I'm afraid it didn't work.
I tried the oldest version though, the only one with the sh script.

Hello,
I managed to run the latest version and it seems we've got a problem. Apparently Transformers and Nexus 7 are not "permeable" to the exploit.
Needs to be investigated, there is a post in the Nexus 7 section...

The method I linked works.
Is it seriously too much work to revert to an older version, gain root, save root, then update and regain root?
If it is, maybe you shouldn't be bothering?
Just Root using Universal Xoom Root, then flash the latest Super User from here http://androidsu.com/superuser/ using CWR I used the Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip from then I gained root on 4.1.1

[Q] Upgrading to jelly beans manually

Hello guys.
I'm sorry for the noob questions, but I'm very new to the Android world.
I just bought an Asus TF700T and I decided to root it.
This wasn't possible as my device had JB installed, so I decided to downgrade it to ICS with a method that could keep it locked.
After that I rooted it without any problems
First of all my first question is this:
Is it normal that my tablet now is full of chinese applications? I downloaded the firmware from the asus site so I'm just wondering why it is like that and how to fix it
Also is it normal that I don't have the google play store application installed?
After this I wanted to know the correct steps to upgrade it again to JB keeping the root at the same time
Thanks a lot
Sounds to me like you flashed the Taiwanese firmware.

ye you are totally right...
I'm trying to install the WW version now.
Anyway after I installed it and rooted it how can I update to the latest version of JB?
thanks
Edit: I tried to download Root Keeper and to update it to JB, but the root is gone
So I'm stuck at the upgrading part
You need to install voodo before you update to JB, save the root and then temp un-root it.
If that doesn't work as easily as that (which it didn't in my case) then follow this guide

That worked great for me

[Q] tf700 JB to ICS downgrade vs same process on Prime

I used to have a Prime and I read that once you went from ICS to JB, you could never downgrade due to the JB bootloader. However, it seems not the case on the TF700 as many downgrade to ICS to root then upgrade back to JB. Am I understanding this correctly? Is the software just that much different between these devices to do this? I was just curious about this. Thanks.

Yes, the tf700 you can downgrade back to ICS, the reason been is the ICS version .30 bootloader is using the same JB "Signature".

[Q] Rooted, unlocked on 4.1.1, How can I update to 4.2x?

I have a rooted and unlocked tf300t running 4.1.1 and CleanRom 2.5. After being away from the scene for awhile, I came back to see that they had released 4.2 for my device. Is it possible to update my device to 4.2 or am I stuck at 4.1.1 seeing as how I am not running an Asus firmware. I am really overwhelmed right now, and getting very frustrated. Any insight would be a tremendous help. Thank you very much for even taking the time to read my post.

I would say....
Return to stock Asus ROM v4.1
Reflash appropriate recovery...
Once stable, flash stock Asus 4.2...
Reflash appropriate recovery which will be different than 4.1 recovery.... Read the twrp thread carefully for info on this. If in doubt, there's an upgrade guide in the general section.

[Q] TF300T upgrade 4.1.1 to 4.2.2

Hi!,
I have my asus TF300 unlock in version 4.1.1 with the BlueROM (this is since Oct 2012).
I would like to go for 4.2.2 (mainly flash 11 support is the cause)
Ive been searching and I can see a lot of brick devices...
Mine is already unlocked and rooted in 4.1.1
Is there any guide to go for 4.2.2?
Do I need to:
- update bootloader
- install room
- root 4.2?
Or what? I am confused...
update done with success!
Solved Thread
Maybe you can mark this thread as solved

hey im in the same boat. im on an old CROMI rom 4.1( rooted and unlocked boot loader) and i want to go to stock 4.2 and then re-root.
how did you complete this. im worried about bricking it.
i was planning on flashing the stock 4.2 (10.1.6.15 update) from asus then rooting it with the new method to avoid bricking.
is this what you did?
