Hi everybody,
First of all, I must tell you that I've been using Android devices for over 3 years. So, I'm not a total newbie with Android. I must say that I've always been using Stock Android so far. Which makes me a real amateur in customisation.
That been said, here's my actual problem. I have rooted my tablet and unlocked the bootloader through the Transformer Toolkit available on Asus website following a step by step walkthrough. Everything went well. I have SuperSU installed and I'm rooted. Also, I have that little message saying my bootloader is unlocked when I turn my tablet on. No issue yet.
Since I'm still an amateur in installing custom ROM, I downloaded ROM Installer which is supposed to do all the dirty work for you. I chose CM 10.1.3 Stable since I wasn't interested in Nigthly yet. It downloaded normally. Once that was done, I used the ''Install ROM from SD Card'' option. It then rebooted in TWRP Recovery Mode, did a Backup and I wiped cache & Dalvik. It did what it had to.
Now, the tablet rebooted and the CynagenMod logo appeared with a blue circle spinning. Visually, it seemed to do something like an installation or something so I let it run all night. This morning, it hadn't change. The logo is still there with the spinning blue line. I can't do anything, no icon, nothing. I rebooted my tablet by holding the power button a few seconds. It restarted, showed the Asus logo and went back to the CyanogenMod logo again. Same thing as yesterday. I'm stuck there. Whatever I do, I can't get pass that logo.
My question is... Is there something I did wrong ? Otherwise, is there a way to get back to my stock 4.2.1 Android version ? I'm kinda afraid to do anything since I don't want to brick my tab.
I'm awaiting your tips and comments. Oh and please, don't be too harsh, English isn't my primary language and I tried to be as clear as possible. If you need more information, don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks in advance
I do not run CM roms, but it sounds as if you are on the wrong bootloader. Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957660
Try to get into TWRP by holding Volume Down and Power buttons. Hopefully you made a nandroid before you flashed??? Restore it and you are back on your stock rom.
Or copy the Asus firmware on a microSD (unzip the downloaded file once on your computer, put the resulting zip on the microSD) and flash that in TWRP.
But you will loose your custom recovery and probably all data if you do this, and will have to start from scratch.
Thanks, I was able to restore my recovery and went back to my Stock ROM.
I tried flashing CROMI and it worked at first try. Now this pad is a bomb!

Not sure if I've soft-bricked or full bricked my Asus TF300T, here's what happened, hope someone can help. I unlocked the bootloader with the Asus unlock tool back in July, didn't root my tablet though until this past month. Had no issues and was running the BAKED BlackBean 6 custom ROM. Then this past week, when Asus released a new update to the stock ROM, I decided to try and update that (since I had read on the forums here that the update really made the tab run smoother and it gave a major increase to the battery life). I flashed the stock ROM (10.4.2.18) through TWRP touch recovery but wasn't sure if I needed to also flash the 10.4.2.18 kernel also. When I went to reboot, TWRP recovery was saying that there was no OS so I decided to recover back to the backup of BlackBean 6 that I had made before I started this. During the reboot, it seemed to take forever for the OS to boot so I rebooted using volume down and power. Saw the Wipe Data option there and figured I should try that and then restore back to stock before trying everything again. Well, now I'm stuck at the very start of a reboot, with just the Asus logo showing in the middle of the screen and the line "This tablet is unlocked" at the top left-hand corner of the screen. Cannot boot into recovery, Fastboot or anything. Can someone please help me?

hope helps c:
The thing is, I cannot seem to access the option to go to recovery or USB. When I turn on using volume down and power, it doesn't give me anything other than the Asus logo in the middle of the screen and "the device is unlocked" at the top left corner.

Ok, so I gave my wife my old TF101 when I got the 701. I reflashed it with a fresh install of timduru's KatKiss ROM. It's been running reasonably well aside from random reboots. all of a sudden, yesterday it stopped booting up at all. It shows the normal Asus flash screen, but then when it shows the OS specific one (in this case, the weird little picture of timduru's meerkat thing...) it's just flashing random little bits of tha tpitcure all over different parts of the screen an some sort of random flickering and never going past it. I can still boot to the recovery normally, so I wiped it and tried reflashing the same ROM and ended up with the same thing. Tonight I plan to try to download the newer version of the ROM and try, but I fear I may be SOL. Any other suggestions?
Have you tried wiping everything 100% in TWRP Recovery?
Including Data etc ?

Yes, I did that. Still no good. I'm pretty much screwed, aren't I?
If your TF serial number starts B6O or lower, some B7Os too, then it is SBK1, which means you can use NVFLASHable ROMs - they delete and remake every partition on the TF and reinstall stock ROM - you could try that in case the sdcard is corrupt
stuck at TWRP screen, failed to flash bootloader
Hello everyone,
Not to thread jack but I have a similar problem and instead of opening a new thread I decided to revive this one.
I have a similar problem that my TF101 has been working flawlessly for many years. It is rooted and was running 4.3 ROM. As of yesterday, it just won't boot at all. It has been stuck at the NVidia screen and just sits there. I tried to enter recovery mode by using volume(-) + power and the unit presents the TWRP logo and just loops as well by showing the TWRP screen (3 seconds) then going blank for a second then showing TWRP screen again in a cycle. I downloaded and tried Easyflasher and Brks toolkit and nothing can complete the flash. I can enter MTP mode which the computer can see the device but the manufacturer name and model are not-recognized. I can also enter APX mode but while trying to flash anything I get an error message (error, cannot flash bootloader) and the computer dings (device disconnects).
I have been trying for a day now and have run out of ideas.
Has the unit finally bit the dust? Does any one out there have any more ideas or suggestions on what to try next?
TIA for any help provided.
Dear guys and girls,
I have a problem. Since 2 days my tf300t is for some reason not starting up anymore. The start screen does not go away. Before it worked like a charm. I have tried almost everything, I can think of. As far as I know the latest firmware is installed. The problem is also that the tablet isn't in developer mode. So my options are limited afaik to fastboot. I have installed the naked drivers version 0.73. But windows is saying that the device is not started. Only fastboot is started as device. I have tried to reinstall the firmware by usb, but to no avail. It sends but doesn't write... I have drained the battery to zero level. Can anyone help me with this? What am I missing?

I'm also having this same issue. Tablet was working fine and then froze up. After rebooting we are now stuck on the Asus screen with the circular logo going. Waited over an hour with no change. Tried to boot into recovery and recovery crashes and gives me Error! This is a stock tablet that hasn't been unlocked or anything.
Update: Did a Data Wipe and the device rebooted and came up. Doing all the updates again. Hopefully it wont mess up again.
So you have an unlocked bootloader ?
(backstory) Hi, ive had an Asus TF300T, for about 3 years now, unlocked, rooted it pretty early on... cycled between cyanogenmod and omnirom quite a bit, without really any major issues. Until today, i was running Cyanogenmods latest nightly build (CM11 Nov 5 2014), it worked just as any other nightly does a few bugs here and there, but nothing major and i hadn't done any major flashing or modding to the device. On my home from university, I turned my tablet off. And when i got home i plugged in the charger, and just as always the tablet turned on, showed the stock Asus screen, then changed to the Android boot animation... the animation then suddenly froze, and the device went into a boot loop... continuously... I dont know whats weong with it... tried to do a factory reset, i tried reinstalling the ROM, tried installing omnirom, but that got stuck on the OmniRom animation...
Im running Asus build 10.6.1.27.5
I had TWRP v2.7.0.1 installed but have now no longer works
id really hope there is a solution for this!
Thanks!
Edit: I dont know why, but when i try using fastboot or adb, the device isnt recognized. It doesnt show up on device manager either. I dont know if its the cable cause i bought it new, it says its can sync data, or a faulty charge/sync port....

^THIS!
I was just to open a similar thread, then i saw your post. I join your request for help!
A month ago i have done a favor to a friend by unlocking his tf300t and installing CM11 on it. A few days ago he comes to me with this problem. I've tried anything but still no success:
- restore a backup done before flashing CM11 --> restore ends correctly but the problem remains
- flash a rom (CM11 and OmniRom) --> flash ends correctly but the problem remains
- flash the stock firmware found on asus website (WW_epad-user-10.6.1.27.5.zip, the SKU is correct for my version) --> the flash process stuck (i had to force restart the tablet after almost 2 hours of "flashing")
Since the boot animation changes according to the rom, i suppose the flashing process works. But the problem remains: after a few seconds the animation freeze and the device restarts, in loop.
Informations on the system:
- build 10.6.1.27.5
- TWRP v2.7.0.1 (working!)
- adb works (i managed to set /data as rw and push the .zip file to flash)
- fastboot should work
Please help! I feel a bit responsible for bricking my friend's device
SOLVED!
Finally!
I had already tried this method, before requesting for help, but the first time didn't worked... I don't know why this evening the tablet decided to collaborate:

Hi
I'm having trouble with my tablet. From time to time it stopped on the recovery screen and I can not get back to using it
I tried to use the original rom flashed in odin successfully
I tried to flash ROM customized by CWM successfully
The only problem is that as soon as I finish putting the rom, I turn on the tablet, the android doll appears as if it would finish the installation and hang up. I turn the tablet back on and go straight to the recovery screen, I wipe, reboot and return to the recovery screen. I do not know what else to do. If it helps, before giving an error called charging_10 jpg and logo_espresso10.jpg, today it does not give more. If anyone can help me. Thanks in advance.

I don't know what you got going on, but cwm is outdated. New ROMs require TWRP.
