I tried reloading the .30 firmware by putting the zip in root of internal storage. It updated as a downgrade but I was still on job when it was done, so not sure if you can with a locked boot loader.

Do you think it is worth jumping in now? I don't have specific expectation on JB except it is the latest from google.

Just depends on your taste. You might review other upgrade post stories first to be sure. Some are flawless, some not.

THelook and feel of JB is for the most part similiar to ICS.
Their are some differences you will notice:
Animations: Some new and smooth animations that are nice. Animationa arre a minor thing but add a nice touch.
Project butter: My tablet does seem to run smoother and I have yet to have a wait/close prompt pop up. Of course I may get some, but so far it seem to have improved in that dept.
Google Now & search: This is what I wanted most. I really like the voice search, it really fast with returning answers. I wish I did a few more thens like open apps and tell me my next apointment when asked, bt I'm sure that will come with future updates. Google Now is prety neat and I'm interesting in seeing how it starts to work once I have had it a while and it can develop some patterns and give me info based off what it believes is relavent for me.
This is just an initial impression is I just updated last night and haven't really got much day to day expierance with JB, but so far so good. So far I don't really see the down side. You gain a few things and don't really lose much. Unless you have a particular app that dosen't play well wih JB yet.
Can't wait to get jellybean but I'll wait patiently for it

You could learn in these forums to root, unlock and flash ROMs; giving you an open ticket to run whatever you want on ur tablet.

PS. My device is unlocked.
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can flash whatever ROM you want from the custom recovery you installed.

You can flash anything, doesn't mean you'll be successful. The current recoveries can't support this due to different boot and kernel mods. The guys are currently trying get a fix for those on OTA JB and all. I would say sit tight and wait for conformation that Twrp or cmw can backup and restore boot from diff firmwares. I tried this and got stuck at Asus logo and couldn't boot into os. But was able to get official JB back up. So now I'm stuck on JB for now.

I've taken a long, winding, occasionally interrupted road to rooting my Xoom 3G and by way of the "ROM Manager" app managed to get EOS 1.0 on there. It's clearly ICS and seems fairly stable, if not very stable. The problem with all of this is I never really felt like my brain was absorbing everything I was doing so I almost feel like I accidently rooted and flashed my Xoom, or watched myself do it. I'd like to flash more and better ROMs; I'd like to play around with different recoveries; I'd like to back my stuff up like a mature adult; I want to root my other devices; I want to do all these great things, but don't feel like I've really learned enough do anything. I don't even know if I could redo what I've already done without messing something up. Please, make me not dumb!
well first off always make a backup just incase.... but since youve got a custom rom installed , installing another rom is easy.
download the rom you want to flash boot into recovery , make a nandroid backup, then install the rom youve downloaded, id recommend eos's jb rom its awesome, pretty straight forward as youve done the hard part already,
other devices i cant comment as their all different for rooting and installing recovery etc, but once youve got recovery installed its same procedure for installing a rom, but always do plenty of reading and be sure what youre doing,

Thanks for the quick reply. More questions. What is nandroid and how do you back it up? Where do I find a complete list of Xoom ROMs (or at least the jb one you mentioned)? I always hear about CM -- have they done anything for Xoom? Do I need an sdcard anymore now that I'm rooted? What are some essential apps?

I can't seem to get the url to work, but even if I find it -- I have a US 3G Xoom -- will it work, or will I have to stick to ICS until I upgrade to 4G?
Links seem OK, but yea, they are EU versions.
On that related thread, please ask if that ROM will work on your US device although I believe it will.

I've learned from the TF101 ICS update - be careful what you wish for!!! For those that don't know, my (and others) TF101 has basically become very un-reliable since they introduced ICS.
While I truly *hope* we don't have such issues with the Jelly Bean upgrade, I certainly don't have a lot of confidence in Asus at this point.
I just hope that they don't rush it and test it properly before releasing it and forcing the upgrade on us (which is exactly what they did with the ICS update on the TF101).
I do know that my TF700 has some of the same ICS issues that the TF101 had (OpenGL out of memory errors, for example, which causes your launcher to go "blank")....

Great! Very exciting news to wake up to!
When Firmware actually starts dropping DON'T FORGET TO!!
*Side load your FLASH PLAYER. If you want flash. It will no longer show up in the Playstore any longer
*Revert back whatever modding/altering to system files just in case Rooters. Only if you want your OTAS to actually complete. Or if running a custom rom it wouldn't work anyways as you already know.
*Don't forget to backup your Root with Voodoo Ota Rootkeeper! You will definitely lose root if you don't
Time to obsessively check every 5 minutes for the update!!!

*sighs* I want all my devices to run Jellybean today, here is to hoping it will happen.
As I'd normally recommend rooting myself, I don't think it's necessary in this case. Why not just install .apk with Flash after allowing unknown sources? I believe it should suffice, although I don't know if it's any different with the JB system of permissions.
No need to root to install Flash on Jelly Bean. At least not on the Nexus 7.

I can confirm - my father just bought a Nexus 7 - I emailed the Flash app to him and he was able to install it and it worked without any rooting or anything.
He used Boat Browser (per my recommendation) - not sure about other browsers, but I assume it work with all expect for Chrome, of course...

To everyone who wants flash, the easy way is to place the apk somewhere on Dropbox/Google Drive/Physical medium and install it from there, also since this week Adobe Flash Player is not available in the Play Store. http://www.pcworld.com/article/260901/android_flash_player_rip_how_to_get_it_now_that_its_gone.html

Everyone remember to backup the files created by titanium backup themselves to a removable SD card or your PC.
As for JB, I am not sure we can expect it for the TF700 right away ... the TF300 is so similar to the nexus 7, I'm sure they only slightly modified their nexus 7 kernel.
Is it just me or does anyone else thinks it's wrong that Asus updated their cheap tablet before their flagship?

No, the tf300 probably just happened to be ready first. It would silly to make all of the tf300 wait a few days just because the tf700 wants it first lol

They might eventually make the partitions work, and you could potentially recover data from your backups if you needed to, but basically yes. I'm saving mine 'just in case', but honestly I already think they're wasting space

hi all,
my device is tf300t (US) 32giga ,rooted and has twrp with all backup !
like i wrote on the topic the 4.2.1 make me crazy is acting like a old pc.
everything is moving "slow" even the power button is take few second to reacte !
i remember the short time i was on 4.1 it was just fine !
so i want make a test a go back to 4.1 and check, i already backup all the content on tablet with twrp on my sd card.
so what do you think ?
btw i test the launcher 4.2.1 and 4.1 and is still the same problems !
maybe in the future i will buy the famous dock, and here my question: it is important that the dock is US ? if i buy Europe or else ? what do you think ?
my tablet is running fine on 4.2.1 maybe you should do a factory reset??

*** This will be a one time build and post before nightlies start, so you can enjoy 10.2 for a bit until it goes live. ***
1. Make sure you are on the ASUS 4.2 bootloader
2. Make sure you are using TWRP 2.5 or greater or CWM 6.0.3.x
3. Download the ROM here md5: dfae3ea0caac535f15cdb2daea82c585
4. Download the 4.3 gapps here md5: c34cc1d0d8f7209feed07a6af308405e
5. Make a backup before proceeding, you are heading into experimental territory.
5. Install CM, then flash gapps.
6. Reboot
I won't be monitoring this much, as for bugs etc, so feel free to help each other here.
*** Please do not file bugs or report bugs, for both this ROM or against apps that may force close, etc to Play Store developers. ***
Known issue(s):
1. Can't install Chrome Beta from the market (due to some selinux whitelist issues)
2. Some apps are not up to snuff yet with 4.3, they crash.
3. You may need to re-install some of your Google Apps installed from the market if you don't wipe the tablet out.
4. Netflix doesn't play video in HD, it will continue to play sound and subtitles, but video will freeze at the last moment it was in SD resolution.
5. Secondary user profile issues.
6. You tell each other!
ENJOY!

will this also be the official gapps for the device or it'll be whatever rootzwiki is putting out? would be nice to remove apps freely available on playstore (example: gmail and maybe others)
thanks for reading.
So far other than some lag here and there this is strangely the best ROM I have used on this device
Was wondering when this was coming.
Thanks again for all the work to keep our tablets current and relevant!

I've flashed the 07-30 build, it's the same as in the op's link for the ROMS.
I tried all root apps that I have couldn't get superuser permissions in any.
But I didn't uninstalled them maybe that was why I had the problem.
Actually the ROM is very good for an experimental.

I cant wait to Flash this. Android 4.3's TRIM support should really help reduce the constant lag that often makes our Transformers completely unusable most of the time. Mine has been sitting at home running the boinic application for the past week as I cant even type out an email without the lag.

This is for you Titanium Backup users. I would not restore data, this is a new version of android.
For TiBu fix
Go: menu > preferences > backup folder location
Click: Detect > Whole Device
Change location to "/storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup"
(if you have no backups saved to SD, hit Back nav key until you can select this directory manually)
IF asked if you'd like to move files to new directory, select NO
You then can restore apps.
On TiBu's Twitter they released a beta which supposedly fixes inability to uninstall apps via TiBu, but I haven't tested this

You should try it yourself, make a backup in case that hdmi doesn't work but if it does you stay in Android 4.3.
I'm feeling it a little bit smoother than CM 10.1 not a single FC or random reboot on latest version.
