[Q] Help with unlocking and rooting for a newby. - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I am asking if someone would help me with unlocking and rooting my tf300t because I am new to rooting and flashing. My tablet has not been modified, it is running on the offical 10.4.2.18 firmware update so my tablet is up to date. I need to have a step by step guide of the unlocking and rooting process along with what to download so that I will be able to flash cm10 roms on my tablet. Thank you for your help.

Have a look.

[Q] Rooting on JB Stock is it possible?

Hello!
I bought a Transformer Tf700 the other day and stupid as I was ( It seems ) updated it to JB before unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device.
So I have been searching around the forums, but it seems that there is no way to actually Root a JB device that did not unlock the bootloader in beforehand.
So my question is can I root&unlock the device?
The guides I have read only tells me that I can only root & unlock from ICS and to Downgrade to ICS ( from my understanding ) I need to have the bootloader unlocked... Witch makes this a vicious circle, so from what I have read its not possible to downgrade to ICS with out unlocking bootloader. And I can only unlock the bootloader on ICS.
So does anyone know away that I have missed? Or is it just happy waiting time for me ?
Best regards
Zibbr.
You still have to downgrade, but you don't need to be unlocked. Just download the .30 firmware, pop it on an SD and it will notify you to downgrade. Also, the unlock tool still works on JB if you still wish to unlock.
I recently bricked my device and had to do this, so it's certainly possible. I'm not unlocked just yet, but people say the unlock tool does work.
EDIT: I just used the Unlock Tool and can confirm that it works with Jelly Bean just fine...now to hope I don't regret unlocking!

[Q] Step-by-Step Tutorial Root for XT926 Running Jellybean?

Can anyone write up a step-by-step (literally) tutorial for rooting an XT926 device that is already running on Jellybean.
(or add link if one already exists)
Also do similar tutorials exists for unlocking the bootloader and flashing roms??
(I've never messed with any of my phones before and I'm too scared to try without a tutorial but I really want to use my phone to its full potential. Hope you guys can help)

[Q] How to keep the root?

Hi, my situation is the following: the Asus service point flashed back the 4.0 ROM upon my request, since I found the 4.1 OTA update buggy. Now I want to root the tablet with 'One-click' method, WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader (in case of ICS ROM it is possible if I learnt well).
Now my question is: can I keep my root rights if I flash the newest, .20 version factory Jelly Bean ROM, still WITHOUT unlocking the bootloader? If yes, how?
Thanks in advance!

Need help updating Rooted TF300T V10.4.2.17 to V10.4.2.20

I'm having trouble updating my unlocked tf300t, there used to be a guide on this site, but have spent hours looking for it and no luck, so basically can anyone help me with the steps needed to update, note that my bootloader is unlocked but no root access, lost it in the previous update.
I used method 3 at the bottom but check out all 3. just substitute firmware version

hope it helps you.
What about using fastboot with a PC to flash twrp recovery, then use twrp to flash the .20 zip? That's what I do. You don't need root to do that if you're unlocked.
