Im sorry if this has already been asked but I am on the fence of buying a tablet for work and ive narrowed it down to the Nexus 7 and the TF300. Im 99.9% sure I am going to be buying the TF300 ($100 more than the 16GB N7, but it has 2x the memory, 10", mHDMI out, and sdCard, no brainer). However I was wondering how the updates are from ASUS and when we could expect Jelly Bean?
Asus tends to be on top of things when it comes to updates in a timely manner. Although I wouldn't base your decision soley on jelly bean. As with any android version update, there are going to be bugs and app compatibility issues that has to be ironed out at first. Then android manufacturers have to tweak the source code and kernels to work with their roms. Then they have to iron out the bugs then. Any products of 2012 will most likely see jelly bean eventually. Newest isn't always the best. Especially when it comes to OS and software.

The N7 will be the priority for the short term. Once sales tail off then they can focus on the T700. They'll get to us promptly but not a priority. Yes, just IMO....

I understand the hype with jellybean. But when did ICS become an old outdated OS?

put it this way
ICS is to JB what Vista was to Win7
(on most devices)
and that is the problem with Android, too many versions out at the same time that work perfectly well on the devices they are installed on

As soon as I loaded it on my Galaxy Nexus.
ICS is great, but JB is waayyyy better, imo.
I would think that since the Nexus 7 was built by Asus that they would have a leg up on getting updates out. Especially since they stick close to vanilla on their roms
Android 4.1 Source now in AOSP
Jelly Bean source is being released today to AOSP Per Jean-Baptiste Queru the Technical Lead for the Android Open Source Project at Google...

What's replacing flash?
Nothing is replacing Flash. Flash doesn't need to be replaced. It needs to die and be forgotten. If your favorite websites still use Flash instead of proper HTML5, they need to get with the times and dump the resource- and bandwidth-hogging abomination known as Adobe Flash. E-mail them, and let them know that they need to update their $#!t.
I'm new here and an android newbee. I purchased an Asus tf300t a few day ago and have been reading up on all the cool ways it can be modded.
I've already rooted and overclocked it.
Is there a way that I can install JB on it as it's already rooted?

Yea when it comes out u will be able to update with no problem...or u could just flash a 4.1 Rom

Once rooted, can it be upgraded via the official method (from Asus)? I just bought TF300 and waiting for it in the mail, so excited
Yes, a rooted TF300T can still receive OTAs. But you may lose root access after applying it, so use VooDoo OTA RootKeeper to backup.

I followed all the instruction and tried to flash the CM10 Jelly Bean update but got Status 7 errors twice and had to restore my backup twice...
Hey everyone, I am not really familiar with rooting tablets, only phones.
A year ago, or something I rooted my Desire z, and was really happy with everything and the new features and ROM's I could flash.
But, how can you root an tablet?
And also, where could I find a tutorial on rooting the Asus TF101 ?
And after that, I was wondering what the most stable jellybean ROM is, with the most features working, I only use it for surfing the web, using apps, playing games and not really anything more than that, so if for example the radio does not work, I don't really mind.
As long as it's stable, and faster than stock!
My last question : Is it smart to root a tablet? Because phone's are sometimes out-dated, and you can root them and update the software with a custom ROM, but do tablets really depend on this software ? Or is it just rootable and still everything inside the tablet (hardware) works?
Regards!

So they are actually supporting rooting your device?
PS: Do you have any link to a tutorial, about rooting :fingers-crossed:
Also one more question : when rooting tablets, is there the same difference as with phones ? S-off, etc?
Regards
Anyone could help me out, please?
Kind regards
I don't remember which method I used for rooting (it was sooo long ago ). But check this thread out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688447.
As for JB rom, I recommend Team EOS 3, it's super smooth and works great! I also use TWRP recovery.
I used the same root method as mentioned above and it was very easy to do. Follow instructions. If I remember correctly you will have to check which model you have. Should be on a sticker near the connector port on the bottom. As for jelly bean I have never tried. But loving Revolver ICS.
Good Luck

For root try PERI tool or 1click rooting tools, I'm using the AOSP JB rom , pretty smooth so far.
Sent from my Transformer using xda app-developers app
As mentioned before there are many ways to root the tablet, and they are all great.
About JB ROMs, I tried them all and they are pretty much stable and even faster the ICS ROMs. I found Team EOS to be the most stable and battery friendly and I'm currently using their latest build(72) which is just great!

Hello,
As i'm not new to android i'm to the TF300T.
I have at the moment [ROM]ASU-JellyBean-Hydro 2.8-(9/11) Project melted butter smooooth installed and i realize the Tablet uses the Jelly Bean Bootloader. But my question is how do i get from this rom to Cyanogenmod 10? I googled and searched this forum but i just can't find it.
I came from ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T Firmware: V10.4.2.9 Only for WW SKU (Android 4.1) - 2012.08.28 firmware.
u can't at the moment.

Yes but i thought i read somewhere that you can downgrade your bootloader and mayby going from stock jb back to stock ics

I'm pretty sure that at this point there's no way to downgrade the bootloader. Hopefully ROMs like CM10 will update the kernel so it works with the new bootloader, but we'll have to wait and see.
the CM10 dev just wrote that he already got CWM flashed on the JB bootloader. He is trying with the new kernel, to get it boot on JB and Ics

Hello xda-developers,
I'm considering switching to "CleanROM Inheritance 3.2". Right now I'm running the CM10.1 nightly "2013-01-22" and I was wondering If I'm actually able to do so, because the CleanRom-Thread says I'd need the "Official Asus Jellybean 4.1.1 bootloader".
I'm unsure If I can actually switch ROMs because I thought the bootloader is not changeable and will always stay the same for one device. (Probably wrong, I guess?)
Could you please tell me if this is possible? And if yes how to get the 4.1.1 bootloader. (I'm using a 4.2 rom right now - so I have a 4.2 bootloader, right?)
Thanks in advance!
If you can install CM 10.1 on your device, then CleanROM 3.2 should not be a problem. Iv done that several times
And, 4.1 and 4.2 bootloaders are the same, maybe with some slight changes, not really sure about this one )

Great, report back when you got it installed. I recommend you use one of the Clemsyn kernels, dosent really mather which one, but i use the 1.8GHz one )).
You aren't on JB 4.2.1 Bootloader, becouse now it's impossible. Asus haven't unlocked our bootloader in 100%. You can't install custom bootloaders and APX is locked on unlocked JB bootloader. On the forum will be petition to Asus unlock 100% our bootloaders, to we could install for example Custom bootloaders, and our device will be unbrickable with NVflash access. The newest bootloader for TF300T is JB 4.1.1. I think that if you installed Cyanogenmod 10.1, you're on JB bootloader. Were you on JB or ICS, when you were unlocking your bootloader? It's very difficult to install Offical Asus OTA update on unlocked bootloader, becouse many people breaks their devices when they do it.

He had to be on JB bootloader because otherwise he would not have CleanROM installed, which is JB. If he was on ICS and flashed CleanROM he would automaticly install the JB bootloader (might be wrong on this one)

No, if you wanted to upgrade bootloader, You would have to flash offical Asus OTA, there isn't another way.

Ah okay great, thanks for the clarification. I'm running cleanRom now and it works like a charm. Thanks to everyone!
Have you flashed CleanROM over the Cyanogenmod 10? Did you format System? I think that flashing CROMI over CM10 was a bad idea, becouse CM isn't Stock base as CleanROM. If I were you, I would flash at the begining Asus JB OTA from Asus website.

There is nothing to worry about, as i said i have done this several times, but as you say do a factory reset before flashing is allways a good idea.

Hello I have a asus tf300tl jelly beans 4.2.1 (build 10.6.2.3). I noticed that the majority of Roms require 10.6.1.15.3 or 10.6.1.27.1. Can I install thats roms . Thanks in advance
I dont think so, because the TWRP or CWM isn't compatible with the TL. You will have to check with the ROM makers. I think the Grimlock developer is working on something for TL.
