clean rom

Looking for some input on clean ROM on the TF300T,
This is my second time trying to install it and both times it was successful, however as soon as the boot image loads up it stays stuck loading... I did download the file again thinking it may have been corrupted.
It has been sitting there loading for 20 minutes now.
I am using cwm the latest version and I did not install a kernel still running stock
Any ideas on what could cause this?

CWM has issues on this unit. Many, many complaints. I use twrp. If you decide to use twrp be sure to choose JB and tf300t version.

Clean ROM is freaking amazing! Seriously just do it I love the mods I can make for it too! Can't wait till I get my volume long press seek mod done! Love this device!

I initially when i first rooted intalled Twrp however i was not able to flash anything at all with it, it would give me errors.... that is the only reason i went to cwm.... I was able to make backups and restores with but ROMs flashing would just fail

OK. It was just a suggestion since the problem you are experiencing is usually cleared by using twrp.

I'm sorry it is hard to tell since you have chosen an older twrp to install. The current is five versions later and was updated as the kernels were updated to account for changes. The rom you are flashing is based on 10.4.4.25.

Use TWRP 2.4.1.0
You are using a very old version of TWRP that has bugs with AROMA installer. So that is most likely where your issues are.

What ROM are you ccoming from? What boot loader are you on.
Sounds to me like you need to upgrade your boot loader and possibly do a full wipe - make sure you are on latest TWRP first otherwise you could brick if you use an older recovery!

The only ROM i was able to flash that was fully functioning is cm10.1,
i have also flashed PA 2.9 but had some bugs i couldn't stand (screen rotation not working, extended desktop with no pie)
as for boot loader it says 1.00e by "US _Epad-10.4.2.20-20121228" A03
I just updated the TWRP as recommended on the other post (v2.4.1.0)
on every flash i wipe dalvik / Cache / Factory reset.
Before attempting to boot into Clean Rom i also followed the steps on screen saying to wipe cache and dalvik.
I m hoping PA releases a 3.0 for this device and/or i m able to get Clean rom running

If you are coming from cm10.1 you will definitely need to do a full wipe as it is non stock. It does say this in the first post. You only do a dalvik and cache wipe when upgrading from the same ROM or in CROMI's case from stock.
Do a data wipe in recovery, make sure you have a titanium backup or equivalent if you want to restore apps.

Success!!!
It worked perfectly fine after i install the back up i did before i flashed my 1st costume rom,
I rooted made a back up at stock/rooted... It just would not install from a full wipe,
it install fine once i flashed that specific backup and dirty flashed then wiped dalvik and cache before booting.

[Q] Strange Bootloop TF700?

My Infinity won't boot any rom, not even stock. It will get stuck in a few second and reboot.
I was on the 10.6.1.14.4 bootloader and cm-20130430. I decided to try CROMI X 4.4 and downloaded the bootloader + twpr flasher (http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22909751817928748) because it was the fastest way to get twpr. When the bootloader + twpr was flashed I rebooted back into recovery and wiped everything. Then I flashed CROMI X 4.4, but it was bootlooping.
I tried other roms but they also started bootlooping. I tried different bootloaders, like the one from dasunsrule32. I even went back to 4.1.1 bootloader + stock firmware from the Asus' site.
Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this?

You didn't write that you wiped /data when you moved from CM to CROMI, so try that.

Sorry, I forgot to say that I wiped /data before flashing CROMI. I have tried almost every rom/bootloader but it's still bootlooping . I'm afraid it has something to do with the bootloader, I hope someone has a solution.

Does it hang at the boot animation, or does it constantly reboot to the bootloader screen?

I have found a solution. Instead of a factory reset I wiped the entire internal storage and also found an option 'format data' in a older version of twpr. When I did both my tablet booted back into Android. Went through the process of flashing the new bootloader again and now I am on CROMI X 4.4 without any problems.
Thanks for helping

Switching from CM10.1 to Cromi-X, help me please :D

Hi guys, I have rooted and unlocked my TF700 few days ago. Currently with CWM recovery and CM10.1. I would like to change to Cromi-X for its faster performance. I am pretty new to this kind of stuff. From the Cromi-x TF700 developer page, it says TF700 user should be on stock 4.2.1. before flashing this ROM. Is there other way of doing it? What are the instructions to do so? Factory reset using custom recovery? install TWRP and bootloader? Step-by-Step instructions would be the best! Thank you so much! Would really appreciate it.:laugh::laugh:
FIY: I was on stock 4.2.1 before flashing CM10.1.

Thanks a lot for your swift reply LetMeKnow! Yea that was the forum I was talking about. Just that I am not quite sure about few things in the OP.
From the OP:
"STEP 2 TF700 ONLY – I have a custom recovery installed but not the latest bootloader
If you are currently unlocked and on a JB 4.1.1/10.4.4.25 based custom rom like CleanROM Inheritance 3.x and have a custom recovery installed:
I recommend you install the appropriate Bootloader Recovery package below as the safest route to upgrade to CROMi-X. This can be flashed from any custom recovery "
1) I am on 4.2.1, can I still proceed with the same method?
2) So I am supposed to flash TWRP and bootloader using the CWM recovery that I already have? Or should I use the fastboot command method? Just to make sure as I don't wanna brick my tablet.

I would love to help you further but I never use CWM. Therefore, it would be safe if someone has a better knowledge to help you out. _that, Sbdags, and others will have a good answer for you. They are very active in helping others users like you and me..

You can flash latest Cromix on top of CM10.1 even if you are using CWM (btw using CWM for CM roms is not mandatory,TWRP will work fine too).
I do recommend a clean install ( factory restore before flashing Cromi) but you could also try a "dirty" flash ( so your apps are not wiped) first and see if all works fine.
On a side note you should also try the CM10.2 experimental build,it's working nice here .

Thank you so much Pretoriano! Would carefully proceed to flash it tonight, hopefully nothing will go wrong. In your opinion, do you think Cromi-X has better performance(in terms of speed and smoothness) over CM? Because I still find lags and what not in CM10.1.

Not using Cromi-X so i can't tell but you should try different roms yourself, trust me on that.But don't expect miracles from any rom,this device it is what it is.sometimes works nice then at some point starts to lag,self-reboot and act like crap.Latest CM10.2 looks good so far but the best way to prove it is to install all your usual apps and use it for some time,then decide if it's a keeper.
As for Cromi-X or other roms,i don't know if Journaling is disabled by default,but if it is keep in mind that is just a workaroud which trade stability for performance.
Personally i've build a custom rom for myself based on Asus firmware,removed some bloatware,patched to have the advanced power menu,used some init.d scripts wich you can find here on XDA and honestly performs just fine,no dangerous tweaks applied or task manager.

You definitely should switch to TWRP recovery. It's working fine with both CM and stock based roms like CROMi-X, whereas there have been issues if you use CWM with stock based roms.
You do have to do a clean install if you go from CM to CROMi-X.

You always should do a nandroid backup of your old setup/rom before you flash anything new.
In TWRP 'Factory Reset' is the default selection under the 'Wipe' menu. It will wipe your /data partition except for your /data/media/ folder where your personal stuff lives.
Naturally, you should have a backup of all your stuff anyway!
Data nor backed up is data not yet lost
Edit: To literally answer your question: A clean install is wiping data and system partitions as well as cache and Dalvik. If you flash CROMi-X (and I believe that's true for most custom roms), the system partition will get formatted before the new rom installation as part of the installation process. Wiping Cache and Dalvik is the default when installing CROMi-X, so you don't need to do that either. Just factory reset before flashing and you'll be good.
If you want to go squeaky clean, you would do a format data in TWRP (under the Wipe > Advanced menu). But that will erase your entire data partition, so you definitely have to have everything you care about backed up.

That's a very clear explanation from you!:good::good: Certainly helps me a lot. One last question berndblb, can I flash TWRP over my current CWM directly(worry that it will cause or brick or whatsoever) before doing a factory reset? Or it is advisable to do a factory reset using CWM only then I flash the TWRP? Sorry if my question sounds dumb, because I am really new to all these stuff.

Your first step should be to replace the CWM recovery. A factory reset only affects your data partition - no need to do that in CWM.
The main thing is that you have at all times a compatible bootloader/recovery combination. If you have the 10.6.1.14.4 or 10.6.1.14.8 bootloader, you can download GooManager, tap the 3 dots in the upper right corner and select "Install Open Recovery Script". It will install the latest TWRP version 2.6 over CWM. I am not sure if your CM version is compatible with TWRP 2.6 - so better check on that.
But once you have TWRP installed, you can proceed as described earlier.
Your questions are absolutely fine. Read everything you can find 5 times, ask 3 times, flash once - if and when you're sure! :Good:
One more thing: If you decide you do a factory reset or format data in TWRP, make sure you have the rom you want to flash (and I highly recommend CROMi-X 4.7) on your external microSD - it's safer that way. You may have to navigate to your microSD in TWRP under the 'Install' menu. By default TWRP shows your internal SD. Just tap that field and navigate to your external, select the CROMi-X zip and flash it.
The microSD has to be FAT32. It you never changed the factory format, you're good.

You can flash twrp on top of cwm no probs. I do it all the time. CROMi-X does work fine on cwm 6.0.3.0+
You will 100% need to wipe data (factory wipe good enough) before flashing CROMi-X. Good luck.

Puzzling problem...need help

I have the original ASUS Transformer and have been having issues. I have tried a 4.3.1 rom and a couple 4.2.2 ROMs. All have the same problem. For some reason after flashing the ROM and the proper GAPPS, the talet cannot be restarted. The ASUS screen comes up and then either a black screen will popup and the tablet will reboot, or the tablet will be stuck in a loop on the ROMs logo screen.
Not sure what is going on. Ideas?
Thanks

TWRP 2.3.2.3. Latest fro GooManager. I tried the unofficial newer build in the Dev forums...but I could no flash CM 10.2 so had to go to the older official version

Strange...

tell me about it

CM 10 at 4.2.1 seems to be working fine. Odd but it will do. My mom's tablet and she wont know the difference.

By chance did you *not* format after you did the wipe?

[Q] Crombi-kk stuck in boot animation? [SOLVED]

I'm new to the custom mod scene but finally really got feed up with the lag on my asus TF700T tablet. Although i made a couple of rookie mistakes, the install of Cromi-x 5.4 was fairly smooth. However, some of the appsi want to use now require a min android version 4.2.2 and Cromi-X is based on android 4.2.1. I thought i read that i can flash crombi-kk over CROMI-X, So I tried to flash Crombi-kk over Cromi-X. The flash went smoothly but when it booted, it appears to get stuck in the Crombi-kk boot animation screen. I let it sit for about 45 minutes with no change and recovered back to Cromi-X. I'm running ClockworkMod Recovery v 6.0.4.7. I think i saw another post recently that it may take up to 2 hours to build.
Was the system really stuck or was i just a bit too impatient? Can it take up to 2 hours in the boot animation screen?
I also tried to go back to the stock rom but the flash threw an error and aborted the flash process. If i need to go back to the stock rom, I will try again to get the exact error message.

No it should never take 2 hours for anythings to happen.....
Let see what has happened and see if we can get you on the right path ....
What is your bootloader version ?
I would highly recommend installing the lastest TWRP 2.7.1.1 ......
Did you do a full wipe before installing our rom ?
That will be a good start for me to understand what is going on ....
Thx Josh

I'd be willing to put money down that you dirty flashed CROMBi-KK over CROMi-X, which you can't do since they have a different base. Well - you can, but the result would pretty much what you are seeing now..
Wipe data, cache and dalvik in recovery, reflash CROMBi-KK and it'll boot.

You were correct. I went back and wiped the data and cache via recovery and then wiped the dalvik cache which I did not do before (it was barried in the advanced section). Then flashed Crombi-KK. Everything went smoothly. Thanks for your help!
P.S., what is the dalvik cache?

Did you do a full wipe before installing our rom ?
That will be a good start for me to understand what is going on ....
Thx Josh

I'm having the same issue. I've done a full wipe and I'm running TWRP 2.8.7.0 and it still gets stuck in the boot animation screen for crombi kk. My bootloader is cleanrom 3.4.7 10.4.4.25. How do you go about fix it?

If that info is correct (where did you find it?) you are on JB 4.1 bootloader and trying to run a KitKat rom. That won't work my friend.
You probably should start reading from scratch here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2688891
Start with post 3: "How to update your bootloader" because that is the first thing you need to do.
Then go to to the OP for basic info about flashing a recovery and rom.
Next update your recovery to the latest TWRP 3.0.x
Then format data in TWRP, change the file system on data to f2fs and flash either KatKiss Katshmallow or CROMi-X Resurrected (read post2 of that thread). Start with KatKiss, run it a while, then try CROMi-X or vice versa.
Profit

Another question: can I flash the asus bootloader over the custom bootloader is that' possible? I have cm-11.0-20140322-CROMBikk4.4.2-tf700t_Signed.zip downloaded. Is this the right one?

I think you are confusing a rom with a bootloader! That file you mentioned is a crombi rom, not a bootloader!
You do not have a custom bootloader. It is always the Asus BL, no matter which rom you are running.
Did you check your BL version as described in post 3 of my thread?
Believe me, you want to get this right! You can mess with a lot of stuff and get away with it. But not with a bootloader!
Check your BL version and post it here exactly as you see it on the tablet.
