You'll need root access in order to flash any custom recovery. After you get rooted follow lj's instructions for flashing the recovery or you could try using flashify from the play store. I'm not sure if it'll work the same way, but it'd be worth a shot. Happy flashing!

Technically you don't need root you just need to be unlocked and have a custom recovery.

Root access is only beneficial once you have booted into the rom.

What directory are you in when you gave the fastboot command

A working directory called ~/Desktop/CMB where I had downloaded the 4 zip files to be flashed.

OK try this for me open a new terminal and try

fastboot

I get the same output by running fastboot in a new terminal window --- just usage info.

I ran lsusb to make sure the cable is properly connected, and the device is detected on the USB bus (the last entry below should be the TF700):

Code:

% lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0458:705a KYE Systems Corp. (Mouse Systems) Asus USB2.0 Webcam
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 03f0:1617 Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 3015
Bus 001 Device 007: ID 0b05:4daf ASUSTek Computer, Inc.

Also, I installed the adb and the fastboot packages from

http://www.webupd8.org/2012/08/install-adb-and-fastboot-android-tools.html

The write-up is a bit dated, so I'm wondering if I need to reinstall those packages from a more recent and suitable repository?

I couldn't find them pre-installed (I'm on Ubuntu 12.04). I also just found this link:

http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/74-ubuntu/245-ubuntu-precise-install-android-sdk

which requires many more steps than what I did. I only did Step 2 of the five steps described there.
