Yes you need root access in order to remove asus apps and all the bloat, if you choose to install a custom ROM they already have enabled root and also debloated. First thing you need to do is install a custom recovery, either CWM or TWRP.
hope that helped.

Read the sticked posts in the q and a forum. There are many posts which show you how to flash a custom recovery and get root access.
Basically you need to unlock boot loader, use fastboot to flash recovery, then use recovery to flash a root zip

New owner

I just picked up a used TF101 and have been reading the threads learning more about my new ( used ) toy.
The tablet just recently updated itself to ICS 4.0.3 with Kernel 2.6.39.4 & 9..2.1.27 and now I would like to root the device and look at the possibility of loading new roms etc.
I have read the forum until my eyes hurt. Is there someone that can point me at the correct thread to root my device safely?
Thanks

To get root & custom recovery, the following methods are reported to be working with the latest Asus ROM:

I have personally used the first method about a month ago, no problem with my tf101 and the latest ROM (9.2.1.27)

I've can also vouch for the first method on TF101G with latest ICS ( [TOOL]PERI-0.4 One click root+recovery/fix-bootloops+soft-bricks ALL Devices V0.4). Just install it on the PC, run the .BAT file and follow the instructions to root and install Custom Recovery on the Transformer.
The only issue I've had is that its custom Recovery won't seem flash the ASUS stock ROM for some reason. So what I do now is use the above tool to get root and Custom Recovery, then use that to flash ClockWorkMod Recovery v6.0.1.4 NoTouch Hybrid from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855686 - click the Download link and get the cwm-6.0.1.4-notouch-hybrid.zip file (apparently the Touch version is currently broken).
From CWM recovery you should be able to flash any custom ROM and kernel etc., and also return to stock by flashing the ASUS stock ROM from their download site (make sure you select the right one for your model and unzip it first - for some reason they put the zip ROM inside another zip).
If you do return to stock, don't forget you'll also lose root and custom recovery so you'll need to start over.
Good luck!

[Q] 4.0.3 to 4.2 Upgrade Clarification

So I've been running the stock 4.0.3 Android on my TF300T for a very long time. at one point Idownloaded the asus provided unlocking tool, unlocked the device and installed CWM 5.5 and IIRC rooted the device in prep to run a custom ROM. I never got around to doing this but now I am ready to get this thing updated to the latest firmware ASUS provides ( V10.6.1.15.3)
There seems to be a mess of issues with the 4.2 bootloaders and such. So being a complete newbie to the world of Android I want to make sure I do not brick my TF300T or ruin it in any way.
As I understand... I can simply download the firmware. Unzip the .zip file to my SD card, boot into the currently installed CWM, install the new 4.2 update and all I will need to do in install an updated recovery for 4.2 afterwards correct?
EDIT: My plan is to use This guide >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982 << I just want clarification that I can update to the TeamWin recovery after installing 4.2

Make sure you look into nvflash before you go updating to later firmwares because once you leave ICS you'll lose the option. Im not sure how many people here have access to nvflash because they brought their tf300t with JB pre-installed and dont have the chance to use nvflash as the exploit used is patched. But i was lucky and and took advantage of it while i was still on ICS, i would have bricked my tf300t 10 times over if it wernt for nvflash.
It makes your tf300t unbrickable, and lets you flash back to 4.0.1 bootloader if you have issues with 4.2:good:
And to answer your question yes you can update the 4.2 version of twrp AFTER the update with fastboot

First time android user. Need help unlocking and flashing new rom

Hello, everyone.
I have recently bought a new Asus TF700t. Cant say i'm happy with tablet performance. So i decided to flash Cromix.
There few things that i do not clearly understand
I already installed a new firmware update from Asus V10.6.1.14.10.
Is it still safe to unlock and root the device? Or i will have to perform FW and ASUS Transformer Pad Kernel Code for Android 4.2.1 JB OS V10.6.1.14.10 downgrade to V10.6.1.14.8?
ASUS Transformer Pad Kernel Code for Android 4.2.1 JB OS (V10.6.1.14.10)
Do i need to copy cromix installer on SD card, or internal memory would be fine?

Welcome aboard..
Yes, it is safe to unlock your device but you will loose your warranty and hope that you know it.. You will be happy with the performance of the Cromi X.. :good:
You only need to downgrade to .8 if you want to use motochopper to get root and then install your custom recovery, prefer TWRP 2.6.1.0. You can learn how to use fastboot to install your custom recovery without a hassle of rooting if you willing to learn. I think that it is a better method but it is just my two cents..
It does not matter where you have your Cromi X as long as you can access to it when you want to install it. The outcome is the same but I prefer to have it on my external sd in case I want to format my internal sd for a clean install... You can learn more how to install Cromi X from the first post and the link is here:

You currently can't root 10.6.1.14.10 without a custom recovery. But you can install TWRP via fastboot on an unlocked unrooted tablet, then simply install a rooted custom ROM from TWRP.
