Just curious, did you flash the official Jb4.2 update before flashing CROMI?
And you did use the twrp in the CROMI 4.0 thread right?

During the steps in the guide to meet the requirements of CROMI 4, when you completed the 1st step "updating to 4.2.1" (before flashing twrp or CROMI 4) did the stock 4.2.1 boot ok?

Yeap

So stock 4.2.1 was running fine, just when you flash CROMI 4 it gets stuck at boot animation.
How long did you leave it trying on boot animation or did it stall/reboot?

Try reflash CROMI 4 but this time wipe system, cache and dalvik cache and format data, you can flash CROMI again with external sd

Also don't use the new CROMI bootanimation. It seems to be causing a very long boot time. I will remove it from the next version.

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?

as far as i know clockwork was not updated yet are you able to flash anything in twrp lets say a su zip on stock 4.2.1

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.

[Q] TF700 Stock Recovery

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?

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?

[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.

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.

CWM v6.0.4.5

So I'm running CWM 6.0.4.5 and was playing with 4.4 Roms but every time I try to flash a 4.3 or 4.2 I get am error (I think it was status 7) I thought CWM could flash any Android version. Or does CWM have the same issue TWRP has?

Is that the custom CWM or the regular one? I can't imagine why the regular one won't, but I don't really keep up with CWM.

I got it from @lj50036 but cant find the link he gave so I'm not sure....

And I can't restore my factory back up, it just boots to the Asus logo and sticks. But I can reinstall 4.4 roms and they work fine and I can restore them as backups.

Yea, I found it last night messing with my recovery. I haven't been able to succsesfully downgrade. I tried the old CWM and TWRP 2.5.0.0 but haven't been able to mount any storage again... but I reflashed that recovery and can mount things. I'm just going to stick with the CM 11 nightlys they seam stable enough.
