Just come across this note as I have been looking for way to root my tf300, which is running JB and locked: http://www.android.gs/root-transformer-tf300t-jelly-bean-rom/
One thing I am not sure is ... the method presented in the article might assume the unit is unlocked. However, there is no clarification on that, nor do I see follow up questions.
For unlocked only
If you need a recovery
There is no alternative (unlock bootloader)
I hope to see a way for root jb without unlocking

I updated my TF700T OTA to JB and need to return it to ICS so I can root it.
The developers forum here has the correct ROM US v9.4.5.30 but has no md5 listed with it.
Asus webpage only carries the Jb ROM now. I would like to get the firmware with md5 listed and
a tutorial for rooting a TF700Twith CWM. I used CWM in rooting my Toshiba Thrive and liked the results
I have read so many links on this and found many of them used outdated or incompatible programs for
what I need. I know it should be easy but I like this pad and do not want to brick it.

You can not root with CWM, you only can use CWM to flash root if your device is unlocked. If you are locked you need to use debugfsroot method can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706588

1st. I don't think anyone knows.
2nd. There's always the chance of not getting one anytime soon
3rd. If there is any info on it it will sure be on the top threads in either "general" or the "development" section so you will not miss it.
4th. I WANT ME SOME 4.2.1 LOVE TOO!!!! ( I too have the TG and I don't want to flash the tf300t ROM for various reasons)

Asus took it down very shortly after they had placed it online. No one knows why but it is assumed there was some bug/bugs in it that they didnt want to reach our tablets. Too late for a lot of us. But it's been made available by some members here. I'm sure someone will let you have the link to their copy if they read this post.
thank god im not crazy

I suspect ASUS has stopped the 4.2.1 OTA update as well. I recently replaced the motherboard of my tf700 and ASUS Service Center restored my tablet back to 4.1.1. Since then, no matter how I check, there is no OTA update to 4.2. Nevertheless, this actually makes me really happy, because I pleasantly realize that 4.1 is actually much faster than 4.2, UI is a lot more responsive, stock browser is faster, no app crashing as well. Furthermore, the recent app screen is back to the left edge of the screen, the way I always want it to be. ASUS can take all the time they need to fix 4.2 (if there are indeed problems with it), I'm happy with 4.1.1.

Depending what ASUS did, your serial numbers may no longer match in ASUS servers, which could be another reason as to why you are not receiving updates OTA. If this is true, then you will not be able to unlock either.

I was thinking about this possibility as well, but here is the tricky part: When I received my tablet back from ASUS Service Center, I specifically asked them whether my tablet could receive OTA updates, because when I sent it to them, it was on 4.2 instead of 4.1. After checking for quite some time, the technician said that he had checked ASUS Server and reassured me that my firmware was the latest that they had (he said that the 4.2 update did not exist in their internal server, even though he was aware of the update). Together with the fact that ASUS removed the 4.2 firmware from their website, I suspect that the OTA update is not available as well.
Obviously all of this is just my speculation, as it could simply be the case that ASUS screwed up my serial number (it is still the same though). Since there is no update currently available except for the 4.2 update (I'm on the latest firmware for 4.1), I have no way to check if the OTA update service is working properly.
Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
I just would like to know why they pulled it. Makes me nervous to install one of the ones from the links, if there is something wrong is there going back to 4.1? I know with my tf300 once you went to 4.2 there was no going back.

No it is fine, but there are issues the can sometimes break bluetooth, but it is easy to revert back to 4.1.1. I have those links posted elsewhere and people have used them with no trouble.

They have put the full 10.1.6.14.8 up now.
Sorry if this question is a little basic but my Transformer has been collecting dust for months and I've forgotten some of the rooting basics.
My bootloader is unlocked. I'm rooted and running CleanROM. My recovery is Team Win 2.2.2. I am on Android 4.1.1.
I would like to unroot and take any and all OTA upgrades and then move to the most up to date stock rooted rom.
Could really use a simple step by step run down on how to make that happen. Thanks in advance.
So I downloaded
ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T Firmware: V10.4.2.18 Only for US SKU (Android 4.1) - 2012.12.06 update
ASUS Transformer Pad Kernel Code for Android 4.1 JBOS (V10.4.2.18) - 2012.12.06 update
Can I just flash these from twrp2.2.2 to achieve my above stated goal?

The most recent version is actually V10.6.1.27.5, and you can flash that via fastboot. There is no need to flash a kernel after the stock ROM.
Got it all set! Ended up just flashing the firmware from the Asus site through twrp. Very happy now. Thanks.
