[Q] Tried to install CM - stuck on Asus Boot Logo

Hi there xda-community!
I'm a little bit shocked - It seems I managed to break my Asus TF300t while trying to install Cyanogenmod (latest version).
I followed the guide in the wiki "Asus_Transformer_Pad_TF300T:_Full_Update_Guide"
And I'm already at the last step where you should reboot your tablet but I'm stuck on the Asus-Booting Screen. I can't even turn the tablet off. (Automatically reboots)
It says in the top left corner "The Device is UnLocked." followed by a large ASUS-Logo in the middle and a small NVIDIA TEGRA logo in the lower right corner.
I'm still able to go into the recovery and already tried to install the ROM again. But I'm still stuck at the loading screen.
I'm not an expert on this topic but still thought I would be able to install CM - but right now I have no idea what to do next. I don't even know how to turn my pad off.
I would greatly appreciate any help!

More info needed. What version of recovery are you using? The last time you successfully booted, were you on ICS or jb? What version of cm are you trying to flash?

My guess, as many went before him: Official JB update, adepted bootloader and then... A wipe.
The end! All you can do now is ship it to ASUS to have it fixed. I had mine back yesterday, they fixed it under warranty within one week. But this is Europe, I've read different (horror ) stories here, ranging from tablet in RMA for more than 1.5 month, up to replacing the mainboard (charging a total of 200 dollar).
If you are in Europe, ship it back, lie, say it's stuck after JB upgrade, they will fix it (fast!).
Good luck!

Hi funnel, thanks for your help - sorry for missing the Infos.
I'm using "CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.3" (showthread.php?t=1668173). Last time I booted the stock JellyBean Firmware. I'm trying to flash "cm-10-20120920-NIGHTLY-tf300t.zip"

Oh.. this doesn't sound good. What would be the way I should have taken?
I did now flash (after a full wipe + cache wipe) the official firmware (from ASUS Website).
THIS DID WORK!!!
I am now back with my pad on the official ROM. (With an unlocked bootloader - but otherwise like it was when I bought it.)
This fixed my problem but I'm still wondering where I went wrong... Could someone explain me what I did wrong and how do prevent it next time?
Thanks for your help!

CM10 currently doesn't work with the JB bootloader (which you have since updating) as far as I'm aware, which would probably explain why it went wrong.
Check out Hydro or CleanROM perhaps, both have been updated for new JB bootloader.

Ah okay - thanks for the info. I'm now running Hydro ROM and I am very happy with it!
In case someone finds this topic and would like to know which firmware I used to get it back again - it was "ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T Firmware: V10.4.2.13 "

Any chance you could give me the steps? My stock TF300T is stuck on the boot-logo now.
I never had a chance to even put a single app on it, just turned it on and let it download JB when I went to work, came home tried to install and BRICK. Can I follow your steps if my bootloader is not unlocked?
Sorry for noob questions but I was so excited for my first tablet and now it's dead, I feel like a kid again when I found out Santa wasn't real

I'm afraid that you will not be able to follow my steps because I used the CW Recovery. (This can only be installed with an unlocked bootloader (as far as I know)).
But since your bootloader is not unlocked you still have your warranty. I'd suggest to call the ASUS Support Hotline / Mail them and ask if they can help you. In worst case scenario you will have to send them your tablet but should get in repaired for free.

Yeah, ASUS will RMA but I have to pay shipping >.<
Trying to get supplier to just send me a new one, heres to hoping!

1. Hold the Power button in for about 5-7 seconds to get it to reboot. (Seems stupid for the device to auto restart, wish I could change that.)
2. After the screen goes black, hold the Power and the Volume Down buttons until you get the words in the upper left corner to say something about hitting the Volume Up to load Recovery (don't hit the volume up, there's no recovery on an locked bootloader).
3. Hit the Volume Down button unless the "Wipe Data" icon is highlighted and then hit the Volume Up to confirm. This will go through the factory reset option and should bring your tablet back to working condition if it's possible.
* if you get the android laying on his back you tried to boot the recovery partition after step 2, just start over and hold the power button down to reset the device and remember do NOT hit the Volume Up button after it restarts until you have hit the Volume Down button to highlight the Wipe Data icon.
Let us know if this works.

I had the same problem trying to install CM10 with the JB bootloader. As soon as you restart after its installed it hangs at the ASUS logo.
I tried wiping everything but my backup and still had no luck. Thanks for this procedure though. I was really scared I bricked it for a bit there. Was especially scared at the thought that I live in the US and would never get lucky enough to have mine replaced under warranty.
So yes I can confirm your procedure will correct the issue.

CM10 will not work with the JB Bootloader unfortunately. The bootloader will hang at the ASUS logo because of it. Hopefully there will be some development to correct this issue or a CM10 port into the JB bootloader soon, but until then you have the Stock (which has been rooted), Hydro's ROM, and Scott's CleanROM - which I use and love. It's very minimalistic and easy to install.

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

TWRP ecrypted after CROMI update HELP!

Hey guys. Semi newb here. I unlocked my TF300t a while back on the first offical JB update from ASUS. I then followed all the steps to unlock it and use fastboot to install TWRP. This was months back. I have been steadily updating CleanROM Inheritance as the revisions are released.
This latest revision to 3.4.4 flash was easy....as always. I wiped all and installed. When the system came back up I noticed my wifi was broken. I couldnt get it to initialize. So I booted to recovey so I could wipe all and reflash again just in case. Well, TWRP asked me for a password. Ive never encrypted my tablet nor have I used passwrods in the past as I know they can cause issues with access or permissions. I can hit cancel and use twrp but it wont mount anything or allow me to do anything until I 'decrypt' it. Not sure where to go from here. I guess Id like to flash the new official 4.2 from asus but I need advice on how to do this using fastboot.
Any help or pointers are welcomed. I only used the fastboot once to install twrp so I dont completely remember how to use it or if I can use it to flash a full ROM to hopefully reset the tablet. Thanks for any help! Cause I am stumped...
EDIT:
So I tried to turn off the tablet and pressed VOL DN + PWR to get to recovery options and choose fastboot, it just boot loops back to the asus logo twice then goes back in to TWRP. I cant even get into the OS now like I could. I need to unlock TWRP. PLEASE HELP!
EDIT 2:
I just wanted to add that by no means am I putting any blame on the ROM. Its a badass ROM that I love. The issue I am having is most definitely due to the bootloader and TWRP I suspect. I just dont know what I can do in TWRP locked down the way it is to regain some control...or at least fastboot.

It sounds like you flashed the 4.2 update, as that has a new bootloader which causes the behavior you describe. Did you update it to 4.2 before flashing? If so, then check the threads associated with rooting/recovery with 4.2. Basically, you need to install a patched TWRP 2.4.4.0.

Hey thanks for the reply! Actually, no I was not installing 4.2. I would like to install a newer version of twrp but I cant do anything in twrp because it says its encrypted. I did read that other thread but all the options given are not available to me. I cant get to fastboot.
BUT heres an update:
I got the PC to recognize my device as a Transformer. But I couldn't get the naked drivers nor the newer Asus drivers to work. So I modified the .ini file for both the MTP install and USB driver install to include the Hardware ID shown in windows under device manager properties for the device. Basically I modded the .ini so that it also looks for the device ID, then saved and had windows look at the folder I gain to install the driver and this time is installed. So now I am going to try to use a fastboot command....Ill update if this works. Otherwise I may need to try adb and Im a total newb at adb...

UPDATE:
Got the driver installed but 2 issues:
1: Device manager says Device Cannot Start
2: I cant get recovery menu to show. Tablet goes right into TWRP recovery after looping through the ASUS boot screen twice.
I am stumped. I don't want to give up but I think I may have to

UPDATE
Just an update for those who were following:
I can boot into APX but since I never loaded NVFLASH I was screwed. Nothing I did to try to force it into download mode worked. Bootloader must be screwed. In any case, I went on ebay and bought a TF300T mainboard that was pulled from a damaged screen unit. It was 80 bukcs and should be here soon. I figure 80 bucks is better that 180 from ASUS or drop another 300-400 on a new tablet. I wish there was a JIG for the tablet. I used it on a SG SII once.

Lol. I love my TF300T. Sure, i can buy a better tablet but I would also have to spend a lot more money. I've only got $299 invested in my 32gb tablet plus $49 in my dock. I'm a happy camper. My tablet , when connected to the dock, will last almost twice as long as the Nexus on one charge. I can also keep using the tablet while the dock is charging. I really never even need to put the tablet itself into the charger. You can't do that with the more expensive Nexus 10.

This feature is one of the reasons I love this tab. I'm having the same problem as op. I can still get into my 4.2 is though but cannot get recovery to read anything. Maybe ill have to wait for a twrp update.
For now as long as the tab works I can deal with it. I would like to get it working the right way again though.

Have you added the patch yet? This will allow TWRP to pick up your sd card.

I tried flashing the patched one via fastboot but it did not seem to take. Its still encrypted. I'm thinking its not flashing properly. I'm not the only one having this issue. Hopefully I can just wait it out till a fix is found. I'm afriad of screwing it up to where its completely unuseable.

CWM

What is the best way to install CWM on my TF300T, I am on the 4.2 bootloader, and I tried to put the CORRECT JB 4.2 version of TWRP 2.5.0 and it is like a split screen and will not function. Some time before that it asked for a password when I booted the recovery. I just want to start fresh with Clockwork Mod I guess.
Please point me in the correct direction.
Thank you

Not to be a douche but use the search function. And use twrp. Cwm is too buggy on the tf300. Its very easy for it to bug out and brick your pad.

well you are being a DB!
Do you not think I would search , too many posts with too many options.
TY for nothing. TWRP on TF3000T is very buggy btw.

If you searched you would have seen all your questions are answered in the stickies. Also you would have seen twrp is recommended over cwm due to cwm bricking devices. I'm sure you would prefer that not to happen.

First and foremost learn how to search. Its a damn stickied topic. Here is what your looking for took less than a minute to search. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982
If you learned to read you wouldn't have a double screened twrp.

I have tried that and still get a split screen, that is why I want to just flash CWM.
I have looked at that thread as well..

Update to the most recent boot loader. I'm trying to tell you. You have to use twrp. Cwm bricks the tf300t while flashing ROMs. Everyone advises not to use it. I don't even think there's a guide here for it since its too much of a liability. If your getting a split screen you are doing something wrong. Reading everything and doing everything exactly right is the name of the game here. The tf300 is way to easy to brick. If your having problems just installing a custom recovery your best to just stay away from flashing on this device. You have to pay attention to boot loader version and firmware version or you are going to get errors. Your lucky you haven't hard bricked yet.
I know what I'm talking about. I didn't just fall off the turnip truck.

Thanks for the advise, but as you can see, I have almost 3 times the thanks than you have posts. But anyway, I have been flashing for years, I have had every Iphone, and every Galaxy and have not had problems like with the tablet. I like TWRP, I have the latest bootloader, I am on 4.2.....
Maybe I will just return to stock and start fresh again...
Thanks anyway

This is defiantly one of the most sensitive device to do everything on. Asus wasn't to friendly. Its like they want you to brick. And my bad about the rudeness extreme lack of sleep has made me very irritable.

Indeed flashing cwm is another way to brick the TF300. Lucky you didn't flash it.
The problem is that the latest bootloader changes the partition table on the TF300 - it makes /system larger in order to accommodate the larger Asus ROM. The issue is most of the legacy recoveries including the non 4.2 twrp and cwm don't understand this and thus the device becomes bricked as the partition table is now messed up.

[Q] How can i root/flash recovery with a broken screen...

Hey all
Basically i need a non touch recovery that will allow me to flash 4.4 or 4.3 roms
My tf300ts screen was cracked in may i had the screen replaced but the company that did it ripped me off and gave me a faulty screen so now i have no touch i can only controll the tablet with the keyboard dock.... at that point i was rooted running a 4.1 cleanROM
In november i tried to flash a 4.4 rom using CWM nontouch because the only way to navigate my recovery was with the hardware keys
everything got screwed up and i got an unrecoverable bootloader error everything had to be wiped and basically now i have an unlocked 4.2 bootloader running asus stock firmware 4.2.1
im just wondering how i can root the device without having to use any touch features...and if there is a non touch recovery i can use that can flash 4.3/4.4 roms.
If not can i flash roms throu adb or fastboot ive got a pretty good idea of how fastboot works and the commands used from the last month or two trying to unbrick this thing
honestly am i better off just waiting untill i get the screen fixed?? ill probably be getting around to it soon but the majority of the time spent on my tablet im doing stuff which requires root...
Thanks in Advance!!

AFAIK, CWM is the only custom recovery with no-touch control, except it has no version that works with bootloader 4.2. The one that works is that found in the NVflash Image (Flatline) for the TF300, which allows flashing of ROMs, but would not back up.
Back to the touchscreen: Did it ever work after the repair/replacement of the screen?

after it cracked i had the screen replaced i brought it in to a place called TechKnow Space in Toronto... i waited hours and finnalythe guy told me that whatever registers the touch must have broke when the screen cracked. he said he 'felt sorry' and only charged me 60 bucks.
2 weeks later i popped off the back only to realize the cable that runs from the screen to the tablet wasnt even there lol
i called the place that did the screen and they knew exactly what they had done and were ready to replace the part free of charge
they said they thought we were on an understanding that the screen was faulty and thats why i only paid 60 bucks..
not the case but anyways i just have to go back downtown and probably argue with them untill they remember who i am....
but back to the recovery i dont really care about being able to backup i had to factory reset the tablet yesterday
i just want a way to flash custom roms sso will this nv flash work or if not can i flash them through fastboot?

Actually the kitkat CWM is compatible with only the 4.2 bootloader, but you will have to flash a kitkat rom.

k thanks guys ill give the kitkat cwm a try... any suggstions on a 4.4 rom preferably without an aroma installer as id assume im gunna run into the touch problems at that point

CM doesn't have aroma, and im pretty sure Omni doesn't either. Personally I like CM, but Omni has a multiwindows feature thats pretty cool.

I personally don't care for anything that goes corporate for the simple reason that "help" is an alien notion to corporations. Why would anybody think they can get anything for free from these entities? Plus the CWM is quite limited that way. That's why I deliberately ignored it.

I wouldn't exactly call CWM corporate...there are plently of open source versions and no charges or buisness
