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.

Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
One way to check is to check the root of the sdcard for a file called unlock_time.txt

1. See if you can get OTA update.
2. Contact Asus through e-mail or phone, and give them your serial number, and ask if it is unlocked.
Try using the blob downgrade method. If it bricks then your bootloader was unlocked.

Family , who needs them, my [email protected]%kwit nephew decided i needed my prime unlocked while he was playing on it. now do i have any way of installing cwm and a new rom if i have no access to a pc? bought the prime to replace a broken laptop. so very happy with it. does everything i need but now feel a little fooked. also what would be the best rom for someone who wants an up to date near as damn it stock rom but with just a few tweaks. rather have stability over cutting edge advancements but dont wanna be too far behind

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

cool, well got my fingers crossed sparkyroot gets updated for .21 soon

Do we need to be locked and stock for these to work ? I've tried CM9 nightly and aokp and with either ROM I get no GPS connectivity at all.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
The rom has to be based off of .21 from what I've read
Being locked probably doesn't matter after, but if you have an unlocked s/n you aren't going to get the dongle.
