OK, let do one step at a time, go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795156 and download the unlock tool app, then run the tool to unlock your device, it's very safe and you need internet connectivity while unlocking. Give it a try and report back. If sucessful, we will take you to next step.

Ignore this, they forgot to update the description. Many xda members have successfully used the unlock tool on JB.

OK, you are set, now you have many options:
1. Stock with rooted
If you want to keep stock, then just download the SuperSu and use twrp to flash "install" the zip package can be found here http://download.chainfire.eu/310/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip?retrieve_file=1
2. Custom rom and custom kernel.(use TWRP to flash the rom or kernel zip file).
They come with pre-rooted, so you don't need root. Here is the best rom which compatible with both the tablet and dock:

You already on .25 JB right? then you don't need to flash any bootloader. Here is the best setup:
Cromi (cleanrom) 3.2.2 ODEX with _that_stock kerne. During the setup select:
fsync disabled and seeder.(with seeder, you can download later on so no big deal).

Question for the master: I am on CROMI 3.2.1 and still have TWRP 2.2.3. Should I push TWRP 2.3.1.0 or 2.3.3.0 before I flash CROMI 3.2.2?? I've been reading posts about conflicts between outdated recoveries and bootloader. What's outdated? At the same time, the latest TWRP builds seem to be buggy and sdbags wrote he went back to CWM? What's your advice?

Update to TWRP 2.3.1, it works for most of us. I don't know which version was the first to be compatible with the JB bootloader, but 2.2.3 sounds quite old - and if you choose "wipe data" from the bootloader menu or use any "boot to recovery" tools with an incompatible recovery, you risk turning your tablet into an expensive paperweight.

After my thread for the TF101, here are my first repackaged OTA updates for the TF700:
First of all let me make this clear:
If you have root and want to keep it, use OTA Rootkeeper.
The original recovery is removed from the blob, so you won't lose your current recovery.
If after flashing one of these zips you still have the OTA update notification, do this:
Go to Settings -> Apps -> All and clear data from DMClient.
Current OTA 9.4.5.26:
US version:
us-9.4.5.22-to-9.4.5.26-TF700-CWM-v1.0.zip MD5: 2C6C763D0A7618E4AB4CB530D714F833
WW version:
ww-9.4.5.22-to-9.4.5.26-TF700-CWM-v1.0.zip MD5: E9597AD7C18483445A1F006D91A44C1B
IMPORTANT! If you deleted/changed some files, these updates will NOT work. These updates are meant for people on a stock rooted rom.
Sweet I know a few people were looking for a flashable OTA update.

AFAIK cwm zips are compatible with TWRP.
It's a generic name which is supported by most recoveries.
(TWRP or CWM) As far as we are able to unlock our TF700... That not my case...
But it's a good news for those who can
Lizard, a better title would be "[ROM][FLASHABLE]" or something. People tend to get very confused when you say "CWM" because they think no other recovery can flash it .

I've changed the title to flashable, since I don't consider the update zips to be roms. I hope this will take away some of the confusion.

You cannot downgrade from 9.4.5.30 to 9.4.5.26; the 9.4.5.30 bootloader and above accepts only signed bootloaders and the older ones are not signed.

You can no longer able to install nvflash once you already flashed above .26 version, like .30 and up. You're out of luck.

That sucks, I didn't flash .30, it came with it already installed. I'm used to flashing my phones, so it should be no problem flashing my tablet. Thank you very much for your help.
If you've flashed roms on other phones or tablets in the past then you should be fine. Just don't do anything crazy and you shouldn't brick it. I don't have NV Flash capabilities on mine, though I had the chance to but updated my bootloader anyway. Doesn't bother me as I'm not a dev and won't be doing anything crazy on mine. I've done plenty of flashing on many phones and the Asus Prime in the past, so I'm not worried about it

Just be careful to never choose "wipe data" in the bootloader menu without a working (compatible to bootloader) recovery, that is the #1 reason for hard bricks:

OK that's not how you install root. Since you're on JB version already, you need to install (flash) custom recovery (TWRP) then use TWRP to flash superSU or pre-rooted rom. Follow this link and start with section 2. MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD TWRP version 2.3.1.0

ok so i'm having a bit of trouble following this guide...
1) I installed TWRP (with the help of this page) http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/105 I had to use the Download - Recovery Image / Fastboot Method because the app method wouldn't download the blob file
2) Now, when I power + volume down boot I can see my bootloader isn't the correct version. how can I update the bootloader? I have the files from the original link i posted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481892) so there is the correct bootloader i just don't know how to install it.
is there a more detailed guide with actual step by steps?
Congrats on getting TWRP installed! The rest is easy.
In TWRP select 'Install' and navigate to wherever you have the zip file with the bootloader/TWRP package, select it (if it has xxx signed.zip in the file name you need to check the "verify zip signature" option. sbdags usually signs his zips - don't know if he did with this one).
Swipe the button to flash the file.
When it finished, boot back to system. Do not flash a rom at this point! That would cancel the bootloader flash. Boot back into system first, then back into TWRP and then flash the rom.
BTW - flashing the modified Asus stock rom is perfectly fine, but I wonder why you don't flash CROMi-X 5.2.2?
That rom is from the same developer, based on this stock rom and miles improved since sbdags debloated the stock version.
sbdags stock rom is not really supported whereas he puts out a better version of CROMi-X about every 10 days! It's exhausting to keep up! LOL
You'll find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425383
You can still flash the BL/TWRP package you downloaded already. It's the same as the one for CROMi-X.

Thanks, Honestly whatever custom rom I have now can randomly reboot and i think is giving me touch screen issues so was just going to hit up a stock install and see if that fixes any problems.
gonna try out the rom you suggested and i can always go back if necessary.
one thing, when i installed theTWRP the blue bar filled up completely and i left it for about 10 minutes and it was still there. so i powered down and everything booted back up correctly (and i can get into the recovery mode).
does everything sound ok to proceed?

The latest official TWRP version is 2.6.3.0 and the device is no longer maintained.
Where did you find the 2.8 version?

Yes, you can upgrade your version of TWRP as long as there is a newer version of TWRP for your model number.
If you get it in .img format you can flash it in TWRP(TWRP can flash .img files) or with Flashify.
Or
If you get it in .zip format you can flash it in TWRP also.
Just remember, after you flash it in TWRP you need to find the reboot option at TWRP main menu and choose "reboot recovery" and it will reboot into the new TWRP, if you fail to do this step you won't keep the new version and it will revert back to the older version that you already had.

Well if you look at this thread the rom is for TF-700 and TF-201 and the pre requisites require TWRP 28.0.0. While The official release for TF-201 Is 26.6.3. This Confuses me. How Do I flash it???

When you see a thread that says a ROM requires a certain version of TWRP, it means you need "at least" that version and not a version older than that. Best bet is to always use the newest, most up to date TWRP then you don't have to worry about it because newer versions of TWRP can flash older ROMs with no problem but older versions of TWRP can't flash some newer ROMs. As ROMs become newer they require newer TWRP because partitioning structure changes with each new version of android so the recovery has to be compatible with the changes made in partition structure, that's why older recovery can't flash some newer ROMs, because the older recover doesn't have the necessary changes to keep up with changes in partition structure.

There isn't much to explain other than the fact that "KANG" means they created that recovery using work someone else did, it means they probably ported that recovery from a different device.

Good advice: READ! As much as you can find about what you're going to do. XDA + google will help you to find nearly everything...
KANG TWRP is a unofficial TWRP, its built for a unofficial bootloader (ported from another device) (included in the Hairybean Rom Thread)
Latest TWRP 3.0.2.0 + Hairybean Bootloader 4.2.1 + instructions can be found when you click the links.
Make sure to READ and UNDERSTAND everything before you proceed flashing a modified bootloader to your device, as you can easily (hard)brick it by flashing a wrong bootloader.
So you're implying that i can actually flash an unofficial version of TWRP Recovery.

Since I plan on running a NV Flash on my prime before flashing any other official or unofficial version of custom recovery. How do i Find out the number of my bootloader. Since I Unlocked The Bootloader, CPU-Z and any other app like it keeps showing me bootloader unknown.
