Yes, several times.

I get 3 errors
One says it can't find sdcard/asus_bundle.zip
another says it can't find sdcard/ep201_768_sdupdata.zip
and another that says signature authentication failed

all these come up if I hit the power key after the dead droid in yellow letters

any help will be much appreciated!

Well somehow TWRP isn't installed because that's what you see in the stock recovery when there is no OTA update file present.

When you're booting up normally does it say in small letters in the upper left that you are unlocked? Have you rooted and did you provide GooManager root permissions? You have to be rooted and unlocked to use the GooManager install.

I get the same messsage. I thought mine was unlocked, but it clearly isn't. Now, all I'm getting is the damn "An unknown error occurs"-error. I've been trying to unlock it for two straight days. SCREW YOU ASUS!

Alrite, I don't know if I share the same problem as the rest but afaik, my device is rooted; I am able to launch apps, such as Root Explorer, and I do have Superuser installed but for some reason it doesn't ask for permission once I launch the "root-apps"..
Is it possible to launch those apps without rooting? Afaik, it's not?
I remember trying to get into the root options in Widget Locker, way back, when I first got my HTC Desire Bravo and it didn't work..

edit: I tried installing SuperSU, just now, and it just told me 'There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!'
I don't really know what that means..
Is my device rooted or not?? >.<

Oh yea, almost forgot; just like the guys above I'm only getting as far as into the stock recovery..

Default unlocked to be able to boot into TWRP??

I've gone through all the steps, root, install goo manager, install openscript, blah blah blah, restart...volume down, then up and it should boot into recovery . I still can't even though I've done everything the forums say ...but do I HAVE to be unlocked to boot into recovery or just rooted and installed TWRP? Because I'm not unlocked and have done everything else and it only boots into the android basic recovery when I try volume down then up. NOWHERE does it state you have to be unlocked...is that true!??!

also, is there a jelly bean tf700 ROM out there if i were to unlock or should I just wait for the OTA update?

You cannot install a custom recovery without an unlocked bootloader. Until you unlock your device you will be stuck with the official rom. Dees_Troy actually does say right at the top of the TWRP thread that you must be unlocked to install the custom recovery.

You must be unlocked to install a custom recovery and you must have root if you want to install using GooManager.

Is anyone at all able to unlock their devices now? This is the third day I'm trying, but I still get the same "unknown error occurs".

I've just unlocked mine 5 minutes ago without any issue. My tabled come from the batch C6OKASxxxxx and didn't had the OTA update issue either.
