i got a little ahead of myself and used the unlock app from asus before i realized that i needed to be on at least JB 4.3 or i cant root to cm11 from jellybean 4.2.2. i have pulled my hair out trying to side load the update downloaded from the asus website, i am well aware that i lack the skills to trouble shoot this myself and rely entirely on these forums and youtube. i was hoping that someone has experienced this problem and can point me in the right direction for a fix or workaround.
As it is now, i am stuck on a brand new (Unlocked) asus tf701 US build JDQ39.US_10.14.1.44 with JB 4.2.2 and kernel version 3.4.35-g593cccf.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appriciated
Download the latest firmware for you SKU from Asus.
Unzip that file ONCE, resulting in another zip
Copy that xxxx-user.zip to the root of your internal SD. The system should recognize it and throw up a notification that an update is available.
Alternatively:
Rename the xxxx-user.zip to: T4_SDUPDATE.zip and copy it to the root of a fat32 formatted microSD.
Insert microSD and boot to recovery: Power +Vol Down, then press Vol Up on the flashing RCK
Stock recovery will boot and flash the update.
Make sure your tablet is charged for this!! You do not want the flash to get interrupted!!
That's the stock route. But since you are unlocked, you can also:
1. Fastboot flash CWM 6.0.5.1 to your device.
2. Reboot
3. Boot to recovery (now CWM)
4. Flash the US or WW 11.4.1.29 bootloader (packaged with CWM) in recovery:

5. Reboot
You will see a blue progress bar filling up (the bootloader and recovery get installed), then the tablet will reboot again. At this point hold the Vol Down button to enter the bootloader menu and then enter recovery.
You could try to boot to system here, but I don't know if the KK bootloader you just flashed would boot your JB rom.
6. Flash your desired rom in recovery
Obviously the stock route is safer
