Just got back my tf101 from the new service center. The info from the about tablet ..
Model : Transformer TF101
Version : 3.2
GPS : 1.5.0
Wi-Fi : 5.2.53
BTooth : 6.19
Kernel : 2.6.36.3-00001-g717a0f0
[email protected] #1
Build : HTJ85B.TW_epad-8.6.5.7-20110730
MDock : EP-101-0213
Is this the latest firmware? From some sites, the firmware is 8.6.5.9 OTA update shows no new version.
Is this version bootlock? I tried but cannot. Stuck at the green android screen.
Any comments?
To know if you're tab is bootlock, you have to check your S/N near the connector on your tab.
If it start by B70K, you may have the SBK V1 but you can have the V2 aswell(bootlocked) But if it start by B80K, you have the V2 and your bootloader is locked.

My serial serial starts with a B40K... Initially, I can root the device. After returning back from service center as I've some booting problem, I just cannot go into recovery mode.
If they overwrote the os, cwm would have been taken out.
you probably need to reroot, and install cwm again.

Just like when you rooted originally, you'll have to root first than install cwm.
Just use NVFlsh

Ok, so i tried razorclaw and installed the Revolver custom rom on my tablet. Only to realize the difference was not worth it. I kind of want to return to stock right now, but i am unsure how to do it?
I've seen several "return to stock" threads, but most of them warn about doing it on a B70 device.
So, now what?
Is it possible to just download the latest FW from the asus site, put it on the tablet and start into the recovery?
I have Clockwork recovery and latest revolver on the tablet at the moment.

Try this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341533 may have clues to other threads.
Also...next time remember to Backup your current ROM before flashing a new one...just in case you don't like the changes...you can easily restore your previous.

First thing you should do is run SBK detect to see if you have SBK v1 or SBK v2.
If you have SBK v1 you can use NVFlash to go back to stock.
SBK v2 you can NOT use NVFlash.
Reasoning behind the warning is if you get soft brick you can not use NVFLash if you have SBK v2.

So, catolh, this returned your b70 to stock then? Could you descibe exactly what you did. I have looked at the site and done a lot of research on it, but still seem to read mixed results.

Basically i used a repacked fw, so i could flash it through cwm, boot up to welcome screen, reboot to cwm again, and flash the repacked asus recovery. From there it was like a stock transformer

I have a tf300 with jellybean firmware JRO03C.US_epad-10.4.2.9-20120809 and the bootloader is unlocked.
I can charge my tablet, but any computer i try, it cannot connect to the computer.
Is there any way I can root it? Thanks for the help!

You can install TRWP 2.2.2.0 with Terminal Emulator apk
If you can push the blob files on your internal SDcard, after you can just follow the process TWRP 2.2 - Asus Transformer TF300T(G) page
but for rooted your TF, you will need one computer...
If you get the recovery working. I would assume you could flash a new rom stock or custom thats rooted already

[TWRP&CWM/Install JB OTA from custom recovery] Jelly Bean OTA for Unlocked Devices
Hi guys,as you may know,if you unlocked your bootloader you won't be able to receive OTA's anymore so you have to wait for Asus to upload the firmware on their site.Or even better you can use your custom recovery to flash a modified OTA pack wich will update your device just fine.
Warning:
** I'm NOT responsible for any damage caused to your device by using these files so use them on your OWN risk.
** This update will also flash the Jelly Bean bootloader so if you are still on .26 bootloader and you didn't used the NvFlash tool yet,well,it's time to do it because after installing this update there's NO WAY to go back,yet.
** You Custom Recovery will be replaced by the Stock Recovery (You can install this CWM Recovery after installing JB)
** I only tested with TWRP but it should work with CWM recovery too
** Verify your MD5 checsum after download
Requirements
* Your device must be unlocked and rooted
* You need to be on STOCK 9.4.5.30 ROM with no modifications to system files (build.prop,etc) (no need to do the Factory Reset)
* Use OTA RootKeeper before installing this update if you want to keep ROOT
Installation
1) Download the file for your specific SKU
2) Move the downloaded file on your internal or external storage
3) Boot your device in Recovery
4) Install the update / That's it,wait for the install proccess to finish
NOTE: If you are getting errors and you are using CWM recovery try renaming the file (i.e TF700T WW_10.4.4.16-20120927 OTA.zip - - > TF700T_ WW_10.4.4.16-20120927.zip)
Download Links
WW_SKU --- > TF700T WW_10.4.4.16-20120927 OTA.zip ----- MD5 checksum: 9d4e1e91a08254256357eb2870d2df7d
US_SKU --- > TF700T US_10.4.4.16-20120927 OTA.zip ----- MD5 checksum: 4131cab5458153856185c43e05b67ebe
great! just what i was waiting for...links works, started download. i will let you know how it goes. first i need to apply root and install custom recovery again... thanks!

May I ask why we need to be on stock prior to flashing?

i think because this is not a complete rom. Its an update package. So if you gonna flash an official update over a custum rom your asking for trouble

Because the update will fail to install if some system files are missing or beeing modified.Please don't try this on custom firmware,but if you do,just don't complain about it in case is failing or even worse.

Asus OTA updates aren't a complete replacement. Instead the update performs a patch to your existing files. A non-stock or non .30 version may cause a failure during the update process.
Truthfully if you're running an unlocked device you should wait for a ROM developer to make a new ROM and use that to update instead of trying to flash the Asus official update. It should only be 24 to 72 hours and a ROM won't do things like remove root or replace your custom recovery with the stock recovery.
Works 100% with CWM recovery!
Thanks a lot My friend!
I can also confirm, this method works! I`m on jelly bean now

Quoted for fiction
It's fine to flash if you are on stock .30. Replacing the recovery costs about 30 seconds, and replacing root on an unlocked device takes about 30 seconds as well. Then you can evaluate an Asus jb yourself before seeing a custom jb.

I am having problems flashing Clean Inheritance Rom 4.1 and I believe my TWRP 2.4.4.0 may be the problem because it seems corrupted.
I followed the instructions on this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982
So far I have been able to flash the patched twrp 2.4.4.0 and install the Asus stock 4.2.1 but every time I try to flash CROM 4.1 twrp will initiate updating partition and then it will just restart w/o warning to its home screen. I think that my twrp may be corrupted but i have used fastboot to repush the twrp multiple times and the asus stock 4.2.1 multiple times but this is not solving my issue. I see that fastboot has a erase command and wanted to know if i would use that to erase the recovery img completely and then try flashing twrp again to see if this resolves the issue or will the erase command brick my device? Also do I need to have my stock kernel for the CROM 4.1 to work? I am attaching screenshot of my tablet info, please let me know if more info is needed or if i need to upload a video of what is going on thanks.
have you redownloaded twrp mate it might have been a dodgy download or maybe a bad download of cromi, or you could try installing cromi 4.0 first

Update! bump please help someone
I am still having issues installing clean rom 4.1 but I noticed that if I keep selecting to flash the CROM 4.1 or 4.0 rom it will eventually initiate and let me choose the options and actually start flashing but once it says it is complete and i reboot it does not boot CROM just gets stuck at the asus boot screen. Then i must use fastboot to flash the stock android 4.2.1 to get the thing up and running and then twrp pretty much breaks after i use fastboot to flash teh android 4.2.1 blob file so I have to reflash the patched 2.4.4.0 again. I really do think the problem is with twrp because ever since this new 2.4.4.0 update i have been having issues i remember before twrp was a great utility but now it seems like it is a nightmare is there a way from me to try flashing crom 4.1 with clockwork mod yet?

I was able to flash SuperSU as well
I was able to flash SuperSU and it was confirmed rooted with root checker. I still don't know why CleanROM will not work I have downloaded the ROM multiple times but it just refuses to flash is there something else I need to check in order to flash the rom or is TWRP partially broken where it can only flash very small simple files but not a complete custom rom?
I just downloaded the energy rom and tried to flash it do my device and ended up having the same issue. It says the rom has been flashed and completes but after reboot it is just stuck on Asus bootscreen and never boots into the OS. What the hell is going on
I think my bootloader is somehow screwed up because it can't boot any custom roms it can only boot the asus stock 4.2.1 when i flash the blob file using fastboot. Did i miss a step or something to allow the bootloader to boot custom roms

Just recently got the TF700 and have got to do something about the performance. Looking at the threads it seems running a custom ROM+Kernel is the only way to make this thing perform better.
In going through the how-to threads, I think I did things in the wrong order.
I used the ASUS Unlocking tool to unlock the device, but didn't downgrade it first to JB 4.1.1 so I can root it using the motochomper(?).
Any thoughts on how I can proceed to root the device and install TWRP next?
Thanks!

Just use motochopper to root (This tool worked on all JB version) then download Goomanager from the market and install TWRP. Once done use twrp to flash cromi-X rom.

Much thanks! I now have my device rooted and unlocked. In a previous post you had mentioned to flash cromi-x custom rom after root/unlock. I read about the 2 different flavours it offers...ODEX and DEODEX and I'm aware of the differences. Is there a favorite choice between the 2? Also, you mention to use TWRP to flash cromi-x, but can I not also use GooManager to flash as well?
Thanks.

I would use TWRP to flash, I preferred ODEX (smoother, snappier reported by most ppl). Download "rebooter" app from the market (red circle logo), then open it and select boot into recovery, it should boot you directly into twrp, then select install, then browse to cromi-X zip file and execute it.
Sorry to hijack the thread but im having similar issues, everytime i do a OTA update my tablet resets root and i have the VOODOO rootkeeper app but it does not work.
Ever since the new update ive been trying to get root back but my DEVELOPER Options IN settings have dissapeared and i dont know how to get it back to enable debbuging to get the fastboot going can anyone help?

With the new bootloader you don't have the usb icon as you will be in fastboot mode as soon as you enter bootloader.

Fastboot for JB 4.2.1 is volume down and power button, you should see 3 icons and read the text, it should say fastboot mode enabled.
edit- volume up and power buttons is APX mode (black screen).
