US 9.4.4.3.30 update:
Asus support site
2) Put the file on your tablets internal storage

make a backup

factory reset and

This will upgrade your tablet to Jellybean (Android 4.1.1)
1) Download the necessary files:

5) Now you need to reboot your tablet, this will start the installation of the Jellybean update
6) Wait untill the update is finished and now you have Jellybean on your tablet
== Part 3 - Install recovery and rooting ==
Let's start with installing the recovery
1) Download these 2 files:
- Jellybean recovery with fastboot files:
Fastboot files + JB recovery
- Root files:
Root Files
- You can also download the new CWM Touch recovery if you don't like TWRP:
CWM Touch recovery thread
2) Extract the recovery with fastboot files zip and open a command prompt in the same folder of the adb and fastboot files (Shift + Right mouse)
3) Reboot into the bootloader of your tablet, type:
adb reboot bootloader
4) When your tablet has reached the bootloader navigate with
volume down to the
usb icon and press
volume up to confirm.
5) To flash the recovery type:
- TWRP:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery tf300t-jb.blob
- CWM:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery CWM-Touch.blob
6) A blue bar will appear and the recovery will be installed, when the blue bar is filled press volume up + power button to reboot into the tablet.
Now we will root the tablet
7) Copy
Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed to the internal storage of your tablet. then reboot into the bootloader again.
8) This time you need to select the RCK icon with volume up to enter the recovery image.
