All,
We need a developer that can root the Vizio tablet. We are willing to pitch in a send a new tablet to whomever agrees to root it for us upon recieving it. The only prerequisite is that the developer have a proven track record of rooting phones/tablets.
Agreed. this tab has been rooted in the past, and has an unlocked bootloader. the only reason gingerbreak doesnt work is because of the /mnt/sdcard/external mounting for the actual external sd. need to change gingerbreak to compensate for this
I am going crazy over the fact that this tablet gets no attention from the dev's and no forum. There are less qualified tablets getting support on here. I absolutely love this tablet. It is a great device for only $200. Just wish it would get some attention.
so if i root it i keep it? yes give it to me i can !

this is how you root the vizio. download superoneclick v2.2
and download dormlords v2 root. in both downloads open the exploits file in exploits take out superoneclicks zerge bush file its v2 wont work swap with the zergebush file from dormlords its v3 hit root bam your rooted .just swap the zergbush files. then hit root thats it
we need root for .57 update now. im willing to throw 20 towards the purchase of a tablet for a dev thats willing to step up.
So, I finally got my Transformer Prime TF201 after long waiting.
Sadly I am not able to root it due the latest update from Asus (.21).
Since my tablet is unlocked/virgin, I would like to offer my help finding a new way to gain root.
Since I am new, I am not allowed to post on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526487, so if somebody could let them know, that would be great.
I have quite a lot of experience with Linux administration/configuration and software development.
So do you have a new exploit?
Do you have a working proof of concept?
If any of the answers are No to above, dont bother, everyone else is in the same boat.
Still waiting for the exploit. If you have found it, I think you can discuss or PM to Mod to post into the DEV forum.

I have a virgin Transformer Prime and wanted to offer my help in the hope it might be helpful. Reading many threads here about it I got the impression that most of the devs do not have anymore an unlocked device.
Clearly I do not want to unlock it right now. But am willing to test/try out experimental stuff.
I read here very recently, by a dev I recall, that since the unlocking tool is available and once unlocked you can get root, you have that option. They continued saying no dev wants to burn an exploit just to have it shut next update. You have to pay to play, meaning sacrifice support from Asus by unlocking.
I tried to find the post and supply a link to reference but failed on my mobile to find it.

This tool was only made to make it easier for everyone to root. I did not come up with the root methods, I just made the tool based on an existing root method. What people need to understand is that, from a dev perspective, with an unlock available it really doesn't make sense for a dev to work on root for this tablet for a few reasons...
1 reason is that Asus seems to be the most frequent updater of any OEM I've ever seen. There is no doubt that they read how we got root and intentionally fix it in the next update or two. This leads to problem number 2... using a root exploit that gets fixed and then becomes known and leads to other OEMs patching and making future devices harder to root.
I understand that people may think "oh well, burn a root exploit, we just want root!" Sorry, devs aren't going to think of it that way when you have an unlocking method. That's just that way it is. Honestly, don't ever expect root on .21 because it may never happen.

And a similar statement prior to that one.
-viperboy- said:
I've said this before but I'm not sure if you'll ever see a root for it because you can unlock. No one wants to work on a solution that is going to get blocked in the next update and burn through an exploit. Unfortunately, you have to pay to play. If you want root right now, you need to unlock the bootloader.

But aren't they android exploits, not Asus? Your comment doesn't make any sense to me. If an exploit is released, it will be for specific version(s) of android. Even if ASUS patches it, the exploit is still IN android. Nothing is 'burned' until Google patches it.
My comment is only based on the quotes provided by someone who I assume knows volumes more than I. That means I know little but try to help, by posting, when I feel I can help.

I suggest we set up a bounty for root. I would donate a bit to the one successful in rooting the latest update. Anybody else in???
Well, I can explain you why I think I NEED root access:
I have a Nokia N9 as mobile phone. It seems only to be able to provide Ad-hoc wifi tethering. Now, as I understand, Ad-hoc tethering got removed from Android 4, and the only way to get is back is by tools which use root access.
Without internet connectivity my Prime is worth only half
But since I only have it a few days, I do not want to void 24 months of warranty just because Google dectates it.
Please proof me wrong if there is another solution. I also tried Bluetooth DUN, but the phone seems only to provide OPP . Also USB networking seems not to be supported by the Prime.
Secondly, I WOULD LIKE to have root because there are many cool and useful tools which need root.
I am a Linux user for many years and feel very confotable in the command line.
Having a Linux device but not having the root privileges over it is just a shame.
I am not demanding for a rooting tool. I am at home in the Linux system, so any cryptic instuctions would be enough for me.
I also would pay for a working tool/instructions!

What?
Update to .21 and try again with that tether... Don't forget to backup su.
I have already the .21 build, else I would have root by now
But I now seem to have successed!
When I use the JoikiSpot on my N9 with no encryption, it seems not to work. The Prime always onlay sais "saved". Now I tried it with WEP128. This is almost a useless encryption, but now the Prime is able to connect to the internet.
So I am very happy right now
As a site note: with an iPhone 4 as tethering device, it works also fine without any encryption.
Not sure if this option can work for you like it does on my LG Revolution, but get WiFi Tether and set the profile to LG Optimus and SoftAP. My (rooted) Revo then acts as an AP, not AdHoc.

The N9 and N950 (which I use) are not Android based, but Maemo/MeeGo. Thats a great Linux based Operating system for tablets/phones. Sadly Nokia and Intel droped it, so it has no future. How ever for me its the right thing, because I now have a Linux based mobile phone with root rights with which I can do almost what ever I want.
Sadly JoikuSpot does not provide many options for tethering settings.
i dont know if the guys over at androidforums can help since they dont have a prime. they rooed our samsung prevails tho and one of them ported cm7 and cm9. im not sure if they are willing to help tho.
I don't know if it would work, but OTA rootkeeper is able to keep root and bring it back after updates : I have a prime rooted after update with it while still locked - for now. Anyway, my point is rootkeeper seems to backup some files and then restore them after the ota update. Would it not be possible to find what these files are and mount a script or instructions for anyone having .21 unrooted prime ? People could simply download OTA Rootkeeper, get those files, put them back in their proper place in the prime's folders and then restore and be done with it.

Hate to bump an old topic, but I have found a way to root the Rush, Phandroid has a guide up for rooting here.
I need help rooting this tablet. The Proscan plt4311-pl is a small tablet running Android 4.0. I have tried OneClickRoot and SuperOneClick, neither worked. I am new to this but I would love to have full control over my tablet and install a custom ROM. Can someone please help me and put it in terms that a newbie can understand!
root proscan plt4311
This is a MIPS based tablet. (Actions 7013 based). Most apps and binaries are made for ARM. That is why the tools you mentioned didn't work. I think there is a list keeping track of what apps work and/or have been ported over at the Ainol Novo 7 basic threads.
I managed to get root access, but there's many steps involved, and honestly I'm gonna have to go back and figure exactly what I did after I get some rest but below are the tools&links and some basic instructions.
******OOps, guess I can't post links as a new user. type freetexthost.com/xvfjzr1ltq into your browser for my notes on rooting the Proscan Plt4311*********
******Edit #2: I soft bricked it trying to install ICS gapps. I re-flashed the firmware and rooted the tablet again, much quicker this time. And I managed to get play store and some other apps going. I should have a ready made script after work tommorow for you and all the other Big Lots bargain shoppers who bought this tablet (I got mine for $40!)

Just got mine on sale for $17.99 on Newegg Flash, came in the mail today. It's still doing the first charge on my 3A, shouldn't take long (no devil emote?) Can't wait to see what you devs can do for this thing! Although it is MIPS I'm sure simple apps and roms will run fine, but ARM is still preferable. But hey, it was $18. What do you expect?

Still no luck here with rooting, all I got so far was the Google Apps package in.
You can root with:
POOT: This app is a one click root app. No computer needed
Framaroot: Framaroot is a oneclick root app . No computer needed
This is the most popular one!
Z4Root: Z4Root is an oneclick root app . No computer needed
Towelroot: Towelroot is an oneclick root app. No computer needed
Baidu: No information
Vroot: No information
Gingerbreak: This app can root almost all gingerbread devices

So now that we have the 4.3 update on Verizon (The first to get it before any Carrier) Now what are the next steps here. Would there be a root available for this.
I like the new features, that the 4.3 gave, esp the KNOX, but would really like to get the phone rooted once more.
Keep up the amazing work guys.

Was just asking, i know its been out for just 12 hours, amazingly for the first time verizon did it first, so i guess no one really was expecting that bomb shell.
And I again say this for all the guys who find a way to root it.. amazing work guys.. keep it up
Root was available 10 minutes ago but VZW and Samsung patched it while you were making tea. Sorry bud, you missed it.

If root was a priority then upgrading was not the best Choice. The note 3 has 4.3 and also has root. I'm sure a similar method may be found but it may be not be the same sort of free permissions that root users are a custom to. Locked and stocked is the future.

This probably should have been posted in the Q & A section then but nevertheless, if you follow the Dev forums, you will find out when/if root is achieved for 4.3

I do believe this is the most classic post I've ever read. A noob ask for a root method 12 hours after release, then tells someone else on a message board to chill. Bwahahahahaha.
Don't look for a root method after a fresh release for about a month. If it comes sooner, then jump for joy. It very well could be later....or never at all.
For me, the Radio is the first thing I look for. Root I have. The new radio I don't. Thankfully it was posted early this morning.
If you'd like to help us out in getting this update rootable please post in thread below. We need someone to pull the TAR file from either Samsung Kies or the Verizon Installer once it is available.
