[Q] How to I root my TF300T (unlocked) using OSX?

[Knightfall]

I've found plenty of recent methods which involves the use of a PC. Motochopper sure makes it seem very, very simple.

However, I don't own a Windows machine at home. I only have OSX available to me. I've seen some methods available, but they're long, complicated, and also from 2012.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to rooting my tablet? A trustworthy method? I have no plans to flash a new ROM at this time, so a recovery isn't needed from my perspective. Unless it's a mandatory step.

Give motochopper a try. It is useful on mac (intel), windows, and linux.
Example:
platform=`uname`
if [ $(uname -p) = 'powerpc' ]; then
echo "[-] PowerPC is not supported."
exit 1
fi

if [ "$platform" = 'Darwin' ]; then
adb="./adb.osx"
version="OS X"
else
adb="./adb.linux"
version="Linux"
If it fails you'll need to search for methods others use.
