Hey guys I want to root(only root) my tf300
I've been reading all day that u need to unlock bootloader and some that u don't have to unlock.
Does anyone know the best and easy way to only root tf300
I read something about debugfs but haven't tried it.
If u guys have a link for the root I'll appreciate it.
I'm on .30 version.

You do not need to unlock the boot loader to root.
I used the app in the following thread to root and am also on .30...

Yes. You need to have a PC. It is to be done in recovery mode IIRC.
Good luck with the rooting.

Sadly a PC is required with this method, but after reading all the root threads on here, I decided it was the easiest method and worked a treat for many
Just don't make the same error I did... don't connect the tablet to the dock and then USB on the dock to the PC, use the use charging cable supplied with the charger and connect the tablet to the PC via it, otherwise Windows wont see it...
Make sure you have the drivers installed too!
OK but how exactly u do this...I already downloaded the zip file on PC and pluged tablet...it installed drivers but last one ...says waiting for input and I got some options saying 1.locate and install driver
2.ask me again later 3. Don't show this message again
I click #1
Now what?

It said I had to restart computer so it could update this setting...where do I unzip/run the zip file?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Best to read the full thread I linked to, but make sure you have USB debugging enabled on the tf300 under developer options in settings...
From what I remember, I just unzipped the downloaded file to a folder, opened the folder and ran the .bat and it did the rest.
To get the correct drivers installed, I just installed Asus sync from the Asus support site, but make sure it is not running when you run the .bat.
I had the same issue, I think I installed the Android Development Kit and rebooted a couple times and it just decided to work after that. Soo, hope that helps?

Just did it, with the newest version from his skydrive account.
The only thing, I had to change USB mode from drive to camera-something in order for the ADB to detect the device..
My only reason to do it, was to get:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25286407
and I must say it's like a totally new device... Finally I can use the browser on "heavy" sites without ANR's..
Got it root..thank guys!!!

Long story short, it makes the stock browser a lot faster, by using ram as cache instead of the disk.

Its not hard at all . Just download it and put the folder in the root of your harddrive .
I'm just having problems with the Samsung drivers and wondering if I have to flash back to stock before I can install drivers.

Yeah, just download it... It's less than 30MB. Make your instal path as short as possible. Try adb devices to test if you have it set up right and it sees your phone.

Agreed. Things are far more complex than they were in the early days. It would be a long road. Rooting is the easy part

I disagree. It took an act of Congress to get root and install a new ROM just 8 months ago. ****'s cake now.
Well I went through a little time being nervous too but I read and read and just did it. Never asked 1 question. Still rarely do. I'm just saying if this is how the journey is starting it's gonna be long.

Doesn't matter for achieving root. That doesn't come into play until your flashing recovery/ROM/kernel.

Well it's mainly because most of the root procedures include flashing a new recovery/ROM. The idea of rooting in itself isn't device specific. It's simply adding the su binaries to the ROM.
I don't know what Hboot is and i don't know if i have 32a or 32b. I have like 250 mb of memory I think, I read somewhere that 32b has 192? I dunno.
My baseband is 62.50SJ.20.17u_2.22.28.25
Kernel 2.6.32.9-g93b855e
build number 3.56.531.1.cl300801 release keys
How do I know if i have the correct USB drivers installed?:
You NEED to put your phone on USB Debugging mode
You NEED to install make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed
Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card.
If you still can't get something to run, try doing it in recovery mode.
I know I can mount my sd card when I use usb, but does that mean the usb drivers are installed?
Do u have sdk installed on your PC?
Sent from my Dream/Sapphire using XDA Premium App
I have SDK installed on my pc, but I don't know how to use it.
Well I used that oneclick root and it worked. niiice, although when I go to emulator and type SU nothing happens, but when the program did the root test, it said it was rooted. so I don'tk now
I am not sure on even how to get into any mode after phone is shut off. I want to try installing some roms, but obviously I need radio and spl to install. I don't know how to do that with the MT3G
When u open terminal u get
$
When u type su u should get a new line with
#
Does this happen?
Read the stickies at the top of this general section. U will find all the info u can handle on fastboot,adb,sdk and so on

Yes i got SU I had to restart the phone to get it to engage.
Got my atrix today. Still tryna get used to a 4 inch screen. Havent rooted yet (usually root my devices the second they get there first charge) but seems as if everything is beta rite now. Question though, would the updated motoblur launcher work without root? Like sidload the apk?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
use gingerbreak to root and the launcher probably wont work, havnt seen anyone mention it anyway
No you cant sideload apps out of the box. You first need to root with gingerbreak method and then use the gladenable script to enable sideloading.

I was thinking of using the side loading wonder machine. And to root,dont I have to rsd sbf 1.8.3 first? Anyways,thanks for the answers

Congrats! Ateix is a great device. Easiest way to install Nonmarket apps is to go to Android store n purchase "Non Market apps Enabler" created by fellow member here. Only costs 1 dollar somethn. Enables the checkbox n options to enable non market app installs. Works instantly. No side loading n all that needed. Saves a ton of Time n hassle. I got it n was installing non market apps instantly with it!
If its a UK spec one, you can side load without doing anything... Otherwise rooting will be required

Yes it was a mistake.

But I would like to keep it... it also won't download... I bought it used... do you guys think it was rooted once with an unlock bootloader?... would this happen if someone try to get it back stock to resell??? I don't know...

Is it the stock rom? Check under the about tablet. If it has root then You might need to download the g apps zip from here then install that through CWM. If not you can just search for the APK and get it online somewhere.

No mistake. It's a great tab. If used, read up and return it to stock condition. Or load a ROM from the dev section. You'll get the market back.
Thanks... that's what I was planning.. get a custom rom, I for sure know this will fix it... I'm confuse on how to set up my laptop with sdk.... I seen instructions that are pretty straight forward... but afraid I might mess up my laptop or the tablet
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I hardly think it's a mistake just because you have to do a little work. Just means you'll like it more later on.
I don't think the tab is rooted... there's no superuser... plus the recovery has these options only... reboot, update from USB, factory reset, clear cache... something like that... just confuse on my after factory reset in recovery I still don't have market... ill upload a picture of all the app that's preinstall after factory reset in recovery...

I think the first thing you should do is a factory reset. If that doesn't get your Market back then flash the stock images from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049485
After you get the stock images on there then you can think about rooting and custom ROMs if you want to but if stock does what you want then just stick there at the moment.
Thanks, I'm not familiar with sdk adb and all the command thing in second post in the link you provide burd... but give me 24hrs to figure this... I might need help later...

Here is a guide I used when I wanted to flash the US images on my UK Xoom. The guide will also get you to root but you don't have to go that far if you don't want to.
Now, the commands will all be the same but the guide may be a bit out of date with image names and such as it's from February. Make sure you read everything and if you are planning to root/flash custom ROMs DO NOT relock your bootloader.
Edit: changed guide URL to newer one provided by okantomi

I don't think it's a mistake as long as you got a good deal on it.
$280.... got it off of Craigslist... they were old nice people that speak little english... he said he let his friend factory reset it... I bet my tablet was unlock and rooted once or he had someone with little knowledge to attempt the procedure to get it back stock so he can resell it... oh well its my problem now... I will fix it...

I have this app called "connectbot" that installed for SSH and telnet. Well I found that it has another option to use the local command prompt. A lot of the commands work. Even netstat, but when I try to go down to root level it says access denied! I figure its because I am not root admin, so I my questions are;
Is there a built in command line prompt built into the note 10.1 and all other droid devices? If there is how do I access it?
Also with the current command prompt I have access to or the installed cmd that I dont know how to get access too, is there a way I can become root admin so I can rename folders or change directories so maybe I can install apps to my sd micro card or use the ps3 controller using sixaxis with out flashing the rom on here or installing anything, but just maybe make a script or yse commands to become admin?
Thanks for all your help in advance
Thanks,

The reason I liked the ExynosAbuse way is that it's so clean and simple. No flashing things or installing CWM. I know it's a very special case (and not even the main reason for the app), but still...
I found the new bootloaders on the latest JB release give you a custom status and raise the flash counter to 1 if you have used the exynos exploit to gain root.
Not good if you have an allshare cast dongle as it needs "official" status to work...
Gaining root through CWM, using triangleaway and then reflashing stock recovery left me with with no raised flash counter and an "official" status.... Even after using Mobile ODIN to upgrade to the latest German or Arab Emirates JB.
