[Q]Unlock bootloader on 4.1.1?

Hey guys my brother just got this tablet a few days ago and he's getting pretty frustrated with the stock software provided by Asus. I'm going to install CleanROM or CM10 on his tablet, still haven't decided. Anyways everywhere I've read says the bootloader unlock tool provided by Asus is meant for Android 4.0 only. I've heard conflicting reports of it working for some users on JB and not for others.
Does anyone know of a way to unlock the bootloader successfully on 4.1.1? I'm a pretty advanced user and can figure out everything else no problem, I just don't want to risk damaging his tablet.
Thanks.

Go to the Asus website and download the unlock apk in the utilities section.

I can confirm the boot loader unlocking tool works on the jb update.
I think Saenz is the only Rom available with the new jb boot loader.

※This tool now only works with TF300T ICS & JB of TW,US,WW CN SKU. It won’t work on other devices.
Straight from asus tf300 support

... except when it doesn't.
Take a look at some of the recent posts on the topic and you'll see that some people have had a hard time getting it to unlock. The device dials home during the unlock process and places the serial number into a database. If that process terminates abnormally then you don't get to unlock.

I have seen the posts as well.
I understood the question to be whether JB could be unlocked or just ICS.

i got a refurbed tf300 and the unlock app worked once i registered my device on asus website.

Rooted, how about my future jelly bean?

Hi guys. Sorry if this has been answered before but some reason I couldn't find any answers for this question.
I rooted my device but didn't unlock it. Now when the jelly bean update will be coming within a year or so I was wondering that do I get the ota update for this or do I have to update it manually?
Also been reading two kind of answers about the warranty. Is it now void after rooting or only after unlocking?
Thank you for the help!

Still locked CAN receive OTA update to JB. But, some people (like me) are having problems with download coming through. As long as your locked, you can download from Asus.
As to root, technically, you voided warranty. Used to be they had no way of knowing without you unlocking.
BUT, I'm hearing stories that tell of Asus device tracker being able to find out and report it back to company.
That is highly possible. They're various stories about it, and Device Tracker too.
If you haven't activated it, DON'T.

[Q] Root to Transformer Prime (TF201) JB stock?

Hi guys
I´m buying a second hand transformer prime.TF201 but no post it in developers forum yet
This tablet have a JB stock rom version so isn´t roted unafortunaly.
My question is: I´ts possible rooted or flashed this stock ROM or downgrade? The last I read, that only roted the ICS version, It´s true?
Thx :good:

I miss one question
How I can see if my Transformer device It´s unlocking?

If your tf201 was unlocked with the asus tool, then when it boots it will say 'bootloader unlocked' in the top left.
As far as I'm aware you cannot unlock if you upgraded to JB before unlocking, it seems to implied by the prerequisits section of:
androidroot__dot__mobi__slash__t3_nvflash/
for some reason it wont let me post urls, so you can hopefully work out the url that i mean above (t3_nvflash is one word)

cool
!!! Like it

Unlocking, Rooting, and ROM's question
I'm new with Tablets forgive me if this is a stupid question but is there possably any way to use one program to unlock and root or just root the Asus TF300T without messing with the ROM on version 4.2.1 android jelly bean? The reason I ask is bc I'm use to doing things and rooting on my droid razr and for that all you need is razr utility. So basically is there a utility out there or wil there be one in the future for my Asus TF300T like something thats simple and your rooted? please somebody let me know it I'm dieing to get this TF rooted.

Rooting? Stability? Unlocked Bootloader still possible?

I have a few questions...
I've been around xda for a bit rooting and flashing roms but this TF300 business sounds a bit more complicated so I have some questions.
Build# JOP40D.WW_epad-10.6.1.8-20130225
I have a TF300T running stock 4.2.1 rooted with a bunch of root mods to make things a bit smoother but it looks like custom rom would be still faster than this. Am I correct?
How stable are the custom roms in comparison to the stock rom? Will I be able to get OTA updates in the future if ASUS decides to release more?
Is my bootloader still unlockable if I'm running whatever came with the last stock update?
How hard it is to brick a TF300? I've had 3 phones that were pretty much unbrickable. (Assuming one does not flash the wrong files to the wrong phone)
Which tutorial should I be follow? Can I unlock the bootloader on 4.2.1's bootloader or do I have to downgrade?

Is this sub-forum not friendly enough to help out a new guy who has read through many topics to try and help himself first?
