Hey, don't answer a question with a question. Go start your own thread. But I basically want to know the same thing. I want to install clean2.2 ROM and I'm rooted .18 not unlocked...

Hi, sorry for noob question, but what is the easiest way to root the latest firmware? I don't want to unlock bootloader.
Downgrade to ICS? Aslo I would like to save my data (game progress etc.).
I read a lot of tuts, but I ever don't know what to do.
You can't downgrade. At this time, the only way is to unlock the bootloader and flash root in.

I have the same question, I have a stock firmware, locked (I guess), updated to the latest version.
Can I use the following guide?

This is the only guide I know that works - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30516010

I have modified the part 3 of this guide and you will find here:
Small guide for Install recovery and rooting when you are already to JB

I have installed USB drivers.

Sure you can IMO
You can do it on first.
Click to my sig, goto my index for tf300 and you will find the Asus unlock tool
But is it necessary? Can I root without unlocking?
As I said, if you are on JB bootloader, you cannot root without unlock your device...for the moment

i know u are really busy man but i also know if u want u can ) plz work on tf300tg if u want ) i like all developers <3
so it looks i'm like screwed? My TF300 is running JB and is not unlocked. And the ASUS unlock tool isn't working....so is there eventually going to have a way to root without unlock?
As I said a lot of time, you can't if you are not unlocked!

In JB i can't root if i'm not unlocked. Is that "forever" or a "just for now" thing? Because ASUS's unlock tool is giving me the error that it can't connect to the server. Should I just ditch my tf300 now?
I have the same issue about this error message and I search how is possible to unlock my tab with different method. Someone have idea?
Thanks

I think it's "just for now" and they're going to develop one tool for JB 4.2. Don't forget that this tool has been built in first for ICS version.

Hey guys, complete noob here so please bear with me. I just picked up a US version TF300T and immediately updated it to 4.2.1 JB. Now that I'm looking in to rooting this thing I'm starting to feel like this was a mistake as I'm not seeing any info on how to root with the new firmware. Should I downgrade to an older firmware? How exactly would I go about doing this? Also, are there any good guides to rooting out there?
Thanks in advance!

you'll have to wait for new versions of cwm/twrp to be released.
for now there's no root option that will work on 4.2

OK things have changed since the last answer here. Do the following...
Go to the Asus site and download v8 of the unlock tool in utilities then use it to unlock your bootloader.
Once unlocked download twrp 2.4.4.0 recovery and flash it in. See the Dev section for site and instructions.
Locate the root guide in the general section and dow unload superuser.zip from it and flash it in using twrp recovery to get root.
Go to the market and get supersu, install it and let that manage your su binary.
Hope this helps.

You can't unlock the BL on that system version. That's the version that they locked up the bootloader with.
If downgrade 9.16 ,Can it be UNlocked

No. Once you update, the trusted zone gets locked. It won't open back up.
Hmm.....
It's looks only one way:
Wait Wanrranty End , Moto Official unlock.
OR someone hack Unlock code Like moto official code .Simulation Moto Official unlock, Just fun think

Actually, my device is not Developer's Edition and I could unlock its bootloader following Motorola's official unlock from de link below:
(I can't post the link because I have less than 10 posts, but if you google "What devices are supported by the Bootloader Unlock program?", Moto's official website should be on the first page)
In case you couldn't find it, PM me.
Hope it helps.

You would have been the first and only one that we've seen where this worked. If it was that easy, everyone would do it and have an unlocked bootloader. However, that is not the case.
he has the xt925 edition probably lol

BTW if I got a 925, does anyone know if vzw would activate it? Has anyone done it?
As was suggested to me, i rooted and unlocked bootloader with motochopper and motocopalyse without a hitch....took less than 2 minutes it took me way longer to decide to do it lol. flashed the recovery via adb and again without a hitch. used rootjunky's site as tutorial

Whenever I try to use the Asus unlocked tool to unlock my device it just says" an unknown error happend" i''ve been searching on this and couldn't find any thing helpful, I tried a tons of times over some weeks, haven't had any luck. Tried to factory reset it for then trying again. Tried to write to Asus ans they said they didn't offer support on this topic. Tried on different networks. So my question is now... Are there any other way than using the Asus tool?

Thanks for the link contacted Asus, it appears the place I brought my tablet from had used it as a demo device and they had actually sent it in to repair before I brought it, and Asus forgot to change the device Id after changing the motherboard... So have to send it in one of the coming days

Unlocking Bootloader
Does anybody know of a work around the device unlock tool? Does Odin work? Downgrade to ICS then unlocking the bootloader?

No - you have to use the Asus Unlock tool, there is nothing els (Odin is for Samsung) - what is your objection to it?

There are 2 reasons I'm aware of for it to fail:
1. Your firewall/router doesn't allow the port. I have seen people fix it by tethering to their phone, etc
2. Your Mac address is not registered to the mother board serial number in the Asus database. Call them, get on their VIP site and tell them to fix it. Lots of people have had success.

If you contact them, I would not tell them that you want to unlock. Some users have been successful anyway, but some ran into a wall of: We do not support unlocking. Seems to depend on which rep you talk to.
Tell them you can't register for device tracker and can't get OTA updates. And please report back if and how you were successful - or not....
can't unlock the tf700t bootloader
hi, ... sorry for asking again ... i'm not able to unlock my tf700t. i really tried every method i found in this forum ... there should be a method without that unlock tool?! what is asus doing with that unlock tool?! do they send a new bootloader to install?! would it be possible to install an already unlocked and copied bootloader from one tf700t to another?!
here my little history, i was getting my device from amazon 2 years ago, there was also trouble to register this device with asus, but with help of the support i could do the registration. after that i installed all the official updates till 10.6.1.14.10, but getting pissed by the behaviour of the tablet with some pauses and sudden freezes and working again after thinking about whatoever ... so i wanted to try another rom with a hopefully better and smoother behaviour of the tablet. found that nice thing called unlock tool what i should need for unlocking the bootloader. running that tool since half year daily without success! i also opend a lot of support issues by asus, with the last answer "... it should work now, if not please send in the tablet". i can't believe that this should be the only way ...
so tried a lot: downgraded to v10.4.4.18 including full wipe of all data from two years and my little one is not happy about that ... tried v7 of unlock tool, no success! (with no other apps installed) upgraded again to v10.6.14.8, tried with v8 of unlock tool. not working! currently that's my status, plus additionally i rooted the device with motochopper and throw away some of the asus preinstalled crap ... i'm able to find my device via the asus device tracker, the device is registered with asus, but the unlock is impossible ... it freaks me out ...
so is there an option to have the locked bottloader overwritten with root permissions with an unlocked one?! and second where to get that unlocked one?! ...
thanks for an answer!
