Well, after doing a lot of reading till 1am, im not going to root due to the problems I've heard about. This device is awesome with JB as is, I mean yeah, id love to be the administrator and not the guest... and install a few apps that require root and to have the ability to OC. BUT... it is what it is at this point, I didn't read any of the forums by the time it was too late and I did the upgrade. Aside from all of that... and one know a thread that shows some cool things this tablet can do even bring unrooted?
Be yourself... if I've helped at all, hit the like button.

You are not able to overclock your device without a custom kernel that allow it. You can only root atm if you unlock your bootloader. Unlock bootloader avoids the warranty.

Obviously, did you read the post I just posted??

[Q] Should I flash my tablet

Hello everybody,
I'm actually runing 4.1.1 on my tablet and I would like to update it to a fresh new customized rom (such as Hydro 7)! As I bought my tablet directly from the store 5 months ago, I'm quite hesitating... What do you suggest me!
Do it!
+1 do it!
You wont be disappointed. Just make sure you do your homework well and you'll be fine :good:
And dont forget to ask questions when you hesitate. Better safe than sorry.
The TF300T is a very friendly and helpful community
Get-R-Done! It's well worth it.

I say yes.
Make sure you read up on what you need to do prior. Plus contingencies on or about recovery methods. The worst you can do, is have no options for recovery.
Clearly yes. I recommend btw BAKED Rom because of it's customization (link in my sig)
everything important (should be step by step) should be written here btw
I am mainly scary about loosing my warranty...I mean if I have a problem in the future, Asus will not repair my tablet :/

Then don't do it and suffer poor performance instead.

You are right!
Before Unlocking my device, I installed the SDK manager (to check if I had all the needed files/programs), but I can't see the settings described in the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2041627
PS: I didn't install any driver

Be aware that you might need to register your tablet on the Asus website before the unlock APK will do it's thing. (might take a couple of days after registering before unlock goes through)
Nobody to explain me why I can't install platform tools??

I dont know about installing developer tools however i will tell you how much better the tablet runs afterinstalling cleanrom 3.3 with unters overclocked kernel. Superfast, no more pop ups saying something fails to respond. I did still experience slight performance issues when downloading a movie torrent but not as bad like before. When i downloaded on the stock asus tf300t the tablet became a paper weight. I am currently trying data2sd with a sandisk micro class 10 on cleanrom but having issues. I cant seem to get it working right. Going to keep trying
There thousands of posts related to flash/root and none of them are accurate...Can')t understand ppl always referring to them now
This thread really does tempt me to install a custom ROM on my tablet but i have around 3 months left of my warranty so don't know if it's worth the risk. Furthermore, i'm scared of being bricked

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

is there an updated unlock/root tool? or ...updated version to unlock/root?

I want to unlock/root my tf300t.....I received it Feb 2013- I just "registered" it yesterday (...oooops) perhaps......
I have been all over the internet and youtube to see what it will take to unlock and root. I have found good things, and read bad things (as some to say...the unlocking tool is not working if you are on JB-which I am) and I dont want any "problems"
then I am very not good at the whole abd thing at all- the thing I have noticed is alot of things posted wether videos or written stuff on forums are dated back in 2012....
We have been fortunate out there with gnexu's or droidx's or what have you-allowing us to have a tool that unlocks "a device"..and actually roots aswell....Is there an updated tool out there that these wonderful devs created that will do the same for our beloved tf300t
or to say the least a real easy way from step 1 to finish for me and others...I have unlocked and rooted many devices but I am "hestitant apprehensive but not scared" to unlock and root this-bc I def dont want bloatware and all that crap and roms that will make this tablet superb

OK I understand that I may have sounded like s noob (I'm not I promise) what I really don't understand is extracting files and
placing then here or there ......I have reached the part in trying to root where My tf300t states that it is is fastboot protocol.....I have no idea what to do after that...will the TWRP recovery do the rest....I don't know. Never rooted a tablet. I have rooted many phones though.....

im not sure i understand your frustration... the above post has a link with everything you need to know.. what else are you missing.
And the reason that no one wants to help you is because your asking questions that have been answered probably 1000 times. search around. there are several newbie friendly guides for unlocking and rooting. no offense but that's where you should go first before posting. you must be willing to search around and READ and chances are you will actually get an answer faster that way.
now i would like to help but first read the link posted above and THEN come back and ask questions and provide a more detailed explanation of your problem please and thank you

Ganggreen777, if you do come back and read this, for future reference, coming in here after you are already in fastboot is a little late to be asking questions if you don't know what you're doing. That's a good way to brick a device. I suggest doing all of you're homework first. Especially with this tablet. The TF300 makes an awfully expensive paperweight. :good:
Hopefully you got it all taken care of and you are now running TWRP with your favorite ROM. This forum has a wealth of knowledge, take advantage of it.

Sorry to revive an old thread from the dead... if anyone other than me is even looking at the forum for this phone any more. In regard to rooting it, it's not difficult. It has an unlocked bootloader, so you just have to put the phone in Download mode, use Odin to install CWM recovery, then flash a ROM that comes with root access. There are plenty of them in this forum available for download, and CWM recovery is available as well. Lightly tweaked stock ROMs with root are available, which is pretty much the exact same thing you would be going for by rooting your own stock ROM.

New and need help!!!

Hey everybody. I orderd a tf700t on amazon and it came in today. i have a rooted samsung galaxy plus running on cm10 and i have lots of flashing experience. but on the sgs+, you dont need to unlock your bootloader or such. just install custom recovery, flash rom and you're done.
so now i'm confused and i dont know what to do. I just want to install this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223492
What do i need to do. Precisely?
P.s. i updated the rom to its latest official rom on android 4.2.1, i hope that won't give me any problems

Have you unlocked your bootloader?
To unlock the bootloader you use the official Asus app to do so. You allow unknown sources in settings, download it from their website. Install it and run it.

I just unlocked bootloader USING the official app.
from what i read, i believe i only need to install twrp by using goo manager and then i can just install them am i right?

Yes, after you have flashed your desired recovery, you can start flashing like on your samsung device

First you will receive to root. Unless you all ready have. If not use motochopper I think or just flash a super user zip in recovery.

Goomanager requires root access to flash a recovery and he said that's how he wants to do it.

Lol. Slowdown.
First, what is fastboot? And how can i use it to flash/install the rom/ custom recovery?
Second, where can i find the superuser.zip, and how do i enter stock recovery to flash it?
As said before, using goomanager didnt install twrp because i didnt have root (duh, im such a noob).

Okay first thing is to root. This'll be easiest. Just go to the tf700 general section and find the motochop thread to root. Fallow the directions there to root. Then use Goomanager to flash twrp.
