These instructions are not solely my own and are adapted from miloj’s Windows based instructions found here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
Thank you miloj for the instructions!
This guide is intended to help noobs with rooting their TF300T device with a Mac. I am probably a half step above noob, so please don’t expect perfection.
Read this these instructions straight through, maybe even a couple of times before you begin to make sure you fully understand what you are doing.
I am not responsible for any bricked devices, malfunctions, etc. and most likely will not be able to problem solve much for you. Hopefully, the real geniuses here on XDA will jump in should you need extra help.
First off, make sure you have Android SDK and ADB installed. Follow these instructions skipping the Eclipse installation step (unless you plan on developing apps and such):
http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html
Save these files wherever makes sense to you and once done open up the folder containing adb in file explorer and leave open. This should be in the SDK>platform-tools folder.
Now for miloj’s instructions with some Mac specific extras and for sake of ease:
Download the debugfs and su binary files provided by miloj first from here:
http://db.tt/FBUNeVmo
Again, save these files where it makes sense to you and then open up the containing folder in file explorer and leave open.
Make sure “usb debugging” is turned on on your Asus TF300T by going to Settings>Developer options and check the USB debugging options.
Make sure you device is plugged into your Mac via usb cable. Now find out if our Mac recognizes your device.
Open up terminal from your utilities.
Organize your Terminal and folder containing adb on your workspace so you can easily access both. Click, hold, and drag the adp icon and drop it into the Terminal window. This will allow you to you immediately move into the adb command without having to type in the complete destination. Your line should end with “…/adb” now type in the command devices and hit return/enter.
NOTE – from here on out assume after every command you hit “return” or “enter”
It will look something like this:
Code:
…adb devices
the response should read:
List of devices attached
{serial number} devices
If nothing is listed, then you either didn’t activate USB debugging or your adb isn’t up to date, start again from the top.
If it showed your device, then lets move forward.
Now we have to push over the debugfs file and the su file (superuser). Make sure you can see Terminal and both open file explorer windows listed above all visible on your workspace.
Again, click, hold, drag the adb into Terminal and then complete the following commands by typing the command (in this case “push”) in between adb and the proper file and then typing in the location you want it pushed to on the device: (*note: dragging and dropping the “debugfs”file where it says “debugfs” – your file destination path name will be shown, not just debugfs)
Code:
adb push debugfs /data/local/
In the command above you would drag into Terminal the adb file then type push, drag in the debugfs file then type in “/data/local/” all with spaces in between. Every time you read in a “Code” section “adb” you are going to follow this procedure with the adb icon/file. Now, rinse and repeat moving forward.
Then this command (dragging and dropping the “su”file where it says “su” – your file destination path name will be shown, not just su)
Code:
adb push su /data/local/
now you have debugfs and su on your device.
You now have to have Terminal take control and run commands in your device by using this command:
Code:
adb shell
once in you will have a line starting with a “$” and you type in the following commands to gain root access: (type them exactly as written)
Code:
cd /data/local/
mv tmp tmp.back
ln -s /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 tmp
exit
The “exit” takes you back into your Mac, now reboot your device through adb:
Code:
adb reboot
WAIT UNTIL THE TF300T HAS BOOTED UP AGAIN!
Now get back into the device:
Code:
adb shell
Continue with the following commands after the “$” symbol:
Code:
cd /data/local
toolbox chmod 755 /data/local/debugfs
/data/local/debugfs -w /data/local/tmp
Now you’re going to run the debugfs files. Make sure you are writing these all in EXACTLY as written. All lines preceeded by “debugfs:” you will type in the following:
Code:
cd xbin
rm su
write /data/local/su su
set_inode_field su mode 0106755
set_inode_field su uid 0
set_inode_field su gid 0
quit
Now, back in to lines starting with “$” and run these:
Code:
rm /data/local/tmp
mv /data/local/tmp.back /data/local/tmp
exit
Now reboot:
Code:
adb reboot
WAIT UNTIL THE TF300T HAS BOOTED UP AGAIN
You are rooted! Congratulations!
Let’s double check and do some clean up:
Code:
adb shell
From the line “$” type these commands for double check:
Code:
/system/xbin/su
Now the line is a hash tag “#” and type
Code:
id
The Terminal response should read something like this:
id=0 (root) gid=0 (root) … and so forth
Clean up:
Code:
rm /data/local/su
rm /data/local/debugfs
Done with Terminal.
Now, open up the Play store and download the Superuser app immediately. Once it is installed, open the app and go into the settings. Under the heading “GENERAL” Tap the “Su binary v…” to check for updates and update the app.
You are now rooted, you have Superuser control.
Let me know how this works for you!!!

Good stuf, just wait firsts feedbacks about this process :good:
Inserted in the Index for TF 300t
Guess i'm the only person who either owns a Mac here or has tried this but...
First time Terminal user and first time ASUS owner. Was a bit iffy doing it. Read through the TF300 board for weeks and was scared as sh#t to mess with this but...
it works!! Thank you so much. :good:

I'm glad it was easy for you! I am not a pro Terminal user by any stretch of the imagination! I am a first time ASUS owner as well, and have only rooted 2 phones and worked on rooting another (the phone ended up being software updated via Verizon to the point of unrootable that I could find or figure out). I am a Mac user and do not have easy access to a Windows PC and figured there were plenty of other Mac users noob to rooting. Apparently, that lists is you and me!!!
Thanks for the feedback, though! Congrats on your root!!
...too dificult for me,
Thanks.

It sounds intimidating, I know, trust me when I say this is rather easy! The first time I rooted my phone I was quite worried! I read the instructions a few times and took my time though and it was really quite easy! Read the instructions a few times and you'll be alright. If you start to have trouble come back here or to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704209 and ask for answers.
not working as expected
Sorry to bother you with noob's problems.
I think I unlocked my TF300T ww Jelly Bean 4.2.1 allright.
I moved debugfs and su and other files to /data/local/ through bluetooth 'cause I wasn't able to do it in any other way.
The process worked fine up to here:
mv tmp tmp.back
Then I got this message:
[email protected]:/data/local $ mv tmp tmp.back
failed on 'tmp' - Permission denied
also, when pressing Power + Vol Down and then Vol Up to choose RCK it just dies (lying android with red triangle)

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS YOU CAUSE!
So you are stumbling around XDA and you really want some kind of app or something, but you think you cant because you have a Mac, well I am here to tell you wrong.
The biggest and most used mistake for mac users when trying to use ADB is this:
HTML:
Inas-iMac:~ Hans$ /AndroidSDk/tools
-bash: /AndroidSDk/tools: is a directory
Inas-iMac:~ Hans$
Well this is how you do it!
Watch this!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLAMG4xU_lE
To make your phone go into debug mode go to settings/applications/development and check debug
DO NOT MOUNT PHONE! Just let it be
I did not go to deep into the process because this is made for complete beginners!
Why not follow the official SDK install instructions and add the path to bash_profile..
developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html#Installing
In my opinion that's not too hard for a newbie.. (i managed to do that) And after doing that you don't need to change directories with cd command, you can just type adb whatevercommand from your home dir which is the default location when you open the terminal.
Drag and drop is a little a fail.... one can add "alias" (linux can do it, probably mac too)
Little How-to:
Code:
$ nano ./bashrc
add and adapt the following line to bashrc:
Code:
alias adb="/home/carbonyle/android-sdk-linux_86/tools/adb"
now you just have to type "adb" from a terminal emulator to run it, eg:
Code:
$ adb shell
# reboot recovery
or
Code:
adb install ./Download/myFavortiteApp.apk
and so on...
ps: we don't need to "adb remount" at worst we can just "adb kill-server" then "adb start-server" if the device is not accessible
I'm lost as hell. I found this thread:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/06...credible-next/
I did the unrevoked thing and I see this icon called SuperUser Permissions in my app list.
Am I able to proceed and fully root or do I have to re-do the root with the Toast method? This looks too complicated and by the way I tried the ./adb thing on my mac and I get errors saying "No such file or directory".

adb isn't installed on a Mac out of the box; You'll need to go download the Android SDK. Untar it somewhere (I put it in ~/), then open a term, do:
Code:
cents-macbook-pro:~ $ cd android-sdk-mac_86/tools/
cents-macbook-pro:~/android-sdk-mac_86/tools $ ./adb

Massive Brain Freeze.. What do you mean by "(I put it in ~/)"?
I downloaded the Android SDK already. I understand what terminal is so when I download the Android SDK where do I place it?
Am I pointing terminal to the directory? Android SDK is currently in a folder on my desktop.

~ in most flavors of Unix/Linux is short for your home directory. In MacOS, ~ is /Users/<username>. *nix pro-tip:
Code:
cents-macbook-pro:~ $ echo ~
/Users/cent
So in my case, ~ is short for /Users/cent.
If it's on your desktop, open a terminal and type:
Code:
cd ~/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_86/tools
-OR-
Code:
cd /Users/cent/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_86/tools
And then you can proceed to issue your adb commands. Just remember to prefix it with "./", which tells MacOS to look in the current directory for the adb command.
Code:
cents-macbook-pro:~/android-sdk-mac_86/tools $ ./adb devices
List of devices attached
HT05RHL1XXXX device
Ok. I think I'm just going to pay someone to do this for me. I'm getting a migraine.
So I'm basically typing the below:
~/android-sdk-mac_86/tools $ ./adb devices (Do I type this in one line)
List of devices attached
HT05RHL1XXXX device
I ran the thing and it doesn't show my phone listed.
I've got the time, if you have the money!
1. Make sure USB debugging is enabled. On your phone, go to Settings -> Applications -> Development, and make sure "USB debugging" is checked.
2. Make sure your USB cable is connected to your phone and computer.
3. Open a terminal
4. Type "cd ~/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_86/tools" and press enter.
5. Type "./adb devices" and press enter.
If it lists your device, you're then good to go to start following the rooting instructions!
You're the best dude. It was the USB debugging that was giving me the problem.
Good deal man, glad you got that part worked out! Have fun getting your root on!
this is the easiest way to do it....it worked for me

Do i have to keep dubugging mode on or can I turn it off before I root it. I did the command:
"cd ~/Desktop/android-sdk-mac_86/tools"
and then
adb push PC36IMG.zip /sdcard (Doesn't do anything. I tried without the space and some stuff popped up. Can I just manually put it on my SDcard?

Debugging mode needs to stay on if you want to use adb. You can turn it off once you root, but it won't hurt to leave it on.
The push command should tell you the number of bytes transfered. You need to make sure that the file you are pushing is in the current directory you're in (tools), or manually enter the path, like "./adb push ~/Downloads/PC36IMG.zip /sdcard"
But yes, you can mount the card as a disk drive and copy the file there in Finder.
For those of you with Mac OSX or Linux, you can root it using this method:
Step 1. Go to Settings->More->Device and make sure “Allow Installation of Applications” is checked “ON”.
Step 2. Connect your Kindle Fire to your computer via micro-USB cable. And hit “Disconnect” to turn off the USB disk drive mode.
Step 3. Download KindleFireRootMacLinux.zip and unzip to the root directory of your hard disk such as c:\KindleFireRoot.
Download KindleFireRootMacLinux.zip
Step 4. Open up a terminal.
Step 5. Browse to the KindleFireRootMacLinux directory by typing:
cd Downloads/KindleFireRootLinux
Step 6. Type:
mkdir ~/.android
cp adb_usb.ini ~/.android/.
*Note – You might have to add “sudo” for Ubuntu
Step 7. Type:
For Mac:
./adb-mac kill-server
./adb-mac devices
For Linux:
./adb-linux kill-server
./adb-linux devices
If you get a bunch of numbers and letters, that means you are good to go.
Step 8. Type:
For Mac:
sh runmemac.sh
For Linux:
sh runmelinux.sh
Step 9. Your Kindle Fire should do its rooting and reboot.
You can verify you have SuperUser app by going to Settings->More->Applications->All Applications.
Yay!
I do not have anything show up when I do the devices command. I am running a mac.

What do you get?
Did you do this step?
cp adb_usb.ini ~.android/.
soundslikemitch
I had this issue as well and zedomax is correct, you have to make sure that this file resides in your own $HOME/.android folder. While cp adb_usb.ini ~.android/. works you may want to try 'cp adb_usb.ini $HOME/.android` as well. I also had the issue where my fire wasn't being shown while executing ./adb devices which required me to reboot and then it seemed to start getting picked up without issue.
Hope this helps and thanks zedomax for the tutorial
There's a problem with the original instructions: adb needs to be restarted after editing adb_usb.ini. You need to run
./adb-mac kill-server
or
./adb-linux kill-server
to make it work without rebooting your computer.

thanks forgot to put that in the instructions, fixed!
Moving it to my home folder in .android worked!
But apparently this broke the video store.
No-go for me. Tried all above instructions and nothing shows up in devices. The thing that had me thrown off a bit is the instructions don't exactly match.
I want to follow exactly so is step 6 necessary since the zip file already has the android directory with the file already in it?

I figured out how to fix the video store. Amazon seems to be looking for the existence of the file /system/bin/su so just rename it if you want to watch videos.
i.e.
Code:
mv /system/bin/su /system/bin/su2
reboot
I am still able to type "su2" and get root and I am able to play videos.
Another solution is installed voodoo OTA rootkeeper (free) from the market place. Once installed you can temporarily remove root, then restart the amazon video service and voila. Once the service is started you can re-enable root for the duration that the service is active (not rebooted) you will have root and amazon video.
you have "mkdir ~.android"
The more common syntax, and what worked for me as your syntax didn't, is:
mkdir ~/.android
This is under Mac OS X 10.6.8
None of these instructions have worked for me, I have spent countless hours trying to do this via Windows (the windows tutorial) and on mac. My device never shows up and it does not root. I have tried restarting my fire, unplugging and plugging back in, etc. I am running Lion 10.7.1. Please help, if possible, pm me so we can chat via Google Chat or something.
Also had the same problem (with Lion 1.7.2 ): Waiting for device...
I used this commands to get it working: (first you have to follow instructions from zedomax step 1-5)
cd downloads/
cd KindleFireRootMacLinux/
mkdir ~/.android
cp adb_usb.ini ~/.android
./adb-mac kill-server
./adb-mac devices
after device is shows up enter:
sh runmemac.sh
After this the KF will reboot and get rooted!
The OSX instructions did not work for me either. I ended up busting out my Windows Laptop and followed the guide and programs from rootkindlefire.com

Doesnt work, it still does not show up under devices and the command runemac.sh just says it is waiting for the device.
I don't know why this may work, but try adding a trailing slash to the cp command; cp adb_usb.ini ~/.android/
Also, this works great under (Sabayon) Linux. Very great little script you have here. Only way it could be easier would be if it did the copying and all that on its own.
The problem I had was that the terminal kept saying "waiting for device." I originally downloaded the "KindleFireRootMacLinux" folder to my desktop. I substituted "desktop" for "download" in the prompts. I tried to root it at least 10 times with no success. The terminal never recognized my kindle. Then I moved the "KindleFireRootMacLinux" folder to the "Downloads" folder and it worked the first time. I'm assuming that some of the code is looking in the downloads folder. Try to move it there and see if that works.

Dude! Thanks so much for pointing out the syntax issue. I tried to do this for nearly an hour... couldn't get it to see my device. But after adding the "/" as you so cleverly suggested, voila. Success!

root ran ok
should su show up in apps? Nevermind found it
I searched for the voodoo file and it doesn't show up in the app store. If its on the Android Market then I guess you'd have to download and install that first right?

This is a how-to to get ATT LG Optimus Pro rooted USING THE FILES PROVIDED BY FIDDY619 AS IN HIS POST FOR THE REGULAR OPTIMUS G here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181103.
So the files are not mine, but the how to is !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since some people complained about how to use these files on Linux here it is.
I am reproducing my post here:
Thanks to fiddy619 (OP) for the script and files !!
After some failures, I got my ATT LG Optimus G Pro E980 - got today - on Ubuntu. Here is what I had to change to get the linux script Root.sh to work.
YOU MUST HAVE ADB INSTALLED AND WORKING. Your 'adb devices' command in terminal must return a device number or you will get device not found. In Ubuntu, adb is as easy as just downloading and extracting the files and adding the prprper path: see here
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1918512.
When editing your path dont forget to
$ sudo gedit ~/.bashrc
Then add to the end of the file...after last line:
export PATH=${PATH}:${HOME}/android-sdk-linux/tools:${HOME}/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools
CHANGE the 'tools' and 'platform-tools' folder path to what your file location is. You MAY not need to do the android rules bit if your phone mounts.
FOR UBUNTU:
1. Download and extract files to your favorite location. You need to remember and know the path to the location.
2. The Root.sh uses adb to push the files 'busybox', 'su' and 'superuser.apk' to the phone. HOWEVER, the location of these files depends n where you saved them on the computer.
3. Open Root.sh.
4. Find "$ADB push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox" and change the first 'busybox' (underlined) to proper location of your file on your Ubuntu. Thus, for me I changed the line as follows:
$ADB push /home/MyUserName/Downloads/Root-Universal-linux/busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
5. Do this for the followng lines also, changing location of 'su' and 'Superuser.apk' based on where it is on you compu.
$ADB push su /system/xbin/su
$ADB push Superuser.apk /system/app/Superuser.apk
6. Click save to save script file.
7. Put phone in 'Charge Mode' and connect to computer.
8. To run the script open terminal and
$ sudo sh '''drag and drop Root.sh file here"
Hit Enter.
9. Adb will start and it MUST say device found for you to proceed.
10. The next four lines -after 'device found' that show are INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOU. So disconnect phone >>> Disable Usb debugging >>> Enable USB debugging>>> Plug phone back in. ESSENTIALLY DISCONNECT PHONE AND ENABLE DEBUGGING AND THEN RECONNECT.
11. It will do some stuff and show:
uid=0(root), gid=0(root)
"If uid=0(root), gid=0(root) is displayed"
"Press Enter to Continue once phone is running"
"If uid=0(root), gid=0(root) is NOT displayed"
"Press Ctrl+c to quit"
The stuff in quotes again are INSTRUCTIONS. The line before it is what you should see to follow instructions: So if "uid=0(root), gid=0(root)" shows before the instruction set, you are good to go and can press 'enter'.
12. It will push the require busybox/su/etc files and change permissions and reboot. IF YOU GET ANY ERROR HERE ABOUT 'su' file not found, or 'busybox' file not found, then check Root.sh for that you entere the location of the files properly in step 4.
13. After rebooting you should see supersu installed.
Bravo!!!!

THIS GUIDE NO LONGER WORKS BECAUSE ANDROID ISN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE BACK IN 2013-14.
PLEASE STOP WASTING TIME TO FOLLOW THIS OBSOLETE METHOD 1. PLEASE REFER ONLY TO METHOD 3
The Ultimate Guide to Rooting any Android Device Manually !!!!
Wanting to ROOT Your Phone but can't do Because Of No rooting Guides or want to learn to root any device ? Then , This Guide Is For YOU
OK So lets start....
**What You Need**
1.Your Unrooted Android Device.
2.ADB Drivers Installed On Your PC. If you Don't Have Download From Here :
Code:
adbdriver.com/
3. The Most Inportant Root Kit Made By Me (N'ayam Amarsh'e) - Download From The Attachment.
4.Strength And Courage 'Coz Rooting Voids Your Warranty... If You have a samsung device then Don't Worry Your warranty is gone forever... But if you own any other, maybe you can void it or maybe......
I've Written Android Device as ADV to make it more easy....
**Steps**
So you have the adb drivers installed let's go....
1. Open The root kit by Extracting The Rootkit with WinRAR....
2.Turn 'USB DEBUGGING' 'ON' in your ADV...
3. Connect your ADV to Your PC...
4.In the root kit Open Cmd.exe File ... [ IF YOU CAN'T OPEN CMD, GOTO C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/ COPY CMD .EXE TO YOUR ROOTKIT FOLDER]
5. In CMD window Type the following command...
Code:
->adb devices *Your device will get listed in the window if it doesn't check your adb drivers or if you have followed the steps properly...
->adb push busybox /data/local/tmp
->adb push su /data/local/tmp
->adb push Superuser.apk /data/local/tmp
If you Succeed Move On ...
6.Then You need Root Shell Type :
Code:
adb shell
Note that you see a "$" sign in the command prompt. That means you are not in 'su' shell.
7.Next run the following commands in the shell to change permissions and get some limited privileges for the Superuser files:
Code:
->chmod 6755 /data/local/tmp/su
->chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/busybox
->chmod 644 /data/local/tmp/Superuser.apk
{Note}The names of the files are case sensitive!
8.Done ? Now You need to open a copy of linux which has nautilus... So enter your linux (I recommend using ubuntu 11.4) and type in the terminal (ctrl+alt+T)
Code:
->sudo nautilus
this will open nautilus with root privileges...
You can just boot it from USB so no hassle of installing it... http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/download-ubuntu-linux-11-04-iso-cd-dvd-images-natty-narwhal.html
Having your ADV connected with USB to PC switch it off and put it in download/recovery mode...
superlouro said:
DEVICE OFFLINE?
! SOLUTION ! (click me)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
9.In The Exploring Window navigate to
Code:
/data/local/tmp
and move/cut 'su' and 'busybox' to
Code:
/system/bin
...
10.From the tmp Folder you went earlier Move/cut 'Superuser.apk' to
Code:
/system/app
11.Now Reboot You ADV ... Congrats ! You're now ROOTED !
Many Users Are Having Problem with This Method, If you can't do the method 1. Try Method 2.
METHOD 2
PLEASE DON'T ASK ME ABOUT THIS METHOD, THIS IS JUST FOR A TRY, MY BROTHER FOUND THIS METHOD TO BE WORKING, I HAVEN'T TRIED IT YET!
This is linux based method, It's quite easy if you follow every step correctly...
You need to download psneuter, https://github.com/tmzt/g2root-kmod/tree/master/scotty2/psneuter
When you have it execute the following...
Code:
adb devices
Code:
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
This will copy the file to your device and now we'll execute it..
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/local/tmp
chmod 777 psneuter
./psneuter
Now You'll see
Code:
adb kill-server
adb devices
adb shell
now # will appear in place of $, or after typing $su.
Code:
# mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/st19/system
# exit
$ adb push busybox /system/bin
$ adb push su /system/bin
$ adb install Superuser.apk
$ adb shell
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/busybox
# chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
# mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/block/st19/system
# exit

Problem solved i download another adb drivers and work fine
In /UserData/local/tmp i only have one file "directory" and nothing else. It's look like something block the data folder.

that means you have not properly pushed the files into the directory.... Try installing adb drivers again and do the same steps...Good luck
When you open cmd just type ' adb devices' if your device gets listed then you can start if it doesn't check your drivers...
After uinstall all adb drivers and phone drivers comand prompt shows me a device code and status ofline. At the begining i install atached to therad package of adb drivers. But lately some where in Internet I find some update package of adb drivers. And there was the same sort of files like in your package. I put them there and replace and after that adb shows the device is working and status is online but your guide still does not work. Question is where is real problem ? I checked and Debug Mod is on, drivers are installed.
Try this , download android commander and try to copy the busybox , su and superuser to data/local/tmp

I used the same files in android commander because program can't finde my device to.
Which phone you have.... Try to download its original drivers this might help...
I using Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo (GT-I9060) Jelly Bean 4.2.2
Now is working. But how to move "su" and busybox into system/bin ? Android commander says " You need root to do this." when i try to copy does files into system/bin. Folders are protected and I dont have premission to do anything with them.

Sorry I forgot that Android Commander works only for rooted phones... Silly Me...
OK you will need to do it with Droid Explorer
OR
linux and in the linux you'll have to type 'sudo nautilus' it'll open it with root privilages...

And in your guide need little correct. In step 9 should be /data/local/tmp not /UserData/local/tmp. Does are two diffrent folders. And before I think I do something wrong when all files be already on right place
Droid Explorer cant change folders premission too. Command prompt says : Read-only drirectory. I don't know what to do now.

Hi! First thank you for that guide. I rooted several devices but with a noname(10.1" A10 dual core) china tablet I have some problems so I hope your solution works.
I have some problems/questions:
1. Step 5: Are you sure it's:
Code:
adb push su /data/local/tmp
instead of
adb push su /data/local/tmp[B][SIZE="5"]/[/SIZE][/B]
I'm currently not able to look at the data folder but if I change the directions e.g to /test/local/tmp it just creates a "tmp" file and overwrites the file with every push command.
2. Step 6: If it's a $ it's not rootet, what should be there if it's rooted? I have a # there. Rootchecker says it's rooted since the beginning, but I cant access with superuser/supersu etc.
3. Step 8 doesn't work. I use a virtual box with ubuntu 13.10(Stinson: new is always better?) for the first time. With "sudo nautilus" I get the message that root access is not granted(failed to register client). I used "gksudo nautilus" instead... does that matter?
4. I can't connect my device to the virtual box. I tried to add the usb device but didn't work. USB Developer Android[0223] is in virtual box connected. However, I dont know where to find it in ubuntu. I'm a ubuntu noob sorry :/
5. Is there another way to get rw permissions?
Thanks in advance :good:
thankyou for information i think is hard for me
Very nice, ty

For Your First Answer You Need not to worry /tmp and /tmp/ are the same...
2.Have you tried typing 'adb shell' then ' su ' if yes there's your solution.... If not then you have problem with su binary or busybox....
3.You have an Ubuntu 11.4 .iso file so burn it to a blank disk and boot your live disk .... It should be all right then...
