Custom ROMS not working - Asus Transformer TF700

Hey all,
Just tried to install a new copy of Cyanogenmod (had CM10 flashed) and now no matter what ROM I try, it just its at the bootlogo. I've tried the stock ASUS ROM, which works, and CleanROM and CM, which don't. Any reason this would be happening? I'm using TWRP (latest) for the recovery and wiping the caches after each flash.

If you change from one custom rom to another rom, you may need to do a factory reset, wipe both caches and data. If it still does not work for you, you may need to back up your personal data to your external SD and do a format in TWRP. Then you can try to install a new custom rom. Good luck.

If you flash from CM to CROMi-X and vice versa you have to do a clean install, meaning a factory reset in TWRP prior to flashing. Wiping cache and Dalvik is not enough.
If you flashed the stock rom - are you sure you still have TWRP?? Installing stock would wipe your custom recovery....

With the current economy, life is tough for every one. It is not just SoCal. Just hang in there bro, you should be fine..

I thought that a factory reset made the unit like it just came out or the box.
So wouldn't you lose the root?

A 'Factory Reset' in TWRP is different from a factory reset on stock.
TWRP configured the recovery so that a 'Factory Reset' (default option under the 'Wipe' menu) wipes the /data partition except the data/media folder where your personal files like pictures, videos, etc live.
Your root is in the /system partition and is not affected.
A factory reset from Settings wipes all user apps and data. But I don't think you would lose root either - I could be wrong.....
But anyway - I wouldn't use the Settings>Backup&Restore>Factory Reset option with a custom recovery installed. No idea what that would do...
You definitely loose root if you re-flash the stock firmware

Thanks in advance for any help

After installing the 3G toggler, did you actually Flash 3G disabler?

Which version of Prime did you use?
If it's 2.1.0 it shouldn't have the 3G script in it.
Seems like that's what solved it for this member at least

yes its 2.1.0 withe the 2.1.1 patch. just flashed the diabler again with no change. just shows TF101G

You might want to back up your apps and do a full wipe and flash again.
Restore app + app data only and not system data. Good luck man hope you get it
working
Did a full wipe by flashing the android revolution full wipe and tried 3 different roms including the android revolution I originally had and nothing will change it back to tf101. Any other ideas?

[Q] Is it possible to go from a 4.2.1 rom to a 4.1 rom

So I flashed CM10.1 and I decided against it, so then i did a full wipe and tried flashing Hydro 4.1 and I got suck of the boot logo. No matter many times i wiped and flashed, it would not work, I even wiped my user data. Then I tried flashing CM again and that worked, but still no luck with hydro

Yes it is possible. I have gone from CM 10.1 to CleanROM 3.2 several times without any problems
Not sure why you are getting a bootloop, but i can say that i had a similar problem with The Ultra Fast ROM from surdu_petru. I tried manny times but did not work. I havent tried this, but after installing Hydro try to wipe dalvik chache.
BTW, what recovery are you using?
Twrp

Seems to me hydro is based on stock and flash directions have you on stock prior to flashing. Stock kernel required before flashing hydro and several others.
Good Luck!
@up yes. When you try to install Officall Asus Jelly Bean Hydro, you have to install Asus stock JB, and at the next you should format System and flash JB Hydro.

[Q]My problem with stock and stock based ROM

Hi everyone,
When I use stock or stock based roms and I "Wipe cache and dalvik cache" ONCE then I keep getting Android is upgrading EVERYTIME I boot up. Does anyone know how to fix this or what kind of problem is this

Me too have the same problem. I'm currently on CROMI 3.2. When i upgraded CROMI from 3.0.4 -> 3.1.1 problem has started. I havent't got any idea to fix the problem.

Zip align feature? What is that?
Sent from my TF300T using Tapatalk HD
It is listed as one of the features of cleanrom to zip align on boot. I have read that when apps are zip aligned that performance is better.

I'm sorry if you haven't previously been on cleanrom or one of the others that uses zipalign then I don't know the reason for your issue.
I'll try to do some poking around to emulate the problem. Stock, which version? I run 10.4.2.18 as my baseline rom and have never seen your issue. What rom were you on previously?
I'll flash your previous setup and then your current to recreate the issue!

Well it started when I use energy ROM, but then I move to stock ROM .18 then .20. Both .18 and .20 when I wipe cache and dalvik cache once then it started...Maybe it's because I have official zip (.20) in my eternal memory... But I don't think that's the problem. Now I'm using CM10.1.

OK! Energy is stock 10.4.2.18 and zipaligned!
Are you having the issue on CM10.1?
I'm downloading Energy now so it will be a bit.

Good, I'm glad you have managed to lose the problem. I have not been able to create the issue with energy rom. After flashing I don't have the problem or zipalign. I flashed both the regular and the debloated without an issue but as I said I don't find zipalign in the rom even though it is stated as a feature.

Why do you think it is an issue? It takes 3 sets to complete. It's just a bug, ignore it and worry about something more serious :victory:

Odd issue with cwm for JB.

Ok I hope you all can help sort something out for me. I just got a refurbished TF300T a couple days ago. I unlocked it in ICS and then it forced the OTA of 4.1.1 on me. I had no problem getting ADB drivers in and flashed the jelly bean recovery. I rebooted into recovery and there was cwm. I tried flashing the rootzip that is out there but it did not work. I then tried to do a bakup and it failed. I then realized i could not see emmc only sd.
Any ideas.
I have a rooted modded nooktab so i am somewhat familar with these devices but i am stumped.
Thanks for the help

I'd try manually flashing the firmware and then flashing CWM again, or TWRP which some users will argue is much better than CWM.

Thanks for the tips. Yea in a tough spot. Not sure what to do. I will,search around. You think flashing the firmware will work. Should i flash stock recovery too.
Odd issue. Wonder why they did this?

Just read the post again if you are still on 4.1.1 the disreguard what i had mention theres probably away to fix which im sure some one can help but what i had talked about was the 4.2.1 jb update attempting to root on that is a no go. So just ignore that post. I'm on stock 4.2.1 but unlocked bootloader so can't help there cant go any further myself at the moment.
In my setup menu theres an option to add seperate users some seem to think that it encrypts the information so another person who has access under another user name cant see another person info. Sound logical to me but really messed things up for us.
Now still thats all just speculation no one knows for sure what the exact issue is with the 4.2.1 update is yet but best advice is to wait till it's figured out.

[Q] Clean ROM and Flash

Took the jump and rooted, unlocked and put Clean ROM on my tablet.
What a huge difference.....
Everything is working great, except I can't get Flash to work in my browser.
I downloaded the newest version of Flash, and installed it, then re-installed Boat Browser, still doesn't work.
Any ideas? Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks for the help....
