Rooting The TF700T And Installing A Custom ROM

[UJ95x]

Got it. Yeah, I've checked for updates pretty often and I haven't had a new one in a while haha
Okay, I most likely will at least want to check out that CROMi-X or a ROM that's close to Android 4.4.
Thanks for being patient with me, guys; I wanted to at least talk to someone who knows about it before only trying to follow just a set of instructions I found online.

No problem. Let us know if you need further assistance

So far so good. I've been busy this past week so haven't gotten to this until today. I was able to unlock my device first try, for which I was grateful. And now I'm on to the custom recovery. I downloaded TWRP 2.6.3.1, but I just noticed version 2.7 was released over the weekend. Should I just stick with the older version for now? I didn't see much as far as feedback from users, though I may not know all the right places to look... How would I (even if I could) upgrade to the newer version if I already have 2.6.3.1 installed but wanted to upgrade? I was looking over the feature list on their site and wasn't sure if it would really benefit me (just getting into this, not exactly fluent in the language of programmers/rooters/etc.). Just wondering if 2.7 would be worth it or if I should stick with 2.6.3.1.

TWRP 2.7. has only been out for a few days - too soon to tell if it's worth upgrading or if there are bugs that need to be ironed out.
You install it in fastboot, the same way you flash 2.6.3.1 - or go here and grab the flashable zip sbdags made:

Okay, I wasn't sure if having a different TWRP version installed already had a different installation process. I used the fastboot method to install 2.6.3.1 and I like that way. Probably will stick to that if I do upgrade.
I also got CROMi-X running smoothly, very much so enjoying the options this opens up. Wasn't too sure about what different launchers did, but I tried some out and I think I'm going to stuck with Apex. Just started today, though, so we'll see

Good choice. Just read that so far there is no confirmation that TWRP 2.7 is backward compatible with pre-KK roms. It is build for the new KitKat roms, so for now I would stick with 2.6.3.1
