Im going to assume since your coming from honeycomb that your using an older recovery? if so try TWRP or a newer CWM

[BRICK WARNING] TWRP loop brick by wipe-data on JB firmware

Managed to brick up my tablet good, thought i'd describe the "symptoms" and what I was doing when it happened to prevent it happening again.
I was on:
Firmware: 10.4.4.16
Recovery: TWRP 2.2.2.0
Description:
I was attempting to get root, however TWRP does not work with the new firmware/bootloader version. I wanted to do a factory reset of my data, but TWRP would not let me. I booted into the bootloader menu (voldown + on) and selected data-wipe option. The tablet then rebooted into TWRP but nothing happened.
I have tried to reboot after this but it will not load Android, it just loops into TWRP recovery
I have tried to boot into fastboot, but It will not even load the bootloader menu, it just loops into TWRP recovery
I have tried to flash stock firmware using TWRP but it does not work because i'm running the crappy new firmware!
Anyone got any ideas? I think this one is for Asus :/

are you trying to flash ics or jb?
i would stick with jb at this point.
do you have any backups? one guy said he was able to restore cm10 with twrp.

and if you don't have a backup you can restore, you can always wait for the next version of twrp to be released and try flashing that first. you still have options!

did you activate NVFLASH? please tell me you did!
you can always jump back to the .26 stock bootloader (or TWRP/CWM if you had one of those installed at the time)
there is an unofficial 6.0.1.4 version of CWM Recovery posted and I used that no problem with Official JB to re-root after the update.
you do need fastboot access to install it though, so without NVFLASH and the ability to downgrade your bootloader... um... yeah, you're kinda borked. sorry.

No backups.. :/

Yeah hopefully they will release a flash able version... if only I could revert to the stock recovery through twrp

Boot into fastboot and try flashing the unofficial cwm recovery! If you have recovery, you should absolutely have fastboot. I would really recommend that you try to stay away from the official recovery since it isn't quite as "feature rich" as cwm/twrp... Good luck,have fun!
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda premium
Edit. Woah, reading failure... are you completely sure you're doing it right? The new jb boot loader menu is different. You don't wait for a secondary menu, you just vol-down to select the USB icon then vol-up

Make that two. Same as you, tried to get root, wiped data, BRICK. Get TWRP each time, every time unless I hold VOL UP which of course goes to APX mode.
No fastboot, can't flash ROMs, tried the whole "dd if=/sdcard/blob /dev/block/mmcblk0p4" thing and it reboots the tablet automatically. Flashing a ROM gives "E:cannot mount /data".
"ls /dev/block" command from adb shell only shows /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 and /dev/block/loop0-9.
Bricked and bricked good!

Bugger. I'll give it a week then rma, I've still got adb through twrp..

ok do this, boot into TWRP, adb push my CWM recovery, dd if=cwm-recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9, it should flash the CWM Recovery, or you can do it using via fastboot as well. Then flash the .30 zip, remember now .26, but only .30, wipe data, wipe cache, reboot

DId the dd command complete correctly?
Also try this:
1) download .30 blob from asus website
2) unzip it twice till you have a blob file
3) adb it to device
4) dd if=blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
5) reboot and wait for the flash to complete.

Yes it completed.
The blob reboots the tablet 5 seconds after the dd command is entered.

I could provide you a flashable zip with the stock recovery, send me a PM if you are interested.

I've been having similar issues after installing JB woith recovery. I wanted to wipe data but glad I wasn't able to after reading this thread. I don't understand how some people have managed to upgrade and still seem to have full access to twrp

My understanding is that TWRP is *not* compatible with Jelly Bean! It may install, but it doesn't work right. Stay away....
I have been unable to get the "unofficial" CWM recovery installed at all - everything looks like it works during the install, but I still get the stock recovery. Strange...

Can't Flash CROM 4.1 please help!

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

Put them anywhere on the sdcard. TWRP lets you select the ZIP file, when selecting "install".
You can even select multiple files into a queue and then flash them in one go.
Be sure to wipe everything from TWRP, including cache, data (factory reset) and system.
Note that this will not wipe the contents of your sdcard (at least the version for BL 4.1 won't).

Yes, currently CROMi is one of the two ROMs supporting BL 4.2.
Just make sure to pick the right version (4.3b6 seems OK).

Just something to take note of is you said that you installed twrp 2.4.4.0, I hope you meant the patched 2.4.4.0 - 4.2 version which is the only compatible twrp version for the 4.2.1 bootloader.
All other version of twrp for the tf300 will ask for password and will not be able to mount partitions which in about 90% of cases will cause the device to brick - fastboot will no longer be able to flash anything http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179874

Yes that's the guide you want, follow that and you should be fine.
As to the roms you can flash on the 4.2.1 bootloader, you have only the following choices at the moment:
- CROMi-Xenogenesis 4.2 by sbdags, or you can go with the 4.3 beta , up to 4.3b6 at the moment (I'm using b6 now)

[Q] Tab is slow and not smooth enough? Maybe custom ROM?

Hi,
my TF300T has the latest 4.2 factory firmware (10.6.1.27.5). The tablet is rooted but the bootloader is NOT unlocked. Whatever I do the device is still laggy and quite slow. (I already tried factory reset, cold boot, etc.)
I've got the conclusion that I may flash a custom ROM, but similar to the factory one (the tab is used by my wife who doesn't like new systems to learn...)
Any suggestions what to do, which ROM to try?
Thanks in advance!

CROMi-x is a supercharged custom stock Rom you could try.

Am I right thinkig that I have to unlock botloader first before flashing the proper TWRP anyway? Or can I flash the TWRP with locked bootloader too?

No, you must unlock the bootloader first, then flash the correct version of TWRP according to your stock ROM, and then flash CROMi-x and GApps.

OK, thanks again.
