I tried a reboot and a factory reset.... .33 is correct.
My camera update also fails every time.
Would flashing a new ROM fix all of this?
Everything worked before the update.
Just want some input before I take it back, I know if I take it back I won't have a Prime for another week or two.
Thanks Viper. Nice to see you here.
How is the Epic Car mount working for you?
Have a look at restoring firmware from Asus website, instructions should be on the product download page, it may help.

Car mount is great, thanks! Unroot and try a master reset and try again.
Opens the door for root apps, restoring apps from Titanium Backups, custom ROMs (not the normal way, but it can still be dons!), etc...
it includes adb and will do everything for you like the OP says

I get step 1 pushing file (which it succeeds)
it then reboots
then while its rebooting it says error: protocol fault (no status)
then it says deamon not running, it starts deamon succesffully
then says error: device not found
and then asks if uid and gid should both be 0. at this point the tablet is back into the normal os.
I tried it the original way too without this tool and still didn't work. Not sure what is going on with my tablet.

Ok, just in case this should happen to anyone else;
I used your awesome path to achieve root, but after everything ran through fine, Superuser kept threw me Force Close anytime an app wanted priviledges and force stopping/cache clearing didnt resolve it.
I just ran the rooting process all over once more and now all's well. Donated! NO more Ads, finally!

Thank you a million times over. It worked like a charm.

If anyone runs into this problem, go into your task manager and end the adb process.

But now, it's already interesting to root his Prime, pending the unlock tool by Asus...isnt'it ?

Thanks Viper!

I downloaded pc suite from asus and installed, tried Primer, daemon screens, then noticed my device when plugged into usb was not recognized in device manager. It pops up and then disappears with no reason. Finally able to click on it and choose update driver, navigated to drivers in vipermod folder but it would not install:
A service installation section in this INF is invalid
Nevermind, my stupid a$$ didn't have usb debugging on, worked like a charm.

I do not have a TF101 anymore, but it has been reported that you can root the latest ICS update via option 1. Do so at your own risk! And PLEASE don't flash recovery if you're not on a Prime. That option is ONLY for TF201's!!
THIS WILL NOT ROOT .21 AT THIS TIME!!
Introducing viperMOD PrimeTime! An automated rooting program for your Asus Transformer Prime TF201 (ICS or HC supported) and the Asus Transformer TF101. It is very simple and easy to use with extra features that other root methods don't have. Works on Prime's that lost root with the ICS OTA! Now, here is how it works...
- Download the .zip
- Plug in your Transformer and make sure to install the drivers located in the included .zip (unless you can already adb into your device, then no need for drivers)
- Kill Asus Sync and Splashtop! - very important!!
- Make sure you have NO OTHER ANDROID DEVICES connected via USB!
- If on Linux, you may need to do "chmod a+x /path/to/primetime/primetime.sh" (no quotes)
- Run the viperMOD PrimeTime.exe and choose an option.
- After rooting, download OTA Root Keeper from the Market!
- ???
- Profit?
It's as simple as that! I have tested this about 30 times (both rooting and unrooting) and it works just fine! I would HIGHLY recommend downloading Voodoo Root Keeper!! Any issues or questions, please feel free to post here! Enjoy your rooted Prime
Things you should NOT do!
- Try to root with the Transformer in the dock
- Use a USB extension cable
- Not download OTA Root Keeper
- Not follow directions
Updated 5.9.12 - v4.6
- Replaced OLD CWM recovery with latest TWRP 2.1
- Fixed sparkym3's donate link
HC root based on NachoRoot by jcase and TeamAndIRC.
ICS root based on TPSparkyRoot by sparkym3.
Latest ICS root based on https://github.com/saurik/mempodroid by Saurik.

FAQ
Q. Do I need ADB?
A. Yes, but you don't need to set it up or anything. I have packaged it as part of the .exe and it should work just fine.
Q. Will I not be able to OTA?
A. No, rooting doesn't affect OTA whatsoever. It's actually reverse - OTA affects root. You will still get update notifications when updates drops, but you WILL loose root if you update. Download Voodoo Root Keeper to keep root if you take the next OTA! The only way rooting would possibly affect an OTA is if, once rooted, you delete the certificates and modify the build.prop (and other things) that don't allow the OTAs to come through.
Q. Will this work on ICS and/or HC?
A. Yes, it now supports both. The ICS root method may work on HC Prime's and TF101's but I haven't gotten reports on that yet.
Q. The program doesn't do anything! WTF?!
A. Did you enable USB Debugging like the program told you too? [Settings > Developer Options] I hope you also installed the drivers, since the program told you to do that too. Once that is all set, the program will continue. If you're still having issues, please try this:
If you still need help with the driver install, this video tutorial might help.
Q. Why add busybox and Superuser.apk to /system? I don't want that ****!
A. Sorry I can't please you. Busybox is important because it adds many commands to the device that it doesn't have (it doesn't have basic commands like 'copy' or 'grep' [a type of find]). When you install ROMs on other devices, you have busybox. It will be necessary to things I have coming down the pipe As far as Superuser getting installed to /system, you'd have to go out of your way to uninstall it. In /data, it's easy to uninstall and if you master reset, root wouldn't work because there is no app, upon reboot, that would manage apps requesting root access.5Updated to v4.5! Installs the Asus Unlock Tool (you will get an error if you already have it installed, ignore it) and automatically flashes CWM! I've had 3 reports of this working, you guys should have no issues!
I do intend to update to v5 and overhaul the entire program. Do things a little bit better and more efficiently. But that won't be for a little bit, as everything is working. I just want to do it since it's a little bit messy as it is right now.
Enjoy5Updated to v3! Get your automated ICS root on!! Please post feedback so that I know how it's working and PLEASE let me know if you're on ICS or HC (build number, please!). If someone has a good write-up or post with driver install info, that would be great. I would like to put it in the 2nd post for users who need help!5
Firts I downloaded the unlock tool here.
