OK, let do one step at a time, go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795156 and download the unlock tool app, then run the tool to unlock your device, it's very safe and you need internet connectivity while unlocking. Give it a try and report back. If sucessful, we will take you to next step.

Ignore this, they forgot to update the description. Many xda members have successfully used the unlock tool on JB.

OK, you are set, now you have many options:
1. Stock with rooted
If you want to keep stock, then just download the SuperSu and use twrp to flash "install" the zip package can be found here http://download.chainfire.eu/310/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip?retrieve_file=1
2. Custom rom and custom kernel.(use TWRP to flash the rom or kernel zip file).
They come with pre-rooted, so you don't need root. Here is the best rom which compatible with both the tablet and dock:

You already on .25 JB right? then you don't need to flash any bootloader. Here is the best setup:
Cromi (cleanrom) 3.2.2 ODEX with _that_stock kerne. During the setup select:
fsync disabled and seeder.(with seeder, you can download later on so no big deal).

Question for the master: I am on CROMI 3.2.1 and still have TWRP 2.2.3. Should I push TWRP 2.3.1.0 or 2.3.3.0 before I flash CROMI 3.2.2?? I've been reading posts about conflicts between outdated recoveries and bootloader. What's outdated? At the same time, the latest TWRP builds seem to be buggy and sdbags wrote he went back to CWM? What's your advice?

Update to TWRP 2.3.1, it works for most of us. I don't know which version was the first to be compatible with the JB bootloader, but 2.2.3 sounds quite old - and if you choose "wipe data" from the bootloader menu or use any "boot to recovery" tools with an incompatible recovery, you risk turning your tablet into an expensive paperweight.

This problem ALWAYS happens.
Anyone know fix this?

OK that's not how you install root. Since you're on JB version already, you need to install (flash) custom recovery (TWRP) then use TWRP to flash superSU or pre-rooted rom. Follow this link and start with section 2. MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD TWRP version 2.3.1.0

Since you're unlocked, there's no reason to stay with stock rom, go here and give this rom a try, you won't be disappointed.

Just use twrp clear cache and dalvik cache then flash (install) the rom.

Not booting after AOPK 4.2.2 installation

Hi
Today I've tried to free my TF300T from the stock rom. It was running on the last official version from ASUS (JB 4.2).
Firstly I did unlock the boot loader with the official tool from ASUS.
The I have installed TWRP (fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob) as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982
And at last, I installed AOPK 4.2.2 as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2112369
Now my device always stopps booting at the ASUS screen. I still can enter the recovery mode and I have tried to reinstall AOPK 4.2.2 several times. Unfortunately with no success. The system still doesn't boot.
Does someone have an idea? Many thanks!

And i have twrp v.2.4.4.0 installed.
If just tried to reinstall the stock ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T Firmware: V10.6.1.8 Only for WW SKU (Android 4.2) - 2013.03.11 update.
Twrp always reports: Failed.

Nobody? I would really appreciate a hint.
Thanks

Are you trying to re-install stock firmware via the blog file? You have to unzip the ZIP file you download from Asus website at least twice to get it. And make sure it's the firmware version you need WW vs US. I had to restore with stock firmware and used US...

That AOKP version that you are trying to install is not compatible with your tf300, you were running the latest Asus official 4.2 and the bootloader is not the same.
You need to install either Energy ROM or Cleanrom 4.3

Did you download the rom onto your sdcard?i ask this because anytime i do that, twrp says 'failed'.

Yes I've downloaded it to the internal SD card. The installation acutally works fine, it just doesn't boot.

Since you followed that guide for upgrade i am guessing you got his link for the right recovery for this bootloader? It should look like:
openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob
The one for this bootloader have a -4.2. at the end.
If so I would put the CROMI 4.3 rom (its great) on a known working SD card and do a full wipe. Cache, dalvik, factory reset, and wipe internal. Possibly even format data on the internal since there may still be data from a rom meant for the 4.1.1 bootloader. Then i would try to reinstall CROMI.
Also if you just want stock, there is a stock rooted rom available: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243025

TWRP Update gone wrong

I am on the new 4.2 bootloader and TWRP 2.4. Last night I went to upgrade TWRP. I chose the TWRP file named twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob. I renamed the file twrp.blob and pushed it out via fast boot. When done I rebooted via fastboot, and then rebooted into recovery.
Now something is not right, twrp is split into two screens horizontily and shows the lock picture on both. I have to power cylce to get back to Andriod. Where did I go wrong? Should I have chosen the .img file?

Ok I think think I realized there has been a second 4.2 bootloader update from Asus and that's my problem. Is that right?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

yes.
A lot of people have soft bricked their device because of this.

Yeah from what I've read twrp 2.5.0.0-4.2 will only work correctly on JB bootloader 10.6.1.15.3, not sure yet if twrp 2.4.4.0-4.2 works on 10.6.1.15.3.
I have no issues with twrp 2.5.0.0-4.2 on JB 10.6.1.15.3

So I have 10.6.1.8 and installed 2.5.0.0 and am experiencing the same problem (the noob proof guide wasn't very noob proof apparently). How would I go about putting on the correct version?
EDIT: So I just took the plunge and reflashed the correct version which I found http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf300t/openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob here. I was initially worried because I wasnt sure if I could just flash over and downgrade versions...it worked for me, and TWRP is currently making a backup and is full screen and running.

Yes, you can upgrade your version of TWRP as long as there is a newer version of TWRP for your model number.
If you get it in .img format you can flash it in TWRP(TWRP can flash .img files) or with Flashify.
Or
If you get it in .zip format you can flash it in TWRP also.
Just remember, after you flash it in TWRP you need to find the reboot option at TWRP main menu and choose "reboot recovery" and it will reboot into the new TWRP, if you fail to do this step you won't keep the new version and it will revert back to the older version that you already had.

When you see a thread that says a ROM requires a certain version of TWRP, it means you need "at least" that version and not a version older than that. Best bet is to always use the newest, most up to date TWRP then you don't have to worry about it because newer versions of TWRP can flash older ROMs with no problem but older versions of TWRP can't flash some newer ROMs. As ROMs become newer they require newer TWRP because partitioning structure changes with each new version of android so the recovery has to be compatible with the changes made in partition structure, that's why older recovery can't flash some newer ROMs, because the older recover doesn't have the necessary changes to keep up with changes in partition structure.

There isn't much to explain other than the fact that "KANG" means they created that recovery using work someone else did, it means they probably ported that recovery from a different device.

Good advice: READ! As much as you can find about what you're going to do. XDA + google will help you to find nearly everything...
KANG TWRP is a unofficial TWRP, its built for a unofficial bootloader (ported from another device) (included in the Hairybean Rom Thread)
Latest TWRP 3.0.2.0 + Hairybean Bootloader 4.2.1 + instructions can be found when you click the links.
Make sure to READ and UNDERSTAND everything before you proceed flashing a modified bootloader to your device, as you can easily (hard)brick it by flashing a wrong bootloader.

So you're implying that i can actually flash an unofficial version of TWRP Recovery.

Since I plan on running a NV Flash on my prime before flashing any other official or unofficial version of custom recovery. How do i Find out the number of my bootloader. Since I Unlocked The Bootloader, CPU-Z and any other app like it keeps showing me bootloader unknown.
