[Transformer TF300T General] :
By reading the instructions in this thread? What a ridiculous question.
[Transformer TF300T General] LostAlone:
This is exactly what I've been getting too.

It pushes the SuperSU apk over, but if you open it it says there's no binary.
[Transformer TF300T General] Nikware:
Just downgraded my Me301T to .26

Used Motochopper, and "Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper" to make a backup.

(Free on the Market).

Upgraded to .29 and retored SU with Rootkeeper.

Now, I have the latest updade, and my Me301T is still Rooted.

:p :good:
[Transformer TF300T General] poboxy:
Can you please specify how you did it? And did you lose your data doing so?
[Transformer TF300T General] poboxy:
Strike that, did what you did and it worked lost some data but I don't care. Now I have root in .29 on my me301t.

:victory:
[Transformer TF300T General] nyr35blue:
I am late to the table with this but the same thing happens with me. It shows as FAIL when i watch the script run and it says rooting phone. I too get the SU binary not being installed error. My TF300T has the build that is mentioned as failing (10.6.1.27). But the difference is I tried it multiple times without success. Installed Root Checker and voodoo rootkeeper from the market and sure enough I am not rooted.
[Transformer TF300T General] Ch3vr0n:
i'm planning on getting the ME301T, should i update the firmware first and then root it or root it first > voodookeeper > update?
[Transformer TF300T General] nyr35blue:
Same thing here so Im hoping someone has an answer as well. failure root error during the script and no su binary nor can i get it installed and then opened.

Rooting TF300TL...

Rooting of Asus TF300TL with latest firmware 10.6.2.8 (JB-4.2.1) is not possible :crying: .

Downgrading to older firmware isn't possible too :crying: .

How to get Root ? Any hint would be warmly appreciated...

Thx!
[Transformer TF300T General] Daniol71:
There are a lot of tutorials around on how to root the TF300 on 4.2.1 and I think it should work with any firmware version as long as you're on 4.2.1. You'll have to Google or check on YouTube, I've found quite a few. The "downside" is that with those methods you have to unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, and then get root. This process removes all the data on your device :/

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------

Grrr, I'm so annoyed that I didn't find this method earlier!!

I haven't wanted to get rooted before because it basically factory resets the device. I know I can backup, but even with MyBackup Pro it doesn't always go as smooth as expected. From my experience with rooting my Galaxy Nexus not all my apps were restored and I lost some data. It also messed a bit with the settings of my device so yeah, it's a bit annoying. I've also been a bit scared to brick the tf300, I know most rooting methods today are quite safe and I've never bricked a device (almost when I tried installing a custom ROM on my old Xperia Ray but that's another story) but you never know. TODAY I found this thread, HOWEVER I'm on the firmware 10.6.1.27.1 where this exploit doesn't work anymore. Had I discovered this 2 or 3 days ago before I updated the firmware I would have root now!

Guess I'll be pushing off rooting for later this year :/

If anyone has a fail proof method for backing up data, where everything can be restored such as how far you got in a game etc. feel free to tell me :)
[Transformer TF300T General] gravis502:
Thank you so much, works perfect on tf300t 16gb 10.6.1.15.3
[Transformer TF300T General] fractiousg:
There is no perfect backup method without root.

However, I've had a very high success rate using Helium. It is a bit of work to restore on a new device (even with root), but as far as I know that is the only viable option.
[Transformer TF300T General] Daniol71:
Thanks, I'll try it out :)
[Transformer TF300T General] Daniol71:
Btw, does anyone know if unlocking the bootloader with ASUS unlock tool will stop you from receiving OTAs?

I know it voids your warranty but it also says in the End User License Agreement "The software of the Revised Product will no longer be deemed software of the Original Product and can not receive ASUS software updates.."

I know I can most likely download the software update online and apply through TWRP that's not my problem really. I just prefer receiving an OTA notification letting me know that there's an update rather than having to search online myself.

Edit: I have another question too. I've been Googling around for a while now but can't seem to find anything. When Asus releases a firmware update on their website, can I just download it and copy to my internal memory or SD card and then apply the update from TWRP?

This is how I've been working with my Galaxy Nexus:

Full unroot with SuperSU

Boot into custom recovery

Apply the update.zip

Apply the latest SuperSU.zip to remain rooted

Reboot

This has always worked, I have gotten up to latest version of 4.3 and kept root.

However the only thing I found about this for the TF300T suggest that this method would erase all my data. I don't know what to think.
[Transformer TF300T General] HypostaticOnion:
1) What its saying is that you can receive otas but its not considered official software because you're unlocked. Basically saying, no matter what, once you've unlocked its considered tampered and warranty is void.

2) It doesn't work quite the same way. The firmware they post can be applied through fastboot, and yes it will wipe data. There's a thread on how to upgrade firmware and such. Search for it in stickies

If I've helped, please hit the thanks button
[Transformer TF300T General] Daniol71:
Thanks, I've just rooted my TF300T and it all went really well. I guess I'll be applying the OTAs then and trying to maintain root with SuperSU Survival Mode or OTA Rootkeeper, don't know if it's the safest thing to do but seems like the best way to keep data.

Eventually I guess I'll be using custom ROMs but I think I'll wait until Asus releases 4.4 for the TF300T (if they ever do) because I'd really like to try that on tablet. Or I'll use a custom ROM built on 4.4 since it's bound to materialise faster than an Asus update. 4.3 didn't bring many changes to my Galaxy Nexus so I can live without it on my TF300T :P
[Transformer TF300T General] Saidin86:
I was wondering if someone could assist me with this issue. It appears that i have a broken root as far as i can tell but have gone over this thread and cant seem to fix it. I am running a TF201 which i have reset back to factory.

I ran the code listed below from post #73 but with no result

cd /system/usr/we-need-root
./su-backup
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp su-backup /system/xbin/su

I have Voodoo ota and it says its rooted. I downloaded a terminal emulator onto my device and and typed in all the commands as listed and get no errors. However when i run the motochopper again afterwords i still get the same error. My programs are being automatically denied root access.

It appears that i have a broken root based on what ive been reading but when i go in from adb shell, and type sysrw I get an error message saying "sysrw: not found"

results of "ls -l system/xbin/su"

---sr---wt root root 91980 2013-08-30 14:17 su

here is an image of motochopper when i run it

[Transformer TF300T General] Kockowan:
Exactly that has been the main advantage of Motochopper:

Rooting without unlocking the device by ASUS...

- It can be reversed...

- OTA- updates still work...

So: is there any development (and hope :fingers-crossed: ) getting root for TF300TL with 10.6.2.8 (JB-4.2.1) and up? May I help debugging or testing?
[Transformer TF300T General] clarkg:
I think our only hope is if Dan Rosenberg (@djrbliss) decides to do another with a newer exploit that hasn't been patched yet. From what I recall of his comments, this isn't very likely.
[Transformer TF300T General] Kockowan:
If downgrading to a ASUS-JB-4.1x version, applying this patch, using Rootkeeper and afterwards OTA-Updating:

Will it work, will it preserve root even in 4.2x versions after OTA-update?
[Transformer TF300T General] ziozoz:
Help help help PLEASE

Hey all,

This is my first time here and i really need your help guys...I have read the whoooole thread trying to find a way to root my Asus tf700 with the build number 10.6.1.14.10...but with no good results at all as you all know that motochooper has stopped rooting after the last OTA to 4.2.1 so i assume that a lot of people are waiting here for a new tool which i hope and i think that our professional developers are working on it now... but the main questions remains.... When can we find something easy like motochooper to root our Asus?? if you can give me the thread where i can read and find out because i have searched alot...

Im some how reluctant to unlock using V8 unlock tool from the Asus website, to be honest I do like to flash custom roms but I'm just afraid cuz this thing is really costy and I dont wanna waste my money lol ....

could anyone please show me a step by step way to flash a rom?? like first i should be unlocked, right? and then rooted and then install TWRP, right? but i need the RIGHT step by step way to do these steps....

Thank you guys
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
You cannot flash a ROM without unlocking. If you're that afraid of flashing ROMs, the unlock the bootloader and just flash recovery and root but continue to use stock ROM. I do that and it seems to work well.
[Transformer TF300T General] ziozoz:
Thanks man but need more guide and help

Thank u man... So I should do the following:-

. unlock with the official unlock tool from Asus website

. then install TWRP

. flash a custom ROM which is already rooted like CROMI X

Are the previous steps right??? I really need aan updated thread so that I can learn more and read....

Thanx again man for ur reply....
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
The first 2 steps definitely. I can't speak for any ROM as I run rooted stock. Be sure the version of twrp you flash matches the version of android you are running. 4.1 is jb and 4.2 is 4_2. You'll see that in the twrp file names.

stuck

Hi guys for some unknown reason I have decided to spend the day trying to root my TF201, it hasnt gone well. I get stuck at Daemon started successfully then nothing.

I dont know whether the ADB is working correctly, how can I check.

It seems like a very small file only 159kb is that correct?

The USB drivers that are installed when I first connected TF201 are not Asus ones particularly but I think generic Microsoft and they are 2006 [?] how can I get the correct needed drivers, the device is found and I can see into the folders so it is being found, just not the way it needs.

HOLD THE PRESSES,

its funny when you threaten something often enough it sometimes works, it turns out that even though windows was finding the device and giving me access to the folders it wasnt till I checked it in "devices and printers" and did some checking I discovered that the Asus composite ADB interface drivers didnt install correctly so once they had it all went quickly. thanks to all the thread writers that kept me busy today, it wasnt fun but it was successful

[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
Sounds right to me yes. If you don't want to flash an entire ROM, you can use twrp to flash root to your stock ROM. That's what I do, flash supersu.zip, but your suggestion will work too. Its just a matter of preference.

need help

i have the asus memo pad 10. when it was still running jellybean 4.1 i had it rooted using motchopper. after the 4.2 update i had apps telling me they would not work on a rooted device, and others telling me they would not work because my device was rooted. so it was inbetween i guess? so i reset to factory settings, downloaded motochopper, turned on debugging and unkown sources and clicked run.bat. so it says everything is good device found, installing ... etc. then failed. then i hit enter and my tablet resets. but it isnt rooted, what am i doing wrong? further investigation shows superuser is being installed but device is not being rooted.

"*rooting this make take a few moments

-failure

*cleaning up"

that is all it tells me and wen i hit enter after it is done it resets my tablet but it is not rooted. the original post says motochopper is verified to work on ME301T 4.2.1

also i reset my tablet again and flixter wont let me watch movies because it is "rooted" and root explorer says my device is not rooted. all i did was reset it, i didnt even try to root it yet.

Asus blocked moto on newer android versions so you might be doing it right and it still not work. That's all I can say as I've never used that device.

P.s. the new Xperia is also good
[Transformer TF300T General] clarkg:
Yes it works, I did it last night. OTA Rootkeeper does restore root after the update. You need to downgrade to 10.6.1.15.3 (the last one that the exploit worked for) which is still available for download from the Asus site.

Thanks for answering, but I own an ASUS TF300TL (4G), so there is no old version 10.6.1.15.3:

You should probably go back to V10.6.2.4 then. Released about the same time as mine, and before they started patching the exploit that motochopper uses.

it installed supersu btw.

one thing to note is that this program roots by doing exploits that we have no idea what they are. so maybe they could insert some malware into the device?.

but on addictivetips.com there's an article about it so i think it's good.
[Transformer TF300T General] Kockowan:

Shure, but this doubt regards to all similar tools and even to custom roms also, isn't it?

And: If using exploits for rooting, the manufactors didn't make a great job in fixing these issues in their firmware...

That is odd. I have delayed updating as I thought I would lose root and Motochopper was now dud. Kingo seemed the answer.

Your post is off topic, and it's tough to follow you exactly, but it sounds like you are on the ICS firmware. No, you cannot and should not flash any JB ROM over the ICS firmware. You may be using the wrong bootloader unlocker. The versions changed with JB. I believe you need v.07 for ICS unlock and v.08 for JB. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong, it might be 0.7 for JB and 0.8 for 4.2).

Unlock bootloader FIRST, then, if you're going to use a JB 4.2.1 ROM, you need to update your firmware. There are several other threads here to assist with that. *This* thread is about re-rooting using Motochopper (which has only worked sporadically on the JB firmware, and not for me).
