Yesterday, Geohot released his Towelroot exploit here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157
Towelroot was made for the Verizon / AT&T Galaxy S5, reported working with the Note 3, and is supposed to work on pretty much any device with a kernel built before June 3. Since the TF701T has a kernel from Apr 18, I tried Towelroot on a completely stock TF701T and can report that I am now rooted without unlocking my boot loader.
Just leaving this here in case there are any further developments. I'd love to see how much can be done without voiding warranty through bootloader. At the very least, we have Xposed.
worked for me too !
Thanks great !
Good news. Can a mod sticky this please.
Thanks, it works very well. I want to know if I can install custom recovery without unlocking bootloader.

No you will need to unlock the boot loader to install a custom recovery I'm afraid.
Confirmed! Works great. Are you using Chainfire or the regular superuser. Chainfire tells me I need to update the binary but fails to do it. Using regular superuser now.
This is what i was looking for!!
We can at least get Xposed, Delete bloatwares, Starting Apps, Titanium Backup, Adaway.
But can someone confirm my doubts, Because this exploit works with before June kernels, it obviously means that if Asus bring us 4.4 we will not able to have a persistant root, except if a dev create a working LB custom recovery and then a Pre-rooted, zipaligned, deodexed 4.4 rom.
Am i wrong bros?

Works for now but 4.4 will most likely use the newer patched kernel. My Note 3 w I think KK is showing Kernel version 3.4 so KK may not have to use a kernel later then that.

Ok so root on 4.4 will only be possible by another exploit or unlocking BL.
I think i'm going so stay on a rooted 4.3 for now
Works for me as well. However, neither app superuser nor su work for me.

Just got this tablet today and there's a system update when I turned it on. Shall I update or I can't use Towelroot by geohot if I do? I want to have root without unlocking.

You can update first then use towelroot, no problem.
Updating SU bin
Regarding 'Out of date' SU bin message - after rooting with towel root install attached apk and then manually update.
Restoration and warranty concerns
Now, this might be a silly question for most Android users, and for me, but seeing as how I just can't trust my tablet that much with its wonkiness I have to ask: is it possible to "unroot" my device after using Towelroot and returning back to stock? Also, can ASUS see that I've been rooting my device, even though the bootloader has not been touched, and not accept my warranty?

To unroot do a factory reset.
There is no flash count so Asus can't be aware of this.
correct me if i'm wrong !

I may be stupid, but how is this supposed to work? I download tr.apk and when I try to install it, my TF701 says "App not installed". Is it not a straight-forward one-click method, or is is more complicated than this? On some other threads, it seems that there is a step of connecting the phone to the PC and running an installation batch script. Is this true for the TF701 as well?
Can someone supply a step-by-step guide on how to do this?
You just have to allow third party apps in Security settings and then click and install the apk. No pc or script needed.

I already have that (unless it somehow has reset itself - will check when I get home) - and it still said "App not installed" when I tried to install it.
It even came up and told me what permissions the application requested (which I don't think will happen, if I haven't enabled third party apps). Among those I saw an interesting one that I hadn't seen before - maybe that's the "root" cause of the exploit (pun intended )
Very strange... I have two TF701s, and on the oldest one (JB 4.3, Kernel 3.4.57 Apr 18, build 10.26.1.28) the tr.apk won't install. On my recently bought TF701 (Still not updated, running JB 4.2.2, Kernel 3.4.35, Oct 22 2013, build 10.14.1.47) it ran without any problems.
Has anyone with the Apr 18 update run the TowelRoot exploit successfully on their TF701?

hey i tried using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/guide-xposed-framework-samsung-lollipop-t3113160
i installed:
XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
and then flashed:
xposed-v75-sdk21-arm
my phone went into brick mode... didn't boot...
what can i do? what files exactly am i supposed to install and flash and by which order?
please help.

Xposed works only in deodexed rom. . The stock one is odexed, so, you should deodex your rom to get xposed work properly

Hello! I wanted to know if Alcatel OneTouch Eleveate (Lollipop, 5.1.1.) Is compatible for flashing the zip file needed in order to get it activated. As far as I have seen, my Alcatel is compatible with a few rooted apps like when I patched it with Lucky Patcher. But I don't know if flashing it for Xposed is safe or not. So does anyone know if it is safe for it to flash?

Instead of just posting that this isn't the support section, which achieves nothing, please report the thread so we can move it. Thanks.

Hey,
I installed rom by sokkoban but some things there are annoying for me and i have to return to stock. But there are few modifications I liked: battery icons, network speed or extended phone manager.
Is it possible to flash/upload to stock rom by my own? I even don't think about K settings, where is a lot of options to change
If I well remember he had mentioned which android kitchen he uses. If I I'm wrong then that info should be placed in TWRP before installing Sokkoban's mod.
Hello, first you need to deodex your rom, if not the modding is impossible.
Many good tools was present on xda for this

I'm thinking about using Limbo emulator app then run Windows 10. My question is can I use this being rooted, and if I do install windows 10 on mi mix will it screw up anything as far as having to flash my rom if I wanna switch back. Or is that what the Limbo app is for to turn off when not using pc style. I watched the video on how to install, it mentioned having to install a image file that's why I'm wondering If I will have to re-flash my rom if I want to switch back to RR rom.
Thank you
