unroot my tf300

I brought a transformer tf300 a few days ago that was already rooted and unlocked. I can't get adobe flash to work. I tried side loading a few version of adobe but still no success. Google market says my device is not compatible with adobe. I don't think the rooted device really serves me any purpose so I would like to take it back to factory condition. I need some help doing it since I have never rooted a device before.
It is rooted with
aokp-tf300t-build-38.
Android ver 4.0.4.
Kernel 2.6.39.4 g2bf1397-dirty.
Build IMM761.
Thanks for all your help if you can. I will need step by step instructions, and thanks again for the help

download the latest firmware from the asus site first. http://www.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/#download
Then install the current software version. You can use the instructions from here to reflash stock rom in post 2

Did you unzip the firmware and flash the zip named "US_epad-user-9.4.3.29"?

yes and CWM says install from sd card complete, no errors. I get the intial boot screen with the blue progress bar then I get stuck at the spash screen with the spinning wheel.
Luckily I had a nandroid of my AOKP setup and can go back to that. Ive tried a few times today to return to stock with the same results.

Remember to full wipe before installation including /system and after clear dalvik and cache then fix permissions.
By not wiping /system can cause some data to be left and corrupt stock installation had this happen on my g2x and have seen it on some other threads.

I wiped the cache before I started the install and now when I boot into the usb fastboot my comp flashed a bootloader notification but then nothing else happens. I tried it a second time and I dont even get the notification. Also if I let it boot regular the Asus screen shows when i first boot but then nothing ever comes up just black screen

Please Help - Updated JB bootloader - can't boot

I just bought a new Infinity today to replace my Prime. I never bothered unlocking/rooting/etc the Prime but given I'm starting from scratch thought I'd go that route out of the box on the Infinity.
I've been carefully reading all of the guides, etc and have used the unlock tool, then created the nvflash backup files (which involves a custom bootloader first).
I then decided I'd take a stab at trying CleanROM Inheritance. One of the first notes indicates that the latest JB Bootloader is required, so I went ahead and downloaded the US JB Bootloader from the link and flashed as described. Now I can't boot up anymore. I can still get to recovery, etc, but I don't know what I should do next. Was this the wrong thing to do? Or did it not flash right?
What should I do next? I'm not new to flashing but w/ my Galaxy Nexus things have always gone pretty smoothly.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Note I tried the initial steps for custom bootloader when setting up for nvflash ( http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/ ) but it doesn't work this time around...
From the link:
"Now that you are in fastboot mode please run the following command to flash the AndroidRoot bootloader:-
$ fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging ebtblob.bin"
But this has no effect....
ALSO,
I had not accepted the software update from Asus yet so I was still on ICS. Does that have anything to do w/ my problem? What should I do?

Simply boot to recovery and install CROMI.

Are you suggesting that the JB bootloader is not the issue? I would think if I get stuck at the asus screen then it doesn't matter what the ROM is.
Either way I'm stuck at the moment w/out adb and no SD card. I'm running out on my lunch break to pick one up, which should be all I need to get working again. To be safe I'm going to go back to the .30 ICS stock image first. Once I know that worked, I'll take another stab at CROMI.

My train of thought was this: You said you can still get to recovery. TWRP supports adb, so you can send the CROMI zip via adb (or use a microSD card if you have one), then install it. CROMI is based on JB, so it is compatible with the JB bootloader, and should boot fine after installation.

Gotcha. I didn't realize TWRP supported adb. Anyway I was able to get back up and running w/ my nvflash backups, though I have to say finding info on actually using the backup files took a ton of digging and some trial and error... Now to try again at CROMI!

I did something very similar and am not sure how to proceed. I have the latest version of twrp and my infinity is rooted + unlocked. It was running ics. I then found what was likely the same US jb bootloader link under a thread that gave instructions for installing cromi. After flashing the jb bootloader via recovery, I got a loading bar, then while attempting to boot is got stuck on the Asus screen. Rebooting leads to a reboot loop. I can still access twrp recovery. Flashing cromi or reflashing the same bootloader yields an error message.
I never did anything with nvflash.
What should I do next? Still kind of fresh to this.

And now we are supposed to guess what error message you saw?
The next step is to set up an adb connection from a computer to your TWRP. This way you can get more detailed info what went wrong.

To me that sounds like an incompatible bootloader, e.g. ICS bootloader trying to load JB ROM. Could you check the bootloader version?

I agree, it seems you never updated to a JB rom. A JB boot loader needs a JB Rom, It seems the JB boot loader wont boot ICS. Just flash Cromi and you should be good.

[Q] tf700 4.2.1 JB root/unlock steps ??

ok so before i get my head bit off i will start by saying I have been trawling through the forums and searching around and am still drawing blanks and have just been getting more and more confused. so in the hopes of regaining my bearings I ask this,
I bought an asus tf700 tablet it came with 4.2.1 jb installed (the guy updated just before i picked it up OTA)
it was not rooted/unlocked AFAIK at any point.
now I would like to get paranoid android running on it. so my understanding of android (which is very little as i've only ever used an s3 i9305 which was easy to get rooted and ready)
i keep reading through different threads that to unlock the bootloader to get custom roms onto the device it cannot have the updated bootloader that jb 4.2.1 installs but then there are contradictions that state it can be by taking xyz steps then more contradictions stating you must go back to ICS root, preserve root then unlock bootloader and update to JB. but other posts claim doing that is incorrect
then more threads still state that jb can be rooted and unlocked just like any other revision would be but you cannot use the ASUS unlocker for some reasons i didnt quite understand 1 was about asus bricking you for it or tracking you?? and the other was it is not compatible with 4.2 JB only ICS (this is why i keep getting confused. one moment its yes then its no dont do cant be done)
further more it seems that the asus unlocker is the only way to unlock the bootloader on a tf700 but if you cant use it then how can you unlock your bootloader?
i have no idea what direction i am supposed to be going in so here is where i am at the moment
tf700 - stock 4.2.1 jellybean -
kernel version - 3.1.10-g03bdcb1
build number - JOP40D.WW_epad-10.6.1.14.4-20130329
pad EC version - PAD-EC20T-0216
i am hoping to get it rooted+unlcoked to install
paranoid android v 3.15.
so do i need to downgrade to ICS and if so are there any specific steps required or is it a simple copy to SDcard or internal memory and run the stock recovery mode or download mode = install and done or do i need to modify any files or set any specific options?
or can i simply root and unlock it as it is and then flash TWRP or CWM and have SU + install the custom rom and be on my merry way?
sorry if this is considered super simple stuff but coming from the s3 which was a simple point and click with ODIN to get CWM then just copy ROM's to an SD and select flash ROM after clearing data/cache+dalvik this is a lot more complicated..

downgraded -
okay so upon even more searching i got the device to downgrade to 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich
so from here i have gathered that i need to now "unlock" the bootLDR to be able to install custom roms
afaik cant be undone but will allow custom roms+custom recovery. so looking in to that now. will report back....basically to noone haha.
see ya soon kanjo.

Nope, I'm here and listening - I'm in exactly the same boat. Seems if you have a totally stock JB tab, there's not much info/guides around about how to actually unlock the bootloader (from which everything else flows - NVFlash, custom recovery, bootloader, root, ROM)

well luckily i got my boat to land and it seems extremely complicated but it is in fact damn easy as hell to get it all working once you get it done right once.
what i done was
downgrade 4.2.1 JB to 4.0.3 ICS just by downloading the 9.4.5.30 firmware file
(using the stock recovery options. which was a pain in the ass because it took me about an hour and a half to get it to work with the file)
which can be found in this thread here
you need to extract the file within the first zip (its a zip within a zip)
you must then rename the zip you extracted to
EP201_768_SDUPDATE.ZIP and place it on the root of your SD card (i believe internal memory works also. but i used an old 1gb SD)
you then turn off the tablet. boot it up by holding power and volume down until you get the menu with 3 icons on screen. you press volume up to access the first option.
if it works it should install and downgrade to ICS all on its own.
in my case for over an hour i just kept getting errors and redownloaded the file many times even though the MD5 was fine. eventually it worked
so you will then be on 4.0.3 ICS which is right where you need to be.
from there you pick your route depending on what you want to do.
if you just want root you can use the automated root tool found in the beginning of this thread
and then there are steps to preserve root and update to stock JB ectect but i did not understand them at all and that was not the way i went
i unlocked the bootloader so i could install a custom ROM (parranoid android in this case)
so you unlock the bootloader by following this thread
but in doing so you lose any warranty you may have had and from what i was able to find it is irreversible. but once that is done you can use the automated root tool and you will be unlocked and rooted on ICS. from there you install GOOmanager from the play store and download TWRP for your TF700 by pressing the menu button (3 buttons in the top right) and select install OpenRecoveryScript
throw any custom rom you want to install on to your SD card
once that is done you can reboot into that recoery mode by swtich the tablet off.
holding volume down and power for boot. a white line of text will appear where you will get 5 seconds to press volume up to access TWRP
from there you need to wipe data a factory reset . then select advance wipe and wipe cache + dalvik cache options
then install the custom rom of your choice which you loaded on to your SD card. Flash and go
now it seems so damn easy im a little annoyed with myself.
hope this helps you out

I'm still locked but i will probably unlock and install alternative rom after my 1-year warranty is gone (end of july). I keep your thread in memory as it's exactly what i will need at that time. Thanks a lot man

Actually, I have seen a couple people successfully unlock on 4.2.1, but I suggest downgrading to 4.1.1 (10.4.4.25 version), unlocking, rooting, installing TWRP via GooManager, flashing the 4.2.1 boot loader, then installing whichever ROM you want.
PS, make sure the rom works on the 4.2.1 boot loader first. Cyanogen Mod, Cromi, and CromiX will work. I am not positive on other ROMS.

You sound like you know your stuff so can I ask, why would my tf700 be running so dreadfully slow? In benchmarks its scoring real low.
Unlocking has lag. Browsing = lag. Anything I do is very very noticeably slow. It's like trying to play a game at 5FPS and dropping.
Tried stock JB and ICS. now using paranoid android. Still extremely slow.
I hear that the force 2D rendering option may be to blame but that hasn't really effected much
It's painfully slow. The same rom on my i9305 runs at least 10x smoother. I know different devices and such but considering that afaik (isn't much about droids) the tf700 is supposed to be better performance wise nthough I could be wrong.
I just feel that this tablet cannot possibly be running as slow as it is. I will do more searching around to see if I can find a solution to the problem.

Backup all apps on your tablet, factory reset it, flash CromiX 4.3 Final. Then in the last few pages of CromiX flash the Play Store and browser patch. After CromiX is up and running, disable all locations services, unless you use them, go into dev settings and switch all animations to .5x. Next, go into apps and disable what you do not use, such as gmail, etc. This will help your tablet a lot. ParanoidAndroid is one of the slower ROMS for the TF700. CromiX ATM is the fastest right now, even though it is stock built. You must also remember this tablet has a small GPU for pushing full HD screen so gaming is expected to lag by all who have looked over kernals and such. Once a fully stable OC kernal releases, it may be a good idea to try it out. In quadrant with Cromix's default kernal I get about 6200 in quadrant.

Well truthfully it is hardly an issue on CROMIX but it can still be seen when doing heavy gaming. Also the cursor jumping is fixed with CROMIX as well this tablet is indeed one of a kind and since you are unlocked the gpu issue shouldn't be a problem.

Tisntrueni am now unlocked. But lag is very high. Downloading cromix now to give that a shot. The only game I've ran on it was conduit to test
What I meant with fps thing was an analogy. If you've had a game run st low low low fps that is what my entire tablets UI is running like. Let's give cromix a try and see if that helps improve things. If not it may be. Hardware fault with my unit (dear god I hope not)

I doubt it. Perform a factory reset before flashing, then flash CROMIX, then load it up and give it ten minutes to stabilize, restore apps, then perform a cold boot.

i ended up in a weird boot loop.
would install the rom get to the finish screen then the boot logo would come up, and hang there. left it for over 15 mins and still stayed there.
how do i get it to boot again ?
thought i had bricked it. but i just loaded the 4.0.3 ICS rom on to an SD and flashed that from recovery (TWRP) just waiting for it to finish installing/loading up.
i think it will be unrooted but remain unlocked now. will try installing a new copy of CromiX. odd though, i checked the md5's before using it and they matched perfectly.

You need to flash 10.4.4.25 and not go back to ice cream sandwich, it might be the reason for the boot loop because of the boot loader version.

You need to be on 10.4.4.25 which is jb 4.1.1. Then install twrp. One twrp is installed you must flash the twrp and 4.2.1 boot loader zip file. Once the zip file is flagged, boot back into stock 4.1.1. After you but back in, boot into recovery and install CROMIX. That should get you where you need to be but you should not be reading back to ice cream sandwich.

oh crap... it finished flashing ICS and its loaded up and working. pretty damn well i might add. it actually feels fast now. im almost tempted to just leave it as is. but i want to try out cromix now.
settings tab says this
android version - 4.0.3
kernel 2.6.39.4
not sure how i can check what my bootLdr is from where i am.
if i want to go to cromix from where i am can i just factory reset - TWRP wipe cache+dalvik and flash
or will that just cause more problems?

Since you installed the stock ROM twrp will no longer be installed so flash the10.4.4.25 ROM from Asus website and flash it. Then follow the procedure that I have given you.
Meaning that you root, install twrp from goomanager, boot into twrp, flash the twrp and 4.2.1 boot loader, boot back into 4.1.1, then boot back into recovery and flash CROMIX.

so get to 4.1.1 - flash TWRP onto it so i will be on 4.1.1 with TWRP.
from there boot into TWRP and flash the 4.2.1 bootldr file (is that in the index thread or else where?)
once that is done. reboot. then boot back into TWRP and flash CromiX.
have i got that right?
--edit--
is this the bootloader file you are referring to?

It is is the stock 4.2.1 thread is the dev section. It is a zip containing TWRP and the boot loader. It wont hurt to flash it. So yes.
1. Get 10.4.4.25 JB 4.1.1 stock ROM
2. Root using motochopper and install TWRP via GooManager
3. Boot into TWRP and flash the 4.2.1 boot loader and TWRP zip file. It wont hurt to flash it over your current TWRP.
4. Boot back into 4.1.1.
5. Boot into TWRP and flash CROMIX.
That is the process.

[Q] Cannot Install Custom ROM

Hello everyone,
I have been attempting to install either CyanogenMod or Clean on my TF700T with no success.
I am running Android 4.2. My device is unlocked and rooted, but doesn't seem to want to "speak" with my computer when rebooted into recovery mode. The issue I run into is that there is no "USB icon" in the fastboot menu to choose from.
I have attempted to use several tools such as ClockWorkMod, GooManager, and TF700T-ADB- Tool v3 to reboot into a custom recovery.
GooManager and ClockWorkMod reboot my device and show the "installing" android, but within a few seconds turns into the "bricked" android. I have attached a picture I took with my camera to the thread for reference. When I run TF700T ADB Tool, it simply locks up my tablet and doesn't prompt for further action on the PC side.
Hopefully those are enough details for someone to point out my error; this is very frustrating for a process that was so simply on my droid! :fingers-crossed:

Go into GooManager and tell it to install open script recovery. The android on his back is the stock recovery.

Could you tell me where that is within the app? I've done a couple of searches in the app and don't see it as an option to install.
Thank you!
EDIT: Found it shortly after posting this. It's downloading now.
For future lurkers, it is in the top right of the top in the "options" pane. Third or fourth option down.
EDIT EDIT: That has solved all of my problems and I would have never figured it out myself. Thank you very much Tylor!!!

Okay...problem number two.
I've installed CleanROM successfully (or so I thought), but when my tablet boots it gets stuck on the "boot" screen. In my case it is ASUS with a swirling "loading" graphic below it.
After ~10 minutes of this screen, I restarted the tablet and re-installed the ROM.
I've been sitting here watching it for nearly 5 minutes at the time of this post now. It just doesn't want to boot up.
I don't really know what question to pose at this point. Just need some help!

Which boot loader do you have?
And what CleanRom did you download.

I wish I could answer that first question accurately, but I'm afraid that I don't know. I used ASUS' Tool to unlock my device, if that counts.
I downloaded "CleanROM 3.4.7 Inheritance DEODEX v2_Signed"

Boot into the boot loader and see what the number is in the top left hand corner. It would be the same way you boot into recovery but at the RCK menu.

Ok it is all the latest. It is strange why it wont boot. If you have CleanROM on a Micro SD card, go into recovery and perform a factory reset, then try installing it again.

I am currently transferring it to a MicroSD card. I will perform those steps and post back with the results.

This is so strange...I'm getting the same thing as before.
I did a factory wipe, installed the ROM fine, wiped the cache and dalvik cache, rebooted, and it just doesn't want to load past this Nexus/ASUS screen.
I'm going to let it sit for at least 30 minutes here and see if it is just taking its sweet time or what.

No problem. There can be many reasons why it does not work. Hopefully a factory reset will solve it.

Your back on stock android? meaning you lost custom recovery?
I hope you are on 4.2.1. Not 4.1.1 though. Also,just flash CromiX over 4.2.1.
What you need to do it:
1. Root
2. Install TWRP via Goo Manager using Install Openscript Recovery In the top right menu
3. Install CROMIX. Dont install 3.4.7 this time around and see if it works. Strange you are having these problems. Also, once TWRP is installed, create a nandroid backups in recovery, and keep CROMIX and the nandroid backups on the Micro SD, nandroid is just backing up your ROM in recovery.

[Q] HELP

I just tried to flash Cromi-x 5.0 beta 2. I'm coming from beta1. I did my normal wipe routine in TWRP and installed the rom. It said install was successful, but when I hit reboot, I got a msg saying that my device doesn't appear to be rooted and did I want to install SuperSu. Now all I get is a constant bootloop on the ASUS splash screen. I tried installing my nandroid but it fails. In TWRP I get an error opening ' /data/calibration' and error I/O error. PLEASE HELP. Any suggestions?

You can boot back to TWRP and select Mount. Under Mount, make sure you tick all the check boxes and reinstall cromi 5b2 again. Please report back..

After doing what you said, it got past the asus splash screen and cromix boot animation but the screen was just black. I then booted back into TWRP, and checked the mounts and system was unchecked again. I checked it and then tried to restore one of my nandroids. All is good. Thanks for the advice

I am glad that you got it going. I think it is a bug in the TWRP. One in a while, I have that problem. A way to get around it is to shut down your device completely and use the power button + volume down to boot back into your recovery..

Was this on TWRP 2.6? If yes, flash back to 2.5.

I've seen this once, admittedly a while ago, it seems to be aroma finsihing before it has actually finished installing. Luckily TWRP does a root check and catches it. If you do get this always reinstall the ROM or as said restart then reinstall.

I've been running cromi-x since the beginning and have never had any problems. I finally got my 4.7 nandroid to boot after trying several times to install 5.0b2. Thinking I may have had a bad dl, I re-downloaded it and it installed without any problems. Thanks for all the work u haveput in to make this device fun to use. 5.0b2 is buttery smooth. Imho, this is the best release yet. Something coming your way Friday!!!!!
