I am not new to the rooting and flashing new roms I've been doing it since my HTC hero back when I think it was easier. Anyway I have unlocked rooted my tf700t. I have made sure my boot loader is up to car 10.6 as per cyanogen mod wiki and xda searches to install roms. But every time I try to install cyanogen or even crombi-kk it just sits in a boot loop. Can someone please direct me in my path. My recovery is tarp 3.x.
Thanks in advance!

You may want to change your custom Recovery to Kang's TWRP....
You may also want to "Format" your /data partition, NOT "Wipe", before installing the new ROM to see if it works for your device, good lucks.....:fingers-crossed:
Edit: Warning please backup everything before formatting your /data because everything will be gone. Also, please DO NOT interrupt with the formatting process until it is completed and it could take up to more than one hour so plug in your AC charger and let it finishes it jobs. Otherwise, you only ask for troubles.

I was unable to flash recovery, (I did unlock and root from tablet and I also installed twrp through the app and it all checked out dine) I don't have a jab cable only wall charger. But after formatting like you suggested it worked perfect.

I saw that the new CleanROM was using the Aroma installer for both versions of the ROM, so I figured I'd give it a shot. I don't have any experience with Aroma, but it all seemed to be working at first. However, I guess the file may have been corrupt because it just stuck at "Installing ROM" and never finished.. I hit the next button and it said it was finished even though I never got a status update. Stuck at HTC load screen, and will NOT boot into recovery even from the bootloader.
Since I can still load the bootloader, but not recovery, I still have some hope, right?
All I should have to do is run the AT&T RUU, right?
Halp!

Or push twrp recovery and flash again.
Thanks for the responses -- was able to boot into recovery (CWM)... Not sure why it wouldn't work before.
Now it says it cannot mount the sdcard...
doesn't sound good.
Waiting on RUU to finish downloading, then I'll relock and try that.

You should not use cwm, use twrp, CleanROMs op stated that, try pushing twrp, and flashing before you ruu, it causes issues that hasn't been fixes yet.

Can't use clock work. Use team win.
If everybody is saying use TWRP and the person is still using CWM; one has to wonder how intelligent that person is.

This is a known issue with CWM, mount SD simply does not work. Use TWRP like everyone is saying.
Did you try wiping anything in Aroma? Because that is a known issue as well (results in soft bricks). Only wipe in recovery, and use Aroma only for picking the various ROM options (not for wiping anything).
Got it working -- used fastboot to flash TWRP and formatted SD card and now everything is lovely.
I've been flashing CleanROM since the beginning before there was TWRP and never bothered to switch recoveries. I guess I should have read the notes more closely.. oh well, no harm done
thanks for the replies and help
I think I screwed the pooch. I finally took the plunge and Rooted/S-off (with Sunshine) and installed a custom recovery. Issue is, I think I had TWRP installed and then installed Philz_touch_6.43.6-m8. Now, I can't get out of a recovery boot loop. I'm not 100% sure how I managed this but now when I reboot, I'm getting the red text at the bottom stating "this build is for android development purposes only" and boots me into TWRP. If I try to fastboot flash recovery and install the Philz recovery again, it does it's business, boots into Philz and when I go to reboot Philz it reboots into TWRP. Am I hosed? Any help is greatly appreciated. I was hoping by reflashing Philz it would remove the ability to boot into TWRP. This sucks!
Thanks in advance.
I actually just think somehow I hosed the system. I was able to download a custom ROM and get out of this boot loop hell!

I know you fix it...but did you 1st flash twrp via the terminal emulator?
Thanks for the reply guys and sorry I didn't answer sooner. I'm not 100% sure how I did it honestly. First time with an HTC coming off Samsungs.... everything is humming along beautifully and I'm digging the stuff I'm learning from here about these powerful devices. I'm a flashing fool!

I asked bout terminal emulator because twrp has the partitions mapped wrong. So if you do that it will flash to the system one which is what sounded like you did.....I been with HTC forever just a quick tip always fastboot flash if you can as it is the safe way..never use apps or emulator to flash...
OK cool Tigerstown... many thanks for the tip!
Hi Everyone,
Long time silent reader here that is now posting.
I was trying to upgrade from stock to one of the CFW, but ran into an issue. For the first half I was able to load TWRP 2.5. Then I tried loading the 4.4.4-CROMBi-kk and it finished with an error. So I tried wiping a few things and still would not work. Finally, I loaded CWM as I was more familiar with it. I did whatever wipe I can do and now I can't boot any thing other than CWM.
Now I can't load anything. It says it count mount SD card. I tried doing a factory restore and that did not work. No Fastboot available. Just CWM.
Attached is the screenshot of CWM.
Am I out of luck? I definitely will not be drinking and upgrading next time:crying:
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the link. I actually found this thread 2 nights ago and was able to restore the boot loader.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283563
The issue I was I installed the incorrect CWM that was incompatible with the latest boot loader. I followed the mentioned instructions on the 2nd page post#14 and I was able to install the correct version of twrp. Then I was able to install Crombi-KK without any issues.
Everything is working smoothly now.

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

What is your bootloader version ?
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..
Look for the post i just did in tims thread for 4.4.4.. its got the links to the post...
Remember. ..wipe 'misc' as it seems gremlins like to hide in there..
Worked for me...

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..

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.
