[Q] Stuck with ''fake'' 4.1.1

Hello,
so yesterday I tryed to get seanzscream tweaked jellybean version ( HYDRO)
But I didnt understood how to do it since it's my very first time doing something on android. So I tryed to follow Krabappel guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845377)
But at step 5 I flash with a jellybean rom instead of ww.9.4.4.3.30 and now im with a ''fake'' 4.1.1 ( by that I mean it tell me I have 4.1.1 but I have almost no jellybean feature ( exept the battery saving thing ))
I tryed to downgrade with ROM manager but I have permission issue, then I tryed to use factory setting but It just bring me back to 4.1.1.
Is there a way I get go from there to seanzscream rom ? or downgrade then continue again ?
thanks!

so you followed this guide to the T. correct
so by that, you have:
unlocked your bootloader.
(Click utilities +, then scroll down to bootloader and download that .apk file, then you simply install it like any other app)
Installed a recovery partition, TWRP (team win recovery) clockworkrecovery has issues with tf300 !!!, so only install TWRP
custom, clean, rom, 100% problem free of issues is, CleanROM 2.1
it will then be rooted and customized
...>
if you cant install recovery, it may be bricked
if you can, fastboot into it, then your good.

it unlocks your bootloader which allows you to install a custom recovery. ex: twrp or cwm. After installing those you are able flash (which means install)
custom roms.

Perhaps you should do a little more research into flashing custom roms before you do anything in the future. Considering you admit to not knowing what the Asus unlocking app does, maybe it would be best to just stick with stock.

OP, you do have the JB bootloader right? If you do, then it should've flashed without problems.

Everytime you reboot/boot your device, in the top left corner, it will read, "Device is Unlocked"
Advantages:
-installing (by means of fastbooting device) a custom recovery partition, like, TWRP (clickworkrecoveryMod is buggy with this tablet,U.A.Y.O.R)
-create/restore backups
-install/flash mods,upgrades,roms
-clean up, cache,davlik, or fix permissions
-much more.
-Installing a custom ROM, like, CleanROM 2.1/2.5 (links above)
-custom kernels,for faster performance
-clean of bloatware
-access to everything,even, hidden,rooted files/folders

OP says can no longer access this thread. Problems solved!

OK, let do one step at a time, go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795156 and download the unlock tool app, then run the tool to unlock your device, it's very safe and you need internet connectivity while unlocking. Give it a try and report back. If sucessful, we will take you to next step.

OK, you are set, now you have many options:
1. Stock with rooted
If you want to keep stock, then just download the SuperSu and use twrp to flash "install" the zip package can be found here http://download.chainfire.eu/310/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip?retrieve_file=1
2. Custom rom and custom kernel.(use TWRP to flash the rom or kernel zip file).
They come with pre-rooted, so you don't need root. Here is the best rom which compatible with both the tablet and dock:

You already on .25 JB right? then you don't need to flash any bootloader. Here is the best setup:
Cromi (cleanrom) 3.2.2 ODEX with _that_stock kerne. During the setup select:
fsync disabled and seeder.(with seeder, you can download later on so no big deal).

Question for the master: I am on CROMI 3.2.1 and still have TWRP 2.2.3. Should I push TWRP 2.3.1.0 or 2.3.3.0 before I flash CROMI 3.2.2?? I've been reading posts about conflicts between outdated recoveries and bootloader. What's outdated? At the same time, the latest TWRP builds seem to be buggy and sdbags wrote he went back to CWM? What's your advice?

Update to TWRP 2.3.1, it works for most of us. I don't know which version was the first to be compatible with the JB bootloader, but 2.2.3 sounds quite old - and if you choose "wipe data" from the bootloader menu or use any "boot to recovery" tools with an incompatible recovery, you risk turning your tablet into an expensive paperweight.

[Q] How to reflash android with locked bootloader

I have a me301t, basically the same as a tf300t right? (there is no me301t forum right now). I am on 4.2.1 stock (root), but the Bluetooth isn't working, so I am wanting to reflash the stock firmware. I want to keep a locked bootloader, so I can still have warranty if I please. I've looked up a couple of videos of how to, but I am wondering if root will mess up the flashing process. I've also been wondering if I can keep root after flash with Voodoo root keeper. Any advice?

Dear all users of TF300T.
If you are using Stock ROM (Rooted/Non Rooted) and are bricked or stuck on ASUS boot screen. Then this guide is for you.
As i was using stock ROM (ROOTED) with Locked boot loader without custom recovery and my tf300t was Sofbricked due to wrong configurations at Display Pixel scaling and also reformat did not work for me.!
So i thought to create this guide which may help people out here It worked for me Try your LUCK.
Sorry if i am re posting i did not got any guides out here...
If this helped you please give me a Thumbs up.!
Steps:-
1. Download the latest ROM from ASUS website Which matches your SKU.(Important).
It would look somehing like this (TF300T-TW_epad-10_6_1_15_3-UpdateLauncher . zip)
2. Extract it and rename that file to ( EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip )
3. Now copy this new renamed file to SDCARD (Root of sd card). Put the SDcard into tablet.
4. Now Press and hold Volume Down + Power for a few seconds. Then you will see the ASUS recovery options.
5. 3 icons will appear: RCK, Android, and Wipe Data. The RCK should be flashing green. Press the UP Volume Key Once.
Now wait for a few minutes. It will flash the ROM.
And wola! Your TF300T will again work fine!!

You can't without unlocking. He means a compatible Asus ROM.

The ROM has to be signed by Asus, so that method I quoted will only work for Stock ROMS

[Q] Getting error when trying to downgrade to 10.6.1.14.08

Hi there,
I am running an unlocked TF700 on 10.6.1.14.10.
I am currently trying to get downgrade to firmware 10.6.1.14.08 in order to get root and to install custom firmware (stock Asus firmware is just too damn slow).
I've put the unzipped (it was a zip inside a zip) "WW_epad-user-10.6.1.14.8.zip" into the root director of TF700. When I reboot and the system offers me to downgrade, everything seems to be going okay.
But once the downgrade process begin, I get an error message (just a red "error" and a broken android mascot) and i have to turn the TF700 off and reboot back into the 10.6.1.14.10 firmware.
I tried downgrading my going directly into the boot / recovery menu and I get the same result.
How can I find out what's going on?
Thanks,
Levi

You probably have some system apps or bloatware frozen or uninstalled. The upgrade/downgrade checks for system integrity. If it doesn't find certain apps it will not install.
But why downgrade? Root doesn't help you getting a custom recovery onto your tablet.
Unless GooManager works again for flashing recoveries. Have read conflicting reports on that. If you go that route and it works, please let me know.
It is just as easy to flash the recovery in fastboot though. No need for downgrading either...

Go to settings, apps, and scroll over to the right, do you have anything disabled?
If so enable it.
It's probably easier if you block and follow the fastboot instructions to flash twrp and then CROMi-X.

You do need to unlock your tablet to run a custom rom. You do not necessarily need root.
If you are looking at a CROMi thread, you probably look at outdated information. CROMi was JB 4.1 based.
The same dev - the guy up there^^^^, sbdags - developed CROMi-X from the JB 4.2.1 base. That's the latest and greatest rom in the CleanROM lineage. His thread his here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425383
Check out the OP for information how to proceed.

Thanks, that last link is exactly what I was looking for. I will try fastboot once I am back home and report back.
P.S. the instructions for the current version of cromi don't reference the fastboot method.

Hummm, might be wrong here but if you want to downgrade the version unzip the file one time while it's on the PC rename the unzipped file to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.ZIP plug your sd card into the PC and copy that to the root of the sd card. Then try it.

Got CROMi running using the fastboot method. So far everything is working greater. The UI is much more responsive than with stock 4.2.1. The tablet is actually usable now.
I will provide more feedback in the CROMi thread once I get a chance to use it properly.
Thanks berndblb!

One way is to use fastboot to flash the latest 4.2 stock ROM. The bootloader is also upgraded in the process. Then you flash the 4.2 TWRP and whatever ROM you want from there.

I've used fastboot before, but a little more info - where can we find the 4.2 stock ROM? I followed a few links off this forum that took me to ASUS support page that stated you must select your OS (which there was no option).
Is there a thread dedicated to this?
I'm sitting on CleanROM (my Aunts), and over time, I guess this thing runs like a pig (so does my mom's stock 4.2 tablet). I am looking to make these two devices actually useful again.

OK, so with this 4.1 modded tablet, if I take the latest version of 4.2, grab the blob, and do the following:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
Is that going to work, or am I going to end up with a brick?
I know that there has been some warnings on upgrading to 4.1 with 4.2 files, so I want to double check before I make a bookend out of this thing.
EDIT: Pulled the trigger - worked out fine. Now I will install a recovery and we'll be good to go!
