Has any one been able to root Jellybean yet, or downgrade back to Ice Cream Sandwich for the transformer prime tf300. Ive tried the firmware update to the .17 for ics and its still locked to Jellybean. The only other thing i could think of is to use the kernals, but i found no way to install them. Should i even try unlocking the bootloader?
So far, it looks hopeless to try and downgrade to ICS. The source code has been released so we may have root in the not-to-distant future once the developers have a look at it.

Here's hoping. I didn't realize how much I really used until it was taken away.

If you can downgrade to ICS you could potentially get root back using the debugfs method. Then you can upgrade again and rescue your root with voodoo ota root keeper, but I had to wipe data after the jb upgrade, and that broke root for good, for now.

Rooting is very simple in JellyBean assuming you have your boot unlocked

So if I got the 4.1 update, I cant unlock bootloader, and cant get root?

You should be able to. Despite the message, many others are reporting success.

Yes, you can root JB.
I just bought my Tab, upgraded to JB right away then performed below steps:
1) Used the ASUS unlocker to unlock the device, make sure you have internet connection otherwise it will not work.
2) Follow 3rd part in below thread to root JB:

Question, is that all you did? I'm considering doing the same but I don't want custom Roms and such. I just want my root back.

I think the big question is if its possible to keep the BL locked though. I know I tried via the OTA keeper, and no success. Tried updating binaries, superSU, regular SU... no dice so far...

For locked u can only root ics and keep it using voodoo rootkeeper and than update. Thats how i did it.
Im not sure but u could downgrade using this method. It flash whole system again and clear all ~30gb of memory so it should work.

Just bought my tf300 today. I searched a little but i am confused. My firmware is 9.4.3.30 i am still 0n ICS. What is the best guide to gaining root unlocking the bootloader and a rom. Would rather stay away from abd only because my computer is not set up with it. Do i upgrade to stock jelly bean then use the asus unlock apk? What is the most up to date guide?
Thank you.

You can unlock with the Asus Unlock app on ICS. There is currently no root for locked bootloaders on JB. ICS can still be rooted with the bootloader locked.
Thank you. What do you recommend doing. Staying on ics and keeping the bootloader lock? Or unlocked and jelly bean? Was kinda thinking about running black bean. What are your thoughts or experience?

Stay on ICS, from JB is difficult to move, currently.
Ok XDA I just purchased the Tf300t and I'm considering rooting it but I read that I have to unlock it which voids the warranty. Is there a way root it with out unlocking it? Please keep in mind this is my first tablet

Is this what you were looking for?
from what i read it says you can root it without unlocking if its on ics from here
and if its in jb its giving errors
hope it helped.
OK I'm on JB unfortunately so I guess I'll have to wait thanks though

I work on these devices for a living and can tell you that as far as the manufacture is concerned unlocking and rooting are the same thing. They will void the warrantee.
Instead if worrying about that get a nandroid back up and do research on going back to stock. That way if you need to for any reason you have an out and you can send the device in.

I know about going back to stock the boot loader is my concern. I've rooted several of my phones and went back to stock for insurance purposes. I've just read that once its unlocked you can't reverse it.

Hi people!
Well, looks like Im back on flashing roms to my beloved tf300t
So into the thing: Few months back I flashed my first 4.2 rom (cant remember which rom it was) and of course with the new bootloader in seek of performance.
After few days of use I decided to go back to JB and it took me a full day to rollback to older bootloader but it was worth it. I couldnt stand that poor performance and freezing on 4.2 against my old flawless JB rom.
Now few months have passed since that. So Im wondering if there is any 4.2 rom that has better performance than my current JB rom CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.6.
Im asking you guys because I dont want to rollback to JB bootloader again if I decide to flash 4.2 rom again.
Thanks
Anyone..?

Too bad, looks like no perfomance gained from 4.2 against 4.1.
My quick recommend, use the google keyboard and feel the smooth. Asus keyboard suck and lag like hell.

I've rooted all of my phones since the OG Evo on sprint......but when it comes to this tablet I'm at a loss and not sure where to begin. I'm running the most current firmware. Please someone point me in the right direction. I do not have a computer anymore. I rooted my s3 without one so I'm assuming it's possible with the asus .

Sorry mate, I think you're out of luck. You need a pc to root the TF300T. You'll have to wait until you can get your hands on a pc... or if Chainfire starts developing for the TF300T. If Only.
