Katkiss trouble

Hi,
I got some trouble this evening flashing the KITKASS ROM on my TF101
Since then my tablet is loop Rebooting ( only the EEpad logo) over and over again.
I tryed to wipe with the factory reset but it does not help,
My Tablet can be recognized as APX. but i'm not able to access TWRP anymore to try installing a new ROM.
Can someone help me ?

Boot to APX, the use EasyFlasher to flash TWRP again. Then I would update to the latest TWRP and try factory reset and flashing the ROM.

Hi frederuco,
Thanks for replying as quickly !
I did use Easyflasher to flash TWRP in APX mode ... It also says that everything worked fine and that I should reboot in recovery mode.
So after that I rebooted but it still loops over and over again with the EePad logo again =/

Did you see the success messages on the tablet when using EasyFlasher? If not, it didn't work. Check you device manager for the APX device and that you used the naked drivers.
If you did see the success messages, then try flashing stock with EasyFlasher. See if that fixes your boot loop.
If so, then use EasyFlasher to flash TWRP again and then flash KatKiss.

No OS, TWRP fails to flash .ZIPs

Hey guys,
I'm having some trouble with flashing a new ROM and now I've soft-bricked my device.
I was trying to flash from CROMi to CM11 so I wiped data, cache, dalvik using TWRP. But when i tried to flash CM11 M9, i would get the "failed" error. I tried flashing other ROMs but same result - "FAILED".
So I thought maybe it was the recovery. I downloaded a CWM recovery (in .zip) and tried to flash it. FAILED!
I tried to restore my device using the "Recover /Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore with custom recovery" method from this post. Since it is basically flashing the stock ROM, naturally it fails.
Now I'm out of ideas. How can I save my tablet?
Thanks for your help guys!
PS: I'm trying to install CMW via fastboot. When I press power + vol down, I get to the screen with "RCK, Android, Data Wipe"; I dont see the USB icon. How do i boot into fastboot?

You are in fastboot mode when you see the three icons. Read the tiny script.
Except for CM11 M9 you did not give us anything to work with.
Give us the version numbers of:
- CROMi-X you were running
- your bootloader
- your recovery
My best guess is you are trying to flash something with an incompatible recovery, but that's just a wild guess.....
And stop flashing willy nilly until you know what's going on. You can brick this tablet if you try hard enough, you know....

Hey bern,
Thanks for the reply.
My tablet got really slow so I decided to flash CM 11 M9, which is what I use on my Note 3.
I'm running TWRP 2.6.1.0. Not sure which CROMi I was running because I can't boot into Android. I did a data wipe prior to (attempting to) flashing CM11 and now it boots straight to recovery.
I read that TWRP is not compatible with CM11 and that I should flash CWM. But TWRP fails when I try to flash anything so I'm thinking I should attempt ADB sodeload or terminal command and load that way?
Thanks again
Edit: I downloaded CM11 M9 for tf700. I also tried various nightlies in case my original download was corrupt. It ends in failure

Hi berndblb!
I'm also having this problem and I see that you're quite active in the TF700 forum that you could help me out. I wouldnt say I'm an expert but I have tinkered with phones (mostly Samsung and Nexus devices) in the past so I am familiar with ADB, terminal commands, flashing ROMs, etc.
I'm running TWRP 2.6.1. I was running CROMi-X (not sure which version) and wanted to flash OmniROM. However, TWRP would show "error flashing zip" and "failed" in red. I tried flashing a few other zips including TWRP 2.7.1.1 and CWM (I readTWRP is not compatible with some ROMs) and I would still get the error and "failed".
So now, I can't boot into the OS to flash a recovery via fastboot or via CWM Rom Manager, nor can I flash anything in TWRP. I also attempted to flash TWRP 2.7.1.1 via terminal command
HTML:
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4[HTML]. I loads but it doesnt install when i restart my device.
What do you think I should try next? I'm getting pretty desperate at this point. Is my device bricked-bricked or can i salvage it?
Thanks!

Right now the most important thing is the bootloader version ....
On the bootloader screen upper left there is a bootloader version in really small print ...
This is what we need to know ...
Thx Josh

Exactly.
I also would like to know how you performed the wipe you mentioned. The tablet booting only and straight to recovery would indicate that you used 'Wipe Data' from the bootloader???
Also, do not use ROM Manager. It does not work well with the Transformers and can cause a lot of problems.
I have a feeling another user is going to benefit from your excellent unbrick guide, Josh...
Aren't you glad you wrote it?? [emoji12]

Hi Josh. All i get is the Asus starting screen and "your device is unlocked". Power + vol down doesn't not take me to bootloader.

No boot to recovery ?
No bootloader ?
No nvflash blob backups ?
If that is the case then you are not looking good ...
There is no way out of this one ...
We need fastboot or recovery one or the other ..
Sorry for the bad news ....
Thx Josh

Do you have adb access when it boots to the Asus splash screen?

Help downgrading from TWRP 2.8.5 to 2.8.0.1

Mac Os X - adb tool and fastboot installed.
Xperia S lt26i
I had the 4.1.x Android version, and I wish to install the Lollipop 5.1.1 version.
For doing that I need to install a ROM.
To install a ROM It may be usefull to have a recovery tool.
I'm using TWRP 2.8.5.0 as a recovery tool.
Problem:
Each time I try to install the ROM uCyan-12.1-b05.zip or simpleAOSP.zip, I get the same error:
It hangs on
"detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/mmcb1k0p12"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
, and, after a while, I get:
" ... Operation not supported on transport endpoint set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed ..."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After some research I found out that, this error may be related with this warning message that TWRP provides:
" Kernel does not have support for reading SELinux contexts"
After some other research, I found out that, in order to avoid the error, I should use a OLDER version of TWRP, for example: 2.8.0.1.
If this is true, and if this is my only way around, I don't know how to downgrade to the older version.
I tried:
Code:
"adb reboot bootloader"
But the device simply restarts, and get's loaded into TWRP again.
No blue light, nothing.
Without being able to enter on the bootloader mode, I don't know how can I re-install the older version of TWRP necessary to install Lollipop 5.1.1. as desired.
Can anyone please help me out.
I'm stuck.

If I remember right, you can flash TWRP from within TWRP itself.

I tried to select the older version of Flash TWRP and flash it, but it just refreshes and returns to the current (2.8.5.0) version.
Perhaps I'm not doing it right?
(Clicking on "Install", and then: selected the old ROM version, finally, I swipe to flash.)
Doesn't work, the version stays the same as before (2.8.5.0)

TWRP flashing
Hi, I once had this exact problem...
This worked for me:
Reboot into recovery, go to Install and install the version of TWRP that you need.
Go to Reboot and select Recovery.
The device should then reboot into the newly flashed version of TWRP.

if you cant using your bootloader, try to using rashr.apk. download twrp image based on your device, and then, flash it using that app. should be success for me. just try

Thank you all.
I solved by flashing something, just to enter the bootloader stage. Once there, I flash the older twrp.
.apk was not an option because I didn't had a OS.
I tried to flash twrp using twrp, but it did nothing.
Anyway, issue solved.
Thank you for your suggestions!

Infinite loop Asus TF300T. Brick? HELP

I've been using the ROM KatKiss - Nougatella for many months and I've always installed every new version without problem. But this time, I was using the TF300T with a common use and I chose the option REBOOT in the power off menu. I had done this before several times. However, on this ocassion, the tablet got stuck in a infinite loop.
Then, I tried to get into the recovery twrp_tf300t_kang_2.8.7.2 that I have always used, but I wasn't able to do it. It started the loop again.
Later, I downloaded the drivers for windows 10 from ASUS website (Splashtop_Streamer_Win_v1704) and the program minimal_adb_fastboot_v1.4.3_setup to use fastboot. Then I pushed the turn-on-button and the vol - and I tried to reinstall the TWRP KANG recovery again through my laptop (Windows 10) with the command: "fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img"
The operation was correct and I could get into the TWRP again.
There, I tried to make wipes and install the ROM Nougatella again, but the terminal shows error messages.
In addition, when I turn the tablet off and I try to get into the TWRP recovery again, it begins the loop again.
CONCLUSION: I can reinstall TWRP KANG through fastboot, but there, I cannot make wipes or install things.
Any ideas? Is there any partition corrupt? What commands should I try on the TWRP terminal?
IMAGES ATTACHED.

Can anyone help me to fix it?

Did you ever fix it?

No. I am at the same point.

Have you tried formatting data? What error messages are you getting when you try to wipe or install?

Tf300tg only boots to recovery

Hello. I have a TF300tg that i recently tried to flash Katkiss nougatella on. It has the correct bootloader and it's unlocked. Unfortunately for me I didn't flash the TWRP Kang recovery, and did it with the TWRP 2.5 that was on it. After that when i boot, it takes me to recovery automatically, and when I try to enter fastboot mode, I see 3 Linux penguins, 2 lines of dialog and then it boots to recovery again. I tried flashing a different rom (Cromi-X) , and still nothing! Please help me :/

Did you try wiping system/cache and flashing another recovery? Or reinstalling recovery with fastboot? My tf300t has been broken for years, so I can't follow along, but that's where I'd start.

But you always had acces via adb & fastboot?
And installing via sd-card was also possible?

Sd-card install was possible but fastboot was not.
