Sparky, I wrote up a short text file with instructions for using your tool. I would like for you to look at it and if you like it and want it for inclusion in the zip file for your tool, then go ahead an include it. Just PM me with your email address (I assume email addresses are allowed, as long as they're posted in a PM?) and I'll send it over to ya. If it's no problem, I'd also like to give it to anyone else who wants it. Anyone can follow it and I think it will save a lot of time and heartache. :) And a lot of questions won't get typed. <lol> :)

Also, I had to replace my TF700T. One of the "Reboot Transformer" apps bricked me (boot loop). Not the one with both the Free and Pay versions. This one offered only a free version. That should have told me something, huh? <j/k>

Anyway, my point is that I had to use your rooting tool again on my replacement TF700T and I just wanted to let you know, that your newest, updated version (the one that doesn't require you to look for "UID=0") worked flawlessly! :)

The only thing I had to do, was to run SuperUser after it was done, before the device would allow root apps to work. SO I used your util, ran SuperUser (just to the opening screen of it) and then it was rooted. Yaaay! :)

Anyway, thanks for updating the app to make it much simpler, smoother and cleaner! As I said a while back, this is the simplest/easiest rooting method I've ever seen and the concept is pure genius! Yes, I really did say that a while ago. Look at some older posts by me and you'll see. :)

Thanks again and let me know about the text file. I also have some that I wrote up for three other apps as well and they also include really basic and simple explanations for the terms used, when appropriate. Especially the Wake On LAN instructions. And yes, the developers all know about them and saw them before I offered them to anybody (just like I am to you, now) and I have their permission to and they each kept a copy to put on their web sites, which I hope that you will also give me and do. :)

Hi there,

Just wanted to confirm that I successfully rooted my TF101 with build 9.2.1.27.

Many thanks.

This worked perfectly without the haste of downgrade or upgrading my pad... Thx

I did not unlock my bootload and still able to get root
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
An unlocked bootloader should not matter, but I cannot confirm until they send out jellybean to the infinity.

If you are unlocking anyway, there is not much point to rooting using this method.

Hi,

I Want to root my Infinity. But RootDebugfs.bat close his self.

I choose Root (1 + Enter) than come the Information for USB-Debugging & Unknown Sources. I press a button and than it close his self >.<

Is there any chance of updating this to work with the tf300 jelly bean update? I was too excited when I heard about the ota and forgot I had rooted :/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thintin:
Same here

Same here. The terminal window just closes after clicking on the 3rd screen?

I have TP201:-

Android 4.0.3 build 9.4.2.28

Locked bootloader

Debugging on

Unknown sources on

Asus sync off

Drivers installed and showing up on Windows 7 64bit as 'ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface'

Have also tried Viper mod and it says everything is done but there's no SU and no root access :(

Anyone found a solution for this?

Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
ill try this out tomorrow or so and see if it works for me. sounds like good news. maybe they didn't patch up the exploit after all.

---------- Post added at 12:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------

IM BAAACKK! lol

confirmed. I'm rooted and overclocked @ 1.6Ghz again on .28 ;)

tool went through smoothly. although when i initially used root checker, it said I didn't have proper root access. so I opened up superuser apk. then went into settings. then I checked to see if binaries were up to date. it said it was but I updated them again anyways. failed at first. then I tried again and I saw the superuser pop up prompt. I allowed then it successfully updated binaries. my busybox had updated in the background from play store also. then I tried root checker again. All green. I have root access again.

I reinstalled ezoverclock app. I'm now officially at 1.6Ghz speed again. thanks for this tool Sparky. might want to add to your oligarchy confirmed to work on .28. the tool was very simple to run. I love automated tweaks..lol

thanks again buddy!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robertg9:
Since it works on .28, do you see any advantage in updating first, then rooting, or is it better to root on .21, then update....Does one have an advantage over the other.

Bob
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Sparky new tool roots either so it doesn't matter. just update to new .28, then use this tool to root.

or you could use this tool to root your current .21. then use voodoo OTA rootkeeper to backup/save root. then update to. 28. then use voodoo OTA to restore root. you good either way. to be on the safe side you could go the rooting .21 version first. but I think you should be fine either way. it rooted my. 28 build just fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robertg9:
Thanks to Sparky

Sparky,

Thank you very much for this tool. You don't know how badly I wanted to root .21, but was unwilling to do it manually after seeing so many difficulties people had. Thank you!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!

You don't know how much this tool will be appreciated.....By the way, did I say Thank you

Hi:

The programs states:

"You MUST install the Asus Drivers packaged with PrimeTime. Install the drivers

in the "Android" folder located in the folder "Drivers"

For more directions, please see the driver sticky thread in the

Transformer Prime Developement section of XDA forums."

Are the drivers for the tf300 already in the folder "drivers" or must I download the again ?

Another noob question, before i connect the tf300 to the pc to execute the program the tablet is in normal mode with android running ?

Sorry for the noob questions..

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bazzio:
Also a noob question.

First part of script goes well, but part 2 (rooting) after rebooting gives device not detected errors. Looks like script is not waiting for device to be ready... could this be a driver issue? or adb itself, adb says "db server is out of date" but seems to work correctly. I'm on ww.29 TF300T
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gremlin001:
Doesn't work for me on the TF201. No fault of of anyone but me. I originally had root on .15. Updated to .21 when it came out but didn't backup root prior to update of .21. (Noob mistake - still banging my head over that one). I have since updated to .28. I now have to find a way to remove superuser and will try this tool again when/if successful.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] miloj:
I don't see why it shouldn't work. Can you try the manual method explained in the thread below and report any error message ?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robertg9:
Keep us posted on how you solved it. I did the same thing, so I'll probably have the same issue. I hope you don't have to resort to the manual method, cause that is something I won't do. That's why I've been waiting for this tool.

Bob
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gremlin001:
Thanks Milo.

Been trying to avoid going that route (I'm a Noob) but am at the point where I may have to swallow the bullet (along with a jigger of JD) and give it a whirl. It is currently 7:00 am here and I need to wake up more first so I can read that thread completely first. I'll keep y'all posted.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Protato:
Works

Thanks so much!

I was about to use the manual method when I saw someone link to your method.

I was on v9.4.2.21 for the TF201, used the tool and got root. Used Voodoo ota root keeper and updated to v9.4.2.28 for the TF201 and restored root.

P.S- Ok so i installed the asus sync application but the program now says that ADB is out of date. Ok, so the program ended and i dont have root or superuser installled.

The have the impression that the conection with my tablet was always interrupted by the message that ADB was out of date..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
Asus sync must be terminated prior to doing things with ADB, please see the driver thread for more information and possibly how to change your drivers if the drivers initially used are not correct.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
Once I get time, may not be today, I may add an optional step to remove an old su file and also an unroot option. Until then, your best option to proceed, if you have this issue, would be to do some of the steps manually.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gremlin001:
Yup. Exactly what I'm currently doing.

I will need to try this tonight! I have still have .15 installed & rooted on my i have been waiting to update to .28!

I'm getting an error for the command "find". It is not recognised ad an command... Any ideas?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
If you are technical, you can always run the mount command on your device, either through adb or using a terminal emulator on the device. this will list out your different mounts. What you will need to do is to find the one that shows /system (this is what the find command is doing). As part of that same line it should include something similar to "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1". Once you have recorded this value. Run the tool using the manual mode (mode 2) and type in the value that you recorded earlier.

This will skip the find step as you are doing the find manually.

in settings/about phone, i have IML74K.US_epad-9.4.5.22-20120615

i just got it today, and it says update available

should i root now? or am i able to do the update, and THEN root

but i dont know what version the update would take me to?

please advise
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
It should take you to v9.4.5.26 which appears to be supported. You can always do it first just in case since I know that works since I rooted mine on .22. Then just use voodoo rootkeeper to backup and restore the root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] willjohnson:
Wierd no can root!!!!

I cannot root my brand new Infinity, I have tried it 3 or 4 times. Then Unlocked the bootloader cause that was part of the plan anyway, figured the rom i install after getting TWRP Recovery going would root the phone for me, NOPE. Still no root after installing the V4 Zues Rom. I tried to root with the batch file on the rom and still no dice. Really have no idea what to do next, never been on a custom rom stuck without root lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
Any custom rom worth anything should come prerooted, but you can always flash and update.zip that adds root. You should be able to search and find one out there. I think I may have even linked to one on the tf201 stock for unlocked devices thread OP.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] willjohnson:
I downloaded both the ARM and the i86 versions of the update.zip files from the Superuser website. No dice on either. Still no root, was wondering if maybe you could give me a link to the su file you mentioned and maybe instructions for installation to make sure i didnt do something stupid. Thanks again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] reactor_sa:

Is it not possible with locked bootloader? I see some here have posted success with locked bootloader though?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] willjohnson:
Edit-

I tried again when i got home today. I booted into TWRP and restored my stock unrooted ROM so i could start over. I plugged in my pad to my pc and bam it showed an update for the drivers, one of which was the ADB driver. So i though i was in good shape, maybe my drivers were just bad or something before(Used the ones from this threads OP). I started the root process again and this time it still didnt work... but i noticed that just before the last screen in the process, the one testing root, pops up an error, but it is so fast that i cant even see anything past the first word, which unfortunatly is "error". Is there a way to pause or look at a log to see what error is popping up there? This has got to be were i can find an answer. The wierd thing is, after the error screen flashes past it states that root was achieved and everything is fine.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
Locked bootloaders are just fine, I would say the problem is probably that you are on JB; which I still cannot confirm or disprove the working of this tool on JB.

So i tried several other things that i wont go into detail in here, tried Baked Black Bean roms newest version and for some reason root stuck with it. Cant understand it at all, tried Zues rom to force the root and it didnt work. Oh well important thing is now i am rooted. Thanks for the help
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
That all looks correct. Does it continue on after that or does it just hang there?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Xaphino:
It just hangs there. I decided to put the SuperUser.apk on my tablet and installed it like an app, which worked. It even allowed ClockWork Recovery to install. So it seems like it works but I want to make sure that I'm not missing anything before I continue on

Just rebooted and I got "Blob signature verification failure"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
That piece is the piece that actually gives root access, so I think you are good.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Xaphino:
Alright thanks! So should I head over to TWRP to get a Rom on this? oh and will adding a Rom need unlocking?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] das0527:
Will, I'm running into the same issue with the new TF700 I exchanged yesterday at Best Buy. I've also tried reinstalling Superuser & Busybox. Nothing works. At times Root Explorer would be OK and once I actually got the Superuser app permission popup for Terminal Emulator. But Titanium still can't get root & Root Checker says I'm not rooted. I'm seriously about to give up on this...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] willjohnson:
I thought I responded to all the threads that I was discussing this issue but I apparently missed this one. I was able to get root finally by installing Baked Black Bean through TWRP. You can download TWRP from their website(I don't have a link, sorry), flash it through fastboot, then install BBB ROM, it should give you root, then install Goo Manager and update TWRP to the most current through it. Then your good to go. You must have the bootloader unlocked for this to work(only way to install custom recovery). I also have not tried to install any other ROMs yet to see if root sticks, but BBB ROM is really good so I haven't wanted to yet. Hope this helps, I know how frustrated I was getting.

I can't do

I have PadFone (IMM46I.CHT_PadFone-9.20.2.14_CHT_9.3.3-0).

I used Debugfs automated root tool.

But, " /data/local/" could not be accessed with the message "Permission denied".

So I made "/mnt/sdcard/data/local/".

But, "ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk0p21 /mnt/sdcard/data/local/tmp" command showed "link failed Function not implemented".

Please help me.

:confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sparkym3:
The sdcard is not mounted with the ability to add root privileges so that will not work. In order for this to work you would need a folder that can be granted root permission, as well as the tablet has to support following links on boot up for setting permissions (which is fixed in many of the latest versions of Android).

What tablet do you have the TF700? If so i just got mine and used this and it work just fine! try to watch my video see if that helps!

TF700, obviously, and I did check out your video - well done, BTW - but still no dice.

*EDIT: ok, tried it again from a clean PC at home, where no other Android device had ever been plugged in (I have a Galaxy Nexus and often plug it into my work laptop), and managed to get the script to work. However, no full root access. Undeterred, I Googled a bit and found this page:
