Hello fellow tablet users ^.^. I bought an asus tf300t brand new for $280. Great price huh but for the life of me i cant figure out how to root the damn thing. I read the guides but to my understanding i have to unlock my bootloader(JB) and then add a recovery then i can root? There is no way for me to just get root itself? Any help will be appreciated!! Btw the build number is 10.4.2.13
At this time, you cannot root jb without unlocking your bootloader. So do this
Get the unlock tool from the Asus site
Unlock your device
Follow step 3 of this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30516010

Has there been any update on the TF700KL (LTE) bootloader unlocking front? Last info I could find on the forum was that there was no working tool for it, though that was a while ago. I also don't see anything on the Asus support site...
Im bricked my tablet ...
downloaded stock firmware from webpage but cant find any tool for up firmware by PC
Anyone help me plz... !!!
Thanks for read

My question is in the title. So I have recently bought a manufacturer refurbished TF300T off eBay, everything is working like a charm except for that it cannot be unlocked using the official Unlock Device Tool (throws an error saying "Unknown error. This might be a network connection issue..."). I contacted ASUS customer support and their answer is that a refurbished product simply cannot be unlocked without any further explanation, which doesn't really make sense to me. Anyway, I've been searching on the Internet for other means to unlock my device but no luck at all. I would appreciate if anyone can help me solve this problem or at least give me an explanation as to why unlocking can't be done on a refurbished tablet. Many thanks in advance!
P.S. I am trying to install Ubuntu on my device that's why it needs to be unlocked.
Suggest you read more before you brick it. Unlocking the bootloader and rooting are two separate things. Kingo roots it easily. You'll be staying locked if unlock tool does not work for you.

thank you for your reply. I thought rooting and unlocking were the same thing.
Hi 2easy4sam,
Were you able to unlock your transformer?
I also have a refurb tf300t, and the official unlock tool doesn't work on it.. Can't use the tablet with stock ROM anymore!

Go to Asus Suport with screenshots of the error, a speedtest, build number and mac adress. Tell them to update their database with correct informations. Then you'll be able to unlock your tablet with this tool.
If they tell you can't try it one more time and don't let them before your tablet is unlocked. Don't listen to the guys who said it isn't supported anymore.
I've been talking with a woman from asus support, she was cool and did what she had to do. The first time it didn't work, they probably didn't upgraded as they had to... I insisted and she retried it. Now my TF300T is unlocked and everything works well.
If you are cool with them and you insist, it will be ok.
PS: Sorry for my bad english
Hey everyone,
I've been looking for a way to unlock my asus memo pad 10 for a while now, but no luck. I can't even find a section for the device on this forum. Is it the same as the TF300 rooting and unlcoking wise ?? can I use the same instructions to unlock and root my device ??
Please help me to unlock my device and root it, I don't have much experience with rooting so simple instructions would be much appreciated
my OS is 4.2.2 JB
model number: K00F
Thanks a lot
