Hi all,
I have a Transformer Prime and unfortunately I used the "official" unlock (APK) supplied by ASUS. Now I got the message "The divice is unlocked" when it boots up but I am not able to use TITANIUM BACKUP and other tools anymore because the viperMOD PrimeTime v4.1(program to unroot) also always fails.
So it seems more to be a boot unlocker but the same time it prevents the deivice from beeing rooted! WHAT A MESS!
Is there any possibilty to undo the prodedure to get an unlocked device again an then to use viperMOD PrimeTime v4.1???
Any help would be very very appreciated.
Happy Easter from Germany

PS: another prob is that after unlocking I am not able to perform VIPERMOD to root the device (there are some issues with Su Binary). It would help if somebody could teach me how to get unrooted again because without Titanium Backup and other Apps I feeling lost :=)
Unlock Cannot be undone, viper mod should work either way if that doesnt work search for sparky root apk its an alternative root method you can find in the development section
- Cheers
It doesn't work with me

Sorry to say it doesn't work. On step 2 there is a message:" SU file does not exist or have correct permissions ... click INSTALL again to install anyway"
I clicked INSTALL (#3) ==> MEssage "Successfully installed Superuser app"
Then I clicked CLEANUP(#4)==> "Cleanup success"
EXIT
But Titaium say: NO ROOT PERMISSION
Do you can imagine what went wrong?
All the best and greetings from Germany

PS: I have Build# 2.4.2.21
Maybe this tool doesn't work with that
Just flash custom rom to gain root

AFAIK, there is no root for *.21 yet. As someone else said, now that you have an unlocked bootloader, you can just load a custom ROM to gain root. I think that I saw one here that described itself as a stock stock custom ROM, if you want to stay with a stock ROM for some reason.
Hi all, I'm a noob and I messed up my root access :crying:
What did happen?
I installed Vodoo OTA rootkeeper, made a backup and temporarily unrooted. Now I can't get root back.
What did I try?
OTA lets me click [Restore root] and responds with 'root su restored'. Root is not back though.
Then I tried to restore root manually, following guides like this: [Solved] Problem restoring root via OTA rootkeeper.
I run into the following problems:
There is no /system/bin/su-backup
there is a /system/usr/we-need-root directory but I cannot look into it and I cannot change its permissions, let alone start up a su-backup from it
What can I do?
I managed to solve it! :victory:
This is what I did:
I rebooted the phone into recovery mode and then started adb shell on a USB-connected PC. That way, I gained root access directly. Subsequently, I could follow all steps of the manual I linked before. Phew.
I want to thank some people for a least viewing my post....
I'm trying to get my titanium backup to load but it gives me an error telling I don't have root access.
I loaded up Super user and tried updating the binary but it also says fail when it comes to gaining root access.
I have s-off 1.58 2.89 and have a custom ICS rom on it. Am I missing something?

Some ROM's with the free version of Titanium Backup pre-installed have that problem. Try uninstalling it, then re-install it from the Play Store.
Oh, and you can always use the free version of Root Checker to confirm that you have root.

I have titanium backup pro and the rom i'm using didn't come with it installed. I installed both through the play store.
BUT running root checker it says this device does not have proper root access!!
what the heck.... Where to from here?

Did you install busybox? Some apps require busybox as well as superuser.
If that doesn't fix I suggest you go back and re-flash superuser.

Reinstalled superuser3.1.3 still no root access. Any other suggestions.?
Trying to run busy box it says Su binary was not found on phone. If that helps

How did you root your phone? It sounds like you may have missed a step.

I did the wire trick method.

That's for S-OFF. Which guide/procedure did you use to get root before you did the wire trick? Also the wire trick won't work unless you have root so you must have lost it somewhere along the way.
If you just want a stock rooted ROM I suggest flashing the one from this post. If your goal is to get to a custom ROM you should just flash it since you have S-OFF and must have a custom recovery installed already.

Well I have the cool ICS rom on. The rom isn't the issue the issue is my root. How do I get it back as I would like to get titanium backup back so I can restore all my apps and settings.

On the contrary, the ROM must be the problem since that is a custom ROM which should have root already setup properly. The term "root" refers to having superuser (and usually busybox) installed and that's the responsibility of the ROM developer unless you are rooting a stock ROM yourself. Search the Cool ICS thread for "root" and I think you may find that other users have had this issue.
In the future please identify what ROM you are using when you ask a question like this. I implied from your OP that you were rooting the ROM yourself, which I shouldn't have done, but describing your configuration more completely will save everyone time and effort.
Edit: I re-read the OP and you did say that you have a "custom ICS ROM", but it would be helpful to identify which one.

I'v ran through all root methods (that i know of) for this phone (4.4.4) and none of them work. at all. Whats the point of a root dir if its impossible to access? Seems to be limited info on a root method for this phone. Is it root proof?

For now because of the locked bootloader
Root Achieved!!
UPDATE
I got Kingroot to root the zte speed!!!
but it doesnt keep root for very long. usually only stays rooted for a matter of minutes, and you have to reroot it everytime you reboot
I had to install "certificate installer" from google play and install a root certificate.
now im just trying to figure out how to keep it rooted
me to i cant get root to stay there maybe the kingroot guys can fix that in a updat.

Wanted to post update on this thread for people who come by via Google wanting to root that zte speed, as I was sick of coming by this thread as seeing no answer from the search results.
I did the following and was able to get permanent root with SuperSU
Source/Inspiration for this guide (thank you hroark13): androidforums / zte-speed-n9130-permanent-root-achieved.1061137
With ADB enabled and hooked up, run " adb shell reboot disemmcwp "from your PC. This helps to unlock some key parts for Kingroot to work much quicker and persist. That was the secret sauce that was not known in 2015 when everyone was trying to root this at first.
I used Kingroot 5.3.8 from APK mirror as that was easiest (no need to install the Kingroot application on PC just downloading the APK is enough to the phone). I was also running AnTuTu Benchmark Stress Test at the same time as running Kingroot, but this might not be necessary.
I installed Busy Box, and got the SuperSU downloaded ahead of time from the play store as well. I had tried to run Super SU but it couldn't replace the binary, so:
Finally, replace Kingroot with SuperSU by using the Super-Sume Pro app, pretty much just follow through the prompts in the app, but before you start be sure to disable Auto Updates in Kingroot first to prevent a possible conflict. The app will prompt you to reboot, which you can do.
Should have permanent root on your ZTE speed now, you can skip the last step if you like the Kingroot manager but generally people like Super SU better so I changed it to that (less janky).
Warning, if you screw any of this up there is no way to recover your ZTE speed so therefore you could end up with $20 brick.
Thank you, hope this helps someone out who has one of these in their junk drawer.
im new to Android stuff, so please dont mind me if i do or say something wrong.
Lets start of with what ive done:
Used kingroot windows software to root my phone, it said everything was fine, root successfull and so on. Lucky patcher asked for root (so i know i do have it now), eveyrthing worked fine. Ive rebooted my phone leaving me with KingUser (as a system app) that can not be uninstalled or deleted from my storage. I tried adb shell to rm it, with no luck. The app also installs itself every time i reboot. Ive tried rooting the phone again with kingroot, with 'success' message BUT! if i run kingroot app again, the app itself searches for scripts to root the phone, like it wouldnt be able to detect the root! Ive done a factory restart with no luck. After some search ive found out that it was only a 'temp root' and my bootloader wont let kingroot to gain root after the reboot.
Can someone at least tell me how to properly step by step root with supersu? or flash the supersu? can i delete it witchout root? any help would be great
The Best method Would be To First Unlock Your Bootloader.

The hard way
I cannot get my device rooted, thats tge sad part. Cant replace kinguser with superSU, cant use twrp (probably wrong name, its that custom flashing soft) and kinguser does not see my device as rooted. Its somewhat tricky to unlock bootloader in my device, mamy users tells that unlocking OEM in dev settings does not unlock it to fully root the device. Can i somewhat force the root of my device by any soft? What im thinking is making my phone system soft somehow replaced by a custom ROM but i dont know how to replace it and with what if i dont have a rooted device. Now when i tried rooting it manually, using adb and making busybox, su and superSU apps set to some privilages the device shows as 'offline' and i cant get to its shell anymore. Im going to search for any roms my device would work with and ill try to install it using some recovery soft.
