Hi,
I am new to the android OS and, after seeing netflix still doesn't work after the 3.2 update, I am ready to root my TF.
I think I had read enough before the 3.2 update to root the 3.1, but now with the 3.2 installed, I have a question.
I have been looking at the thread called
"Batch script Pure Root Method for 8.4.4.11 & 8.6.5.6US - v5 beta update"
and am thinking if this is the one I use to root my stock unrooted 3.2 TF to a rooted TF. Is that correct? Oh and do I have to use the v5 or can I use the v4. I just want to make sure before I do something that's not reversible.
Actually I am quite a bit confused, but I think I am slowly getting there..
thanks for any help,
John
8.5.5.6 is the 3.2 update, so if a method says it will work with 8.5.5.6 (and the comments on that thread concur), then that one should work for you. I don't know if you can use the v4 version of the script, but since v5 is available, I would use that.
If you follow the steps carefully, you can be rooted in under 10 minutes with no skills other than being able to read and operate a mouse required. Then once you are rooted, you can learn as much or as little about the android OS as you want.

Hi,
Thanks, Yes someone answered my question in that thread after I had read through it. I think what was throwing me off was the date the thread was created (which was before the 3.2 update) I guess the thread was updated.
I read through some older threads where commands were entered through the DOS prompt and I took a look at the bat file. I guess I just like to know what is going on incase there is a problem. Still seeing the problems, others have had, which I guess most are from missing drivers, etc...
Thanks for the help, I will let you know what happens when I get the nerve to try this
Oh, I didnt see anything about it in the thread, instructions or FAQ in the batch file. do you know if I need a sd card in it for that method?
thanks again
John
Hi,
I am wanting to root my TF but I am still not exactly sure, I am looking at the thread/method
Batch script Pure Root Method for 8.4.4.11 & 8.6.5.6 US and TW - v5 beta2 update
here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185104
the thing is, the faq (instructions) in the bat file for v5 havent been updated (or I totally do not understand what I am doing) some of the menu options have changed there number, etc...
One question I have is, do I want to back up my current boot and recovery image before I flash root? in the bat, flash root is steps 1 and 2 where back up current boot.img and recovery.img is step 3. then 4 and 5 are to flash the stock images but there are 2 versions in this method (8.4.4.11 & 8.6.5.6) so I am not sure which gets restored (I will leave that part alone.
If anyone knows, or has used this to root a stock unrooted 3.2 tf please help if you can.
thanks,
John
I used this guide to root my stock non-root tf 3.2, it was really very easy:

Hey Guys! I just received my Zoom tablet today and I'm overwhelmed to be part of the Xoom community!
Basically, I'm running Honeycomb 3.2.1 (Build HTK75D) on an MZ604. From here, I want to upgrade to ICS by Team EOS. However, I've got a bit of a problem. According to my research, I cannot install CWM on this version of Android due to some incompatibility issues, which in my perspective is seen as the inability to Root and Flash a custom firmware. Am I wrong here?
From what I understand, I'd have to GED-ify to Honeycomb 3.0, then flash CWM, followed by rooting it and then installing ICS. Am I right here?
I just need some step by step guidance to get from where I am right now (Stock Honeycomb) to where I want to go (ICS).
I have already unlocked my bootloader by the way. I do have some experience in toying around with my previous Motorola Milestone XT720 device, but that was so much easier to manipulate. So my understanding of ADB and FASTBOOT is somewhat reasonably good.
Help would be appreciated!
Hey guys follow the bellow link to flash back to Honeycomb from ICS
http://theunlockr.com/2011/11/28/how-to-unroot-and-remove-cwm-recovery-on-asus-transformer/
Steps from Unlockr will firmly pushes you back onto Honeycomb (v 8.2.3.13)and it will remove root access and you will have a stock honeycomb. One can always get back root access :-D
so
Make sure not to update to ICS if you wana stay on Honeycomb...
Im not responsible if your tablet bricks in the process
What you just posted have been posted already a few times.
Your method work only if the user is already rooted and have CWM recovery.
After an earlier failed attempt I managed with some help from here to get back to a stock rom and then upgrade it through KIES
However don't want to give up here and still want to get the tablet rooted as easily and safely as possible. So have a few questions - not looking for detailed answers but perhaps someone can point me to the right article
I have a Galaxy TAB2 10.1 WiFi only GT-P5100
I am currently running Android 4.1.1
Can someone point me to step by step instructions which will just root my tablet without changing the current version I am on - Ideally I dont want added steps to install an earlier version
No need to reply thanks - I ran CF-Auto root which I had tried before but it failed previously because I had accidently downloaded the 3 g version
this time it ran perfectly exactly as it should and have just verified that my tablet is now ROOTED in the end I followed these instructions as they were easier to follow http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/12/...01-p5110-android-411-404-official-firmware/2/ but I did check first that they seemed to correspond with what I could find on here as well - I felt more confident with this site because it said it would update from 4.1.1
Like many other threads I have browsed through, I too am having issues with King Root rooting and then suddenly rebooting my phone. After a successful reboot in the midst of not even 30% complete of rooting being complete, it still says my phone is rooted until the reboot occurs. After the reboot, it says I am not rooted. So, I still assume that King Root still has no methods to root this model yet. However, I am dealing with two issues I was hoping to get someone with experience, expertise, or just very smart with rooting Android platforms.
1. I was wondering if there is a way to root this model whether it can be done with with or without a computer or laptop. King Root has now become a system application that I can't remove because I don't have root access. I've tried everything to get rid of it. It constantly on a daily basis notifies me that it's trying to or that I need to try to gain root access. I would not have any issue reverting back to original firmware as hard reset has done nothing.
2. Is there a different firmware (I prefer the most recent update) available for this model? I could live with reverting back to the original firmware when I bought the phone in July 2016 from Cricket Wireless. I am not able due to the hardware or software thinking I'm rooted or suspicious of rooting so the update won't process after downloading.
This is my first post. Sorry, if I seem like a newbie here. I just haven't found any relevant answers on Google or searching the forums for similar posts. If there is a way to root successfully, please provide links or some instructions on how to do so. If not, I hope someone can help me revert my firmware to the newest or factory bought. Anything to just get rid of King Root and I know and have already accomplished disabling KR for the time being despite doing hard reset twice already. Is it possible to replace firmware with a new ROM as well?
Thanks for your time and God bless.
