I'm seeing a lot of old root methods or root methods for B70 or lower versions of the TF101. Are there any roots for the stock ICS firmware yet that is compatible for the B80?
ViperMOD can be use to root any tablet, regardless of the serial number.

Search for ViperMod..
Use option 1 to root your TF
Use this until someone comes up with a root technique

Is this the official site? http://vipermod.tiamat-dev.com/vipermod-primer-tool-transformer-prime/
It says for the prime but I assume it works for the TF101?

That method was simple and effective. I'm surprised the mods removed it, because frankly, it looked like the cleanest way to root all current transformers on latest firmware.
Ok, thank you. I'm going to use that root method.
Edit: I ended up using viperMOD and it worked flawlessly.

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.

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:

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.

I would like a .26 root as well
I've been having constant errors with the adb.exe and not finding a solution for it, there are many others stuck in the same boat as me. So a 1 click root utility for .26 would be great.
Would save a lot of head aches.

Agreed With time and patients we will have it.
Is there a way to Unlock or Root the TF700 with the current JB firmware? My TF700 came stock with JB, and it seems like Asus took down the links to the ICS firmware on their support site.
As others have said in various threads, you can be on JB and unlock no problem. It says ICS only but Asus are just lazy and haven't updated their site. I unlocked on JB and everything is fine.

Correct. I just did it last night and everything worked fine. Unlocked and rooted on latest 4.1.1 JB!

Curious to getting root w/o unlocking it? I looked at some other threads and only talk about keeping root while upgrading etc.
So far loving this tablet, the dock makes it 100x more useful when you need it.

As far as I know, the only way to root it without unlocking the bootloader is if you have ICS and just use the debugfs command program, as far as rooting with JB I know you have to have the bootloader unlocked. In all honesty I don't mind taking the risk of unlocking my bootloader because I have Geek Squad Protection on my tablet and can just get a new one for free.

You should use TWRP 2.3.1 instead of 2.2.2.3, which he reccommends, though. They have fixed the issues he talks about.

I'm wanting to take the plunge myself - but do you have to use the Asus unlocker tool or is there a way around that? I'm too late to get SquareTrade I think. Too late, and too poor LOL. I just have that nagging feeling that as soon as I do the thing will bork on me.
Edit: Sorry...I just read that you can't unlock without the ASUS tool, and it's a damn shame. I want so bad to rant right now but I won't.
I think I'm still going to unlock though.
The only way I could find to root was to install CWM recovery first, and then install the CWM SuperUser app. I replaced CWM with TWRP when all was said and done. Both are now touch interfaces making things so much less laborious. The links for doing so are all around the web and these forums. I had my frustrations but in the end it was easier than I thought it would be. I'm happy I took the plunge. I believe a lot of my frustrations were from ASUS' horrible implementation of Android. My benchmarks are now 6300+ on Quadrant with 2D GPU rendering on. I know benchmarks aren't everything but, you won't be sorry if you're giving up some kind of warranty to get the device you paid premium dollar for.
i was poking around on XDA and i saw motochopper can root tf300 on jelly bean. i have already unlocked, rooted and flashed twrp but my sister wants to get one and does not want unlock, will it work. i am integrating into my toolkit anyway so i'll find out

I see no reason for it not to work on the TF700 also. I posted the link on the prime forums earlier because it should work there as well.
