Im trying to update my TF300T to a jellybean rom and im a bit confused. im currently an AOSP ICS rom from when i first rooted this tablet but since i havent messed with it since them im a bit lost. i updated TWRP to the latest ics one and i tried installing Paranoid android and it just bootlooped. Luckily i backuped my rom. So can anyone point me in the right direction please? any help would be appreciated
First of all, since you're apparently both unlocked and still on the ICS bootloader, take some time to go through the NVFlash process here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894867
That will come in handy if you accidentally flash the wrong recovery later on (or do anything else that could brick your tablet). I'm sure you've seen the many "I bricked my TF300T" threads, so do yourself a favor, and do the NVFlash backup.
Now, once you've gotten the NVFlash out of the way (it's extremely important that you do the NVFlash backups first, because you can't go back and do them later), we can upgrade you to Jellybean. The easiest way, IMO, is to boot your tablet into fastboot, and flash the stock ASUS firmware (specifically, the first version of 10.x) that way. If you search the forum for "fastboot stock firmware", you should find at least a couple good guides on how to do that.
Once you're on the stock firmware, you can just update via the OTA method. Download the firmware you need (I suggest doing this incrementally, so get each individual update), unzip it, and put the resulting zip file on the root of either your external SD card or the internal storage (doesn't matter). If the tablet doesn't notify you of an update, just reboot. When you get the update notification, accept it, and it'll flash like a normal OTA. Just do this until you're up to date.
Keep in mind, if you go up to the 10.6.x.x firmware (Android 4.2), your only AOSP option will be a mostly-but-not-completely functional CM10.1. So, you may want to stay on the newest 4.1 firmware (10.4.2.20, I believe) until all the issues are ironed out.

Can you access fastboot?
Alright awesome thanks that answered a bunch of my questions. And one more thing so since youre saying if I go to the latest update if be limited to just cm10, what about paranoid android rom in saw in dev section. Would that work on the 4.1 update? Or do I have to go to 4.2 to use that rom? I know it's not really a help question per she but just wanna make sure I don't waste any time lol

Almost every AOSP ROM, including the official CM10.1, requires the 4.1 bootloader. They are stable. The CM for the 4.2 bootloader is in testing stages still, but I believe that the only thing that's broken now is the camera. Regardless, stick to the 4.1 OTA for now if you want a wide selection of AOSP ROMs.

So I'm trying to do the nvflash but when I do the first fast boot command it just sits at waiting for device ugh -_-

And it sees the fast boot driver in device manager so its not like its not seeing it but ugh.....any ideas? Should I update to the latest ICS update from Asus?

It wouldn't hurt. Also make sure you're using the newest version of fastboot.
Where can I get it? Just update the one from android SDK?
Edit: nvm duh from SDK lol and I upgraded to latest ICS image and it worked! Thanks again

Hello everyone. I just wanted to check to make sure im getting a good deal here. Someone is on their way to me with a 32gb tf300 with dock, car charger, and boxes in supposedly near perfect shape. Is $280 usd still a good deal for a 32gb version? They will be here in an hour so any quick feedback is appreciated
Also, I know the screen isnt as good as the tf201 which I previously owned, but ill primarily be using it indoors to watch netflix on rather than my note 2. Im going to guess its more than fine for that purpose right? Ill likely be NRGizing it

Thats exactly what I was looking for. I wasnt sure how much the 16 and 32gb are going for Looks like I did get a deal indeed as mine is the 32Gb model ! Right now im running NRG's rom though. It was fully updated to 4.2 when I got it but luckily I found the TWRP specific to it that worked. I may take the time today and downgrade it though. Im not sure if its the BL or what but this thing is terribly laggy. It was worse with Cromix than with nrg's. Ive read everywhere that people recommend doing the fastboot downgrade to 4.1 ( to get 4.1's bootloader i assume ).
Thanks all for your input

When i buy any electronic device on craigslist, i use the manufacturer's method for wiping it completely clean and starting over. For you, that would be factory reset from TWRP (include wiping internal sdcard) fastboot the latest official blob file from asus, flash TWRP and then install the ROM of choice. You never know what the other guy did with/to it :/

/agree.
Already done my friend When I first got it, it was bone stock but fully updated to 4.2. Stock worked smooth but Cromi and NRG seemed to jitter / hiccup when i FINALLY got twrp working. Im thinking it had something to do with the bootloader and rom combo. I just used FB and went to 4.1 and installed TWRP 2.4.4.0 as that seems to be the combination that works well. Im currently downloading Cromi again to give it another go. What kernel are you using ?
Right now im sitting on stock 4.1.1 build 10.4.2.20 with TWRP 2.4.4.0

Im running the Stock moddified 10.6.1.15.3 kernel on my own ROM. Granted there is SOME jitteryness, but in all honesty, it more than likely is the app. Facebook especially, it tries performing background tasks to update your news feed, and im not sure whats with them but they fail to use the dual core and higher of the device. 99 percent of the devices are dual core or higher, i find facebook to only wanna use the main core -.- causing the most amount of lag.

I too am looking for this. As far as I've read, it's the Verizon variant, NOT Sprint. I tried to flash the Sprint recovery on it, and it ****ed up my system, causing reboots every few minutes. I got it replaced, but haven't had the balls to try to flash a Verizon recovery.

Well, I took the plunge, and, using this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mmmeff.ez&hl=en , installed a CWM Recovery on my Straight Talk S3. I'm currently running a full backup of my clean system, and I'll let you know how well it works once it boots up.
Good news! Everything works with the recovery, flashed CarbonROM, and it's perfect. This is the Verizon variant, so just install a Verizon recovery, and a Verizon Galaxy S3 ROM, and everything should work! Some ROMS may bug you about a SIM card, but you don't use one, so just dismiss the warning, and all should be well!
Have you had any problems? Does everything work?

I've flashed a few roms, Carbon, Cyanogen, it all works. Technically, it IS on Verizon, so the other guy is half right. I'm currently running Cyanogenmod 10.2, which is Android 4.3, and it all works. The camera, mobile data, wifi, EVERYTHING. I have total confidence that it will run any Verizon made rom.
Hi Guys,
I'm in need of someone to dump a file for me from their SCH-S968S. This file will be used to add support for JTAG repair on your model. In exchange, I will make a donation to you for your efforts of $20. Please let me know if you are interested by shooting me a PM. Here is a video of the process we will be adding for your model!

Did you just flash the Verizon ROM, no other variant? If so, that's awesome, and I'll try it. I was able to put CWM on my ST phone using the Verizon version, so that's a positive. Any help on this would be GREATLY appreciated. I went to ST from a GNex on Verizon, so I miss my fresh updating of Android!

Absolutely. I flashed a few ROMs, Carbon, and a few Cyanogenmod versions, settled with Cyanogenmod 10.2. I assume any Verison variant ROM would work, but don't hold me on that! I mostly just stick with CM and CM based ROMs, since I like CM.

Cool. I was planning on going with CM as well, so that's relieving. I guess what's the worst that can happen, I made a CWM backup, so I'll be safe with that. Thanks for the tips!
Just to follow up, running CM 11 (4.4.2), and it's working flawlessly. Data, voice, all that fun stuff. Big thanks again for being brave before me and letting me know CM works! Hopefully this thread will help someone else out like it did for me.
Hmm, one issue I've run into. Are your mms messages going through? I can't get mine working. I think it's an apn issue, but I for the life of me can't figure it out.
Are you sure you flashed the correct ROM? It has to be Verizon. But then again, it could just be a bug. Does CM 11 even have a stable build out?

Hey community! I am currently and sadly a GS4 user with AT&T. Have had to deal with safestrap which im thankful for, never a full unlock. Just purchased a G3 off swappa. Definitely looking forward to having full control over my device without restrictions.
Read around and rooting is obviously easy. Custom recovery is what im going to be looking into next. Whats your current rom if running custom? If your still on stock, why?

Hello and welcome! I think you'll find the G3 to be a great device, especially now that there is development for it. I am running my Candy5 ROM. It's based on CM12 with some goodies added. Give it a shot once you get TWRP flashed. You won't regret it :good:

I just got an LG G3 a couple of days ago and still using my first Note (i717) as a tablet. I cannot believe how smooth and fast this thing is, originally I was going to get the Note 4 but I'd rather spend $1.09 than $249.99+tax. So here I am an LG G3 member and it's good to be back on the forums with a fresh device.
Until At&T stop acting like a little-baby-b***h and locking their devices, you can try the available tools and tricks to get by.
