Can't get my new tf700t to root or install recovery.

Hey guys.
I just got a very nice condition used TF700T. I am trying to get recovery to install so I can flash a rom. I used the Transformer Toolkit to unlock it, which worked, it says device unlocked when booting.
But I absolutely cannot get it to Root, or flash recovery. If I try using debugfs root generic 2.3 it fails to write everything. If I try to flash any recovery with the toolkit it downloads and says flashing but just sits at about 25%, it boots my device into the screen that says usb fastboot mode with the three icons that say RCK Android and factory wipe. If I click the RCK it says rebooting and then goes to android mascot installing icon, but then the one with an X and error appears. What on earth am I doing wrong?
Is it the latest 4.2 update locking me out? Can I downgrade? I just can't get anything to root or flash recovery no matter what I do. I feel a little defeated being a long time member and 3 phone habitual rom flasher :crying:\
Any ideas what i'm missing?

What custom recovery are you installing? You may want to try with fastboot or adb method to flash your custom recovery which doesn't require rooted device, good luck....

Well I tried TWRP 2.7.1.1 I believe and also CWM , and Phil's custom touch CWM that all three are options to flash with the all in one ADB Toolkit app via USB from windows (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094746)
How do I do the Fastboot method? I read about that, but have no idea how the process goes. I'm ok with skipping root and going straight to recovery and a rom because I can just flash superuser after if the rom isn't rooted already.

I wanted to try an app I used to get twrp onto my LG G2 for the first time called "flashify" that worked like a charm. I just installed the app, downloaded the twrp file and flashed it then it reboots to recovery, but it requires root as far as I know. Does unlocking the boot loader allow things like this?

Unlocked bootloader is allowed you to install the custom recovery so you can install the custom ROM, I believed..... You can check this guide out to see if you can setup your fastboot/adb. It is very easy to follow for the beginners, good luck....:fingers-crossed:

Once you unlocked the bootloader you can flash a custom recovery and after that - the sky's the limit.
Flashify works great, and it is a wonderful tool as long as you're able to boot into Android.
My problem with Flashify and Goomanager and TwrpManger is that it saves users from setting up a proper ADB/fastboot connection from PC to tablet.
As long as you can boot Android, these apps are great. But what if you can't? Once the tablet doesn't boot it's so much harder (and often too late) to get the correct drivers installed for ADB and fastboot.
So if you flash your recovery with any of those apps still make sure you have access with ADB and fastboot from your PC.
You will regret it if you don't - I (almost) guarantee it.

That's an excellent point. Thanks. I did actually get the Fastboot method to work. The problem was that I kept clicking into RCK recovery when I ws supposed to just leave it on that screen to push twrp instead. I got recover and just got done doing a backup. I'm about the flash my first rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672751). Do we need to do factory reset / wipe data/system etc? The instructions on the ROM post say to just flash it from twrp so I'm guessing it has a built in wipe feature during install?

The instructions in the OP actually say that you have to do a full wipe (Factory Wipe) in TWRP coming from a different rom base. Which would be you unless you had a version of CROMBi-KK installed prior to this.
It's the default selection under the Wipe menu in TWRP. Just do that and then flash the rom and your ok.
Do not use the Factory Reset option from Settings or the Wipe Data option from the BL menu! Do this in TWRP only!

Cool thanks. I figured so because that's the norm with roms on all my phones. Thanks a lot for the help guys. So happy to be get KK running on my new toy!
Just wanted to update. KK 4.4.3 rom flashed and booted in. It's much nicer. The stock was a little laggy, and KK breathed a lot of new life into my ancient single core 1.0 ghz Galaxy S that I use as a music player so I figured it would help make the tab real nice and snappy too. Gotta go now, much fun to be had!!

Sideload a ROM to the phone via your custom recovery, in CWM it can be done via the Install.zip then Iinstall zip from sideload, once selected you need to move your custom ROM to the ADB folder then use the command in adb cmd (adb sideload FILENAME.zip)

Okay, we'll focus on just flashing the ROM as we can do Gapps later when the phone is working
First download your chosen from and move it to the adb folder
Then boot your phone into CWM and select install.zip and sideload install.zip. Then follow the onscreen instructions

Since you wiped /system, you have no OS installed. So, either use fastboot to flash a system image, or transfer a ROM over to it and flash it via recovery. No biggie. I do recommend switching to TWRP from ClockworkMod though. Is ClockworkMod even supported anymore?

This guy is on the money. You've wiped it anyway, might as well just flash a fresh factory image and start from scratch, nice and clean.

I advise you to download Nexus root toolkit from Wugfresh. After you installed it (assuming you already have adb drivers), under "Restore/ Upgrade/Downgrade" click on "Soft-Bricked/Bootloop" and then on "Flash Stock + Unroot". The appliciation tells you what to do next.

And I advise against using toolkits. If you rely solely on toolkits, you'll never learn how to fix problems such as this. It's best to familiarize yourself with fastboot, you'll find that it is nowhere near as difficult to use as it seems, and you'll be equipped to get yourself out of pretty much any situation imaginable. Not to mention that toolkits are the culprits for many "Help! I bricked my phone and don't know what to do!" threads.

You don't need to uninstall CWM first, just use fastboot to flash TWRP with this command-
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

No need to uninstall just:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-filename.img if recovery is in the same directory as fastboot or
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/your/recovery/recovery-filename.img
if the recovery is under /path/to/your/recovery/
You may drag and drop the file to you terminal or commandline...

There are also apps that allow you to flash a recovery image from within the OS. I prefer that because I keep my bootloader locked and flash the stock recovery for a little extra bit of security when I don't need to flash anything.

Beginner flasher who may have screwed up and needs help :)

Hi there,
So I tried flashing my phone and unfortunately I seem to have wiped everything as I cannot even load anything from my local storage.
The phone does load in recovery mode and even fastboot.
How can I flash the phone without any ROMS currently on the phone?
Any help is appreciated!

Well here is what you need to do.
Download the latest fastboot ROM for OnePlus one from cyanogen os site from the support section.
Follow the fastbiot guide by Heisenberg to restore your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guides-bacon-timmaaas-how-to-guides-t2839471

There is no need in fastboot flashing the entire phone, as it seems that you have just wiped the entire phone from within recovery. Just download a rom of your choice (preferably the latest cm13 nightly) to your pc, then boot into recovery, attach phone via usb to pc, copy rom over to phone, flash rom, done.

Download TWRP RC1 and flash it with TWRP alpha. Then download PN and follow the flashing instructions OR use your PC to flash back to stock and start over.
Edit: if you've made a backup using TWRP alpha, you can try to restore it using TWRP alpha.

ADB debugging does not need to be enabled on the device. All fastboot commands will work when you're in bootloader.
The files/folders with random names are showing up because TWRP didn't decrypt properly, reboot TWRP until the files/folders show up properly on the device then the files will show up properly on your PC and enable you to transfer files.
What's the background here, were you running stock rooted or a custom ROM?

stock rooted with substratum installed. i had a substratum theme that worked for the most part perfectly fine but then i found orange kittens and the colored kittens addon to change the color to something i wanted people told me it would work just fine on the pixel 7.1 and when it rebooted BAM bootloop. i didn't have adb or usb debugging enabled when i did it and i wasn't thinking because i've done this kinda stuff in the past so i thought i'd be fine. but i guess i wans't.

Oh so could i just copy over the stock 7.1 zip flash it with twrp and i'll be set? or should i just flash the latest OTA update image? and whichever i have to do do i do it using the install option or do i do it using the advanced ADB sideload?

also what is PN? i'm confused by that one.

ok, bootloop form theme. After TWRP has successfully decrypted, this might take a few reboots.. Go to sd card, you will see a folder named Substratum, in there are two zip files, flash the SubstratumRescue_Legacy.zip then reboot.
IF that does not work, go back into TWRP and go to mount - system. back out and go to advanced - file manager navigate to /system/vendor/overlay and delete the entire folder. Ive done that only once on the Pixel, you might have to go to /system/system/vendor/overlay and delete the folder then reboot.

That is interesting, my first experience with the Pixel I had bought it close to when Best Buy was closing (they were offering the $10.00/month promotion) and the device had not finished updating. However, the person checking me out let me go before it had completely finished and said it "will finish the updates shortly and be usable". Well, i guess in his haste to get blackout drunk and attempt lame pick up lines, he did something wrong. After the update finished, The phone was stuck in a constant boot loop. My first experience with my beloved Pixel was a nightmare. Of course, I had it replaced with a new one in the store the next day, but it was very strange. I had not even got into the OS at all and it was stuck in this strange bootloop.
Glad your situation worked out, when I saw the title to this post my heart sunk a little bit because I certainly know the look.

ZOMG it rebooted! i already did a restore so i have to set up my phone again in terms of apps and stuff but that's fine. but now it keeps saying android.process.acore keeps stopping. i'm assuming it has to do with the substratum theme and i guess that means i should just delete that folder huh?

How did you restore? I've never seen that process stop before.
It might be best to (since you have to set up your apps again) flash a factory image and start over.

And if your going to be playing with themes.. PN is the way to go. PN is Pure Nexus rom. Follow the instructions word for word and you won't have any troubles. It is as stable as stock with some extra goodness baked in.

oh i did a quick cache and data wipe. it's what you're supposed to do when flashing new or updated roms in the first place. at the top right of TWRP it says wipe. i thought that would restore it back to default settings including substratum theme application but it seems all it did was set me back to stock settings with apps uninstalled lol. gotta set up my device again sadly. but now like i said now i keep getting this stupid android.process..acore keeps crashing error.
and i restored using the legacy zip you told me to use in the substratum folder using the install option at the top left.

No you can't flash factory images using TWRP, I would however highly suggest flashing the factory image to stop that crashing process.

It would remove TWRP, but after the flash-all.bat is done.. set up your phone. Reboot to bootloader, fastboot boot TWRP install TWRP via zip and flash super su.
Then going forward to update every month, download the newest factory image, right click on the flash-all.bat click edit, scroll over and remove the -w. Then boot into bootloader and run the flash-all.bat, when it's done your still in bootloader, fastboot boot TWRP, flash TWRP zip and flash super su. Reboot.
