I rarely post here, but use the xda site quite often as most every answer can be found here somewhere... I received my asus tf300t 3 days ago, when i started up, a firmware update was waiting. I excepted it, not realizing I was upgrading to jb 4.1.1. Of course once done, its done, so i looked all over but seem to only find questions on obtaining root in this state so i thought i would share my success with it. I have unlocked the bootloader, flashed recovery, and obtained root. First, I used the bootloader unlocking app thru asus site (even tho it says only for ics, it still worked,, read that somewhere). Then i followed the section on root and recovery found in this thread...

After unlocking, flashed recovery thru fastboot, then flashed root thru recovery!

Hope this helps to let everyone know, new & previous owners, that it can be done pretty easily....or at least it was on mine.

Apologies if this is not posted in correct area as many post on this issue seem to be scattered throughout the tf300t forum
