Yes, you can... It is a good guide if you can follow it.. You must make sure that you have the latest bootloader and compatible TWRP.. Those are very important so you are not brick your device... Good luck and ask all the questions that you have before trying to install the TWRP and bootloader...:fingers-crossed:

ok so i'm having a bit of trouble following this guide...
1) I installed TWRP (with the help of this page) http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/105 I had to use the Download - Recovery Image / Fastboot Method because the app method wouldn't download the blob file
2) Now, when I power + volume down boot I can see my bootloader isn't the correct version. how can I update the bootloader? I have the files from the original link i posted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481892) so there is the correct bootloader i just don't know how to install it.
is there a more detailed guide with actual step by steps?

Congrats on getting TWRP installed! The rest is easy.
In TWRP select 'Install' and navigate to wherever you have the zip file with the bootloader/TWRP package, select it (if it has xxx signed.zip in the file name you need to check the "verify zip signature" option. sbdags usually signs his zips - don't know if he did with this one).
Swipe the button to flash the file.
When it finished, boot back to system. Do not flash a rom at this point! That would cancel the bootloader flash. Boot back into system first, then back into TWRP and then flash the rom.
BTW - flashing the modified Asus stock rom is perfectly fine, but I wonder why you don't flash CROMi-X 5.2.2?
That rom is from the same developer, based on this stock rom and miles improved since sbdags debloated the stock version.
sbdags stock rom is not really supported whereas he puts out a better version of CROMi-X about every 10 days! It's exhausting to keep up! LOL
You'll find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425383
You can still flash the BL/TWRP package you downloaded already. It's the same as the one for CROMi-X.

Thanks, Honestly whatever custom rom I have now can randomly reboot and i think is giving me touch screen issues so was just going to hit up a stock install and see if that fixes any problems.
gonna try out the rom you suggested and i can always go back if necessary.
one thing, when i installed theTWRP the blue bar filled up completely and i left it for about 10 minutes and it was still there. so i powered down and everything booted back up correctly (and i can get into the recovery mode).
does everything sound ok to proceed?

You have to kick it out when it is completed by using the fastboot command or just using your power button.. So you are good to go...
You have to try out all the rom and kernels that are available then choose the best one that fit your need...Good luck...

[Q] something like CMInstaller for my TF700?

Hi guys,
I'm a total noob regarding ROMs, root, etc..
My Infinity is getting really laggy, and I really need to bring it to a new life..
I was looking for an ideal CMInstaller situation like i used on my Galaxy Note N7000.. This little app is great cuz it does everything for us and noob users like myself don't need to be afraid to brick their devices..
Is there any really easy solution like this so I can safely flash my TF700?
TIA.

I think the answer is yes and no
I run CROMI-X on this tablet, but recently I download the latest CM and the link provided kept bouncing me to the Playstore to dl an installer app. I prefer to use my recovery, so I did not use it. But that's probably what you are looking for.
The thing is, on this device first you need to unlock the bootloader and push a custom recovery to it before you can even use an installer app. You also need to make sure that you have the correct bootloader installed before you flash the CM rom.
Check out the CM thread in the Development section.

CMInstaller so far is only compatible to most common Galaxy and nexus devices, and htc one.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/CyanogenMod_Installer#Supported_Devices
I am honestly afraid to flash my device without assistance because there are so many things to do and none of it seems easy.. I'm bootloader unlocked running stock 4.1.2, and the steps needed to take scare me..
1 - update to stock 4.2.1 (according to what I've read..)
2 - Root
3 - NVFlash
4 - Custom recovery
5 - Custom ROM
I don't even know if these steps are in proper order, but seems that so many things could go wrong.. Could you help me doing this easily and problem free? I need to do something to take full advantage of my TF700.. It clearly isn't working properly on stock.
Thanks.

I recently wrote a tutorial on Android Central for people who are new to flashing. Check it out and if anything is left unclear - ask
http://forums.androidcentral.com/as...6920-tutorial-flashing-custom-rom-tf700t.html

Hi, I read the tutorial and I already have some questions even before i start..
- Can't my device be rooted? I believe I need root for apps to access superuser, and for performance menu (or overclock).
- Where's NVFlash? If NVFlash avoids bricking my device I believe this is a MUST have if I intend to grow and experiment different recoveries, kernels and ROMs.
- My device FW ver. is 10.4.4.18, do I need to update to 10.6.1.14.10 in order to continue, or can i do it from 10.4.4.18 and still take advantage of the loophole Motochopper exploited to gain root on this device?
Thanks.

You don't need to be rooted to flash a custom ROM. You can root from 14.8 as you don't need to go to 14.10. If you are on 10.4.4.18 you are on a really old boot loader for 4.1 and will need to upgrade if you want to unlock and flash the latest ROMs.

Jeez - where did you dig up this version? I believe that was one of the first JB versions? Yes, Motochopper should work, but: Why root if you can't use Goo Manager to get a custom recovery installed? If that is your goal....
Yes, you can just root the stock ROM, but it does not give you that many options to improve the performance of this tablet. And any custom rom is rooted - so why bother?
To have NVflash is great and a wonderful reassurance and I do flash with greater abandon since I got them, but generating the blobs was the most stressful procedure in my limited flashing experience.
I don't know how comfortable you are with using cmd and fastboot - but I sure was glad to have some experience with flashing recoveries and such before I started it!
Generating the NVflash blobs involves flashing a bootloader and recovery build just for that procedure, so you need to know how to flash those in the first place (and how to flash back to your daily driver recovery/bootloader afterrwards).
There's nowhere for you to go without a custom recovery. Start with that.
I have no idea if the recovery most of us use (TWRP 2.6.1 or 2.6.3.1 - both are fine) works with the BL you currently have.
So I would update to the latest firmware, fastboot TWRP and then install CROMi-X.
You can dive into getting your NVflash blobs as soon as you have TWRP installed - that's up to you.
Edit: sbdags was faster - as usual
So there you have it: You have to update your stock firmware before you install TWRP

Wow guys.. This is why i never flash anything since bada on my Wave..
It's all so technical, confusing and intimidating.. God!!
Ok. I really need to start understanding this, so, if I got it right, I don't need to root because the custom ROM is already rooted.. Good!
Now the hard part. Please be patient and gentle, explain me like I'm 5 yo child.
- If I understood correctly first thing is upgrade FW, but to which FW should i upgrade? 10.6.1.14.10 or 10.6.1.14.8? If custom ROM is rooted, does the FW matter or not?
- Next comes recovery. Again, which one should I choose? (sdbags your opinion would be really important for me here, considering CROMi-X 5.2.2 is developed by you and the ROM i chose)
- I think I'll leave any ROM questions for later, after i finally understand these first 2 steps.
Also, regarding NVFlash, what the bleep is blobs? I'm comfortable with cmd but never used fastboot.
Thanks again!

sbdags is currently recommending TWRP 2.6.1. That is the version he included in the bootloader/TWRP package he provides in the OP (Original Post) of the CROMi-X thread.
To elaborate: In flashing custom roms the most important aspect is that you always have a compatible bootloader/recovery combination. You use your recovery to flash roms, bootloaders, kernels, wipe all or part of your SD card - the works.
If your recovery gets corrupted but you can still boot into the bootloader, you can install a new recovery using the fastboot protocol (which provides low level access from your computer). If your bootloader gets corrupted (and the most common cause is the wrong recovery) and you cannot boot into recovery, NVflash is your last chance to recover the tablet because: no bootloader = no fastboot access.
The easiest way to get a current bootloader in your situation would be to upgrade your stock firmware. The risk for something to go wrong is close to negative 1
Then you would download TWRP 2.6.1 for the TF700 from the Teamwin website and use the fastboot protocol to install it to it's proper partition.
Risk level is very low if you can follow the instructions in my little tutorial or in the Minimal ADB Fastboot Tool thread.
Once you have TWRP installed (and you tested that it's working) you could - and this is totally optional - flash the bootloader/TWRP package from sbdags OP. Just to make 100% sure you are on the correct combo.....
Also, regarding NVFlash, what the bleep is blobs? I'm comfortable with cmd but never used fast boot.
Thanks again!

A blob is a file - better: an image. Binary Large Object is the origin, I believe. For a technical explanation don't ask me! Go here:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_large_object
If you look into the Asus firmware zip file, inside is a blob and a meta data file (if memory serves me right). The blob is the system image.

What if while you are flashing a firmware and your power supply is reaching 0%, could it be a high risk? :silly:

One way is to use fastboot to flash the latest 4.2 stock ROM. The bootloader is also upgraded in the process. Then you flash the 4.2 TWRP and whatever ROM you want from there.

I've used fastboot before, but a little more info - where can we find the 4.2 stock ROM? I followed a few links off this forum that took me to ASUS support page that stated you must select your OS (which there was no option).
Is there a thread dedicated to this?
I'm sitting on CleanROM (my Aunts), and over time, I guess this thing runs like a pig (so does my mom's stock 4.2 tablet). I am looking to make these two devices actually useful again.

OK, so with this 4.1 modded tablet, if I take the latest version of 4.2, grab the blob, and do the following:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
Is that going to work, or am I going to end up with a brick?
I know that there has been some warnings on upgrading to 4.1 with 4.2 files, so I want to double check before I make a bookend out of this thing.
EDIT: Pulled the trigger - worked out fine. Now I will install a recovery and we'll be good to go!

[SOLVED] TWRP Instal

Just got a brand new TF700T today. I unlocked it and rooted it successfully. I am trying to instal TWRP so I can instal CM11 however I cannot make it happen the easy way. Goomanager is gone (what happened with that?) from the play store. Both Flashify and TWRP Manager can't find a recovery for the TF700T. What gives?
Firmware 10.6.1.14.4-20130329 if it matters. JB 4.2.1.
Id really like to avoid fastboot if I can.

Alright well lets start with updating the firmware. That should leave root intact right? So whats the best way to do that?

If you are still on stock the easiest way is to flash the latest Asus firmware.
Download your JB 4.2.2 SKU version from Asus support downloads site, unzip the downloaded file once resulting in another zip, and copy that second zip to the root of your internal SD.
The system should recognize the update file, pop up a notification about an update being available and flash it. If it doesn't, reboot.
You will loose root, but you don't need it to flash a custom rom following this:

Thanks to lj50036 I was able to get CM11 on there successfully. Everything is running so much better than it was with the stock rom. I really appreciate it!

So you already unlocked the bootloader a year ago ?
You are jumping around everywhere, I am not sure what is going on ...
Thx Josh

lol, im sorry, ill start over.
a year ago, when i bought it, i unlocked it, put the cwm recovery and burned "baked" rom which is based on android 4.2.2
didnt do anything since then.
now i want to change my rom to a new one (cm11) which is based on android 4.4.4.
every rom higher than 4.1.2 is required to have bootloader 4.2. i dont have 4.2, i have 4.1 and i dont know how to update it to 4.2.
that my main problem.
every "new" recovery from the past year requires 4.2 bootloader and i dont have it so im stuck with "baked" rom which now giving me a hard time.

anyone?

You need to flash stock ROM in order to update your Bootloader.
Here's a similar thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/help/want-to-to-stock-rom-t2861116

What did you do so far?
It's basically just flashing the stock blob:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system boot.blob
You can always wait for lj50036 and see what he suggests. He's the expert

when i wrote:
adb push bootit.ko /
it didnt gave me the right output, it gave me a long list of descriptions.
my main concern is that my android is 4.2.2 and my bootloader is 4.1 - is that even matter? is that could affect the "bricking" of the device?
if there is a video on how to flash a stock rom (downgrade) from 4.2.2 i would love a link for it
thanks!

Read the thread I linked again. You don't need to follow the whole guide to go back to stock:
"skip to the fastboot erase system command and go from there ..."
If you are unsure about the bootloader versions, just flash the stock ROM you had before and let it update itself when you are booted up in Android

You don't need to push that file to your tablet...
It's for unbricking your bootloader
