Unfortunatley no, think of the bootloader like the UEFI/BIOS (Not exactly the same but for this explanation) on a PC. The device needs the ASUS specific bootloader to ensure the hardware functions in the OS, A GRUB bootloader would not be able to do this and the device would be "bricked" due to the different standards of the bootloaders and the GRUB bootloader not being device specific. An alternative to your idea would be to install a version of Ubuntu on your device using the thread here as this will use bootloaders and software specific to your device to load up the Ubuntu operating system. I hope I could help you re-purpose your tablet and good luck

Sent from my LG-P350 using XDA App
yeah my on version is 2.2.2
I used all versions o ginger break but no thing happened
should I do anything before using the rooting programs such as safemode or some thing
(I checked the sd card and tried different ones, and usb debugging)
Not if the root manual says differently.Ill try to find some other way and I'll post it here

Please any solution
Please answer me
hey you only had to downgrad youre device, than root and flash a custom rom.
try it with the kdz update tool (google kdz lg )
but take a different firmware 10.e shoud be ok you can take any version of it.
10e should be ok. i hope i could help you,
No any solution without roms because I heard it may be harmful for the device
I also tried the rooting by DOS and I get
unable to chmod files
and then unable to copy files
Why???
Please I( want solution
What LG stock ROM do you currently have? If it's 10a, then it's one of the hardest to root.
I had 10a, then upgraded to 10d and gingerbreak worked like a charm.
Just got a TF300, it already came updated to .30. Ive spent the entire afternoon and evening trying to figure out how to root my darn tablet. Ive tried literally every method listed on this site. I tried to downgrade to .17 but my tablet refuses to accept it. Im still on .30 and I dont know how to downgrade? do I have to downgrade or is there a method to root the .30? I havent gotten to checking out roms yet but I will probably end up flashing to the stablest JB rom available. Thanks in advance
You can use sparky's root tool it works with all versions.

I have asus tf300t I never rooted on ics either and have bootloader locked. I updated to latest via ota updatesz is there a way to root without unlocking bootloader any link will be helpfull. Or guide me on how to unlock bootloader and then root.
Thanks in advance
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
You can unlock the bootloader with ASUS's official app on their website, search up transformer tf300 and there will be a .apk that you can install to unlock it. After that, use fastboot to flash a recovery such as cwm or twrp, then flash a root package or a ROM with root. Hope this helped!
Oky thanks can you send me link on how to flash using fastboot on tf300? Also cant I just keep factory room and root that if ao how any links will be helpful thanks

You can read this thread for more information about unlocking and rooting, but before starting anything, please think about it and be aware that unlocking the bootloader will:
- void your warranty
- prevent further OTA updates for your tablet from Asus

Before you read, there are some considerations: I unlocked my device last night and I am running either .29 or .30 of the ICS firmware. I also, never connected the device to my network until after I unlocked it. So if you have a TF300T runing the above versions of ICS, then it should work for you. You said you: "updated to latest via ota..." If you did this, you are on Jelly Bean and at the moment, there is no known way to make your device "unbrickable." You can still mod it, but if you dont follow directions perfectly, you could easily brick your device. Now without further hesitation....
Here it is, the TF300T unlocking guide:
Go to the Asus site and download the v7 tool
copy the v7 tool to the tablet
run the v7 tool on your tablet from the tablet GUI
it will install the v7 unlocker application
run the unlocker application from your app drawer
you have to accept a few agreements
click the unlock button
after that, your device will reboot
This is how to confirm that the unlock tool was successful: After your TF300 reboots, you will see the normal ASUS logo in the middle and some very small text in the top left will say: "device unlocked."
Now for rooting:
If you already have root, and you want to keep your exiting root access, make a backup after unlocking. The backup instructions are included in the "unbrickable" method. If you do not have root, just make a backup anyways. Then you can flash a ROM onto your device that is pre-loaded with root.
I hope that answered your questions.
Thanks but no I am on jb. So I will just wait till a solution comes out for unbrickable before trying anything dont want to mod ot just want tp remove a few apps

It seems someone always bricks on something that was thought to be unbrickable. No I'm not suggesting you go forward, just the opposite. As long as you aren't sure about change enjoy your tablet as it is and just forget about the apps that bother you.
Good Luck!

hi , i wanna know if its possible use towelroot in the android lolipop, i wanna root my sheild tablet without void warranty... if someone know any program like this for i root my shield tell me please
thank you
Diogo.
No.
My understanding is Towelroot uses an exploit in Android 4.4.2 and below (certain kernel versions to be exact) to gain root. The exploit was patched in 4.4.3 and newer.
SuperSU 2.27 Beta seems to be the solution, but may be risky.

According to Chainfire, SuperSU 2.27 is very invasive and might cause bootloops - see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2868133
However, read the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2945044 - I've just updated from a rooted KK to Lollipop and successfully got root using SuperSU 2.27 without any issues thus far.

I had successfully rooted the DL701q using kingoroot. A couple of days ago an OTA update took place, unrooted the device. Now kingo root will not root, geniusroot will not root it, nor will towelroot.
Any ideas?? the update obviously put the hurt on rooting this deice
