Is there a way to overclock without unlocking?

I don't believe so. This requires a kernel that can OC, and I don't think you can flash a new kernel while locked. Unless someone else knows different I think your stuck. If you decide to unlock give CROMI-X a try with _thats3 kernel, you might find you have no need for overclocking.

No there is not, because the stock kernel is not made to overclock. I agree with post #2, that's V3 kernel runs spendid.

So I'm getting myself an ASUS Eee Pad Transformer for Christmas, does this device have the ability to have an unlocked bootloader? (I will be installing custom ROMs and overclocking)
Thanks in advance!
Yes, any future devices are completely rootable. No doubts.

it all depends on the build number in the serial. The devs here figured out a way around it regardless.

So in that case - yes on unlockable bootloader, yes on root (obviously).

You should be fine with the app that the devs developed. There's also a recovery installer app to get CWM installed properly too. Then flashing ROMs should be easy. There are quite a few on here running custom ROMs with a newer serial#, so no worries.

Thanks, I've got a customized Droid 3 as you can see from my signature, so its not new to me. Just wanted to make sure.
im looking to buy this today, can this be easily overclocked ?
can be OC up to 1500Mhz. Not more till a kernel dev will fix it.

Anoyone wjho knows anything about JB og a Root for this device?
Iwould be happy the day i can get a custom firmware on it, sad that i dont know how to make this things on my own....
i think theres no way to root right now because the tf700kl has another soc as the tf700t and so the recovery from tf700t doesnt work.
and the recovery is the only way to root a asus device with jb on it.
so someone must make a recovery optimized for the tf700kl

There is still no bootloader unlocker for it either. I haven't dared to try the one for TF700T ICS. So even it there was a recovery, we might be screwed. The TF700KL is on ICS 4.0.4 atm btw. And the method what worked for TF700T 4.0.3 does not work it seems (I tried...).

There is no JB yet and all the files from the Asus website have vanished.

Hey guys,
I got a Transformer for Christmas. It came with JB 4.1, and I did a firmware update after I got the device. I'm not certain whether I'm going to keep it, but I want to see how much CM10.1 would improve it before I decide. However, if I still decide to return it, I need to be able to return it to 100% factory default condition - meaning factory default Android + removing CWM.
Is this possible? If so, how?

TF300T is an awesome tablet (good value for money), but when you install CleanROM Inheritance 3.0.4 + untermensch's overclocked kernel (1600 Mhz instead of the default 1200Mhz) it is so much better.
I bought mine probably 3 months ago and have no regrets at all....it is unlocked / rooted and has CleanROM installed.and I did a factory reset and removed all the bloatware and junk apps which I would never use.I have used Untermensch's kernel but currently it runs again on stock rom cause it is fast enough for me.
I am very close to unlocking my tablet and installing cromi. unfortunately i updated to jb before finding out that the jb bootloader blocks nvflash. My question is is there any brick protection other than nvflash? Also what kind of mistakes would i have to make in order to get a brick? Oh and one more question. Don't i need the most recent bootloader to install chromi anyway? Wouldn't that eliminate the possibility of using nvflash? sorry for all the newby questions but i want to make sure i fully understand this whole process before unlocking

I afraid nvflash is the only one. Most of people brick their device is due to their mistakes. Using an older version of custom recovery and try to wipe data is the main cause of 99.9% of bricking. Once you have the latest bootloader and the most recent or latest custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) you pretty much brick safe. I flashed over 10 times a week and I don't have nvflash. Don't be afraid go for it.

Ok so pretty much wiping data only bricks if I have an older recovery right? Or does it brick if you wipe data at all?

Yes, brick if use old recovery with JB bootloader. If you have the latest recovery and JB bootloader you can wipe what ever you want, should be fine. In the beginning just ask before you attempt to do anything, until you got the hang then you can be on your own.

It will only do so if your bootloader is unlocked and you are rooted. Otherwise you must fastboot the recovery. After fastbooting the recovery you should be good.

Ok good. Ya I already know how to install it. Just making sure it would install the latest version and I wouldn't have problems. So far I've found zero problems with the build quality and I haven't had any issues that would indicate a factory defect. Would it be safe to go ahead and unlock or should I wait a bit longer?

I personally dont think you will have any problem whatsoever so go for it! But, There is always that chance so just make sure you follow everything step by step. And I think it is safe to unlock. I did so only after a month of being clueless and researching on xda and my tablet runs fine, except I enjoy experimenting so never have my tablet fully customized lol. Also cant wait for 4.2.1 Cromi!

Haha as was I, but it is worth it in the end. If you read all the reviews of tf700's being bricked, it is not because they unlocked and installed a custom recovery, it is later when they try flashing newer roms that are not compatible with their bootloaders and their recoveries that cause the britck. If everything is kept up to date, which I wait a week or so to make sure no one encounters problems before updating a recovery, then you should have no problems.

Thanks. I think I'll downgrade to ics and root first. I know it will be worth it. It's just kind of scary. I have the latest bootloader so I shouldn't have issues from what I've read.

That may be your best bet. When I did it I just went and unlocked then flashed recovery through fast boot and that was it. I also recommend cromi/CleanRom by sbdags. It is indeed a piece of art compared to stock even though it is stock based.

Rom: CleanRom 3.4.4
That's the rom I was planning on going with.
