[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 13bgarli:
I just recently bought my Transformer Prime, and like an idiot I didn't check to see if there was a root method for the new update. So I'm now updated to 9.4.2.21 and used Asus's Bootloader Unlocking tool to unlock my boot loader and I managed to install CWM. I made a backup of my current stock OS, and I currently am downloading Virtuous Prime - based on the WW 9.4.2.21 build - would I be able to install that? I don't need to be rooted in the current OS to install this ROM correct? I just wanted to make sure before I brick my new tablet for doing something stupid... Please let me know!

Thanks,

13bgarli

SAME exact situation here..... I am so anxious to get this sucker rooted and start customizing
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] reNeglect:
Why don't you guys boot into cwm make a nandroid back up and then attempt installing it? But most likely it won't work...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 13bgarli:
Well my download has 15 minutes left and from reading the instructions on the ROM itself, it seems that the only thing it needs is CWM so I'm going to try it out... I just hope I don't get bricked xD. Now would be the time to tell me not to do it if someone knows! Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flub:
If bootloader unlocked & CWM installed then Yes you are good to go, no need to be rooted to install custom rom
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 13bgarli:
Well so far its good to go, I got it installed and its booting for the first time without a hitch. Got my stuff restored from my Google account and I'm rooted :P So glad that worked.

Heres what I did if someone wants to do the same:

1. Unlock the bootloader using the Asus Unlock tool.

2. Flash CWM using this guide

transformerprimeroot.com/transformer-prime-recovery/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-5-8-2-0-on-transformer-prime/

3. Create a Nandroid backup.

4. Install the ROM through CWM.

5. Reboot like normal.

6. Enjoy being rooted :P!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarhoff:
Maybe I'm being dumb here, but I don't think this gives you root access.... You are unlocked with a custom ROM, but I don't think there is a way to root on .21 yet. Am I incorrect? Still new to the prime here, so maybe I'm missing something. Thanks for the update though! :-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] knives of ice:
i'm in the same situation. one thing i was wondering about. is the process of flashing roms in CWM different ? i thought i had read that you have to do it a bit differently than most phones
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarhoff:
I'm coming from my galaxy nexus (unlocked and rooted). Too flash a rom, I'm used to placing the zip file in the root folder...if that makes sense, then flashing using CWM. If I'm able to flash a rom on the prime without having root access (I AM unlocked however), where do I need to have the zip file saved? Thanks for the help.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 13bgarli:
Well if your running Virtuous Prime it comes pre-rooted on 9.4.2.21 and I've already created backups using Titanium Backup Pro no problems at all. In fact its really stable, been listening to music for a while with no problems. Yesterday I watched Transformers 3 - ironic I know xD - and had no problems at all and I ended up getting about 12 hours of battery life with the screen and WiFi going all day :P.

From my experience on Android devices (Droid X, Droid X2, Galaxy Nexus, and now Transformer Prime) CWM has been a bit different for each, but for the most part once you get CWM in, its just a matter of following the instructions of the ROM maker.

Virtuous Prime is different when flashing because it has a GUI when installing - something I've never seen before - which works quite well, its a nice touch.

Well if you go to TransformerPrimeRoot.com and follow the instructions there for flashing CWM, (of course make sure that you still boot normal after doing it) make a nandroid backup, then just flash like normal. When you get your ROM on make sure that you download RomManager from the market so you can get the latest CWM flashed as the version from that website is an older one, but it seems to work fine.

Keep in mind if you don't see the USB icon when in that icon list, it will show up when you unlock your boot loader.

Hope this helps!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarhoff:
Sorry to ask the same question twice, but do I need to save the ROM zip file anywhere specifically, or can I simply download the file directly onto my prime and then flash from my download folder???? I feel so dumb about this one
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 13bgarli:
As long as you have CWM installed you can put the .zip ROM anywhere. Most of the time I keep em in the root of the device (its just easier to find). Then just use Choose install from .ZIP or whatever the button is, and navigate like normal to install it. Make sure you make a backup!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarhoff:
Im up and running now. Thanks for the help! So should this root access stick now even if i wanted to flash aokp? Or if i wipe data do I lose root?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] reNeglect:
All the custom roms on here should already be pre-rooted so yeah.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] knives of ice:
Man where is the file we need to flash cwm located at the guide you linked? Can't find it

ok i understand now that i would be able to flash roms, but say i wanted to overclock or move files into and out of the /system/app folder, will i have the superuser apk on my tablet or is that something i can just get in the play store?

thanks in advance
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nilesf:
no custom roms just root on 9.4.2.21

I had cwm and vprime installed. Had some issues with battery consumption and stability issue even with full options. Then my tf201 went hard brick.

My firend is hoping to root 9.4.2.21without a custom from. ViperBoy had a very nice root tool but it does not work on 9.4.2.21.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] knives of ice:
yes, you'll have superuser and every app that needs root will run. superuser auto installs most custom roms. i needed to install busybox. titanium backup says i have full root and writing and moving apps in the system folder works fine.

i didn't think it would work either, but many confirmed it in the virtuous prime thread i read before going through with unlocking. glad i did.

Rooting Stock 9.4.2.21

Similar here, I just want to root the stock 9.4.2.21 that my Prime updated with this past Thursday (about 15 minutes after I turned it on for the 1st time). Not interested in full blown custom ROMs, just need root so I can install useful stuff like AdBlocker.

Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bigzaqui:
Thanks, worked perfectly.

In case you don't have it clear, there's no need of "root" to do this, the only things you need are:

Transformer prime (xD)

*CWM installed

*Custom Rom downloaded and verified

*Backup (recommended)

Restoring Rooted TF201

Hello. This is my first post. I hope this will not bother anybody.

I have a situation. I did root my TF201 using CWM and virtuous_prime_s_9.4.2.21_v1 a month ago. Just now, I plan to sell my TF201. So, I go to the tablet setting and click at the reset data or something like that. I think it's just a normal data deletion process which is not effecting the rooted system. Unfortunately, after I reset / delete the data, the tablet is not going to boot. It just keep showing the CWM Recovery page with options to reboot the system, install zip from sdcard, wipe data, and so on. I selects to reboot the system, but nothing is happening. The tablet is turned off and turned back on with same display (CWM Recovery page).

What should i do?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kainppc6700:
Hey there all, I just got my Samsung Epic set up on Sprint again the other day and came back to the reality that Sprint's network does have holes in it in places. I downloaded a PRL that allows roaming on Verizon with EvDo data, but I'd like to be able to force roaming on demand when needed without using that other Verizon only PRL (I don't carry a computer and USB cable around everywhere in my pocket anyway). I've also tried version 1.6 and 2 of "RoamControl" and it is not working, for me anyway on any PRL I've tried so far, Legendary ROM version 2.1 or 2.2, or the latest version of the Samurai Kernel.

I saw somewhere there was a really complicated tweak you could do with the Evo that would just put the "roam only" option back in the regular network selection menu where it's supposed to be, but I haven't heard or seen of that working on a Samsung.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Roam control works fine if you actually pay for it and do not pirate

I'd really like to avoid paying for functionality that should be present in the software. I'll just stick with the free working version, but since that apparently does not work, we need to find an ALTERNATIVE to Roam control beside putting a different PRL on (I don't know about you, but I don't carry a computer or even a USB cable in my pocket that much).

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
I was very calm when typing my response. I simply stated my issue with your response to my suggested link.

I read your OP and saw what you quoted from it. I figured you were pirating Roam Control when you said it didn't work. If you don't wish to purchase the application, then that is fine. The link was provided because it is the easiest solution to your question.

The link I shared wasn't a promotional thread for Roam Control. It was an information thread at the time when Roam Control was in limbo on the Market. (As you can see/read in that thread's OP with the update edits)

At the moment it looks as if you have 4 choices remaining:

1. Buy a license for Roam Control.

2. Use CM or AOKP (assuming they offer forced roaming options in their vast array of settings)

3. Keep searching.

4. Give up.

SOMETHING.. OTHER.. THAN.. ROAMCONTROL.. Reply

I'm pretty sure the developers got it figured out. From what I've been reading, version 1.4 works for most people. Do you have a copy of it? Why would the free version not work?

I tried roam control too and it didn't work. I need to find a solution that does work.

Anyone! Any suggestions beside "Roam control"?

Isn't option 2 a set of ROMs though? I already have what is possibly the best available ROM for the Epic - Legendary.

I've actually been doing a lot of searching too. Somebody found a complicated mod of a certain file on the Evo, but I'd like confirmation that it works on the Epic before I go in there and wreck something (I'm really leary of the whole process altogether).

Apart from those, I need the help of the community.

Any ideas?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Speedin07si:
There fixed your statement. Short answer You must pay to play or develop you own app. At least until a rom has this capability that works. I know CM7 and CM9 have the options but they currently don't work . Who knows when or if they ever will.

As far as you question "why won't the free one work" ... well there is no free one. The download is free but you have to purchase the license a one time $3.99.

Clearly states will not work without a valid license.

Most of the replies here work it out, some with the dreaded roamcontrol app, some within the custom rom itself if you go that route. Good luck!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kainppc6700:
I was hoping for a fee solution, so in reality, I didn't learn anything that I didn't already know aside from the fact that people have had limited success with the free version of Roam control.

Well, that's not entirely true. There was a free version on Mobilism for a while, but they stopped developing it. I'll try the paid version though.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Dude. Roam Control is cheap. Are you really complaining that an app that you pirated does not work... I purchased it and it fully works. There is no free version as it is a payed app. The developer of the app has spent more than $4 of his time to make the app. You do not just say "I have an idea for this app" and have it just appear. It takes alot of hard work and time to make an app... buy it or do not complain.

Roam Control doesn't always work

Hey all.

Just a heads up, but roam control doesn't always work... even if you buy it. I have an Epic 4G and bought the app with no luck. Yes the app does what it's supposed to do, it puts the phone in roam only mode. That's great, but here's the catch, for samsung phones, they only roam in 800mhz mode. Some parts of the US are 1900mhz only. This leaves the phone with no signal at all. Happened to me with the full paid app v 2.2.0.

Read the FAQ at roamctrl.com if you don't believe me.

Also found this blog where someone found a way to force roaming without changing PRL. Looks like you still need a pc and usb cable though.

He must be.

I don't know.

Why do some people complain about random things in a thread they haven't read?

Interesting. I was always under the impression that Sprint was exclusively 1900Mhz and that Verizon was almost all in that 800whatever Mhz band.

The post is very interesting though, I wonder if there is a way to do that right on the device itself.
