Root TF201 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having no success attempting to root with sparkym3’ root tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=root+sparkym3
I have a TF201 9.4.2.28 and have:
drivers installed
enabled "unknown sources" & "USB Debugging"
pressed 1 and followed directions
proceeded through step 1 and rebooted,
step 2 and rebooted, tested superuser,
and "uid and gid should both be 0, are they? answered 'y'
installed superuser.apk and rebooted
However when I run root checker to verify root access "sorry, this device does not have proper root access"
Can anyone please advise?!?

Did you try using superoneclick for your phone? It might work better and thats how I rooted my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682

i have a similar problem ive downloaded both the folders yet i dont know what to do with them and how to root my asus tf201 v9.4.2.28 on ics 4.0.3 have you had success in rooting yours if so please let me know how you did this step by step please.

Try superuser

Upgrading to kitkat is much worse
The support is minimal and contradictory.
It took weeks to figure out that I couldn't unlock mine because it had no serial number.
At least asus helped me out there, eventually.

[Q] Transformer Prime TF201 won't unlock or root...

Hi, I have been trying to root and unlock my prime TF201 (JB 10.4.2.17 - stock) which I bought a few months ago. I am at my wits end. I have searched through most of the guides here and walked through most of them (thanks to everyone for their hard work, because they are all well written!) and I keep running into these roadblocks...
When trying to run the Asus Unlock Tool V6, I get an error message "unknown error, this may be caused by a network connection or contact your administrator". When using any of the other methods from the guides here on XDA, I get various errors (i.e. "adbd cannot run as root in production builds" or "permission denied" or "file not found" - apparently su and root do not exist either).
I can't boot into recovery, I get the "dead android with an exclamation point" and then it cold boots. I can get to the fastboot screen, but then I can't access my device. I installed a terminal program (better terminal emu) on the tablet, but I still can't get root access to copy the files where they need to be.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
Error on ASUS Unlock Tool may be caused by network problem or their servers being overloaded - it happens. You can wait or check if server is up by pinging it (better if from your Prime, but from another computer in same network will be fine). Address is mdm.asus.com
About "dead android with an exclamation point" - it may be there becouse of update.zip on SD card - recovery tries automatically update system. You should delete it if any.
This may not be solution but full wipe helps sometimes

Many people are having issues with the Unlock tool. Did you ever have to send it in for RMA service? ASUS isn't really doing what they can to support this tool, so unfortunately it sounds like you may be out of luck until they do something about it. It is certainly worth a shot to try it every so often and see if it works...
There is not a known exploit in our current JB OTA to allow rooting without unlocking. You would have needed to root on ICS and used voodoo or supersu to protect your root for the update. The issue here is there just aren't many devs working on our platform any longer. From my understanding the ADB restore exploit should in all reality work with our tabs... with some tweaking.
Thank you both for responding so quickly! Unfortunately, this tablet came with the latest update applied so I guess I will have to deal with it until Asus decides to update their bootloader unlocker. In the meantime, I will most likely search for a work around or another exploit to get the bootloader unlocked because I happen to be impatient If I find anything (that works) I will be sure to post it here in the forum.
Have a good day!

Hello, just rooted may Padfone JellyBean 4.1.1
1. Download Bootloader Unlocker from ASUS website
vvv.asus.com/Tablets_Mobile/PadFone/#support_Download_32
Unpack it in your computer, move it to your phone and install it. Turn on WIFI or Mobile Internet, run the Unlocker and install it /follow the onscreen instructions.
2. Download this
matthill.eu/content/downloads/transformerprime-root/motochopper.zip
For your info matthill.eu/android/root-transformer-prime-jellybean-update/
3. Enable USB debugging
4. Run run.bat file, should root your phone in a minute. Mine was rooted the way, that it pushed all the files in phone and I got success, but also my phone was frozen. I just removed the battery and started the phone again and I was rooted! I unistalled all the software I hated - like vibe, news etc. For that you need to install root unistaller from android market.
I have Padfone 1, WW firmware 4.1.1 Android.

Try this:
xttp//visualgdb.com/adbfix/ put http
Also I have to mention, that I had NOT INSTALLED sync software in coomputer. Only drivers for Padfone where installed. Maybe to unistall sync software, or to try to follow the steps in link. Also if sucessfull post it here, so that we have all another experience and solution.
Well. I uninstalled syn apps, ran motochopper again and got SUCCESS, but the phone is still not rooted!!! I'm looking around for anything else I can try, I'll keep you posted, maybe someone out there has another idea??

Before restart your phone. Padfone unlocker also installed and runned? If you got success, Try to instal superuser app and run it, give it acces. Also try to install ROOT Uninstaller. You should be able to unistall also system apps like asus vibe etc......

Hi, Bro.
1) I have the problem with SuperUser. "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
2) After run the "run.bat" file and success, error occur and PadFone shut down by itself. I have to switch on the phone by myself. Is it rebooting itself if the rooting process success?

Hi again, Bro.
Finally I rooted successful. Really frozen that time. But it will be rooted after switch on again. Solution from me is Unlock the Padfone again. And run the "run.bat" file. It should be okay. Must frozen in padfone, do not let it shut itself down. Mean the "run.bat" show "SUCCESS !" only. And I unplug the USB cable. It is alright if the error occur. Just switch on the PadFone, it should be rooted now. Thank.
This is my situation to root the PadFone, I am not sure it will happen on other PadFone too. Post it if you have another solution to root PadFone.
Thanks, it worked for me by unplugging the usb cable as soon as it shows "SUCCESS" and then I tried to shutdown the phone but I had to remove the battery. After powering it on again I got root.

install root checker basic on play store
enable usb debugging first in the developer options
(if you don't know how to get developer options, click on build number 7 times in the "about tablet" option)
plug your tablet into your computer and install the adb driver: adbdriver(dot)com/upload/AdbDriverInstaller(dot)exe
after installing the driver, unplug your tablet, then install kingo root: kingoapp(dot)com
launch kingo root and plug your tablet into your computer (make sure usb debugging is checked)
then root your tablet, if it says "root status: yes" then click on "root again"
reboot your tablet and open supersu, update the su binary (normal installation only)
reboot again, open root checker, click on verify root, supersu will popup, click on grant
if it says "sorry! this device..." then close root checker, open it, and click verify root
then you should have root access
sorry for my bad english

T-Mobile Coolpad Rogue 3320A - Any one working on Recovery/Roms for this?

So I as successfully able to root the phone using the Windows version of Kingo Root and then installed Super Su and Busy Box but I can't get a recovery to work on it, yet.....would love a Recovery like TWRP or Phil's and CM13 port for this phone.
Finally got it rooted with KingRoot
Just noticed that the build.prop has the ro.build.id-LMY47V
That's the 5.1.1 for the 2013 Nexus 7

Hi I would to know how you rooted the Coolpad Rogue 3320A. I was looking at Kingo root and KingRoot and they dont give good instructions.
I tried the android versions of both KingRoot and Kingo Root without success. The Windows version of Kingo Root failed but the Windows version of KingRoot succeeded in rooting my Coolpad Rogue 3320A.
The Kingo Root Windows app gives instructions in English when you run it. Which are to connect the phone to the computer with a USB cable and enable "USB debugging" in the phone's "Settings" under "Developer options'. Then click the ROOT button when it appears. KingRoot is in Chinese, but I just followed the same procedure.
To get "Developer options" to show in the phone's settings , you need to give 7 or 8 taps to the "Build number" under "About phone" in the phone's "Settings".
Before I tried rooting I also ran COOLPAD-140926-SETUP.EXE in the CD Drive labeled "Coolpad_USB_Driver" that shows up in Windows Explorer when the phone is connected to the PC by USB cable. I also installed minimal ADB and Fastboot and Google USB drivers using 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118 But I think that they may not have been necessary.
The version of Windows KingRoot I had success with was KingRootSetup_v3.1.0.1125_105002.exe downloaded from kingroot.net
There's a setting in the developer options to allow the bootloader to be unlocked. I've not tried to fastboot to work yet.
"Vanilla" ROM or at least vanilla dialer/phone apps?
I'm interested in some kind of vanilla dialer/phone/telecom app set (5.1.1 based) or a full ROM that's AOSP so that I can toss out T-Mo's "Wi-Fi Calling" and use the built-in Android SIP client with its normal configuration screens.
If anyone has accomplished the same with this device or any other T-Mo 5.1 based device, please let me know. I'd really like to be able to configure the system dialer to connect to my SIP PBX directly rather than use a half dozen hacks to give me half-working VoIP calling of my own.
(Note: If there's a T-Mo 4.4 based image out there, that would suffice, as I can at least make VoIP apps intercept dial requests, which T-Mo Wi-Fi Calling prevents on 5.1. This device shipped with 5.1, but it might be possible that a similar model's ROM image might work on this as well.)
/system image
anyone with a rooted 3320a that might be able to provide me with a stock(or rooted stock) image of /system? i managed to softbrick my device after rooting and i forgot to do a dd of the system partition before mucking around in it
thanks in advance

My Arise don't have a custom recovery either. This kind of disappoints me, as this phone is a good phone for the price.
However, I thought I'd share with you guys that Root Genius may also work to root the Rogue as it does root my Arise. (I don't own a Rogue, so I can't confirm this.) It's always better to have more than one way to root your phone safely right?

You CAN root this with the Kingroot apk.
I'm new and can't post links so to make the links below work just abbrev the http and add a colon.
As soon as I can post links I will fix them.

Here's what I did:
1) download latest kingroot Hypertexttransferprotocol//androidmtk.com/download-kingroot-application
2) enable USB debugging in developer options
3) enable OEM boot loader unlock in developer options
6) enable unsigned APKs
7) install kingroot apk
8) run kingroot
9)?
10) PROFIT
Will update with better details later. Sorry for mistakes and formatting I'm on my rooted coolpad rouge.
