Hello guys.
I'm sorry for the noob questions, but I'm very new to the Android world.
I just bought an Asus TF700T and I decided to root it.
This wasn't possible as my device had JB installed, so I decided to downgrade it to ICS with a method that could keep it locked.
After that I rooted it without any problems
First of all my first question is this:
Is it normal that my tablet now is full of chinese applications? I downloaded the firmware from the asus site so I'm just wondering why it is like that and how to fix it
Also is it normal that I don't have the google play store application installed?
After this I wanted to know the correct steps to upgrade it again to JB keeping the root at the same time
Thanks a lot
Sounds to me like you flashed the Taiwanese firmware.

ye you are totally right...
I'm trying to install the WW version now.
Anyway after I installed it and rooted it how can I update to the latest version of JB?
thanks
Edit: I tried to download Root Keeper and to update it to JB, but the root is gone
So I'm stuck at the upgrading part
You need to install voodo before you update to JB, save the root and then temp un-root it.
If that doesn't work as easily as that (which it didn't in my case) then follow this guide

That worked great for me
I have a rooted and unlocked tf300t running 4.1.1 and CleanRom 2.5. After being away from the scene for awhile, I came back to see that they had released 4.2 for my device. Is it possible to update my device to 4.2 or am I stuck at 4.1.1 seeing as how I am not running an Asus firmware. I am really overwhelmed right now, and getting very frustrated. Any insight would be a tremendous help. Thank you very much for even taking the time to read my post.

I would say....
Return to stock Asus ROM v4.1
Reflash appropriate recovery...
Once stable, flash stock Asus 4.2...
Reflash appropriate recovery which will be different than 4.1 recovery.... Read the twrp thread carefully for info on this. If in doubt, there's an upgrade guide in the general section.

I have a few questions...
I've been around xda for a bit rooting and flashing roms but this TF300 business sounds a bit more complicated so I have some questions.
Build# JOP40D.WW_epad-10.6.1.8-20130225
I have a TF300T running stock 4.2.1 rooted with a bunch of root mods to make things a bit smoother but it looks like custom rom would be still faster than this. Am I correct?
How stable are the custom roms in comparison to the stock rom? Will I be able to get OTA updates in the future if ASUS decides to release more?
Is my bootloader still unlockable if I'm running whatever came with the last stock update?
How hard it is to brick a TF300? I've had 3 phones that were pretty much unbrickable. (Assuming one does not flash the wrong files to the wrong phone)
Which tutorial should I be follow? Can I unlock the bootloader on 4.2.1's bootloader or do I have to downgrade?
Is this sub-forum not friendly enough to help out a new guy who has read through many topics to try and help himself first?

Hi all,
I'm new to XDA, and somewhat new to android. I have a long history of jailbreaking iDevices, so this whole concept isn't too foreign to me. I have an Asus Transformer TF700T, and I get speed hiccups way too often, and even after "repair," it still doesn't work 100%, so I decided to root and/or unlock it to run a new ROM.
Question 1: I'm aware that unlocking it will void the Asus 1 year warranty, however, I purchased a squaretrade warranty as well, and would like to know if it voids ST's warranty, and/or, will they not repair it, even for non-OS problems like physical damage?
Question 2: Once I unlock the device, I know I won't be allowed to receive OTAs, but will I still be able to update the Android firmware by downloading it on my PC and moving it onto the device? Or will I be stuck on the same firmware 'till I wipe my device or something?
Thanks

AFAIK Squaretrade does not care if you unlocked or rooted your device, they will repair/replace it regardless.
If you unlock, why would you want to run the stock rom and rely on Asus updates? Unlocking or rooting by itself will not make your tablet run any better on stock software. The benefit of unlocking is that you can run a custom rom like CROMi-X on this tablet and you won't be looking back ever!
CROMi-X unlocks the potential of this tablet and is better supported than any stock rom!
Full disclosure: Yes, I am a hopeless fanboy of CROMi-X
There are also other custom roms for this tablet like CyanogenMod or Paranoid, but IMO CROMi-X is the most stable and best supported rom for this device. Look for the thread in the Development section.
Since I own the TF700 there have been - what? Three updates to the stock rom?
CROMI and it's JB 4.2.1 successor CROMi-X have been updated - jeez, I lost count - at least 10 times??? And it gets better each time!

Enjoy! You're gonna like it
Ahhh - I sometimes wish I could go back to that point in time when I installed CROMI for the first time and ran it....
It made me giggle and laugh out loud each time trying a new task - so ridiciously much better it was...

First Root/Unlocking
Hello xda'ers, I am new to this topic and would like to migrate from stock to cromi-X. I'm currently on JB 4.2.1 and build 10.6.1.14.10. I'm also aware that going ahead with this will void my warranty as well as disable accessibility to OTAs.
Thanks

correct, cromi (along with the other roms here) are better than any Asus OTA will be Asus publish the firmware on their site anyway which is very easy to flash from a custom recovery.
I just not got this device after buying the newest model TF103C and relizing that it didn't have any custom recovery or roms. I like the interface of it because it's kitkat. My question would be since we have kitkat roms for this tablet how come we don't have any ports from other devices. Like for example the Asus Stock Modded Odex/Deodexed ROM - 11.4.1.27 KK 4.4.2 rom for the asus transformer TF700 hhere's the link is there anyway it can be ported to our TF300 verison? Also is there any other way to install a custom recovery on this tablet without using a pc? Since I got this off of craglist it didn't come with the usb cable so i had to order one off ebay. I can't wait to try the custom roms for this.

The TF103C is an intel processor? That means different kernel which means harder port.
I have the TF300 version. Can the roms from TF700 be ported over to it?

Oh I misunderstood your first post
Some ROMs can be, but it takes a lot of work to port perfectly. That stock ROM you linked to looks a lot like the new Android L anyways, so if you can't wait you could try one of the Android L ROMs available for the TF300t. If you unlock your bootloader and root your tf300t, you can install a recovery from inside the tablet using Terminal Emulator, without the assistance of a tablet. Just make sure that the recovery you install is a KK compatible recovery. TWRP 2.8+ should be good.
