unroot my tf300

I brought a transformer tf300 a few days ago that was already rooted and unlocked. I can't get adobe flash to work. I tried side loading a few version of adobe but still no success. Google market says my device is not compatible with adobe. I don't think the rooted device really serves me any purpose so I would like to take it back to factory condition. I need some help doing it since I have never rooted a device before.
It is rooted with
aokp-tf300t-build-38.
Android ver 4.0.4.
Kernel 2.6.39.4 g2bf1397-dirty.
Build IMM761.
Thanks for all your help if you can. I will need step by step instructions, and thanks again for the help

download the latest firmware from the asus site first. http://www.asus.com/Tablet/Transformer_Pad/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/#download
Then install the current software version. You can use the instructions from here to reflash stock rom in post 2

Did you unzip the firmware and flash the zip named "US_epad-user-9.4.3.29"?

yes and CWM says install from sd card complete, no errors. I get the intial boot screen with the blue progress bar then I get stuck at the spash screen with the spinning wheel.
Luckily I had a nandroid of my AOKP setup and can go back to that. Ive tried a few times today to return to stock with the same results.

Remember to full wipe before installation including /system and after clear dalvik and cache then fix permissions.
By not wiping /system can cause some data to be left and corrupt stock installation had this happen on my g2x and have seen it on some other threads.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using XDA Premium HD app

I wiped the cache before I started the install and now when I boot into the usb fastboot my comp flashed a bootloader notification but then nothing else happens. I tried it a second time and I dont even get the notification. Also if I let it boot regular the Asus screen shows when i first boot but then nothing ever comes up just black screen

How can I get root and custom ROMming back?

Hi
At the weekend I tried to update my TF300T from CM10.1 to CM10.2. That didn't work as I ended up in a boot loop. Then I thought, maybe I need to flash the latest system blob.
So I did that, only to find that I then couldn't install anything from zip or sd card as the recovery would not mount anything at all. Still got fastboot, so I've tried TWRP 2.6. TWRP 2.5, TWRP 2.4 and CWM, none of them will mount anything at all.
So I find myself with stock ROM, but no way of rooting or installing any custom ROMs.
I'm sure I've made a bloop somewhere, so all suggestions to resolve welcome!
Thanks
Rob

What is your bootloader? Sometimes, if you reflash the same recovery, it *may* work properly the second time around.
I am using TWRP 2.6 with my 127.5 bootloader, just for your knowledge.

That was the tip I needed - I knew I had the right bootloader but I had downloaded the wrong TWRP (I had flashed the JB version instead of the 4.3 version). Doh!
Now flashed CM10.2 and is running Android 4.3. CPU-Z tells me I'm rooted though at the moment I can't get any root apps to work with SuperSU. I'll leave that for another day!

[Q] Can't change ROM, reboot loop

I can't change my current ROM, I'm running Baked with Android 4.2.2, I had TWRP 2.7.0.0 and now I upgraded to 2.8.0.1 with the same results.
I've tried with several ROMS, I do the steps for each rom carefully, making a backup before doing a full wipe, etc, and after the install, when I reboot, I get stucked on the loading screen, I don't even see the custom ROM logo, just the Asus logo.
After the boot loop, I enter again in recovery and recover the Baked backup, and it works again.
I'm really desperate because the Baked ROM don't run well, is very slugish, so for me an upgrade is mandatory.
I've tried with several custom ROMs, the last one I tried was KatKiss Lollipop.
Any help would be greatly appretiated

Are you doing a full wipe before installing ?
Thx Josh

If you can adb to it then go for a full wipe and try...same thing happened to me going from stock 4.2 to katkiss 4.4.4..

I installed ADB on my pc (win8 x64), and started to do the blob backup mentioned on the first link in your other post, followed all the instrucions, after the "Step 1" in the "Wheelie" menú, the tablet shuts of, as it should, but when I turn it on again, it no longer boots into android, it gets stuck in a boot loop, now I don't have TWRP anymore, I have the FlatLine CWM, so I can't recover the image created with TWRP, so I'm stuck with recovery,
I'm still trying to fix it, I'll try to revert to stock and start from there.
Thanks to the both of you, wish me luck!

Yes, dont worry too much as I was in the same boat.. lost the recovery a few times.. and or couldn't get recovery to mount any partitions..
If you have still got ADB connection then use Busters wipe... multiple times.. as it cleaned mine out..
Then I used the easyflasher to flash the CWM kitkat Version and used this to flash Tims Kitkat off the external SDcard..
booted in to Kitkat with out loading Gapps.. let it settle then booted in to the recovery then booted to Bootloader..
and reflashed TWRP 2.8.. flashed Gapps with this and its all settled in..
One thing that I made sure off was to boot the device after flashing a recovery.. somewhere in all the instructions it says to to this.. So I made sure I did it..
otherwise I kept getting that password screen in TWRP...and if i got that then I knew it was not mounting anything..
K.. keep at it.. if there is will there is a way and as said if you have an unlocked bootloader and ADB you are half way there already..
Good luck..

I accidentally deleted my OS.

While I was attempting to flash CM 13.1 to the phone, it got stuck in a bootloop. Would not get past the white startup/splash screen. So, I booted it into TWRP and attempted to install the recovery I had made using TWRP. It ended up throwing me an error (I don't remember the code.) Anyways, I got the bright idea to completely wipe my phone and retry it. Now TWRP deleted my recovery, and my OS is gone. It was rooted and had SuperSU installed before it got bricked. Any help at all?
Regards,
Cheer

Hi Cheerfulfilms
Next time when you brick your phone, read this thread. I hope you'll be good now.

The Xtreme System ZIP is no longer available.

*update*
I decided to try my own way and it worked very well. Using TWRP I was able to transfer a ROM onto a MicroSD, and then install that ROM from TWRP. It's a lot less complicated than the thread given. The Xtreme stock ROM is running very well though.

Custom ROM Issue... Stuck Booting...

Hey androids, I submitted this question as a reply to the guide thread already earlier... just thought it might get noticed in this forum alittle quicker... any help would be appreciated
I'm working on a recalled tablet that I rooted to keep using, and up until recently the ROM i had installed on it worked famously (bliss pop with android 5.1.1). Now, I was having some issues with it and thought "Well, i'll try out a different rom!"
So, I already had root (obviously) and I had already successfully installed a rom to this tablet... Using TWRP (both the 2.8.x.x I used previously and the newest one available for the shield) I have backed up, wiped, and flashed the images to 3 different roms + gapps for the appropriate versions...
first, I was going an issue with it mounting the \data partition so it wouldn't flash anything... then I repaired and rewiped the partitions, and got (what appeared to me in the logs) a clean and successful install of the roms. Each time I successfully flashed a ROM and GAPPs zips I would go to boot the ROM and my table would sit on the "NVIDIA" boot screen forever, never advancing to boot the ROMs.
I was worried that I had made a mistake and bricked the thing (though, it's been on borrowed time anyways being a recalled tablet). But I was able to force shutdown the tablet and reboot it into TWRP for another try. Each time I cleared the previous flash, wiped the cache and system partitions, and would get another clean install... but each time, it would get stuck on that same boot screen....
Anyone have any suggestions? thoughts? ideas? fixes? answers?.... anything? lol
Thanks folks!

Assuming you are trying to flash MM custom roms: You need the MM bootloader.

Is the newest TWRP *not* a MM bootloader?

TWRP is a recovery. A bootloader is a bootloader.

This is covered in every rom thread that updated from L to M.

I'll re-look, the guides i've read have only covered flashing TWRP, then using them to flash the ROM and GAPPs... Which is what I did the first time I rooted it and put on a custom ROM... though maybe I didn't delete the original bootloader the first time and did so accidentally this time?

Thanks for the heads up though people, we'll see if I can straighten it out now that I know what I'm looking for

Ok, so I've downloaded the shield recovery zip, flashed the boot.img to the boot... nothing, then I read on one of the guides here that the "blob.img" is the bootloader... but the zip has a blob, without the .img
So I then attempted to add .img, and flash it to "boot" in TWRP, and there was an error, saying the file is too large...
do you (or someone else) know where to find a guide on where to find/how to flash a MM bootloader?
thanks

Ok, so I found guide with links to the latest firmware update; I flashed it, rebooted, and now I've gotta past the "Nvidia" boot screen into the Bliss boot screen... It's been here for a couple minutes now, gonna give it alittle bit and then try to install the other ROM I had tried.
