Are you unlocked? If so, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803343
It says .26 but it should work for JB
Edit: if unlocked you need to flash the new JB compatible TWRP or CWM too!

I assumed that you either have twrp or cwm installed since you're unlocked. The below instruction is much better.

========= Recover Factory Restore with custom recovery =========
1) Download the latest firmware from Asus site (based os your SKU,eg. ww 9.4.5.26 * firmware)
2) Extract the download zip file somewere on your desktop. The file name should be EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip
3) Copy EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip to the root of your MicroSD card
4) Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use button combination to go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume Down and POWER together for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume UP before the 5 seconds expire
5) From the recovery menu press Install and select the "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip" file ...wait until the install process ends and then restart your device.

Ok so this worked to bring me back to stock, but when I went to update it was still telling me "no update available". So I booted to recovery to make sure i didn't have twrp anymore and it went to stock recovery. Unfortunately the little android guy had a red "!" and it said it couldn't find "/sdcard" and that the update failed.
I just want jellybean :/
Borrow a microSD card from your phone temporarily if you need to.....
I have a very old 2 GB microSD that I keep lying around for situations like this....might not be a bad idea to pick one up at a local store.

Because you have unlocked bootloader, that's why you can't use OTA to update, you need re root and with twrp/cwm, you could install the OTA patch version of JB (incremental update). You could use the stock recovery to update to full version JB, but then you will lose root. If you don't know how I can provide some instructions for you.

First most important, you need to make a NVflash backup of your bootloader, BEFORE PROCEED to upgrade. This is very important, once you upgrade you will not able to do so.

So did you make a NVflash backup yet? if not you shouldn't proceed. So your device haven't found any OTA update when you check for update in settings -> about tablet-->check for update?

Let do one step at a time. NVflash is very very critical, once you upgrade you will not able to do this. NVflash backup help you to recover from a soft brick situation. After you done with NVflash, here is how to manual upgrade to JB.
1) Download the .30 verion firmware from Asus site (make sure if you in US, you should download the US version of .30)
http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=ASUS+Transformer+Pad+Infinity+TF700T&p=20&s=16
2) Extract the .zip file somehwere on your desktop (the result will be another .zip file,use it for step 3)
3) Rename the extracted file to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.ZIP and copy it to the ROOT of a MicroSD card or INTERNAL SD card.
4) Use this button combination to get to stock recovery mode
Turn off tablet. Pressing Volume Down and POWER button together until you see white text message appeared on the screen, now release both buttons. Now press Volume UP button (before the 5 seconds expire).At this point the device will go in recovery and should start updating your firmware .
Once done, I will go into how to root.

1. Yes, if you DON'T want to UNLOCK to root your device. Once you're on .30, you root then use OTA root keeper to save root then upgrade to JB.
2. If you went straight to JB, then you need to unlock in order to root. This will be more complicate, since you need to install custom recovery, fastboot and SDK.

Most of bricking caused by operators' errors, like using the wrong recovery, wrong bootloader/wrong version for the rom etc.., but if you careful, by doing search and ask first then it's pretty safe to flash custom rom.

None at all. Let assumed you did the nvflash (backup your .26 bootloader). The simple process would be, download full .30 rom from Asus site, place on root of your external micro SD card or internal SDcard, boot into stock recovery and flash it. Next root your device, then download OTA root keeper to save your root. Let OTA upgrade your device, if OTA is not working, then manually upgrade to JB. Once on JB, use OTA root keeper to restore root. That's it.

Well, if you plan to run custom rom, you need to unlock and custom roms come pre-rooted, so you don't have to worry about losing root.

On your PC you need the following:
1. Android SDK (should comes with ADB and fastboot commands).
2. USB driver for your device.
You are going to use fastboot command to install custom recovery, or you could download Goomanager from Googleplay and install TWRP this way. Once you have TWRP/CWR, you boot into custom recovery mode (hold down volume down and power button), then find the custom rom then flash it, pretty straight forward.
Hello,
I have JB 4.1.1. I'm trying to upgrade to JB 4.2. I have unlocked the bootloader and been trying to root with no success (I've tried many ways). Now I'm trying to upgrade to JB 4.2 but the tablet won't boot on recovery mode. When I try to boot on recovery mode I get the laying android robot with the red exclamation mark.
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!

This is your stock recovery. You need to install a recovery. You can do this using the ABD tool in the Dev section. After you have a better recovery, which I suggest at least TRWP 2.4.4, Flash the zip in the stock 4.2.1 thread that has TWRP 2.5 and 4.2.1 Boot loader. 4.1.1 will run on the 4.2.1 boot loader. After that then flash the stock 4.2.1 in the same thread. It is pre rooted. This is all if your unlocked.

Unzip the file then rename the unzipped file to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip" (without the quote), then copy it to the root of your micro sdard, boot into recovery by hold volum down and power button, when you see the white text on the screen let go both buttons, then hit volume up twice, it should flash the firmware file

The guy with the exclamation mark ISSSSS your recovery. It is not a full interface. It will only flash a rom if there is one available, if it is not, it will do what you stated. Unzip the file downloaded from ASUS website once after downloading, then put the zip on your Micro SD card and rename it EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip. restart going into recovery and it should flash it.

I have a me301t, basically the same as a tf300t right? (there is no me301t forum right now). I am on 4.2.1 stock (root), but the Bluetooth isn't working, so I am wanting to reflash the stock firmware. I want to keep a locked bootloader, so I can still have warranty if I please. I've looked up a couple of videos of how to, but I am wondering if root will mess up the flashing process. I've also been wondering if I can keep root after flash with Voodoo root keeper. Any advice?

Dear all users of TF300T.
If you are using Stock ROM (Rooted/Non Rooted) and are bricked or stuck on ASUS boot screen. Then this guide is for you.
As i was using stock ROM (ROOTED) with Locked boot loader without custom recovery and my tf300t was Sofbricked due to wrong configurations at Display Pixel scaling and also reformat did not work for me.!
So i thought to create this guide which may help people out here It worked for me Try your LUCK.
Sorry if i am re posting i did not got any guides out here...
If this helped you please give me a Thumbs up.!
Steps:-
1. Download the latest ROM from ASUS website Which matches your SKU.(Important).
It would look somehing like this (TF300T-TW_epad-10_6_1_15_3-UpdateLauncher . zip)
2. Extract it and rename that file to ( EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip )
3. Now copy this new renamed file to SDCARD (Root of sd card). Put the SDcard into tablet.
4. Now Press and hold Volume Down + Power for a few seconds. Then you will see the ASUS recovery options.
5. 3 icons will appear: RCK, Android, and Wipe Data. The RCK should be flashing green. Press the UP Volume Key Once.
Now wait for a few minutes. It will flash the ROM.
And wola! Your TF300T will again work fine!!

You can't without unlocking. He means a compatible Asus ROM.
The ROM has to be signed by Asus, so that method I quoted will only work for Stock ROMS

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 can still flash the BL/TWRP package you downloaded already. It's the same as the one for CROMi-X.

Yes, you can... It is a good guide if you can follow it.. You must make sure that you have the latest bootloader and compatible TWRP.. Those are very important so you are not brick your device... Good luck and ask all the questions that you have before trying to install the TWRP and bootloader...:fingers-crossed:

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?

You have to kick it out when it is completed by using the fastboot command or just using your power button.. So you are good to go...
You have to try out all the rom and kernels that are available then choose the best one that fit your need...Good luck...
