Hey guys I was having some problems with my xoom's wifi on Tiamat's 1.4.4 so i decided to relock the device and use stock.
It's a US model and had build HMJ37 but i decided to follow this thread
http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/mot...4600-thinking-about-unrooting-read-first.html
I downloaded img build HRI66 and followed all the steps and it was ok. Then, i rebooted and now my device is at the motorola logo's dual core screen. Everytime i manually reboot with power and volume up it automatically reboots the device instead of shutting it down, it literally won't shut down and keeps hanging at the moto logo. It just keeps rebooting and getting stuck at the motorola logo. I then unlocked again, and performed the same process with the HRI39 img and still got the same problem
So im stuck. Please help me out guys, i'm in serious ****.
So you have gone as far as the "fastboot erase cache" and "fastboot oem lock" right? This is kind of funny because I tried to install Tiamat 1.1 ROM tonight and ended up going through this HUGE loop of problems.
Here's the problem I had: some time ago I installed ROMManager from the market. I thought it would be easier. It SHOULD be easier. I let it update my recovery to its own version 4.something. It allowed me to SORT OF install the ROM, but I wound up with some persistent system files that weren't getting wiped and a bcm4329.ko version mismatch.
This stumped me for a long time because all I could see was an "Error" message where I was supposed to be able to toggle the wifi on and off. I tried rolling back to my previous ROM. No go. And the culprit the whole time was ROMManager's CWM.
I tried rolling back my recovery.img file to the Tiamat version recommended in this forum. I kept getting all of these crazy "could not mount" errors for pretty much EVERYTHING. I thought my recovery partition was effed. So I rolled back to stock. Followed pretty much the same instructions you linked to.
From there I was able to boot into the stock OS. WiFi worked. I breathed deeply for a minute or two then dove right back in.
If I was in your position I would (and I did, though not from a boot loop) boot into fastboot and unlock the bootloader again. You can do it by holding the Vol down key as the device boots. When fastboot loads type "fastboot oem unlock". Press the Vol down key then the Vol up key. Do that again. Your device is unlocked now! Hooray!
Now you need to install a recovery.img. (I just did this too.) Get the .img file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979
Boot into fastboot again. Put the recovery img file you downloaded into the same directory as your adb and fastboot executables (if you haven't already linked to them in your PATH). Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-lotsofstuffhere.img". Type "fastboot reboot". 2 seconds after the Motorola logo pops up press the Vol Down key. Then press the Vol Up key to enter recovery.
Ok, here's where I found out what a dumbass I was. I got all of the stupid "can't mount anything" errors again. I thought, HOLY ****. I just did all of that work, spent hours troubleshooting and reformatting and bringing it back to stock and flashing the custom recovery all over again just to run into the SAME error. I really thought I was screwed. Then I found some forum where a guy was complaining about the same error. He realized he was getting it because his sd card was half-way out. I thought - "SD CARD?!?" Some guys told me I needed one earlier too, but the ROMManager CWM didn't require it. It just screwed up my system files. So I popped one in and rebooted. Voila. Everything's kosher. If YOU have the same problem, make sure you've got an SD card in.
Ok, so now you're in recovery. You'll need to flash an OS of course. If you haven't already got it, get Tiamat 1.1 rom. Put it on the sd card. Wipe data/factory reset. Install zip from sd card. You're golden. At least I was. 5 hours later.
-Mike
Hey Mike I'm gonna give this a go. Just when i downloaded the img file to flash through fastboot i got an error saying battery was too lower to perform the recovery....damn it! The xoom isn't able to charge at the moment so i have to wait until it dies i guess (or i hope at least) and then charge it up and try again later.
Thanks again dude, hope i sort this out too. I'll download tiamat 1.1 in the meantime.
DUDE YOU'RE MY ****ING HERO!!!! I got it running can't say if everything is 100% just yet but the fac tthat im back in is enough to thank you so very much Mike!!! What a guy!
It worked? Great that's excellent news. Just out of curiosity - did you get there because you had ROMManager's ClockWorkMod? Or maybe you didn't do a full wipe before flashing a new rom? Or maybe you restored some WiFi settings with Titanium Backup after a new flash? How did you wind up with tthe problem in the first place - you know, for posterity.
well to be honest i am not 100% sure. I think the source of the problem msut have come from my previous installation of tiamat's 1.4.4 rom, it was always actin up on me and i don't believe i wiped the mod before i updated it and that may have done it. I wish i could give you more than just a pseudo answer.

Normally, I'd agree but in this rare case, he actually needed it to fully drain because he couldn't get it to power off using any normal method. Weird! so, it seems his only shot was to let it die to finally kill the screen and then start over. Very odd...

You are right...I had forgotten that from the OP. Very strange indeed.
Yeah I dunno why, my xoom was just acting up. It's fantastic now, albeit the wifi still has a couple kinks but android market issues have been resolved, i get much better streams and with tiamat 1.1 everything is already built in and with a quickboot option =)
Xda...where would i be without you!

You should be able to reboot the device using vol up + power, then holding vol down and vol up until it says "Cold booting Linux.....".
This should do the same as letting the battery drain, plugging it in and turning it on.
DeeJay - dunno if you've done this already, but if you haven't you should go back to the Tiamat 1.1 thread and find the Modpack. It fixes the Market update issue and gives you built-in screenshot capabilities and an option to reboot into recovery from the power off menu. It's in there - you just have to scroll down a bit before you find it.
Also - what issues are you having with WiFi?
Thanks for that important tidbit, solarnz. I'm going to file it away for future use.
OMG!!!! Dude you just saved my life! I thought my baby was out the window. I had the exact same problem as you did. I was trying everything from every thread that had anything to do with this problem. I just finished installing and it booted. WHEWWW!!!
Thank u thank u thank u!!
Glad it helped. I'm seeing all kinds of posts in here about the ROMManager CWM. Not good.

Guys, wondering if someone could give me some direction to restoring my TF101 to working conditions.
I have a rooted TF101 that was running 9.1.2.27.
This setup has been running great since .27 (not done OTA, Found here) came out, so I haven't bothered upgrading recently.
Fast forward to this week and it seems the Tablet started locking up at some point in the last couple days I hadn't used it. This would cause a battery drain until the device turned off. Upon rebooting I could get into the OS for maybe a minute before it would freeze again.
I decided to wipe the device, I went into CWM Recovery and wiped all caches and then tried to wipe all data/factory reset. It is at this time I get the following error:
Error removing /data/data/com.android.browser/databases/webview.db-wal!Error formatting /data!
Try starting back up and get a boot loop.
Upon reflashing the ROM, I find the TF101 in constant boot loop not making it 8 seconds into the bootup before rebooting.
I can still get into recovery so I try various kernels and roms with no success. Through searching I find CWM 6.0.1.4 and load it. Everything loads normally and I can now wipe data/factory reset, wipe all Cache even format all parts. I try to flash every ROM I can get my hands on from stock to older roms that I have ran succesfully to EOS Nighties, Every rom goes into Boot Loop after about 10 seconds.
Any Idea on where to go from here? I have been reading threads for hours now with no solution.
MODS: Putting in DEV since this is a Rooted TF, but if this should go to Q&A please move
This question should be in the QA section...
But your stock ROM was ICS and the newest EOS nightlies are based on JB which have different partitions. If you flash back and forth with ICS and JB you could be running into problems there.
Have you tried the option in CWM called "Fix Permissions"? This is supposed to reset the permissions correctly for the system apps area I believe which helped a lot of people with force close issues. It's worth a shot.
Are you installing ROM's from external SD card or the Internal SD card? That shouldn't matter but I have always stuck with the External SD card.
One thing you could also try is to wipe the big 3 several times a piece before installing the ROM. I found it had made some ROM's load better when I encountered a few issues. Also, stick with one ROM either ICS or JB. Going back and forth will cause problems.
Also, I remember that from ICS to JB, some ROM's required the ROM to be installed twice literally after it installs install it again or some ROM's may reboot themselves back into recovery to complete the install.
Try that with the ROM you pick to get things back on track.
There is also some "Super Wipe" scripts floating around but I believe they were for a specific ROM and I think it was ICS based. You should be able to search XDA for that here in the Dev section.

The ICS to JB isn't the issue as the issue started happening randomly with a ICS Rom that has been working for 4+ months when it has never had anything put ICS (well HC when I got it last year). Trying the JB rom was a near last ditch effort
I tried Revolutions superwipe several times, didn't help.
I probably completely screwed it up now in frustration. Tried to load the stock rom and now Recovery is screwed and it is boot loop so I don't think I can connect it to the computer now.
Hosed you think?
So now the question is, with a Tab that won't stay on longer then 8 seconds and no longer has a recovery, is there any other hope? I'm guessing bricked.

Yea, I can do the power + vol down and then up and get the recovery android guy, then he goes on his back and a red exclamation comes up (which I believe means no recovery mode installed
I can also do the pwr + vol down and then wait 5 seconds and get the wipe device or android options, but it won't let me choose anything, 10 seconds later it reboots.

Will try tonight, but I believe all of those involve the computer having time to recognize the device, which it doesn't stay on long enough for the computer to recognize is and it won't seem to connect USB when the android guy is up.
nice rom! going to check this out tonight, thanks!
So I got into APX mode, windows shows no drivers, but it does show in devices. Trying NVFLash it says it is doing something, but nothing on the TF changes. Is there another step I am missing?

Thanks for the info, truly! I had searched for Drivers, but not naked.
That worked and it allowed me to use Easyflasher to get CWM back on.
Now I am back where I started, I have tried loading several Roms. Everyone hangs up about 15 seconds into first boot while the setup splash screen is on (for example the dotted circle on stock Asus rom or the simon says color circle like the JB rom or what ever it was in the ICS rom I was using. Something in the tab is stopping it from booting on up.
But I can now format everything and wipe data. I can connect APX mode. Anything else I can try from there. Starting to seem like something Hardware is busted.

Did you fix permissions while you were in recovery? It's a long shot but that may help. You may have a folder that's chmod'ed incorrectly. If so that'll prevent the system from being able to write or read to that folder making it impossible to install to, or run from it. Fix permissions, re-flash and reboot.
I know TomTcom mentioned it already. I don't see if you tried it in your replies though.

yes, I am able to flash to stock rom I got from Asus and the one I took for Rooted with stock on the forum. The flash, and it gives you the initial progress bar on first boot, then reboots at the end of the progress bar and goes to the Asus with the moving circles for about 5 seconds then keeps rebooting from there.
In a PC world I would wonder Ram issues, Over heating, or insuffecent power supply at this point. Not sure what to think here.
Is there a way to use TWOP and delete everything you see on the system and then reflash?

Have you tried using nvflash that blasts everything, takes you back to as clean as clean can be.
I am starting to think hardware though but if you can sit in recovery of adb / apx mode without issue then maybe it is a software thing.
No probs wiith the drivers by the way, its not really the right website for searching for the word naked.... dam don't can't won't imagine what you could of found with the members in here...
SUCCESS!!
I am not totally sure what finally worked as I just kept trying to reset/wipe/format/ and reflash, but this last time finally worked it seems. I have the stock Asus rom back on and going through setup.
I do find that if I try to put EOS on it just sits at the color things that show loading and never moves forward, so I just put the stock rom back on for now. Try to get Root back on for Titanium backup and enjoy the tablet again and worry about JB later maybe.

I'm glad you finally got it fixed. I had some issues a while back (two weeks after I bought it) and I panicked and caused more trouble. Finally after stepping away from it for a day or two and a wife encouraging me I was able to get it going again...but my gut was in knots for that day or two.
Tablet after redoing the original root does not go over the system.
Not have access to ADB DEVICE or by Windows or the Linux Ubuntu, no longer accepts update totally blocked.
Ask help for those who have been through this problem.
First I'd like to thank the mods and everyone who contributes to this forum. It's an invaluable resource. Now to my problem.
Asus Tf700 is unlocked and rooted on latest TWRP recovery, which does work. However, after making a backup with the new TWRP version, the tablet is stuck on the boot screen (spinning wheel). Last week I flashed a JB ROM, didn't like it, so went back to ICS with the .30 firmware. Flashed it using old version of TWRP from micro-SD card. Device has been working fine since then. I tried reflashing the .30 kernel again using the same method. It installs kernel, but no luck, still stuck on boot screen. Then I tried TWRP restore, using the new restore file. It restores, but goes to the boot screen and just spins. Any ideas? nvFlash is unavailable to me. What else can I do? Should I try a factory restore in TWRP? I'll keep messing with it later today, but any suggestions are appreciated.
When you install a stock rom, doesnt it install back the stock recovery? I would try reflashing twrp and installing cleanrom, keep it as stock as possible and see if it boots.

Rom: CleanRom 3.4.4
A spinning Asus wheel is always recoverable.
You have some incompatible rom / kernel / bootloader / data combination I suspect. It's easily done.
I'd make sure you are on a more recent version of TWRP - something like 2.3.1.0 or 2.3.3.0 that supports ICS and JB. It's very dangerous leaving such an old version of TWRP if you go to JB.....
Personally I'd update TWRP to 2.3.1.0 and then install the latest JB file from the Asus website to start with.

1. What bootloader are you on currently? (See 4)
2. By flashing the ".30 kernel" I assume you mean flashing the .30 stock ROM, am I right?
Your device went into a hung boot after making the backup, so I'm not really surprised it does exactly the same when you restore that backup. Have you tried flashing .30 stock ROM again?
3. Which recovery do you currently have? As Tylorw1 said, if you flash a full stock ROM, you'll reflash everything, up to and including the bootloader and recovery.
4. If you still have fastboot available (pick the USB symbol instead of RCK after POWER+VOL_DOWNing), you might want to try to reflash either TWRP or CWM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926286 for the latter; I have VERY limited experience with the former and you may well have more than me ).
Updating your bootloader just to be sure is recommended, as most current ROMs will not boot properly without it.
Has the fiddling brought any new points of view, or new discoveries?
Update
Just got in from work. Of course can't do anything else but try to get this unworking device to boot. Not in panic mode yet, as I assume if I get to the spinning wheel, there is hope for recovery.
Just flashed back to the stock ROM, which indeed restored stock recovery. Still would not boot past Asus wheel. Now I will attempt to install the latest TWRP version using fastboot, then try to flash new ROM. Panic is slowly creeping in, but I think I just need to keep at it. How should I proceed once latest version of TWRP is installed? Backup? Flash? Android is new territory for me, a bit rockier than Windows. If this were a laptop on Windows 7 I'd be up and running already . Thanx for the replies and any help.
OK. I used stock recovery to to a system restore. That worked, but of course all user data and apps are gone. Assume root access is also history, so it's just a matter of getting root access and restoring apps. I made a backup to SD card using Titanium Backup. Can I restore from here using the backup file, or should I just stop complaining and be happy I got the damn thing to boot?!!! No big deal really: I'm back to STOCK .26, virgin device (except for being unlocked). Guess I'll get root and move on. Thanks. Great work here. I've learned a lot browsing these forums. Maybe one day I'll graduate from N00B status!

same issue
Hi,
I have a same issue. I still was using the original ROM of ASUS. Now JB.
The device was once rooted in ICS, but that was lost when going to JB. And I did not yet try to reroot it. I was running JB already several months.
The device is unlocked, but I did not install a custom boatloader yet.
This week I was working in the car. Using the 3G connection of my phone and shared it via bluetooth to my pad to access my mails.
Suddenly the pad rebooted, and it never got further than the ASUS screen with the spinning wheel.
I can boot in recovery mode (power and V-), but then I cannot use my V+ buttom. I can only select the RCK, but unfortunately, It's not succesful. I first get the android with open lid and the spinning ball, but after a few seconds it changes to the android with the open lid laying on his bag with the red triangle on it. And it stays like this forever.
I cannot seem to enter fastboot mode (power and V+)
any suggenstion? All data can be erased. No problem as long as the tablet is working again.

The device was once rooted in ICS, but that was lost when going to JB. And I did not yet try to reroot it. I was running JB already several months.
The device is unlocked, but I did not install a custom boatloader yet.
This week I was working in the car. Using the 3G connection of my phone and shared it via bluetooth to my pad to access my mails.
Suddenly the pad rebooted, and it never got further than the ASUS screen with the spinning wheel.
I can boot in recovery mode (power and V-), but then I cannot use my V+ buttom. I can only select the RCK, but unfortunately, It's not succesful. I first get the android with open lid and the spinning ball, but after a few seconds it changes to the android with the open lid laying on his bag with the red triangle on it. And it stays like this forever.
I cannot seem to enter fastboot mode (power and V+)
any suggenstion? All data can be erased. No problem as long as the tablet is working again.

When you hold down vol- and power button to boot into stock recovery, then when you see white text on the screen, let go both buttons, then hitting the Vol down button to move the highlighted to USB icon, can you try that?
Edit: if that's working move the highlighted to the "WIPE" icon, then hit Volume up twice, this will perform factory reset and wipe all your data and reset your device back to factory setup. You will see the Android spinning for awhile then your tablet will reboot and you will have to do the setup again, just like when you just brought the device.

Thanks for your help. I can boot into stock recovery. But I could move to the USB icon or the the Wipe Icon previously. Now I was able to select the Wipe Data Icon and currently I'm at the virgin "Welcome" screen again.
I don't understand why now it's working and previously not. Did I switch the v- and v+ button? If that's the case, I'm even a bigger idiot then I thought :silly:
Anyhow, All well that ends well.
Stuck on spinning wheel as well
sbdags said:
A spinning Asus wheel is always recoverable.
You have some incompatible rom / kernel / bootloader / data combination I suspect. It's easily done.
I'd make sure you are on a more recent version of TWRP - something like 2.3.1.0 or 2.3.3.0 that supports ICS and JB. It's very dangerous leaving such an old version of TWRP if you go to JB.....
Personally I'd update TWRP to 2.3.1.0 and then install the latest JB file from the Asus website to start with.

Hi sdbags! Thanks for all the work that you have put in to make this rom!
I am stuck on the spinning wheel as well. I installed cromi x last week. The tab was working okay. Very laggy, was very disappointed. I guess I did something wrong? Last night I used lagfix and rebooted. Since then the tablet has been stuck on the spinning wheel stage. I am pretty sure I installed the latest version of TWRP and checked I had the latest bootloader. Can I check these things now? Also if they are outdated how I do I update them if my tablet wont boot up?
Thanks!

Lagfix takes a good 20 mins to complete, even though it says it has finished after 5. I wonder if you rebooted too early. If you have sync off it can cause corruption on the data partition which might be your issue.
The fix is to format data from the twrp wipe menu and reflash. You will lose Everything on internal so back up in twrp first please.
Sigh - all for naught
stuck on spinning cyan screen
i rooted the tf700t and installed twrp, flash cm 10.2 rc 1, then rebooted and now it is stuck on boot screen. now i find i cant get back to stock recovery or twrp to correct the issue or bootloader. anyway that my tablet isnt totalled?

Why can't you go back? Vol down and power doesn't work?
CM requires you to be on the 10.6.1.14.4+ bootloader first. Also a wipe before installing is mandatory.

i have tried several times to use the vol- and power buttons but it doesnt seem to work. i press them and then i feel like its trying but doesnt go anywhere just stays on the black screen. adb recognizes the tablet but says it is offline because the boot screen is stuck. it usually only took a few seconds for it to go to the fastboot screen but nothing now. any ideas, if i get to the fastboot i can correct the problem.

Hmm that sounds like apx mode to me. If you didn't save nvflash backups I suspect it has bricked
I just updated to KitKat via this threat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52214068
I noticed that the tablet was running excessively slow and so I decided to do a Factory Reset from within the tablets Setting. Now it's rebooted and it's sitting at the Android and the spinning thing in it's chest for more than 5 mins. Does it normally take this long?

Hey guys
Long time reader 1st time asking for help. Had tf700t unlocked, rooted and running cm 10.2.1 with twrp 2.6.3.1. Tried several times to load cm 11 and met only with failure. Read a post to try twrp 2.7.0.0. Loaded twrp 2.7.0.0, via goo, backed up everything and tried to flash cm 11. Tablet stuck in wipe mode for 90 minutes. (didn't even get a chance to load it!) I stopped it and re-started into twrp 2.7.0.0. Tried to recover and got pictured error, basically stating that at the wiping data point - E:Unable to mount '/data'. Tried to flash new rom and get the same thing. I can get into recovery but that is about it..............spock help me

TWRP 2.7 does take a long time to wipe. You shouldn't have interrupted it. Now you probably have a corrupted data partition and you will have to format it. That will erase all your data, but if the nandroid you made was successful, that should not be a problem.

1st of all thank you, unfortunately the nandroid bu was on a laptop that was stolen. Anything else I can do?
Hi,
Someone gave me a Tf700t. On bootup it says unlocked, shows the Asus screen and then keeps rebooting. If I reboot and hold down the volume down arrow I get the menu with four choice ROC, Android, USB, Wipe.
When I press ROC I get the red triangle.
I've read many threads and I think this indicates its bricked and can't be recovered. I just want to confirm before I sell it for parts.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Actually, since you do have access to the bootloader this may be recoverable.
You have 4 icons in the BL menu, so it's a ICS bootloader. The dead Droid on his back when you select RCK is normal - it's the stock recovery not finding a valid update file.
The easiest way to try to get your tablet back to life would be to download the full Asus firmware from here: http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T&p=28&s=1
Select "Android" as the OS. From the resulting list, choose the firmware for your SKU: US if you are in the USA.
If you are considering running a custom rom do yourself a favor and go for the 10.6.1.14.8 version, NOT the latest firmware 10.6.1.14.10. The .8 version can be rooted, the .10 not.
Download the .zip file, extract it ONCE, getting another zip and rename that file to: EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip
Copy that file to a FAT32 formatted microSD (that's the factory default) and insert it into the tablet.
Boot into recovery (Power and Volume Down, then Volume Up to select RCK) and hopefully the recovery will recognize the file and start to flash it. Be patient - it'll take a while. Wait for it to reboot.

Well that partially worked. Thanks so much!!!
It was able to flash the firmware. It rebooted 5 times before the os came up. I then shut it down. When I turned it on it goes to the Asus screen and then keeps on rebooting indefinitely. I then hit the volume up and power button to reset and then it rebooted 5 times before the OS came up. BTW I flash with 10.6.1.14.10.
Any ideas?
Thanks again,

Hmm, still bootlooping.
Next thing I would try is to boot into the bootloader, select 'Wipe Data' with the Volume Down button, hit Volume Up execute.
And actually, before even booting back to system (that would be choosing the Android), I would reflash the firmware - just for good measure after the data wipe.
Can't wait to hear if that solves it!
So I downgraded to .8. Rooted. Was able to install TWRP. Reflashed, wiped and it still reboots multiple time before coming up. I tried to flash CyanogenMod but all I get is the spinning Cyanogen wheel. I was able to restore .8. Its not bricked anymore. Its just weird that it keeps rebooting before coming up. But at least its now consistent and will come up every time whether from power on or reset.

Great job so far! That you got TWRP installed is very good and gives you many more options. It's version 3.6.1? Have you tried to capture a logcat of the boot process?
The logcat may reveal the cause of this and then you could target the problem easier.
If you can't get a logcat my next step would be to format the data partition. Since you probably do not have that much data on it yet, this is the perfect time for that. Always a good idea when you move to a different rom and major framework change.
Go for a Wipe > Advanced > Format Data. It could be that there's something left behind from a former installation that causes the bootloop.
After the format you have to reflash the rom - or restore your .8 nandroid. Although I would go for CROMi-X 5.0.4. Love that rom. Excellent support too.
sbdags, creator of this rom, also provides a bootloader and several kernels.
I mean, if you flash a new bootloader and kernel, format data, clean install the rom and you still get bootloops, it's got to be hardware related. At least I would be out of ideas at that point.

Hi, how do you capture a logcat. FYI, I flashed with CROMi. It kept hanging on reboot. Finally it booted and worked. I shut it down and now I'm back into the endless looping boot cycle. One thing I didn't mention before when the unit is off the only way it will turn on is if I hold the power button down for 10 seconds.
Thanks,
Mark

At this point only a bootloop logcat can shed light on this. Check the tutorial JTR recommended. It's truly good - thanks for the link!
Hi,
I've attached the logcat. What I did first was do a total wipe, system, data, cache and then reinstalled the rom.
Still having trouble booting once I shutdown and turn it back on.
All the help is greatly appreciated.

Great! Now we need to try to get someone's attention who can actually read and interpret the logcat - that is where my usefulness ends...

Right try booting without the microsd card in. Something is wrong with it. Also turn off the Bluetooth, what ever it is trying to connect to is adding lots of entries to the log.
Hi,
Two months ago I ve unlocked, rooted and installed Cromi-x 5.2.4 on my TF700t. To this day everything was OK, tablet was fast&furous.
Tonight, after 2 weeks, I wanted to turn on TF700T, and I saw only startup screen with asus logo, and I waited a long time and nothing happens. I tryied to press a reset button and nothing again. I saw only asus logo and system doesnt want to start. Then I tryied to to recovery mode TWRP power button+volume up and RCK mode and Ive reinstalled new one Cromi-x 5.3, and again nothing, only asus logo on startup and system doesnt started. What is going on with it, everything was good and now something broken? But why, I do nothing wrong with it, in the meantime. Android was really fast to this day., I rebooted few times and nothing.
Please help me with it. I cant find similar problems on your forum.

First, you need to answer the post above me so we want to make sure that you have a compatible TWRP and bootloader..
Second, I think that you have a corrupted data. In order to solve it, you have to format your data partition and reinstall the Cromi v5.3 which I think it is better than V5.2.4.. lj50036 will get you up and running again...
Please answer lj50036 before proceeding, thanks and good luck...:fingers-crossed:

I hope everything will be OK with my asus.
I think it is very strange, my TF700T was good for a long time after installing about 2014/03/01 CROMI-X ODEX 5.2.3_Signed.zip. Before installing this ROM I choose TF700_10.6.1.14.10_US_Boot_TWRP_2610_Signed.zip (US_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801 A03 when I started TWRP right now), my asus is from US. ROM is US version too. When I was installing this ROM, I choose _that 10.6.1.14.10 Over Clocked Modded Stock Kernel with 1518 - Power Save option, I remember.
What is important I think. Before installing ROM, I used ASUS stock bootloader with newest version 10.6.1.14.10 and I ve done downgrading to ASUS Stock 10.6.1.14.8, because I couldnt rooted it after unloking. It was without problems. Ive done this compare to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425383 site Scenario one.
I used PC with WIN7 x64 doing this with stock Asus cable. Like I said, last night I reinstall twice to new rom CROMI-X 5.3, installing finished with success, but tablet stuck with logo on startup and waiting. When tablet stuck on startup logo and waiting from time to time screen is brighter and so on, pulsing. That is everything I remember, let me know what to do, this is tough for me, because my english is not to good, sorry about it.
While installing a new CROMI-X again could I choose Cromi WW version (bootloader is US) I didnt find answer on forum about it ?
Please, send me procedure to recover TF700T functionality. I cant imagine, what was done with corrupted data, like you said. Tablet was quaite good few days ago, I used NFW most Wanted, Frisby, internet, and I do nothing special in the middle, to last night, when I tried to turn it ON.
Thank you.

I don't think you did anything wrong just you were unlucky. Did you disable fsync when installing and which kernel option did you choose?
Which version of TWRP are you using?
The fix will be to wipe or format data so it would be helpful if you had a nandroid backup on your external card first as you may be able to restore it.

Your device is fine...:good: It needs some fixes and should be up running again.. BTW, welcome aboard... It looks like that you have the latest bootloader and TWRP v2.6.1.0. So this part is good..
First, I hope that you have a TWRP backup or nandroid backup because it will save you a lot of time for the setup..
Second, you need to save all your personal data and stuffs to your External SD so you will not loose anything when you format your data partition.
Third, you need to copy the Cromi v5.3 to your External SD so you can install it.
Fourth, this is the fun part and follow every steps so you have a clean installation..
1. Boot into the TWRP
2. Select Wipe button. Under Wipe, there are two selections. One is Advance Wipe. Another is Format.
3. You need to select Format button. You need to type "yes" to confirm and hit the Enter button to format your data partition.
4. When the format is successful, now you can install Cromi v5.3. Since you have a US bootloader, I recommend you to use the US ROM. During the installation process, these are my suggestions for the installation:
--Choose wipe dalvik and cache
--Choose _that's kernel V7
--Do Not select any ET tweaks
--Do Not select UV/OV
--Do Not select cache2sd or data2sd or rom2sd
--If you don't mind what launcher to use, please don't use the Stock launcher. I suggest using Apex launcher.. You need to make sure to Unckeck the Stock launcher check box. You don't want to install it at all..
--You are free to choose anything else that you like to install except the list above...
Fifth, since your system is not stable, I don't know if your backup is a good backup or not. So it would be better to start all your setup all over again. When you are happy with your new setup, you need to boot back into the TWRP so you can make a good backup for later to restore if you need to...
I think that should be good for now and please feel free to ask any question...Good luck...:fingers-crossed:
