downgrade to ics! - Transformer TF300T General

Hi, yesterday i was bored so i try to downgrade to ics from jb.
1) Why do you need to downgrade to ics?
- I love to play games with my tf300t. With android 4.1 and 4.2 all my games was too slow and buggy and i wasn't able to install chainfire 3d. Also on my tf300t ics without any weak or mod is faster than all jb rom.
2) I haven't try to return on jb so i don't know if it is possible so please don't try if you want to stay on jb.
3) what are the steps? (for advanced user)
-I recommend a full wipe from jb twrp recovery before flash ics.
- first download the 9.4.5.30 firmware from tf700 forum.
-enter fastboot mode from tablet.
-flash the firmware trought fastboot.
-reboot and enjoy ics on tf300t with 1.5 ghz kernel. ( i can't pass 1.2 ghz )
-optional you can download last twrp recovery for tf700 and flash but you have to change theme because the resolution is wrong.
-for root use motochopper
4) with this metod you can't use nvflash and you can't flash any ics rom like hydro 4.4.
I hope someone can take advantage from my guide and sorry for my bad english.

I don't think you can go back to jb either so make sure this is what you want before doing it.

Root for ICS on B40 TF101, as current stock ICS ROM have problem.

Sorry. I am a little uninformed. Just wondering is there root for ICS on B40 TF101.
Remember trying a root method some weeks ago, but it didn't work.
I would like to change to a custom ROM, as current stock ROM is giving me problem.
Screen will hang for no reason, showing the Asus logo and the device heats up during the period when it hang.
Also, whenever I remove my voice function from the keyboard, it will unknowingly come back after a reboot.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks.
Search for ViperMod (use option 1) to root.
After that use RecoveryInstaller to install CWM recovery
Use CWM recovery to flash custom ROM.
thanks for the prompt reply!
will do it ASAP!
can't wait to get rid of the stock ROM.

I wasn't planning on unlocking until I read all the things he listed that you can add with his rom. Just want it to be more stable before I go for it tho.

I unlocked my device when seanz stated that he was uploading his rom. He is a machine at developing. Multiple updates and he responds to feedback. Anyone that owns a skyrocket can verify.

So are you saying that if i follow those steps I too could have an unlocked boot loader? Launch weekend purchase, have been getting OTAs automatically but still no unlock.
I'll try it out... maybe won't even root it just in case that causes issues.
Looking forward to trying this JB out (as long as all goes well).

Asus system update.

So I just received my tablet. I received a system firmware update . Should I ignore since I plan to root and install custom rom.
THE BOSS AKA THE BEAST !
Well if you plan on unlocking the device and installing custom roms its up too you. The unlocking app dosent care what firmware you have. I also believe they can all be 1 click rooted, again if you unlock then rooting isnt going to be an issue.
True, 1ClickRoot worked fine with my TF300T running the .30 update.

If you're gonna flash cm9 or aokp then it won't matter. Flashing a stock based from requires you to have the latest firmware.

What's the version of update?
Anything newer than 9.4.3.30 ?

You can still install the update through fastboot
If im correct the update fixes wifi issues and better pictures taken from the camera
Thanks actually after I flashed Asus hydro from it updated the camera which was part of the state, update package along with some stability tweaks and stuff

I just have received my TF300TG; I also got an update just after I connected to a wi-fi network; looks pretty nice and I think I'll play with it a little more before rooting and other stuff. Man, this is my first Asus and my first tablet. My wife will be really jealous (she has a new ipad).

No, that's the latest one. We'll probably get 4.1 directly, there isn't much sense in updating ICS when the JB version is right around the corner .

Yes, this is the one. Worked fine with my TF300T running the latest firmware (.30) and a locked bootloader. You'll be fine with that method (use the 1.1 version).

[Q] TWRP = only flash roms that are based on the Asus OTA?

I've had my TF300 for a few weeks now and am disappointed with the sluggishness of the offical JB ROM when compared to my GS2 on AOKP or even my wife's Tablet S with stock ICS. I'd like to try some of the modified official ROMs or CM10.
After searching these forums for a while and reading the various guides, it seems like the easiest way to unlock and root the tablet is to use the Asus unlocker apk then use fastboot to install TWRP. When I downloaded TWRP I noticed it said:
"If you have taken the official Asus Jellybean OTA then be sure to install the '-JB' version of the recovery for your device - and only flash roms that are based on the Asus OTA."
Does this really mean I'm restricted to ROMs based on the official JB? If I go with CWM will I be able to install any ROM? Am I stuck no matter what because I already have the OTA JB? Thanks for the help if anyone can answer, I just couldn't cobble together a clear answer from the threads I read.
You can flash any Rom you like with Twrp. You just have to dl the right version for the bootloader.
I am using Twrp from the beginning and never had any problems with it.

Thanks for the reply. So is the caution on the TWRP site just superfluous? I have to admit that it makes me nervous going forward.
It means you need to flash roms that support the JB bootloader. So no ICS roms.
there are a few CM roms that are based on JB that will flash fine. Just today I tried 2 CM roms and one hybrid CM+AOKP port on my TF300t that was running the OTA JB update (unlocked and TWRP'd).
Just be for sure anything you flash says for JB bootloader. There are a few 4.1 cm based roms for the old ics bootloader. The warning you saw on the website is just trying to warn because so many people just flash **** without reading.

Care to make a how-to video? Joking of course... Just bemoaning my incompetence... I get the Asus bootloader apk, and I know how to flash roms using twrp (I have used it for about a year on my S2 and S3) but from what I read, installing twrp on the tf300 looks more challenging than on my phone. I will keep searching, but I may be forced to throw on my flame suit and start a thread if I cant get this resolved soon! :laugh:
go the the video thread and look for the video titled
"How to Flash ClockWorksMod Recovery + ROOT ( Works on ALL Fimrware )"
just use the twrp.blob instead of the CM one and you're good to go.

I can say that it certainly is a lot smoother, especially for a stock rom. It also fixed some wake issues that I was having.

Voodoo OTA rootkeeper was able to restore root for me (I'm on locked bootloader as well). However, since you need to install Voodoo While still having root that won't help you very much, but it might be worth knowing for other people
It feels a lot snappier to me though - although statements like this are always subjective and rather unreliable, as they're hardly based on verifiable facts.

that is what i am asking for others. if they fastboot flash the blob. then fastboot flash recovery. let recovery install su they will be updated with root correct. thats what your saying. i only ask im still on previous version. wondering if even worth upgrading. since i only really flashed to get firmware of last release then went to cm10.2.
