Can anything be done with this tablet other then the stock rom?
There is no root/cwm for b70 and b80 models at the moment.
So I guess you have to wait before the bootloader is unlocked.
They are working on it.

figured as much has any other tablets had this issue outside of asus.
I'm using a B70 Transformer, and I was able to root it.
Check the SBK Detection Thread, so see if you have v1 or v2. v1 can be rooted.
SOME B70 are rootable, do yourself a favor and at least run SBK check like P500
stated above. Doesn't hurt.

Ok just sold my acer iconia for this slim baby....trying to understand what i need to do so i can root her...send help please.

check the first digits of your serial number, if its B80 or higher, you're out of luck.
if it's B60 or below, check out the sticked, "unbrick" thread in the dev section (can also be used for rooting). there are also several threads regarding NVFLASH-based rooting. this is always the simplest and clanest IMO.
if it's B70, then it depends. this is the time when they switched NVFLASH keys on the device, so they may work, they may not.
the only other root method requires honeycomb 3.0. sadly, you can't downgrade from 3.2.
i believe the peeps that brought us the previous root methods are working on a new one (an possibly finding the new nvflash keys)...so offer up some chickens to the root gods, and hope for the best.

Just search the Development forum or browse the first page. There's a one-click root if you have Linux (or a LiveCD if you don't) or a couple of other methods. Unless you have a B70 version, in which case i don't think there is a root method yet.
Use the one click method, it's so simple that even i did it with no problem
I used mashi's post for 3 TF's... Just what you find easiest to follow.

b70 is my serial number
i have b70 but rooted
i didnt know about this b70 issues..i just rooted mine without knowing this issue..i guess i'm lucky..build date aug 16 2011..
i just followed brk's tuts..
Can anyone confirm that it is possible to downgrade the firmware on our b70 devices in order to root them? I saw this on another forum and wanted to know if anyone else has done this succesfully before I mess up my monster of a tablet?
Can you post link to where u seen it? Only thing tho if we have b70 sbk2, i dont think you can downgrade, and rayman has found that b70 and b80 can be rooted, hopefully he'll release soon enough root for them

No, because it is not the firmware you can't root, but the SBK, which is in the hardware.
That would not work unless Team RayDroid releases the SBK for B70/B80 models. If we know that, then yes, we can modify the old ASUS firmware for downgrading.

Thanks for the clarification yall, i feel real stupid now, I should have known this stuff already...

No. SBK is different from the key used for updates. Releasing the SBK wouldn't change a thing.
OOps. At least I got the point across that it's not possible...
Sent from Remilla, my stock ASUS Transformer
Even if one have the older SBK, once you're on 3.1 you can not downgrade.
Except the old SBK can use NVFlash.

As far as I know if u got a Pre-B70 device u can still root with Universal Root Toolkit using APX mode.
I am havin a B80 transformer and updated bymistake and am stuck.
If ur on 8.6.5.21 and hav a B80+ Transformer all you can do is Wait for a new Exploit
I have a B70, cannot root with .21! Shame, will wait for update.

Try using the Universal RootKit here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185104
I've successfully used it on my B50 and just this morning used it on a B60 model for a family member. It may still work for a B70 edition.

Agreed I've heard lot's of success stories for the B70 with this tool. I'm a B80 so I'm screwed (for now I hope), grrrrr Asus.
i just got a transformer for Christmas and its a b70. Will attempting that root method brick my device if it fails? I was following a root guide and stopped part way through just after i updated, came back and it said it wanted to update. Oops. Gotthe .21 update

It shouldn't brick it if you do it right, but there's always a risk associated with rooting a device. Some B70 users have had luck with the following rootkit, but not all B70's will work on .21 with this method:

Did you tried to root with RazorClaw ? Maybe it works with B70 AND .21...
(It doesn't work anymore on B80 AND .21...)

Razorclaw don't work anymore on .21 version, regardless of your serial number.
If you have serial number before B70 (and some B70) then the methods (like this) using nvflash work.

Alright, i finally got my hands on a transformer with the latest ota update. I understand this is un rootable, but people are saying some versions are still allowing the root?
This is my version and model numbers
Kernal Version
2.6.36.3-00001-g9a21fc1
[email protected] # 1
Build number
HTK75.WW_epad-8.6.5.21-20111216
Is this rootable still or do I just have to wait for the next exploit
What are the first three characters of the serial number?
Its b80 is that rootable
Sorry but at this time the answer is No.
I have B80 and I made the mistake of updating it as soon as I took it out of the box on Christmas Eve. I am now on 8.6.5.21 and there does not seem to be a current option to root this tablet. Hopefully someone will a working exploit soon.

I want to unlock my Infinity but when I was going to download the unlock tool from the Asus website I read that it only works for ICS .. I already did the OTA for jelly bean and still want to unlock. So my question is will the unlock tool work for jelly bean?

Yes, it has been confirmed to work on Jelly Bean by multiple users. It will work fine.

I used the unlock app on JB and it supposedly worked. The message "your device is now unlocked" or something similar was displayed.
I still have some questions:
1) How can I be sure my device is unlocked?
2) Is all the fuss about the .30 upgrade concerns nvflash only and not unlocking in general?
3) Would I be able to use custom ROMs in the future? Is there specific tools I will need to achieve that?
P.S. I use GNU/Linux on the desktop. I have both the SDK and the NDK installed. I already use adb sometimes and I know my way around CLI environments. I'm just new to Android and all the vendor lock-ins.

The good news is YES!
I did it yesterday and now I am unlocked, rooted using the method posted by hiemashu (how to root JB), updated recovery to TWRP2.2.2.2 64bit version, flashed with ULE 1.1 ROM and since updated to the newest TWRP 2.2.2.3.
The only thing to make sure of is that you use a USB port connected directly to the Motherboard. I tried one via a multi-card reader and while I was able to fastboot reboot I could not flash until I changed port.
Go for it! You won't regret it! Anyway, it's not really yours 'til you void the warranty!!!
Cheers,
Eric

How about the USB port on the keyboard / mobile dock? Or are you suggesting we'd need an OTG adapter directly into the TF700T tablet itself?
When i run the unlock tool, I get the message "the device model is not supported". Is there a work-around for this?

No, it didn't. Thanks for you reply but I discovered what was wrong: I followed a link within this or another thread to ASUS's unlock tool for the TF201. When I realized this, i simply downloaded the device-appropriate drive and am now unlocked.
