Hello everyone, just to start, i'm sorry if this has been asked too many times, but i've been wandering all over the forum and cant find what i need.
(i'm kinda lost using forums)
I have a brand new TF300TL wich is sim locked for certain company, but on my country, this company does not exists. So i need to unlock this pad in order to use it with my provider.
I'¡ve been reading some things and i found here wich seem to be instructions to root the device.
As there is no step by step instructions, i'm quite lost.
I understand that in order to root my pad i need to have it connected to my computer right?... But... ¿How do i connect it? I only have the pad, no docking and this pad has no port, only the docking port, not an USB.
¿Is there another way to root this device without connecting it to a desktop computer?
¿Is there another way to sim unlock this device without rooting or connecting to a desktop computer?
The pad is running ICS (4.0.3)
Thanks for your time and patience.
You use the charging cable. Connect the USB of the charging cable to your computer and place the charging cable in your tablet as you normally would

OK!, thanks didn't notice that...
Now, how do i know that the device is ready to root? I downloaded the unlock device apk, it did some work, it rebooted and then it said device is now unlocked.
Is that the unlock i have to do before rooting?
Anything else needed?
Sorry to keep bothering, but i still cant find a step by step and dont want to mess it up.

The above should help if you're on JB. I think you need to install a custom recovery next (TWRP might be better) but I haven't rooted or unlocked my device yet so I'm not completely sure of the process

Go to the transformer general section top of page. Use krapple2548 method. Very easy took about 15 min.
Ok, new issue.
Went to ASUS website and found firmware, but it says only for WW or TW SKU.
In build number, i have none TW or WW, mine says US
¿What now? ¿Which to choose?
¿Noone?

Can you give more details about your device? When you go to "settings" what Android version does it say?
TW SKU = firmware for Taiwan, I believe. WW is worldwide. US is obviously US.
The link to the firmware download page is here. Keep in mind if you upgrade to Android 4.1 (jelly bean) it will lock the bootloader and you will NOT be able to re-unlock it, root it, or customize it further. If you want to be able to revert back to an ICS bootloader you'll need to create NVFlash files.
I hope this helps. I'm not an expert so take everything I say with a grain of salt

P.s. is this a stupid question ?

Rooting - if you are on ICS, yes you can root without unlocking. If on jb, no.
Recovery - you must unlock no matter what you're running.

Have you already tried the debugfs method for rooting? Search for that in the Dev section. I don't have a tl so cannot confirm. I see what you're saying about the Asus site. If you want to be adventurous try installing the ww. Strange they put out a us build with no matching firmware. I have heard of others installing different SKU builds without unlocking but again can't confirm with this model.

Even though "Miss congeniality" already left the building:
Yes the debugfs rooting works.
Yes there is a JB 4.1 US ROM up now.
The original poster didn't really grasp the difference between bootloader unlocking, rooting, and SIM unlocking.

Hi Guys. I need help rooting my Transformer TF101. The Serial Number is B90. I just bought it 2 days ago and I upgraded to the official ICS (4.0.3) from Asus. I've been reading you can't root with this firmware, but I've also viewed threads with firmware version numbers like "8.6.5.19" and I have no idea where to find that or what it means.
I'm very confused haha. Please help me?
Thank You.
Try ViperMod (option 1)

Thank You, I will read that. But what I still don't understand is the "8.6.5.19" thing. On my "About Tablet" page, there is nothing that says "Firmware Version."
It stands at build number
That is right above mobile dock type and below kernel version. All transformers has one !

OH! Well Thank You! Mine is "9.2.1.17." Is it bad that it's a higher number?
It stand for the firmware build from asus. So it isn't bad now that custom kernels beeing made. The stock one probably makes your transformer reboot they think.
Mine rebooted twice now , both times it was when it was charging so i charge mine with power off nowadays
So will I be able to root it with ViperMOD with the firmware I have? Or will it mess it up and brick it or something?
[I CAN NOT BE RESPONSABLE FOR USING VIPERMOD ON YOUR DEVICE]
No it will not mess up thing if you use vipermod and choose option one. Keep in mind thats what ive seen people say and do with there devices thats why i posted the warning in caps.
Myself has an b70 in the time ive rooted it with razorclaw !
I'm still very confused on how to approach rooting this. I know I can't use Razorclaw because of my FW version. But I'm still confused on whether or not it's safe to use ViperMOD with my FW version. =/
You should take your time with it and good reading of the info is important. Because most mistakes we made not reading well.

Thanks man, I'm officially rooted .
I have a question, which mayb already has been asked & answered, but i just can't find it..
I'm on an Asus TF300T, and i need a recoveryblob 9.4.3.17 - the WW version (since i'm in NL), but its just nowhere to be found..
Somebody knows if this blob available somewhere ??
(or someone who got this on disk, or can extract it from a TF300T that isn't updated)
Any help is appreciated! Thx
--
Woops, this post ended up in the general section, and should go in Q&A! Sorry for that!!
Did your device ship with the .17 update or did it come with .26?
It came with .17, but stupid me upgraded as soon it asked for it...
So, i think some should be able to extract the BLOB memoryblock from an original (non-upgraded) WW device..
Fellow dutchie here, is there anything I can do with an updated rooted tablet running .26? (aside from trading my tablet, lol).

Well, unless you made a backup of .17 before the upgrade to .26, i don't think you can help
Don't screw up your install, you can't reflash it to root at the moment
(Except for .17 US)
Sorry man, no backup
Good luck anyhow.
Looks like this is the dutch forum.
I updated to .26 as well just as you.
Not knowing I would probably be better of staying at .17 and then get it rooted.
Oh well, it's just a matter a of time I guess.
I don't suppose anyone still has the .17 blob file that can upload/share it? Been searching for days without any luck.
Hi guys,
I'm fairly new with all the rooting stuff, as I never had any reason to do so. However, since some games (where's my water for example) save their save data in the /data/ folder, I need root.
I was actually about to downgrade my tablet using these steps, but since I apparently run a WW build according to my settings app, I understand I have to wait? Or is there only a specific reason not to use a US version (i.e. localization issues)?
However, a friend is maybe going to buy a TF300 and is probably going to root it, so if he buys it I will check the firmware version and see if I can extract it. Its the least I can do after all the years xda helped me with my smartphones.
Me too Dutch
no .17 ww file found. please upload one!!
i am on .17 us rooted but can not receive the OTA .26 update.
ww 9.4.3.17 blob file needed
I've got my 300t about 1,5 week ago and was so stupid to upgrade to .26.
I need .17 ww version also.
Please upload!
Thanks
Marco
We need someone with an unrooted .17 bought in Europe, except DE..

Well, i can't remember the localization issues i found, but i know i found them..
More important, it doesn't seem to get any updates, so you stay on .17 when you're in europe..

Hi,
I looked everywhere and this device (Asus Transformer TF300TL) appears to be lost.
Anybody knows if TF300T roms work on it?
Anybody has one here?
Any ideas?
I appers to be pretty similar.
Hello
Rom differs between TL and T
Because of functions modem.
TL is really useful for the 4G

You will find some links at the end of my Index for tf 300 (click to my sig )
And that's right, it's a little part of all TF300 and especially for LTE.
I really don't if you will find one rom for your device.
Really sorry
So still no development for TL version?
I think the TL is the last device of this series, so it's normal that there's to wait some time before you can fine a well cooked ROM..

No custom ROMs for the TF300TL that I know of.
I believe the T/TG ROMS will KILL the LTE part of the TL modem (or possibly completely kill data capability...or worse)
Here is the Asus TF300TL update link:
https://www.asus.com/Tablets_Mobile/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300TL/#support_Download_32
There is a bootloader unlocker, 2 jelly bean ROMs, and the kernel source available for download.
I manually updated the ROM from the Asus site - the OTA system update was not working on the stock ROM loaded.
The trick is to make sure to match the ROM download to the version of the tablet- US, WW, etc.
I have also gotten the latest TWRP to work on the TF300TL - I used the jb blob image for the German LTE TF300TG.
I assume the stock TF300TL image is mostly a TF300T but with a driver for the LTE radio built into the ROM.
If the radio device driver is included in the Asus source - it may be able to be merged.
Has anyone figured out a way to force the native android tethering?
The ATT tethering app keeps dropping connections- and has no options to customize.
I remember when the Nexus 3G (tilapia) first came out there was a way to expose the
android native tethering menu- maybe this has been disabled on the TF300TL stock.

Hi guys!
I'm a owner of Asus TF300TL. My tab is fully stock, and I want to change that by rooting it and installing custom rom...
I'm doing that coz I got pissed really bad when I've installed Real Racing 3 and seen it lagging. I can't understand why isn't it snappy if Tf300 series are rocking powerful enough Tegra 3 chip, while (for example) Ipads with 2 times less powerful hardware runs latest games without any problem!
Other games like Vice City are choppy too so I think that rooting, installing custom rom and overclocking my Tab will fortunately solve the problem...
So.. my question is:
Is there any stable rom for TF300TL with 4g LTE capabilities ? and if there's a root method?
BTW: my brother has a Nexus 7 with identical hardware and Vice City runs smoothly and RR3 works decently( I believe that it's caused by terrible optimization)
thanks in advance for every helpful comments!!

Has anyone tried using the NEXUS7 4G ROM on the TF300TL?
They both use the TEGRA 3 chipset.... and if someone can extract the LTE drivers from the TF300TL, i'd imagine you could get it to work.

hey mate, good news! so, using your rom with tf300tl allows oc capatibilies with everything (3g/4g) correcly working, isn'it? I'm asking you since i can only buy tf300tl...can't find any new tf300t or tg version.
I'm owning a nexus 7 device so i'm pretty sure that without a custom rom and a strong oc to 1500-1600mhz i'll not be satisfied, N7 runs smooth only at these frequencies.

Today, on my stock LTE-enabled ASUS Transformer TF300TL, I downloaded & installed CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.6 - 10.4.4.25/US DEODEX that also included the kernel 3.1.10-00003-gb0003ba. Everything is seems to be great - except for the fact that it:
- doesn't detect the SIM card, and
- prompts for an unlock code if I turn Flight Mode OFF (ie. try to connect to any carrier's mobile network).
When cold-booting, in tiny print in the top left corner of the screen, I do see 'Device is unlocked'.
Did I install the wrong ROM ?
Thanks,

I am just curious if there is any custom ROM, you can suggest, that will work with TF300TL. I have unlocked bootloader and rooted my TF300TL. It is with android version 4.2.1. I have been looking at flashing it with latest firmware, that would not disturb the 4G LTE.
