Now before you all go and say im stupid and should read other comments before making a post
All i want to know is is there a way of installing cwm without the use of a computer as ive already unlocked the bootloader and now cant go any further due to the need of fastboot.
Thanks for the comments.

PC is recommend because are in control, but you could use an app like ROM manager to install recovery.

I hear you. That's why I recommend a PC because you are in ultimate control, but ROM manager is supposed to be intelligent enough to know what you're running and install the proper recovery... supposed to be honestly I've installed it but not used it for that, so I can't speak from experience.

fastboot can brick a tablet, too.
Rom Manager bricks it, cause it has not the right CWM for tf300. Use gomanager and flash TWRP.
I agree any type of flashing can brick it. I just like the PC because I depend on myself instead of an app. I've not tried twrp app but have read good things about it.

Twrp was pulled from goo manager because of the 2 different versions - one for ics loader and one for jb loader. Since it may not be able to tell what boot loader you have twrp was pulled off.

You can go here. http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/97 and there is a method to install twrp using terminal. Follow the directions in the link.

As I can remember Rom Manager shows you the wrong kernel, so you shouldn't use it - I can just recommend you Fastboot, it's how I did it and it's pretty easy (just watch the Vid in the Hydro Jb-Rom )

I just picked up my transformer tf300 yesterday, it is an amazing tablet. I'm just wondering if I should root and flash custom roms or keep it stock. And if i do want to root and flash what are some things i need to know before i do. I have experience with my HTC hd2 but i know Android native devices are almost completely different
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
just my opinion
dive right in,
root - look for the debugfs thread and the process is automated for you
it does not require you to use the unlock tool, so you will retain your warranty
you'll also want to install busybox
and either superuser or Supersu from market place
currently there's a rom currently based on stock which is awesome,
incredibly fast
it's night and day difference
After you've rooted, if you want to flash custom roms
use the asus unlock tool
then install goo manager from the market place - it has an option to install TWRP recovery
reboot and make a backup
then flash away, any rom you like
i recommend flashing seamzscreams rom, it's buttery smooth plus it's based off the stock. 30 build.

If you plan on rooting I recommend you installing cwm recovery and keep a copy of the asus .30 firmware on your internal sd card. This way you can return to stock if you dont like what the custom rom offers. None of the recoveries can read the ext sd card at this time and you can only flash the stock firmware with cwm.
What about that twrp recovery it can't flash stock roms?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
It can't flash the stock Asus ROM. It just hangs. It flashes the custom stock ROM fine, though.
If you root/unlock, do you need an extra SD card to save a backup with from either CWM or TWRP?
Noob obv.
Can cwm install custom roms as well?

CWM should be able to flash custom ROMs. However, some folks have had trouble using CWM to flash seanzscreams' ROM and had to use TWRP to flash it. Until either recovery fully stabilizes, you should be prepared to switch recoveries back and forth depending on which ROM you flash or when restoring backups. And you should always keep an extra ROM to flash on your internal storage just in case since neither recovery supports external storage yet.
Unless you have some specific app you really want/need root for, why do it?
Soo, twrp would be more reliable and if anything goes wrong I'll switch to cwm and flash stock firmware
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
I couldn't get seanz rom to work with clockwork either i had to use twrp as well. Not a big deal but now I have both on my tablet.
If you unlock use seanz rom it's incredibly fast.

Since QC issues are rampant with TF300T, I'm gonna stay stock + root for the first year. I have a feeling it'll need to eventually get sent in for repairs.

These are my thoughts exactly. I will stay stock and rooted unless a really smooth JB ROM gets released and I cant stand waiting for the official one.

Not true.
I've rooted, while still having a locked bootloader.
If you're still on ICS can use 1-Click root v1.1 here
If you updated to JB, then not sure if you can root at the moment.

Just so there is no surprise, you will most likely start getting errors when it tries to push files to your device. It pushes to /data/local which no longer has write permissions for all users.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
It doesn't work for the reasons stated in this thread. Just errors and an offer to exit at the end.
I'm still hoping someone will try to downgrade using fastboot since the updated boot loader has the USB option. If we can downgrade, we can easily root.

As of right now, yes, or cwm if you prefer. An exploit to root and not unlock the bootloader has not been found yet.

That doesn't work if you are on stock jb with a locked bootloader and not rooted. If you formerly had root on ICS using this method then it is possible to save it.

I'm able to instal CWM, but i cant backup...it freezes on backing up boot.
Then i give it a shoot to run the zip without backing up. it went well but when i reboot the sys it appears a message, before leaving CWM,: this device as lost root (yes for fix it or go back). neither options root the device

At present, if you are on jb and want root, you must unlock. There's a guide in the general section. Follow step 3 to get root, and recovery as a bonus.

Absolutely. I used twrp to flash it just because it worked better for me, but cwm will flash it too. Flash it, download supersu from the store, update the such binary automatically with it, and off you go with root.

Some people lost root after the update, especially those who did a factory wipe of data afterward, like me. This guide helps those with unlocked bootloader. At this time, you cannot root jb with a locked bootloader if you lost it during the upgrade.
