Hello,
my tf700 doesn't finish the boot after I've installed CM.
Before flashing a new rom I've tried to make a system back-up from GooManager.
I don't know if the back-up is fully functional because in the "Breaking back-up in multiple archives" it has remained stuck at 100% (or complete progress bar) for like an hour.
After an hour or so I've interrupted the back-up process and entered the TWRP Recovery v2.5 (which I'm still able to access at the moment) and tried to flash a ROM downloaded by GooManager (cm-10.0.0-tf700t.zip). I've wiped the Dalvik cache and Cache in the process.
The flash seemed to be successful but the reboot doesn't finish, even though I've let it for two hours or so.
After that I've reentered the TWRP and tried a different rom cm-10.1-20130513-NIGHTLY-tf700t.zip, but with similar result, after installation it doesn't finish the boot.
I've reentered the TWRP and tried restoring the back-up. It did restored the system, passed the "configuring application" stage and gave the message "Finishing boot" and nothing afterwards, it just stuck in the process.
Right now I'm still able to enter TWRP, and navigate through the folders on the tablet, but I don't have a functional rom.
Can you please help me with some advices?
Thank you.
Which ROM did you have before, and which bootloader version?

Before that I had the stock ROM with the latest OTA firmware from Asus.
I don't know what was the initial version of the bootloader.
I've unlocked the device using Asus apk
I've pushed the TWRP on the tablet using the TF700T-ADB- Tool v3
I've granted super user rights from TWRP, I think using SuperUser application.
Ive installed from market GooManager and after that I've done what I've described in the previous message.
Thanks for your prompt answer.
Maybe CM is confused by existing data - did you wipe data (factory reset) as written in the CM instructions?

No, I didn't. I've just wiped the Dalvik cache and Cache.
If I do wipe data, I will still have user data, like downloaded ZIP ROMs or GAPPS zip?
I mean, at the moment I'm still able to try different ROMs and kind of operate the tablet. If I do wipe the data and is something wrong with the flash will I be able the try something else? Before I wipe existing data should I take other precautions?

From what I've read (but never tried myself), a "Factory Reset" is supposed to delete all your apps, app data and system-specific data, but not the contents of your internal emulated SD card. Your ROM and recovery are definitely not affected. But I'd wait until someone else can confirm.
It seems strange that the back-up isn't fully working either, it gets stuck after "Finishing boot".
I've noticed somtheing while flashing the two CM ROMs. On the instalation, of each of the two, it was a message that the MD5 is being checked, and after that that MD5 is missing and the check is being skipped. The instalation did continued and the message "Instalation succesful" was given.
But I don't know if it's alright not findind the MD5.

I've checked on other sources and the wipe data seems to leave intact the user data.
But I'm still wondering at what state the tablet will be reseted since I've tried flashing to different ROMs and the back-up restore didn't work quite properly.
The last functioning ROM is still available from other means that restore back-up (which doesn't work) even though I've tried flashing new ROMs over it?

The missing MD5 file is not a problem. If it says "installation successful", you can assume that it is.

Your backups not working is somewhat strange, but that's another area where I have very limited experience.
You said you were on the "latest OTA" stock ROM. Was that 10.4.4.25 (Android 4.1) or 10.6.1.14.4 (Android 4.2)? Also check the bootloader version - boot into the bootloader menu with holding volume-left, then read the tiny text near the top of the screen. It should contain the build number of your bootloader, which is identical to the build number of the stock ROM until you flash one of them separately.

It's Android 4.2.1: "Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "WW_epad-10.6.1.14.4-20130329" A03"
Right now the tablet is left with the attempted back-up recovery. Should I enter TWRP and do the wipe data or wipe data from the bootloader menu?
Or is something else that I should do first?
Ok, I did wipe the data, and even though it erased the user data too (media, docs, zip files etc) it restore the tablet to cyanogen mode not the original stock ROM. It finished the boot restore my gmail account. SuperUser is updated. And it seems the overall responsiveness is better.
Thank you for your time and advice!

OK, your bootloader is the latest one, and it works with Android 4.1 and 4.2 ROMs. There have been several reports of unrecoverable bricks after using "wipe data" from the bootloader menu with a broken or incompatible recovery - so even if your recovery works fine, I would not recommend to take any unnecessary risk.
If you have any important data on your device it would be a good idea to store a backup on an external microSD card, just in case you do wipe all data by accident or something unexpected happens.

I'm surprised that after wipe data procedure it restored the system to a cyanogen mode not the original rom. I'm surprised by this because the last functional ROM was the stock one and because after flashing the last zip with CM ROM I've tried to restore the back-up ROM. Even though it didn't finish the boot, this back-up seemed to be installed over the previous CM ROMs. I'm not sure what happened, why I do have a CM ROM functioning, even though I did tried to install it I don't know why it managed to be installed.
If you have little more time and you know what happened here please let me know.
Thank you again!

The ROM and your data are completely separate. If you install a ROM and it says "install successful", the ROM is installed. "Wipe data" does not touch the ROM. However your data can prevent the ROM from starting up correctly. Apparently the restore fixed something in your data partition so that the last ROM that you installed can now boot.

That means the TWRP didn't actually restore the ROM from back-up even if it did say the restore was successful...The last installed ROM was a CM one.
Thanks for the help!
Hi guys, I have rooted and unlocked my TF700 few days ago. Currently with CWM recovery and CM10.1. I would like to change to Cromi-X for its faster performance. I am pretty new to this kind of stuff. From the Cromi-x TF700 developer page, it says TF700 user should be on stock 4.2.1. before flashing this ROM. Is there other way of doing it? What are the instructions to do so? Factory reset using custom recovery? install TWRP and bootloader? Step-by-Step instructions would be the best! Thank you so much! Would really appreciate it.:laugh::laugh:
FIY: I was on stock 4.2.1 before flashing CM10.1.

Thanks a lot for your swift reply LetMeKnow! Yea that was the forum I was talking about. Just that I am not quite sure about few things in the OP.
From the OP:
"STEP 2 TF700 ONLY – I have a custom recovery installed but not the latest bootloader
If you are currently unlocked and on a JB 4.1.1/10.4.4.25 based custom rom like CleanROM Inheritance 3.x and have a custom recovery installed:
I recommend you install the appropriate Bootloader Recovery package below as the safest route to upgrade to CROMi-X. This can be flashed from any custom recovery "
1) I am on 4.2.1, can I still proceed with the same method?
2) So I am supposed to flash TWRP and bootloader using the CWM recovery that I already have? Or should I use the fastboot command method? Just to make sure as I don't wanna brick my tablet.

I would love to help you further but I never use CWM. Therefore, it would be safe if someone has a better knowledge to help you out. _that, Sbdags, and others will have a good answer for you. They are very active in helping others users like you and me..
You can flash latest Cromix on top of CM10.1 even if you are using CWM (btw using CWM for CM roms is not mandatory,TWRP will work fine too).
I do recommend a clean install ( factory restore before flashing Cromi) but you could also try a "dirty" flash ( so your apps are not wiped) first and see if all works fine.
On a side note you should also try the CM10.2 experimental build,it's working nice here .

Thank you so much Pretoriano! Would carefully proceed to flash it tonight, hopefully nothing will go wrong. In your opinion, do you think Cromi-X has better performance(in terms of speed and smoothness) over CM? Because I still find lags and what not in CM10.1.

Not using Cromi-X so i can't tell but you should try different roms yourself, trust me on that.But don't expect miracles from any rom,this device it is what it is.sometimes works nice then at some point starts to lag,self-reboot and act like crap.Latest CM10.2 looks good so far but the best way to prove it is to install all your usual apps and use it for some time,then decide if it's a keeper.
As for Cromi-X or other roms,i don't know if Journaling is disabled by default,but if it is keep in mind that is just a workaroud which trade stability for performance.
Personally i've build a custom rom for myself based on Asus firmware,removed some bloatware,patched to have the advanced power menu,used some init.d scripts wich you can find here on XDA and honestly performs just fine,no dangerous tweaks applied or task manager.

You definitely should switch to TWRP recovery. It's working fine with both CM and stock based roms like CROMi-X, whereas there have been issues if you use CWM with stock based roms.
You do have to do a clean install if you go from CM to CROMi-X.

You always should do a nandroid backup of your old setup/rom before you flash anything new.
In TWRP 'Factory Reset' is the default selection under the 'Wipe' menu. It will wipe your /data partition except for your /data/media/ folder where your personal stuff lives.
Naturally, you should have a backup of all your stuff anyway!
Data nor backed up is data not yet lost
Edit: To literally answer your question: A clean install is wiping data and system partitions as well as cache and Dalvik. If you flash CROMi-X (and I believe that's true for most custom roms), the system partition will get formatted before the new rom installation as part of the installation process. Wiping Cache and Dalvik is the default when installing CROMi-X, so you don't need to do that either. Just factory reset before flashing and you'll be good.
If you want to go squeaky clean, you would do a format data in TWRP (under the Wipe > Advanced menu). But that will erase your entire data partition, so you definitely have to have everything you care about backed up.

That's a very clear explanation from you!:good::good: Certainly helps me a lot. One last question berndblb, can I flash TWRP over my current CWM directly(worry that it will cause or brick or whatsoever) before doing a factory reset? Or it is advisable to do a factory reset using CWM only then I flash the TWRP? Sorry if my question sounds dumb, because I am really new to all these stuff.

Your first step should be to replace the CWM recovery. A factory reset only affects your data partition - no need to do that in CWM.
The main thing is that you have at all times a compatible bootloader/recovery combination. If you have the 10.6.1.14.4 or 10.6.1.14.8 bootloader, you can download GooManager, tap the 3 dots in the upper right corner and select "Install Open Recovery Script". It will install the latest TWRP version 2.6 over CWM. I am not sure if your CM version is compatible with TWRP 2.6 - so better check on that.
But once you have TWRP installed, you can proceed as described earlier.
Your questions are absolutely fine. Read everything you can find 5 times, ask 3 times, flash once - if and when you're sure! :Good:
One more thing: If you decide you do a factory reset or format data in TWRP, make sure you have the rom you want to flash (and I highly recommend CROMi-X 4.7) on your external microSD - it's safer that way. You may have to navigate to your microSD in TWRP under the 'Install' menu. By default TWRP shows your internal SD. Just tap that field and navigate to your external, select the CROMi-X zip and flash it.
The microSD has to be FAT32. It you never changed the factory format, you're good.

You can flash twrp on top of cwm no probs. I do it all the time. CROMi-X does work fine on cwm 6.0.3.0+
You will 100% need to wipe data (factory wipe good enough) before flashing CROMi-X. Good luck.

Please explain this further to me. My problem is with 4.2.2 ROMS. The fix above is for folks having issues with 4.3 ROMS. Are you suggesting that doing this will also fix my 4.2.2 problems? This is also CWM while i run TWRP. I did a quick look and the two are setup a little difference. I played around with those highlighted instructions and almost accidentally wiped my only backup of my previous state. I actually thought i was toast but somehow i reloaded and went back to my old backup state.

i could be wrong, but in my opinion having the exact same issue even though its a different version, one of the 2 fixes in that thread should work.
the first fix likely doesn't directly apply although i suggest you ensure you have the latest version of your recovery of choice found here http://www.mediafire.com/download/tt7cwwua49n24uv/Razr_HD_Recovery_Flasher_V7.rar
second fix (backup ALL data you don't want to loose first as noted above), then do a full wipe as listed above, not just a fdr that doesn't wipe everything on the internal card.
the problem at this point is, you are assuming it wont work because of version differences, i am assuming it will. until you try it, i don't see any point in exploring other options, if there are any.
Dirty flashing when you go to different ROMs is generally not a good idea. Even on 4.2.2, it leaves residual data behind. There's a reason that the devs talk about doing complete wipes in their ROM threads, and there's a reason that they tell you not to talk about bugs unless you use their install directions.

Nice! Glad to see you got it working.
HI, i have been having isues with my asus tf101 baterry, about one month ago it suddenly charge and discharges, like: 10%-25%-40%-70%-80%-100%...I made a factory reset but nothing. 2 weeks ago, it solved alone, without do anything, and was ok for 2 weeks, now again i have the problem..
i have installed cwm recovery, i want to change to android revolution rom, to see if the problem finish:
1 question: How i change from cwm to twrp recovery? installing twrp from cwm using a zip? is there no problem?? or downloading goomanager, installing recovery script?? Is there any problem to use cwm or twrp( i have read, to instal kk i dont use cwm)?
2 question, what rom is stable to try to solve this? i see kk 4.3 etc, but i just one my baterry works ok...
3 question, is there any way to clean absolutely the stock rom? i tried wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset(again) but nothing solve.
4 question, is possible to wipe ALL including system, and install the asus stock rom using zip¿?
Thanks for your atention, please be the most specifically possible because i am new on this, and i just one my tablet for study(read books).
I have a asus tf101 b70 root, with CWM recovery is a old version 5.0.26 something..

Q1: I think you can just flash the new recovery via the current recovery if you have the new recover zip file.
Q2: Kat Kiss works fine for me.
Q3: If you want to completely return to stock, you would have to use NVFlash. There are tons of instructions on the Dev thread. I primarily use Tubuntu for flashing with NVFlash. [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995157]
You can find other images as well. I used a stock image once to RMA the tablet but now I'm not sure where I got it. This method will ensure that every bit in your memory is exactly as it left the factory. Including the bootloader, recovery partition and everything else.
Q4: Refer Q3.
Download flashable TWRP 2.6.3.11 zip for TF101:

You should use TWRP for KatKiss ROMs, do not use CWM
Flash that Zip from CWM then reboot fully into your current ROM, then reboot into Recovery to check it has flashed properly
From TWRP you can wipe everything and flash KatKiss & Gapps

Is this the same process for going from TWRP to TWRP? just "install" the newest version from recovery and do the reboots?

Yep, so long as you reboot into your ROM after flashing the new TWRP before booting back into recovery
Thanks for your reply, i will tray soon. So i want to clean the asus stock room to see if battery goes ok, i tried wipe data, cache, dalvik, with cwm, but nothing.
If i install twrp what more options can i try before change the rom? what more wipe do i need?? and finally, if i change the rom, is possible to go back to asus stock just flashing from recovery? or how should i do?
Apart from wiping the ROM (SYSTEM) there's not much else you can wipe, you could try wiping the same as you have already done, but from TWRP, see if that makes any difference, maybe the battery is coming to the end of its life
You can flash stock ASUS ROMs back again from TWRP yes, but you will wipe your recovery & ROM back to 100% stock by doing it
Best thing to do is to make a full Nandroid Backup from TWRP before flashing any custom ROMs, save it to MicroSD Card, then if you want to go back to the way it is now, just restore the backup from TWRP
That way you keep TWRP and can switch between as many ROMs as you like and always have your stock backup to go back to whenever you want

Thanks!! I will try, but apart from wipe system(rom) what more wipes can i try without erase the rom?..I think not, because a week ago the battery was perfect working...i hope so.
CACHE,
DALVIK CACHE,
FACTORY RESET,
INTERNAL STORAGE,
FORMAT DATA
Only other 2 options are SYSTEM & EXTERNAL STORAGE
I'm having an issue with an app and I've tried everything I can think of to troubleshoot it, Uninstall/re-install. Turn phone off/on, restart phone.
I was thinking of trying a reset on my phone, but it's currently rooted/unlocked.
Will doing the reset under settings give me any issues?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
If you have a custom recovery installed like twrp or cwm you can do a full wipe from there and it will essentially do the same thing.

No it wont.
I also have the same question. Did you do the reset? Lose root? What happened?

Yes it will. And if you think it won't a little more elaborate post would be helpful...... ?????
I would not do a factory restore from Settings with a custom recovery installed. I have never tried this on the M8 but on the Transformer tablets that can get you into a nasty "forced reboot to recovery" loop.
If it's an app causing the problem, just do a Factory Wipe in recovery. In TWRP the Factory Wipe will wipe all your apps and their data (not your personal files in data/media though) and also cache and dalvik. Not sure how CWM handles that option....
Read the recovery log while it's running or save the log from the Advanced option and check afterwards which partitions the recovery wiped.
For good measure re-flash the rom and you should be good to go.
