I am on a stock asus transformer prime 4.0.3 rooted with sparkyroot app. When I try to use sparkyroot to unroot it says permission denied and when I try to use the superuser app to update my su binary it also says permission denied. I am unsure of how to proceed to fix this, thank you for any help
use blob downgrade, then retry.
Probably sent through one of those little windows in AOKP cornerstone for my tf9001.
What version should I downgrade too?
Don't matter as long as it's ICS. HC is doable but risky(I think).
So,it turns out u need su privileges to downgrade, atleast based on this article http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492887 .. how should i proceed?
Try installing this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu
If you want to uninstall it be sure to follow the instruction on the play page.
I don't have that app. Not sure how that helps

Hi Guys I'm a Noob
My phone is XT910 and it has several problem so i'm going to service center.
The problem is; I cannot unroot.
I updated recently after root.
After upgrading, I can't use apps that acquire root authority.
also unrooting is impossible. I mean I cannot remove SU so I cannot go to svc center.
S/W version is 65.3.106.XT910K.KT.en.KR
Is there any solution?
and I think it's impossible, but can I downgrade?
thx for reading this.
have you checked adb shell?
is superuser unable to detect root? is superuser still on your phone after the update?
have you try to reinstall superuser or superuser update fixer from the market?

I had to replace my XT910 logicboard because I dropped it in water and couldn't repair. The new motherboard comes with a rooted OS, system setting version reading 67.145.910.XT910.ChinaRetail.en.CN. I absolutely know nothing about rooting and have never tried it, and I don't know anything about the terms used in rooting. I want to un-root my device, but I do not know how to do that. I tried DooMLoRD, but it did not work (according to what I am being informed by Voodoo OTA RootKeepr, which says super user installed, device rooted, root permission granted, /system supports root protection protocol su available.)
How can I unroot my device?
Thank you
Unrooting can be achieved easily if you're not concerned about losing data on the phone. RSDlite (5.7) back to stock with the appropriate SBF Fastboot file (can't help with locating the appropriate SBF for international; you'll have to do some sniffing around). Then you can run an OTA if you need to, and you'll be back to 100% stock with none of the previous stock rom alterations (root, etc.) remaining.
EDIT
Check HERE; you may be able to locate the proper SBF.
Hello guys
I am having i problem with my root access.
Well yesterday i was trying to instal supercharger script on my t-mobile move balance phone. Everything was fine with the progress when on i guess step 5 or something i unfortunately got a msg su: must be suid to work properly...I didint know what to do, and hit kill, all the process was canceled.Later i tried to do the progress once more from the start,when i opened busybox it said No root access, i tried to open titanium too and i got error sorry i could not acquire root privilegies this app will not work please verify that your rom is rooted and includes busybox and try again, and on every app that requires root access it says you have no root access. But i have the su icon. I also tried with factory reset, reroot it again and still the same problem i have the su icon but no root access.
I rooted my phone with superoneclick and when i try to unroot it,unfortunately i guess it needs root access too to make the unroot progres... http://prntscr.com/65iyv
When i just click root http://prntscr.com/65izi
Well it says that my phone is rooted but i got no root access and privileges on apps that requires root access.

Hi all,
I have a Transformer Prime and unfortunately I used the "official" unlock (APK) supplied by ASUS. Now I got the message "The divice is unlocked" when it boots up but I am not able to use TITANIUM BACKUP and other tools anymore because the viperMOD PrimeTime v4.1(program to unroot) also always fails.
So it seems more to be a boot unlocker but the same time it prevents the deivice from beeing rooted! WHAT A MESS!
Is there any possibilty to undo the prodedure to get an unlocked device again an then to use viperMOD PrimeTime v4.1???
Any help would be very very appreciated.
Happy Easter from Germany
Hans
PS: another prob is that after unlocking I am not able to perform VIPERMOD to root the device (there are some issues with Su Binary). It would help if somebody could teach me how to get unrooted again because without Titanium Backup and other Apps I feeling lost :=)
Unlock Cannot be undone, viper mod should work either way if that doesnt work search for sparky root apk its an alternative root method you can find in the development section
- Cheers
It doesn't work with me

Sorry to say it doesn't work. On step 2 there is a message:" SU file does not exist or have correct permissions ... click INSTALL again to install anyway"
I clicked INSTALL (#3) ==> MEssage "Successfully installed Superuser app"
Then I clicked CLEANUP(#4)==> "Cleanup success"
EXIT
But Titaium say: NO ROOT PERMISSION
Do you can imagine what went wrong?
All the best and greetings from Germany

PS: I have Build# 2.4.2.21
Maybe this tool doesn't work with that
Just flash custom rom to gain root

AFAIK, there is no root for *.21 yet. As someone else said, now that you have an unlocked bootloader, you can just load a custom ROM to gain root. I think that I saw one here that described itself as a stock stock custom ROM, if you want to stay with a stock ROM for some reason.
ok I know I'm a total noob but I really need you guys help. I have a transformer prime tf201 and it WAS rooted until i accidently unrooted it. When it was rooted it currently run a custom rom called CyanogenMod. The device is currently UNROOTED. But the bootloader is UNLOCK. Every time I try to root with SparkyRoot it say "Exploit Still not found". and when I try to root with other method it say that permission was denied when it tried to copy the files to my tablet. I was wondering what would happen if I downgraded my firmware to .15 And try to root it that way?

search twrp root
Let me start off by saying I'm a total noob. I have rooted my device before, but that was so long ago I forgot everything. Anyway I don't remember how my tablet got this way because I haven't used it in a while, but I have superuser installed yet I have no root access. I opened up the Voodoo Rootkeeper and it says super user app is installed, device is rooted, but root permission hasn't been granted.
So I tried to root again on top of it hoping it would work but now I just have another superuser app. Somebody please help me get root access.

Use motochopper to root it properly.

Thats what I used this last time when I tried to root it. It installed the second superuser app and when I opened it, it said that I needed to update binary or something like that. But I still had no root access after using motochopper.

I had the same issue after the last OTA. Root was lost and OTA rootkeeper didn't work.
This worked for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038464
After successfully unlocking and installing TWRP and root, I went on to install this (but you can stop here if you don't want a different ROM): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674827
I'm delighted by this ROM. Much better than stock.

I did a lot of searching, and tried several methods, but I couldn't find a solution which worked. Is your Prime still under warranty? If not, there's no reason not to unlock.

No its not. I just have no reason to unlock. I dont care about custom ROMs and I would like to be able to return it to stock if I want to later.
