[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackJava:
Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and hopefully I post in the right place. I having problem with rooting my TF300.

Tablet: Asus Transformer TF300

Android Version: 4.2.1

Firmware: 10.6.1.27.5

I have try to used the Motochopper rooter, but it does not work. Is there anyway I can root my android devices?

Thank you so much everybody
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lgrootnoob:
I think that what you would be looking for is to first downgrade the firmware using an official asus update tool.

then root.

Usually you can find root methods by entering your device name in the search for devices box and then look through the forums for root methods.

If my advice is of no use and tf300 means tf300t

then go here

Have you tried adb & a PC?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Brandonrz:
Why didn't you include hyperdrive? And the other 2 roms? And nice thread.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
I only included what I personally tried so I could say I KNOW IT WORKS. But you are right, I should add the other threads to the ROMs for others to try. Thanks for the correction!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Brandonrz:
Lol, np. I'm pretty sure you would know if any of those roms don't work. The genral section, yes I ment general, would be blown up with nubs saying. "Halp plz, phone no turn on." Haha

ive been trying to root with kingo for about 3 days and still no root help me please!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] aaa3aaa:
if the SS have password before launch would be better~~
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
-I went to kingo site (Google it, no kingo links allowed on XDA) and downloaded their program (to put on your desktop)

- install kingo to your pc

-follow instructions in kingo app

-make sure you have (unknown sources) checked in SECURITY

-make sure you have (usb debugging) checked in DEVELOPER OPTIONS

-I set my display to not time out for 10 minutes after I failed to root the first three times with kingo thinking maybe the screen timing out was causing an issue, the fourth time was flawless (not sure if the display timeout was it or not)..

try these steps, let me know how it works out!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] eastside770:
I really think it's my PC. It won't install all of the drivers. I plug it up and kingo tries to connect does sometimes and sometimes it don't.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
Try going to Control Panel > Pograms find all Samsumg drivers and uninstall them, and try Kingo again.

If that still doesn't work, read through THIS forum:

Where do you find developer options on the vzw note 3?

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Xirix12:
I don't know why but this doesn't seem EASY to me. I am so used to ADB and ODIN to root. The other methods seem easier to me because I download the files and run what I need (GS4, Note2, Nexus, and Nexus 7). Now files need to be Googled and downloaded separately.

I never have problems with driver I usually manually make my pc find and install them. I need to root so I can stop using my S4 and sell it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
You from Yuma? I'm in the Foothills! This was super easy for me... Hardest part was I had to run Kingo three times before my Note 3 would successfully ROOT. The whole kingo app was basically clicking OK over and over and over..

The step by step in the OP is exactly what I followed, and I didn't know ANYTHING about flashing a rom this way OR safe strap... I'm used to downloading the rom, kernel, and add-ons and flashing them in TWRP...no rom slots, no creating or activating roms. Even as clueless as I was, these step by steps walked me right through the entire process without a hitch (except the Kingo part)...

What part are you getting stuck on? The only file you NEED to Google is the Kingo app because XDA won't allow the link... compared to pushing via adb, line by line commands and the old school way, this is a breeze!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Xirix12:
Yea, Pacific and 24th. I didn't even notice that just. I just got home from work and said "I need to get root tonight!". I am not really getting stuck since I haven't even started. I am going to try this tonight. Thanks for the help and support. Also, good to know you're just down the street.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
Cool. Whole process took me less than 30 minutes.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Xirix12:
Yea it was actually VERY easy. I was just not sure or couldn't believe how easy it was. I am rooted and safe strapped. First time using safe strap and it seems very safe. Thanks

Edit: forgot to mention that Kingo said rooting failed. So I tried to unroot and it didn't work. I unplugged installed root checker. I was asked to grant root access and root checker confirmed that I had root access. Worked on the very first try even though it told me it didn't.

Also it installs SuperSu for you now so no need to look for it to install it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] G8orDroid:
It has always installed SuperSU. The purpose of flashing Chainfire's zip file is to overwrite the one that Kingo installs. Just in case there was something nefarious (sp?) going on with the one it installed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] MadFlava:
Is it safe to assume this doesn't interfere with Knox? If this was my personal phone I wouldn't care but it's my work phone so I need to make sure warranty stays intact.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] KOKJ:
Eh, it's not that big of a deal. I can be rooted, just can't load ROMs. I'll see if I can do something about it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
You can't get back to factory and unroot either, right? Is the rom in the stock slot the stock rom? If so I think you can factory reset through android recovery (warranty repair/replacement). .. I'll hit up Dutch to confirm. ..

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] KOKJ:
Of course I can. As I mentioned in my previous post, I tried to use Kies to restore it but it failed. So I ODIN'd back to a stock rom, then used Samsung Kies to restore and it worked. However, I still can't flash roms. I'll have no problem doing something about this phone.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] KOKJ:
Ok. So I received another phone today and tried all the same stuff. Another fail. I'm re-downloading everything... what a mess. I've never had this much trouble. Even flashing Windows Mobile 5.5 way back when wasn't this bad! lol

Need Help Quick!

Been at this ALL DAY and I need my phone to work asap!

I think procedures the original poster noted will fix my problem (or not), but the trouble I have is my Note 3 (SM-N900V) will only go into Download Mode. I can't get into my phone to set it to Debugging Mode.

I tried to root using root-de-la-vegas via Odis3.09 and ended up with what I'll call a soft brick?

I also tried Kies with no luck.

How can I get out of this mess?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] KOKJ:
You need to recover by using ODIN again and try a stock download.

Download this stock software: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319196106

Pull your battery.

Reinstall your battery.

Launch ODIN.

Plug your phone into your USB cable and make sure a COM port shows up.

Put the file you downloaded above into the AP slot in ODIN and change nothing else.

Click START.

Pray it finished.

Weird Issue

So, I was rooted, safestrapped and flashed to JB. Then ran out of space trying to update apps. So backed up using titanium pro, created a new slot with max space in safestrap, flashed the JB I had already downloaded and rebooted. Phone boots up, safestrap screen shows, then black screen with nothing else happening. Ok, that's odd I thought. I pulled the battery, restarted, same thing. No bueno. So I go back in to safestrap and set the boot back to slot 1, the working JB slot. Same thing. Uh-oh. Back in to safestrap, set the Factory slot to be the active. Almost the same result, except I don't even get the safestrap window. Just black screen.

No panic yet, something just got corrupted. Crack open Odin and do a full restore. Everything comes up like it just came out of the box. I then root via Kingo, fresh downloads of everything, install Chanfire, safestrap, restart...

black screen and nothing else.

I figured it had locked up, but while I'm searching for an answer I look down and see that I'm at the safestrap recovery screen, 20 minutes after I powered up the phone. At that point I try to flash to JB, and it just sits and sits and sits. I restart at that point and Odin it back to stock. Even at stock this is an amazing phone, but with the latest updates my battery life is dreadful, so I'd like to get back to JB or another ROM. Any ideas what may be causing this to occur? Thanks in advance!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
There's another user that experienced similar issues flashing roms. I'm waiting to hear what he did to finally get up and running.

Are you using SafeStrap 3.65?

Notorious 3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jrmckinn:
Yes, 3.65. I'm going to take another shot with a brand new SD card to see if that helps. The one that's in there now is a bit long in tooth and on the smaller side. Amazon should be delivering tonight.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] KOKJ:
If you ODIN'd back to a stock software, then followed the proper steps, then man. Is your USB cable bad that you transfer the files to your phone?

I downloaded multiple ROMs, checked all MD5 checksums, downloaded and loaded SafeStrap multiple times, everything was appearing fine until I'd create the ROM slots, load the ROM, reboot and nothing. I'd have to pull the battery, go into recovery and select the stock rom slot to boot up. I'm really not sure what my issue was. I was able to successfully install the JellyBeans ROM but nothing else yet.

On every ROM I try to load now, it says "Unable to mount internal storage." Very odd, but JellyBeans loaded just fine.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jrmckinn:
That would be a possibility, except that the initial problem began after I had already rooted and installed a new rom. I hadn't connected to anything when the problem started. Great suggestion though. Bad cables can create ridiculous problems.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] KOKJ:
Hey az_biker,

I was able to successfully load JellyBeans ROM. But, on every other ROM I try to load now, it says "Unable to mount internal storage." Very odd, but JellyBeans loaded just fine.

At this point, Dutch is gonna be your best bet, I've exhausted my small amount of knowledge already :D

Notorious 3
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] DutchDogg54:
Honestly, I'm pretty confused by your whole situation as well but let me ask you this - When you flashed Jellybeans you must have created a clean slot and installed to it since it was the first rom you installed. When you are trying to install others are you creating new slots to install them on or are you trying to install to the same slot as jellybeans was on?

If you can't get new slots to work you might be able to use the same slot jellybeans is on or try using the stock slot. Beyond those things, I really don't know what else you could try.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bftb0:
Does this use up all remaining free (filesystem) storage on mmcblk0p25, or is it just a really big slot with some free space still left in the host filesytem?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] KOKJ:
I created a slot on slot 1, and installed Jellybeans ROM. I tried loading others on slot 2 with no success. I can load Jellybeans ROM on slot 2, but no other ROM on any other slot. So, I'm only able to install Jellybeans ROM on all slots, but nothing else on any slots. I'm getting an error that says "failure to mount internal memory." Jellybeans doesn't give me that error.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] KOKJ:
I've tried again loading various ROMs on various slots and I'm not getting the same "failure to mount internal memory" message, but ROM installations are failing within seconds of starting, without any real message but only saying they were successful.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
I'm working with another guy that is having issues flashing roms to a specific rom slot, if we come up with anything, I'll get at you!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] KOKJ:
Meant to tell you, I found the problem. I was validating the MD5 on the files after they were downloaded to my PC. However, I never checked them after I transferred them to the handset. Either my cable has gone bad, or my USB controller for the USB port I've been using is acting up, but I transferred them to my handset from my primary computer, checked the MD5 and it failed. I used another machine and transferred the files to my handset and validated MD5 successfully and was able to load all the ROMs.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
So the MD5 got corrupted somehow between the transfer from PC to device? That's really weird, but I am GLAD you got it figured out!

Enjoy your freedom :D JI know you know about Beans, but in case you haven't heard of these roms; I suggest giving Baja, and Eclipse a try.

All three are really top notch Roms!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] KOKJ:
I've got both of those loaded up and have been comparing them all. Just need to decide on one. Thanks for your willingness to help, by the way.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] jrmckinn:
Got my new sd card in and attempted tried to start the process, but it seems I'm completely unable to root at all now. Kingo just constantly reports back Fail: NotSupport.

I'm having the same issues on my MJE Note 3. Nothing works at all. Are there any other methods at this time?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
If you can't root via Kingo, something else (not Kingo) is the issue. People are rooting with kingo, getting a failed root warning, then finding out they are actually rooted. If you have ROOT check, see if this is the case with you. If not, continue below:

Tell me your exact process for setting up to root:

- are you using the step by step instructions in the thread?

- Have you downloaded the correct files from the links?

- Did you uninstall pervious Samsung files before installing newest ones?

- Have you turned your PC anti-virus off and adj your display on time to 10 minutes?

Get back to me and let me know your status.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oconnell84:
So I received the phone on MJE so I skipped the ODIN Flash. I followed the instructions for Kingo. I used all stock cables (first multiple tries) with Windows 7 and vista. I had Kingo install the drivers as well as myself when that failed. I tried using 2 different machines with no anti-virus software. I used both USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports with both types of cables. I've truely tried each potential option to my knowledge.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
Does the PC see your device?

Does the Kingo app "see" your device? If so, how far do you get in the process?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oconnell84:
The PC does see the device and so does Kingo. In Kingo, It runs through the downloading of scripts, check root, d/l files, check root..NotSupport.

Thats about it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
D/L Root Checker and see if you actually have root. A few users have said when they couldn't get kingo to root, they actually HAD root even though Kingo said root failed.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oconnell84:
Already checked that.

Should I try Vroot since this is not working?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
While I've never tried vroot, you can certainly try it. Let me know either way if Vroot was successful for you.

You can still follow the rest of the steps after you get root if Vroot works. Good luck!

I have a sneaky suspicion that Vroot won't work since Kingo didn't Kingo is so basic if it fails, it's usually not the rooting method but the device, or the files needed to get to root), but I hope I'm, wrong!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oconnell84:
Should I flash MJE via ODIN to see if that fixes my problem?

---------- Post added at 05:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------

I ended up going with VROOT. This worked for rooting my MJE note 3. Once back and running I put phone into airplane mode and ran safestrap. I then installed Chains SU and all seems good now.

I put the phone into airplane to disable and Chinese crap from sending data.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
This is one of those times I love being wrong.. I am glad Vroot worked for you, odd how Kingo has issues with only certain devices.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] oconnell84:
It was very strange. I miss the old days when it took multiple files to achieve what a 1-click does now. Seemed safer back then. Oh well. Thanks for the support!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Frank Westlake:
Applications can ignore airplane mode so check before you use an application in an aircraft.

Had to use vroot, Kingo didnt work. Got it on the first time with vroot. Then followed the rest of the steps. Now I have superSu.. all is well. Thanks for the info. I feel the same way oconnell84 does. I liked the multi-step processes with many files to root. Seemed more secure and definately more entertaining.

When i go into supersu it asks if I should have it try to disable knox. I usually cancel. I was wondering if accepting would have and side effects, or at least get rid of that popup
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
Of the many times I've rooted with Kingo, when getting to the "Disable Knox" half the times I ignored it, the other half I chose "Disable Knox" and both ways resulted in Knox NOT being tripped.

Looks like I'll have to add a link to Vroot for those who Kingo doesn't work for...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Nicaragüense:
Also, might be worth mentioning that the PC has to have internet to fetch the kingo or vroot files. I was on a crappy connection, maybe that had something to do with Kingo not working.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Gvaz:
* * * ATTN: PRIOR to flashing a Rom built on MJE update, you should be running MJE (take OTA update or install MJE tar via Odin) then reroot via Kingo, install Safestrap * * *

But that's not true, I'm on cleanrom which is MJE but my baseband still shows M19 and I'm not having any major issues.

Well, other than I want to seriously increase my data install limit. I can only increase it to 4gb, default leaves me with just shy of 2gb free displayed in Storage.

I want like, the entire remaining internal storage of like 23gb. I have at least 10gb of apps i want to have all on here.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
It doesn't say it won't work, but it keeps 100's of bug posts due to old firmware from filling threads. Even you admit 'no major problems' which means you DO have issues.

Most ROM OPs suggest updating to MJE before flashing their MJE Rom as well...

To have your actual memory available for use, flash rom on Stock slot, delete any roms on slots 1-4.
