Hey everyone, I am not really familiar with rooting tablets, only phones.
A year ago, or something I rooted my Desire z, and was really happy with everything and the new features and ROM's I could flash.
But, how can you root an tablet?
And also, where could I find a tutorial on rooting the Asus TF101 ?
And after that, I was wondering what the most stable jellybean ROM is, with the most features working, I only use it for surfing the web, using apps, playing games and not really anything more than that, so if for example the radio does not work, I don't really mind.
As long as it's stable, and faster than stock!
My last question : Is it smart to root a tablet? Because phone's are sometimes out-dated, and you can root them and update the software with a custom ROM, but do tablets really depend on this software ? Or is it just rootable and still everything inside the tablet (hardware) works?
Regards!

If you can wait then wait till Asus releases official jelly bean ROM as they have promised.. you can root by easy flash method, and for me stable ROMs have been team EOS jb and AOSP jb... all links can be found in development thread so search for them... also read all instructions in easy flash easy flash thread before u decide to root...

So they are actually supporting rooting your device?
PS: Do you have any link to a tutorial, about rooting :fingers-crossed:
Also one more question : when rooting tablets, is there the same difference as with phones ? S-off, etc?
Regards
Anyone could help me out, please?
Kind regards
I don't remember which method I used for rooting (it was sooo long ago ). But check this thread out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688447.
As for JB rom, I recommend Team EOS 3, it's super smooth and works great! I also use TWRP recovery.
I used the same root method as mentioned above and it was very easy to do. Follow instructions. If I remember correctly you will have to check which model you have. Should be on a sticker near the connector port on the bottom. As for jelly bean I have never tried. But loving Revolver ICS.
Good Luck

For root try PERI tool or 1click rooting tools, I'm using the AOSP JB rom , pretty smooth so far.

As mentioned before there are many ways to root the tablet, and they are all great.
About JB ROMs, I tried them all and they are pretty much stable and even faster the ICS ROMs. I found Team EOS to be the most stable and battery friendly and I'm currently using their latest build(72) which is just great!

Hello xda-developers,
I'm considering switching to "CleanROM Inheritance 3.2". Right now I'm running the CM10.1 nightly "2013-01-22" and I was wondering If I'm actually able to do so, because the CleanRom-Thread says I'd need the "Official Asus Jellybean 4.1.1 bootloader".
I'm unsure If I can actually switch ROMs because I thought the bootloader is not changeable and will always stay the same for one device. (Probably wrong, I guess?)
Could you please tell me if this is possible? And if yes how to get the 4.1.1 bootloader. (I'm using a 4.2 rom right now - so I have a 4.2 bootloader, right?)
Thanks in advance!
If you can install CM 10.1 on your device, then CleanROM 3.2 should not be a problem. Iv done that several times
And, 4.1 and 4.2 bootloaders are the same, maybe with some slight changes, not really sure about this one )

Great, report back when you got it installed. I recommend you use one of the Clemsyn kernels, dosent really mather which one, but i use the 1.8GHz one )).
You aren't on JB 4.2.1 Bootloader, becouse now it's impossible. Asus haven't unlocked our bootloader in 100%. You can't install custom bootloaders and APX is locked on unlocked JB bootloader. On the forum will be petition to Asus unlock 100% our bootloaders, to we could install for example Custom bootloaders, and our device will be unbrickable with NVflash access. The newest bootloader for TF300T is JB 4.1.1. I think that if you installed Cyanogenmod 10.1, you're on JB bootloader. Were you on JB or ICS, when you were unlocking your bootloader? It's very difficult to install Offical Asus OTA update on unlocked bootloader, becouse many people breaks their devices when they do it.

He had to be on JB bootloader because otherwise he would not have CleanROM installed, which is JB. If he was on ICS and flashed CleanROM he would automaticly install the JB bootloader (might be wrong on this one)

No, if you wanted to upgrade bootloader, You would have to flash offical Asus OTA, there isn't another way.

Ah okay great, thanks for the clarification. I'm running cleanRom now and it works like a charm. Thanks to everyone!
Have you flashed CleanROM over the Cyanogenmod 10? Did you format System? I think that flashing CROMI over CM10 was a bad idea, becouse CM isn't Stock base as CleanROM. If I were you, I would flash at the begining Asus JB OTA from Asus website.

There is nothing to worry about, as i said i have done this several times, but as you say do a factory reset before flashing is allways a good idea.

Iv only done quadrant, got 3300 something while in performance mode. I get almost the double using CleanROM and clemsyn 1.8 GHz, and i got 6084!!
Hey everyone I'm new here on the TF300 xda forums! I have been over at the HTC Rezound side of things for about a year now so I know a little about rooting. That being said I'm brand new to the tablet world. I bought this tablet for my self for Christmas and I am deciding to root and start customizing this awesome device. I guess what im looking for would be anything i need to know to look for in a ROM. Like what would some good features be and maybe where i should start. Any help would be appreciated.
If you want a fast and buttery smooth stock experience go CleanRom.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
If you're looking for a custom stock ROM that's fast and great to use I recommend Hydro 6.0. I use Hydro 6.0 and I love it, it was the only stock ROM I really liked. It's got great features too! GPU is cranked or somewhere around there (stock is 416), forced 120fps, it's fast, comes rooted, acid audio mod and awesome beats equalizer. Oh, and if you do use Hydro 6.0 I recommend using Clemsyn's overclock kernel, overclock it to 1.8 and you will have no issues. It also puts the GPU at 650 which is awesome! NFS MW runs no problem!!!! That kernel makes the ROM sooooo much better. But the best part is it's smooth and buttery, melted jellybean butter candy
Now, if you're looking for a custom ROM that's not stock, check out CM 10.1 or Blackbean 7. Both running Android 4.2.1 (thats a plus) and their easy to use and HIGHLY customization. I personally don't care for them because it's a bit overwhelming with the amount of customization you can do.
The best advice you will receive on this is to just try out different ROMs. Find one that suits you...one that you like, fits your needs and screams YOU.

I would say use CWM (Clockwork Recovery Mod) because with TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) I heard some people have had some issues such as it freezes in the middle of a flash, it won't boot into recovery or they get soft bricked. I haven't seen anyone with issues like that, that have used CWM.
I use twrp for recovery and no issues.
ROM suggestions above are spot on. The two big stock ROMs are CleanROM and Hydro. I was using CleanROM but now that Hydro is updating again, I just flashed it and am playing around with it. I haven't tried any of the non-stock ROMs. Would love more customization but I am concerned about stability and would want some stock Asus widgets.
For a kernel, I am a fan of Unter's. Clemsyn breaks the front camera, I believe. Unter does a great job.
+1 for TWRP. Many users here have had issues with CWM, including me. I had problems flashing zips and it wouldn't make backups correctly. Since using fast boot to flash TRWP, ive had no issues at all.

I just got this tablet and am running Stock 4.1.1 android. I have unlocked and root my device. Although I have noticed that occasionally the tablet stutters or is a little laggy. Coming from my Nexus 4 I do not have no lag or stutter issues.
Is the Nexus 4 really that much faster?
Does the 4.2.1 update fix the lag on the tf300?
Is the stock ROM(4.1.1) just not optimized and would go to a custom ROM fix or help with the lag?
I assumed that the tegra 3 would give similar performance to what I get with my Nexus 4, which is very quick and pretty much never has any stutter or lag issue, but maybe the Nexus 4 is really that much faster. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
I've read that performing a factory reset has fixed this issue for some people. Is there any issues with performing a factory reset on an unlocked rooted tf300t? Would I have to reroot the tablet?

CleanROM is a good choice because it's regularly updated and based off stock Asus firmware. However, when I used to use it in the past there were issues with using custom high-performance kernels cause it broke the ability to use my front camera (not good :thumbdown. So now I'm using CM10.1, on the official nightlies and its the best experience so far.. latest stock 4.2.2 android, full dock support and everything works as intended. Plus, I think there's been a performance kernel for CM10.1 released in the dev section just recently. Take a look!

Front facing camera was fixed a long time ago with kernel modules. Newest version that will be out soon based on 4.2.1 is based from the Asus 10.6.1.8 source for the TF300 so everything will work correctly

Yeah I think I may jump onto CleanROM again, now that I'm using linux I'll need stock based roms.. have an idea for 4.2.1 OTA? And would we need to be on the new bootloader/kernel?
AW: General stuttering and lagginess
I had the same Problem with my TF300T ago, but after a few days of using the lags were gone (Im on official 4.2.1 not rooted). So i would use it for a few more days and see what happens

No, you need to unlock your bootloader to install a custom ROM. For ROMs, I would suggest PAC-man if you want all the features, or use CROMi for a more upgraded stock feel.
And if something happens and I need to repair my Asus tf300 what would the do nothing ?

Well, you would have to make Nvflash backups before messing up your tablet. If you do, you can restore it almost always. The link is in my signature.

Unlocking the BL means you void the guarantee.
I flashed several ROMs and all of them were much better (faster&stable) than the stock Rom.
With a Rom based on CM (like PAC) you can custimze allmost everything.
CROMI, which is based on Stock, is very fast. But you can not customize as much as on CM Roms.
Depends on your Needs
Well, it depends if you want to stay with 4.2.1, or 4.2.2, or move to 4.3. Right now, there are not alot of options for 4.3 yet.
First try CROMi-X, it's a stock ROM with tweaks, OC, UV, etc... fast and stable.
CM 10.1 or 10.2 Cyanogenmod, customizations + OC.
PAC all-in-one, most customizations + OC, less stable.
AOKP 4.3.1, customizations + OC, (This is what I am trying and using right now, so far so good)
