Want to go to JB but on ICS with custom Rom/Recovery

With all the new JB roms and custom kernels based of the JB OTA I want to give them a shot. I'm confused on what I need to do since I'm rooted with unlocked bootloader on ICS but running the Black Bean JB Rom. I read Ok need to go up date to JB bootloader and then flash custom JB recovery. Can someone point me in the right direction please.
Thanks!

It's really simple.
Download your asus jb firmware from their site.
Run voodoo ota keeper to keep root for later
Unzip it and flash the zip extracted in your custom recovery as you would with any custom Rom
Reboot
Install custom recovery again via fast boot or re-enable root from voodoonand use goo manager to install your recovery
There is also a flashable version of super user you can use to get root back as well.

[Q] manual update firmware froj asus website and lot recovery e root

When I find out I wont receive any updte if my bootloader is unlocked I manual update the firmaware of my tablet. I was very dissapoint when I find out I had no more root permission and also the TWRP recovery seems to be gone. Now the problem is all the bloatware from asus come back and there is no way to remove (only using link to sd but it need root permisison).
Is there any way to root back my tablet? Assume I'm little be more than a noob!
Thanks in advance

When you say manually update, i'm guessing you updated to 10.4.2.20 so if you need help rooting you can always look to the link below for help.

You have one app which is named OTA ROOTKEEPER. (This application makes a backup or a protected backup of your device's root. Your device must already be rooted: OTA RootKeeper doesn't have the ability to root devices.
If you are just rooted but always locked, with this app you can backup and restore your root.
And use this for root : [ROOT/ROM] Root Stock/Deodex Firmware 10.4.2.20 (US/WW) | Insecure kernel !

[Q] Just to be sure

Hello all,
I consider to install a custum roms on my TF700T, running Android 4.2.1, Build number JOP40D.ww_epad-10.6.1.14.10-2013081
I already know that I have to take the following steps:
1. Unlock by using the ASUS unlock tool
2. Root
3. Install TWRP recovery
4. Select a Custom ROM
After a lot of googling and searching on this forum I am still not sure how to root the tablet with this build number. Can someone help me out? Any other tips are welcome as well of course!
Thanks in advance!

You currently can't root 10.6.1.14.10 without a custom recovery. But you can install TWRP via fastboot on an unlocked unrooted tablet, then simply install a rooted custom ROM from TWRP.

[SOLVED] Upgrade CWM?

Hi!
I have CWM 6.0.3.1, and I want to upgrade it to the last one, 6.0.4.8.
Actually I have unlocked phone, with S-oFF and HBOOT 2.15.00.
I have read a lot of guide and I installed RomManager from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager, and a file called recovery-clockwork-touch.img.
I've installed the APK, and it says I can upgrade my CMW. But when I do it, it's going to upgrade the normal version, and if I try to set on touch version it ask me to buy it.
But I've already downloaded it. How can I install this .img file?
Do I have to install the .img file from the old version of CWM?
There's no guide on CWM website... :-/

Solved.
I've installed Flashify... a couple of tap and my CWM is updated!

[Q] Update to Lollipop without USB and with root

Hi, my N5 has a problem, it has the USB port broken so i can't connect it to the PC. It now has KitKat 4.4.4.
Here is my problem:
I want to update to Lollipop but i can't do it with Factory image and/or Sideload because the USB problem.
I tried to "unroot" but i couldn't do it right, i've downloaded the 5.0 OTA and my phone rebooted with a red triangle and it said "error" i know this is because i still keep my phone rooted.
So i would like to know 2 things:
1) How do i unroot definitely? because i did it before but it seems it didn't do right, i clicked "unroot" on SuperSU (i read that sometimes when you press "unroot" it doesn't erase all the folders and files so you have to do by your own, but what files and what folders are they?)
2) If i unroot and i if update to Lollipop, can i be root without using the USB port?

Of you're rooted, why would you want the stock ota anyway? There are PLENTY of 5.0 Roms in the development section with custom kernels (custom kernels are needed in 5.0 lollipop for root). Flash one of those in recovery. Make sure you have the latest TWRP which you can flash with flashify if you can't fastboot flash using USB.

Is really needed to flash a custom kernel to get root on Lollipop? I'm asking because in this thread [ROM] [STOCK] Android 5.0 LRX21O - Stock/Flashable (11/12/14) FAQ nº 2 it says:
Q: How do I get root?
A: If you want to keep the stock kernel, use CF-Auto-Root. If you flash a custom kernel, just flash the newest SuperSU ZIP afterwards.

So i understand that we can have root with stock kernel, is this ok or did i misunderstood something?
If i want to flash a custom kernel, where can i get "SuperSU" Zip to get root? and does it need to clean something after or before flashing this file? caché, data, etc?

Yes CF AUTO ROOT will allow your to root the stock image. However since youre already rooted youre running into issues flashing it successfully. I attached the SU zip below. My recomendation is if you want the stock ota image, download it from the developer thread, flash francos custim kernel for lollipop ans then flash the root zip i have attached below. I would complete a full wipe of system, data, and both caches (not internal storage or you will lose all on sd card) before flashing. Once you wipe just flash the the rom, kernel and root zip in that order.

Thanks!!!
It worked perfectly!
I tried first with CF AutoRoot but it failed, but it worked with SuperSU.
