Trouble with custom ROMS TF300T

Asus TF300T
CURRENTLY:
Stock ROM JB OTA
Have several recovery images I have been using with Fastboot via unlocked bootloader.
I have tried both TWRP 2.2 and CWM recoveries to flash various roms. I've tried Hydo, CM9 & CM10
NONE get past the first asus logo. I never get past the device is unlocked message with asus logo and the nvidia tegra logo lower right.
The only way to get past the bricked stage is to fastboot the stock blob file from the asus zip.
HELP!

holy crap me to PLEASE HELP US!!!!!!

Hay i have the same problem i am unlocked,stock JB,rooted but i cant get any custom roms to load past asus device unlocked screen my thoughts are that the bootloader is not truly unlocked. My device is tf300t with latest OTA U.S. JB.

I've read about something to do with partitions. I just haven't found enough info. The boot loader is unlocked though. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to enter fastboot.

It's because the bootloader partition from JB update is incompatible with all non Asus JB and ICS images. Unfortunately there is no way to downgrade because of no working nvflash, so you're stuck with Asus JB or Hydro JB for the time being.

Pitrus is correct. If you have done the OTA there are presently only 3 custom ROMs available to you: JB CleanROM 2.0, JB Blue ROM and JB Hydro 3.4. All others bar stock are incompatible with JB bootloader.

Thanks guys. I'm going to try one of those out. Any suggestions?

Absolutely was my problem. So any advice about running other Roms? Can we flash boot loader to enable non Asus roms?

Clean Rom 2.0 very nice!

[Q] Root tablet without computer?

I have a tf300 with jellybean firmware JRO03C.US_epad-10.4.2.9-20120809 and the bootloader is unlocked.
I can charge my tablet, but any computer i try, it cannot connect to the computer.
Is there any way I can root it? Thanks for the help!

You can install TRWP 2.2.2.0 with Terminal Emulator apk
If you can push the blob files on your internal SDcard, after you can just follow the process TWRP 2.2 - Asus Transformer TF300T(G) page
but for rooted your TF, you will need one computer...

If you get the recovery working. I would assume you could flash a new rom stock or custom thats rooted already

[TWRP&CWM/Install JB OTA from custom recovery] Jelly Bean OTA for Unlocked Devices

[TWRP&CWM/Install JB OTA from custom recovery] Jelly Bean OTA for Unlocked Devices
Hi guys,as you may know,if you unlocked your bootloader you won't be able to receive OTA's anymore so you have to wait for Asus to upload the firmware on their site.Or even better you can use your custom recovery to flash a modified OTA pack wich will update your device just fine.
Warning:
** I'm NOT responsible for any damage caused to your device by using these files so use them on your OWN risk.
** This update will also flash the Jelly Bean bootloader so if you are still on .26 bootloader and you didn't used the NvFlash tool yet,well,it's time to do it because after installing this update there's NO WAY to go back,yet.
** You Custom Recovery will be replaced by the Stock Recovery (You can install this CWM Recovery after installing JB)
** I only tested with TWRP but it should work with CWM recovery too
** Verify your MD5 checsum after download
Requirements
* Your device must be unlocked and rooted
* You need to be on STOCK 9.4.5.30 ROM with no modifications to system files (build.prop,etc) (no need to do the Factory Reset)
* Use OTA RootKeeper before installing this update if you want to keep ROOT
Installation
1) Download the file for your specific SKU
2) Move the downloaded file on your internal or external storage
3) Boot your device in Recovery
4) Install the update / That's it,wait for the install proccess to finish
NOTE: If you are getting errors and you are using CWM recovery try renaming the file (i.e TF700T WW_10.4.4.16-20120927 OTA.zip - - > TF700T_ WW_10.4.4.16-20120927.zip)
Download Links
WW_SKU --- > TF700T WW_10.4.4.16-20120927 OTA.zip ----- MD5 checksum: 9d4e1e91a08254256357eb2870d2df7d
US_SKU --- > TF700T US_10.4.4.16-20120927 OTA.zip ----- MD5 checksum: 4131cab5458153856185c43e05b67ebe

can you do this for the US version as well? im itching to get JB loaded up on my Infinity.

Gonna test tonight as well. Won't expect any issues, but I'll tell the results here.

Download link fixed.Yes i'm uploading the US version right now.

May I ask why we need to be on stock prior to flashing?

Itching for that US version too! Being Unlocked has never tasted so bitter until now!

i think because this is not a complete rom. Its an update package. So if you gonna flash an official update over a custum rom your asking for trouble

Because the update will fail to install if some system files are missing or beeing modified.Please don't try this on custom firmware,but if you do,just don't complain about it in case is failing or even worse.

Asus OTA updates aren't a complete replacement. Instead the update performs a patch to your existing files. A non-stock or non .30 version may cause a failure during the update process.
Truthfully if you're running an unlocked device you should wait for a ROM developer to make a new ROM and use that to update instead of trying to flash the Asus official update. It should only be 24 to 72 hours and a ROM won't do things like remove root or replace your custom recovery with the stock recovery.

Works 100% with CWM recovery!
Thanks a lot My friend!

I can also confirm, this method works! I`m on jelly bean now

Quoted for fiction
It's fine to flash if you are on stock .30. Replacing the recovery costs about 30 seconds, and replacing root on an unlocked device takes about 30 seconds as well. Then you can evaluate an Asus jb yourself before seeing a custom jb.

How can I get back to a stock ASUS .26 boot from AndroidRoot?

Hey guys,
So I recently did the procedure to enable NVflash on my TF700, and flashed the AndroidRoot bootloader in the process (over my stock .26). Unfortunately, I forgot to make a backup of the bootloader before doing that.
My question is, is there any way I can get back to a stock .26 bootloader now? A bootloader image file I can download somewhere? I want to do so to get back to stock .26 firmware and then upgrade to stock Jellybean.
Thanks

I'm really curious as to *why* you'd want to do this... If you just want to get to Jelly Bean with the stock bootloader, you can download the full JB firmware from Asus now (it's a FULL install, not just an upgrade like the OTA was) - it will replace the bootloader as well.
I just can't think of any valid reason to revert to the .26 bootloader just to get to get back to the stock bootloader in order to upgrade to JellyBean/stock bootloader.

So can I just run the Jellybean installer to return my tablet to stock (keeping bootloader unlocked of course)?
By the way I have TWRP recovery. So I need to change to stock recovery first to run that file, right?

Actually, just installing the stock JB image from Asus will replace your bootloader and your recovery, so no need to change to stock recovery first...

But I can't find a way to run the ASUS update, since I have TWRP recovery (seems like it requires a stock recovery)... If I start the update from within Android, it just takes me to TWRP. How do I run the file?

Never mind, I just tried installing the ASUS update file from within TWRP, to my great surprise it worked! I thought it was going to brick my tablet, honestly (I have an NVflash backup so no worries). Well, I'm happy, thanks for your help, jtrosky.

after install cleanRom 3.4.6 cant boot

i have a TF300t upgraded to stock 4.2.1 with bootloader unlocked, with twrp 2.4.4.0 rooted, trying to install the cleanRom 3.4.6, successfully installed but was not able to boot (stuck on boot screen), i read on another thread that it is due to the bootloader of the 4.2.1 is not going to work with the rom. is it that if i install the CROMi-Xenogenesis 4.3b4 ROM then it should boot fine?

Yes mate you need to use cromi-x on that bootloader

I did exact the same thing, installed cromi-x (without the patched kernel option), install successful, but it sill doesn't boot.
any idea?
