---

New possible root method on Thinkpad tablet forums, by OPDECIRKEL. He needs help testing it out.

look here and lets cross our fingers =D

opdecirkel released the exploit -> http://opdecirkel.wordpress.com/2012/03/18/yareftpt/

unfortunately, it doesn't work. =( can't execute "adb remount" when the script calls for it, but hopefully things will get ironed out soon.


***EDIT***

updated script worked!

Not sure if it can help you, but try checking the TPT forum thread again, there has been some advances and troubleshooting going on

Moved To General

As the first post is just a link and contains no development, this has no place in this section

Someone thinkpadtabletforum reported that it worked for him.

updated script worked for me! cwm installed fine as well!

I achieved root with the new method on OTA 2.5. Also installed CWM with no issues. Works great.

I can confirm it worked!

I had to update first because the "Disable Battery Discharge" option was not there. (I guess my Tablet stopped getting OTA updates since I was on ThinkPadTablet_A310_02_0024_0065_US... Also, you have to update one at a time, you can't go from 24_65 straight to 37_75. Also, I stopped at 39_86 since I was impatient.)

I like this once since we can see how it worked rather than blindly running some guys program (I never tried the first root.)

I can also confirm the new method to be working. Just rooted my 0089_WE TPT. Works like a charm
