All credit goes to Paul O'Brien. Thanks Paul!

[warn]This roots your Transformer and adds the Superuser app. It doesn't do anything else. In theory it should be easy to create a flashable file that reverses this, but for now assume this is permanent. We're not responsible if you screw anything up.[/warn]

The method is very easy provided you follow directions:

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