Can anyone tell me if it's worth it to root the Transformer Prime? If so, do all the peripherals on the keyboard dock from your knowledge? Is it possible to overclock the stock ROM when only rooted? I would like to only overclock and possibly use CM9 but if the peripherals on the dock nor tablet(hdmi) don't work, I don't wanna bother with the headaches. Any Ideas!!
To root the prime is simple but to be able to overclock and flash roms you will have to unlock the bootloader. The problem with that is that once you unlock your bootloader it voids your warranty and asus gets ur s/n. Even if there is a way to revert it they still have your s/n so your warranty is still voided. Check this thread out that has user feedback on the unlocking process.
If you just want root permission that will not void your warranty its just an easy step but you need an app to maintain root after you reboot. Hope I helped you and sorry if this is not quite what you were looking for. I have mine rooted but not unlocked so can not tell you about the keyboard functions with cm9. To what I have read there should not be any problems but I cant guarantee it ask this question in the TF201 Q&A forums.

I've already read but unlock the bootloader is a mess .. then a curiosity, I still gotta do replace the screen, should I do now or even further?

If you have to replace the screen you need warranty for that. If you root your device you will lose your warranty and have to pay for the fix.
So, first go to warranty, fix your device and then root.
Hi XDA users
My prime is in RMA waiting to be fixed as I had bricked it. It will cost me $200AU to fix the motherboard apparently, but before I pay them I was just wondering if I am able to unlock the device and root again, as some people have posted that they are unable to unlock or root after RMA. I asked the tech and he said it will come back running 10.4.2.16, I was just wondering if there was a way to unlock and root the device, or is it on a firmware which is going to be stuck on stock forever I have only a few days to reply to the tech, so any information, steps, or guides on how to unlock and root (unlock mainly) would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys and gals
Also if it helps I am in Australia

I would check back with him that you have the correct build number. 10.4.2.16 was not a public release.
Hello all.
Just had a quick question that I hope someone might be able to help me with.
I am thinking of rooting my prime to play with a custom rom or two.
From what I read about rooting it seems like it is just pushing files based on a tutorial I saw.
Does the tablet actually need to be unlocked to root the tablet and install a custom rom or can I just follow that method without unlocking it?
Also if I decide to go back to stock can I flash a image from Asus to make that happen like you can with Odin on Samsung devices?
Thank you in advance and for your time.
Hey all, I've just got my Z5C the other day and just can't seem to get on with it due to the lack of gravitybox tweaks I've been spoiled by and other things like DPI changing without breaking swiftkey.
I'm on the latest firmware (32.0.A.6.152) and wondered if it was possible to root on this version? Thanks all
Yes, it is possible to root using TWRP.
To rephrase it, it is possible to root if unlocked bootloader, not possible with locked bootloader
Next to that, for me it didn't work out to install Xposed framework without running into lots of crashes and reboots (with no modules installed).
is it that hard to do forum search?
Thanks for the useful comments guys!
Just another one, on the z3 series I read about loss of camera quality due to DRM keys when unlocking the bootloader. Is this still the case for the z5?
Also, is it possible to re-lock the bootloader?
Thanks again

Dude go read other comments in the root topic and you will find you awnser. Is it that hard to take some time and do some research before asking some **** thats been awnserd a 1000000000 times
Hi all!! Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me, or indeed if you know where I could read more on this subject, I would be very grateful!!
I have an S7 exynos version and would like to root it.
I'm worried about the fact that if I have to return or repair it, the "knox counter" will indicate that I was rooted and I will not be eligible for warranty services. Is this true?
Also, apart from being able to run "root" apps, is there anything else I should be aware of once the phone is rooted? Any known bugs, or security concerns?
And what happens regarding updates? Do they function as normal, or do you need to re-root with each big update?
