Rooting questions!

[eclass82]

Hello XDA,

I've been searching here/google/youtube but no luck!, I have an Asus Prime that I would like to root and install a custom rom however, my tablet is currently stock running build number 9.4.2.28 update and all the root tools/ guides that I've tryed are not working!

someone please point me in the right direction!


Thanks

anwya...since you want to run custom ROMs, you need to unlock the bootloader using ASUS's app from thier site.

unlock the bootloader
Flash a custom Recovery
flash the ROm of your choice.

if the unlocker app from ASUS doesn't work, then you may have some more work ahead of you.
run the unlocker app and report back here with the results.

ok so i downloaded and installed the unlocker tool here:
http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=Eee+Pad+Transformer+Prime+TF201&p=20&s=16

but when I run the unlock tool it just sits spinning on it self with the "please wait" message..

Nevermind it looks like it required internet access to unlock bootloader...

You should head to the prime forums this is for the tf300t, don'ttry to flash roms here you will probably brick your tab
