I was looking at the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833212
Would this also downgrade my bootloader? I'm currently on cm10.1 so JB bootloader. thanks!

As far as I know, if you flash then stock ROM, this should also include the respective bootloader. Please be careful though not to mess that! ICS bootloader can't load any JB ROM and vice versa. On a lighter note, here is how to check what version you currently have.

I'm on jellybean with 10.4.4.20 everything stock. I tried Asus' unlock tool and it fails. I've tried a few rooting with the debugfs automated root tool and it failed too. What else can I do?
downgrade to ics then root.

Unlocking is not required to downgrade. Install the firmware as described in this sticky thread:

Do you know where I can find the ICS firmware? It does not seem to be on Asus's website anymore.

There is a sticky thread in the Development subforum that has links to all firmware versions, including old ones.
Hi,
Thanks to this post (http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...5-successful-downgrade-4-1-1-hdmi-back-3.html) I managed to downgrade from 4.2.1 to 4.1.1. Now, I would like to flash the bean hydro rom or any other rom based on 4.1.1...Are they special step to follow due to the downgrade? Thanks

MAKE SURE YOU FLASH THE CORRECT RECOVERY VERSION CORRESPONDING TO THE 4.1.1 BOOTLOADER.
Sorry to all caps, but so many people have been bricking because they ignored that.
Will it be possible to bring it back to 4.2.1 stock rom?

Yes, I have been between 4.1 and 4.2 and back five times without a problem. You need to use stock rom to downgrade from 4.2 or at least that is my experience.
Downgrading you will loose apps and data. Upgrading you don't loose anything.
So today I finally decided to root my GS3 that I never took any OTA updates on.
I'm on 4.0.4 rooted and unlocked bootloader using:
[GUIDE][VZW Edition]How to root your Galaxy SIII & More!(ROMs/CWM/Stock)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
I stopped at section 3.
When reading around the forums about getting a ROM with the latest OTA onto my phone and keeping root it seemed confusing.
For now I just want an updated stock ROM. How do I do this? Which is the right thread for me to follow?
( I was considering this Stock rooted VRBMB1 4.1.2- http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2178482 )
Thanks!

The link in your post doesn't work, but the thread no. 2178482 is the same as what I used to go to 4.1.2. You may also want to grab the 4.1.2 modem and rpm from post #3.

Thanks, I'll try to fix those links soon. Are you saying all I need to do is flash that 4.1.2 rom?

Hi,
I was wondering what steps I would need to take to go from

To be able to flash into a Kitkat Stock-based ROM or KatKiss 5.0.1? I need to stick with stock based so my flashed touch firmware will stay.
If someone could link me to the proper tutorials/guides that would be great.

In order to use the new KitKat ROMs, you actually have to upgrade to the latest stock firmware (JB 4.2). The new TWRP and ROMs require the newer bootloader. I'm not that familiar with the touch firmware and how that works, but I'm not sure if that is upgradable too?
First OTA to 4.2, then install any recovery (see Question and answer section) and then flash ROM.
