[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ThePhoneGeek:
Thank you for all your efforts to put together the program, I don't want that lost in my rant. I do appreciate all the efforts that most here go through to make our devices more functional, remove the crap the carriers load up on them, and generally do the work that the carriers and mfg's should be doing in terms of programming and making devices very generic, very functional, and very open to allow users (advanced and not) the ability to change their devices however they want.

I am sorry but we'll have to agree to disagree on the .7z format as I have spent a great many years in wireless and the corporate world and it is not even known by the IT departments of most very large companies. That and the fact that windows is still the OS that the vast majority of the world uses, I am by no means a lover of Microsoft but it is the world standard love it or hate it. Few people have any need for a stand alone program to zip and unzip files as it is easily done in the base OS and serves the needs of 99% of users...

HELP!

I feel like an utter moron at this point, which I think is frustrating me as much or more than my inability to get my new 300T (running .30) rooted, especially as I've managed to root all my other devices with no problems! OK, I'm not terribly familiar with ADB (although I can C/P code to it and not kill things), so I chose this method to try to root. Got everything set on my 300T, downloaded/unzipped the zip, ran batch file. Selected option 1, and watched the code fly by, with lots of "adb out of date, killing". It reboots my 300T a few times, and I get to the end, and check for SU, no dice. I tried downloading it, then running Titanium Backup to test if the root had been done, no luck. AND, now I'm getting an android.process.media error. ARGH!

What am I doing wrong here? Help?

**Also, I just noticed that my computer is no longer recognizing my 300T- as in I pluc the 300T into my computer, and NOTHING happens. I've tried rebooting the computer and the tab, with no luck either way. As far as the computer is concerned (any of them, I've tried it on three computers, same result), there is nothing connected to it at all. I've also tried booting the tab into recovery (pwr + Vol down), and it gives me the dead android with the red triangle/exclamation mark. Somehow, I don't have root, but I've lost recovery.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
If this is the only issue then you can just got to the play store and download the superuser app from there (the rest of the rooting process should already be done).

As far as the other error, this is just trying to delete old versions of superuser, but if you have not previously root then it will fail to find that file (the step 2 error is nothing to worry about).

This post does not relate to this tool as far as i can tell. But, just fyi, cp is not part of the basic android system, to get the same functionality you can use the cat command. Also, push is an adb command.

I did this on a different version of windows so I'm not sure how this might be different, but open device manager and find your device. Right click and select update driver, let windows search and it should find your drivers to install.

make sure your computer isn't running auto sync by opening task manager and kill it if it's running.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gtabnoob:
You guys having problems with the device not found, adb out of date, killing etc errors....open up task manager and right-click on the "DroidExplorer.Service.exe" service and choose "End Task". That will prevent adb from being able to do it's job. Once you do that you're golden.

Hi,

Does the padfone root work on the latest update which came out a few days ago? If not, will you update the root method?

Cheers!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
I have not had anybody say yet, you could try it and respond back.

If it does not work then the they fixed the exploit and a new exploit would need to be found, until then, no update could be made.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bender1982:
I see. Guess I will wait a bit then. Even thou Android without root is kinda annoying.

Anyway, thanks for your help mate!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
You can always try the root method, it shouldn't hurt your device. It will either root it or it won't.

Run RootDebugfs.bat - check OP

Follow the on screen instructions in the DOS window, read carefully:

Yes- you need debugging on

Also, you need to ensure "Allow unknown sources" is checked

I'm not sure what this means: I always get ADB out of date, killed.

>Also, when it finishes, it asks if uid and gid are 0: Right above this you will see a line with this in it, if the device has been rooted correctly you will see 0 for both.

If all goes well and I believe it will, you should install OTA RootKeeper.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kokopuphz:
The ADB out of date message is shown if you already have an instance of ADB running in the background (most likely from an install of Android SDK), and this previously running instance being an older version than the one that was packaged with the debugfs root method.

You need not worry about it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
Most of the time when the out of date message occurs with Asus, it is due to Asus sync running. Make sure it is not running before running the root tool.

Lost root after flashing firmware

Hi there,

when I got my TF700T I unlocked and rooted it successfully. I installed TWRP and flashed a custom ROM.

Yesterday I downloaded the latest firmware (V9.4.5.26) completely from ASUS website and flashed it throughout TWRP. I wasn't aware, that I will loose root and that it is going to replace my TWRP with stock recovery.

When I try to root it again, step two fails (please see attached file). Any hints what I can do in order to root my device again?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
I do not see a failure. If you are referring to the file not found, that should be expected as it just tries to clean up old files before copying over the new ones.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] :
Hi sparkym3,

rootchecker said "sorry, no root" and ES File Explorer and Titanium Backup also stated, that I don't have root.

However, I deinstalled Superuser and tried it again and then it worked.Strange ...

Thank you for having a look on my problem.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Angelusz:
I'm fairly proficient in using tools like these, but I'm having a lot of difficulties with my new padfone.

I've received it today and installed the OTA update straight away. Ran this tool: No results, it fails to copy every file - permission denied.

After that I installed an update available from the ASUS home site - same story.

EDIT: Current firmware: CHT_PadFone-user-9.20.1.22_CHT_9.3.1.zip

My checklist:

- USB Debugging on - YES

- Allow installation from outside sources - YES

- Drivers installed, provided with this download - YES (question here, I could install two drivers - bootloader or normal - tried both, no avail. What is the difference?).

Can anyone tell me how to make this beautiful new toy more useful? Thanks a lot!
