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?

[Q] flash properly JB ROM after a mistake on my part on ICS

Hi all!! :laugh:
I'm a owner of TF300T, so there is a long time ago, I flashed CM9 (ICS) and when CM10 (JB) arrive I wanted to update the tablet but I didn't know that it was necessary to update to the last stock kernel to get the last JB bootloader, so when I flashed CM10 the tablet stucked on bootloader logo! :crying: After I tried to install different ROM like the last stock ASUS JB ROM or CM9 but nothing changed :crying:
Then I have flashed the JB blob with fastboot, now I can boot on JB but the tablet is very slow and there are bugs often!!
I tried to flash again CM10 but the problem stays :/
I don't know how can I do to install CM10 or an other JB ROM properly !!
Can anyone help me please
II didn't found anything which works fine , I would like to flash just JB bootloader but I have not found :/

I'll provide the links to blobtools and firmware to create your own blobs.
I think you would need to match the bootloader to your kernel which you can find under settings/tablet.
Blobtools Link 1
Blobtools Link 2
Link to Asus kernels if needed.
Good Luck!

Thanks man!!
I will try that tonight =)

Hi!!
I don't try to create my own blobs because I have not had time :/
So If I try to flash stock ASUS ICS ROM, is possible that it works well again?
Can I flash zip file with custom recovery or not? I think not, so How can I do?
If this methode don't works, I will try to create blobs Monday or Tuesday!
Thanks!!

Here is a link to the asus firmware check in the first three posts.
[INDEX][04 Feb 2013]TF300T & TG-INDEX of Roms/Dev Guides/Kernels/Recoveries/etc.
Bookmark the thread as you will find it very useful in the future.
I suggest using JB 10.4.2.9 (located in the third post)(choose the proper sku for your location) to get your problems sorted. Then upgrade to what you wish or flash non stock rom for the JB bootloader.
You will need to unzip twice to get a blob and flash with fastboot. I suggest this version since it was the first JB and set the stage for later updates. For stock rom I use 10.4.2.18 it seems smoother and less issues than the other stock roms. Once you flashed JB you can't flash an ICS rom; it is now JB or a custom rom for JB; no ICS. If you could get ICS to flash now it would brick your tablet. I suggest this method over just flashing the bootloader.
Good Luck!
Note: This will erase your apps and settings which is normal for flashing stock firmware. OTA updates do not clear data but I haven't found one for 10.4.2.9.

Hi !
I have done that and after I have flashed CM10.1 nightly and it works very well!
Thanks everybody

[Q] Temporarily bricked after trying to boot into CWM

I just got my TF700 the other day. I was able to downgrade to .30, root, and unlock the bootloader without incident. I just pushed CWM per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31556045&postcount=1. I tried booting into CWM, got the standard quick vibration but the tablet was dead after that. I messed around for a while and finally after holding the power button several times in a row, it booted as normal. Battery is at 80%
Before I go any further, what just happened? Can I push CWM again the same way to re-install it? How should I proceed?
FWIW, the checksum for download 1 on the page mentioned only matched the checksum for #2. I used #2 because it matched its MD5 as it was listed on the page.

The proper way to do this is to upgrade to the latest stock JB (10.4.4.25), unlock, and you can either fastboot the recovery or unlock it be flashing Superuser. It is not advised to downgrade,even if it seems easier, because if you do it the way I stated, everything will be latest and should not have any problems whatsoever. since you downgraded to ICS, you now have a ICS bootloader. an ICS bootloader will not boot JB, nor vice versa. so now you will need to flash a JB bootloader, which will not boot the stock ICS, so you will now need Cromi, Cyanogen,or another custom rom to get it update with JB. Make sure you have them preinstalled on a SDcard before doing any more flashing.
If I am wrong, hopefully someone will correct me.

The writeups I had seen prior unlocking said to downgrade to .30...so I did. I am still sitting on .30 and am planning on installing CM 10.1 which I have on both the TF700 internal and an external SD card. The only problem is what I mentioned above where my device wouldn't boot into CWM and subsequently locked up for about 15 min. Should I upgrade to JB .25 prior to booting into CWM and installing CM 10.1?

I CM10.1 requires the JB bootloader, If you install CM on the ICS it wont boot. I dont see why the recovery is the problem. I would try updating to JB bootloader, use the zips in Cromi's second post, and then try installing Cromi. Downgrading is only recommended if you want to stay on a locked bootloader. Otherwise, you should flash the root.then install recovery, or simply fastboot it.
In order to install CM you will need to update the bootloader, then once it is updated you will not be able to boot into the ICS rom, so you will have to already have CM10.1, also dont forget google apps, so it can be flash afterwards.
IF CM is installed with the ICS boot loader it will just not boot, it will go into recovery but that is it. I dont see any probability in bricking your device. But I am only a newb, so you may wanna wait for another's input.

Or you could install the 10.4.4.25 stock, then just fastboot a recovery. I mistakenly said root with zip, you cant without custom recovery so scratch that, the only way to install custom recovery via the method I gave is fastboot. Or the way you did so, but that requires more steps and upgrades. Also greater chance of bricking. This is because of the incompatibility of the rom, boot loader, and recovery. If you have latest recovery,I would install the bootloader, then flash CM10.1 + Gapps and should be good to go.

Got it working. Yes, it appears CWM is bootloader specific. I flashed the JB bootloader and was able to get into cwm and install CM10.1 I am not up and running. Thanks!

Just remember for future reference, keep things up to date,or at least compatible with one another or you will run into trouble later.The #1 reason for tf700's bricking software wise is people do not update their bootloader as they update their recovery. Just keep things recent and you should have not a problem.

[Q] Cant install a single custom rom

Ive been at it all day but ive yet to install a single custom rom on my tf300t, all of them get stuck at the Asus boot screen. I started of with a stock ics tf300, i installed nvflash then tried to install Cleanrom (first flashing the posted jellybean bootloader) but it didnt work, stuck at boot screen so i tried installing the latest 4.2.1 stock jellybean which installed fine (im using the latest twrp) which i was over the moon about, but then tried both official and unofficial cm10.1 roms both to the same result, stuck at asus boot screen:crying:
I know i must be doing something wrong here but ive tried so many combinations and guides im all out of ideas. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience.

Do you have a link to the stock 4.1.1?

Put a pin in this thread.
Boot-freezing when coming from 4.2.1 is because the 4.1.1 bootloader is needed and needed to be reflashed before custom ROMs would work. I just spent 6 hours dicking around the answer was right here.

[Q] Reverted to stock

Hi all, I decided I'd return my tf101 to ASUS stock firmware from TeamEos 4.2. So I duly flashed the f/w and all seemed to take OK, until I rebooted, the tf got stuck at the Android is updating stage, I tried reflashing everything but no good. This is not a request for help but more of a WTF. I have it working now thanks to NVFlash but I would like to understand why my first effort didn't work.

What recovery were you using?

What I did was flash the Asus stock *blob* using dd from a terminal running under TeamEos

Well, that is the hard way.
After doing that you would need to take the Asus firmware zip and put it on a microSD and boot to stock recovery and it should install it.
When I flashed back to stock, first time (using Roach2010's 3.X.X.X CWM) I just installed the Asus Firmware zip from CWM. Worked perfectly. Second time, did the same thing using TWRP 2.3.2.3 and once again, worked perfectly.

Interesting thanks

Where can I find a rooted stock rom for the TF101? I want to return to stock and keep root rights.
