I rooted my HTC Desire CDMA from USCC okay, flashed a Froyo ROM with USCC stuff, and everything was okay. I made a nandroid backup, flashed CyanogenMod 7 RC4 and it seem to work okay, except I was having trouble entering my password when checking voice mail. Anyway, I decided to go back to Froyo. I used ROM Manager to restore the backup and got into ClockworkMod. However, none of the options work. If I go down to recovery, I go to the next screen, but no matter which option I select I end up with a black screen and nothing happens! I can't restore my backup! If I just try to press power on, I end up with the blue CyanogenMod screen and the arrow just goes round and round. Nothing happens. Please, if anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.
I remember hearing that because CM7 is a Gingerbread mod, it must use ClockworkMod v3 and to go back to your Froyo backup you'll need to downgrade to Clockwork Recovery 2.x. I'm not sure if things has changed, though, this was what I read a month or two ago.
Are you by any chance able to fastboot?
Reflash your CWM (if you are using NAND version) or get it again on your SD (if your are using SD version).
The problem is I can't do anything in ClockworkMod (version 2.5). Every option I select gives me a blank screen! I made a nandroid backup before flashing CyanogenMod, but I have no way of getting to my backup if I can't use ClockworkMod. Also, if I try to boot the phone, i just get the CyanogenMod 7 startup screen with the arrow going round and round. It will still be there 30 minutes later. I have to do a battery pull to start over with anything.
I was able to boot my phone after wiping all user data. I would like to use my nandroid backup to return to the previous ROM, but clockworkmod doesn't seem to work. I tried reflashing it in ROM manager and it only downloads a second or so and isn't really doing anything. I'm wondering if clockworkmod is defective. Is there any other way to flash it again without using ROM Manager?
If you are able to fastboot, you could try to restore a nandroid by flashing three files (boot.img, system.img, data.img) from your nandroid backup using:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
Disclaimer: I've not actually tried this procedure before! I got this info from here
You could use a similar procedure to flash a new ClockworkMod since your recovery may be corrupted: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-vision.img
You can download the image from Koush's website, under HTC G2.
This happened to me yesterday trying out the Alpha Build for the Fascinate. I was getting a dev block error and datadata would not mount. I had to go back to stock on heimdall. I don't know if this helps for your phone, but maybe somone with more knowledge can tell you if this may be happing to you and what the fix is, if that's not a fix for you.
Well today I took some time to try and figure out why people are having so many issues loading up these nice custom ROMS that the Developers have spent such great time on to make or tablets so great. We'll let start off with first I am no way a Developer and I do understand to processes that are needed to take my Tablet to the next level and recover whatever problems I happen to fall in along the way. After saying that let's begin.
This processes that I did is only for those willing to go the distance on there devices. If this is your first time with installing a custom rom and you where or are running TapUI firmware 5699 or if you happen to reverted back to stock TapUI to get the latest 5699 firmware update and are having trouble with installing new ROMS then this is for you. Others well I guess stick to the Q&A forums for further help, but this might help you out as well.
I went ahead and reverted back to stock using the 1.2 NVflash file found here http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummie...sig_permission_level=0&fb_sig_network=fw#2132
This got me back to stock 1.2 with stock Android recovery, not CWM. After the installation was complete I went ahead and checked for update and sure enough there was 5699 update available. So after update I tried loading up G_Harmony_Gingebreadv2.8.2 for 1.2 BL using stock recovery. I changed file name to update.zip like usual and installed it. Sure enough on reboot system it just stayed at the android splash screen, not the bootanimation. So, I thought maybe it's the recovery so I loaded up CWM 3.0.2.8 on its update zip to my internal SD card. Got it going and since I was using it I just left the ROM file name alone and installed it from internal SD card. Same thing happened as before. Was able to get back into recovery and mounts and format cache, data and system and install. Guess what same thing. For some reason I think is that the new firmware changes something that would cause these 1.2 ROMS not to load up. I tried 3 different ROMS without success and all 3 worked before the update. Solution I did was go into current CWM recovery and wipe data factory reset go into mounts and format cache, mount data then format and mount system then format. Go back and reboot system and when the first splash screen shows up hold down the power button to shut the tablet down. Reboot into APX mode and NVflash to fully stock 1.2 with Android recovery and let it boot up the TapUI fully. Then you can NVflash recovery 3.0.2.8 or NVflash 5.5.0.4 beta 15 for DRH. Choose you poison and flash away again without issues. Hopefully this will help other out and if you need the NVflash files I will be more then happy to uplink them or point you in the right direction.
Hello, I believed I have an issue. Hope it not to serious. My problem is that i can't get passed the ASUS logo Splash screen.
1st: I was one stock jelly bean rooted cwm recovery v6.0.1.2 and decide I wanted to get on to Hydro 3.6 Jellybean (9/17)
2nd I downloaded the ROM wiped cache,delvic and factory reset then installed, didn't install at first so I tried a mirror and then it installed correctly restarted the tablet and here I am.
3rd: Tried clean rom 2.0 still no luck.
Please help I'm 15 and don't wanna break the bad news to my parents.

It's just a softbrick. As long as you can get into fastboot you are ok.
I suggest reflashing the stock jellybean rom. You can download it from the asus website.
As for getting it into your device (i dont know if cwm supprots sd cards yet). You can use the adb push commands or you can flash twrp which supprots flashing from the sd card.
Also next time read the rom thread carefully. It specifically says you should use twrp.
Hey man try this, it works for me (Same situation but i'm 17 xD)
1) Download this http://www.mediafire.com/?5diezc69u1b16f8
2)Extract the "recovery1" folder in C:\ drive
3)Plug the tablet to PC and turn it on while pressing VOL- and POWER, then go to the fastboot mode (is the USB symbol)
4)Download from here ( http://support.asus.com/Download.asp...300T&p=20&s=16 ) the WW of US instead of the version of the tablet you have got, the extract the blob file in the "recovery1" folder
5)Open CMD, type cd c:\recovery1 then press enter
6)Type dir to see if all the files are in the folder
7)type this command fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
8)After is done, type fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
9)Enjoy!
If you can't do any of this steps, post here and I will help you
Fixed It!

Hey actually like 10 mins after I posted I was able to install Clean Rom.
I formated every partition except sd card in v6.0.1.2 cwm recovery as well as factory reset and wipe dalvik.
Actually I like cwm recovery better and it does support microsd cards now. This is the jb/touch bootloader.
Thanks for the Help anyways.
.
Same problem, when i try to flash JB Hydro 3.6... i stuck into bootloop... i flash the official asus update and it works... But when i try to flash the hydro rom it doesn't work.... Why?
I guess you have the new JellyBean Bootloader... because of that you can only flash ROM's which are made for it...
.
I know... i update from jb ota to hydro... but when i flash the 3.6 i got bootloop... and now i can flash this rom...
Hello Forum! I've come here for a little help! Here's My Story.
After running Cyanogen 10.1 Nightlies on 4.2.2 for quite some time, I decided to do a factory reset because my TF300T seemed to be running a little slugish. I DID NOT back it up (mistake #1), DID NOT have USB Debugging on (mistake #2), and, while CWM was wiping /data, I shut off the tablet (STRIKE THREE). Prior to my bonehead move, I had everything else squared away. The unit was fully functional. Now, I'm stuck in this infernal boot loop on the ASUS screen.
I can reboot into recovery, so CWM is not compromised. I have tried to push a new ZIP of the ROM via ADB (unsuccessful, thinking the drivers are nerfed) and through CWM (also unsuccessful).
If anyone has any ideas, please feel free to comment.
P.S. Please don't kill me Mods, I'll be good after this
Update:
After looking through the forums more I tried all of these:
Installed the Universal Naked Driver (Sorta Worked)
Reflashed the system blob from the most recent CyanogenMod Nightly (Says it wrote, I doubt it did)
Went into CWM, tried to Sideload the CM zip (Didn't work)
Then, I took my external SD, placed the CM zip onto it, rebooted the tablet w/ the SD in it, booted into CWM, TRIED a full system wipe (couldn't mount /data), and reflashed the ROM. That worked! ... sorta. Upon "successful install", I had CWM reboot the TF300T. It came to the ASUS Screen w/ a progress bar (went from 1% to 100% within a second). However, after that, it went back to the bootloop ASUS screen
I feel like I'm close on this one, any tips?

I would try to install TWRP recovery since CWM is sometimes a bit flaky, I would use TWRP 2.3.3.0 since I believe is the most stable but you can install the latest one 2.4.4.0, then flash the blob file via fastboot (instructions are at the twrp site) and repeat the same process as you did with CWM, wipe everything and then flash CM.zip from external SD and see if it works that way. If that does not work, try reflashing the stock system blob from Asus this time using fastboot and that will put you completely stock and then you can start over.
hope it helps.

It Unbricked!
Step 1: Flashed TWRP 2.4.4.0 blob file to overwrite CWM (Check)
Step 2: Factory Reset and Wipe Entire Device (CHECK!?!?!)
Step 3: Flash CM.zip!?!?! (Not So Check ... PLAN B!)
Downloaded Chinese Stock system blob (don't ask, I know it was stupid, but go with me here)
Flashed the system blob (after 3 minutes ... SUCCESS!)
No more boot loop and back to stock ... now to root it again to get my sweet CyanogenMod back ...
Thank you Erik, your help was much appreciated!
Hello,
My TF700 was on a CleanRom (2.3 i think), for a while, i decided to update.
- I installed the latest CWM (via fastboot) and flashed a Cyanogen 10.2 "stable", but my tablet freezed very quickly after successful boot, i tried some reboots and get same problem.
- I tried to install a stock ODEX root ROM, the tablet freezed at asus logo
- I flashed TWRP instead of CWM, it doesn't helped
- I tried wipe data and cache with TWRP, then my data was not accessible anymore and TWRP was unable to re-create it
- I searched on forums and found on this one that flash a boot.blob file can solve the problem
- It doesn't and now CWM and TWRP refuse to work ....
So i post here before getting my tablet completely brick.
At this point, i get access to fastboot / abd, CWM load but don't work (reboot when trying to do something), TWRP don't load.
Any suggestion to get back to a Stock ODEX rooted rom ?
Excuse my english ...

Sounds like you are on an old bootloader. Flash the stock rom from asus by unzipping the zip you download from their website and placing in the root folder of your micro sd and then go into rck from the bootloader menu (power + volume down whilst booting)
Or you could just flash it from recovery....
lj50036 helped me to flash a new bootloader, recovery, rom and nvflash to make it unbrickable
Not just helped he spent many times to explain me how it works and what he did.
He is very nice and this was a pleasure to talk with him, i'm happy that there's still person like that on this planet
see you !

I buy a tf700 with cm 11 a few days ago i am really interessted on how this steps works. I really want to make it unbrickeable, But i dont really understand how it works. I can not enter in fastboot. at least i got cwm interface when rebooting with adb into recovery.
Can u explain how you did it?
It invovles flashing a modified bootloader and the flatline recovery and then using Wheelie to generate your nvflash blobs.
Step-by-step instructions (which you need to follow to the letter) are here:

Stuck in boot loop, fastboot and recovery accessible
Hello,
I'm having a similar issue and I need help! Initially my tablet was rooted with Cromi-X 5.4. Then I decided to try Crombi-KK.
Here is what happened:
- Updated TWRP recovery
- Did a full wipe as recommended
- Flashing got stuck at the Crombi-KK loading sign
- Tried to reflash but TWRP wasn't detecting data partition anymore
- Instead installed the other recommended recovery CWMR.
- Flashed Crombi-KK, it worked. Played around with it for a few days, it was wonderful, fast and responsive.
- Battery died out and when I turned it back on I got a UIDs system inconsistent error.
- I found online many recommendations to reflash so I tried to do that
- Since then I'm stuck in a boot loop. I see the initial "bios" Asus logo then it restarts over and over.
- I am able to access bootloader and recovery
I've tried reflashing the asus stock blob. I've tried wiping the data through CWMR but it starts working and then it restarts. I don't know what to do anymore, so if anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks
Which recovery and bootloader version do you have now?
A (for KK) outdated bootloader seems the most likely culprit.
You can try save the recovery log when you flash or grab a logcat of the bootloop, but probably it'll only tell you that the recovery cannot mount /data.
Determine that you are on the correct bootloader, if not update it. If you're lucky the tablet will start right up. If it doesn't, formatting /data is the only way I know to get it back. Not just wiping - formatting it. You will loose everything on internal SD, so I hope you have a nandroid you can restore from later.
If you use TWRP 2.7+ be aware that formatting can take more than an hour. Let it finish!
For good measure, download CROMBi-KK again, check the md5 and then flash that file.
I'm on 10.6.1.14.10 bootloader which I think is the latest one
I have 6.0.4.7 CWMR
I'm trying to format data completely but when i do it in CWMR it starts and then the tablet reboots on it's own after a couple of minutes.
How can I retrieve the logs, I never had to do it before.
Thanks for your help
Mhh, getting a little more complicated.
Your BL is ok...
What do you see in CWM when you go into Mounts and Storage? What is mounted?
The recovery logs are under Advanced > show logs.
I'm at work now but from what I remember the only thing mounted was the cache. I'll double check tonight. Do you think there's any hope or I have a brand new paper weight?

Can you fastboot flash twrp?
It's much much better than CWM, has its own terminal and will be easier to offer the correct format command.

So I flashed TWRP and when I go in mount/storage everything is selected except for system. Should I do a format data from the wipe menu before flashing crombi-kk again?

To be in the safe side, yes, that is what I would do. TWTRP 2.7.+ takes a long time to format and it may seem the process got stuck. Give it at least 90 minutes to finish.
Then reflash CROMBi
I'm back up and running !!!
This time installing TWRP, everything was mounted (maybe my previous flash before CWMR wasn't good), did a format data, waited until it was done, flashed latest Crombi-KK and going through setup now. Hopefully won't have the same UID issue on next shutdown. I didn't enable fsync or journaling so hopefully it won't happen again.
Thanks both of you for your help!
Good deal! Happy for you!
