I recently bought my new Transformer Infinity and like an idiot I updated to jellybean without thinking if I wanted to root first.
I've tried several different ways but I can't get my TF700t to root after updating so that leads me to ask if I must unlock before rooting after jellybean?
I've tried downgrading and that is to say I've put the 9.4.5.30 update in my root of the microsd card and when I go to recovery boot i just get the little guy on his back with a red triangle and black exlamation mark.
I realize unlocking will void my warranty which I am a little hesitant, though I never purchased any warranty with my tf700t but i think i can do so now.
I tried following this post:
Thanks for the reply, but i've been working on this for the past couple of hrs and my issue is solved. i'm currently back at 4.1.1 Jellybean again and Root Checker has verified that root is in place. the su binary is also present and all apps that need root work properly (Busybox, Titanium Backup, etc). i've also rebooted and rechecked several times to be sure, it say rooted every time now, whereas it didnt before. I managed to do all of this without unlocking the bootloader as well, even though what i've read elsewhere says it is necessary to do so.
I would have agreed with you before on your point that OTA updates are irreversible, and they usually are, but my experience today shows otherwise. however, you are right that each OTA will probably make it harder to reroot or stay rooted. you're also right that factory reset only wipes data but not firmware, which i just recently figured out today before you posted. i used the "about tablet" section in settings both before and after my steps below to verify that i had indeed downgraded/upgraded firmware/Android versions from JB to ICS and vice versa.
here are the steps i took, in sequential order, so that maybe anyone else with my issue can benefit. i cant gaurantee it will work for everyone:
1. downgraded from 4.1.1 JB firmware to "Eee Pad Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T Firmware: V9.4.5.30 Only for US SKU (Android 4.0.3)". This will roll you back from Jellybean to Ice Cream Sandwich. go to support.asus.com, enter TF700T as the model number, and scroll down until you find this, then download it and unzip the zip file to the root of your sdcard (there is a zip file within the downloaded zip, place that at the root, not the downloaded file itself). if you are using a TF700T that is not US-based then download the appropriate file for your region, just make sure that it has .30 in the file name. I read on a forum somewhere that this is the only firmware update for this device that enables downgrading from higher version to 4.0.3, although it's possible that others may work. then power off your device and do a cold boot (hold down left volume and then followed by power button, do this for about 10 seconds. when you get to the desktop/start screen you will see "Safe Mode" in lower left corner, then your device will notify that an update is available. tell it to apply and let it reboot. when it powers back on you should be back at 4.0.3
2. Do a factory reset, this can be done either before or after the step above, but i did it after. i'm not sure if this is necessary , but just to be on the safe side. back-up all important info, apps, etc beforehand
3. I used the method at Simple Guide to Root TF700T Asus Transformer Pad Infinity : Tips For Tab . this guide can also be found at other websites, but the steps are the same and the files/utilities needed are the same as well. just follow the steps. this will not work if you are still at 4.1.1, you will get the error i detailed in my last post.
4. Download Root Checker (to verify root access) and make sure you have the latest Superuser installed from Play (SuperSU may also work but i'm not sure, i'm using the paid version of Superuser Elite). and also get Voodoo OTA RootKeeper (free), this has a function that will allow you to restore root access after upgrading to 4.1.1. Superuser Elite also has a "ota survival" function that does essentially the same, both worked for me (this software isnt free). and get Busybox and a terminal emulator like Better Terminal Emulator or Android Terminal Emulator. i'm not even sure if these last 2/3 are absolutely necessary, but they install essential must-have functions that all root users should have.
5. then use RootKeeper and make a backup of the su binary, or place a checkmark beside the "ota survival" function in Superuser Elite. either will backup the su info so that it can be restored.
6. Next, do a direct OTA upgrade to 4.1.1 JB , either by using the built-in firmware update function, or by manually downloading from the website and updating using the method listed above. Do NOT do a restore to factory backup state after this point (especially after), it will most likely wipe out the backups of su made by RootKeeper/Superuser Elite.
7. after the upgrade is finished you will be back at start screen at at 4.1.1, use Root Checker and it will say you're not rooted. Then use either of the 2 programs ive outlined to restore the su binary from the backup. in SU(E) just uncheck and recheck the OTA Survival box, or in RootKeeper just restore from backup. Then go back to Root Checker after doing either of these, it should say rooted. reboot and recheck to make sure.
8. That's it! just wash, rinse and repeat when the next firmware update is available, hopefully these same steps should work
Also make sure to keep a backup of the su binaries/app from here onwards, otherwise at some point in the future you may lose the ability to simply restore from backup after each OTA Firmware update. you will have to start over from the beginning.
I'm sure someone figured this out already, but i figured i would post anyways.

Where did you get the old ROM from? ASUS isnt hosting it anymore and it HAS TO BE a factory original Firmware signed properly or it will not take. In fact you should see "Signature Match" (or maybe its matched) in the top left corner in recovery.
I'm not saying that message is a guarantee you have the right ROM but its a good sign.
The default warranty is like a year so I wouldnt want to unlock either.

Makes me wonder if they have broken downgrade on the 10_4_4_25 firmware then?! The TF201 had that happen on the first JB update. You could no longer downgrade to ICS.
Edit, Adding that I just downloaded the US 9.4.5.30 from that site you linked to and an MD5 check confirmed it matches the one I have used 3 times.

The link you supplied that has all the firmwares there are several that say 9.4.5.30
The first one is WW, World Wide. You need to make sure you get the correct one for your device. So if you bough retail in the US get the second one that says "US". The firmware will not work if you don't get the correct one.
An easy way to tell what you need is to go to settings and scroll down to "About" on the left. Tap About and on the right half scroll down to "Build Number" My daughters TF201 says JRO03c.US_epad........
So she has the US one and would need the US Firmware.
If you have a US device and tried to apply the WW firmware from what I have read it will fail, won't work.. dead andy. Make sure you have the right firmware for your device.
Please post back your results as I am sure many would be interested if ASUS broke reverting to ICS.

After you download the zip file, first you have to UNZIP the zip file and you're going to see another zip file. Now rename this new zip to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip , then copy this to the root of your sdcard, boot into recovery and try again.

The only device I believe you should ever have to root/unlock /jailbreak is the IOS platform. As you probably know, you are extremely limited to any customization with an IOS device. Under the android platform, I find that there are many flavours of customization under the stock setting already. I've ran the TF700T with the latest updates and firmware for the past few months and performance is still optimal ... I also bet that if you had my tablet side by side next to a rooted/unlocked TF700T tablet, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference from a performance perspective. I'm only speaking from a standard user point of view. I can see where a developer may want root access and or someone who wants to learn how to program the OS, create custom ROMS etc., however for the casual user, I'd leave it the way it is.

I guarantee if you unlocked and installed a custom rom you would be blown away with how slow stock is Seriously, how do you know if you haven't done it? Seems like a strange challenge you have set. BTW I don't know one single person who has unlocked and gone to a custom rom who would go back to locked stock because performance is that different. You just don't know it.

A significant reason for increased performance on custom ROMS is that the kernel they use allows for overclocking usually to 1.8GHZ. Just FYI in the interest of full disclosure.
It is not the ONLY reason but a big part of why they look/feel so much faster.

Yes kernel tweaking brings huge benefits but there are plenty of other tweaks that bring the perks as well outside the kernel
Hello everyone, I just joined XDA and hope to be a successful contributor to this amazing community. This is my first post, hope it will be of help.
I can confirm that 10.4.4.25 did not break the downgrade option. Like others already suggested, make sure you're using the firmware which matches your device (WW/US/etc.) and you should be fine.
I Just got my device tonight from ASUS (RMA due to crashes every 2.5 days on the clock, black lines every few seconds, extremely laggy).
My precious came with 10.4.4.23 and I upgraded it to 10.4.4.25 to check the performance and black lines issue. With 25 it still lags a little but less than 23 and other earlier firmwares. I ran these tests on 23 then on 25:
1. For real life performance (don't care about synthetic benchmarks) I updated all the apps simultaneously. Both firmwares were laggy but 25 was much less than 23.
2. The black line is still there in 25 but much less than 23. I could reproduce it only with the black hole live wallpaper test which is a very good sign as in 23 I reproduced it a couple of times without the black hole live wallpaper.
After these tests I downgraded successfully to 9.4.5.30 (US) in order to root (need that for Avast FW) with no problems at all. Now I will go root it.
Update: Successfully rooted and upgraded back to 10.4.4.25

Thanks for the update.
Mine did not see any update regarless of multiple checkings performed (this was done before any rooting attempted). I am in the process of dowloading dlpkgfiles and slowly doing the hard way.
Update: After I reflashed back to 9.4.5.30 to root, I went on and started updating using dlpkgfile started with .16, .18, .20, .23, and finally .25. All is good now. However, I had a few errors when going from .16 to .18 due to getting incorrect/wrong dlpkgfile.
Thank you for everyone's help.

Settings --> About tablet --> Build number
There you will find something like "XX_epad" in the middle of that very long string. In which XX = your tablet's SKU. It can be US, WW, TW, etc.
Sorry, I don't have my tablet in my hands. Cannot get you a screenshot. I am sure there's some around the forum.

Awesome i see its the US version. I have found it on Asus website. Now one more thing and this may sound stupid. I see it says put it in adb/fastboot. where is that exactly haha thanks again
Oh wait, I guess you haven't unlocked the infinity yet. Fastboot is available only after unlocking. I haven't unlocked mine, so I am not very familiar with that.
Using adb connecting to your tablet through command prompt is essentially the same as running terminal emulator on the tablet. I guess you should be familiar with adb as you hacked many phones already.
You know what. I heard that the unlock tool also works in JB for TF300T. I guess it should be working on TF700T with JB also. You can try it first before downgrading.
You can try this guide to downgrade to .30. Just download the .30 file instead of .22 stated in the post.

I have 6 Asus Transformers, 1 prime, 3, TF300T, and 2 Infinity, all of them for Office purposes, mine is an Infinity, of course. But there is something I don't understand since the first day I got the Inifnity's, I have never received an OTA notification, not even brand new, the rest of them as soon as I turned it on and set the initiail stuff there was an OTA waiting for me.
Well, mine was rooted but the other one is not, but again, no OTA in any of them, the weird part is my friend got a new Inifnity last week and as soon as he turned it on he got his OTA update, and he just called me that have the .18 notification and again, none of mine have.
Anyone have some information to share with me about all this?, Also, I just finished updating to JB and keeping my root last week, it wasn't easy, downloading the dlpkg file and doing the stuff, is this the only way to keep my root again, or do you think I can download Asus website's file and just update and then been able to use Rootkeeper to restore root?
Thanks.

OTA Rootkeeper works only for OTA upgrades (whether downloaded automatically or manually makes no difference). Installing the complete firmware from the Asus website wipes everything, so any su backup cannot survive this procedure.
If you unlocked the bootloader of your tablet, you will not receive OTAs. If you only rooted without unlocking, then the entry for your device in Asus' database is missing or messed up - many here have reported similar problems.

So, any idea if somebody already have an update file?, I have looked on Google but the dlpkgfile files available are for the previous version .16 not for the .18.

go to the root of your external sd card and delete all the zip file(s), you probably left it there when you downgrade. Also delete file from internal sdcard in /cache/recover if any. Once you unlocked you shouldn't receive anymore OTA.

As said by the first responder, you can delete the cached firmware file. I do not expect the OTA to brick your tablet, but you could interrupt the process if you really wanted to.
Even with a brick, there are loads of possibilities of flashing a firmware file from ASUS' repository. Then you'd have a fresh tablet OS to your convenience. The situation you describe above does not exactly ruffle any my feathers.
EDIT: just in case you are not yet on .30 or higher... get Nvflash on there!

You must be "the chosen one", first I heard of OTA stills working after you unlocked. Just verify that you actually "unlocked", by reboot your device and it should shows "your device is unlock" during booting up. If it does, then you are the chosen one. You can update as long as you are pure stock rom, and if you have root, just use OTA root keeper to keep root then you can update your pure stock rom to the new version. If you mod/freeze system apps then the update will fail. I never heard of updating of a stock rom with unlocked bootloader will brick your device. It will brick your device if you modded or using custom rom.
EDIT: If you don't want to do through OTA, you could download full package rom from Aus site, unzip then copy the new zip file to the root of your external SDcand. Disabled wifi (no more download) then delete the update file located in your internal memory /cache/recovery. Turn off your device, go into recovery mode by hold down volume down+power button, then install from there.

That does sound like it actually flashed something (at least partly). I would run that unlock tool another time just to be sure I wouldn't get into trouble down the road (Having an ASUS OTA flash right on top of your CleanROM/CM10/AOKP could be a minor disaster, or a pretty disastrous disaster, depending on what ROM of these you were on. Flashing over stock, well... minor nuisance, but it would be majorly inconvenient to have to flash root and stuff all the time.)

No, it just doesn't work. The updater-script inside the OTA package compares the checksums of the system apps to be patched, and aborts as soon as one doesn't match the previous stock ROM.
The only potential danger I see is the communication with the bootloader which kernel to boot - the OTA downloader (DMClient) somehow has to instruct the bootloader to load the recovery kernel to install the dlpkgfile from /cache, and if that process is still not understood by custom recovery creators (there were some problems apparently, I don't know if they are solved), you might end up with a device that only boots into the recovery and not into Android.
Thanks. I will.

About to tear my hair out at its roots trying to get this thing up to Jellybean. I bought it being told it was Jellybean capable but it had not been upgraded yet and all I had to do was go to the Asus site and get the files.
Well I go to the asus site and sure enough I download the file but thenit does not mention how to do the upgrade process. So I then go to - http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...-jelly-bean-asus-infinity-tf700t-minutes.html and this tells me to get the file needed to make it a specific file name and then do the reboot into the regular bootloader.
Well this worked like a hill of beans. I kept getting an error about the signature being invalid though I downloaded it off the ASUS site and I tried downloading the file three different ways (at work) on my phone and off my home Cablemodem) so if its a file problem its a file problem on the hosted site Asus is using.
I then used the unlocker and I unlocked my Asus it even shows it is unlocked every time it unboots so this part I know I did right.
I then ran DebugfsRoot_Generic_v2.3.zip from the link here - http://dottech.org/78441/how-to-root-asus-transformer-pad-infinity-tf700-debugfs-method-guide/ - and it said that it gave me root access on the OS installed. I however downloaded SU and RootChecker both which indicated I did not have root.
So then I decided if I was going to do this I would go full gusto. So I got a CWM GUI from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094746 because I use CWM on my phones and figured if I stuck with the gui version of this I would be fairly competent on doing a rom replacement.
So then I downloaded a couple of roms from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1834521
as well as the SU that can be flashed. before boot up but I seem to still not to be able to get root (though the tool I used indicated I have it) on the current system.
The problem I have right now is rigt now anything I try and load from my sd card that is a zip shows -
E: Can't Open /sdcard/filename.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
For Filename.zip I have tried CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/310/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip as well as multiple ROM files from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1834521 as well as a couple from Asus
Things i know 1) I have correct USB from the Tablet to the PC this is evident because I was able to update the bootloader to the CWM GUI. 2) The MicroSD card is a 4 gb card and it works just fine. I have used it in my computer many times and I can open and copy and move files just fine on it any which way. 3) I am unsure as to why DebugfsRoot_Generic_v2.3.zip indicated it was all Rooted but then rootchecker is not showing it as rooted.
Is the fact I don't have Root the main reason for the files not being able to be opened? If so is there a better TF700T root program out there?
So for my clarification you want Jelly Bean rooted?
Is this correct?
Although it could be risky, you can actually toggle file system hashing verifications off in CWM. Make absolutely sure that the file downloaded correctly by verifying the MD5 yourself, other wise you could end up with a brick of the same value but even less practical use than the one you currently have.

To answer Thats_OK's question: I read this to mean that the 700 is still ICS, and he wants to get JB on there.

Just to correct a minor error in terminology, just to get it straight: CWM is a recovery, and not a bootloader nor a "GUI" to the bootloader.

I do not have a clue either -- the script should do everything for you and you should not have to undertake any action afterwards.

Nope, an unlocked bootloader and a suitable recovery is all you need. Once those two are in place and working correctly, you should be able to flash anything. Rooting pertains to the access granted to the filesystem once you're 'inside', i.e. with the tablet running the ROM installed.
If so is there a better TF700T root program out there?

Nah, this works for pretty much anyone. I've had the error of "bad installation" a few times as well, and I toggled the hashing. Worked like a charm, although, as said, there is a minor risk involved if you do not keep your head cool and forget to verify manually. I haven't had this on the latest version of CWM, though.

I have already followed these instructions multiple times and each time it is giving me errors about the files being invalid or something of the sort.
I have tried about 4 different roms to load and each time I get bad file indicators even after comparing md5s and verifying the files are okay.
Is there any way to wipe this thing 100% and just load something on fresh?

Hmmm..Guess I'm not catching what you have done.
When you downloaded from the Asus website did you rename the file inside the zip to: EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip then place this on your microSD?
Also I don't see any mention of ADB to push files to the tablet.
Sorry for my confusion.
Just not understanding where your at.
It is possible to wipe the internal SD card (eMMC) memory using TWRP...yet I'd wait until we get things sorted.
Let me go over what I did and what didn't work and let me go over what I finally did that did work now that I have mine all upgraded.
Didn't work -Scenario 1 -
Go into Settings->About Tablet-> System update this did absolutely nothing for getting me jellybean it just sat at a connecting screen that gave me nothing.
Didn't work -Scenario 2 -
Straight from the last link you provided -
1. Decompress downloaded .zip file (it will be another .zip)
2. Rename it to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip
3. Format FAT32 the MicroSD card that you will be using for the update process
4. Copy the file to (the root directory of) your MicroSD
5. Insert it into the tablet
6. Shutdown (power off) the tablet
7. Power it on by pressing and holding VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons simultaneously
8. When you see white text in the top left corner of the screen, release the buttons ^^ and press VOLUME UP button until you see Android logo and process bar
9. Wait patiently for 10 minutes or so
(when I reached number 8 nothing happened automatically and I had to use the blue screened system recovery and when I pointed it to the SD file it told me it was a bad file.)
Didn't work -Scenario 3 -
Loaded
Transformer ADB Tool v6 and then loaded CWM GUI and then tried loading different rom from all over the place Asus main site, and all over the Index site here for different roms. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1834521
Finally however I finally made it work -
I am not sure why ALL the other ways did not work but on mine this is what I had to do.
1) From my first post I got the program from Asus that did the Unlocker I ran that from the Asus site.
2) From the first post I installed CWM GUI and I installed that.
3) From the index site I downloaded Stock Rooted Odex 10.4.4.23 to a USB stick - mainly because it says its rooted and I don't have to worry about rooting it AND I don't mind being .02 revisions behind.
4) I did an MD5 check vrs the download verified all was correct.
5) Tried to install from the MicroSD card and it failed yet again same errors as before.
6) On a whim I rebooted the TF700T and I copied the Stock Rooted Odex 10.4.4.23 to the device directly.
7) I booted to CWM GUI again and this time it installed when I selected to load from the internal SD.
8) I reloaded all my apps on the top.
9) I then loaded the apk of flash that "isn't supported" but works well enough on JB even on my phone.
So basically it would not install from my MicroSD though everything said it should but it would work fine from the internal memory.
This is with me using 2 different MicroSD cards and both are known working ones out of current phones I use all the time.
So I am now up to Jellybean and I am sporting all I needed to be upgraded for. Thanks for the attempts but it was just my constant tenacity that got me through this process.
Sounds like you have loaded my stock rooted rom. Which means you will still be on the old ice cream sandwich bootloader. Recommend you flash the JellyBean bootloaderfrom one of my threads in the ddevelopment section.
The reason your ota Asus updates failed is because you were already unlocked.

Ugh so I actually just made this worse? Basically since I did Stock Rooted Odex 10.4.4.23 over the version 9 ICS I am still running version 9ICSwith files over the top that are from 10.4.4.23 making it now some mixture of the two? So confused because I thought when I did a rom upgrade it wiped out the old and put in the new? it is showing the right version in Settings and it is acting right with what Jellybean should be doing so I am a lot confused right now.

boot into recovery, when you see 4 icons, take a look at the second line (white text), it should say the version of your bootloader (1.00e is JB bootloader and 2.00e is ICS), then next to it is your JB or ICS version.
What sdbags said is when you flash a premade rom from XDA, it only included the ROM/kernel, but no bootloader. The only way is to flash the full firmware download from Asus site which included everything and bootloader is one of them.

Ahhh gotcha. So I have really only done it halfway and have to get the bootloader flashed up as well. Will work on this next then. Right now I only have three options in my bootloader android, USB and the wipe data when all the others I read about indicate 4 icons should be there so I thought something was off there.

I uploaded sbdags' version I used to DropBox for you: https://www.dropbox.com/s/js0m8nas00ts95h/tf700t-WW-JB-bootloader-only.zip
It's just a matter of flashing this (and update your recovery, if applicable), and then reflash any ROM you'd like.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/js0m8nas00ts95h/tf700t-WW-JB-bootloader-only.zip
Thanks guys I went ahead I went ahead and downloaded it from the link right on the website that sbdags was talking about just did a quick forum search and found the proper JB bootloader. So now I have a CWM GUI recover, JB bootloader and the sdbags stock rooted JB rom on it.
Now I know this is a loaded question and someone has already mentioned CleanROM Inheritance 3.2
But are there any clear cut "great" JB roms that run pretty much flawlessly on the TF700T that are prerooted? Just checking because as I mentioned I have tried quite a few roms on my Samsung S2 and used AOKP, SuperNexus, and am now on ShoStock3. Are the roms on the TF700Ts about the same in "feel" to their galaxy s counterparts? E.G. AOSP TF700T like a AOKP Galaxy S2? (assuming AOSP and AOKP are the same developer?
Thanks for everyone sticking with me through this. This has been such a learning curve over my phone which was simply install CWM (non gui) and download the rom and then flash. Didn't have to worry about unlocking anything, didn't have to worry about where I was installing the rom from and all that.

Pretty much all of them are preooted, but in my opinion, none of them is as smooth as CROMI. BBB7 has been quite a bufggy experience for most of the people that tried it (or so I gather from the thread), and although the CM team is making nice progress on their 10.x version, some minor niggles remain (and sometimes resurface, such as shortcut keys on the dock being broken every once in a while). Also, CROMI is developed actively in the meantime as well, and you can take the mods with it that disable those annoying notifications.

I agree that the SGS2 was a breeze to flash compared to the TF700 -- I was in the same boat as you. Flashed away without a care, then had to learn how to do it anew with the Infinity.

The differences are greater, because the TF700 has a lot of pixels to push and therefore its hardware is more hard-pressed than the SGS2's. The Exynos in the SGS2 is a VERY good chip, so it handles itself quite nicely in lots of scenarios. The Tegra3, I am pained to say, has impressed me less in everyday use than the numbers on paper did. With CROMI, it's pretty good, so I'm happy as it is now, but it should have been better out-of-the-box.
Thanks for everyone sticking with me through this. This has been such a learning curve over my phone which was simply install CWM (non gui) and download the rom and then flash.

Hello, I am just wondering if any of you guys received a firmware upgrade recently.
I upgraded to this firmware which I believe was built early this month and it seems like it can't be rooted and my Google play keeps on crashing.
I did some searches and there seems to be no results regarding tf700 and this build. Anyone?

Looks like they are doing a new release for the TF700 which is not unexpected seeing as they just did one for the TF300 and ME301 as well. The same problem exists on those two devices. Asus have closed the root loophole motochopper has been using. As of now there is no known root method other than unlocking.
What waste of their time...instead of fixing things like the lag, on screen keyboard output and browser compatability they get all paranoid about someone fixing it for them...

Motorola did this to me with a Photon 4G phone right before they said they wouldn't be updating the OS beyond 2.3 they OTA'd my phone so I can't put a ROM on it. Guess what, no mo moto for this dude and now there won't be any more Asus either, pretty soon I won't be buying anything but I'll have a lot of money!

Bad update
Hi to all,
I´ve just update my TF700T to the latest firmware JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801 but all goes wrong.
First, every app I´ve installed has been stopped, no one works. Every time that i want to launch an app, appears the message "sorry, the XXXX app has stopped...", the same with a lot of processes: "sorry, the process XXXX has stopped"
Second, I try to fixit rebooting the pad, but evrery time I reboot it, or shut off and then power on it, is the same: "android is updating/upgrading: optimizing nn applications of mm"
What should I do, i´m desperate my TF700T is unusable.
I´m root, not unlocked. I activate the survival mode in the SuperSu app to try to mantain the root.
Thank you very much in advanced.

I made a cold reset, wipe data and nothing works. Now I can´t enter on the system, because when I need to configure my google account, i receive a message the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.
I also try made a RCK, but i got the android with the red triangle with the exclamation inside.

Hi to all,
I´ve just update my TF700T to the latest firmware JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801 but all goes wrong.
First, every app I´ve installed has been stopped, no one works. Every time that i want to launch an app, appears the message "sorry, the XXXX app has stopped...", the same with a lot of processes: "sorry, the process XXXX has stopped"
Second, I try to fixit rebooting the pad, but evrery time I reboot it, or shut off and then power on it, is the same: "android is updating/upgrading: optimizing nn applications of mm"
What should I do, i´m desperate my TF700T is unusable.
I´m root, not unlocked. I activate the survival mode in the SuperSu app to try to mantain the root.
Thank you very much in advanced.

I got this error when mine upgrade to 10.6.1.14.10, too...
I managed to fix this by following "Alternative Firmware update Method" in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28374043&postcount=1
You may download 10.6.1.14.8 from Asus web site, downgrade the device, root it if you want to, and then apply OTA upgrade again.
