[Q] SuperOneClick unrootable?

Okay, so i come from the Nexus One now having the T-Mobile G2X which is a pretty good phone and already some roots have came out which is great since i could try to back up all my apps from my Nexus One to my new T-Mobile G2X.
Okay, i know the the Universal Androot has the ability to root and unroot your phone with a simple touch of just one button WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader or even restarting
(If you guys didnt know about this, click here to learn more)
Okay, so i heard there is a new app called "SuperOneClick" but im not sure if it works for the T-Mobile G2X (Yes, i know there is something called Google and yes i googled it but i get like 20 different answers)
So im asking this:
Is this "SuperOneClick" compatible with the T-Mobile G2X?
Will it be able to root AND unroot my phone with one touch? (Like the Universal Androot)
Also, there are many threads about this and i cant find the original thread but i know its from this forum, can someone post a link to the thread about this "SuperOneClick" or maybe a thread that tells you how to root the T-Mobile G2X using the "SuperOneClick"?
Thanks!

Searched up and people had more errors than thanks.
Might as well wait till someone makes a video on how to root.

Rooting eee Pad TF101G 8.6.6.15 (HC 3.2.1) [NOT A HOWTO]

THIS THREAD DOES NOT TELL YOU HOW TO ROOT YOUR DEVICE, but rather that a root does not exist for this build yet
Long time lurker, first time poster. So please be gentle.
After spending the better part of a few hours searching for a way to root my brand spanking new eee Pad Transformer TF101G, i've found that there IS no simple way to root it (just yet).
This thread is to prevent others from going on the same wild goose chase I did
Product details:
Name: Asus eee Pad Transformer TF101G
Android ver: HC 3.2.1
Build: HTK75.TW_epad-8.6.6.15-20110930 (shipped direct from Taiwan, so Taiwanese build)
There are a few threads in XDA (well, at least one) that refer people to the "Universal Root Toolkit v7.1" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185104) thread specifically for 8.6.6.15, but this is wrong. This thread is only for 8.6.5.x, so dont bother.
The silver lining here, for those of your brave enough, is that the "Android Revolution HD" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245892) thread claims to work on 8.6.6.15, and it comes with su/root. But personally, id rather keep my stock ROM and just get root.
EDIT: Not sure if you require root to flash a ROM, if this is the case then I guess we are our of luck... can someone clarify please?
EDIT: There are many threads that mention B70 or B80 or similar. I assumed this was part of the build number and that mine was not one of these builds. In another thread I saw this is actually the first few characters of the serial number. So for those who, like me, found that a lot of the posters in other threads simply assumed this as common knowledge; then I hope this thread clears it up a little.
BTW, my device is a B90. Because of the above revelation, this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1241380) and this page (http://androidroot.mobi/2011/08/26/b70-and-beyond/) are now relevant to me.
So, the waiting begins...
You can make 100 thread like this and someone will still post asking about rooting their B70-1/2+ TF
I have the same model and firmware. The TF101G 3G enabled models may be a special case since they use a third book key (SBK3).
Waiting patiently.
Let me know If I can can be of any assistance in finding a solution.
I have a rooted HTC phone and miss the additional functionality on my tab .
Here here, same setup as you man...
Lets hope theres a solution pronto!!
Cheers for now

Unlocking, Rooting, and ROM's question
I'm new with Tablets forgive me if this is a stupid question but is there possably any way to use one program to unlock and root or just root the Asus TF300T without messing with the ROM on version 4.2.1 android jelly bean? The reason I ask is bc I'm use to doing things and rooting on my droid razr and for that all you need is razr utility. So basically is there a utility out there or wil there be one in the future for my Asus TF300T like something thats simple and your rooted? please somebody let me know it I'm dieing to get this TF rooted.

[Q] So now we have root, is unlock up for grasp?

Hi all,
Now we have root on locked devices (all creds to Morlok8k, I was wondering if an alternative to the Asus unlock tool is for grasp? I'm not a dev in any sense, but one of the unfortunate RMA-and-unable-to-unlock-bootloader guys.
So what do you guys think? Is it possible? I know Dan Rosenberg did the magic for a couple of Moto devices, and I would eternally grateful if I would be able to custom flash my TF300 which I love so dearly. :fingers-crossed:

Unlikely for JB boot loader and above. Same reason we cannot downgrade back to ICS boot loader.
Might be possible for ICS boot loaders, but not sure a dev is interested enough to put in the work.
Sorry, don't get your hopes up!
Though I like to be surprised too.

Yeah, I know... But we all know the magic that happens on XDA. "Not possible" is simply not part of their vocabulary :laugh: I guess we just have to wait and see! I'm sure all those Moto-users didnt' think they would be unlocked at all :victory:
I was pretty sure I wouldn't be rooting my tf300 any time soon and yet, here we are!
There is a thread in the development section where lots of very talented developers pulled apart the ASUS unlocker app to try to do what you propose. Unfortunately, they all came to the same conclusion. It's just not gonna happen. If someone like the guy who unlocked the Motorola bootloaders were to try, there would be a chance, but he's, like, one in a billion.
I would love to see this happen even though I'm already unlocked, just because. But I wouldn't hold my breath.

Unfortunately, I'm not in the US, so I'm out of luck. But there's good news too! I've actually am in touch with Dan Rosenberg at the moment :laugh:
He asked me through PM what was up with the Asus bootloader. I've send him the following e-mail:
Hey Dan,
Thanks for your reply concerning the Asus unlock bootloader tool. I'm very grateful to get your attention, since you are truely legendary within the scene (and I'm not even a dev myself ) The issue that they have is that all TF300's returning from RMA are not unlockable anymore. I've send mine in for 3 times to have this issue solved (first it returned without SN inserted, next time I couldn't do OTA update / unlock, same goes for it now).
There are numerous threads on XDA where people are complaining that they can't unlock. Any contact with Asus about this is clear: we are not supporting the unlock tool. What the unlock tool does is send the proc ID + SN to the servers of Asus (encrypted) and the unlock code will be returned. So far no one has been able to bypass this in any way (mostly because of the heavy encryption used, people say it "can't be done". But then again, I never thought I would be able to root my locked tablet until your fantastic tool came along.
Thanks for your time, I know there would be a lot of happy people out there to be able to custom rom their tablet.
I hope you can help us out. If there's anything I can do (eg: borrow you my locked tab), I'd be happy to. I know how frustrating this is (including Asus attitude), and if I in some way can help people out, I'd be happy to have my share in it.
Thanks again,
Kind regards
Fingers crossed that he might be up for the challenge! Indeed he's one in a billion.
Got a response from Dan:
I'd be happy to take a look at your bootloader, but I can't make any
promises, since it's entirely possible Asus has implemented the unlock
process in a cryptographically strong way that is impossible to bypass.
Would you be able to pull the boot partition from your device and send
it to me? Let me know if you need instructions on how to do this.
...I tried to use ROMdump to pull the boot partition but was unable to because of permissions. Is there anyone out there with slightly more experience to help me out here?
Already the fact that he's willing to have a look is a big step forward!
:fingers-crossed:
