Why would you have to install linux? This tool is compatable with windows, mac os, or linux...

Since you have been unable to get it working, you may want to do a factory reset to clear it from the device completely

Go to a different computer and install the drivers, and try again after enabling adb... make sure your virus software isn't quarantining any of the files... (ie, on my computer it kept removing the pwn file as it thought it was a virus, and I kept getting failure, until I realized what was happening)

Does anyone know if this works for the Motorola Droid RAZR M on VZW?

Thanks!
[Transformer TF300T General] Morlok8k:
he could just use a linux live cd if its not working in windows for him.

oh, and technically all root exploit scripts are linux viruses. but unlike viruses typically found on the internet, they are beneficial to the user, and don't self-propagate and do all the other bad stuff a virus could do.

But that is why your anitvirus program is flagging it. It is doing its job - removing all viruses.
[Transformer TF300T General] heat57:
It really works!

I was sceptical at first as it seemed too easy to be true. But, alas I have rooted JB 4.2.1 v10.6.1.8 and then decided to upgrade to 10.6.1.15.3 and rooted again and once again it was successful. I have full root access and am still with a locked bootloader! I am very happy, thanks to the OP.:good::silly:

P.S. and it is so, so easy, unbelievable.
[Transformer TF300T General] Datstonerguy7:
worked on my my tf300t instantaneously and was quite simple to install!
[Transformer TF300T General] igoigo:
I don't know why but this is not working with me. I already tried to do a factory reset and nothing, the most incredible thing is that after the reset, the app "superuser" continues there, installed! What can I do? This is so frustrating!

My tablet is the asus TF300TG 4.1.2
[Transformer TF300T General] :
Did you do the reset in recovery or in settings?
[Transformer TF300T General] solid_id:
It didn't prompt for binary update or anything..

it's just failed...saying there is a problem, that's it... no clue given at all
[Transformer TF300T General] igoigo:
I did the reset in the settings and after a cold reboot, and in the end a Wipe data in the recovery menu.
[Transformer TF300T General] redsnake80:
It's possible run in OS X?

Thanks in advance
[Transformer TF300T General] :
Yes... Did you read the instructions? You would have seen that...

Thanks, in the link of droid-life

If you are using Linux or OS X, navigate to the extracted directory in a terminal and execute “./run.sh”.
[Transformer TF300T General] Koersten:
Decided to root. Everything worked very well. Im happy:victory:
[Transformer TF300T General] riaan0469:
And try I did. I can now say with great joy that my 4.1.1 Tf300TG is rooted. Awesome.

Thank you very much. I had no way of unlocking the bootloader since it went in for repairs. Now at least I have root again.
[Transformer TF300T General] baldbear:
It worked for me too!

I can vouch for it too. Don't bother going all the way back just run the batch file, less than 30 seconds for me. Done! TF700
[Transformer TF300T General] nuno407:
works like a charm :D
[Transformer TF300T General] l33ch0r:
Just did it.

Who said it'll take few minutes? Didn't even take one minute for me :D

Let's see if it worked :)

SuperSU tells me there's no su-binary installed and SuperSU can't do it. Furthermore it says that "this is a problem"...well...What exactly did I do wrong? I know only one way of pressing the enter button :D it's not really like there is much more to do then to press enter to start the procedure :confused:

Btw: I'm on 4.2.1

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

Never mind. Let the procedure run through again now it works :)
[Transformer TF300T General] nuno407:
Tr again rum the script. Reboot the tablet and install voodoo root keaper and see if work. I do this and worked :D

Try to downlod again and unzip again.

Report if work
[Transformer TF300T General] l33ch0r:
Did work already ;)

Voodoo root keeper is, as I understand, an app which tries to keep root when doing a firmware update.

I mean, this is permanent root, isn't it? It won't go away as soon as I reboot the tablet.

But finally I can get rid of those unnecessary asus apps :)
[Transformer TF300T General] sheep348:
n00b Question

I'm so happy to find this! I lost root and have been waiting for this everyday.

I had root before the OTA to 4.1.2 and lost it during the update. Will having some apps frozen with titanium backup cause any problems? I know I had some system bloatware frozen.
[Transformer TF300T General] SpindlyJim:
I've been waiting too.

TF300 with no changes since the 4.2.1 OTA push about a month ago. (Stock loader and everything else)

Downloaded and ran the "motochopper" setup and it worked like a charm. I can "traceroute" in the terminal emulator again.

I did forget about the "tap build number 7 times" and couldn't find the USB debug setup.

Thanks MUCH!
[Transformer TF300T General] sheep348:
Thanks for the help but I am not sure that answers my question or I just don't understand it.

I had root before the OTA to 4.1.2 and lost it during the update. I know I had some system bloatware frozen. Will having some apps frozen with titanium backup cause any problems?????
[Transformer TF300T General] nuno407:
It is permanent until new instalalation. I say to check voodo because in the appapear if you are rooted or not. And dont forget to make root backup!

One more thing to make this tablet excelent...nvflash!! :p please asus see this :p

Hope that asus will not correct this bug to root :)
[Transformer TF300T General] Morlok8k:
awesome! (why cant you unlock the bootloader?)

Glad to hear it works on the TF700!

good, it worked the 2nd time.

shouldnt be an issue.

thats why i added those instructions!
[Transformer TF300T General] elesbb:
Quick question

After rooting via this method.

Is one able to install a recovery using either DD method or ROM Toolbox?

If you try this, please for heaven's sake, install the PROPER recovery for the 4.2.1 bootloader! IT IS NOT ON TWRP's website! it is in the threads on here.
[Transformer TF300T General] nhshah7:
just rooted my TF201 (can't unlock my bootloader due to error) after losing root last RMA - THANK YOU!
[Transformer TF300T General] pedrike:
Exelent, thz .... i´ll try in a friends tablet ...
[Transformer TF300T General] Morlok8k:
Good question!

Honestly, I don't know.

The only methods I've seen for installing a recovery are using fastboot.

Links to info?
[Transformer TF300T General] horseless:
rma'd my tf201 and got serial number re-installed but no unlock ability

This worked for me to get root but i need to know if I can fastboot in and install twrp with this new root and no unlock? Asus does not have very good customer service and they took $341 from me to get the serial number re-installed......

Chris
[Transformer TF300T General] Morlok8k:
Well, I haven't tried this yet...

But it looks like, theoretically, you can do the following to install TWRP:

JUST BE SURE TO USE THE CORRECT VERSION OF TWRP!!!

If you are using TF300T JB 4.2.1 then use this link to a patched file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mzckauxlapfh9zt/recoverytf300t4.2.zip OR http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390362690511176284

If you are using TF300T JB 4.1.1 then use the official source: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/tf300t be sure to download one labeled "-JB"

I cant say it will work - This is just a compilation of research I've found. I havent tried it.
[Transformer TF300T General] Dr.Alexander_Breen:
Dauuyyyym. And I just unlocked my bootloader only to see this thread :(
[Transformer TF300T General] Morlok8k:
i tried installing twrp using the dd method above.

I told the tablet to restart, and pressed the Vol Down button. the bootloader came up, i selected RCK by pressing Vol Up.

I got the android guy laying on his back with the exclamation point.

didnt work.

someone more experienced with recovery will have to figure it out.

I'm assuming that it would need some sort of 2nd-init / kexec type of hack to get it working, like on motorola phones. It didnt work precisely because the bootloader is locked, and wont run unsigned code.
[Transformer TF300T General] AndyC76:
Thank you :)

Worked perfectly on my 4.2.2 Nexus 4
[Transformer TF300T General] riff3611:
dont work

I have asus tf300t 4.2.1jb and dont works says that have no su binary wht can i do???
[Transformer TF300T General] redsnake80:
Worked perfectly on my Asus Memopad 4.1.1 via OSX

Thanks!!! :D
[Transformer TF300T General] Planet X:
Make sure you installed the right drivers for adb. Check in commandline or terminal with "adb devices" before start script. If you don't get your device in view you need to reinstall correct drivers. Then it will work.
[Transformer TF300T General] riff3611:

my asus tf300t 4.2.1 is android who to i download the drivers and where do i find them? thanks
[Transformer TF300T General] bobstone:
ota broke root fix?!?

Good afternoon all. I rooted my asus tf700f before jb and used rootkeeper but after the jb update, superuser binary wont update saying it cant get root but the apps I previously granted root, still get root. I think the update killed superuser or the binaries. Can I use this motochopper to fix this? I saw 1person ran some code that sounds similar to my situation and also heard unroot and uninstall my su and run motochopper.

Please give me an idea whats the right way to go. I want to fix my root but not risk killing access I already gave to prior root apps that still work.

Please anyone asap, im borrowing a laptop ill only have 1 more day.
[Transformer TF300T General] Agred:
Will debloating my TF300T make OTA fail? I know they're installed in /system partition and read that every changes in this partition can stop OTA.
[Transformer TF300T General] KinetiClutch:
Yes... Try and download and replace all the APKs you've removed
[Transformer TF300T General] Morlok8k:
yes.

OTA's dont contain the full update. they contain the difference between the old file and the new file (this saves space).

So, if you add files to /system that are not in the OTA, they are not affected (except for changing the attributes - this is what breaks root)

Files that were deleted from /system make the OTA fail, because it's not expecting that. (this is why the official way of unlocking and rooting the tablet turns off OTA updates - ASUS cannot be sure what is missing or changed on the tabet.)

So, just use the FULL update instead of the OTA...
[Transformer TF300T General] Agred:
What do you mean by "Full" update?
[Transformer TF300T General] Morlok8k:
the updates posted on ASUS's website that you manually install.
[Transformer TF300T General] Agred:
And that won't void my warranty in any way? Don't know why but my device doesn't see any OTA... It's not rooted and has locked bootloader.
[Transformer TF300T General] powghi:
I think because you roited it before. Your device already repaired by asus?

Sent from my PadFone 2
[Transformer TF300T General] Agred:
Yes... I had rooted and unlocked device in which ASUS replaced mainboard (they have worst repair rules ever...). Right now my device isn't rooted and unlocked but I can't update to 4.2 by OTA (it doesn't see any update).
[Transformer TF300T General] Flashben:
When I send my TF300TG for repair, it was return with the Latest 4.2.2 OS and I am able to root using this...
[Transformer TF300T General] Morlok8k:
only unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty.
[Transformer TF300T General] wilkie1020:
Hey all,

Does the motochopper tool require I have the Android APK installed, as well as ADB and proper drivers? Or just the drivers for my devices?

Also, should I perform a factory reset and clear my cache before rooting?
[Transformer TF300T General] :
Device drivers

You can leave your cache and data.
[Transformer TF300T General] Agred:
Using this method WILL void warrancy, right?
[Transformer TF300T General] robgee789:
nope mate it wont affect your warrenty
[Transformer TF300T General] :
This is inaccurate. Although it doesn't modify your hardware and it can easily be unrooted, it does technically void your warranty if they find out its rooted
[Transformer TF300T General] powghi:
I think thats the reason why we dont get updates. Because we alrady unlock the boot loader. It was writen in disclaimer before we unlock it, we will not recieve ota updates.

Sent from my PadFone 2
[Transformer TF300T General] :
You need to download the update from the web and load it.
[Transformer TF300T General] behnamha91:

[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
Only unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty. This method does not unlock the bootloader.
[Transformer TF300T General] ch3mn3y:

This is not accurate. I asked Asus support on the phone.

Did you UNzip the file ONCE (not twice) and put that file on your sdcard and reboot?
[Transformer TF300T General] Morlok8k:
your root is broken. there are steps on this thread to fix it. your screenshot even says what the problem is: the setuid bit is not set correctly. Basically you need to do is

chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su

(but you might have problems with that if you can't get root access to do it.)

Rooting grants you the ability to do anything (with the filesystem) on the tablet. including your ability to royally f**k things up.

So, while root is removable, If you ever need to send your unit in, i'd do a full flash of the system before sending it in (if possible).
[Transformer TF300T General] behnamha91:
no (there isn't this instruction on first post), but now i test it and not worked if i test it correctly ( i put motochopper folder (contain: adb.exe, adb.linux, ......) on sdcard folder in tablet (contain: Android, download, blue tooth, .... ) )

thanks for replaying but I'm a little noob :D so plz explain briefly

i test your code on terminal emulator and it said "bad mode" is necessary to to code something before it ?

and two more thing i have read about superSU and Superuser and there conflict should i unistall one of them ? (superSU is installed after every motochopper run)

and other report that i have no directory such "we-need-root"

an other test : method said in post #167 for broken root and it dosn't work :(

other test : post # 181 of u in this thread and again doesn;t work

yes, it works, but what to do now???

can i just unlock bootloader via Unlock Device App: Unlock boot loader from ASUS support site (after success it will reboot or something) and then flash ClockworkMod recovery via ROM Manager? And then I just download rom or kernel and put it on sd and just flash it and it will be all?

As I said, I have no idea, no idea which rom or kernel is the best fo gaming, which ClockworkMod recovery is the best for my device and if that Unlock Device App will working ... or even if my theory is right. Also I have som knowledge about fastboot but every quide was for 4.1 non rooted only.

if you was on windows create an ubuntu 13.04 live usb x64(adb only works on x64 machines) and but it, when it will ask to try or install tell it try,

once in desktop

"press ctrl+t"

and paste this command

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb

and then after it finishes installing download motochoper and extract inside the home folder and type in terminal

chmod +x run.sh

after that it will work, windows are know to not work properly with adb and fastboot

Hello Morlok8k, you can add the LG-P875 (aka LG Optimus F5) on the confirmed working list :) I gave a try to motochopper on my cellphone after reading your post and some others on XDA ... focusing on LG Optimus devices : it seems LG Optimus G has been reported as working with motochopper and LG Optimus F7 should be working too (these devices belong to the same lineup as the F5 ...) but i can only confirm for the F5 !

Thank you for heading me to the right direction ... and have a nice day ;)
