Ok, this baby has root now. Make sure your on the latest firmware - 8.6.5.18

then go to http://androidroot.mobi/ and download RazorClaw 1.0.1 to your device then install it. its a 1 click root and your good to go. installs super user for you.

Now just bring on the recovery/roms/kernels! :-p
 
Recovery and custom rom is already available. I have my slider rooted (with Razorclaw) then used this to get Clockwork recovery:

[APP] Recovery Installer - flash CWM with a Click - xda-developers

After install, to get into recovery you must hold power + volume down. Then, hit volume up.

Next, install this custom rom:

[ROM] KRAKD 1.2.1 |Nov. 19 2011| 8.6.5.19 SLIDER! TF & B70+! BLAZING FAST & OPTIMIZED - xda-developers

(do a wipe and wipe cache before install)


Finally, enjoy a REALLY nice Slider configuration ;) All done on my USA Slider a few days ago...and I can never look back ;)
 
well i installed the recovery, but i cant get it to boot into that with the key combo. i also tried adb reboot recovery, but that just reboots the tablet.

Click to expand...


It works. Try again. Hold power + down until you see some words on teh screen, then quickly push the volume up. It will enter Clockwork recovery.
 
well since i guess you guys fail to produce updates or try to get anyone here but me and 2 people for this forum, i'll just take my leave. but since noone but me and him care about this maybe we can be mods of this forum?
 
I am in the middle of a move, and have had no time to do anything other than root. Once I get settled, i will flash recovery and a rom or 2
 
So i tryed "razorclaw" root..... didnt seem to wk... just listed: Razorclaw - asus backup local root exploit by Androioroot.mobi [+] created fake related path [+] created fake dattabase [-] unknown error whist trying to root device:256 At the top of the post it said to be on the latest firmware so i uploaded it from asus....and then when i go to dl razorclaw it said not to update frimware and i already did so... am i missing somethihng? Im new to "root" and "rom" this is my first droid based OS...im guessing its similar to jailbreaking an Iphone which im familar w.
 
do you have usb debugging turned on?

menu settings applications development usb debugging checked?

it took 2 times for me to gain root. also, once you get root, booting to recovery takes some getting used to
 
I understand that this does not work if you have a ROM version later than 8.6.5.18! Has anybody tried it with the latest update (8.6.5.21)? Any other options to root the slider?
 
I do believe that there are other options, however XDA is down until 50,000 signatures against SOPA or PIPA or till 8pm. But i believe there is a root method for all firmware versions
