I had my tf300t unlocked and running cm9 and wanted to try the official Jelly bean update. I downloaded the update from Asus's website and installed it through cwm. I was then able to boot and run 4.1.1 but decided that I would rather run cm9, it simply felt faster to me. I rebooted and found that cwm was removed, so I booted into fastboot and re-flashed cwm. But now the tablet will no longer boot, it stays at the white asus logo and when I try to boot recovery by holding down power and volume down, nothing happens anymore. There is no way to get to fastboot or adb. How do I get to cwm and reflash cm9 now? Sorry if something has been posted before, I made several searches but found nothing similar.
You need fastboot. Try again. And fastboot the updated recovery for JB
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26533819
Then reflash the OTA JB. Then camp out on JB until there's new dev for the new JB mods.
There's no current way to go back yet. Hang tight bud.

Thanks, but I cant get the devices to fastboot anymore, when I hold down the volume down and power button nothing at all happens
You need to wait for nvflash.

i'm a damn tool and i'm hoping one exists to get my tf300t tablet running again
i had it running beautifully with cm10, then i decided i'm gonna install the touch clockworkmod, but i didn't read the thread properly it was for a stock jb rom, so now when i press the power button, i'm stuck on the asus boot logo with " this device is unlocked" text in the upper left corner, and when i push power + vol down it locks up at " booting bootloader recovery image" , i'm wondering if there is anything i can do to save my tablet or is it bricked and there's absolutely no way of fixing it, thanks for your time

how do i go about installing the non jb recovery? i can't access any type of recovery on the table to flash one, thanks
well i just found out by holding vol up and the pinhole reset button then 3 seconds release the reset button while still holding vol up, i can get my computer to detect apx mode
hopefully whith a NVflash version for the tf300t we can recover it
I've been trying to get my tf700 rooted for a while now to no avail. It was JB Stock and i'm having a ***** of a time lol. I went through the unlocking already (says device is unlock on boot) now I am having a hard time getting the recovery to be installed. I downloaded the goomanager, ran the install script and it says it worked. (yet when i go to boot to recovery vol down + power then vol up, i get "installing update" Error!". so im assuming i either don't have a recovery or a corrupt one at that. What do you smart nerdy awesome h4xors. what do.

Goomanager needs root to access your system file. You can use motochopper to get root and try Goo again to install the custom recovery...
This thread [SOLVED] imo.
Use Motochopper tool to root
Install and run GooManager to install TWRP custom recovery
Flash whatever you want in TWRP.

I'm in a bootloop mentally and technically! I've spent days trying to install Twrp, searching the forum, watching videos... Think I've tried most guides two or three times w/o success. From GooManager/Install OpenRecoveryScript it starts downloading and then aborts w/a "false MD5 blob" pop-up. When I tried to install directly I had a validated MD5.
This is not a very helpful description of the problem but I'm so brain-drained that I really can't recall all the different things I've tried. Amazed I've not bricked the thing! Am just hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
TF700T, v.4.0.3, Kernel 2.6.39.4.
I just checked the posts "suggested" last night when I posted in the wrong form and I've been to them all except the one about using motochopper to root and then using GooManager to install Twrp recovery. I'm already rooted. Should I unroot and reroot w/motochopper?

taaz69, having the same problem I had b/4 following the "Recovery Image/Fastboot Method" on the link you furnished:
When I boot into fastboot (power on volume down) the only options that appear are two icons, "Wipe Data" and "Android". There is no usb icon to select.
Following "ADB/Terminal method" with terminal emulator or with adb it seems to be doing something, but I still cannot boot into the bootloader...same two "Wipe Data" and "Android" icons.

You can download the Asus Unlock app V8 from Asus website.. You need to install it on your device and open it. It will walk you through the whole process. It is very quick and easy.. Good luck. :fingers-crossed:

Yeah, like LetMeKnow said, you have to unlock your tab using the Asus Unlock tool.
The info on the TWRP site is somewhat outdated and refers to the JB 4.1 bootloader. Under JB 4.2,
if you boot into the bootloader menu, you are already in fastboot mode by default. Under 4.1 you would select the USB icon to start fastboot. Oh, btw, if you boot with Power and Volme Down, you ARE in the bootloader...
I do hope you have RCK in addition to the Android and Wipe Data in your bootlaoder menu! Otherwise something is seriously wrong here!
Once you unlocked you will be able to use GooManager or the ADB method to flash TWRP.

IIRC the old 9.4.x bootloader used some other way to boot to recovery.
@cBirdR: if your firmware version is still 9.4.5.26 or earlier, be sure to read the thread about NVFlash *before* you install anything and create your blobs for unbricking.

The 9.4.x bootloader was alsmost the same as the new bootloader, the only difference is that it had 4 options (fastboot, recovery, coldboot and wipe data) instead of 3.And iirc if the device was locked the fastboot option (USB icon) was hidden but the recovery was always there (RCK icon).

@cBirdR: Did you see _that's post? Stop what you are doing and check your firmware version! If you have .26 or earlier, you are in a very enviable position! You cannot use NVflash on later firmware versions.

Well, I've finally got Twrp installed, but cannot reboot into recovery from GooMgr or Clock Mode, only via the bootloader. I was re-reading you guys' posts and your #7 says it all. No RCK. I tried downloading it with Clock Mod, indicated success but nothing changed.
Twrp's Reboot Menu only lists System and Power Off, no Recovery or Bootloader option. But Clock Mode Recovery says current recovery is TWRP. Is it time for me to head for the Twrp forum? I know it's time to donate.

I have not used Goo and CM. Therefore, I don't know what they have on their boot menu. About the TWRP reboot menu, there are only two options. One is System and other is Power Off.. If you want to boot into the bootloader, you need to use the power button + volume down when your device is in the off state. Also, if you have the latest bootloader, you should see three icons: RCK, Android, and Wipe..

Let me make sure I understand you correctly:
You have TWRP installed and can boot into it - correct?
Which version of TWRP?
I have no idea what Clock Mod is and I wouldn't use GooManager for anything but installing TWRP.
As _that said, the ICS bootloader may have had a different way to boot into recovery, I don't know - I did not have ICS on this tab ever. But if you can boot into TWRP (hopefully version 2.5, 2.6 will do in a pinch) it does not matter.
If all that is true, select 'Backup' in TWRP and make a nandroid of your current setup. And I assume you have backed up all personal data, pictures, videos etc to an external SD card anyway.....
Assuming you want to run a custom rom, go to the OP of the CROMi-X thread, download and flash the 10.6.1.14.8 bootloader/TWRP 2.5 package and then boot back into system which should happen automatically, but if it doesn't, just boot back into system once.
Boot back into TWRP, select 'Wipe' and swipe the button to do a factory reset. This is crucial. You do not want to install a JB 4.2.1 based rom without doing a factory reset first.
Go back to the Home page in TWRP, select 'Install', navigate to the CROMi-X 4.7 rom you downloaded to your external card and flash it.

I did get a backup last night using TWRP.
I've used Quick boot for years and cannot boot into recovery thru it...same result as when try to reboot into recovery w/GooMgr.

It is odd. RCK is a part of your bootloader. If it is not there, then something is wrong with your bootloader. It just my understanding about the bootloader. I am wrong so many times about the Android OS. So please don't take it seriously until some experts confirm it.. If you screw up your bootloader, I don't think there are many options for you to fix it. Now you still can access to it. I would suggest that you do a factory reset and download the full latest firmware from Asus website and update your bootloader.. It just my opinion. I am very sure some experts here will chime in and give you a better instructions or guides.. Good luck.
A couple of months back, I had unlocked the bootloader (I had stock 4.2.1) and rooted this tablet in order to put Cyanogenmod on it. The current version was CM10.2 (nightlies). I was able to update to different nightly versions and then to the stable 10.2 version. Recently, I saw CM11 nightly versions beginning to appear, so I thought I'd install it.
Using TWRP 2.6.1.0, I had been able to do all of my CM10.2 updating. However, with CM11, the initial flash didn't work (I did clear cache and Dalvik), and so I thought I had to update TWRP. I downloaded TWRP 2.6.3.0 for the TF300T (both .img and .blob) and tried to fastboot them to my device. .img did not work, but then the blob fastboot was able to install TWRP, however, there was a password lock. Reading about this online, I thought I just had to reflash TWRP 2.6.3.0. I tried that and got the same password issue.
Then, I thought that CWM would be a better option (although I thought I may have seen things about it not playing well with the 4.2.1 bootloader...). I flashed a version of that (not exactly sure what version... (which may be the source of my problem) but it was for the TF300T...). Then, upon rebooting, it got stuck on the ASUS loading screen (with "The Device is UnLocked." in the corner). So then I tried rebooting into the recovery, but then I couldn't access the recovery menu from power + vol. down buttons anymore.
Basically, what I can do now is restart the tablet (via holding the power button or pressing the reset slot), but it always gets stuck on the ASUS screen, or I can enter APX mode, but don't think that'll do much good since I don't have nvFlash installed...
Is my tablet bricked?
Thanks in advance!
PS - I saw some solutions that required opening up the tablet. I would be okay with doing that, but only as a last resort!

Try using fastboot to install this version of TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48512729&postcount=16
It will only work if you were on 10.6.1.15 or above. It allows flashing CM11.

The thing is, I can't get into fastboot the typical way; pressing power and volume down does not go into the fastboot mode like it did before. I can get into APX mode, though. Can I use that to flash a recovery? I haven't been able to find a way of doing that yet…

No, you need nvflash backups to use APX mode. Since you can't get to the recovery menu, I can't think of any other solutions....?
Same here
I'm in the same state after trying to update from 10.2 to 11. Just sits at the ASUS logo screen. No fastboot or recovery. I can get it to turn off by holding the up volume and inserting a paper clip into the reset switch hole. Otherwise I have been totally unsuccessful in getting it to do anything else. At this point I'm not adverse to opening it up. Do you have the link to the solution you found that required opening the tablet? Maybe I'll give it a try.
