Looking to apply the latest update manually. On stock (10.4.4.25), rooted, and unlocked. Anyone run into any problems with this setup?

Sorry, forgot to mention my TWRP is up to date, and my bootloader is stock bootloader as of last update.
Just about everything I've read has to do with OTAs, and there isn't much clear about manual updates, thus any positive experiences or more information on the manual update experiences is welcome.

Go to sbdags stock 4.2.1 thread, flash the 4.2.1 boot loader and TWRP 2.5 zip, then flash the 4.2.1 stock rooted and you should be good. You must be on AT LEAST TWRP 2.4.4.

The RAM widget shows less RAM usage, which can't be bad.

Minus at least 100 from the system app, it would be more accurate. ATM I am only using 365 out of 970 on Tickerster Mod which shows the accurate amount of RAM usage.

Since I think asus is releasing JB for the tf201 tommorow. We should keep an eye on that device forum to see if it makes any major difference from ics.
Users in the TF201 section are actually reporting that it has already been released for them. No reports as to how it is so far though, since it like... Just got released lol.

It has to be smooth and noticeable, it has to be 4.1.1 and it has to be running 3.1.10 kernel since Linux4Tegra is now based on 3.1.10
Well this just makes me more excited! I'm thinking of doing a full system reset and then installing JB. Worth it?

Think I just read something about factory resetting before accepting 4.1.
Good reminder though, I'm going to do that too.
Do a factory reset *after* the JB update.

i'm sticking with your wonderful ROM, because I know that you will be incorporating the goodies into your next builds, but just out of curiosity, why should you factory reset after the JB update and not before?

There's no reason in doing a factory restore before the update (at least for those with clean stock and original build.prop but) but it's good for everyone to factory reset after the OTA because you will start with fresh&clean Jelly Bean. Just make sure you backup your apps before reset.
Edit: If someone will provide the dlpkgfile when the OTA start rolling i will try to provide an update. zip for those with unlocked bootloader and custom recovery.

Recently traded in my iPad for the TF700 and I can say I am indeed pleased with my decision, however I am new to the community and have been recently searching for a method to install CleanROM to make my user experience even better, or as it so claims. So far after reading through a couple of guides I have been able to unlock and permanently void my ASUS warranty, which I am okay with. I'm not sure if I'm rooted or not (lol) but I tried running SuperSU and it said something about not being able to write into the binary files so I guess I'm not. Anyways heres a quick breakdown of what I've done and what I'm hoping to accomplish.
TF700 32 GB
I got the OTA update for JellyBean 4.1.1
I didn't do anything until now so I guess you could say I got the tablet with Jellybean installed on it vanilla.
Unlocked Successfully.
Flashed CWM recovery but for some reason when I try to enter from the boot loader menu the screen just flashes on and off. I've transferred the clean rom zip into the root of my device already. anyone know the problem? Thanks!
you need to root it. let me see if i can find the thread that has all the steps.

If you've unlocked the bootloader then you don't need to root, just install custom recovery and flash the ROM of choice...

I think I know where the little confusion comes from: you need root access to install TWRP from GooManager, but not for flashing anything from recovery.
So, if you've unlocked the bootloader and flashed CWM already, you're all set to flash CleanROM. As you should know, you will end up with a pre-rooted OS, so there's no need to follow through with anything other than customizing to your liking in-OS.

In all probability, that thread is indeed the best place to start from, no matter what your issue or question may be. It's getting pretty comprehensive.
What is the current version of CleanROM
I have done a little research and CleanROM appears to be recognized as fast, stable, and not having issues with assorted features (i.e. GPS, camera, etc.). I have had a hard time finding what the most current version is, what Android version it is based on (i.e. 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.2.1, etc.). Is there an offcial site, including downloads someone can point me towards? Thanks.

The most recent version is CleanROM Inheritance 3.0.3. plus the v.3.0.4 patch; it's based on ASUS's stock Android v4.1.1. ROM.

hi, First I want to describe my problem. Many of tf700 users had update failure when jb came out and I am one of them. I used my tablet with ics until today. I want to update it to jb. I already read some manuel updating guides but no luck I couldnt get it worked. Even followed the guide about dmclient etc. And many of these guides they are redirecting me to asus website for jb firmware. In asus site when choosing OS there is no OS to be selected ! I dont know why. I am on .30 version of ics. Thanks in advance

OK, so you have a lot of options, do you want to run custom rom?? it's a night and day between custom rom and stock. If you are unlocked, there is NO REASON to stay with stock rom!!!
Yeah I unlocked for it but you know whats my problem. I can flash ics custom roms I know. Is there a way update to jb with twrp ? Or what do you recommend me to do
For example can I directly flash cleanrom while i am not on jb ?

with twrp you could flash full stock JB firmware (included JB bootloader), or just flash independant JB bootloader, then flash cleanrom. The easiest way is flash JB bootloader then Cleanrom. Make sure your twrp is either version 2.3.10 or newer.
JB bootloader and cleanrom can be found here:

The bootloader is not the problem, your user data folder is. You might have to move it to the relevant location manually.

It is sometimes relocated to /data/media/0 or sometimes it is just a soft link /storage/emulated/legacy. I may be wrong, but it looks that way.
how exactly would one go about doing this... i've heard both thte it can work with a locked bootloader and the you need to have an unlocked bootloader versions. i've tried one method suggested here at xda but to no avail. can someone who has actually done it (with a locked bootlader) shed some light?
I'm on the brink of unlocking the bootloader on my TF300T (shipped with ICS; got it December 2012), but wanted to verify a couple things before taking the plunge.
I understand that OTA updates from Asus will no longer work. I also see that Asus has all their firmware updates available for direct download from their website - aside from losing root, are there any reasons why I can't use those manual updaters?
I read the "don't install CM10 yet on the 4.2 bootloader" sticky, so I'm not even going to try CM10 yet (although I saw an unofficial CM10.1 is compatible). Once it's compatible, is it worth flashing? I use CM on my phone (HTC Evo 4G) because I don't like Sense (and would have been stuck with Gingerbread!), but on the TF300T, Asus's ROM is generally pretty decent, so what is the advantage (if any)?
Right now, all I want to do is:
Unlock the bootloader using the official Asus APK
Install recovery using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982
Root the stock ROM using the same thread
I've looked through the warning threads and most recent stuff here on XDA. Is there anything else I need to worry about, or does the above-referenced thread have me covered?
Anyone? I just want to make CERTAIN I'm covered before I take the plunge...

Well you can root without unlocking if that's all you want to do. You'll get much more benefit unlocking and flashing a custom ROM though.
That guide has it all covered.
I thought with JB and the 4.2 bootloader, you had to unlock to root? Is that not true?
Everything I've seen about rooting indicates that you have to be running ICS to root; JB blocks the previous exploit that was used for rooting.

Bought the TF300 three days ago. Installed all OTA updates, latest bootloader. Rooted with Motofail, seems fine so far.

Is there a particular ROM that's better than the stock JB? I especially like the built-in performance widgets in the notification bar in Asus's ROM. That being said, I could do without the crapware...
