Hi, I unlocked my TF300T sotck ICS 4.0.3 with the Asus app, I flashed CWM and the root_signed thingy without a problem. I then did a data wipe, cache and dalvik wipe and flashed CM10 stable build for TF300T and the Gapps zip. I reboot and it's stuck on ASUS screen. I'm currently doing a restore of the "nandroid". Will this restore my tablet to ICS? What did I do wrong? How do I get either Cm10 to work or return to the ICS? Also, if I need to flash something else, how do I do it? Does the CWM recognize msd cards? Because all I have on the internal memory is the CM10 which currently did not work for me. I'm a little desperate right now. Thanks.
EDIT: DAMN IT, I just got an error restoring data. What the hell do I do? Please!
i tried restoring again and reflashing cm10 and the gapps and still nothing changes. I did wipe again the caches and still nothing. Also I can't download other roms to the tablet because my computer doesn't recognize the tablet because it hasn't booted and the cwm won't recognize micro sd cards. So I think flashing something else isn't an option. Did I break my tablet completely? I'm almost in tears
I tried several things due to some searches on different forums but nohitng works. I tried wiping caches and reflashing Cm10, didn't work. I tried pluggin my tablet to my computer and sending the asus stock rom via ADB and flashing that, but CWM gives me an "installacion aborted" error. I just don't know what to do nor I understand what went wrong. I did everything according to multiple tutorials. Unlocking, flashing CWM and rooting went just fine. But installing CM10 ended up pretty much destroying my tablet. I wanna kill myself.
I think you have a brick??!! :'( cm10 is jellybean and you where on ics and you probably didn't flash the jellybean bootloader did you?

Not a single tutorial said that I had to do that. Every tutorial says "unlock bootloader, flash cwm, flash root_signed, flash cmrom". I did just that. Are you telling me that my tablet is lost forever?
in most cm threads (except cm9) their is stated that you atleast need android 4.1.1 with it's bootloader or 4.2 with it's bootloader, what i suggest you try is to flash a bootloader and upgrade staight to 4.1.1 you can download the firmware from asus the links are on this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39272826 FOLLOW THIS GUIDE CORRECTLLY OR YOU MIGHT PERMANENTLY BRICK YOUR TABLET!!!!
EDIT: if you get an error during flash it's probably the drivers or a fastboot flash brick wich is only fixable by replacing the motherboard!!

If what you say is true, then you can't flash CM10 on a stock ICS tablet, and that goes against every freaking tutorial I've read before messing with my tablet.
What exactly is your bootloader version?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
I'm not sure what my answer is. The "bootloader" was unlocked by the Asus app from their website. I did that by downloading (I believe it was V7) the apk from their website and installing that and unlocking the tablet. From there on, I just followed did fastboot flashing CWM and rooting. I never read a tutorial that said "you should flash JB bootloader before installing cm10". In fact I thought that just by unlocking the tablet, rooting and flashing the custom recovery one could just install a custom rom regardless of wether it's JB or not. It's funny because I didn't want to upgrade to stock JB because it seemed buggy from a lot of reviewers, and CM10 was the classic option to have JB and a lot of great features and speed. So I google time and time again how to flash CM10 on a ICS stock ASUS. I just followed the tutorials for that.
is my tablet unrecoverably bricked? I also tried fastbooting and "flash system blob" with the blob for the ICS 4.0.3 firmware, after a while of "sending" the file in the command prompt, I got a blue progress bar in the fastboot screen on the tablet and then "FAILED". So I guess that doesn't work either.
Nothing will work?
Try entering fastboot reboot: does your tablet reboot or does it hang?
cm10 is android 4.1 it seems logical that it only runs on a 4.1 bootloader and not on an ics one! most posts must have said that you atleast need jelllybean 4.1.1
I was confused in the beginning aswell because my phone accepts any rom no matter what bootloader version!
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
If it makes so much sense that CM10 with JB 4.1 only boots with the JB bootloader, then how the hell one can go from ICS to CM10?! Google tutorial flash cm10 on asus tf300t stock ics and you'll find a thousand tutorials not one of which says you need JB bootloader. I mean, I assume one could upgrade to the official JB rom and then unlock bootloader, etc, but I'm telling you, every tutorial that said "stock ics to cm10" did no mention the bootloader version issue. I'm not trying toblame anyone other than myself for "bricking" my tablet, but I read so many tutorials to ensure I wouldn't mess it up that I'm very upset about this.
I can use fastboot and adb commands. But I haven't been able to flash the ICS stock rom so far. First of all, it's not on the Asus website anymore, and the one I got from the web gave me this error on CWM "instaling update.. installation aborted". I also tried flashing the .blob via fastboot and it also failed. It seems nothing works. Any thoughts, anyone?

Maybe worth a try ? Never been on ICS myself - just thought I'd mention this source...sorry for wasting your time if this is what you already tried.
Yeah, I tried flashing the ICS 9.4.3.30 (my stock rom) and it didn't fly (said installation aborted) and also tried to flash it as a blob and it failed. I guess I deserve this, but I just can't bellieve this isn't fixable.

We would like to know what bootloader you now have. You use the bootloader menu to get to cwm. Tell us how many ICONS you have and what they are. This way we will have more info to consider options if any.
It's ICS. I have the Wipe Data and the Coldboot option. If I'm connecte with the usb cable, there's also the usb icon.
Currently I don't have the tablet, because I send it to a tech support place and they should give me a repair budget (if they deem it repairable, I guess) by tomorrow, but I'm not confident that they'll be able to fix it. So I'm still open to suggestions. Thanks!

I reread the thread and I believe I would make a blob with just stock recovery (4.03) to match your bootloader. I know fastboot is failing on a complete blob but may process something as small as recovery. The blob could also be pushed to your tablet with adb and flash with that.
I made these choices as a place to begin since we need to match your bootloader.
Once stock recovery was in place we could use adb to push a once unzipped stock firmware (4.03) and get stock recovery to install it for us.
Thanks a lot man. When I get the tablet back and you make me that blob I'll definitely give it a try. Although I have a question, I already have the once unzipped stock ICS on my tablet (pushed it with ADB), how do I install it with stock recovery should flashing that blob work?

With stock recovery in place go into bootloader and pretend you are going into cwm that activates stock recovery now. If android lays down we'll rename the zip to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip and try again.
I'll download 4.03 and make the recovery blob tomorrow so we'll be ready.
Sorry about that. I read "I would make" as "I will make", lol. Is there a stock recovery 4.0.3 blob on the internet for download? I'll get some sleep now, but I'll try to prepare everythng for when I get the tablet back, assuming I don't have fixed for me by tech support (although I'd love not to have to pay forit, right)

No, there is the full blob in the factory firmware and that is what I'll use. It only takes a couple of minutes to extract the recovery image file which might flash and then re-blob just the recovery partition.
Downloading takes longer than everything else.
Update:
This zip contains stock 4.03 recovery as a blob and as an image file.
Unzip and try flashing the blob - if it fails try flashing twice more or until success. If it still fails try flashing the image file - three times if it fails.
Note:
These are to be flashed with fastboot or adb, not cwm.
Great, thanks man. Unfortunately, I won't have my tablet until at least wednesday because of the holiday on my country (independence day and such). But I'll give it a try and get back to you.

I somehow have locked myself out but still have access to CWM and FASTBOOT. So, how do I use FASTBOOT to install a rom? Is it even possible? I just flashed CWM again, but still cannot get my CWM Backup copy to work.
up.
My friend has same issue, change build.prop.. no backup, no adb, only fastboot with cwm. Any ideas? Ext SD don't work in CWM\TWRP.
upd: Answer myself - Plug into usb in recovery, update driver in device manager to ADB Device, use adb

The command you can used to flash a zipped ROM like the stock one from Asus is...
Fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash system yourrom.zip
I usually flash these using twrp recovery but I think that will do it.

Maybe I just can't follow instructions or anythng, but I attempted my first ROM flash and it didn't work.
I tried the Blackbean 5 ROM, with TWRP. I found a set of instructions saying how to flash with TWRP, so I followed them, and I think I've soft-bricked my TF300T. Just stays on the Asus logo, and in top left it says "The Device is UnLocked."
I DID make a recovery in TWRP, and I attempted to flash that back with no luck.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, so can someone help me out here?

Background first when stock were you JB or ICS? Blackbean OP does not specify. At the moment I'm to lazy to read through thread or flash to find the answer. If you were on stock JB you can only use JB roms, if you were on ICS you can only use JB after stock upgrade to JB.
Forget Blackbean for now and let's concentrate on getting you fully functional on stock again. If you were on ICS then download stock 9.4.3.30 and unzip once that leaves you with a zip. Place that zip on your ( /sdcard ) or external sdcard ( /Removable/MicroSD ) and flash with Twrp. If you were JB then the instructions are the same except use stock 10.4.2.13.
If you do this you will loose your recovery ( Twrp ) but you should have a functional unit.
Non stock rom install.
Be sure you use proper rom for your bootloader ( ICS or JB ). Choose one that gives you instructions as to what to wipe, etc. You can adlib after you get your feet wet. If the op gives instructions use them if not then you may or may not have a happy ending with generic instructions.:good:
If you need anything explained let me know and I'll step by step for what you don't understand.
The reply you tried to follow said "I think", you should have investigated before following. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that was incorrect but the poster was in doubt and you should be also.
When we say "I think" we kind of assume you are going to do some reading and be comfortable with everything before you continue.
I took a little time to look over Blackbean and as I suspected it is for the ICS bootloader not JB.
same problem
I am having the exact same problem. I did manage to install the clean rom 2.5 custom rom successfully originally, and i made a backup through CWM, but I cant install any other rom on there for some reason. Yesterday I managed to go back to stock Asus jellybean rom successfully, and then had to root it and install CWM again successfully. I have again tried again today to install that EuroSkank rom, but alas, I get stuck at the ASUS boot logo permanently and nothing happens?
What might I be doing wrong??
I am on Jellybean. Thankfully the CWM is working fine and I could also restore my cleanrom2.5 backup.

( EuroSkank ) is also an ICS rom not JB - Clean rom 2.5 is JB. For now unless you have NVFlash you can't go back to ICS from JB and you can't run ICS rom with JB bootloader. (I'm using ICS and JB here to declare the bootloader )
Ok, Thank you very much.

It doesn't work for me (dunno why) but it's something
Hello everyone,
My problem is this: I wanted to install a CM10 nightly on the device, so I root using the DebugfsRoot method, install rom manager, flash a recovery, try to install a ROM and it did not work. Rebooting into recovery got me the red triangle, but using the volume buttons allowed me to get in (only it did not have the option to install updates or anything. I think it was just he mounting and partition options)
Since I did not unlock the device before doing this, I chose to do so using ASUS's unlock utility. Once done, I tried booting into recovery, but the device would be stuck at "booting recovery kernel image" and won't budge. I tried flashing different version of CW but it did not seem to work.
Finally, for some reason, I chose the "wipe data" option from the bootloader and the device was stuck, again, at "booting recovery kernel image", only this time I can't boot into a ROM nor can I boot back into bootloader.
What happens when I boot using power and volume down is this:-
The device is Unlocked
Android cardhu-user bootloader <2.10 e> released by "US_epad-9.4.5.26-20120720" A03
Checking for android ota recovery
Booting recovery kernel image
and then everything's stuck.
Booting normally makes the device stop at "the device is unlocked" message because, I assume, there is no ROM flashed into the device.
Thanks for helping in advance.
It's not just that I can't get the unit to go into recovery, It's that I can't even get to fastboot (it tries to go into recovery every time I try to get into fastboot)

I believe your device is bricked. Using a wrong version of custom recovery may caused this. I haven't seen anyone able to fix the issue that you having right now, the only thing is to send out to Asus for repair.

So, if I get it repaired/replaced, what version of CW recovery should I get? It seems that there is not, yet, a version for the Infinity tab. I really want to get a custom ROM because the stuff ASUS has slapped on their version of Android gets under my skin.

I would NOT recommend you do so with tf300 on tf700. There is no pure stock debloated version for JB, however, if you want to stay as close as stock and stable I would recommend "Cleanrom for JB". This rom doesn't have Asus bloatware and a few performance tweaks make it very good.

So I got it replaced (Best Buy swapped it for a new one) and everything's fine. I even installed Clean ROM and it's good. Problem is that the left speaker is not working and I need to flash the stock ROM to make sure it's nothing caused by software, before I go back and re-return the unit. However, ASUS's firmware is not longer wanting to flash. It gives me the "failed" message in TWR's recovery (no backup because my internal memory was wiped when installing ASUS's JB update :/)
EDIT: Never mind. I thought the holes at the bottom, on either side of the USP port, were the speakers. Turns out I was not thinking straight. Still, I'd like to know if anyone has an idea as to why the ASUS firmware is not wanting to install.

You can't install the ASUS firmware through custom recovery. It has to be stock. I believe there are signature checks that prevent it from installing otherwise.

You know, I unzipped the file the first time I installed it to get Clean ROM to flash, I had the unzipped folder there yet I managed to forget to use the unzipped file. /InfiniteFacePalm
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....

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?

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.

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.

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.

Hi i'm new to all of this but after reading a lot i decided to root my asus Tf300t and instaled a recovery ( CWM).
i instaled a custom rom ( cleanrom 3.4.2) and everything was working good ,but i decided to flash the Unters kernel for Tf 300T.
It reboots and a message appears Android is upgrading Panel Firmware 0%. After that Touch Screen never worked again .
I tried reinstalling cleanrom , stock rom downloaded from Asus Website WW_epad 10_4_2_20 was flashed with fastboot without
results. I do not know what to do next , any help is really appreciated.

This happened to me once. You must make sure that the CWM you installed is for JB, not ICS. Even then, CMW might give you problems. I tried to flash the stock rom you mentioned (10_4_2_20) from CWM recovery without success. I extracted the above ROM twice in my laptop. First try gave another zip file*. The second time would create a folder with a blob file inside. I transferred that blob to the platform-tools folder. Went to CMD (run as administrator) in Windows, then to the platform-tools folder, and issued the following commands:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob
took a few minutes to finish (rebooted a few times if my recollection serves me right. You might want to check other threads for accuracy). Once done, type:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
You're done. Custom recovery has been overwritten. If you want TWRP, you can install it again with ADB. Hope this helps.
* I've been flashing this zip file with TWRP recovery without encountering any glitches.
Thanks for your quick reply. Did what you told me but without success.
I forgot to say that the first time I loaded the stock rom 10_4_2_20, automatically lost the CWM recovery and as I have no dock can not even have
access to anything. Also I can not load the recovery again.
I talked to ASUS support and postage plus diagnosis is 50 € plus the cost of repair. And if I choose to send it to ASUS, the pad is locked again.
I do not know what to do anymore.
:crying:
What do you think I can do more?

If this thing doesn't boot and you've no access to custom recovery, I can't suggest anything more. Sorry. Does it show in windows as fastboot device? What does ADB say when you type the command?
I do not think you understood well, I can do the boot, the touchscreen does not work after having appeared "Android is updating Firmware Panel 0%."
As I do not have a dock, the pad stays at the initial settings menu when a new rom is flashed because touchscreen do not work.
My problem is only the touchscreen .
And now because i flashed stock rom i lost recovery and from now on i can not enable install from insecure locations in android .
For that reason the pad w'ont let me install another recovery again.

Evidently, I have a hard time making out what you're saying. For instance, this: "from now on i can not enable install from insecure locations in android.." What are insecure locations in Android? Beats me.
In short, you're right. The reason I gave directions was that I thought you were asking for a way to flash stock ROM (104220), which apparently you already had ("..because i flashed stock rom i lost recovery..."). If you already have the latest stock ROM on, then I totally misunderstood. Forget I ever said anything.
Thanks for trying to help me.What i mean with unknown sources is an option in Android settings - Security-allow programs install from unsecure locations
I think this is more clearly now.

That setting in android has nothing to do with flashing a recovery from fast boot. Can you get to fastboot? Yes? Then you can flash a recovery from a PC.
there a new update rolling just wait
it may fix your problem first go back to stock
Yes i can use fastboot but if i try to flash a .IMG recovery it gives me always error, but if i flash stock blob files it goês OK .That's why i thougt that was necessary to enable install apps from unsecure locations.
OK i went to stock but touch screen still not working.
try cold booting 2 times
Tryed cold boot 5 times.Didn't work.I think that the problem is with painel driver .I want to know if driver is loaded with ROM or not.
This is solved. I sent the tablet to ASUS and they despite being unlocked, solved the problem without any cost, because it was not a root cause
that this happened, and activated the Asus warranty. I must say they were very honest and professional.
Congratulations ASUS.:good:
Hi,
Sorry for the noob question here, I've managed to get myself very confused as to the state of my tf700t.
Some time ago I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my device (stock ROM with su I believe) and installed TWRP. All was well, but of course I couldn't get Android 4.2 OTA, so given I don't really use root much I decided to try to get back as close to stock as possible. I downloaded the 10.4.4.20 firmware from Asus and flashed it in using TWRP, so far so good.
Still no option to OTA, so I figured I would download and flash 10.6.1.14 instead and do the same thing, but I have problems! If I boot into recovery, instead of TWRP I get the android logo with the open door and spinning blue icosahedron. Poor old android then keels over backwards with an open chest and an alert sign. The tablet then reboots normally.
Question 1: Have I overwritten my recovery when I flashed the stock ROM? - I'm not sure if the ROMs should even overwrite the recovery partition; if this shouldn't happen, are there any clues as to what I have done?
The system actually recognises that I have 10.6.1.14 on my SD card and offers to install it, but that reboots and gives me the same dead android lying on his back. Question 2: Could this be related to the (broken?) recovery image, or could it just be a duff download of the firmware?
I suppose the bug question is how should i proceed? Should I look for a way to re-root the device, reinstall TWRP (maybe using goomanager) and flash again or am I just hopelessly misunderstanding where I am? Many thanks for any steers you chaps can offer.

The stock Asus firmware includes bootloader, kernel, recovery and apps. You have flashed the stock recovery. Head over to the twrp thread or my ROM thread in my sig to see how to get twrp 2.5 onto your tab.

Yes, you did. Everytime you install stock file of any version, it will update your bootloader, rom, and kernel. Just use Motochopper to root your device and reinstall your custom recovery with goomanager.
No, it is stock recovery. Just reroot with motochopper and install custom recovery with goomanager. Have fun. :good:
Right, thanks! If I want to stay completely stock I just need to figure out why the newer update is failing. Could be the file name now I think about it.
Otherwise I'll re-root and re-TWRP...

The Android on his back is your stock recovery and it does not find a valid update file.
Weird is, that your system seems to see the 10.6.1.14 file (I assume you get an automatic notification and click "install" or "update" ) and then the recovery does not seem to install it...?
You could have a bad download, so try that first if you want to get the latest stock rom, or you can try to rename the downloaded file to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip, put it on your microSD card and reboot into recovery. The recovery should recognize the update file and start flashing it.
But since you are unlocked anyway - why don't you give CromiX a try? It runs so much better than the stock rom!
And for that, yes you would have to root again using the Motochopper tool and then install TWRP 2.5 with Goo Manager.
If you go that route make sure you flash the latest bootloader from the OP of the CROMiX thread first, boot back into your old rom once before you flash CROMiX.

Alright, I'm convinced - I'll try going totally custom! Presumably CromiX handles the external keyboard and touch pad properly?

It's based on the stock rom, cleaned up and tweaked and optimized. Everything works - and better than on stock! I recommend selecting the option to disable fsync during installation. It boosts performance considerably, and since the rom is totally stable, the "risk" is neglible.
You will love it!

OK, ChromiX installed! Looks interesting already, will tinker with it over the next couple of days.
