Oh well i will search more then, cause i thought that stock jelly bean couldnt be rooted, if i can what software should i use? Thks
No root to date. Had you rooted it prior and usd some rootkeeper tools you might still have root now.
Im sure there will be something out in due time.
yeah thought so, thks

I just got mines 3 days ago. I know the pros and cons of rooting since I have my Evo rooted( see my signature ) . Should root my Prime or not ? I am I missing much ? The thing is, I know how time consuming can be. Or can I just root and dont flash roms , just to get superuser and Titanium back up and such ?

Rooting was actually very easy thanks to these guys...

But as far as I know you can't install new ROM's just yet. But for running apps that require root such as TB, it works great.
I finally decided to try out Watching a movie via the market, excuse me, via play ;-) and I noticed that it wasn't working so I decideed to look it up and saw what I had assumed was true: I can't watch it because I'm rooted. Just now I decided to try it on my rooted Asus Transformer and to my surprise it worked perfectly!
I'm running a GB rom on my TF whereas I'm running an ICS rom on my Rezound, could it be some new protection in ICS?

there are temporary root hiders I think.
I suggest Temp Root Remover... by Zachsandroidapps
It should work for what your looking to do,>
Oddly enough, I can still watch movies on my rooted rezound running ICS, AND on my rooted tf101 running honeycomb. However on my other rooted tf101 running Team EOS ICS, not allowed....

I also am blocked but I'm on a GB rom.
I saw the hiders, just curious why it worked on one rooted device and not another.
Could be that the other devices don't look rooted to the app for some reason.
I've used OTA Rootkeeper to use it and Amazon Prime Video with success.

Me too. It means there I obviously one way around it.. at least for now. I just have to figure out what it is...
why would they care if you/we are rooted?

People who distribute the media do, because they think that if you are rooted, you can break the stream protection and "steal" the content.
Is there even anyone trying to root .21??
I really do not want to unlock.

Yes there are ppl TRYING to root but it will take some time. Unlock or be happy what you have

Shame to be in this boat again (no salvation from voodoo here), especially when this thing has such a nice stock ROM. Alas, with the avail of unlock versus effort needed to root, I expect we'll have to flash, flash, flash.
Ok can you lot give me a few good reasons to root my transformer prime and install a new ROM. I've been looking at some of the ROMs and they all look kinda.... **** lol no offence. they just look to much like the prime unrooted but with a few changed to colour really :/
i rooted my SGS2 and installed the muiu ROM i think its called and thats great i llove it. it looks different and that's what i want
someone prove me wrong please
Do you want full control over your device? The ability to get rid of the asus crapware and run your own things? I too rooted my SGS2 after about a week of owning it and haven't regretted it.
With root you can install adblockers, backup tools (proper ones), overclocking
If you're technically minded and want to get the most out of your money then root, if you don't want to risk damaging your Aluminium piece of sexy then don't.

Rooting is definitely the way to go, doesnt affect your ability to get ota's and what not, if you want to unlock i say wait a lil bit longer to find out when or if ASUS is going to release nvflash to us, granted it definitely looks promising giving Gary Key's latest update.
That said if you want to unlock you can still get AOKP from jermaine just not from here, whether he is still supporting the rom is an entirely different question
hmmmmm ok i dont know i suppose i could just get root access and keep it as stock then. im going to have to find out how to root this now sigh lol research.. i'll look it in about 3 hours lol
I would highly suggest you root it since if any things happen you can just factory default the tablet and it'll be unrooted
So there's really nothing to loss rooting it
Just make sure after you root your device you backup the root so you don't loss it after you update the prime
lol you lost me after backing up my root. =/
i just tried to use sparkyroot but it doesnt seem to be working. im going to look at other methods.
dont think i can root it can i im currently on 9.4.2.21
Check the general thread, there is a way to downgrade and then root it without unlocking.

My Asus Transformer prime TF201 is rebooting after every 30 mins on JB update. I am sick of it. !!!
Any way to roll back to ICS ? or solution on this?
I've heard that if you do a factory reset it should help that. Sucks but it might be one way. As fas as I know u need unlocked boot loader and the right files to be able to go back k to ICS. I'm on JB and rolling smooth.

My TF201 has also been rebooting regularly since I upgraded to Jelly Bean. It usually happens when no other activity is taking place. I have seen other posts that say that the hard reset does not fix the problem. Has anyone gotten through to ASUS? I have called and emailed them to no avail so far.
I also have had this problem after upgrading. Not found a solution to it.
