[Q] CM10 installation stuck at Asus logo

Hi guys,
I've tried and tried, but whatever I do with TWRP/CWM recovery, whether it be full wipes etc, I can't seem to be able to get CM10 to boot.
Was previously running 4.1.1 Jelly Bean, and from what I can gather, CM10 should be compatible according to the latest nightly builds. I'm using the latest TF300T nightly build from get.cm.
Every time I flash CM10, I get stuck at the non-animated Asus screen with it stating "This device is UnLocked", the Asus logo, and also has the Nvidia Tegra stuff on the bottom right.
Can never get past this point with any Cyanogen Mod build. Back to normal and working condition with a wipe and flash of rooted JB 4.1.1.
Please help me, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, I'm kind of new to android but should be able to handle some technical jargon
Cheers guys,
Axeon

No where in that thread does it say it's compatible, in fact it says the opposite at least 64 times. Not compatible once you're on the jellybean official

Coby Kyros MID8127

Hi guys,
I just bought a new Coby Kyros MID8127 tablet (A8, Android 2.3) for my friend.
Now, I want to flash a custom ROM with JB on it, but I just did not find any ROM, CWM or tutorial for that here at XDA (or elsewhere).
Is it possible, that there is no custom ROM for that tablet to have?
Thank you in advance.
Greetings,
sYCO

I have the same tablet and I bought a custom ROM from the people at KTZ, however, I could not install this ROM successfully, in order to install it I had to take the tablet to factory reset state and then delete a bunch of system applications to make room for the new ROM because the ROM does not allow you to install it from a formatted system partition (it's more like an upgrade). But when I finally installed the ROM it wuold not boot a second time; what that means is that, after installation the ROM boots normally but if I reboot it gets caught in a loop where I just see a blue disk spinning and it doesn't do anything else and the only way to get it out of that loop is to connect the USB cable and boot to recovery via adb and restore the backup that i did before flashing the new ROM. I tried to get help from the guy who makes these ROMs but he wasn't very helpful. I followed all his instructions and always got the same result.
I managed to install manually most of the components of this ROM through a long process of trial and error and left out the components that make the tablet misbehave and now I have a hybrid on my tablet which works pretty well with the exception of the wifi. The wifi works but at times is painfully slow.
I tried other ROMs from Android Tablet forums (check here). There is an ICS Rom there (or more than one, I don't remember) and also a JB ROM for the 8127 but I could not make them work on my tablet. The ICS ROM installed fine and runs very fast but it keeps freezing so I uninstalled. The Jelly Bean did not install properly and it was very hard to get the tablet to a working state after it bricked.
That was a while ago and I haven't checked lately if there is something else out there.

Hey Guys,
Just found this link. Maybe you can try it out and tell me if it works for you.

Sorry, I gave that tablet back and cannot test it anymore. I rather recommend to buy an Ainol Novo 7 Crystal. It is cheaper, better and ****ing fast with a nice custom ROM support like CM 10, CM 10.1, Paranoid 3.0, Crystal-Fuse, ...
Btw, KTZ sucks totally.

Can not install custome rom!!!

I am having some trouble here. I bought the TF300T pad for my wife several months ago. She is no longer using it so I decided to take it over. I wanted to unlock, root, and install a custom rom as I have done on my Galaxy S3. After a lot of searching and reading I finally got it unlocked and rooted. The problem is, I can not seem to get a rom to install and boot. It installs fine but will not boot. Just stuck on the Asus loading screen.
A little background on the procedure I took. First I found that I needed to unlock the bootloader before I could root. So I went to the Asus download site and got the V7 tool. I am on 4.2.1 when using unlock tool. I installed it and the pad says that it is unlocked. So I try to boot into recovery to do the rooting. When I get there I have the RCK but no USB icon. I boot into RCK but get the dead android. I do some more searching and finally get an answer. I just needed to stay on that initial screen to flash TWRP recovery. I also let TWRP root the device. Now it seems I cannot get a rom to boot. I have tried CM10 stable, CM10.1 nightly, and a couple others but cannot get a single one to boot.
Any ideas or advice would be helpful at this point.

Update: I was able to get KA05 CM10 Kang to install and boot. I guess I am just limited to builds that are based on 4.1.2?

I am in the same situation and haven't had any luck installing anything above 4.1.2. I am going to give KA05 a try tonight and see if it works.

KA05 worked for me. I wonder if the issue with installing 4.2 is related to using the old unlock tool V7?

I believe cm requires 4.1 bootloader but you have 4.2 bootloader right now. I dunno why kang works but people reported that cm doesn't work on 4.2 bootloader.

That is the conclusion I have come up with as well. Kang works pretty well, so I will stick with that for now. The only issue I have come up with so far is that I cannot turn off the search bar without getting error messages popping up. Other than that it works.

That is a question that has been nagging me ever since I installed it. After using version 7 to unlock I realized there was a new v8. I tried to use it but it will not install as I am already unlocked. Oh well. Kang works and will stick with that until I find a fix or find something else that will install.

[Q] Getting to Cyanogenmod 10.2 without bricking

I have a new tf300t with Android 4.1.1 on it and I have followed an older guide to unlock the device and it said to put clockworkmod on it and the Cyanogenmod forums indicate a problem with that, so I went TWRP instead. The twrp site said to pick the right version (-jb) and I did that.
I put 2.6.latest of twrp on and did a backup. Everything is going great. I rooted the device with SuperSU, Copied over CM 10.2.nightly and the right gapps version and it flashed fine. I booted in and I let it go for awhile and it just bootlooped. I went back into twrp and reflashed to ensure that wasn't an issue (same problem) and restored and I'm back to the beginning. I decided to try the 10.1 version on Cyanogen's site and had the same issue. I'm thinking it's the bootloader version doesn't match -- needs to be 4.2, but I want to be careful not to brick the device since a lot of people have done that.
Any guidance or pointing me at a thread would be appreciated. I have a feeling that letting the OTA update take place on the device kind of ropes me into a corner I might not want to be in. I'd really like to be on the latest Android OS *assuming* most of the tf300t features work. I can handle some odd things not working quite right.
Thanks,
Rich

Step1
It appears that my semi-direct path is to get to the newest [MINUS 1] version of 4.2.1 from Asus.
TF300T-US_epad-10_6_1_27_1-UpdateLauncher.zip
Many newer ROMS require this boot loader, and many people say to stick with the twrp 2.5.0.0 because 2.6.x.x is buggy. I can confirm that 2.6.x.x (latest), the mount feature does appear to be broken.
My only concern now is timing. Upgrade to 2.5.0.0 first, or upgrade using fastboot to the new Asus rom. It might not matter and I might need to put TRWP back on after the flash anyhow.
Also, I did root my current OS before doing this update, so it will be interesting to see if that remains intact.
Rich

Step3
I used fastboot to update and I thought I could apply the TWRP 2.5.0.0 update right after it, but it wouldn't take it. I was a little worried that I borked it. It booted and went into the OS and updated a bunch of things. I noticed my SuperSU was no longer root even though it was going to try and survive the update.
Also: I switched to the 4.2 Launcher... not sure I want my tablet to run just like my phone. I might switch back.
I'm still going to try and get to a CM 10.2 rom, it might not be an official rom though.
Rich

Step 4
I decided to see where things were at with a fully tweaked 4.2.1 rom before the 4.3 rom and picked
[ROM]★●[TF300T/G/L/201/301][CROMi-X 5.0.2][ODEX/DEODEX 10.6.1.27.1][SEP 8]●★
This looks very well done/well polished and has lots of people testing it. Will update as I head to 4.3.

Freeze and infinite loop after installing Custom ROM [SOLVED]

I just bought a TF700T and immediatelly decided to install a Custom ROM. I had a Motorola Xoom before, so I recognize that was a monster hard to brick, but in my first hours with this new child, I'm suffering quite a lot, so I decided to ask for help.
First, the tablet was at Android 4.1. I unlocked the booloader, then I installed a new Recovery Menu. From what I read, it seems that TWRP is the recommended one recently, so I took it (version 2.6.3.1).
In there, I tried to install a Custom ROM, PAC-man, I downloaded a non nightly image, a little over 170MB (So I guess it's full and not just some random update), wiped the tablet (Full), flashed, restarted and the custom loader started, but soon it froze and restarted. It was the first infinite loop.
Then I decided to get the nightly image. Did the same thing, wipe, flash, restart, got the same results.
Then I gave up from PAC-man, and got BAM Android. Got their RC version, wipe, flash, restart, loading screen, freeze, and restart loop.
So am I forgetting something that should be done for the TF700?

Your on 4.1, thus you have 4.1 bootloader. Those roms require a 4.2 bootloader. My recommendation would be to read through CROMI-X thread from sbdags for detailed instructions for upgrading.

Oh, what a relief, thanks for the extra note, I didn't knew even the bootloader has versions, but it seems that now I understand another doubt that I had, though unrelated to this case.
I'll give it a look, at first I was looking at the latest Xenogenesis 5 thread, but I just saw the previous version (4.7.0 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223492 ) and seems like I found my answer in the first post. I'll try it tonight.
Thanks for fast answer

Yeah, it worked, thanks.
Just installed the bootloader, and the ROM worked.
