It probably didn't flash a kexec recovery. Just boot into recovery and flash a non kexec ROM ...hopefully you have one sitting on your SD card. If not your have to get one there or dd a kexec recovery with adb and reboot with the ROM you currently have installed
I guess he can't even get into recovery, as he said all he sees is wallpaper. He used TWRP recovery, which is NOT Kexec enabled. In order to flash CM, you needed to flash CWM 6.0.1.0. Now, basically your only choice is to either adb the cwm recovery, or just reflash stock using odin (easier option), flash cwm, then reinstall CM.

It's odd his recovery won't open I wonder if goo flashed the incorrect version.
(I'm a noob.)
I have a tf101 (sbk2), rooted w/ CM10 and CWM 5.8.3.4. Somehow, during my rooting/recovery flashing process, something got screwed up because it will always boot straight into recovery. In recovery, if I "reboot system now," it will reboot... right back into recovery.
The ONLY way I can get into CM10 is by attempting to boot into recovery (voldown+power during boot), and then letting the prompt time out.
That was strange, but now that I'm trying to install Ubuntu, I come across more problems. I can't install any other recovery - flashing other versions of CWM in Rom Manager say they're successful, but the tab still boots into CWM v5.8.3.4 every time. Nothing seems to get rid of it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hello friends,
So I wanted to switch my TF101 to Cyanogenmod this weekend. I've been using Revolver, but with other devices on CM, I wanted some consistency in the experience among my devices.
I started by updating my Clockworkmod Recovery version. Flashing the latest 6.0.1.3 version caused problems with Install Zip from Sdcard, for some reason. So I downgraded to the 5.8.3.4 Touch version. Now Recovery works, but I cannot utilize adb reboot-recovery (it reboots system), Reboot System Now from CWM (it reboots recovery), or manually power off to reboot system (it reboots recovery). I can manually reboot back to system by Power+Vol Down and letting it cold boot, but this is less than ideal.
Here's my big problem. I went ahead with trying to flash CM anyways. I booted into the recovery, with the CM zip on my sdcard partition. I wiped cache and data, flashed the sdcard, and then tricked my tablet into cold booting (sigh). Then I waited. CM's logo spun around, and around, and around...and did this for the better part of an hour.
So I tried flashing it again. Same problem. I would have tried flashing back to Revolver, but apparently the new CWM looks for my internal partition rather than my microSD card, and that's where Revolver is stored. Bad luck there.
I went hunting for some unbricking tools. I got the tablet into APX mode once, and got my computer to recognize that something was there. But by the time I'd installed the drivers, Windows wouldn't recognize that anything was connected. So I can't use any APX tools.
tl;dr: Here's my problem:
Bootlooping ROM
Recovery Access (CWM Touch 5.8.3.4)
No ADB access
No APX access

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.

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!
