Rooting the Asus Eee Pad Slider??

charliefowle · Apr 24, 2012

Hi everyone! First off i want to say im pleased to be a new owner of this machine and im struggling to get some straight forward info on rooting/unlocking the device. i am struggling to get adb commands sent to my device and my windows 7 x86 machine will not pick it up after installing all the drivers and suite from asus site. I understand at this point that eveb the serial number is critical to identifying what device i have to clarify if i can root so with that i will give the basics here
Slider SL101
HTK75.US_epad-8.6.5.21_20111216
Honeycomb 3.2.1
serail starts with B90KA....

thanks everyone!

Sorry to ask this, but did you turn on USB debugging in the settings -> Development menu? If not then it won't be picked up.
If it still doesn't work you can try doing it in a virtualbox running linux or on linux, which is easier driver wise.

yes i did, but thank you for asking. Im now trying to do a root on my linux machine (Ubuntu 11.10) any guidance to this process would be greatly appreciated.

Linux ADB: (Extract the Tar-Gz, contains the adb drivers you need, no need for ASUS Sync) http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (shouldn't need for razorclaw)

Root:
Razorclaw: (All can be done on your TF, gotta downgrade firmware then use this to gain root) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1345049
Vipermod (Use Option-1 I think):

adb push nachoroot.bin /data/local/
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/nachoroot.bin
adb shell /data/local/nachoroot.bin --stage1
adb reboot
<wait for boot>
adb shell /data/local/nachoroot.bin --stage2
adb reboot
<wait for boot>
adb shell id
<if id is 0 / root then continue, else start over>
adb remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell /data/local/nachoroot.bin --undo
adb reboot

can i run these commands on terminal if im on .21? I wont brick right? I know the nacho root doest work for me. and vipermod is just a bunch of scipt to auto root right?

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Udev <-- Did you do this when setting up ADB on your ubuntu? its easy to miss and important.
