[fixed] Did I brick it?

Hi there. I was fooling around with my TF300T (I was foolish at some point, probably) and managed to install Jellybean using this method. It started working fine. So it did that I restored my files using Titanium Backup Pro, installed from the App store right after the first boot. The apps/data I restored with Titanium Backup, as far as I can remember, were mostly games and Dolphin stuff, nothing directly related to system, as far as I know.
After this backup restoration, I used the tablet a little more, played the games to check if my progress was not lost and all that. It worked, Angry Birds at least had all the levels I completed before yet marked as completed after restore the procedure.
So far so goo... no! For some reason I can't remember I restarted the tablet, at least I tried! It got stuck on the loading screen (the white Asus, not the shiny one). So, after that I tried to restore it again, and then I probably did something completely stupid and I can't even remember what.
I even tried superwipe on it, but that didn't work neither.
At this point my tablet let me flash recovery image, CWM and TWRP. I can use adb shell with CWM but not with TWRP.
For some reason, I don't know, when I use CWM it doesn't mount /sdcard, TWRP seem to be mounting it, but go figure, I can only access the /sdcard that TWRP mounts using TWRP, if I change the recovery to CWM for some bizarre (or obvious to you guys) reason, I can't mount it.
And no matter what recovery I use, I can't flash any ROM. Both recovery tells me it was flashed, no error message (at least not at the screen) but every time it reboots to finish the installation, I see the Asus logo with a progress bar that goes from 0% to 100% in less then one second, and once it's filled, the tablet reboots itself and show me the regular boot screen with the Asus logo (again, the white one, not the silver-shiny).
So, resuming my problem, I can fastboot and adb shell it (adb only with ClockWorkMod Touch), but flashing doesn't seem to work. And I believe the internal memory/storage structure have been compromised.
How do I fix this?
Here is what I did to fix it

Download a cm9 rom, open the zip file and extract boot.blob . Flash with 'fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash boot boot.blob' then reboot...

Looks like partition sizes chaged with the Asus update. I couldn't flash CM10 or any other rom as well (signature mismatch). If you installed the official 4.1.1 update, you need to manually install it again. Older versions and rollbacks wont work unless you push to some trickery mmcblk0p4, but that's another thread in itself
Download the JB update from Asus's website (if you still have it, that's fine) and extract the blob file. Put the blob file in teh same directory as your fastboot. Boot your TF300 into bootloader and enter:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
It will take a while to install, so be patient. Hope this helps

Doing it now. I'll update as soon as I finish it. Thank you very much for your reply.
UPDATE 1: I can see the shiny-silver ASUS and the progress circles, waiting to see what happen!
UPDATE 2: Setting up Jellybean now (Welcome setup)!
UPDATE 3: Looks like it's working!
Dude, thank you so much! I'll fool around with it. Is there a root method working already? I was wondering if there's a way to restore my backups, at least the ones I made for my gaming progress.

Man you saved my life. Thank you very much!

When i try it i get error: "Failed to process command flash: system error(0xa)"
any help?

Thank you for posting this thread, I wasn't paying attention one day and flashed the wrong version of something and ended up stuck on the white Asus logo. Flashed a ROM's blob via fastboot and was up and running in no time, though it did take 2 attempts, the first time it received the blob but failed to write it.

I recommend you to use the CleanROM 2.5, it's stable and fast! Really fast! Faster then the ASUS Stock ROMs. I'm really enjoying it.

Still can't flash ROMs
Thanks so much for this. It really helped to get me back to where I was. However, I still can't flash any roms besides the stock asus jb. What can i do? I've tried several different ROMs. I still get stuck at the ASUS "The Device is Unlocked" page

For CleanROM he'll need a specific TWRP version. It's better give CleanROM thread a read before install it.

This tablet is such a fiesty little *****... Nowhere near as simple as my GNex to flash things.
I'm having the exact same issue as you did. It just will NOT let me flash the stock JB rom. The tablet tells me Failed to process command flash:systemerror (oxa) and command prompt says
C:\Fastboot>fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
sending 'system' (799748 KB)... OKAY [144.648s]
writing 'system'... FAILED (remote: (InvalidSize))
Please tell me you know what to do... I'm getting desperate. I can't end up with a $500 paperweight...

1. Please, make sure the Tablet is the only one Android device connected to your computer
2. The bootloader is unlocked, right?
3. It's not the matter (almost impossible to be the case), but what are you using as recovery, TWRP or CWM?
4. Are you trying to flash the Official ROM?

Unfortunately you flashed CWM on 4.2.1 and then unfortunately again you issued a wipe.
Fortunately you haven't bricked but you were close.
One of the TF300 gurus may be able to help you recover.

it get worst

[Q] CROMBi-kk flash

Hi!
I hope you can help me.
I obviously did something wrong.
Well I did unlock my tablet and got twrp running, also installed the rom but next after the reboot it just doesn't work and i will get this message (see the picture)
After that i am sent back to the interface of twrp.
I just recogniced I have twrp v.2.6.1.0 running - is that the problem?
Hopefully somebody can help me!

YOU MUST BE ON THE ASUS STOCK JB 4.2.1 BOOTLOADER VERSION 10.6.1.14.x AND TWRP 2.6.3.2+ OR CWM 6.0.4.6+ BEFORE FLASHING THIS ROM.
This is copied directly from the Developers ROM.

You didn't use 'Wipe Data' from the bootloader, did you?
Read the OP for CROMBI-KK, compare it to what you did.
Describe in detail what that was.
"Does not work" is not very helpful...
Check if you can get into fastboot.

Well,
I can go to Twrp recovery and fastboot
I did install the rom with everything present I think.. had to select some things and finish the installing
after that I had to reboot and now i just get the image with the penguins.
Can I somehow go back to the original rom? to restart these things?

If you made a nandroid before flashing this, then yes, you should be able to restore it.
But let's take it from the beginning. Post your bootloader, recovery and rom versions.
As long as you have access to fastboot you can fix this, so don't do anything hasty.
And please be as specific as you can about what you did. We can only help you if we find out where you went wrong.

hm ok I will try
well, I didn't make a nandroid backup - my fault :<
are there specific bootloader? I was on JB 4.2.1
I am now on twrp v2.6.3.2 but I was while I did the flashing on twrp v2.6.1
hm I did flash crombi-kk rom from the OP
maybe I did some wipe before in twrp .. i think it was recommended?
so now I can't do any reflash or anything in twrp - everytime I want to do something there is this error:
E: Unable to open '/cache/recovery/.version'
I also can't get access to my external SD

Check if you can get into fastbot.
Long press Power and Volume Down until you see tiny script.

All right, your bootloader is current.
I would recommend that you flash TWRP 2.7 in fastboot, then boot into it, do a Factory Wipe in TWRP (that can take upwards of 60 minutes) and flash the rom again.

Ok.. I tried but I got the answer
failed (data transfer failure (too many links))
hm I think I've got no connection, right?
well and now I get the message:
FAILED ( command write failed( invalid argument))

Alright, everything good so far.
Now download the TWRP 2.7 blob for the tf700 and put it into the same folder as your fastboot.exe.
Then issue this command:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
if that is successful
Code:
fastboot reboot
Then boot into TWRP via the fastboot menu.
Then you can factory wipe and flash the rom

is it possible to formate my complete data, because I think therein lies the problem, exept fastboot on my device and flash a recovery from fastboot?

If you want to try that, go to the Wipe menu in TWRP, then to Advanced and choose "format data".
In TWRP this can take 90 minutes! D not interrupt it and make sure the tablet is charged or connected to power.
But this will erase your entire data.
The recovery has it's own partition which you can erase in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
.
Then flash the new recovery. You could also try TWRP 2.6.3.2 if 2.7 doesn't work.

Your posted image indicates that simulation mode is active in TWRP - turn if off in TWRP settings.
To format data, it's approximately this: Wipe -> Advanced -> Format -> Data -> confirm
Note that it takes up to 2 hours to format and trim the eMMC.

between these two the tablet is rebooting itself constantly

Go back to recovery and do a wipe only Calvin cache and Cache.

I don't know why you have that error...
Do you have fastboot access to the tablet?
If yes, you can either flash a different recovery like TWRP 2.8.1.0 (don't use 2.8.3.0, I suspect it has a bug) and try the same again, or, if you are comfortable with fastboot you can flash the blob in fastboot:
Unzip the ...user.zip one more time. Inside is a file called "blob".
Copy blob to your fastboot folder
Check connection to tablet with
Code:
fastboot devices
Then run the following commands one after the other, waiting for each to finish
Code:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase cache
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
fastboot reboot
Good luck!
