I have been using my tf300 since it came out and just using CM9. I never took an OTA update. Last version I was on was .29 with 4.04.
My question is...can I flash to a JB ROM with my current setup or do I need to flash a new recovery or get to JB bootloader etc?
I am way more knowledgeable with my phone and ROMs and I do no want to brick my tablet. I have read quite a bit but not sure what I should do.
Any help is appreciated. I'd like to ultimately flash CleanROM....

So just verify that you are in ICS bootloader (on your settings).
Are you unlock or not?
If you want to flash TWRP recovery ( for the moment, CWM have known issues), you must be unlocked.
Once you're unlocked,
Read the NVFLASH thread,
TWRP thread,
and finally, you can flash the rom that you want.
Click to my sig, and you will find all links for that
So like the title says I have been out of the ROM game for a little bit. Every couple of months I check in and see whats new and flash something else.
I was on the Jelly Beans ROM (Build 16 I think) and Android 4.1. I did some searching last night as was going to try flashing Gummy ROM…bad idea. I am guessing I needed something prior to jumping up to a 4.4 base. I booted to recovery and wiped everything and tried to flash with no luck. So the phone would not boot and I could only get into recovery and download mode. I did not have my micro SD adapter in order to get jelly beans back on it to flash so I ended up having to use odin to flash a stock rooted 4.1 image. Finally got everything back up and running but I still want to try some of the 4.4 ROMs. So what exactly do I need first in order to flash one? (Modem maybe)…if you know for sure why that happened and what I need to do please let me know. Thanks!
My Current "About Phone" Info...
Android Version - 4.1.2
Baseband version - I535VRBMB1
Jelly Beans - Build 20
P.S. I have tried doing the research and nothing I have found has been clear but one thing I came across is the official 4.3 update was bad news and broke the root methods? So should I stay away from 4.3 ROMs and is the old root method blocked in 4.4 as well or is that a different case since it wasn't actually released for our phone. If that makes sense lol

you need the latest recoveries to flash kk roms. cwm is here https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
and twrp is here http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/102. make sure you download the d2vzw version
if you're rooted you should have no problems flashing 4.4 rom. I recommend beanstalk from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354113. has worked great for me. you have to also update the modem to ML1 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788313
as always do a nandroid before you do anything and you should backup your sd card to your computer. they probably will move post this to another thread.
good luck

ahh I didn't even think of that? I do know for a fact whatever version of CWM i had was not recent..Are you sure that is the only issue? so with a newer recovery...like I have now that I fixed my phone..I can flash a 4.4 ROM no problem? I could have sworn I remember hearing something about needing a certain modem...or something similar

yes. flash the ML1 modem. I provided the link in my previous post. it's a fact that earlier recoveries won't flash kk roms. I found out the hard way myself. hopefully you'll have titanium or rom toolbox to backup your apps with data.

Thanks a lot!!.. So how do I know if my recovery is new enough? I was never a fan of the touch recoveries because I felt like it would be easier to do something on accident so I haven't tried one in a while...I am using clockwork mod recovery 6.0.4.5. Is that new enough??
Also one lasttttt question I swear...can someone give me a quick list of the different recovery options that are out there now...and maybe list some features of each...thank you

that recovery is fine. i've only used cwm and twrp.. had some problems with philz recovery so I ditched it. basically they're all the same. twrp lets you name your back where as cwm just uses some default name which of course you can change with a file manager. twrp also wipes all 3 (system, cache and dalvik) with one swipe where as cwm requires 3 separate operations. I really haven't done much in recovery other than wiping and flashing. I'm actually on the latest twrp and have had no problems flashing kk roms. keep in mind that you can't backup in cwm and restore it using twrp and vice versa. it's really more a personal preference as far as I'm concerned.
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

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?
Sent from my XT1032 using Tapatalk
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 !

Depends on whether you are on jb or kk. Jb I would go with either eclipse or nexesque.
Cm11 if you are on kk.

If you're asking that question, then I'm beginning to wonder if you know how to do it at all and you might want to proceed with caution. Not understanding how to flash can potentially cause you to bork your phone, which then causes a whole host of other issues. You should research more and learn about it before continuing.
If you do know how to flash or are comfortable with the directions given below, then here you go, but I'm not responsible for anything that might happen to your phone:
You must use TWRP or CWM for the KK kernel. Get either one from the links below and flash them to your phone:
TWRP -> http://loki.rombitch.com/Devs/Dhacker29/msm8960/TWRP2710-RAZR-HD_M-KITKAT.img
CWM -> http://loki.rombitch.com/Devs/Dhacker29/msm8960/CWM6049-RAZR-HD_M-KITKAT.img
Go here to get the latest nightly of CM11 ROM and place it on your external SD card of your phone -> http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=moto_msm8960
Go here to get the latest GAPPs (Google Apps - play store, etc) and place it on your external SD card of your phone -> http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
Boot into TWRP or CWM. You need to wipe cache, dalvik, data (doesn't wipe your internal SD card, just the /data partition), and system.
Flash CM11 image
Flash GAPPS
Wipe Cache and Dalvik
Reboot and profit
Any other issues, search this thread or google. There are plenty of answers in here that should help.

I actually get better battery life with it than in stock and WiFi seems more stable than stock.
Using Xposed and Greenify, I can make my Droid RAZR HD (non-MAXX) last a day and a half with normal usage.
WiFi stability on the latest nightly (8-10-2014) seems excellent. I haven't had any dropped signals at home. Work is different, but I'm beginning to think it's the work router that is at fault as at home, I get a strong signal throughout the house (and our router is in the basement).

I am quite comfortable, but people started talking about different kernels and I just wanted to be positive. Does this need to go in slot 1? I remember CM10 for my old RAZR had to and I'm not fond of CM as I remember they always had GPS and wifi problems which are a big deal for me, so I always went with more stable roms.

Uh, as I mentioned, you must use TWRP or CWM recovery. CM11 doesn't use Safestrap.
There are no slots. You must have an unlocked bootloader and have already upgraded to the latest official KK release in order to use this.
As for Wifi and GPS issues, those are going to exist whether you are on stock KK or CWM. That's on Motorola's end to fix.

Obviously, there is much more to learn for you as I suspected. That is why I asked, because just by the questions you were asking, I could tell you were not familiar with flashing the CM11 ROM, especially since you mentioned using slot 1. That is for Safestrap and it is different from using TWRP or CWM. There are not slots in TWRP or CWM. Once you've flashed a custom ROM, there is no stock ROM available unless you flash an FXZ back, which then means you've lost the custom ROM. There is not switching between the two like in Safestrap because with CWM or TWRP, you are able to flash custom kernels due to an unlocked bootloader.
Which then leads me to my next assumption - you don't have an unlocked bootloader, do you?
You need to first flash back to stock, then upgrade to stock KK 4.4.2. Then, use Towelroot to root your phone, then use Motopocalypse to unlock your bootloader, then flash TWRP or CWM, then flash CM11.
I'm not going to rehash everything in this thread. The information is out there, you just have to look for it and it's not that hard to find.
Go here to get your phone to stock KK, root and unlock the bootloader -> http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/46155-rootunlock-442-182183-razr-hdm-only/
You MUST unlock the bootloader before you proceed to install CM11.
Please, read, read and re-read what is posted there BEFORE you attempt to do it. It's not that difficult to do but we always get people who attempt to do the unlocking WHILE reading the post for the first time and they end up borking their phone and more work is needed to fix it, or worse, they've perma-bricked it because they went and tried something different.
After you have flashed back to stock KK, rooted and unlocked your bootloader, THEN you may proceed to load up CM11 as I outlined above.

I already have an unlocked bootloader. I'm rooted with 4.4.2 Carbonite. The only thing I need help with is getting to 4.4.4. I'm not very knowledgeable with the RAZR Maxx Hd, but on my old razr I used a tool to flash up to the next update then I flashed the rom. I was just wondering if that's the same deal with the Maxx HD.

All the links I posted will get you to 4.4.2 stock. Carbonite is not stock. You have to ensure you are on 4.4.2 stock before you can flash to CM11.
Again, ALL the links I posted will get you there. Follow them. Read, read, and re-read them before doing anything. I don't know how much more I can help you. I'm not going to rehash and repost what is already outlined in the links I gave you.
If you are already unlocked, skip the towelroot and motopocalypse steps and just flash your phone back to stock 4.4.2. All the links are there to get you the files and tools you need.
Once that is done, then just go flash twrp or cwm and then go get CM11 and you'll be on 4.4.4

Flash back to stock IF you have never upgraded to stock Kit Kat (what you are currently on does NOT count as stock). If you HAVE upgraded to STOCK Kit Kat (from Motorola) at any time, then skip this step and go to step 2. Only flash back to stock KK if you have never upgraded your phone to stock KK. Custom ROMs do NOT count as upgrading to KK. To flash back to stock, go here -> http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/45494-fxz-442-1834610/
Flash TWRP to your phone. You MUST have the latest TWRP that works with the KK kernel. Get it here ->

Flash CM11 to your phone. Get the latest nightly here -> http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=moto_msm8960.
Go to TWRP.
Wipe/format the data, cache, dalvik and system partitions.
Flash CM11
Flash GAPPS to your phone. Get it here -> http://itvends.com/gapps/gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip
After flashing gapps, wipe cache and dalvik
Reboot.
Profit.
I really cannot make it any simpler than that. If you can't follow these directions, then I'm not sure what else I can do to help you.
Good luck!

Hey guys,
I just unlocked my stock xt926 (Build 183.46.10 Kit Kat) using towelroot and motopocalypse. I then installed TWRP 2.7.1.0 (Kit Kat 4.4 build from Original development section) and did a backup of the stock ROM. I tried installing a couple builds of Cyanogenmod 11, but all of them get stuck on the red M. I got the latest snapshot from get.cm, as well as the one posted by epinter. I sent them over USB and used Ubuntu to validate MD5's using md5sum. I do a full wipe (of everything but internal storage) and install just the ROM, not Gapps, kernels or anything else. After a reboot, nothing but the red M. It will flash once every 5-10 minutes, but I let it sit for 45 minutes without anything else happening.
I also tried it in CWM6 (Kit Kat build from original development) and had the same results.
Right now I'm trying Gummy to see if it's just a CM thing, but has anyone else encountered this? If so, did you find a fix?
Thanks!
Make sure you are using a recent nightly. The earlier M snapshots are based on the JB kernel. I think the current nightly use the kk kernel but check the cm11 thread in the development section.

I am having the same issue, I have basically done/flashed the same things but seems like no matter what I just get stuck on splash screen.... And my phone gets HOT- too hot to touch...

I think snapshots are for jb bootloader.
And doesn't CM tell you to flash gapps?
Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

I also used CWM and not TWRP. I'm not much help as I'm on stock kk with xposed at the moment. I need Moto exchange services because AOSP has to many issues. I'm missing lots of CM11 favorites (like working BT with Wifi lol).

Gapps is not required. It just means you won't have Google Play store and other google apps on the phone until you go back and flash them, but NOT flashing gapps will not cause the phone to hang.
You have to ensure you are using the correct CM11 tree, especially if you are on the KK bootloader.
Go here to grab the latest nightlies for KK bootloaders -> http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=moto_msm8960
Grab the latest nightly, not snapshot, as someone else stated.
