First off, let me start out by saying that the Infinity is running on what is possibly the worst software ever designed. Props, Asus. You've made my life hell until the last second.
So, here's my problem. The tablet was working fine 24 hours ago. I turned it off last night, turned it on this morning, working great on CROMi-Xeno (which is awesome, it actually makes the tablet bearable.) and played on it for a while before turning off again. While playing it, I noticed it lag a little more than usual, so I decided to cold boot it. Booted bootloader, hit cold boot, and.... bootlooping. Awesome. No biggie, I'll just restore a backup. I waited for it to restore, and when it was finished, wiped cache and Dalvik, and.... bootlooping again. I tried wiping system and data. Still bootlooping. I downloaded Asus 's official firmware from their website, and flashed. Bootlooping. Someone help me fix this and get it back to stock firmware, so I can sell it and be done with it once and for all. I will never buy another Asus product again.

I'm wondering if my version of TWRP is too old or something. Can anyone explain in detail how to update to a newer version of TWRP or install CWM in order for flashing to fully work?

what version do you currently have, just download the .blob from twrp's site boot into fastboot and run "fastboot flash recovery *name of blob*.blob"

Yeah - I'm also wondering what bootloader you are running with it.
If you are not current on either flash the bootloader/TWRP package from CROMi-X OP, boot back into system, let it bootloop if it does, boot back into TWRP and reflash the rom.
That seems like it would be the only explanation, but now it won't even boot into recovery. I can get it into fastboot, but as soon as I select recovery image it shows the firmware upgrade symbol and then immediately shows the Android Error symbol, and sticks there until I hard power down. When I'm in fastboot, here's what I'm gonna do:
1. connect fastbooted Infinity to pc with all necessary drivers installed
2. download filename.blob from TWRP's website for the Infinity
3. on command console enter -fastboot flash recovery filename.blob- and it will push the recovery through fastboot hopefully
Is that correct? I'm under the impression that as long as I can get to the fastboot menu, ANYTHING is repairable.

The command is
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery filename.blob
Since you can boot into the bootloader, check the version# and make sure you flash a compatible recovery.
Most of the time, as long as you can get into the BL, it's fixable. But to make it unbrickable you need nvFlash. And that's just become possible for or tablet on JB. May be a project for once you got this problem fixed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455925
I suspect you need to format data to fix the issues (you'll lose everything on the internal sd card) but before you do follow bernd's recommendation and get TWRP on there (you wiped it out when you flashed ASUS stock) and then use the file explorer in TWRP to copy anything important to an external SD and make sure the cromi-x rom is on sd too. Then format data from the wipe menu and reinstall. You'll be back to normal in no time. :good:
BTW You may have got some corruption from turning f-sync off.

I tried wiping internal before recovery was lost and it didn't work. I suspected that some problems arose from turning fsync off too. I'm pushing TWRP 2.6 to the Infinity now, will try flashing your excellent rom again and see if it takes without bootlooping.

You need to specifically format data in twrp not just wipe data. Only formatting will restore the device now once data corruption has occurred.
I originally had Katkiss 4.3 v19 and it was working fine. I then wanted to update to the recent 4.3.1 v27 but when I tried to flash the new ROM, it says that it can't open the zip file and failed. I backed up beforehand, so I wiped the cache and dalvik. I then tried to flash the ROM again, but it still says failed. I went to restore the backup to go back and for some reason, it is also failing.
I have TWRP 2.6.0.0 and I am stuck in recovery where I can't flash anything. Not even when I wanted to flash to stock.
I have the Asus EEE transformer tf101 tablet.
How do I fix this?
Please Help.
Are you trying to flash from Micro SDCard ?
Maybe the card has corrupted - try formatting the card in a PC, then copy #27 back to it, and try flashing again
Or try another MicroSD Card

I did this and it says successful but I don't think it's completely flashed because the last line says E:Unable to mount '/staging'. Plus when I reboot, it just goes back to recovery. I flashed SuperSU but it didn't change anything.
EDIT: Ok. So I tried flashing any rom and it says 'successful', yet it seemed like it flashed the rom too quickly. Afterwards, I'd reboot but it just goes from the Eee transformer logo to twrp recovery. This happens to all of the 'successful' flashes. When I tried to flash the stock rom, it would just say failed.
I really don't know what to do at this point. I tried formatting the SD card, changing the SD card, reinstalling twrp using the EasyRecovery app and I wiped my internal and external data (which I think is the problem and IDK how to recover them). I even tried flashing a new recovery (CWM) and, like the other 'successful' flashes, still goes back to TWRP.

The /staging/ error is normal, nothing to worry about.
Question, if you shut down the tablet from recovery. Then turn it on with a 3 second power button press, does it go directly to recovery?
If so, this is causing your tablet NOT to finish the flash when it reboots. It needs to reboot normally and you should see the Eee Pad logo with a progress indicator.
If you do have a recovery boot loop, try this. Boot to recovery and go to the Advanced section and open a terminal window.
Code:
echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0
Then reboot normally (not to recovery). Then after it tries to boot not into recovery, boot back to recovery and try restoring your 019 backup.

Yes. When I reboot/shutdown from recovery, it shows the eee pad and nvidia logo on the bottom and then goes to recovery. I did what you said with the terminal window. I also typed in the code. and it says:
5+0 records in
5+0 records out
5 bytes (5B) copied,
0.006015 seconds, 831B/s
Afterwards, I rebooted normally and it still goes back to recovery. It doesn't even go to the 'ASUS' logo where there is a wheel on the bottom.

May need to do it from an ADB shell, but adb shell is blocked on TWRP 2.6.X.X for security reasons.
I would suggest flashing TWRP again using EasyFlasher. See my guide here: www.transformerforums.com/forum/asu...nt/31927-frederucos-guide-root-rom-tf101.html . Grab one of the repacked versions with TWRP 2.6 and you should be back in business in no time.
I did everything and it all seemed fine. Now I'm in a bootloop. I used the TWRP 2.6.3.0 EasyFlasher
Okay. I just tried other recoveries (CWM and Rogue) and they seemed to go well. I tried flashing, yet it still does the same thing as before where it goes to the logo and then to the recovery.

At this point, I would try restoring stock using EasyFlasher. Just download the asus firmware file and leave it as is (do not unzip) and put it in the asusupdate folder in EasyFlasher.
Once you flash back to stock and can boot, then flash TWRP with EasyFlasher and you should be good to go.

That did it. I flashed back to stock and it can boot again. I'll flash TWRP again.:fingers-crossed: Thank You
Any time! I have a few EasyFlashers with newer versions of TWRP in the EasyFlasher thread. Start and the end and read backwards to find them.
I have a rooted (Superuser 3.1.3) TF101 with TWRP 2.7.0.1. I HAD Katkiss 4.3 installed. One day the tablet locked up and then starting bootlooping. I went into recovery, wiped everything, did factory reset, format /system.
Then I tried to reflash Katkiss 4.3_020, it failed with "set_perm: some changes failed". I then tried katkiss 4.4.2_023c - it failed with a similar error message. Tried flashing stock (US_epad-user-9.2.1.27) - same thing. The first part of the error message for all three ROMs is the same set_perm failure. The next couple of lines gives different error messages depending on the ROM. Generally something like: "E: error executing updater binary in zip".
Now I have a tablet with no ROM on it (when I tried to boot it hangs at the ASUS screen). I can get into the TWRP recovery menu just fine - I can flash other things like superuser or gapps without error. But any ROM I try to flash gives the set_perm error.
Any thoughts?

Try using Easyflasher to flash a different version of TWRP in case recovery is the problem, TWRP builds newer than 2.3.2.3 are not official builds, they have been continued by another member here once the project was abandoned by the original team
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
Use Easyflasher to flash TWRP again - then try flashing KatKiss #23
Thanks but...
Easyflasher doesn't seem to work for me anymore (odd because it is what I first used to root/update my TF101). It runs and declares success - but nothing gets pushed to my device. Tried both SBK1 and SBK2. Using universal naked 0.72 and 0.73 on win7 64 bit.
I tried to find an older version of TWRP like you suggested - but I couldn't. Seems they want you to use "goo manager" from the play store... which doesn't work for me since I can't boot... And the goo website doesn't list an older TWRP for my device.
In any case, the latest TWRP seems to work in every other respect. I read somewhere that superuser can set an "immutable" bit that can survive a wipe? If true - could that be my permissions problem?

I'm new as one can get at this and likely deserve any hammering I may get....TF1010 B70, CWM 5.8.3.4, I know I missed a step somewhere. I can't recover to 4.3 as the back up was bad, not recognized by any computer, loops to recovery and holding power and vol dn the booting to the linuz get me a long (14 hrs) flashing KatKiss boot screen.
I've tried Easyflasher aswell with no results, Please, any hope for this thing, Thanks in advance!
Sounds like your problem is a bit different - can you get into your bootloader? After voldown+power you should see some small text in the upper left of the screen then immediately hit vol up.... From there you should be able to reflash any ROM...

Thanks for your reply, when I do use that button combo, it goes into the ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.4, the native one seems to be gone.
Is that a bad thing? Once in ClockworkMod - you can install a new ROM (such as KatKiss or even go back to stock). Just find the right zip file on the web, copy to your sdcard and then in clockwork select that zip file to install.... Or am I missing something?

Ok - back to my problem - I installed a new recovery and get the same error. The two recoveries I have tried are TWRP (2.3 and 2.7.0.1) and cwm-6.0.2.1-notouch-hybrid. Both seem to work fine (and I had no trouble previously with my device running TWRP and Katkiss 4.3).
After a crash I needed to reinstall a ROM. I've copied four ROMs to my sdcard (Katkiss 4.3, Katkiss 4.4.2, Omni 4.4.2, and stock asus). I've tried all 4 ROMs with both recoveries. I get the same error when I try to install the zips. Usually it is "set_perm: some changes failed". Though stock asus zip fails with a different message "Assert failed: package_extract_file(“blob”, “/tmp/blob”)".
Any ideas on what is keeping a recovery from installing the zip? Note they can install other zips fine (i.e. other recoveries, superuser, gapps, etc.). But not the ROM.

Hello,
My TF700 was on a CleanRom (2.3 i think), for a while, i decided to update.
- I installed the latest CWM (via fastboot) and flashed a Cyanogen 10.2 "stable", but my tablet freezed very quickly after successful boot, i tried some reboots and get same problem.
- I tried to install a stock ODEX root ROM, the tablet freezed at asus logo
- I flashed TWRP instead of CWM, it doesn't helped
- I tried wipe data and cache with TWRP, then my data was not accessible anymore and TWRP was unable to re-create it
- I searched on forums and found on this one that flash a boot.blob file can solve the problem
- It doesn't and now CWM and TWRP refuse to work ....
So i post here before getting my tablet completely brick.
At this point, i get access to fastboot / abd, CWM load but don't work (reboot when trying to do something), TWRP don't load.
Any suggestion to get back to a Stock ODEX rooted rom ?
Excuse my english ...

Sounds like you are on an old bootloader. Flash the stock rom from asus by unzipping the zip you download from their website and placing in the root folder of your micro sd and then go into rck from the bootloader menu (power + volume down whilst booting)
Or you could just flash it from recovery....

I buy a tf700 with cm 11 a few days ago i am really interessted on how this steps works. I really want to make it unbrickeable, But i dont really understand how it works. I can not enter in fastboot. at least i got cwm interface when rebooting with adb into recovery.
Can u explain how you did it?
It invovles flashing a modified bootloader and the flatline recovery and then using Wheelie to generate your nvflash blobs.

Stuck in boot loop, fastboot and recovery accessible
Hello,
I'm having a similar issue and I need help! Initially my tablet was rooted with Cromi-X 5.4. Then I decided to try Crombi-KK.
Here is what happened:
- Updated TWRP recovery
- Did a full wipe as recommended
- Flashing got stuck at the Crombi-KK loading sign
- Tried to reflash but TWRP wasn't detecting data partition anymore
- Instead installed the other recommended recovery CWMR.
- Flashed Crombi-KK, it worked. Played around with it for a few days, it was wonderful, fast and responsive.
- Battery died out and when I turned it back on I got a UIDs system inconsistent error.
- I found online many recommendations to reflash so I tried to do that
- Since then I'm stuck in a boot loop. I see the initial "bios" Asus logo then it restarts over and over.
- I am able to access bootloader and recovery
I've tried reflashing the asus stock blob. I've tried wiping the data through CWMR but it starts working and then it restarts. I don't know what to do anymore, so if anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks
Which recovery and bootloader version do you have now?
A (for KK) outdated bootloader seems the most likely culprit.
You can try save the recovery log when you flash or grab a logcat of the bootloop, but probably it'll only tell you that the recovery cannot mount /data.
Determine that you are on the correct bootloader, if not update it. If you're lucky the tablet will start right up. If it doesn't, formatting /data is the only way I know to get it back. Not just wiping - formatting it. You will loose everything on internal SD, so I hope you have a nandroid you can restore from later.
If you use TWRP 2.7+ be aware that formatting can take more than an hour. Let it finish!
For good measure, download CROMBi-KK again, check the md5 and then flash that file.
I'm on 10.6.1.14.10 bootloader which I think is the latest one
I have 6.0.4.7 CWMR
I'm trying to format data completely but when i do it in CWMR it starts and then the tablet reboots on it's own after a couple of minutes.
How can I retrieve the logs, I never had to do it before.
Thanks for your help
Mhh, getting a little more complicated.
Your BL is ok...
What do you see in CWM when you go into Mounts and Storage? What is mounted?
The recovery logs are under Advanced > show logs.
I'm at work now but from what I remember the only thing mounted was the cache. I'll double check tonight. Do you think there's any hope or I have a brand new paper weight?

Can you fastboot flash twrp?
It's much much better than CWM, has its own terminal and will be easier to offer the correct format command.

So I flashed TWRP and when I go in mount/storage everything is selected except for system. Should I do a format data from the wipe menu before flashing crombi-kk again?

To be in the safe side, yes, that is what I would do. TWTRP 2.7.+ takes a long time to format and it may seem the process got stuck. Give it at least 90 minutes to finish.
Then reflash CROMBi
I'm back up and running !!!
This time installing TWRP, everything was mounted (maybe my previous flash before CWMR wasn't good), did a format data, waited until it was done, flashed latest Crombi-KK and going through setup now. Hopefully won't have the same UID issue on next shutdown. I didn't enable fsync or journaling so hopefully it won't happen again.
Thanks both of you for your help!
Good deal! Happy for you!

Does TWRP 2.8 (latest version 2.8.7.0) okay to start out with? Meaning, if we are at the latest version of stock (ASUS build JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.27-5-20130902; Android 4.2.1) and we are going to flash a custom rom for the first time, the latest versions of TWRP won't brick our devices?
It could be that I'm just confused because there were lots of older versions that reference individual Android builds (JB vs ICS). And people would say "if you have X version of Android, use Y version of TWRP or you're gonna brick it".
Can't enter twrp but everything ok
Today i flashed 2.8.7.0 img with twrp 2.8.5.0 and than reboot tablet. Than i tried enter the recovery but tablet booting normally.

I got sent here, so I'll try again.
I'm a little confused now, because I can't understand what is happening to my tablet. Let me explain step by step what I did, maybe one of you can figure out what is wrong.
I was running CM11 M12 with TWRP 2.8.1.0 and wanted to try the new Android 5.1. I decided to go with the latest Omnirom and found out I needed at least TWRP 2.8.5.0.
So first step would be to update TWRP. When I got at the TWRP website I read that there was something new in TWRP 2.8.4.0, so I decided to first go from .1 to .4 and then go to the latest .7. An upgrade to .4 went fine through Fastboot. Then I thought I could try the new in GUI recovery flasher, but I didn't understand it properly so I chose to go safe and flash the .7 through Fastboot.
I guess that's where I went wrong. The tablet went to recovery just fine, but in TWRP it couldn't access anything anymore. "Unable to mount" on everything. Internal storage was 0. It didn't boot to the ROM anymore.
So after some tinkering, not really sure what I did anymore, I got my access to the FS again. I had the CM11 M12 ROM still in the MicroSD, so I ran the "install ROM procedure" for that one and it booted again.
Only now I don't seem to have a recovery anymore. I can get into Fastboot, but when I send the "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging twrp.blob" the tablet hangs itself. Holding power revives it and it boots to CM11M12 again. I tried to flash different TWRP versions (.4 .5 .6 and .7) but no sigar.
Does anyone have an idea how to get my recovery back?
Edit0: I tried to install the TWRP manager from the store and get a recovery from there, but the app doesn't work. It hangs when I try to tap on the "Recovery version to install" option.
Edit1: I followed the link in the post above and solved it. Next thing I did was flashing the .6 TWRP recovery and it stuck. Time to wrestle with some new roms! Thanks!
Edit2: Back to square one. The TWRP can't see anything in my internal storage. Is my storage memory going dry? "Unable to mount ###" shows up for every partition.
Edit3: And now it can see in my internal memory again... Hardware failure?
2.8.7.0 on tf300t reboot/shutdown does not work
hi, thanks for all your effort!
i just used fastboot to load 2.8.7.0 on a stock tf300t. it seems to work fine with one exception, when I choose reboot system or shutdown, but result in me booting back to twrp immediately. the only way i can shutdow/reboot is to hold the power key for 10s, then press it again to boot
everything else seems to work ok (flashing etc)....

Hello
Can someone help me please?
For the moment i have TWRP 2.8.0.1 and i want to update it to 2.8.7.0.
First of all, i tried to update it with twrp manager.
So i open twrp manger
The install recovery screen opens and i choose for "Install Recovery".
Then i'm redirected to jmz software and then i got next screen:
Forbidden - you don't have permission to access /tf300t/ on this server.
What i'm i doing wrong?
