Hello,
my tablet has a unlocked bootloader and was on 4.0.3 stock rooted when i did this and thought i would share how i did it, its really fast and easy.
Disclaimer: i am in no way responsible for a bricked or damaged devices, world endings, zombie attacks from using this guide. use at your own risk
Requirements: rooted with a custom recovery and unlocked bootloader. (i used CWM) a tf300t tablet
Recommended: doing the file transfers from pc to device as you go along
Step 1: get all the files you need download
****Version V9.4.3.30 make sure us download the file for US SKU
http://usa.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/#download
****Version V10.4.2.9 make sure to download the version for US SKU
http://usa.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/#download
Step 2: get the first file ready by unzipping (US_epaduser9_4_3_30UpdateLauncher) so it extracts a zip file called (US_epad-user-9.4.3.30)
-place (US_epad-user-9.4.3.30) on the internal storage of your device.
Step 3: boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache
-then flash the file US_epad-user-9.4.3.30.zip in recovery
-reboot device
Step 4: one device is rebooted and past the set up screen delete US_epad-user-9.4.3.30.zip off your internal storage (DO NOT INSTALL A CUSTOM RECOVERY AT THIS POINT)
Step 5 getting jelly bean ready: unzip (US_epaduser_10_4_2_9_UpdateLauncher) so it extracts a file called (US_epad-user-10.4.2.9)
- at that point a triangle with a exclamation point in the middle should appear saying system update file detected
(that same icon and message might pop up while the (US_epad-user-9.4.3.30) is on the internal storage ignore it then, this is why we delete said file before we put the (US_epad-user-10.4.2.9) file on the device)
Step 6: click on the triangle icon on your device and accept the update, your device will reboot and install jelly bean (should take 10 to 15 minutes be patient)
---Once the device reboots it will upgrade and you will be on jelly bean yay
To obtain root follow part 3 of this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845377) i will put the intructions here below for those to lazy to click the link
all thanks for rooting instructions go to krabappel2548 thanks man.
rooting and custom recovery
files needed for this process
fastboot and recovery http://www.mediafire.com/?1u44b0w3k1qoy4r
root files: http://www.mediafire.com/?cr209hb5e2fr910
== 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
hope this helps everyone

Asus released the new Android 4.2 to our beloved devices and you may be wondering how can you update if you are unlocked and how can you root it.
Note: this guide was updated with the 2.5.0.0 TWRP. For this to work properly, you will need to use the last 10.6.1.27.1 version of the tablet, or a newer one. If you are already on a previous 4.2.1 version, please update to the new one using this same guide. If you flash this recovery with the older versions of the 4.2.1 bootloaders, you will end up with a double screen! New TWRP versions won't be able to mount boot and recovery, and won't work with all SD cards, not to talk about backup issues!
Things you should know before you start:
- I marked each title of this guide with [LOCKED BL], [UNLOCKED BL] and [BOTH BL] to specify witch ones will work with locked/unlocked or both bootloaders, respectively.
- Please verify if you have the correct drivers for the tablet installed on your computer. Windows 7/8 should install these automatically.
- The new 4.2 updates the bootloader, removing the USB icon that used to appear there and allowed you to enter fastboot. It's OK, you will be able to use it right from the bootloader menu, without selecting any option at all.
- Do this at your own risk! I'm not responsible if you break your tablet!
- Don't forget to make BACKUPS!
- If you are already on 4.2, then you can skip to the Recovery and Root parts of this guide
-- Installing / Updating to 4.2.1 --
There are three methods you can use to update your tablet to the latest Android stock version. All of them will require you to download the
firmware file located at Asus website. You can download them from here. Select Android as the OS, firmware and choose the right firmware for you SKU. You can find your SKU by following the instructions on the website itself. Don't forget to unpack the zip file you downloaded: there's another inside!
[BOTH BL] Method 1: Updating directly from stock ROM
Notes:
You must have a stock ROM installed
You need to put the update file on an SD card
You will keep all your data
I do not recommend this method: sometimes it ends up on a brick
If your tablet is stock, or have some custom ROM based on stock installed, you can directly update the tablet by simply inserting a SD Card with the firmware file inside. Android will prompt you with a notification asking if you want to update. Touch it and wait until the update is done
[UNLOCKED BL] Method 2: Update using fastboot
Notes:
You will keep all your data
This is the best method to update your tablet if you want to keep all your data, and the safest one
Ensure you have the correct drivers for the tablet installed on your computer, or you will have a "waiting for device" error
To update using fastboot, follow this steps:
If you don't have fastboot yet, download it from here an unpack it somewhere on your computer
Extract the Asus firmware file and put the blob file inside fastboot folder
Open a command line on fastboot folder (write "cmd" on Windows search bar at the Start menu, and then
Code:
cd "FOLDER WHERE YOU EXTRACTED FASTBOOT"
, or you can just use SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK on the folder and select "Open command line window here" or something like that)
Reboot the tablet holding the volume down key until you see some icons. Use the volume down key to select the USB icon and then volume up to select it
Connect the tablet to the computer if you didn't do so
Write
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob
, hit enter and wait until it completes
Hold the power button for 10 seconds to reboot the tablet
You are now updated to Android 4.2
[UNLOCKED BL] Method 3: Update using TWRP recovery
Notes:
You must have TWRP installed
You need to put the update file on an SD card
This was the method I used since I wanted to prevent any bugs due to old data and to ensure the new partitions from 4.2 would be OK
You will keep your data as long as you don't wipe Data and Factory reset (including internal memory)
Follow the steps bellow if you want to update to 4.2.1 DELETING ALL YOUR DATA , STARTING FROM SCRATCH!
Insert the SD card with the update file on the tablet
Reboot to recovery
Wipe Cache, Dalvik and System. Wipe Data if you want a fresh start on your tablet, but remember, THIS WILL WIPE ALL YOUR DATA AND INTERNAL MEMORY!!. You can also do a Factory Reset instead of data wipe if you want to remove all your android configurations/apps keeping your internal storage.
Install the Asus Firmware
Reboot (ignore the "no OS installed message) and let it finish
You have now the latest Android 4.2.1
[UNLOCKED BL]-- Installing TWRP (Recovery) --
Since this new update brings a new bootloader, older recovery versions from 4.1 won't work at all. Don't try to flash one!
This guide will give you a recovery that works just fine on the new bootloader. And yes, it can read/write to an external SD just fine. Follow this steps to install the new recovery on your device:
Connect the tablet to the computer
Reboot the tablet using the proper button on the power menu, holding Volume down until you see three icons (RCK, Android and Wipe Data)
Download this file and unpack it (it contains fastboot and the TWRP 2.5.0.0 which works with the new bootloader)
Open a command line on the extracted folder (you can use the instructions I wrote in Method 2 if you don't know how to do this) and type
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob
Wait for the script to complete. Once it is done, reboot the tablet by holding volume down and power button for 10 seconds. Don't enter recovery directly!
You have now the new recovery for Android 4.2 .
[BOTH BL] -- Rooting --
Note: If you are willing to install a custom ROM like CROMI you don't need this. Custom ROMs have root by default.
Rooting the tablet once you have a recovery is pretty easy. Here's how you can do it:
- Unlocked devices
Download SuperSu zip file from here (choose the flashable version) ]and place it on a SD card or inside the root of your tablet's internal memory
Reboot the tablet holding vol down, and when the three icons appear, hit volume up to enter recovery
When the recovery prompts you a password, hit cancel (this is a bug from the current version of TWRP, and it should be fixed soon. It is ok to ignore it!)
Flash the zip you just downloaded
Wipe Dalvik/Cache (just in case)
Reboot
You are now rooted!
- Locked devices
If you have your bootloader locked you can root Android 4.1/4.2 by using the method discovered by Morlok8k, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228613 (note that this isn't tested yet for the latest 10.6.1.27.5 firmware!)
[UNLOCKED BL] -- Downgrading to 4.1 or other firmware --
I was going to write a downgrade method but it seems that there is a good one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195883
Again, do it at your own risk.
[LOCKED BL] -- Recovering your tablet from scratch --
If you are on a stock locked device and somehow got a bootloop and you can't do anything with your tablet you follow this steps to completely restore your tablet. Note that all data will be lost.
Pretoriano80 said:
========= Recover /Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore with stock recovery =========
1) Download the latest firmware from Asus website
2) Extract the .zip file somewere on your desktop (the result will be another .zip file,use it for step 3)
3) Rename the extracted archive to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.ZIP" (without the " ") and upload it to a MicroSD card
4) Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use this button combination to Power ON and go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume Down and POWER togheter for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume UP before the 5 seconds expire.
At this point the device will go in recovery and should start updating your firmware .
Note: Keep in mind that Windows doesn't show the known file extensions so most users don't have to put the .ZIP extension in the filename.

This tutorial is made of things I gathered on the forums: I do not own anything! Hit thanks if I helped you :angel: I will keep it updated once new things come out
A special thanks to elesbb for the fastboot methods
This is great. Just one question for clarification: Users have reported not being able to see their External microSD's in TWRP. Is this still the case, or did the patch to TWRP alleviate this issue?
would i need to unlock the bootloader to do this?

So I've read, upgrading does not relock you, so you shouldn't need to. For those that are locked and upgrade to 4.2.1 there is a new unlock tool to do it.

Verified that this works for me. If you read ahead and placed the SuperSu zip on your SD card BEFOREhand, you can even skip one of the reboots.
WARNING
Your instructions are wrong... You cannot flash the update using custom recovery, it will result in a brick..
Already happened with me!!! I've followed your tutorial blindly and had to sweat a bit to recover my tablet.
Change it ASAP.
Best solution to unbrick/flash is to go into fastboot and use
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system "name of the update"

Hey guys! Asus released the new Android 4.2 to our beloved devices and now we are able to root it using a few steps.
Notes:
- You must be unlocked

- If you have 4.2 and want to unlock it, remember to check Asus website to download the new unlock tool available for 4.2 devices
- Please verify if you have the correct drivers for the tablet installed on your computer
Lets get started!
Connect the tablet to the computer
Reboot the tablet using the proper button on the power menu, holding Volume down until you see three icons (RCK, Android and Wipe Data)
Download this file and unpack it (it contains fastboot and a patched version of TWRP 2.4.4.0)
Open a command line on the extracted folder and type fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob
Wait for the script to complete. Once it is done, reboot the tablet by holding volume down and power button for 10 seconds. Don't enter recovery directly!
Once the tablet boots up, download SuperSu zip file from here and place it on the root of your tablet's internal memory
Reboot the tablet again holding vol down, and when the three icons appear, hit volume up to enter recovery
When the recovery prompts you a password, hit cancel
Flash the zip you just downloaded
Wipe Dalvik/Cache (just in case)
Reboot
Aaaaand... Congratulations, you have now a rooted stock Android 4.2.1 !!

YOU CAN FLASH UPDATE FILE FROM ASUS WEBSITE WITH TWRP AND THERE IS NOT BRICK IN HERE
******
here is what i just did to update my tab to 4.2.1
-was running cleanrom 3.4.4 with twrp 2.2.2.0
-downloaded twrp 2.4.4.0 and flashed it with fastboot
-download 4.2.1 update file from asus website=> unzip this file to get the real file ( apparently, asus just put the rom.zip file into a folder, then zip this folder again, kind a stupid here ^^)=> put it in my external micro sdcard
- boot into recovery=> flash the updated rom.

It wouldn't flash for me either. I used your method of flashing the blob, then followed the OP's directions for flashing TWRP using the fastboot/TWRP files he provided.
Re: [Tutorial] Rooting and installing a recovery on Android 4.2.1 (10.6.1.8+)
What i have done
I download the firmware from asus and renamed to xx_epad-user-10.6.1.8.zip
XX is the ww or US you must rename this in the directory what you extract
Example WW_epad-user-10.6.1.8.zip
US_epad-user-10.6.1.8.zip
Then put it in the root of your sd card or on your root on the tablet
Then you can update
And you can root follow this forum.
I am on 4.2.1 and rooted
Thank for all who have this made it

I did flash my asus with the zip from asus web page with no issues, I used TWRP 2.4.3
I un-zipped the file (just one time and without change the name) and I placed the next zip file to my SD card root folder, then I made a full wipe and intall the zip file from SD card.
Right now my asus belong to my wife, my youngest son and I because I can create users.
I made a backup of my apps with the asus aplication and I could reinstall all them after the update.

Good to go for me. TWRP recovery and rooted. Nice write up man.
You might add in there something about the new bootloader booting directly to fastboot now, no need to select the usb icon. Also maybe mention to make sure that the drivers get installed properly once you are in fastboot. When I booted to fastboot it had to install some drivers, so I waited for those to finish before I ran the fastboot command.
Installed TB and about to uninstall some bloat. Can't wait for roms to get updated.
Thanks again man.

Thanks.. It's been ages since I used I last used adb commands and flashed something. I couldn't figure out how to boot into recovery.

EDIT: [If you are still running the stock Recovery] You can also use:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
When you see the horizontal robot hold the Volume Up key for 3 seconds and then tap Power and the Recovery Menu will display.
Thanx for this how-to. Everyone has been getting confused in root process for 5.1 although it is nearly same as 4.4.4.

I had the same issue with my XT1053. Following your advice did the trick. Not being able to modify my dpi since upgrading has been killing me. Its the only thing i really want root for. Thanks for everything both you and op!

Ahh... 2.8.7 wasn't out when I tried.. 2.8.6 was the latest at that time. Maybe there is a bug in 2.8.7 that will get fixed in future versions?
Sunshine unlocked bootloader
Does anyone know if there are any issues resulting from a Sunshine unlocked bootloader? I saw one post that had a warning but it was a warning because there was no information at the time. Has this change?
i installed TWRP successful, but after normal reset, TWRP is gone, it's only stock recovery (Android down image). Please help me. My phone is running 5.1 update OTA, unlocked bootloader

When you say "installed TWRP successful"... do you mean that fastboot didn't error? or that fastboot completed the install, you did a mfastboot reboot-bootloader, and tried entering TWRP but it still gave you the "dead android" image?
Is there any unofficial way to unlock bootloader?

I can't get it to work on a friend's Moto X... I flash using mfastboot and upon rebooting, it goes into battery charging mode.
If I fully boot into Android, then reboot to recovery, I still get the "dead Android on his back" recovery. What's going on?!

Sunshine... IF you're phone has never been upgraded to 4.4.4.
BUT if you can get unlock code from Moto, while it can void your warranty (depending on your local laws), that is FREE, and the best way.

help me understand your situation...
You are doing.. Mfastboot flash recovery -> mfastboot reboot-bootloader -> you get battery charging screen rather than fasboot/bootloader menu/screen?
or ??

Any tuto for flyme to UTouch...?

sieload or update
Thanks for the tutorial.
Everything worked fine on EU MX4 Ubuntu ed, except for last step of sideloading supersu. Adbd does not recognize device.
I wonder if it is possible to rename supersu.zip to update.zip and then run it as an recovery update instead?

> If your phone runs Android 8 or later with latest security patch - then this service won't work!
I have the latest security patch(March 1, 2019), I've been searching for the past 3 days for a working method to root my mate 10 lite, found nothing.
Huawei stopped providing oem unlock codes, All the services that provided unlock codes for money are now obsolete too.
I'm trying to find a way to root this phone on my own, but I'm not sure where to go from here.
I've read this book today "XDA Developers' Android Hacker's Toolkit", but it teaches how to use rooting methods that are already out there and not how to create your own way to root a device.
Can you provide guidance on where to go from here to learn how to find vulnerabilities in android?

Sorry, I misread. xD
Well, you can either flash TWRP for Oreo. Not sure which is "best" though, take one with decryption support if available for RNE on Oreo. Then you flash Magisk zip in twrp.
Or you can take your stock ramdisk and patch it in Magisk Manager, then flash the patched ramdisk from fastboot.
I would provably go with TWRP and Magisk zip though, as you would need a stock ramdisk from an update.app of your build. So saves some downloading
Basically flash TWRP using fastboot: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
Reboot to recovery which will end up in TWRP. Flash latest Magisk using the Install button in twrp.

I can't find any TWRP with decryption. This one might work, it's from the MorfuZ thread: https://mega.nz/#!uD4FlCqL!ERBzP4ZWa2sR8f_wnn15F_cOFCdYVKgfYETjiehQkkQ
So it may or may not have working decryption. But if you have an external SD it doesn't really matter as you'd only transfer magisk to that.
Magisk from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
Download latest stable.
Flash twrp using fastboot.
Reboot to recovery.
Transfer magisk zip to external SD.
Flash Magisk zip using the Install button
You will probably have to browse to /external_sd manually as it will default to /sdcard in the install browser.
If it fails to install using TWRP:
Open terminal in TWRP from the Advanced button then enter this command:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/ramdisk of=/external_sd/ramdisk.img
This will dump your stock ramdisk to external sd, which you then can patch in Magisk Manager and flash the output file to 'ramdisk' using fastboot. You will have to install Magisk Manager apk first though, it can be found in the Magisk thread.

- copy to SD card TWRP-oreo-smart.img
- in main TWRP menu tap Install image, then navigate

eRecovery_ramdisk and confirm Flash . System
reboot.
- Download and copy to the Minimal ADB and fastboot folder RECOVERY_RAMDISK330.img
https://mega.nz/#!I511VK4b!9cGodiCORHOvXndOCHyqcezpHmUk2zeTslqpbZe8pk4
Connect your phone to PC in fastboot mode and install recovery_ramdisk using command
- fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY_RAMDISK330.img
- fastboot reboot
How to boot into TWRP: reboot your phone and press Volume Up key up to 3 seconds to enter TWRP.

Okay, one can install Magisk without TWRP. There are plenty of guides on how to do these things in the Mate 10 forums. Of course, TWRP makes things easier ....
