I just want to root

[Raul69.atl]

Hey guys I want to root(only root) my tf300
I've been reading all day that u need to unlock bootloader and some that u don't have to unlock.
Does anyone know the best and easy way to only root tf300
I read something about debugfs but haven't tried it.
If u guys have a link for the root I'll appreciate it.
I'm on .30 version.

You do not need to unlock the boot loader to root.
I used the app in the following thread to root and am also on .30...

Yes. You need to have a PC. It is to be done in recovery mode IIRC.
Good luck with the rooting.

Sadly a PC is required with this method, but after reading all the root threads on here, I decided it was the easiest method and worked a treat for many

Just don't make the same error I did... don't connect the tablet to the dock and then USB on the dock to the PC, use the use charging cable supplied with the charger and connect the tablet to the PC via it, otherwise Windows wont see it...

Make sure you have the drivers installed too!

 

[Raul69.atl]

OK but how exactly u do this...I already downloaded the zip file on PC and pluged tablet...it installed drivers but last one ...says waiting for input and I got some options saying 1.locate and install driver
2.ask me again later 3. Don't show this message again


I click #1
Now what?

Best to read the full thread I linked to, but make sure you have USB debugging enabled on the tf300 under developer options in settings...

From what I remember, I just unzipped the downloaded file to a folder, opened the folder and ran the .bat and it did the rest.

To get the correct drivers installed, I just installed Asus sync from the Asus support site, but make sure it is not running when you run the .bat.

I had the same issue, I think I installed the Android Development Kit and rebooted a couple times and it just decided to work after that. Soo, hope that helps?

Just did it, with the newest version from his skydrive account.
The only thing, I had to change USB mode from drive to camera-something in order for the ADB to detect the device..
My only reason to do it, was to get:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25286407
and I must say it's like a totally new device... Finally I can use the browser on "heavy" sites without ANR's..

Long story short, it makes the stock browser a lot faster, by using ram as cache instead of the disk.
