You can unlock the bootloader with ASUS's official app on their website, search up transformer tf300 and there will be a .apk that you can install to unlock it. After that, use fastboot to flash a recovery such as cwm or twrp, then flash a root package or a ROM with root. Hope this helped!
Oky thanks can you send me link on how to flash using fastboot on tf300? Also cant I just keep factory room and root that if ao how any links will be helpful thanks

You can read this thread for more information about unlocking and rooting, but before starting anything, please think about it and be aware that unlocking the bootloader will:
- void your warranty
- prevent further OTA updates for your tablet from Asus
Cheers

Before you read, there are some considerations: I unlocked my device last night and I am running either .29 or .30 of the ICS firmware. I also, never connected the device to my network until after I unlocked it. So if you have a TF300T runing the above versions of ICS, then it should work for you. You said you: "updated to latest via ota..." If you did this, you are on Jelly Bean and at the moment, there is no known way to make your device "unbrickable." You can still mod it, but if you dont follow directions perfectly, you could easily brick your device. Now without further hesitation....
Here it is, the TF300T unlocking guide:
Go to the Asus site and download the v7 tool
copy the v7 tool to the tablet
run the v7 tool on your tablet from the tablet GUI
it will install the v7 unlocker application
run the unlocker application from your app drawer
you have to accept a few agreements
click the unlock button
after that, your device will reboot
This is how to confirm that the unlock tool was successful: After your TF300 reboots, you will see the normal ASUS logo in the middle and some very small text in the top left will say: "device unlocked."
Now for rooting:
If you already have root, and you want to keep your exiting root access, make a backup after unlocking. The backup instructions are included in the "unbrickable" method. If you do not have root, just make a backup anyways. Then you can flash a ROM onto your device that is pre-loaded with root.
I hope that answered your questions.
Thanks but no I am on jb. So I will just wait till a solution comes out for unbrickable before trying anything dont want to mod ot just want tp remove a few apps

It seems someone always bricks on something that was thought to be unbrickable. No I'm not suggesting you go forward, just the opposite. As long as you aren't sure about change enjoy your tablet as it is and just forget about the apps that bother you.
Good Luck!

So I have, until now, been content with a locked boot loader on my tab. I rooted it back on .30, but installed the jb firmware when it was released, so I no longer have root. I've been looking into it and it looks like there's a way to restore my root, but that's not really my question. I'm wondering if there's a way to unlock my boot loader now and start trying out some custom ROMs. On the Asus website it says the tool is only available for ICS. Has anyone tried it anyways? There's no workaround that I missed, is there? Apologies in advance for my noobieness and thank you for any input.

If you check the thread here he says he unlocked the bootloader after updating to JB, so yes apparently it works anyways.
So then what was his mistake? Using CWM? Trying to install an ICS ROM after taking the JB OTA? Haha saying "device unlocked" on the boot animation is meaningless if it boot loops.

I think his mistake was trying to install an ICS rom, after updating to JB. I'm assuming he didn't know he was basically trying to downgrade :/ which I don't think anyone has managed to do yet as far as I'm aware...
i want to unlock my device as i dont like the new 4.2.1 update and want to change to custom or go back to 4.1.1.
do i need to unlock to go back to 4.1.1. official?

I think you can upgrade and downgrade Asus stock ROM just by placing the firmware on an sdcard. No need to unlock in this case.
You probably need to unpack the downloaded ZIP once.
There are more details somewhere, use search!

Possibly for some but the risk of soft bricking is high as you have no script support, and still have a secure kernel. The main issue would be you would have to manual copy files and change stuff, then remember to undo it if you accept an ota update.
Read the updater script in the flash able mod - but personally I'd just unlock. What is holding you back?

Why are you worried? Life is about risks. In this case if you won't risk your warrantee then you cant benefit from the mods. What are the chances of the transformer breaking under normal use on it's own? There's not a lot you can do if you root - a few build.prop tweaks maybe not much else.

Hi there,
I'm not sure of unlocking the bootloader of my Tipo, cos the last time I installed a custom ROM (Paranoid), my mobile died and fortunately I've recoved it using Update Service.
Now I want to install JB (Pure CM+: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2284432) but I need some help and don't wanna lost the money!
Thanks in advance
to unlock bootloader you must downlad SE bootloader unlocker, install fastboot drivers from its folder, type your imei and press unlock bootloader....very simple

Unlocking bootloader is not dangerous, installing custom kernels might be.

your phone didn't die then, it dies when it won't even vibrate or charge, you just didn't know how to flash a ROM.
Thanks for reply, now I've installed CWM Recovery, then I've to unlock bootloader and then flash the zip file.

That just means your boot loader is locked. Unlock your bootloader and you will be fine. Beanstown has a one click root method that is very easy to use and will unlock your bootloader as well.

He's on 4.3 with locked bootloader, you can't unlock bootloader on 4.3 it will brick the phone.

Yes it will. I was assuming he was rooted from a previous version. If he took the 4.3 Verizon ota update then he will not be able to unlock his phone. But that is what that message is telling him.
Edit: I posted the link to the casual root by beanstown but I hope you read stuff before you just jump in. The OP instructions are made for a reason and it clearly states in there that it is not for people who took the 4.3 stock ota update.
