Asus TF300T - boot loop - device unlocked - can boot recovery Kang Twrp - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I updated to the latest version of KatKiss, did a wipe first (from Kang TWRP), everything seemed fine the tablet booted and everything was working. I powered off the tablet and went on with my day, when I turned it on again it's in a boot loop. I get the ASUS-logo (at least one time I also got the KatKiss-logo), it tries to boot and it returns to the ASUS-logo. I tried to do a wipe in recovery (Kang TWRP) but it doesn't complete, after around 30 seconds it jumps automatically to the ASUS-logo and tries to boot again.
Any solution greatly appreciated.

Please try to get into "Fastboot Protocol" by holding the button volume down at the time before the boot loop starts newly again. Three icons will appear. The first one, RCK; is blinking. Press volume up and your TWRP should start. Hopefully you have Kang TWRP. If so you may install rom, gapps and SuperSU again by following exactly the install instruction by Timduru here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tra...t/rom-t3453702.
(Don't forget to do "Format Data" through Kang TWRP as first of all. It takes up to one hour. Be patient and let it run.)
I'm sorry, but if you are really not able to boot into either fastboot or recovery the tablet is bricked for good!

Thank you for advice.
The tablet is up and running again. I wasen't able to boot into Kang TWRP, but I was able to use fastboot. I ran a lot of erase commands that I found in a guide, erase boot, erase recovery, erase userdata etc., afterwards I flashed stock rom. It still wouldn't boot, but I installed Kang TWRP with fastboot and I was able to use TWRP again so I was able to flash a custom rom and it booted up again.

Congratulations! You did a good job. Seems as if you did the well known "Buster99 Solution" successfully in order to get back on stock rom. Keep it in your mind for ever. It may be also helpfully in other cases of trouble.

odd loop.

Randomly my tablet started doing the boot loop. It would show the Asus Logo, then the Kattkiss logo and it will go to a screen saying optimizing apps. It would go through and optimize all 1-75 then reboot and start the process again. I unhooked the dock and allowed it to do this until the battery was completely dead. Next day same thing. This tablet has been unchanged OS wise for about 2 years. only used for youtube videos. Super odd that it randomly broke.
It does have a good TWRP version installed v2.8.7.0. So I tried flashing the 7.1 rom, su, gapps and wiped cache/dalvik. Did not correct it. So then did factory reset. Still no go. Now i am doing a full wipe / format. After format i will reinstall katkiss 7.1, su, and gapps. Hopefully i get back to normal after that.
Absolutely no idea what spurred this or what caused the break. Has been completely normal for a very long time. Weird.
Anybody else see anything like this?

I don't think so. In order to get this Rom installed on your devise you need Kang TWRP as advised by @timduru https://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/development/recovery-twrp-t3046479.

Infinity bootlooping, seems unfixable

First off, let me start out by saying that the Infinity is running on what is possibly the worst software ever designed. Props, Asus. You've made my life hell until the last second.
So, here's my problem. The tablet was working fine 24 hours ago. I turned it off last night, turned it on this morning, working great on CROMi-Xeno (which is awesome, it actually makes the tablet bearable.) and played on it for a while before turning off again. While playing it, I noticed it lag a little more than usual, so I decided to cold boot it. Booted bootloader, hit cold boot, and.... bootlooping. Awesome. No biggie, I'll just restore a backup. I waited for it to restore, and when it was finished, wiped cache and Dalvik, and.... bootlooping again. I tried wiping system and data. Still bootlooping. I downloaded Asus 's official firmware from their website, and flashed. Bootlooping. Someone help me fix this and get it back to stock firmware, so I can sell it and be done with it once and for all. I will never buy another Asus product again.

I'm wondering if my version of TWRP is too old or something. Can anyone explain in detail how to update to a newer version of TWRP or install CWM in order for flashing to fully work?

what version do you currently have, just download the .blob from twrp's site boot into fastboot and run "fastboot flash recovery *name of blob*.blob"

Yeah - I'm also wondering what bootloader you are running with it.
If you are not current on either flash the bootloader/TWRP package from CROMi-X OP, boot back into system, let it bootloop if it does, boot back into TWRP and reflash the rom.
That seems like it would be the only explanation, but now it won't even boot into recovery. I can get it into fastboot, but as soon as I select recovery image it shows the firmware upgrade symbol and then immediately shows the Android Error symbol, and sticks there until I hard power down. When I'm in fastboot, here's what I'm gonna do:
1. connect fastbooted Infinity to pc with all necessary drivers installed
2. download filename.blob from TWRP's website for the Infinity
3. on command console enter -fastboot flash recovery filename.blob- and it will push the recovery through fastboot hopefully
Is that correct? I'm under the impression that as long as I can get to the fastboot menu, ANYTHING is repairable.

The command is
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery filename.blob
Since you can boot into the bootloader, check the version# and make sure you flash a compatible recovery.
Most of the time, as long as you can get into the BL, it's fixable. But to make it unbrickable you need nvFlash. And that's just become possible for or tablet on JB. May be a project for once you got this problem fixed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455925
I suspect you need to format data to fix the issues (you'll lose everything on the internal sd card) but before you do follow bernd's recommendation and get TWRP on there (you wiped it out when you flashed ASUS stock) and then use the file explorer in TWRP to copy anything important to an external SD and make sure the cromi-x rom is on sd too. Then format data from the wipe menu and reinstall. You'll be back to normal in no time. :good:
BTW You may have got some corruption from turning f-sync off.

I tried wiping internal before recovery was lost and it didn't work. I suspected that some problems arose from turning fsync off too. I'm pushing TWRP 2.6 to the Infinity now, will try flashing your excellent rom again and see if it takes without bootlooping.

You need to specifically format data in twrp not just wipe data. Only formatting will restore the device now once data corruption has occurred.

[Q] Only fastboot accessible to flash / restore my TF700

Hello,
My TF700 was on a CleanRom (2.3 i think), for a while, i decided to update.
- I installed the latest CWM (via fastboot) and flashed a Cyanogen 10.2 "stable", but my tablet freezed very quickly after successful boot, i tried some reboots and get same problem.
- I tried to install a stock ODEX root ROM, the tablet freezed at asus logo
- I flashed TWRP instead of CWM, it doesn't helped
- I tried wipe data and cache with TWRP, then my data was not accessible anymore and TWRP was unable to re-create it
- I searched on forums and found on this one that flash a boot.blob file can solve the problem
- It doesn't and now CWM and TWRP refuse to work ....
So i post here before getting my tablet completely brick.
At this point, i get access to fastboot / abd, CWM load but don't work (reboot when trying to do something), TWRP don't load.
Any suggestion to get back to a Stock ODEX rooted rom ?
Excuse my english ...

Sounds like you are on an old bootloader. Flash the stock rom from asus by unzipping the zip you download from their website and placing in the root folder of your micro sd and then go into rck from the bootloader menu (power + volume down whilst booting)
Or you could just flash it from recovery....
lj50036 helped me to flash a new bootloader, recovery, rom and nvflash to make it unbrickable
Not just helped he spent many times to explain me how it works and what he did.
He is very nice and this was a pleasure to talk with him, i'm happy that there's still person like that on this planet
see you !

I buy a tf700 with cm 11 a few days ago i am really interessted on how this steps works. I really want to make it unbrickeable, But i dont really understand how it works. I can not enter in fastboot. at least i got cwm interface when rebooting with adb into recovery.
Can u explain how you did it?
It invovles flashing a modified bootloader and the flatline recovery and then using Wheelie to generate your nvflash blobs.

Stuck in boot loop, fastboot and recovery accessible
Hello,
I'm having a similar issue and I need help! Initially my tablet was rooted with Cromi-X 5.4. Then I decided to try Crombi-KK.
Here is what happened:
- Updated TWRP recovery
- Did a full wipe as recommended
- Flashing got stuck at the Crombi-KK loading sign
- Tried to reflash but TWRP wasn't detecting data partition anymore
- Instead installed the other recommended recovery CWMR.
- Flashed Crombi-KK, it worked. Played around with it for a few days, it was wonderful, fast and responsive.
- Battery died out and when I turned it back on I got a UIDs system inconsistent error.
- I found online many recommendations to reflash so I tried to do that
- Since then I'm stuck in a boot loop. I see the initial "bios" Asus logo then it restarts over and over.
- I am able to access bootloader and recovery
I've tried reflashing the asus stock blob. I've tried wiping the data through CWMR but it starts working and then it restarts. I don't know what to do anymore, so if anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks
Which recovery and bootloader version do you have now?
A (for KK) outdated bootloader seems the most likely culprit.
You can try save the recovery log when you flash or grab a logcat of the bootloop, but probably it'll only tell you that the recovery cannot mount /data.
Determine that you are on the correct bootloader, if not update it. If you're lucky the tablet will start right up. If it doesn't, formatting /data is the only way I know to get it back. Not just wiping - formatting it. You will loose everything on internal SD, so I hope you have a nandroid you can restore from later.
If you use TWRP 2.7+ be aware that formatting can take more than an hour. Let it finish!
For good measure, download CROMBi-KK again, check the md5 and then flash that file.
I'm on 10.6.1.14.10 bootloader which I think is the latest one
I have 6.0.4.7 CWMR
I'm trying to format data completely but when i do it in CWMR it starts and then the tablet reboots on it's own after a couple of minutes.
How can I retrieve the logs, I never had to do it before.
Thanks for your help
Mhh, getting a little more complicated.
Your BL is ok...
What do you see in CWM when you go into Mounts and Storage? What is mounted?
The recovery logs are under Advanced > show logs.
I'm at work now but from what I remember the only thing mounted was the cache. I'll double check tonight. Do you think there's any hope or I have a brand new paper weight?

Can you fastboot flash twrp?
It's much much better than CWM, has its own terminal and will be easier to offer the correct format command.

So I flashed TWRP and when I go in mount/storage everything is selected except for system. Should I do a format data from the wipe menu before flashing crombi-kk again?

To be in the safe side, yes, that is what I would do. TWTRP 2.7.+ takes a long time to format and it may seem the process got stuck. Give it at least 90 minutes to finish.
Then reflash CROMBi
I'm back up and running !!!
This time installing TWRP, everything was mounted (maybe my previous flash before CWMR wasn't good), did a format data, waited until it was done, flashed latest Crombi-KK and going through setup now. Hopefully won't have the same UID issue on next shutdown. I didn't enable fsync or journaling so hopefully it won't happen again.
Thanks both of you for your help!
Good deal! Happy for you!

[Q] Can't get into recovery, can't flash new recovery

Ok, so I have an MZ601. Flashed with R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3_BigPart_selinux and omni-4.4.2-20140321-1754+0100-everest-HOMEMADE (updated with latest omni versions as they became available).
Everything been working fine until two days ago, when Xoom froze. It had happened before a couple of times and a reboot had solved the problem. Did that, and this time it got stuck in a bootloop, only getting as far as the Omni splash screen before rebooting. Few reboots later, nothing improving, and then it didn’t get past the Motorola M splash screen.
Tried booting into recovery, frozen at teamwin splashscreen. Nothing was working. Rebooted few time, same thing. Connected to power, charged til green, left for extra 30 minutes, tried again, same problem. Switched off. Came back to it today and....
All of the following done via Fastboot:
Tried flashing non bigpart TWRP (R.A.H._TWRPv2.6.3), still stuck at teamwin splash screen. Flashed Clockwork recovery, booted into recovery fine, but couldn’t see memory card. Flashed Clockwork recovery touch version, same problem. Flashed back to TWRP non bigpart, and it booted into recovery fine, sdcard mounted fine, seeing all files. Excellent. Decided to reflash bigpart version, used reboot option in TWRP, it tells me there is NO OS INSTALLED.
Ok, that’s a bit odd. Must be corrupted or something, but might explain the original freeze and bootloop and then not even getting to Omni splash screen. Swiped to reboot. Flashed bigpart version of TWRP. Rebooted into recovery. Back to original problem, stuck at teamwin splash screen. Left it for 10 minutes just to be sure. No joy.
Tried retracing steps, flashing Clockwork recovery. Reboot. Teamwin splash screen. WTF? Try flashing Rogue recovery. Reboot. Teamwin splash screen.
Kinda confused. It’s like it’s telling me it’s successfully flashed but it hasn’t actually done anything. Power everything down, disconnect everything. Start again. Flash Clockwork recovery, reboot, displays teamwin splash screen, sticks. Flash TWRP, non bigpart, displays teamwin splash screen, sticks. Reboot. Flash TWRP bigpart. Reboot, displays teamwin splash screen, sticks.
Walk away in disgust so as not to throw something at Xoom.
Ok, TL-DR recap.
Worked fine for months
Two days ago, froze on Omnirom logo, got stuck in bootloop
After few reboots didn’t even make it to Omnirom logo, stuck on M screen
Flashed TWRP recovery, non bigpart, stuck at teamwin splash screen
Flashed Clockwork recovery, got into recovery, no SDcard
Flashed Clockwork recovery, touch version, same problem
Flashed TWRP non bigpart, got into recovery, could see SDcard and files, rebooted from within recovery to flash bigpart version, tells me NO OS installed
Reboot
Now, regardless of which recovery I flash it goes straight to teamwin splash screen and stays there.

Come on guys, 100 plus views and no replies? Surely somebody has an idea?
At the bottom of your tldr
Flashed twrp.. booted into recovery flashed bigpart twrp then says no OS.
It will say no OS cause bigpart would have wiped everything to resize the partition.
I've updated my TWRP to support bigpart and a few other things. Grab it from the pined thread by myself flash it and wipe everything but sdcard.
THen from the terminal in twrp type

Ensure the system is around a gig if so then you have repartitioned your /system
Then flash your bigpart Rom and gapps should be good to go from there

Cheers for the reply, but I'd already had it flashed and running fine for about three months, as I said in my first line:

Actually, reading that back, it may not have been clear enough that I meant I'd been running it that way for a while.
Oh, also in the TLR, I meant I rebooted so that I could flash TWRP bigpart from ADB/FASTBOOT, not that I flashed it from within TWRP (which is what I should have done since it turned out to be the one and only time I managed to get past the splash screen). It told me there was no OS installed after I flashed the non bigpart version of TWRP and before I rebooted from within the recovery.
My point is I can't get past the splashscreen, no matter what I do, so I can't use any of the recovery / flash options in TWRP. I also can't flash any other recoveries using ADB or FASTBOOT because no matter what I flash it still stays stuck on the TWRP splashscreen when I reboot into recovery, whether I use FASTBOOT REBOOT or reboot using the volume rocker.

TWRP

When I attempt to go to Cofface's Baidu page to download his 5.1 TWRP version, I get a message saying the content is no longer available. Specifically, Google Translate shows "Lol, you visit the page does not exist." Does anyone happen to have a copy they're willing to share? Or is there some issue with the 5.1 version that would suggest that I shouldn't use it? If I shouldn't ask for some reason, I apologize. Otherwise, thanks in advance.

Thanks very much for the link! I think I must have some deeper problems, as every time I flash this recovery (and another version I found in my old downloads), I just get stuck in a boot loop. I was able to use TWRP when I was on B015, but for some reason, I can't get it to work on B106. I'm using:
fastboot flash recovery c:\android\twrp_cn.img
However, like I said I just get stuck in a boot loop. When I flash the stock recovery, everything starts working again.

Did you unlock your bootloader?
Yes, it is. I was able to run TWRP when I was on B015. The phone is rooted, so I've just been using Titanium Backup to back everything up before I wipe the phone, but it would be nice to take a Nandroid backup instead of having to reinstall from TB.

I've tried rebooting from TWRP into the system and shutting down, but each time, it just goes straight back to TWRP. I was able to boot into fastboot, so I reflashed the boot.img file, but it still goes straight to TWRP. I actually have had this issue before, and I wasn't ever able to figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as usual.

I had that exact same problem twice on Kangvip B015. When I would restart it would all of a sudden automatically boot into TWRP every time and never boot into the OS. When that happens, in TWRP make a backup, then Fastboot flash the stock ROM (system, boot, cust, recovery, user data etc) then when it boots do a factory data reset, then reroot, flash TWRP and restore from the backup you made. The OS will boot from your backup. I dunno why this happens, maybe it has something to do with with Kernel.
I've tried it a couple of times now, and I'm still not getting it to boot past TWRP once I flash the recovery. It was able to take a backup with TWRP, but when I restored it, I still had to restore the stock recovery before I could boot into the system. At worst, at this point, I can always flash TWRP, take a backup, flash the stock recovery, and then have my system back. It's a few extra steps, but I think I'll do this until I find a custom ROM that I like. I greatly appreciate the help so far.

Reflash the stock b106 recovery and wipe user data and cache, Then reflash twrp recovery and restore your backup. It should boot then.
To follow up, I tried using the updated version of TWRP that you (mtyler7807) posted in the development thread and following the instructions above. I can flash the recovery, boot into it, and take a backup. After that, as long as I boot into the system, I'm fine. However, once I boot into recovery for the first time after that initial backup, it just reboots into TWRP every time. So, right now, I took a backup a day or so ago, and I've just avoided going back in to TWRP again. I have another X2 on the way (a 32GB version), so I'm hoping that I'll have better luck with that one.

By any chance, did you delete anything from the Cust Folder at any point?

As far as I know, I have not. I did do a complete wipe of everything (except the SD card) at one point using TWRP, but I've always restored the system using the stock system.img file. Right now, the Cust folder is showing five folders, with several more folders/files underneath. Is there a particular file I should be checking for?

I don't think so. It's weird how some of us have different problems than others. I've had zero issues with TWRP but lately my screen has been going crazy. My touches don't work, things jump it's like my digitizer is messed up but when I restart everything is fine again. So I reloaded everything and the problem went away. I guess I debloated too much last time.

OOS11 Broke TWRP and bricked my devices

My Phone was running Android 11 perfectly fine. Has been for about a week and a half, and I've decided that I don't like the OS. I was going to flash a custom ROM and went to create a nandroid before flashing. Literally all I did was boot into recovery and TWRP got stuck in a bootloop, the TWRP splash screen appears, crashes and then reappears about 2 seconds later, now when I try to boot back into system, TWRP appears instead and continues to bootloop. I can enter fastboot mode but that's all.
So far I've tried
Booting TWRP through fastboot. Failed another bootloop.
Rebooting through ADB. Boots into TWRP.
Rebooting Bootloader. Seems to do nothing.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this ? It seems strange to me that something as simple as booting recovery could do this much harm. I also have a nandroid backup stored on the device from about a month ago, so the data loss wouldn't be THAT major, but I'm also not sure how I could access it without system or recovery access.
Hi , Which version of TWRP use? I think there is an update a new version TWRP 3.5.2 , Try to flash it. if its still not booting try to boot the original Boot of OOS11.
May be this threads will help you.

New version does not work as well. Flash the stock boot img to get out of bootloop.
