How to Unbrick my soft bricked TF300T - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I purchased a refurbished tf300t, flashed twrp on it, installed cm 10 then cm 11, installed multirom, installed a different blob to install the new version of multirom with twrp, tried flashing omni rom to no avail. I was not thinking correctly as I have never had problems with my previous phones that I could not fix but thus far I have been unable to find a stock rom and a way to flash it such as odin for other phones/tablets. I have downloaded stock zip files to no avail and have found nothing useful as of yet...haven't figured how to flash back to the previous version of twrp as I have been a CWM user until I received this device which supposedly had twrp which couldn't be bricked with. multirom is uninstalled now and I'm trying to figure out how to flash a stock rom and start from scratch again as I have never been an asus tab nor smartphone user previously. I also have a twrp asking for a password as well and I have read that there is a way around that but have not looked into that yet.
Any and All help is appreciated
Thank you.

I can still boot into twrp with no multi rom anymore. unable to flash any working rom thus far and I have no backup to use...so nothing happens except booting into recovery.

[Bootloader] JZO54K Bootloader

Here is the bootloader in a zip that can be flashed over anything.
I recommend flashing this because it fixes the issue where you couldn't boot into recovery from the bootloader.
Download (Mediafire)
Download (Goo.im)
MD5: a8715642fcb0400579dde21b5e4cc673
yeah,finally!!!!
it's my fisrt need in absolute in all my device the fix of the reboot-to-recovery from bootloader's bug...many times away from pc i bootlooped the n7 by my tests,and i had to wait hours to came back home to connect to pc...very good by google!:laugh:
On another side,i think is abolsutely right flash this BL and continue using a 4.1.1 rom instead of new base...right?
EDIT Wow,is very light a bootloader for nexus 7...compared tol for example a gnex one..
Odd...doesn't fix the boot into recovery bug for me. At least with TWRP.
In the german android-hilfe forum someone soft bricked his N7 by flashing this (He got a bootloop and cannot Boot into the CWM anymore).
Can someone confirm that the zips are functional or not?
I downloaded from the meadifure link in his forum on rw, installed it through clockworkmod touch and haven't had any problems. Booting to recovery from the bootloader works fine for me.

Thanks for this, for some reason when I updated to 4.1.2 OTA using CWM everything went fine no errors but it didn't actually update my bootloader which is odd. So I was able to update it using the CWM zip provided. Thanks!
Thanks for this! Flashed without issues.

How would this affect my ability to hide breaching my warranty? Would replacing the bootloader that was shipped with the device give me away, or does an OTA update flash the new one anyway?

[Q] 4.3 Update + TWRP

So I have TWRP installed on my rooted Galaxy S3 (I535), and the 4.3 update just came out and was available to me.
I downloaded it, and tried to install it (I know that it will remove root), and when it finished downloading, it opened the TWRP boot menu.
Does anyone else who uses TWRP know how to install the new update? I couldn't find it and it wouldn't automatically install....

I'd rather not wipe the internal SD card.. Isn't there just a way to install the update without all the hassle? I don't remember doing all this for rooting it... I'm fine with losing the root upon installing the new update as I can just root it again with safe root

Find the. Stock recovery download it and flash through Odin. there are ways to do it through terminal but odin is the fastest to explain. After that you should beable to ota and keep your setup as is. It is odd that you cant ota I had twrp when i took the ota.

You kind of only have 2 options now. Attempt a "dirty" flash of a ROM so you can save your internal SD files then odin or do the full Odin wipe and forget about keeping the files. Either way unless anyone else has a idea you lose your current setup.

So let me get this straight.
There's no way for me to install the update unless I flash to another ROM? I don't see why I can;t just update and lose odin and TWRP or whatever

I found the zip file while browsing TWRP. Can I just install it?

OK I'll explain what I think went bad.when you downloaded the update it was expecting factory stock recovery to finish the install. Since you had twrp it failed. FYI Odin is a program on the PC to communicate with the phone in download mode (Odin mode). try to do a factory reset before you go crazy with my other suggestions. I have a feeling one of the 3 options I gave you are your only options.

Yeah but you already soft bricked it. Any brick you do you should be able to fix. just so you know you backed yourself into a corner. No matter what you do you have a chance of bricking. Its all part of being a power user. If your uncomfortable with that after you are on 4.3 you might not want to root.

Yeah I know there's always the chance of bricking, just wanted to know if that specific thing would do it. I've been into rooting since my Droid 1, Droid 2, and Droid X. But I'm always cautious.
If I do a factory reset and back up all my data, will it get rid of odin and TWRP and everything? Then just install the 4.3 update and root using safe root? Would that work?

You would need to flash stock recovery completely replacing twrp. so if factory reset works and you can boot you should beable to flash stock recovery then redo the ota.

If you have backups of stuff on your internal sd it would be much faster to just Odin to 4.3 right now.

Factory reset deals with the rom. So no it will stay twrp.
---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------
Using Odin is a lot like SBF'ing on the droid x (that was my last phone also). So if you can remember installing cyanogen mod 6 or 7 you probably always did a factory reset before first boot. Custom recovery stays intact the only way to get rid of it was to flash stock recovery with terminal emulator or sbf back to pure stock. Luckily Odin let's us flash the recover by its self so we have more options with Samsung.

Today I check android and it says there was an incremental update, after downloading it I clicked install, the phone rebooted into TeamWin Recovery Project. First in order to install this update must I wipe my phone? I tried to install the update zip file in the /cache but it gave a failure, something to do with md5 file not found and something.
Just to thanks...

I downloaded the actual file provided by Calkulin and not the default updater.
then when you install update / boot recovery install with the zip that you downloaded yourself and it works.
@jake: But why dont you just use the Calkulin's rooted rom? It worked fine for me, putting it into TWRP, first that zip, then the "extra", then SU. Wipe cache/Dalvik.
I hope I have understand well your question, English is not my language..
Ringer volume keep lowering itself do you have this issue or not??
THANKS!
Update work well and the color is back, finally. I'm very happy about that!

RE Question: Can I flash these over cm12 nightly?
Q: Can i Flash this ROM over my CM12/Other Lollipop ROM?
A: Yes youi can, However....
You will need to do a full Wipe!
Also Lollipop comes with a new Radio which bricks/breaks the Proximity sensor
in Android Versions preceding 5.0 meaning....
Any Versions of android before 5.0 is not fully compatible with the radio from Android 5.0+.
Symptom of using the Android 5.0 Radio with previous Versions of Android Results in
the proximity sensor registering as being blocked.
Therefore screen off gestures (V Flashlight, O Camera, < ǁ > Playback Controls) will NOT work.
Also while in a call, your phones display will always turn off, and will not turn on until the call has ended.
Unless you program a hardware button to end the call you will not be able to end calls,
your screen will be unresponsive until the party on the other end of your call has ended the call...
Flashing a rom will NOT change the radio.
you must fastboot flash the radio intended for Android 4.4.4 for this rom.

Only wipe cache/Dalvik. "Install" the rooted rom by TWRP + extras. Update Super SU, wipe cache/Dalvik.
It's done, nothing will be lost and you don't have to upgrade step by step, this is a full rom.

This ROM is awesome. I''m coming from stock CM11S and CM12 nightlies but was very unsatisfied with the functionality of the phone. Random restarts, wifi not working, camera taking odd pictures. Since friday I had no issues, all working fine.

J700P Boot-Loop

Heya. I restored a full backup in TWRP, and I ended up bootlooping. I tried flashing stock firmware, and nothing has changed. I can access downloading mode, and I can flash TWRP and boot into that. Any help? I've tried everything I've came.
I used flashify to get twrp into recovery but it recovery looped and the only way i got out of it was to reflash root with odin. Hope that helps.
Is your device still rooted? I was getting set warranty bit: recovery. It just kept going back to twrp.

I personally just had to reflash stock boot.img in odin when i got my bootloop and all was well
where can i download the stockl firmware for the boost mobile variant. I am in a bootloop here and have tried everything . I need the stock firmware so i can flash it via odin.
Having the same problem!
I rooted, flashed twrp, and Xposed successfully and made a complete backup. I got a little excessive with my debloating, so I tried to restore my nandroid backup with twrp.. Been bootlooped ever since. I tried flashing the stock boot, recovery, and rom with odin. Nothing works. The best result I can get is when I use Odin to flash stock firmware, then flash the chainfire autoroot. If I do that, it still bootloops, but it gets all the way to the "optimizing apps" screen... If I don't flash the autoroot, it loops after the virgin mobile logo. If I try to use stock rom, cf autoroot, and twrp, it goes all crazy at the initial Samsung screen and won't even loop. I've tried every combination I can think of. Maybe has something to do with the initial welcome/activation not being active? I would think the stock rom does have it enabled though.. HELP PLEASE! I have the 2016 variant from Virgin, 6.1.1

Do you have the 2016 Virgin mobile variant? I know the 2015s have different firmware and seem to have no problems unbricking. Just curious

If I don't flash the autoroot, it loops after the virgin mobile logo. If I try to use stock rom, cf autoroot, and twrp, it goes all crazy at the initial Samsung screen and won't even loop. I've tried every combination I can think of. Maybe has something to do with the initial welcome/activation not being active? I would think the stock rom does have it enabled though.. HELP PLEASE! I have the 2016 variant from Virgin, 6.1.1

Do you have the 2016 Virgin mobile variant? I know the 2015s have different firmware and seem to have no problems unbricking. Just curious

You need an adb enabled boot.img and get a logcat on boot to know the reason of this problem

OK. Would the boot.img extracted from the stock rom be adb enabled? I'm on my way to work, so I'll have to wait till I get home to try.

ok, so, every way i try this it isnt working. i flashed twrp so i could do a total wipe. then flashed the stock rom/firmware(J700PVPU1APB7.tar.md5). i flashed the adb-enabled boot.img and tried the logcat, it says waiting on device while the phone bootloops... when i flash cfautoroot and adb boot.img after rom flash, same thing. What am I doing wrong? Device drivers and adb drivers installed 2 weeks ago.
so, i just flashed stock rom:cfautoroot:adb boot.img:stock recovery, and it started to boot properly, ie: android updating apps to android starting, and a bunch of other stuff, then rebooted to bootloop.. farther than ive gotten so far.

Hey messie,
I have somehow switched the variant of my boost j7 when I was rebuilding it with wifi tethering anyways since I did that my phone is on xas which is Australia I believe and it was working fine even on that variant until I put twrp on it and not even the stock boost firmware has fixed it I do have a backup before the variant was changed that was made with FlashFire but the twrp backup FlashFire makes by default doesn't work and all it does it boot loop over and over and sometimes it will say it is optimizing apps sometumes but doesn't ever load it just reboots and repeats the same thing I tried doing a complete wipe in twrp and tried ur debloated firmware which was very similar to the project I was working on as well as a cm port. I can't go any further on my projects until I can get functionality outta the phone again is there maybe a way I could load FlashFire in twrp as I have root and adb working fully or it there other stuff I could do in adb to fix this I even tried Making the csc only for BST instead of XAS but no go it had no effect

Hi
Although a logcat is needed to solve the problem , i believe that this happens because of the kernel security , i think that a permissive kernel is included in this file
http://www.mediafire.com/?u6skqbc4x5bo73p
If it's there flash it and you should have successful boot proces , good luck!

Help Needed Please

Hi everyone, my dad has been using the oneplus one since it came out. he has been mentioning lately the phone is really slow, so i decided to try and root the phone and get a newer OS for him in hope it runs more smooth.
here where the trouble began, so i had to root the phone in order to get a new OS, so i got as far as installing supersu, which came up with a binary error so i went back out to TWRP and flashed a newer version, when i rebooted phone when in to a loop at the cyonegenmod, it just wont load. so i rebooted back in to TWRP and thats when i went stupid and deleted everything ( with out making a backup ).
So I am now stuck with no OS installed, with out an OS i have been able to adb push files to the internal storage for the roms i have down loaded, i try using sideload to install the roms i have downloaded, which has always failed, with the sideload error executing updater zip / xxxxx/ xxxx/ etc.
questions i have
-the error is due to the wrong ROM i have sideloaded? ( what is the stock version? some say 4.4.2 kitkat? some say cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0-bacon-signed-fastboot )
-if i am using adb sideload, which file should i be using? cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0-bacon-signed-fastboot or cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0-bacon-signed ?
- to my understanding ( whihc isnt much ) i just need to find the right stock ROM zip file and sideload it in and it should run again right?
or am i totally wrong and the phone is pretty much dead?
any help would be great
Thanks in advance
I'm replying since no one is. I'm not sure about the error but did you factory reset prior to flashing?
You can restore stock rom using the method in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541.
Other than sideloading, you can use an OTG adapter + thumbdrive. Even in recovery, OTG storage is still detected.
Hopefully you are able to solve your issue.

Also, supersu/superuser is outdated. Magisk is the current way to root now.

Thanks for your reply
yeah i did do a factory reset, i then wiped everything including the system
so i am now stuck with NO OS i believe, i did read that post you linked, but i cant access fastboot mode
all i can access is TWRP, so i can push files in the storage, but when ever i sideload or install the Stock roms and reboot the phone nothing is happening just stuck at the one plus logo
any suggestions from this point??
Thanks in advance
Did you try to boot to fastboot by plugging the usb cable while volume up button is pressed? What android version are you on before you wiped? And what is your current TWRP version.
---------- Post added at 03:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 AM ----------
IMO, since fastboot and adb sideload not working for you, try going the thumbdrive+OTG cable method. Download any Pie or Q rom and open gapps pico and copy them to the thumbdrive. Connect the thumbdrive to your phone using the OTG cable and flashed it in TWRP.
