It's old and works only on 9.2.1.17 or .13 as far as I remember so even viperMod is better but worth try.

Default Help rooting. I tried everything...

Hi, i have read lots of threads and forums i have investigated and tested. I tried initially with "tf101 ics root.zip" i did the syncing and running of "run.bat" followed every step, and nothing. Made variations of the same process and nothing.

Then i tried with RazorClaw and a advice with "device lacks need file" appear.

Then i tried SparkyRoot and it read "Exploitable file not found".

I dont now what to do anymore, i just want to "Freeze" all the bloatware and crappy uninstallable apps that auto load on my Transformer.

i Got the Asus Transformer TF-101 with ICS 4.0.3.

I uploaded a screen print with firmware versions installed in bit.ly/MILGVv

Please help!

Thanks in advance

Do you even read through the thread before posting? Some posts above yours someone says it only works on 9.2.1.17 and below.

You didn't read the sticky threads did you?
Shut your flippin mouth, and go read the sticky threads BEFORE you post anything.
A little research goes A LONG way. Dadburned impatient kids these days. Don't got no brains no how.
