Now I've installed abd drivers, but.. look this image :/

Now I've deleted the previus driver, I've rebooted the system, I've installed the official Asus drivers and I've rebooted the system.. Now, "Run" stops at "Pushing exploit"..
I've reboot the tablet. I've now SuperSU, but "Eseguire SU non presente, e SuperSU non può installarlo, questo è un problema"
Translate found on internet.. "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!"
I've tried again with motochopper's "run", but stops always at "Pushing exploit"..

We proceed camly...
I would ROOT and change ROM. Do I need the recovery?
If yes, how can I install recovery?
Then, how can I obtain root permits?
Please explain step by step. I do not speak English very well.
I'm pretty inexperienced with Transformer Prime.
I just tinkered with my HTC Wildfire S.
I tried to install touch recovery on my Asus Trasformers Prime TF201, with Android 4.1.1
with this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-pW05Jf87dg
But I have this error on prompt:
sending 'recovery'
Okay
'writing 'recovery'
Failed (remote : (invalid state))
finished
Why? I have to do "wipe data"?

Forget this. You cannot install a custom recovery without unlocking. But you can obtain root without doing that.
From the screenshot you posted in your OP, it seems the drivers were working. You successfully copied to the phone the files needed to root but the batch file hangs at the point where it should install Superuser.apk.
First check which version of Android you are on. The motochopper root exploit only works on Jelly Bean.
If you are definitely on 4.1.1, try downloading the motochopper package again from THIS THREAD.
If you get stuck again, try asking there. It is in the TF300 section but the method is the same.
And slow down. Read more first.

Thank for the reply.
I've already tried with Motochopper for TF300.
Only the first time I saw this: http://i745.photobucket.com/albums/xx94/Simone_S1994/Cattura_zpsf3cc381a.png than it stops always at "Pushing exploit".
How I can unlock my tablet?
Solved!
Now I have root and custom recovery.
Is there a way to overclock? Or to install a firmware better?

Yes I've tried the unlock tool. doesn't work for me.. I'm running 4.1.1. I don't understand what is causing it not to work. Probably hardware issue. I've read that if there is a conflict with the MAC address and the device serial number in the Asus data base the unlock code won't be sent.
I bought it used so I don't know the history. I was hoping that someone found a way around the unlock tool. Thanks

The unlock device steps finished successfully, but how can I confirm I am unlocked?
Also, when i tried Motochopper and Framaroot and they don't find the exploit....?
Lastly, after successfully completing the TWRP recovery steps; it hangs after booting and selecting RCK with volume up....?
My objective is to get CyanogenMod ROM on this thing!

I just got a TF201. It's my first Android device, so please bear with me for this newbie issue. I wanted to root it so I tried PrimeTime without considering that I was already running version .21. Obviously it screwed up... The worst that happened is seeing a caput droid while trying to load CWM. Don't know what's the deal with that, I guess it just didn't install properly.
The device otherwise still boots fine so I'm left wondering what to do with it. Can someone explain what PrimeTime does exactly, I'd like to know in what state is my TP now...
Is there a risk that an OTA could brick it?
Can I fix CWM and flash a rooted firmware (i.e. Virtuous)?
Can I factory reset everything and lock the bootloader?
Thanks
install touch cwm or twrp and it should be fine, obiesly ota will brick it. Dunno about reseting data.

Another example of what may happen when people don't have patience, not reading everything.
Q: Is there a risk that an OTA could brick it?
Q: Can I fix CWM and flash a rooted firmware (i.e. Virtuous)?
A: Have you used ASUS Unlocker Tool to unlock your bootloader (thus voiding your warranty)? If you did, the awnser is yes for the first 2 questions.
Q: Can I factory reset everything and lock the bootloader?
A: Relocking bootloader isn't possible; You can factory reset everything through Android UI/stock rom only if you didn't install CWM as of yet.

Can you elaborate, I don't know how far PrimeTime went trying to install CWM. What happens if I reset with CWM present? Can it be cleaned?

I think that if you try to factory reset with CWM installed it will bootloop/brick, I've read it somewhere here on xda.
Again, CWM can only be installed if bootloader has been unlocked. If you didn't and PrimeTime doesn't as well, you cannot have cwm installed.
I believe there was some information laying around about returning to stock, not sure if it's possible to return to stock recovery after flashing cwm.

My bootloader is unlocked but I'm not rooted, apparently I cannot install CWM from ROM Manager. Is it possible through fastboot? When I try to go into recovery mode I get the laid down dead droid... Is that caused by a faulty CWM or just that I don't have a recovery image anymore?
I modified ViperMODS tool to add Xda user wolf849's method of downgrading a transformer without root, so you can use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25508554&postcount=52 to downgrade to .15 then root, then install OTA rootkeeper then update via ota to .21 again. Or you can just unlock and install cwm if you want to void warranty.
Okay this is just getting more and more confusing. Everywhere I read about CWM and custom ROMs it says you have to be rooted. If that is true then I'm in a dead end because I cannot downgrade to .15 without bricking and I can't properly install CWM either.
I finally found some official doc on fastboot source.android.com/source/building-devices.html , if its accurate you don't even need CWM to flash a custom rom. That seems to be much more reliable. Isn't CWM just a wrapper for what can all be done manually through adb??
Finally found some precise instructions... androidroot.mobi/2012/02/22/introducing-cwm-for-asus-transformer-prime/
Instructions for non-rooted Primes (or those who’d rather use fastboot):
Get fastboot from here, and extract it.
Download the blob file (tfp_CWM5_androidroot.blob), and put it in the same folder as where you extracted fastboot.
Power off your prime.
Boot with Volume-down pressed. Wait when you see text appearing. The prime will then allow you to start “fastboot”.
Open up a command-line prompt, and navigate to where you extracted fastboot with “cd”.
Enter the following commandline to flash recovery: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery tfp_CWM5_androidroot.blob
Profit!

don't look on source.android.com, aosp doesn't support transformer prime directly, and as you might have noticed, fastboot commands are a bit different for the prime that of galaxy nexus, for example.
why some say you need to be rooted to flash cwm? because they use ROM Manager nice UI to do it, instead of teaching people how to do it without an UI. Rom Manager needs root, as you know.

exactly, use these steps from androidroot.mobi to flash cwm with fastboot. these are correct, and the only way to flash cwm, if you're unlocked but not rooted.
food for thought: i believe linux+fastboot is way safer than windows+fastboot.
Great! Thanks for the confirmation, quite reassuring, now I know where I'm headed... I'll at least fix my recovery with CWM. From there I don't know, I feel I have to do some more reading before I go ahead and flash any custom rom...
I may not know much on android yet, but I have 10 years experience in linux software dev, with a few pointers like this to get me started I should be able to do anything with this toy soon enough ;-)
Done, just flashed CWM as per the instructions and it works flawlessly. Backing up right now... I'm tempted to go ahead and flash Virtuous.
Done, totally virtuous now ... That was easy Thanks again for the help! Now I only hope I won't regret voiding the warranty
Hi everyone¡ I have a important problem trying to root my prime, i did it moths ago, but i didn't used it, and yesterday i decided to unlock the bootloader of the device, to put a diferent room, and i used the official way from asus.
The problem is that when i tryied to enter in any root-required aplication the authorization is denied by the superuser, and i've tried all the methos to root and unroot the device, but it's imposible, i've also installed the drivers given in the foro, and i think that that's okay, but at the times i try to start the adb it closes.
I hope someone can help me with this, i have experience in this kind of things but this time everything was wrong.
I let some information if it can helps:
Rom version: 4.0.3
Build number: 9.4.2.28
Thank you very much¡

Here it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492887
But do this only if you are LOCKED (not unlocked)! If you are unlocked you can flash any firmware from development forums via CWM or TWRP.
RETRY
Try to do it again or google another ways to root your phone. I've also experience same problem before but I have repeated the steps again then after many trials it was rooted. Just have faith.
Look, the problem is that when i try to root the device with viper mod (i'ts the only one which allows me to start) alway says "only read system" or something like that, here it is. Please, put http//: if you wanna see the picture because i have less than 10 messages and i cant upload photos¡

Hi all,
I am using AiO 5.2 and I have the following configuration:
SGPT111CH/S
Android version 4.0.3 (release1a)
Kernel 2.6.39.4 [email protected] #1
Build number TISU0R0150110
Recovery .30<3e>
When trying to root using AiO I get both permissions check and the VpnFaker injection successful but the script fails 3 times at the terminal phase.
I've tried wiping, factory reset but nothing works.
I also have a problem with the update decryption. When I launch it I get a build error and a Status 7 and it doesn't go any further. If at the recovery menu I try to launch the install.zip file it fails too.
At this point I am completely lost, I must say that I'm also a little confused. Is my hardware/software combination a problem ? Is the script not working for this device ? I'm more than willing to try any manipulations you want
Cheers,
Serge

Hi condi,
Thanks for your reply. Despite many attemps I didn't manage to use version 5.2 to root the tablet, but then I tried this method :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
And use the script there and despite a few errors this worked. I then used your script to "root" again since I noticed that the script I used didn't seem to install busybox and I was concerned it wouldn't be compatible with the environment you setup.
For the update decryption, I had previously rooted the tablet with the manual root procedure and despite that it didn't work. I'll try again now that I have root on the tablet after a full wipe.
Best regards,
Serge Huber

Ok after looking at the script I noticed you were waiting for the recovery device. That's when I noticed that my recovery driver was not properly installed. Installing it solve the problem and I got shell access to the recovery !
Maybe this was also causing the issue with the rooting ? Is that possible ?
Best regards,
Serge Huber
Ok I managed to create a custom update but when I try to flash it with AiO everything seems to work fine until the reboot where it just gets stuck on the Sony logo. If I stop the tablet by pressing over 10 seconds on the power button and start it again I get back into my normal system. I also tried your custom prerooted ROM but the same thing happened. Any clues as to what is wrong ?
Cheers and again thanks for all the help,

Hello! I've upgraded to 5.1 and have lost my root. I have tried using kingo and towelroot but neither have worked. I have tried downgrading to 4.3 re-rooting and then upgrading to 5.1 only to lose root again. Any help as to fix this would be awesome and highly appreciated!

You can flash twrp to root, then install superusersu. There's a zip file that's been posted in the forums recently by ArkAngel 06 that has everything you should need and a step by step guide to do it. Hope this helps
This question has been asked and answered. Do you guys read the other threads at all?
To get root and TWRP.
Credit to Foltz61.
1. Boot to bootloader.
2. Fastboot boot TWRP-L.img
3. Install supersu-2.49.zip (even though I didn't lose root)
4. Reboot back to system.
5. Reboot back to bootloader.
6. fastboot flash recovery TWRP-L.img.
7. fastboot reboot.
8. Boot to recovery and had TWRP
Thanks
Thank you both for your help! I saw this posted in the other threads but there's been a lot of activity since the release of 5.1 and it was all getting confusing
to get su 2.49 .zip do a Google search u will find it after twrp just flash su 2.49.zip and ur all set .
I tried n its working fine
Would be best at this time to not flash twrp. Instead fastboot boot twrp.img then install the beta.SuperSU v2.49.

If your Bootloader is still unlocked, skip to step 5
UNLOCKING YOUR BOOTLOADER
1) Request your 16 digit Bootloader Unlock Code from [email protected] (you'll need to give them your phone's IMEI and SERIAL numbers)
2) Download the HW-QmOneKeyTool to your PC from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/um5sqbwp094r2x4/HW-QmOneKeyTool.rar
3) Connect your phone to your PC, open the HW-QmOneKeyTool and enter your 16 digit unlock code into the text box in the first tab of that tool, then click 'ROOT' {This button should actually read 'UNLOCK'}
4) Now that your phone's Bootloader is unlocked, flash TWRP as follows:
INSTALLING TWRP
4a) Download TWRP Recovery from the following site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/asc.../2014-09-22-teamwin-recovery-project-t2885144
4b) Rename TWRP_MT2-L03_RECOVERY.img to TWRP.img
4c) Move TWRP.img to hard drive C, folder: adb
4d) Connect you phone to your PC, open Command Prompt and type: cd C:\adb
4e) After the adb prompt, type: adb devices
4f) With your device serial showing in the Command Prompt, type: fastboot flash recovery c:\adb\TWRP.img
4g) The Command Prompt should now say "waiting for device"
4h) Unplug your phone and reboot into bootloader (power + volume down)
4i) Once in the bootloader make sure it says unlocked then plug your phone in.
4j) The command prompt should say done after 2 seconds and your phone will stay the same.
4k) Unplug your phone and reboot.
INSTALLING SUPERUSER
5) Download BETA-SuperSU-v2.49 to your root: http://download.chainfire.eu/740/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip
6) Boot into TWRP and Flash BETA-SuperSU-v2.49
7) download the TWRP App from Google Play, and let it install BusyBox, then run the SD fix if needed
7) Now you can grant Superuser status to Apps that need root
Is there a backup of the mt02 emui 3.1 boot loader before I go to the twrp?

Step 7 is required if you don't have an SD card issue?
For anyone that knows, if you root your device, will this cause issues getting OTA updates from Huawei? I registered my IMEI after converting to OEM and loading Lollipop so I would like to ensure I get these updates and can install without issue.
No one?

Trying to figure out if root causes an issue with OTA updates I believe is a valid question. Thanks for nothing though Moody. You're awesome. :good:
What phone because only a few phones are rooted on lollipop and they have to have unlocked bootloaders.

Well, your simple one worded response was misinterpreted. How about that...
And yes, it does effect OTA. I just received B20 and it clearly said to make sure your phone was NOT rooted before upgrading, so obviously it causes an issue with the OTA updates.
Root does not affect OTA. Only if you change system files. Stock recovery and stock system files will not. At worst you will loose root and have to reroot.

does root affect OTA....type that into Google. Thousands of posts will tell you the same thing.
Was simply reporting what the update to B20 said. It stated ensure your device is NOT rooted before updating. Perhaps it is just them being careful and ensuring that bugs that may appear on a rooted device would be tougher to diagnose.
Personally I don't see a big need for root with no ROM's available for the HAM.
Because you can't make some changes without root. LCD etc.

Yeah, that's true, but to date, I have been pretty happy with the HAM stock. The LP update made this phone a whole new phone. The UI is very nice for an older phone with older specs. Coming from and LG G3 (yes, some would think the HAM is a downgrade), I love the HAM over the G3. The colors are amazing, the screen size is awesome and the new UI for LP is way better than stock LG.
Have a look at a G4. Shame they are expensive
Worth it. But expensive.
Hello, i am willing to donate if someone can figure out a way to Root the new Acer Predator 8 GT-810 Tablet. Been looking everywhere and tried many common root apps with no luck. Thanks in advance.
Mee Too! I will also donate when someone helps me to root the Acer predator 8.
Amazing tablet, but what's the point when you can't root and hook up your Ps3 controller to play some emulators?
First i need root for the device to get it Ad-free and to install appOops, to delete tons of bloatware, a working recovery would be great and some custom Roms also.
I would love to have root for this tablet too
Anybody knows, how to root Acer Predator 8 GT-810 ?
I can unlock the bootloader, unfortunately I need to compile TWRP to install the SU binaries. If anyone can point me in the right direction on how to compile TWRP for a device that no devs are working on, I would love to try to do this myself. Thanks!

Hi man,
You can visit the "Taiwan101 ROM Factory" of Facebook to ask he how to compile TWRP to install the SU binaries.
URL as below : .facebook.com/tw101.rom.factory/?fref=ts
Please add www at the .facebook.com/
so I cannot use "post outside links".
(To prevent spam on the XDA forums, ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages. After approximately 10 posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thank you for understanding!)
And if you success root Acer GT-810, please help provide the Root Tool to me, thank you very much.:fingers-crossed:
I might have a way of easily flash TWRP, and install SuperSU, use the Temporary recovery project to boot temporarily into twrp and flashing supersu, theres an easy way of getting twrp permanently but ill try it when i get the tablet 31th of this month.
Also this temporary recovery does not require an unlocked bootloader since it uses a flaw in bootloader to load twrp, but it might be patched, just try it.
Perhaps this new found exploit can be used in rooting this tablet. http://arstechnica.com/security/201...tflips-to-root-android-phones-is-now-a-thing/
Hi, i am thinking of getting one for my son to replace his aging xoom. I want a tablet that can be rooted so I can get rid of bloat wire, not overly fussed about a rom.
I have googled rooting and came across a page How to root Acer Predator 8 GT-810 on androidrootmania.net
Has anyone tried any of these methods of root. Thankyou in advance for replies

androidrootmania.net is a clickbait fake website. None of the posted method works.

it's okay, if you root Acer GT-810 successfully, please help me how to root it with root tool, Thank you very much.
I want use xposed on Acer GT-810.
I think its time to share at least some results, i was able to port TWRP 3.0.2 to this device AND ROOTING this device. ill leave twrp 3.0.2 here for who wants it. Please read all of the post.
=============================================================================================
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ROOTING:
After flashing TWRP 3.0.2, use the SuperSU 2.46 flashable zip, do NOT use latest version or will result in a bootloop. Good Luck and have fun with rooting. Links on bottom of the post.
=============================================================================================
REQUIREMENTS
1- Unlocked Bootloader (search on google if you dont know how to unlock)
2- Drivers and Adb/Fastboot commands knowledge
=============================================================================================
New TWRP bugfix update! Now you can flash stock rom on TWRP without bricking! Download Page updated!
=============================================================================================
Bugs:
1- adb shell command needs to be sent before system partition is mounted or it will give an error, after doing adb shell you can mount system and do all the modifications you need.
2- You cant flash any img on twrp it gives an error, im trying to fix.
3- Backups do work, but everytime twrp restarts, the device name seems to change (which means that on /TWRP/BACKUPS/devicename/backupsinside/ changes every reboot so you have to go get the backup inside the old devicename folder and put on the new devicename folder).
=============================================================================================
Im leaving an unsecured boot image because system seems not want to boot android if anything seems changed. So please if system does not boot after flashing twrp/rooting, flash the unsecured boot img on fastboot.
=============================================================================================
Also im asking just a little bit of your time to request our device to have our own forum threads as it will make it a lot easier to manage the development and make it easier for people with same device to find it, request it here, the more people the better the higher chances we get to see a forum thread for our device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660354
=============================================================================================
Downloads:
Stock boot and Unsecured Boot, Stock Recovery and TWRP 3.0.2-1, SuperSU 2.46:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxzG5iupOOSKNTdlRC1Wd0VmTlk/view?usp=drivesdk
Dont forget to press thanks if i helped you. Im also sorry if its a bit messed up the explanation, its hard when theres no specific threads for the device.

Hi Ruben mind posting a step-by-step guide? How do you flash the TWRP? And which .img file in your shared zip file should we use?

on this thread simply scroll up and you should see it, its saying what bugs and names of the images are pretty straightforward.. flash the unsecured boot (its names osmething like that), and flash the TWRP.img, the root you will have to search on google for version 2.46, if u use the latest you will have bootloop
