True! It does work great!

However, do you experience battery drain by the Android OS process?

Also, the root method you used says that you should un-root if you want to OTA update the tablet.

How do you un-root?

Made huge mistake, I move some important apps wit apps2sd from system to SD and now the TF103c won´t pass the asus logo. I tried the recovery mode but that don´t exist on Lollipop, don´t have droidboot, just saying Fastboot starting if you press volume - volume+ Power and don´t give any other options... I think i brick it :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] konixxx:
To boot into recovery you just have to press only the volume up or down button (dont really remember) while pressing the power button. Once the tablet boots you can choose from the menu to boot into recovery using the volume up and down key to navigate and the power button to enter. After choosing recovery and the tablet boots into recovery and the Android bot appears, press the power button while pressing the volume up key. This will get you the full recovery menu and from there you can choose to clear cache and to factory reset.

Hope this helps
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ki69:
Tks, but that don´t work. This is normal procedure for firmware before Lolipop. With lolipop i can´t get the normal droidboot, if i press Volume - Volume + Power only shows, fastboot starting, nothing more.... :(

Anyone has RAW format LP firmware for TF103C?

Just like the post above, I did it... :crying:

So, now, only (possible) chance is to use AFT, but it only accepts .raw file format...

If you know another method, excellent... Help appreciated...

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

Thats all (translated) from: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=606668&st=2040#entry47036689

-	From official LP firmware unpack file esp.img

-	Extract file: bootx64.efi

-	Put all files (above file and firmware unpacked files), together with fastboot files in folder with adb files

In the folder with the unpacked files must be (among other files and folders) the following:

-	bootx64.efi

-	droidboot.img

-	boot.img

-	esp.img

-	partition.tbl

Then go to »Fastboot starting« on TF103C and connect it to PC.

Open cmd and input one command at the time (wait for response for each):

-	fastboot flash osloader bootx64.efi

-	fastboot boot droidboot.img

-	fastboot oem write_osip_header

-	fastboot flash boot boot.img

-	fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img

-	fastboot oem start_partitioning

-	fastboot flash /tmp/partition.tbl partition.tbl

-	fastboot oem partition /tmp/partition.tbl

-	fastboot erase cache

-	fastboot erase userdata

-	fastboot oem stop_partitioning

-	fastboot oem wipe ESP

-	fastboot flash ESP esp.img

-	fastboot reboot

I followed that guide and now I'm able to boot into bootloader, normal boot (hangs and returns to bootloader), recovery (doesn't boot in recovery, returns to bootloader) or turn off (working :))… Now we need raw LP firmware to use Asus Flash Tool…

Do not connect tablet with PC.

Press power button and hold it until tablet powers off. Might take more that 10 seconds...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Libi_79:

You need to unzip the firmaware and unzip esp.img ( 7zip what i use) and there you can find the bootx64.efi

For first try if you go over the command two of them

-	fastboot flash boot boot.img

-	fastboot flash fastboot droidboot.img

return with error but i`ve carried on and reboot and started over and second time all commands return with OKAY. Than you will have a droidboot (fastboot) and that is the story so far. As bratusm said we need RAW LP firmware to get our tablet working again, but cant find it yet.

I received mine from Repair, and they saying that change the motherboard. And send it with 4.4.2.

I think that the problem is that the lolipop firmware remove the droidboot and is not possible to unbrick it. Maybe in future update they put again droidboot option for reset the device.

This happens not only on asus tf103c but on other devices.

At some point lolipop delete the doidboot from internal memory, and what happens is like to have a PC without bios and because of that nothing can be done.
