boot.img is flashable via fastboot // zip is flashable via custom recovery
Make sure that your rom supports this kernel.

Update to 4.2.2 from 4.1.2

Hi folks! It has been a while since I have been on this forum; and I have a question about how to update from 4.1.2. to 4.2.2.
The process is not quite clear to me. Can I just download the Asus Firmware and flash through existing TWRP recovery (4.1.2 version)? Do I have to flash a kernel and new recovery using fastboot first? I see some step-by-step guides but also a view warnings. It is a littlebit vague to me what to do.Can anyone guide me through the process please?
I am on Hydro 7 but looking to update preferably to another custom 4.2.2. base rom. Tips are welcome
Best way is to download the firmware from asus website extract it (theres a zip inside the zip) and flash it with twrp, this will get rid of twrp so after the first boot find the approprate version of twrp and reflash it with fastboot, from there you can flash custom roms/ kernels at will
goodluck
I'm not sure if twrp will work. My upgrade path was to use fastboot the official zip from the Asus website, then fastboot twrp. Be careful which version of twrp you fastboot because it will cause a brick. I think twrp-2.5-4.2 should work for the US version for the official blob from the Asus website. For the WW version of the blob I used twrp version 2.4-4.2 successfully. Good luck!

Hi
I'm also still running 4.1.1 on my TF300TG (WW-version).
The bootloader is unlocked with the asus-tool, cwm-recovery (CWM-based recovery v6.0.1.3) flashed with fastboot and the system is rooted with supersu.
Now i want to update to 4.2.1 but it won't work. neither with the SOP for manual update nor from cwm-recovery.
From what i found it should work like this:
- download the 4.2.1 (10.6.2.6) rom file from the asus website
- extract the zip (once)
- open the second zip and open \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script
- delete everything except "assert(package_extract_file("blob", "/tmp/blob"), write_raw_image("/tmp/blob", "staging"),delete("/tmp/blob"));
set_progress(1.000000);"
- save file and save the zip
- put zip on sdcard and install from cwm-recovery
can someone tell me, if this is correct? or if i should only flash the blob with fastboot?
any help is appreciated!
thx!

For rooting u will have to ask Puduraja and Avi send em a PM
I hope this helps....
Downlad the desired recovery and use flashify to install the recovery or u can use mobile uncle tools...
And Press thanks to Avi if things work out fine for you.

Hey,
I struggled a lot with rooting my q3000 (4.4) too. None of the one-click-root apps will work.
You will have to use SP flash tools.
Sometimes the scatter file given in the (http://forum.xda-developers.com/q3000/development/index-xolo-q3000-t2835037) thread wont work. For that I had to download MTK Droid Tool. It will create your build specific scatter file. use that and you will be able to flash the recovery fine.
Make sure you use a recovery for KK
Just follow the instructions given on the thread carefully and you'll manage to root your phone just fine.
Dont forget to thank the Devs :good::good:

However, here you need to flash a .tft file and etc. Can someone explain me what to do step-by-step?
