[Q] Help Flashing, Rooting, Custom ROM

Hello,
I am sorry if this is a repost of something similar, I searched and could not find what I am looking for.
I am a noob at this...
I just purchased an Asus TF300T. Completely stock. 4.2.1 with 10.6.1.27.5 firmware.
I would like to unlock the bootloader, root, flash recovery and install a 4.4.2 KitKat rom.
I have found many threads on here with what to flash, but not many "How-to" for noobs like me. I have no idea where to start.
Anyone have how-to guides or videos?
Thank you!

Outline:
Unlock the bootloader with the unlock tool
Flash TWRP 2.6.3.2 from fastboot (get adb and fastboot working on your computer first)
Flash a KitKat ROM.

Thank you. I have so far successfully unlocked the bootloader using the asus unlock tool apk.
Could you please provide me with a link to TWRP 2.6.3.2. I have only found 2.6.3.0. Also which one do I pick -4.2 or -JB?
Thanks

Hmmm.....a bit of trouble
So I've installed TWRP 2.6.3.0 -JB successfully
I then tried to install AOKP/AICP 4.4.2 and CMB 4.4.2 ROMs and am getting:
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
set_metadata_recursive:some changes failed
E: Error executing updater binary in zip 'rom zip file path'
Error flashing zip 'rom zip file path'
Updating partition details...
and now I am stuck in a recovery loop.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

First of all, don't use the -jb version of TWRP with your bootloader, you risk bricking your tablet! The right version to use is -42 for flashing 4.2 based ROMs.
For flashing the 4.4 based ROMs you need scanno's TWRP 2.6.3.2 that is not available from the official site. You can find a link in the OmniROM thread.

[Q] Status 7 error on Android 4.4

Hello guys,
I have always rooted and flashed my device according to this community and I am very grateful of the info here . I own a galaxy s2 at&t (sgh-i777)
and I have currently flashed a CM11 rom nightly compiled with linaro and sabertooth ... After getting some bugs with it I wanted to flash another CM11 rom and I followed all the steps as always and I got this status 7 error . I read here that it was a rom problem but when I tried to flash the same CM11 rom that was flashed on my device it gave the same error about operation aborted and again status 7 error .
So I wanted to ask will this "deleting the assert files on the rom components" fix the problem?

wrong rom flashing?

yes it would solve the problem...is there any possibility you are trying to flash a rom that is not made for your device?

No I checked it

Flash over PA
Hi, Thanks for the post.
I'm on PA, can i flash it dirty? Is there any change log to the 44s?

I was using your stock rooted 38R. Time for this new one now. Thanks for your great work

Is dirty flash on 38R safe?

how to flash xnph44s?
could you somehow show hot to flash it, i really need it, tq so much

Maybe i've missed something but just to be sure ; coming from stock 38r is it possible to make a straight dirty flash from stock recovery ?
Getting signature faillure here..

I just flashed the rooted 44S through the 38R rooted without flash the radio files. I have normal root after i updated the super su from play store and install it with the normal option. Do i must flash the radio files too? All seems to work ok

Just flashed 44s and I cannot change system icons

We 'll see. But now i changed the way. I flash rom and radio files, then i made full wipe and a clean installation of 44S Calkulin's rooted. Seems all work well

Do you have this file and is it OTA safe !! Or just flash this ROM ( no wipe data need right!! )
Thanks . . .

Help Needed
What are the prerequisites for flashing the rooted 44s?

So i have the 38R version from calkulin instaled, which should be OTA safe, but when I try to do the incremental update on TWRP the following message is shown:
"Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
E: Error executing updater binary in zip "/cache/"filename".zip"
And it fails to flash the zip, any ideias on why this is happening and out to solve it?
Under TWRP setting i have both "skip md5 generation during backup." and "Enable MD5 verification of backup files." unchecked.

If you moded your ROM you might not be able to update it. Easiest solution might be to flash calkulin's version again.

stock rooted XNPH44S ROM problem
After installing Calkulin's stock rooted XNPH44S ROM (many thanks Calkulin!), I understood that there was no need for a SuperSU app. So I uninstalled it and enabled root (App+ADB). But something is not well with this root new method.
My "Titanium Backup" app get stuck in the window "accessing root rights" and after a while I get a message saying that it was not able to get root access with the command "/system/xbin/su"
Apparently this is not the only one. The "File Manager" app also get stuck and after a while stops with the sorry message.
The funny thing is that I installed SuperSU 2.16 and everything is fine now.
So, I am confused. SuperSU is needed or not?
If so, should we also enable root in the develop settings?
Or should I reinstall the ROM with "persist.sys.root_access=1"?
Thanks for the support

If you are trying to official update then you can't. Because your system modified by flashing custom recovery. You need to flash stock recovery of your android to update your android.
