Easy Guide to Unlock, Root, and Flash ROM?

Hey guys, I just unlocked and flashed ROM on my LG Optimus G phone and looking to do the same with the TFT300T.
I did read some of the stickies, and there are various ways of doing this.
Anyone recently unlock, root, and install ROM on your TF300T? Which directions did you take? I am looking for the simplest and user friendly solutions. Any tips are much appreciated.
Thanks

What rom/ android version are you currently running?

I am on 4.2.1

First off you need to go to Asus support site and download the v8 unlock apk & run it (unlocking your bootloader).
Then have a good read here to learn how to flash the compatible TWRP custom recovery (2.4.4.0), the root your device.
As of know I don't know about any custom roms that will boot with the newest bootloader. Correct me if I'm wrong here.
Do have a good read though, and read it again - and make sure you understand it and then read some again. Then proceed by following the steps to the letter.
Have fun! :good:

Can I just download an older unlock apk if the current ROMs don't run with the v8 unlock?

No. If you updated to 4.2.1 you need to use the v8 apk.

Got it. So if I am on 4.2.1, there's no ROM that I can flash? Just want to get that absolutely correct.

Not that I'm aware of at this point. The new bootloader uses a different partition layout than the "older" 4.1 ones, so it will soft brick (as will flashing the wrong recovery, you'll want the latest twrp 2.4.4.0)

Thanks. That's really good to know.

So at this point, for anyone on the OTA 4.2.1, we can unlock and root but cannot install any kernels or ROMs yet, correct? Anyone know if CleanROM is being updated to work for us yet?

I think you can try this ROM.

Thanks, I had a look at that. I'm having a hard time figuring out which set of "instructions" to use. The ones on the OP:
Code:
Installation instructions:
- Unlock your device using the Asus supplied APK. Search around the forum for the official unlocking app.
- Install a custom recovery such as TWRP. Follow the instructions in the TWRP thread (website)
- Copy over the ROM zip to your Internal Storage or your microsd card
- Boot into recovery and simply install the ROM. This ROM will NOT wipe your current ROM settings
- Enjoy!
Or at the bottom of post #3 (where it seems to have the download links) it says "BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL ANYTHING IN THE JB 4.2.1 folder BELOW CLICK THIS LINK FOR INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS!"
Which then gives you this set of instructions:
Code:
The stock ROM is uploading in the JB 4.2.1 subfolder of the main download folder on the first page..
Be warned that once you do this... you will not be able to simply restore your backup and go back to 4.1.1. You will need to flash the JB bootloader ( think craig gomez has a package for it) and repartition your tablet. So be ready to STAY on 4.2.1
Instructions:
1. Make a full backup of your internal storage and copy it over to your computer after. Do a "nandroid" or "backup" in TWRP and copy the resulting folder/files to your computer (if you want a backup...)
2. Download and copy the Energy_JB_4.2.1_Partitions.zip to your tab.
3. Reboot into recovery and flash the above mentioned file. Reboot.
4. Wait while the blue line at the bottom is doing its thing. At the top you should see a "signature match" message. This WILL WIPE YOUR INTERNAL STORAGE. Which is why I recommend a backup!
5. At this point the tablet will NOT boot. You need to manually reboot and get back into recovery. Hold power and volume down and choose "RCK".
6. Either using an sdcard or adb, copy over the actual ROM zip Energy.TF201.JB.03.15.2013.STOCK.zip and flash it! Reboot... and... Enjoy.
Having started on the OTA 4.2.1, I can't figure out what I need to do here. Do I require the Partitions.zip, or am I already set with that having installed 4.2.1 prior? Conflicting sets of instructions are bad...

Sbdags is working on it and has made some great progress. He's got it figured out where we are gonna be able to flash the bootloader, kernel, and custom recovery all at one time. From what I've read, I have a feeling a release is coming pretty soon.
Just keep up with the thread and you'll be good to go.

Im posting because I want to keep up on this thread, I too have an ASUS TF300 with 4.2.1 and want to root it and install a custom ROM like I have on my Droid Razr.

I tried several ROMs and this was the only one I was able to get to work.

I have been having lag issues since the OTA upgrade to 4.2.1 and figured putting a custom ROM on the TF300T might help things out. Glad I came in here. I had unlocked it via the ASUS website: http://www.service.asus.com/#!downloads/c1wax

So what else can u do with unlock?

[ROM/GUIDE] 4.4.2 [LG Stock Rom] [Custom Recovery - Kernels - Root]

First off huge thanks to every dev in this thread. At the time my G2 was being repaired so I didn't get to help out
By following the steps below, you can run the new 4.4.2 kitkat rom from LG (and 4.4.2 stock modified roms to come) with our old partitions which are fully loki-able
DO THIS ENTIRE PROCESS AT YOUR OWN RISK - IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THESE DIRECTIONS, THEY ARE NOT FOR YOU. I TRIED TO MAKE THEM AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE. THIS WILL WIPE YOUR WHOLE PHONE. THIS IS FOR D801 ONLY.
Also please no stupid questions, I will not answer. I will try to help with legitimate problems.
If you upgraded to 4.4.2 through the KDZ or flashed the 4.4.2 stock rom from smiley on this forum (since he included the new partitions) you must follow every step here. If you are still on 4.2.2 partitions (You have these if you currently are using an aosp / cm rom with a custom recovery) - Then you may go straight to step 5.
1. You must revert to stock 4.2.2 using this guide. You must restore to the C version. DO NOT USE G. You can find the link to 801C here.
2. Once you successfully flash this, your phone should boot loop on the T-Mobile screen. Boot into recovery (which is now LG's stock recovery) once you are in press power twice to data reset. Remove the USB cable from the phone when trying to boot to recovery, it makes it much easier for some reason. After data reset your phone should now boot into stock LG 4.2.2
3. Root your phone with this.
4. Install a custom recovery with this guide. The TWRP listed in this guide is old and you must this one instead. Method 1 works fine for this if anyone is wondering.
5. At this point you should have 4.2.2 partitions with root and custom recovery. Bet you wish you didn't update to 4.4.2 Stock at this point :good:
6. Boot into recovery. FULL WIPE EVERYTHING (Except for internal storage. This mean you wipe System Data Cache and Dalvik. Very Important.) Flash this Rom in recovery that I put together (And here is a Mirror). It contains the 4.4.2 KDZ system image with the 4.4.2 modem. Make sure you backup your EFS. The kernel inside this rom is stock LG 4.4.2 with a minor change to allow it to boot on the 4.2.2 bootloader. Thanks to the dev's in that thread who worked on it.
7. Flash SuperSU for root.
8. You are now on 4.4.2 Stock rom with recovery, root, loki and the ability to flash custom 4.4.2 stock kernels when they are released (soon)
At this point you will be able to flash any rom you want, including aosp stuff. Do not flash any other kernel on the included LG 4.4.2 stock rom. I will be making a custom kernel / 4.4 stock roms for this soon anyway - WHEN FLASHING 4.4.2 STOCK ROMS PLEASE MAKE SURE THEY DONT HAVE PARTITIONS BESIDES SYSTEM/MODEM/RPM/TZ INSIDE!!!! JUST OPEN THE ZIP AND CHECK INSIDE. ANYTHING EXTRA YOU WILL HAVE TO REDO THIS ENTIRE PROCESS !!!!!!!! I really hope devs stop putting up roms with the new partitions included.

Excellent. Thank you

Awesome great job Doc.

I have searched into the depths of Google. To my knowledge, besides the LG tool there is no way to flash a .kdz file on a Mac. I have a Windows desktop and even a VM on the Mac, but my desktop keeps blowing power supplies and I haven't set up Windows on the VM. Oh, well! Looks like I know what I'm doing this weekend.

OK. I am currently on Mahdi 2.5 with TWRP 2.6.3.5. I have a backup of stock 801c from just after I rooted. Can I revert to that backup and then just flash this?

I just made it more clear in the OP what 4.2.2 partitions are

Well with no SU you won't have root of course. What does the error say. I completed this whole process twice and never ran into this issue.

[Q] [Custom ROMs] Stuck in Bootloop after many attempts

Hey guys,
I have followed many tutorials (video and text) on how to flash ROMs on the Moto G, but to no avail.
I followed all the steps correctly, and my Moto G is stuck in a boot loop after 10 minutes. This happens every time I want to flash a ROM, and it has happened with many different ROMs, what am I doing wrong?
I have wiped all the wipey stuff and whatnot, I just don't know why it isn't working!
This is my first post, so please call me out if i missed any details I need to write down
Custom ROMs I have tried:
CyanogenMOD (Nightly)
Paranoid Android (unoffical)
C-Rom
Any help at all is much appreciated

What i meant was that you need to flash the 4.3 stock recovery, along the 4.3 rom. those files normally come together.
Then you flash the custom recovery of your choice (i used CWM 6.0.4.7 touch) and CM11.
Look Here
4.3 = Jelly Bean Android
4.4 = KitKat Android

Dude, I completely understand you but I want to be very sure about what I will do foot try another time.
I back to 4.3 image downloading it here ( http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14) and it already has the 4.3 recovery inside or I must to download it (from where?). Can you share the thread where you found the CWM recovery, please? Just to do it identical as you.
Thanks in advance.

let me see...
the guide to downgrade to 4.3 is this one
the guide to install CMW and CM11 is in cyanogenmod's wiki, you can find it here
as far as i know every (or at least most) stock ROM zip or tar file out there comes with a "recovery.img"

Yup downgrade to 4.3 needed then you'll have no problems

Happened to me as well (mine was rooted too), I followed the exact same steps Z-Wolf mentioned after searching and this seems to be a common problem.

I bought my device already upgraded to 4.4.2. I was able to install c-rom with no issue. I'm using tweaky ROM right now.
I'm curious as to why some devices need to downgrade and some don't?

What I did was installing cm11 from GPE and then wipe all cache and wipe system data or something like that (it deletes everything un your infernal sd), it worked for me after having bootloop with every ROM I tried. Ask the guys for those wipes ( I think it was format system/data but I don't remember very well).

Did you get the downgrade version from here, which one did you use? I tried several and without success. I have a Moto G GPE

I will share my history with my phone since it can be useful for someone... Well I got the phone about a month ago, since i ordered from amazon, there's no way im going to return it for garanty if it broke, flashed cwm and rooted the same night, but when i was going to flash cm, l encountered a bootloop, since i didn't make a backup... i was at lost, my computer doesn't detect the phone in cwm, so I was with bootloop and not able to flash anything... Tried fastboot... Yes! so I downloaded stock and flashed away in fastboot, then i tried again with cm11, and this time it booted fine! I guess something prevented us to flash anything directly over stock, dunno what

I was stuck on boot loop for the past 24h, trying to flash a Lego ROM.
After a few factory resets and stock ROM flashes, I came across the solution of downgrading from KitKat 4.4.2 to Jelly Bean 4.3, then flash Lego again, and now all is well and good !

i dont think cm is updated to 4.4 source yet, i could be wrong. (as it turns out, i was wrong and cm is on 4.4 source)
if it is not, you cant install it over 4.4, that's why it is bootlooping.

What do you talking about? CM11 is 4.4.4, maybe @braube is trying to install an old version of CM11 that is based on 3.0 kernel, just try the latest versions available here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=moto_msm8960

I know you stated you followed the directions, but just in case, this is what I do:
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Wipe cache, dalvik cache, data and system
3. Install CM11.
4. Install GAPPS
5. Wipe cache and dalvik (from the Install screen)
6. Reboot and profit.
If this still doesn't work for you, you might have a corrupted download for CM11 and/or GAPPS, so try downloading them again and make SURE you are using the correct CM11 image.
If you are getting them from epinter, then make sure you choose the correct one. There are a LOT of ROM images there (for XT925, for CM10 for JB-based phones, CM11 xt926 I believe is for JB based phones, you want the CM11 with msm9690 in the file name).
I get mine from here -> http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=moto_msm8960
Also, make sure you have the correct TWRP installed (2.7.1.0) that is KK based. Do NOT use earlier versions which are based off of JB.
You can also use CWM recovery, but make sure it's 6.0.4.9. Anything else is for JB-based phones that haven't been upgraded to KK.

Thanks for all the replies. I just did a standard wipe with TWRP so maybe thats the problem.
Another question, is the msm8960 CM11 compatible with XT926? I read somewhere that it was but i just want to make sure

That's what you want and it's what I linked you to.

4.x.x upgrade to 5.x.x Help

hey guys, i just gave my father the nexus 5 and hes using it for straight talk and its working quite well. ive already unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom 4.4.4 rom (as thats what i was using before i got the nexus 6). is there anything special i need to do to install a rom like Chroma 5.1.1 at this point? Thanks for any help

If the bootloader is unlocked then you should be fine. I had some radio problems and I flashed about 10 ROMs, including Chroma, without any problems (but never did fix the radio). The simplest thing would be to install a Nexus factory image - LMY48I is the latest version and is pretty much one-click (if you have drivers, ADB & Fastboot installed ok).
Just for my curiosity, if it's working fine, why install a new ROM? I know my own answer - because it's there...

To go from 4.4 ROM to 5.x rom you should flash the updated bootloader and radio first. Then wipe system data and cache andd flash the new ROM.

Well I have him on a stock 4.4.4 rom and the battery life is a little lacking and he keeps getting the annoying nag message for the OTA to 5.x.x (i know theres a way to get rid of that but i guess id rather just update). Also I dont see any roms being actively worked on for 4.x.x. Unless there is one that you recommend?

Is there a thread that maintains the radios and bootloaders? I dont see one myself and am not sure which to get (and are there different ones depending on which carrier you use?)

There is a thread with all the latest radios. I have a flashable zip but its old...you can also just extract the latest factory images and just flash the bootloader and radio.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I'm missing the point here...
Was the original question not "Can I easily flash 5.1.1?" And the answer is "Yes". So why has the focus switched to Kitkat and flashing separate components, surely not the simplest way of getting a working integrated device...? Installation of the factory Nexus ROM, or the Chroma ROM, will wipe everything anyway unless you specify "no wipe", which isn't recommended for a major change.
Am I misunderstanding?

Just a bit I think. I think its because I kind of ended up adding another question to the thread sort of. Right now the phone is using all parts associated with 4.4.4 (I.E. Radio & Bootloader) and a stock 4.4.4 rom. I originally wanted to know if i could just flash a custom 5.x.x rom without needing to flashing a new bootloader or radio as i wasnt sure if there were ones. Then I also asked if there was a rom that is still under development for 4.4.4 that was worth a shot. Sorry If i made it more confusing with this post lol.

But why stick with Kitkat and jump through hoops with all the concomitant risks when you can one-click upgrade to the newest version? I'm still not getting why you're asking about Kitkat when you originally asked if it was easy/safe to upgrade to Lollipop 5.1.1.
Hint - yes, it is.

Your best bet would be to flash the factory image. This will update the radio and bootloader. Then reinstall the recovery and flash away.
