[Q] TF300 not booting since build.prop tweak - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Tablet : TF300 wifi only
Unlocked : No
Rooted : Yes
Version : US_epad-10.6.1.27.1-20130711
Problem :
Updated to latest JB version OTA. The wifi kept disconnecting after a few minutes automatically. To fix this I tried to use the build.prop from this thread here. I used the version which said 10.4.2.9 tweaked when in fact I remembered my version was 10.6.x.x. I did make a backup of the build.prop file.
NOW THE TABLET WON'T BOOT!! IT IS STUCK ON ASUS LOGO AND I HAVE NO RECOVERY AS MY TAB IS STILL LOCKED.:crying:
What can I do with the build.prop backup file???!!
Please suggest a solution. I bought the tab in USA and live in India where they don't sell it so I'm not sure if the customer care will be able to help me out even though it's still under warranty.
Thanks in advance!!

Seems like others are having issues too. I recommend flashing a custom recovery then flashing a ROM I recommend cromi
Or you can extract the build.prop from the official blob file.

Could you please let me know how to do that? Or direct me to the right post? Cuz I can't boot up my device and while I can open the boot menu screen using volume+power keys I don't see the usb option(maybe because of the locked bootloader??). This post here isn't giving this option (to do anything with the boot menu screen) for locked bootloader. Please advise.
Thanks in advance!!

I came here from your post at my guide. Please follow these instructions to fully recover your tablet:

========= Recover /Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore with stock recovery =========
1) Download the latest firmware from Asus website
2) Extract the .zip file somewere on your desktop (the result will be another .zip file,use it for step 3)
3) Rename the extracted archive to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.ZIP" (without the " ") and upload it to a MicroSD card
4) Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use this button combination to Power ON and go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume Down and POWER togheter for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume UP before the 5 seconds expire.
At this point the device will go in recovery and should start updating your firmware .
Note: Keep in mind that Windows doesn't show the known file extensions so most users don't have to put the .ZIP extension in the filename.

Are you unlocked? If so, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803343
It says .26 but it should work for JB
Edit: if unlocked you need to flash the new JB compatible TWRP or CWM too!

Ok so this worked to bring me back to stock, but when I went to update it was still telling me "no update available". So I booted to recovery to make sure i didn't have twrp anymore and it went to stock recovery. Unfortunately the little android guy had a red "!" and it said it couldn't find "/sdcard" and that the update failed.
I just want jellybean :/
Borrow a microSD card from your phone temporarily if you need to.....
I have a very old 2 GB microSD that I keep lying around for situations like this....might not be a bad idea to pick one up at a local store.

Because you have unlocked bootloader, that's why you can't use OTA to update, you need re root and with twrp/cwm, you could install the OTA patch version of JB (incremental update). You could use the stock recovery to update to full version JB, but then you will lose root. If you don't know how I can provide some instructions for you.

Download the latest version from Asus site.
Unzip the download file and you see another zipfile named US_epad-user-10.4.4.20.zip, copy this file to the root of your sd card (don't put it in any folder). Reboot your device, once device boot up, open up the notification and you should see the update, tab on this and it will update.
does not give me the option to install the 4.20.zip something still must be wrong
I encountered this error once. I was able to troubleshoot it, but I cannot remember very clearly what I did. It's probably because either 1) you have not unzipped the file (you need the zip file that's in the zip file you downloaded), 2) because there should be no spaces in the file name (and yet some have reported success when they renamed the file to contain a space where normally the underscore would be located; and 3) it should be located on the root of the microSD card-- no other location seems to work dependably.
If all three are OK, get back in here and well take the matter from there.

TWRP is custom recovery instead of stock default recovery come with your tf700. It uses to flash rom/kernel etc.. You need to unlock your device to use twrp. You are no where near this step yet. Do you plan to unlock your device?
OK i got it without having to root it or anything have to re name the file to a certain name... but what asus has posted on there site with an 11-7 date is actually from October 26 ......WTF Asus

Hello!
We have a small community in Hungary with this tablet, and this method has some serious problem that came up for a few people including me.
After the first boot with a rooted tabled, gapps going to crash many times. The only solution was to reinstall gapps from CWM (from the cyanogenmod source). After the second boot AOSP keyboard started to crash. Others had problems after a week of use. They had infinite boot loop and the only solution was to flash the original fw.
Do anybody else had problems like this?
after a few attempts, it worked like a charm... thanks for a nice and clear tutorial...
if only there were some custom kernels for this device...
btw in developer tools - how can you enable "Full screen anti-aliasing"? it's grayed out and unavailable...
one more thing
on the official Prestigio web site and in the device manual it says that this tablet can't be charged through usb port - not exactly true...
i used my android phone charger and plugged the usb cable to the device and charging worked (it doesn't work only if plugged in the computer usb port)...
but i don't know what happened - usb charging didn't work today (maybe it has something to do with rooting of the device - it worked yesterday when it was unrooted) - if i figure out what happened - i'll post it here...
Hello,

You have to downgrade first. After the reboot with the 3G older firmware your tablet will be a non responding brick, but don't worry it has to be this way. Push the power button and the tablet going to power off.
Anyway as I wrote, after rooting most pepole got many problems (chrashing apps, bootloop ect.) and the community is too small to solve problems like this. Easy rooting method is still needed.
You don't have to worry, you can flash the factory firmware to your tablet even if it's a halfbrick, you can do rooting safely.
I tried it a while ago. I have ROOT now! Great. This way is right. THX
-----EDIT-----
Some trouble with automaticaly close some apps has solution in wipe/factory reset, wipe Dalvik and Cache and format SDCARD. I have not any error messages now.
Hello guys,

thought this was the only one for the 10.1 " multipad .
so is there any posibility to have anything newer than 4.1.1 for this tablet? (even with small drawbacks)

Have you checked if your processor is clocked at 1.6 ghz? Mine sits in 1.5GHz. It's not normal!

[Q] How to reflash android with locked bootloader

I have a me301t, basically the same as a tf300t right? (there is no me301t forum right now). I am on 4.2.1 stock (root), but the Bluetooth isn't working, so I am wanting to reflash the stock firmware. I want to keep a locked bootloader, so I can still have warranty if I please. I've looked up a couple of videos of how to, but I am wondering if root will mess up the flashing process. I've also been wondering if I can keep root after flash with Voodoo root keeper. Any advice?

Dear all users of TF300T.
If you are using Stock ROM (Rooted/Non Rooted) and are bricked or stuck on ASUS boot screen. Then this guide is for you.
As i was using stock ROM (ROOTED) with Locked boot loader without custom recovery and my tf300t was Sofbricked due to wrong configurations at Display Pixel scaling and also reformat did not work for me.!
So i thought to create this guide which may help people out here It worked for me Try your LUCK.
Sorry if i am re posting i did not got any guides out here...
If this helped you please give me a Thumbs up.!
Steps:-
1. Download the latest ROM from ASUS website Which matches your SKU.(Important).
It would look somehing like this (TF300T-TW_epad-10_6_1_15_3-UpdateLauncher . zip)
2. Extract it and rename that file to ( EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip )
3. Now copy this new renamed file to SDCARD (Root of sd card). Put the SDcard into tablet.
4. Now Press and hold Volume Down + Power for a few seconds. Then you will see the ASUS recovery options.
5. 3 icons will appear: RCK, Android, and Wipe Data. The RCK should be flashing green. Press the UP Volume Key Once.
Now wait for a few minutes. It will flash the ROM.
And wola! Your TF300T will again work fine!!

You can't without unlocking. He means a compatible Asus ROM.
The ROM has to be signed by Asus, so that method I quoted will only work for Stock ROMS

ok so i'm having a bit of trouble following this guide...
1) I installed TWRP (with the help of this page) http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/105 I had to use the Download - Recovery Image / Fastboot Method because the app method wouldn't download the blob file
2) Now, when I power + volume down boot I can see my bootloader isn't the correct version. how can I update the bootloader? I have the files from the original link i posted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481892) so there is the correct bootloader i just don't know how to install it.
is there a more detailed guide with actual step by steps?
Congrats on getting TWRP installed! The rest is easy.
In TWRP select 'Install' and navigate to wherever you have the zip file with the bootloader/TWRP package, select it (if it has xxx signed.zip in the file name you need to check the "verify zip signature" option. sbdags usually signs his zips - don't know if he did with this one).
Swipe the button to flash the file.
When it finished, boot back to system. Do not flash a rom at this point! That would cancel the bootloader flash. Boot back into system first, then back into TWRP and then flash the rom.
BTW - flashing the modified Asus stock rom is perfectly fine, but I wonder why you don't flash CROMi-X 5.2.2?
That rom is from the same developer, based on this stock rom and miles improved since sbdags debloated the stock version.
sbdags stock rom is not really supported whereas he puts out a better version of CROMi-X about every 10 days! It's exhausting to keep up! LOL

You can still flash the BL/TWRP package you downloaded already. It's the same as the one for CROMi-X.

Yes, you can... It is a good guide if you can follow it.. You must make sure that you have the latest bootloader and compatible TWRP.. Those are very important so you are not brick your device... Good luck and ask all the questions that you have before trying to install the TWRP and bootloader...:fingers-crossed:

Thanks, Honestly whatever custom rom I have now can randomly reboot and i think is giving me touch screen issues so was just going to hit up a stock install and see if that fixes any problems.
gonna try out the rom you suggested and i can always go back if necessary.
one thing, when i installed theTWRP the blue bar filled up completely and i left it for about 10 minutes and it was still there. so i powered down and everything booted back up correctly (and i can get into the recovery mode).
does everything sound ok to proceed?

You have to kick it out when it is completed by using the fastboot command or just using your power button.. So you are good to go...
You have to try out all the rom and kernels that are available then choose the best one that fit your need...Good luck...
