i think the latest firmware is .30 for now
I used this method here.

Worked with .29 and redid it after updating to .30. Very simple.
Yes its in the prime section but I found it from this thread.

I just got a tf300 and it keeps telling me to do the update. Should I take the update or would this make it harder to flash etc?

that depends.
if you only want to root it but keep stock firmware and recovery, you should do it now before updating. as long as you are on version .17 you can use sparky root to root, OTA root keeper to backup root, update, use OTA root keeper to restore Root and enjoy.
if you want to Flash ROM's and stuff, you can do whatever you like. you will have to unlock the bootloader and as far as i can tell, that is supposed to work on any software version as long as it is ICS. unlock, flash recovery, flash your ROM of choice.

So if I want to flash stuff it won't matter? Most ROMs will come rooted, so then do the update?

You can update and still root on the latest firmware. I got mine and updated out of the box and was able to root it easily. I don't know why someone is saying you need to be on .17

Ok so there's no way to do it without unlocking the bootloader using the asus utility?

Even if you update to .30, you could always root it via Debugfs method.

The only thing you can do without unlocking the bootloader is rooting it, nothing else.

You must unlock the bootloader to do it.

i think you have to downgrade the firmware if you are on the latest firmware to 29

I should clarify. My previous post is correct if you upgraded to jellybean. If you are still on ICS, you can root using the debugfs method found in the Dev section. You can do this on v30 for the t and v40 of the tg.

How to unlock the boot loader on JB? On the Asus site it says "(Only works with TF700T ICS OS)." It also works in JB? Or there another way to unlock it?
This has been discussed about a million times already, but the unlock tool works just fine on Jelly Bean...

For youre convenience i can confirm that unlocking works when youre on jb allready

Hi guys i just came across this post on the portal: https://www.androidroot.mobi/pages/guides/tegra3-guide-nvflash-jellybean/
And it's talking about installing nvflash on nexus7,... etc and also on tf300t and it states:
The current AndroidRoot.mobi bootloader versions are
Transformer Prime TF201: 10.4.2.15
Transformer TF300: 10.6.1.15.3
Transformer TF700: 10.6.1.14.4
Nexus 7 (2012): 4.13
Support on bootloader 10.6.1.15.3? does this mean it just got updated or is it a mistake or something?
thanks,

Doesn't look like one to me, as they have each model's file listed separately. I'll be testing this shortly on my spare to see if it works and report back. Stay tuned.
