Completely wipe a TF700? - Asus Transformer TF700

So I've just sold my TF700 and about to send it off to the buyer.
How do you totally wipe the tablet? Is there an app to do so? I know that doing a factory reset doesn't appear to wipe it.
Thanks

Perform a factory Reset through the ROM settings,reflash the ROM, and perform another factory reset. It should be completely cleared. Also perform a cold boot afterwards.

READ COMPLETELY BEFORE ATTEMPTING!
While the tablet is on, hold power down until it turns off. As soon as it turns off press volume down while still holding the power button. That will enable you to choose to go back into your recovery or fastboot. Recovery will be the icon labeled RCK and fast boot will be the USB icon.
You could also choose to just enter RCK (recovery) and try to do a factory reset, try to flash the ROM again or flash another ROM from your SD card.
If you are positive you have choosen and flashed the correct ROM the first time, did you remember to do a factory reset, clear cache and dalvik before flashing the ROM? That could very well be the reason you are in a boot loop.
If you are using CWM as your recovery and cannot use it to flash a new ROM from your SD card, you may need to flash TWRP using fast boot in order to flash a different ROM from your SD card.
There is a TWRP thread in the development section. Download the TWRP recovery blob and flash it using fast boot.
You also have another option. You can choose to flash back to stock using fastboot. Here is a great tutorial that will guide you step by step on how to do it. If you are unsure of what to do and want a quick fix, use this. Make sure to thank him for the great tutorial after you finish if you decide to go this route.

I had this problem with mine when I was flashing it, but I was still on the ICS firmware when I tried to flash CM10, that's what caused the problem since the boot partition gets resized in the stock JB update.
Are you sure you were on a 4.1 OTA stock update before you tried this? Have you tried wiping data/system/cache and re-flashing the ROM again?
I ran a backup of my stock rom before flashing CM10, so when it wouldn't boot after the initial flash, I restored, and it was then stuck at the ASUS screen saying 'unlocked device' what I had to do to mine was extract boot.blob from cm9.1, boot the tablet into fastboot, and then run fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash boot boot.blob that got me booted back into a live tablet. I then took the JB OTA, and started over, flashing recovery, root, doing another backup, and then wiping and flashing CM10, which worked perfectly.
HOWEVER. If you're 100% certain you were on JB already, this may not be the case.
Yes. I was on jb 4.1.1, kernel 3.1 ( i,m not sure, but this i remember ) and, for sure, firmware 10.4.2.18

I would use the link I posted above. It will at least get you back to stock. It's a very easy tutorial to follow. Once you get the tablet where it will boot, then you can decide on another ROM.

I personally would put Cromi onto your external SD, make a nandroid backup of your current rom, and wipe the system, factory reset, cache,and Davik Cache, then install Cromi. Id you install Asus' stock rom, it will wipe your recovery.

^^ Fully agree -- no reason to go back to stock when there's CROMI. : ) Flashing CROMI doesn't leave something important behind that the stock ROM would actually do. Does a full wipe and reflashing CM10 not solve your issues?

My 2 cents worth:
If you have a working custom recovery: Download CROMI 3.4.1 and the 3.4.4 patch onto your external microSD card.
Enter your recovery, wipe cache, Dalvic, system and then fash CROMI 3.4.1 followed by the 3.4.4. patch.
If you want to go for a super clean install, also wipe the internal SD card, but back up your apps, settings so you can restore them later.

[Q] cant boot into system

Hey guys. I unlocked my tf700 and now it's on CleanROM3.4.7 with that6 kernel and data2sd. Everything worked fine for a long time. But last night when I was checking email, it just suddenly turned to a white screen and I had no choice but reboot it. It just cant boot into system anymore. I tried flash the rom zip again in the CWM recovery, but it was still stuck at the first bootscreen. How can I fix this?

You are probably going to have to do a full wipe to get it back going. Or a nandroid backup if you got one. Sounds to me the ROM and your data is corrupted. Also make sure your Recovery, boot loader, and ROM are up to date and compatible with eachother to prevent issues. Just a fyi.

I normally prefer wiping from recovery (CWM in this case).

I am not sure how CWM works but a wipe of your internal storage including ROM and data partition.. Make sure you dont wipe your roms, also make sure you have compatible CWM and boot loader which I expect that it already is.

Try a cold boot or factory RESET first,my mistake going to a straight wipe first but it would be the process to fix it is Factory Reset or cold boot dont work.

That's expected -- the Android secure partition is not in use. Just pick "Wipe data/Factory reset, and "Format /system" from the menus and reflash your ROM.

did as you told, but it still doesn't work, now it continues rebooting itself at the first bootscreen.
sd card corruption?
What happens if you boot without the sd card in? Might need to flash the rom again as you'll no longer have a working data2sd card solution obviously.

Are you still able to boot in CWM recovery? If yes, just install an Original Asus firmware (4.1.1 or 4.1.2,you choose) and after the install process it's done and your new firmware it's installed go to the bootloader screen (power+volume down) and choose Wipe Data.
Imho when you wiped the internal storage from CWM your partition got messed up and this is the easiest way to recover. I discovered this CWM bug a few days ago and i already reported to dasunsrule32 so i'm sure that he will investigate asap. In the meantime you can use CWM recovery just fine but don't use it to wipe internal storage (i think the issue arise after running "wipe data and data/media" option).

I think it is. It works after wipe and reflash the rom without the sdcard. Still don't understand why it just corrupted suddenly.

Thanks for the help. Already recovered after wiped and reflashed the rom.

[Q] TWRP Factory Reset Doesn't Wipe All Apps

After a factory reset wipe on TWRP, there are still like 50+ apps left in my tablet (I've installed about 140 apps before the wipe). These are not system apps, but some games and apps I installed before.
Before the wipe I've performed a failed restore, don't know if it made this happen.
I'm using CM 10.1-0501-Nightly.
Anyway I can get my factory reset to wipe all the apps like it should have.
Have you tried an advanced wipe and wiping data as well as the 3 that wipe on a factory reset? FYI make sure you have everything backed up, nandroid and Titanium just as a precaution. And depending what you want to flash new, you should make sure you have the zips on your micro sd card and do not wipe that.
