So my transformer is on the way. While i do plan to play with it stock first, i would love to know if there is a noob friendly tutorial to rooting this beast.
While im not a noob in rooting my phone, i am a total noob with tablets. A link to a comprehensive tutorial would be lovely.
I appreciate any help guys

There are a lot of tutorials written here - for all possibilities - latest is the nachoroot method and I did write a guide as well. Use search
Nachoroot method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427838
pjfriend's method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417006
If you run in to problems with either of them (pjfriend's method worked for me yesterday running 8.6.5.21 on a TF101 B80 model transformer), check the threads because most problems have occurred before and have been addressed.
I appreciate it guys. Just waiting for it to get here.

I just got my wifi only Xoom today. I also have a Motorola Atrix, which is rooted and running a custom rom. I was reading on here about rooting and kernels and other things and I didn't understand it. Can someone please help me understand the differences between the Xoom tablet and an android phone. Thanks

They are practically the same, but methods for rooting devices change per device. The Xoom requires a little extra work.
Do you have the JDK and Android Development Kit installed on your PC?
Are you comfortable with command lines?
Can you afford to purchase another Xoom if you brick this one?

Here, on a golden platter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125714
I think there are essentially 3 root methods:
1) pure root method -linked above
2) nvflash
3)flash custom rom via CWM
The pure root method has the advantage that you can keep your data and the stock rom and also add CWM if you like.
nvflash is nice because it is unbrickable, so you can recover if you screw up. You should be able to recover from mistakes using other methods as well.
The custom rom via gingerbreak/CWM work too.
None of them are any harder/easier than the others. Adding drivers might add some complexity, but it isn't rocket science.You could try all three and then unroot to see which one you like better.
I would recommend installing ADB too since it's quite useful.
it also depends on which firmware version your on as there are different root methods for different firmware versions. also just use the browser on your TF to come on to xda...imo it's better then the app and the search function works.
there actually is a search method on the app i found, quite clumsy though in extras.

yes but it searches the entire xda forums whereas the browser searches the forum you are specifically in.
I used nvflash as it was the most point and click method. I did the adb style root on my last transformer and all went well but it seemed more likely to accidentally skip a step. Whatever you do just follow the steps closey and when you are done you can flash to your heart's content.

This should be the best Root-for-Dummies:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/342845-tool-nvflash-gui-tool-v11/
Notes:
* I havenot personally use it yet.
* The built-in stock-Rom is WW-version. An easy fix if you can find/replace with the US-version (nvflash version).
I tried the link at top but none of the links on that page worked. The boot.img file was broken for me. Can't mount or burn. I really have no idea what I am doing wrong. No idea where to get boot.bat either. I read through entire thread and wasted half my day. Going to research nvflash method now.

Does anyone know if with the ICS update you can still root your device? I had to get mine replaced by best buy under warranty because of touchscreen issues and I would like to root it, but I already did the ICS update before I could root it. Shoot me if you must, but does anyone know if any of the tools still work?
u can use vipermod to root ics .

I will search on XDA for that. Thank you!
there's a very simple root process, look on the General page I believe, if not check Development man its there and its labeled something very obvious with ICS in the title I believe
Its actually labeled [ROOT] TF101 ICS from OTA

I have a question about my galaxy s3 sch-i535 model from Verizon Wireless. I have understood that it looks easiest to do this process via windows, and I have messaged and inquired with many ppl about the best way to complete this process using a mac. Is there a guide I can use to do this? I've used windows computers before to do this and have eooted a motorola bionic but I havent been successful in finding a guide for doing this. Any help would greatly be appreciated (I actually even searched this site or tried to at least). Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you want you can send me a email at [email protected] . Thanks again!

For one your in the wrong section my good ol fellow and 2 the rooting boot loader unlock procedure only works on windows. I too use Mac. So here is how to solve the issue. Do it from a windows PC or get VMWare or Parallels and run a virtual machine of windows on your Mac. Note windows installation disk, .IMG is not included. Good luck.

Yes, there are guides out there to root your S3 from a Mac. Can you search this site? Yes, you can. Can you search using the all mighty Google? No, you cannot. Please utilize ALL of your available, and free resources before posting.
Here's your answer; all of these links by searching "rooting S3 mac" on Google and youtube

Unfortunately you can't root with CASUAL on jelly bean. If on 4.1.1 OTA you have to use ODIN, unless they get Heimdall working.

So after many weeks I know that my phone is vulnerable to the Mempodroid root. I've been given a link to the forum for all that stuff. Just asking would it be possible for me to root my phone using the Asus transporter Mempodroid root exploit? If it's not can someone give me instructions on how to root this phone. I'm a noob at the android stuff, had a iPhone for so many years xD
