I take 0 credit for any of this, Im just adding a quick reference for people who are still asking who what where when.

Just confirming, works like a charm.

Does someone wanna sell there think pad ?

Sent from my PG8630000 using XDA App

Hell no! Its the King of tablets it you actually use it for more then Angrybirds and videos.

Can take a beating = Check
Awesome stylus for notes = Check
Great screen and good performance = Check

Its one of the great mysteries why this tablet isn't the most sold and used tablets on Xda.

and now with root access!: )

I have a Prime and my wife has the ThinkPad. I would say that between the two, the ThinkPad can take the beating for sure and I'm definitely jealous of the stylus, however I would love to keep what I have and just add the stylus ability. Either way, I would definitely agree that the ThinkPad is still a kick-ass tablet.

Congrats on the root all.

That is the same output I had, but it worked.

You are correct it worked on mine. I had to re-install Super User from the Market and re-install the Terminal program.

Finally! no more bloatware!!! runs so much better, I was having a heck of a time getting this to work, I did a factory reset from the stock bootloader and the script ran with no issues. ill be donating to drjbliss when i get paid for sure!!
