Update from ICS when unlocked with TWRP?

I am on ICS 4.0.3... 9.4.5.30 I am rooted, unlocked and have TWRP. I can't find anything consistent online to get this thing to JB so I can install the latest Clean Rom. And I can no download anything from Asus' website... It just DOESN'T work! Nothing there to DOWNLOAD........
"*Remember you must be on the JellyBean bootloader for CROMi 3.xx"
It seems like there are no consistent way to do this, if anyone has a way please help.....
Thanks

First make sure you have TWRP version 2.3.1.0 or 2.3.3.0 recovery, if you have the old version it will brick your device when you wipe data. Next you need to download the latest Asus full firmware from Asus site. Go here http://www.service.asus.com/ then click on download, then type in search box tf700 hit search, then pick tf700, then pick O/s is Android, click on firmware and find the correct SKU for your region like US for United State, under neath you see a icon of a floppy disk called "Global" click on it to download. Asus site is slow to nagivate so be patient. Once you download the zip file, first unzip it to another zip file, then copy to your sdcard, then boot into twrp (the recommended version), then flash this zip, once done, you will lose TWRP because this is a full firmware with JB bootloader. You need to fastboot back TWRP, then use twrp to flash Cleanrom. That's it!! Just ask if still need help.

Well I finally got the asus website to download the file for me.. Chrome issue I guess..
I then got lucky when I flashed it because I have No Clue what version of twrp I have.. lol I just flashed it with goo manager so I am amusing latest. This is my first experience with these asus products.... sorry for the ignorance. (only moto and samsung devices in the past)
It says right on the NV flash page to not use it with post 9.4.5.30....
"'THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOU HAVE A PRE 9.4.5.30 BOOTLOADER"
That is what I had, now I have 10.4.4.25... um 9 is < 10 right?....
Even though I used OTA root keeper I lost root too, I guess I have to start over from here.....?
Thanks!

No, you unlocked right? read my instruction you need to reflash twrp then you can flash custom rom. You can follow instruction from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1938129 start with section 2, make sure you download the latest twrp (2.3.3.0 goomanager won't help you here).

I am unlocked. I will have to use the fastboot method to get twrp again right? Is there another way? My computer has been having issues with ADT, since you can't just get the good ol SDK anymore....
I'll try anyway..

Eventually you will need to use fastboot/adb, so I suggest to get it working. Once it's working it only take a few seconds to flash twrp. In the future when Asus release another firmware with a different bootloader, you will need to do the same again.

OK so I ran the fastboot command to install twrp
sending 'recovery' (7618 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.842s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 6.945s]
finished. total time: 9.789s
But my tab seems stuck. It shows the fastboot screen with a bar that is highlighted about 60% of the way. Do I reboot my self? I would hate to brick this thing...

do fashboot reboot command to reboot. BTW, you flash the 2.3.1.0 or 2.3.3.0 version of TWRP right? if not may brick your device if you try to wipe. Once boot into twrp, please check the version.

Yes I did "openrecovery-twrp-2.3.3.0-tf700t.blob".
Thank you!! now I need to figure out how to re-root.. I found a how to for CWM..
Edit:
I found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929712
This is why these forums drive me nuts. No one seems to put what version of android any of this if for....
Edit2:
comments say it works for JB. Going for it.. lol
Edit3: Worked, time for Clean Rom then ubuntu. LOL
Thanks for all your help, and for not being a typical XDA a$$.

You could have just updated to the 10.4.4.25 bootloader in post 2 of the cromi thread from twrp.

[Q] Please Help

I've got myself (and my tablet) into a complete mess.
When I got my tablet it was already unlocked and running ICS (I think).
I decided it was time to upgrade to cyanogenmod Kit Kat.
I started with this tutorial: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_tf700t
I flashed the custom recovery : "recovery-jb-644"
I chose "cm-10.2.0-tf700t" as I was nervous about the nightly. Something went wrong.
The tablet started but crashed after a few minutes and rebooted. I added "gapps-jb-20130813-signed" - it was worse - now the keyboard also crashed.
After that, I tried numerous things to recover it.
Now, I cant access it through the fastboot - it gives the serial number but won't push anything or flash anything.
I put the following on an sd card and tried to install from there but I get:
status 7 assert failed: write_raw_image (" /tmp/blob" , "staging )
or any number of similar messages. I tried the solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235724 which worked once but not again.
My current situation:
The picture attached shows the current installation - it will boot - I have no Google Apps - and it crashes within a minute and then reboots.
I'm not a complete newbie, but I cant find a simple explanation of what to do next.
I just want the tablet to work again, I don't care anymore if its Kit Kat, ICS, Jelly Bean or Honeycomb.... I even considered Linux...
Please help.

Apparently you missed the big fat red warning on the tutorial you linked. You need to install a 10.6.1.14.x bootloader.
(And you need to make sure your recovery is compatible with that bootloader, otherwise you risk a hard brick when you wipe data).

OK, so I've downloaded it, but I still can't install it because of the
status 7 assert failed: write_raw_image (" /tmp/blob" , "staging )
How do I get around this?

According to the page you linked, you are supposed to download a blob file and flash it via fastboot:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_tf700t#Update_Bootloader_To_Compatible_Version
You didn't say yet in which way fastboot didn't work for you.

Hi,
Thank you for replying.
I can't do "fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging XX_bootloaderblob"
When I am in the CMD window, I can do fastboot devices and it see's my serial number, but as soon as I want to actually do something, it tells me the device is not available.
The same goes for any adb commands I want to do.
The only way I found of doing it is through the sideload, but now even this doesnt work.

Hi Again,
Your comment gave me an idea - I did the bootloader fastboot through the sideloader - and it worked!!!
I then added the "gapps-jb-20130813-signed" and now it is crashing on the setup wizard.... and the keyboard crashes.
Any ideas?

I really have no idea... I just checked - you did flash the gapps package for CM 10.2 and I assume you also checked the box "verify zip signature" in your recovery before you flashed gapps?
If not, it maybe as simple as a bad download....

[Q] T300 install CM 10.1 and up to TWRP 2.7

I know this is the wrong place to post this, but everywhere else tells I can't. So here goes:
I've a T300 with AndroidBlue 3.0 and JB 4.1.1 on nit. Web browsing is typically slow.
I need to up TWRP from 2.2 to the latest and greatest, and would like some input as to whether or not going with CM 10.1 would help my "Browsing Experience"?
It seems that Rom Toolbox would take care of installing CM (or from TWRP), and TWRP Manager (with the right file - it dl's the ICS version) would take care of that.
Correct?
I'm sure this has been discussed before, but searching has yielded pages and pages that do not help.
All help have my thanks in advance.

OK so first you have to update that ancient bootloader of yours to use KitKat. Do that by flashing the latest Stock ROM via fastboot.

Thank you for answering - I've been ill since I wrote that, so I'm finally getting back to you. I'm looking at ASUS's site, as I can not find my build number (AndroidBlue over-wrote that in status) - but this is a US version, so I'm assuming 10.6.1.27.1 US SKU?
Can I not flash this via TRWP - I'm assuming Fastboot, just as when I flashed TWRP.
When I flash this will everything be back to stock: no root, no TWRP?

Hope you get getter
10.6.1.27.1 Will work, and I suggest flashing with fastboot so you can confirm that fastboot works so you can reflash TWRP later. When you do flash the 10.6.1.27.1 stock, everything will be erased, including TWRP, so you will have to flash a newer version of TWRP. That can be the stable branch here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2772093

I don't see the "THANKS" button.......
Ok, so if I do this I LITERALLY start over, and should ASUS up another F/W version, I do this all over - correct?
Here's the REAL crux of the matter; I like the unit as it is EXCEPT that half the day the wifi sucks, either via 3g phone or RV park WiFi which I built! I'm getting closer to the reason for this, close my Dell 6400 down and the WiFi gets better, so interference.
OVERALL, would upping this one (I have 2) make any perceptible difference on the WiFi? I mean all else is fine.
So I need 3 things: newest F/W (have), Latest TWRP(don't have - yet but looking, 2.7 I believe), latest way to root(don't know) - Correct?
Again where is that thanks button!!!!!

Thanks button is below the username at the end of the post
Upping the tf300 would make the pages load faster on the tablet after they have downloaded, and would make Chrome or whatever other browser you are using load the page much faster. It would unlikely change the download speed to the tablet.
It's also unlikely that Asus will release another FW version because the tf300 is already 2 or 3 years old and they tend to cut support after that time. Then again, they could release an update tomorrow for no reason, but that doesn't mean the bootloader has to change requiring you to flash stock again. I updated my stock FW a more than a year ago and there has been 2 or 3 updates since that, but the bootloader hasn't changed so I haven't done any of those updates.

That's the problem - WAY too many links ... I'm downloading the one in you response but that would be the latest CM nightly - correct?
I would rather have the most stable KitKat, as you've stated that works the best with my older devices. But which is the file for the T300?
SO, CROMi-X_DEODEX_5.4_Signed.zip as DEOdexed is a bit better. Now I assume as I can't do a nanobackup I can skip that , just do a Wipe Factory from TWRP.
I can't believe how easy this was when I did 4 different tablets and 2 phones and now ... maybe I was sicker than I thought.

I linked you to the latest build of CROMBi-kk, the updated version of CROMi. From the ROMs I have tested, it is the most stable KitKat ROM, assuming you don't want those cutting edge features.

Sorry misunderstood. While I've been waiting for the ROM to dl, I noticed that my notes have fastboot xxxxxxx boot recovery.img, yet mostly what I see is fastboot xxxxxx recovery recovery.img. I also noticed that when I do a Vol/Dn/Pwr I get the 3 icons and have to select RCK to get to TWRP - I haven't noticed that mentioned anywhere - did I screw up?
To be clear - I want wipe / and "swipe to factory reset) then flash KK.
I going to try VERY hard to leave you alone now - I have taken way too much advantage of your kindness in helping me.

I'm not sure what you are talking about with "fastboot xxxxxxx boot recovery.img, yet mostly what I see is fastboot xxxxxx recovery recovery.img". As long as TWRP is working you shouldn't have to use fastboot anymore.
The new bootloader that you upgraded to only has 3 icons when you press vol-down and power. Fastboot now connects automatically if you turn on your tablet with the USB plugged in and pressing the key combo. To access TWRP, selecting RCK is the correct choice. As always, never select the Wipe Data in the bootloader menu or you will brick.
Before flashing new ROMs, you should only have to do the "swipe to factory reset" option in the TWRP recovery. If you update your ROM with a newer version of that specific ROM, you only have to Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache.

[Solved] Bricked TF300T?

Hello all,
Greetings and let me get straight to the point. First, sorry for being a noob. Basically, I was trying to install this "[ROM][LP 5.0.0_r2] [ KatKiss-Lollipop #003 ] [F2FS] [Beta]" on the TF300T US version on the latest bootloader. I entered TWRP and did a full wipe like I would always do to install a new rom. My last rom was the Omnirom Nightlies, which I have been using for some time now. The problem comes in here, I performed the usual procedures, but now, after installing the new rom ([ROM][LP 5.0.0_r2] [ KatKiss-Lollipop #003 ] [F2FS] [Beta]), it wouldn't boot (stuck at Katkiss logo) for a full hour, so I went back to the recovery and tried to reinstall the Omnirom and gapps that were always in my SD card. However, the log says it couldn't mount the system and data. I clicked the "Mount" button in TWRP and it says my storage is 0 mb! Now, I couldn't install anything or get it to boot. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

I've tried, but fastboot won't open on my computer (I open it and it closes) and the only accessible place on my tablet is the TWRP recovery.

I finally had time to fix my tablet today and this time it worked, but much patience was needed. In summary, it wasn't the rom that screwed me up, it was me being stupid by wiping the data and then flashing a new version of TWRP without a rom installed, which leads to bricking.
I highly recommend that you revert the tablet back to the stock rom before trying to install another custom rom. To revert back to the stock rom, first download the firmware from Asus' website (http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=ASUS+Transformer+Pad+TF300T&p=28&s=1) no parentheses. This is for the TF300T only, not the TL or TG models; if you have the other two models, just Google your tablet's model number+firmware and it is better if you download it off Asus' website and also beware of which countries' SKU you are downloading (Mine is the US version, so it is like this: "Version US_V10.6.1.27.5". Extract the zip file until you get a 'blob' file of around 800 MB.
Instructions:
First of all, get your TF300T into Fastboot Mode by pressing the VOL- and POWER buttons and you will see three icons labeled 'RCK', the android robot, and the "Wipe Data" icon.
Second, download Java JDK and Android SDK and... Follow the instructions from this website: (http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/07/30/how-to-set-up-adb-fastboot-with-android-sdk/) no parentheses.
Note: Even though the instructions are for entering fastboot on a Galaxy Nexus, it should also work for the TF300T as it did for me. Once again, be patient and follow instructions step-by-step to set up Fastboot on your computer (assuming it runs on Windows).
Third, in the folder where you have the system 'blob' file, look at steps 10-12 on this website (http://www.android.gs/restore-asus-transformer-pad-tf300t-to-stock-android-4-0-3-ics-firmware/) no parentheses.
Lastly, reboot and there you have a working TF300T and you become a happy tablet owner!
EXTRA: If you want to install a custom rom, follow these instructions: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579922) no parentheses.
Sorry if my guide was bad; it was brief and this is basically what a 17-year-old inexperienced noob myself could do and explain. If you followed all the instructions on the websites above, you should be able to fix your dilemma.
Good luck and happy Thanksgiving!

Please help me! Cant install any ROM on my OnePlus!

Hi Everyone!
Because of having issues i can´t fix on my OnePlus, i´m finally asking for some professional help here, as it´s getting more and more complicated and i don´t want to ruin my phone.
What was my plan?
Installing CM11S 44S on my OPO, which had the 05Q Version as factory setting.
Also i wanted to install a franco kernel.
I hoped, if i do both steps successfully, my OPO will have a good battery life (44S seemed to be the most efficient version, according to some forums).
What did i do so far?
First i set up an adb backup for my data, but not for the OS. However, i installed SDK plus tools and drivers.
Next step was installing a new recovery, which is able to flash a new version of CM11S, so i set up TWRP with fastboot, which means my device is "unlocked" now.
Everything worked well so far, i also made an backup in TWRP.
The problem:
I wanted to reboot my OPO at some point and TWRP asked me for rooting my device. Accidentally i swiped over so it started rooting process, but i didn´t want to root it, so i immediately shut the device down.
By now TWRP recovery/fastboot is working, but my OS 05Q is lost and i can´t install a new ROM because im getting the Report:
--
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check; no MD5 file found
Error flashing zip /<path to .zip file>
--
Can anyone help me to get 05Q back or the 44S with the franco kernel?
I know there might be some other threads that deal with similar problems, but actually none of them helped me so far. For example: do i need a fastboot image or signed flashable zips (which i have)? In which order do i install the kernel and the ROM?
Some Information:
I can access my device via fastboot and my OPO is also shown as a adb device on my MAC.
When starting in TWRP, i can also access the device in USB Mode, transfering files is also possible.
I´m not really competent with android modding or programming, so i will need some noob-friendly answers, but i bet you guys know how to help me out here.
Thank you very much for your help, i really don´t know what to do anymore.
EDIT:
I found out how to place a md5 file to the referring version, but it still sais: MD5 does not match.
I´m so done with it right now that i wish i had my OPO back as it was few days ago.

Well, i cant really help here as i have not face this problem but ur mistake was that u Immediately shut the device down the moment it was installing root. It may have corrupted the partitions of the phone and left it at that state, so maybe restoring the partitions of that section may help. Like i said im not knowledgeable about this

Agreed, you shouldn't have shut down the phone while it was modifying a partition. The root wouldn't have mattered anyway because you were about to overwrite the system partition by flashing a ROM. Go to my guide thread and look at section 8 to flash the stock images for the build you desire:

Yes you can still use fastboot on a Mac, but you'll need to Google how to set it up on a Mac first.
