[Q] howto new boolloader - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
new to this...so probably a stupid question !!!
I'm using a TF300TG with bootloader WW_v10.6.2.10.
On asus site, I see a booloader upgrade WW_v10.6.2.11 which is a zip file
How do I do the upgrade ?
Installing the zip within TWRP or else

I'm not familiar with TF300tg bootloader versions, but I would recommend flashing the new stock via Fastboot so you can confirm it is working to reinstall TWRP.

HI
Thks for yr suggestion
I have discovered another way to solve my problem without the need to reisntall stock rom
you simply need to put the bootloader zip file on top of an external SD.
Boot yr TG and hotplug the SD.
As soon yr SD is detected, there is a notification message saying an update file is sitting there... clicking on it launches the update process....:laugh:
This method works with any firmware update

[Help] My phone can not start after installation of nes firmware.

Hello,
My Sensation can not boot after I installed a new firmware recommanded for ICS installation.
On my sdcard the update zip is present, so when starting with bootloader my phone automatically makes a new installation of the firmware.
How can I repare this?
Please help me!
Thanks
Can I just access the sdcard while I am on bootloader screen?

I presume update.zip is actually PG58IMG.zip ....once you've updated the firmware using the zip file you need to switch off the phone....remove the sdcard....put it in sdcard reader and delete the PG58IMG.zip from the sdcard reader

error 7 - but with CWM recovery

Hi,
I have nexus s 9023 and trying to manually install JB, I get the annoying error 7 (apply_patch_check).
I have STOCK 4.0.4 but the bootloader is unlocked, i have root and a different kernel.
I read a lot of threads about this problem but I understood that having the CWM recovery should prevent the problem,
but unfortunatly I still get it.
Does anybody knows what should I do in order to fix this and get the JB update?
Thanks!

Stuck at ASUS logo

I have unlocked my bootloader using the Asus tool. I was following Step #3 from the link below. Everything went fine as I was able to boot back into stock JB and download SuperSu, apply the update and get root. I downloaded Root Checker and verified that I had root.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845377
I then downloaded CM 10 and ASU JellyBean Hydro R1 and tried to flash each one of them. I always wipe everything before flashing and fix permissions after flashing. When I reboot, it just hangs at the ASUS boot screen. Any ideas? I have tried flashing from both CWM and TWRP with the same results.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
1st if you went to stock JB there is no way of flashing CM10, Skang JB, Blackbean and all other ICs roms.
Only thing you should be able to flash is Hydro JB or stock JB. You have to use the JB recovery from now on. I would recommand TWRP for JB.
If you have this, just follow the instructions in the HydroJB thread. After flashing the Hydro Rom you have to boot into system once. After that you can go back to recovery and flash the Hydro Update.
Thanks for the reply mikaole. I tried flashing the Hydro JB rom and even the stock JB rom from Asus's site. Hydro just stops at the Asus logo after flashing. Stock JB does the same thing, but it displays "md5 mismatch" in red underneath "device is unlocked", then stops at Asus logo. I am going to try to download the stock JB rom again from Asus and see if I just had a bad download. I will try going back to TWRP instead of CWM too. Is there a specific version of TWRP that I should use? I used the one's in step #3 of the thread I referenced in the OP. I appreciate any help or advice.
I was able to flash back to TWRP JB recovery, then download a fresh copy of the stock Asus JB rom, wipe everything, flash the rom, fix permission and reboot and this time it worked. I think the only thing I really did different this time was to fix permissions after flashing.
Thanks again!
work for me! tanks DAVID!!
The same problem
Hi at all, i'm writing from italy so my english is not so good
i've the same problem with my TF300t: i've update my tab to JB with OTA and then unlock the BL with asus apk. then i've rooted my tab and all works fine.
But then i've tried to mount the CM10 rom, and after the installation my tab stuck at bootlogo
i've read to try to install hydro JB or asus stock rom, but my PC now do not read the device (tf300t): so how can i install another rom if my tab can't load nothing via USB?
thanks for the replies, Jacopo

Install Asus Sync. If you already have it installed, uninstall it, reboot and reinstall it.

same problem with you, and I installed dirvers you metioned successfully, but when i used wheelie commond, it said " failed to read data from blob",
maybe because i used tf201's blob, and i can't find tf300 nvflash roms, any ideas?

Did you make a nandroid backup before flashing cm10? If so, just restore from there and you should be able to sync from your pc

Hi !
than you can try to flash blob files into firmware.zip directly in fastboot mode ! ...of course if fastboot command it work ...
what TWRP you use :2.2.1.5 or 2.2.2.0 ? - I use 2.2.2.0 and I can flash asus firmware JB !
...another thing ( I'm not sure 100% ) you must to unzip firmware.zip because is double zipped ! I downloaded the WW SKU.zip unzipped this archive and I get another archive .zip ! so you need to put in sdcard the second archive !
...also if fastboot work , put your device in fastboot mode and > fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob
( where blob~818MB is in firmware asus JB archive ! )

Might have bricked my device :/

Hey,first post on the forums and first problem,today i felt like unlocking my 300tg and i did,it was flawless;unlocked from the asus bootlocker apk,then flashed a twrp recovery from the terminal emulator.Then,i downloaded the hydro rom and put it in my storage,cleaned catches and dalvik and tried to install the zip then it went nuts.First the recovery said "error flasing" ,then i tried flashing some other roms and now the recovery tries to flash it and just restarts.What could be the problem here?
Thanks in advance.

Help, trying to flash via recovery acer a1-830

hello,
Acer iconia a1-830, I'm trying to flash a stock firmware SDs_Acer_AV0K0_A1-830_1.007.00_WW_GEN1.zip
i saw this file for a1-830 acer, it says like this
Firmwares
Flashable via (stock) Recovery
A1-830
SDs_Acer_AV0K0_A1-830_1.007.00_WW_GEN1.zip
SDs Acer_AV0K0_A1-830_RV01RC02_WW_GEN1.zip
SDs_Acer_AV0K0_A1-830_RV01RC05_WW_GEN1.zip
So i downloaded SDs_Acer_AV0K0_A1-830_1.007.00_WW_GEN1.zip,
i assume it's flashable via android system recovery, so copied the file to my microsd card and boot to recovery then only option i know to flash it by "apply update from external storage" then select the file.
it gives me this error installation aborted.. it is trying to find update package.
tried changing file name to update.zip still the same error. i know i'm doing it wrong.
anyone knows how to flash this files to my acer iconia a1-830?
thanks in advance.:laugh:
Then i think the file is corrupted.Try flashing through cwm or twrp recovery

BTW, the reason why i'm flashing stock firmware is because i'm stuck in a bootloop... and hard reset not able to fix it..
i'm still researching on cwm or twrp recovery.

Have you tried TWRP or CWM? If you are searching for TWRP or CWM for acer iconia then http://www.cwm-twrp-recovery.co/2015/08/acer-iconia-a1-830-5930.html
has the both recovery files (the guy rewrite the post from Xda, i cant find the original article to share)and there are few comments on that post.I haven't try because i dont have the device.You may try the guide and replay me if it works thanks.

That site is a joke. I tried to download Lollipop for my a1 830 and the file turned out to be CENTos. It installed fasterweb spyware on my machine after going through the survey process.
