If I can get a user willing to be a tester I can make my ROM available for the Padfone Infinity aswell(if TWRP gets ported that is)

im feeling that asus release this unlocked bootloader tools just to delay upgrade firmware for our PFI .. in bright side makes any dev to start develop custom rom for this device.. but for me i rather wait asus to update our firmware to 4.2 or even 4.3

Asus will not release 4.2 but instead jump right onto 4.3.

All I do on this forum is basically telling people that Asus Sweden says this and that on their Facebook page.

After some fiddling, I've managed to compile a working version of TWRP.

Going to do some testing before I upload it somewhere to make sure it doesn't brick phones or anything.

Alrighty, here's the recovery.img I'm using:
https://mega.co.nz/#!MwgllC5Q!cSABQBaHEy69XmemUC3gcnB4kTEUMJuJ-G_adXaNeY8

Seems to work okay. Mounts everything and can do backups. The only thing I had available to flash was the stock WW image, and that worked fine.

Just a note that there's not much point installing it at the moment unless you're planning to dev stuff, seeing as there's no custom roms to flash anyway. It does give you an easy way of adding root to any of the stock roms though.

To flash it, you will need to be in fastboot mode. Easiest way to do this is to turn on USB debugging then run 'adb reboot-bootloader'.

From fastboot, you can run the recovery image without flashing it by issuing 'fastboot boot recovery.img'.

By default, the stock version of android will replace TWRP with the stock recovery on every reboot. There is a way around that though (this is the same with just about every new android device).

1. Flash the recovery image with 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
2. Boot to it with 'fastboot boot recovery.img'
3. From TWRP, mount the /system partition
4. Load the file manager from within TWRP and delete or rename the /system/recovery-from-boot.p file.

Once you do that, you'll get TWRP every time you hold the Vol Down + Power button when powering on your phone.

For those interested, here's the cyanogenmod device config I'm using the build the recovery. https://github.com/perkz/andoid_device_asus_A80

If I get more spare time, I'm going to see if I can manage to get CM10 ported over. That might take me a while though, I'm not much of an android dev.

Enjoy.
