where did you get =/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 from? There is no such partition.
Kernel is at /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

It will definitely work if you do it as superuser (well, maybe unless you're using a rom with SELinux configured to block that...)

Every device is different, so you better look at Xperia P development for how to do things on our device.

** This is completely unsupported!!!!!!! **
ALL credit goes to saurik for the root method, Jason A. Donenfeld (zx2c4) for finding the exploit, alpharevx for finding the offsets and initial confirmation on the Transformer Prime and viperboy for finding it and posting it in his thread. I did not research, find, or develop this root method!
Mods, if I've done anything wrong, please feel free to remove this thread.
You will need to know how to use ADB commands, otherwise, use viperMOD PrimeTime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Downloads:
mempodroid binary
su binary
Root:
adb push mempodroid /data/local
adb push su /data/local
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/mempodroid
/data/local/mempodroid 0xd9ec 0xaf47 sh
** You should now be in a remote shell session with root (indicated by #)
mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system
** IF you have previously rooted your Prime, run the following two commands. They may throw an error that the file a file was not found.
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/xbin/su
cat /data/local/su > /system/xbin/su
chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
rm /data/local/mempodroid
rm /data/local/su
exit
exit
adb reboot
After your Transformer Prime comes up, install Superuser from android market.
HOPEFULLY everyone has learned their lesson and will also install Voodoo Rootkeeper as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! R
Enjoi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
** Feb 21 2012 Edit **
Works on 9.4.2.14
** Feb 09 2012 Edit **
Works on 9.4.2.13
** Jan 25 2012 Edit **
Changed the mount command - thanks viperboy!
Added steps to possibly resolve issues with previously rooted systems
Changed a few steps to be a little bit easier.
**Jan 24 2012 Edit **
Some people are reporting issues with this method. I suspect this is due to previously having root or other altered files. A method that has worked for some is to update to 9.4.2.11.1 and then following the above procedures. Please note, this firmware release is unofficial and at this time THERE IS NO DOWNGRADE PATH.
i keep getting permission denied after
adb shell /data/local/mempodroid 0xd9ec 0xaf47 mount -o remount,rw '' /system
i missed a chmod step, add it just now.
run:
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/mempodroid
and then pick up right where you left off.
as i am not root nor superuser .. i don't even get access
/ $ cd data
~ $ ls
ls: can't open '.': Permission denied
after this command
adb shell /data/local/mempodroid 0xd9ec 0xaf47 sh
i got [email protected]:/ # but i cant type anything else in the dos windows after it.. can you explain further please

Try re-installing superuser? When I was rooted before, sometimes superuser wouldn't prompt me for SU on occasion too.

Looks like something went wrong on the first mempodroid command. Go back and start from the begining just in case. Shouldn't hurt anything.

May have something to do with adb!
what i know so far- in command prompt in pc adb type 'adb shell'
when you see the $ thingy type - 'cat /proc/mtd' Note: Check if your phone is an 'mtd' somehow...
You'll see several line thingys. find the line saying 'recovery' and see the corresponding mtd number. Example: mtd6=recovery for my phone
Now that u know your mtd number 4 recovery type in 'dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd6 of /sdcard/recovery.img'
it should put the image in the root of your sd or so. this didn't work for me because pemission was denied for some reason

Permission is denied because you did not get root access. The commands should be in terminal emulator (if you don't want to use computer)
Code:
su
cat /proc/mtd
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd# of=/sdcard/recovery.img
[Color=red][B][U]Here # is partition number you get from cat command[/U][/B][/Color]
If you are using computer and ADB, then enter following commands
Code:
adb start-server
adb devices
[color=green][I]Here your device should be listed[/I][/color]
adb shell
su
[color=green]Here "$" must change to "#" indicating that root access is granted. Check mobile screen for toast message [/color]
cat /proc/mtd
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd# of=/sdcard/ recovery.img
[Color=red][B][U]Here # is partition number you get from cat command[/U][/B][/Color]

my device no rooted then how to get recovery
Hi all, i added some files into the system directory of my kindle fire hdx 7'.. when i restarted it is stuck in a boot loop on the animated Kindle Fire boot screen, i can ADB onto it, and i attempted to remove the files, but "ADB su" isn't working for me, and I'm unable to access the system directory over ADB... and i don't have custom recovery.
Any ideas on this one? is there a way of restoring the Kindle?
Thanks

after that use
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
if you wil get permission denied you need to do hard reset from recovery and try again
after that you could change files in /system
great, i will try this later.. any guides on doing a hard reset?? keeping in mind that i don't have custom recovery..
thanks again.

you could get into stock recovery by holding power+volume up
all of this suggesting that you are at 4.5.2 and rooted
for 3.2.X hard reset will delete su - file
You're a star. Thanks. I'll get onto this after work.

No luck :/ was unable to mount, and hard reset via recovery still results in boot loop :/ any other ideas?
Could you post output?
and pls what is your firmware and root method?
Seems no way to recover(sorry
How do I provide the output? I was 4.5.2 and rooted with CVE
copy-paste output from cmd
like:
Code:

cd /cache/recovery

exit

adb reboot recovery

Hmm....Strange. Are you see Fire as mtp device on you Pc (for Mac you need https://www.android.com/filetransfer/)?
If "yes" - try to copy update.zip manual into Fire's internal storage.
Hello,
I am trying to root my LG Lucid 4G with a one-click sort of method. However, it doesn't work. I am getting messages such as
Code:
failed to copy 'su' to 'system/bin/su': Read-only file system
I then opened up ADB, and tried to use the command
Code:
adb remount
, but that just responded with the message
Code:
remount failed: Operation not permitted
Does anyone know how to fix this, so I can root my phone?
Thanks in advance!

Did you execute this command as root ? If not enter "su" then enter your command. (Make sure you hit "Allow" when the prompt for you to allow root accès to the shell appears)
And maybe it sounds stupid but try chmod commands if your command doesn't work.
I'm not an expert with android terminal so if the problem is persistent you can try this with a root explorer.
Hope all of this helped

The partitition you want to deal with must be mounted as READ-WRITE before.
