adb remount will fail without unsecured kernel. It works during the rooting process when the kernel is temporarily unsecured (really a debugging mode).
I don't have my cable with me but if the people that had root from jcase's method
are the only ones that are having trouble which should include myself then we my
have to do a factory reset in the prime first. The main reason I say this is because
I have noticed that all the apps ask for su and are granted because one they are
still in the SuperUser apps db. And two because su is still in the system/xbin
directory. If someone that has their cable and can do a factory reset then try to use
this method it may have a different outcome. I am only guessing as I cannot
test this theory at the moment.
What do you think -viperBOY-
I really want an unlocked bootloader right now. Come on Asus hurry up.

When I rooted my two Android phones i had to install a driver to be able to use adb on Windows. Do we have to do that with the Prime as well or is it plug and play? I have not seen anyone post a link or download to a driver for the Prime.

Followed the instructions precisely as written, and it worked for me using a Windows PC. I was previously on the Nachoroot with Honeycomb and hastily upgraded to ICS and lost root. These commands worked for me, SU and Titantium Backup are working.
I did get the boot loop a couple times while working through all the commands, make sure the screen does not shut off when you fire out a command, there is no indication that the adb command was a success or not.

i hope this doesn't sound to ignorant. im using ubuntu with adb working, shows up fine in device. this method should work just fine in linux right? i guess what im asking is do you think if i tried from windows i would'nt get the permission denied?

Thing is dandmcd, got it work having previously rooted honeycomb. See a couple posts up. There must be a inconsistency some where...

Factory reset won't do anything. Because the stuff in the /system partition stays in tact. For example, I had su in /system/bin (after ICS OTA) but the perms on it were wrong and couldn't be changed, so factory reset won't remove that.
I have updated PrimeTime to root ICS (using this method, with permission from OP) and I'm almost done testing it. Just fixing some backend stuff. One annoying thing is that you can't do "adb remount" because the kernel is "secure" so I'm just making a script so you can do "adb shell sysrw" to make /system r/w (even when not root). Give me an hour or so and keep a look out on my Twitter for those who want to test
I had NachoRoot lost it tried this with no problems at all checked TiBu and it has root access again
Thanks for calling this out, I was going to do this but saw your previous post. Any info I can provide to help track down the inconsistency?

I am happy to test. I will keep an eye on Twitter. Any chance this will fix the problem for those of us who were dumb enough to do the ICS upgrade before unrooting or preserving our root, and for whom the method on this thread appears to be working, but doesn't result in a functional root access?

NO GO, everything went through but didnt get root access...
Tried manually too but NO GO
I get permission denied after issuing this command...
adb shell "echo \"ro.kernel.qemu=1\" > /data/local.prop",
...Sigh!!! in time

Yes, that is where I was. Had root, updated to ICS, lost root. My tool has gotten root back for me, but it's not quite ready for you guys just yet. Busybox isn't installing like it should, I'm about to remove it from the build (it wasn't even working in the last version lol).
Because the syntax isn't 100% correct. Wait for the PrimeTime v3i get permission denied after issuing this command... adb shell "echo \"ro.kernel.qemu=1\" > /data/local.prop", Same here...Sigh!!! in time
You can try using a 3 line process instead of that line
adb shell
echo "ro.kernel.qemu=1" > /data/local.prop
exit
This should put you in the shell to execute the command (in case there is something wonky with adb).
**UPDATE**
You may also try the below line in the shell, notice the ">>". It was not required for me, but it may actually be the more correct syntax
echo "ro.kernel.qemu=1" >> /data/local.prop

I was originally rooted on HC as well, lost root to ICS. The OP's method worked for me. The only thing weird that happened was adb couldn't see my device after the first reboot where it started bootlooping. I powered it off, and powered it back on, adb saw the device again and I was able to continue. Also, I used the same su binary that was already in place. I just had to chmod it, cleaned up and everything has been working great. Hope the rest of you get it figured out.
Do you know what permissions su had once you updated to ICS from a Honeycomb rooted device?
Would somebody send me the info for "ls -l" for the /system/xbin directory from a device that previously had root with Honeycomb and is having issues now (may need to get a root shell for it to run).

So long as adb recognizes the device it should not matter what the OS is.

It was 755, not 06755. I could "run" su, it just wouldn't get the root shell and subsequently all the permission denied issues. This is likely because it's sticky bit didn't get transfered properly.
