Hi guys ! So I installed the CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.7 and got stuck in bootloop. I read somewhere that it's not compatible with the newest version of the bootloader 4.2.1 ? And that I need to install CleanROM Xenogenesis to get it to work.
So how do I transfer the file over to my tablet when I can't boot ?
One thing that might work for me is the backup.
I backed up my stock ROM. Should I restore it ? And what do I need to wipe before I restore it ?
And also what do I wipe before I install CleanROM Xenogenesis then I reach that stage ?
I'm was on the latest version from Asus before flasing CleanROM
And I'm running TWRP 2.6
Cheers !
Downgrades from Android 4.2 to Android 4.1 are usually not supported - you need to wipe your data partition, or install CROMI-X.
Basically as _that says you have tried to install android 4.1.1 over android 4.2.1 without a wipe. That's a bootloop as you found out.
So, do a restore from your nandroid backup (you did backup first right?) and either install CROMi-X which is for your bootloader or wipe and install CROMI again.

I have a asus tf300t running 4.2.1 with unlocked bootloader and root. I am running twrp v2.5.0.0 and I have already made backups of my apps. I am trying to install a custom rom. Preferably PACman rom but at this point any will do. When I try to flash the rom it go through the whole process then reboots but does not get past the asus splash screen.
What is the problem? Is it that the new bootloader does not accept any custom roms, if so how do I downgrade to 4.1? Otherwise I am open to any advice.

You must be on Jelly Bean 4.2.1
with the Asus Stock bootloader 10.6.1.8 and TWRP Recovery patched 2.4.4.0
or
Bootloader 10.1.15.3 and TWRP patched 2.5.0.0
You will find all versions of Stock firmwares and Stock kernels here
And the TWRP recoveries here

I am currently running the 10.1.15.3 bootloader and TWRP 2.5.0.0, yet it still does not finish flashing the ROM. I even tried to flash a more simple stock based ROM, ie. black beans 8. This did not work either. It went through the twrp flash and restarted but when it got to the ASUS boot up screen it simply stopped. I waited about 10 minutes for it to possibly load however it never did. So I am restored back to my stock and am awaiting any further help.

In the OP for PACman rom it says you must be on android 4.1.1 to flash his rom. You need to pick a rom for your 4.2.1. I am also on 4.2.1 and run CROMI 4.6.6 with no issues. Have also succesfully tried the Energy rom. Read carefully the OP for the rom's you are considering and make sure they are for 4.2.1

I am having the same problem! I am running 4.2.1 and im trying to install blackbean 8 using twrp 2.5.0.0. I factory reset in twrp and wipe cache and dalvic. I then install the the rom and reboot but it will not go past the first boot screen with the tegra logo in the bottom right. It always flashes for a second but then does nothing. I have even tried cm 10.1 and it does the exact same thing. I am still able to restore back to stock. This is my first time flashing a rom so any help would be appreciated!
For the latest [ROM][4.2.2][ OFFICIAL] PAC-man v23.0.0 [OC up to 1.7GHz][New Update 22/06/2013], if you read the installation process, you need to be 4.1.1 and not 4.2.1 and also you need installed custom recovery for JB 4.1 BL !
For the latest [ROM]ASU-JellyBean-Hydro 8 (6/29/13)Liquid Butter..- Tf300 -Official 10.6.1.15.3 Base, you need to be on 4.2.1 and 10.6.15.3 bootloader
and you will see to the changelog:
...not sure if any bootloader will work...

Hope it's helpful for you
Hi,
I'm on Hydro 4.4A (android 4.0.3, unlocked BL, rooted, CWM). I want to end up with CROMI 4.7
To do so, do I need to
1) flash stock ICS (V9.4.3.30)
2) flash to 4.1 (V10.4.2.9)
3) flash TWRP 2.5 for JB
4) flash to 4.2.1 (V10.6.1.15.3)
5) flash TWRP 2.5 for 4.2
6) flash CROMI 4.7
or can I skip some steps?
Sorry for asking, it's been a long time since I've followed TF300 developments. Thanks!
My TF300T still has the old stock firmware from October 2012 (4.1).
It is unlocked and has TWRP from february 2013.
Now I will be jumping to a current custom firmware (Crombi-kk 4.4).
If I understand correctly, I have to flash the latest STOCK firmware (V10.6.1.27.5 android 4.2) and install the new CWM/TWRP before I can flash a custom firmware.
My main worry is flashing the newest stock rom on my already TWRP/rooted/unlocked TF300T. Will that cause a problem or will the stock firmware wipe everything clean (except for the unlock)?
Also, the unlock utility on Asus's website is made for 4.2 only. When I unlocked my TF300T, it was 4.1. What will happen when I flash the stock 4.2? Will my 4.1 unlock cause problems or will it be wiped, or will it still be effective?

We can get you where you need to be and than we can post what we did back here so everyone can see what we did...
Thx Josh
Thanks for your offer. I actually got the green light on the CM 4.4.x Q&A thread.
I read that flashing the CWM for 4.1 would brick your tablet if you had 4.2 installed, so I was worried that flashing 4.2 on top of an existing 4.1 CWM would brick it as well. It turns out it simply removes the CWM entirely. Good times.
Basically what I ended up doing was:
1 - Transfer the latest official TF300T firmware (zip file) onto an SD card.
2 - Start my TF300T with my old (4.1) CWM recovery and select to flash my android with the zip file on the SD card.
3 - The TF300T bootloader stayed unlocked, but the old CWM was gone.
4 - Using ADB: Upload & flash the new CWM Philz Touch
5 - Install/flash the desired custom rom (from within CWM using SD card)
6 - Restore to factory default (from within CWM)
Now I even installed Grimlock's kernel to allow overclocking.
My TF300T has a new life. It is now very much acceptable in terms of speed.
I am going to flash the 4.4.4. KatKiss ROM (currently my 101 is on KatKiss 4.3.1)
I am planning a full format / wipe....do I need this or can I just flash the ROM with TWRP?
What version of TWRP is recommended for this ROM? I am on 2.3.1.
If I have to upgrade TWRP, what is the best way to do it? I have heard ADB is not recommended??? What about TWRP manager on GooglePlay?
Thanks a lot - Love the ROM, and the help!

You should be able to just wipe SYSTEM, CACHE and DALVIK CACHE and flash the ROM and GAPPS
IIRC it's fine doing it that way for upgrading, but if you ever wanted to return to a lower version of Android, you'd have to factory reset / format everything
You should be good to go with that version of TWRP, I use 2.3.2.3 but unfortunately the Goo Manager used for upgrading TWRP has been dropped, so you'd need to use a flashable zip to update
Flash from your current version of TWRP, then reboot back into Android to complete the update, once back in Android, you can boot into your new TWRP and flash your new 4.4.4 ROM

I currently am running CleanROM 3.0.3 Inheritance, android 4.1.1 bootloader 10.4.2.18-20121122 and twrp 2.3.1.0. I would like to be running KatKiss Lillipop.
As far as I can tell, if I can update my bootloader to the 4.2 version I should be able to flash the latest twrp and then KatKiss, but I need help to update my bootloader.

Use fastboot to install the new Stock ROM by flashing the system blob. Then reboot and install the 2.8 TWRP, then the KatKiss ROM.
Solved

Thanks! Worked out great. In case anyone else has a similar problem, I followed this guide by pjc21, flashed the 10.6.1.27 blob directly from 10.4.2.18, and then flashed the latest TWRP and then KatKiss. Worked out great!
