You must unlock the bootloader to do it.

i think you have to downgrade the firmware if you are on the latest firmware to 29

I should clarify. My previous post is correct if you upgraded to jellybean. If you are still on ICS, you can root using the debugfs method found in the Dev section. You can do this on v30 for the t and v40 of the tg.

[Q] Unlock tool JB

How to unlock the boot loader on JB? On the Asus site it says "(Only works with TF700T ICS OS)." It also works in JB? Or there another way to unlock it?

This has been discussed about a million times already, but the unlock tool works just fine on Jelly Bean...

In order to root the Infinity without unlocking the boot loader you must first downgrade to ICS, root,then use OTA rootkeeper to keep the root when upgrading to JB.

[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

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.
