PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT MY WORK AND ALL CREDITS TO THE DEVELOPER.
I am just bringing this to the attention of users of the prime like myself.
Also i have NOT used this method, i used the downgrade method, so i cant comment if it works but comments in the thread seem to show it works.
yeah, there are a few 201 owners that tried and said it works. we may have a more simpler automated tool coming shortly. keep an eye out for it. this is great news for prime owners. i personally don't like all that hassel of downgrading and upgrading and blah blah..lol
Damn and I just unlocked mine to have root. Oh well wooky made a great stock replacement
When i read about the downgrade-methode i thought "wouldnt it be nice to just copy su binary into the writable filesystem" but i didnt know about debugfs...
i just tried it on my t201 - now i am a happy owner of a rooted transformer *woohu!*

I didn't know about debugfs either, that's why it took me 24h to get the root.
I started to develop my own tool to mess up with partition contents, but didn't find any good reference for ext4.
Then I thought, let's try to just patch an existing tool like fsck.ext4, and I found debugfs in the source tree of e2fsprogs

Rooting went like a breeze Thank you very much for this method. I've got one question about your code though. I'm by no means a linux cmd guru but when I look at these lines of code:
Code:
$ cd /data/local
$ rm /data/local/tmp
$ mv /data/local/tmp.back /data/local/tmp
$ chmod 755 /data/local/debugfs
$ /data/local/debugfs -w /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
It seems to me that the first line is not necessary, as you specify full paths in your code. Wouldn't it be easier to remove that line, or even better: just shorten the paths like this:
Code:
$ cd /data/local
$ rm tmp
$ mv tmp.back tmp
$ chmod 755 debugfs
$ ./debugfs -w /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
Would mean a lower risk of typo's Or is there some issue with adb and or debugfs why you choose to put the commands like this?
Again, just curious
I have created an automated tool using this root method and am looking for confirmation that it works on a Transformer Prime.

I just sucessfully rooted .28 with no previous rooting done. Used the v1.5 posted on the first page of the thread above. I did have to install superuser.apk from the market and busybox. But it is now fully rooted.
I actually tried supersu.apk first, but it failed. But after playing a few minutes, its all working.
I installed the update before I seen this thread on rooting .21 without a downgrade.
automated tool works fine on my .21
installed OTA keeper now and updating to .28 just in case

"This tool will root your device based on the debugfs root method developed by miloj.
Just download and unzip everything into a directory; then run RootDebugfs.bat from that directory (if you do not currently have the device drivers for your transformer, they are attached to this post, please install them, please use them to install your device before attempting the process).
Neither ADB nor the SDK need to be installed as all needed files are included in the attachments below (though it won't hurt anything if they are)."
okay I'm thinking of rooting - but need some advice - I have the latest updates from ASUS (4.0.3) and have never rooted. What are the main benefits of rooting - I'm thinking I'll probably be using Sixaxis (for joystick access in games), the touchscreen fixer app so I can use a stylus better, and titanium backup - any other good apps/tools that need root that I should be looking at?
I was thinking of waiting till ASUS release the ota 4.1 upgrade before rooting - what do you think - better to root now while I know I still can? Still no definite date from ASUS for Jellybean
Finally, I was going to use sparkym3's automated method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1706588) - is this the best/easiest way to go?
Thinking about rooting the tfp for the first time. What's the best way from .28?
Currently this is the only way to root .28 if you haven't rooted before. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706588

I have had great success with that tool. I was on .21 rooted, but OTArootkeeper didnt keep root (derp) so I rooted with Debugfs, just do what it says on the tool and make sure you have the drivers and you're away.
It also adds the Superuser app
Worked for me But....

The root method worked like a charm on my TFP .28
I used root checker and it confirmed that I have root access.
However, most of my root apps are not working and say that they have no root access, despite allowing them using Superuser app.
Could it be with the error I got on step two (Check Attached.)

I tried to update the binary and this is what I get (Check Attached.)
Same problem. Still most root apps not working
Personally, I was able to get the debugfs batch file to work properly, but it took some doing.
My .28 TF Prime wouldn't reboot fast enough for the batch file to work right, so I ended up messing around with the batch file a bit to get it to work.
Even still, the second reboot was too slow and it failed to install superuser. However, I just downloaded SU from the Play Store and it worked fine.
I would recommend running the debugfs batch file again and see if that might fix the issue since your SU binary is already up to date.

Titanum backup is actually one of the apps that work.
I'm having problems with other root apps.
And yes; they do ask for root access and I grant them.
I will try to use Super SU. But will I have to disable the original SuperUser app? And how?

hey guys i need some help plz!!!
i had rooted my asus prime.......and my bootloader was still locked, after i rooted my device i also had rootkeeper to protect it incase i update.....to make a long story short, i was so anxious when jelly bean was released i wasnt thinking so i proceeded without temp unroot first before i did the update......so after everything completed i went to restore my root access and it was gone..........was so pissed off, so now from every research i did it says that there is no current root options for the prime jelly bean, anybody knows how to get it back or a way to root again.....im willing to downgrade if i can to get back my root access. please help!!!
You can't downgrade without using the ASUS unlocker tool. Yeah, I know... shocked me too....
There isnt a working root method working as of yet if you are certain you have lost root access.
Some people report having partial root and even having some apps that still retained root. If none of that applies to you then your screwed with the rest of us.

If your prompt changes to # in ADB then that means you should have root access. With that you can restore full root properly to your device. You may be one of the lucky ones that just needs to uninstall and reinstall Superuser.

Well it did give me hope when I saw that but I can't get past stage 11 in this guide . I just cannot get ADB to mount /system as RW . Also entering su in Terminal Emulator gets "permission denied" and Superuser itself "fails" at updating binary.

What is the error when you issue the remount command? if I type remount I get: "remount: not found"
There is also an executeable that came with one of the 10000 root packages I have tried called fsrw. Pushing it to /data/local/tmp with ADB then running it via the adb shell out of that path should try to perform the remount.
If you are getting "operation denied" then you don't really have root =/

Well.. I believe that everyone who'd not consider unlocking their tablets before the JB update would not unlock after losing root just because of the warranty, probably not because they don't know how but because about half of the forumers don't think it's worth the risk considering the hardware instabilities like the green camera module, light bleed etc.
And since you've already flashed a custom recovery you've unlocked more than just root, why not try a custom ROM based on stock JB?
Hello guys, i have a question here, i bought this tablet from Focalprice:

Well, i search on google, and use the tool here on XDA to find some information, but its impossible to find anything about this processor, and those tablets... I know they are simple tablets, but someone know if i can ROOT this thing using CWM and put some light ROM, or Cymod?

How is your answer supposed to help anybody? People buy cheap tablets for a lot of reasons, I bought this to use it for a home automation system and it's perfectly fit for this purpose.
I'm also interested in rooting it, so any information ( ROMs , ideas on how to root it or how to make a ROM dump without root, etc) would be much appreciated.

Maybe nobody will develop a rooting method for this kind of tablets, but there could be an existing method that works ¿isnt it? hope so.

If you or somebody else can provide/find the original ROM I might be able to root it. I'm not an expert but I've managed to root an "unrootable" android tv box once. I've asked the guys at focalprice for the ROM but they didn't answer my email and I don't have too much hope given their awful customer service.
Oh thanks! Ill try to find it with someone on ebay, or google, if i find it i tell you! Thanks! )
Same problem for me. Excelent tablet, bu timpossible to root. When I try (with different methods: unlockroot,z4root, superoneclick, root bin4ay, rootx...) a massage say that is rooted, but when I try to install Superuser don't work for me. Please, help!
I asked for sellers on ebay to try to find the rom with the providers, but have no awnser yet, if u can, try it too! ^^
Me too on focal price. If i know something, I will post about it. Is very a rare case...

Nice! Thanks!
Still no answer from focalprice on my side and I think the best chance to find the ROM is via ebay sellers. I've tried a few methods of rooting the tablet without any luck and I came to the conclusion (with my limited knowledge) that the problem is related to the file system the ROM is packed, which doesn't allow changing file permissions. I can't go further without risking bricking my tablet, but if we find the original ROM I may be able to unpack /repack it, changing the permissions in the process. It may be a long shot but it's worth a try.
Thanks everybody for your efforts!
Fast response from focalprice: a word file with how to use this tablet: on, off, mute, how listen to the music...wow!
IF you find the rom ok, but you can't use it because the recovery is not present on this tablet. If you can do somethins, please, post it.
Thanks :good:

Hello friends!
I'm completly frustated. Google is burned with my researches. I have found this video and I think that is our tablet, but this combination don't work for me. Any idea?
Thank you for the info. I've tried the method in the video and it doesn't work on my tablet either, so probably we have a different model. Even if there is no recovery mode as the guys from focalprice say, I am sure that the ROM can be updated/reinstalled somehow, via usb maybe?
I'll keep trying to make a ROM dump from my tablet and I'll post here if I succeed.

Okay, I found a way to root it, but its on different device (Infotmic GF20). Firstly you have to enter recovery mode with adb (adb reboot recovery), then disconnect and reconnect usb cable, enter adb shell. If you have # as prompt, you can continue - it will work on your device too - if not, you have to obtain firmware from seller to root it. If you have #, type
Code:
ubiattach -m 1
busybox mount -tubifs /dev/ubi0_0 /system
Then exit adb shell, get su binaries and supersu app, and pull them to the device:
Code:
adb push su /system/xbin/
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell ln /system/xbin/su /system/bin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/bin/su
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
adb shell push supersu.apk /system/app/
Reboot device and it should work
OMG! Incredible!
My problem is the seller: they don't have the firmware, but I will try to understand all the process and I will try.
Thanks, thanks and thanks

Don't works for me. I can see the recovery (thanks), but when I unplug and plug the device, windows (xp) don't recognize the tablet. I use the Universal ADB drivers https://github.com/koush/UniversalAdbDriver, but I think that are the correct drivers. Any idea? Thanks! :good:
Here we have the solition, but I don't understand the recovery mode driver installation...
So I bricked my Kinde Fire HDX by changing the build.prop and not fixing permissions. I have adb access but no root (I don't know why :S). Would a factory reset work? If not, how can I get to fix the build.prop or replace it with the old one? thank very much, I've been a couple hours looking for solution but I couldn't find any.
No, a factory reset would only break it further. It would remove your adb access and not fix anything. What makes you think you lost root? Have you tried "adb shell" then "su"?

I used the HDX ToolKit v0.92 to check the root access, and it said "Please grant root on your device"
I've also tried "adb shell", and then "su", but it just returns "su" again. I am new with adb commands so I don't really know what it should show.
Thank you very much for your help
May I ask what version you were on before you bricked?

Nope, I couldn't find any way to get root acces again. But nevermind, my new kindle fire will be here in two days. I am surprised how well amazon costumer service works. Even though I bought my kindle in the US and now I am in Spain (not going back), they called me from the US for free, and they are paying all the shipping costs and sending it by priority shipping.
I am still interested if anyone knows how to fix it, just for fun
well

It sounds like to me that you still root access you just were not mounted RW in other words it would not boot up completely so you could hit allow to the adb Shell. So you will have to mount system rw manually Try last 3 pages of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588608. He can fix you most likely if you can comprehend and follow directions.. or if ur understanding adb is fair you'll be able to probably extract your repair from the thread as is.

I've tried what it is said in the other thread. However, the problem there is that the guy cannot get his device to be recognized.
I've tried this:
adb root
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system *****- if this fails, try: mount -o remount /system
chmod 644 /system/build.prop
chown root.root /system/build.prop
reboot
But adb root gives me this error:
adbd cannot run as root in production builds
On the other hand if I skip the "adb root" step I cannot go further than "su" since I don't get the "[email protected]:/ #" line.

FIXED!!!!!
The chinese software worked! Thank you very much! As I first rooted with towelroot I wasn't aware that it was possible to root without booting into android! I think I won't edit the build.prop again lol.

Ok now use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532818 and uninstall romanager from pc...and reboot... And BTW modifying your build prop is alot easier useing build prop editing app. It takes care of permissions anyway as long as you entrys are correct..

Good call on RomMaster. I have no idea what it is doing since I haven't had any time to look at it, but I'd figured it was an app like TR. At any rate, nicely done. :good:

I'm not sure either that's why when I used it I was on a blacklisted unit and I kept the PC and the tablet and airplane mode at all times. Until I was certain I got all the files off of both before I let them go to Wi-Fi Chinese files that is.. But one thing I was very curious about is if you open that tool up the Chinese tool that is an you go to the same page you would hit the anchor to root to your device just below that it says fastboot I'm wondering if they have a fastboot working for also too bad nobody here know Chinese..
