Can't boot recovery after official 4.1.1 update - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had my tf300t unlocked and running cm9 and wanted to try the official Jelly bean update. I downloaded the update from Asus's website and installed it through cwm. I was then able to boot and run 4.1.1 but decided that I would rather run cm9, it simply felt faster to me. I rebooted and found that cwm was removed, so I booted into fastboot and re-flashed cwm. But now the tablet will no longer boot, it stays at the white asus logo and when I try to boot recovery by holding down power and volume down, nothing happens anymore. There is no way to get to fastboot or adb. How do I get to cwm and reflash cm9 now? Sorry if something has been posted before, I made several searches but found nothing similar.

You need fastboot. Try again. And fastboot the updated recovery for JB

Then reflash the OTA JB. Then camp out on JB until there's new dev for the new JB mods.
There's no current way to go back yet. Hang tight bud.

Thanks, but I cant get the devices to fastboot anymore, when I hold down the volume down and power button nothing at all happens

You need to wait for nvflash.

HELP!!!! Transformer froze in Recovery

I was having an issue with an OC kernel that I installed on my Transformer so I rebooted back into recovery. I sat my tablet down to take a phone call, and came back to the tablet and now its froze. Do I have to actually wait until it dies?
hold power button till it restarts then you shold be able to get into recovery or go into apx mode and nvflash your rom
you have to flash a different kernel from recovery quick before it freezes again, happened to me a few times
Same problem... for resolved that, full wipe with script on Revolution HD post

Try flashing back the ROM related stock Kernel and see what happens (should fix the problem directly)
If not then try to flash back your backup (in case you did that).
If the recovery is completely frozen and you cant flash anything than the only resource is nvflash the rom you want.
For that full wipe is recommended.

stuck on asus boot logo, recovery stuck on booting bootlaoder kernal image

i'm a damn tool and i'm hoping one exists to get my tf300t tablet running again
i had it running beautifully with cm10, then i decided i'm gonna install the touch clockworkmod, but i didn't read the thread properly it was for a stock jb rom, so now when i press the power button, i'm stuck on the asus boot logo with " this device is unlocked" text in the upper left corner, and when i push power + vol down it locks up at " booting bootloader recovery image" , i'm wondering if there is anything i can do to save my tablet or is it bricked and there's absolutely no way of fixing it, thanks for your time

Can't you just install the non jb recovery?

thanks for your reply, i'm not really familiar with twrp, can you go a little more into detail as to how i need to use twrp, do i run it from windows or from the tablet, on my tablet i'm not able to access any type of recovery, it locks up as it's trying to boot bootloader kernel image, thanks so much for your help!

well i just found out by holding vol up and the pinhole reset button then 3 seconds release the reset button while still holding vol up, i can get my computer to detect apx mode
hopefully whith a NVflash version for the tf300t we can recover it

Unable to flash recovery.

Hello. I have ran into a problem and was wondering if anyone knew how to fix it.
I purchased my TF300T a couple days ago and upgraded to 4.2. I unlocked the boot loader and installed cwm recovery. It seemed as if the recovery would not mount or recognize any storage and would not let me install or wipe any thing. I tried to install another recovery through fast boot. It would say successful in my adb command window, but the boot loader would freeze and I would have to force reboot. I tried wiping the recovery, then flashing the new one and still no luck. Now I am stuck with no recovery and unable to flash a new one.
I can still boot up into android.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

You flashed bad recovery! You tried to install CWM for JB 4.1.1, now you can't install recovery for 4.2.1. You must wait for new version of recovery (TWRP is the best!).

Help: stuck in Cyanogen boot loop

Just flashed cyanogenmod rom. went to the boot screen and has been stuck there ever since. restarted it a couple times and nohing changed. cant even go into bootloader for some reason. letting the tablet sit until it runs out of batteries i guess. help please.
You need to get into the boot loader. I would continue to try to access the boot loader via power key and volume down.

it is advised to use TWRP for the tf700, just a fyi, also you must be able to access recovery via the buttons or there is a high risk or bricking your tablet, if it is not already bricked. Make sure when on boot loader you got the latest boot loader and recovery. again, TWRP 2.5 is advised if you have the 4.1.1 boot loader or the 4.2.1 boot loader. CM will work on either boot loader, and TWRP 2.5. CM will NOT work with te 2.4.4 patched TWRP.
I would advise trying Cromi 3.4.7 if you cannot get CM to run correctly, just to at least get the tablet running correctly.

[Q] Stuck on the animated boot screen (spinning wheel)

Hi guys
I recently tried putting a CM10 on my tf700t 4.2.1
I read all the guides, dangers and info I could before starting.
I had numerous issues with adb and all the command prompt programs not recognising my device was connected.
Anyway, I unlocked it using the ASUS tool from their website, that was fine.
I then followed the instructions on getting the recovery image on. I got TWRP on finally.
I then placed the CM zip folder on the storage, booted in recovery and flashed it on.
It installed successfully but now it doesn't get back the boot up screen of the spinning light wheel.
ANy help would be appreciated, I can still boot to the recovery menu, should I wipe it all or?
Thanks in advance!
Sounds as if you may have the wrong bootloader or the wrong bootloader/recovery combination. Check which bootloader is required for CM and what you are running now. Also, versions matter. So check the compatibility of the TWRP version you are running.
Do not wipe anything unless you know what you are doing!
