[Q] Flashing rom on the b90? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello xda!
I need help on flashing a rom on the transformer b90, I am already rooted using razorclaw but I'm scared to even try to flash. Has anyone successfully flashed a rom on the b90 or should I hold off and wait? The rom I'm interested in is the krakd rom. Would it be safe to flash?

If you're rooted you must also install CWM recovery to flash custom ROM.
Anything done is "at your own risk".

[Q] Stock Recovery Problemsim

im having problems with my asus transformer b90. i was rooted and just running stock but all of a sudden i lost root (i rooted with razorclaw) my stock recovery is also not working, i turn it into the recovery, then the android shows up with the cogs, but soon after the screen turns into an android with a caution sign. any help or suggestions on what to do?
Did you update firmware? That might explain why you lost root.
As for "Stock recovery" what are you trying to do? The stock recovery
doesn't do much except scan for an "update" and apply it.
I finally got root back using the nachoroot method and i installed cwm so no more stock recovery. By the way i was trying to use the stock recovery to downgrade to .19 to try and root with razorclaw. thank you

Yes you need root access in order to remove asus apps and all the bloat, if you choose to install a custom ROM they already have enabled root and also debloated. First thing you need to do is install a custom recovery, either CWM or TWRP.
hope that helped.

Read the sticked posts in the q and a forum. There are many posts which show you how to flash a custom recovery and get root access.
Basically you need to unlock boot loader, use fastboot to flash recovery, then use recovery to flash a root zip

[Q] Cannot flash custom rom

I have a asus tf300t running 4.2.1 with unlocked bootloader and root. I am running twrp v2.5.0.0 and I have already made backups of my apps. I am trying to install a custom rom. Preferably PACman rom but at this point any will do. When I try to flash the rom it go through the whole process then reboots but does not get past the asus splash screen.
What is the problem? Is it that the new bootloader does not accept any custom roms, if so how do I downgrade to 4.1? Otherwise I am open to any advice.

You must be on Jelly Bean 4.2.1
with the Asus Stock bootloader 10.6.1.8 and TWRP Recovery patched 2.4.4.0
or
Bootloader 10.1.15.3 and TWRP patched 2.5.0.0
You will find all versions of Stock firmwares and Stock kernels here
And the TWRP recoveries here

I am currently running the 10.1.15.3 bootloader and TWRP 2.5.0.0, yet it still does not finish flashing the ROM. I even tried to flash a more simple stock based ROM, ie. black beans 8. This did not work either. It went through the twrp flash and restarted but when it got to the ASUS boot up screen it simply stopped. I waited about 10 minutes for it to possibly load however it never did. So I am restored back to my stock and am awaiting any further help.

In the OP for PACman rom it says you must be on android 4.1.1 to flash his rom. You need to pick a rom for your 4.2.1. I am also on 4.2.1 and run CROMI 4.6.6 with no issues. Have also succesfully tried the Energy rom. Read carefully the OP for the rom's you are considering and make sure they are for 4.2.1

I am having the same problem! I am running 4.2.1 and im trying to install blackbean 8 using twrp 2.5.0.0. I factory reset in twrp and wipe cache and dalvic. I then install the the rom and reboot but it will not go past the first boot screen with the tegra logo in the bottom right. It always flashes for a second but then does nothing. I have even tried cm 10.1 and it does the exact same thing. I am still able to restore back to stock. This is my first time flashing a rom so any help would be appreciated!
For the latest [ROM][4.2.2][ OFFICIAL] PAC-man v23.0.0 [OC up to 1.7GHz][New Update 22/06/2013], if you read the installation process, you need to be 4.1.1 and not 4.2.1 and also you need installed custom recovery for JB 4.1 BL !
For the latest [ROM]ASU-JellyBean-Hydro 8 (6/29/13)Liquid Butter..- Tf300 -Official 10.6.1.15.3 Base, you need to be on 4.2.1 and 10.6.15.3 bootloader
and you will see to the changelog:
...not sure if any bootloader will work...

[Q] loading stock firmware without screwing custom recovery

Hi... im currently running
CROMi-X v5.2.2, which is based on rom 10.6.1.27.5 with twrp 2.5.0.0 and my bootloader says is the one that came with us10.6.1.15.3-20130416...
To install omni kitkat, im been asked to have the latest bootloader, to avoid screwing up im planning on insalling the latest stock from asus...
However, each time i install a stock through twrp or cwr, the new image not only updates the bootloader and deletes all my data, but rewrites my recovery, for which then i have too reupload using fastboot to upload the recovery...
Is there any way to make sure i dont loose the recovery after flashing a stock firmware... or a way to flash the recovery from the recovery before rebooting after flashing the stock?
Thanks everyone!

Flashing the stock ROM reverts the tablet back to stock, so the recovery must go. Luckily, the bootloader you are on is compatible with the KitKat recovery (10.6.1.15.3) so you shouldnt have to flash the stock ROM at all. If you were on 10.6.1.8, you would have had to upgrade.

Thanks, then guess i only need to flash the kitkat twrp...
Asked the same question about my bootloader at the omni thread to be sure, if they say that it works too, will go ahead and give it a try

You could try extracting the boot.img from you custom rom, placing it in your adb folder, then flash the boot image all by itself with TWRP. That has pulled me out of bootloops....
