No idea about the toolkits, since I've never needed it. If you dont want to risk bricking your device via bad toolkits, you can check out how to get nvflash (sorta like fastboot, but not) working on your device directly and use that to flash alternate recovery:
http://androidroot.mobi/2012/05/27/introducing-wheelie-nvflash-for-asus-transformer-tf101-b70/
As for ROM...
I recommend my CM10.1 builds. Stable. Has nightly builds if you want a constant stream of updates. About as fast as this device gets. Certainly much better than anything stock has to offer.
I would also recommend Timduru's Team EOS ROM. He does a fantastic job maintaining it and has rapid updates as well. It's not CM. It's Team EOS. It's different.
Both are 4.2-based. Try both and see which one you like

I know that PERI still works to install CWM, and also EasyFlasher works to root in APX mode.
The last time I flashed back to stock I used Wolf's Method 3 to root so I could jump straight to TWRP 2.3.2.3.
PERI installs a version of CWM. If you are going to run any 4.2 ROMs, you should use TWRP 2.3.2.3 or RaymanFX's 6.X.X.X recoveries to handle the new multi-user file structure.
EasyFlasher flashes 2.2.X.X TWRP. You can just replace the TWRP blob in the file structure with the 2.3.2.3 if you want and flash straight to 2.3.2.3.
I have gotten more into using adb and terminal commands with working on some boot animations, so I used Wolf's method to jump straight to TWRP.

Thank you guys

Sure.
I would still use TWRP myself, but you can just load the files you want to flash on the /sdcard/ directory.
I know that TWRP will not wipe the /sdcard/ directory unless you wipe the data partition. A factory reset in recovery only wipes the /data/ partition and skips the /data/media/ partition (/sdcard/).
Keep in mind, if you do not have a microSD and you get to a point where you cannot boot other than to recovery, you will need to use adb to push a zip file to the /sdcard/ to flash it.
IMO, it is worth the $10-$15 to get a small (4-16 GB) microSD to do nandroid backups and make it easier to flash ROMs.
Also, many of the CWM recoveries can only see the /sdcard/. I know that the RaymanFX Hybrid CWM 6.X.X.X has a few versions, Internal only, External Only and Hybrid (can see both internal and external) storage.

Thx.. yea ive been using nexus devices forever so ive lost all my micro sd lol

You need to hold those keys until the splash screen comes.
When it tells you to press vol up to boot recovery you release per +boom down and just press vol up.
It should then tell you it is boring recovery before the twrp spak screen appears.

I would get rid of ROM Manager IMO. Don't flash CWM with ROM Manager if you haven't done so.
Use this to get into recovery

I just installed it to see and it work for me.
Booted into recovery, I remember a few weeks back there was an update to RM
which made boot into recovery work.
Like Kadin stated, it's not much use for the TF right now IMO.

Question regarding recent guide posted in general for upgrading and rooting

I should have posted this in qa sorry.
OK I couldn't figure out after reading so I'll ask...
I'm on jb, locked bootloader, all stock. My goal is to simply get root back, no custom ROM.
Treat my question as if I just took it out of the box running jb.
If I simply unlock the bootloader and follow step 3, will that do the job, or am I missing something?
URL to the guide I speak of... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30516010

Can't follow link from my phone, but if yourw talking about Krabappel's guide then yes, just follow the directions after JB is installed and you are solid. Unlock bootloader, Flash recovery, flash root. Just did it and I was locked and stock with the OTA JB update

OK I've taken the plunge but having a slight problem...
Unlock good
Flash cwm recovery good..
Booted into recovery good..
Installing superuser zip bad... it seems cwm can't mount /sdcard. I'm using internal storage to try and do this. I have no external card. I saw an option to try and mount /sdcard but it simply said error mounting when I tried it. What should I do about this?

TF101 reboots automatically and returns to CWM, can only start with coldboot!

Strange situation, after some time my TF101 reboots itself and it returns to Clockwordmod recovery.
I installed an app that I read here somewhere to lock that it doesn't reset itself but it still does...
This evening i'll try to flash another rom, would this solve it?
Anyone knows the link to CWM touch recovery zipfile ?
Thanks!

Install twrp 2.2.x... either you can download or push it using easy flash through nvflash... in any case install a recovery, wipe everything (factory rest) including internal memory, data, dalvik.. do a complete reinstallation of you preferred ROM... good luck

CWM Recovery?

Does anyone by chance have the MD5 file of the most recent CWM?
I've heard and seen tons of people linking to the site imnuts for it, but every time I go there, the site seems to of either been removed or changed for one of those quickly made search query sites...
Also, does anyone know if the Recovery will work on the lastest FP8A update? I was using a recovery from August and it's not going through for some reason... I figure something to do with how ODIN is signing the update on the device or something...
You have to flash it with auto reboot off and then boot straight into cwm and root. Then you can delete the file that overwrites cwm and flash cwm again.

You can get the 0302 version of CWM here. It's is what I installed on my phone just yesterday.
https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B9-XlcbZHKscXzVmRmFMcUVXcTA/edit?usp=sharing
I also dropped my copy of Odin in as well. Everything worked as it should - EP4, FP1, FP5 and FP8.
Be careful restoring backups with that version though. By that I just mean it doesn't like to restore your nandroids. The Orange Text Version seems to work well for restoring though.

Well, I never knew that about CWM. Never understood what the mounts were for. I thought they were to mount it on the phone. Now I see you can use them to edit your phone via PC. Yay for learning!

[REF] List of Custom Recoveries (3-08-14)

Custom Recoveries​
This is the most recent list of recoveries for the SCH-i535 Verizon galaxy S3. I will be keeping this up to date to make it easier to find the most recent recoveries for our device.
Installation
CWM and TWRP are .img files and are easiest to install from EZ Recovery or Flashify apps from the play store.
​EZ-Recovery
​Flashify
Philz is installed by either using odin to flash the .tar.md5 file or by flashing the zip in recovery.
Safestrap is installed through an application.
I don't hold any responsibility of what happens to your phone due to flashing these.
Clockworkmod Recovery
Clockworkmod 6.0.4.3 - 10-21-13
Clockworkmod 6.0.4.5 - 1-1-14
Clockworkmod Touch Recovery
Clockworkmod Touch 6.0.4.3 - 10-21-13
Clockworkmod Touch 6.0.4.5 - 1-1-14
TWRP Recovery
TWRP Recovery 2.6.3.0 - 10-21-13
TWRP Recovery 2.6.3.1 - 11-24-13
TWRP Recovery 2.7.0.0 - 3-08-14
Philz Touch Recovery
Advanced CWM Recovery
Philz Touch Recovery 5 - v. 5.15.0 - CWM 6.0.3.7 - 10-21-13
Philz Touch Recovery 6 - v. 6.15.4 - CWM 6.0.4.7 - 2-13-14
Safestrap Recovery
Only use on VRUCML1 base! Modified TWRP with sdcard partitioning ability for custom roms on locked bootloaders.
Safestrap Recovery - TWRP 2.6.3.1 - 1-10-14
Updating the Update-Binary
If you receive a status 7 error when flashing a zip in recovery, pull the update binary from the latest CM nightly. This should be resolved in Philz Recovery as it automatically works around it, but may throw errors in the latest CWM recovery.
Here's how to replace the file:
Unzip the folder
Navigate to META-INF/com/google/android
Replace the older update-binary with the newer one
rezip
This will allow files to flash on the newer recoveries until all developers update the binary on their own zips, or a fix is in place.
I want to thank @andybones for giving me this idea, and giving me permission to make an updated thread.
I also want to thank all the developers of these great recoveries.
I don't always have time to check and see when these are updated, so if someone could reply to this thread or PM me when there's an update that would be great. I'll provide a link for it and update the thread.
Thank you ever since i flashed an aosp rom and created that stupid 0/ folder i javent been able to flash a new recovery. Stuck on TWRP 2.6.0.0 for months

I used flashify to upgrade my recovery from TWRP 2.5.0 to 2.6.3 just fine.
Sent from my Verizon Wireless Samsung Galaxy SIII, via Tapatalk.
Flashify works fine, I just recommend ez recovery because the interface is very simple and it's made for flashing recoveries only.
It's also made for this specific phone model only and it flashes recoveries more reliably and without any hiccups that I've seen with other recovery apps. I think it's very well made despite it being over a year old.

Sometimes it does that, I usually flash from my internal card and that fixes the problem, try moving the file and try again.
You can tell it was successful because it takes a second to flash, if it doesn't work the notification flash successful will come up instantaneously.

It doesn't even show up from the internal SD card when I'm in recovery. I've tried using ez and flashify and both say the same thing but same results. I've even tried downloading it from the website and it won't even download the img file

Some browsers don't download the file properly, I use Chrome and it works. You should be able to move it to your internal SD card, find it by hitting the ellipses next to custom, and flash it.
If you still can't do it, there's a tar file on their website that you can use to ODIN flash.

Does anybody know of a recovery that will work with a new Verizon GS3? I just got an insurance replacement that is brand new. I can't find a recovery that will mount the internal or external SD card. I was able to root, unlock the bootloader, and install a custom recovery but neither TWRP or CWM will mount the SD cards (or any partitions that I can tell).
It sounds like the guys with the Sprint GS3 have figured it out and I'm wondering if anybody has a modified recovery for the Verizon GS3. Here's the Sprint forum about this issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391616
