Hi there! I have a stock TF300. I have had it since Feb. Lately its been running really slow and sluggish. I have tried turning it off when not using it and whatnot. Its to the point where I don't even want to use it because I can get things done faster on my phone.
I have rooted and rommed phones in the past, a Samsung gtab7, and a kindle fire.
My tablet literally has maybe 12 games for my 4 year old and maybe 10 apps that I have put on it. Pretty sad.
Is rooting the asus tf300 just as easy? I know that would help my situation, it sucks that we have to hack our devices just to get them to run the way we want.
I have read through some of the guides. Some seem pretty simple... I guess its just a matter of me doing it.
Thanks for the advice.

yes rooting is very easy, just use motochopper
Rooting is suuuuper easy. If you decide to put a custom recovery on it and ROM it, make sure you know exactly what your doing, which files and recoveries are correct, etc.

we need more info to help mate are you on stock? rooted? how many apps you got installed (just a rough number lol), if your on stock what version and if your using a custom rom which one?, then we will be able to make your tab fly
Its stock android 4.2.1 with 76 apps include asus apps and aps pre installed.
And not rooted.

Well rooting and getting rid of or freezing the bloatware would help mate but if your not bothered about your warrenty then custom Roms are the best way to really make this a great tablet

you can use motochopper to get root access the use titanum backup to freeze all the bloat ware and then use things like greenify and rebooter apps to free up ram and thats helps me out a hell of a lot mate

I just picked up my transformer tf300 yesterday, it is an amazing tablet. I'm just wondering if I should root and flash custom roms or keep it stock. And if i do want to root and flash what are some things i need to know before i do. I have experience with my HTC hd2 but i know Android native devices are almost completely different
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
just my opinion
dive right in,
root - look for the debugfs thread and the process is automated for you
it does not require you to use the unlock tool, so you will retain your warranty
you'll also want to install busybox
and either superuser or Supersu from market place
currently there's a rom currently based on stock which is awesome,
incredibly fast
it's night and day difference
After you've rooted, if you want to flash custom roms
use the asus unlock tool
then install goo manager from the market place - it has an option to install TWRP recovery
reboot and make a backup
then flash away, any rom you like
i recommend flashing seamzscreams rom, it's buttery smooth plus it's based off the stock. 30 build.

If you plan on rooting I recommend you installing cwm recovery and keep a copy of the asus .30 firmware on your internal sd card. This way you can return to stock if you dont like what the custom rom offers. None of the recoveries can read the ext sd card at this time and you can only flash the stock firmware with cwm.
What about that twrp recovery it can't flash stock roms?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
It can't flash the stock Asus ROM. It just hangs. It flashes the custom stock ROM fine, though.
If you root/unlock, do you need an extra SD card to save a backup with from either CWM or TWRP?
Noob obv.
Can cwm install custom roms as well?

CWM should be able to flash custom ROMs. However, some folks have had trouble using CWM to flash seanzscreams' ROM and had to use TWRP to flash it. Until either recovery fully stabilizes, you should be prepared to switch recoveries back and forth depending on which ROM you flash or when restoring backups. And you should always keep an extra ROM to flash on your internal storage just in case since neither recovery supports external storage yet.
Unless you have some specific app you really want/need root for, why do it?
Soo, twrp would be more reliable and if anything goes wrong I'll switch to cwm and flash stock firmware
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
I couldn't get seanz rom to work with clockwork either i had to use twrp as well. Not a big deal but now I have both on my tablet.
If you unlock use seanz rom it's incredibly fast.

Since QC issues are rampant with TF300T, I'm gonna stay stock + root for the first year. I have a feeling it'll need to eventually get sent in for repairs.

These are my thoughts exactly. I will stay stock and rooted unless a really smooth JB ROM gets released and I cant stand waiting for the official one.

Hi
I updated my tf300 to JB and i used OTA Root keeper etc. And now my tablet keeps rebooting after 1 min i cant turn it off because that takes longer than 1 min! Can someone help me please?
I also tried restore on the settings menu and it takes also longer than 1 min.
Help please!
Can someone please help me?
Never mind i fixed it.
I did data swipe.
I almost got an hearth attack
And i think i have still root on my tablet.
I installed titanium backup and it didnt gave me an error this means i still got root right?

You may have lost part of it. Test with root checker.

The reboot was probably due to a root app not optimized for the new kernel. For example I found that ezoverclock causes boot loops, obviously it was created with previous kernel version in mind. So if you had ezoverclock don't reinstall until it gets updated.

If a basic overclocker like ez was causing this, you might want to avoid them for now, just an opinion.

At present, if you are on jb and want root, you must unlock. There's a guide in the general section. Follow step 3 to get root, and recovery as a bonus.

Absolutely. I used twrp to flash it just because it worked better for me, but cwm will flash it too. Flash it, download supersu from the store, update the such binary automatically with it, and off you go with root.

Ok, I'm confused. I rooted before I took the update thinking I would continue to have root after....that isn't the case. So now I want to root again, Does this link help me with that? I don't think It will from what I am reading but again, I'm not sure.

Some people lost root after the update, especially those who did a factory wipe of data afterward, like me. This guide helps those with unlocked bootloader. At this time, you cannot root jb with a locked bootloader if you lost it during the upgrade.

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

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.
