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.

Right I rooted my N1 today, all went fine, then I had some issues trying to install a new recovery image (still on stock recovery right now) and I've rebooted my N1 and INSTANTLY AFTER the screen with the big X and the padlock my screen turns off. Everything seems to work but u can't see anything.
I can access fastboot and recovery so it seems like there may be some hope for my phone. Any ideas people?

Cheers thats great news! Only issue is I have the stock recovery image and my laptop isn't working exactly right when I try to flash a new recovery image. I'll have to work on setting it up right I guess but since now I know it'll work its worth it. Already gone most of today without a phone and theres no way I'm reverting to my Motorola DEXT.
Thanks.
Hi guys,
So I think I f^&*ed up royally. I got the official jellybean update, but of course, not to be content with what I had, I tried to flash CWM recovery on it using fastboot.
It didn't work. I tried to reboot to recovery and it would just freeze, so I would have to force a hard reboot.
No big deal, right? I'll just flash TWRP. I tried to initiate fastboot again and it would just freeze again...
So I rebooted once again (holding vol down) and tried the factory reset option... surely that would fix my problem, right? WRONG! It tried to boot recovery (which is now a non-working CWM) and it totally sh*t the bed. I cannot boot the tablet now nor will it do anything when I try to hold vol down. It just sits at the boot screen no matter what I do.
If there anything I can do, or am I totally screwed? My bootloader is unlocked, so I believe the warranty is void.
Help, please?

As your bootloader is unlocked, like mine -- Asus doesn't have an obligation to help per the "Revised" warranty the Unlocking process warned you about.
Asus does have representatives that hang around here, so give them a holler and see if they'll help. I've e-mailed both Gary Key and Asus_USA about my/our situation.
Well u do have APX mode... is there a day to do something with that?

You were locked, got OTA, and then flashed custom recovery?
Or you were unlocked, returned to stock, flashed jb and then custom recovery?

You hit the nail on the head with the second guess. I was unlocked, returned to stock, got the OTA update, then tried to install recovery with fast boot. Now bricked. Can't boot, can't get into fast boot or anything. Vol down doesn't do anything. I can get into apx mode, if only I knew what to do with it.
I've been trying to figure this out. But so far nothing. I've tried flashing cm10 images in fastboot. I built a recovery and used it to try and go back to stock but it give me a mismatch error. I tried flashing cm10 in recovery and everything takes me back to asus screen. Any other ideas I could try?
I would love to be able to use my tablet again.

Okay.
I am so lucky for now!!!
Same situation but, flashed twice recovery with goo app(twrp), didnt worh, flashed twice again twrp with fastboot, and then flashed cwm with fastboot!
And still bootable!
But recovery dont work!!
Also another user who managed to get cwm to work, had a non working recovery first, but not bricked device!
Why installing custom recovery bricks some users and others dont?

Perhaps it has something to do with how the recoveries were flashed. This only happens if you tried to REflash the recovery AFTER applying JB.
I did fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img
Some people noticed they didn't have a recovery working, and didn't try reflashing. Those that did, seemed to have bricked.
There seems to be a test recovery floating around in the other thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841211&page=2
It seems all the recoveries need to be updated to the new kernel.

I created an RMA request with Asus, the fellow on the phone says it's bewteen $87 to $100 to repair the OS on a device with an unlocked bootloader. This excludes the cost of you shipping Asus the tablet. However, it includes the cost of labor, diagnostic, and shipping back to you.
For those of you weighing your options, there's one answer.
:/ If only i lived in the states i would send it to Asus for 100 bucks if its necessary. Im going to have to check with the Asus representative here in Colombia...
If you do get your tablet fixed please tell us, that would be awesome.

My TF300T is in Grapevine TX having the same exact thing done as I am bricked at the moment. Can you please let me know what they end up charging you? Have they contacted you at all at this point? Please post updates as I am interested if we both end up with the same charges and repairs. Mine is stuck on the boot screen with no fastboot or adb access.. just like yours.

I'm just curious where the problems are truly coming from. I got the jb update ota, unlocked after and installed cwm recovery with no issues at all. Is it possible the wrong recovery was installed? Ii think v6 cwm is the only one that works with jb.

What I understood is that's a partitioning difference on JB... Bricked mine too, more and more showing up on these boards... I guess the more issues will show up, the bigger the chance we can have someone fix them (Not me, that's for sure )
Happened to me too. I'm hoping that ASUS will fix it for a reasonable price. Otherwise I'm just going to get a Nexus 7.
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.

but this time i need your help, i just want to make sure i cover all my bases and that nothing goes wrong
right now my tf300t's firmware is 4.2.1, the tablet is still locked and i'm wondering if i'm still able to back everything up with nflash before i do anything else, and i would also like to know what is the best recovery i should install CWM or TWRP and should i even go with Cyanogenmod or is there anything else out that that is better or should i just stay with stock, thanks very much.
ok well it seems i can't unlock the bootloader on this used ebay motherboard, stock firmware it is then i guess

I just picked up the dock yesterday and all I can say is WOW. I cant believe I was on the fence for so long before purchasing it. Anyway, I have noticed that some keys don't work (brightness control, camera, bluetooth), which I am guessing is a software issue due to having a custom ROM. What I am curious about is if there is any way to set custom key bindings, whether it be an app, or some kind of firmware I need to install in TWRP. I am mostly looking for a way to wake up my tablet by pressing a key on the keyboard rather than pressing the power button every time. I have tried searching, but I didn't turn up anything, so if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!

I know for a fact that the dock works fine on CM11, which is what I am on. You could install that for your ROM.
Ok, I think I'll finally give kitkat a try on my tablet (used CM11 on my SGS3 and it wasn't very stable). It's a lazy day today anyway....project time!

CM11 on tf300t is super fast, smooth, and stable. You can follow my steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48508679&postcount=7

I need to update TWRP. I am currently on 2.4.4.0 because 2.5.0.0 wouldnt install correctly (displayed split screen, touch was unusable). I have bootloader 10.6.1.8 and TWRP would only work on 2.4.4.0. Can I update TWRP to the newest (2.6.something) without bricking my device? Otherwise, how would I upgrade my bootloader? Im searching, I really am.

Yes it should work, but can you tell me the file name of the TWRP 2.5.x.x you installed to make sure?

"openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob" was the file that I initially tried to flash, which didn't work. I then installed "openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob", (both of which were from techerrata) that I am currently using.

Thats weird, because they both are compatible. Make sure you don't have any other TWRP blobs lying around with the same name on your tablet or fastboot folder. Scanno's TWRP is only compatible with the 4.2 bootloader and check the md5sum before flashing.
