Can't install CM10 or Blackbean 6 - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good evening, I am looking to see if anyone can help me with my problem. I bought the Transformer TF300T yesterday, and off course it had the latest JB update installed. I unlocked the booloader, flashed the latest TWRP and root the tablet. I attempted to flash CM10 nightlies from Goomanger with no luck. The Asus logo screen just stayed there, so I had to flash the firmware from the asus website thru fastboot, which it worked and I was able to fix the problem. I installed recovery again and rooted. I then tried to flash blackbean 6 with inverted gapps and had the same issue. I'm not an expert, but have some experience with android from the OG Droid thru Droid RAZR maxx HD. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

CWM on TF300T w/Jellybean

Hey Guys,
I am having trouble Installing CWM Recovery on My Tf300T after upgrading to Jellybean firmware.
Since my device is unlocked I had to download and install the 'official Jellybean ROM' from online. (WW Version, since I am in Australia).
Jellybean is working great (Through I have noticed that is sucks up about 100mb + more ram than ICS did) but whenever I try to install and run CWM Mod, it just hangs.
Any ideas on a fix?
P.S. I had CWM and Root installed before I updated to Jellybean but the update seemed to get rid of both of those
TWRP for the win!
I just installed TWRP and it's working fine. I prefer Clockword but after some browsing the net, I found others who have had issues with it.
So just a note here: There are issues with Flashing CWM via fastboot on the TF300 with Jellybean

[Q] Cannot flash custom rom

I have a asus tf300t running 4.2.1 with unlocked bootloader and root. I am running twrp v2.5.0.0 and I have already made backups of my apps. I am trying to install a custom rom. Preferably PACman rom but at this point any will do. When I try to flash the rom it go through the whole process then reboots but does not get past the asus splash screen.
What is the problem? Is it that the new bootloader does not accept any custom roms, if so how do I downgrade to 4.1? Otherwise I am open to any advice.

You must be on Jelly Bean 4.2.1
with the Asus Stock bootloader 10.6.1.8 and TWRP Recovery patched 2.4.4.0
or
Bootloader 10.1.15.3 and TWRP patched 2.5.0.0
You will find all versions of Stock firmwares and Stock kernels here
And the TWRP recoveries here

I am currently running the 10.1.15.3 bootloader and TWRP 2.5.0.0, yet it still does not finish flashing the ROM. I even tried to flash a more simple stock based ROM, ie. black beans 8. This did not work either. It went through the twrp flash and restarted but when it got to the ASUS boot up screen it simply stopped. I waited about 10 minutes for it to possibly load however it never did. So I am restored back to my stock and am awaiting any further help.

In the OP for PACman rom it says you must be on android 4.1.1 to flash his rom. You need to pick a rom for your 4.2.1. I am also on 4.2.1 and run CROMI 4.6.6 with no issues. Have also succesfully tried the Energy rom. Read carefully the OP for the rom's you are considering and make sure they are for 4.2.1

I am having the same problem! I am running 4.2.1 and im trying to install blackbean 8 using twrp 2.5.0.0. I factory reset in twrp and wipe cache and dalvic. I then install the the rom and reboot but it will not go past the first boot screen with the tegra logo in the bottom right. It always flashes for a second but then does nothing. I have even tried cm 10.1 and it does the exact same thing. I am still able to restore back to stock. This is my first time flashing a rom so any help would be appreciated!
For the latest [ROM][4.2.2][ OFFICIAL] PAC-man v23.0.0 [OC up to 1.7GHz][New Update 22/06/2013], if you read the installation process, you need to be 4.1.1 and not 4.2.1 and also you need installed custom recovery for JB 4.1 BL !
For the latest [ROM]ASU-JellyBean-Hydro 8 (6/29/13)Liquid Butter..- Tf300 -Official 10.6.1.15.3 Base, you need to be on 4.2.1 and 10.6.15.3 bootloader
and you will see to the changelog:
...not sure if any bootloader will work...

[Q] Bootloader/CM10.1 Confusion

Hey guys, so I unlocked and rooted my brothers TF300t last year, and now I'm having problems updating to the latest version of CM10.1. His tablet is currently on bootloader version 10.4.2.9 and CM10.1 20130612, and when I try to install the latest version of CM10.1 nightlies, the tablet just hangs on the Asus logo. (It's xplodwild's ROM) I'm running CWM 6.0.1.3 on his tablet. I thought I'd ask the great minds of XDA so that I'm completely sure I'm not going to brick my brothers tablet, because I can't afford to buy him a new one if I ruin this one. Plus I'd look like a complete retard :highfive:
So what am I doing wrong? I used to flash ROM's all the time on my old HTC phone, and I don't remember having to worry about my bootloader version much. Do I need to upgrade to a newer bootloader version? Is my recovery out of date? I've tried doing a full wipe and installing the latest ROM as well as installing over top his current version, and nothing works, it just hangs at the Asus logo.
If any further clarifications are needed, please let me know. I appreciate any and all help! Thanks.

You can do this with the zip you got from asus as long as the SKU matches what is on your tablet ....
So do this unzip the zip you downloaded .. There will be another zip, unzip it as well ...
Inside that zip there will be a blob file.... This blob file can be flashed using fastboot ...
This blob will return you to stock.... Let me know if you need anymore help ...
Thx Josh

Help...my motorola droid razr maxx hd stuck on custom rom boot screen!!!

Please I have a MOTOROLA DROID RAZR MAXX HD with kk Bootloader unlocked n rooted, stock 4.4.2 ROM and system version 183.46.15.XT926.Verizon.en.US. Whenever I install any kinda custom ROM (cm11&12, Liquid smooth kk n lp, Resurrect lp) it installs successfully but when it reboots after the flashing process, it gets stuck on the boot screen after the M logo. This happens to all the custom ROMs I have ever flashed. Please what am I not getting right here? Although it came with Mokee ROM when I bought it and I changed it to cm12 which worked well until I changed it back to stock kk and when I later wanted to return to the cm12 that was when the problem started. Pls help me. I use TWRP v2.6 recovery. Thanx in advance...
1. Flash the latest recovery, http://d-h.st/users/dhacker29/?fld_id=42955#files
2. Clean flash (know what this means before you attempt to install a new rom) the rom (CM 12.1, not 12, I presume) you would like to install from your SD card. http://www.cmxlog.com/12.1/xt926/
3. GAPPS can be found here: http://d-h.st/users/dhacker29/?fld_id=27426#files
I had to clean flash CM11 before flashing CM12 to get it up and running. Good luck.
Thanx very much. Pls do u mean I should flash cm11 first before upgrading to 12.1? I just downgraded my system version from .15 to .10 and I tried the ROMs, only unified cm11 SNAPSHOT build worked. Others only got stuck at the boot animation. Any further help pls?

1. Revert back to stock KK entirely. Easiest way would be to download the RAZR HD Utility http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474393
2. Flash TWRP 2860. Then wipe everything except sd card. Reboot into recovery again.
3. Flash latest cm12.1 from sd card
Works for me.
