[Q] Can't install CleanRom 4.3, freezes on boot - Asus Transformer TF700

I cannot install the latest CleanRom... It freezes on booting. It does tell me that it's been successfully installed.
I have used the GOOMANAGER to install the TWRP V2.5.0.0 and downloaded the CROMI and the TF700_421_US_Flasher_signed.zip for the updated boot . The TWRP does not recognize the TF700....._signed.zip even though it's in the same folder as the CleanRom file, so I can't flash that. Any idea what's going on?

Check the file again (file size), sometimes is file you copied is not good (0kb). I don't know where you downloaded the file but try from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2223492 (included bootloader and twrp in one package).

[Q] Install CWM but SU doesn't work

I can't install CWM. I know there's that recovery installer apk but my transformer says there was a problem parsing the package. I don't know of any other way. I also tried unrooting my tablet by flashing a WW stock rom and stock recovery but Superuser stayed and it doesn't even work. It's basically all messed up. Can someone help me please?
Since you went back to stock ROM, do wipe data from boot menu and root again with Vipermod, and then try running the recovery installer apk.
What firmware are you on? That message is either a bad download or your firmware is not compatible with the apk.
Now you also say you flash WW ROM and stock recovery, how did you flash it without cwm?

8.2.3.13. I flashed them when I still had CWM and fully rooted.

Yeah you flashed the repacked ROM. That's pretty outdated firmware. You need to manually update to the latest ICS (if it doesn't auto update), use ViperMod to root and RecoveryInstaller for CWM.

How do I manually update? Is that when you go into settings and stuff and check to see if you have the latest software? Cause I do that and it says that I already have the latest version.
I tried updating manually but it didn't work. I guess I should include that I tried deleting the superuser files from /system/bin/su and /system/xbin/su. I deleted the one in the xbin because there wasn't one in the bin. It's still messed up.

[Q] Root and firmware update

Hello everyone
I've rooted my tf300t with cwm recovery (installed "root-signed.zip" from boot-menu).
The tablet had stock rom version .17 before i rooted, and still has.
Now, in the lower right corner, there is a notification that says that a firmwareupdate is ready to be installed. Will it be wise to install?
I've read that many loses root if they update, so i don't know what to
do... Is it better to download the update-file from asus.com and install it manually?
Download and install ota rootkeeper from the play store. Make sure you backup your root correctly with this before you proceed with the update. After the update, open up rootkeeper and restore root.
I hope I'm correct but I believe if you installed CWM the update will never work because the stock recovery will find the update and apply it automatically, but CWM won't. So you'll download the update, it'll reboot but never apply. In http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1714727&page=10 someone seems to have a link to a ZIP you can apply. But you need to re-install CWM and root though.

Actually, that is correct. OTA updates will only work with stock recovery. If you have CWM recovery, OTA won't work. You will have to manually install the update.
But I thought that I had to have stock .17 to root?
If I update to a newer version, will I still be able to root?
Not anymore...check out the develpment section to read up on the latest root methods for the latest firmware.
Yup, I side loaded the .30 update with CWM then I no longer had root and I no longer had CM recovery. All is good with my official update installed though, despite being unlocked. So I am happily working to re-install CM recovery and then re-root. It's an orderly procedure, so I will get started on that next.
Done and done.
So follow the ClockworkMod instructions if you are unlocked. You simply repeat the steps to install the CM recovery and then use the CWM just installed to root again. All is well.
Asus may or may not have patched the Sym-linking exploit Wolf first found.
You can attempt running his exploit to root the new firmware, but this is only if you were unwilling to unlock your bootloader, if it's unlocked you can just use CWM.
The 9.2.2.6 patch apparently broke OTA rootkeeper for the TF101G, so take care.
Thank you so much for good support guys!
The tab is unlocked (if not, it had not been possible to install cwm recovery)
I've now downloaded the .30 update zip from asus.com, which brings me to my next question, how do I install it manually?
I've unziped the file once and placed it in the root dir on the sd-card and rebooted.
A triangle appeard in the notification bar. Pressed it, and it rebooted again automatically. But but this time it booted into cwm recovery...(?) From here i pressed "Install zip from sd-card" and then "Choose zip from sdcard" but it seems like my sd-card cannot be found.
I only have the option to choose from internal storage. Should I have placed the firmware update in internal storage instead?
Yes. Neither recovery has support for an external SD card right now. You must use internal storage.
But should I run te update through cwm recovery?
If you make it a CWM flashable .zip you can do that, or if your CWM supports OTA updates, (extract the .zip once, inside should be another .zip, this is what you flash in CWM)
Or you could manually flash through the staging partition using adb or terminal emulator, this would support ext SD.
Code:
su (Grant root Permissions)
dd if=/sdcard/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
(or /Removable/MicroSD/Blob, wherever you put it)
reboot
mmcblk0p4 is the staging partition for the TF101, if it is the same use that for the TF300t, but I'm not 100% sure till I look at a partition table listing, it's probably 0p4 though.
To install the .30 update you have to have Downloaded it from somewhere - like ASUS.
It needs to be unzipped from it's original to the standard update file name ex: US_epad-user-9.4.3.30.zip This apparently still "zipped" file is the only file contained inside the one that I downloaded. This file must be placed on the root of the sdcard (internal Storage) of the tf300. You reboot into CM recovery and instruct it to update from sdcard where this file is to be found. This is what I meant in a previous post by "sideloading". You are essentially manually installing this update. The tf300 will behave as if you have installed this update normally i.e OTA and reboot to install itself. Once this update is installed it overwrites the ability to use CM recovery and your tf300 is also no longer rooted - so you have to do that all over again. Your tf300 however remains with it's bootloader unlocked so this is the method that we use instead of "Over The Air" updates. The procedure to continue to re-install CM recovery and to root it is in another post:

Hope I have made things more clear,

Wow! Thank you sooo much for taking it step by step
I tried it, and it went very well! :victory:
But one last thing; there is still a update-reminder in the notification-bar
This is the same notification that have been there since the first time I connected to the internet, before rooting and all that.
When I press the notification, all I can choose is "postpone" or "install update"...
A re-boot should clear that up.
Nope, I've rebooted several times already, but it's still there...

Try to clear your cache and reboot.
And don't forget that you have an Index for the TF300 in the Dev Forum for help you or download

Have done that too. Booted the tab by pressing power+volume down and it started a "cold boot". Maybe there's another way also? I have cwm recovery btw...

TWRP Recovery

Hello, I am having some problems installing a working recovery, here is my story... So first the device was 10.6.1.27.5 and its unrootable, so i downgraded to 10.6.1.15.3, where I installed TWRP recovery, and flashed CM 10.2 ROM, but it was too glitchy, so i wiped all data, and fastbooted 10.6.1.15.3 build and stock ROM. So I am now stock,
I am rooted using MottoChop method, and I cant install a custom recovery... I tryed to install TWRP 2.5.0.0 thats the version I was on before, and also tied 2.6.3.0, when flashing the .blob My device turns unresponsive, even when rebooting it with fastboot.
So left with no choice i tried flashing the .img one for JB, (Note: It is currently NOT a OTA update, but manual, so i used the 4.2 first)
I was Able to Flash the custom recovery 2.6.3.0 JB.img and it booted up and worked fine, but then it couldnt mount anything,
I was getting error message:
E: Cant mount /data
and so on... I then tried to flash 2.5.0.0 and got the same result.
GooManager cant find a recovery script for this device...I flashed the TF300T, since thats the kind i have not TF300TG
Im really lost now... I tried ClockworkManager to find a recovery and it said the same thing, I dont want to flash a CWM with flashboot since i here It is terrible.
Any Help Is greatly Appreciated
I notice that alot of these problems, I end up fixing myself... I fixed the issue
But If anyone ever comes into the same situation, heres the fix...
UPDATE to 10.6.27.5 (Yes newest version) Im using US...
Install openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob IMPORTANT dont flash the JB version because its only for OTA updates
Open recovery and TWRP will prompt you to install, and beleive it or not, but apparently you can root the newest version,
Just not With MottoChopper and other quick root methods!
If you have any more question, post!

[Q] TF300T TWRP 2.6.3.0 problem

My TF300T is unlocked, rooted, and I used Terminal Emulator to install TWRP 2.5.?.? can't remember. Reboot, and used GooManager to reboot into Recovery. Then I made a backup, rebooted, and started reading up on Roms to flash. Learned I needed TWRP 2.6.3.0 for a KitKat rom, so I downloaded the blob and used Terminal Emulator again to update TWRP and reboot.
Now when I boot into recovery, it shows that I'm on version 2.6.3.0, but I cannot make a backup. There are no drives mounted, nor are any partitions listed. I went into Restore, and nothing is there either. Then I went into Install, and tried to install a new rom, but the zip files are not viewable.
Reboot, System... and now I'm here trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong. I downloaded the TF300T version of TWRP 2.6.3.0 blob again and used Terminal Emulator again to flash it, and everything is the same.
Suggestions??

You need TWRP 2.6.3.2 to install a KitKat ROM. Just make sure you are on the 10.6.1.15 nootloader and above before flashing that.

I'm on the 10.6.1.27.5 bootloader. I previously downloaded Scanno's TWRP file, but inside the zip was an img file and not a blob file. I didn't know what to do with it and figured I better learn a little more before I do something foolish.

You can flash an img file from Terminal Emulator or Fastboot like any other blob. It is compatible with 10.6.1.27.5

[Q] stuck on TWRP 2.5.0.0 + cannot install cm11

lets get down to business,
I'm currently running CM10.2.0 with TWRP 2.5.0.0 as recovery, I recently tried updating to latest CM11 M4 snapshot but received the following error:
"error executing updater binary"
I read that i need to update recovery (2.6.3.0 latest) but encountered a roadblock.
I downloaded the .img to internal memory in root directory and used the terminal emulator as per TWRP instructions, rebooted into recovery but it still showed 2.5.0.0. I then tried using ADB but ran into the same issue
I've thought about using CWM but when I install ROM toolbox it says only tf200 is officially supported.
lastly tried Goomanager but it gave me an error saying recovery not found.
any thoughts on this?
any ideas would be appreciated
ok, tried a different version of TWRP (4.2 as opposed to JB) and it worked though cm11 still wont flash

What is your bootloader version is it 10.1.6.27.x
The last digit really does not matter...
If so you need this recovery here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2691886
Let me know if I can help you with anything else..
Thx Josh
ended up using that method and all went well.
