Has anyone else had issues with getting the various JellyBean ROMs for the Transformer TF101 to boot the first time?
I have tried 3 ROMs now, Cyanogen 10, EOS and rayman33's AOSP build. They all install successfully but none of them boot to the OS, they all just sit at their respective animated boot screen.
I've left each one of them sitting for an hour or more and they never finish booting, so it's not a case of me being impatient.
Has anyone else had this? Were you able to solve it, if so, how?
Thanks

I'm having the same issue. What Recovery are you using? By any chance, did you install CWM 5.5.0.4 and get stuck in that recovery loop before?

You might be onto something there. I did install CWM 5.5.0.4, I never resolved the recovery loop because I rebooted the device so infrequently it was never a problem, until now it seems.

I flashed a newer CWM recovery, then ran the script using SU (either in ADB shell or terminal emulator)
echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0 and it started booting up fine. However, every time I flash anything in recovery, it goes back to the recovery boot. This is why you and I are having to go through the Cold Boot Linux option... thats where mine freezes with one JB ROM and I go into an infinity logo loop with EOS JB ROM...

Try flashing a new recovery. I did this and eliminated the bootloop, mine was caused by updating to .27 while having cwm. I have yet to try a jelly bean rom. I had this issue, flashed teamwin 2.2 touch recovery then cold booted, entered the echo boot cmd in terminal emulator. then restarted tablet which then installed the new recovery and then a reboot performed as expected. Hope this helps.

I did this just now. Perfect... however, I am not able to access my Internal SD Card. Am I doing something wrong?
*Scratch that, i see all of my files
Update: I did this, and I was able to flash JB. No problems. It takes some getting used to, its not familiar to me yet... i accidentally flashed the ROM, then wiped dalvik cache, and forgot to erase/factory default... luckily it booted fine and actually kept all my old settings upgrading from EOS ICS
I still haven't resolved my boot loop problem aaarrrggghhh!!!
I'm sure once I do all will be well.
Thanks guys

When you guys are stuck on the boot logo, how do you reboot the tablet? I'm stuck on boot animation for 10 minutes now, and have no idea how to shut it off, or reboot or go back to recovery. Tried holding power button for 5/10/30 seconds, tried holding power button in combination with Vol- and Vol+ respectivly, nothing. The only thing I can see is just waiting for the battery to die :/
Tried plugging in usb cable, no response out of adb.
ME TOO! I just got the ASUS TF101-X1 from Groupon. Not sure what the model number is. My S/N starts C3OKA and there's RTF101 on here too.
I loaded the TEAM EOS JellyBean ROM and got stuck at the animation logo just after the TEAM EOS appeared. Freaked me out. I, finally, managed to get the Revolver ICS flashed and I'm back up and running,

I take it that when you were stuck on the animation logo, you just pressed and held the power button and it shut off? This is the problem I have right now is that it won't turn off for me. So, its just staying at that animation until presumably it will shut off once the battery drains.
Luckily, I had just flashed Team Rogue recovery just before I flashed the 8/1/12 TEAM EOS JellyBean ROM.
To get to recovery, press and hold Power + Volume Down, then press Volume Up when prompted <- You have to be fast.
I would try flashing [ROM] Revolver 4 by Gnufabio | 4.1.1 Stable - IC411 | Jun 23 | FaceUnlock | APM

That's the problem I have right now tho, is that my TF101 is stuck on the boot animation logo, and I can't get it to go anywhere. It will not turn off with pressing and holding the power button (tried for 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, etc). I have CWM on there, so, I guess once my battery dies, and shuts the tablet off, I'll be able to power it back up again. I really wish there was some sort of physical switch that cuts the power to the tablet, because obviously the 'power' button doesn't do it.
I found this over at Transformerforums: "--Hold down the Power button and the Volume Up buttom, at the same time, for 10 seconds. The TF101 will shut itself off, screen will be black. After a minute, hold down the Power button and the Volume Down button, at the same time, for 10 seconds. The screen will come on about 30 sec after you release the buttons.

This puts your tablet in APX mode. It does not shut it down.
I say the simplest way to fix the boot loop is
1. boot into recovery MANUALLY (dont EVER use "boot to recovery" power-menu, ROM manager boot to recovery etc. This is what is causing your bootloops). Manually means holding power+volume DOWN until it says "push volume up", then you push volume up.
2. while in recovery, using adb, run the echo boot commands as listed earlier in this thread.
And to be able to turn off tablet even with bootloops...
3. from recovery, if not running team win recovery, flash team win recovery. You can use adb to transfer files to the tablet while in recovery.
Code:
adb push teamwinrecoverything.zip /sdcard/
4. from team win recovery, chose power off.
The key to unlocking (almost) any Android problem on any Android device is knowing adb and knowing when to use it
Do not flash while docked
I was FINALLY able to get TEAM EOS JB loaded!
A lesson for all n00bs like me.
DO NOT FLASH WHILE DOCKED! I repeat DO NOT FLASH WHILE DOCKED!
Quite by accident, I figured out that flashing while docked caused the JB ROM to stay stuck at the boot animation. As soon as I undocked, after a few seconds, the boot process proceeded and voila! JELLYBEAN!

I posted this else where, so hopefully it isn't looked at as spamming, but when I was trying different ROMs I could not get wifi to work. It was like my Prime didn't see the wireless radio. After two days of u successful ROMs, I ran across "fix permissions" in CWM. This seemed to clear up the issue. I hope this helps somebody, I couldn't find anything referencing this issue.

I searched around and couldn't find how to fix my booting problem. I have a Verizon Galaxy S3. I was rooted, installed ezlocked and unlocked it. I then installed ezrecovery and did a back up. Then I wiped everything on and it and tried to install CM10. It failed, so I rebooted and everything went back to stock. I repeated the ezunlock and ezrecovery and then attempted to install CM10 without wiping the data/cache(because I'm an idiot). Now when I start the phone it takes me right into the CM10 booting animation. I can't get into download mode or recovery mode. Whenever I try to get into those it takes me right back into the booting animation. Battery pulls do nothing.
I know I'm a noob and I can't believe I did this. I can't get back into CWM or download mode so I can flash through Odin. Any help would be really appreciated.

Did you try holding the power button, up on the volume, and the home button when you boot the phone to get to CWM?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
do you have the sdk set up? can you use adb?
Were you on a JellyBean baseband? If so to enter recovery you have to let go of the power button on the vibrate and keep pressing the home key + vol up.

I was going from stock ICS to CM10. But yeah, you were right. I tried like a hundred different ways to try to get into download mode. I finally got it to work and then flashed through Odin. Thanks everybody! I feel like a dumbass.
I flashed a zip, and now my phone won't boot! When I press power and volume down, it doesn't boot into recovery either! Like it vibrates twice but then just doesn't boot! Please help!!!!
I was also running cm10 liquidsmooth, and when I try to boot to recovery it just vibrates twice and the screen shows the samsung logo for like teo seconds. Then the screen just goes blank. I seriously need help!
Can you give a little more information, like how you went about the installation, your source for information and if your root worked properly the first time you did it on stock

It's the whole volume rocker (volume up and down) and the power button, to get into the recovery. Release the power button when it vibrates but keep holding the volumes until your in the recovery.
And make sure you do full wipes when switching roms, wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik-cache, and system. Or run Blackhole System Wipe.
When I hold on both volume buttons and press the power button and release it, it just flashes the samsung logo and the screen goes blank.
Basically everything has been working right before, everything was fine. The rom worked perfectly. After I flashed a zip (not a rom, it was just a camera app) I hit reboot in the cwm and then it just wouldn't boot, not into recovery either.
Try holding all of them for a minute or two. Sometimes it takes a bit. From what you have said nothing should have borked your cwm. If all else fails, there's always the option to use Odin to reflash back to stock or reflash cwm.

I always hold all three until the samsung logo appears, then I release the power button. When CWM comes up I release the volume buttons.
If you can still boot your ROM you should just use terminal emulator. (Download it from the play store if you don't have it on your rom). *requires root*
Type su
confirm root access.
then type "reboot recovery"
That should do it...
OR...
You could just ODIN CWM back on your phone if something got corrupted...
I used odin and followed the instructions.... but now the phone is stuck in a boot loop.
oh thank goodness, I flashed CWM through odin again and it worked. Thank you all.
So I'm selling my TF700 and decided to reset everything. I made the mistake of wiping the data. When I rebooted from TWRP I now get stuck at the boot screen (white asus logo that says unlocked). It will not let me boot into recovery, the options aren't there. Any idea on how I can get back to recovery?

You can try to hold the power button + volume down button for ten second. Can you access to your bootloader?
