Have the same issue here. Did you find a fix?
I'm on latest firmware (4.2.1) and using unlock_v8.

I was able to unlock the bootloader after registering the tab on Asus support website.

While browsing this forum, i read a comment that says you can root the tf300 without unlocking the bootloader. Is this true?

Not true.
I've rooted, while still having a locked bootloader.
If you're still on ICS can use 1-Click root v1.1 here
If you updated to JB, then not sure if you can root at the moment.

Just so there is no surprise, you will most likely start getting errors when it tries to push files to your device. It pushes to /data/local which no longer has write permissions for all users.

It doesn't work for the reasons stated in this thread. Just errors and an offer to exit at the end.
I'm still hoping someone will try to downgrade using fastboot since the updated boot loader has the USB option. If we can downgrade, we can easily root.

I have looked around for a few days now but I can't seem to find a way to unlock and root after the JB update.
I would like to avoid the asus unlock if I can only I don't know if I can yet. =/

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.

There are guides on the forum pertaining to rooting your device and installing a custom ROM. If you just want to root, this method seems to work:

Use motochopper, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228613
That method works for TF300T on Android 4.1 and 4.2.1.
Good Luck!

That's what I used and it was easy peasy.
What Happened ?
Same issue here, but no fix yet. At least, not that I saw.
Which version of the unlock utility did you use? 4.2.1 devices should use the v8 version according to the Asus website.

It should be on the apk file you're using to unlock.
For example: Unlock_v8.apk

There isn't a v8.2 on the Asus support website. Where did you get your unlock apk?
Not sure if this may be the issue your having but if you have had your tablet rma'd this may be whats happening.

Yes you can/should be able to unlock your bootloader with the unlock app provided by asus.
Which unlock tool app to use will depend on which JB version your running, if on a JB 4.1 bootloader then you want to use the v7 tool, if on a JB 4.2 bootloader then you want to use the v8 tool - both of which can be found in the first post of the index thread here
