Guide to Root TF300T - JRO03C.US_epad-10.4.2.17-20121018

I'm more confused than ever on trying to find the *correct* guide to root my TF300T. The development forum has mislabeled threads, and most guides I found were guiding the root process for a device with a 9.x.x.x firmware. So, that said, can anyone point me to the CORRECT guide so I can root my TF running 10.4.2.17 please? Thanks.

So first off I totally understand the apprehension. I have rooted a lot thingd and this tablet seems especially technical and convoluted.
First read through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697227
1) In that thread download the "unlock bootloader" app, run it and unlock the bootloader. Your device warranty will now be void and it will say "device unlocked" in the top left corner every time you boot it up.
2) Now go to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845377, scroll down to Part 3 and download the "fastboot + JB recovery" files. Extract them into the Fastboot folder that they are zipped in. There will be two .dll files, an ADB file, a Fastboot file and a twrp.blob file.
3) Turn off your tablet. Once it's off press the power and vol/dwn buttons at the same time. Keep holding them down until you see the screen with "RCK", "android", a usb symbol, and "wipe data". Once in that screen let go and use the Vol/dwn to move the cursor and vol/up to select the USB icon. Plug your tablet into your computer and the computer should recognize it as a "fastboot" device. You can check under "devices and printers".
4) Enter the "Fastboot" folder and while holding down shift, right click the mouse. In the menu you should have the option "open command window here". Select that and it will open a cmd window. Type in the line:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob
This will copy the TWRP recovery file to the tablet and flash it. You will see a blue progress bar on your tablet while this is happening. Once that is done type:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot
This will reboot your tablet and you will now have TWRP recovery installed.
5)Once in android again, go to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668173, and download the "root-signed.zip" file in the second post and copy it to the tablet.
6)Turn off the tablet and boot into recovery by holding power and vol/dwn again. Once at the menu select "RCK" with Vol/up. It will boot into TWRP recovery now. Install the "root-signed.zip" file, reboot and the tablet should be rooted.
At this point I recommend creating a backup in recovery in case anything goes wrong from here on out.
Now you can flash any ROM your heart desires. I recommend CleanROM 2.7. It's fast, clean and very easy to install.
TWRP is easily the best recovery for this tablet. I have had many problems with CWM not installing ROM's properly and causing boot issues.
I hope this help you out. I know it's kind of a mine field of information but it works very nicely.

This is a relatively big deal: while you could root stock ICS ROMs pretty easily, you can't do it on stock JB ROMs without unlocking the bootloader, Once you're unlocked, however, it's a piece of cake.

For the amateurs. Could you elaborate on these steps?
Step (1) (a) which file to download? the .apk for the .exe file?
(b) Download to where (the tablet or onto a laptop/desktop)?
Step (2): (a) Again, download to where? Tablet or laptop/desktop? And extract to where?
Step (3) & (4): This make it sounds like the files in previous steps should be downloaded and extracted to a laptop/desktop?
Step (5) & (6): CleanRom 2.7 is already rooted. Do we need to run these steps? Or can we install CleanRom after Step 4?
Backup: What files to back up? Everything?
Critical Questions:
Do the above steps work for tablets already on Android version 4.1.1 with .29 (or .17) builds?
Sidenote: Last night, my tablets had an ASUS update and it went from build .29 to .17. Is this strange? It's going backward?

I have followed these instructions exactly, but titanium and adaway both cannot aquire root privileges. and reason why?

These steps are not technically required but I put them in there because then you have a backup copy of stock JB that is rooted.

Have you confirmed that you are truly rooted or are these apps the only ones that can't access the root directory?

So you have to root first in order to do a backup?

No you do not have to root first to do a backup.

I would try and clear the cache and data for supersu under settings>apps and that might make it start working properly.

I read the reply's to your Q, but as I have the same build as you I still haven't found one that anyone claims has worked.
You have any success?

Root TF300T
Thank you so very much for that very helpful post. Much appreciated.
After reading your instructions, I'm happy to proceed but may I ask one question first.
I've unlocked my TF300 with the ASUS application.
My build number is 10.4.2.18-20121122. It's a UK model.
Am I safe to use your instructions with this build?
Kind regards

I never obtained root, and since my OP, I've gotten an OTA as well, so it's back to square one in finding a viable root method.

I'm in the same boat. Got a 300 for Christmas, bumped up to JB w/o reading here first (yeah...that was dumb). So from looking around the only way to root is to unlock and the only way to unlock right now is via the ASUS tool which - from what I've gathered - will send my serial number to ASUS and void my warranty correct?
A few questions:
1.) does anyone know if work is being done to be able to unlock/relock w/o voiding the warranty? I love root, but I won't do it while in warranty in case something unthinkable happens . I'm not sure how much of this would be true, but can't we use nvflash to download the locked bootloader then find a way to spoof the ASUS unlock authorization? Hell, unless each tablet uses a different signature couldn't we just post the nvflash-able locked/unlocked bootloaders? I'm thinking back to the flash processes from my Tegra2 gTablet. I could be way off base, but it seems plausible with my limited knowledge.
2.) is it possible to root w/o unlocking? I know I won't get CWM/TWRP and the ability to load non-stock ROMs but I can live with that. I'd like to be able to run TiB, ES File - Root, etc though. I thought I saw something about obtaining root w/o unlock, but I can't find it and it might have been ICS instructions.
3.) I take it there's no downgrading back to ICS that would fix this either....

Hi!
You can try to unlock your device with AsusUnlock app ! - is the safe way to unlock bootloader ! ( certainly will void your warranty ! )
I don't think that's cause for concern ...I've unlocked bootloader in the very next day after I bought it ( in august this year )
- so far I think I made five hundred " flash and reflash rom " - ( for testing "custom roms" ) - and the device shows like the first day when I bought it
So, be more confident - the device is not so easily to break , you can install as many "custom roms" as you want - you just have to be very careful about the steps that you make - when you try to install a custom rom !
Good luck ! :good:
regards,
Surdu Petru

Not worried so much about flashing causing issues. I've flashed my gTab more times than I can count. More worried about pre-voiding the warranty should I have any hardware issues. Like my battery life seems to be horrible and it might need sent in for that.

[Q] Rooting Hisense Sero 7 LT

Okay i recently picked up a Hisense Sero 7 LT and i know there is a rooting method for the Pro version of the sero 7 but i haven't seen any work done with the LT model so i'm going to be working on a method to root it but i need a little help from the people with a Pro model, so if you have a Sero 7 Pro and would like to help that would be great. What i need is for the rooted Pro users to do is to upload the init.rc file in the root of the device as on the LT model / is read-only and the init.rc file isn't set to read in its permissions, next i need you to run 'ls -lR /data' in a root terminal so i can see if any files are vulnerable to the symbolic link root method. Thank you and i hope we can root this device.

says its successful but when it reboots it says 'mount: failed: permission denied' so it never got root access, i have tried a lot of other root methods and they all give me the same thing. Thats why im working on doing it myself.

yeah that method wont work with executing 'su' from /data/local/tmp because /data is mounted as nosuid which sucks..

I know one-clicks aren't the best way...
...but this seemed kind of interesting:
http www dot srsroot dot com (sorry, too new to post links )
They actually list the E270BSA in their "Tested models" page - but then they also say they have an average 48% success in rooting phones :/ From another forum I saw that their program tries 5 different root exploits.
The program is free - can anyone with a Sero 7 Lite give it a go and see what it says/does?

Hey guys - Klown80 hooked me up. SRSRoot didn't work - don't bother with it - but the new "end-to-end" Android vulnerability exploiter does (if your version of Android doesn't have both bugs patched already.)
On your device, get the app "SRS AppScanner", run it, and see if it says either of the two bugs are still "Vulnerable."
If either of them still is, go to http cydiaimpactor dot com and get the Impactor (which runs on your PC). Extract it (no install needed) and try the default exploit "# drop SuperSU su to /system/xbin/su". If it works, presto! You've got a working su binary and are rooted! Install e.g. SuperSU afterwards to give root access to other programs that need it. It's worked for me on two tablets so far (Sero 7 Pro and Sero 7 Lite) and I'm interested to try it on others!
(Oh, you'll need to have your device good to go for adb already too, for this to work. Seems like a pretty obvious thing to expect on XDA )

So I have rooted the sero 7 lt. This was achieved using cydia impactor - GOOGLE IT.
(see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340693 for instructions)
Its loading the custom recovery I can't figure out. Something to do with signature verification. The Cut and dry recovery included (hold volume down and power from power off till logo appears, then release power only. At android belly open screen hold power and press volume up to access menu.) Won't matter can't toggle signature verification. Nothing will install. SuperSU and BusyBox installed from within. There is half the battle... time to win the war.

IT is also posted here too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44446888&postcount=6
And that is the stock recovery you are talking about, all android devices have it. It is not possible to turn off signature verification within the stock recovery, hence the need for a custom recovery. The only thing you can flash within the stock recovery are OFFICIALLY signed zips made by your device manufacturer.

Root Memo Pad 10 FHD

Hi,
is ist possible to root the new android asus memo pad 10 fhd with intel z2560 soc (x86) and android 4.2.2?
There are no recovery images avaliable yet.Even source code.
But id like to get root for it.
Does somone know how ?
So please report it!
There are so many german people how like to root it.
Please help
Big thanks
Bye

I searched for several hours and tried numerous different rootkits, but none of them worked.
There seems to be someone providing a method for Memo Pad 7 HD, but I didn't want to try it out of fear that it would semi-brick my device (particularly the bootloader).
I love the device though. Only problem is that the screen is too reflective.

My friend,
have a look at my post inside german forum!
I rooted the memo pad successfully
http://www.android-hilfe.de/asus-me...5825-howto-root-fuer-das-memo-pad-10-fhd.html
In some days i will translate it to english
Nice flash.

Hi there. I'd like to ask how is the translation going? I tried to read the whole procedure in German with Google translator, and couldn't get anything clear enough to try to do it...
Oh, and no pressure meant!
Thank you very much in advance!!

1.Download the two links in the post (system.img.gz and superuser.apk)
Put system.img.gz and superuser.apk in the same folder as adb.exe.
2. Put the tablet into bootloader mode (Power+Vol Up)
3. Run these commands in command prompt with administrator priviledges:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase system
fastboot flash system system.img.gz
5. Reboot and again run in command prompt
adb install Superuser.apk

Hi, my friend
Anyone can provide more detail of the root process?
Many thanks!!!!!

Thank you very much, Matt, for the info. I think I'd better wait a little bit longer to gain root access, not really needing root right now..
Alright, I have to confess I am not sure I could get it rooted with that method, still a newbie! xD. I will wait for a easier one-click root.
Thank you very much though!

I just rooted using the commands above, only difference is i used the latest system_4_6_2_root.img file since i've upgraded my pad to 4.6.2.
Im root again!! Thanks guys

O. T. Theoretically this device can even run windows 8, can't it?
Back in thread. I think it's even easier than what described above:
1) Make sure that your device is updated with the last firmware 4.6.2, check the OTA updates on your tablet.
2) If you don't have it already installed, download and install fastboot here.
3) Download and install Intel USB drivers from here.
4) Download the rooted system image from here and move in the directory where you have fastboot installed (see point 2).
5) Reboot you tablet in download mode by pressing Power + vol up.
6) Launch a command window and type fastboot flash system system_4_6_2_root.img.gz
Voila, your device is rooted, you just need to download from the market the SuperSU app.
I didn't lose any setting / application.
All the information is taken from the german forum. Thanks to them.

yes it should be possible, do you maybe know where to get windows 8 with touch support for tablets?

I don't know if it is that easy. I think the bootloader should somehow support the Windows boot, even if we had the Windows 8 installation media.

These just came out in the US and mine should be here tomorrow. Excited to get her rooted! Hope we get a thread/some development!

Got my memo pad fhd 10! I personally think it's pretty amazing. Stock launcher is lacking but with nova is a LOT better. Still need to root as I would like to freeze some of the junk. It's very snappy and the screen looks great. Extremely happy with the purchase but would love to see some devs jump on it.
Also, just did some browser hopping. Boat browser is complete butter on this. Glassy smooth and quick, much better than chrome.

OTA Updater misery
Hello Linus Plus
I run Android 4.2.2
I am trying to follow your process. Phases 2,3,4,5 are ok
but the first is not:
when I go to OTA update I get:
"Unsupported ROM
The ROM developer has not enabled support for the OTA
updater. ..."
What should I do?
Thanks for your help
Thanks

O. T. Theoretically this device can even run windows 8, can't it?
Back in thread. I think it's even easier than what described above:
1) Make sure that your device is updated with the last firmware 4.6.2, check the OTA updates on your tablet.
2) If you don't have it already installed, download and install fastboot here.
3) Download and install Intel USB drivers from here.
4) Download the rooted system image from here and move in the directory where you have fastboot installed (see point 2).
5) Reboot you tablet in download mode by pressing Power + vol up.
6) Launch a command window and type fastboot flash system system_4_6_2_root.img.gz
Voila, your device is rooted, you just need to download from the market the SuperSU app.
I didn't lose any setting / application.
All the information is taken from the german forum. Thanks to them.

Hi,
i will create a new one.
Because 4.7 is just release
bye

If I use Pro SuperSu I update without losing root?

My mistake, it works
I finally understood that 4.6.2 refers to the build number and not to the Android version.
Therefore I could go through all of the process and the device is rooted now.
thanks a lot, your process is very easy

I was foolish enough to upgrade from rooted 4.6.2 to 4.7.0 and i keep getting crashes.. the worst crash is the keyboards.. none of them work.. cant do anything with my memopad at all.. anyone know if it's possible to re-flash the cracked 4.6.2 image?? On asus site they say that the firmware u download from there cant be used to downgrade... really hope thats wrong since the latest firmware on their site is 4.6.2 and i've got 4.7.0 which i got through OTA

AT&T H810 software H81010g

I have seen root is now available for that H810. My software version is H81010g. Is root possible with my phone yet?

Yea check the root thread in the general lg g4 thread.
Sent from my LG-H810 using XDA Free mobile app

I need help! LGG4
I have Software Version. H81010I
I was unaware if a root exploit to unlock bootloader and also to root my phone
was available for my phone yet. I also would prefer a different flashing utility than TWRP.
I dont like it when I used it with my Optimus G.
Thanks in advance.

Right now there is no TWRP for the AT&T variant. Also can you pull your system.img of your stock 10I software? To do that do this:
1. Download these drivers
2. Download the root tools (make sure you mouse over the download button and the bottom of your browser says LG_Root.zip)
3. On this page follow steps 1,2,3,6,7,8,and 9 ONLY also make sure you run the ports.bat and are using the port that says DIAG
4. Then run this command
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=65536 count=579584 of=/data/media/0/system.img
5. When the command prompt returns to # type LEAVE to reboot your phone. Has to be in all caps.
6. On you computer navigate to your phones internal storage and you will see a file called system.img. Upload this to google drive.

Status: Root unsuccessful
I ran the script through cmd. I watched everything happening and I was unable to gain img or root. What do I do next?

If you followed my steps exactly as above then you shouldn't have root. there should be a file in your phones internal memory called system.img
If you don't have this try it again. when you issue the command
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=8192 skip=65536 count=579584 of=/data/media/0/system.img
it should take 2-3 minutes to come back to the # sign. if it is instant then it didn't work. keep retrying until you get the system.img file.
When you get that and upload it I can root it for you then you can flash it to your phone.

Thanks.
It was able to create a system img for me. I can root it if you just let me know the steps. Should I not just follow all of the steps 1-10?

No, that is not how you root it. It needs to be rooted in a linux environment. that's why I asked you to upload, because it isn't a simple process to root.

What is your GMAIL. I will share it through drive?

Hi,
I'm using an unlocked 810 on TMobile, so I can't get any OTA past 10g. Please guide me on how to get 10l and root. Thanks!

How did you do that? Did it download automatically over their wireless? I wonder if it works work over any att WiFi access point.

Moto One 5G Ace Rooted with TWRP using stock Firmware

First of all, I am not a dev and this write up contains steps used by various devs to achieve fulll root. For some, these steps have worked out well. But, not for me. I had issues with some of the steps not fully working as they should, so I did some research until I could piece together something that worked for me. Here's what I did and managed to get fully rooted using the boot.img from the stock firmware after doing all the steps from this link Articul8Madness's Rooting Guide and couldn't get full root access even after using the steps from this link Articul8Madness's Guide for R/W Access. As I have said, these steps worked for most people. I wasn't one of them.
I followed the steps up to the step where the boot.img is modded by Magisk. This is where I omitted using the modded boot.img and used the original boot.img from the stock firmware and I then ran the flashfile script as mentioned in the steps. After everything was applied I then, rebooted the phone, started setup, disabled System Updates, and I then proceeded to install TWRP using the steps from this link https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KZ0xhstQ9V_7TYt3xs7P5XdroYX61CEA after opening Minimal ADB and Fastboot applying these scripts
adb reboot fastboot
then apply this
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.5.2_10-kiev.img
I then rebooted into recovery and installed TWRP to all available partitions. I then installed Magisk, enabled Systemless Hosts in settings, and rebooted. Afterwards, I used the steps here Munjeni's RW in Super Partition Tool to get RW in super partitions after downloading and using superrepack. I had omitted the ./superrepack /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/super system_a in order to have it applied to all available partitions. Everything worked out great. I then rebooted, updated Magisk, installed Root Checker and Root Explorer with Superuser root access. I then installed Adaway from https://github.com/AdAway/AdAway and clicking on the Get It On AdAway image. Anything that requires root access here on out, can now be installed. As for the SafetyNet issue, I have not had any problem with it at all even though the check had failed. All is now working well and I sincerely hope that this guide will help others as it have helped me. I may have done this write up but, all credits goes to the true devs.
Time for devs to start making custom Roms now that TWRP can be installed.

Your first link doesn't work for me. The Adaway link works. FYI.

WOW!!! I see what I did wrong. All links are now working.

Hi there. As i understand Windows PC is required for this unlocking? Any idea on Linux emulated on Chrome OS?

Sorry, but you will have to ask one of the Devs in the links that I've provided in the OP. Perhaps they are more suited to help with that.

Linux will work fine. All the commands required are done thru a terminal session. Use a text editor to get the long unlock code from the phone.
Good luck.

Ok about terminal. I used cmd , but bootloader cannot be unlocked official way nor at&t unlockable coz i don't live in usa.I will try 3rd party helpers.

You did a fantastic job. This worked perfectly. Some notes:
1) You must install the Motorola device driver in Windows. Doesn't work with leftover drivers that seem to communicate just fine with the phone.
2) You have to unlock the bootloader via Motorola's website if it is locked. Key step not communicated: when you enter in the code to unlock at the computer with a fastboot command the phone will ask you to confirm that you want it unlocked. If you don't look at your phone and answer the question it will time out.
3) When you boot into TWRP it will ask for a password if you have a screen lock set. The password is your screen lock. No big deal.
4) Once you are in TWRP install the Magisk Zip file and let it do its magic.
5) Enjoy a fully unlocked stock firmware. It's awesome.
Thanks again.

Sorry for the late reply. I really haven't decided yet if I'll update to Android 11. I would imagine it'll be rooted in the same manner. If I could get ahold of the US version, I may give it a shot.

I've update to android 11 and am continuing to use your version of twrp but it's off a little bit in terms of the partitions it loads. Seems to work otherwise.

I don't have an answer for that at this time since I'm still on 10. That'd be too much like a blind man in a desert looking for shade and telling another which way to go.

Greetings, I have a few questions. re the Moto G 5G (One 5G Ace)
I've not found a TWRP for this phone yet which were you using?
In other phones it was important to backup the IMEI (EFS ) and 'persistent' partitions. Do we not do that with this phone as well?
Thx in advance

Sorry for the late reply. I used this version of TWRP twrp-3.5.2_10-kiev.img. As far as the IMEI (EFS) question, it wasn't required when using this root process. However, you can back those up if you like.
