I unlocked my bootloader just so that I can root and just as Urla i only have RCK, android and Wipe Data, with no usb option. Please Help.
STOP trying to flash custom recovery and root 4.2.1
See this thread. Just not possible yet.
Current versions of CWM and TWRP for the TF300T need to be updated to read the 4.2.1 file system.
I also unlocked device, searching for solution whole day but nothing , any suggestions?

With the new 4.2.1 boot loader it automatically boot into usb mode (fastboot), unless you change it with the volume keys.

That is the correct commands yes but wait until CWM is fixed before you flash the recovery. It will do you no good at this point

I have a tf300 with jellybean firmware JRO03C.US_epad-10.4.2.9-20120809 and the bootloader is unlocked.
I can charge my tablet, but any computer i try, it cannot connect to the computer.
Is there any way I can root it? Thanks for the help!

You can install TRWP 2.2.2.0 with Terminal Emulator apk
If you can push the blob files on your internal SDcard, after you can just follow the process TWRP 2.2 - Asus Transformer TF300T(G) page
but for rooted your TF, you will need one computer...
If you get the recovery working. I would assume you could flash a new rom stock or custom thats rooted already

I need to root first tho i guess i am screwed
i just installed Rom Manager and than i clicked on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery on the app and from that time on when i try to enter RCK
it stuck on Booting Recovery Kernel image.
Pls i need some help.
you are now bricked. Rom Manager is flashing the prime recovery, not the TF300.
If you are still able to use fastboot, try flashing TWRP with fastboot, cause CWM had many problems on TF300
I don't think its a brick situation but I agree with the previous suggestion, use a PC and flash twrp recovery using fastboot. See the Dev section for details, website data, and instructions.

Hey,
I've been trying to root my TF300T (JB 4.1.1, JRO03C.US_epad-10.4.2.130-20120907) with no success.
I've downloaded the ASUS unlocking software and it went fine.
I've installed fastboot but when I boot into Recovey Mode the tablet simply gets stuck if I choose RCK or USB option (I haven't tried to wipe).
Nothing happend for a looong time. Then, I turn it off and when I turn it on again it starts (cold boot I guess OK)
It boots fine into JB and I can use it, but there's no way I can root it (through Recovery Mode).
I've tried DebugfsRoot_Generic_v2.3, but on every attempt I get the same error message: "access denied".
Since I'm stucked in that (and I`ve read many treads here with no success. None of the problems seemed like this).
I'd like to know if someone has had the same problem or have any idea of what might be happening. It's really weird.
Sorry if it seems too noob. I've rooted my Samsung GSII flawlessly but I'm having problems with this tablet.
Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916762
Thanks, but I still can't boot into fastboot, it gets stucked as seen in the pic.

Just recently got the TF700 and have got to do something about the performance. Looking at the threads it seems running a custom ROM+Kernel is the only way to make this thing perform better.
In going through the how-to threads, I think I did things in the wrong order.
I used the ASUS Unlocking tool to unlock the device, but didn't downgrade it first to JB 4.1.1 so I can root it using the motochomper(?).
Any thoughts on how I can proceed to root the device and install TWRP next?
Thanks!

Just use motochopper to root (This tool worked on all JB version) then download Goomanager from the market and install TWRP. Once done use twrp to flash cromi-X rom.

No you need to download the Asus unlock tool from Asus site (version 7 will work on ICS and all JB version).

Much thanks! I now have my device rooted and unlocked. In a previous post you had mentioned to flash cromi-x custom rom after root/unlock. I read about the 2 different flavours it offers...ODEX and DEODEX and I'm aware of the differences. Is there a favorite choice between the 2? Also, you mention to use TWRP to flash cromi-x, but can I not also use GooManager to flash as well?
Thanks.

I would use TWRP to flash, I preferred ODEX (smoother, snappier reported by most ppl). Download "rebooter" app from the market (red circle logo), then open it and select boot into recovery, it should boot you directly into twrp, then select install, then browse to cromi-X zip file and execute it.
Sorry to hijack the thread but im having similar issues, everytime i do a OTA update my tablet resets root and i have the VOODOO rootkeeper app but it does not work.
Ever since the new update ive been trying to get root back but my DEVELOPER Options IN settings have dissapeared and i dont know how to get it back to enable debbuging to get the fastboot going can anyone help?

to enable debugging: go to settings about and press seven times on build number(correct if wrong) a message should appear and debugging should be there again

With the new bootloader you don't have the usb icon as you will be in fastboot mode as soon as you enter bootloader.

Fastboot for JB 4.2.1 is volume down and power button, you should see 3 icons and read the text, it should say fastboot mode enabled.
edit- volume up and power buttons is APX mode (black screen).
Hello all,
I just got a TF300T and set it up, and with hindsight rather stupidly, OTA'd it to 10.6.1.27.5 (4.2.1)
I have spent quite a while on this forum deciding what ROM's to get etc
and i was going to follow the guides and realised that they are for 10.6.1.27.1 latest and that motochopper doesn't work for that firmware
Just generally, what can I do?
I don't really want to install loads of stuff and get settled in to my tf300t if im just going to wipe it when i root and flash
Will i need to unlock the bootloader?
Are there any other questions i should be asking instead?
Cheers, any help would be appreciated

I've read the motochopper root method doesn't work on 27 versions. So either downgrade to 15 and use motochopper or unlock the bootloader. Unlocking makes things much easier to achieve and maintain, and you can run the latest version with root easily.

If I unlock am I able to lock again? I am asking as I would prefer not to void my warranty. Also is downgrading from .27 known to work at all?

- no you can't relock
- yes it is possible to downgrade, however unlike upgrade, downgrading deletes all of your data (so back up first and then downgrade)
I have the latest update on my tf300t and I have it unlocked. However, no method I've tried will allow me to install a custom recovery or get root access. I'm at a loss as what to do. I've tried the motochopper method and I've tried several that have me download files to my sd and try to flash them through recovery. All I get there is a little dead android with an exclamation point. Asus Sync won't even work, so any method that uses that is useless to me...

As previously stated....... you need to downgrade your system. The latest OTA will not allow you to use motochopper. Boot into fastboot, install universal drivers, download ( and verify md5 ) an older 4.2 build, fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system ( the blob file unpacked ) THEN use motochopper.

I think the new root method mentioned in the motochopper thread will root this version. Others are claiming success. I can't confirm because I'm unlocked and don't need it.

I've tried downgrading. But whenever I enter the command prompt it says device not found. The tablet shows up in my drives list and I can view and transfer files. I've updated SDK, checked the drivers and even tried just installing a downgrade through RDK. I even tried using a terminal emulator as well, to no avail.

Are you trying while the factory rom is up and running? If so, You need to be in fastboot mode ( power on holding vol down ). Then try fastboot. You should have asus fastboot come up as a device inside of your device manager.
