Hello,
I have tf300 everything stock on 4.2.1. But I want to try a custom rom. But I have afraid to brick my tablet. He is under warranty!
I read so many post but I'm confused and I don't know what is right for me... I need the most simple way to not make "****"!
Thanks

Well, The safe way is that u cn only Root your stock rom u dnt need to unlock u r boot loader..so in that way u cn use all the root APPS and use mods and u ll not loose ur warranty...

I have asus tf300t I never rooted on ics either and have bootloader locked. I updated to latest via ota updatesz is there a way to root without unlocking bootloader any link will be helpfull. Or guide me on how to unlock bootloader and then root.
Thanks in advance

You can unlock the bootloader with ASUS's official app on their website, search up transformer tf300 and there will be a .apk that you can install to unlock it. After that, use fastboot to flash a recovery such as cwm or twrp, then flash a root package or a ROM with root. Hope this helped!
Oky thanks can you send me link on how to flash using fastboot on tf300? Also cant I just keep factory room and root that if ao how any links will be helpful thanks

You can read this thread for more information about unlocking and rooting, but before starting anything, please think about it and be aware that unlocking the bootloader will:
- void your warranty
- prevent further OTA updates for your tablet from Asus
Cheers

Before you read, there are some considerations: I unlocked my device last night and I am running either .29 or .30 of the ICS firmware. I also, never connected the device to my network until after I unlocked it. So if you have a TF300T runing the above versions of ICS, then it should work for you. You said you: "updated to latest via ota..." If you did this, you are on Jelly Bean and at the moment, there is no known way to make your device "unbrickable." You can still mod it, but if you dont follow directions perfectly, you could easily brick your device. Now without further hesitation....
Here it is, the TF300T unlocking guide:
Go to the Asus site and download the v7 tool
copy the v7 tool to the tablet
run the v7 tool on your tablet from the tablet GUI
it will install the v7 unlocker application
run the unlocker application from your app drawer
you have to accept a few agreements
click the unlock button
after that, your device will reboot
This is how to confirm that the unlock tool was successful: After your TF300 reboots, you will see the normal ASUS logo in the middle and some very small text in the top left will say: "device unlocked."
Now for rooting:
If you already have root, and you want to keep your exiting root access, make a backup after unlocking. The backup instructions are included in the "unbrickable" method. If you do not have root, just make a backup anyways. Then you can flash a ROM onto your device that is pre-loaded with root.
I hope that answered your questions.
Thanks but no I am on jb. So I will just wait till a solution comes out for unbrickable before trying anything dont want to mod ot just want tp remove a few apps

It seems someone always bricks on something that was thought to be unbrickable. No I'm not suggesting you go forward, just the opposite. As long as you aren't sure about change enjoy your tablet as it is and just forget about the apps that bother you.
Good Luck!

I think you can upgrade and downgrade Asus stock ROM just by placing the firmware on an sdcard. No need to unlock in this case.
You probably need to unpack the downloaded ZIP once.
There are more details somewhere, use search!

I would start reading some posts in the development forum, and other specific topics on the various steps you will need to take. But...
First you will need to install a custom recovery, like clockwork mod(cwm) or twrp.
Second, you will need to find a ROM specific to your device, making sure to check your model number and only installing a ROM if it is intended for your devices model.
Third, flash the rom .zip in the previously installed recovery.
That's really all you need to do, but you should read how to take those steps in the threads for them and your device.

When you flash a stock firmware either from that link or (recommended) sammobile.com, its called stock for a reason it turns the firmware, recovery and kernel back to....err.....stock

Possibly for some but the risk of soft bricking is high as you have no script support, and still have a secure kernel. The main issue would be you would have to manual copy files and change stuff, then remember to undo it if you accept an ota update.
Read the updater script in the flash able mod - but personally I'd just unlock. What is holding you back?

Why are you worried? Life is about risks. In this case if you won't risk your warrantee then you cant benefit from the mods. What are the chances of the transformer breaking under normal use on it's own? There's not a lot you can do if you root - a few build.prop tweaks maybe not much else.

4822 should be a 5158N. If you are rooted, download a terminal app and flash the firmware. the 7038 firmware should be for the 5158n as well.

It only takes 5 seconds to remove the back cover and read the model off the dig ribbons. I'm not sure what the hang-up is. Wouldn't that be simpler? Flashing stock firmware doesn't necessarily restore TS firmware.

Dont stress yourself. Its easily fixed. Ill look around for 4822 and report back shortly.
Edit:
Ok im downloading a few roms. Hopefully its in one of those. In the mean time, check in /system/etc/firmware/touch and see if you have a 4822 in there. Also, flashing back to stock will not flash the system firmware for the digitizer daughter board. Go ahead and re-root while im downloading things as well.

Ok, looks like there are several other firmware in that folder. Your best bet is to flash them all one by one from your firmware folder until one works after rebooting.
Since there are 3 versions of digitizer, and there are 3 firmwares in the folder, logically one has to work lol
If you cant find them, ill upload them for you. Let me know.

I´d love to have them since I need to reflash my fw for the TS.
Changed my broken digitizer (5158N ) out for a new one (5158N ) but i need to flash the TSfirmware since my left side of the tablet only work sometimes.
Is it possible to flash this fw without root?

Ive only flashed from terminal, which required root. You also should be able to run it through adb. All of your stock firmware SHOULD be in /system/etc/firmware/touch and have the extention of .ekt
Change the location to directory of the firmware folder and run the firmware update command directly from there.
For all commands, dont include the quotes. Just type whats between the quotes.
Open terminal and type " su" and hit enter. Superuser should pop up asking to allow permissions if you have never run this command before. If you have, you wont see anything, but you will see " root " on the next line.
Next " cd /system/etc/firmware/touch " and hit enter
Then type " ls " and hit enter. You will see all the firmware available to flash
Finally update your firmware with the update command " touch_fw_update -u /system/etc/firmware/touch/whateverfirmware.ekt " and hit enter. Obviously you change out the whateverfirmware.ekt for the actual name of the file you want to flash.

Not rooted, didn´t think you culd root when you were on 4.2.1?
But hey, I´ll give it a shot :cyclops:
it ain't working :'( i can flash the first one but it is still the 7053 one and when i try to flash the other 2 it says this IAP tools is design for elan 1 chip sloution: error can't open source file
EDIT: after some tweaking at root is was able to flash the other two let's see what happens!
EDIT2: nvm when i try to flash it says ERROR: GetAckData fail! and at the bottom ERROR:execnum:0 th OLD IAP mode!!!!!! and the firmware doesn't update :'(
BTW i hate that there is no recovery that doesn't need to use the touch screen because i can't flash the firmware via recovery now because of that :\ i currently reinstalled the stock recovery is there a way i can use the "update.zip" method on this tab?

Thank you for this file, but is it possible for me to get it onto my TF300 without rooting it or anything else?
Remember I can´t get into settings to turn on "developer mode", "USB-debugging" or any of the other stuff that´s needed to get my tablet rooted.
Can I just place the fw-file on a memorycard and insert it and see if it wants to upgrade? Or is that a no go?
Waiting on a USB-OTG cable so I´m able to connect a mouse to get into settings but I won´t get it for a couple of weeks probably.
You are a bit too late mate I send my tablet back to Asus for repair!
