Sorry, you are really in the wrong thread here.

This is the TF300T forum thread on motochopper, a way to root without unlocking and without using TWRP.

Please check the TF700T forums for a thread, where you are more likely to get a proper answer.

Thanks!
[Transformer TF300T General] inky2020:
Download motochopper zip file,extract file to Drive c, make sure your device is recognized by your computer (adb drives)

go to start,computer,click drive c(os) in there find the folder with motochopper,double click it,you will see a bunch of files click run(windows batch file) a black screen will pop out,follow instructions and will be done in a minute or so,hope it helps.

Wow, i forgot that it existed, don't know but i will try it 0n tg and 4.2 now, wish me luck

update: IT ****ING WORKED!!!!!!!!

thank man for sharing this, i wanted to root for so long but my tablet is one of the few unlucky ones that could not unlock the bootloader, you are a life saver
[Transformer TF300T General] dzumagos:
i have the MEMO. if i root using this method (which i know is possible) will i be able to OTA later (and would root be preserved) ? is it possible to unroot and go back to stock ? and obviously this itself doest allow for any roms/mods flashing since the bootlader remains locked and recovery remains stock ?
[Transformer TF300T General] f69m:
Yes, OTA should still work. Worst case you can download the ZIPs from Asus and drop them on the sdcard.

Usually not, but there are some tools. Never used any of those myself though, so can only point you at search. ;)

Don't quite understand?

If you root with motochopper you still have stock, just with an additional binary "su" and an additional app "SuperSU".

I am afraid not. If you root, all you have is rooted stock.

You have to unlock the bootloader to install custom ROMs.
[Transformer TF300T General] dzumagos:
@up

thnks for reply, by going back to stock i meant reverting to stock and UNROOTED rom (for example - warranty purposes).

so i belive in order to achive that i have to, as you mentioned, download system image from asus site and flash it ?
[Transformer TF300T General] f69m:
IMHO should be enough to uninstall the "SuperSU" app and remove the "su" binary.

It is really just those two things that make it "rooted". Nothing bad happening that can't be undone. :)
[Transformer TF300T General] migs_jaime:

I just ran this on my TF300 (4.2.1 stock), and it said it was successful but when I try to open SuperSU I get an error message 'No SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it'. What has happened?

Also, if I get it to work, how do I manually update Busybox (I don't see it installed anywhere) as suggested in the OP? Thanks!

Edit: Nevermind! Ran it again and this time it worked, thanks a million! Now to remove all that bloatware.....
[Transformer TF300T General] nerotNS:

I have goclever tab R76.1 with jelly bean 4.1.1. For 2 months i try get root on this device. Yesterday i lost hope, but suddenly i find this great motochopper root-pack. Everything seems to go great but.....always is "but". All proces goes good, at the end says me success, reboot. SuperSU is installed, but when i try open it says "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is the problem". I try many times, every time is the same. Installation SuperSu after proces from playstore isnt working because SuperSU is olready there. What can i do, please heeeeeelp :crying: . I try all root programs, all root packs, read many posts on many forums and motochopper is my last hope. Only this thing works, but just a little bit and i will be in heaven ! No su no root so please please help...
[Transformer TF300T General] nerotNS:
If it all went well you should have the su binary. You can check that by connecting your device to the PC and then type adb shell, after that type su. If the $ sign changed to # then you are rooted. In that case get some other root manager app such as superuser. If it says su no such file or directory then you're not rooted.
[Transformer TF300T General] szczotka75:
First, sory for my english, i know that i dont have root, i have checked adb shell and with rootchecker etc. But, for the first tim since 2 months, sine i bought this piece of **** goclever R76.1 i can see supersu icon on this tablet after the root proces. No other program like unlock root, zhuodashi or "miracle" root packs from many forums of the internet were even close to this. No one program even gone to the finish of the root proces. I spend many hours, days on the internet try to find something what could help me to get root on this device. Now i am happy even to see icon of SuperSU in the menu of this tablet. Motochopper gives me a little hope that it is posible to get root. I have xperia x8, last year i rooted this phone, installed cwm recovery, custom room but this bull**** r76.1 goclever have only two buttons home and power. The revovery mode i can get only by adb boot recovery, but then device is boot to screen where is green android with open belly and red exclamation mark, thats all, no menu, nothing. I try many combinations of buttons power and home but nothings happens. I think, motochopper is, for now, only hope for me to get root on this device. So if out there is somebody who can help me, i wll be very grateful and i will buy some beers in Cracow where i live and where i invate you ;)
[Transformer TF300T General] nerotNS:
Well, superSU only got installed because of an adb command it doesn't have to do much with root itself. What did the cmd show while you were rooting? Did it say anything special?

Tested in ME 301T 4.1.1 (version JRO03C.WW_epad-10.4.5.27.13-20130327) and it works great. Update on 4.2.1 (version JOP40D.WW_epad-10.6.1.15.4-20130419) root again everything is OK.

The only difference was that on 4.2.1. I had to move the motochopper file to root C: . In differnt case I had an adb missing error.

[Transformer TF300T General] f69m:
First step is to make adb work properly. When you have that working, motochopper should work too.

Did you enable adb debugging in the debug settings?

There is lots of help on this in other threads. Do a little search. ;)
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
Like he said get adb working. To test, plug up your device, bring up a command window, and type adb devices. If you get a serial number or some identifier returned to you, you're ready to root. If not, keep troubleshooting.

[Transformer TF300T General] palswim:
This also helped me troubleshoot and fix my TF201 root problems. It appears that after I updated and tried to restore my root, RootKeeper fragged my permissions on a pre-existing su binary in /system/bin, making things not work correctly. I overwrote the su binary and altered the permissions (chmod 6755 /system/bin/su) and now SuperSU works for me!
[Transformer TF300T General] FireStarter88:

Yesterday i just update to android 4.2 and couldn't find a way to root it again!

This methods works for Asus TF-700 4.2.1
[Transformer TF300T General] Morlok8k:
exactly.

platform=`uname`
if [ $(uname -p) = 'powerpc' ]; then
echo "[-] PowerPC is not supported."
exit 1
fi

if [ "$platform" = 'Darwin' ]; then
adb="./adb.osx"
version="OS X"
else
adb="./adb.linux"
version="Linux"
fi

this code in the script determines Mac or Linux, and also makes sure it doesn't run on powerpc computers.

then it tells the script to use either the "adb.osx" or "adb.linux" executable. (located in the motochopper folder)

if you installed adb, and don't want to use the provided files, then you should delete the above code and replace it all with the following:

adb="adb"

Have you tried suggestion post# 322?? if nothing works, then I suggest that you reflash the OS to clean out all the old/corrupted su binary files, then try again with moto chopper tool.

Edit: give this a try:

In the directory you ran motochopper from type the following commands

adb shell

cd /system/xbin

./su

mount -o rw,remount /system

cd /system/bin

mv su su2

I should have something "success".

If I root my tablet using the software that you have suggested, is it possible to reset it completely? I am concerned about not being able to return it to ASUS if it breaks.
[Transformer TF300T General] :
Yes, so long as the tablet is functional enough to do a factory reset (for asus, you can boot into recovery by holding power and volume down before boot and select factory reset option)

This will entirely remove root and I believe Asus recovery even deletes the SD card etc too
