Excuse my noob-ness.
I'm under the impression that, in order to upgrade to a cm10.1 Nightly rom, I need to change my recovery? But in doing that, there's a somewhat lengthy process... can someone show me how flash a jb rom without a potential bricking?

Pretty sure that you are gonna want to upgrade to a JB bootloader first. Flashing a JB ROM on a ICS bootloader will probably result in a bricked tablet. Just changing the recovery won't work either.
Be be careful with the bootloader you flash too. There aren't many ROMS that run on the newest 4.2 yet. Pretty sure you're gonna need to flash 4.1. I don't run CM10 so you will want to verify the information but I'm pretty sure I'm correct.
A good place to get good info on what is needed to run CM10 is in the CM10 nightlies thread.

I finally got my replacement Infinity from Best Buy and it seems like its a keeper Given that some decent looking JB roms have appeared I am going to unlock. I am having some indecision about which recovery to use before the flash-fest begins.
I use TWRP on all of my other devices but after reading the thread in the dev section I am a little hesitant about using it on my TF700. Specifically, it seems like some people have been having problems restoring because TWRP doesn't deal with restoring /boot properly. I had exactly the same problem with my Prime and all of my TWRP nandroids were useless without flashing a kernel after restoring. This is a bit of a problem if this happens with the TF700 since there are no custom kernels available yet.
These are my questions:
- How common are the problems with restoring TWRP nandroids? Can most people successfully restore with TWRP?
- How well does CWM perform? Looking at the thread it seems like it works just fine or am I missing something?
I appreciate all of your input. Thanks!

To be honest i have the same problem with CWM ,it doesn't restore /boot so you can't switch between various roms by just just restoring your backups.This beeing said i didn't had any issue with TWRP and so far is more user friedly than CWM.

I have been using TWRP exclusively and have been going back and forth between 4 different roms, restoring from each, and have had zero issues. I believe the problems reported related to those who had flashed the TF300 JB update and replaced their bootloader with one for TF300. If they hadn't made a full nandroid prior, I think they were stuck with that bootloader until the most recent .30 ota update. I could be wrong, but I think these issues you heard about were related to the TF300 bootloader.

Thanks okantomi. I'll try TWRP but keep the stock rom on /sdcard in case of emergency. Now, which rom shall I try...decisions, decisions

Of the JellyBean Roms, the 9/14 versions of Baked Black Bean and the CM10alpha work well, but the latest version of CM10 (9/18) won't boot all the way into the os. Hiemashu is working on it. Also the TEAM EOS Jellybean has issues (random reboots and newest doesn't boot). My best recommendation would be to flash the ZEUS v4.0 ICS Rom. It's complete and nice and fast. You won't be sorry. Read all of the OPs and follow instructions. Have fun!
The problem with CWM can be solved quite easily. It doesn't restore the kernel properly. So therefore you have to flash the kernel after you restored.

Are there flashable kernels out there that I have missed or are you talking about flashing the stock kernel blob with fastboot?

Hi guys i've been looking through the forums and i have noticed that the tf700 users can flash our roms! I was wondering did anyone try flashing one of their roms with our device?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using XDA Premium HD app
Just checked over there we have more updated roms anyway there development seems slow that why they have to port ours lol.
Sent from my SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
I agree but in the long run development for their device should pick up and surpass the development we have for ours. So if we find a way to use there roms it will lengthen the amount of content for our tablet.
BUMP! I'd like to get an answer to this as well. It seems that everything is the same other then an LED. Has any tried flashing one of their Roms?
I flashed the TF700 Stock Rom Was trying to get back to ICS. Stock flashed and was running. But then you have the tf700 bootloader
So you can flash them.

Why isn't it possible to flash ics bootloader after having installed jb bootloader? I have done the opposite on other devices

Because Asus has given us a new bootloader which asks for a special signiture in the rom you are flashing. ICS don´t have them, so it is not possible.

Although I thank you for the answer, my question wasn't why we can't flash ICS ROMS, my question is why we can't flash ICS bootloaders in order to be able to flash ICS ROMS.

becouse recovery too has this signature - basically the difference between an ics custom recovery and a jb custom recovery is that they copied the jb kernel to the latter, or it wont work too.
its a new security feature that google added to jb but asus is using it in a weird way, once you do a jb upgrade you wont be able to run any kernel without this feature, which is not supported by ics.
there must be a way ... i want to flash CM9
I'm not sure why would you want an ICS ROM in Jelly Bean era.
Check out this thread, it's the best JB ROM I've tried.

Can't you flash CM10 on JB bootloader?

Hi
Im currently running CleanRom 3. I want to try out the new Cyanogenmod 4.2. In the description it says CWM, but i use TWRP [latest one i think]. Is it possible to install it without installing clockwork?
No U can't. Cyanogenmod after succesfull instlling, will modify CWM recovery. If you had TWRP, It would hard brick your Tablet. I'm not Quite Sure, but everyone installs CM on CWM. You'd better be carefull if you don't want to have very expensive desk.
Sorry, becouse my english isn't very well, I hope I helped you.
I use Twrp 2.2.2 all the time and. No issues with any of the 4.2 roms.
Yes you can use twrp. Just make sure you use the latest version add that is fixed for multi user support introduced with 4.2 jelly bean. Goto twrp website to make sure you have the latest. That guy in the first reply is wrong saying you have to use cwm.

if im not mistaken, first you should update official asus 4.2.1 to get newer bootloader before flashing 4.2. based energyROM.
i belive now you have 4.1.1 bootloader, right?
edit: nevermind, missed the cm10.1 -part..

Check the md5sum of the ROM...something may be corrupt
you must first update to 4.2.1 bootloader before you can flash roms based on the 4.2.1 bootloader, silly.

No it runs on the 4.1.1 boot loader. Just cuz its android 4.2.2 does NOT mean that its runs on Asus 4.2.1.
