Worlds Most Complicated Issue - HELP!

My TF is in a complicated mess because im stupid!
I need your help XDA Community!
My TF was rooted with KRAKD rom. I decided I wanted to unroot my TF and followed what seemed like a popular guide from theunlockr.com
And it worked except it rolled me back to the stone age - 8.2.3.13
Naturally I connected to my WIFI network to update to the latest version but it kept saying that there's no update available so I thought I would give a manual update a try which I have done before so I know I followed the correct procedures.
In asus recovery mode the loading bar pops up for a while then the triangle with the exclamation mark appears. When I booted it a window popped up which read something like "update failed (12)".
Then I tried something I saw in a forum which apparently is another way to do a manual recovery. Renaming the zip file to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip and leaving it on the root of external SD or internal (tried both) and booting in recovery. It didn't work.
So I stupidly thought that I might aswell try rooting it again with nachoroot and flash recovery then flash the latest stock rom. Well what happened was that it rooted but I could not flash CWM following any methods. The one click recovery installer apk didnt work just said file parsing error. Tried doing it through ADB but always eventually leads to permission denied.
So I have a half rooted transformer with 8.2.3.13 on which razor claw and one click recovery cant be installed and I cant update it to the latest firmware.
Device Details:
Model Number: EPAD
Android Version: 3.0.1

NVFLASH doesn't seem to detect my device
When I put the TF in APX my computer recognises but when I run NVFLASH it doesn't detect it plus I can hear the Windows 7 disconnect sound only when I run NVFLASH.
The drivers seem to be fine.

did you even install superuser from market after you rerooted?

Get the 8.6.5.23 ROM, put it on your SD card and make 2 copies, name one WW_epad-user-8.6.5.23.zip and name the other EP101_SDUPDATE.zip, I find the first one is good enough, but having multiple copies can't hurt.
Now try to let stock recovery flash your SD card file
That worked for me..(the 8.6.6.23 is for the tf101G, but it works as well on mine which is standard tf101, if you happen to find that one, just name the zip file appropriately)
Let me know if this works, your problem is not complicated BTW haha

I'm in a similar boat (bricked my device and somehow need to flash something to have the tablet boot). Can't we just use the firmware linked in the OP? It might not be the german version but I suppose we could still flash it and just change the language or something? Anyway, that's what I'm gonna try as soon as my SD card arrives.

Is it possible, to install the english OS on a "german" tablet?
Or encounter some problems?
English itself, shouldn't be the problem.

I was wondering whether I might get some helpt flashing the "Acer_AV041_A511_1.011.00_WW_GEN1". My Tablet has been bricked for some time because I (stupid as I am) tried to do a factory reset using the recovery provided by nikagl even though he specifically said that we were not to do that (I did read that warning but after a few weeks I just forgot about it :/).
Anyway, I've installed the cmw recovery by nothrills and tried to flash aforementioned firmware. I put it on an external SD card which has been formatted to FAT32. I went to the recovery menu and tried to flash the zip file. However, I got a getprop(product.name) error and the installation was aborted. After browsing the board a bit I found out that I have to delete the line starting with 'assert(getprop("ro.product.name")' which is located in META-INF\com\google\android\. But still, the tablet won't flash the firmware. It simply says "Installation aborted. Status 5 [or 6]".
I've also tried flashing the firmware by going back to stock recovery, renaming the firmware to update.zip and starting the tablet by holding the power and the minus button which is supposed to start the flashing process automatically. However, that just results in a red " ! " and an Android lying on its back.
I'd really appreciate it if someone was able to help me. (I've already sent the tablet to the Acer customer service who said that the installation of cmw recovery has damaged the motherboard. They say they will replace it for ~250€.)

Thank you for trying to help, I really appreciate it .
You have to edit line 1 of the updater-script in META-INF\com\google\android\
Delete this: in assert(getprop("ro.product.name") == "a510_emea_de");

That is mostly what I did. Except I used winrar instead of 7zip. The first line of the updater-script was "assert(getprop("ro.product.name") == "a511_ww_gen1");" and I deleted it. When I then try to flash the file it says "E:Error in /external_sd/Acer_AV041_A511_1.011.00_WW_GEN1 - Copy.zip (Status 6)"
I also tried renaming the zip file first but the result was the same.
Edit:
As it turns out, the Status 6 error does only occur when I edit the updater-script file with wordpad. If I open it with the editor it works just fine. I was able to flash the firmware. However, the tablet then wouldn't do anything else then showing "Acer" on the screen for ever and ever and ever and ever :/.

In the case you installed a A510 ROM (without 3G) and can't flash back to the original A511 to be able to upgrade to JB and have a working 3G functionality, cause CWM vomits status 7 or 4 errors while flashing the offered .zip, try this way

[solved] Can't update.

First of all I feel bad for making a thread because I feel like the answer is out there and I just cant find it.
The unit is a TF101G and WW version B9O.
Basically I used this to return to stock http://theunlockr.com/2011/11/28/how-to-unroot-and-remove-cwm-recovery-on-asus-transformer/
This worked fine but now i can't seem to update to stock ICS the tablet does not find any updates automatically (or going into settings and forcing a search)
and when manually downloading ICS from Asus both 9.2.2.4 and 9.2.2.6, neither work.
I was originally using CWM but with no luck there i tried using stock recovery current firmware version is 8.2.3.13
I cant seem to figure this out.

Do a factory reset then update thatll do it
Hit the thanks button if i helped

You need to be completely stock for the update to go, as in no CWM and sometimes it matters which SKU you are on. You can always NVFlash stock ICS if nothing else works

Nvflash does not work for tf101G
So ive got 3 files on my microsd card now after wipingdata as ROM CHIEF suggested the orifinal file name unchanged(yes its unzipped once) the same file called EP_UPDATE.zip and the same file again called UPDATE.zip still when i boot into stock recovery it shows a progress bar for a few seconds then goes to the android and '!' sign and no combination of vol up/down power on seem to activate any controls (like it does on my phone)
Edit: I'm now trying to root VIA PERI and it does not work i get "cannot open for write access is denied" i also tried using wolfs method manually (Im pretty sure PERI just automates wolf) to flash the ICS blob directly and get the same access denied. I guess the exploit isn't working ?

What fw are you on? You need to be on a ICS firmware, yes PERI automates wolf's exploit.

yeah I was on 8.2 something which i think was the problem. managed to get it to update by renaming the zip to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip. It didnt really help that i had 5 different people telling me to rename it to different things. I'm happy I got it to work in the end.
PERI saved me in the first place when i originally couldn't flash anything (CWM was from rom manager) so thanks for the nifty program.

Transformer won't update

Hello everyone, this is my first question and I've been pulling my hair out trying to get my TF700 updated to JB. I've looked though all of the forums but I haven't found a very good answer for my problems. I'm unlocked but on stock recovery and .30 firmware. The issue I'm having is I can't update to JB either through OTA or with the dlpkgfile way. I've tried resetting my .30 firmware to make sure the build.prop is correct by using the SD card and power + vol down and I keep getting a signature verification failed error. Every time I try to do any updating I get an android with the red triangle exclamation point. Any help would be really appreciated, I can't get anything to work.

I hope you are aware of the fact that once unlocked, your device will not receive any OTA updates from ASUS any more. By using the unlock tool from ASUS, you have forfeited both your warranty and any future OTA updates. As such, the easiest way for you to upgrade to JB is to download and manually flash the latest firmware for your tf700 from ASUS website. Below is the all-in-one guide for the tf700, you can refer to the Clean Factory Restore section for more information:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833212
Btw, since your tablet is unlocked, you should just check out the Development section of this forum to flash a custom ROM to your liking. After all, the only reason to unlock is to use custom ROMs.

You need to check your system information to verify your build, WW or US and you may want to download the right firmware again from the Asus websie. Sometime the file is corrupted or have a wrong firmware. When you get the new firmware from Asus, you need to unzip it once because there is a zip file inside another zip file. Now you can copy the Second zip file to your internal root directory on your device and reboot it. After a reboot, you will see the new firmware message notification on the lower right corner. Now you can select the message from the notification and follow the instructions from there. Good luck..

[Q] TF300T Flashed Wrong SKU, need to load CM

Ok, so here's my situation.
I bought a used Transformer Pad TF300T off Craigslist and it was already unlocked and rooted with ClockworkMod and CyanogenMod. Well, I have no use for all that, so I wanted to reflash to the most current stock firmware. Well, I downloaded the absolutely wrong firmware with the wrong SKU (JP and I live in US) and now I have a Japanese tablet. :/
After much work, I finally got it re-rooted with ClockworkMod v6.0.1.0 so I can install zip from sd card. However, any US or WW SKU firmware I try to install, after the install is complete and I reboot, right underneath the "The device is unlocked" text is "Signature mismatch" in red text.
I tried to install CM 9 & 10 to see if that would help, and it appears to install but it goes from loading 1% to 100% in about a second, and then gets stuck at the ASUS screen.
So, is there anyway someone can guide me? I'm sure I've done some stuff bass ackwards, but I'm only intermediate at hacking and modding, so help is appreciated. I've been scouring forums for weeks, so I give. Help please?

Oh man, this is the best forum. I no longer need assistance because I found the answer

I accidentally flashed the JP firmware on my tf300t, I was trying to update from 4.1.1. Now my recovery (was CWM 6.0.x.x) shows a dead droid when I go into RCK. I am searching around and can not find a way to reinstall CMW without using the fastboot method. How were you able to get it installed? I feel like such a moron for flashing the wrong SKU.Any help here would be SUPER appreciated.
