Guest PaulOBrien Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Introducing.... Superboot! :) Superboot is a boot.img that when booted, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash any partitions, no need to mess around with ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just boot the boot image using the instructions below and you're done! APPLY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! Superboot r1 - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) - MD5: 4283f9199469b0e647f184311e817cc6 How to use Superboot - Windows, Linux and OSX - Download the Superboot zip file above and extract to a directory - Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume up' button pressed to enter the bootloader (see note below) - WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat' - MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh' - LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x superboot-linux.sh' followed by './install-superboot-linux.sh' Note: You need to unlock the bootloader on your device before you can enter bootloader mode - use the Asus provided APK to do this, available from the Asus download site (in the Android -> Utilities section). Enjoy! :) P PS If you find this useful, please consider supporting MoDaCo by signing up for a MoDaCo subscription! Visit this topic for further details!
Guest Lycox Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Good news Paul :) Which ROM version did you used or doesn't it matter? Will we have root after a reboot and a ROM update? -Lycox Edited January 21, 2013 by Lycox

Guest sphinxy Posted January 22, 2013 Report Posted January 22, 2013 Hi Paul, Is this root reversible? I'm keen to root it, however if i cant reverse it - i'll be too afraid to follow through incase i need to return it for various reasons. Thanks.

Guest darkvice01 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Posted January 22, 2013 I PM Paul hopefully in time he can do something about the unlock.apk not removing the capability of OTA update and also relock bootloader..

Guest rafael_mfr Posted January 25, 2013 Report Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Paul, Got root access on latest fw through your script above, by the way there is no superuser icon on apps list? Can I simply push superuser.apk into /system/app? I can open Titanium Backup and others apps that needs root access. Edited January 25, 2013 by rafael_mfr

Guest tiedor Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 Hi, how can i turn back and lock bootloader? Thx
Guest loonsy Posted February 4, 2013 Report Posted February 4, 2013 Hi, how can i turn back and lock bootloader? Thx AFAIK there is no solution to lock after unlocking boot loader ATM.
Guest Xmoo Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 Correct. P Hej Paul, We meet again :) Since there is no relock atm I'll wait a bit. Won't take the chance to brick a 970 euro device.
Guest PaulOBrien Posted February 19, 2013 Report Posted February 19, 2013 Hej Paul, We meet again :) Since there is no relock atm I'll wait a bit. Won't take the chance to brick a 970 euro device. I'm everywhere... :-D P
