Prerender with Angular UI Router not rendering root page dynamic content - angularjs

Question

I have prerender working and running for all pages except the root(home) page.
For example:
http://www.example.com/?_escaped_fragment_=
doesn't render the dynamic data. All other pages works like
http://www.example.com/contact?_escaped_fragment_=
It's like angular UI router doesn't know what state the root it's in so it leaves the view blank. However root page http://www.example.com without escaped_fragment does render it correctly.
I have added the fragment meta tag in the header and html5 to true in angular config.
index.html:
<meta name="fragment" content="!">
app.js:
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
$locationProvider.hashPrefix('!');
.htaccess:
# Change YOUR_TOKEN to your prerender token and uncomment that line if you want to cache urls and view crawl stats
# Change http://example.com (at the end of the last RewriteRule) to your website url
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
#RequestHeader set X-Prerender-Token "MY TOKEN"

Answer 1

Your .htaccess might have the URL set to /index.php for the homepage. If so, you could change your rewrite rule to this:
RewriteRule ^(?!.*?(\.js|\.css|\.xml|\.less|\.png|\.jpg|\.jpeg|\.gif|\.pdf|\.doc|\.txt|\.ico|\.rss|\.zip|\.mp3|\.rar|\.exe|\.wmv|\.doc|\.avi|\.ppt|\.mpg|\.mpeg|\.tif|\.wav|\.mov|\.psd|\.ai|\.xls|\.mp4|\.m4a|\.swf|\.dat|\.dmg|\.iso|\.flv|\.m4v|\.torrent|\.ttf|\.woff))(index\.php)?(.*) http://service.prerender.io/http://www.example.com$3 [P,L]
I added (index.php)? to capture that out if found and changed the $2 to $3. Don't forget to change the http://www.example.com to your domain.
