[Q] Rooting the safe way

Hey folks..
i bought a TF300T a couple of weeks ago which i updated to Jelly bean so i was not able to root it ..
Now i got it switched to a new tablet because it was " DOA ".. so that was pretty lucky..
Now i have the TF300T with ICS and the Jelly bean update waiting for me..
Anyhow, this time i want to root this thing and install custom roms on it..
Problem is i cant find a guide nor anything on how to root it and update it to jelly bean and still keep root / CWM..
the only guide i found was one done with the US update..
Can anyone give me a guideline to where i should start?
EDIT: Do i have to unlock my bootloader to root?

Ok, When you say that you can't find anything on how to root, or guidelines and etc...
It's false, cause I think that you haven't really search on this specific forum.
On first, click on my sig (the Index for the TF300T/TG) and you will find all you need.
and finally you need to search and read a little. It's easy to post a question, you wait that a kindly person could give you some answer.
if you want to root without JB, don't open your wifi, for stop update by OTA
After unlock your tf300
and use NVFLASH on final

Root for Acer A510 [JB 4.1.2 Stock ROM]

Hi guys, I'd like to know, is there any way for a stock user to get rooted on the stock ROM? Is there an easy method like the one with ICS? I only want root and nothing else.
Thanks!
PS: I used THIS method to achieve root with the A510 in ICS. Will it work here?

anyone try the old rooting method yet? im interested in doing this as well for jelly bean, still running 4.0.

[Q] Root Canadian x925 razr hd on Jelly Bean

Hey guys,
Since I've updated my razr hd(fido) to JB, I lost root access. Before that, I had rooted it and been able to use autoproxy.
What I want is to root the device which is now on JB. I have researched a bit and I know http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970267 doesn't work for canadian razr hd.
Thanks in advance!

Protected root?

Did you try to protect root first?

No, I wasn't aware of doing it and that's why I lost root access.

If your bootloader is unlocked you can root JB. Let me find the thread.

[Q] Can new phone VRBMF1 be rooted?

I just got a new GS3 with VRBMF1 (latest 4.1.2). Tried two versions of Casual, and the "unified toolkit". None of these seem able to root this device.
Any pointers, guidance? Can this be rooted? Seems like a lot of the messages I've seen are from rooted folks who want to upgrade to VRBMF1 without losing root -- as if they're afraid that if they lose root they'll never get it back. That can't be a good sign...

I was able to root with Casual on the official mf1 update.

I have used casual to root MF1. I prefer to use Odin when I root or unroot. There are several threads with guides. Just follow the steps.

Just follow open1your1eyes0's guide step-by-step from Steps 1 to Step 4. Step 5 (Restoring your Jelly Bean Bootchain) is not required.

I was able to get my stock 4.1.2 VRBMF1 rooted with no issues. Good Luck!

I found yesterday when trying to root my brand new warranty MF1 that I lost 4G connectivity. Is this related to using the VRALEC bootchain? Sorry if this is a noob question. In any case, is there a MF1 bootchain available? That is the only part of that guide that makes me really uneasy, despite it being listed as optional.
