Hello!

Will this work with the new 3.2 version of honeycomb? I'd really like to root, but don't wanna mess anything up. Has anyone tried this method starting with 3.2?

Thanks!

Mike

The method is very easy provided you follow directions:

Download
Copy it to the microSD card (Not the internal storage)
Power your Transformer down, and reboot while holding power + Volume Down
Choose to boot into recovery (RCK)
After the update flashes on it's own, the Transformer will reboot and you're rooted
Delete the file from the SDcard

Will this be work on V 3.2

Hi All,

Android is new to me, will the root also works on a Chinese EeePad Transformer?
Just bought that on my vacation in China and they have their own market place

Just got my transformer. Running 3.2 and I would like to root. Will this method work, or is there another method?

Ditto the above. Just got my prize from the contest here and want to get my root on without bricking anything.

Read. Trough the thread and am still unsure if the root method and files are still workable with the latest OTA update (3.2.1), anyone mind helping me out?

I greaty appreciate any help,
David.

Razorclaw is the easiest method of rooting the Transformer. Just download and install the app, click root and you're done! It's that simple. Works on the latest 3.2.1 release of honeycomb.

Link for download and info

What are the advantages to rooting the Transformer?

Having root access.

Put it this way do u want the device to tell u what u can do with it or do u want to tell the device what u will do with it?

New firmware released, version 8.6.5.21.
Kills the root.
Bummer.
Anyone know of a fix?

i have a question. when you mean sd card... do you mean an actual sd card or the system files. and how do you know when it is rooted? do you delete the file from the internal storage? and how do yo make it into recovery mode? i tried doing what you said but it just rebooted like usually

what do i do? and do you think you can post a new post on how to use sparky root? that one seems easy to use but i don't know how to exploit my system. from a new asus transformer user.. NEVER MIND! I THINK I GOT IT....

sry uh is there suppose to be a dead android on my screen... rebooting it now. ACTUALY GUYS I STILL DIDN'T GET IT ROOTED! NEED HELP!!!!!
