Does anyone know how to get around this? I need to change the Location to Read-Write.. no clue how to though.
I joined these forums to learn how to root my admire, and so it seems its not possible yet?
Samsung admire root?
Does anyone have any idea how to root this or when a root will be made for this I can see it becoming a popular phone for the price and features. I can't wait for a root for this anyone have any idea how long it will take before one is released? For the price of the phone it is incredibly nice much nicer and faster than the optimus or huawei M835
Samsung Admire ROOT
Ugh been looking everywhere 2... I guess its just to soon
I am also in search of Root for the Admire.
There might be one way but I don't know how to boot into our recovery menu.

To get into Recovery Mode:
1) Turn phone off.
2) Press and hold Back, Volume Down, and Power keys.
3) Continue holding all three keys until device powers on and recovery menu appears.
Navigate using volume up/down keys, and Home key for enter.
Took me a few minutes to figure out how to do it myself last night.
UPDATE: Tested the method you linked to, does NOT work.

Samsung Admire
First off the noob video was/is funny as H+!*. I'm stuck in the same boat with rooting my Samsung Admire. Metro PCS is my carrier. I'd like any updates on rooting ASAP, thanks.
Something caught my eye but I don't understand. Can someone help.

I don't think there are kernals compatible with the samsung admire's kernal. There might be, but I'd rather not risk bricking my phone.
I have a feeling that we won't get root for a while, unless someone can find a developer somehow, seeing that all of these new 2.3.4 devices just getting root access.
Ok,
Before people start complaining I should not post this: I have searched the forum and have not found a solution. Therefore please let me specifically describe my situation and please when responding, be accurate, exact, non-ambiguous, complete, and correct.
I have a Chinese TF101 with build HRI66.CN_epad-8.2.3.13-20110511 (I assume that translates to build 8.2.3.13)
I tried running the ROOT guide located in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17285912#post17285912
Unfortunately that does not work on my TF101. I get:

Followed by never ending silence and no Root.
Someone told me that this guide does not work on my build standard, and gave me links to windows/linux root guides.
These don't work because I have a Mac. I do not have windows and I do not have linux, I only have Mac, and I know no one with a PC that I can borrow for this exercise, so it has to be done from my Mac and not any other platform.
What I want is:
1) Root my TF101
2) get CWM on there
3) get the latest Prime ROM on there.
Can someone please explain to me what I need to do to get prime 1.8 installed on build 8.2.3.13 of a chinese TF101?
Sorry if I sound direct, but I know very little about this stuff and so far I have found nothing that works. Since I know nearly nothing other than how to follow accurate complete correct unambiguous instructions, I would love it if someone can actually provide me with those.
That method only work for 8.2.3.9 or lower.
8.2.3.13 and up use NVFlash method.
Also since you're on 8.2.3.13 you have the option to downgrade to 8.2.3.9.
After which you can root and install an updated root rom
Ok, so can you please explain to me how to use NVFLASH on a Mac? If it is not posisble, can you explain to me how to downgrade to 8.2.3.9?
I'd be very gratefull!
UPDATE: Just saw your response on the other post. I think this will help me a lot! Thanks!
I also had cn firmware, using nvflash is very easy, I use windows and follow the tutorial from YouTube ..

Im assuming your using the one click method if so you can't use the one click method on 2.3.6 its only for 2.3.5. The beginners thread has been updated today with newer instructions that will help you out.
There is a new root method for 2.3.6. Posted in the How to Root thread.
It was added to the noob thread.
Hi, I have got the same problem with rooting on android 2.3.6, can you give me a hand? Thanks in advanced.

hello wizards,
I know this is the only place where I can get a real help.
My problem is that I some how got usb brick on HTC Desire, no sdcard support, no pc connection via data cable, no fm radio.
I came across this thread
WW.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-fix-unrooted-htc-desire-usb-brick/
I followed it step by step. i did step 9 and step 10. At step 10 after force stop terminal emulator, it cannot be reopened. Therefore, it didn't fix my phone. Then I tried zergrush instead of rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin but got error this error:
