Help on rooting Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet?

[AussieGuy]

Where can I find some advice about rooting my Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet? It doesn't have its own forum here, and all the old posts have been archived.

I've tried Debugfs (from the xda-developers site) from Windows, and then motochopper from linux - neither of which worked (although that could be a cabling issue).

What I'm hoping for is some step-by-step instructions which will walk me through rooting the tablet - and then unlocking the bootloader, and installing a custom ROM.

Thanks!

Did you see this thread in the Thinkpad Tablet root forum, it might help:

If you can't see those older posts you can edit your profile settings.

Thanks, kate. I wonder of the exploit discussed there only worked for TPT's before ICS? The xda-developer folks seem to recommend hte RootDebugfs exploit (which was discovered for Asus tablets, and was magically found to work on TPT's as well), or the newer motochopper.

I'll try again anyway with a new cable!
