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.

I have a tf300t(bought from US,I am a chinese),it isn't unlocked until update to stock JB(i update to 4.1.1from OTA,locked),but after unlocked,I flash the CWM 5.5.0.4,but it didn't work.Then i flash the TWRP 2.2.1.3 for JB only(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843694),it worked.But after i flash the fireware "ASUS-ICS-HYDRO-PONIC"(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750861),after reboot,the device hanged at the asus logo for a long time(i watched it for even 10 minutes.....),so i tried the stock rom(download from ASUS site,US_epad-user-9.4.3.30.zip)but it didn't word too.Now my tf300t can't boot to the OS,it only can get into the recovery(TWRP2.2.1.3 for JB).somebody help me......,I wonder if it is the update from OTA to cause my problem)
There are others in the same situation. Keep watch on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30516010
And others. There should be a fix soon to downgrade back to ICS and start over. Hang in there and be patience. At least you can get into TWRP so there's still hope.

yes it worked,my tf300t is unlocked,there is the word"this device is unlocked" on the asus logo screen.but it can't load os.
So I wonder if maybe you would have luck wiping and trying to install a jb based ROM like cm10? Since you're already on jb firmware its understandable that an ICS ROM fails... I'm by no means an expert but just someone considering an unlock after JB ota

Looks like partition sizes chaged with the Asus update. I couldn't flash CM10 or any other rom as well (signature mismatch). If you installed the official 4.1.1 update, you need to manually install it again. Older versions and rollbacks wont work unless you push to some trickery mmcblk0p4, but that's another thread in itself
Download the JB update from Asus's website (if you still have it, that's fine) and extract the blob file. Put the blob file in teh same directory as your fastboot. Boot your TF300 into bootloader and enter:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
It will take a while to install, so be patient. Hope this helps

Not yet. This fix is in the works. The new custom recoveries need to be modified for OTA JB first. Keep an eye on the development threads.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire using Tapatalk 2
So if you put all these steps together...
1. Update to JB using OTA
2. Unlock
3. Flash TWRP
4. Flash extracted blob
You have an unlock/custom recovery method for those of us on JB am I correct?

[TWRP&CWM/Install JB OTA from custom recovery] Jelly Bean OTA for Unlocked Devices
Hi guys,as you may know,if you unlocked your bootloader you won't be able to receive OTA's anymore so you have to wait for Asus to upload the firmware on their site.Or even better you can use your custom recovery to flash a modified OTA pack wich will update your device just fine.
Warning:
** I'm NOT responsible for any damage caused to your device by using these files so use them on your OWN risk.
** This update will also flash the Jelly Bean bootloader so if you are still on .26 bootloader and you didn't used the NvFlash tool yet,well,it's time to do it because after installing this update there's NO WAY to go back,yet.
** You Custom Recovery will be replaced by the Stock Recovery (You can install this CWM Recovery after installing JB)
** I only tested with TWRP but it should work with CWM recovery too
** Verify your MD5 checsum after download
Requirements
* Your device must be unlocked and rooted
* You need to be on STOCK 9.4.5.30 ROM with no modifications to system files (build.prop,etc) (no need to do the Factory Reset)
* Use OTA RootKeeper before installing this update if you want to keep ROOT
Installation
1) Download the file for your specific SKU
2) Move the downloaded file on your internal or external storage
3) Boot your device in Recovery
4) Install the update / That's it,wait for the install proccess to finish
NOTE: If you are getting errors and you are using CWM recovery try renaming the file (i.e TF700T WW_10.4.4.16-20120927 OTA.zip - - > TF700T_ WW_10.4.4.16-20120927.zip)
Download Links
WW_SKU --- > TF700T WW_10.4.4.16-20120927 OTA.zip ----- MD5 checksum: 9d4e1e91a08254256357eb2870d2df7d
US_SKU --- > TF700T US_10.4.4.16-20120927 OTA.zip ----- MD5 checksum: 4131cab5458153856185c43e05b67ebe

Because the update will fail to install if some system files are missing or beeing modified.Please don't try this on custom firmware,but if you do,just don't complain about it in case is failing or even worse.

Asus OTA updates aren't a complete replacement. Instead the update performs a patch to your existing files. A non-stock or non .30 version may cause a failure during the update process.
Truthfully if you're running an unlocked device you should wait for a ROM developer to make a new ROM and use that to update instead of trying to flash the Asus official update. It should only be 24 to 72 hours and a ROM won't do things like remove root or replace your custom recovery with the stock recovery.
Works 100% with CWM recovery!
Thanks a lot My friend!
I can also confirm, this method works! I`m on jelly bean now

Quoted for fiction
It's fine to flash if you are on stock .30. Replacing the recovery costs about 30 seconds, and replacing root on an unlocked device takes about 30 seconds as well. Then you can evaluate an Asus jb yourself before seeing a custom jb.

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)

This question might be posted somewhere else, and if so, I apologize.
I recently unlocked my TF700 and installed cwm. I didn't realize this would disable the OTA updates. Is it possible to re-enable the OTA updates while keeping cem installed? If not, what is the easiest way to uninstall cwm and re-enable the updates?
I am currently running the 10.6.1.14.8 firmware with a US sku.
Thanks in advance!

After unlocking you will not be able to receive OTAs anymore, not even if you flash back a full stock firmware. Unlocked bootloader = No more OTAs

Yes - but why would you run the stock firmware if you are unlocked and have a custom recovery???
Both CM roms or CROMi-X run circles around the stock rom.
But if you insist on running stock: You can flash the latest Asus firmware in your recovery (full disclosure: I have only used TWRP, don't know anything about CWM but assume it's the same - research it though).
CWM will be replaced with the stock recovery if you flash the full firmware, so you have to flash CWM or TWRP in fastboot again, then you can flash a Superuser package in your custom recovery to gain root.
But it would be so much easier to just flash a custom rom from your current setup - any specific reason you don't want to try it?

But if you insist on running stock: You can flash the latest Asus firmware in your recovery (full disclosure: I have only used TWRP, don't know anything about CWM but assume it's the same - research it though).
CWM will be replaced with the stock recovery if you flash the full firmware, so you have to flash CWM or TWRP in fastboot again, then you can flash a Superuser package in your custom recovery to gain root.
But it would be so much easier to just flash a custom rom from your current setup - any specific reason you don't want to try it?

+1 Couldn't have said it better myself. You've already unlocked - now make your tab better

Thanks for the quick reply. Will it still be possible to upgrade the firmware and still keep root?

You can forget about all the root keeping hassle after unlocking, you will be able to root anytime.

It was more a curiosity thing than anything. I haven't had much time lately so I was sticking to what was familiar. Once things slow down, I plan on playing around with custom ROMs to see what I like best. Do you have any recommendations?

Awesome! Thanks for the recommendation! I'll keep this in mind for when I get a chance!
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.

Thanks for the idea.
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.
