My Infinity won't boot any rom, not even stock. It will get stuck in a few second and reboot.
I was on the 10.6.1.14.4 bootloader and cm-20130430. I decided to try CROMI X 4.4 and downloaded the bootloader + twpr flasher (http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22909751817928748) because it was the fastest way to get twpr. When the bootloader + twpr was flashed I rebooted back into recovery and wiped everything. Then I flashed CROMI X 4.4, but it was bootlooping.
I tried other roms but they also started bootlooping. I tried different bootloaders, like the one from dasunsrule32. I even went back to 4.1.1 bootloader + stock firmware from the Asus' site.
Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this?
You didn't write that you wiped /data when you moved from CM to CROMI, so try that.

Sorry, I forgot to say that I wiped /data before flashing CROMI. I have tried almost every rom/bootloader but it's still bootlooping . I'm afraid it has something to do with the bootloader, I hope someone has a solution.
Does it hang at the boot animation, or does it constantly reboot to the bootloader screen?

It hangs at the boot animation. I can get into fastboot/recovery but I can't find the problem

I have found a solution. Instead of a factory reset I wiped the entire internal storage and also found an option 'format data' in a older version of twpr. When I did both my tablet booted back into Android. Went through the process of flashing the new bootloader again and now I am on CROMI X 4.4 without any problems.
Thanks for helping

Hey guys:
I recently wiped my tab clean because it kept bootlooping, but I accidentally wiped my ROM as well as my storage. So right now, my tab is stuck at the unlocked screen, and I'm not sure what could have caused the bootloop problem in the first place.
Rooted, unlocked, running CleanROM 2.7.2 with Data2SD and Clemsyn kernel. I kept fsync enabled precisely so that my system would be more stable, but it appears not to be the case. Right now, my priority is flashing any OS/ROM onto my tab so I can get it to start booting. Any help? I'm really hoping this isn't a brick scenario.

Can you still access recovery? From recovery I've able to reload the stock update files which extract and load a blob that completely rewrites my system.
If not, can you access fastboot? Load it into fastboot and then re-install a recovery, and then from there use that to either install the update or reload your rom.

I can still access recovery, but am not sure how to or which stock files I'm supposed to extract. I've been looking into fastboot right now, but don't have the SDK installed on my computer and frankly, I'm just not sure what to do with it.
Ideally, accessing the stock files and loading a blob would be the best solution, but I'm unsure how to proceed. Thanks for the advice, as I'm frantically trying to find a solution as the tab won't shut off and I'm afraid it's going to overheat.

I don't understand your issue, if you still can access your twrp, then just reflash your cleanrom 2.7? If you want to bypass data2sd for now, just flash clemsyn_data2sd kernel, you should able to boot up.

Like a fool, I wiped both internal and external storage. So I don't have the zips or backups I had on my sds. I've tried removing the sd and putting backups and zips I have on my computer, but TWRP doesn't recognize the device since I have no OS.

make sure you format your sdcard with fat32 using your pc, then copy the rom zip file on to it, make sure your device if OFF,put the sdcard back into your device, boot up into twrp, select mount and and put a check on everything, then try to install, it should see your zip file.

Also, my tablet kept bootlooping when trying to install the same setup (2.7 w/ data2SD) when using an SD card formated with minitool...using GParted worked like a charm the first time.

Thank you, good sir. Worked like a charm. Only problem is a boot loop that persists when I try to flash CleanROM 3.0.1, but I'll probably figure out what's wrong eventually.

Reverted back to Stock and flashed CleanROM 3.0.1 with Asus Stock boot animation this time. Yes, I was using the Nexus boot animation before, but Asus Stock isn't making a difference. Same boot loop.

Looking for some input on clean ROM on the TF300T,
This is my second time trying to install it and both times it was successful, however as soon as the boot image loads up it stays stuck loading... I did download the file again thinking it may have been corrupted.
It has been sitting there loading for 20 minutes now.
I am using cwm the latest version and I did not install a kernel still running stock
Any ideas on what could cause this?

CWM has issues on this unit. Many, many complaints. I use twrp. If you decide to use twrp be sure to choose JB and tf300t version.
Clean ROM is freaking amazing! Seriously just do it I love the mods I can make for it too! Can't wait till I get my volume long press seek mod done! Love this device!

I'm sorry it is hard to tell since you have chosen an older twrp to install. The current is five versions later and was updated as the kernels were updated to account for changes. The rom you are flashing is based on 10.4.4.25.

Use TWRP 2.4.1.0
You are using a very old version of TWRP that has bugs with AROMA installer. So that is most likely where your issues are.
What ROM are you ccoming from? What boot loader are you on.
Sounds to me like you need to upgrade your boot loader and possibly do a full wipe - make sure you are on latest TWRP first otherwise you could brick if you use an older recovery!

The only ROM i was able to flash that was fully functioning is cm10.1,
i have also flashed PA 2.9 but had some bugs i couldn't stand (screen rotation not working, extended desktop with no pie)
as for boot loader it says 1.00e by "US _Epad-10.4.2.20-20121228" A03
I just updated the TWRP as recommended on the other post (v2.4.1.0)
on every flash i wipe dalvik / Cache / Factory reset.
Before attempting to boot into Clean Rom i also followed the steps on screen saying to wipe cache and dalvik.
I m hoping PA releases a 3.0 for this device and/or i m able to get Clean rom running

If you are coming from cm10.1 you will definitely need to do a full wipe as it is non stock. It does say this in the first post. You only do a dalvik and cache wipe when upgrading from the same ROM or in CROMI's case from stock.
Do a data wipe in recovery, make sure you have a titanium backup or equivalent if you want to restore apps.
Success!!!
It worked perfectly fine after i install the back up i did before i flashed my 1st costume rom,
I rooted made a back up at stock/rooted... It just would not install from a full wipe,
it install fine once i flashed that specific backup and dirty flashed then wiped dalvik and cache before booting.
Hey everybody.
EDIT: Thanks to berndblb and all the others who replied, it works again like a charm.
I just got my Asus Transformer back from RMA because it wouldn't latch with the dock anymore.
Now I'm getting random reboots when the tablet boots up. Sometimes it makes it to the lockscreen, but in this case it freezes immediately.
I now tried reinstalling CM 10.0 and 10.1.2 after wipping all the data from the Tablet.
I then tried installing the cleanrom with the data2sdcard fix, but I have now the same problem as before.
Additional Infos:
Recovery: TWRP 2.5.0.0
Rom at the moment: CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049274
Data2SD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962507
Bootloader: 10.4.4.25-20131228
If you have any questions or need more logfiles don't hesitate to ask. Somehow I can't get logcat to work before it shutdowns, so I can only provide log which are stored on the filesystem. (I can access the shell within the recovery and push and pull files).
Thanks in advance for your help and for your time in which you read this text.
Maybe an old bootloader? Check the version displayed in the bootloader menu.
I've got the 10.4.4.25-20131228 Version, which is recommended to install CleanROM.

"Wiping all your data" means exactly what? Have you done a factory reset in TWRP? If yes, try formating your data partition.
Plus, you are trying to install an outdated rom that is no longer supported.
sbdags has moved on to CROMi-X, the JB 4.2.1 based rom for this tablet. Look for the thread in the development section.
Flash the bootloader/TWRP package from the first post, boot back into your old rom.
Then do a factory reset in TWRP which will wipe your data partition and flash the latest CROMi-X rom.

I'll try that. I wasn't sure if the newer Version supported the Data2SD Mod so I tried installing the older Version.
But I see now that it's supported.
@LetMeKnow
As I'm using the Data2SD Mod, I get the error message "Encryption unsuccessful".
Which means it's really installed on the SD-Card.
I also am able to start it up to the setup process, but before I can finish the setup, the tablet randomly reboots.

keep in mind the second boot on 4.3 roms seems to take a while, how long is it hanging on the boot screen?

All following reboots after the 2nd are normal with no hangs.

Yeah, mine hangs at the bl unlocked screen on that second boot, though I flashed a different logo to get rid of that annoying message 10 minutes seems a bit excessive but not unheard of-longest I clocked was around 8. Does yours ever make it to the boot animation? If so, it should go into a full boot eventually. I think the hang has something to do with the rom building cache on that second boot Also, whichever 4.3 your using, I would make sure it's a more recent release as they have come a very far since the early releases which hung for longer periods of time. I'm currently running pa rc2 by cj and it went smoothly using cwm 6.0.3.2.

By golly that worked! It booted up fast as well. It must lie with the formatting your internal storage before flashing the 4.3 rom. I tried something similiar to this but I was already on a 4.3 rom that wouldn't boot and I formatted the sd card then tried flashing it again and it booted again for the first time but wouldn't the second. So if your having trouble do this:
Restored stock 4.1.2 using Matt's utility
Rooted with Matt's utility
Put 4.3 rom and GAPPS on external SD
Fastboot flash CWM 6.0.3.5 (or install via Matt's utility if you like)
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache/Dalvik
Go to mounts/storage and format /data and /data/media (/sdcard) **Back up anything in your internal SD you want to keep before doing this!**
Flash 4.3 rom
Wipe Cache/dalvik
Flash GAPPS
Wipe Cache/dalvik
Boot up and setup rom
Reboot

Restored stock 4.1.2 using Matt's utility
Rooted with Matt's utility
Put 4.3 rom and GAPPS on external SD
Fastboot flash CWM 6.0.3.5 (or install via Matt's utility if you like)
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache/Dalvik
Go to mounts/storage and format /data and /data/media (/sdcard) **Back up anything in your internal SD you want to keep before doing this!**
Flash 4.3 rom
Wipe Cache/dalvik
Flash GAPPS
Wipe Cache/dalvik
Boot up and setup rom
Reboot

Awesome man! I'm glad it booted up for you welcome to the 4.3 side!

I did actually restore it back to completely stock, recovery and everything. I downloaded the OTA after rooting and using voodoo. The update failed but I installed cwm 6.0.3.6 and then restored my backup. Then I flashed twrp 2.0.6.1 to try that and flashed a 4.3 rom and same issue came up.

glad you got it fixed but i have to ask, in the sequence above why are you restoring a backup? you should be going right from stock to 4.3. also, some people have issues with twrp and 4.3, thats why i suggested cwm.
I'm not sure why I restored the backup. I didn't think coming from stock would work for some reason.

This was the only thing that worked for me. You could maybe try updating to the most current recovery instead of the one listed.
the only 2 issues i have seen to cause this problem are covered in the post a few below, and fixed it every time. my only suggestion would be to install cwm after rooting, then reboot, then continue with the steps. just my preference, it may not matter.
I got a new phone and decided to finally sell the Moto G. It was on some ROM, so I factory reset from options, which forced it into a bootloop. So I then tried to install a stock rom lollipop rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219). But it didn't work. I then realised, that I cannot update the recovery on the phone at all. Its stuck on a custom recovery, that works, but should not be there as I've tried to overwrite it with stock. Ever since then I've been trying to rectify this. I've tried flashing recovery both through the custom recovery itself and through fastboot.
Also, something else I've noticed. If I put some files on the phone and restart it, they seem to disappear. Another thing I've just noticed, I can't seem to wipe the phone. All of my original files are still on it ? That doesn't make sense..
eMMc corruption.
Symptoms:
(i) Cannot change Recovery.
(ii) Cannot wipe /system | /system is read-only
Many Moto G's end up this way. The corruption cannot be repaired, however you may be able to flash a custom ROM (Stock or AOSP) via TWRP.
I've tried flashing a stock rom through TWRP, but it seems to be stuck at boot :/
