I somehow have locked myself out but still have access to CWM and FASTBOOT. So, how do I use FASTBOOT to install a rom? Is it even possible? I just flashed CWM again, but still cannot get my CWM Backup copy to work.
up.
My friend has same issue, change build.prop.. no backup, no adb, only fastboot with cwm. Any ideas? Ext SD don't work in CWM\TWRP.
upd: Answer myself - Plug into usb in recovery, update driver in device manager to ADB Device, use adb

No, just the regular zip, you could also try reflashing the recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img).

The command you can used to flash a zipped ROM like the stock one from Asus is...
Fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash system yourrom.zip
I usually flash these using twrp recovery but I think that will do it.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using xda app-developers app
Maybe I just can't follow instructions or anythng, but I attempted my first ROM flash and it didn't work.
I tried the Blackbean 5 ROM, with TWRP. I found a set of instructions saying how to flash with TWRP, so I followed them, and I think I've soft-bricked my TF300T. Just stays on the Asus logo, and in top left it says "The Device is UnLocked."
I DID make a recovery in TWRP, and I attempted to flash that back with no luck.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, so can someone help me out here?

I tried this with the stock ROM, from their website, and it didn't help...
So I'm not sure what my problem is now.
Then again, when it comes to ROMs, I'm a noob.
EDIT: I still have TWRP, my recovery, and the Blackbean ROM .zip on the device.

Background first when stock were you JB or ICS? Blackbean OP does not specify. At the moment I'm to lazy to read through thread or flash to find the answer. If you were on stock JB you can only use JB roms, if you were on ICS you can only use JB after stock upgrade to JB.
Forget Blackbean for now and let's concentrate on getting you fully functional on stock again. If you were on ICS then download stock 9.4.3.30 and unzip once that leaves you with a zip. Place that zip on your ( /sdcard ) or external sdcard ( /Removable/MicroSD ) and flash with Twrp. If you were JB then the instructions are the same except use stock 10.4.2.13.
If you do this you will loose your recovery ( Twrp ) but you should have a functional unit.
Non stock rom install.
Be sure you use proper rom for your bootloader ( ICS or JB ). Choose one that gives you instructions as to what to wipe, etc. You can adlib after you get your feet wet. If the op gives instructions use them if not then you may or may not have a happy ending with generic instructions.:good:
If you need anything explained let me know and I'll step by step for what you don't understand.
The reply you tried to follow said "I think", you should have investigated before following. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that was incorrect but the poster was in doubt and you should be also.
When we say "I think" we kind of assume you are going to do some reading and be comfortable with everything before you continue.
I took a little time to look over Blackbean and as I suspected it is for the ICS bootloader not JB.
same problem
I am having the exact same problem. I did manage to install the clean rom 2.5 custom rom successfully originally, and i made a backup through CWM, but I cant install any other rom on there for some reason. Yesterday I managed to go back to stock Asus jellybean rom successfully, and then had to root it and install CWM again successfully. I have again tried again today to install that EuroSkank rom, but alas, I get stuck at the ASUS boot logo permanently and nothing happens?
What might I be doing wrong??
I am on Jellybean. Thankfully the CWM is working fine and I could also restore my cleanrom2.5 backup.

( EuroSkank ) is also an ICS rom not JB - Clean rom 2.5 is JB. For now unless you have NVFlash you can't go back to ICS from JB and you can't run ICS rom with JB bootloader. (I'm using ICS and JB here to declare the bootloader )
Ok, Thank you very much.

any1 with Partition not found problem, open zip and look at the folders, delete everything except folder you want (which is propably system) then write
fastboot flash system yourzip.zip
if this doesn't work for you then extract files from the folder and repack only files from the system folder and use the command above.
It doesn't work for me (dunno why) but it's something
I unlocked the bootloader. Roms like Synergy, Bean, etc no longer boot (stuck on samusg scrreeen)
Any idea?\

What methode did you use to unlock it? I'm running the stock no nonsense rom and I belive unlocked with no problems
Do other roms boot? Will the newest CM10 nightly boot? Will anything boot?
Did you flash a different recovery? If you were using kexec roms before (beans is one, so is synergy with imo's kernel) and then flashed a non-kexec-supporting recovery, that'd explain not being able to boot. If you're unlocked, you don't have to flash a new recovery.
If you did the unlock correctly, you should be able to boot whatever you were able to before. If you can't get anything at all to boot, it's possible you flashed a bad aboot image.

CM10 ROMs boot.
I think it's because I used CWM 5.x rather than 6.x. Phone isn't recongized by PC, no idea why. Any idae how to get 6.x using the terminal app in CM10 and wifi?

Yep, that's exactly the problem. You installed a non-kexec recovery and your roms still use kexec.
You're sure you selected the right options in EZ recovery? Open it, scroll to the recovery pane, select the "recovery" radio button, change the drop down menu next to it to CWM 6.0.1.0, click the "Flash!" button. That should let you install whatever roms or kernels you like.

Being unlocked shouldn't have any impact on being able to flash using ez-recovery. One thing you can try is use EZ-Recovery to flash stock recovery, odin back to the stock verizon image which should relock the bootloader and start all over.

Why do you need to flash stock recovery to use Odin to flash stock Verizon rom? Odin has nothing to do with what recovery you have installed. I flashed stock unrooted rom while rooted and having CWM recovery, it worked just fine. Once you flash stock rom, it restores the stock recovery too anyway. I'm fairly sure of this, but if I'm wrong, please correct me anybody.

Just to be safe. Wanted to get rid of the sprint related elements from the original root so I Odin'd back to stock with cwm installed using the VRALF2 tar found here. Tried to boot into recovery to factory reset prior to first boot and had 0 recovery (not stock nor cwm). Luckily the rom booted and I used the simple root method to root and install EZ-Recovery to install CWM.
If I flashed synergy v1.7 and used rom manager v5.x.x and then unlocked the boot loader how would I flash a new rom? Do I have to use ez recovery with clockwork mod v6.x.x since it is now unlocked or can I continue using rom manager with clockwork mod 5.x.x. I'm a noob and won't be looking to switch roms until synergy gets jellybean. Thanks for the help and hopefully I made sense with my question
synergy to beans to synergy bootloop
I think my issue might be related to the issues stated above.
So after after having unlocked my bootloader with EZ unlock & installing beans custom Rom via TWRP , I decided to go back to synergy. I made a nandroid of my synergy which was origianlly installed with CWM and figured I could just wipe and restore that with TWRP. Total bootloop.
OK, so I pulled the battery, tried it again...bootloop.
SO I pulled the battery, wiped and installed the synergy zip thinking I could try a fresh install. I got a message in TWRP that E:sd-ext was not found, but wipe seemed to happen so I continued the process.
installation said it was successful but now when I try to boot up, I either get stuck in the android is upgrading applications (looping over and over) or it gets through there and tells me all teh com.android.xxxx applications unexpectedly stop.
is this a soft brick? can I recover from this? are there incompatibilities between the kernels of bean's custom rom and synergy for verizon samsung galaxy s3?
Good Morning,
After searching all of 100 pages in the post for the Hydro rom I have a question that I didnt find in the thread.Im on latest JB/OTA update for my TF300t and I have flashed the CWM recovery after unlocking my bootloader.Now,I want to install the latest Hydro rom but the developer is suggesting the latest TWRP for the rom.
My question is,will i be able to flash the rom using CWM or do I have to use twrp?If so will i end up with a brick if i side load twrp along cwm?
The only place i didnt check is the youtube video instructions since im on a restricted network...
Anyone?
Im really itchy to flash the new rom I just need to know if i can flash both cwm and twrp or if it is safe with cwm already installed to flash twrp on top of it.

It is an either or situation. There is one recovery partition and you can have stock, cwm, or twrp. You can't have more than recovery installed at a time.
There are a lot of issues being reported with cwm recently. Since the op says twrp I used twrp. It may or may not work with cwm.
Be aware that a backup made with cwm probably won't restore with twrp or the other way around.
Good Luck!
Is there or can it be built; a stock JB ROM which includes the stock JB bootloader with a custom recovery included? For example, those on .26 could flash and then only need to flash the supersu.zip to gain root. This would make it entirely pc-less.

It's very easy to flash recovery onto a stock jelly bean rom. I'm going to post a super detailed video for people like you. I forgot how to flash stuff using fastboot but remembered yesterday. I'll send you a link but in the meantime flash the stock jelly bean rom straight from asus website so you will be on Jelly bean and have the jelly bean boot loaders

I can do it but fastboot is a pain in the ass and needs a pc. Are you saying my logic to make that custom rom is not possible for technical reason.
1-Have your unzipped files directly in the C drive.
2-have fastboot and the recovery in the same folder on your C drive and name it infinity root. If your on twrp make sure you followed directions and renamed the recovery you downloaded to (twrp.blob)
3-now we need to open up a command prompt. Hit start on your computer and enter cmd to open one up.
4-put your device in fastboot mode and plug it in.
5-enter (cd c:\infinity root) or you could type infi(tab to fill in the rest)
6-type (adb device) to be sure the drivers are good and your computer is seeing the device. It should say daemon started successful
7-now we're going to flash recovery (fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob) This is obviously to flash twrp recovery. If wanting to flash CWM you would have to enter the name of that recovery after typing recovery. Hit enter. You should have a time it finished flashing.
8-type (fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot) your all done rock on!

I'm sorry I read your post in a hurry. I thought you wanted to get recovery on your JB device. You'll need to flash a recovery image first if on jelly bean. You can't root without having a recovery image to flash root you can't flash a modified rom without getting recovery on your device! I just went through this. You'll need a PC to get recovery on your device to make any modifications

Hi
At the weekend I tried to update my TF300T from CM10.1 to CM10.2. That didn't work as I ended up in a boot loop. Then I thought, maybe I need to flash the latest system blob.
So I did that, only to find that I then couldn't install anything from zip or sd card as the recovery would not mount anything at all. Still got fastboot, so I've tried TWRP 2.6. TWRP 2.5, TWRP 2.4 and CWM, none of them will mount anything at all.
So I find myself with stock ROM, but no way of rooting or installing any custom ROMs.
I'm sure I've made a bloop somewhere, so all suggestions to resolve welcome!
Thanks
Rob
What is your bootloader? Sometimes, if you reflash the same recovery, it *may* work properly the second time around.
I am using TWRP 2.6 with my 127.5 bootloader, just for your knowledge.

That was the tip I needed - I knew I had the right bootloader but I had downloaded the wrong TWRP (I had flashed the JB version instead of the 4.3 version). Doh!
Now flashed CM10.2 and is running Android 4.3. CPU-Z tells me I'm rooted though at the moment I can't get any root apps to work with SuperSU. I'll leave that for another day!
