Hi ppl!
First, my device failed to get the OTA Update because I deleted some system apps (see my original post).
Then I found this post where another user restored original APKs in /system/apps and managed to manually update to JB by downloading the dlpkgfile in this post.
So I proceed, restored my /system/apps (with 755 permissions), rooted with OTA RootKeeper and SuperSU, placed the dlpkgfile and command files, restarted to fastboot (Power+Vol Down) and entered Recovery mode.
The green android with the blue progress bar went for over 10 minutes, then ... the android with the RED TRIANGLE appeared
After a minute or so the device restarted, an ASUS logo with a blue progress bar ran, but then it got stuck in the ASUS logo.
I'm still able to restart to fastboot (Power+Vol Down), where a message appears:
Code:
Android cardhu-user bootloader (1.00 e) released by "US_epad-10.4.2.9-20120809" A03
, and where I have 4 choices:
1. RCK: Recovery mode, when I select this the Red Triangle appears again.
2. Android: Normal android boot, gets freeze right away
3. Fastboot USB download protocol: Tried using ADB, but don't really know what it is. Here's an image of how the device appear in my Windows PC
4. Wipe Data: Already done this, seems to wipe user data, but still gets stuck on ASUS logo
Some pictures I took of my device: http://imgur.com/I13ou http://imgur.com/Jezpn
I also tried downloading .30 firmware from ASUS website and placing the Zip contents in my SD card, then booting recovery but no luck.
It's pretty awful that everything went so bad, I'm hoping there is a solution.
Anything would be really appreciated!!!
Thanks!

OK, I found this tutorial about flashing ASUS firmware with fastboot: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-restore-asus-transformer-tf300t-back-to-stock/
The problem is that the following commands:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system US_epad-user-9.4.3.30.zip
both produce the error: "Signature mismatch"
I guess it's becaus my fastboot is newer version, since it was actually installed during the JB update, but I'm trying to flash a older .30 firmware.
I gues I will have to wait ASUS releases the new firmware for manual flashing it.
Just guessing...

Thank you for posting this. I wanted to try something like this with the new boot loader that came with jb but it appears flashing the older firmware will not work.

That is exactly what I'm wanting to know if it's even possible. If I can safely downgrade, I can re-root, but I'm limited on what I can do with a locked bootloader.

I tried to do manual update in cwm and when I rebooted with adb all I have is asus boot logo, it also does not say I have an unlocked bootloader,
I have no fastboot no recovery no adb connect all I have is asus boot logo.......volume+-power does nothing vol down + power also does nothing.
how do you flash new firmware without adb or any type of recovery?

please need help on this!!
AFAIK you should still have access to fastboot, I'm newbie and never messed up by unlocking the bootloader
It worked!
Thank you so much! I had this same problem with mine and couldn't find an answer anywhere until I found your post.
hmm, I lost my tablet for nearly a month then updated CM10 when prompted having connected to my new wireless. This of course (since the Oct update) put the ROM out of kilter with the bootloader. I didn't have an old ROM on the SDCARD, and old CWM so I couldn't mount an external to get a rom on. I tried pushing a rom to the SD with adb but the drivers weren't going in right and I just couldn't get any joy. I followed this thread to fastboot the current stock JB on in the hope that it would give me a fresh start but it's hanging now at the second (glossy) ASUS logo. I really don't know where to go from here. Is it possible there was a problem with the write?

Can you tell me how you erased memory from boot menu - or maybe i understand this in different way.
I have only bootloop and it boots to CWM where i cannot mount any SD card - not internal not external.
Also Vol down + power doesnt work - there is no option to enter fastboot mode....device just bootloops and then enters CWM...
Tried to push through adb but there is no SD card to copy files. Tried different methods but cannot mount any storage...
Thanks JB update

My fastboot is working but it seems that i cannot write anything on my internal sd card.. When i run fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
My PC shows no erros - it does all the steps. But my tablet freezes and that it - it never unfreezes, i need to power it off.
But fastboot and abd commands work - like reboot or boot into bootloader.

Any help appreciated
Update: tried twrp 2.4.3.0 does the same thing
The new update has encryption by default. That's why you can't mount anything. I am not sure if team win will release an update for their recovery or if Asus needs to do it. Seems like this update really screwed over some people.

twrp I think might support that sort of thing already, i went back into twrp2 and it does ask for a password at first, a check of the logs by twrp said can't decrypt
Who ever set the encryption, needs to show how to unset it.
I'm having the same issue that tonyjsan described.
This was I did:
1 - I updated to 4.2.1 via OTA.
2 - Download Asus unlock apk & unlocked the boot loader.
3 - Then installed the CWM 6.0.2.3 via fast boot.
4 - Tried to installed CM10.1 nightly couldn't acess SD started to get the following:
can't mount /cache/recovery/command
can't mount /cache/recovery/log
can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
can't mount /cache/recovery/.
when trying to access internal or external sd card get:
can't mount /sdcare/
can't mount /emmc/
Now it's the point where I got stupid, and decided to go into the bootloader and do a full wipe, which I THINK wiped everything and installed the recovery Kernel (which now is CWM) into the main image.
Now my TF300T only boot to CWM and I can acess it via ADB do thing like push files, but i've lost the boot loader and cannot go into fastboot.
Really need the expertise of a guru right now
Help is appreciated
Getting Same Issues
Both the latest TWRP2 and latest CWM are a bust for me too.
If the recovery kernel image can't get at the disk partitions - then no custom ROMS
can be installed.
I guess being the first non-nexus with 4.2.1 isn't such great news after all.

Same Here
I've run into the same thing. I did the OTA update to 4.2.1, and then I decided to root, so I followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2041627.
Unlocked worked.
Recovery Flash worked.
Mounting any part of the sdcard (internal or external) does not work in recovery.
I can still boot into the OS, so I'm not bricked, but I can't install root because I can't see the internal storage to flash it.
Is it possible to flash back to 4.1.1?
Yes, but your recovery must be working.

as sad as it seems :'( you are more than likely bricked. Every thread I read, even on 4.1 stock, once you do the "wipe all" option in bootloader menu, without a stock recovery. You become bricked.

When you said wipe, you used the wipe data option, when sitting at the first menu (boot loader menu) after pressing power and vol down ?
One other thing I'd share here to is that the factory wipe, from within settings, for me does not work, it boots to twrp / recovery, when I exit all data still there. So was wondering which one you used ?
Is the encryption on the partitions from sbk nvflash crap (i'm thinking not ??) or just an encrypted ext4 partition ??

If I drop back to 4.1.1 will I have the same problem with not being able to access cache, data etc. in twrp or cwm, will it be encrypted ?
I'm also wondering dropping back to 4.1.1 will the 4.2.1 multi-user stuff mess with the downgrade, appears to be using sym links to create separate directory for each user.

Hello I have 4.1.1 It is unlocked. I have flashed the CWM and when I boot into recovery I only see the sd card and will not let me rrot via the zip either. I get an error in CWM saying that root persmissions need to be fixed. I have tried to fix then not to fix. Still nothing.
Not sure if this is inline with what everyone else is seeing.
ASUS did push from .17 to .20 the other day.
This is a fishing trip. 4.2 is multi-user, for multi-user to work the tablet has to be encrypted or users could access each others space. I don't have 4.2 so I can't test. If multi-user is deactivated encryption is not necessary. If multi-user is turned off can you find a setting to unencrypt?
It seems I remember someone unencrypting with twrp or fastboot but it took three tries, multi-user would still need to be off. This is not a suggestion just my thoughts.
My version of fastboot does not list unencrypt as an option.
Holy cow I now have cm 10.1, root, and hdmi out problem fixed. After lots digging to be sure I did not screw the tablet up here is what I did.
1) Downgrade to US_10.4.2.20, using fastboot and blob from asus web site.
2) after rebooting I had the previous boot-loader screen (in which usb icon shows), I re-installed recovery twrp2.
3) I did not even bother to boot into 10.4.2.20, went straight to recovery and I had access to cache, data, sdcard etc...
4) adb pushed the cm 10.1 zip to the sdcard and the gapps zip as well.
5) flash cm 10.1 then gapps
6) reboot and all is well.
There is one word of caution, not sure what happen but do not use the usb port on the keyboard dock with cm 10.1, it zapped a usb jump drive and a 500 gb portable drive , still looking into if I can recovery the drive and what caused it.
I's so glad I'm on CM 10.1 tablet running faster just seems to perform better.
I have also had this issue and managed to come back from it.
In doing some testing of the new ota update 4.2.1 (10.6.1.8) I have found that this issue is a direct result of the new 4.2.1 bootloader, it will not work with any custom recovery. twrp will give password prompt and be unable to mount anything but possible system, same goes for cwm minus the password prompt.
After doing a full wipe from twrp and then flashing just the new 4.2.1 bootloader, I rebooted back into twrp and it's encrypted, can't mount anything.
This method will not work if you cannot flash from fastboot successfully. In fact if you have attempted any other way to fix it may not work.
After I rebooted twrp to find it was encrypted the first thing I did was to reboot into fastboot mode and did the following:
flashed the 4.2.1 stock recovery, I have uploaded to here
Copy the "stock.blob" file to your android-sdk\platform-tools folder.
Also download the "US_epaduser_10_4_2_20_UpdateLauncher.zip" from the Asus website and unzip,
In the unzipped folder you will then have another zip file "US_epad-user-10.4.2.20.zip" unzip this also and now in that unzipped folder you will have a "blob" file, copy this to your android-sdk\platform-tools folder.
Boot into fastboot and check your pc can see your device:
open a command prompt and cd to your platform-tools directory.
Code:
fastboot devices
This should return your device serial, if not then fastboot is not setup correctly.
Next:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery stock.blob
fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot
Boot back into fastboot:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash system blob
fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot
The system blob will take some time 10min or so to flash, so just give it some time then issue the reboot command.
Also first reboot after system blob flash will take some time, you will see a progress bar under the Asus logo.
Once your tablet has fully loaded you can now boot back into fastboot and flash a custom recovery & flash custom rom again.
I do suggest skipping the 4.2.1 update for now until this issue has been fixed.
As I have said this may not work for everyone depending on if you have attempted any other commands via fastboot or adb.
This has worked for me twice now but try at own risk.

Question: You said you reflashed the stock bootloader. I had gotten my tf300 couple days ago but went through the ota update not thinking of issues if wanted to root so I'm not rooted totally stock on 4.2.1but if possible would like to flash back to stock locked bootloader if possible. After reading all the issues with trying to flash custom recovery and root after ota figured I'd just wait till some of the issues are figured out. I'm new to this device but have rooted many other android phones in the passed so not a total noob just learning about this one been reading alot. Just wondering if there were a way to do so for future updates as i read you lose ota capability if unlocked. Thanks

This approach recovered the tablet.
As long as the bootloader is working - it is probably fixable.
Here is how I got it to work:
-preloaded my ROM and Gapps on the SD card
-flashed stock system blob (for the right region) from the ASUS website
-let the stock ROM reboot
-it hangs - but will be visible from ADB
-reboot to fastboot
-install TWRP or CWM from fastboot
-reboot recovery
-then flash ROM + Gapps
There has to be something in the new OTA bootloader or OTA system that
locks down the partitions.

Yea should of mentioned im not rooted haven't done that yet as if you are on the 4.2.1 ota you can't without issues. Device works fine I'm on stock recovery and firmware but just an unlocked bootloader and just little worried because some have mention can lose any future ota's if thats not the case than i guess no issue at all but not sure on that and was just looking for a way to either relock the bootloader or reflash it. Probably isn't at the moment but some have been asking about this because of issues with the ota.

ies it is, but i was trying to flash the twrp 4.2 patch with no luck.
now i'm trying to unpack the bootloade.bin from official firmawre TF300T-WW_epad-user-10_6_1_8 to flash the bootloader.bin with :
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash bootloader bootloader.bin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
will this help?
i know the bootloade.bin is in that file blob.EBT --- can i unpach the bin file or simply rename the file blob.EBT to bootloader.bin??
thanks

imho that won't be successfull. I suggest you start from scratch and flash stock then boot into it then flash recovery and then custom rom
see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179759 (post 12)
Now my device stuck on asus logo...
Now I have direct access to fastboot (with power+volume down) no needed the adb command: adb reboot bootloader
I can flash the firmware blob, recovery, but unsuccessful
Now, if a go to bootloader and select the rck icon or android icon i get that message: Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x00000000).
How to fix this?
Thanks

I obviously did something wrong.
Well I did unlock my tablet and got twrp running, also installed the rom but next after the reboot it just doesn't work and i will get this message (see the picture)
After that i am sent back to the interface of twrp.
I just recogniced I have twrp v.2.6.1.0 running - is that the problem?
Hopefully somebody can help me!

YOU MUST BE ON THE ASUS STOCK JB 4.2.1 BOOTLOADER VERSION 10.6.1.14.x AND TWRP 2.6.3.2+ OR CWM 6.0.4.6+ BEFORE FLASHING THIS ROM.
This is copied directly from the Developers ROM.

You didn't use 'Wipe Data' from the bootloader, did you?
Read the OP for CROMBI-KK, compare it to what you did.
Describe in detail what that was.
"Does not work" is not very helpful...
Check if you can get into fastboot.

Well,
I can go to Twrp recovery and fastboot
I did install the rom with everything present I think.. had to select some things and finish the installing
after that I had to reboot and now i just get the image with the penguins.
Can I somehow go back to the original rom? to restart these things?

If you made a nandroid before flashing this, then yes, you should be able to restore it.
But let's take it from the beginning. Post your bootloader, recovery and rom versions.
As long as you have access to fastboot you can fix this, so don't do anything hasty.
And please be as specific as you can about what you did. We can only help you if we find out where you went wrong.

hm ok I will try
well, I didn't make a nandroid backup - my fault :<
are there specific bootloader? I was on JB 4.2.1
I am now on twrp v2.6.3.2 but I was while I did the flashing on twrp v2.6.1
hm I did flash crombi-kk rom from the OP
maybe I did some wipe before in twrp .. i think it was recommended?
so now I can't do any reflash or anything in twrp - everytime I want to do something there is this error:
E: Unable to open '/cache/recovery/.version'
I also can't get access to my external SD
Check if you can get into fastbot.
Long press Power and Volume Down until you see tiny script.
Read it and post the bootloader version: 10.6.1.14.?

All right, your bootloader is current.
I would recommend that you flash TWRP 2.7 in fastboot, then boot into it, do a Factory Wipe in TWRP (that can take upwards of 60 minutes) and flash the rom again.
Ok.. I tried but I got the answer
failed (data transfer failure (too many links))
hm I think I've got no connection, right?
well and now I get the message:
FAILED ( command write failed( invalid argument))
What do you get with 'fastboot devices'?

Alright, everything good so far.
Now download the TWRP 2.7 blob for the tf700 and put it into the same folder as your fastboot.exe.
Then issue this command:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
if that is successful
Code:
fastboot reboot
Then boot into TWRP via the fastboot menu.
Then you can factory wipe and flash the rom

Well I did that but nothing works
I've got now twrp 2.7 and i did that factory wipe but nothing ever happens.. just the usual message
'unable to open 'cache/recovery/.version'
Don't know what I did wrong :<
http://imageshack.com/a/img842/662/kwy9.png
that's the message I everytime get - doesn't matter if it's a wipe or install or something else
in bootlooder at the top there is this message:
>key driver not found... booting 05<
is it possible to formate my complete data, because I think therein lies the problem, exept fastboot on my device and flash a recovery from fastboot?

If you want to try that, go to the Wipe menu in TWRP, then to Advanced and choose "format data".
In TWRP this can take 90 minutes! D not interrupt it and make sure the tablet is charged or connected to power.
But this will erase your entire data.
The recovery has it's own partition which you can erase in fastboot:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
.
Then flash the new recovery. You could also try TWRP 2.6.3.2 if 2.7 doesn't work.

Your posted image indicates that simulation mode is active in TWRP - turn if off in TWRP settings.
To format data, it's approximately this: Wipe -> Advanced -> Format -> Data -> confirm
Note that it takes up to 2 hours to format and trim the eMMC.

...which is usually a stupid idea if you don't know exactly what you are doing.
Well I don't know how but it suddenly worked.. i could reinstall the rom but now it seems i am stuck in a bootloop between the picture of the four penguins and a bootscreen of crombi-kk with loading tiles under it
between these two the tablet is rebooting itself constantly
Go back to recovery and do a wipe only Calvin cache and Cache.

I have an unlocked and rooted tf700 that I have loaded with CM11. I am currently on bootloader 10.6.1.14.8 and using CWM 6.0.4.7.
I would like to install the newly released SlimKat ROM for the device, but it requires the most up to date bootloader, 10.6.1.14.10. I can't figure out how to update my device.
I tried the guide here, but that appears to only work if you are on stock. I also tried the zip package in this post that includes the bootloader and TWRP, but I get an "assert" error from CWM when trying to install the zip.
Can anyone please point me to a guide on how to update the bootloader to 10.6.1.14.10 on this tablet with a custom ROM loaded?

BACKUP EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KEEP INCLUDING YOUR PERSONAL STUFFS...
1.Go to Asus support website and download the correct SKU for you device
2. Extract it once and it should be another zip file
3. Go to CWM and install the second zip file
4. You should have the latest bootloader that you just downloaded but you need to use fastboot to install your custom recovery again, good luck...:fingers-crossed:

Sorry, should have mentioned that I tried that as well. I get an assert failed, Status 7 error when I try installing the zip from the Asus website.

Been working on this for a few days now and I'm stuck. I've never used fastboot before.
I'm on Ubuntu 14.04, so I installed fastboot via:
Code:
sudo aptitude install android-tools-fastboot
I moved the blob to /usr/bin (directory where fastboot lives) and do
Code:
fastboot devices
Result is

Don't worry 14.8 is the same as 14.10 so you don't need to upgrade

You may want to go to the Asus setting and select the "developer options". Enable the "USB debugging" and try the fastboot again, good luck..:fingers-crossed:

If you're root that should work, but you shouldn't do this. Putting non-programs in /usr/bin the wrong thing to do, and you should normally not work as root either. Instead you should have your udev rules set up so you can access your device with your normal user account. Your files should be somewhere in your home directory. If you don't specify a path for your blob in the fastboot command line, your blob must be in the *current* directory.
But if you do work as root (dangerous as it is), you can avoid setting udev rules. Your blob must still be in your current directory, not in the directory where fastboot is. Or you specify the path to your blob, e.g. "fastboot flash system ~/tf700/blob" (or wherever you put it).
