i think the latest firmware is .30 for now

I used this method here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1706588
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.

Root without unlocking?

While browsing this forum, i read a comment that says you can root the tf300 without unlocking the bootloader. Is this true?

Not true.
I've rooted, while still having a locked bootloader.
If you're still on ICS can use 1-Click root v1.1 here
If you updated to JB, then not sure if you can root at the moment.

Just so there is no surprise, you will most likely start getting errors when it tries to push files to your device. It pushes to /data/local which no longer has write permissions for all users.

It doesn't work for the reasons stated in this thread. Just errors and an offer to exit at the end.

I'm still hoping someone will try to downgrade using fastboot since the updated boot loader has the USB option. If we can downgrade, we can easily root.

Unlock and root after jb update

I have looked around for a few days now but I can't seem to find a way to unlock and root after the JB update.
I would like to avoid the asus unlock if I can only I don't know if I can yet. =/

At present, if you are on jb and want root, you must unlock. There's a guide in the general section. Follow step 3 to get root, and recovery as a bonus.

Absolutely. I used twrp to flash it just because it worked better for me, but cwm will flash it too. Flash it, download supersu from the store, update the such binary automatically with it, and off you go with root.

Ok, I'm confused. I rooted before I took the update thinking I would continue to have root after....that isn't the case. So now I want to root again, Does this link help me with that? I don't think It will from what I am reading but again, I'm not sure.

Some people lost root after the update, especially those who did a factory wipe of data afterward, like me. This guide helps those with unlocked bootloader. At this time, you cannot root jb with a locked bootloader if you lost it during the upgrade.

[Q] Can I Get CWM Without Unlocking

I just rooted my tablet with motochopper but now I want a custom recover but my tablet won't unlock ..anyway to work around that? ... Someone please help I know there has to be a way
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app

No way that I know of to work around a locked bootloader. It needs to be unlocked in order to flash a recovery like CWM or TWRP.

Take the stock ROM, extract the *.blob file. Copy that to your fastboot folder.
Restart your tablet and go to fastboot.
Now in CMD, type:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob.blob
It will take about ~300 seconds if you did it right.

I did that but something with erase cache and update etc so im lost again lol

What are you erasing, which commands did you use? The one I gave you just rewrites the system partition with the stock Asus ROM and you're donw.

I didn't erase anything but i did what you said and also many people are mentioning a usb icon im seeing rck

The USB icon on the bootloader menu? That connects you to fastboot on the old 4.1 Bootloader.

Yea I still have RCK when I click on it it enters twrp

Oh your unlocked? Then just take the updated Stock ROM and flash it in TWRP. Then you will have to use fastboot to flash TWRP again because the stock ROM will delete it.

I can't because twrp isn't working properly I have two screens that's why im trying to update
