Root the ASUS TF300T tablet without unlocking the bootloader, great!

Hi,
I've found the following link about rooting the TF300T:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706588 ,
but I got a question, though. It looks the script needs to be installed on a Win PC, but how is the connection and setup procedure on the side of the TF300T tablet?? I am new in the Android world, so I'm not all to sure about things.
Oh, btw I forgot, I got JB 4.1.1

The method you just posted is for ICS users only. If you are on JB, you cannot successfully use it, and you must unlock your bootloader to get root.

My TF300T is already unlocked, it even shows at boot time a message saying it is unlocked.
So, would the procedure in the link in my previous message work?
If you think it would work, then what procedures and settings should I fix and follow on the side of the TF300T?

The first post in previous link has two attached ZIP packages from which one is the package with the drivers, called:
ASUS Android USB Drivers.zip - [Click for QR Code] (8.28 MB, 25376 views)
I've downloaded and extracted it on my Win7 64bit PC, but I cannot install them, there isn't any installer to install the drivers. All there is are *.inf files and when I right-click them and then click install, I get an error message.
So, could anybody tell me how to install the drivers in Win7?
Hope sparkym3 is reading this.

No it will not work, however part three of this guide WILL work for you since you are unlocked. I didn't see you mention that before sorry - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30516010

Tried it out but got stuck at the Win7 cmd command:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery tf300t-jb.blob
I got an error message at that command saying cannot load tf300t-jb.blob , and indeed tf300t-jb.blob is nowhere to be found in the downloaded folders Fastboot+recovery and Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed on my Win7 PC. However in folder Fastboot+recovery/Fastboot there are the files twrp.blob, but I don't dear to run it. I figured I'll ask first where the tf300t-jb.blob has gone to? Maybe krabappel2548 could shed some light on the issue, if anyone can contact him/her.

As a newbie I'm not all too sure, so I got another question. At instruction number 7, it says:
7) Copy Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed to the internal storage of your tablet. then reboot into the bootloader again.
So I assume Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed must be a FOLDER, not a file? And where exactly should I copy that folder? In the root of my Asus JB tablet alongside the other folder like Android, .frb, Download, Music, Pictures, DCIM, .MoVend,... Or should I copy the folder Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed somewhere deeper into some other folder on the tablet?

I got a SuperSU error message saying:
"There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it.
This is a problem!"
The point is that I don't really know how to install onto my JB Asus tablet the folder Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed. Could anyone explain, step-by-step, how to install the folder once I've booted into RCK on the tablet?
Thanks in advance

Ok, here is Part 3 from the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30516010&postcount=1
== Part 3 BEGINNING - Install recovery and rooting ==
Let's start with installing the recovery
1) Download these 2 files:
- Jellybean recovery with fastboot files: Fastboot files + JB recovery
- Root files: Root Files
- You can also download the new CWM Touch recovery if you don't like TWRP: CWM Touch recovery thread
2) Extract the recovery with fastboot files zip and open a command prompt in the same folder of the adb and fastboot files (Shift + Right mouse)
3) Reboot into the bootloader of your tablet, type: adb reboot bootloader
4) When your tablet has reached the bootloader navigate with volume down to the usb icon and press volume up to confirm.
5) To flash the recovery type:
- TWRP: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery tf300t-jb.blob
- CWM: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery CWM-Touch.blob
6) A blue bar will appear and the recovery will be installed, when the blue bar is filled press volume up + power button to reboot into the tablet.
Now we will root the tablet
7) Copy Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed to the internal storage of your tablet. then reboot into the bootloader again.
8) This time you need to select the RCK icon with volume up to enter the recovery image.
9) In recovery flash Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed and reboot into the system
10) Install Supersu from Google Play
11) Open up Supersu, it will ask you to update the binary, choose yes.
12) Now your tablet should be rooted
== Part 3 END - Install recovery and rooting ==
So, I copied the folder Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed in the root directory of my tablet along side the folder TWRP.
I managed to boot into TWRP and got the screen
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then I pushed the button REBOOT followed by the button SYSTEM.
Then I followed 10), 11), en 12) but my tablet does not go into root and SuperSU gives me the error in previous post. Also Superuser app does not work.
I'm not sure about if I have flashed the folder Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed properly.
Can anyhow give me some instructions how to continue from 7) onwards.

Go back into twrp recovery, and tap install, then select the superuser zip file you have on. Your internal storage.

I just did that. Selected Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed, which is btw a folder and not a ZIP file, and then pushed install button (very top-right on the tablet screen, looks like a square-like button), and then I got the message "Updating partition details..." which just keeps on being there with no movement nor any progress whatsoever. So what's up with my tablet???

After I tapped Install in the twrp menu, I got two panes. The left pane shows the 2 subfolders of Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed, and the pane on the right shows /sdcard/Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed at the top but the right pane itself is empty. At the very top in twrp it says Select Zip to Install. However, I do not have any ZIP. I only have the folder Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed with 2 subfolders called META-INF and system. So how should I proceed from here?
PS It is after midnight, so I am off. CU later.

The folders you just mentioned are the contents of the original superuser zip. Download the zip file from the guide, put the zip on the sdcard folder, and try twrp again. Twrp installs zip files.

Yes. Download the superuser zip using your device. Move it to /sdcard. Shut down. Start up into recovery with power button + vol down. Install.

It works!!!! Million times thanks to funnel71. The instructions in the link you've provided me earlier (see also my post #10) are a bit misleading. In 7) its says
"7) Copy Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed to the internal storage of your tablet. then reboot into the bootloader again."
But in stead of Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed (which is a folder) it should be Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.ZIP, which is a file. I got mislead and thought I had to unpack the zip file and them transfer the folders.
Now I got another problem. The reason why I needed root was for running Undelete/Recover Apps, and those I tested don't work. So I'll be opening a new thread soon.

Do you connect your Android device to your Windows PC using a data cable? That is not the case with me, my tablet is connect to my PC using the POWER cable. The power cable is plugged into the tablet and the other side of my power cable has a normal Standaard USB (2.0) Type A connector, which goes into the wall plug adapter. The power channel/port of my tablet can also carry data from and too the internal SDcard of the tablet.
I'm not sure but probably your Android device should be able to get connected to you Windows PC the same way as with my tablet.

Data and power ?
Only one cable for data (pc to device) and power(charger to device)
What do you smoke?

[GUIDE][ROOT]All In One Root And Drivers Guide For Ubislate Tabs(Aakash)

Please Note: Whatever you are doing here is at your own risk.. Having said that, if you still blame me for spoiling the broth, well, I am not the COOK then.. So read properly and stop being noob..​
So, we start.....
This Guide is for Windows.. Follow each step properly before asking questions..​
Step 1: Setting up Drivers for Ubislate:
1. You need to install Android sdk from here and JAVA from here. Without java, sdk might show errors. So install JAVA and then SDK. I won't tell you how to install these.. Search..
2. This step onwards the real game starts.. once you install sdk, open sdk manager and install the necessary tools like sdk platform tools..Most important of it is installing google usb drivers from the list of options.. You will see this type of list :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Choose sdk tools, sdk platform tools and google usb drivers from the list and click on Install Packages..
3. Once that is done, go to sdk folder and then to platform tools. Keep pressing the shift key and right click and select 'Open command window here'. Type 'adb' in small. If you see a list of options coming, you are good to go and sdk is installed.
4. Go to sdk folder again and in that go to extras/google/usb_driver. Replace the android_winusb file with the one provided below of this post. Just copy paste and replace.
5. Connect your Ubislate tab to pc and go to Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Device and Printers/Device Manager.Go to other devices in the list and You will see an exclamation mark on your device named Android.
6. Right click on it and click on Update driver software.
7. Select Browse my computer for update driver and then click on Let me pick up from a list of device drivers.
8. From Common hardware types select Android Device and then click on Have Disk
9. An Install from disk dialog box appears. Click on browse and go to sdk folder where you have copied the android_winusb file i.e extras/google/usb_driver. Select android_winsub and click on OPEN. A list of drivers will now open
10. Click on Android ADB Interface and then click on next. Done!! You now have ADB access for your Aakash tab. To check, go to sdk folder/platform-tools and open command window and type adb devices. You will see your device in List of devices attached with some number and device written besides it.
Please Note: The drivers will not get installed on Windows 8 untill you disable DIGITAL DEVICES DRIVER ENFORCEMENT.. Search on google on how to disable it.. Its damm easy..
If you are done with this only then move ahead......​​​​​

​
Step2:Installing CWM Recovery and Rooting:
1. I have made a fully working recovery for Ubislate tabs which works very well without any problems and detects the internal sd card without issues. Follow this guide here and install recovery on your aakash tab.
2. To reboot to recovery, press and hold VOL + key and Power key till the tablet boots into recovery or else there is a bat file in the zip file provided in the above link, run it and your tab will automatically boot into recovery.
3. Download Superuser.zip provided below and copy it to your internal sd card.
4. Boot to recovery and click on Install zip from sd card>choose zip from internal sd card. Navigate to the folder where you have placed the Superuser.zip and install it.
5. Reboot and you are finally done.. You now have a rooted Aakash tab with a CWM Recovery installed and proper ADB Drivers
I recommend all users to make a NANDROID BACKUP before making any changes into system as I Haven't found any Perfectly working ROM for AAKASH TAB.. Go Ahead and Enjoy​

This has perfectly worked on my Ubislate 7ci and should work on other versions of Aakash Tab too. Though test it and let me know as I haven't tested it on other tabs.​

ADB Driver
Does anyone have an ADB driver that works for this tablet (UbiSlate 7ci)? I've downloaded the one from Android SDK numerous times as well as a few others. None have worked so far.
I'm not a total noob as I've rooted my S3, two Nexus 7's, a Droid 4, a Droid 2, a DINC as well as a KFHD.
Thanks in advance.
Jeremy
Update:
Problem solved... I used this http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach..._AOSP_Rk29sdk_Android_4.0.3-7inch-Tablet.pdf; specifically step 11 &19 to get ADB working.
Now I just need to root this device. The box shows that it's an A9 chip so hopefully this still works, also it was delivered running Android 4.2.2

Hi,
I'm wondering if you can help me.
I followed your guide for my Ubislate 7Ci. I used the Recovery install guide from here and rebooted into Recovery using the batch file included in the zip. Now I'm stuck in Recovery and can't do anything. I get an error message saying
E: Can't mount .....(insert ~4 file paths here)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
when CMW boots or if I try to manually mount something. If I choose "Reboot system now" I end up back in CMW.
Any ideas as to what I can do?

Keep in mind, no matter what, you always have to take backup before doing anything with your phone if you aren't sure about what will happen. And this becomes must when playing with devices which don't have many stuff available related to it.. Next time do consider this. because being an owner of such a great Tab( sarcasm intended), you need to be sure about alllll this.

========================================================================================================================
----- SHORT DECLARATION - ODIN3 -----​
PDA refers to the build version of the firmware
Phone refers to the baseband/modem version
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.
CSC has nothing to do with what languages the firmware supports and it will not add keyboard language support either.
.PIT refers to the partition information table you only need it if you screw up your partition table or if the firmware specifically requires it because of a change in the partition table layout. It's very likely you may never have to use this.
If the package only contains one .tar archive then it will have everything, pda+phone+csc, in the one file.
If it has multiple .tar archive then:
• The .tar with modem in the name is the phone/baseband bit of the package
• .tar with csc/multi-csc in the name is the csc bit of the package
• .tar with code/PDA in the name is the PDA part of the firmware package
If this is the case you will need to put these .tar archives in the specific areas of Odin to flash the update

I just want to ask if this custom version of Phil's Touch has less features compared to the common one we all know?
Otherwise I will have to install the CWM, but I don't like it.

Yeah I choosed the same.
I only suggest you to add at step #6 of the flashing tut the link to the Samsung USB drivers as it's a common thing people might forget to install and therefore the device wouldn't be detected when connecting by USB.
Now thanks to you I can finally back everything up with Titanium and flash another ROM (the NEE one)!
Remember to setup a Beer button so that we can offer you one.

Same problem here. No ext sd card access here with Phils.
Do you remove the sd before going into CWM? Format is exFAT.

I actually had my contacts saved on the Google account and you can do the same.
Save the SMS with SMS Backup & Restore.
Everything else can be moved to your computer and back.
I then rooted the phone, installed Titanium Backup and went on with a complete apps, data and settings backup.
Even after flashing the NEE firmware everything (but root and CWM) was there without the need of a restore.

[Q] Noob needs help installing KatKiss ROM

Hi there!
I am a super noob in installing custom ROMs and desperately need some help!
I have an Asus Transformer tf101 (duh), I don't have the keyboard dock. I want to install the KKKK ROM, but I have no idea how to. I know I have to wipe, boot rom, flash kernel and reboot, but I really have no idea how to. I do not have an SD card (and I don't think my tablet can take one), but there is a folder on the tablet somewhere called sdcard. So... Can you help me? I have searched through the forums but I am not sure if descriptions for other devices go for mine as well...
Concluding: I have the TF101 without the keyboard dock. It runs stock android (updated as far as I could, just checked it: Android 4.0.3). And I want to run KatKiss' KitKat ROM.
Can you help this noob installing a ROM (and not bricking the device?)? It would be very much appreciated!
Michelle

Plug the tablet into the PC > USB
Turn off your tablet
Put the Tablet into APX Mode (Volume Up & Power button)
You won't see anything on the tablet screen, but the PC should recognise it, that is the only indication that you have successfully entered APX Mode
Install APX Drivers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942
Run EasyFlasher
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
Depending on your tablet serial number you will need either SBK1 or SBK2 selection in EasyFlasher - easiest way to know if if your tablet serial starts with B4O > B6O it's SBK1, anything above that and it's SBK2 (Some B7Os are SBK1 but not many)
You need to select TWRP Recovery from EasyFlasher and flash that first
Once you have successfully flashed TWRP, you can flash any ROM you like from TWRP Recovery by booting into recovery
(Volume Down & Power until white text appears at the top of the screen, then release buttons and press volume up once)
Your TF101 does take Micro SD cards, it's a small slot on the lower right side of the tablet edge
Because you are coming from stock I would at this point suggest wiping everything from TWRP, but as you are not using a Micro SDCard, Im not 100% sure where you could store the ROM before wiping, so...
Copy the ROM & Gapps to your SDCard folder on your TF101 before wiping anything / before booting into recovery
Now boot into recovery and wipe only SYSTEM, CACHE & DALVIK CACHE
Now go to the INSTALL menu and find your KatKiss ROM & Gapps
Flash ROM then Gapps
Now back to the WIPE menu and wipe only CACHE & DALVIK CACHE
Now reboot
You should be booting into Kat Kiss now
My advice: Buy a MicroSD Card to make things much easier and have a way to recover your tablet if you accidentally wipe everything including your Custom ROM zip while you're inside recovery

Thanks so much!^^ I do have some questions still though.. (so afraid I'll brick the thing)

When you have the TF connected to the PC USB and enter APX mode, it should show up in Device Manager as ! unknown device or something similar, extract the zip of the Universal drivers and update the ! entry in device manager manually by pointing it to the drivers you extracted earlier - it should install the correct driver for you

Great, yes now you can copy the ROM & Gapps zip files to the Micro SD Card, and once you are inside of TWRP recovery you can now wipe SYSTEM, CACHE, DALVIK CACHE, DATA, INTERNAL STORAGE etc etc (Everything apart from External Storage which is your MicroSD Card) if you do not want to keep anything at all on the TF101 and just start a fresh with KatKiss

Don't know where you got that ROM from, but it's not named the same as the actual ROM from the main page
This is the ROM you want
http://downloads.timduru.org/android/tf101/K.A.T/KatKiss/4.4/dev/KatKiss-4.4.2_018.zip
See how yours is called KatKiss-4.4.2_2018.zip
Actual ROM doesn't have that 2
KatKiss-4.4.2_018.zip

Another Guide for you
Hi
Frederuco also did quite a good guide HERE
It might help you too.

Okay, thanks. So I'm doing this, but can't seem to boot into TWRP... APX, EasyFlash all went great, but when I try to boot into TWRP (Vol Down+Power and when text comes vol up) it just boots into my tablet (you know, asus, android, but no TWRP).
Am I doing something wrong? Or should I press earlier or later on the vol up?

Detection: My bad that was a typo, i actually have downloaded the good version but it seems that the md5 is not correct.
I already wipe the system and havent a microSD card yet. So i can't change the file on the /sdcard. But i have a SD that the dock can read.And also 2 USB. But it is possible to use them in TWRP ? With a mount command or something ? Otherwise i will buy a microSD...
MichelleChristiana92: When the text come up, you have only 5s to press VOL_UP

You have 5 seconds from the time the white text appears to press Vol Up or it will just boot to the ROM

You could use ADB in TWRP and push the new ROM to the TF via ADB commands
Put ROM in same folder as adb command is being run from on the PC
So if ROM is on C:\ROM, make sure Command Prompt is like this:
C:\ROM> adb push nameofROM.zip /sdcard/
Hit Enter
That should copy the ROM to the TF internal sdcard

Thank you for help.
But actually adb does not found my device :/
Is there something to configure ?

Check Device manager and install these drivers

Or use Ubuntu, once you install the adb tools you should have no problems connecting to the TF using ADB - I use VMWare Ubuntu install for that

Hmm.. I press the vol up as fast as I can, but every time when I press it it goes to that second text screen with "OS will cold boot to stock linux, you have ten seconds to press vol up or vol down for..." or something like that.. I don't even think I have 5 seconds. When I press it it immediately goes to that second text screen, and then just boots.
Will try again tomorrow, if you know anything please let me know (but its probably just me though

Try using EasyFlasher to Root your TF, and then install this App, it will let you press it to reboot into recovery
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.transformer.recovery&hl=en
It sounds like the TWRP install didn't work though, but could be wrong
Also, if you manage to root it, you could flash TWRP using GooManager
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager&hl=en
GooManager > 3 dots menu button top right > "Install OpenRecoveryScript"
But you need to be rooted for either of those options to work

As you can see in the attachment below, i already have APX Driver installed.
But abd devices does not recognize my device when i boot my tablet in the APX mod.
When i boot in TWRP, the device appear as USB MTP device but adb still not find it...

Yea Windows & APX don't play nice together from my experience
Install Ubuntu somewhere and use that instead, I use VMWare, I guess VMPlayer will work too if it can see USB devices, and it's free
https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/free#desktop_end_user_computing/vmware_player/6_0
Or boot your PC on a Live Ubuntu DVD / Flashdrive and do it from that

Thank you! I am on KitKat now!
I downloaded and installed EasyFlasher again, from a few diffrent sources, and one of them worked and I rebooted into TWRP! Everything went smooth after that and am on KitKat now!
Thanks so much!
Cheers,

How to root the S7 EDGE

Caution when modifying your phone, although you can revert 99% of issues you may come across, be cautious.
I take no credit other than compiling info and making a guide. All credit goes to http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4911585 (br3w3r, Chainfire and Princecomsy)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/g935a-root-t3410403
Well, root has been achieved on all of the variants. All the information is spread, therefore I will compile it.
It is confirmed working for the G935T/A/ (All firmwares so far) can anyone verify it works for Verizon?

MAKE SURE TO BACKUP YOUR PHONE, YOU MAY NEED TO FACTORY RESET AFTER FLASHING THE ENGBOOT FILE. ( MAY BE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DISABLED SYSTEM APPS)
1- Put your device in to download mode ( Power off--- Hold Down arrow + Home + Power button)
2-Open the provided ODIN and where it says "AP" select and open the file "Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR" -- FLASH it--
3- The phone should now reboot
Installing SuperSU
easiest way to put it for flashing su.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLvRuzQMPLk
1- make sure you have the adb toolkit installed( place it in the root of the "C:/" drive. Mine is "C:/adb"
2- place the superuser folder you downloaded in to c:/adb and rename it "super" to make things easier
3- open the command prompt. Either search for it or press windows key + r and type in "cmd"
4- once cmd is open, navigate to the "super" folder. To do so type cd c:/ , then type cd adb and finally type cd super
5- type in root.bat
You should now be rooted.
To remove the security warning, use a package disabler like titanium backup and disable SecurityLogAgent
NOTE
For those having lag, heat, and battery drain issues. Try doing this.
I had those issues on PD6.
What I did was, ODIN'd a factory PD8 file and rerooted, then I used KERNEL TOOLKIT and changed to the ONDEMAND Governor, next I increased the CPU(small cores / and large cores) to max FREQUENCY allowed and reduced the min core frequencies to the lowest setting. Be sure to apply settings on boot so they stick.
The phone is very fast now.
I disabled the KNOX packages and tmobile package.
It fixed 95% of my issues, im even running xposed

For anyone that needs the complete firmware from Sammobile:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935T/
I also attached the root files necessary in the zip file here.
BUT... you also need to unrar it. Stinking forum set the zip limit to 20MB for zip files but it zips to about 23MB.
Rar limit is 8MB but in a rar it was reduced to about 18. So... rar'ed it up, hid it in a zip.

Will this work on PC8? That's the one I'm on.

No guts, no glory. Try it and let us know. Root hasn't been out but for a couple of hours so it's hard to know for sure. Make a backup with Smart Switch and try it out! My guess is that you shouldn't have any issue.
If anyone has disabled any of their apps, make sure you re-enable them.
If you get stuck at the white T-Mobile screen for longer than 5 minutes then reboot back to stock recovery and factory reset. Sucks... but some of us had to do it. Afterwards, it should boot fine.
By the way... HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!

Switch your Samsung Galaxy S7 or S7 edge completely.
Boot into Galaxy S7 recovery mode by pressing and holding Volume Down, Home and Power keys at the same time.
Release all three buttons when Samsung Galaxy S7 screen flickers and you see a warning sign.
Press Volume Up to continue to the main screen of Recovery mode. Or, press Volume Down if you aren’t sure and want to go back to the normal mode.
That’s just about it!

I am getting the same lag that others have reported previously. One thing I'm seeing that stands out in logcat is Secure Storage Daemon throwing warnings and then an error "Kernal binary has been changed. Please use the same version of platform/kernel binaries"

Yes, specifically the root.bat is Windows based, but you could read the .bat and figure out how to do it in linux. Either way, yes.

So just followed the guide? Do I need anything else? I just follow the guide and download what the guide says? Do I need to turn my phone off? Do I need a specific app on my phone for anything? Sorry for the questions

If you follow the guide, you'll have everything you need and there wouldn't be any questions needed.
I guess more specific to ask, where are you getting hung up?
On a windows machine:
Download all the files listed and get them installed
Follow the instructions (boot phone into download mode, put adb folder into c:\, rename the SuperSU folder from the zip archive to "super" for easy access, execute the cd's and then execute root.bat)

It's in the guide.
Please just read the guide and understand it before you move forward. Ask what you don't understand from the guide so that the writer could make it more clear if it's needed. But what you just asked is literally written clearly with what to do.
