i wouldn't. just wait for a developer to post a rooted version of the update and flash it in recovery. ive heard root + ota updates are kinda a hit or miss as to whether it will toast you or not
I'm having trouble too help?

Lock your bootloader first. Updates check that.

Yeah locking the bootloader would work, you need to return 100% to stock though, so factory software it was shipped with, I don't know whether you still have that or if you can grab it from the official sony site, there is probably a copy of it in the forums

Running PC Companion with an unlocked bootloader is lethal. You could wait it out like PhxkinMassacre said,or skip the reverting to stock,but the bootloader is a must lock.

Hi,
I was wondering how to root my Asus tf300t WW (build number JRO03C.WW_epad-10.4.2.13-20120907), Android 4.1.1? All those that I found was on with US type firmware.
Cheers..

I am in the same dilemma, I am using the TW build.
But I decided to unlocked the bootloader first. The APK for ICS works fine for JB.

Ya... Is essentially the same steps as I found. I have manage to unlock. Will try to flash recovery and root later. Wish me luck... :fingers-crossed:
What I have understood so far, the steps are affecting the recovery and install su into the /system partition (no wipe). It does not affect the kernel nor Android itself. So, technically, it should be generic for all build.

Ok, I'm glad for you
But it will be better to explain how you have root your tf300 with this process.
Could you explain for other users.
Thanks

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?

I have modified the part 3 of this guide and you will find here:

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.

If you mean sim unlock than I don't believe you can, you will need to use Odin/hiemdal to revert to stock ICS and then follow the guide (here in forum)
Once complete you can than flash what you please and will stay unlocked for good
