Yes you can use that method. I used the files/instructions in that thread to install Ubuntu before, but I didn't think it was very good in vnc so deleted it.

Adb ON the transformer

Was playing with the terminal emulator and noticed that the adb commands you could use in linux seem to work on the transformer! So I connected my evo 3d to it and typed adb devices and it didn't see my phone... do I need root? would be wicked cool if I could use adb from the tab then every time I want to flash a kernel I could use it instead of pulling out my M18x.

you need to install the asus suite for it to work.
Install it on what?

My bad, missed read the post. Though you were trying to get ADB to work for TF to PC. I now see what you're talking about.
I don't think kernel can be install using terminal anyway.

Help a Linux noob?

So ever since I lost root on Christmas day, literally got the update that broke razorclaw root about an hour after I rooted , I've been reading and searching and trying and reading some more.
Finally I'm admitting defeat. I am just unable to accomplish rooting my tf101 using vipermod on my Ubuntu machine. I'm not great at Linux and so afraid of messing up my tf.
So my question is this, is there anyone really patient and know Linux very well that can walk me through rooting using vipermod on Ubuntu?

Just to add ... I'm not real dumb. With suggestions and a little help I can find my way around.
I just printed out how to get advanced working on Ubuntu so I'll try to follow this tutorial tonight and hope I have better luck

Well now adb can see the transformer!
Does vipermod still work after the latest update fix?

Yes: Option 1 if on ICS Option 3 if on HC
Let me know if it works so I can stop searching for an alternative for your MAC.

I've made an easy one-click root for it called PERI. The link is in my signature, just download the .zip file, read the readme, connect your TF and run the .bat file. It's very simple http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681155
Thank you, i'll test it.

No pc for rooting?

Now before you all go and say im stupid and should read other comments before making a post
All i want to know is is there a way of installing cwm without the use of a computer as ive already unlocked the bootloader and now cant go any further due to the need of fastboot.
Thanks for the comments.

PC is recommend because are in control, but you could use an app like ROM manager to install recovery.

I hear you. That's why I recommend a PC because you are in ultimate control, but ROM manager is supposed to be intelligent enough to know what you're running and install the proper recovery... supposed to be honestly I've installed it but not used it for that, so I can't speak from experience.

fastboot can brick a tablet, too.
Rom Manager bricks it, cause it has not the right CWM for tf300. Use gomanager and flash TWRP.
I agree any type of flashing can brick it. I just like the PC because I depend on myself instead of an app. I've not tried twrp app but have read good things about it.

Typically no success for me lol, goomanager cant find the recovery for my device?
Twrp was pulled from goo manager because of the 2 different versions - one for ics loader and one for jb loader. Since it may not be able to tell what boot loader you have twrp was pulled off.

You can go here. http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/97 and there is a method to install twrp using terminal. Follow the directions in the link.

As I can remember Rom Manager shows you the wrong kernel, so you shouldn't use it - I can just recommend you Fastboot, it's how I did it and it's pretty easy (just watch the Vid in the Hydro Jb-Rom )

Looking to root

I've rooted all of my phones since the OG Evo on sprint......but when it comes to this tablet I'm at a loss and not sure where to begin. I'm running the most current firmware. Please someone point me in the right direction. I do not have a computer anymore. I rooted my s3 without one so I'm assuming it's possible with the asus .

Sorry mate, I think you're out of luck. You need a pc to root the TF300T. You'll have to wait until you can get your hands on a pc... or if Chainfire starts developing for the TF300T. If Only.
