[Transformer TF300T General] ganggreen777:
I want to say this---------I am at the part where my tablet says "starting download fastboot protocol"

what do I do now???

I want to do it carefully and correct....my drivers are good (my tablet line up with the pc) like there are no exclamation points anywhere...as stated in the directions as if there is none ...im good....

so what now???

should I flash the TWRP is ask that bc soo many people are having a difficult time with CWM......

This is my first root with a tablet but not a first root-----I have done it many times with phones....this I want to becareful with bc there basically is no tool YET that will unbrick it.....or there isnt a tool YET that is a root-tool like we have for the gnex and many others out there...saying that I want to be correct

Like for instance I have no idea if I can do that..what it says I pasted down below-----.cause I'm not sure if I am doing it correctly-what it says and what I THINK it says are two different things sometimes-and I'm a pretty intellegent person::

The OP says this: and that is where I have stopped......

Now that we have your tablet and computer set up nicely, we can finally install ClockworkMod (CWM) Recovery. Go to THIS thread and download the attachment called "recovery-jb.img" (thanks XpLoDWilD!). It is VERY important that you download "recovery-jb.img" as this is the version for users with Jelly Bean bootloader!

Rename the file you just downloaded to "recovery.img" and place it in \android-sdk\platform-tools . In Windows 7, open the Start Menu and search for "cmd". You should see a result called "cmd.exe". Right click that result and click "Run as Administrator". Now type the following commands into the new command prompt window in order to flash CWM Recovery:

Code:

cd C:\tools\android-sdk\platform-tools\

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img

DON'T unplug your tablet!! Don't close the window either! Wait for the command prompt to finish what it's doing, then you can type the final command:

Code:

fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

Your tablet will reboot. Once it has fully rebooted, shut it down and hold volume down and power again to access our tablet's hidden menu. This time, instead of selecting the USB icon, select "RCK" and press volume up. If I'm not mistaken, "RCK" stands for "ReCovery Kernel". ClockworkMod Recovery should load up. If it doesn't, then you were not successful in flashing CWM. If it does, then you can go to the Backup and Restore menu and create a backup.

I was overconfident when I went through all this, and I didn't make a backup-- for me, I wasn't able to get my SD card detected (64GB fat32), but even in this case you should be able to make a backup to your "Internal SD card". Unfortunately, you are on your own for this step. Make sure that you transfer this backup to your PC after creating it. You may need to disable Developer options in your TF300T's settings before you can transfer files over again.

In THIS post, XpLoDWilD gives instructions on how to Root your tablet. If I'm not mistaken, this applies to users who are using a ROM that does not already have root. If you care about Root right now, you can go ahead and flash his attached .zip file using CWM to your TF300T.

When I did this, I selected the .zip file with CWM and then went back to the main menu to select reboot. CWM then prompted me that it needed to fix permissions in order to keep Root. I tried it both ways-- first I let it fix permissions, then used a Play store app to check for root. Test came up negative, so I tried again without allowing it to fix permissions. Negative again. I tried again, allowing it to fix permissions again and then left it alone. If you are successful in rooting your TF300T, you can use Titanium Backup to backup your device later. However I used an app that did not require root that worked fine. The choice is yours
