[Asus Transformer TF700] karyuudo:
Here is a complete noob guide for those trying to install Kitkat on their Asus TF700T tablets.

Step 1 - Unlocking your Asus TF700T

1. Attach your USB cable to the Asus TF700T and plug it into your PC

2 - Download and install Android SDK from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/SDK

3 - Go to http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=ASUS+Transformer+Pad+Infinity+TF700T&p=28&s=1

4 - Choose Android from the Select OS dropdown

5 - Download Unlock Device App (V8)

6 - copy the Unlock_v8.apk into the platform-tools folder where Android SDK was installed to ..\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk\platform-tools

7 - Open a command prompt (Windows OS only - this will be different on Mac / Linux) by holding Shift on the keyboard and right clicking in the \adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk\platform-tools folder.

8 - Choose Open Command Window Here

9 - Install the Unlock_v8.apk by typing the following: adb install Unlock_v8.apk and hit Enter on your keyboard. Don't close this command prompt window yet.

10 - Run the application from the tablet and agree to the terms.

11. Reboot the device - don't disconnect the USB cable yet.

Step 2 - Installing ClockworkMod Recovery

1 - Download Clockworkmod 6.0.4.7 from here: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-tf700t.img

2 - Download MD5 checker from here: http://www.winmd5.com/

3 - Install and Run the application

4 - Click on the Browse button and navigate to where you downloaded your recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-tf700t.img

5 - Copy and paste the following into the field beside the Verify button: 3fbb8b023bddbd70596452136fdda7a0

6 - Click verify - If it does not match, there is a problem with the recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-tf700t.img

7 - If the verify confirms the file is okay proceed to the next step.

8 - Copy recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-tf700t.img into your \adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20140321\sdk\platform-tools

9 - With your Asus TF700T still connected via USB to your PC, type in the following in the Command Prompt: adb reboot bootloader and hit Enter on the keyboard.

10 - Your Asus TF700T should reboot into Fastboot mode. You can see this by 3 icons on the tablet screen.

11 - Now verify that your PC sees the device by typing the following: fastboot devices and hit Enter on your keyboard.

12 - From here you should see something similar to: 015d2bbce6300606 fastboot which shows your Asus TF700T Serial #

13 - If you don't see this or see "<waiting for device>", fastboot is not configured properly on your machine. If you run into this, go here and follow the step by step instructions on how to fix it: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_fastboot_intro

14 - Now rename recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-tf700t.img to recovery.img

15 - In the command prompt window type the following: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery recovery.img and hit Enter on your keyboard.

16 - You should see something like this:

fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (6930 KB)...

OKAY [ 2.672s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 7.930s]

finished. total time: 10.603s

17 - Now download the Kitkat Custom Rom from: http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=5242

18 - Copy the ROM zip file cm-11.0-20140403-CROMBikk4.4.2-tf700t_Signed.zip to the root folder on your ASUS TF700T.

Step 3 - Installing KitKat 4.4 Custom Rom

1 - Reboot your Asus TF700T into recovery by restarting the table and when it powers on again, Hold the Power and Volume Down and it should bring you back to recovery mode. Choose RCK by hitting the Power button to select it.

2 - Use Volume Down and to choose Wipe Data / Factory Reset and press Power to select it. Say Yes to any questions. Let that run and complete

3 - Next use Volume Down and to choose Install Zip from SD Card and press Power to select it. Say Yes to any questions.

4 - Once that's done choose Reboot System Now

5 - Simply follow the instructions after it boots and you're done!

Good luck!

I have another question / issue.

I noticed that the tablet was running excessively slow (it was doing this prior to upgrading to Kitkat) and so I decided to do a Factory Reset from within the tablet. Now it's rebooted and it's sitting at the Android and the spinning thing in it's chest for more than 5 mins. Does it normally take this long?
