Usually am pretty good at this stuff but just got this device and can't figure out what I'm missing.
The drivers seem to be working okay, the bootloader says its unlocked, I am on stock JB which I am going to the right forums for.. Just can't get into recovery. I use power and down volume and then up volume and I just get the error Android. Let me know if anyone has suggestions or what I am missing please.
First off you should have posted this in the Q&A section, not Development.
Anyway, have you flashed any recovery? Or have you just unlocked the device?
Look here for installing recovery
Hope that helps :fingers-crossed:
What recovery did you install? Do you have a custom recovery? The native recovery expects its files in a specific directory and will throw an error ("dead Andy") if there are none there. Can you get the 70 to connect by USB, and detected?
In order to flash anything, you must install a custom recovery. You cannot use the stock recovery as it will only flash stock roms. You can either use ClockworkMod or TWRP. To flash it onto your tf700 you must use fastboot which is not hard if you find a detailed guide.

I had CWM installed but just installed twrp instead to see if that helped but I cannot get into recovery. I am doing the volume down and power and get a screen with 4 images in the center and then it goes to dead android.

Apparently you never installed a custom recovery. How did you try to install it? With fastboot?

Install the recovery using fast boot.

Yes I used Scott's tf700t recovery install tool.
Moved to correct board ..
Are you actually unlocked? You are still on the stock recovery if you see a dead android.
Try this if you are unlocked

For some reason the volume up button doesn't work, is this software caused or hardware caused? I just bought this tablet today. It's already rooted but I can't get clockworkmod to work.
But basically what should I do?
thanks.
It doesn't work just within CWM recovery or it doesn't work period?

Doesn't work in general.
Not knowing if it was working before you rooted ect
it's hard to say if it's hardware or software.
I would revert back to stock and see what it does if not just return it for a new one.

I'm a noob when it comes to android, but in the recovery screen where it says wipe data and android, when I select something with the volume up should it immediatley go to it? Cause it's not doing anything and going to cold boot, so I think it might not be working...just my luck.
Do you have CWM recovery or you at the screen where it ask to cold boot or delete data?
How did you install CWM recovery?

I don't even remember the first attempt, but the second time I tried using some one click apk thing I installed on the device.
Just did a system restore and now unrooting it, going to do another system restore after that and if it doesn't work I'm just going to return it..
i just installed Rom Manager and than i clicked on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery on the app and from that time on when i try to enter RCK
it stuck on Booting Recovery Kernel image.
Pls i need some help.
you are now bricked. Rom Manager is flashing the prime recovery, not the TF300.
If you are still able to use fastboot, try flashing TWRP with fastboot, cause CWM had many problems on TF300
I don't think its a brick situation but I agree with the previous suggestion, use a PC and flash twrp recovery using fastboot. See the Dev section for details, website data, and instructions.

Good to hear that your tf300 works now
I have a strange problem. A while ago I successfully unlocked my infinity. That was before the jb update. I also successfully flashed custom recoveries and several roms. Didn't ran into any problems. When the official jb update came out, I restored original recovery and flashed a stock ics Rom, and after that successfully applied the jb update. The second update .30 also went smooth. I used the update file from Asus servers. Now I want to flash a custom recovery again in order to flash cleanrom. In adb I see my device and I can reboot with fastboot and stuff. So I think my drivers are ok. However as soon as I start to flash recovery.img it just says sending recovery and that's it. It just hangs there. Nothing happens. I tried everything, from changing usb ports and uninstalling drivers... It just can't send the recovery img. I use Scott's script to flash the recovery.blob. any ideas?

I can't use it because it needs root, and as long as I don't have a custom recovery I'm unable to root my stock jellybean Rom. Or is there already another way to root?

Are you saying you can not get TWRP or CWM installed ? or are you saying you do have one installed but no root ?
If it is the latter then can't you just flash a custom rom that has root built in ( like Baked ) then go back to twrp and now with root you can wipe and flash stock. ? I am sorry if I am miss understanding your question. But at least you get a free 'bump'

Thats correct, i am trying to get custom recovery, after that root is no problem.
Edit: i just installed a clean windows 8 installation. So no old drivers left behind or other weird stuff. I put my transformer in fastboot mode, driver is automatically installed, i see it under device manager. Stillno luck.... it hangs saying sending recovery.... no error messages. My previous attempt was under win7.

Glenner, did you make sure you have the img file in the same folder as you fastboot/adb command files?
If it says "sending recovery", I'd assume that it found the local file.
I don't use Windows, but I always read about driver issues in Windows. Maybe the auto-installed driver is wrong? Does "fastboot devices" return question marks or nothing?
i'm happy to report that finally it worked! seemed something strange with drivers/USB ports after all. Despite i already changed USB ports under my win 7 installation, i tried it again under win8, and suddenly it worked. I didn't reinstall the drivers or something, all went automatically. So the strange issues are driver issues for sure. Anyway, currently happy running cleanrom 2.3
thanks for all your suggestions and thinking along.....

I am having problems flashing Clean Inheritance Rom 4.1 and I believe my TWRP 2.4.4.0 may be the problem because it seems corrupted.
I followed the instructions on this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982
So far I have been able to flash the patched twrp 2.4.4.0 and install the Asus stock 4.2.1 but every time I try to flash CROM 4.1 twrp will initiate updating partition and then it will just restart w/o warning to its home screen. I think that my twrp may be corrupted but i have used fastboot to repush the twrp multiple times and the asus stock 4.2.1 multiple times but this is not solving my issue. I see that fastboot has a erase command and wanted to know if i would use that to erase the recovery img completely and then try flashing twrp again to see if this resolves the issue or will the erase command brick my device? Also do I need to have my stock kernel for the CROM 4.1 to work? I am attaching screenshot of my tablet info, please let me know if more info is needed or if i need to upload a video of what is going on thanks.
have you redownloaded twrp mate it might have been a dodgy download or maybe a bad download of cromi, or you could try installing cromi 4.0 first

Thanks robgee for the response, I have tried downloading the twrp patch and crom 4.0 and 4.1 but I am still having the same issue. Is there a way to flash CROM 4.1 without using twrp?
Hi Williams,
I'm also facing the same as you, and still searching for an answer. Tried flashing the SuperSU patch and my tablet is still not rooted.
Running the WW version. Wonder if anyone can help us....
What OS are you using?

Update! bump please help someone
I am still having issues installing clean rom 4.1 but I noticed that if I keep selecting to flash the CROM 4.1 or 4.0 rom it will eventually initiate and let me choose the options and actually start flashing but once it says it is complete and i reboot it does not boot CROM just gets stuck at the asus boot screen. Then i must use fastboot to flash the stock android 4.2.1 to get the thing up and running and then twrp pretty much breaks after i use fastboot to flash teh android 4.2.1 blob file so I have to reflash the patched 2.4.4.0 again. I really do think the problem is with twrp because ever since this new 2.4.4.0 update i have been having issues i remember before twrp was a great utility but now it seems like it is a nightmare is there a way from me to try flashing crom 4.1 with clockwork mod yet?

I was able to flash SuperSU as well
I was able to flash SuperSU and it was confirmed rooted with root checker. I still don't know why CleanROM will not work I have downloaded the ROM multiple times but it just refuses to flash is there something else I need to check in order to flash the rom or is TWRP partially broken where it can only flash very small simple files but not a complete custom rom?
I just downloaded the energy rom and tried to flash it do my device and ended up having the same issue. It says the rom has been flashed and completes but after reboot it is just stuck on Asus bootscreen and never boots into the OS. What the hell is going on
I think my bootloader is somehow screwed up because it can't boot any custom roms it can only boot the asus stock 4.2.1 when i flash the blob file using fastboot. Did i miss a step or something to allow the bootloader to boot custom roms
I don't know if it makes a difference but I used the ww version so it might be worth trying that but not sure how much difference it will make but you never know

So I was able to use the patched twrp 2.4.4.0 to flash energy rom custom stock rom after 2 attempts so now I finally have a custom rom on my tablet but I really want clean rom because I like that version more. I will try to reflash clean rom later and let you know how it goes.

Hi guys,
i've decided to finaly unlock my bootloader and flash a new rom, i thought maybe KitKat...
unfortunately i can't get into fastboot...i keep getting the dead android with red triangle.
tablet is working as usual, and i get the 3 options when trying to get into fast boot ( vol. down+ power)
but when i chose RCK it starts loading for a sec' and the dead android apears.
is this some kind of brick?
i have JB 4.2.1 OTA
i've search the forum & googled it, and i couldn't find a clear answer...
any solutions for this?
thanks!
When the 3 icons/options show it means you're already in fastboot mode. Regards.

last time i was following these subjects, i had ICS and remembered there was a USB icon so i thought the RCK is similar. guess not..

is there a differance between *.blob and *.img, flashing Recovery wise?

They will both flash to your recovery partition, so there is nothing to worry about the difference :good:
Make sure after you flash the recovery, you reboot fully into android first before you go back into recovery.

Most *.img files you get for our TF300T are actually (misnamed) blobs and can be flashed fine using fastboot. If you are not sure, check the header:
If the file starts with "-SIGNED-BY-SIGNBLOB-" it is an Asus blob file and can be flashed.
If the file starts with "ANDROID!" it is an Android boot image and cannot be flashed directly, but can be easily converted into a flashable blob.
