I upgraded to ICS last night without saving root.
Shame on me right? I'm sure I'm not the only one.
Has someone posted instructions on doing it? I didn't see it posted here.

Install ROM manager from play store to get CWM, Virtuous ROM fits the bill for nearly stock with a few tweaks.
Virtuous prime all the way! Also of you ever need to watch Google movies, flask aokp, version .21, and temp unroot with voodoo ota keeper and then you can watch! Good luck!
ok, so got rom manager but fails to flash cwm. permissions error or some such thing

Are you rooted with superuser app installed. You'll need to give ROM manager root access permission.
no not rooted and on .21 so i guess i am stuck for a while. will i be able to root without access to a pc? when .21 is rooted of course

I honestly do not know. Sorry fella.
if i am not mistaken, since you are unlocked you can install CMW manually, and install the virtuous rom manually and then install the CM9 nightly which is as minimalist as you can get

He would need to have access to a PC for this. His question was whether this could be done without said access.

Yeah, definitely needs either root or a PC to install CWM Recovery.
ok, so snookered for a while, although everything is running ok at the moment. when a root does appear is it likely to be a stand alone process or will i require pc to root it. cheers

You don't need a computer just go to the touch thread in the dev section and you can do it through terminal which doesn't need root unless you run an SU command.
Edit: you do need to run SU command sorry
just reading the "touch" thread and it seems i need to be rooted. or am i reading this wrong

why, if asus supply an unlocker for the prime why not supply a tool to root/unlock? what benefit is and unlocked prime without root?

Corrected for grammar.
Anyways, you can still flash cwm using the fastboot method which means that you can get into a custom rom and have root.

I have heard that rooting my dear Prime is the thing to do.. But the thing is that I have spent a whole lot of time customizing my layout, and I was just wondering if by rooting, all my settings and work will reset?

If you only root the device, you won't loose any settings or anything what so ever.
You'll just gain the Superuser app and therefore root.
If you unlock it using ASUS's unlocking tool and install a new ROM, then your settings will be reset.
Sweet, thank you for quick answer Do you, possibly, have a quick link to an easy way to root?

What update are you on?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA Premium HD app
Well, you can do it, but it involves downgrading to an older firmware temporarily. And I'm not too sure how this will affect all your data, it should leave it intact but I don't really know. Back up everything before-hand just in case, so that you'll only have to redo your homescreens and system settings.

Hi Knu2lav!
Fellow Norwegian I'm guessing? I've downgraded to .15 and rooted. I haven't upgraded back to .21 but an OTA update won't change your lay out.
Here's a link to How-To videos, there are also other great threads on this topic in general if you search.

Hi,
So i did the manual update to jelly bean 4.1.1 to my asus tf 201 while back and lost root
Now i realized how much I need root.
Whats the options I have to regain root?
I got US Variant locked bootloader
I think your only option is to unlock at this point. Stick androwook on there.
i need it too.
