[Q] Cant install a single custom rom - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ive been at it all day but ive yet to install a single custom rom on my tf300t, all of them get stuck at the Asus boot screen. I started of with a stock ics tf300, i installed nvflash then tried to install Cleanrom (first flashing the posted jellybean bootloader) but it didnt work, stuck at boot screen so i tried installing the latest 4.2.1 stock jellybean which installed fine (im using the latest twrp) which i was over the moon about, but then tried both official and unofficial cm10.1 roms both to the same result, stuck at asus boot screen:crying:
I know i must be doing something wrong here but ive tried so many combinations and guides im all out of ideas. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience.

I've got the same problem. I think it happened when I tried to flash the rootfs for Archlinux

the problem for me was the 4.2.1 bootloader, i flashed stock 4.1.1 with fastboot and it downgraded the bootloader from there i was able to install Cleanrom without any trouble, hope it helps:good:

Do you have a link to the stock 4.1.1?

Put a pin in this thread.
Boot-freezing when coming from 4.2.1 is because the 4.1.1 bootloader is needed and needed to be reflashed before custom ROMs would work. I just spent 6 hours dicking around the answer was right here.

Cant flash BAKED TF300T Blackbean rom anymore.

I would like to flash back the BAKED TF300T Blackbean rom. But after flashing sean's JellyBean-Hydro 1.4.6 i cant flash the rom anymore, i get stuck in Asus logo like many others. Im rooted and with unlocked bootloader. Im using TWRP JB version as Recovery now. Tried both CWM's also. CWM touch, wont make any difference. Normal CWM doesnt even work anymore.
I also played around with the fastboot and installed the stock WW30 (un-bootable), still cant flash the Blackbean. Is there currently anyway for me to flash it?
Hope i didnt forgot anything important to tell
Thanks

No, there is no way to flash the older roms after JB update till now. You are stucked with Stock JB or hydro until the devs come out with a solution to downgrade to ICS

Okay, currently im trying to flash any other JB rom to try out, stuck on bootlogo almost everytime. Even the Hydro's re-flash did cause the stuck in logo.
EDIT: Ok, looks like im currently stuck in Asus logo and no system. I hope that the dev's can figure something out.
I was just wondering, aint the Blackbean Jelly Bean rom?
EDIT: Is it the JB bootloader causing that i cant boot into any rom i have flashed?

[Q] Is it bricked or not?

Dear all
My tf700t stops at the first Asus monitor with nVidia logo down and unlocked at the top left. Have rooted it with unlocked it with Asus tool, rooted with "RootDebugfs," added TWRP via GooManager and tested several roms, but Asus will not boot. Having thus access to Fastboot and TWRP. The following roms is tried: "Mysticial ROM v1", "Team EOS ROM for the TF700" and "Maniacs ROM" for 4.0, but the same thing happens every time. Have tried all possible ways to delete cache but no result. I need help now.

It seems you picked three ROMS with problems to try for your 1st flash. I can't say anything about the Mystical ROM v1 (although it is based on a TF300 JB OTA) but the other 2 just may not boot at all (maniac is old old, and the EOS JB Rom v3 couldn't boot).
If you can try ZEUS v4 (ICS) or unofficial CM10 alphs latest 9/25 build (JB) you would be OK.
IF you are truly stuck, and you have a microsd card, follow the restore from a soft brick guide from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803343
Please note that this guide references the .26 update...if you updated to the .30 update, use that stock rom (I think you can get it from the same place). Just follow the instructions and you should be back at square one-stock. Re-root and reinstall TWRP, then choose a ROM more wisely, by reading the threads to see what is working well.

Sorry, no luck with the ZEUS v4. Same happen again. When booting, the first screen hangs....no weel either. Have been reading for 3 days now here on xda and tryed a lot of possible solutions. I cant get TWRP to mount a microsd card, have to rely on the pad itself. So, any other ideas?

Thanks for tips mister, since I dont can find the right version from ASUS I have to ask...in Europe is it the WW version i suppose to use, and its the Firmware not the Source code?

Why not installing a stock rom (the same version you had before the issues started) with TWRP, that should get you back on track.
Edit: Yes european version should be WW_SKU and please use the firmware not the source.
Got one step further ..or did I? Tryed to put in stock .30 used "fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob" in fastboot usb-mode. Seemd ok until this message arrived: Failed to prosess flash system error (0x17003)
So, close but not there. There are some problem with flashing since other images also refuse to install. What now?

[Q] ROM Problem : Stuck on boot logo

This is the story
I first installed Unlocked bootloader from asus, CWM recovery for tf300t, and then i used the update.zip to gain root access
I downloaded the CM nightly build, used CWM to backup, then flashed the CM ROM.
It was stuck on CM boot logo for about 30 min, so i restarted and cleared my cache.
I tried flashing again, and it was still stuck on boot.
I then restored to my backup, and now it is stuck on the original ASUS boot animation.
What do I do?

restore with cwm,ifyou can, to earlier version,working
then remove ClockWorkMod Recovery, by fastbooting TWRP instead...much more reliable (team win recovery)
then to root, theres a theres a batch script tool, that,when tablet is connected to pc, will run and reboot the tablet several times, rooting it.
ill look for the link, its in the forums here, debug,defug..something
there are other methods,that worked the best for me...
CM had been having issues, install CleanROM 2.1 HAS THE JB UPDATE V13 in it. its smooth

I am having the same issue installing any ASOP roms on my tf300t.
I have the TWRP recovery, gained root by flashing.
I can install ASUS based roms like CleanROM fine, but I cannot flash any ASOP roms like CM10.
Just curious on what is preventing us from doing this. Especially when our devices are supposedly "unlocked" with custom recoveries and root.
If this device still continues to be this locked up, I might just have to sell mine when the GN2 comes out.

First declare your bootloader. Have you ever been on a jb-rom, stock or otherwise?
Looking at git for cm it appears the kernel is 2.6, so I would expect that is not a jb rom.
cwm has some issues on this unit.
get into cwm and use fastboot to flash twrp for the proper bootloader you have.
or get into fastboot by use of power and volume down
at that point you can twrp a rom into place; probably not to restore your backup as twrp and cwm have issues reading each others backups.
Good Luck!
Note: If you can power up and access recovery (cwm in your case) you are not bricked and should be able to recover. I have as well as many others. Take your time and go a step at a time! Make back ups and make sure you have fastboot and adb access to your unit! If you are still ics bootloader consider nvflash once you have this mess sorted.

This is a known problem... once u get the OTA asus jb update, u can no longer flash any aokp or cyanogen jb roms. This is due to the kernel in these roms which are based on ics but since uve installed new ota jb bootloader it will not work and get stuck on boot screen. Restore in recovery will not work either. U need to download latest asus firmware and flash it then fastboot a recovery (i recommend twrp) and reroot.

Ah, ok. I have the JB OTA update so i have the latest bootloader :/
I restored my nandroid of stock and it worked fine.
Just flashed CleanROM which is running great. Cant wait till the CM team gets the JB bootloader worked out as i have always loved being ASOP. Any info on when it might happen?

[Q] flash properly JB ROM after a mistake on my part on ICS

Hi all!! :laugh:
I'm a owner of TF300T, so there is a long time ago, I flashed CM9 (ICS) and when CM10 (JB) arrive I wanted to update the tablet but I didn't know that it was necessary to update to the last stock kernel to get the last JB bootloader, so when I flashed CM10 the tablet stucked on bootloader logo! :crying: After I tried to install different ROM like the last stock ASUS JB ROM or CM9 but nothing changed :crying:
Then I have flashed the JB blob with fastboot, now I can boot on JB but the tablet is very slow and there are bugs often!!
I tried to flash again CM10 but the problem stays :/
I don't know how can I do to install CM10 or an other JB ROM properly !!
Can anyone help me please
II didn't found anything which works fine , I would like to flash just JB bootloader but I have not found :/

I'll provide the links to blobtools and firmware to create your own blobs.
I think you would need to match the bootloader to your kernel which you can find under settings/tablet.
Blobtools Link 1
Blobtools Link 2
Link to Asus kernels if needed.
Good Luck!

Thanks man!!
I will try that tonight =)
Hi!!
I don't try to create my own blobs because I have not had time :/
So If I try to flash stock ASUS ICS ROM, is possible that it works well again?
Can I flash zip file with custom recovery or not? I think not, so How can I do?
If this methode don't works, I will try to create blobs Monday or Tuesday!
Thanks!!

Here is a link to the asus firmware check in the first three posts.
[INDEX][04 Feb 2013]TF300T & TG-INDEX of Roms/Dev Guides/Kernels/Recoveries/etc.
Bookmark the thread as you will find it very useful in the future.
I suggest using JB 10.4.2.9 (located in the third post)(choose the proper sku for your location) to get your problems sorted. Then upgrade to what you wish or flash non stock rom for the JB bootloader.
You will need to unzip twice to get a blob and flash with fastboot. I suggest this version since it was the first JB and set the stage for later updates. For stock rom I use 10.4.2.18 it seems smoother and less issues than the other stock roms. Once you flashed JB you can't flash an ICS rom; it is now JB or a custom rom for JB; no ICS. If you could get ICS to flash now it would brick your tablet. I suggest this method over just flashing the bootloader.
Good Luck!
Note: This will erase your apps and settings which is normal for flashing stock firmware. OTA updates do not clear data but I haven't found one for 10.4.2.9.
Hi !
I have done that and after I have flashed CM10.1 nightly and it works very well!
Thanks everybody

[Q] help with installation

Hi there!
This is my first post, ive ben around quite a while and never had to post this question.
But ive tried everything with the razr maxx hd to install cm11 because stock kk its really buggy reboots randomely
and terrible battery life, i have root, bootloader unlocked and custom recovery ive tried this:
1:
Stock jb, rooted bl unlocked, twrp 2.6.3.0 flashed a cm11(epinter build, the one that doesnt require kernel 3.4 ) and also slimbuild, aosp etc, and it doesnt boot
2:
Stock kk,rooted, bl unlocked, tried all recoverys to see if theres the issue (cwm 6.0.4.4, twrp) the .zip flashes correctly (unified cm11with kernel 3.4)
And no luck, it never boots
To get the phone back to life, i flash a stock sbf and boots back everything normal. I cant figure out whats missing or whats my error.
