HI -
I unlocked/rooted my TF700 this morning - installed TWRP - made a nandroid backup - then did something I am afraid was incredibly stupid. I was going to do a wipe per instructions before installing a ROM and I selected "Advanced" and wiped everything instead of just doing a factory wipe.
Now when powered on it is stuck at the ASUS initial screen.
Hoping this can be fixed - can anyone help me out.
Thanks!
Ted
Not that I can help but it would be useful to know what it comes up as on your computer when you plug in the USB connection.

Nothing happens at all when plugged into the USB port on the computer or pad!
Thanks for the reply!

I think you wiped out the ROM. Can you still get to twrp? Try putting cromi 3.4.7 on your micro sd card. But first what Android were you on before doing the wipe. Also what version of twrp did you download? And since you wiped everything you wiped your nandroid backup?

Thanks for the reply! No I have not been able to get to the TWRP recovery - I have tried just about every power on combination I thing and it just goes back to the initial ASUS screen. he last thing it said when I was doing the wipe was "It appears your device is not rooted" It asked me to install TWRP which I selected to do so then it proceded to the ASUS screen and will not go any further. I do still have the nandroid b/u as it was made to my external sd card and it was NOT wiped. I was on the latest stock 4.2.1 and the latest TWRP 2.5 i believe.
Thanks again!

If you are not able to sneer the boot loader our recovery by holding down the power button and the volume down button then it is bricked so I would keep trying to get to the boot loader at least. If you can't get to it then it is bricked skip keep trying.

Try power off your device and let it sit for 1 min, then hold volume down and power buttons until you see white text on the screen, then let go both buttons, see you can get back to TWRP.

BTW, advance wipe is good to perform a "clean install", nothing wrong with using advance wipe. Usually when you do advance wipe, it will wiped everything (system,rom etc..), so you ended up with no OS and TWRP prompt you to install root, just don't execute this but instead select back or home.

Absolutely wonderful. By what you had said it was hard to believe that you bricked your tablet. Now you know how to get into twrp, you shouldn't have any problems now. Also, if is only required to do a factory reset to flash a new ROM. And always make sure you have a nandroid to use on internal and micro sd should something happen. Enjoy and now be relaxed .

Hi, i just want to return back to stock ICS 4.0.3 (unrooted).
My TF101 is now rooted. Below are some details for my TF101
Kernel Version..... 2.6.39.4
Build number..... IML74.WW_epad-9.2.1.17-20120312
Serial number ..... B80
Recovery ..... Rogue XM Recovery 1.3.0 (CMM-Based Recovery v5.0.2.7)
My TF101 is currently working just fine. I had a problem leaving recovery CMW but i managed to change it as above.
I have been looking for 5 days to find an NVFlash solution for my B80 tablet but no luck. Can you please help me restore it back to stock?
NVFlash will NOT work on B8O TF
Just download the official stock firmware from Asus website.
Extract it to get to the zip inside, put it on your sd card and flash with CWM.
(Wipe data, cache and dalvik ect... like flashing any other ROM)
Once rebooted you'll be on stock firmware and stock recovery

I think it work just fine!!! Thank you so much.
Did what you said. Wipe data, cash and dalvik.
Then flash ww_epad-user-9.2.1.17 and reboot.
After that my TF101 was not rooted (checked with -Root Check Basic)
I also reboot to recovery and what a lying down adroid with red triangle.
Thank you so much for everything.
P.S. This means that my TF101 is back to manufactures' stock rom?

Let just say it didnt wipe my 450 euros
I did all the things you can think of and never thought of this
Why don't you make a threat for this issue. From what i was reading the past few days there are a lot of people facing the same issue and didn't know what to do. Also everyone (like me) was looking for an nvflash for their B70 + B80 TF101 devices to install the stock rom.
Rooting my nexus s and flashing different roms (am running CybergrMod V.9) was much more easier!
Once again thank you so much.
If this is true then what if the purpose of NVflash? I've been so worried about flashing roms because my serial is C10. I have the same setup as you listed. I guess NVflash would only be needed if you couldn't get into CWM?
Here's a good thread about almost everything

I never read the unroot section. I feel much better now about flashing ROMs. Still wish they would release the NVflash. thanks!
Hey all,
I've tried the various custom rooms out there and I'm looking to flash back to stock rom. Is there a tutorial how to do this. I also noted that when flashing between roms the files in the directory don't get wiped and are still there? Is there a way to flash to all original tf300t like the day I first bought it?
Thanks!
Ok I think I may have screwed up my transformer.
I remembered I made a backup using twrp recovery and tried to restore it (all the options were checked for the restore: boot, system, data, recovery).
After the reboot it gets hung up on the asus sign with the swirly circles. I can still get to recovery so I tried to flash back to one of the custom roms (aokp build 38) but it gets stuck in the loading screen as well. Arggg.
Any suggestions? Is it bricked?
Ok, I did a factory reset and that looks like it fixed the problem.
Now back to my original question, does anyone know how to load everything back to stock?
yes, I am interested in this as well. Backed up my first stock rom before I rooted, and then after I rooted, and am ready to start flashing but wanna take the proper precautions. Thanks for you guys help
i have the same issue... i flashed aokp, but as i tried to restore my stock rom, it freezes at the second asus sign...
but, when i restore, and do a factory reset like the op, i can see the android welcome screen, but when i select my language, he reboots...
for me this worked.
1. get the latest .30 firmware from the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697227.
2. copy to the sd card.
3. reboot to recovery.
4. wipe
and then flash zip and wait.
Anyone know if I can do this through twrp?

I had to flash CWM over TWRP to go back to stock.......TWRP gave me an error repeatedly.
Okay so I have the TWRP 2.4.4 and I just updated the bootloader to 10.4.4.25 US Jelly Bean Bootloader. I'm actually not sure if my TF700 is US but I did indeed buy it here so it has to be right? I got it off Amazon. Anyways I was using CleanRom and decided I wanted to try LiquidSmooth. I downloaded, booted into TWRP, inserted SD card, and installed. Everything went perfectly. I was able to boot into liquidsmooth and set up my stuff but I realized I didnt like it very much so I erased everything using TWRP, dalvik, cache, factory reset, and wipe data. Now for some reason when I try to install CleanROM again I go through the install and then I just get the asus spinning wheel. i left it for an hour and when I came back it was still spinning! So I booted back into TWRP and cleaned everything up and reflashed liquidsmooth but same exact thing! I then reflashed stock ROM ODEX and SAME THING. So I went back to TWRP and erased my ROM, data, factory reset, everything. And rebooted. It boots up to regular Jellybean! and everything works. So I guess i'm on stock ROm now? I have no idea what happened I'm actually kind of a noob with android. I really want to get back to CleanROM inheritance but I cant because it gives me the spinning wheel fo days everything. Anyone can help? Thanks

Since you are back on stock and obviously unlocked, you just need to install TWRP via fastboot and you should be good.

I got it! What I did was I had to completely wipe everything. I basically hit every button in the TWRP wipe menu LOL. I guess there were some lingering files that were causing some problems with the boot. Everythings A okay now! Running CleanROM Inheritance with the latest bootloader and custom recovery and couldnt be happier.This sure is faster than the old stock asus ROM. I'm lovin it.

Woot good. It seems sometimes left over files will mess up a rom installation. What those files be? not a clue but sometimes a full wipe will help, just be careful not to wipe external with the roms on them .

Hi guys, I have rooted and unlocked my TF700 few days ago. Currently with CWM recovery and CM10.1. I would like to change to Cromi-X for its faster performance. I am pretty new to this kind of stuff. From the Cromi-x TF700 developer page, it says TF700 user should be on stock 4.2.1. before flashing this ROM. Is there other way of doing it? What are the instructions to do so? Factory reset using custom recovery? install TWRP and bootloader? Step-by-Step instructions would be the best! Thank you so much! Would really appreciate it.:laugh::laugh:
FIY: I was on stock 4.2.1 before flashing CM10.1.

Thanks a lot for your swift reply LetMeKnow! Yea that was the forum I was talking about. Just that I am not quite sure about few things in the OP.
From the OP:
"STEP 2 TF700 ONLY – I have a custom recovery installed but not the latest bootloader
If you are currently unlocked and on a JB 4.1.1/10.4.4.25 based custom rom like CleanROM Inheritance 3.x and have a custom recovery installed:
I recommend you install the appropriate Bootloader Recovery package below as the safest route to upgrade to CROMi-X. This can be flashed from any custom recovery "
1) I am on 4.2.1, can I still proceed with the same method?
2) So I am supposed to flash TWRP and bootloader using the CWM recovery that I already have? Or should I use the fastboot command method? Just to make sure as I don't wanna brick my tablet.
Appreciate your help! :good::good::good:

I would love to help you further but I never use CWM. Therefore, it would be safe if someone has a better knowledge to help you out. _that, Sbdags, and others will have a good answer for you. They are very active in helping others users like you and me..
You can flash latest Cromix on top of CM10.1 even if you are using CWM (btw using CWM for CM roms is not mandatory,TWRP will work fine too).
I do recommend a clean install ( factory restore before flashing Cromi) but you could also try a "dirty" flash ( so your apps are not wiped) first and see if all works fine.
On a side note you should also try the CM10.2 experimental build,it's working nice here .

Thank you so much Pretoriano! Would carefully proceed to flash it tonight, hopefully nothing will go wrong. In your opinion, do you think Cromi-X has better performance(in terms of speed and smoothness) over CM? Because I still find lags and what not in CM10.1.

Not using Cromi-X so i can't tell but you should try different roms yourself, trust me on that.But don't expect miracles from any rom,this device it is what it is.sometimes works nice then at some point starts to lag,self-reboot and act like crap.Latest CM10.2 looks good so far but the best way to prove it is to install all your usual apps and use it for some time,then decide if it's a keeper.
As for Cromi-X or other roms,i don't know if Journaling is disabled by default,but if it is keep in mind that is just a workaroud which trade stability for performance.
Personally i've build a custom rom for myself based on Asus firmware,removed some bloatware,patched to have the advanced power menu,used some init.d scripts wich you can find here on XDA and honestly performs just fine,no dangerous tweaks applied or task manager.

You definitely should switch to TWRP recovery. It's working fine with both CM and stock based roms like CROMi-X, whereas there have been issues if you use CWM with stock based roms.
You do have to do a clean install if you go from CM to CROMi-X.

You always should do a nandroid backup of your old setup/rom before you flash anything new.
In TWRP 'Factory Reset' is the default selection under the 'Wipe' menu. It will wipe your /data partition except for your /data/media/ folder where your personal stuff lives.
Naturally, you should have a backup of all your stuff anyway!
Data nor backed up is data not yet lost
Edit: To literally answer your question: A clean install is wiping data and system partitions as well as cache and Dalvik. If you flash CROMi-X (and I believe that's true for most custom roms), the system partition will get formatted before the new rom installation as part of the installation process. Wiping Cache and Dalvik is the default when installing CROMi-X, so you don't need to do that either. Just factory reset before flashing and you'll be good.
If you want to go squeaky clean, you would do a format data in TWRP (under the Wipe > Advanced menu). But that will erase your entire data partition, so you definitely have to have everything you care about backed up.

That's a very clear explanation from you!:good::good: Certainly helps me a lot. One last question berndblb, can I flash TWRP over my current CWM directly(worry that it will cause or brick or whatsoever) before doing a factory reset? Or it is advisable to do a factory reset using CWM only then I flash the TWRP? Sorry if my question sounds dumb, because I am really new to all these stuff.

Your first step should be to replace the CWM recovery. A factory reset only affects your data partition - no need to do that in CWM.
The main thing is that you have at all times a compatible bootloader/recovery combination. If you have the 10.6.1.14.4 or 10.6.1.14.8 bootloader, you can download GooManager, tap the 3 dots in the upper right corner and select "Install Open Recovery Script". It will install the latest TWRP version 2.6 over CWM. I am not sure if your CM version is compatible with TWRP 2.6 - so better check on that.
But once you have TWRP installed, you can proceed as described earlier.
Your questions are absolutely fine. Read everything you can find 5 times, ask 3 times, flash once - if and when you're sure! :Good:
One more thing: If you decide you do a factory reset or format data in TWRP, make sure you have the rom you want to flash (and I highly recommend CROMi-X 4.7) on your external microSD - it's safer that way. You may have to navigate to your microSD in TWRP under the 'Install' menu. By default TWRP shows your internal SD. Just tap that field and navigate to your external, select the CROMi-X zip and flash it.
The microSD has to be FAT32. It you never changed the factory format, you're good.

You can flash twrp on top of cwm no probs. I do it all the time. CROMi-X does work fine on cwm 6.0.3.0+
You will 100% need to wipe data (factory wipe good enough) before flashing CROMi-X. Good luck.

If you have the 10.6.1.14.4 or 10.6.1.14.8 bootloader, you can download GooManager, tap the 3 dots in the upper right corner and select "Install Open Recovery Script". It will install the latest TWRP version 2.6 over CWM. I am not sure if your CM version is compatible with TWRP 2.6 - so better check on that.
But once you have TWRP installed, you can proceed as described earlier.
Your questions are absolutely fine. Read everything you can find 5 times, ask 3 times, flash once - if and when you're sure! :Good:
One more thing: If you decide you do a factory reset or format data in TWRP, make sure you have the rom you want to flash (and I highly recommend CROMi-X 4.7) on your external microSD - it's safer that way. You may have to navigate to your microSD in TWRP under the 'Install' menu. By default TWRP shows your internal SD. Just tap that field and navigate to your external, select the CROMi-X zip and flash it.
The microSD has to be FAT32. It you never changed the factory format, you're good.

You can flash twrp on top of cwm no probs. I do it all the time. CROMi-X does work fine on cwm 6.0.3.0+
You will 100% need to wipe data (factory wipe good enough) before flashing CROMi-X. Good luck.

Thanks to all experts that help me a lot!!!:good::good::good: Really really appreciate it! :laugh::laugh:
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.

Try installing the bootloader recommended for the ROM you are trying to install.

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. At the moment I am trying to install cleanrom, because I thought the problem was with cm.
But now as I do have the exact same problem with cleanrom as with cm I think it isn't the rom.

You can try to remove the External SD card and reboot without it. Please report back so we all know what is happening, thanks..

"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.
