Root 4.2.1 - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, my tablet is on the stock 4.2.1 and is unlocked. Somebody know how to root this one and put CWM ?

You might be able to use MOTOCHOPPER, then use TWRP recovery. Better recovery. flash 2.4.4.0 JB. You can find the instruction on how to flash the recovery on their website. http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2
Hope this helps

DO NOT FLASH THE JB VERSION!!!!! Flash the TWRP version that ends with "-4.2", NOT "-JB" or you will brick!

you need the stock recovery for installing OTAs,
flash the stock recovery and install the OTA (you dont need to relock your bootloader)
after installing the OTA you can flash your custom recovery back again.
It could be that you will loose your root after installing the OTA so you have to root your phone again.
I dont have any experience with root-keeper etc. so I cant tell you anything about it.
you will find the stock recovery for the One S C2 here:

[Q] loading stock firmware without screwing custom recovery

Hi... im currently running
CROMi-X v5.2.2, which is based on rom 10.6.1.27.5 with twrp 2.5.0.0 and my bootloader says is the one that came with us10.6.1.15.3-20130416...
To install omni kitkat, im been asked to have the latest bootloader, to avoid screwing up im planning on insalling the latest stock from asus...
However, each time i install a stock through twrp or cwr, the new image not only updates the bootloader and deletes all my data, but rewrites my recovery, for which then i have too reupload using fastboot to upload the recovery...
Is there any way to make sure i dont loose the recovery after flashing a stock firmware... or a way to flash the recovery from the recovery before rebooting after flashing the stock?
Thanks everyone!

Flashing the stock ROM reverts the tablet back to stock, so the recovery must go. Luckily, the bootloader you are on is compatible with the KitKat recovery (10.6.1.15.3) so you shouldnt have to flash the stock ROM at all. If you were on 10.6.1.8, you would have had to upgrade.

Asked the same question about my bootloader at the omni thread to be sure, if they say that it works too, will go ahead and give it a try

Downgrade & nvflash question

Hi,
I am currently running Zombi-pop 5.02 B4 and has TWRP 2.8.7 Kang on my TF700T. I would like to have nvflash access, can I downgrade to a JB stock version that allows such access? and if yes which stock rom and which boot loader?
many thanks

You don't need to downgrade, you can install the flatline recovery, pull your blobs, then reinstall TWRP.

Really, this is helpful. I was under the impression that a stock JB boot loader is required for nvflash to work. I shall give it a try and report back.
Many thanks
I have successfully done the nvflash access and generated the blobs for my TF700T and stored them in triplicates. My question now is that I have been left with AndroidRoot 10.6.1.14.4 bootloader and a primitive flatline recovery, can I flash TWRP Kang 2.8.6.0 back without problem?
many thanks once again.
Congrats! Yes, flash TWRP kang, reboot, then flash the stock bootloader from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=55238386&postcount=3
Reboot
All is good
Flatline CWM recovery couldn't flash the zips for bootloader and TWRP Kang, so I flashed the TWRP img via fstboot first, then booted into TWRP recovery and flashed the bootloader zip and it worked fine, no bricking whatsoever.

Your on a locked bootloader. You can't flash a custom recovery, the only option you have is safestrap. You also cannot flash custom roms
