[Q] Odd ROM problem - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I finally fixed my old issue... (softbrick stuck at boot logo without access to fastboot)
now i have a new one.
Im using TWRP recovery right now, and it seems the only ROM i can install right now is Clean ROM.
I have tried Blackbean, CM10 nightly, and HYDRO.
None boot up.
Is there something that is unique to CleanROM that would let me install it and not others?

You are on JB, so the only Roms you can flash are [email protected], Clean and Hydro JB. Thats it. All other Roms are only flashable with ICS bootloader and you are not able to get back from JB:

Cant flash BAKED TF300T Blackbean rom anymore.

I would like to flash back the BAKED TF300T Blackbean rom. But after flashing sean's JellyBean-Hydro 1.4.6 i cant flash the rom anymore, i get stuck in Asus logo like many others. Im rooted and with unlocked bootloader. Im using TWRP JB version as Recovery now. Tried both CWM's also. CWM touch, wont make any difference. Normal CWM doesnt even work anymore.
I also played around with the fastboot and installed the stock WW30 (un-bootable), still cant flash the Blackbean. Is there currently anyway for me to flash it?
Hope i didnt forgot anything important to tell
Thanks

No, there is no way to flash the older roms after JB update till now. You are stucked with Stock JB or hydro until the devs come out with a solution to downgrade to ICS

Okay, currently im trying to flash any other JB rom to try out, stuck on bootlogo almost everytime. Even the Hydro's re-flash did cause the stuck in logo.
EDIT: Ok, looks like im currently stuck in Asus logo and no system. I hope that the dev's can figure something out.
I was just wondering, aint the Blackbean Jelly Bean rom?
EDIT: Is it the JB bootloader causing that i cant boot into any rom i have flashed?

Bkackbean and other custom jb roms are still using the ics kernel so until it's implemented on cm10 you can't flash after being on hydro or stock jb

[Q] ROM Problem : Stuck on boot logo

This is the story
I first installed Unlocked bootloader from asus, CWM recovery for tf300t, and then i used the update.zip to gain root access
I downloaded the CM nightly build, used CWM to backup, then flashed the CM ROM.
It was stuck on CM boot logo for about 30 min, so i restarted and cleared my cache.
I tried flashing again, and it was still stuck on boot.
I then restored to my backup, and now it is stuck on the original ASUS boot animation.
What do I do?

restore with cwm,ifyou can, to earlier version,working
then remove ClockWorkMod Recovery, by fastbooting TWRP instead...much more reliable (team win recovery)
then to root, theres a theres a batch script tool, that,when tablet is connected to pc, will run and reboot the tablet several times, rooting it.
ill look for the link, its in the forums here, debug,defug..something
there are other methods,that worked the best for me...
CM had been having issues, install CleanROM 2.1 HAS THE JB UPDATE V13 in it. its smooth

I have tried recovering with CWM, and restoring to factory settings.
Both didn't work.

I am having the same issue installing any ASOP roms on my tf300t.
I have the TWRP recovery, gained root by flashing.
I can install ASUS based roms like CleanROM fine, but I cannot flash any ASOP roms like CM10.
Just curious on what is preventing us from doing this. Especially when our devices are supposedly "unlocked" with custom recoveries and root.
If this device still continues to be this locked up, I might just have to sell mine when the GN2 comes out.

First declare your bootloader. Have you ever been on a jb-rom, stock or otherwise?
Looking at git for cm it appears the kernel is 2.6, so I would expect that is not a jb rom.
cwm has some issues on this unit.
get into cwm and use fastboot to flash twrp for the proper bootloader you have.
or get into fastboot by use of power and volume down
at that point you can twrp a rom into place; probably not to restore your backup as twrp and cwm have issues reading each others backups.
Good Luck!
Note: If you can power up and access recovery (cwm in your case) you are not bricked and should be able to recover. I have as well as many others. Take your time and go a step at a time! Make back ups and make sure you have fastboot and adb access to your unit! If you are still ics bootloader consider nvflash once you have this mess sorted.

This is a known problem... once u get the OTA asus jb update, u can no longer flash any aokp or cyanogen jb roms. This is due to the kernel in these roms which are based on ics but since uve installed new ota jb bootloader it will not work and get stuck on boot screen. Restore in recovery will not work either. U need to download latest asus firmware and flash it then fastboot a recovery (i recommend twrp) and reroot.

Ah, ok. I have the JB OTA update so i have the latest bootloader :/
I restored my nandroid of stock and it worked fine.
Just flashed CleanROM which is running great. Cant wait till the CM team gets the JB bootloader worked out as i have always loved being ASOP. Any info on when it might happen?

Can I install CyanogenMod 10 with TWRP?

Hi,
I have currently 4.5 CleanRom, and I used TWRP to install it, but I want Jellybean on my phone, can I just use TWRP to install CyanogenMod 10 with it? or do I need another installer of roms like CWM Recovery?
thanks.

of course you can, but if you're on a newer Hboot, you will need to boot the rom through fast boot with boot.img
but of course.

I already have TWRP installed and I know how to access it on fastboot, the only reason I asked why is because I have seen some rooms not working properly with CWM Recovery, so I didnt know if there was any problem the other way around with roms like Cyanogen.
Thanks!
your good to go with twrp, i recommend updating to twrp 2.3.1.0
Will the CM nightlies flash normally on the old hboot?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
they should but if you have any problems go into bootloader and run this command "fastboot erase cache"
are you using twrp 2.3.1.0?

try this.
1.) Download the 10/27 build
2.) get the boot.img from this build
3.) wipe cach/dalvik and system
4.) install 11/2 nightly
5.) flash the 10/27 boot.img
6.) reboot
This worked for me, something with the 11/2 and 11/1 boot.img was keeping it from booting.
Good luck

I would only recommend TWRP with CM10, or any other ROM.
Problems with CMW are due to the fact that it never officially supported our device, and was just a port. TWRP has no such issues.

Help! Trouble with restoring

Soooo I've been on CM10 for awhile now and haven't had any trouble before. I've been updating from one nightly to the next. But as of recently the team made the next update to a CM10.1 (4.2) nightly. I've tried out CM10.1 and would of kept it as my daily driver if it weren't for the screen tearing and lack of LTE by default (earlier builds). Anyways, long story short I decided to update to the CM10.1 nightly by dirty flashing it and it didn't work. So I tried to restore to the backup I made and it didn't do anything! I just stayed at the CyanogenMod boot up screen. I literally let it sit there for a good 5 minutes and nothing happened. I thought about flashing the boot.img but see my data cable is busted
Can someone throw me some ideas or reasons for why I my restore isn't working? Do I still have to flash the boot.img even though its just a restore? PLEASE HELP!

Depending on your HBoot, yes you will have to flash the boot image for the rom. Even if you back up in TWRP the boot image is lost when you flash over. I found it out the hard way. The best recovery is one with a built in aroma installer that will work with your HBoot. One is a Scott and one is a Nocturnal. I was lucky and recovered Viper XL 3.1.0 on top of 3.2.3 boot image but I would not want to try it again. Unless you have strored the boot image in recovery, find a cable and flash image. Hope this helps.

Can only boot stock rom (bootloader unlocked)

Hello! I was looking for some help with flashing ROMs. I have had my A700 flashed with other ROMs before like CM and IconiaN, but for some reason, now it will only boot the stock ROM. I had CM11 on it and decided to go back to IconiaN. Well, it wouldn't boot. To try and fix this, I went back to full stock ICS with a locked bootloader and stock recovery and started from scratch. I've tried about 4 or 5 times, unlcking the bootloader and flashing CWM, but every time I try to flash anything other than an official update.zip in CWM, it just hangs at the splash screen with the animated Acer logo. I did have TWRP for awhile too, but I had CWM originally and I have it now. Thanks!

Hey guys! Nevermind! I went back to stock again and tried another ROM first before I tried IconiaN, and it booted! So I guess it was just the .zip of IconiaN I have. Weird too because I re-downloaded the .zip. Anyway, I'm good now!
