So, much of the stuff in this and other threads has been a tremendous help. I did pretty much exactly what OP did in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779080.
I was having trouble getting my computer to recognize the usb drivers. I was able to finally get ADB to see the tablet by following this thread., Now, when I go to push the stock rom, I get an error message of "Protocol Failure" in cmd.
Any ideas?
I am trying the Universal Naked Drivers, as I have other android devices. I'm shooting in the dark with that though.
I noticed it says adb out of date. Have you tried updating the sdk?
Any chance you have a HTC phone with htc sync installed on the PC? Read that adb version isn't compatible
same thing happened to me using windows. i tried it using ubuntu and i was able to successfully adb push the rom to the tf300 without any problems.

I tried ubuntu and ADB worked perfectly. I was able to go back to .30 stock.
Now though, whenever I try to flash ASUS-HYDRO 3.7 all I get is a bootloop. I am following each step verbatim.
when you flashed the base did you get any bootloops? the bootloop is probably caused because maybe you flashed both the base and the update at the same time. you were supossed to to flash the base and boot into it then flash the update after the base booted atleast once.

That was the base, not the update. I also get hardlocked at boot if I try with CleanROM.
The only ROM that works is Stock .30. I have also verified that I am running stock after booting in stock, checking kernel version.
Ive tried wiping system multiple times before installing, Ive tried cache, and Dalvik. I also factory reset. Same results every go. Ive redownloaded the zips just incase as well.
which version of CWM are you using?
I had many problems with the touch or TWRP.
If you are not already on it, try 5.5.0.4

I'm using 5.5.0.4.
I go from this stage, install CWM 5.5.0.4 via fastboot, and let it reboot. I restart again in CWM and follow the instructions listed on the ASUS-Hydra page.

After doing this, the tablet boots to the screen that says This Device is unlocked, and has ASUS in the middle. It sits there for a couple minutes, and then reboots, repeating over and over.
I eventually force shutdown, reenter CWM, and flash .30 back on it, and then fastboot CWM back on. I go through the setup process with .30, and everything works with stock, including wifi and camera.

I know it's probably a PEBCAK issue, but since upgrading to ICS neither my Win boot nor my Mint one recognise the Transformer on USB... Neither does adb or fastboot for what is worth...
Anyone else experiencing the issue?

But since i transfer my data via Dock/USB it's not a big issue atm.

My B50 was recognized by Win7 after successfully installing the device driver. A TF101 Drive was created with SD and External Storage available. I have a stock ICS, no root and no custom roms.
Mine did to. Although I had to go into device manager and uninstall the replug mine in and they reinstalled themselves. All but one that I can remember off hand but I just double-clicked it and it installed the 2nd time.
I had same issue... if you used CWM flashable package, you need to reflash bootloader. I've found link in dev section. From then everything is just fine.

Make sure you flash the update appropriate for your region.
The version linked might be for US, and you might have WW firmware. Etc. The version of the update and your firmware must match.

Yes. I was originally on Prime 2.1.0, flashed ww-9.2.1.11-CWM-full-rooted.zip, then flashed ww-8.6.5.21-9.2.1.11-CWM-full-rooted.zip on top. No wipes were performed and everything else except the battery usage is working properly.

What would be the best way to fix this then. Should I revert to Honeycomb stock and update the official way or shall I just wipe and reflash ww-8.6.5.21-9.2.1.11-CWM-full-rooted.zip. Also, If I did the second method, what exactly should I wipe?

Which version CWM do you use? I use Rogue XM Recovery v1.3.0 and no problem.
You can flash the boot image from Android (terminal or ADB) :
extract bloob file from .zip to sdcard and
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
wait several minutes for better safety and reboot your TF.

When you mean extract blob from the zip and place to the root of SD, do you mean the internal SD or the Removable SD?
It doesn´t matter, I prefer internal memory.
Code:
dd if=[B]/sdcard/blob[/B] of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
this is path to blob (internal SD)

I got the tablet "unlocked:, Rooted, And running clockworkmod recovery. I had over the air update to 4.1 before all this but had no issues. I downloaded a ROM for 4.1, and when I rebooted into CWM I went to wipe my data and thats when it happened. The data wipe froze. I ended up having to forcfully turn it off. Then I got bootloop. I can get into cwm but I cant find my ROM to flash it. So im literally stuck. Is there a One Click revert to stock I can use? Or anything? Many thanks to anyone who can help.

I have no access to my sd card. The ROM I downloaded previously does not show up in CWM.
You can't flash it again from cwm by redowloding, then putting on your SD card then munt in it?
U could reflash your unit with stock ROM using fastboot. I just unbricked my unit doing that after 5 days of fighting.
This is what I did, I downloaded job update from Asus then moved the blob to c/fast boot, loaded unit to fast boot then typed
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
But make sure our boot loader is 10.4 or it will signature mismatch, so down load the appropriate boot loader .
That's what I did at least and my unit is working again.

you will lose your cwm, but you can re implement it when your done.

it has to match your current bootloader. if you updated jellybean your bootloader version is 10.4 and that is irreversible. so find out if that rom works on your current boot loader. once you go jb you can't go back.
in short. idk. if you want your unit install a rom that is made for your bootloader. idk custom roms. i use stock os rooted.

Well this didn't work. I found the boot.blob and did what everything said to do but still boot loops. Not sure if it was because its not stock or not. I did notice that when I put in the command to reboot, it said it reboot but the tablet did nothing..... so is there a chance that it didn't even flash? It did seem very fast.

Hi
Today I've tried to free my TF300T from the stock rom. It was running on the last official version from ASUS (JB 4.2).
Firstly I did unlock the boot loader with the official tool from ASUS.
The I have installed TWRP (fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob) as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982
And at last, I installed AOPK 4.2.2 as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2112369
Now my device always stopps booting at the ASUS screen. I still can enter the recovery mode and I have tried to reinstall AOPK 4.2.2 several times. Unfortunately with no success. The system still doesn't boot.
Does someone have an idea? Many thanks!
And i have twrp v.2.4.4.0 installed.
If just tried to reinstall the stock ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T Firmware: V10.6.1.8 Only for WW SKU (Android 4.2) - 2013.03.11 update.
Twrp always reports: Failed.
Nobody? I would really appreciate a hint.

That AOKP version that you are trying to install is not compatible with your tf300, you were running the latest Asus official 4.2 and the bootloader is not the same.
You need to install either Energy ROM or Cleanrom 4.3

Since you followed that guide for upgrade i am guessing you got his link for the right recovery for this bootloader? It should look like:
openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob
The one for this bootloader have a -4.2. at the end.
If so I would put the CROMI 4.3 rom (its great) on a known working SD card and do a full wipe. Cache, dalvik, factory reset, and wipe internal. Possibly even format data on the internal since there may still be data from a rom meant for the 4.1.1 bootloader. Then i would try to reinstall CROMI.
Also if you just want stock, there is a stock rooted rom available: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2243025
Hello, I seem to have soft bricked my tf700.
I flashed a newish pacman nightly in CWM (after wiping data/cache/dalvik cache), which completed with no errors, then I flashed the corresponding GAPPS. But my device became stuck in the pacman boot intro.
So I tried flashing slimkat which led to my device not getting past the first bootup screen (where you can enter recovery if pressing the corresponding buttons).
After this screw-up I stupidly hit the wipe data button on the bootloader. I then tried doing the method of using fastboot to erase system, cache, and all that so I could flash system blob of the newest asus US SKU (that is correct for a US bought tf700 right?). Either this or wiping the data caused me to have a different bootloader as pictured below as I no longer have the android button and it does not ask me to press volume up to access recovery (the only way to access recovery is by hitting the wipe data button in bootloader).
I can still fastboot flash CWM, but trying to flash TWRP does not work as it finishes but going into recovery causes the tablet to just restart. Trying to flash asus stock as above would always give me an error like the one pictured below. Similar errors occur if trying to flash any rom inside CWM via an external sd card.
I do not have access to adb as i believe i dont have usb debugging enabled since the pacman rom or any other rom did not ever start. It just gives me the device not found error even after manually installing the drivers on two different computers.
Cant seem to get these pics to load, but copying the url and pasting it works.

Whats the "right" rom here? Talking about the original asus stock rom? I have now tried the the pacman nightly, pacman release, slim kat release, clean rom release, an ICS asus stock rom, and two different versions of the jellybean asus stock rom. These were either done in CWM via internal sd card, external sd card, or done through fastboost flash system blob and flash zip.

Hmm, I'd Download a stock Rom for the device offline, take on the sd card and put it on there real quick and try to flash that, if not, you probably bricked your device. I wouldn't know how to fix it beyond that. Ask the dev that made the Rom were everything that went south and an email to cwm wouldn't hurt either
I am also not sure if I need to have my external sd card formatted a certain way or download a specific CWM to allow flashing the stock rom. Ive spent over 10 hours trying to figure this out, very frustrating.
I have run CWM 6.0.4.6, CWM 6.0.4.7, and older versions to see if I could flash the stock rom with no luck. I have also tried different versions of TWRP but they always hang and reboot my tf700. I get errors ranging from status 6, status 7, cannot mount data, cannot mount staging, and cannot mount system. I am completely lost on what I can do. I have even tried a seperate sdcard to see if maybe the one I was originally using was bad with no luck. GG :/

You gotta stop flashing stuff and slow down!
During all of this you never posted your bootloader version, so you may have been on the wrong bootloader to begin with - who knows.
When you hit the Wipe Data in the bootloader menu you caused the BL do write a wipe data command to the misc partition, causing the tablet to boot to recovery each time you booted (I'm guessing here) and then interrupting it. Usually, with CWM installed, it eventually sorts it out and executes the wipe data command, but that takes hours! You just have to leave it alone.
Hard to tell where you are now since you flashed all kinds of stuff since then.
Can you still boot into the bootloader and have a fastboot connection?
What's the BL version number?
If you boot, what does it boot into?
The picture links are broken - at least in Tapatalk. Post them again?

Yes, the pictures are broken. You can still copy paste the url though. Couldnt figure out why it wouldnt work.
The tablet boots into the first screen that states it is unlocked, but does not go any further.
There is no bootloader version on the top left when holding down power + volume down.
I can still get to the place where it allows me to wipe data or fastboot, but the android icon to boot into android is now gone.
adb does not recognize my device even after manually installing the drivers, but fastboot works fine.
Is there any other way to find my bootloader version?

Maybe you want to edit your post with the urls then.... Makes it easier for people trying to help...
You're seriously messed up, I think. I see a USB icon in there which would indicate that your bootloader is ancient. But then it says: "starting USB fastboot protocol".
Is that after you selected the USB icon?
Anyway, I think you're only chance is buster99's method to get it back. Did you try that already?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12
Naturally you have to extract the system blob from the 10.6.1.14.10 US Asus firmware, but then you can try to fastboot flash it with buster's method.
Good luck!

Anyway, I think you're only chance is buster99's method to get it back. Did you try that already?

Naturally you have to extract the system blob from the 10.6.1.14.10 US Asus firmware, but then you can try to fastboot flash it with buster's method.
Good luck!

Its starts the usb fastboot automatically if no input is selected. I had a different bootloader up until i tried that thing that buster did. It always gives me an error like cant write to system or something if i try it.

Which blob did you flash with buster's method?
I'm afraid you flashed something totally incompatible with your tablet...
You did not generate your nvflash blobs sometime prior to this, did you?

I flashed the asus stock rom downloaded from their website. The US version as it was bought in the US (right? 0.o). I hadnt heard of nvflash before trying to install a rom so i did not make a backup.

Are you sure you downloaded the correct firmware? For the TF700?
Do you still have the original zip you extracted the blob from?
Post the exact file name please.

Ive downloaded a lot of different versions from the asus website. The last one came from a forum post listing older firmware, which I have tried a lot of different ones.

You flashed all of those blobs???
In which order?
With what result?
Jeez - I think you're done for...
Sorry mate, but gotta catch some sleep now. Maybe somebody else has a bright idea...

I flashed the newest one first, and it gave me one of those errors that wouldnt allow me to flash it, and i tried the others with the same result. So technically i didnt flash any of them. I have been able to flash some roms, but they wouldnt boot so i would be stuck where i was when i started.

Right stop flashing random stuff - you have combinations of JB4.2.1, JB4.1.1 and ICS 4.0.3 just listed there.
Let me put a call out to @lj50036 who may be able to save you but if you have messed the bootloader up with no nvflash backups you are not going to be happy with the result. If you can still get to the bootloader screen then he can perform miraculous superhero acts and *maybe* save your device.

Hey folks; I'm hoping I can get some advice or pointers, or maybe just a slap upside the head with something I've missed.
I have one of the original Shield tablets, and played around with it quite a lot, installing various custom ROMs from the marvelous directions I've found here. When the battery thing happened, I submitted the required info and happily received my new tablet. The original was rooted and customised still, kill-switch averted, and I had two working tablets. I gave the new stock one to my wife.
But then, about three months ago, I was playing with mine again installing a newer ROM than the one I was using (I *think* I was going from an older Bliss rom to one of the Cyanogen), and ... Something Happened (tm). The tablet rebooted in the middle of everything, and now won't boot to an image.
I'm on Windows 10 now, and had some fun getting the drivers working, but they seem to. I can communicate with the tablet through Fastboot, but ADB doesn't see it. I've flashed several versions of TWRP to the tablet, and can boot into that recovery - both through Fastboot and the tablet's power+vol-dn buttons. I've used TWRP to flash several different ROMs, and it *appears* to work (there are no errors), but when I reboot the tablet .... nada. Nothing but the Nvidia boot screen for days.
So now... what have I missed? I'm a little reluctant to flash a stock ROM, but I'm at a loss. I used to have more time to fiddle and figure, and I'm afraid that my impatience is going to kill the thing.
Format system and data see if that works
You need to have the latest bootloader to run the latest roms.

so you wan t your "burning" tablet set again stock?
Did you read about "recovery images" for shield tablet?
If fastboot is working you can flash the recovery image and all will update to the latest(blob,system,boot, etc)
flash latest twrp for shieldtablet.
after that use the nomoreota.zip to prevent the software brick from nvidida

Also format data system to something other than ext4 then re format it back

No, I don't want it stock at all, I was just worried that was my only option to get this thing to respond again. I was running BlissPop v.somethingorother, but wanted to update. That's when things went awry.
Right, well it looks like I've got this thing going. I could flash TWRP 3.1.0-0, but not any 3.1.1. Cyanogenmod 12 worked. Reading up a little more (it got slow at work for a couple of days...) I flashed the firmware to 5.0, and could now install TWRP 3.1.1-1! Then I could install (in this case) Lineage 14.1, which *almost* worked. It booted, but there's no wifi.
Then I found a suggestion - I think it was on these forums somewhere - and restarted. Wiped all data again, flashed Cyanogenmod 12, no gapps. Restarted, checked everything including wifi, and is good. Rebooted back into recovery, performed a factory reset, then installed Lineage 14.1 and gapps. When it rebooted, everything is working!
So. Firmware. Huh.
Thanks all.

do not know if you need the bootloader(blob) from nougat to boot up, that lafester told you. but that sounds plausible. skooter says something from re-formating. so if you tried that all and nothing changes? cache and data partition you wiped also, so it has to be work for my understanding.
went always stock, so can t help you..
but you can use recovery images > twrp > bliss/linage. no need to boot up stock?
