I'm running leanrom 3.4.4 now with twrp 2.2.2.0 . I want to update 4.2.1, and here steps i about to do:

1. flash the newest twrp 2.4.4.0.

2. Then download the 4.2.1 update from asus => extract this zip to get the zip inside it, put it into my asus tf300

3. then reboot into twrp and flash the extracted zip.

=> are these steps correct? Thank in advance
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Goddly:
best advice? wait on the update!!! until they get a source for kernel.. to many bad things happening.. you can listen to the people who managed to get root with a non full working recovery flash.. but i would wait.. ;) (if i could go back in time, id wait... lol)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] tritran18518:
i've been following this update drama since it started to roll out. Clearly, there are more than 3 people got their tab "bricked" ( maybe they can unbricked in future when kernel source come out) and you are the 1st one :(). However , there are also 2-3 people got their tab updated successfully. As far as i understand:

*** People got their tab bricked: used older twrp version=> flash the update (OTA file or official file ) and it was a bad flash => couldn't boot => tried to boot into recovery to reflash/restore ...but the new update already change the partition layout, that cause twrp can't not work anymore=> no way to flash anything=> bricked

***People got their tab updated successfully : also used older twrp version=> flash the update (OTA file or official file ) and it was a good flash=> tab could boot up and run normally=> however, they can't flash twrp (any version older than 2.4.4.0) because none of them worked=> no custom recovery means no root

*************

today, with new twrp 2.4.4.0 coms out which is compatible with new 4.2.1 update, people can flash it and install supersu to get root.

==> so my point is, if i flash twrp 2.4.4 before i flash update , then if i have a bad flash, i still have a working custom recovery to flash my backup or reflash rom...

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] funnel71:
Oops

OK, so I used twrp 2.4.3.0 to install the update, after update completed rebooted into the bootloader, flashed twrp 2.4.4.0, installed fine, can get into it fine, but nothing mounts as others have mentioned, so I can't install much of anything. I thought 2.4.4.0 fixed this, but I suppose not - am I stuck until the kernel source gets posted? I can live with that cause I still have a working OS, just curious.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Big_Drew:
I thought mine was a doorstop too. The OTA update was a bad flash for me...you don't expect an official update to go bad like that. I was stuck at the Asus logo and I had a hard time pushing the old 4.1 image with fastboot. Maybe I was too tired and out of patience at the time, but I don't know what I was doing wrong. I was pretty dejected about it.

I'm unlocked now and rooted again, and I've fixed the build.prop for the DRM checks. It took a while to get everything set up again. This whole mess has reminded me why I swore that I'd never get anything but a nexus phone, and now I think I'd apply that mantra to tablets. I unlocked my Nexus 4, rooted, and relocked the bootloader for security--it didn't delete my DRM keys or cause a single issue. All devices should be that easy. I wish you luck getting yours fixed.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] KPY:
I've only able to flash WW_epad-user-9.4.3.29.zip with CWM, with TWRP it just stayed there doing nothing (it was "installing" about an hour before i change to CWM and flash it again).
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] eyeballer:
Can someone provide a recovery.log when trying to flash this? Again, reporting bugs without logs is basically useless...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] EndlessDissent:
When I unlock my tablet, I plan on using TWRP. On the OG Evo, CWM is notorious for not wiping things correctly, which causes issues with new ROMs. The preferred recoveries for the Evo are TWRP (1.1.1 because the 2.x series bricked Evos and was therefore discontinued) and Amon RA, and users are advised against CWM.

Regardless of whether or not CWM works well on the TF300, TWRP has a more solid reputation.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Zennmaster:
Sorry, I don't have a log to contribute, but I think it's worth noting that the flash in question DOES overwrite recovery. That might shed some light on the subject, no?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Nekromantik:
I unlocked mine yesterday.

Could not be bothered to wait for someone to create a way to root WW 29.

Got CWM on at the moment but TWRP dont support external sd so thats a deal breaker as if my tab breaks and I cant access internal memory then I would need to use a sd card with a backup or rom on it.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Northern-Loop:
Our version of CWM doesn't support external SD card support at the moment. You can install the drivers to get CWM ADB support so you can push the files onto the tablet.

I'm having the same issue. I'll try to get you that log.

Edit: couldn't for the life, of me get a log yet. As far as i could tell because it gets stuck on installing, making a reboot necessary I can't get the log of the failed flash. Also since I have to restore a backup to get the file pulled, so I think the good stuff may be deleted.

Also adb isn't working for me while in recovery so I can't pull it while it's stuck on installing.

Lol Now I'm stuck on the black Asus losing screen after using CWM to flash to US .29. Woe is me.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] tnimk:
Hey guys,

I made a back up of my original before installing custom roms. I tried to restore the backup today (boot, data, system and recovery options all checked from default) and i ended up getting to the asus screen with it being stuck on that swirly circle. I'm still able to get into the recovery and tried to load the custom roms back and they are stuck on the loading screen.

Any thoughts?

I clicked on the "copy log to sd". Is that the log I should send?

Thanks!

Edit: Still no luck. In googling this, it seems like the most recommended solution is to do the "factory reset". I'm a bit hesitant to try this since there's no external sd card support, so if I factory reset all the roms on the internal memory will get wiped(?) and I'll have no other way if I need to install a new rom(?).

Re: [RECOVERY][TF300T/TG] TWRP 2.4.4.0 Touch Recovery! [2013-3-12]

That sounds normal to me, as crazy as that sounds. When you flash something, you get a blue bar across the bottom of the bootloader screen. When you are done flashing, it just sits on the bootloader screen until you take the next action, which is normally a reboot. If you want to reboot normally, after your flash, type:

fastboot reboot

If you want to reboot right back into the bootloader (I do this after installing recovery sometimes), then you type:

fastboot reboot-bootloader

and it will take you right back to the bootloader screen in fastboot mode if you are plugged up to the PC. FYI, if you are in fastboot mode, you can STILL select things, like the RCK icon on the bootloader screen. The moment you select an icon, fastboot it shut off, and it will begin the operation you selected.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Goddly:

Updated to Official 4.2.1, can't install TWRP now. USB driver problem?

HI Guys,

Just wanted to ask for help. I updated my TF300T WW to new firmware 4.2.1 JOP4D 10.6.1.8 Tried to install the TWRP so I would be able to root it, but when I connect the tablet to PC in fastboot, it didn't wanted to install any USB drivers, then I press update driver (win7), it updated it to Asus Andriod Bootloader Interface.

But when I run fastboot, it says " <waiting for device> I guess this means the USB driver is not installed properly or something. The tabled is in fastboot mode, at least I think so, as now thee is no USB icon, but it say "fastboot in process"

I tried also the terminal emulator, but as I am not rooted yet, "permission denied"

Any help with this?

Is any one here who rooted the new firmware?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] ricco333:
"waiting for device" means that you don't have the correct drivers installed, it's a very common fastboot error, just go to Asus website and download Asus Sync, its a whole suite but it will install the necessary drivers for fastboot to work properly, after the installation is done connect your tablet again and try to run the fastboot command and I'm almost certain that you will be fine.
