beavertank:
Because if you unlock and flash you lose your warranty. If I root on the OTA firmware I can modify the system partition, which is all I care to do at the moment - and given the many problems of this device there's no way I'll throw away my warranty.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Col.Kernel:
I'm in the same camp as Beavertank. I plan to RMA my Prime as soon as they fix the WiFi/Bluetooth issue. And pray that nothing else breaks in the mean time.

Then, if Squaretrade will go for it, I plan to say "Look, this was just RMA'd. It's fresh from the factory, can I buy your warranty?" and unlock the bootloader at that point.

Otherwise I'll probably wait after I get it back from RMA and if everything's OK I'll unlock the bootloader at that time.

I have root access because some apps require it (Titanium Backup for one) and Fix Permissions is a very helpful troubleshooting tool.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Laurentwb:
Does anyone know why we can't root .21 ?

Is it because a way to do it has not been developed yet or is it because it is impossibe ?

Thx

Laurent
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
Asus stopped using some stock busybox files and fixed a hole used to root. Its not impossible to root it just means we need to find another method
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Laurentwb:
thanks.

I hope someone capable of that kind of things also needs it !
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nilesf:
Yes please. Can some find root for 9.4.2.21?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Eoin247:
Also looking to root but stuck on .21 . Anybody know if there's a new method somewhere on the horizon?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] malaeus:
i guess i forget not everyone gets a warranty from best buy or squaretrade etc.

that makes sense though, thank you for the explanation :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fcortes626:
so for cm you need to unlock right?

isnt it possible to flash roms using rom manager with out unlocking the boot loader? or is the prime not compatible with rom manager? i also wouldnt want to unlock because the prime hasnt been out long enought to know if there would be a hardware failure. root yes unlock bootloader no. so ill just wait for a new method that doesnt include unlocking the boot loader.

isnt it possibe for someone to decompile the asus unlock apk and recompile it so that it doesnt go thru asus or even make it so that you can restore the bootloader to stock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
Its already pretty much been decompiled, it takes your serial number and some other info and sends it to asus who uses that info to generate your unique unlock key. There is no way to bypass it at this time.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fcortes626:
well on android forums theres a group of devs that work on the samsung galaxy prevail and they made a bat file that makes a odin back up of our phones but i dont know if it wil make a back up of the transformer and i dont know if you use odin with the transformer either. maybe it can be used to make a back up of a rooted transformer and then we use those files and flash them with odin to root our devices. not sure if it will work tho because the device has to be in download mode.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] admartian:
Pretty sure that Odin is Samsung-only.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fcortes626:
so whats used for asus? i just wished the transformer was samsuns lol they aren't all strict like asus.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
Ya thats Odin.

Samsung is very different from Asus. Samsung does not lock their bootloaders, in fact they give us tools (like odin) so we can access the bootloaders and do what we will. they figure if they make a good phone we can help make the software even better!

Asus, on the other hand, has locked their bootloader. They give us a tool that gives us a partial unlock but voids all warrenty. (HTC is similar, they very rarely give you any tools to unlock the phone's bootloader)

There is nothing we can do unless a dev decides to build something from scratch. This is very difficult, its like trying to enter a password on the computer when you dont even know where to plug the computer in, dont have a screen to see what your doing, and have no keyboard to type in the keys. Not only that, the password is encrypted and secured.

Yes, we CAN eventually find some way to crack asus's lockdown of the transformer, the same way we could technically reverse engineer any key used for any other application or software, its just a matter of time and effort and resources. How my failed attempts will it take? How many bricked primes will there be?

Thats the nice thing about Samsung, even if you screw something up you can still use the USB jig on a lot of their devices to get them into download mode. we dont even have the luxary of that on the prime.

So now we wait. You, Me, and all of us who lack the ability to code or decypher what goes on behind the screen, we wait for those gifted with that ability to figure out an unlock or a root or whatever it is we need and share it with the community. What else can we do?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] admartian:
This.

Even on the Xperias before I had my Samsungs (S2 and Tab 10.1) it was still fairly easy to root.

I somewhat regret this only becaus Asus has made this so hard (I don't know why) and now I'm faced with either Unlock but lose 1 year warranty or just stay with stock.

It's not like we have Supertrade or Bestbuy here either; so NONE OF THAT applies.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
Remember ROOT and UNLOCK are completely different. With Samsung because the bootloader is unlocked we can flash a rooted kernel no problem, with Asus we have to find a security hole to be able to gain root, or unlock and flash arooted kernel/rom
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] admartian:
I understand. :)

It was still easier even on the X10; where the bootloader was locked.

Run Recovery and create a backup

Zip the /system/app and /data/app folder and name it as "Electrify Stock"

Upload and PM me the link

P.S.- If you happen to have ANY current 2.3 Moto Blur phone, doing the above will be much appreciated.

I will not go into what this is for but I'm quite sure some of you can guess. Don't spoil it.

[Motorola Photon 4G] onslaught86:
No trouble. Have had the phone for one whopping day, so nice to be able to help out already. :)

I'm a lazy sod, grabbed the first bootstrap recovery I found for the Photon, which turned out to be sorta-port from the Droid X2, and apparently the Atrix before that. Long story short, old recovery, so spits out .img instead of .tar. You can have the whole system image for the Electrify, I'll pack the RAZR's /system/app up properly.

Uploading now, will add the links when my connection gets around to finishing the job.

Still need tar files for other current motoblur phones.
[Motorola Photon 4G] onslaught86:
The second link is a straight dump of /system/app from the RAZR, extracted from a nandroid tar, so that should be fine.

Will find a more recent bootstrap recovery for the Electrify and get back to you.

What do you need from /data/app ? :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Got things mixed up (working on parallel projects with minor differences). I've fixed the OP. I simply need system/app and data/app from clean STOCK Odexed motoblur phones in tar not img. CWM5 will do this. They need to be clean for your safety and this project. Sorry if I'm being vague or secretive about it but the project goal is for all motoblur phones.

Everything. There's actually other areas of the factory rom I could use. This may turn into a really big project, really quick so doing it in phases makes it easier.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:

So far It looks like I have the Photon, Electrify and GSM RAZR covered. Hope to have a beta out today so keep an eye on the dev section.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlnrtn:
Hi all! I've been checking out this forum for quite some time now, and been following a ROM thread quite closely for the past week or so, so thought it was about time I got an account! Currently got a Galaxy S2, which I love.

I'm by no means a developer, but I'm also not a complete n00b and know my fair share about computers. Done a bit of programming on and off for a few years, build my own PC's etc. I previously had a HTC Hero, and I rooted that and have flashed several ROM's and Kernels over the past 2 years. I would like to learn a lot more though. There are a lot of things I don't understand.

I would like to know more about how things work concerning custom ROM's. What is it Kernels do exactly? What is AOKP? (Found some information on Google, but nothing that made a lot of sense). Modems are another thing I'd like to know more about.

I know a lot of the questions I have have probably been asked several times on the forum already, so I'm not going to ask for direct answers, but if anyone has any links to helpful websites that could help me on my way to learning more about the Android system and what you developers do I would greatly appreciate it.

Anyway, nice to meet you all, and I look forward to talking with some of you and contributing where I can.

Thanks,

Carl
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phistachio:
Welcome to the forum! :)

First, read all the FAQs out there, recovery guides, how-to's... Everything before flashing :)

The Kernel (in the flashing process, it's the zImage, just like in Linux) is basically a bridge between the software and the hardware. It's basically what connects the NAND (the phone's HDD) with the hardware components like WiFi, Antenna, etc, and provides info, stats, commands and etc about them.

AOKP stands for Android Open KANG Project, and is kind of a Kang port.

Modems (in a flashing package, it's the PHONE file) is pretty much what "controls" the antenna section of the phone, which is WiFi, 3G/H/H+, call connection, etc. There are many modems out there, and I believe that the best Modem for the UK in Android 2.3.x is KL1, and for 4.0.x, XXLPQ.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Due to xda new member rules, I have to resort to the General Section. The new ICS kernel, has locked down adb root access. What this means is when you adb shell you will be dropped into normal shell (even though you have su installed). This would probably help ROM creaters who are bundling the kernel. It has init.d support and the bootanimation (this file should be /system/media/bootanimation.zip, if it does not work, link it as sanim.zip)

* This also defaults to bash shell when you (adb shell) not the default ICS mksh. Also, it can read bash_profile from /sdcard/bash_profile

how is this different from romracer ics kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mohan_kr:
Not sure which romracer kernel? I have repacked the initramfs from the Stock ICS Kernel (UCALC4) to support:

* initd (execute all /system/etc/init.d scripts)

* insecure adb (i.e. adb commands su to root)

* bootanimation

* as an extra I have packaged the bash shell in initramfs, so all adb commands will use the bash shell feature, mainly for people who do a lot of rom dev, you want script some of the stuff, will read /sdcard/bash_profile for startup.

Hope this helps, the kernel itself has not changed, that is it is as stock as you can get.
