  5. In order to flash the cm-10.1.0-RC5-tf700t.zip, find it and choose it via Power.
  6. After you confirm this action, don’t forget to also install the Gapps archive by repeating what you were asked to do for the other zip file.
  7. Confirm this, too, then be sure to be in the Recovery Menu for the next task. Which needs to happen like this: choose the tablet’s restarting option.

After these two tasks are finally performed, you can reboot the gadget.

The old ROM can be accessed only if you follow these couple of easy steps: boot the TF700T into Recovery, choose Backup & Restore and opt for your tool from a list shown on the display. That should bring the previous ROM back on your device.
