Hello,
A collegue here at work have a TF101 B70, and he told me he tried every available root methods with no success.
I told him to bring his Transformer, and we tried my method documented here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704209
It worked !
Don't know if it will be usefull for anyone but I felt like I had to announce it.
Please report me if it works for you too, and which version of FW and S/N you have.
Thanks,
milo

With nvflash being available for all TF101 devices, we will always have root, no matter what.

Doesn't the nvflash method unlock the device and void the warranty ?
No it doesn't, since the bootloader was cracked and not officially unlocked by ASUS, there's no real way for them to tell. It does no permanent change to your bootloader or APX mode. Nvflash for sbkv2 is in my signature, however, the Tf101G and slider have different bootkeys which have yet to be cracked. Those will have to continue to use exploits. My PERI tool currently works on all devices and firmware (and supposedly the next update) and is a one click root option. You can check it out in my signature.

No.
Rooting voids your warranty too, by the way.

Use RazorClaw and then RecoveryInstaller, these two are .apk, so it works with just one click from your Tab.
I've rooted mine like this.

Best way: Update to 8.6.5.19 -specifically- and use Razorclaw.
Anything above .19 and you get stuck, unless your B70 supports the APX mode access ... which frankly I'd test anyway if you haven't already just to be sure if you'll have a failsafe option.

Settings --> About tablet --> Build number
There you will find something like "XX_epad" in the middle of that very long string. In which XX = your tablet's SKU. It can be US, WW, TW, etc.
Sorry, I don't have my tablet in my hands. Cannot get you a screenshot. I am sure there's some around the forum.
Let me know if you can find it

Awesome i see its the US version. I have found it on Asus website. Now one more thing and this may sound stupid. I see it says put it in adb/fastboot. where is that exactly haha thanks again
Oh wait, I guess you haven't unlocked the infinity yet. Fastboot is available only after unlocking. I haven't unlocked mine, so I am not very familiar with that.
Using adb connecting to your tablet through command prompt is essentially the same as running terminal emulator on the tablet. I guess you should be familiar with adb as you hacked many phones already.
You know what. I heard that the unlock tool also works in JB for TF300T. I guess it should be working on TF700T with JB also. You can try it first before downgrading.
You can try this guide to downgrade to .30. Just download the .30 file instead of .22 stated in the post.

The error indicated that your device is not registered with Asus server or there's problem with Asus server. Many ppl have this issue and the only way is to wait and try again on another day. Sometimes it takes days, weeks, some...never!! Asus is no longer support this and they transfered this process to third party, so we're at the end of the rope.

Rooting has nothing to do with unlocking. You still can root your device, but without unlocking you will not able to flash recovery in order to flash custom rom/kernel.

ASUS CASEID=RPTM20121129101715-271
Hi David,
Thank you for reaching out. Last I heard, the unlocking problem was due to an issue with the servers over at HQ. Since then, I was informed that they (HQ) would take over handling it. I'm sad to say, that I have not heard anything from them since and I am probably in the same situation as you guys. The best I can recommend is to send it in for RMA since it is believed to be an issues with the MB not being able to communicate with the servers.
Tien
Is that answer your question?

Where does this mention a third party? I would read HQ as Asus HQ in Taiwan.
Ihave the exact same problem. imgonna sell this if it cant be unlocked!

No, but you can downgrade to ICS, root it with debugfs, use OTA RootKeeper, and upgrade to JB again using dlkpkgfiles saved from OTA upgrades (downloads are available in some thread on this forum). This procedure does not require unlocking and results in a rooted JB.
Has ASUS accidently blocked NVFlash through the JB update or was it purposely blocked in the JB 4.1.1 update?
Any word from ASUS about unblocking NVFlash in the future updates?
What are the odds of an explot in future updates?

It was never officially supported - we always had to use a hacked bootloader to get the blob, and a special tool to enable nvflash. With the JB update they added signature verification for bootloader updates - I don't know if they did it to block nvflash, but I doubt that it was the main reason.
I doubt it too.
Having said that, if I was Asus I wouldn't want users messing with NVflash either so it's no loss to them that you don't have it. If you use the device as they intended it you wouldn't need nvflash.

...or CROMI.
IMHO, they should give users who unlock their tablet their unique SBK. Since unlocking voids the warranty anyway, it would be only fair to give users full control over their device.

Agreed but they have never done this. I had the original TF101 which on the first few revisions had a working NVFlash. Thesame thing happened. The version I bought had a updated bootloader and the NVFlash was a thing of the past.
The same has happened on the prime and on the TF300 as well as the infinity.....
Asus have no reason to give it to us really. In fact they make money by us not having it from people who have to send in bricked devices. Which by all accounts they replace the mainboard on and don't use any flashing tools to recover although I suspect they could do it that way. Unless they reflash with a new serial???

Yes, unfortunately - as long as nobody offers a more open device with similar capabilities.
Hello, I own a TF300TG which mounts 4.2.1 android version, 10.6.2.11 fw.
I'm trying to root it with SRS root (eset32 detected it as trojan, btw) but it keeps failing.
VROOT doesn't even install on my PC (i don't know why, it's written in chinese).
how can I obtain root privileges?

The easiest way is to unlock your bootloader, install a custom recovery like TWRP and then flash the SuperSU ZIP from that recovery.
Make sure you double-check that you picked the right recovery version for your bootloader.

I've found some threads linking to twrp but the link shared in them refer to the tf300t, not tg. I mean this. Is it the same? I'm worried about bricking my device, because it isn't only mine
so where can I get the correct files to download for my tablet?
sorry if Iook like a noob but my phone was waaaaaayyyy easier to root...

Yeah, it is tricky to pick the right recovery version with all those incompatible bootloaders and the new KitKat ROMs needing yet another one to flash properly.
There are other options for rooting, search for motochopper and similar tools, but personally I don't regard them as simple and some of them have been reported to contain malware.
To help you find the right recovery version, first need to know the version of your bootloader. You can find it at the top left of the bootloader screen. The interesting part are the numbers starting with 10. or 9. for really old ones. Then need to know, what ROM you want to root. Using stock Asus ROM?
You can safely use a recovery for TF300T; it is much more important to pick the right version for your bootloader.

The guide looks good to me and should work fine for your boot loader.
Instead of the attached TWRP, you can safely use any TWRP for the TF300T, as long as it has -42 in the name. 2.6.0.0 might be a little buggy, not sure.

Just to confirm that i have TF300TG with JB 4.2.1 and my bootloader is 10.6.2.11 and i have used the link that you quoted in this reply (this) and all work for me just fine.:good:
Kingo (google it) apparently works. so if you dont want to unlock the bootloader and whatnot, try that.
thanks for your answers, first I will try kingo and if it doesn't work I will try the method on the link I posted!
