I am unlocked and have the recovery of twrp 2.3.3.0. I'm having problems with about every single rom I flash. I wipe everything as you are suppose to and the flash appears to go well but usually right away after the rom boots up the system becomes unresponsive. I have to hold my finger over a button for a couple seconds for it to acknowledge a touch and things just don"t run right.
Its like either the system is almost locked up or the touchscreen just hardly works.... one of the two. I made a backup of my original asus setup and if I restore it the tablet works just fine. I've tried hydro, cm 10.1, blackbean 7, and one or two I'm forgetting. AOKP RC1 is the only custom rom that gives me no problems at all in this regard, unfortunately its an unfinished rom, no camera and my battery dies like crazy with it...
The 2nd best running rom that I really like from what I have seen is blackbean 7. Runs great for first few minutes but after playing a game for a bit or doing some other things and having it run just great all the sudden the dreaded problem occurs and the only fix is a reboot for it to work for a while longer. So frustrated at this point as I have flashed so many roms and resetup so many things just to find myself doing it again trying to fix this and find a rom that works for me.
Any ideas at all on what could do this? Is the difference in the kernels the reason why AOKP RC1 and Asus original work but none of the others? Or does it have to do with my recovery? Fairly certain I have the correct most recommended one with twrp 2.3.3.0 and the process went fine. Any ideas greatly appreciated. I really just want to be able to run blackbean. And knowing that most all roms will not work for me is rather disturbing in regards to the future. Really wanting to like my new tf300t but its making it hard:silly:
Try to downgrade your recovery.
Use this : openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-tf300t-JB.blob
and take a feedback after, thanks
I really appreciate that you took the time to give me something to try but I'm afraid it didn't work. Process went fine I'm on 2.3.1.0 twrp but same problem. First rom I've tried instant non-responsive. Any other ideas?
I've been using ClockWorkMod Recovery on my TF300T, and it's been great. (Used it to upgrade my ROM to CM 10.1.) No issues at all.
If you need instructions for getting it installed on a TF300T, check out my second-to-last post on thoughtsontechnology.com. (NONE of the work is mine, I just compiled the instructions and links in one spot for easier access. Most of the work came from XDA contributors, they've been really great.)
Most roms need 5 to 10 mins to stabilize after a new install, usually as they are building media storage files, etc. Are you giving them enough time?
Failing that I can only think your microsd has something corrupt on it. Boot with it out.
Well I tried cwm again flashed it no problem installed rom no problem but no fix. So guess we have established it definitely isn't the recovery at this point...
Yes I've given roms several reboots and lots of suffering them working for 10min to only fail again for another reboot... So its not that. Still the only Rom that will work is my backup of the original asus and the AOKP RC1. Trying it without the external sdcard right now.
Well no joy on the removal of the external sdcard
Have you tried a full wipe before installing? You must have some thing on the data partition causing this. I

Not sure what a full wipe is? I wipe cache/dalvik system format data and have even tried formatting the sdcard once several roms ago. One thing I have noticed since I am trying so many roms all the time is the sdcard file structure seems odd as I have at the root of the sdcard a 0 directory that continues to be added to. Currently it goes sdcard/0/0/0/0 to actually get to where I have things stored like music, downloads. Is this normal? Its strangely repetitive.
Personally I think you should stop using TWRP if you're having all these issues. Just flash CWM and have fun

This thread is a couple months old, but i am having the same problem. After installing a lot of different roms, both stock based and cm/AOKP. I let the rom stabilize and after a few hours or even minutes the touch screen has a mind of its own. It lags, double touches or fails to respond at all. I m on twrp 2.4.1.0. Was this issue ever resolved? Should I try old version recovery or cwm? I restored rooted stock us10.4.2.20 and the issue is gone. Is it possible that installing a rom changed the touch screen firmware? I am open to suggestions as I have spent alot of time on this with no luck. Thanks!
What version CWM would u suggest as this is probably my next move?

Sounds like you have a hardware fault if the issue persists across multiple firmwares.
Also, OP said his SD card directory structure was strange. I'd format both internal and external SD in recovery (in addition to wiping and factory reset) before you flash.
Thanks! Wiping internal has seemed to do the job. Still would like to know what the issue was. I was thinking it was the touch panel firmware, but thought that would be in /system

Hi, I just tried flashing cyanogenmod on my us cellular galaxy s3, and I ran into a problem. I followed a great youtube tutorial on how to flash cyanogen, and everything went fine. the tutorial used goomanager, and was done only using the phone, no computer. I flashed the rom after backing everything up through titanium, and everything appeared to be working like it should. After the flash was complete, the cyanogen animation popped up on my screen, but as soon as it finished loading, two messages popped up: setup wizard has stopped and goo.apps has stopped. I would hit okay, but the two messages just kept popping up. I restored my stock rom, but id still like to flash cyanogen and I need to know what I need to do to prevent this from happening again and how to restart the flash process. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

before you flashed the rom did you wipe data and cache? you might also be on the nightly version, try looking for the stable version, and if its on 10.1 its on 10.1, theres nothing you can do but wait for it to become stable if it isent already.

Everything was wiped. what I think happened was when I backed everything up, I didn't set titanium to not restore my app data, causing a bootloop. I could be very wrong about that though. What I need to know is how to reflash it, as I have already tried to but when I do it brings up system recovery instead of reflashing. Is it because I already tried flashing it once? and if that's the case how do I start from scratch? Oh, and I did flash the stable version. it was 10.1.2

might want to try flashing a stock rom via odin cause it sounds like you have stock recovery now, i dont know if anyone will pick you up in the q&a section, since yours is us cellular i dont think they have a forum for that specific contractor just only t-mobile at&t and verizon would have one. you can ask them in their q&a but tell them your situation and that your on us cellular. good luck mate. if ya have any questions just ask right here.
i've been using CWM recovery and CM nightlies. they've been just fine. today i restored a two day old backup, as i didn't care for the current nightly.
now the phone black screens after the samsung splash.
i've tried:
factory reset
wipe dalvick/cache
restoring other backups
flashing other nightlies
and the phone will boot for the first time, but if i select 'reboot' or 'power down' on the next boot it's only a samsung splash, then black screen (no cm splash, no response from buttons input), and will not boot again.
what's the problem ?

Happens once in a while when you flash over a back up.
Try making a clean flash.

i've done that. right now, i've wiped everything, and then flashed a nightly, and it will not reboot !
it will only boot the -one- time directly after flashing a new rom. any reboot attempts after that means it freezes, or fails, with a black screen directly after the samsung splash.
what have i missed ?

Try installing Samsung firmware via Odin. Root it and try again. Wouldn't hurt to try.

i've wiped everything. flashed back to stock via odin, rooted, just like always.
i've even wiped in between.
after the FIRST clean boot, there is no rebooting. all it does is continue to hang after the samsung splash. no cyanogenmod, no stock rom, no nothing, nothing will boot the SECOND TIME.
i really don't understand this.
i'm using CWM recovery 5.5.0.4, cm-nightly 10-05, and it just don't think it's going to work properly again. it's a real shame, cause i really like the size, weight, and speed of this phone. but if it won't boot, i can't use it.
if anyone has any tips, i'll try them. at this point i really don't mind destroying it, and it might make me feel better to do so.
i meant to add, it doesn't matter if i use a backup, flash a fresh new rom, or use stock. the first boot works fine, but all boots after that wether from powering down or selecting 'reboot' fail.
maybe this part will help -
if i wipe the phone completely, it will boot. let's call this boot 1.
i can setup the phone, or change nothing in settings, doesn't appear to matter, and choose 'power down' or 'reboot'. let's call this reboot 1.
the next time i power on the phone, black screen. no CM splash, nothing. i guess we'll call this hang 1 ?
ideas ?

The October nightlies are cm10.2 right? Your using the old recovery, that's the issue. And there are newer nightlies.

yes, they're fairly recent nightlies. i skipped back to the 10-5 nightly as i thought that might ahve been part of the problem. since you're pointing to my recovery being an older version, i'll update it. thanks for the clue stick !

hey thank you for that. i've removed the old cwm recovery, flashed new, lots of other flashes, and it finally works again. now to dig up a non-corrupted backup and hopefully be back to working.
thanks button was used
well, after all of that i'm going to roll with cm-10.0, cwm 6.xomething, so i can have a working compass on oruxmaps.
i won't be updating until 10.x begins to support compass functions again.
see yall then !

Make sure you use the latest cm10 nightly, as the old stable one is a lot less "stable" than the name suggests, and is lacking features

thanks for the tip !
i finally got all the corrupted files (or whatever was causing problems) rm'd from both the phone and sdcard.
as of yesterday i had CM-10.o + CWM 6.0.3.8 and gapps 2012-8 (i think) working nicely on the phone. backed up a nandroid of all of it two times, and restored them to make sure restores were working. yes, everything fine.
as of today, i have CM-10.2 (latest nightly) + CMW 6.0.3.8 and gapps (current) working nicely on the phone. backed CURRENT up nandroid on sdcard, and restored a few times to make sure. yes, working fine.
seems it was
A) corrupted files/filessystems
and/or
B) too old a clockworkmod recovery
C) unstable CM version( s )
but now all is fine. thanks to all that helped !
I have had my phone a month and its been working flawlessly. I've installed a few custom roms on it and I'm comfortable with all the technical side from years of doing this.
What happened is my phone had a random shutdown and on reboot there was a com.androidsystemui error. No problem I thought, so I wiped the phone and restored a backup of the same rom (latest Heisenberg which has been very stable for me) same issue. OK maybe its rom related. So I did a clean install of Slimkat which I have found v stable. Instant reboot on setup. After trying this a few times I took the nuclear option and wiped by entire phone including storage and went through all this again using otg. Same problems.
I can only think its recovery or sim card related? any ideas?
btw I have tried fixing permissions and repairing file system in recovery. Thanks in advance!

What recovery are you using? I would consider trying out Philz touch recovery, not sure it will fix it, but its worth a shot anyways.
I have exactly the same bug, with my one (the one with these problems is for a friend) i once had this too, i thougt flashing every image file from stock image has fixed it ill try it in some hours.
BTW i use TWRP v 2.7.1.1 or 2.8.0.1 but this lsat one dont works with multirom for now

Thank you very much
Read the full thread. Possibly a latest twrp issue.
I recently upgraded my phone from 4.4.4 to the latest OTA. It was working fine for a while but it crashed, rebooted and keeps (re)optimizing the apps. It'll get stuck on some of them for a long time and might make it through, or I hard reboot it and it does it all over. Whenever it does make it through, it says "starting apps" and then reboots and does it all over again.
I've cleared the cache multiple times and restored the stock recovery, but still not working. Does anyone else have any other suggestions that I could try??
Also I read somewhere that there was a zip I could possibly flash to use all the cores, as lollipop only uses one during this process? Does anyone know where that is?
Thanks.

To make things clearer. Previous what ROM were you on? After your proclaimed (OTA), what was the ROM suppose to be?
I went from the Oneplus One CM 4.4.4 to the CM 5.1 OTA. Not sure why you're don't believe me..
I think I might have bad memory or flash or something at this point..
So since yesterday I've tried using the tutorials here to flash stock Kitkat with the same errors happening. When it boots up, I get a done of crashes on things like gapps and process.acore. I also tried flashing the stock Lollipop; both using the non fastboot and fastboot way. Every time wiping everything with all the same results. The only rom I've had some slight uptime with has been slimrom without gapps as there's not much running there. Once I add the gapps package to it, processes start crashing again.
Does anyone know of a memory/cpu/flash test I could try, or any other suggestions? Thank you.
