[Q] boot loop problem +CWM error - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have an asus tf300, unlocked with CWM v6.0.2.3 jelly bean whatever... i wiped data and factory reset it except im in a boot loop now where i can turn the device off... except it will load straight into clockworkmod without me doing anything... now that would be all fine and **** except one thing whoch has been pissing me off all day and every single comandy in CWM is either an error or it just cant do it... im able to reboot and all that but i deadset dont know what to do atm???
owk so i can side load a package but im not sure about that but im guessing im going to have to flash a new rom onto my tablet but how do i sideload it??

Can you mount an external SD card? Also, does "adb devices" or "fastboot devices" show anything?

Were you on Android 4.1 or 4.2 when you installed cwm?

if your talking about mounting a sd card through CWM no. CWM will say "error mounting sdcard" or something like that....
i am using my tablet now but only by forcing adb to put me into bootloader once the device boots straight into CWM automatically which im not sure how it does that? anyway i can cold boot android... my devices is not rooted either because of the situation i am in...
once i am normally in bootloader where i have the selection of 'RCK', 'COLD BOOT'and "WIPE DATA' ... adb doesnt pick up the device any more which isnt a bad thing but i can fast boot comand it and if i try and flash a new recovery.img over the existing no luck and the device freezes and i have to manually reboot...
at the moment im going through CWM, and trying to side load files through that i might try to sideload the 'root.zip' in hope it may root my device... ill cold boot my device after that.
run terminal
and force a recovery.img overwrite from within that which apparently it works that why....
im pretty sure that sideloading is my best bet at the moment but its all try and error... with alot of errors at the moment...... dammmm it i would not be here if that friggen CWM worked properlly and mounted its self for once ahahh wouldnt of wiped the data and done exactly what a load of other peple have done when there CWM did the exact same thing crazy ae

Why not try flashing twrp 2.5 in fastboot? Maybe it was just a bad recovery image?

It's just a softbrick. As long as you can get into fastboot you are ok.
I suggest reflashing the stock jellybean rom. You can download it from the asus website.
As for getting it into your device (i dont know if cwm supprots sd cards yet). You can use the adb push commands or you can flash twrp which supprots flashing from the sd card.
Also next time read the rom thread carefully. It specifically says you should use twrp.
Hey man try this, it works for me (Same situation but i'm 17 xD)
1) Download this http://www.mediafire.com/?5diezc69u1b16f8
2)Extract the "recovery1" folder in C:\ drive
3)Plug the tablet to PC and turn it on while pressing VOL- and POWER, then go to the fastboot mode (is the USB symbol)
4)Download from here ( http://support.asus.com/Download.asp...300T&p=20&s=16 ) the WW of US instead of the version of the tablet you have got, the extract the blob file in the "recovery1" folder
5)Open CMD, type cd c:\recovery1 then press enter
6)Type dir to see if all the files are in the folder
7)type this command fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
8)After is done, type fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
9)Enjoy!
If you can't do any of this steps, post here and I will help you
Fixed It!

Hey actually like 10 mins after I posted I was able to install Clean Rom.
I formated every partition except sd card in v6.0.1.2 cwm recovery as well as factory reset and wipe dalvik.
Actually I like cwm recovery better and it does support microsd cards now. This is the jb/touch bootloader.
Thanks for the Help anyways.
.
Same problem, when i try to flash JB Hydro 3.6... i stuck into bootloop... i flash the official asus update and it works... But when i try to flash the hydro rom it doesn't work.... Why?
I guess you have the new JellyBean Bootloader... because of that you can only flash ROM's which are made for it...
.
I know... i update from jb ota to hydro... but when i flash the 3.6 i got bootloop... and now i can flash this rom...

no os issue

so my bro rebooted out of recovery (twrp) after wiping system and not flashing anything and now im stuck on splash screen. im screwed aren't I. edit: I can still boot into recovery... not sure if that will help! also I currently have no backups or rom to flash on the device ;( anyway to get adb sideload to work!? I use and it says device not found

I did something stupid like this yesterday. If you have a recent enough TWRP, you can use the Advanced-> sideload app option with adb to download a rom to where you can install it using twrp.

All you have to do is put the rom zip on your micro sd card, then TURN OFF your device. Now boot into twrp then select install by browse to the micro sdcard to select the rom zip file.

I had a very similar 'No OS' problem and I wasn't sure if I would be able to reboot into recovery but thank you for answering my question!

Cannot Flash anything!

Alright, so, my tablet decided to one day just cease stop working. The recovery for some reason can't flash anything now, is used to be able to flash a backup, but not anymore. It used to be able to boot past the animation, but not anymore. I cannot flash a ROM from recovery because it says that the file is bad (and please, don't tell me to check to see if the md5's are correct, they are, I've triple checked.) I've flashed CWM recovery and TWRP recovery, and TWRP cannot fix permissions, but CWM recovery can, but neither can flash a single ROM. I've tried sideloading a rom but i get this error from the CMD window
Code:
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *
. I'm at my wits end here. The bootloader is perfectly fine, it works 100% but I can't flash a single thing from recovery. I've flashed non-corrupted recoveries, and still I cannot flash a thing.
You have flashed the latest TWRP via fastboot and it still wont flash roms? Also, what bootloader are you on?

What tablet do you have?
From where did you download which recovery for which Asus tablet.
Sounds like the recovery version doesn't match the device.

Asus Tf700 32 GB. I got the recovery from the TWRP website. In answer to the boot loader question, I have no idea how to check. All I know is that I can choose between RCK, Cold Boot, Fast boot and Wipe Data.

Have you ever unlocked the bootloader? (If not: do so by searching on Asus' site for the Unlock Bootloader Tool v7) It's a simple apk which you install and then check and let it unlock.
Only then, you can start flashing!
If you already have unlocked, maybe you sent it in (?) Or flashed an official Asus rom (?), you might want to unlock it again.
Let us know if any of these answers above helped

If you have the 4 icons that indicates JB.
Sounds like the custom recovery is not installed if your on the RCK icon and press the up volume rocker and nothing happens.

Unlocking it would require an OS to be installed, but none is installed because I was wiping to install a different ROM. I have unlocked it. In response to the boot loader, yes, it has 4 icons. So I guess it is the JB boot loader. When I go to RCK it does boot recovery but from there on its unable to open any zips besides any backups I have. When I reload a backup it doesn't install the OS, but it restores everything else.

Can you get adb shell access to your recovery?
Which ZIP are you actually trying to flash? What is the exact error message from the recovery? Try running md5sum (inside the adb shell) on the file you want to flash. Check the output of "mount". Check if /cache/recovery/log contains interesting info.

Alright, I'll have to try that when I get home in about 3-4 hours. I'll get back to you on that. Also, I noticed last night that when I was on fast boot, it would stay stuck as waiting for device on the cmd window. I'm not sure if it was my computer that didn't detect it or a new symptom. O hope its just a fluke!
Alright, here's the log from my recovery.

OK, I assumed that you're not using data2sd. 1. Make sure your microsdcard is good (reformat and recopy your backup or rom if needed),2. Boot into twrp and wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, wipe system, wipe internal then finally the most important part, FORMAT SDCARD. Now reflash a new rom or try to restore from backup. I would try step#2 first. Good luck.
EDIT: format sdcard instead of wipe sdcard.

Did i brick my phone?

Hello, i recently installed the new official lollipop 5.0 android, however it was working like crap so i decided to change with custom firmware.
Heres what i did.
Unlock bootloader
install custom recovery
root with super SU
install custom rom.
It worked, and android started up, however, i cant connect to cellular network anymore, i waited like 10 minute to detect it but it wont, then i tried a different rom, didnt help. Did i bricked my phone? Is there anything to do?
Im with Virgin canada
Thanks
Can you access the bootloader? If yes, then you did not brick it. You probably didn't completely wipe the stock ROM before you flashed the custom one. Also, not a good idea to flash SuperSU before flashing your ROM.
Everything is working has usual, except i cant connect to LTE anymore. I flashed TWRP instead of Clockwork recovery, ill try again with this one...
From where you are now with TWRP installed:
1. In TWRP, go to "Wipe" then go into the advanced wipe options and wipe every partition except the internal storage.
2. Flash ROM.
3. Flash Gapps if needed.

Push the ROM zip file to your phone from within TWRP, don't sideload it. You shouldn't even need to do that though. TWRP now supports MTP so your internal storage should appear when you connect the phone to the PC when you're in TWRP.
So you went from having possible APN issues to completely wiping your device? Slow down before you actually do brick it. Read the stickies. All the info you need is already here.

Well, did you flash a ROM or factory image? Earlier you said there was no ROM installed.
And about that TWRP issue...not too sure. That could be the recovery_from_boot.p file restoring the stock recovery. Are you seeing an android with a red exclamation point?

Nope no red exclamation point, when i choose recovery mode, the Google boot screen appear, then the Teamwin logo appear for a few second, then screen goes black and then google logo is back, and finnaly android boot up...

Which ROM is this? And since you've already wiped the SD card once and the ROM won't boot, why not just flash the factory image so you'll have a clean slate to start with?
Factory image = Official firmware?

twrp or CWM saying cant mount any partition TF300T

hELLO,
I tried installing twp and cwm versions from xda/twrp.me/cwm website for T300T and flashed them successfully from FASTBOOT but after I boot into recovery and then, when I try to wipe data/ factory reset, do anything in twrp or CWM, I get error "unable to mount /system /cache/ and every other partition, so I can not flash anything, can not mount any partition or sdcard or emmc or anything and can not copy flash files into tablet from PC while in TWRP CWM or external SDcard. I already enabled USB debugging and everything else in tablet settings but I am unable to mount anything or format anything from TWRP or CWM.

If your fastboot still works, please try Kang TWRP 2.8.7.2 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/development/recovery-twrp-t3046479.
if the other recovery does not work, you would probably need to reflash stock rom from the asus website, this is due to recovery not being able to identify the partitions without a full boot, if you wiped it from bootloader the whole partition table is messed up and you want to reflash that by using the stock rom. If you need any help on that just pm me.
I have the exact same problem. Not sure about fastboot as so far it has not installed anything. I have twrp 2.5.0.0 .... adb does function and have actually installed KK 6.0 and works fine, but on restart it is back to recovery and no OS.Any help appreciated.
using fastboot all I get is waiting on device and a blinkng cursor.
How can I get Kang twrp on the tf300 with adb commands?
Sorry to sort of hi-jack the OP thread, but my problem is very similar. Here is where I am now tablet sitting at Starting fastboot usb download protocol ... 3 icons with RCK blinking. I ran the following From my sdk platform tools folder.
adb reboot bootloader
it was followed by;
" daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037"
"daemon started successfully"
I then ran the following:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp_tf300t_kang_2.8.7.2.img
it was followed by:
sending 'recovery' (7126 kb)...
followed by a white blinking cursor and it just sits there,
Same results if I run it all the same except substituting the blob file instead of the img file.any ideas?
Many Thanks
Many Thanks, go out to gs-crash-24-7 as well to the forums here at XDA, I now have my tf 300 back up and running on the stock JB 4.2.1 rom. Still isn't recognizing my Micro SD card, but that is a problem I think should be easier to solve.
Again, many thanks all.
Took forever to get it to be recognized as a fastboot device with windows 10, but once that happened ( I won't lie, I erased everything many times) well that and me switching to a little 3 ft cord (after so many attemps at adb>fastboot flash staging blob) it is going for now.
Good advice below if your TF300T seems bricked.
