Hello there,
Since the TF300 and the TF700 are almost identical I was wondering if some CM10. 1based ROMs (PAC-man ROM) can be flashed on the TF700? Does anyone have some experience in this (or with any other TF300 based ROM -> Hydro ROM) ?

If the kernel is a pure TF300 one at worst it won't boot, at best it'll boot but you may have some issues like no USB, camera, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc
You could flash a working TF700 kernel and a TF300 ROM and test it?

What is the best option to restore my old system configuration if the flashing of a TF300 ROM may go haywire? Making a TRWP backup and restoring it?

Yep exactly that
Op. Did you try this? Did it work?
I tried and they boot, just no WiFi. I'm sure there are other things, but the no WiFi stopped me.

I finally got my replacement Infinity from Best Buy and it seems like its a keeper Given that some decent looking JB roms have appeared I am going to unlock. I am having some indecision about which recovery to use before the flash-fest begins.
I use TWRP on all of my other devices but after reading the thread in the dev section I am a little hesitant about using it on my TF700. Specifically, it seems like some people have been having problems restoring because TWRP doesn't deal with restoring /boot properly. I had exactly the same problem with my Prime and all of my TWRP nandroids were useless without flashing a kernel after restoring. This is a bit of a problem if this happens with the TF700 since there are no custom kernels available yet.
These are my questions:
- How common are the problems with restoring TWRP nandroids? Can most people successfully restore with TWRP?
- How well does CWM perform? Looking at the thread it seems like it works just fine or am I missing something?
I appreciate all of your input. Thanks!

To be honest i have the same problem with CWM ,it doesn't restore /boot so you can't switch between various roms by just just restoring your backups.This beeing said i didn't had any issue with TWRP and so far is more user friedly than CWM.

I have been using TWRP exclusively and have been going back and forth between 4 different roms, restoring from each, and have had zero issues. I believe the problems reported related to those who had flashed the TF300 JB update and replaced their bootloader with one for TF300. If they hadn't made a full nandroid prior, I think they were stuck with that bootloader until the most recent .30 ota update. I could be wrong, but I think these issues you heard about were related to the TF300 bootloader.

Of the JellyBean Roms, the 9/14 versions of Baked Black Bean and the CM10alpha work well, but the latest version of CM10 (9/18) won't boot all the way into the os. Hiemashu is working on it. Also the TEAM EOS Jellybean has issues (random reboots and newest doesn't boot). My best recommendation would be to flash the ZEUS v4.0 ICS Rom. It's complete and nice and fast. You won't be sorry. Read all of the OPs and follow instructions. Have fun!
The problem with CWM can be solved quite easily. It doesn't restore the kernel properly. So therefore you have to flash the kernel after you restored.

Just checked over there we have more updated roms anyway there development seems slow that why they have to port ours lol.
Sent from my SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
I agree but in the long run development for their device should pick up and surpass the development we have for ours. So if we find a way to use there roms it will lengthen the amount of content for our tablet.
BUMP! I'd like to get an answer to this as well. It seems that everything is the same other then an LED. Has any tried flashing one of their Roms?
I flashed the TF700 Stock Rom Was trying to get back to ICS. Stock flashed and was running. But then you have the tf700 bootloader
So you can flash them.

It is listed as one of the features of cleanrom to zip align on boot. I have read that when apps are zip aligned that performance is better.

I'm sorry if you haven't previously been on cleanrom or one of the others that uses zipalign then I don't know the reason for your issue.
I'll try to do some poking around to emulate the problem. Stock, which version? I run 10.4.2.18 as my baseline rom and have never seen your issue. What rom were you on previously?
I'll flash your previous setup and then your current to recreate the issue!

Well it started when I use energy ROM, but then I move to stock ROM .18 then .20. Both .18 and .20 when I wipe cache and dalvik cache once then it started...Maybe it's because I have official zip (.20) in my eternal memory... But I don't think that's the problem. Now I'm using CM10.1.

Good, I'm glad you have managed to lose the problem. I have not been able to create the issue with energy rom. After flashing I don't have the problem or zipalign. I flashed both the regular and the debloated without an issue but as I said I don't find zipalign in the rom even though it is stated as a feature.

if im not mistaken, first you should update official asus 4.2.1 to get newer bootloader before flashing 4.2. based energyROM.

I'm wondering what is the benefit to using a custom ROM on the Atrix 2? I've been eyeballing the dirty unicorn ROM, but honestly the stock ROM seems to work well enough. With my kindle fire it was an obvious choice as I hated the stock ROM, but other than a few missing features the Atrix 2 seems just fine. What's you guys thoughts?

more options, less bloatware, runs faster, and more stable, actual suupport that you dont get from motorola.
along with a cleaner look, but thats all opinion.
Basically the same reason for all devices. Stock just sucks.

If you like stock ICS, but are considering a custom ROM then you should try NUMA.
It's still ICS, but it's a huge upgrade from the Motorola ICS, and because it is stock based it's the only custom ROM that has all the hardware features working. That said, since the breakthrough with Kexec, I have flashed every JB ROM here and they're all great in their own respects. My advice to you would be to try them all. You're sure to find one that suits your needs. :thumbup:

Couple of more questions, first up: what's Kexec? Next: if I flash a custom is it possible to go back stock? Last up: does flashing a ROM effect your unlock status? I would hate to lose that.

My knowledge of Kexec is limited but my understanding is that it is a way to load a custom kernel on top of the stock kernel. This is needed because the locked bootloader prevents us from simply overwriting the stock kernel.
Yes you can flash the FXZ via RSD lite to return to stock. You'll need to find the FXZ that is specific to you're phone ESPECIALLY if it is an AT&T branded phone. Just make sure you know your phone's model number and firmware version so you can find the correct FXZ.
No, flashing a ROM will not have any effect on your carrier unlock, and neither will flashing an FXZ.

Just did some looking at numa. Looks good on paper, I like Ics so I don't think I'll upgrade to jellybean anytime soon. So numa it is when I decide to flash. But it looks like I need to do my homework on flashing the Atrix 2. that locked bootloader seems to be a pain. I don't need a bricked device.

Honestly if you follow flashing instructions in the op of rom threads, chances are very slim that you will brick. Soft brick, maybe, but those are easy to recover from. My rule of thumb, titanium backup everything before flashing a rom,

Just flashed numa and I'm very happy with it so far. It seems to be really stable so far, and allot of the extras are nice. Like the toggles in the notification bar. Thank you everyone for taking the time to answer my questions, it really helped.

If you can not answer these types of questions on your own then you have no business flashing anything as you will most likely get yourself in trouble. What you need to do is read, read, read, read, and read and learn the answers to these questions for yourself. All the information you need is readily available and easy to find you just have to look for it. Step by step instructions are listed in the op of every ROM so there is no need to repost them all here. The only short cuts with this phone almost always lead directly to bricked phones. Also, "best ROM" inquiries not allowed because the answers are subject to user experience and therefore varies from user to user. What is good for me may not be good for you.

You probably flashed the ROM which had to be flashed only via BMM. Do an fxz and flash ROM using BMM.
Btw which ROM did you flash?

You can only flash GB ROMs if your stock firmware is GB. If your stock firmware is ICS, you can flash any ICS or jb ROM. That's probably what your issue is. Just reflash your FXZ, root, install Boot Menu Manager and try one of the ICS or JB ROMs. Make sure you read the instructions thoroughly this time to avoid any more problems.

I doubt it. If you're on GB then you probably need this instead:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606257
And if you are on GB, then you can only flash the ROMs that are meant for GB. They are kind of old, though, and no longer supported.
