I tried this change, but it creates problems for the suspension of the Wi-Fi when the tablet goes into standby, you need to have longer battery life personally have taken root permissions

Send to Asus TF300T JB 4.2.1 and Galaxy S2 NFC JB
[Transformer TF300T General] wetbiker7:
Thanks, that's what I thought. Still, this is huge for our tablet. Unfortunately I bought my tablet around Christmas so this doesn't help me. I probably would have went ahead and unlocked and flashed TWRP anyways since I do a lot of flashing different ROMs.

This is perfect for the person who just wants to root though. :thumbup:

not working?

Sorry if this has been posted before, I didn't know what to search for.

I ran the motochopper and it went through perfectly. Well, the first time it said failure because I already had superuser.apk, but then the second time I uninstalled SuperSU and cleared data for superuser and that time it went through without a hitch. But I'm not rooted and I don't know why.

I tried master resetting twice and I cleared the cache partition as well, but no luck. I can't seem to root my Razr Maxx HD. Any ideas?
[Transformer TF300T General] l33ch0r:

If you want to flash things like you would in recovery - I guess there's no way to do it without a recovery.
[Transformer TF300T General] abczhou:
yes, i had ever rooted when it was 4.0 .but the root state was broken for unknown reason and i upgraded to 4.1 and then 4.2.1 .it remains its locked boot loader. yesterday, when i read this thread and tried this tool,but root didn't back. i have tried uninstall all relevant software include supersu, superuser,voodoo ota keeper and run script,but still can not get root permission, any thing i should do to achieve root

[Transformer TF300T General] nhshah7:
took 20-30 mins to figure out how to get it to work. had to update the adb files used in it to the latest version, which supports jb 4.2. use the attached files.

all credit to drjbliss and i'm not responsible if anything breaks! :)

edit: you may have to keep the screen on to approve the computer for adb to access and control the device, and approve another popup when it tries to push root. you also need to enable usb debugging (in developer options). to enable developer options, go to settings, about, then scroll to the bottom and tap the build version 7 times. this must be done via the main user. exit the 'about menu', go to developer options and check USB debugging. when the script is running, you may have to approve for adb to transfer apps over adb.

[Transformer TF300T General] Morlok8k:
ok, now that is says "root@android:/ #", you have been able to get root permissions.

now you just need to get the right permissions on your su file.

you can try:

chattr -i /system/xbin/su
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su

or you can delete your su

rm /system/xbin/su

and run the whole rooting process again...

you have a broken root. we have been discussing how to fix it all over this thread.

[Transformer TF300T General] Morlok8k:
really?

verify that the new su is there

ls -l /system/xbin/su

and tell me what permissions it has.

verify the system is RW.

and you are using SuperSU, correct? Not superuser

Hmmm...

maybe on you computer you can try

adb shell

if you get "root@android:/ #" continue with the instructions below

if you get "[something else]@android:/ $" try typing in "su" and see if the new binary works.

adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su

thought it worked for the first time adb shell command went straight to a root shell, then checked ls -l /system/xbin/su, it was ---sr---wt so run earlier commands what failed to change permission this time i get results relayed back to me and it says su file is now -rwsr-sr-x root, going to reboot

This is the one of greatest achievement made by motochopper developer and Morlok8k who took risk and tested on his transformer and found to work, as well as shared with us all (The Transformer Owners).

But the thing I didn't understand is, why the XDA News Writer members has not yet recognized this and posted on xda portal? Is this really nothing? After JB OTA had released for transformer, there was no root and thousands of owners were waiting for it.

I even clicked "tip us?" on the first day of this thread release and I'm sure many of others have also clicked. Please "XDA News Writer members", bring this achievement to xda portal!

Can I ask a really dumb question?

What does this form of rooting allow me to do - or put another way, what does it not allow?

Will official updates still work?
[Transformer TF300T General] l33ch0r:
Relatively easy.

1. Ensure that you have enabled USB debugging

2. Connect your tablet to the pc (pc should recognize it of course)

3. Go into the motochopper folder which you should've extracted

4. Run "run.bat" as administrator and follow instructions on screen

(if you're using comodo firewall and defense+ I'd disable defense+ - otherwise it could annoy ;) )
[Transformer TF300T General] theandies:
TF201 owner here - THANKS. Worked like a charm.
[Transformer TF300T General] Morlok8k:
damn, idk now. you have the correct permissions.

maybe try Koush's Superuser or ChainsDD's Superuser.

they might be able to update it and get it working.

I'm baffled as to why its not working for you now.

sorry...

with access to the root shell, you can do anything - so search around on the net to see if you can find something that works.

I clicked "tip us" as well.

thanks for the complement!

I googled for a second and found that the BUS ERROR typically happens on Mac's.

Since you ran "run.bat", I'm assuming you are using windows.

try updating to the latest version of adb.

could you be more specific to what the problem is?

This form of rooting just roots the device. You do not unlock the bootloader.

So, if you are person who just wants the stock firmware, but rooted, this is for you.

If you are interested in custom roms and installing custom recovery, you want to unlock your bootloader and go that route.

You will be able to get OTA updates with this method. (be sure to back up root, of course.)

Hi Morlok8k,

I felt frustrated about root. I had tried everything post/method to fix the broke root, but it didn't help.

I'd tried the method of http://matthill.eu/mobile/root-transformer-prime-jellybean-update/ and the way you posted.

in voodoo rootkeeper , it said "device rooted" , but not all 5 check-boxes are checked, it leaves the "root permission granted" unchecked.

And every app which needs root privilege never ask root permission, and i cannot get # prompt when i type "adb shell" and "su".

#prompt only can get from "./su-backup".

I post latest su file here, would you please have a look? thanks,

I got "adb server is out of date" repeatedly as a message during the process. Anyone explain?

SuperSU appears to installed but not Busy Box (it's an app?)

OK, what now...? I have no idea if I am unrooted or not. Or how to do anything if I am... SuperSU doesn't seem to offer me any options to do anything?

I knew I should have left this alone...

UPDATE

OK, root checker says I have root access. So why no Busy box and what does that mean? Is that why I don't seem to be able to do anything with root access via SuperSU? Or is it because I am an idiot? Be kind... I am 55 years old and all this is new to me.
[Transformer TF300T General] brainimpact:
supersu wont have options in it for you to do things in the sense you are thinking, it gives permission to apps that require root to run.

install something like titanium backup or root browser then open one, you should see a popup from SuperSu in middle of screen asking if you want to grant permission to the app you have just opened that needs root.

you will see no app icon for busybox in your app drawer it does not have a GUI frontend

seriously if you do not know what these things are or what they potentially do you should be really careful

when you download and extract the file, it is located in a folder called platform-tools.

your welcome! (i see you later got it working... more below)

awesome! I'm glad you got it working!

Interesting... I'll check it out.

SUCCESS!!!! WHOOO!!!!!

thats too bad, I'll update the main post. thanks for letting us know.

busybox isn't an app. it gives commandline tools that are the basic tools of any linux distribution.

Android is a variant of Linux, fyi.

many apps that use root, also need busybox for these basic tools, so its common to install busybox while rooting.

you can get a couple different busybox updaters on the market to make sure it is up to date. (the one this script provides is already out of date by a couple versions)

its ok if you dont know what it does, just keep it up to date with busybox update app.

The SuperSU app basically only handles letting apps have root access. root access gives complete control over every file on the devices system - you need this for apps that do low-level stuff, as well as system customizations.

for example, on my phone i needed root permissions to change a setting in a sqlite database that made android complain that i was sending too many texts too quickly. (more than 100 in an hour)

yes, be very careful with root - you can easially damage your system so it wont work anymore. I did that once trying to uninstall busybox! I had to reflash my phone to stock!

Dude, you are a f**cking hero! Kudo's to you for having the balls to test this and then share your successful result with the community.

bus error message again

Hi

Thanks for your help as you mentioned I got the latest ADB and tried to root my Asus memo pad me172v again in windows 7 but I faced the same error

"'Bus error"' even I gave it another try after installing the newest Ubuntu and I failed to do anything as the same message appeared in the terminal(bus error). Now I am desperate . Are there any other solutions to this problem? I really need to root my device.

Thanks
[Transformer TF300T General] Morlok8k:
well, make sure your cable is plugged into a USB 2.0 port and not a 3.0 port

(USB 3.0 ports are notorious for not working with adb)

also, when using windows, make sure you have all the needed drivers.

you can always try another computer.

you can try the adb connect function where it connects over wifi instead of usb. your computer and device need to be on the same network,

I dont know the details of doing it this way, just that it is possible.

you would have to edit the root script accordingly, to add the needed commands...

Lost root due to failed (unwanted) encrytion - now 'broken root'

I lost root last week due to an 'encryption was interupted' error. I have no idea how encryption was started (not my doing) but the only way to recover was a total wipe. I reinstalled apps & data using the Asus backup utility. This left me with all normal apps working but no root (even though SU & Busybox were restored from the backup).

So now I have a broken root and the Motochopper method fails (reports success but still no root access).

Using ADB I can set /system/ as RW etc but cannot get root back. Looking at the files I see -

shell@android:/system/xbin # ll busybox

ll busybox

-rwxr-xr-x root shell 1867568 2013-04-15 20:02 busybox

shell@android:/system/xbin # ll su

ll su

-rwsr-sr-x root root 91980 2013-04-15 20:02 su

shell@android:/system/xbin # cd ..

cd ..

shell@android:/system # cd bin

cd bin

shell@android:/system/bin # ll busybox

ll busybox

-rwxr-xr-x root root 1867568 2013-04-15 20:52 busybox

shell@android:/system/bin # ll su

ll su

-rwsr-sr-x root root 380532 2013-03-08 09:13 su

In the su app I see in the log access allowed for shell and root - no other requests (from apps) are logged.

Any suggestions how to proceed to get root back please?
