I have a tf300 with jellybean firmware JRO03C.US_epad-10.4.2.9-20120809 and the bootloader is unlocked.
I can charge my tablet, but any computer i try, it cannot connect to the computer.
Is there any way I can root it? Thanks for the help!

You can install TRWP 2.2.2.0 with Terminal Emulator apk
If you can push the blob files on your internal SDcard, after you can just follow the process TWRP 2.2 - Asus Transformer TF300T(G) page
but for rooted your TF, you will need one computer...
If you get the recovery working. I would assume you could flash a new rom stock or custom thats rooted already

Apologies for being noob in TF (my first Android thing).
I've been playing with my TF101 B80 with updated ICS 4, successfully rooted with ViperMod, installed Revolver 4 beta (9.2.1.11)by gnufabio..
My question:
How can I safely revert back to Stock Rom with root?
Bit afraid to try any Stock Rom posted everywhere without advise from pros.
Thanks.
nvflash it, its the safest way i know of, but you have to have sbk1 but if you dont want to loose data flash it in CWM, wipe dalvik, and then flash it, unless your transformer implodes, but go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334673here if you flash via cwm, its alot easier

I have seen this posted here, and elsewhere.
Simple - Go to the ASUS Support site and download the latest ICS firmware for your version (WW, US, JP, TW, CN, etc).
Unzip the file 1 time (it will still be a zip file) and place it on a microSD card.
Boot into CWM recovery.
Choose zip from SD
Select the zip from the microSD
Once it finishes installing you will be back to 100% stock unrooted ROM and it will also flash back to stock recovery.
Thanks.

OK I couldn't figure out after reading so I'll ask...
I'm on jb, locked bootloader, all stock. My goal is to simply get root back, no custom ROM.
Treat my question as if I just took it out of the box running jb.
If I simply unlock the bootloader and follow step 3, will that do the job, or am I missing something?

Can't follow link from my phone, but if yourw talking about Krabappel's guide then yes, just follow the directions after JB is installed and you are solid. Unlock bootloader, Flash recovery, flash root. Just did it and I was locked and stock with the OTA JB update

OK I've taken the plunge but having a slight problem...
Unlock good
Flash cwm recovery good..
Booted into recovery good..
Installing superuser zip bad... it seems cwm can't mount /sdcard. I'm using internal storage to try and do this. I have no external card. I saw an option to try and mount /sdcard but it simply said error mounting when I tried it. What should I do about this?

I have a strange problem. A while ago I successfully unlocked my infinity. That was before the jb update. I also successfully flashed custom recoveries and several roms. Didn't ran into any problems. When the official jb update came out, I restored original recovery and flashed a stock ics Rom, and after that successfully applied the jb update. The second update .30 also went smooth. I used the update file from Asus servers. Now I want to flash a custom recovery again in order to flash cleanrom. In adb I see my device and I can reboot with fastboot and stuff. So I think my drivers are ok. However as soon as I start to flash recovery.img it just says sending recovery and that's it. It just hangs there. Nothing happens. I tried everything, from changing usb ports and uninstalling drivers... It just can't send the recovery img. I use Scott's script to flash the recovery.blob. any ideas?

I can't use it because it needs root, and as long as I don't have a custom recovery I'm unable to root my stock jellybean Rom. Or is there already another way to root?

Are you saying you can not get TWRP or CWM installed ? or are you saying you do have one installed but no root ?
If it is the latter then can't you just flash a custom rom that has root built in ( like Baked ) then go back to twrp and now with root you can wipe and flash stock. ? I am sorry if I am miss understanding your question. But at least you get a free 'bump'

Thats correct, i am trying to get custom recovery, after that root is no problem.
Edit: i just installed a clean windows 8 installation. So no old drivers left behind or other weird stuff. I put my transformer in fastboot mode, driver is automatically installed, i see it under device manager. Stillno luck.... it hangs saying sending recovery.... no error messages. My previous attempt was under win7.

Glenner, did you make sure you have the img file in the same folder as you fastboot/adb command files?
If it says "sending recovery", I'd assume that it found the local file.
I don't use Windows, but I always read about driver issues in Windows. Maybe the auto-installed driver is wrong? Does "fastboot devices" return question marks or nothing?
i'm happy to report that finally it worked! seemed something strange with drivers/USB ports after all. Despite i already changed USB ports under my win 7 installation, i tried it again under win8, and suddenly it worked. I didn't reinstall the drivers or something, all went automatically. So the strange issues are driver issues for sure. Anyway, currently happy running cleanrom 2.3
thanks for all your suggestions and thinking along.....

Just recently got the TF700 and have got to do something about the performance. Looking at the threads it seems running a custom ROM+Kernel is the only way to make this thing perform better.
In going through the how-to threads, I think I did things in the wrong order.
I used the ASUS Unlocking tool to unlock the device, but didn't downgrade it first to JB 4.1.1 so I can root it using the motochomper(?).
Any thoughts on how I can proceed to root the device and install TWRP next?
Thanks!

Just use motochopper to root (This tool worked on all JB version) then download Goomanager from the market and install TWRP. Once done use twrp to flash cromi-X rom.

Much thanks! I now have my device rooted and unlocked. In a previous post you had mentioned to flash cromi-x custom rom after root/unlock. I read about the 2 different flavours it offers...ODEX and DEODEX and I'm aware of the differences. Is there a favorite choice between the 2? Also, you mention to use TWRP to flash cromi-x, but can I not also use GooManager to flash as well?
Thanks.

I would use TWRP to flash, I preferred ODEX (smoother, snappier reported by most ppl). Download "rebooter" app from the market (red circle logo), then open it and select boot into recovery, it should boot you directly into twrp, then select install, then browse to cromi-X zip file and execute it.
Sorry to hijack the thread but im having similar issues, everytime i do a OTA update my tablet resets root and i have the VOODOO rootkeeper app but it does not work.

to enable debugging: go to settings about and press seven times on build number(correct if wrong) a message should appear and debugging should be there again

With the new bootloader you don't have the usb icon as you will be in fastboot mode as soon as you enter bootloader.

Fastboot for JB 4.2.1 is volume down and power button, you should see 3 icons and read the text, it should say fastboot mode enabled.
edit- volume up and power buttons is APX mode (black screen).
Hello all,
I just got a TF300T and set it up, and with hindsight rather stupidly, OTA'd it to 10.6.1.27.5 (4.2.1)
I have spent quite a while on this forum deciding what ROM's to get etc
and i was going to follow the guides and realised that they are for 10.6.1.27.1 latest and that motochopper doesn't work for that firmware
Just generally, what can I do?
I don't really want to install loads of stuff and get settled in to my tf300t if im just going to wipe it when i root and flash
Will i need to unlock the bootloader?
Are there any other questions i should be asking instead?
Cheers, any help would be appreciated

I've read the motochopper root method doesn't work on 27 versions. So either downgrade to 15 and use motochopper or unlock the bootloader. Unlocking makes things much easier to achieve and maintain, and you can run the latest version with root easily.

- no you can't relock
- yes it is possible to downgrade, however unlike upgrade, downgrading deletes all of your data (so back up first and then downgrade)
I have the latest update on my tf300t and I have it unlocked. However, no method I've tried will allow me to install a custom recovery or get root access. I'm at a loss as what to do. I've tried the motochopper method and I've tried several that have me download files to my sd and try to flash them through recovery. All I get there is a little dead android with an exclamation point. Asus Sync won't even work, so any method that uses that is useless to me...

As previously stated....... you need to downgrade your system. The latest OTA will not allow you to use motochopper. Boot into fastboot, install universal drivers, download ( and verify md5 ) an older 4.2 build, fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system ( the blob file unpacked ) THEN use motochopper.

I've tried downgrading. But whenever I enter the command prompt it says device not found. The tablet shows up in my drives list and I can view and transfer files. I've updated SDK, checked the drivers and even tried just installing a downgrade through RDK. I even tried using a terminal emulator as well, to no avail.

Are you trying while the factory rom is up and running? If so, You need to be in fastboot mode ( power on holding vol down ). Then try fastboot. You should have asus fastboot come up as a device inside of your device manager.
