I did read through that I just thought there would be an official way of doing it.

This is perfect. I should have searched harder. This answers all my questions concerning reloading same firmware if needed and no unlock required. THANK YOU

I was thinking like you that you could put the inner zip on a memory card and it would pick it up that way but i haven't heard success using that method. Couldn't hurt to just try it. Won't break anything.

What exactly did you do? Try this
Download desire firmware from Asus website extract that archive into the root of your micro sd card. Insert sdcard into pad and wait a bit, if you don't get an update notification restart tablet with card still inside and wait for notification.
If that doesn't work got to settings about tablet and manually check for for ware update every hour until you get it.

dont forget the file you get from asus needs to extracted once then put that on the root of your memory mate
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2

And if it doesn't work on your external sdcard try putting it in internal storage which is in /sdcard

many thanks! that did the trick for me
just got this TF300TG pad yesterday and my firmware is still dated April. I checked pad settings but said it's the latest. So I went to Asus website to see for any update and they have for 20-July 9.4.4.40 zip file
But then they didn't tell how to manually install it so I searched here instead and voila, I got the answer
Not thinking of unlocking this pad (at the moment) so official releases instead for the mean time

So internal and wait for it in android?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

yep just extract it once then move the new zip file to the root of device and reboot, the wait and in the notificatons it should pop up saying it has found an update, if that dont work put it on the root of the micro sd card

I did all that except the wait part lol

I had it extracted on my internal memory( /sdcard ). Shutdown, and on power-up it detected the update, as will be shown on the notification bar, I just then hit the message to update. Camera firmware has been upgraded as well.

Great, will try it when I get back to work...

Yeah the update seems good but still on ics 4.0.3, I was actually expecting it to be at least 4.0.4
Btw, make sure you downloaded your correct sku(TW-Taiwan on mine and its the one with 3g). I think there's US and WW(rest of the world) as well.

How do I completely revert back to stock? I have tf300t on JB now.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app

not sure waht your after mate to get back to stock just download the firmware from asus extract it once and put on the root of your tablet, then boot into recovery and wipe it the flash the stock firmware.

What's the method to get to recovery? I haven't installed cw yet but it should have stock recovery, right?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Yep it will have stock recovery mate, but for custom recovery you need to unlock your bootloader mate

There are guides on the forum pertaining to rooting your device and installing a custom ROM. If you just want to root, this method seems to work:

Use motochopper, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228613
That method works for TF300T on Android 4.1 and 4.2.1.
Good Luck!

[Q] Can I Get CWM Without Unlocking

I just rooted my tablet with motochopper but now I want a custom recover but my tablet won't unlock ..anyway to work around that? ... Someone please help I know there has to be a way
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app

No way that I know of to work around a locked bootloader. It needs to be unlocked in order to flash a recovery like CWM or TWRP.

Take the stock ROM, extract the *.blob file. Copy that to your fastboot folder.
Restart your tablet and go to fastboot.
Now in CMD, type:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob.blob
It will take about ~300 seconds if you did it right.

I did that but something with erase cache and update etc so im lost again lol

What are you erasing, which commands did you use? The one I gave you just rewrites the system partition with the stock Asus ROM and you're donw.

I didn't erase anything but i did what you said and also many people are mentioning a usb icon im seeing rck

The USB icon on the bootloader menu? That connects you to fastboot on the old 4.1 Bootloader.

Yea I still have RCK when I click on it it enters twrp

Oh your unlocked? Then just take the updated Stock ROM and flash it in TWRP. Then you will have to use fastboot to flash TWRP again because the stock ROM will delete it.

I can't because twrp isn't working properly I have two screens that's why im trying to update
