Hi folks.
Unlocked TF300T. Tried CleanROM 3.3 and Surdu's Blue Android roms, and Google Play movies app errors out with "could't fetch licence - error 0" or "This rental is expired" on the first movie I ever bought on Play (Life of Pi... $14.99, ouch) . Of course, this happened 10 minutes after I bought it.
Great first experience, eh?
Movie streams to my Razr Maxx and Note 2 just fine. I would be clueless as to DRM stuff, so is that it, a ROM issue, a root issue? Tried unrooting with Voodoo but no go, same errors.
I'd really appreciate some good advice if you can help me.
Thanks!

As far as I know Google won't let you play movies on rooted devices.
Odp: [Q] Google Play Movies possible DRM issue?
Rooting is no problem but unlocking yes - as far I know it removes the DRM Keys, no way to get it back.

Solved. I am unlocked and rooted and still on CleanROM Inheritance 3.3. Sbdags told me to rename a folder and it solved the entire issue. I'm so pleased with his responsiveness.
So: unlocking, rooting, and custom ROM were no problem.

Rename the system/vendor/lib folder to lib.org
I have similar problem with T2 tv2go. Won't work on rooted tab. But Hidemyroot can fix it. Does it work with Google movies too?
While renaming the files allows google movies to play, my HD movies will only play back in SD quality. It's disappointing to watch these on the tablet and looks like complete sh!t using HDMI out.

Like the title says, which do you think would be the best way to to go, stick with ICS and unlock and root, or install the OTA for Jelly Bean and then unlock and root? Pros and cons? I just got my tablet and I'm trying to figure out the best course of action.Thanks for any insight!

It depends on your ultimate goal. If you are definitely wanting jb and willing to unlock, then I would update first, then unlock, then root. It's a safer path in my opinion. Note - once you update to jb you can't go back to ICS because jb updates partitions and the bootloader itself.

To be honest I'm not sure, from what I've been reading on this forum a lot of people are unhappy with the JB update, and I know there are JB based roms like Black Bean that I can run on the ICS firmware. On the other hand there are others who say the JB update has improved the I/O. I guess the main thing holding me back from updating to ICS is the lack of flash, my kids also use the tablet for watching youtube or embedded videos on kids sites - is that possible with the stock browser on JB?
Also, I know you can update to JB and keep root, but will the unlocker tool from Asus work again after unlocking ICS as well? Thanks again for any advice!
My jb is fine. Others don't like. I'd just read and judge for yourself. Unlock will work for jb. If you've unlocked on ICS, you don't have to unlock again.

Ok thanks. Can you still watch youtube (website or app)? It's my only real concern since my kids need to be able to. Also, if I unlock ICS can I still flash the JB update manually?

I use the YouTube app with no issue.
As for jb flash, the guide in the general section explains the procedure but I didn't use that piece because I upgraded while locked. I unlocked after.

I am not yet unlocked, if I do upgrade I will unlock after that too. So you can play embedded videos with the stock browser also? A lot of the children's websites my kids use all have Flash content....

But you CAN install flash on Jelly Bean-upgraded TF300T!
It's just not available on the Play store, but can be 'side-loaded' and installed like any other third party application. ICS version of flash works well on JB.
I can confirm the stock browser on Jelly Bean runs youtube website videos with the flash app. I have the tablet rooted, but not unlocked.
From what I read, the Chrome browser does not play flash, but stock one does.
The link you provided works too! Just have to remember to Request desktop site from the menu in stock browser.
Flash apk 'Guide' / download link here.
Also, if you do not intend changing ROMs, you could just save your root with OTA rootkeeper+SuperSU, update via OTA and resume root courtesy the OTA rootkeeper app. I did that as I didn't want to unlock just yet.

Hi,
first id like to apologize for posting in here, but it seems sort of related to me.
Since me301t and tf300 (as far as i know) have the same guts, would it be possible to safely use rooting methods/roms from tf300 on me301? Thanks

I've been wondering the same thing. I PM'd a dev from the TF300 root method to see if there is any chance of getting the ME301T rooted and unlocked. Here's hoping!

Maybe off-topic but what is the difference besides the ME301T is newer, lighter but thicker and does not have keyboard capability? I am really trying to choose! Hope someone can help me!

hello,
the app to unlock the bootloader in tf300 works in me301.
I managed to install TWRP with the 4.2 bootloader and works fine. This allows playground to experimentation.
Roms and kernels works as well, but I only tried 3 of them.
Hope this helps

Unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP, I first installed the wrong version of TWRP which had no touch input and had to force a reboot, this is the one that works for me:
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf300t/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob
Thanks for being a good test bunny for me
Backing up my Smart Tab now and will see if any of the roms work.
*Update*
Tested the CM 10.1 experimental and the CROMi-Xenogenesus 4.4.1.
CM 10.1 boots and all but touch input is weird, the "Show touches circle" is persistent and input is like using a mouse; I have to drag the circle around and double click for a single click. I tried the latest two versions and had the same issues.
CROMi boots and doesn't suffer from the touch weirdness, but WiFi and Bluetooth are not working. I suspect if I were to pull libs from the ME301T stock I will be able to get them to work in this rom but I'm done testing for now.

Edit: Fixed it, looks like the dd command didn't take. Did it again and viola, DONE!

I want to start building some CM10.1 and other TF300 ports. But I cannot seem to find out how to get a system dump that is needed for the porting. I can copy /system to my computer, but it seems like there should be more needed than just pulling that in order to do a proper port.
Maybe it is just a matter of copying /system for the needed dump, but if anyone can shed some light on that for me it'd be a great help!
To simplify this process for everyone I wrapped up all the the necessary tools, images, drivers, etc for getting your ME301T unlocked in a single rar file. This works as of 5-13-2013, I'll update it as needed when people report problems with any of the included stuff.
I cannot stress enough that I am not personally responsible for any of this work, I simply combined it for simplicity. Please follow the links below to thank the dev's that did all of the hard work for their time!
The rar file contains:
*Contains drivers for ME301T for Windows (From Asus)
*Contains motochopper, root solution for ME301T (from djrbliss, http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/15208-root-motochopper-yet-another-android-root-exploit-412/)
*Contains necessary files and brief instructions for bootloader unlock (from philos64, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697227)
*Contains boot image for TWRP (from eyeballer, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672108)
Again please thank the original devs!
The link for the rar file is:

If you already unlocked, you should flash twrp then use twrp to flash the prerooted stock rom can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223918 . It's a BIG waste if yours is unlocked and not taken advantage of it.

Hello,
I'm new here and yes, I'm a noob.
I recently got myself a Xoom 2 Media Editon (MZ608) as my first tablet. I'm not the kind of person who always needs the latest hard- and software and basicly I'm ok with the installed Android 4.0.4. Unfortunately one of the apps I'd like to use refuses to install on an "old" Android version. And another app, which was already pre-installed, refuses to update for the same reason.
As I said I'm a noob and I never modded a tablet. I searched the web for two hours but now I'm lost. There is so much information and even the guides I found seem to start in the middle. The main problem however is that I found many links and files for Android 3.2.2 and 4.0.4 but nothing helpful for anything more up-to-date.
I really just need anything newer than 4.0.4. It doesn't matter if it's 4.1.x or 4.2.x. Where do I have to go and what do I need to do? Thanks in advance for any help!
I don't believe there is anything more up to date for the media edition Xoom, also no custom recovery is possible so zero custom ROMs.

Thanks for your answer. That's sad news.
Is there at least any way to get an older version of an app from Google Play or to force installation of the new version? And can I get rid of the second app I mentioned? It fails to update and I don't want it anyway.

No idea, but I will add that mine is the 32gb N8000 version... I have 2 and both play nice, I bought one for my brother(still stock) and his has no problems and I got a friend hers(Omega rom) and it has no problems either... All N8000 32gb versions....
Might be just a problem with a certain model?
