How to downgrade tf300t from jelly bean to ics?

Since the last update I'm having serious issues with my tablet and I'm assuming that they are related to the Update. The major problem is with the touchscreen that seems to be touched in a specific area (around 1 inch from bottom , portrait or landscape mode, doesn't matter)... and make nearly impossible to work with the tablet...
Said that...
I really want to go back to I.C.S.... ANYONE CAN HELP.... PLEASE!!!

Thoses guides are for people that have'nt installed the OTA JB update, the OP should make that clear in his guide. You cannot downgade from JB to ICS, this is a known fact. The bootloader changes when you update to JB and you cannot go back to the ICS bootloader.

So correct me if I'm right,I'm on stock OTA JB, since I can't go back to ICS to root/flash ROM's,what can I actually do now,unlock the bootloader ,if so why for, root, but what prerequisites do I take?
I'm new to the tab world so be gentle,

The Asus unlock tool works with the JB bootloader so you will be able to flash a new recovery and some JB rom's, only one is avaible at the moment and it's Hydro.

So do I unlock the bootloader first, then follow the instructions in the OP for that ROM?

Download and run the unlock tool, then you need to flash a custom recovery with your computer. Then you can follow the HOWTO to flash HYDRO.

Question about Unlocking on Jelly Bean

I want to unlock my Infinity but when I was going to download the unlock tool from the Asus website I read that it only works for ICS .. I already did the OTA for jelly bean and still want to unlock. So my question is will the unlock tool work for jelly bean?

Yes, it has been confirmed to work on Jelly Bean by multiple users. It will work fine.

I used the unlock app on JB and it supposedly worked. The message "your device is now unlocked" or something similar was displayed.
I still have some questions:
1) How can I be sure my device is unlocked?
2) Is all the fuss about the .30 upgrade concerns nvflash only and not unlocking in general?
3) Would I be able to use custom ROMs in the future? Is there specific tools I will need to achieve that?
P.S. I use GNU/Linux on the desktop. I have both the SDK and the NDK installed. I already use adb sometimes and I know my way around CLI environments. I'm just new to Android and all the vendor lock-ins.

The good news is YES!
I did it yesterday and now I am unlocked, rooted using the method posted by hiemashu (how to root JB), updated recovery to TWRP2.2.2.2 64bit version, flashed with ULE 1.1 ROM and since updated to the newest TWRP 2.2.2.3.
The only thing to make sure of is that you use a USB port connected directly to the Motherboard. I tried one via a multi-card reader and while I was able to fastboot reboot I could not flash until I changed port.
Go for it! You won't regret it! Anyway, it's not really yours 'til you void the warranty!!!
Cheers,
Eric

How about the USB port on the keyboard / mobile dock? Or are you suggesting we'd need an OTG adapter directly into the TF700T tablet itself?

When i run the unlock tool, I get the message "the device model is not supported". Is there a work-around for this?

No, it didn't. Thanks for you reply but I discovered what was wrong: I followed a link within this or another thread to ASUS's unlock tool for the TF201. When I realized this, i simply downloaded the device-appropriate drive and am now unlocked.

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.

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 would like to say yes, but I fear that this won't work on your TF300TG... Sorry

I'm trying to unlock my bootloader via asus provided apk. I keep getting the error "An unknown error occurs, which maybe a network connection issue. please wait and try again later." Any know a fix for this?

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.

[Q] stuck at ICS

hi, First I want to describe my problem. Many of tf700 users had update failure when jb came out and I am one of them. I used my tablet with ics until today. I want to update it to jb. I already read some manuel updating guides but no luck I couldnt get it worked. Even followed the guide about dmclient etc. And many of these guides they are redirecting me to asus website for jb firmware. In asus site when choosing OS there is no OS to be selected ! I dont know why. I am on .30 version of ics. Thanks in advance

OK, so you have a lot of options, do you want to run custom rom?? it's a night and day between custom rom and stock. If you are unlocked, there is NO REASON to stay with stock rom!!!

Yeah I unlocked for it but you know whats my problem. I can flash ics custom roms I know. Is there a way update to jb with twrp ? Or what do you recommend me to do
For example can I directly flash cleanrom while i am not on jb ?

with twrp you could flash full stock JB firmware (included JB bootloader), or just flash independant JB bootloader, then flash cleanrom. The easiest way is flash JB bootloader then Cleanrom. Make sure your twrp is either version 2.3.10 or newer.
JB bootloader and cleanrom can be found here:

[Q] TF300T with all current OTA updates - couple questions before unlocking

I'm on the brink of unlocking the bootloader on my TF300T (shipped with ICS; got it December 2012), but wanted to verify a couple things before taking the plunge.
I understand that OTA updates from Asus will no longer work. I also see that Asus has all their firmware updates available for direct download from their website - aside from losing root, are there any reasons why I can't use those manual updaters?
I read the "don't install CM10 yet on the 4.2 bootloader" sticky, so I'm not even going to try CM10 yet (although I saw an unofficial CM10.1 is compatible). Once it's compatible, is it worth flashing? I use CM on my phone (HTC Evo 4G) because I don't like Sense (and would have been stuck with Gingerbread!), but on the TF300T, Asus's ROM is generally pretty decent, so what is the advantage (if any)?
Right now, all I want to do is:
Unlock the bootloader using the official Asus APK
Install recovery using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982
Root the stock ROM using the same thread
I've looked through the warning threads and most recent stuff here on XDA. Is there anything else I need to worry about, or does the above-referenced thread have me covered?

Anyone? I just want to make CERTAIN I'm covered before I take the plunge...

Well you can root without unlocking if that's all you want to do. You'll get much more benefit unlocking and flashing a custom ROM though.
That guide has it all covered.

I thought with JB and the 4.2 bootloader, you had to unlock to root? Is that not true?
Everything I've seen about rooting indicates that you have to be running ICS to root; JB blocks the previous exploit that was used for rooting.

Bought the TF300 three days ago. Installed all OTA updates, latest bootloader. Rooted with Motofail, seems fine so far.

Is there a particular ROM that's better than the stock JB? I especially like the built-in performance widgets in the notification bar in Asus's ROM. That being said, I could do without the crapware...

Do you have a link for the Motofail you used? I can't find one confirmed for the latest TF300T update.
ETA: I ended up using this: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...roid-root-exploit-412/?pid=244281#entry244281
Worked perfectly on the latest Asus 4.2.1 build.
