How to Root the Asus Transformer Prime with SparkyRoot app
The Asus Transformer Prime is known to be the first tablet featuring an NVIDIA quad-core processor. The recent release of an Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update also made the tablet the first quad-core device running the latest Android OS. With the fastest processor and the sweetest Android OS already packed under the hood, rooting your tablet will make the combination complete.
XDA Developers member sparkym3 introduced an app-based rooting method that will root your Transformer Prime in just a few taps. The rooting method requires you to install the app called SparkyRoot and it will automatically root your tablet. The app is based on the busybox exploit found by developer rhcp0112345.
