Rooting Note on JB/ICS ROM
Using CWM.zip (temporary/Touch recovery)method to root is said to be unsafe by entropy, and till safe release don't use it
Read This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810954
So present options for rooting are - Here below 5 option to root Note, You can select any of one.
0.Root with apk (NO MORE WORKING ON LATEST ROM)
1A.Root with stock recovery including safe kernel
1B.Root with stock recovery
2. Using Odin (will raise counter)
3.Using Mobile Odin
NEW 17 Dec2012
0.Root with apkCredit goes to Chainfire, alephzain (This method won't replace kernel, so if you root with this method,I recommend to flash safe kernel)(NO MORE WORKING ON LATEST ROM)
1.Download latest from chainfire's original thread
2.Install application as routine apk installation and open it.
3.Open Exynos Abuse application from App drawer
4.Select Root device (see image)

5.It will ask SuperSU permission, Grant it See image)
6.Now your device is rooted, for security purpose you can disable Exploit.(see image)
Note : This may break camera, but unchecking disable exploit make it working again
7.Open SuperSU from app drawer and update binary (see image)
How to Unroot and make status Normal
Open Exynos Abuse app, uncheck disable explot and select Unroot device (see image)
Restart device and wait for 10 min. and then you can check status.
1.Rooting with stock recovery - Thanx to Entropy who direct this way,as well always looking for safety measures for us, Chainfire for creating great tool SuperSu (and many more), Phil3759 as files,scripts derived from his Thread and Linus Yang for Busybox.
You can have two choice to root device from recovery
1A.Root + safe kernel + advance recovery. [Recommended method]
Here this will not just root your device but also add safe kernel (patched for mmc erase cap command) so you can safely wipe your device. as well gives you advanced recovery with it you can flash flashable zip files, nandroid backup/restore and more.
All credit goes to Phil3759 for awesome work.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191
And download kernel in zip format according ROM you are having on device.
-Copy downloaded file to Ext SD card to root directory
-Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)
-Select install(update) zip from ext SD card
-select '[your downloaded kerenel].zip' which you have copied to Ext card above
-Reboot device
Now you will have Root + safe kernel
1B.If you want just Root but not kernel, follow this
- Download Root_SuperSu 0.95
-Copy downloaded file to Ext SD card.
-Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)
-Select install zip from ext SD card
-select 'root_SuperSU-*.zip' which you have copied to Ext card above
-Reboot device
-You can see superSU on appl drawer. open it and update.
-Now This will give you only SuperSU not busybox, though application which doesn't depends on system busybox will still works.e.g.Titanium Backup.
-To get full Root+busybox, Download Root_busybox *.zip
-Copy Root_busybox* only to Ext SD card
-Reboot into recovery, Select Install zip from Ext SD card. select Root_busybox* .zip and Flash.
-Done !
PS : If you can't see superSU after flashing above file(sometimes happen if there is too low space like in LQ3 ROM, then use this Root_superSU, followed by same above Root_busybox file.
Immediately after This I recommend to
1.Backup EFS
2.Flash any safe kernel with mobile Odin.
UnRoot :
Busybox uninstaller - Flash in recovery
Complete unroot (busybox+Superuser) - Flash in recovery
2. Short, easy - requires to reset counter
-Download Odin (.tar) version of custom kernel like Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function. If newbies have confusion to select, here is one for example Notecore V12 std kernel. You can use this. But newer version can be found on link mentioned above.
-Flash it using PC odin for PDA tab.
-You will get exclamation mark and raised counter, which can be reset with Triangle Away
-First time opening triangle away application, it will ask to download file(flasher), let it complete. then choose to reset counter, it will restart in special recovery an finish job.
3. Long, No raised couter OR Exclamation mark
-Downgrade to Rootable GB ROM and Root it. OR Download This pre rooted GB ROM and flash using PC Odin
-Wipe cache, data and delvic cache from recovery
-Install Mobile Odin Pro
-Copy ICS ROM file in .tar (you want to flash) to Internal SD card (recommended, but you can have it on EXT too)
-Download Odin (.tar) version of custom kernel like Notecore, Speedmod, CF root kernel Or other any with same function. If newbies have confusion to select, here is one for example Notecore V12 std kernel. You can use this. But newer version can be found on link mentioned above.
-Open Mobile Odin Pro
-select open file
-Point to ROM file you have copied
(file name varies from image above, this is for demo purpose)
-All fiels will popup and feel automatically
-select kernel and point to custom kernel file you have copied
Tick 'Enable ever root' and 'Inject superuser(super SU) -(see image)
Flash.
Done!
First thing you should do after rooting is
-backup EFS folder ( you can use Ktool for that)
-to make some space (at least 15MB). You can safely remove google+, youtube and later install from market.
Now your device is full rooted, and use Titanium backup(or which you have used to backup) to restore
For Rooting on GB ROM, see post no 2 and 3.

How to Root/Unroot Older GB ROM + CWM
Rooting Older GB (Directly rootable) ROM
Now first thing someone newer like to know what is directly rootable and non rootable ROM
Directly rootable GB ROM is older release of ROM before Nov11, which can be root with zergrush exploit directly, without odin it (and so without exclamation mark and raising flash counter)
Which ROMs are directly rootable? and how do i know my ROM directly rootable or not?
Go to Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version. Note the string present there: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKJ4-CL641703 Here Red is your kernel version)
If it is one of below mentioned then proceed otherwise follow post #3
These are directly rootable ROM
If ROM having one of these kernels, then it is directly Rootable.
KJ1/KJ4/KJ6/KJ7/KJ8/KJA
KK1/KK2/KK3/KK4/KK5/KK6/KK9/KKA
KL1
KL3(few of KL3 only is directly rootable e.g. Indian KL3. so in case your KL3 cudn't get root with zergrush you should consider it as non directly rootable )
Rooting Procedure
Here procedure divided in two part
Part 1. For whom who just want to root device (you will have option to move to part two anytime)
Part 2. For those who want to Root + CWM (advance clockworkmode recovery, to use upgrade ROM / Nandroid backup restore) - Recommended
Part 1 : - Credit goes to DooMLoRD for his zirgrush exploit

Unrooting
Download This
-Extract - Execute - Rum Me unroot.bat (same as mentioned in part1)
PS : Unrooting by above tool may leave some footprint, so if you want to do it for warranty purpose then best way is to flash stock ROM using PC Odin followed by wipe.

Get root access on Newer GB ROM (non rootable directly)
Get root access on Newer GB ROM (non rootable directly)
Here as name suggest non rootable directly ROMs. guide is not for How to root it, but better we can term it, How to get root access on such newer ROM.
As i said if you ROM not having kernel as mentioned in previous post (#2), you have to consider your ROM as non rootable.
Available option to get root access on such ROMs
1. Flash Pre rooted ROM
As name suggest flashing This ROM with PC odin, you will have ready made Root + CWM. This ROM was modified by ChainFire (All credit goes to him only). And you can flash it using PC Odin without getting exclamation mark/raise flash counter.
Download :
http://d-h.st/HJM
Mirror
Installation method is same as flashing other rootable ROM described here
After flashing you will have Root + CWM
PS: This is first ever GB ROM, and you may notice some screen issue if your Note is newer, dont worry for that once you upate to newer ROM, this issue will go. You can now update to any newer GB ROM with keeping your root intact, mentioned in option 2 below.
2. Update Newer GB ROM using Mobile Odin / CWM
If you are currently on Rooted GB ROM, you can update to any newer GB (non rootable) ROM using PC Odin OR CWM with keeping your root intact.
Here is description available How to use Mobile Odin OR CWM to update newer ROM
After updating to newer ROM, you can flash CF root kernel from here
according to newer ROM kernel. And Flash it using Mobile Odin OR CWM.
I have Kernel KL7 - Download
I have kernel KL8 - Download
I have kernel LA1 - Download
I Have Kernel LA3 - Download
I have kernel LA4 - Download
I have kernel LA6 - Download
I have Kernel LB1 -Download
I have Kernel LC1 - Download

i can confirm, it works whit gt-n7000, kernel and binary counter untouched..

Method 2: Root + CWM recovery
Souce : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331784
Big Thanx to ChainFire - Donate chainFire
Here simplified Rooting and CWM recovery for Galaxy Note N7000
- Download Root package, see at end of post
- There are three folder
1. Initial CFroot flasher
2. Two other folder having zImage file , you need one only
Which file do I use ?
Listen closely, for I will say zis only once!
Go to Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version. Note the string present there:
2.6.35.7-N7000XXKJ4-CL641703
What matters most (KJ4) in this case, is in bold. Try to find the matching file
e.g. CF-Root-SGN_XX_XEN_KJ4-v5.0-CWM4.zip)
so choose accordingly
- Place the zImage file accordingly in folder 1.initial CFroot flasher /zImage folder
- Start "already-rooted.bat" and follow the instructions If you are Rooted already
OR
- Start "not-rooted-yet.bat" and follow the instructions.
Note : Just below this, where you download actual flash programme, that includes initial CF root as well i have already placed zimage accordingly.

(Note : Who are on Linux look to End of this post)
New method edit 19Feb12
If you fail to Root with aove method, You can try this
Keep you mobile debugging on, connect to PC and use tool mention above
2. I Want ROOT + CWM
I will do with PC (all credits goes to Chainfire for making Cf root kernel)
Which kernel You have?
(Go to Settings -> About phone -> Kernel Version. Note the string present there: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXKJ4-CL641703 Here Red is kernel version)
I have Kernel KJ1 - Download This– and Extract

I will Go with Mobile Odin option (No PC needed)
After root with above mention method, Go to Market download this, Again Thnx to great ChainFire
https://market.android.com/details?...xLDEsImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5tb2JpbGVvZGluLnBybyJd
Now place CF root kernel to your Int/Ext memory, N flash with Mobile Odin Pro
Tip: Just to note that, who have to use root for application purpose e.g.Root explorer, titanium backup etc, they shud select 'I want just Root' option. these all application will work, as well stock recovery also will work like reset, wipe cache partition, wipe data
You shud only apply CWM, if really you are need to backup/restore firmware, regularly updating ROM, using ChainFire application(which need CF root)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CF Root ICS ROM
N7000XXLPY - CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LPY-v5.3-CWM5.zip
Extract till zImage N flash Kernel using Mobile Odin Pro
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now How I can revert back to Stock ROM/Unroot (In case of replacemet may i need)
I you have Just rooted only but not added CWM - Just Download this Extract - Execute - Rum Me unroot.bat
If You have Root + CWM - then first find out original stock kernel (zImage file)
Now place this file in zImage folder, n repeat procedure(Initial CFRoot Flasher), which you have done at time of pushing CWM by selecting I am rooted already
Now unroot with above said unrooting tool.

If you have the Samsung Galaxy S2, then you are in the wrong forum.
You need to be here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1055

I have not updated my signature yet, yes I own a GN.

I'm in!
Hi there,
Me too, I can confirm that the described rooting method is working fine!
At start I did have an issue with the CDC something driver wanting to be installed, but that can be solved by installing the KIES software for the phone, that can be downloaded from the Samsung website.
Regards,

Worked like a charm.... thanks!
Worked like a charm.... thanks!

Thanks for the tip. The KIES software from Samsung had the ADB driver that was needed.
And it worked very well.
You can Download KIES Here
It feels like doing startcraft on my phone. Haha.

Easy Rooting Toolkit - GT-I9000 edition

Based on: [ROOTING/UNROOTING] DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v1.0](zergRush Exploit)
DooMLoRD UNROOTING Script v1.0
it should work/root any Gingerbread at least till 2.3.5 ... we do not have 2.3.6 to test =)
reported not working on XXJPY Froyo ...
Changelog for v103:
+ updated zergRush binary for today's update (21-11-2011)
+ updated Superuser.apk to 3.0.7
Changelog for v102 from DooMLoRD version:
+ modified to free up space for binaries and apps by removing PowerOn.wav and bootsamsung.qmg from /system/ (bootsound and bootanimation)
+ updated Superuser.apk to 3.0.6
+ updated busybox to 1.19.3
+ updaated zergRush binary to latest version for 02.11.2011
Download:
>>> GT-I9000v103.7z <<< - gt-i9000 modified toolkit - LATEST
>>> GT-I9000v102.7z <<< - gt-i9000 modified toolkit
do not get scared of lot +++ LOG: write failed (errno=14) seems to be working anyways
How to restore bootsound and bootanimation:
*) deleted PowerOn.wav and bootsamsung.qmg files are locared in /data/local/tmp/
1) to restore PowerOn.wav and bootsamsung.qmg you first need to free up space in /system/
tutorial by BlackDalmatian
=> install "Mount /system (rw / ro)" (utility from the market)
=> set /system as RW with this utility
=> install "Android Terminal Emulator" (utility from the market)
=> copy the two files with cp command
=> change permissions to 644 with chmod
(you can use any file explorer but DO NOT FORGET TO SET PERMISIONS)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2) fastest way to do it is by removing google apps - you can do it with this tool
[UTIL][25/AUG/11] Samsung Galaxy S Chlorine (or cwm update bloat remover generator)
3) after that just push files to their proper locations:
/system/etc/PowerOn.wav
/system/media/bootsamsung.qmg
4) and mow redownload all google apps you need via market,
this time they will be installed to /data/app/ not /system/app/
so no more problems with not enought space =)
Hi!
Do you think it works for my version of Galaxy S?

i think that Revolution Team claaims that this exploid works on all froyo and gingerbreads ... i can confirm that it works on I9000XXJVT =)

Thanks again , now im going to copy the EFS folder .
Bye!
no, the script aint superperfect so it does not stop if there are some errors during the process - if ill find time maybe ill update it a bit
but if youve got su seems ok
shot me a pm if you would have any problems :]
I'm waiting daemon started sucessfully and no response yet how much time this takes?

Full root for A50x ICS 4.0.3[LEAK]. Simple method.

Original article is published on this site and created by ZeroNull and vdsirotkin (4pda.ru).
For A500 and A501 ICS[LEAK] firmware.
How to:
1. The tablet should be already upgraded to stock ICS for A50x (or stock ICS A10x/A510 for other tablets).
2. Download this archive on the computer. Unpack it to any place.
3, On a tablet: "Settings" -> "Applications" -> "Development" -> "USB debugging" switch on.
4. Сonnect the tablet to the computer (Before connection it is recommended to update the driver for a tablet from here: A10x, A50x, A510).
5. Open the directory with the unpacked archive. Execute file: for windows - runit-win.bat; for Linux - runit-linux.sh.
The root is received!
6. Now you will have to install the following programs:
SuperUser APK
Titanium Backup
ATTENTION!
Don't install Busybox! It is already installed and established! If you reinstall it, some programs will become unable to access root permissions!
Change:
The error of final check of receiving root is corrected (The messaging that "root" isn't received, though it was not so)
Support of A510 of tablets is improved
This method uses the 'mempodroid' exploit and some workings out by ZeroNull and vdsirotkin (4pda.ru).
PS: Command "Mount ro/rw" for directory /system (partition) - works perfectly!
PS2: Sorry for the Russian language in the old executable file, the archive has been confused

How exactly?! Surely you'd need a patched kernel for that. The bash scripts in the zip file are incredibly complicated
Aw com'on. One of you guys install the full 500 ICS, and see if this works!
Then see if you can push a recovery image.

I just flash my Acer A500 with Acer_AV041_A500_0.019.00_WW_GEN1
This method works with my. I can use titanium backup and superuser. Thank you!
But I don't know how to test push a recovery image.
below is my way to root.
I use windows Vista.
1. On a tablet: "Settings" -> "Development" -> "USB debugging" switch on.
2. Сonnect the tablet to the computer.
3. Unpack the files. then put ICS_rooting folder in c:\ (I try unpack in other place not work)
4. then run runit-win.bat by run as adminstrator.
Done
This seemed to work for me on Acer_AV041_A500_0.009.00_WW_GEN1
Thanks a lot.
I have installed Acer_AV041_A500_0.019.00_WW_GEN1 and aquired root using this method.
I will try to push CWM or RA recovery.
The root access works perfectly. I just deinstalled all acer bloatware and other stuff.
Edit:
The strange part was, I could not get the ADB interface working on my laptop. When I switched my Acer from MTP (Media Device) to PTP (Camera device), found in storage settings, the ADB interface showed up in my device list under Windows 7. Then after a driver install, it worked perfectly.
When I switch back to MTP, the ADB interface disappears again.

Thank you.
It didnt work for my acer, I meant it wasnt fully rooted. I saw superuser but when in Acer Receovery Installer, it says that Bootloader version 0.03.11-ISC is locked or something. Now I cant install any other rom as it got stucked at boot screen (receovery mode) with a message "Recovery verified failed". Anyone, please help me.
I need to use USB 3G on this tablet with this ISC or please help me downgrade to 3.2.1.
Many thanks

Take a look at my A500 APX Flash Tool with the patched bootloader, recovery and kernel package. That will get you ClockworkMod. To downgrade take a look at Timmydean's 3.2.1 downgrade package
Hi, will it work on ACER_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1 ?

How about the unroot part of things anyway to do that? For peeps that need warranty related things to be done?

Wolf's ultimate flash and downgrade guide (NO ROOT NEEDED) (root opportunity for .21)

WARNING
This method will not work on any JB rom available, apparently google has patched the exploit.​
Note that downgrading method for unrooted devices is highly experimental and may turn your device into worthless brick. Read this WHOLE thread carefully before you start doing anything with your Transformer.
MOD EDIT: It is reported that this method doesn't work with the new Jelly Bean firmwares on the TF201 and the TF300T,
Sorry, but I will not be able to support you between 3rd and 15th of May because I have to pass my final exams.
However feel free to post your questions in this topic I am sure that somebody will be able to help you.​

Description​Method 1 - Rooted Devices
This method allows you to flash any update released by ASUS without need for custom recovery.
ROOT is required to unlock mmcblk0p4 write access for dd.
Method 2 - UnRooted Devices
This method allows you to flash any update released by ASUS, no mater for SKU etc.
It uses file linking trick to unlock mmcblk0p4 write access even when su is not present.
Method 3 - UnRooted Devices - Recommended
This method allows you to directly flash the recovery even on unrooted device. This may be used next to root your TF by prepared su package.
It uses file linking trick to unlock mmcblk0p4 write access.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Disclaimer​
Despite both methods have been confirmed (by myself) to work, the whole process of flashing mmcblk0p4 with dd brings high risk of bricking device by for example file system corruption.
I do not take any responsibility for damaged or bricked devices. Before flashing you have to assume the risk and chances of geting bricked.
Under no circumstances should you brake cmd during blob file is flashed by dd. If that happens do not reboot. PM me and go on IRC

Notes​Sorry for the mistakes, but English is not my native language PM me if you find any so I will be able to correct them.
Before posting a question look into FAQ maybe it have been already answered.
Guide is inspired by Turge who wrote similar article for TFP (link here). However whole 2nd method was invented and described by me.

Instructions - Method 1 - Rooted​1. Upload the BLOB file to internal storage of your tab. (mounted as /sdcard)
2. Connect tablet to the computer and start ADB session.
3. When you will be in adb shell execute following comands:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
4. The command prompt will be empty as wnen nothing happen, do not panic wait until the end of the process. DO NOT INTERRUPT (it will take apx.3-10 min)
5. When you see the following message:
Code:
1066806+1 records in
1066806+1 records out
546204969 bytes transferred in 250.309 secs (2182122 bytes/sec)
(the numbers in resulted message may be diffrent but it has to have the same structure)
You can safety reboot the device by exiting shell and executing :
Code:
adb reboot
6. Once rebooted you will see ASUS EeePAD flashing progress bar. Be patient and wait till the end.
7. Tablet will reboot itself and start loading new system. (as it is first boot it may take few minutes)
8. Be happy from your new firmware.
ADDITIONAL OPTIONAL STEP
In some cases flashing previous firmware leaves data partition intact.
I suggest to clean it by booting with [vol down] and [power] pressed (you will see the info about the rom). Than wait until the screen with android and wipe data appear. Select wipe by switching with [vol down] and accepting with [vol up] pressed two times. It mostly happen when downgrading to HC from ICS.

Instructions - Method 2 - UnRooted​1. Upload the BLOB file to internal storage of your tab. (mounted as /sdcard)
2. Connect tablet to the computer and start ADB shell session.
3. When you will be in adb shell execute following commands:
Code:
mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /data/local/tmp
exit
4. Now reboot your tab through:
Code:
adb reboot
5. Once you see ASUS loading screen you should be able to start ADB shell session again (if not just wait), than (in shell) execute:
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
6. The command prompt will be empty as wnen nothing happen, do not panic wait until the end of the process. DO NOT INTERRUPT (it will take apx.3-10 min)

Instructions - Method 3 - UnRooted
This will definitely not work with Transformer Prime continue only if you are owner of TF101 of TF101G​
1. Upload the RECOVERYBLOB file to internal storage of your tab. (mounted as /sdcard)
2. Connect tablet to the computer and start ADB shell session.
3. When you will be in adb shell execute following commands:
Code:
mv /data/local/tmp /data/local/tmp.bak
ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /data/local/tmp
exit
4. Now reboot your tab through:
Code:
adb reboot
5. Once you see ASUS loading screen you should be able to start ADB shell session again (if not just wait), than (in shell) execute (some times it gets longer, but do not panic it is normal):
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryblob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
6. The command prompt will be empty as when nothing happen, do not panic wait until the end of the process. DO NOT INTERRUPT (it will take apx.3-10 min)
7. When you see the following message:
Code:
8860+1 records in
8860+1 records out
4536396 bytes transferred in 1.718 secs (2640509 bytes/sec)
(the numbers in resulted message may be different but it has to have the same structure)
You can safety reboot the device by exiting shell and executing :
Code:
adb reboot
8. Once rebooted you will see ASUS EeePAD flashing progress bar. Be patient and wait till the end.
9. Tablet will reboot itself and start loading new system. (as it is first boot it may take few minutes)
10. Be happy from your new recovery.
ADDITIONAL - ROOTING
11. Download this SU + Superuser.apk package and place it on internal memory or microsd
12. Boot to recovery. (turn off your TF and than boot with [vol down]+[power] pressed, once you see the letters identifying the system press [vol up]
13. Now you should be in custom recovery. Select 'Install from zip file' and then select the file on desired location internal or external.
14. Once flashing is done go back and select 'Reboot system'
15. Now you got freshly rooted Transformer. ENJOY

BLOBs​
BLOB file can be extracted from any update file. It is contained inside XX_epad-user-x.x.x.x.zip achive. Where XX (e.g WW or TW) refers to SKU of firmware and x.x.x.x to its version (e.g 9.2.2.3)
Or you can pick up a few here
Now they are ziped to reduce the sizes (MD5 value shows the control sum of each blob not zip) (sorry for hostings but I don't have space on dropbox any more, you may register to increase) (if you know faster mirror PM me)

Hope it will help
Results​Confirmed to work on both TF101/G (ASUS Transformer) and TF201 (ASUS Transformer Prime)
However keep in mind that TFP have to be locked in order to use second method otherwise you may brick your device.
It probably can be used with slider as well
I also confirmed that it is possible to root any official OTA (on TF101/G) by flashing recoveryblob containing custom recovery and than update.zip with su and superuser app.
Proven that Method 2 also work with 9.2.1.21 update to downgrade the software and reroot device. - thanks alvin612.
Method 2 may also work on locked Transformer Prime however be careful and read warning and disclaimer in this thread.

Click 'Thanks' if I helped you
Let me just say this: you are a freaking genius. I didn't even think of symlinking /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 to /data/local/tmp so it would change ownership and permissions on reboot. This is f*ing brilliant!
Moreover, if you have a blob for CWM you can also use the second method to install it on an unrooted device and then root it using the customary update.zip with su and superuser.apk (yes, even on 9.2.2.3 TF101Gs).
Again, great job!
A big **sigh**, finally a solution for non-root users/ non-NVflash-ables to get back. I am rooted and will always be as long as the expliot is there but this should help many, many non-rooted people that are frustrated with ICS.
Many thanks.
Worth more than just using the thankometer - thanks for this.

OK, easy come on #asus-transformer at webchat.freenode.net will try to manage something.
OMG you saved my transformer!!!
Long story short, my tablet, as of 20mins ago, was in such an awkward status:
- has su and superuser.apk in /system/xbin
- all root checker apps say I'm NOT rooted
- on stock recovery but stock images put on external SD card won't get recognized
- whenever an app requests root, it got automatically denied by SuperUser.
and I saw this post....I'm back on 9.2.17 stock now!!
Thanks a million! ln -s...genius!!
Nice exploit! I knew there was a way!

Sorry for asking. If I use this method on my tf101 to roll back to HC will it solve reboot and SoD problems?

It should, that depends whether you had such issues on HC. If you did not than by downgrading you should get rid of them.

Thank you very much, i'm back on 8.6.6.23 from 9.2.2.23. The only thing i had, after the flashing Android want not boot. I made a wipe and everything is ok.
Thank you again.

Messing with a friends old DX

So, just to give a brief intro here... I used to have a DX, first buying it way back in its Eclair days, but have since (regretfully) moved to a D3. Trying to make the best of Moto's D3 flop, I've become pretty active over in the D3 sub-forum and have begun to learn the basics (I stress this, I ported a Bell Canada 2.3.6 ROM to the US D3 with 2.3.4, added light theming and 1% battery mods with assistance) of ROM creation and theming. I'm comfortable with RSD Lite and other programs like that.
Now, for this DX, I'm attempting to root it with Pete's 1 Click (Verision 1.06) which says it has worked on the DX. It fails on Step 3 pushing SU, BusyBox, etc. I thought the MotoFail method for the D4, Bionic, etc. which works for the D3 may work, so I attempted that, but it too failed on the same step. Just this morning I updated it to OTA 4.5.621, could this be the issue?
My friend has since crossed over to the dark side (iOS), so I want to make a nandroid backup of this phone as is, back up his SD cards, then wipe everything and play around with ICS on the DX since ICS on the D3 isn't a daily driver yet IMO, but I still want to mess with ICS.
Any advice about rooting .621? Also, does the DX only have BootStrap, or does a SafeStrap style hijack exist as well?
EDIT:
Ok, after some more Google'ing, I've found I need to root with Linux, and not windows because I've "accidentally" taken .621 OTA. I have a second HDD in my desktop with Ubuntu 12.04, so I should be able to follow a guide to root via Linux from that machine, correct?

So, for tethering, all I need is WiFi Tether from the Play Store? On the D3, we have to use a Moto proprietary program called RadioComm to rewrite the radio's data type signatures so that all 3G data through the phone looks as if it's phone use 3G and not tethered data.
Also, I'm looking for an ICS ROM... Suggestions?

I literally just went through this process and it worked perfectly. Try SBFing to .621 again then do the Ubuntu steps again then use zergrush v3. That's exactly what I did.

Yep, yep, and yep. Would I possibly be able to manually root via ADB? I have it set up and connected now, the problem lies in that I can't really find much about manual roots any longer.

I don't think you can manually root on .621. Have you tried another computer, or have you tried zergrush v3?

Just go here and read the instructions. Once you've taken the .621 update it's a bit of a process to regain root, but totally doable.

Just go here and read the instructions. Once you've taken the .621 update it's a bit of a process to regain root, but totally doable.

I took the .621 OTA, booted Ubuntu 12.04 from my 2nd HDD, SBF'd to Milestone X in Ubuntu, went over to Windows 7 64bit HP, ran ZergRush v4, ZergRush v3, Pete's Moto Root Tools, and MotoFail, all of which failed to root. I then used RSD Lite to apply the .621 SBF (I'm now questioning if I should've done this via Ubuntu), went into Ubuntu, did the MX SBF, tried all rooting methods above and failed.
Then I tried rooting via ADB and I believe I successfully pushed su, busybox, and Superuser.apk to /data/local via ADB, but when issuing "adb remount", I'm unable to mount /system as read-write. I'm applying the .621 SBF via RSD Lite currently and having my second guesses about this doing this via RSD now...
This one via RSD 1FF-p3a_shadow_cdma_shadow-user-2.3.4-4.5.1_57_DX8-51-120111-test-keys-signed-Verizon-US.sbf

Oh man I feel for you redsox985. I love my Droid x and I wish that I could help. But the only thing I can reccomend is try sbfing in windows with the newest version of red lite. And then when it is done or tries to reboot, or then bootloops is to unplug the phone. Boot into the stock recovery or whatever you call it (you get to it by pressing the home and power until you see the android dude and exclamation point. Then you push either search or back. It varies with the version.) Then you want to wipe data and cache. Then try rebooting. It has worked for me in the past when I have come out of 2nd init roms.
If you have tried that then I am sorry. I can't help anymore.
OK here we go... I hope...
1. Boot into windows. I used 7, but whatever.
2. Then download rsd lite 5.x.x and download the Droix X .621 sbf file.
3. Enter download mode on the dx and connect it to the computer.
4. Sbf your phone in rsd lite to .621.
5. Unplug your phone.
6. Pull the battery of your phone.
7. Hold down POWER AND HOME until you see the triangle with exclamation point.
8. Click both the VOLUME UP AND DOWN buttons
9. This is stock recovery.
10. Wipe data/Factory reset.
11. Reboot.
12. Verify it works (connect to wifi, browse a few sites, etc.)
13. Start Ubuntu and follow the guide for sbfing to the Milestone X file.
***back to windows****
14. Root using Zergrush *****v3*****!!!!
15. Install the bootstrap .apk
***on the phone****
16. Install clockwork mod
17. Flash whatever you want*
*Nothing below 2.3.5. Definitely NO Froyo
If this doesn't work I'll walk you through it while IMing or texting or something. If I can follow the steps I can figure it out.

[14/Feb][ROOTING/UNROOTING] DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit [v1.0] (Insecure Kernels)

[ Info ]
(WINDOWS ONLY)
hi guys so i keep getting requests to create rooting kits for specific devices... so i have created a generic rootkit package which should work on any device which has INSECURE KERNEL already installed/flashed... and as a bonus i am also linking to an unrooting script!
it should work on any Andorid version (GB and above)
before we begin let me tell you that there is nothing new in the steps which this rootkit takes, its pretty standard stuff... i have created this only because i was getting numerous request for such a toolkit...
THIS ASSUMES THAT YOU HAVE INSECURE KERNEL FLASHED ONTO YOUR DEVICE (most cases this is possible only if bootloader is unlockable)
Creating insecure kernel for your device is beyond the scope of this thread.
How to use this toolkit:
just download the attached file
extract it using winzip/winrar/7zip to a folder on C:\
go to the folder where its extracted and execute "RUNME.bat"
read and follow the instructions on the screen!
Code:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Easy rooting toolkit (v1.0)
created by DooMLoRD
for in-secure kernels
Credits go to all those involved in making this possible!
---------------------------------------------------------------
[*] This script will:
(1) root ur device assuming that you have an in-secure kernel (ro.secure=0) installed on your device
(2) install Busybox (1.18.4)
(3) install SU files (SuperSU)
(4) do some checks for free space, tmp directory (will remove Google Maps if required)
[*] Before u begin:
(1) make sure u have installed adb drivers for ur device
(2) enable "USB DEBUGGING"
from (Menu\Settings\Applications\Development)
(3) enable "UNKNOWN SOURCES"
from (Menu\Settings\Applications)
(4) [OPTIONAL] increase screen timeout to 10 minutes
(5) connect USB cable to PHONE and then connect to PC
---------------------------------------------------------------
[ Tested on ]
since its a generic toolkit it should work on any device, i will try and maintain a list at that following post:
Tested & Reported to be working on the THESE devices
