I now have SU on my TF300T. How do I boot into recovery? I want to put a rom on now.
[Transformer TF300T General] poofyhairguy:
ROMing requires unlocking the bootloader.
[Transformer TF300T General] ScottBroker:
even now that I have SU? Once I install TWRP or CWM can I not just flash a rom?
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
I would not attempt installing a ROM without recovery and an open bootloader because if something goes wrong, you won't have any recourse of recovering your tablet.
[Transformer TF300T General] Morlok8k:
then try the wifi connect method. google adb wifi connect.

recovery doenst work yet.

even if you manually flash twrp where its supposed to go, it doesnt work because the bootloader is locked.
[Transformer TF300T General] ScottBroker:
Keep up the good work. At least now I can use my Titanium Backup....

exploit complete,press enter to reboot and exit,press any key to continue,done,and nothing happens, not success or failed showing up,nothing happens to the tablet,any help would be appreciated,thanks.
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
Your computer apparently doesn't know what adb is. You need to get adb properly working first.

I tried one easy way that it had worked for me in the past (pdanet) nothing.....sdk? this is kicking my butt,lol! I know at the end it would turn out to be something simple,lol,anyway,simpler suggestions?:D...thanks,keep up the good work!

Got my TF300T last night...rooted this morning in 30 seconds. Make sure you have all the drivers..uninstall any previous android drivers and install fresh ones for the Asus..maybe that will help?
[Transformer TF300T General] joshiepoogoose:
couldnt find one that didnt need root
[Transformer TF300T General] Chris9446:
What do I do? I installed asus sync and tried editting the run.bat with the code someone else provided..

i just tried re-installing the asus suite and uninstalled the android driver in device manager before doing it.

Asus sync doesn't connect to my device but I can access the storage from explorer :s

EDIT

I got to this

Am I rooted? I have superSU now :S

Edit 2

...nope :S I have superSU but no root wtf

Edit 3

I tried it again and now superSU loaded the binaries fine... Is it safe to say I'm now rooted? :/
[Transformer TF300T General] Morlok8k:
Does the script itself say it failed, or are you saying it failed because its not rooted? (they are 2 entirely different things)

was your tablet rooted in the past?

actually, if you connect via usb, issue the command "adb tcpip 55555", then issue "adb connect [ip address]:55555" (like 192.168.1.34:55555)

this method doesnt need root. but it does need to be able to connect over usb... catch-22?

root is needed in the other (non-official) ways of enabling the service to the tablet itself...

suggestion: try linux, or a different computer.

yes.

The above is the code I used to fix the broken root on my RAZR MAXX HD.

I am not sure if it will work for just anyone because before I did this I had

pushed a lot of code to my phone from earlier in this thread but these were

the last lines I used before I restored root.

I am a n00b and line 5 may not be exactly how it looked because I closed

the command prompt before I copied the code. But I do know the part I

typed in, "/system/xbin/su" is right. I don’t remember what was before

/system/xbin/su but the beginning part doesn’t need to be typed in anyway.

So basically this is the same as what Morlok8k posted but with my line 5 I

got root@android:/ # instead of shell@android:/ #. But I don’t know what

any of it means. Haha.

Thanks to Morlok8k for all your help!

No, not yet
[Transformer TF300T General] qwewew:
Fantastic, thanks OP! (& original creator!)

I did encounter a couple of problems to which I will post the solution that worked for me:

1) Encountered the 'error: device not found'

This was caused by using incorrect drivers, I resolved by uninstalling my current drivers, then installing the latest version of Asus Sync (1.0.96) which installed ASUS Android USB Drivers v4.0.6442

I also had to go into the 'Asus Customized Setting' on the TF300 and enable 'Launch Asus Sync' though tbh I'm not sure if this effected my ability to root or not.

2) I also encountered the 'adb server out of date' error which seemed to cause the .bat file to loop.

I resolved this by going into the Asus Sync install folder and renaming adb.exe to adb_orig.exe (I don't intend to use Asus Sync, but uninstalling it completely seemed to cause the root to continue to fail)

Thanks to everyone for your help in this thread, XDA is awesome!

[Transformer TF300T General] aerdely:
Have a question. If any one who has rooted with this method rma'd there tablet. Just wondering but when i rma'd my tablet today, asus asked for permission to recover my operating system which if they do so would they be able to see if you were rooted. Now at this point haven't rooted yet but just wondering if anyone who has and just putting out there could be an issue when you rma. Not saying for sure haven't heard of this happening yet but just curious.
[Transformer TF300T General] buhohitr:
I believe that they just need your permission o recover the OS, meaning all your data and personal data will be wipe by them because they don't want you to blame them for losing your stuff. Also only if you unlocked then you should be worry, else you should be fine. Either way you have no choice but let them proceed.
[Transformer TF300T General] aerdely:
Yea wasn't sure figured that my self as I also read they aren't responsible for losing any data. Haven't heard of it being an issue before and I'm not rooted my self but was just curious for rooting in the future. Thanks.

Any experiences on ENCRYPTED devices?

Hi everyone.

I'm glad there is a way for my JB Transformer TF 201 to be rooted.

But since I've already bricked it once I'd like to be sure ...

Yeah, noob I know - but hey ... they messed my RMA so they presented me with a brand new display on a second run :D

Has someone already tried this on an fully encrypted device? :confused:

I've searched the forum and found that it might not be the best idea to try it.

Seems the safest way is to factory-reset first.

But maybe it's not necessary since most issues I found are about TWRP-driven ways to root.

I only want to root - no need for custom ROMs.

Any suggestions?

Regards.

----

EDIT:

Encouraged from the reply "just to try motochopper" eralier this thread I did it with system encrypten still enabled.

Worked fine for me.

COOLNESS! Tnx for this great Tools

Lost Root after Safestrap Recovery

I have a Droid Razr Maxx HD on 4.1.2 which I easily rooted with Motochopper a few days ago. I installed Safestrap and all went well. I did a recovery of the stock ROM from a backup that was made only a few hours before. All went well except that I lost Root. I am unable to get root back through Motochopper or VooDoo. I tried restoring without wiping anything and also wiping everything. I also tried with two older rooted backups. Safestrap is still available on boot and I can still use it for recovery. I have tried restoring the backups and using Motochopper numerous times over the past few days but cannot get root again.

Next, using Safestrap, I created a Rom Slot-1 and restored my stock backup to it. When I boot from Slot-1 one I get my system back plus I have root again. Only problem is that the system storage is low in that slot even though I chose the 3gb option (I have a lot of apps). Everything is also sluggish running from Slot-1. I can't figure out why I can't get root in the Stock slot when I wipe it and restore, but I get it in Slot 1 with the same backup restored.

How can I restore the stock ROM from my backup and keep root? Any help would be very much appreciated!
