Looking for some input on clean ROM on the TF300T,
This is my second time trying to install it and both times it was successful, however as soon as the boot image loads up it stays stuck loading... I did download the file again thinking it may have been corrupted.
It has been sitting there loading for 20 minutes now.
I am using cwm the latest version and I did not install a kernel still running stock
Any ideas on what could cause this?

CWM has issues on this unit. Many, many complaints. I use twrp. If you decide to use twrp be sure to choose JB and tf300t version.
Clean ROM is freaking amazing! Seriously just do it I love the mods I can make for it too! Can't wait till I get my volume long press seek mod done! Love this device!

I initially when i first rooted intalled Twrp however i was not able to flash anything at all with it, it would give me errors.... that is the only reason i went to cwm.... I was able to make backups and restores with but ROMs flashing would just fail

OK. It was just a suggestion since the problem you are experiencing is usually cleared by using twrp.

I'm sorry it is hard to tell since you have chosen an older twrp to install. The current is five versions later and was updated as the kernels were updated to account for changes. The rom you are flashing is based on 10.4.4.25.

Use TWRP 2.4.1.0
You are using a very old version of TWRP that has bugs with AROMA installer. So that is most likely where your issues are.
What ROM are you ccoming from? What boot loader are you on.
Sounds to me like you need to upgrade your boot loader and possibly do a full wipe - make sure you are on latest TWRP first otherwise you could brick if you use an older recovery!

The only ROM i was able to flash that was fully functioning is cm10.1,
i have also flashed PA 2.9 but had some bugs i couldn't stand (screen rotation not working, extended desktop with no pie)
as for boot loader it says 1.00e by "US _Epad-10.4.2.20-20121228" A03
I just updated the TWRP as recommended on the other post (v2.4.1.0)
on every flash i wipe dalvik / Cache / Factory reset.
Before attempting to boot into Clean Rom i also followed the steps on screen saying to wipe cache and dalvik.
I m hoping PA releases a 3.0 for this device and/or i m able to get Clean rom running

If you are coming from cm10.1 you will definitely need to do a full wipe as it is non stock. It does say this in the first post. You only do a dalvik and cache wipe when upgrading from the same ROM or in CROMI's case from stock.
Do a data wipe in recovery, make sure you have a titanium backup or equivalent if you want to restore apps.
Success!!!
It worked perfectly fine after i install the back up i did before i flashed my 1st costume rom,
I rooted made a back up at stock/rooted... It just would not install from a full wipe,
it install fine once i flashed that specific backup and dirty flashed then wiped dalvik and cache before booting.
I know the CM 10.1 nightly was experimental.
I flashed it, and it worked decently well enough.
What I failed to realize was that 10.1 flashes a new kernel on the phone, one that is incompatible with CM 10.0. I'm guessing the 4.2 base requires a new kernel.
So Fine, I've tried flashing the stock kernel on my phone, and then installing CM10, but no fish.
Any attempts I've made to change my kernel and then install CM 10 have resulted in my phone being stuck on the CM boot screen (the cyan circle animation)
Flashing CM10.1 nightly from twrp lets my phone boot up, because (i suppose) that rom installation just installs the compatible kernel again.
Can someone please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong with my kernel flashing?

I'm on the 1.09 hboot. I haven't messed with my hboot ever. Should I be upgrading? I'll have to look it up.
I did try what you suggested.
I extracted the boot.img from CM10 stable for evita, flashed it via fastboot.
Then i rebooted into recovery, wiped my system, my cache, my dalvik cache, and did a factory reset.
Then I flashed CM 10.
After all this, still stuck on the cm boot animation. :3 I give it about 10 minutes before I decide its stuck. That is enough time, I think.

Ok no you want to stay on hboot 1.09 and redownload the latest cm10..and do these exact instructions
Wipe factory reset
System
Caches
Install Rom
Install gapps
I'm thinking you just had a bad download

I've done that. But just to be sure, I'm gonna try a fresh download once more. ^_^ Brb 10 minutes.

OOh that worked. Thanks a ton! ^_^
Probably was a bad download all three times I tried to download it before. :/ (I should probably buy a lottery ticket now :/ )
Now, Let me try installing my rooted stock rom. :3
Almost Same Problem
I have HTC One XL
-rooted
-unlocked
-bootloader unlocked
-hboot 1.14
-twrp recovery
I was also running the 10.1 expiremental (the first one). It was very buggy, so I tried out the newer experimental to see if the problems were fixed. The newer one was worse, so I decided to switch back to 10.0 nightly. I used fastboot to change the kernel to the one extracted from the 10.0 rom zip. I went to recovery and installed the 10.0 rom, but I DID NOT WIPE ANYTHING THE FIRST TIME. Either it slipped my mind, or I was thinking it wasn't necessary because I was still using a CM rom. The device would not boot, but instead of hanging on the cm animation screen, I'm stuck on the HTC logo screen. I went back to fastboot and did the kernel again and the phone automatically rebooted up correctly, however after a reboot i'm still stuck at the htc logo screen. It reminds me of tethered jailbreaks on iOS, lol. I may have to reflash the kernel every time I reboot. I tried stable, nightly, 10.1 nightly. no dice. any ideas?

Sounds like the best solution would be what I did, thanks to box of kittens.
Full wipe. (factory reset, system, cache)
Flash a download of CM to make sure you don't have a damaged copy.

Actually, I just remembered. If you're on the new hboot, you should be flashing the boot img through fastboot, and then installing the zip. Since you've been doing all that anyway, perhaps its time to just wipe everything and start over, step by step.
> download cm 10.0
> check md5 to make sure it's proper
> extract boot.img and flash it via fastboot
> reboot into recovery.
> wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, and factory reset
> transfer the rom and flash it via recovery
:/ I'm no expert here, but that's what I'd be doing now.
My Infinity won't boot any rom, not even stock. It will get stuck in a few second and reboot.
I was on the 10.6.1.14.4 bootloader and cm-20130430. I decided to try CROMI X 4.4 and downloaded the bootloader + twpr flasher (http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22909751817928748) because it was the fastest way to get twpr. When the bootloader + twpr was flashed I rebooted back into recovery and wiped everything. Then I flashed CROMI X 4.4, but it was bootlooping.
I tried other roms but they also started bootlooping. I tried different bootloaders, like the one from dasunsrule32. I even went back to 4.1.1 bootloader + stock firmware from the Asus' site.
Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this?
You didn't write that you wiped /data when you moved from CM to CROMI, so try that.

Sorry, I forgot to say that I wiped /data before flashing CROMI. I have tried almost every rom/bootloader but it's still bootlooping . I'm afraid it has something to do with the bootloader, I hope someone has a solution.
Does it hang at the boot animation, or does it constantly reboot to the bootloader screen?

I have found a solution. Instead of a factory reset I wiped the entire internal storage and also found an option 'format data' in a older version of twpr. When I did both my tablet booted back into Android. Went through the process of flashing the new bootloader again and now I am on CROMI X 4.4 without any problems.
Thanks for helping

This is timeless info for newbs. It may seem second nature to those of us with flashing experience, but thank you for noting this! Also, your OC V8 kernel is TEH OHSUM.:good:
Hey everybody.
EDIT: Thanks to berndblb and all the others who replied, it works again like a charm.
I just got my Asus Transformer back from RMA because it wouldn't latch with the dock anymore.
Now I'm getting random reboots when the tablet boots up. Sometimes it makes it to the lockscreen, but in this case it freezes immediately.
I now tried reinstalling CM 10.0 and 10.1.2 after wipping all the data from the Tablet.
I then tried installing the cleanrom with the data2sdcard fix, but I have now the same problem as before.
Additional Infos:
Recovery: TWRP 2.5.0.0
Rom at the moment: CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.7 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049274
Data2SD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962507
Bootloader: 10.4.4.25-20131228
If you have any questions or need more logfiles don't hesitate to ask. Somehow I can't get logcat to work before it shutdowns, so I can only provide log which are stored on the filesystem. (I can access the shell within the recovery and push and pull files).
Thanks in advance for your help and for your time in which you read this text.
Maybe an old bootloader? Check the version displayed in the bootloader menu.
I've got the 10.4.4.25-20131228 Version, which is recommended to install CleanROM.

"Wiping all your data" means exactly what? Have you done a factory reset in TWRP? If yes, try formating your data partition.
Plus, you are trying to install an outdated rom that is no longer supported.
sbdags has moved on to CROMi-X, the JB 4.2.1 based rom for this tablet. Look for the thread in the development section.
Flash the bootloader/TWRP package from the first post, boot back into your old rom.
Then do a factory reset in TWRP which will wipe your data partition and flash the latest CROMi-X rom.

I'll try that. I wasn't sure if the newer Version supported the Data2SD Mod so I tried installing the older Version.
But I see now that it's supported.
@LetMeKnow
As I'm using the Data2SD Mod, I get the error message "Encryption unsuccessful".
Which means it's really installed on the SD-Card.
I also am able to start it up to the setup process, but before I can finish the setup, the tablet randomly reboots.

You dirty flashed it over CM11? You didn't wipe system, data, cache and dalvik? I always do that, even when I'm flashing an AOSP-based ROM over another AOSP-based ROM.
The only time I won't do this is if I'm flashing say CM11 over CM11.
If you dirty flashed, that might be your problem, but I don't know for sure as I don't use PacMan ROM.
I didn't dirty flash. Cm11 was on there before. I used philz wipe forfor new rom like I always do.
I can get into the fastboot menu. Is there something I can do there to reflash cm11?

Not sure then. I always use TWRP to wipe and flash. Could be an issue with the ROM itself or you got a bad download. You might want to try and download the ROM again to ensure it wasn't a bad download.
figured it out. must have had something happen to the recovery file.
in fast boot i flashed a new recovery image and was able to boot into recovery.
Maybe you have the JB bootloader and you flashed a KitKat bootloader based CM11 build... That could explain why your phone is not booting properly.
If nothing works you just can flash a STOCK FIRMWARE to begin again.
The phone has stock kitkat. How can I confirm?

That's a no-go. You won't be able to flash a KK-based ROM on a system with a JB Bootloader. The device will abort the installation immediately with a friendly reminder. At least the XT926. Been there, tried that.
^ agree. My atrix HD has a jbbl and I can Confirm this
