Installing CyanogenMod onto TF300T - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been trying to flash CyanogenMod using the instructions on their website for a good week or so in collaboration with a general search of the internet. So far all I've managed to do is soft brick my tablet multiple times.
Here are the problems I've seen so far
ClockworkMod Recovery doesn't work on this tablet anymore
TWRP should be able to install cyanogenMod but for whatever reason just wipes the whole of the system folder
I can't seem to find directions on how to manually install cyanogenMod anywhere on the internet (the stock asus rom can be flashed fairly simply using fastboot)
Sorry about not being able to post a link!
Has anyone been able to install CM10 on their TF300T and if so can they link me to the directions they followed?
Thanks!

Have a look in the Development forum

Worked like a charm in the way that it installed and I got the cyanogenMod boot screen to show up. Now I am thinking it is stuck on the boot screen and looping. Any ideas for a fix?

Wipe Data, Dalvik, and Cache before flashing CM. Usually bootloops for me if not.

That did the trick!! Thank you so much! Now running android 4.3.1 on my TF300T!!!

My device was working just fine in the A.M. as I flashed from Genesis (ICS) back to Lezo OS (GB) over to Joy OS (also GB). When I tried to restore a backup of my Genesis ROM I was more than delighted to see that upon trying to reboot I was unable to boot out of recovery. Now I've done everything in the linked post up to about step 10 where I kinda get stuck. I run the Flash but get nothing. At this point I'm just hoping for a Solid solution. Someone PLEASE assist

Try this way. Anytime I soft brick my G2x, this is how I rebuild it.
You'll need that ROM you got from previous thread, I do believe.
It will push a fresh recovery, than you can just go back to flashing the ROM.

[ROM]CM10 Release M1 (9/11/12) *LINK*

http://get.cm/?device=grouper&type=nightly
LATEST GAPPS: http://d-h.st/rDK
Tonight, when everyone else is sleeping, the folks over at CyanogenMod are hard at work, as always. The team just announced a brand new addition to the slew of CM releases: M-Series. From now on (provided the community approves), the team will begin rolling out builds that are "a bit more stable" at the beginning of every month. Prior to this initial release of CM10-M1, the group did a "soft freeze of the codebase" in an attempt to stabilize the builds, so these should be more reliable than your average
Here's the list of devices that builds are currently
Galaxy Nexus GSM (maguro)
Galaxy Nexus VZW (toro)
Galaxy Nexus Sprint (toroplus)
Galaxy S2 GT-I9100G (i9100g)
Galaxy S (galaxysmtd)
Galaxy S B (galaxysbmtd)
Captivate (captivatemtd)
Galaxy S3 Sprint (d2spr)
Galaxy S3 VZW (d2vzw)
Galaxy S3 AT&T (d2att)
Galaxy S3 TMO (d2tmo)
Galaxy S3 US Cellular (d2usc)
Nexus S 4G (crespo4g)
Galaxy Note AT&T (quincyatt)
Google Nexus 7 (grouper)
Sony Xperia Acro S (hikari)
Sony Xperia S (nozomi)
As always, nightlies will continue to be available, but for the slightly less adventurous among you, this effort should provide a healthy middle ground between bleeding edge, and waiting on stable RCs for your device. It will also help casual users keep a frame of reference for the progression of everyone's favorite ROM. If you'd like to get in on the action, you can download the M1 builds here.

That's interesting, Thanks!
That's excellent, excellent news.
I can't seem to find the CM10 section here on XDA for the N7.
Would like to know the pre-requisites and info and how to flash, which recovery to install, what to wipe, etc...

I'm not sure about their official instructions but my way:
Use CWM recovery.
Full wipe if coming m anything other than cm10. (I full wipe anyways)
Flash cm10 M1
Wipe dalvik cache/cache
Flash latest gapps (quick Google search will find you the latest job gapps
Reboot and enjoy.
Well, flashed and booted. Here we go.

wipe data, cache, dalvic cache, and system at least (data and cache may be labeled factory reset in the recovery wipe menu)
I only run TWRP but that's a personal preference
So this is like a RC with more experimental stuff in it?

What it sounds like is they freezed one of the nightlies and stopped adding new stuff and just worked on stability. They'll probably do this once a month or so.

It's a known issue, grouper has sometimes problems to reboot into recovery ; when you're on the bootloader, plugg it in to your computer, and then reboot to recovery, that should work....or reboot to recovery and plugg it in....
and if you really get stuck, then you can use adb and open a command, but you must have adb drivers on your computer for that (if you don't, follow instructions on mskip's Toolkit thread), or at last, use the toolkit to reflash your recovery, then it will work....

Well I suppose I got the drivers, but when I get to the fastboot, and plug it into computer, the fast boot freeze and it does not react on anything. I even tried to reflash CWM via mentioned tool box, but it will stuck at Waiting for device message... Yeah and I'm running Windows 8.

Last time I tried CM10 on my Nexus 7 it seemed like the tablet thought it was like a "phone" version of the rom. Is this still the case or is it optimized for the tablet now?

Install Apex Launcher or any launcher that supports tablet mode, then you MUST change the DPI to 160
(edit: im not sure if CM10 launcher has tablet mode, I believe it should have, I only use APEX)

[Q] Stuck with CWM 5.5.0.4, tried everything...

Hi !
I have a TF101 model "B80". Some time ago I flashed CWM 5.5.0.4, and now, I just can't flash any other recovery over it. I know it's a common issue, i tried everything I found on the www to fix it, with no success. Of course I have this "always reboot in recovery" bug too.
Is there someone to help me out there ? Thanks !

Use easy flash and push different recovery, my personal advice is, use twrp recovery.. very handy and extremely useful... look for easy flash/easy flasher thread under android development. Read carefully and follow steps get a different recovery...

How far have you got? Have you unlocked the bootloader through fastboot?
Once that's done it's fairly easy. Just fastboot flash a custom recovery. I recommend Team Rogues recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235170
then reboot the device, but go into recovery before the device boots or the recovery is overwritten. To get into recovery: power on, 2 seconds later press the down button, then press the up button once you see 'Android Recovery'
Then flash the zip I have attached to root the device. Choose the JB one if you're on jelly bean, anything else, so honeycomb or ICS use the other one.
From there it's the same as any other device. Backup apps etc, make a nandroid, wipe data/factory reset, install CM10

That's something to do with CM reads the device as XOOM but on stock a wingray is MZ604 so if I remember rightly that's what causes the status 7, to get around it, once rooted use a build prop editor to change your model to XOOM not MZ604. I think that's the way to get around it if my memory serves me well

Don't me hold to it, but I seem to remember others getting status 7 errors and it was just to do with how the CM zip reads your device. You can also turn off script verification in android recovery. I think that was also another solution

[Q] Reboot get stuck in boot loop

So I've been more of a stalker of the XDA community for a while, never really needed to ask a question because I usually find the answers on the boards pretty handily or by some fluke things work for me without the need to post anything. But now that time has come to an end.
I had Jellybam 4.1.2 on my device flashed with whatever kernel came with it, and when my battery died yesterday the phone was stuck in a boot loop. Keep in mind that prior to that 1) It had never done this on a reboot and 2) the correct kernel had been flashed via fastboot. My hboot is 1.14. The reason I'm not posting this question in the Jellybam post in android development is because 1) I'm a n00b to posting on here and 2) this is now happening with any other rom I install (most recent is MIUI which I flashed late last night, started up normally, then got caught in a boot loop on a reboot).
I follow the normal steps of going into TWRP, flashing cache/davlik, factory wipe, system wipe, then installing, doing the gapps if necessary, or following the instructions on any aroma installers, then rebooting into fastboot and flashing the kernel so i don't get boot loops on the initial start up. I'm also doing this on a mac, but the command lines in terminal are pretty straight forward and i'm just doing normal ADB / fastboot commands.
I'm perplexed now and I can't figure out what changed or what I did differently that's causing this. Any help would be most appreciated and I apologize if this is somehow a cross or repeat post, but I couldn't find much like it.
Do you have an Evita or Endeavour phone?

It sounds like you are doing everything correct. Also seems like you have a good grasp of what to do. My thought is even if your initial install went though. Something in the bootimg may be corrupt. Perhaps try redownloading your preferred rom? And try again.

My phone did this once too. Never figured out why but the way I stopped it was to nandroid data, then wipe everything, reinstall the Rom and restore only data. After this it never bootlooped again.

Ok, I'll give that a shot. I installed CleanRom 5.1 today, ran some reboots and that seemed to clear it up. It might be a Jellybean thing, but who knows. Thanks for all the suggestions and quick responses!
Oh yea there is some discussion about a Rev-a or rev-b that is on your box having issues with 4.2 jb not working. I think its rev-b that everyone is having issues with.
