You can revert to the ICS bootloader with the .30 firmware using the information here as a guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31217902#post31217902
More importantly the new bootloader allows you to boot stock TF300 JB so you can flash back to my ROM if you like. My ROM does NOT touch the bootloader.
Thanks goes to saltxyz for this find.

Installation
1. Power off your tablet
2. Download the ROM
3. Copy the ROM to your MicroSD card or Internal Storage
4. Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet
5. Boot your tablet into Recovery by pressing and holding Volume Down AND Power for 5 seconds
6. A message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter Recovery; press Volume Up before the 5 seconds expire
7. Perform a backup from Custom Recovery
8. Wipe EVERYTHING except MicroSD card and Internal Storage
9. From your recovery menu press Install and select the ROM
10. Wait until the install process ends and then restart your device
RECOMMENDED but Optional Steps:
Seriously wipe EVERYTHING but MicroSD and Internal Storage
F.A.Q.
JB seems to be laggy. Any suggestions?
Yes, Wipe!! Even if you've performed a Factory Data Reset or Wipe Data I HIGHLY recommend unlocking your bootloader, installing a Custom Recovery, wiping EVERYTHING and installing the firmware again; preferably using Method 3.
Is there any way to change the Brightness settings?
Yes, through Third Party Apps. The most popular seem to be Lux and Custom Brightness Settings
Are we "SOL" having the TF300 Bootloader when the Tf700 JB Firmware comes out?
Personally I'm not too worried about the bootloader.
Either the official JB for TF700 will have the same bootloader as for the TF300, or it will be a newer version that we'll be able to flash.
The bootloader doesn't seem to be looking for a device check or else the 300 loader wouldn't have installed on the 700.
It really only seems to be doing a sig check for OLDER firmwares, not NEWER.
Why don't we have an Official TF700 JB Firmware yet?
I don't know, ask ASUS. I'm as flabbergasted as you are. We've only found two issues so far!!

Wow, getting a lot of good roms now, glad to see more stock options too!
Added to the directory...thinking about reflashing! But I just put CM10 on...
DPI Changer
Any way to change the DPI? If you just try to use a DPI changer the tablet won't reboot back up.

Just edit the build.prop directly. I personally like Root Explorer for such tasks.
The line your looking for is "ro.sf.lcd_density=160". 240 is default and 200 seems to be a nice inbetween.

Loving this ROM, nice job
Getting ready to flash this, is there any problems restoring previous TWR backups (JB or ICS) if needed or flashing another JB Rom that doesn't have the TF300 bootloader?
Yes when you flash a stock tf300 JB Rom it changes your bootloader In a way that is not reversible atm not even with a TWRP boot backup.
ICS bootloader based roms (like cm10) will boot but they will be laggy and the volume rocker will not work.

Well yes they will work but not exactly OK ( brightness always on max and thus high battery usage)
But it is important to realize that cm10 and the derivatives are jb based but use ics bootloaders so they do not work equally :
Its like this :
Tf300jb bootloader + tf300 stock jb roms = smooth but high brightness and high battery usage
tf300jb bootloader + tf700 custom roms (includes cm10 und derivatives) = very laggy and volume rocker not working
tf700 ics bootloader + tf700 custom roms (cm 10 and others) = awesome performance and almost everything working
The jb bootloader has a build in check that prevents any older bootloader from installing so there is no working way to downgrade from there
So at the moment it is not a good Idea to flash ANYTHING that uses a tf300 stock jb bootloader because once you did that there is no way to get a fully functional rom at the moment .

I restored a Baked Black Bean backup that I created just before installing the Mystic Rom and everything is working perfectly, auto brightness control and volume control. No lagging whatsoever. Could it be cause BBBv3 is a AOSP based ROM? Or was it the TWRP backup that I restored why I don't have any problems?

I don't know. When I first upgraded to JB from ICS my Brightness worked as well. After reflashing JB Brightness went away. Something seems to be left behind but looking at the configs and initrd it should work and I haven't been able to figure out what it's missing and I haven't been able to reproduce the error.
Could you possibly pull your /system so I can compare it to my ROM stock to see what's new or missing?

Wow, this device is a lot different from any other android device i've used. Rooting, unlocking, downgrading to unlock...bla bla bla.
Well i am really motivated to install clean rom and so far this is what i've done:
I was on officiel lock and unrooted JB. So i downgraded to ICS, unlocked it, rooted, installed CWM and usually, on any other device i would just flash any rom. But since asus are so freaking strick with their warranties, i rather look like a newb and ask then brick my machine.
So, on the pre-requesites of cleanrom it says
Bootloader: Official Asus Jellybean bootloader
Recovery: TWRP 2.3.1.0 or ClockworkMod 6.0.1.4
I'm not sure, but now that im unlocked and rooted on ICS, can't i just flash cleanrom from recovery or do i really need to be on JB bootloader. Also, since i walready was on JB, did i keep my JB bootloader or did i downgrade it at the same time i reverted back to ICS?
I'm sorry to be such a newb, but with my galaxy S3 i can pretty much do anything to it and i'm not scared a bit of bricking, its so easy to unbrick, but with the tf700, im stressed and rather take my time than rush it.
Thanks for the help!

Well Fortunately I have made that mistake for you.
It's best to flash clrom whilst on the JB boot loader.
I ran into problems when I flashed clemsyns kernel with clean on ICS.
Sooo yes CleanROM on JB.
Sent from the inside out...
The problem is that clemsyns kernel requires the JB bootloader in order to work correctly. No risk, but it just won't get above 1.3 or 1.4 mhz because the voltage tables between the kernel and bootloader are incompatible.
Easiest way is to do a system restore with a stock JB image from the Asus website. You may lose custom recovery doing this, but since you are unlocked, you can then flash custom recovery via fastboot...
thank you guys, youve been veru helpful! +1

They are not equal at all. The file size is rather different, and also the version number, which strangely changed from 2.10 to 1.00 in the newer version:
Android cardhu-user bootloader <2.10 e> released by "WW_epad-9.4.5.30-20120907"
Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "WW_epad-10.4.4.18-20121012"
well, I've installed JB and now am runnin cleanrom. I love it! Its fast, snappy and does not lag like the stock rom. I've also installed Clemsyn's kernel but had to revert back to reinstalling cleanrom because I HATED the higher DPI and use DPI modder to reduce it back to 120 and then the tablet didn't want to get past Asus screen where it said "this device is unlocked"
I have higher DPI on this tablet, I thing the stock is perfect and I despise the fast that it comes with the kernel with no option to set it back. Unless I didn't find it. But is it really worth to have that kernel cause as really satisfied with the rom by itself

To bring the resolution back to stock you have to bring the DPI to 240 (not 120). Simple change by editing the build.prop (just look for number 160 and change it to 240).

Yes, build.prop, look for the number 160 and change it to 240 save then reboot.

before:
ro.sf.lcd_density=160
change to:

Had problems getting 240 to stick.

Good morning,
While not a noob to rooting or flashing (currently active on Galaxy tab 2 boards) I appear to have made a noob mistake, and even though I searched and read stickies, etc - still made the mistake.
I rooted the Rogers Infuse 4G using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197248 and it worked without issue.
Decided to try the enable lag fix option - deleted the voodoo file on the sd card, and rebooted the phone. Phone got stuck on SAMSUNG screen (unfortunately - did not notice that the volume was off on the phone) and I did not hear the "voice" telling me what was going on - so rebooted the phone by holding the power button until it rebooted.
Spent a couple of hours after that re-reading, and since I was able to get into download mode - was able to reflash stock package through odin. When the phone did finally reboot (thankfully, as this is my daughter's daily driver) I noticed there was already a voodoo file on the sd card, with another file inside named "logs" Just in case, I deleted that file, and added a new one called "disable-lagfix" as per the original instructions.
Just to be sure - went back and ran the rooting procedure, and can confirm that we have root.
From there, I decided to flash the 100% working CWM Recovery file through Rom Manager - found the details on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107881 and can confirm that after rebooting into recovery - the phone has CWM Version 2.5.1.2
The phone is currently fully functional, no issues with network or wifi, playstore, etc - but would like to know if anyone can confirm that we are good to go should we decide to upgrade to a custom rom. I've done so much reading - that the recovery version confuses me ( red or blue, etc). I realize that some of the threads are back from early to mid 2011 - so not sure if they are still completely valid - so am asking before proceeding.
Phone settings are the following:
Kernal 2.6.35.7-I997RUXKG3-CL366622
Build GB.UXKG3
Baseband I997RUXKG3
Firmware 2.3.3
CWM 2.5.1.2
Currently have the voodoo/disable-lagfix file on the sd card
If anyone has gotten this far into the thread - and can offer up some feedback or recommendations - it would be appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Bill
I usually don't trust Rom manager, but if you are able to boot to recovery then I would say you are good.
If you want the red one (don't remember the version) you could flash a custom kernel with sgs kernel flasher (available on play store).
Infusion should work for you

Thanks for the reply - appreciate your time
Guess it's time to turn that volume up, delete the voodoo folder, and cross my fingers....
Just to confirm - do I delete the voodoo folder itself, or the disable-lagfix folder inside the voodoo folder only ?
Again, thanks
:good:
What were you planning on flashing?
You can probably leave it there for now, and after you have flashed then you can dispose of the folder.

First off andros11 - thank you so much for your time in replying to my issue.
My daughter has been looking over the development site - and,
as it stands right now, she has her mind set on the Dark Night Rom by VortexJunior.
Here is the link, if it helps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662280
The install instructions, while relatively simple - and similar to what I am used to doing - but no mention of lagfix
Installation: From Gingerbread
1. Download Zip
2. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
3. Wipe Cache Partition
4. Flash
5. Reboot into recovery(Advanced>Reboot recovery)
6. Flash again
7.BAMM!
Thanks again for your time and replies,
Regards
Once on ICS I don't think you have to mind about lag-fix..
Also, I suggest you just reboot instead of rebooting into recovery. That often causes recovery bootloops.
When you reboot, the phone will hang at the kernel splash screen (this is normal). Just take out the battery, place it back in and boot into recovert with 3-finger combo (vol +, vol - and power, and let go when samsung logo pops up)
My personal suggestion is that you move on to JB. It performs much better, and mostly all development is now there.
Perfect - thanks
Am running CM 10.1 on my tablet, and love it
Will have my daughter research JB ROMs instead.....
Happy Holidays to you and your family

Lag fix??
I am confused.. what exactly is the lagg fix? My GF has a JB (one of phablet ROMS) installed and all the JB ROMS I have installed on this phone (and I think all ROMS besides JB) have had lagg problems. So I would really like to know how to fix this phone.
About that lagfix...
If I remember correctly voodoo lag fix was originally designed for the Galaxy S to change the file system it ran at to something that made the phone feel more responsive and access recourses quicker. It was ported to other ROMs so if a ROM includes it then you're ok to use it but I don't think you can just apply it to any JB ROM. Plus after using a GB ROM with this lagfix for some time, any 4.0 and above ROM I have used after that has been a LOT quicker in comparison. So I would probably look into the way you JB roms were installed maybe do a data wipe/factory wipe in CWM and reinstall the ROM from the beginning. What ROMs are you using exactly?
Hello,
I am very new to rooting and custom roms so i followed a guide to use cwm to try and root the tablet which didn't work. I was able to install cwm with no issues but when i tried to apply XpLoDWilD root-signed.zip file it would install but when I would reboot with cwm it would say that i would possibly lose root and give me an option to fix root which i would select and then the tablet would reboot and i would use a root check that would say i didn't have root. I wanted to use CWM backup feature before i did any custom roms but i was unable to get a successful backup with cwm. I used cwm to flash CleanRom Inheritance 3.03 onto the tablet and then used a root checker and finally got a successful root result but then i once again tried to backup my tablet using CWM and was unsuccessful again. So I want to know what will happen if I were to do a wipe data/factory reset within CWM or while I am booted into the android OS. I was able to do a titanium backup and copied the titanium backup folder to my mircosd card. Is there anything I need to watch out for or any other backup method i need to do on my tablet?
If you already have a Custom Recovery why the hack you want to stay on original Stock?
CleanRom is twice as good and Stock related, rooted and if you flash a kernel after even OC.
If you really like to root stock there is a superuser file somewere out here called Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed. This should do the trick. But as I wrote before with this you will have a VW Beatle with Clean you have a Porsche
I agree. Not flashing a custom rooted ROM is, IMO, a waste of a good tablet. I was amazed at the increase in performance after flashing the 2.54 version of Paranoid Android with the OCed Untermensch kernel.
I do like the custom cleanrom

What steps did you take to OC your tablet? I installed Clemsyn's kernal 1.3-1.8Ghz OC kernal and used No frills CPU to play around with OC settings but haven't notice too much of a performance jump. I also made sure the asus was put in performance mode. Do you have any suggestions on roms, kernel, and no frills cpu settings i should use to get a good performance boost?
I'm running Paranoid Android v2.54 with a modified version Of Unters kernel that can be found in the first 2 posted of the thread. You must use the version That Keegan modified. Read the OP and second post to find the link to the kernel. The ROM has a built in performance settings that allows adjusting of the speed and I/O. I really like the ROM. It works great with my dock too. It has many extra settings that the other ROMs do not have. Read the thread well.
Here the link to it. Keep in mind that there is a beta version also. I am not running that version.

so I, for the first time, flashed that new kernel on the front page of this discussion which overclocks the cpu. I have the newest version of jellybean installed so I considered that a stock based rom and thought it would work. in power svae mode the screen would go all crazy, balanced mode it was aalright except it would crash after a while. peformance mode would crash even sooner. so I found a stock based kernel and flashed that. Everything is fine now except the previous kernel changed some settings on the screen rresolution or something with the gpu which increased screen size I guess cause now my custom Hubs GUI is all spaced out which I had previously and meticulously spaced before hand. it caused smaller screen titles and smaller widgets basically making things look out of proportion. is there a way to revert those settings? it seems since the stock kernel doesnt innately change gpu settings that it didnt revert the settings initially set by the first kernel. the kernel I flashed to fix it was a stock kernel slightly modified from cleanrom to do something dpi and some other unimportant thing so it isnt the completely stock kernel but it is stock based. does anyone think If I flash a true stock kernel it will get fixed? if so can I get a link to said kernel or will I have to extract it myself from a stock rom

You can't use custom OC kernel with stock rom. You need to flash custom rom like Cleanrom and you can flash what ever kernel you want that designed for CleanRom.

Anyone else with an unlocked bootloader uses a custom ROM that sets the display dpi. This has nothing to do with the GPU, it's just a setting that tells Android the display resolution so that it can scale UI elements accordingly.
To get your 240 dpi back, either install CleanROM Inheritance, or the first kernel in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106689
that is actually the kernel Iflashed to ttry and fix the dpi. thanks for informing me on that, I had a hunch dpi had something t odo with the problem I was having. I only tried one of them I guess theother one (ill have to check my sd card to find out which one ) will fix it.
and to be clear, I can flash clear rom inheritince and not lose app data or settings?

A bit of background on my device: I've had my NS for just over 3 years now and I just recently decided (when I bought my Xperia V) that I'd like to play around with it a bit. To my knowledge, my device was one of the 1st in the country and a test dummy, and I purchased it from a friend who was working and testing for Samsung at the time. It was not linked or affiliated to Vodacom (who, if I'm correct, was the only network provider to offer the NS in S. Africa) or any other carrier for that matter. So basically due to the lack of link to any carrier, I've never received any updates or notifications to update, and have been running my stock 2.3.5 for 3 years!
Anyway, my story from yesterday was a huge learning experience. I decided that I wanted to root my NS and possibly try out a new kernel before deciding whether or not I wanted to install a custom ROM. I followed this link and managed to root my NS, install CWM recovery and everything was working pretty well using UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.65.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034264
However I think I flashed the wrong kernel (marmite_v9.1) or for some other reason messed up, keep in mind that I was still running my stock GB which the phone came with. Either way, I was stuck on the Google boot screen for more than an hour. I fired up into fastboot and then recovery, but couldn't boot from there (I just realized that I DIDN'T make an actual backup ). To top it off I wiped the device (another great idea) and the device wouldn't boot into fastboot, giving me a "fastboot mode no boot recovery img" message. Somehow through flashing the CWM I managed to get the device into the correct fastboot mode, and eventually after digging for a few hours I managed to find this (stock?) soju GB ROM download, and managed to flash the boot and system images using fastboot, for some reason " fastboot flash userdata data.img" refused to flash. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478820
Anyway, I managed to get back to GB 2.3.5, but get this, after about half an hour on charge, I was given an update to ICS 4.0.4 which I obviously jumped at, and to top it off, I also have JB 4.1.1 available. My NS has finally seen the light of ICS and JB!!
I have a few questions for those who have used ICS and JB though. On the NS, does stock JB provide a notable difference in battery life and speed? With it's hardware, is it capable of handling ICS and JB effectively?
Also, which version of marmite would be compatible with ICS? From what I've picked up, marmite 9.1 is compatible with JB, but is it compatible with ICS too, and if not, can someone please point me in the right direction for kernel(s) which work with ICS (not just marmite).
Second, are the Oxygen and Rasbeanjelly ROMs still up to date? When searching for Oxygen for NS on the forum, the most recent version I find is this which was posted over a year ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1605273
And this for Rasbeanjelly (among others): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028718
When checking out fitsnugly.euroskank, I don't see anything for the NS. . But maybe I'll consider a shot at the PA and CM ROMs and try them both in a few days
Finally, and this 1 is way over my head, but how does CWM work? If I do a wipe before flashing a ROM/kernel, won't that wipe my backups? Do I need to partition my sd before wiping, or does CWM do that for me, and if it not, does wiping not touch the backups?
Anyway, thanks in advance, and I hope I haven't asked too many questions which have been answered before. If I have, please bare with me and point me to the correct discussion(s) and I'll go bug some other people.

Follow the link in my signature for a ROM review... I've heard debates over the best versions for battery life, but JB in my opinion is far superior to ICS... Oxygen is a great ROM, but it won't get more updates and kernels/mods ect.. Are harder to obtain.. It may be a bit challenging to do, but I'd use 4.1.2 JB (follow my chart) or skip to 4.3 JB (Mokee or Slimbean)

good flashing

Speed yes. Battery life no.

There are stutters here and there. You need to overclock to obtain "optimal" ICS and JB performance. JB is smoother than ICS.

Normally it does not. Unless you select "wipe external sd card"
