[Q] Stuck with ''fake'' 4.1.1 - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
so yesterday I tryed to get seanzscream tweaked jellybean version ( HYDRO)
But I didnt understood how to do it since it's my very first time doing something on android. So I tryed to follow Krabappel guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845377)
But at step 5 I flash with a jellybean rom instead of ww.9.4.4.3.30 and now im with a ''fake'' 4.1.1 ( by that I mean it tell me I have 4.1.1 but I have almost no jellybean feature ( exept the battery saving thing ))
I tryed to downgrade with ROM manager but I have permission issue, then I tryed to use factory setting but It just bring me back to 4.1.1.
Is there a way I get go from there to seanzscream rom ? or downgrade then continue again ?
thanks!

so you followed this guide to the T. correct
so by that, you have:
unlocked your bootloader.
(Click utilities +, then scroll down to bootloader and download that .apk file, then you simply install it like any other app)
Installed a recovery partition, TWRP (team win recovery) clockworkrecovery has issues with tf300 !!!, so only install TWRP
custom, clean, rom, 100% problem free of issues is, CleanROM 2.1
it will then be rooted and customized
...>
if you cant install recovery, it may be bricked
if you can, fastboot into it, then your good.

it unlocks your bootloader which allows you to install a custom recovery. ex: twrp or cwm. After installing those you are able flash (which means install)
custom roms.

Ok that done,
so If I got that right , I should simply download TWRP ( any particular version ? I found 2.3 ) and download the 2.1 rom from seansrom and that basicly it ? Btw where can I get that rom please

The OP wishes to have the ASUS apps and clean rom removes them that is part of CLEAN.

Perhaps you should do a little more research into flashing custom roms before you do anything in the future. Considering you admit to not knowing what the Asus unlocking app does, maybe it would be best to just stick with stock.

OP, you do have the JB bootloader right? If you do, then it should've flashed without problems.

Everytime you reboot/boot your device, in the top left corner, it will read, "Device is Unlocked"
Advantages:
-installing (by means of fastbooting device) a custom recovery partition, like, TWRP (clickworkrecoveryMod is buggy with this tablet,U.A.Y.O.R)
-create/restore backups
-install/flash mods,upgrades,roms
-clean up, cache,davlik, or fix permissions
-much more.
-Installing a custom ROM, like, CleanROM 2.1/2.5 (links above)
-custom kernels,for faster performance
-clean of bloatware
-access to everything,even, hidden,rooted files/folders

OP says can no longer access this thread. Problems solved!

[Q] thinking of installing a custom rom

i was thinking of unlocking my device and changing the rom.. however, ive permanently bricked this tablet for and had to have it repaired at a high cost, so im cautious.. i believe i fell victim to the having the twrp and resetting via the bootloader problem... how do i avoid this, how do i prevent this from happening again? i cant use nvflash, and is there any way of changing this annoying bootloader?

If using the wrong version of custom recovery vs bootloader can brick your device. The best way to approache this is, first upgrade your device to the latest JB .25, then unlock your device, then use fastboot to push your latest twrp recovery (2.3.3.0), then flash custom rom. Pretty much straiht forward without risk.

do i still need twrp installed or do i use fastboot for that?.. also i had to downgrade to 9.4.5.30 to root it first, should i need some kind of root protection before upgrading back to JB?

You don't need to root if you're unlocked because all custom roms are pre-rooted. Maybe this will be clearer;
Let pretend you're on JB, if you are on ICS, just use OTA upgrade to JB.
1. use Asus unlock tool to unlock (the tool will work with ICS or JB and very safe to use)
2. Use fastboot to push TWRPcustom recovery to your device
3. Boot into TWRP to flash custom rom (now have custom rom and rooted).
Done.

Yes, "fastboot flash recovery ... " installs a recovery.
I rooted mine when I had ICS and used OTA rootkeeper to OTA to JB to keep root. Unlocked it then used Goomananger (required root) app from the market to install TWRP. I like goomanager as you dont need to hook it up to your pc and was pretty easy. If you're already rooted I would go this route to install custom recovery.

I was just as hesitant as you are. Took the leap yesterday and I am VERY happy I did. CROMI turns this baby into a whole new experience!
Just follow the instructions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833212
Read it, follow all the links, read it again and when you feel you really understand the process, follow it step by step.
The whole process turned out to be a breeze - especially compared to the trepidation I had about this

Best rom is CleanRom version 3.2.1.
ok.. well it seems i have twrp installed just fine now, used the fastboot method... im going to try cleanrom a bit, and try out the ubuntu LXDE rom as well, ill try cleanrom first
it looks as if everything was successful, and i made it past the stage that caused a brick before, so i would say im in the clear now, tried clean rom, pretty cool you can choose your stock launcher but i really want to experiment with ubuntu on it as well with a mouse and keyboard, see if i can replace my netbook with this

download Goomanager from the market, launch the app, then tab on the 3 little boxes on top right hand side, then select install recovery script. That's it. You should have TWRP (recommended). BTW, you must be unlocked in order to install any custom recovery or rom/kernel.

Power off your device, hold volume down and power buttons until you see white text on the screen, now release both buttons, then press volume up twice, you should now boot into TWRP. From here tab on "install" then select your rom zip file then swipe to flash.

Are you doing a clean install? cm10 is another animal, I recommend you perform a clean install. Wipe everything, flash the rom first boot up, then boot back into twrp then flash gapps.

[Q] How to reflash android with locked bootloader

I have a me301t, basically the same as a tf300t right? (there is no me301t forum right now). I am on 4.2.1 stock (root), but the Bluetooth isn't working, so I am wanting to reflash the stock firmware. I want to keep a locked bootloader, so I can still have warranty if I please. I've looked up a couple of videos of how to, but I am wondering if root will mess up the flashing process. I've also been wondering if I can keep root after flash with Voodoo root keeper. Any advice?

Dear all users of TF300T.
If you are using Stock ROM (Rooted/Non Rooted) and are bricked or stuck on ASUS boot screen. Then this guide is for you.
As i was using stock ROM (ROOTED) with Locked boot loader without custom recovery and my tf300t was Sofbricked due to wrong configurations at Display Pixel scaling and also reformat did not work for me.!
So i thought to create this guide which may help people out here It worked for me Try your LUCK.
Sorry if i am re posting i did not got any guides out here...
If this helped you please give me a Thumbs up.!
Steps:-
1. Download the latest ROM from ASUS website Which matches your SKU.(Important).
It would look somehing like this (TF300T-TW_epad-10_6_1_15_3-UpdateLauncher . zip)
2. Extract it and rename that file to ( EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip )
3. Now copy this new renamed file to SDCARD (Root of sd card). Put the SDcard into tablet.
4. Now Press and hold Volume Down + Power for a few seconds. Then you will see the ASUS recovery options.
5. 3 icons will appear: RCK, Android, and Wipe Data. The RCK should be flashing green. Press the UP Volume Key Once.
Now wait for a few minutes. It will flash the ROM.
And wola! Your TF300T will again work fine!!

You can't without unlocking. He means a compatible Asus ROM.
The ROM has to be signed by Asus, so that method I quoted will only work for Stock ROMS

Yes, you can... It is a good guide if you can follow it.. You must make sure that you have the latest bootloader and compatible TWRP.. Those are very important so you are not brick your device...

ok so i'm having a bit of trouble following this guide...
1) I installed TWRP (with the help of this page) http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/105 I had to use the Download - Recovery Image / Fastboot Method because the app method wouldn't download the blob file
2) Now, when I power + volume down boot I can see my bootloader isn't the correct version. how can I update the bootloader? I have the files from the original link i posted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481892) so there is the correct bootloader i just don't know how to install it.
is there a more detailed guide with actual step by steps?
Congrats on getting TWRP installed! The rest is easy.
In TWRP select 'Install' and navigate to wherever you have the zip file with the bootloader/TWRP package, select it (if it has xxx signed.zip in the file name you need to check the "verify zip signature" option. sbdags usually signs his zips - don't know if he did with this one).
Swipe the button to flash the file.
When it finished, boot back to system. Do not flash a rom at this point! That would cancel the bootloader flash. Boot back into system first, then back into TWRP and then flash the rom.
BTW - flashing the modified Asus stock rom is perfectly fine, but I wonder why you don't flash CROMi-X 5.2.2?
That rom is from the same developer, based on this stock rom and miles improved since sbdags debloated the stock version.
sbdags stock rom is not really supported whereas he puts out a better version of CROMi-X about every 10 days! It's exhausting to keep up! LOL

You can still flash the BL/TWRP package you downloaded already. It's the same as the one for CROMi-X.

Yes, you can... It is a good guide if you can follow it.. You must make sure that you have the latest bootloader and compatible TWRP.. Those are very important so you are not brick your device... Good luck and ask all the questions that you have before trying to install the TWRP and bootloader...:fingers-crossed:

Congrats on getting TWRP installed! The rest is easy.
In TWRP select 'Install' and navigate to wherever you have the zip file with the bootloader/TWRP package, select it (if it has xxx signed.zip in the file name you need to check the "verify zip signature" option. sbdags usually signs his zips - don't know if he did with this one).

Thanks, Honestly whatever custom rom I have now can randomly reboot and i think is giving me touch screen issues so was just going to hit up a stock install and see if that fixes any problems.
gonna try out the rom you suggested and i can always go back if necessary.
one thing, when i installed theTWRP the blue bar filled up completely and i left it for about 10 minutes and it was still there. so i powered down and everything booted back up correctly (and i can get into the recovery mode).
does everything sound ok to proceed?

You have to kick it out when it is completed by using the fastboot command or just using your power button.. So you are good to go...
You have to try out all the rom and kernels that are available then choose the best one that fit your need...Good luck...

How to get Custom Recovery on rooted G2? [Noob]

So I recently rooted my G2 to remove the bloatware apps and maybe install CM 11. I downloaded ROM Manager and I tried to install the CWM recovery through there but it seems like it's not doing anything. Every time I press "Reboot into Recovery", it restarts into the stock recovery (I'm assuming). And this recovery doesn't have an option to install from .zip, which means I can't install the CWM recovery. It only has install from SD card, which doesn't have anything in it, install from cache and install from adb. I have CM 11 running on my nexus 4 ( I used the installer) and that has a CWM recovery so I know what it looks like.
Am I doing something wrong or missing a step? Is there another way to do it?
Thanks
what firmware does your phone currently have on it? That will determine what method you will need to use to get a recovery.

I attached a screen shot of the software info. I think that's what you mean right?

That was exactly what I needed. The issue with stock KitKat is the bootloader is locked and the way we got around it with JB has been patched. There are some amazing people though that found a way to downgrade the bootloader and kernel to get around this. You can find the very simple and easy to use app over here. I recently used it myself and it literally takes about 30 seconds to do and you will have TWRP 2.7 when its all done
