I tried to root last night and got into a boot loop and need help. I was trying to flash Resurrection ROM and use the all in one tool. Any tips or tricks that I'm missing.
I had issue of being stuck on boot. I went into twrp and did format, typed in confirmation, it wiped all but after wipe clicked mount option and added the RR rom. Flashed RR, then went into bootloader mode and did toolallinone recovery and root option, restart, phone vibrated and came to life in 5 mins

Keep searching XDA and you will find that these kinds of issues have been reported already,if you are still unable to get out of bootloop then reply back.
Most probably it will be because of forgetting to format data or flashing tapos or something like that.
And next time you post something, please include details about what you actually did because those things matter.
I followed directions that someone gave on the Resurrection thread and was able to get root and flash the ROM without a hitch. Thank you everyone

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.

Great to see you up and running....
Can you add 'SOLVED' to your thread title ....
Thx Josh
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

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..

Thanks! I'm loading Lollipop for the fisrt time now!
I found a tutorial here to change the bootloader:

Thanks again
Ok so thanks ahead of time for any help given, here is my story. I have a E980 with the latest AT&T 4.4.2 on it and should have done a little more reading before I installed a custom recovery. I used a one click rooting app for pc which worked great and root was achieved with no problems. Then not knowing about needing a lokified recovery for this I used FREEGEE and CM Rom Manager to attempt to install a custom recovery which both said they were successful and according to CM Rom manager i am running CM recovery 6.0.3.8. My phone still works fine but I can't factory restore or boot into recovery without getting the secure booting error Cause: boot certification verify. I have looked for the last two days on this form and others trying to find a way to get back into recovery. Everything I have read on this error ends up leading back to me using the recovery to flash another rom or another recovery which I can't do. From what I have read the people with this error normally can't do anything on there phones. I do have Android studio installed (although don't really know how to use it) on my PC in hopes that there is some way I can fix this. Please if anyone can lead me in the right direction so I can get back into a recovery and load the lokified one it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for any help given!
Bump
While I was attempting to flash CM 13.1 to the phone, it got stuck in a bootloop. Would not get past the white startup/splash screen. So, I booted it into TWRP and attempted to install the recovery I had made using TWRP. It ended up throwing me an error (I don't remember the code.) Anyways, I got the bright idea to completely wipe my phone and retry it. Now TWRP deleted my recovery, and my OS is gone. It was rooted and had SuperSU installed before it got bricked. Any help at all?
Regards,
Cheer
Hi Cheerfulfilms
Next time when you brick your phone, read this thread. I hope you'll be good now.

The Xtreme System ZIP is no longer available.
*update*
I decided to try my own way and it worked very well. Using TWRP I was able to transfer a ROM onto a MicroSD, and then install that ROM from TWRP. It's a lot less complicated than the thread given. The Xtreme stock ROM is running very well though.
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.
