Hello
I flashed my tablet with firmware for the TF300T, there's some time.
Asus has just put online firmware for TF300TG.
So I download the firmware for my tablet is in the WW V10.4.3.7
I put on an SD card or the memory of the tablet
I run the installation, the installation starts then stops
She refuses to install.
Can you help me install the correct firmware on my tablet so I can find, all its features and the recognition of the sim card, and 3G?
thank you

I was able to install 10.4.3.7 on my unlocked and rooted TF300TG (but slightly different, than in the guide). CWM recovery and root after update gone fine. One thing that I was not aware of - I've lost everything on internal memory partition, which mounts on /sdcard.
Could you please give us a step by step how you updated your 300tg tablet to JB?? Am struggling to do this as well but it doesnt work for me.. 
Not a full guide, but some info:
BE CAREFUL, IT MIGHT BRICK YOUR DEVICE
I've lost all data on /sdcard partition, and I don't know is it expected, or I've messed something up
START: I had TF300TG WW tablet with 9.4.4.40 rooted and unlocked bootloader. I also had CWM recovery installed.
PROCESS:
1) Flash blob file from 9.4.4.40 firmware via fastboot to restore stock firmware/recovery. helpful thread
1.5) Clear dalvik cache, factory reset in CWM recovery.
2) Download 10.4.3.7 firmware from asus website
3) Unzip ONCE
4) Place WW_epad-user-10.4.3.7.zip to /sdcard and reboot
5) At this point my tablet displayed notification about update file and I've just crossed my fingers and click install update.
After a while it booted to JB without any surprises. Restoring root and flashing custom recovery procedures were very similar (or even identical) to guide in this topic.

ok, so for me its not walkest
because in fact I am already JB, but bad because I flash firmware with TF300T.
I hope the gold flash with the correct firmware for my TF300TG.
I flash with WW_epad-user-10.4.2.13 (wrong firmware)
So I have to reflash at any price with WW_epad-user-10.4.3.7.
To find all my features my tablet is 3G.
---------------------------------------------------------------
ok , donc pour moi sa marcheras pas
car en faite je suis déjà en JB, mais mauvais firmware car j'ai flasher avec un TF300T.
or la je souhaite flasher avec le bon firmware pour ma TF300TG.
J'ai flasher avec le WW_epad-user-10.4.2.13 ( mauvais firmware )
Donc je dois a tout prix reflasher avec le WW_epad-user-10.4.3.7.
Pour retrouver toutes mes fonctionnalités de ma tablette est de la 3G.

Is this method the same for WW versions? I've already upgraded to jellybean and was wondering if it was possible to unlock my bootloader and/or root?

If you don't want to unlock your TF300 on JB bootloader, you cannot root unfortunately.
Cause you must use a recovery, and if you are locked, you cannot install a recovery.
Guys, have you seen that two new threads have been opened. One for the 300Tg and other for the 300TF and which relate to all discussions on Jelly Bean:
(TF300TG)For All Your Jelly Bean discussions
(TF300T)For All Your Jelly Bean discussions
So please post on those posts
Thanks

90Dear Asus Transformer TF300T users,
Asus released the 4.2 Jellybean update. Since there are some people with fastboot problems or don't know how to install recovery or root, here is a guide which will let you:
- Install recovery and give you root acces on latest 4.2 update
- [Optional] Remove bloatware from your tablet
== Part 1 - Preparation ==
Before we start with this guide I can tell you guys it will work for:
- All 4.1 firmwares
- All 4.2 firmwares
So what do you need to do as a preparation of rooting and installing recovery:
1. Upgrade your tablet to the desired firmware: 4.1 or 4.2
2. Be sure the correct drivers for your tablet are installed!!
3. Download the updated rooting toolkit: Updated Motochopper rooting toolkit
4. Download TWRP for your firmware version:
5. Rename the downloaded TWRP blob file to twrp.blob and copy it to the root of your sdcard
5. Extract the rooting toolkit to a place you like.
== Part 2 - Rooting ==
1. Open up the folder where you placed the rooting toolkit.
2. Open the run file and follow the instructions
After installation the tablet should reboot and you should be rooted.
== Part 3 - Latest TWRP recovery ==
Be sure you have twrp.blob on your removable sdcard or it won't work!
1. Open up CMD in the folder were you have your adb files (Shift + Right Mouse Click => Open CMD here) and use the following commands to install TWRP:
adb shell
su
dd if=/Removable/MicroSD/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
2. After this you need to reboot your tablet to let it install the recovery18MOD EDIT: This Method ONLY applies to JB 4.1. Do Not Use on JB 4.2
Dear Asus Transformer TF300T users,
Asus released the Jellybean update in the United States. Here is a guide which will let you:
- Prepare your tablet for the Jellybean update
- Update your tablet to Jellybean software
- Install recovery and give you root acces
- [Optional] Remove bloatware from your tablet
- [Optional] Speed up your tablet using tweaks
== Part 1 - Prepare the tablet ==
First we need to install the 9.4.3.30 US update to be able to upgrade to the Jellybean software, then we will do the actual upgrade to Jellybean.
1) Download the US 9.4.4.3.30 update: Asus support site
2) Put the file on your tablets internal storage
3) Got to recovery and make a backup
4) In recovery do to a factory reset and wipe dalvik cache
- TWRP recovery: Wipe => Dalvik Cache and Wipe => Factory reset
- CWM recovery: Factory reset and Advanced => Wipe Dalvik Cache
5) Flash the US_epad-user-9.4.3.30.zip file
Don't install a custom recovery after doing this step. The Jellybean update will only be automatically launched with stock recovery
6) Reboot into your tablet and enable "USB-debugging" and "Unknown Sources" in settings
7) Connect your tablet to your pc and download this file: Automated Rooting Toolkit
8) Extract the rooting toolkit and follow the instructions to root your tablet.
9) Once you finished the rooting process you are ready to continue to the upgrade process
== Part 2 - Upgrade to Jellybean ==
This will upgrade your tablet to Jellybean (Android 4.1.1)
1) Download the necessary files:
- dlpkgfile: Jellybean OTA update Rename this file to dlpkgfile
- command: command.zip (Extract this zip before copying to your tablet)
2) Copy both files to your MicroSD card or internal storage
3) Open root explorer or another file explorer with root acces
4) Copy dlpkgfile to /cache folder and the file command to /cache/recovery
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.
9) In recovery flash Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed and reboot into the system
10) Install Supersu from Google Play
11) Open up Supersu, it will ask you to update the binary, choose yes.
12) Now your tablet should be rooted

== Part 5 - Speed up the tablet ==
Tweaks will come here12First off I want to say awesome job to the OP for compiling this information, it works well....if you are paying attention. Is it noob proof, in theory yes but, there are a few gotchas if you are not paying attention or do not understand what is being asked of you via the instructions.
First and foremost, when you download US 9.4.3.30 from the Asus support site, make sure to download the US VERSION! I downloaded the JP variant and it failed at 25% everytime. Asus is not a US company, and therefore the US version may or may not be listed first with their products. A lot of us (me included) will download the first piece of software we see and expect it to be the correct variant. IF you accidentally installed another firmware variant do not worry.....simply make sure you root the device (using the instructions from this thread) reinstall TWRP from Goo Mananger (found in the playstore), then follow part 1 again. From experience I know it works fine.
Second, when you get to Part 2 and you copy the command file and the dlpkgfile you have to do more then simply reboot the device. So, copy the files to the correct places, turn off the TF300T, then hold power + down volume to start recovery, once the recovery message appears below the Device unlocked status message, press up volume to enter recovery. Now it runs the command script and will install the update.
Lastly, running adb in the command prompt (aka DOS prompt) can require you to run it as admin. So copy the fastboot files+JB recovery to something like C:\Recovery (do this by creating a folder within the C: drive, something easy to change to through the command prompt, then go to the accessories folder, right click command prompt, left click "run as administrator", then type cd\, then cd\Recovery, or change directory to wherever you copied the files to.
Everything else is fairly easy to follow. Im not a noob to this stuff, but Im not a veteran programmer either. Hope this helps!4
