    1. The procedure works fine on ICS and JB. If you’ve either of these firmware, you can root it using the above guide.

      Thanks!

  1. Okay, after much searching and tweaking I finally was able to get CWMod Recovery (6.0.2.3) flashed onto my TF300T. I am able to boot into it but I get a whole list of error messages and it will not allow me to mount my Internal SD card. Thus I cannot access the root install zip files. I have Jelly Bean 4.2 latest build, and I installed the JB recovery image. Any suggestions?

  2. Your rooting package is infected with a virus. I got the CMW bootloader installed without a problem, but like the other poster’s, can’t get the system to mount the /sdcard.
