Aw OK. So now I have to find a good rom..
U can always download stock rom (update) zip from asus website and flash it using recovery or wolfs method. But u will lose everything ;(

Has any one been able to root Jellybean yet, or downgrade back to Ice Cream Sandwich for the transformer prime tf300. Ive tried the firmware update to the .17 for ics and its still locked to Jellybean. The only other thing i could think of is to use the kernals, but i found no way to install them. Should i even try unlocking the bootloader?
So far, it looks hopeless to try and downgrade to ICS. The source code has been released so we may have root in the not-to-distant future once the developers have a look at it.

Here's hoping. I didn't realize how much I really used until it was taken away.

If you can downgrade to ICS you could potentially get root back using the debugfs method. Then you can upgrade again and rescue your root with voodoo ota root keeper, but I had to wipe data after the jb upgrade, and that broke root for good, for now.

Rooting is very simple in JellyBean assuming you have your boot unlocked

So if I got the 4.1 update, I cant unlock bootloader, and cant get root?

You should be able to. Despite the message, many others are reporting success.

Yes, you can root JB.
I just bought my Tab, upgraded to JB right away then performed below steps:
1) Used the ASUS unlocker to unlock the device, make sure you have internet connection otherwise it will not work.
2) Follow 3rd part in below thread to root JB:

Question, is that all you did? I'm considering doing the same but I don't want custom Roms and such. I just want my root back.

I think the big question is if its possible to keep the BL locked though. I know I tried via the OTA keeper, and no success. Tried updating binaries, superSU, regular SU... no dice so far...

For locked u can only root ics and keep it using voodoo rootkeeper and than update. Thats how i did it.
Im not sure but u could downgrade using this method. It flash whole system again and clear all ~30gb of memory so it should work.

Just bought my tf300 today. I searched a little but i am confused. My firmware is 9.4.3.30 i am still 0n ICS. What is the best guide to gaining root unlocking the bootloader and a rom. Would rather stay away from abd only because my computer is not set up with it. Do i upgrade to stock jelly bean then use the asus unlock apk? What is the most up to date guide?
Thank you.

You can unlock with the Asus Unlock app on ICS. There is currently no root for locked bootloaders on JB. ICS can still be rooted with the bootloader locked.
Thank you. What do you recommend doing. Staying on ics and keeping the bootloader lock? Or unlocked and jelly bean? Was kinda thinking about running black bean. What are your thoughts or experience?

So far as I know (and I don't have my tablet yet):

Stay on ICS, from JB is difficult to move, currently.
I was on firmware .30 ice. I unlocked bootloader root and flashed blackbean. Am I able to full wipe and flash hydro ICS? or am I stuck with JB roms now?.
Sorry for the noob question. New to the Asus
thank you for any help

I have the bootloader unlocked rooted and have hydro ICS. If I want to move to JB and I just flash a JB rom? Or do I need to change to a different recovery? I understand that I can't go back to ics unless I do the nvflash back up. Also what JB rom has flash working?
Thank you
