Hi!
I rooted my Nexus few months back from now with Fastboot recovery. I got my Android ICS update 4.0.4 last week, I tried downloading it, I downloaded it, then it said rebooting for install. But my Nexus S freezes at Google logo with my unlocked lock sign. I have tried installing it many times, but all in vein.
Please somebody help!

If you're rooted, why dont you just use the rooted method to install the update. Someone made the update flashable. Its in the development section.
either way, pull the battery to see if you still have your recovery(volume up and power button)... if so, then restore to your latest restored point, hoping that you did make a backup
Then download the newest ICS update and just flash it the rooted way.
But if you insist on the official, unroot and then get the update via stock recovery method
good luck
Are you using the latest version of CWM?
If you've got a modified system image (including root), you should not use official upgrade packages. If you want to update the rooted system, you can use unofficial packages (in CWM). To boot a system, please start your recovery and flash a proper (4.0.4, unrooted or rooted, signed or unsigned) system image. If you erase the data partition all of your data is lost!
If you have stock recovery, then only signed images can be flashed. To be able to flash unsigned images you'll need CWM, which can be flashed through fastboot.
By the way official firmware can be downloaded from Google. Important! All of your data (including USB storage area) will be lost after the full upgrade with fastboot!
Hello forum,
Device: tf300t Jb 4.2.2
I was trying new roms ( cm10.1 from surdu's, aokp r06a, franco kernel, CROMi-Xenogenesis DEODEX and others) and some of them work and others didn't really worked.
During the installations I used CWMR v6.0.1.3 and used all the standart procs like format wipe cache/dalvik etc.
Since I wasn't able to overclock with the roms that worked on my tf300t, I decided to install my initial functional rom cm10.1 > with perf kernel.
This time when I turn on the device it wont get past the initial bootscreen (black screen/white asus logo). It just loops and loops in an eternal cicle rebooting constantly.
I'm not sure if the tablet is bricked or not so I don't really know what procedure should I use to fix it... Could use some help please.
I don't really understand why some roms didn't work in the first place, I used the same procedure installing other roms and they worked fine....
They were compatible with device and jb 4.2.2 as far as I understand... I don't know what I'm missing.
Thank for your time and attention.
The best regards,
Absinto10

The bootloader you show above is not a JB 4.2 bootloader but the very 1st asus JB 4.1 - 10.4.2.9 bootloader/firmware
You will need to upgrade your bootloader depending on which roms you would like to flash, some roms are 4.1 compliant and other are 4.2 compliant so read the rom op for info on which bootloader you need for that rom.
Have a look at my how-to in sig below for info on how to upgrade your bootloader and which recovery is safe to flash for each bootloader.
Let me know if you need any help with any steps or info.

Thank you so much. I read your how-to tutorial and I think I already understand the process. I was a little bit confused because when I first flashed my tablet I didn't have enough experience with some android slag and definitions and I forgot which bootloader I was using.
Yesterday I couldn't install nothing via fastboot protocol but when the battery died and after charging it I was able to install other firmware(oficial) via fastboot. With the frustration, I installed WW_epaduser_10_4_2_20_UpdateLauncher, then with no success booting this I installed WW_epaduser_10_4_2_9_UpdateLauncher again.
When I read your tutorial I was very optimistic and things started to make sense... but when I tried to apply it, I couldn't install nothing via fastboot again (no blue bar) --". On the terminal it only says after clicking enter: "sending 'recovery' (7766 KB) or "erasing blah blah transfering files"..." And nothing happens...
Is it fast boot bricked? I don't understand why, there's no reason for that i guess!! Well I'll wait 'till the battery dies again and attempt to apply you tutorial once more.
Meanwhile reply please and thank you very much for the assistence

Hello my friend once more
So forget the last posts I figured out the problem... So I was fastboot bricked and the only way I found to fix this was it in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236885.
So I used he's bootloader.bin so I could "unbrick" my tablet and the fastboot commands. Afterwards I followed your tutorial always using "WW_epad-user-10.4.2.20" (stock firmware) and "openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-JB.blob" and everything worked fine. Installed the firmware, twrp, wipe cache/dalvik etc and flashed zip from external sd card. When I rebooted the blue bar and "signature matched" appeard on the screen and loaded just fine, but when it reboots again, the bootloop starts :'(.
This time when I entered again on the bootloader, Twrp was erased of my tablet...
Installed trwp again and on my bootloader I have this current information: Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "WW_epad-10.4.2.20-20121228" A03. Fastboot commands work fine so, as far as I understand, there's still hope for poor tf300t x).
I think the problem is the bootlader.bin version but idk. Please help I'm really getting frustrated with this. I'll wait for your reply because I don't want to cause anymore damage to the device :/. Thank you
Ok from what I understand the fastboot flash brick is caused by flashing a non-4.2 version of twrp or any version of cwm on a 4.2 bootloader, but as this was not the case for you I'm not sure of why you were unable to flash via fastboot until the tab had been drained and then recharged. Sounds like similar symptoms to the fastboot flash brick but I don't think people with the fastboot flash brick are able to flash at all even after the tab has drained and been recharged.
I have not heard of anyone with the fastboot flash brick (caused by above situation) unbricking there tab with the fix you tried in the above post.
However you seem to be in a different situation - the fix you tried in your post above, I believe will flash the bootloader bin file from the fisrt ICS firmware 9.4.3.29 which I thought could not be done if you have already upgraded to a JB bootloader.
When you first flashed the bootloader.bin did you happen to take note if your bootloader had changed to 9.4.3.29?
The reason I ask this is that I have tried before to downgrade from JB to an ICS bootloader and had no luck here, I would always get a "signature mismatch" trying to go from JB to ICS - but you appear to be getting this when flashing a JB bootloader. So now thinking this may be the first breakthrough in a way to downgrade from JB to ICS.
Your device is showing that you are now on the last JB 4.1 bootloader (10.4.2.20), so first I would try and flash the system blob for 10.4.2.20 again and see if that fixes the "signature mismatch" issue.
If not I have a thoery that may or maynot work, as you are getting this "signature mismatch" issue (after flashing the bootloader.bin for ICS) when you flash a JB bootloader. You could try (at your own risk) again flashing the ICS bootloader.bin from your above post, then reboot to bootloader and check what bootloader version you then have. If your bootloader is now saying 9.4.3.29 you could then try flashing the system blob from firmware 9.4.3.29 and see if the signature mismatch issue is fixed. If so you should then be able to flash a system blob from a JB firmware.
Not sure if the above will work but try flash the JB system blob from 10.4.2.20 first and if that does not work it's up to you if you would like to try the second.
If you need a step-by-step on how to do any of this or are unsure of anything above just let me know.

Hello once more
I just want to clarify two thing first.First, I was a little bit confused on the first reply I did. I was able to use the fastboot commands again because I used the bootloader.bin file not because the device uncharged ok? xD I made some confusion on that issue. Secondly, yes I bealive I flashed a rom only prepared for a 4.2 bootloader when I had the first jb bootlader installed (4.1 I believe). And thats what bricked my tablet.
I'm so sorry if I confused you, like I said earlier, I didn't use to understand a lot of android slag and definitions so I screwed up.
Yes I bealive it's a ICS bootloader. I'll do the proc once more and check the information on the bootloader screen and I'll let you know right away.

I fastboot installed the bootloader.bin but I still have the following information on my bootloader: Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "WW_epad-10.4.2.20-20121228" A03.
Should I proced and install a ICS firmware like WW_epaduser9_4_3_30UpdateLauncher, TWRP for ICS and then flash the WW_epaduser9_4_3_30UpdateLauncher.zip from my ext-sd card?

No if the bootloader is showing 10.4.2.20 then the bootloader.bin did not flash to the tab.
Did you try flash the system blob from 10.4.2.20 again?
If yes and it did not fix the mismatch issue and bootloop then maybe you could try flashing system blob from a 4.2 firmware like 10.6.1.15.3 and see if that works

Thank you so much my friend, we've done it, she liveeeeeeesss!!
Flashing system blob from 10.4.2.20 wasn't working. Even though, signatures were matching the bootloop started again.
So I decided following your second advice flashing system blob from a 4.2 firmware, but insted using 10.6.1.15.3, I used "TF300T-WW_epad-user-10_6_1_8UpdateLauncher". Then installed Twrp (openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob) and did the following steps of your tutorial (wipe/flash rom) and voila, it booted .
So let me see if I got this straight, currently I have 10_6_1_8 bootloader and 4.2.1 android right? So I can flash this rom for example:
[ROM]★●[TF300T/G/201/301][CROMi-Xenogenesis 4.6.6][ODEX/DEODEX 10.6.1.15.3]

Yes with your current setup (4.2 bootloader & 4.2 twrp) you can flash CROMi-X 4.6.6
All the forums that I could find are talking about updating from a stock rom to the ODEX rom. I am wondering if i need to update my bootloader if i am upgrading to the asus rom.
I have TWRP 2.4.1.0 and i am on the ASUS stock ics update 30. I have downloaded the ASUS stock firmware V10.6.1.14.8 which stores the 4.2.1 rom. If i do a wipe on everything from TWRP then mount and install the rom from an external sd card, will I brick my device without doing the same bootloader update that is done for the ODEX rom. Correct me if I am wrong but I believe that the firmware package comes with the bootloader needed for the rom.

Before you update to the latest firmware, I would recommend that you use NVFlash as a backup for recovering if you brick your device. You can find the information here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901479
If you update the latest Asus firmware, V10.6.1.14.8, it will also update your bootloader with the latest version. Good luck.
Thank you for the idea of NVFlash but unfortunately I have one too many updates to utilize that wonderful software. If I was able to use it, then I would have dove in head first and then informed the populace of my findings. So lets see if I give my self a ~$450 paper weight.

You are correct. The Asus firmware has the correct bootloader, recovery and rom. If you flash it from TWRP it will install the stock recovery. So you loose TWRP and root too. You're basically back to a stock system, except you're unlocked.

When I went to flash the firmware from twrp it kept failing. (and i accidentally wiped the os from the device) So I flashed ics back onto it and then tried upgrading again from the stock recovery, but i kept getting the dead android. I also got the device to recognize that there was an update zip on the device so that it would send it into an updating state by itself, but that also produced the android with the caution sign.
Any ideas?

There are a lot things that could be wrong. However, most likely are: 1. A wrong signed firmware, for example you have a US bootloader but you try to update with WW firmware. 2. You have a currupted zip file. 3. You forgot to unzip it once because there is a zip inside the other zip file. If non of the above are applied to you, you could try this.
1. Copy a second zip file to your Root directory on your Internal SD
2. Reboot your device
3. After rebooted, you should see the notification on your lower right corner with the new update
4. Just click on the updated notification and follow the instructions as it walk you through the updated precesses.
Please report back. If it does not work, you need to rename your second zip file and use the stock recovery to update the firmware. There is a link some where on this website will walk you through the processes. Good luck.

I second LetMeKnow.
Download the firmware again unzip it once and put it into the root of your microSD card. The card should be formatted as FAT32.
If the recovery does not automatically recognize it, rename the file to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip.
As far as I can see you are on the .30 ICS so nvflash won't work for you.
Hello, I would like to know if its possible to take the stock recovery.img from my current ROM which is German Stock 4.4.2 and back it up for later use.
I want to do this because i want to root my device and then return back to stock recovery. I have already tried something, btw my bootloader is unlocked.
I installed thr official german 4.3, sideloaded the official german 4.4.2 and used cwm and rooted but then i looked in both zips of the stock roms and there was recovery.img only in thr 4.3 one so after rooting i flashed recovery.img which screwed everything, because another small official ota update, only 1.9mb which was already on 4.4.2 with 4.3 recovery and the phone booted normally and wanted to update that small ota update and after 1 min the phone restarted but it wouldnt go to the recovery and install the update it wpuld reboot over and over again
My question is how can i back up the stock 4.4.2 recovery.img for later use, thanks in advance for amy helpful posts

Hi,
I think the easiest way would be to check your ROM version and download the complete firmware from somewhere like FileFactory and that package should include the stock recovery which can be easily flashed back after you are done with the root.
Hi,
I used this tutorial to restore stock version from Cyanogenmod mod.
In this tutorial it's said "You will be unrooted after this procedure" - it is still unrooted, but room is new!?

Is there anything else I should downgrade / upgrade so I get original version. Right now I still see that my device is rooted. Also I still have some problems when I boot my device like before.?
Try manually flashing each partition, including userdata.img file, and factory wrote before booting the ROM for the first time.
After a proper flash, root should be gone.
Just do flash-all using a factory image from Google.
