OK so I download the unlock app from ASUS. I download the fastboot and recovery files. Everything goes excellent and is running fine. This morning I download cm9 stable from the goomanager app along with the gapp.
Upon flashing it, it freezes on the ASUS boot screen. I get it restarted into cwm try one back up and it says error during backup of the data, try my second backup and it works. But now my wifi isn't even turning on. What is going on here?

try wiping cache, dalvik, then factory reset and wipe system, then reflash the entire rom, boot into the rom, once its booted, reboot back into recovery, flash gapps, reboot and see if that works. not sure if this will fix your wifi issue, but sometimes i flash a rom, and it just flashes funny, so i do the above and everything works perfect after. You can also try redownloading the rom just to ensure it wasn't a bad download, i have had that happen too.

Oh man you don't even the hell I've been in for the last few hours. I tried everything you suggested. It wasn't till I found the sticky thread for all kernels/rom's / everything. I downloaded the latest stock Rom (not jelly bean) and everything is back to normal.

i know the feeling i soft bricked my tab the other day messing around, and couldnt get adb and fastboot to work right in cmd prompt kept getting errors. i ended up using qtADB and flashed the new TWRP Recovery that allows external sd card, and re-flashed my rom that way... lol

Got any ideas where to find the official jelly bean from ASUS. I've tried there website and it isn't there. I'm starting to regret unlocking the bootloader. I haven't had a single ROM flash correctly and now I can't receive the OTA.

I don't have enough posts here to be allowed to post this in the development forum, so I figured this might be a place to ask about my issue.
I have a MZ602 (4G) and was coming from rooted ICS 4.0.4. I used TWRP and wiped cache, dalvik and system. I flashed the latest nightly (120) and GAPPs (O8120802-eos-signed.zip). When I rebooted, all looked okay except, I could not unlock. Camera works, Google works (it loads. I am obviously not online ). I double checked the MD5s and they were correct. Same problem when I flashed with the 119 nightly.
Any ideas?
Wipe data.

My entire experience with fastboot was unlocking the bootloader on my Xoom. So I don't speak much fastboot. What are the commands I would need to do a wipe using fastboot and would it hamper my ability to restore my nandroids?
Thanks
I have the same problem and have tried the same things you have with no success.

Out of curiosity which recovery did you use to flash? I was using TWRP.
Another poster in the Developer Forum, happysteve11c , has this result too. So, perhaps we all did something similar. I was wearing my lucky shirt and waited until mercury was in retrograde before trying to flash, so it should have worked.
already rooted. is there a step by step to downgrade to ics. really miss my flash player. can't get it to work on jb.
There is not a way to downgrade at the moment if you are running the OTA JB.
Btw flash can still work with JB using the stock browser. Here's a copy of the recent flash player if you need it

I would think to truly do this, you would need to flash the bootloader, system, and recovery all at the same time so everything is in sync with ICS, just not worth it.

Well, can't we just download the latest ICS factory image from Asus? Or would the bootloader prevent us from even using the factory ICS image?

When I was locked, I tried to take the zip and put it in internal storage. It installed the downgrade as it called it, but when done, I was still on jb. I would think if you're on jb and force flashed the ICS blob it would possibly brick the device because jb has different permissions and from what I've read a different partition table all together.

I don't believe it has a different partition table but even if it did, asus blobs include the partition table in every update so that wouldn't be an issue, the issue however is that you cannot download the bootloader, the bootloader is now signed seperately to the rest of the update to prevent abuse like what we did with the tf201 to obtain nvflash access. When you unlock the bootloader signature remains enabled while the blob flashing signature check is disabled. This has a side effect of preventing downgrades as the bootloaders pre-JB do not have this same signing mechanism in place.

I actually attempted to downgrade last night. Quite frankly, I think that I came close o a few soft bricks. I tried flashing a custom ICS rom...no go. I tried loading the firmware from the Asus website to the root of the SD card and restart...no go. I tried force flashing the firmware using recovery mode, and it completed "successfully." When I rebooted...no go...and no ROM. This is when I started getting worried, because when I tried to boot into recovery, I received a red error message saying that there was a mismatch. I hard rebooted again, and booted into recovery, and reflashed my JB Rom. I did everything BUT use fastboot to load an ICS recovery image. I didn't want to take that risk.
My suggestion....leave it alone. I am leaving it to the experts. And if you are not an expert, then LEAVE IT TO THEM TOO!

Good suggestion haha - now I have been reading about nvflash being usable for the tf300, but only if you were on the ICS bootloader, wondering if you can do an nvflash type backup - don't know much about it - but after backup, upgrade to jb, then use backup to return to ICS...

I tried every method out there to get back to ICS. So there is no way. Tried fastboot, tried adb, tried wolfs downgrade method, tried restoring a backup with CWM and TWRP and many more. So unfortunately there is no way, but Scotts and Seanz Roms were the best Roms on ICS, so I think I dont have to, cause I have the best Roms to choose.
Only thing missing is NVflash and OC (its been working on )
Have you tried erasing everything

I recently just restored my bricked Tf300 by using these commands from fastboot thanks to user Buster99
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase cache
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system c:\adt-bundle\platform-tools\blob (this is my path - your's may vary depending where you stored your blob)
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
this completely erased my system, fixed my bootloo and brought it back to stock. Can there be a way to erase the bootloader this way???

Hello.
A was installed a recovery on my tablet ( CWM ) and rooted.
Then i wipe all ( data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache ) and the i was install cm10.1
Now my tablet are stuck on asus logo and i cannot do anything.
My firmware is 10.4.2.18 ( i was updated then a was rooted my tablet )
What can i do?
Sorry my english.
Thank you.
Please someone.
Nobody?
My tablet is on from yesterday because if i turn off she turn on
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
READ COMPLETELY BEFORE ATTEMPTING!
While the tablet is on, hold power down until it turns off. As soon as it turns off press volume down while still holding the power button. That will enable you to choose to go back into your recovery or fastboot. Recovery will be the icon labeled RCK and fast boot will be the USB icon.
You could also choose to just enter RCK (recovery) and try to do a factory reset, try to flash the ROM again or flash another ROM from your SD card.
If you are positive you have choosen and flashed the correct ROM the first time, did you remember to do a factory reset, clear cache and dalvik before flashing the ROM? That could very well be the reason you are in a boot loop.
If you are using CWM as your recovery and cannot use it to flash a new ROM from your SD card, you may need to flash TWRP using fast boot in order to flash a different ROM from your SD card.
There is a TWRP thread in the development section. Download the TWRP recovery blob and flash it using fast boot.
You also have another option. You can choose to flash back to stock using fastboot. Here is a great tutorial that will guide you step by step on how to do it. If you are unsure of what to do and want a quick fix, use this. Make sure to thank him for the great tutorial after you finish if you decide to go this route.

Hello.
Yes, i was sellected factory reset first ( wipe data / factory reset ).
I have jellybro and cm10.1 on my sdcard. I wipped all more times and try to install roms, but the result was same.
In this case, shoud it by solve it in the same way?
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
I had this problem with mine when I was flashing it, but I was still on the ICS firmware when I tried to flash CM10, that's what caused the problem since the boot partition gets resized in the stock JB update.
Are you sure you were on a 4.1 OTA stock update before you tried this? Have you tried wiping data/system/cache and re-flashing the ROM again?
I ran a backup of my stock rom before flashing CM10, so when it wouldn't boot after the initial flash, I restored, and it was then stuck at the ASUS screen saying 'unlocked device' what I had to do to mine was extract boot.blob from cm9.1, boot the tablet into fastboot, and then run fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash boot boot.blob that got me booted back into a live tablet. I then took the JB OTA, and started over, flashing recovery, root, doing another backup, and then wiping and flashing CM10, which worked perfectly.
HOWEVER. If you're 100% certain you were on JB already, this may not be the case.
Yes. I was on jb 4.1.1, kernel 3.1 ( i,m not sure, but this i remember ) and, for sure, firmware 10.4.2.18

I would use the link I posted above. It will at least get you back to stock. It's a very easy tutorial to follow. Once you get the tablet where it will boot, then you can decide on another ROM.

I was running CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.something. I had just rebooted the tablet, battery was around 95%. I launched an app while reboot was still going on, as evidenced by the toasts that came up regarding superuser permissions.
And then it happened. The display went blank. I still had sound. Hardware buttons did nothing until I held the power button down. Device went into reboot and stalled at the bootanimation. More than 5 minutes went by so I rebooted into recovery.
While in recovery, I poked around for a backup to revert to. I have misplaced my recovery SD card...but no big deal. I was considering updating to CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.7. I downloaded that from the interwebs, copied it to an SD, then booted the device into recovery and flashed it. The flashing process had no issues and I rebooted the device.
Now the device is still doing the same thing. Still stuck at the bootanimation. Been another 5 minutes on this one too.
I compel thee to opine.

Sounds like something got corrupted. Might be worth doing a factory reset and reflash the rom to see if it boots?

Been a while since I've done anything with the TF700 anyway, barely even used it last month.
If I can't do it all from flashing from recovery, I need to do more thinking and reading before I do anything else.

Oh I actually didnt see The bootloader package on the Cromi-x thread, that should work fine. I tried this method long ago, but my bootloader package didn't have a custom recovery included so i still needed to use a pc to fastboot one on. The cromi one should be fine
Yes I prepared the recovery and bootloader as one so as long as you have any custom recovery installed you can use my package to get to the right supported versions. Twrp 2.6 still has issues hence why I haven't upgraded yet.
I have done all the flashing. All is good. I am happy with the update but I need to thin out my apps. I am curious why there isn't an advanced power menu (shutdown, reboot, recovery, hot boot).

I've never had this issue. What I've done/used to flash all 4.3 roms was use the super wipe tool found in the general section(the one that wipes data, system and caches only) and then run it once and flash Rom+ gapps as instructed. I use twrp as well. Also, perhaps it's a stock 4.3 kernel and maybe flash a kernel straight after you flash the rom and gapps. Rom> gapps>kernel . Hope it helps

Full wipe (I wipe everything 3 times, but I'm sure that's overkill)
Flash rom
Flash gapps
Reboot
If it gets stuck on any screen wipe the cache and dalvik cache
Reboot
The other method I've only used with Dirty Unicorns
Full wipe
Flash rom
Reboot
Once the rom reboots, reboot back into recovery
Flash gapps
Reboot
Wait 10 minutes
You can either reboot again or just use as is
But if nothing is working you can odin back to stock
Then use this tool to root, unlock the bootloader, and flash the custom recovery of your choice http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332825 (it even works on a mac)
(This is what I always use to root, unlock the bootloader, and flash recovery whenever I have to flash back to stock)
After I do that I always reboot and use Rom Manager to flash the latest recovery before flashing anything else.
These 2 roms have been 100% stable for me

It seems that most ROMs will boot up fine with the latest TWRP recovery. But there are a few that will only boot up with CWM. So download both recoveries and flash them using ez recovery when one of them isn't working.
So, I usually stick with TWRP 2.6 as my default. The great thing about ez is that it includes cwm in it. First off I'd make sure you're running the latest recovery available. Then if that doesn't work restore your backup, hopefully you made one, and flash cwm and try reflashing the ROM. Assuming you're wiping everything at least 3 times and flashing the correct ROM with the correct gapps, there's no reason why it shouldn't work. And another thing. It's never a good idea to restore data from any app, ever. Trust me, I know.
