i think the latest firmware is .30 for now
I used this method here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706588
Worked with .29 and redid it after updating to .30. Very simple.
Yes its in the prime section but I found it from this thread.

I just got a tf300 and it keeps telling me to do the update. Should I take the update or would this make it harder to flash etc?

that depends.
if you only want to root it but keep stock firmware and recovery, you should do it now before updating. as long as you are on version .17 you can use sparky root to root, OTA root keeper to backup root, update, use OTA root keeper to restore Root and enjoy.
if you want to Flash ROM's and stuff, you can do whatever you like. you will have to unlock the bootloader and as far as i can tell, that is supposed to work on any software version as long as it is ICS. unlock, flash recovery, flash your ROM of choice.

So if I want to flash stuff it won't matter? Most ROMs will come rooted, so then do the update?

You can update and still root on the latest firmware. I got mine and updated out of the box and was able to root it easily. I don't know why someone is saying you need to be on .17

Ok so there's no way to do it without unlocking the bootloader using the asus utility?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda premium
Even if you update to .30, you could always root it via Debugfs method.

The only thing you can do without unlocking the bootloader is rooting it, nothing else.

Can't without unlock. Please search forums first
But if you decide to unlock, follow Krabappel's guide in General, works like a charm

Already on JB or always on ICS ?
Already rooted ?
If you are on ICS, you can use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper for backup your root and Su.
When you update your TF300 on JB by OTA, restore your root with Voodoo.
That's what I've done.
Look this screenshots:

No, you can't downgrade at this time.
I had rooted my tf300t after US OTA upgrade forced...
I desinstall SuperUser and install SuperSU:
SuperSU on Android Market / Google Play (free)
SuperSU *Pro* on Android Market / Google Play (Pro/donate addon, requires free version)
Then I install TWRP for JB like you can see in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843694
And then I flash SuperSU.zip, and with SuperSu app intelled on device all goes well...
And if not, after do it, you can go to Setting of SuperSU and make in clean Reinstall or Change Super User APP, and :fingers-crossed: reboot the tablet...
That sounds like you had an unlocked bootloader. OP wants to root with locked.
Hi, Can a Brand new TF300T with JB be unlocked currently ?

Yes, use the unlock apk from the Asus site, downloadable in the utilities section I think.

Rooting on jb with locked bootloader is not possible at this time, unless you had root on a previous version before upgrading.

You said above that it was possible to unlock stock JB on brand new Asus by using the Asus downloadable but it clearly says this will only work for ICS on their site. Can stock JB be unlocked? My infuse was so much easier to do.

It clearly says that but in reality the same tool will unlock the bootloader if on jb. I'm proof this is so as I was and still am on stock jb, and it worked nicely.

Chances are that the description hasn't been updated to reflect the new JB update.
I thought that ICS and JB bootloaders where different,thus it wouldn't work, or am I wrong?

You are correct in that they are different, but the unlock tool works just the same on both.

If you are on ICS, you can root without unlocking using the debugfs method
of. If you are on jb and want to root you must unlock the bootloader first, then follow step 3 of the rooting guide posted in the general section.

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.

Ok, I'm confused. I rooted before I took the update thinking I would continue to have root after....that isn't the case. So now I want to root again, Does this link help me with that? I don't think It will from what I am reading but again, I'm not sure.

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.

In order to root the Infinity without unlocking the boot loader you must first downgrade to ICS, root,then use OTA rootkeeper to keep the root when upgrading to JB.
