No, this is for STOCK with root only

Awsome work again Roach2010. Thank you

That doesn't make sense to me. If its for rooted tf's, it shouldn't matter what rom you are running.
No? I'm no expert though.

So is this 8.4.4.11 rooted or HC 3.2 rooted?
The title of the tread and ^^^^ got me confused....

It's patches rather than a full rom so it can only be successfully be applied over 8.4.4.11 stock.

Sorry, It upgrades stock 8.4.4.11 to 8.6.5.6 (3.2) and adds/keeps root. It also needs to be flashed with CWM recovery.

That didn't take long... Amazing work Roach, thank you!

Once someone applies this to a stock ROM, can't they remove all the patch files from the zip, copy the files from their 3.2 ROM into the zip, and update the updater-script to remove the patching instructions/replace with copy instructions? That would essentially give us a zip file that could update any version to 3.2, no?

Yeah this didn't work for me...it fails to install and got a message about tegra zone....

didn't work for me either, got error for kindle-oem.apk i removed kindle before and wheni put it back in still getting the same error, pls fix this can't wait to get to 3.2 lol

So this flashes 3.2? If I have Prime 1.6 now, and flash this, I'll have Stock 3.2?

Being a dickhead isn't fundamental.

Thanks Roach! Trying this now....Seems to be installing just fine atm.
Any idea when you'll have Prime updated for this? Can't wait for it.
Thanks again! I'd buy you a beer if my kid didn't cost so much.
EDIT: Flashing it in CWM worked just fine....taking a while to boot, but whatever. I'm sure it's all fine....
EDIT2: Just cause I'm wondering, should we be flushing our cache and data and such in CWM before rebooting? Just wondering.....
And just booted into 3.2. Works great!

It's a rite of passage, lol. Serioulsy though, he's right. It clearly states you've got to be on a STOCK Rom. You stated you were on 1.6 Prime, so there was no reason for you to think it would work directly without flashing back to stock. =\

It's meant to be flashed on top of Super's Stock Root Repack ROMs for example

No actually, it only clearly states that you have to be on 8.4.4.11.

How to root the latest JB

Hi, sorry for noob question, but what is the easiest way to root the latest firmware? I don't want to unlock bootloader.
Downgrade to ICS? Aslo I would like to save my data (game progress etc.).
I read a lot of tuts, but I ever don't know what to do.

You can't downgrade. At this time, the only way is to unlock the bootloader and flash root in.

I have the same question, I have a stock firmware, locked (I guess), updated to the latest version.
Can I use the following guide?

Sure you can IMO
You can do it on first.
Click to my sig, goto my index for tf300 and you will find the Asus unlock tool

But is it necessary? Can I root without unlocking?

As I said, if you are on JB bootloader, you cannot root without unlock your device...for the moment

i know u are really busy man but i also know if u want u can ) plz work on tf300tg if u want ) i like all developers <3

so it looks i'm like screwed? My TF300 is running JB and is not unlocked. And the ASUS unlock tool isn't working....so is there eventually going to have a way to root without unlock?

As I said a lot of time, you can't if you are not unlocked!

In JB i can't root if i'm not unlocked. Is that "forever" or a "just for now" thing? Because ASUS's unlock tool is giving me the error that it can't connect to the server. Should I just ditch my tf300 now?

I have the same issue about this error message and I search how is possible to unlock my tab with different method. Someone have idea?
Thanks

I think it's "just for now" and they're going to develop one tool for JB 4.2. Don't forget that this tool has been built in first for ICS version.

Thanks for your reply. I want it to be the 8013 because that's the US version and it comes with an app I really want. (The KNO textbooks app). It's only available on the US version. I have seen the two rooting methods, but neither explicitly says if I can change the 8010 to US firmware.

so just edit your build.prop, change the stuff from 8010 to 8013 and that will let you install that app. That was what I did to get the 4.2 camera working on this tablet before other librarys were put out to have it working right, switched to make it think it was a nexus.
So make those changes and then install the app, making a backup first of course

You've been very helpful. I will root and try this method. Thanks for your replies.
Edit: Is there a guide about changing build props you could point me to? I've never done this particular thing before. Thanks again.

[Q] TWRP does not mount

Hi
I have installed the JB version of TWRP 2.5.0.0 Touch Recovery! via fastboot. Before that, I had the latest Asus 4.2.1 rom installed.
Now it boots into TWRP but it can't mount anything.
Please help. Thank you very much.

Hmmm interesting... Well have you even tried to flash a new recovery?? I haven't heard of anyone flashing the tg version on a t but theoretically you should be able to just overwrite it.. But I assume you've already tried this (I hope)..

That's not what you said in the OP. In the OP, you said you had the 4.2 bootloader and flashed a -JB recovery. The -JB recoveries are for the 4.1 bootloader. Your brick doesn't have as much to do with the T vs. TG mixup as it did with you missing the sticky thread that the warned against flashing -JB recoveries with the 4.2 bootloader.

[Q] I made a newbie mistake, I updated!

Hi All!
I updated my Nexus 5 to 4.4.3 OTA and didn't backup. I didn't think I would loose my root but, it seems I did. The phone is still unlocked but I can't boot into a recovery.
My question is, Can I root the phone again without loosing my data?
Thanks,
J

This. Rooting is as simple as flashing a custom recovery and flashing SuperSU.. If you seriously can't do that I recommend you don't even try to root.

Because you don't learn the basics of using a rooted phone. Then when you need real help you don't have the basic knowledge and it's very difficult to help you.
