I would get rid of ROM Manager IMO. Don't flash CWM with ROM Manager if you haven't done so.
Use this to get into recovery

I just installed it to see and it work for me.
Booted into recovery, I remember a few weeks back there was an update to RM
which made boot into recovery work.
Like Kadin stated, it's not much use for the TF right now IMO.

Need help fixing my tablet

I haven't been using my tablet in a long time until recently, so let me try to explain what I did in the best way possible.
Back when Rom Manager started adding Clockwork Mod to download through the app, I downloaded it but already had someone else's version of Clockwork Mod on my device. My device then started booting straight into Clockwork Mod and the only way to get into android was to cold boot linux.
I did a restore of android on the device and this did not fix the problem.
How can I go about fixing my device? Thanks. Hopefully description was enough.

[Q] Problem Loading Booting Recovery kernel image

i just installed Rom Manager and than i clicked on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery on the app and from that time on when i try to enter RCK
it stuck on Booting Recovery Kernel image.
Pls i need some help.
you are now bricked. Rom Manager is flashing the prime recovery, not the TF300.
If you are still able to use fastboot, try flashing TWRP with fastboot, cause CWM had many problems on TF300
I don't think its a brick situation but I agree with the previous suggestion, use a PC and flash twrp recovery using fastboot. See the Dev section for details, website data, and instructions.

Just inserted "Resolved" into your OP title
Good to hear that your tf300 works now

TF101 reboots automatically and returns to CWM, can only start with coldboot!

Strange situation, after some time my TF101 reboots itself and it returns to Clockwordmod recovery.
I installed an app that I read here somewhere to lock that it doesn't reset itself but it still does...
This evening i'll try to flash another rom, would this solve it?
Anyone knows the link to CWM touch recovery zipfile ?
Thanks!

Install twrp 2.2.x... either you can download or push it using easy flash through nvflash... in any case install a recovery, wipe everything (factory rest) including internal memory, data, dalvik.. do a complete reinstallation of you preferred ROM... good luck

Thanks, I found twrp 2.3, is it better than CWMR Touch maybe?

Problems flashing custom recovery

I have a strange problem. A while ago I successfully unlocked my infinity. That was before the jb update. I also successfully flashed custom recoveries and several roms. Didn't ran into any problems. When the official jb update came out, I restored original recovery and flashed a stock ics Rom, and after that successfully applied the jb update. The second update .30 also went smooth. I used the update file from Asus servers. Now I want to flash a custom recovery again in order to flash cleanrom. In adb I see my device and I can reboot with fastboot and stuff. So I think my drivers are ok. However as soon as I start to flash recovery.img it just says sending recovery and that's it. It just hangs there. Nothing happens. I tried everything, from changing usb ports and uninstalling drivers... It just can't send the recovery img. I use Scott's script to flash the recovery.blob. any ideas?

I can't use it because it needs root, and as long as I don't have a custom recovery I'm unable to root my stock jellybean Rom. Or is there already another way to root?

Are you saying you can not get TWRP or CWM installed ? or are you saying you do have one installed but no root ?
If it is the latter then can't you just flash a custom rom that has root built in ( like Baked ) then go back to twrp and now with root you can wipe and flash stock. ? I am sorry if I am miss understanding your question. But at least you get a free 'bump'

He said he has no root (why he couldn't use Goomanger) and he can't flash recovery.

Thats correct, i am trying to get custom recovery, after that root is no problem.
Edit: i just installed a clean windows 8 installation. So no old drivers left behind or other weird stuff. I put my transformer in fastboot mode, driver is automatically installed, i see it under device manager. Stillno luck.... it hangs saying sending recovery.... no error messages. My previous attempt was under win7.

Glenner, did you make sure you have the img file in the same folder as you fastboot/adb command files?
If it says "sending recovery", I'd assume that it found the local file.
I don't use Windows, but I always read about driver issues in Windows. Maybe the auto-installed driver is wrong? Does "fastboot devices" return question marks or nothing?
i'm happy to report that finally it worked! seemed something strange with drivers/USB ports after all. Despite i already changed USB ports under my win 7 installation, i tried it again under win8, and suddenly it worked. I didn't reinstall the drivers or something, all went automatically. So the strange issues are driver issues for sure. Anyway, currently happy running cleanrom 2.3
thanks for all your suggestions and thinking along.....

New to this device.

Is the toolkit on here still working? Also any fully stable fast jb rom ? At least 4.1? Thanks in advance.

No idea about the toolkits, since I've never needed it. If you dont want to risk bricking your device via bad toolkits, you can check out how to get nvflash (sorta like fastboot, but not) working on your device directly and use that to flash alternate recovery:
http://androidroot.mobi/2012/05/27/introducing-wheelie-nvflash-for-asus-transformer-tf101-b70/
As for ROM...
I recommend my CM10.1 builds. Stable. Has nightly builds if you want a constant stream of updates. About as fast as this device gets. Certainly much better than anything stock has to offer.
I would also recommend Timduru's Team EOS ROM. He does a fantastic job maintaining it and has rapid updates as well. It's not CM. It's Team EOS. It's different.
Both are 4.2-based. Try both and see which one you like

I know that PERI still works to install CWM, and also EasyFlasher works to root in APX mode.
The last time I flashed back to stock I used Wolf's Method 3 to root so I could jump straight to TWRP 2.3.2.3.
PERI installs a version of CWM. If you are going to run any 4.2 ROMs, you should use TWRP 2.3.2.3 or RaymanFX's 6.X.X.X recoveries to handle the new multi-user file structure.
EasyFlasher flashes 2.2.X.X TWRP. You can just replace the TWRP blob in the file structure with the 2.3.2.3 if you want and flash straight to 2.3.2.3.
I have gotten more into using adb and terminal commands with working on some boot animations, so I used Wolf's method to jump straight to TWRP.
Thank you guys

Sure.
I would still use TWRP myself, but you can just load the files you want to flash on the /sdcard/ directory.
I know that TWRP will not wipe the /sdcard/ directory unless you wipe the data partition. A factory reset in recovery only wipes the /data/ partition and skips the /data/media/ partition (/sdcard/).
Keep in mind, if you do not have a microSD and you get to a point where you cannot boot other than to recovery, you will need to use adb to push a zip file to the /sdcard/ to flash it.
IMO, it is worth the $10-$15 to get a small (4-16 GB) microSD to do nandroid backups and make it easier to flash ROMs.
Also, many of the CWM recoveries can only see the /sdcard/. I know that the RaymanFX Hybrid CWM 6.X.X.X has a few versions, Internal only, External Only and Hybrid (can see both internal and external) storage.
Thx.. yea ive been using nexus devices forever so ive lost all my micro sd lol

You need to hold those keys until the splash screen comes.
When it tells you to press vol up to boot recovery you release per +boom down and just press vol up.
It should then tell you it is boring recovery before the twrp spak screen appears.
