yes it does I did it yesterday.
[Asus Transformer TF700] johnlgalt:
No. You can downgrade from 10.4.4.16 -->9.4.5.30, but you cannot downgrade from 9.4.5.30 -->9.4.5.26. I tried that also in my efforts to get root on JB.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Dysoncube:
Wanted some clarificaion on terms

Noob question here

After reading through piles of threads and comments, I'm finding myself more confused than before. Maybe things aren't clear, or perhaps there's just too much info available to me.

My goal:

Load official Jellybean firmware on my TF700, then use superuser access to turn off obnoxious bloatware. I'm tired of app crashes.

The process:

If I understand it correctly, I need to:

- Factory reboot my device, to keep things clean

- Install rootkeeper, to enable root

- Tell rootkeeper to disable root temporarily, since asus won't allow updates to root users

- Install the JB update

- Tell rootkeeper to reactivate root

- Use superuser apps to deactivate bloatware on TF700

So, I've got some questions...

1) Does this post belong in a different thread?

2) Did I miss any steps?

3) I'm also wondering about bootloading. Unlocking unlocks the bootloader, which is the custom recovery menu, which allows a lot of custom features, like loading up custom OSs. Is this right?

4) Is unlocking the bootloader necessary? For my purposes (loading up JB with root access), would I really need the bootloader?

5) How much does the NVflash help?

6) Can you unlock without rooting?

I like the ** All-In-One Guide For Asus Infinity (TF700) thread, but it seems to be a giant dump of links, suggestions, brightly colored text, and additions from various weeks of changes. I'm sure it made sense for anyone who's been tweaking their android devices for a while, but it's somewhat garbled. If possible, I'd like to help clean it up for us newbies.
[Asus Transformer TF700] john85D:
I had rootkeeper installed but sadly after updating, rootkeeper couldn't restore my root. The checkbox beside "protected SU copy available" wasn't checked. Which is strange since I already used rootkeeper to restore root for the .30 update. Do you guys know where the rootkeeper keeps the file in ththe system? Another more suggestions to restore root without unlocking? Will the devs be coming up with a way to root with the debugfs which is way simpler for people who don't need to unlock?
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
You need to root first. Root keeper only works after you are already rooted. You can update without root keeper but you will loose root. Voodoo, root keeper gives you a chance to save root by protecting root files when you temp unroot. Some of us still lost root. If you updated to .30, nvflash is not possible. Depending on what you want to do you don't need to unlock. Unlocking voids warrants rooting does not. There are threads that cover this. Follow the instructions and you should be alright. I personally got tired of my update failures and went ahead and unlocked and eventually got jb. I now use clean room rom which is based on asus jb without the garbage.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Reseil:
Non issue.. driver problem.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sk8erord:
Blah, just updated manually to JB (the OTA kept failing, even after temp un-root with voodoo), and now Voodoo reports there is no su backup. /sigh Oh well, guess I'll enjoy JB unrooted for a bit. :P
[Asus Transformer TF700] dahas:
put on micro sd a copy of unziped zip of .30 (alone no other files and fat32 micro sd) and put it on the tablet you will get notice abut card and triangle for update :)

do the same after root and use rootkeeper to get back to JB.
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The debugfs method relies on the system to give you write access. It was really nice and simple, but this hole has been closed in JB.

You can either downgrade, unlock, or hope for new rooting methods to be found in the future.

I'm downloading the latest firmware update OTA. It seems to have stopped at 99%. There are a few mentions of stopping at 99% for other updates. I've seen different answers for whether to reboot or wait.

Thoughts?

Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] andyk11:
Jimbob_sf!!! Did you have to do anything? i.e. unzip or anything before TWRP'ing or just run it as a regular Install, Restore? did you wipe first?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jimbob_sf:
I'm unlocked and was running clean Rom 2 and twrp 2310. not having the stock recovery, I couldn't drop on the sdcard and boot to recovery. so, I simply put the zip file on the internal card and used twrp to install the update. I backed up first Nd cleared cache/dalvik. The everything you need to know post at the top of this forum was my guide.
[Asus Transformer TF700] andyk11:
Thanks Man Appreciate the help. Any problems with it yet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jimbob_sf:
No problems. I install all factory versions to get firmware updates to the hardware. 10 minutes later, I fastboot twrp and restore whatever Rom I'm running.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kisakuku:
Touch Panel: ELAN-3023-7053 is a typo, right? Mine shows 3022, not 3023. Everything else seems to be unchanged from .16 to .18.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who does that.

One thing I've noticed;it runs super HOT! My left hand can feel constant heat on the device now. What can be causing that? Never had it get that warm, on a consistent basis.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tomn8tr:
So far, mine is not running hot. Have tried a reboot? Anything running heavy in your task manager?
[Asus Transformer TF700] xRevilatioNx:
Running everything as I normally do. I notice it more so, when browsing on the stock browser. I see the device is using more memory, since the update. That could be the culprit too.

The one thing about these updates. When they fix one thing, another issue pops up.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rlarson)mn:
Did you try a cold reboot after the upgrade. I did two of them and things are not hot on my unit. Upgrade does seem to made a difference in the speed of the keyboard and the stock browser from my limited time using it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] xRevilatioNx:
Cold boot protocol was in place for this update, and my previous updates, since using this device. It's a mystery.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kisakuku:
Interesting. Any idea if this was part of your .16 update or you got it earlier/later than the .16 package?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jimbob_sf:
Just read this. I definitely have 3023. I haven't touched it since .18 came out. I'm quite happy with CR 2.3 and Clemsyn's kernel.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Kisakuku:
Thanks for the confirmation. Really bizarre that after doing a full .16 install followed by a full .18 install, my panel firmware isn't up to date. I hope once Asus posts .20, I'll catch up with everybody else.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jimbob_sf:
It's tough to say which update did what. I unboxed a new one and immediately unlocked it and went to. 16. There were lots of firmware update messages like camera, wifi... but I never paid much attention because 16 was so well known. I ran clean romantic for a while and then flashed the full 18 when it came out. Same, I just ran it and looked more for errors than what worked. none of this exactly helps, but it is info.

Once I see that the 20 bootloader doesn't mess with stuff, I'll load that for firmware updates and then go right back to where I am now.

[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
OK, you have version 22. Now if you plan to flash custom rom/kernel in the future you have the golden opportunity to create a NVflash back up. This backup will save you from bricking, but the downside is you will need to unlock the device(void warranty) and there is no way to relock. Next if you sure that you will NEVER need to unlock then you can proceed to upgrade to version .30 (ICS), root the device, install OTA root keeper to backup root, then upgrade to JB, then use OTA root keeper to restore root. Think real hard before you proceed, remember once you upgrade, there is NO WAY to make nvflash backup any more.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berfles:
That is quite a lot to think about... I've never used a custom ROM on my phone before but there's no telling what I'll end up doing with that. I'm pretty happy with the performance just of the stock ICS but I usually like tweaking things.

I don't have anything in front of me right now, how long is the warranty, a year?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
yep! so see you in a year! :))
[Asus Transformer TF700] berfles:
The whole unlocked bootloader thing being required for nandroid backups confuses me... I didn't think it would be any different than my phone but I guess it's entirely different. I know the X2's bootloader is still locked, just seems odd this one has to be unlocked to even get a recovery mode.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Without unlocking, the only thing you can do is rooting. That's it. If you unlocked, you could install, custom recovery and use custom recovery to flash rom,kernel, do nandroid backup/restore etc...

with rooted device, you could use rooted apps like Titanium backup to backup all the system/userapp/all settings, but not the O/S.(the OS included everything in it).
[Asus Transformer TF700] berfles:
Couldn't I technically do something like this if i decide i want to unlock later?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1925230&highlight=unlock

Unless I'm not following, JB can't be unlocked but if i can revert back to ICS I'd be able to unlock again. Am i totally offbase here?
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Nope, you can unlock with either ICS or JB. You only need to roll back to ICS in order to root. You can't root while you on JB..unless you unlocked of course.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berfles:
Oh, ok. I misread your first post then I guess. When you said once I upgrade I can't make the nvflash backup you must have meant there's no way to get back to this version 22 OS, right? For some reason I read it as once I upgrade to JB, I can't unlock it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Yep! here is the summary:

1. Only version ICS .30 or below can be root.

2. Once upgrade to .30 or JB can't do nvflash anymore, (can't roll back and do nvflash)

3. If you upgrade to JB, you need root, you can roll back to .30 to root. If you don't want to roll back you need to unlock then you can root while on JB.

4. You can unlock while you on ICS or JB, doesn't matter.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berfles:
Thanks for the help. For now, my goal is to get the thing rooted and updated to JB I guess. I'll work on that tonight once I figure out what this DPI complaint I saw some people having was.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berfles:
Bah, one more question... if i install the update it's asking, does that put me at .30 or JB right away? Does it matter if i root on .22 instead of .30?

EDIT: Never mind, rooted the version I had and performed two updates to get up to the latest JB build. Protected my root and restored it with no issue.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
You should seriously thinking about unlock your tablet. You will feel it worth $500 device!
[Asus Transformer TF700] berfles:
Only real reason I'm not unlocking it yet is because it's so new, I want to make sure everything is 100% before I go and do that. I finally got my screen protector installed last night so I could take it out of the shipping plastic (I'm obsessive) and I don't notice any flaws or anything, so maybe I'll consider it more now.

I'm on JB 4.1.1. Firmware 10.4.4.20. I'm rooted but locked. HDMI output used to work fine for me. Could connect to my flat screen. Now that I'm on JB 4.1.1, HDMI doesn't work. It tries, but then doesn't work. Is HDMI working for anyone on 4.1.1? I thought the 10.4.4.20 was supposed to fix an HDMI issue?
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
It should work, it made a backup copy of "su" on mine.

I've rooted .22 TW firmware after data wipe using the method from Debugfs thread, so no problems there.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Hrvat:
Confirmed (Germany).
[Asus Transformer TF700] criodor:
I'm having the same problem as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Missed your post. Root shouldn't change anything with OTA. These things happen however. If you can afford a fctory reset try one and see what happens. If it doesn't help call ASUS or do the update manually from recovery mode (which means another data wipe; you might want to try the first options now).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Super-S:
i got it also... im in GER too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rhythmuskaputt:
Resetting the device doesn't help either. Strange. Guess I'll have to wait for the next update. :(

Since the WW-version of the update is not downloadable yet I can't try to install it from recovery mode.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Factory reset doesn't mean reboot. Factory reset = data & cache WIPE.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rhythmuskaputt:
That's what I did. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] long-d:
got mine yesterday, and the ota in the afternoon... this **** is powerfull... and goodlooking. :cyclops:
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Oh, I see. I'm sorry it didn't help then. You can try flashing TW firmware from microSD and then re-flash it after some time when WW is out. I'm using the TW version, I've experienced a slight boost in performance which may be due to data wipe itself, but as to the changes - it only has a built-in Chinese keyboard, which of course is not used when you enter your locale at first boot. Apart from that, I don't see any major differences, and TW may get OTA updates faster I believe.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Another user has reported this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28759687&postcount=3009
[Asus Transformer TF700] rhythmuskaputt:
So I have to temporary un-root the device, factory reset it and then apply the update. I will give it a try.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
I'm not quite sure if that's the only way, but you may certainly try it that way. Voodoo OTA RootKeeper is supposed to store the backup 'su' on /system partition so you should be good to go after the data wipe + update etc.
[Asus Transformer TF700] rhythmuskaputt:
Well I performed a full wipe several times from recovery mode and didn't lose the root, for some kind of reason.

Nevertheless the OTA still won't appear. I think I'll just wait a few days. Maybe Asus will provide the WW update on their website for manual install.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Unrooting would mean performing an uninstall in the busybox app, uninstalling busybox itself along with the superuser app and removing the su binary (as root, after remounting /system rw) from either /system/bin/ or /system/xbin/ (RootKeeper will store a copy somewhere in /system). I am not sure which of these would be needed, as it's not clear whether rooting prevents OTA in any way.
[Asus Transformer TF700] criodor:
These are the steps I did in order for me to get the OTA update going after it failed:

1) Used Rootkeeper

2) Didn't find update

3) Removed Root completely

4) Rebooted into recovery

5) Wiped everything

6) Booted up and ran DebugFS

7) Ran update again

8) Found update, but failed again

9) Hit my head a couple of times on the desk for forgetting the important step >.<

10) Performed step 1 to 6 again

11) Ran Rootkeeper and temp disabled root

12) Ran update which completed this time

13) And enabled root.

So with me all I needed was to temporally disable root with RootKeeper.

Off course you can just remove root completely and reboot and try OTA update again. I'm not sure what kind of check the OTA update does :S
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
It's interesting to know that it apparently does check for it in some way. Hopefully we'll get to know more when more users report the problem.

Thanks for sharing experience with your struggles with OTA :-) I'm sure it will help many users doing some tweaking here.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pvdwaal:
Just went from .21 to .22 today:

- rooted

- installed rootkeeper

- rebooted

- made sure all checkboxes where checked in rootkeeper

- chose temp unroot

- installed OTA .22

- after reboot I restored root with rootkeeper

Easy and no factory reset needed.

Now I have backed up my build.prop just in case
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
After having rooted before, I had already installed OTA Rootkeeper and backed up everything. I didn't receive a spontaneous request to upgrade .21 to .22, but when I checked today, the firmware update was available.I temp-unrooted witk RK.

While downloading it (on the go, on the train to work), it hung on 99%. I decided to reboot and try again. Now the pop-up did actually come, said there was an upgrade available, and that the file had been downloaded. I clicked "OK" when asked to ugrade, and it started to verify the file. No error came up, and it started to install. However, I was confronted with an Andy having open-heart surgery ;) -- no-go. Luckily, after hard reboot, my dear TF700 (I love it, with all its faults and quirks :) ) booted up again and restored the previous configuration (thanks, ASUS).

I do not know if the mobile download has screwed up, or that somehow something (whether an installed app or so) screwed this up. I just wanted to let you know that even when it does screw up, you're probably going to be thrown back to the previous state and wouldn't lose anything.

Might save you from the first stages of either cardiac arrhythmias and/or clinical depression. :D
