[OBSOLETE]Workaround for 4.2.1 missing fast boot - Asus Transformer TF700

Hello, I have noticed that there is no longer a fast-boot icon on the Bootloader.
I have found a workaround for this using Cyanogenmod 10.1.
1. Go to settings > Developer Options
2. Enable advanced reboot
3. when rebooting select "Fastboot" from the menu
Also, this very but you can still select options well in fast-boot. For instance I could highlight and select recovery when in fast-boot. It seems ASUS does not want us to be able to use fast-boot.

Read the text in the upper left corner in the bootloader menu - fastboot is always on.

Sorry, I did not realize that. I just had read in many other threads that the icon was missing.

And why it says Key driver not fond.. Booting OS? what is that

When i press and hold power and volume down until you get the option:
RCK - Andriod - wipe data
up left says:
The Device is UnLocked.

Fastboot not working after NVFLASH restore, unable to upgrade to JB bootloader!

Ok guys. I really need your help now.
I tried and tried again before posting but after searching on the entire forum I've not found the solution to my problems.
The situation is as follow:
After an Nvflash Restore I'm back to ICS bootloader and firmware.
ICS firmware boot well and I'm able to use my TF300TG without problem at all on ICS.
But now I want to upgrade to JB bootloader to run ParanoidAndroid.
If I Power + Vol.Down I can read:
"The Device is UnLocked."
"Android cardhu-user bootloader <2.10 e> released by "WW_epad-9.4.4.40-20120704" A03"
"Checking for Android ota recovery"
"Checking for RCK.. press key <Vol_Up> in 5 sec to enter RCK"
The problem is that if I wait the 5 seconds without pressing any buttons the Pad don't show me any choice and go straight to the next screen:
"Platform pre os boot configuration..."
"Cold-booting Linux"
And then I'm on ICS working firmware.
I CAN'T enter in fastboot mode. I'm only able to enter in APX mode with Power + Vol.Up
And last time I was able to upgrade to JB bootloader it was via fastboot flash. All other methods have always failed.
How can I restore fastboot on my Pad?
I've tried to download the "WW_epad-user-10.4.3.9.zip" file in my sdcard and the Pad recognize the update.
But after reboot the pad goes in recovery and after a few seconds I can see the image of the droid with the red "!" signal lying on the floor.
I've tried also with "dlpkgfile" file but maybe it was not for my version of the Pad -> WW 10.4.3.9 TF300TG
I don't know what else to do..
Ok. Now I'm back on fastboot.
I've nvflash restore using a blob file of last update "WW_epad-user-10.6.2.6.zip".
This one directly boot into fastboot with Power + Vol.Down.
Unhappily the pad in this way does not reboot in JellyBean OS. It remain stuck during the second ASUS logo.
I can't go in recovery mode like this.
Only fastboot working this way but if I try to flash a blob file via fastboot the pad give me a message "insufficient memory" while trying to write the system..
Anyone can help me??

whats fastboot??
Fastboot allows you to flash surtain things (like bootloader, kernel and so on) you can get into the bootloader by pressing volume down+ power button at the same time and hold it depending on what bootloader you have you would see different icons: on the 4.1 bootloader there are 4 icons and on the 4.2 ones there are 3
so please give me this info: the bootloader version (just copy all of the stuff in the left corner of the bootloader) and what you exactly did before it "stopped working"!

Anything/????
What did you exactly do before this happend: unlocked your bootloader?, flashed a custom recovery?, flashed a custom rom?
if you DO NOT have a custom recovery or unlocked bootloader:
1: go to the bootloader (VOL- +power)
2: go to the "wipe data" option (the most right icon)
3: select it with the VOLUME+ key!
4: reboot
DO THIS ONLY IF YOU HAVE A LOCKED BOOTLOADER OR STOCK RECOVERY ELSE YOU WILL BRICK YOUR TABLET PERMANENTLY!!!!!!!!!!

The tablet is 100% standard. No custom roms
then do the following:
go to bootloader go to the furthes right icon it should be "wipe data" with an android icon above an arrow pointing to a box (or something like that )
select it with your vol up key!
WARNING: this will REMOVE all your data (excpect micro sd)

Is there no other way?
F#$k :/:/
No! If you had an unlocked BL you could backup it and you can only unlock your tab if it boots!
I am sorry!

If I'm correct, USB icon exist only on 4.0 firmware and 4.1+ have only message in top left corner that fastboot is enabled.

If you see three icons on your bootloader menu, you have a newer bootloader version than ICS. You can ckeck the bootloader version when you are in it and it is in the upper left corner with a small tiny prints. You are also already in the the fastboot mode if you are in the bootloader menu. You can check your fastboot by typing "fastboot devices" to see if your PC can communicate with your device. Good luck...:fingers-crossed:
on the top left corner writes: "key driver not found.. booting os
android cardhu-user bootloader..............
starting fastboot USB download protocol"
now where i should write "fastboot device" ?
