I finally got my replacement Infinity from Best Buy and it seems like its a keeper Given that some decent looking JB roms have appeared I am going to unlock. I am having some indecision about which recovery to use before the flash-fest begins.
I use TWRP on all of my other devices but after reading the thread in the dev section I am a little hesitant about using it on my TF700. Specifically, it seems like some people have been having problems restoring because TWRP doesn't deal with restoring /boot properly. I had exactly the same problem with my Prime and all of my TWRP nandroids were useless without flashing a kernel after restoring. This is a bit of a problem if this happens with the TF700 since there are no custom kernels available yet.
These are my questions:
- How common are the problems with restoring TWRP nandroids? Can most people successfully restore with TWRP?
- How well does CWM perform? Looking at the thread it seems like it works just fine or am I missing something?
I appreciate all of your input. Thanks!

To be honest i have the same problem with CWM ,it doesn't restore /boot so you can't switch between various roms by just just restoring your backups.This beeing said i didn't had any issue with TWRP and so far is more user friedly than CWM.

I have been using TWRP exclusively and have been going back and forth between 4 different roms, restoring from each, and have had zero issues. I believe the problems reported related to those who had flashed the TF300 JB update and replaced their bootloader with one for TF300. If they hadn't made a full nandroid prior, I think they were stuck with that bootloader until the most recent .30 ota update. I could be wrong, but I think these issues you heard about were related to the TF300 bootloader.

Thanks okantomi. I'll try TWRP but keep the stock rom on /sdcard in case of emergency. Now, which rom shall I try...decisions, decisions

Of the JellyBean Roms, the 9/14 versions of Baked Black Bean and the CM10alpha work well, but the latest version of CM10 (9/18) won't boot all the way into the os. Hiemashu is working on it. Also the TEAM EOS Jellybean has issues (random reboots and newest doesn't boot). My best recommendation would be to flash the ZEUS v4.0 ICS Rom. It's complete and nice and fast. You won't be sorry. Read all of the OPs and follow instructions. Have fun!
The problem with CWM can be solved quite easily. It doesn't restore the kernel properly. So therefore you have to flash the kernel after you restored.

Are there flashable kernels out there that I have missed or are you talking about flashing the stock kernel blob with fastboot?

Hi guys i've been looking through the forums and i have noticed that the tf700 users can flash our roms! I was wondering did anyone try flashing one of their roms with our device?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using XDA Premium HD app
Just checked over there we have more updated roms anyway there development seems slow that why they have to port ours lol.
Sent from my SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
I agree but in the long run development for their device should pick up and surpass the development we have for ours. So if we find a way to use there roms it will lengthen the amount of content for our tablet.
BUMP! I'd like to get an answer to this as well. It seems that everything is the same other then an LED. Has any tried flashing one of their Roms?
I flashed the TF700 Stock Rom Was trying to get back to ICS. Stock flashed and was running. But then you have the tf700 bootloader
So you can flash them.

Hum... does this means that we will have 1.5Ghz kernel on our TF300T ?
Hey all, I've read up on alot of what I needed to do with regard to rooting and unlocking and installing a custom recovery and I thank all of the people who've contributed so much to the TF700 scene and the android dev in general.
What i need help with now is a suggestion on which rom to go for. Now I have gotten this far, but this last step is sort of like a leap of faith for me as i do not have nvflash installed because my tablet came with the .30 firmware by default. I also have a few questions: my jb version is 4.1.1, can I flash cm10 for JB 4.1.2? It might be a stupid question, but i haven't found an answer at all from the threads. Cleanrom is also an option, so is it easy to flash? I'm very worried to take the last step because as ive said i dont have nvflash to back me up if something goes horribly wrong.
Any help would be very much appreciated!

Hi everyone,
When I use stock or stock based roms and I "Wipe cache and dalvik cache" ONCE then I keep getting Android is upgrading EVERYTIME I boot up. Does anyone know how to fix this or what kind of problem is this

Me too have the same problem. I'm currently on CROMI 3.2. When i upgraded CROMI from 3.0.4 -> 3.1.1 problem has started. I havent't got any idea to fix the problem.

Zip align feature? What is that?
Sent from my TF300T using Tapatalk HD
It is listed as one of the features of cleanrom to zip align on boot. I have read that when apps are zip aligned that performance is better.

I'm sorry if you haven't previously been on cleanrom or one of the others that uses zipalign then I don't know the reason for your issue.
I'll try to do some poking around to emulate the problem. Stock, which version? I run 10.4.2.18 as my baseline rom and have never seen your issue. What rom were you on previously?
I'll flash your previous setup and then your current to recreate the issue!

I have this same "issue" but it dont mind it. And i think its jb problem coz on xplay with jb (cm10+aokp) its "upgrading" too

Well it started when I use energy ROM, but then I move to stock ROM .18 then .20. Both .18 and .20 when I wipe cache and dalvik cache once then it started...Maybe it's because I have official zip (.20) in my eternal memory... But I don't think that's the problem. Now I'm using CM10.1.

OK! Energy is stock 10.4.2.18 and zipaligned!
Are you having the issue on CM10.1?
I'm downloading Energy now so it will be a bit.

Good, I'm glad you have managed to lose the problem. I have not been able to create the issue with energy rom. After flashing I don't have the problem or zipalign. I flashed both the regular and the debloated without an issue but as I said I don't find zipalign in the rom even though it is stated as a feature.

Hmm alright and thanks anyway.. But my problem is with those that is stock based ROM, even on rooted stock I got that.

Why do you think it is an issue? It takes 3 sets to complete. It's just a bug, ignore it and worry about something more serious :victory:
Ok I hope you all can help sort something out for me. I just got a refurbished TF300T a couple days ago. I unlocked it in ICS and then it forced the OTA of 4.1.1 on me. I had no problem getting ADB drivers in and flashed the jelly bean recovery. I rebooted into recovery and there was cwm. I tried flashing the rootzip that is out there but it did not work. I then tried to do a bakup and it failed. I then realized i could not see emmc only sd.
Any ideas.
I have a rooted modded nooktab so i am somewhat familar with these devices but i am stumped.
Thanks for the help

I'd try manually flashing the firmware and then flashing CWM again, or TWRP which some users will argue is much better than CWM.

Thanks for the tips. Yea in a tough spot. Not sure what to do. I will,search around. You think flashing the firmware will work. Should i flash stock recovery too.
Odd issue. Wonder why they did this?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda premium
Just read the post again if you are still on 4.1.1 the disreguard what i had mention theres probably away to fix which im sure some one can help but what i had talked about was the 4.2.1 jb update attempting to root on that is a no go. So just ignore that post. I'm on stock 4.2.1 but unlocked bootloader so can't help there cant go any further myself at the moment.
In my setup menu theres an option to add seperate users some seem to think that it encrypts the information so another person who has access under another user name cant see another person info. Sound logical to me but really messed things up for us.
Now still thats all just speculation no one knows for sure what the exact issue is with the 4.2.1 update is yet but best advice is to wait till it's figured out.

Reflashing stock img will flash back stock recovery, so I'd just do what I said, you should be good.
Hello there,
Since the TF300 and the TF700 are almost identical I was wondering if some CM10. 1based ROMs (PAC-man ROM) can be flashed on the TF700? Does anyone have some experience in this (or with any other TF300 based ROM -> Hydro ROM) ?

If the kernel is a pure TF300 one at worst it won't boot, at best it'll boot but you may have some issues like no USB, camera, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc
You could flash a working TF700 kernel and a TF300 ROM and test it?

Yep exactly that
Op. Did you try this? Did it work?
I tried and they boot, just no WiFi. I'm sure there are other things, but the no WiFi stopped me.
