twrp 2.5 is the only one that has no issues as of now.
FIXED!
After doing some more extensive reading and trials and errors.. these two threads where helpful
[UNLOCKED BL] Method 2: Update using fastboot
Notes:
You will keep all your data
This is the best method to update your tablet if you want to keep all your data, and the safest one
Ensure you have the correct drivers for the tablet installed on your computer, or you will have a "waiting for device" error
To update using fastboot, follow this steps:
If you don't have fastboot yet, download it from here an unpack it somewhere on your computer
Extract the Asus firmware file and put the blob file inside fastboot folder
Open a command line on fastboot folder (write "cmd" on Windows search bar at the Start menu, and then
Code:
cd "FOLDER WHERE YOU EXTRACTED FASTBOOT"
, or you can just use SHIFT + RIGHT CLICK on the folder and select "Open command line window here" or something like that)
Reboot the tablet holding the volume down key until you see some icons. Use the volume down key to select the USB icon and then volume up to select it
Connect the tablet to the computer if you didn't do so
Write
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob
, hit enter and wait until it completes
Hold the power button for 10 seconds to reboot the tablet
You are now updated to Android 4.2

and to install recovery I used this step from the same thread
[UNLOCKED BL]-- Installing TWRP (Recovery) --
Since this new update brings a new bootloader, older recovery versions from 4.1 won't work at all. Don't try to flash one!
This guide will give you a recovery that works just fine on the new bootloader. And yes, it can read/write to an external SD just fine. Follow this steps to install the new recovery on your device:
Connect the tablet to the computer
Reboot the tablet using the proper button on the power menu, holding Volume down until you see three icons (RCK, Android and Wipe Data)
Download this file and unpack it (it contains fastboot and a version of TWRP 2.5.0.0 that works with the new bootloader)
Open a command line on the extracted folder (you can use the instructions I wrote in Method 2 if you don't know how to do this) and type
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob
Wait for the script to complete. Once it is done, reboot the tablet by holding volume down and power button for 10 seconds or using
Code:
fastboot reboot
on the command line. Don't enter recovery directly!
You have now the new recovery for Android 4.2 .

My infinity just passes its warranty and it is in newest stock firmware and not rooted. I think it is too slow and laggy and i would like to make some change by flashing new rom. As i know, the newest firmware .10 can not be unlocked and flash rom? So do i have to downgrade to .8 to make it work?

You don't have to downgrade.
After you unlocked your tablet, you can push a custom recovery through ADB or fastboot and use that custom recovery to flash a custom rom.
If you use this method you bypass rooting the stock rom altogether. Every custom rom is rooted already.

do you mean i can still unlock with the 10.6.1.14.10 firmware? using the official unlock tool?

Unlocking and rooting are two different things. There is no known root method at this time for the 10.6.1.14.10 firmware. The Unlock Tool should still work.
I don't think it's a question which firmware you have - sometimes it works like a charm and other users cannot unlock at all due to incorrect or incomplete S/N database on Asus servers. At least I have not heard anything that people have trouble unlocking after the last update.
Just download the latest version, v8 I think, install and run it. The worst that can happen is it fails.
Do yourself a huge favor and educate yourself thoroughly before you try to flash custom software to the tablet.
There is little risk in flashing a custom rom IF you do it right. But yesterday night I tried to help someone who did it wrong and hard bricked his tablet. Read 3 times, ask twice, flash once!

For flashing via adb and the staging partition, Android must be rooted. Fastboot works without root.
I did a clean wipe of my tablet and installed 10.6.1.14.10 onto my tablet.
I have unlocked the bootloader, but when booting up I then have the default recovery and rom supplied by Asus with no root.
I tried motochopper and debugfs method, and as described above neither work, the cmd prompt windows just record failures.
Read this forum regarding what is what (fastboot, root, unlocked etc.) and why you do them
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833212
The way I gave root to the stock rom was by loading into fastboot mode and pushing a twrp image to my tablet off CHROMI rom site. I then used that to root the system. To be honest I did not need to root as I could have just then flashed the CHROMI custom rom which comes with SU anyway....
Get fastboot into a folder and also copy the TWRP recovery img inside the fastboot folder
Attach your device to the PC
Start fastboot mode by switching off your tablet then switching on in bootloader by holding down power on and volumn down
Connect tablet to PC (need approperiate drivers)
Open cmd prompt as admininstrator and goto directory with recovery image in the fastboot folder
Type the following commands:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot (though I don't think i typed this if honest, struggling to remember)
Unplug tablet from the PC and reboot into recovery mode
If you got the image of twrp from CHROMI site which includes bootloader also, i think it includes SU, therefore just exit and close recovery and it should ask to install SU. Select yes
Reboot the device
Your device is now rooted, though think you need to run SU in the tablet to get it fully setup.
Sorry this is not 100% perfect, I will recall what I did tonight when at home in front of PC with files.

Hello Berndblb (and everybody else ),
I'm quite a Noob around here as you can see and I've the same problem.
My TF700 has the build : US_epad-10.6.1.14.10 and the Android version : 4.2.1
I followed the instructions from this thread and now my tablet is unlocked.
I want to flash it to run under the last version of Cromi and I've read the instructions :
"- Step 1 - Coming from Stock Asus 10.6.1.x – INSTALLING TWRP 2.5 on 10.6.1.14.4/8"
Okay, so now I need to install TWRP, so I followed the guidelines : to do so, the easiest way is to install goomanager on the playstore.
Okay let's do this, I go to the playstore and I read the first line : This app is for ROOTED USERS ONLY!
Okay, so now before doing anything, I need to root my TF700, so I go back to this thread and I see that the easiest way to do it is by using motochopper but motochopper doesn't seem to work on 10.6.1.14.10.
As you said yourself previously before, I need to downgrade to 0.8 before using motochopper to root my tablet.
Okay let's do this, I search many threads and I've finally used this method :
1/ Download the previous firmware from asus website for my tablet (us version) and unzip it to get another .zip : US_epad-user-10.6.1.14.8.zip
2/ Put it into the root of my internal sd card
3/ Boot with "power + vol down" then after the splash screen put "vol up".
4/ Android start to work to add the downgrade version.... then I get the sick droid !
So, now I'm quite stuck here, I can't downgrade this way... any advices ?

You can try to install from your system, not stock recovery. You need to boot your system normally and look in the lower right corner at your notification. It should notify you that their is an update for you. When you click on it, it will walk you through the update process. You need to make sure that you have only one zip file in your directory which is the Asus firmware that you want to update.
You can also use fastboot to install the TWRP. I don't think you need to root to install a custom recovery by using fastboot if you already unlocked your bootloader. IMO, I think fastboot is easier and faster than motochopper because of rooting process...

Thanks LetMeKnow !
It was the right way to do it (Berndblb advised this also here).
It worked and I've now TWRP installed ! :victory:
But it wasn't so easy, fortunately there's plenty of help around here
I'll write here quickly how I did it, it could help someone, who knows, sharing doesn't hurt, even if I'm sure there's plenty of different methods to do it.
I found some help in this guide because the explanation under "Download - Recovery Image / Fastboot Method:" from the TWRP page is a bit rough for a beginner like me.
First I need to mention that I've Windows XP on my computer.
As you can read here there's 3 different ways to install TWRP on the TF700, the first one is the easiest one, but you need to be root, if you're unrooted like me and you want to skip rooting, let's install TWRP via fastboot.
Requirements :
- Bootloader must be unlocked. Very easy following this thread.
- ADB and Fastboot must be installed on your computer. You can follow this guide, this way you'll install them from the latest version of Android SDK and avoid any trouble.
- You should have the USB driver for your TF700 installed on your computer. I've read multiple times that that the official drivers could create some trouble, and indeed it happened to me. So you can give a try, and if this doesn't work, let's go for the Universal Naked Driver.
- Download the last version of TWRP (the newest .blob file) from here. Rename it to twrp.blob and place it under C:/Android (or C:/Android-adb, depending how you've rename your folder containing adb and fastboot.exe).
Fastboot method :
- Before starting, you want to be sure that your computer recognize well your tablet, otherwise, you'll follow a tutoriel like me, enter the final command, press enter and watch... nothing ! just a prompt command blinking in front of you, because if the script don't find any device, it will just write nothing.
To be sure of that, turn on your TF700, Plug it to your computer via a USB cable, then enable USB debugging (Tap the Build Number 7 times under Settings, About Tablet and it will show up under Dev Settings).
Now, if you're under WinXP like me, it may be possible that the pc doesn't recognize well your tablet, and you'll probably have to play with your device manager (to go into your device manager right-click on My Computer and click Properties, In the System Properties window click the Hardware tab, In the Hardware tab click the Device Manager button then look for your device, click on it, uninstall drivers, then reinstall the naked driver mentioned before for example). You may find some help here or around here in the forum.
Once you think your tablet with USB debugging enabled is well recognized by your computer, try to open a command prompt (First, press Win + R to launch the Run dialog, then enter “cmd” in the dialog box) and type “adb devices” (without quotes). The daemon will start up, and all connected devices will be listed. If your device shows up, let's continue to next step, otherwise, you should continue to play with uninstalling drivers, reboot, installing others drivers...
- Turn off & Unplug your device.
- Enter fastboot mode : Keep pressing the Power button while holding the Volume down button till the screen responds then
1) If you have an old bootloader select USB icon, press Volume up button.
2) If you have the new 4.2.1 boot loader it automatically boot into usb mode, it should be written in the upper left corner something like this :
The Device is UnLocked.
key driver not found...booting os
Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "ww_epad-10.6.1.14-20130329" A03
Starting Fastboot USB download Protocol
I didn't know that and I found some answer here and here.
- Plug the TF700 to your computer via a USB cable. (and make sure no other android devices is connected to the computer)
- Open a command prompt in your computer (First, press Win + R to launch the Run dialog, then enter “cmd” in the dialog box).
Just to be sure (one more time) that your device is well recognized by the computer type “fastboot devices” (without quotes).
You should see at least one line with some numbers written.
Then, change the working directory of the command window to the directory where you had placed the TWRP recovery file (twrp.blob) using the command “cd directorylocation” without quotes (probably, “cd c:\android“).
Then, in the command prompt, enter the command: fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
After the process finishes, You can unplug and reboot your tablet.
- Normally the TWRP recovery is now installed on your device !
To check that enter recovery mode : Boot with "power + vol down" then after the splash screen put "vol up". You should see that image, cool right ?
I don't take any credit for this quick explanation because I took all the informations from this forum (and from different other websites) and gathered them together for my own case, but I think this may help others.
A big Thanks to all the guys here who take the time to write, explain and help, that's great, keep it up the good work :good:

It is a nice written How to do list, good job... :good:
You can add these command for fastboot to your list instead of using the power button and volume down..
> fastboot reboot-bootloader # Exit fastboot and reboot into bootloader.
> fastboot reboot # Exit fastboot and reboot to your system
Good job.. :good:

I am attempting to install a ROM on my Transformer Infinity as it pretty much sucks these days but am a complete NOOB. Have never attempted this with any of my phones or tablets, but figure I would try since these directions are so detailed. After following most the steps you have listed, I get the error below in the command prompt. Can someone please help, I tried searching XDA and Google to no avail. If possible please be as basic and speak in layman's terms b/c all this technical jargon goes right over my head. Thank you in advance!!!
Step followed:
- Then, change the working directory of the command window to the directory where you had placed the TWRP recovery file (twrp.blob) using the command “cd directorylocation” without quotes (probably, “cd c:\android“).
Then, in the command prompt, enter the command: fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
After the process finishes, You can unplug and reboot your tablet.

Don't know if you cut and paste the error message or typed it up. But what I notice is that you named the recovery file .blop
It should be .blob
Another step to avoid simple errors: Place the recovery.blob file into the same directory with your fastboot file.
Right click in that directory to open a command prompt and then execute the command
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash reccovery twrp.blob

Don't know if you cut and paste the error message or typed it up. But what I notice is that you named the recovery file .blop
It should be .blob

Thanks for the help but I'm still getting the same error. I did move the recovery file to the same folder and open the command prompt right from that folder but no luck. Any other ideas?
Thanks again.

Actually yes.
Just read in another thread about someone having the same problem as you, getting the incorrect file size error.
Download the TWRP 2.5 blob and try it with that file. I have no idea why, but TWRP 2.6 may cause this error.
At least that bloke got the recovery installed that way. Once you have TWRP, it's easy to upgrade to the latest version.

The blob for TWRP 2.6.3 is bigger than the recovery partition. 2.6.1 should work.

You don't have to downgrade.
After you unlocked your tablet, you can push a custom recovery through ADB or fastboot and use that custom recovery to flash a custom rom.
If you use this method you bypass rooting the stock rom altogether. Every custom rom is rooted already.

Ive had the same question as the OP, i also have a .10 version, i have a US sku, and i downlaoded said associating item but when I went but when i go to either do it with sd, or intewrnal sd, or how ever. through manual or through android, either method both resulted in error when trying to downgrade, i dont know if its because its a downgrade or what.
Ive some linux experience over the years, and have rooted and run custom roms in the past. im trying to achieve the same as the OP, fix my lag, and more options and tweaks.
I have the .zip of the rom i want whitch i found I liked the xcromi rom, so I downloaded it. so, i can put that in and name it what and how do i do the update than through the volume down + pwr combo into that menu? (not sure what its called) but i can't do sideloads because i can't havbe the ultity to sideload without rooting and i can't root with .10, so i have been trying to get past this single step all night and this morning now.
@M1ster1
Thanks for posting this guide. It doesn't do a perfect job however on the TF700t running Android build 10.6.1.14.10. Tried to use the "fix permissions" option in ROM Manager but failed due to insufficient permissions. I installed CWM Superuser and cleaned up the version of SuperSU (prefer Superuser anyhow)... updated the binaries and still no love when trying to correct the permissions, despite all tests showing the device fully rooted.
After a day of pulling my hair out I finally came across vRoot and after even longer found a guide in English. Ran that, again swapped out the Superuser that went with vRoot and again reinstalled Superuser. Used Ti to install as system app. After reboot ROM Manager was finally able to correct permissions and all is golden again.
Hi ,
My Transformer has 10.6.1.14.10 and I am trying to install TWRP thru fastboot as per "M1ster" instructions.
these are the results I see from my command prompt.
C:\Users\Ken>fastboot devices
015d2bbce7041e07 fastboot
C:\Users\Ken>cd c:\Android-adb
c:\Android-adb>fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
sending 'recovery' (4 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.066s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 3.374s]
finished. total time: 3.441s
c:\Android-adb>
after I reboot and select RDK , i get the sick droid error,
I feel like I have missed something, hopefully somebody can point me in the right direction
Thanks

Your "twrp.blob" apparently doesn't contain a recovery - it should be around 6 to 8 MB.
I update the phone SKU = TW to WW, in the process of updating the device stands at around 30%, which does not run on the next stop. I waited over 30 minutes still the same and I reset the phone and the result is brick, just boot up black screen and USB symbol, on the discovery fastboot recovery lost.
sorry, my english bad
my zf4 stuck on usb mode too. do you solve it?

it doesnt work . it still stuck on boot screen .. help me please
My asuszenfone5 had usb logo lots of time, when i tried to update to kitkat. You need to try several times power+ vol up (1sec after) since the device has a power button unresponsive. Then just follow the tutorial people told you. Get usb drivers from microsoft(on win8 must give program installer compatibility mode on XPSP3 and administrator previleges to install it properly)In my case i would have batery logo/usb logo several times before getting access to boot mode (10 min attempts So keep trying dont give up. Its an excelent phone but with power button unresponsive/. The same thing happens while you try to wake up phone after deepsleep mode.

I tried to follow this, but every time the it finished the sideload, I still get an error which says "assert failed : greater_than_int (getprop("ro.build.date.utc").1392739......, and then the installation got aborted. I can't access the internal memory cuz I believed my phone was bricked and when opening the phone, I was just stuck with the loading screen and not getting through.
Got this problem when I tried to update my phone to kitkat. The installation got stuck at about 30% and tried to reset it and now I have this problem.
I appreciate it if someone will see this and reply to me. Thanks
