maybe u should try to flash any custom (maybe cm7) rom, after flashing while restart you may find recovery menu....format system (not memory card) and wipe dalvik cache in advance opting....maybe this will help u...
you can find custom rom for g3 in here.......<<<<<<<<<<<http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234591>>>>>>>>>>>

[Q] Custom firmware issues..

Howdy.
I've been using custom firmware since I got my phone over a year ago, but I'm now having big issues.
I tried to install a 4.2.2 ROM and couldn't boot, even after trying bunch of times, clearing cache, all that jazz..
So.. usually I would just put on another ROM or just restore from a backup, but I'm stuck in a weird situation.
I have a bunch of ROM backups (Clockwork Mod Recovery) going back to April last year, the 1st one is standard AT&T, then various custom ROMS (last one I used was Cynogen 10).
But I can only restore the first AT&T ROM, nothing else will restore. I also cannot even install any ROM the only way I can get a working phone is to go back to the horrible original AT&T ROM..
Clockwork mod recovery also crashes when I try to wipe cache, so think that maybe a clue....
Help!! I don't want to be stuck on AT&T ROM forever.... I miss Android 4.1 features
Thanks

What version of CWM are you on?
You can always restore to your AT&T backup, transfer all of your other backups to your external SD or computer, ODIN to stock, do a complete wipe of the phone, flash the most recent CWM from Sk8 and try again. I'd say that's your best case scenario.

I'm on 6.0.1.4 which I believe is latest. I can't even get the original ROM to restore now either. Ughhhh hope I'm not bricked.

Try Odin back to stock before u do brick it that should fix any problems

[Q] I'm Panicing

Ok I followed the instructions exactly as described, except I failed to do the backup. I went thru all steps(except backup, im an idiot)and installed paranoidandroid 3.68a and it will not boot pass the logo.
I flashed with this cwm-6.0.3.0-i815.tar
My rom was this pa_i815-3.68-20130721a
and then this gapps-jb-20130301-signed
Please can someone help me, this is my kids tablet, and I was just trying to make it better. Thanks
Just go into recovery wipe everything (wipe data,cache,dalvik's cache) and then you will have to go into download mode and flash a stock rom or any custom rom using Odin.

Thank you, got it back. Appreciate your help.

Frustrated! Soft bricked?

I was running LiquidSmooth 2.9. Decided to try the latest KK nightly. Downloaded everything, made a backup, etc. Went to flash and it said (status 7) error. Tried again, same thing. Decided to update to the latest TWRP and try again. Same error. Tried one more time and it worked. After the rom was loaded I immediately noticed that the rom was not stable enough for a daily driver.
Booted into recovery and tried to restore to my previous backup. For whatever ready TWRP could not locate the backup. I tried to move the back up for a while but it wouldn't move to the correct folder. I said screw it I will just download the Liquid Smooth 2.37 which was the latest official release and just reflash. Downloaded everything, then flashed it. Everything set successful, gaps and rom, but now it wont get past the splash screen. I have reflashed like 5 times now all without issue but stuck at splash screen. I can get into recovery fine.
What is my next step to revert back to my previous backup or reflash to a working rom? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem on kk i had to do a factory reset wipe catche dalvik then flash liquid smooth kk pa gapps im working fine. Honestly my own opinion i prefer liquid 2.37 over kk. I read couple post ppl had to get the latest cwm recovery to flash KK roms
Were you able to revert back to 2.37? I'm stuck here in limbo at the moment.

[Q] Change recovery-Rom

HI, i have been having isues with my asus tf101 baterry, about one month ago it suddenly charge and discharges, like: 10%-25%-40%-70%-80%-100%...I made a factory reset but nothing. 2 weeks ago, it solved alone, without do anything, and was ok for 2 weeks, now again i have the problem..
i have installed cwm recovery, i want to change to android revolution rom, to see if the problem finish:
1 question: How i change from cwm to twrp recovery? installing twrp from cwm using a zip? is there no problem?? or downloading goomanager, installing recovery script?? Is there any problem to use cwm or twrp( i have read, to instal kk i dont use cwm)?
2 question, what rom is stable to try to solve this? i see kk 4.3 etc, but i just one my baterry works ok...
3 question, is there any way to clean absolutely the stock rom? i tried wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset(again) but nothing solve.
4 question, is possible to wipe ALL including system, and install the asus stock rom using zip¿?
Thanks for your atention, please be the most specifically possible because i am new on this, and i just one my tablet for study(read books).
I have a asus tf101 b70 root, with CWM recovery is a old version 5.0.26 something..

Q1: I think you can just flash the new recovery via the current recovery if you have the new recover zip file.
Q2: Kat Kiss works fine for me.
Q3: If you want to completely return to stock, you would have to use NVFlash. There are tons of instructions on the Dev thread. I primarily use Tubuntu for flashing with NVFlash. [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995157]
You can find other images as well. I used a stock image once to RMA the tablet but now I'm not sure where I got it. This method will ensure that every bit in your memory is exactly as it left the factory. Including the bootloader, recovery partition and everything else.
Q4: Refer Q3.
Download flashable TWRP 2.6.3.11 zip for TF101:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devd...ct/dl/?id=3280
You should use TWRP for KatKiss ROMs, do not use CWM
Flash that Zip from CWM then reboot fully into your current ROM, then reboot into Recovery to check it has flashed properly
From TWRP you can wipe everything and flash KatKiss & Gapps

Is this the same process for going from TWRP to TWRP? just "install" the newest version from recovery and do the reboots?

Yep, so long as you reboot into your ROM after flashing the new TWRP before booting back into recovery
Thanks for your reply, i will tray soon. So i want to clean the asus stock room to see if battery goes ok, i tried wipe data, cache, dalvik, with cwm, but nothing.
If i install twrp what more options can i try before change the rom? what more wipe do i need?? and finally, if i change the rom, is possible to go back to asus stock just flashing from recovery? or how should i do?
Apart from wiping the ROM (SYSTEM) there's not much else you can wipe, you could try wiping the same as you have already done, but from TWRP, see if that makes any difference, maybe the battery is coming to the end of its life
You can flash stock ASUS ROMs back again from TWRP yes, but you will wipe your recovery & ROM back to 100% stock by doing it
Best thing to do is to make a full Nandroid Backup from TWRP before flashing any custom ROMs, save it to MicroSD Card, then if you want to go back to the way it is now, just restore the backup from TWRP
That way you keep TWRP and can switch between as many ROMs as you like and always have your stock backup to go back to whenever you want
