I just opened the root.bat from the other method in the 5.0.1 page and pasted the cmds manually in a cmd prompt
seems to have worked as I can use a terminal emulator and enter 'su' and get Superuser prompt
I believe it is/was more or less this
You will need the root_fire.zip from the other thread, and then open a command window in the folder where you extract those files.
