[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
OK, here goes with what very little I know. You are correct, as far as I know, in the things you put on there...

NOTE: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE... Call in when you have something to add, correct or detract -- I've had several long, busy, stressful night shifts and I'm bound to have screwed up here and there. Please correct me if so.

ASUS Firmware updates:

* .22 was the release firmware

* .26 changed the scheduler from noop to cfq, smoothing out disk-write performance a bit, alleviating I/O issues to at least some extent; some minor app updates as well, it seems.

* .30 updated camera firmware (removing the clicking sound, amongst other minor fixes). The big thing was it updated the bootloader as well (without notice), which later turned out to prevent installation of Nvflash. This effectively shuts out those who flashed the .30 OTA or .30 manual ASUS firmware files from the added security of Nvflash... for now.

* .16 is the initial JB update

Confusion may stem from our colloquial designation for JB (.16) being out of order with the ICS builds that came before it (.22/.26/.30) -- our tendency to abbreviate anything needing more than three keystrokes has turned to shoot some people in the foot. ;) If, however, you look at the full build number, the difference is quite evident:

.22 = ASUS firmware version 9.4.5.22 = ICS

.26 = ASUS firmware version 9.4.5.26 = ICS

.30 = ASUS firmware version

9.4.5

.30 = ICS

.16 = ASUS firmware version

10.4.4

.16 = JB

Bootloaders:

I believe any CM10/AOKP-based ROM will happily boot off of both the ICS and JB bootloaders. Currently, however, there seems to be no specific need or benefit to using the JB bootloader, so I'd stay away from it whenever possible. :)

Recoveries:

* The official ClockworkMod 6.0.1.4 Touch recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1926286 and

* The official ClockworkMod 6.0.1.4 Non-touch recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1886901

both support ICS and JB bootloaders and carry device-specific fixes for the TF700

* TWRP 2.2.2.3 touch recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1797692

supports ICS and JB bootloaders and carry device-specific fixes for the TF700

ROMs, with the criteria as set forth by their devs, updated with users' experience:

* CleanROM Ultra Lite Edition 1.2: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1919851

UPDATED: Jellybean bootloader and TWRP 2.2.2.x+ are a preferred combination (by way of its developer), but the (.30) ICS bootloader works as well (thanks, Nebucatnetzer!)

* Stock Root Odex / De-Odex - 10.4.4.16 Base: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1919271

REQUIRES JB bootloader and recent version of either ClockworkMod or TWRP (for it, obviously, needs JB support)

* Zeus_TF700T_series_v4.0: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1803386

has only been tested by Zeus on TWRP, but can install with ClockworkMod 6.0.1.4.

* Team EOS 3 *JELLYBEAN* Nightlies: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1887948

Currently DOES NOT BOOT AT ALL.

* Baked Black Bean 5 - Infinity Edition: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1884703

Installs with both ICS and JB bootloaders, and should install with either ClockworkMod or TWRP (have only tested it using TWRP)

* TF700T PARANOIDANDROID 2.17: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1904894

Installs with both ICS and JB bootloaders, and should install with either ClockworkMod or TWRP

Individual kernels:

* Mystical Kernel v0.1 for Official TF700 JB: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1922747

As the name implies, this is ONLY for JB.

Works with: CleanRom1.x and probably other stock-based ROMs

Does NOT work with: Black Bean v5 -- and therefore probably other CM10/AOKP-based ROMs

NOTE: you will lose ADB as root. This is a very young kernel. (NOTE: 'Immature' has a derogatory feel to it, which I tried to avoid.)

* Nice link aggregate how-to of STOCK ICS (.26 and .30) and STOCK JB (0.16) kernels and UNOFFICIAL CM10 kernels, and boot restore how-to added in for good measure, courtesy of Pretoriano80: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1919961 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1833212 as well.

Loose ends:

I think a lot of the confusion stems from the fact that, in and of themselves, kernels and recoveries are interdependent, but not equivalent -- several times something was posted along the lines of "JB recovery kernel". It's probably best to stay on the ICS bootloader if you can help it, and only update it when you really need to (which doesn't actually seem to have been the case, yet). If it ain't broken, don't fix it.
