Keep in mind that until a kernel source has been released, there will be no overclocked kernels for the tf300. Also, many of the ROMs are not compatible with the newest bootloader.

Just a few things to keep in mind before upgrading.

I'm sticking with an older version of CleanROM for the moment until more work and testing has been done with the newest bootloader. The version I'm running is rock solid. Plus, i can swap to most of the other ROMs if i choose to.

Yeah I wish mine would not have been updated. I wanted to use clean mod.
Not sure if it is 4.2.1 but every time I uninstall an app the play store force closes 2x unless I uninstall through the play store. Started doing that right after root.

Well if you have root, i take it you also installed a recovery... correct? Go into your recovery and do a factory reset. NOT A DATA WIPE!!! BE CAREFUL BECAUSE YOU CAN BRICK YOUR TABLET IF YOU CHOOSE THE WRONG OPTION.

A factory reset should fix your problem. Also clear your cache and Dalvik cache.

Yes running twrp. I will try that. Thanks for that suggestion.

Nope that didn't work. Must be something to do with 4.2.1. Will have deal with it until the devs or rom developers get a fix

I was wandering where to find tarp custom recovery for 4.1? I want to use it to flash to 4.2 from the Asus site then perform the root.

What bootloader are you on, 4.1 or 4.2? If you're on 4.1, there are all kinds of ROMS over at XDA. If you're on 4.2, you can only run CleanROM or Energy.

I suggest running CleanROM. It has a version for both bootloaders .
