I've been searching through the forums here, but haven't really found a definate answer.
I got a tf300tG that I've updated to 4.2.1 using the tablets own update.
it's build number is:
JOP40D.TW_epad-10.6.2.10-20130918
After the update, I unlocked the bootloader using the file from asus' own website.
So far so good.
Now I'm trying to figure out how to get twrp installed, but most guides seem to be for the non-3g version (tf300t), and no guides on the G version seem to be updated to 4.2.1
I checked the twrp site, but the tf300tg link leads to an empty folder.
However, the tf300t link leads to a folder that inlcudes files seemingly for the tf300tg, but none of the G versions have the 4.2 ending...
So what to do???
Regards
Anders
Use the 4.2 version from the T model. Hav done that on my TG with no issues in my limited usage....

Yes, as I understand it TWRP is the recovery and the 3g feature is being enable by the ROM - I previously loaded the ROM for the T version and the 3g stopped working. I later flash a rom for the TG version and the 3g worked again.
When you compare the ROM version numbers between T and TG models you will see it's different....

It will install a "safe" version of CWM recovery (but it's not the latest release). I recommend that you update recovery to the latest version available after rooting your phone.

Hi,
i`ve a B60 Pad and a B70 Dock. Will this work with my pad ?
Best regards
Hasan Caliskan
Yes, it depends on the tablet.
So I decided to try out the Cyanogenmod 9 for my Transformer pad tf300t. Did as the instructions said using twrp 2.0 and booted up and everything. The wifi however would not work meaning it sees that wifi is available but will not connect. I tried using the latest nightly version still no success. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I went back to my nandroid version feeling a little bummed that I cant get this thing going and share in the excitement of more and better features.
Also goomanager no longer works properly as I can't get it to search for available roms.
Same... lol

so you don't know how to fix it then
quick question:
what country settings are your wlan router/ap and your pad are set to?
i had a similar prob because i used channel 14 on my ap and my pads and phones didn't see them untill i set them to the same country.

I am not sure but when i went back to stock it is working fine. I am in JA but i purchased the tablet in the US so it is the US version. But something I noticed between the CM9 and the stock is that the stock showed the wifi version while the CM9 didn't. I was reading about that as well that a fix is to probably change the channel but how do I do that?

log on to your router/ap and there should be a wlan settings pane - and select a channel >12 and you should be ok.
otherwise i would suggest you try termleechs BAKED rom - i haven't tried it myself since my pad will arrive only next week but from what i read it rocks (and his aokp one rocked )

Since me301t and tf300 (as far as i know) have the same guts, would it be possible to safely use rooting methods/roms from tf300 on me301? Thanks

hello,
the app to unlock the bootloader in tf300 works in me301.
I managed to install TWRP with the 4.2 bootloader and works fine. This allows playground to experimentation.
Roms and kernels works as well, but I only tried 3 of them.

Unlocked bootloader and installed TWRP, I first installed the wrong version of TWRP which had no touch input and had to force a reboot, this is the one that works for me:
http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf300t/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob
Thanks for being a good test bunny for me
Backing up my Smart Tab now and will see if any of the roms work.
*Update*
Tested the CM 10.1 experimental and the CROMi-Xenogenesus 4.4.1.
CM 10.1 boots and all but touch input is weird, the "Show touches circle" is persistent and input is like using a mouse; I have to drag the circle around and double click for a single click. I tried the latest two versions and had the same issues.
CROMi boots and doesn't suffer from the touch weirdness, but WiFi and Bluetooth are not working. I suspect if I were to pull libs from the ME301T stock I will be able to get them to work in this rom but I'm done testing for now.

I want to start building some CM10.1 and other TF300 ports. But I cannot seem to find out how to get a system dump that is needed for the porting. I can copy /system to my computer, but it seems like there should be more needed than just pulling that in order to do a proper port.
Maybe it is just a matter of copying /system for the needed dump, but if anyone can shed some light on that for me it'd be a great help!
To simplify this process for everyone I wrapped up all the the necessary tools, images, drivers, etc for getting your ME301T unlocked in a single rar file. This works as of 5-13-2013, I'll update it as needed when people report problems with any of the included stuff.
I cannot stress enough that I am not personally responsible for any of this work, I simply combined it for simplicity. Please follow the links below to thank the dev's that did all of the hard work for their time!
The rar file contains:
*Contains drivers for ME301T for Windows (From Asus)
*Contains motochopper, root solution for ME301T (from djrbliss, http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/15208-root-motochopper-yet-another-android-root-exploit-412/)
*Contains necessary files and brief instructions for bootloader unlock (from philos64, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697227)
*Contains boot image for TWRP (from eyeballer, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672108)
Again please thank the original devs!

That's not what you said in the OP. In the OP, you said you had the 4.2 bootloader and flashed a -JB recovery. The -JB recoveries are for the 4.1 bootloader. Your brick doesn't have as much to do with the T vs. TG mixup as it did with you missing the sticky thread that the warned against flashing -JB recoveries with the 4.2 bootloader.
