Hi,
I was wondering if you just flashed with fastboot the blob file as I am gettin an error and cannot upgrade to JB.
Is this the only way for it though?

Best and thank you very much (using WW version),
Blubberor
P.S.: As CM10 is switched to JB bootloader, I and a lot of others need to upgrade...
look here
I was using CM10 on the ICS bootloader. I downloaded the most recent JB update from Asus to my pc and unzipped once. I copied that zip to my internal memory. Booted into recovery. Using TWRP, I wiped cache, dalvik, system, factory reset. Then installed the Asus zip. Voila, updated to the JB bootloader. I then downloaded twrp 2.3.1 for JB bootloader to my pc and put it with my adb/fastbbot files. Rebooted into fastboot and installed TWRP. Rebooted into recovery, made a backup and installed CM10 10/31/12 nightly for JB.

Maybe I am too stupud but
I have a TF300TG
I ejected my micro sd card so format should not matter.
I still get Error7.
If I edit updater-script it just failes instantly.
I am using TWRP ICS recovery for TF300T but this should not matter as well??
Can someone with a TF300TG can give me a hint how to update?
Best,
Blubberor

already rooted. is there a step by step to downgrade to ics. really miss my flash player. can't get it to work on jb.
There is not a way to downgrade at the moment if you are running the OTA JB.
Btw flash can still work with JB using the stock browser. Here's a copy of the recent flash player if you need it

I would think to truly do this, you would need to flash the bootloader, system, and recovery all at the same time so everything is in sync with ICS, just not worth it.

Well, can't we just download the latest ICS factory image from Asus? Or would the bootloader prevent us from even using the factory ICS image?

When I was locked, I tried to take the zip and put it in internal storage. It installed the downgrade as it called it, but when done, I was still on jb. I would think if you're on jb and force flashed the ICS blob it would possibly brick the device because jb has different permissions and from what I've read a different partition table all together.

I don't believe it has a different partition table but even if it did, asus blobs include the partition table in every update so that wouldn't be an issue, the issue however is that you cannot download the bootloader, the bootloader is now signed seperately to the rest of the update to prevent abuse like what we did with the tf201 to obtain nvflash access. When you unlock the bootloader signature remains enabled while the blob flashing signature check is disabled. This has a side effect of preventing downgrades as the bootloaders pre-JB do not have this same signing mechanism in place.

I actually attempted to downgrade last night. Quite frankly, I think that I came close o a few soft bricks. I tried flashing a custom ICS rom...no go. I tried loading the firmware from the Asus website to the root of the SD card and restart...no go. I tried force flashing the firmware using recovery mode, and it completed "successfully." When I rebooted...no go...and no ROM. This is when I started getting worried, because when I tried to boot into recovery, I received a red error message saying that there was a mismatch. I hard rebooted again, and booted into recovery, and reflashed my JB Rom. I did everything BUT use fastboot to load an ICS recovery image. I didn't want to take that risk.
My suggestion....leave it alone. I am leaving it to the experts. And if you are not an expert, then LEAVE IT TO THEM TOO!

Good suggestion haha - now I have been reading about nvflash being usable for the tf300, but only if you were on the ICS bootloader, wondering if you can do an nvflash type backup - don't know much about it - but after backup, upgrade to jb, then use backup to return to ICS...

I tried every method out there to get back to ICS. So there is no way. Tried fastboot, tried adb, tried wolfs downgrade method, tried restoring a backup with CWM and TWRP and many more. So unfortunately there is no way, but Scotts and Seanz Roms were the best Roms on ICS, so I think I dont have to, cause I have the best Roms to choose.
Only thing missing is NVflash and OC (its been working on )
Have you tried erasing everything

I recently just restored my bricked Tf300 by using these commands from fastboot thanks to user Buster99
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase cache
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system c:\adt-bundle\platform-tools\blob (this is my path - your's may vary depending where you stored your blob)
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
this completely erased my system, fixed my bootloo and brought it back to stock. Can there be a way to erase the bootloader this way???
Link to how i recovered "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45386598#post45386598"
So I own an Asus TF300T and I'm using Jelly Bean [Rooted 4.1.1]
Here are my current problem's.
1) I am unable to get CWM to work on it as it will install correctly through Fastboot but when I reboot into Recovery it will hang t the RCK screen. I don't know how to fix this as I've tried a few different recovery images, all of which were CWM.
2) When transferring via Bluetooth to my Nexus 7 the TF300T will reboot for some reason... same thing happens when I'm sending files from my N7 to the TF300T. Any idea's as to why this would be happening?
3) I am unable to reset my device to stock, has anyone else had this problem?
4) I have minor time's where the device will just reboot because of what I assume to be the processor taking on to much of a load from the Android OS. Is there a fix for this problem?
Any answer's or solution's would be helpful. Every time I find what I think to be a fix doesn't work...
1) What bootloader are you running from? [Edit: Sorry, forgot you mentioned you are on Jelly Bean there -- You will need to make sure the CWM is JB compatible (again look at the link I posted here for the CWM JB Recovery)] If you are on the new JB bootloader you have to have CWM recovery that recognizes this. I don't use CWM on my TF300, but you might try HERE to find info on that. I do know that TWRP version 2.2.1 and higher have a JB bootloader version. You can find it from their site HERE.
2) No clue on the bluetooth. I don't use the bluetooth transfer so I haven't ever tried this out.
3) By "reset device to stock" do you mean the Factory Wipe Data option from the boot menu, or something else? Please explain and I'll do what I can to assist.
4) I've had my device reboot a time or two for no reason, but I don't know enough about debugging things in the software to know what's going on.

Hey nate, thx for the reply, but by "Reset to Stock" I mean ou download the original stock image and re-flash the original firmware...

Being that you are already on the Jelly Bean bootloader, you cannot flash any firmware to working condition that is not a Jelly Bean bootloader. This means that you can only flash 10.4.2.9 or 10.4.2.13 firmware versions. Anything else won't boot on the JB Bootloader. Also, the ZIP file you might download from the ASUS site requires it to be unzipped first. There is another zip file inside of the downloaded file that is used for the actual flashing process.
-Nate
Yup I know that part...
Just confused as to the process of getting it done...
I have some experience in flashing new firmware but with the TF300T I'm so confused xD
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
There isn't anything "rocket-sciencey" to flashing on the TF300. If you have ever done any type of ROM flashing, the returning to Stock is the exact same way, just using the stock firmware file downloaded from ASUS.com. Find the firmware you want to load, download and unzip the file to a YY_epad-X.X.X.X_2012xxxx.zip where the YY is your location code (US more than likely) and the X.X.X.X is the version of the firmware you are loading up. The xxxx should say "user" if memory serves correct. Put it on your MicroSD and flash it like you would any normal custom ROM. Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Flash ROM, Wipe Dalvik, Reboot. I'd be happy to put together a more fluid tutorial on this if needed.
-Nate
I didn't see anything from US so I tried WW.....
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
If you go to asus.com and click on United States, then go to the Tablets and the TF300 download section the only ones available should say US. But I think WW should work, no guarantees though.
I'll try that today thx...
I'll post back later

I have been trying to install CM10 / CM10.1 nightly on my ASUS Transformer TF300T (0b05:4d03). I have TWRP 2.5.0.0 installed. I have CM10 w/ gapps 20121011-signed.zip, CM 10.1.20130417 w/ gapps 20130301-sign.zip, and the JB_kernel_10_4_2_20 w/ gapps 20121212-signed.zip on an external SD card.
I click install and load the two zips into the queue, it runs and exits with successful. When I reboot it loads the ASUS logo with a blue load bar, restarts without the bar and hangs.
I had previously tried to do this CWM 5.5.0.4 and did a backup (which won't reload).
I am currently at a loss at what to try now.

What is your current bootloader or firmware version. Had you updated to android 4.2.1 before flashing recovery and what version of twrp are u using. The more information on how you got to this point the better.
I had updated to 10.6.1.18. But was unable to get CM10/10.1 to install. I rolled back to 10.4.2.20 with TWRP 2.5.0.0 and successfully got CM10.0.0 to install.
I'm not sure why I couldn't get CM10.1 to install, I had TWRP 2.4.4.0-42 on 10.6.1.18, but couldn't get TWRP or CWM (6.0.2.3) to mount the filesystems.

CM10.1 hasn't been updated to the 4.2 bootloader. Now that you're back on the 4.1 bootloader, it should flash fine.
Putting the ILLA in KILLA since 1985
Hello
So i decided that i was going to upgrade my bootloader from 4.1 to 4.2 so i could keep installing CM10.1 nightlies. I downloaded all the necessary files (Stock Asus, twrp2.5-42 and CM10.1 nightly), put them on my SD and rebooted into the bootloader. Here's where i think i screwed things up. While in the bootloader i accidently selected the Wipe Data option. It did completed teh wipe and booted into a fresh Andriod install. So i rebooted back into the bootloader and went into twrp and flashed the stock Asus update. After rebooting into hung (after 30 minutes) at the Asus screen with the spinning circle. I rebooted holding the power button and tried letting it load again and after another 30 min still "loading"
i can still get into the bootloader and twrp (fastbooted that back on) but i can't flash any ROM's successfully
My question is did i screw up the partition table or file system since i have read that this can happen. If so how can i verify this and can i fix it? IS there anyway to recover my tablet or am i going to have to pay Asus to fix it?
Thanks
No, no brick you have to flash stock Asus firmware blob via fastboot then flash latest twrp then flash Asus firmware in twrp

Why do you think it's screwed?
BTW if you used the correct version of twrp (-jb for 4.1 -4.2 for 4.2) it should have wiped them correctly!

Because it says tmpfs...which i think means temp file system
also i didn't do the wipe in twrp i did it in the bootloader
Yes, the bootloader contacts the recovery and the recovery peforms the wipe! If you have an older version of twrp: it doesn't know the partitions so it wipes Them wrong!
Sent from my Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
curious is there anyway to completely wipe everything so I have a clean slate then install latest bootloader and recovery
And then of course rom of my choice I'm assuming this is pretty easy and I have to have all the media on the external SD card or computer?
Sent from my XT897 using xda premium
Why would you want to do that???
If you have the latest bootloader, you are fine.
If you have a working recovery compatible with the bootloader, you're fine.
If you want to flash a new bootloader you need your recovery to do it.
If you do not have a bootloader and no recovery, you have a brick!
Your system partition gets formatted each time you flash a ROM.
To start with a squeaky clean system you format your data partition AFTER making sure that you have a working bootloader/recovery combination and the ROM installed.
