[Q] How to install custom ROM? - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Samsung Infuse 4G running CM10 so I'm not totally oblivious of the ROM flashing process. But since TF300T is a bit different, after couple hours of research this is my conclusion of what I need to do.
I'm already running JB so...
1) Unlock bootloader
2) Install CWM
3) Root
4) Flash ROM
However, since ASUS is having problem with their unlock .APK, I'm screwed and therefore can't install custom ROM ever. Is that true? Should I be looking for option to sell my TF300 and get a different device?

Why it's not helpful, can you explain. It will be good.
Cause you're on JB, not unlocked and not rooted.
So unlock your device, with Asus unlock tool, install TWRP...
and.... Just apply the rest of the process

unlock tool not working. doing a google search shows this is a common problem.

Bad answer.
It's helpful, but in your case, you have a problem with the Asus Unlock tool.

Which method did you use for Rooting? If you used super one click, there is an option to unroot with in. If you used another method, just do a little searching here and you will find it, I am not sure which thread it was in, but I know I saw it some days ago. Good luck!

If you used the windows one-click method there is an unroot option in that app.
I just did a factory restore, that got rid of super user and root.
btw i used the super 1 click...

McGyver Trick is a way to charge a phone when it is Soft-Bricked, and external charger is unavailable. Search Google for more info.
Which version of Android are you running that you want to unroot? Generally, the Root.zip package itself has unroot.bat file.

Oh, wow...
I actually just want to return to it to original form.
I had rooted and tried the pac-man rom, but there are certain things
that don't work- well the gyroscope to be precise(can't play games like
temple run)...in addition the battery seems to run down faster, the network
data don't work and wi-fi is harder to pick up it seems and I experience some lag at times.
So I restored the stock OS (ICS). I just want to restore the phone to its
original form.
Thank you dearly for your assistance.
Guess I got to stay rooted then. I hope it won't be a problem
in the future though, like let's say if I wish to sell my atrix 2 or so.

HTC Inspire 4G Help

Hi guys, I am an iphone user and Just started to use Android so dont know much about it. I have couple of problems please help me to solve them.
1. I Installed Android ICS 4.0.4 after rooting Inspire 4g and its working now but whenever i run few app it reboots. I tried to run Temple RUN 3-4 times but my phone reboots. Please help me to find the way.
2.- Now its not rooted. Would you please help me to know how to root now this Inspire 4G with ICS 4.0.4.
Regards
1. Which ROM?
2. How did it get unrooted?
I Installed this Rom and i have done nothing after that i dont know how to unroot or whatever.
update-aospX-1.0.0-AR30-DesireHD-signed.zip
would you please let me know what to do? It reboots and dosent look stable for me.
Regards
That's because that is not the latest version. Where did you get it? It is actually really old. The latest version is on this phone's development forum. Usually I would tell you to read more and search for the link, but I'm feeling nice today. So I'll give you the link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460820. And I'll give you a friendly warning: around here and around most Android hacking forums, we expect even new users to read and research a lot for themselves instead of flashing things willy-nilly. Look to the link in my signature for some new user help. And remember to full wipe.
Also, I4G users can flash Desire HD ROMs. So you can try that forum out too. It's more active than this one.
I got it from google. and would you please let me know what to do? Can you give me the link of latest rom of ICS 4.0.4 link which will work on Inspire 4G and how can i root this 4G now? because i cant install your rom without Rooting.
Thanks

Well, you haven't answered the question of how it got unrooted. Not knowing how that happened, I don't know which of several solutions will work. For the rest read my edited post above. And look generally to the I4G and DHD Development forums for ROMs. Don't randomly flash stuff from Google. You run a pretty high risk of bricking your phone.
Hi bro, Thanks alot for your time, i am downloading this aospX-1.0.0-MR1-DHD.zip rom right now. and I just checked my iphone and i can see the recovery mode after rebooting my phone. but when i install root check app and it says your phone is not rooted. so any Idea what to do?

Er, your iPhone? Do you mean your DHD? You probably got your Superuser app deleted somehow from your current ROM, I don't know how, but once the ROM is flashed Superuser should be back, since the ROM will have it. Make sure you full wipe first, which means wiping or reformatting system, data, and cache (the exact method differs depending on your recovery). This will erase any data you have.
Also, did you use AAHK S-Off or HTCDEV bootloader unlock? The flashing method differs. And by the way, calling either option "root" is a misnomer. AAHK S-Off lets you flash anything to your phone. HTCDEV bootloader unlock lets you flash certain custom ROMs. They basically unlock hardware. Root is software. It usually comes with a ROM, though you could push the relevant Superuser.apk and su binary from your computer with adb if you really wanted to do so. You just can't flash a ROM (and usually people are looking to flash rooted ROMs) unless you have unlocked hardware with AAHK or HTCDEV. Look at the link in my signature, which has a very good guide on post #7, for more detailed information that you should probably know before you go mess with your device any further.
Yah Sir, my Inspire 4G had 2.3.3 as you know that and i did use AAHK to unlock bootloader before flashing 4.0.4. and as i said earlier i am using it now but rebooting. I do understand my questions frustrate you because i am noob.
What i am trying to ask you now that the link you have given me the latest rom one, Can i flash this one straight away after downloading because i have used AAHK before installing 4.0.4?

It should be rooted. Do you have an app called Superuser or SuperSU? And yes, you can install paid apps on any ROM, rooted or not.
yes bro, I can see the app called Superuser in Inspire 4G now. So its mean i can install paid apps for free now?

...Um, no. Paid apps are still paid. That doesn't change with root. And XDA does not condone pirating. I meant that you could install paid apps in a rooted ROM just like you can on stock.
When you jailbreak an iPhone, you can get paid apps for free..that's probably what he meant or was curious to know

Well, he can pirate apps on Android all he wants regardless of whether he's rooted or not. Whether he should is a whole other question.
Well, I am agreed with MissB. Rooting the phone goes far beyond hacking 5 bucks apps. If the only reason is that he wants to pirate apps, then he is in the wrong place.
Besides, he needs to read a bit more before messing or infect with a virus his phone. Most of the apps have a lite version that is as good as the paid one with a little restraint on the features.

Unable to get Root for TF700 4.2.1

Hey everyone!
I have tried rooting with the motochopper tool and the Debugfs automated root tool, but neither method seems to work. Motochopper acts like it works, it successfully pushes the superuser.apk to the device and reboots it, but doesn't seem to actually get root. Whenever I launch the superuser app it gives me this error: There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!
The Debugfs automated root tool seems to always tell me that it can't find the device via ADB but motochopper seems to get to it just fine, so I don't know what else to try.
What am I doing wrong here? I can only guess that ASUS has released a new update, my build number is JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801
I've rooted several devices in the past (Hero, EVO 4G, Galaxy Tab, Galaxy S3) but can't get anywhere with this TF700.
Any help would be great!
Thanks
Yea, that is what is it, I have a newer build version, guess I will downgrade and try again. Thanks for looking!
MotoChopper doesn't work with the latest firmware, you will have to use an alternative method. Just search in the tf700t forum, there's more than one topic about it.

[Q] Help unlocking bootloader on Mac (or directly on device)? [4.1.2]

So I'm on a Mac, and I've gotten as far as rooting my phone from the grace of motochopper, and now I'd like to unlock the bootloader, so I can install Cyanogen. I've searched for a way to do it on Mac, and pretty much one thing has come up which is something called "Adam Outler's Casual", which I'm afraid to use, because it tells me it can brick my device, and I don't have the correct directions for it. As I said in the title, I'm running a Galaxy S3, on 4.1.2, on Verizon. Will this be compatible? I also found an article about something called "EZ-unlock", which I found out has been taken out of the play store, but I downloaded it from a thread on AndroidCentral named "[App] [9/20] EZ-Unlock 1.4 - Easiest way to unlock your bootloader!" (I can't post links yet, need 10 posts), and I can download any version of it. What is the best way to approach unlocking my bootloader without bricking my phone? I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me.

It won't break it, just hit unlock and it's done. Of course there's always a risk of something happening, but it's a very simple process and risk is pretty minimal.

I'm perfectly capable of searching, I didn't get to RC status by being a n00b. The point is that you're making a positive assertion, and those usually need to be accompanied by some kind of evidence, otherwise your claim carries no weight.

Look for gizchina method to change color os rom to cm11s, its very easy and noob proof method, just google for it. And no, you dont have to unlock bootloader if you dont want or dont know how to do.

Actually you can flash custom roms with locked bootloader just using fastboot boot command then when you are in the recovery you can flash what you want, roms,mods,supersu,etc.

Thread lightly cleaned of unnecessary comments...If you have nothing nice to say or cannot contribute with respect, than I suggest you go elsewhere. No time for drama in development.
Final warning. Be nice or get out.
