New root methods are always good. Often when such a method is released, it offers some basic functionality increase over prior methods. Perhaps it simply streamlines the process so that less tech savvy users can get a piece of root action. Other times, however, it’s just to root an OTA that wasn’t rooted prior to release.
XDA Senior Member rhcp0112345 has posted a root method for the Android Ice Cream Sandwich update on the Asus Eee Pad Transformer so that those rocking the 4.0 can still get their Superuser permissions.
The new method is in the form of a tar file that is compatible with Mac and Linux versions only, but was adapted for Windows by XDA Junior Member chan32167 for all users to enjoy. The method itself is pretty simple. For the Windows versions, simply unzip and execute the run.bat file inside. For the Mac and Linux versions, it’s a little bit more complicated.
When you untar the file. Please make sure to edit the runme.sh it has a path for adb that you need to fix. Other then that it will work.
You just chmod 755 runme.sh and run it
If you’re running ICS on your Transformer and are looking for an alternative root method, head over to the original thread. As usual, exercise caution and make sure you know what you’re doing before getting started.
