I had this as well. I let it change the permission.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eyesparky:
This exploit worked for me with .28 after I lost root using the full update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
I updated the permissions that are set by default to 6755. Sorry about that, I just copied that piece from the original post. Fixed with v1.8
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
What was wrong was the line that I highlighted with red above about not finding the file. You should always get the question that you have to answer since it tests the su access and determines if everything was set correctly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
Yes, it should be possible to add this to an apk and I agreed to do this once it was determined that the fix worked with .28. I did not want to spend the time making that change if it is useless after the .28 update. Since this change takes a bit longer it will have to wait. I may have time to do this, this weekend.

You sir are a God. That would be awesome.

Just ran the automated root, TF300 9.4.3.29 rooted!

Thanks a lot!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
Ran 1.5 with success yesterday, today I got my first reboot in 45 prime owning days. It came back with a UID inconsistent error. Any easy way out?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pc99mk:
Thanks. After seeing this, I downloaded and installed the .28 full update and ran this tool again to regain root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
I don't think I have ever seen the error you are referring to. Where did you get this error? Was it in a certain app?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
I had just cleared a few open tasks and my prime rebooted and a warning screen was there when it opened back up. I only ask here because your root asked me if the uid matched and I didn't really check.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thenrz:
No problems at all. Used the naked drivers i had already installed on my xp laptop.

One con... i feel much less nerdy using your program! :) its a ton easier than copying adb commands, but less fun!

.28 was much nicer with adaway.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] imartificial:
I am rooting now. Its saying "uid" and "gid" should be zero. Are They?

what is that i have no idea. anybody help please.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tony1ant:
Hope to get my TF201 rooted too

I hope I will be able to root mine and sort the browser issues gonna try later on after I get some sleep

Thanks guys
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
Right before the question it should run a command that tells you what the gid and uid are. What are the lines prior to the questions?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bunnybash:
Thanks for the tool!

I tried using 1.8 on my .28 and was given all the right signals that it should be rooted gid uid both being 0.

Anyways tried to install titanium backup and was informed it couldn't get root access.

Any tips?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
Titanium complains like that because it can't find busybox, but its not smart enough to just say that. My bet would be that all you is to install busybox.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bunnybash:
busybox wont install either. I will keep trying different things!!

edit: I redownloaded the files, then I restarted my Prime and tried again, and it worked!!! Thanks so much for your help, installing browser2ram changes everything!!!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] passsy:
I'm back on root with .21 on TF201.

got a segmentation fault btw.

THANKS SO MUCH!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fro5tie:
Never rooted my TF201 before, I've just done the OTA to .28 will this root it OK? Dont need to do anything else just run the batch file?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ngough:
fyi fro5tie, I actually did it manually following the instructions @ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1704209

worked like a charm fresh from a factory reset and recent update to .28
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] spino1970:
Well... It works like a charm, on a TF300T with .29, located in italy ;)

Thank you all! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] be4con:
TF300T on .29 rooted like a dream. Great work. Thanks :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bunnybash:
This worked on my wife's Prime .28 as well... I cannot express how grateful I am for this very very very simple tool!!!

Thanks a million!

PS rooting your prime is worth it just to install browser2ram!

If you are going to unlock there is no reason to root. Once you are unlocked you can just flash a pre-rooted ROM.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
Had my tf201 a few weeks now and getting twitchy to start experimenting. Can someone clear up a few things for me:

1. Is there a list somewhere of the pros/cons for a) Unlocking without root b) Rooting without unlocking and c) Unlocking AND Rooting?

2. Do I understand correctly that it is not possible to re-lock an unlocked Prime?

3. Is there a simple way to return the device to unrooted condition having used sparky's method to root?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
1. I'm sure there are lists out there somewhere mainly rooting allows you to do things that android in general doesn't give you/apps direct control over. Unlocking allows you to flash different ROMs (other ROMs can change whatever they like, increase performance, bundle apps together, add a custom UI, etc.)

2. It is not possible to re-lock yourself, but it has been posted that Asus will do it for you if they are feeling nice.

3. As long as you remember all the changes you made using root permissions, yes you can go back to an unrooted status. If you did not make any changes other than rooting, then yes it is very simple, just delete the su file and uninstall the super user app.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 5150jpd:
I'm coming from my nexus to my prime. Wouldn't you want root also if you unlocked anyways? I think id like to install TWRP and flash. Is there a benefit in not rooting? Thought all three steps where kind of the way things went... Lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] solvent:
Success

Thank you, you Genius

Worked perfectly on TF300T with WW-epad-9.4.3.29.

Is it still recommended to use Voodoo OTA RootKeeper afterwards?

All the best
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gabewalters:
I seem to have trouble installing the drivers. I have installed the android_winusb, and when i open the root program, it says I dont have them installed. What am i doing wrong?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cmart4:
--Noob alert---

Can't get past this:

Waiting for device to be detected...

*daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037*

* daemon started succesfully*

then nothing, waited about 10 mins, repeated the same process, same result

Loaded the drivers and uninstalled sync. Using v1.8 unzipped to my desktop.

Never used adb before. Any ideas? TF300T on .29

wish there was an apk to do this :(

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GSDLt:
Thanks so much for this awesome tool. Makes rooting easier than cooking eggs.

For all of you who are stuck after the first two line of the bat:

You may have to activate debugging.

I was close to desperation, because I couldn't get past "deamon started successfully". As I usually have "unknown sources" and "debugging" activated I ignored the hint. :mad:

I couldn't install the attached drivers, so I suspected those, but after activtint "debugging" everything worked like a charm :D

Sometime RTFM helps ;)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheAggression:
Will this root a Prime running on stock .21??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
I'm a bit confused here too since the procedure seems a bit different to my phone :confused:.

I understand that this rooting method effectively allows apps like Titanium Backup, Ad Blocker etc to function but does not allow custom ROMs.

But do I have it right that

unlocking the bootloader alone

from the official site effectively allows access for all apps requiring root including the likes of Root Manager to flash new Recoveries and therefore custom ROMs? So in this case no need for getting root via this tool?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] miloj:
absolutely yes
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TheAggression:
Sweet!! Thanks!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redjersey:
quick question. Do I have to install something first on my computer (ie. ADB on windows) before running RootDebugfs.bat?

thanks in advance
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newowner:
In answer to the post above - ADB needs to be installed - I read somewhere else that the Asus software suite for the TF300T had ADB in it - I can't confirm that.

I made sure I followed the instructions before I ran the batch file and everything worked fine!

Thank you for automating the process.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] salisbury_steak:
I don't own this device yet (but will get one this weekend :D).

From what I understand:

Unlocking = unlocking the boot loader, which allows access to custom recoveries. Therefore allowing your to flash ROMs and kernels.

Rooting = allowing SU access to your apps. This is where TB, adblock, etc. comes in. Therefore, if you only need the root apps to work, you can actually skip unlocking, and go straight to rooting (since unlocking won't allow those root apps to run anyway).

Again, this is just how I understand this thread from a few days of following it. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Restorer:
My confusion is the same as in 5150how's post above. Sparky suggested there is no point in rooting the device if you intend to unlock the bootloader. In other words is he saying unlocking would in itself allow apps to get root access?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
The only logical reason to unlock is so that you can change to a custom rom. Anybody who creates an unrooted custom rom should be slapped.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
If you unlock, you can and must (because that's why you unlock) install a custom recovery.

Once you have a custom recovery you can:

-flash a custom ROM. ALL custom ROM are ROOTED.

-flash super user only, just to root your ROM.

But the last case is not very logical.

So if you unlock, it's to flash custom ROMs. So if you unlock you don't need to root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
That is not a big crime as you can flash su.zip that contains root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] salisbury_steak:
Hi Striatum! So we meet again. lol.

So am I correct when I say that:

A. For users that just need root: No need to unlock, just root via OP.

B. For users who want to flash a custom ROM: No need to root, just unlock and use root from the custom ROM.

C. For power users who want to be open to all mods (flashing and root apps): unlock, then root via OP.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
I know, I was just trying to dramatize my point to show why a root is unnecessary if you are unlocking.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 5150jpd:
I unlocked, rooted and flashed AOKP much happier than the .28 crap. Do it you will be much happier :-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MartiniMoe:
xbin nearly empty

Hi,

I used this root-Method on my .21 Prime.

Now I've noticed, the /system/xbin/ folder is nearly empty. There are just a few binaries in it:

dexdump
ps3bttest
rfcomm
su

A friend of mine also got the prime but rooted with an older method. He has a lot more binaries in the /system/xbin/ folder. Since there are binaries I really could use (like find or lsusb) Im wondering why I dont have them?!

Can I just copy them over from my friend?

How comes I am missing these binaries?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chrischdi:
Install busybox via busybox installer from the playstore.

Then run "busybox --install -s /system/xbin" on a shell as super user.

Hello Sparky,

Do you think it would be possible to adapt your script to be able to root the SGII as seen here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27581152

Thanks for your help.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
I think it would be possible, but I do not have a SGII to test with. If you PM me all the exact commands you used, I will create a version that works with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
As an update on putting his into an APK, I was busy over the weekend with fathers day so I did not get around to it. Fear not though, it is still on my todo list.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] miloj:
Actually, I just changed the line "chmod 755 debugfs" by "toolbox chmod 755 debugfs" since the chmod binary (or symlink) was not present on the SGII.

I tested if it would work on the transformer with the toolbox prefix, and it does, so I think you can probably just throw it in.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sgosnell:
Well damn, that was easy. Since I don't run Windows, I used the Linux script, with adb commands, and was rooted in no time at all. Thanks so much for this tool, and having the tools on Dropbox, with the ability to easily copy it all to my own Dropbox, is really nice. I just opened a terminal, cd to the appropriate Dropbox folder, and ran the adb commands. I far prefer that to having things going on under the hood that I can't see.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jwir3:
Hello,

I have a S2 SGH-T989, and I recently installed the Darkside Evolution ICS Rom. It works beautifully, with a couple of annoyances: the only one that is somewhat intolerable is that the phone and contacts apps are very slow to load.

When I click on the phone on my home screen, it highlights it with a light blue background, but then takes > 5 seconds to pull up the keypad and phone application. Similar behavior happens with the contacts application. Even worse, when I start hitting numbers on the keypad, it doesn't register or display those numbers as I'm dialing them for > 3 seconds. Once it's caught up to my typing, it seems to work fairly well, but this is intolerable, since I can't see what I'm typing, and phone numbers are so short that I usually end up typing the first 3 or 4 numbers, waiting for it to bring up my contact associated with that number, and then selecting one, when the process should take only as much time as it takes me to type the numbers.

I have tried wiping the Dalvik cache, but to no avail. I have not yet tried reinstalling the ROM, as that does tend to be quite a bit of work to set up all of my home screens and such (as well as restoring data from my SD card, etc..), so I'd like to avoid that if possible. However, if it's going to fix this problem, I'll happily do that to avoid the annoyances I'm dealing with at the moment.

I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions on how to fix this issue, or whether others have had this issue and have found something that helps with it.

Thanks!
