I've just rooted my 2nd transformer using the transformer root kit for 3.1, and then flashed Prime 1.4 through CWM but i have lost all touch input on my device. What have I done wrong? Is there anyway to fix it?
Thanks in advance

Turn off device, enter in APX mode and use NVflash to install stock ROM 3.1 + root + CWM. Try if this can help, if not, take up an RMA
I just picked up a tf300t and I wanted to make sure of something before I dive into rooting, roms, etc. Is it possible to return it completely to a stock, non rooted, no custom recovery? Depending when the asus infinity comes out, I may want to return the tf300t for it. Please answer asap, so I can get started on everything
You can root and un root so thats not a problem, But if you unlock the boot loader your out of luck. There is no way to relock it. So even if you flashed a stock recovery and rom the warranty is void.
ok well at least i can root it. Then when my 30 days are up, ill start tossing roms on there

Well actually you have 1 year warranty with the manufacturer (ASUS).

i'm pretty sure you can still return the tablet with a unlocked bootloader to the store. what you can't do while unlocked is use asus warranty.

I am trying to go back to stock also, coming from Cyanogen mod. I tried this method desrcibed here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668173 But all I get is Asus boot screen. I also tried using CWM but does not work either.

Everytime I flash to the stock rom, CWM goes away and it returns to to the android on his back logo. Therefore I have to put CWM back on it again.

If your flashing the firmware from asus's website, it will overwrite your recovery.
you could try using blobtools to repack the asus firmware file without the recovery and bootloader partitions, then flash it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068548
(I've compiled blob tools using mingw and attached it for your convienience)
I don't know if it will work because I haven't unlocked my tf300t yet (I have to RMA it because of a screen defect), but worth a shot.
already rooted. is there a step by step to downgrade to ics. really miss my flash player. can't get it to work on jb.
There is not a way to downgrade at the moment if you are running the OTA JB.
Btw flash can still work with JB using the stock browser. Here's a copy of the recent flash player if you need it

I would think to truly do this, you would need to flash the bootloader, system, and recovery all at the same time so everything is in sync with ICS, just not worth it.

Well, can't we just download the latest ICS factory image from Asus? Or would the bootloader prevent us from even using the factory ICS image?

When I was locked, I tried to take the zip and put it in internal storage. It installed the downgrade as it called it, but when done, I was still on jb. I would think if you're on jb and force flashed the ICS blob it would possibly brick the device because jb has different permissions and from what I've read a different partition table all together.

I don't believe it has a different partition table but even if it did, asus blobs include the partition table in every update so that wouldn't be an issue, the issue however is that you cannot download the bootloader, the bootloader is now signed seperately to the rest of the update to prevent abuse like what we did with the tf201 to obtain nvflash access. When you unlock the bootloader signature remains enabled while the blob flashing signature check is disabled. This has a side effect of preventing downgrades as the bootloaders pre-JB do not have this same signing mechanism in place.

I actually attempted to downgrade last night. Quite frankly, I think that I came close o a few soft bricks. I tried flashing a custom ICS rom...no go. I tried loading the firmware from the Asus website to the root of the SD card and restart...no go. I tried force flashing the firmware using recovery mode, and it completed "successfully." When I rebooted...no go...and no ROM. This is when I started getting worried, because when I tried to boot into recovery, I received a red error message saying that there was a mismatch. I hard rebooted again, and booted into recovery, and reflashed my JB Rom. I did everything BUT use fastboot to load an ICS recovery image. I didn't want to take that risk.
My suggestion....leave it alone. I am leaving it to the experts. And if you are not an expert, then LEAVE IT TO THEM TOO!

Good suggestion haha - now I have been reading about nvflash being usable for the tf300, but only if you were on the ICS bootloader, wondering if you can do an nvflash type backup - don't know much about it - but after backup, upgrade to jb, then use backup to return to ICS...

I tried every method out there to get back to ICS. So there is no way. Tried fastboot, tried adb, tried wolfs downgrade method, tried restoring a backup with CWM and TWRP and many more. So unfortunately there is no way, but Scotts and Seanz Roms were the best Roms on ICS, so I think I dont have to, cause I have the best Roms to choose.
Only thing missing is NVflash and OC (its been working on )
Have you tried erasing everything

I recently just restored my bricked Tf300 by using these commands from fastboot thanks to user Buster99
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase cache
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system c:\adt-bundle\platform-tools\blob (this is my path - your's may vary depending where you stored your blob)
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
this completely erased my system, fixed my bootloo and brought it back to stock. Can there be a way to erase the bootloader this way???

Asus TF300T
CURRENTLY:
Stock ROM JB OTA
Have several recovery images I have been using with Fastboot via unlocked bootloader.
I have tried both TWRP 2.2 and CWM recoveries to flash various roms. I've tried Hydo, CM9 & CM10
NONE get past the first asus logo. I never get past the device is unlocked message with asus logo and the nvidia tegra logo lower right.
The only way to get past the bricked stage is to fastboot the stock blob file from the asus zip.
HELP!
holy crap me to PLEASE HELP US!!!!!!

Hay i have the same problem i am unlocked,stock JB,rooted but i cant get any custom roms to load past asus device unlocked screen my thoughts are that the bootloader is not truly unlocked. My device is tf300t with latest OTA U.S. JB.
I've read about something to do with partitions. I just haven't found enough info. The boot loader is unlocked though. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to enter fastboot.

It's because the bootloader partition from JB update is incompatible with all non Asus JB and ICS images. Unfortunately there is no way to downgrade because of no working nvflash, so you're stuck with Asus JB or Hydro JB for the time being.

Pitrus is correct. If you have done the OTA there are presently only 3 custom ROMs available to you: JB CleanROM 2.0, JB Blue ROM and JB Hydro 3.4. All others bar stock are incompatible with JB bootloader.

Thanks guys. I'm going to try one of those out. Any suggestions?

Absolutely was my problem. So any advice about running other Roms? Can we flash boot loader to enable non Asus roms?

Clean Rom 2.0 very nice!
Hey guys,
So I recently did the procedure to enable NVflash on my TF700, and flashed the AndroidRoot bootloader in the process (over my stock .26). Unfortunately, I forgot to make a backup of the bootloader before doing that.
My question is, is there any way I can get back to a stock .26 bootloader now? A bootloader image file I can download somewhere? I want to do so to get back to stock .26 firmware and then upgrade to stock Jellybean.
Thanks
I'm really curious as to *why* you'd want to do this... If you just want to get to Jelly Bean with the stock bootloader, you can download the full JB firmware from Asus now (it's a FULL install, not just an upgrade like the OTA was) - it will replace the bootloader as well.
I just can't think of any valid reason to revert to the .26 bootloader just to get to get back to the stock bootloader in order to upgrade to JellyBean/stock bootloader.

So can I just run the Jellybean installer to return my tablet to stock (keeping bootloader unlocked of course)?
By the way I have TWRP recovery. So I need to change to stock recovery first to run that file, right?

Actually, just installing the stock JB image from Asus will replace your bootloader and your recovery, so no need to change to stock recovery first...

But I can't find a way to run the ASUS update, since I have TWRP recovery (seems like it requires a stock recovery)... If I start the update from within Android, it just takes me to TWRP. How do I run the file?
Never mind, I just tried installing the ASUS update file from within TWRP, to my great surprise it worked! I thought it was going to brick my tablet, honestly (I have an NVflash backup so no worries). Well, I'm happy, thanks for your help, jtrosky.
