Busy with nothing I simply pressed the button to check firmware update for my TF700T. Then a notif came up telling me to install an update. After a temporary unroot I did what it said, and now I'm running Firmware 10.4.4.23-20121127, mine is WW. Root restored without any issue after rebooting.
Can't really see any changes (yet), probably have to dig deeper.

Updated and restored root
I've just installed mine but have not seen any difference. Maybe preparing the way for 4.2?
Could anyone upload the dlpkgfile for ww??
Here is the US version if someone needs it http://www.4shared.com/file/DIESwG1w/dlpkgfile.html

I did an Antutu benchmark, before update I was getting about 13300 or so, now I am getting 14400. I also think they have unlocked 1700 mghz for all cores except power saving obviously.
Got the update too, nothing too obvious seems to have changed.....
And I forgot to backup the dlpkgfile, sorry @geri.st

Just noticed the 1700 mhtz being available again. Otherwise I dont see any noticeable difference either. There's still lag and choppiness as .20

Yes lag and choppiness in stock browser still very much present.
Do we really need another thread for this
For me this is the greatest update so far. Tablet is much faster and did not find any bugs yet. Prevented me from unlocking for some more time.

You haven't seen the performance of Cleanrom and Clemsyn kernel yet. I ran the .23 version and it's no where near the performance of the Cleanrom/clemsyn combo. I went back to stock just to see the .23 perfornace, but after one day, I'm back on Cleanrom/Clemsyn kernel.

From what I've read I truly believe in you. The problem is that I didn't use NVFlash when possible (had already updated the bootloader) and I don't want to risk unlocking and flashing ROM's for now. The tablet is not sold in my country and if I brick it I wouldn't be able to repair nor to buy a new one.
I am not a newbie on flashing ROM's in general because I still own a HD2 but I do know there are risks on the process.
Thus, I will probably wait for the 4.2 update to decide between unlocking it or not.

I hear you, you do have a point!
I agree that this update really improved the speed of my tab. Might not be clean rom fast, but it's still warrantied fast
It's a bit faster now. At this rate we'll be fully happy with the speed around April. For me it does what I want it to just fine So what if I have to wait 1 second instead of 0.5 second for an app to open? And the very, very rare (no, I don't get them a lot. once a day, at most.) ANR messages are a whole lot less irritating than the constant "Are you sure" UAC rubbish I deal with daily on W7. (technologically impaired clients. Ugh.)

I, too, am not risking unlocking. While it is for sale here quite regularly and the EU covers warranty concerns, I bought it from a store that's not known for its great customer service (Media Markt, for you dutchies&germans.) and I didn't get a chance to use NVFlash. (By the time I heard about the idea, the first update had already auto installed. ) I'm also generally rather unlucky when it comes to electronics, stuff tends to break. And I need the tablet for work, so I can't afford to have it send out for repair for weeks if I mess up.
@ShadowLea
I have exactly the same problem as you, but Media Markt isn't good for repair?
Must I unfreeze all system apps before the update?

Yes, you must unfreez all system. Any modification to properties (build.props) file also needs to roll back. The device must be in the "stock" condition or update will failed.

Did you already try settings, about tablet, system update?
you can force it by heading over to the dev section, rooting your transformer and flashing prime v1.1 so you don't brick your device.
Asus pulled the update due to devices getting bricked.
DONT update.
Some are getting bricked and there is a forum post waiting for further recommendations.

The answer is exactly what A Naked Emo said, but the firmware has been pulled from the update server, so until they put out a fix you will have to wait, and technically you have the latest version available at this time.

It would really help me a lot (and also the other users there who are still confused on what to do) if someone could provide a step by step procedure into how we can make the best out of this tablet...
like (ROOTING --- to root or not to root?, UPDATING FIRMWARE, SUGGESTED APPS)
download links and instructional links would be really helpful here is as well...
hope someone would be kind enough to help
Thanks in advance...

Yes you can update firmware then root if you like. Remember Unlocking your tablet will void warranty and lose the ability to receive future updates from Asus. Once unlocked you will have to rely on custom roms to to keep up to date. As for me I'm just waiting for Jelly Bean Project Butter to hit our tablets before considering custom roms and of course making sure that my tablet is a keeper since i am still within the 30 return policy from BB.
So my advice is to not jump the gun. You can unlock your tablet anytime you want only down side to it is that if something breaks your SOL no warranty and its frowned upon to return a tablet unlocked, because the chances of that tablet being sold to another is likely to happen. Then that persons warranty is already void.

Update the firmware, and then wait to root or unlock the boot loader.
In my opinion there is no reason to rush to root it. The stock ROM is quite nice, you can always change the launcher if you want a different look. I believe that all current ROMs (and there aren't many, yet) are still pretty much in beta. So give the devs some time to do their thing. In the mean time just enjoy your new toy.
thanks for the advice guys... it means a lot... will keep you guys posted once i get my hands on it
Rooting is fairly straight-forward in execution and does provide you with access to programs you wouldn't normally be able to use (adaway comes to mind). It also will not void your warranty and if you do have problems, you can always do a factory reset to go back to straight stock. Bootloader unlocking will void your warranty and prevent you from receiving OTA updates (though you can still install updates manually) and there are not many custom ROMs available just yet. In summary, root if you want, don't unlock the bootloader yet.
Edit: removed derp
^Thanks for that... will probably do an update first and then root it.. any suggestion to what initial apps to install?

Is there a way to Unlock or Root the TF700 with the current JB firmware? My TF700 came stock with JB, and it seems like Asus took down the links to the ICS firmware on their support site.
As others have said in various threads, you can be on JB and unlock no problem. It says ICS only but Asus are just lazy and haven't updated their site. I unlocked on JB and everything is fine.

As far as I know, the only way to root it without unlocking the bootloader is if you have ICS and just use the debugfs command program, as far as rooting with JB I know you have to have the bootloader unlocked. In all honesty I don't mind taking the risk of unlocking my bootloader because I have Geek Squad Protection on my tablet and can just get a new one for free.

You should use TWRP 2.3.1 instead of 2.2.2.3, which he reccommends, though. They have fixed the issues he talks about.

I'm wanting to take the plunge myself - but do you have to use the Asus unlocker tool or is there a way around that? I'm too late to get SquareTrade I think. Too late, and too poor LOL. I just have that nagging feeling that as soon as I do the thing will bork on me.
Edit: Sorry...I just read that you can't unlock without the ASUS tool, and it's a damn shame. I want so bad to rant right now but I won't.
I think I'm still going to unlock though.
The only way I could find to root was to install CWM recovery first, and then install the CWM SuperUser app. I replaced CWM with TWRP when all was said and done. Both are now touch interfaces making things so much less laborious. The links for doing so are all around the web and these forums. I had my frustrations but in the end it was easier than I thought it would be. I'm happy I took the plunge. I believe a lot of my frustrations were from ASUS' horrible implementation of Android. My benchmarks are now 6300+ on Quadrant with 2D GPU rendering on. I know benchmarks aren't everything but, you won't be sorry if you're giving up some kind of warranty to get the device you paid premium dollar for.
Hey guys,
I got a Transformer for Christmas. It came with JB 4.1, and I did a firmware update after I got the device. I'm not certain whether I'm going to keep it, but I want to see how much CM10.1 would improve it before I decide. However, if I still decide to return it, I need to be able to return it to 100% factory default condition - meaning factory default Android + removing CWM.
Is this possible? If so, how?

TF300T is an awesome tablet (good value for money), but when you install CleanROM Inheritance 3.0.4 + untermensch's overclocked kernel (1600 Mhz instead of the default 1200Mhz) it is so much better.
I bought mine probably 3 months ago and have no regrets at all....it is unlocked / rooted and has CleanROM installed.and I did a factory reset and removed all the bloatware and junk apps which I would never use.I have used Untermensch's kernel but currently it runs again on stock rom cause it is fast enough for me.
Hello everyone. I just wanted to check to make sure im getting a good deal here. Someone is on their way to me with a 32gb tf300 with dock, car charger, and boxes in supposedly near perfect shape. Is $280 usd still a good deal for a 32gb version? They will be here in an hour so any quick feedback is appreciated
Also, I know the screen isnt as good as the tf201 which I previously owned, but ill primarily be using it indoors to watch netflix on rather than my note 2. Im going to guess its more than fine for that purpose right? Ill likely be NRGizing it

Thats exactly what I was looking for. I wasnt sure how much the 16 and 32gb are going for Looks like I did get a deal indeed as mine is the 32Gb model ! Right now im running NRG's rom though. It was fully updated to 4.2 when I got it but luckily I found the TWRP specific to it that worked. I may take the time today and downgrade it though. Im not sure if its the BL or what but this thing is terribly laggy. It was worse with Cromix than with nrg's. Ive read everywhere that people recommend doing the fastboot downgrade to 4.1 ( to get 4.1's bootloader i assume ).

When i buy any electronic device on craigslist, i use the manufacturer's method for wiping it completely clean and starting over. For you, that would be factory reset from TWRP (include wiping internal sdcard) fastboot the latest official blob file from asus, flash TWRP and then install the ROM of choice. You never know what the other guy did with/to it :/

Already done my friend When I first got it, it was bone stock but fully updated to 4.2. Stock worked smooth but Cromi and NRG seemed to jitter / hiccup when i FINALLY got twrp working. Im thinking it had something to do with the bootloader and rom combo. I just used FB and went to 4.1 and installed TWRP 2.4.4.0 as that seems to be the combination that works well. Im currently downloading Cromi again to give it another go. What kernel are you using ?

Im running the Stock moddified 10.6.1.15.3 kernel on my own ROM. Granted there is SOME jitteryness, but in all honesty, it more than likely is the app. Facebook especially, it tries performing background tasks to update your news feed, and im not sure whats with them but they fail to use the dual core and higher of the device. 99 percent of the devices are dual core or higher, i find facebook to only wanna use the main core -.- causing the most amount of lag.
