Couldn't be simpler to Root this handset - install Framaroot from here and select the Gandalf exploit. Took a couple of goes to take for me and now Rooted!

Immediately after obtaining Root I was notified of a brand new firmware update for the Padfone Infinity, just wanted to let you know that OTA Rootkeeper from the Play Store will allow you to backup and then restore Root after applying the update. Oh, and the update isn't 4.2, in case you were wondering.

There is another user who has confirmed it works at XDA, so between he and I there is a 100% success rate!

Doubt it since OTA Rootkeeper appears to be working as I mentioned above.

I've never seen OTA's fail on any device because of root... And even if it would fail you can always install it manually...

Has anyone tested this method on their Padfone 1 on Android 4.1? The device is in the compatible devices list.

I have several times

I get a little click noise and the phone freezes for a few seconds then I get "Failed

... Try another exploit if available"

The Aragorn one instantly goes to failed.

Apparently I'm not the only one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42094798&postcount=363
