[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pthurmond:
So I am not entirely clear on this, but I am wondering if I am able to use the B&N provided stock update to 1.4.3 on my Nook Tablet 16GB that was rooted a long time ago using the Zergy simple method.

I got this Nook Tablet the first Christmas they were out and had it rooted by early January using the no frills Zergy method (and the walk through video). This allowed me full root access to the Android 3 OS and disabled OTA updates. I have the 16GB Nook Tablet.

What I want to do is get the latest stock rom, 1.4.3 (which I have already downloaded to my computer), and install it on my Nook. But I don't want to brick it. The device does not have Clockwork on it or any other tools like that. I have been searching around the forum for some clarity on this, but haven't had the best of luck.

Can I just apply the update via the normal install method? Would that brick my device? Would that de-root my device? I realize that their are instructions on how to root that rom, I am just curious.

Do I need to install Clockworkmod or would there be a problem given the method I used to root it in the first place? Do I need to do a full wipe and revert back to stock before installing the update?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
I'd suggest that you first try the update process as prescribed by B&N. If that does not work then try restore to stock (e.g., use flash_stock_1.4.2.zip at https://github.com/succulent/acclaim_recovery_sdcard) then retry the update.

You should back up your NT in its current configuration (see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37515697&postcount=31) before trying the above.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazdamiata210:
Which would you go with? I have a few people who are due for upgrade and they're unsure whether to go with the Note 2 or the S IV for AT&T... What does everyone think? Pros and cons of both.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
I think these people should use Google for the pros and cons and play with both phones in a shop to compare them. If they want the S-Pen the choice is easy.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rk@1984:
Definitely note 2 for the battery life... :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1punk20:
I would say the note 2, if you're planning on getting the U. S. version, then you should keep you're note 2. Because both phones have the same specs other than the screen resolution and some other things. Yes the S IV may have the swipe gestures and what not, but if you're running a custom touch wiz based room, or on stock rom and are rooted you can get these features on you're note 2. Now, if your getting the international version, I would suggest changing, because the international S IV has an 8 core processor, but that's really the only differences.

Hope this helped.

- CM 10.1 NIGHTLT

- ANDROID 4.2.2
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
All I have to say is that people that have to make the choice between the 2 are the luckiest ppl, both are major winners. On one side you have the Note 2 ( The best Samsung phone ever so far) with its insanely great battery life, it's flawless performance, S pen, all the touchwiz features with a nice big screen.

On the other side you have the S IV which brings out the best of the S3 and note 2 but with enhanced features, slimmer, thinner, lighter with A big size removable battery, 1080p super Amoled, a superior SoC, features GALORE.

It's a really hard choice , really really hard now that I think about it. Because the Note 2 is more affordable and has the S pen. But then again note 3 is on the horizon. Tough choices!!!!!!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hameerabbasi:
I'd probably get the note 2. I read a lot, and sometimes use the S pen.

Had a big problem with memory loss so did a hard reset

everything worked great but now for some reason every time i put the xda 11 in the cradle it comes up as a guest

i then deleted the active sync and reinstalled but it still comes up as a guest whereas all i want to be is a partner

any clues
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Jos:
Yeah, just remove the existing partnership.

You can do this in Active Sync WITHOUT THE XDA CONNECTED!!!!

File->Partnership

You can also change the name of your device in Settings->System->About->Device ID

[Transformer TF300T General] Morlok8k:
Edit: Motochopper hasnt worked for a long time.

If you want to root without unlocking, try Kingo.

(Due to XDA rules, we cant link to it, so you can just google it.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ORIGINAL POST:

I got my TF300T with JB preinstalled. So I've never been able to root until today. (I didn't want to unlock my bootloader.)

Motochopper is a root method made for the Motorola Razr HD by djrbliss (Dan Rosenberg), but is said to work on many other devices, including non-motorola ones.

I tried motochopper on my TF300T. I was rooted in about a minute!

Confirmed working with:

TF300T - 4.1.1

TF300T - 4.2.1 (Apparently Fails with 10.6.1.27)

TF300TG - 4.1.1

TF201

TF700 - 4.1.1

TF700 - 4.2.1

ME301T - 4.2.1 (Memo Smart Pad 10)

Nexus 7 - Link

Asus Transformer AIO P1801 B100K - 4.2.1

Failures:

Motorola Droid 4 - 4.1.2

TF700KL - 4.1.1

Motorola Droid 2 Global - 2.3.4 (1 success, 1 failure?)

Notes:

It installs SuperSu (which will ask to be updated)

It installs busybox 1.17 (which you will have to update manually)

Backup your root with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper!!!

If Motochopper fails, try Framaroot​

This does not touch your bootloader.

This is mainly for people that just want root, and don't want to deal with (or need) unlocking.

[Transformer TF300T General] riaan0469:
My TF300TG is reporting version 4.1.1. unfortunately one of those that went in for repairs and now cannot unlock the bootloader,

As far as I can see this is the latest version for the WW SKU (the one i've got), as there is no newer version for download on the ASUS website.

Does anybody know if it will be safe to try this on my 4.1.1. TF300TG?

OK. see the heading now changed to saying 4.1 and not 4.1.2 anymore. So I think i might give this a go on my TF300TG.
[Transformer TF300T General] l33ch0r:
Think you got a little mistake there. As far as I know the tf300 never had 4.1.2 ;)

This is awesome! Good find OP!
[Transformer TF300T General] Koersten:
This sounds great! I have still a locked Pad and want to root with this.But I have one question:

Can this be undone anyhow if I want to send it to Asus for a repair in the future?:confused:
[Transformer TF300T General] aerdely:
Not totally sure on this but as read in the link to the web site itbsays it required bootloader unlock which would be a no in your answer once unlocked warranty is voided and can't undo that as it sends a record to asus when you unlock it via they're tool. As maybe be wrong and hope i am but that that what i read as i needs an unl0cked bootloader to work. If soi would jump right on it also. Hope some one can verify that.

Ok after reading again it says something about moto posted an unlock tool but doesn't say if it requires to be unlocked so that would be trial and error at this point for someone to confirm that. I'm waiting to get access to a pc to attempt root in either method doesn't matter but can't try it at the moment. Would assume still need to be unlocked though.
[Transformer TF300T General] l33ch0r:
Some people on first page reported it working and they had their bootloaders still locked. So basically the warranty won't be void since the bootloader is still locked, right?
[Transformer TF300T General] vap_66:
My bootloader is locked, my warranty is still here... But I'm rooted! Magic :D.

Come on guys, you're done with it in a couple of minutes (I've included the computer boot time here). Don't be afraid, it won't explode (at least mine didn't).
[Transformer TF300T General] aerdely:
Yea reread the page it didn't mention if needed to be unlocked only that moto posted an unlock tool so hope this is true i will jump right on it. Can't confirm my self at the moment but hope some one can.
[Transformer TF300T General] Morlok8k:
It is safe to try.

Oops! typo! fixed! good catch!

Thanks! I was hoping that Dan Rosenberg (the king of root) would come out with a generic rooting proces for JB, and he did!

Yes. SuperSu has a option to fully unroot the tablet.
[Transformer TF300T General] aerdely:
Thanks can't wait to use it then just need to get a pc to try. Been waiting for something like this.
[Transformer TF300T General] Morlok8k:
warranty questions?

I really don't know. I'm not ASUS.

This does not touch your bootloader.

This is mainly for people that just want root, and don't want to deal with (or need) unlocking.

FYI: How to access "Developer Options" to set USB debugging:
[Transformer TF300T General] AcCeNtUeR:
I confirm the method works on Memo Smart Pad 10 (ME301T) with android 4.2.1
[Transformer TF300T General] Morlok8k:
yeah a couple guys were able to restore their broken root on the previous page using a combination of the files in mototchopper and the instructions in a link.

the strange thing is that your permissions look ok, but looks can be deceiving!

if that method doesnt work for you, just yell!

edit: it boils down to this:

maybe the trick was putting su in both "/system/bin" and "/system/xbin" ???

idk, i've had devices where it was installed in one or the other. though most have it in xbin.

umm... maybe a stupid question but check for the following:

echo $PATH

it should return "/system/bin:/system/xbin" (or vice-versa)
[Transformer TF300T General] DEN4U:
THX Morlok for this , it was a really good , no a great enormous uncanny news (sorry for uncanny but I'm french and like Xmen hihi ) and immediatly do the thing and reply it in France in some forums .

Many thanks to people here for advice. Can anyone point me to a simple guide about what to do with root access, or an app? Thinking here of easy things like adblocking, speeding up browser. Apologies if this seems newbie, but a lot of this thread is from people like me who have suddenly found an easy way to root, but what then...
[Transformer TF300T General] poofyhairguy:
Here is a guide I wrote for the TF201:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2230779

It includes things like adblocking, I/O boosts, and trim. The FSYNC disable trick should work for the TF300T but until someone confirms I have to say that one might lead to a softbrick on your device. So maybe avoid step 3 unless you don't mind the risk of testing.

Also avoid step five. I need to get a TF300T build.prop first. Every other step should work. I would love feedback.

It makes a big difference all together. My Transformer is much more responsive now.
