I downloaded: recoverytf300t4.2.zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2187982. And found problems.

I will attempt the fastboot again and report back.

UPDATE:

No change... I see the password request and hit cancel.

I then flash the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.30.zip which is already in the root of system.

It says successful, but then at the end it complians:

E:Unable to mount '/cache'

Hit 'Reboot System'

says:

Root permissions appear to be lost.

Fix root permissions now?

-- selecting either "Do Not Fix" or fix -- does nothing... not rooted, etc.

How can I be sure this is the correct recovery?

size is: 6,927,840

If I accidentally (and earlier) flashed the twrp of size: 6,602,856 by mistake, is this recoverable? I don't believe I did, but anything is possible if one is ASLEEP.

Amazingly, I went and looked at the blob files on the twrp site for the tf300t and it seems that the link I was using was not the correct file. I then re-flashed and now all it as it should be. LESSON learned: don't trust link without verifying - go to the source and verify.

Thanks,

Joel
[Transformer TF300T General] joelalmeidaptg:
You must have flashed the wrong recovery. The one on the post is working for every one: i took it from the official website. The reason I posted the file here is because TWRP site cannot be trusted: when the 4.2 update came out the page tutorial and files were leading to the brick you just had (and thank God you didn't wipe anything, or Asus would be the only one who can fix your tablet replacing the motherboard). See the comments on this guide and you'll see that no one else had problems. You probably just flashed the wrong file ;)
[Transformer TF300T General] JoelParke:
As I have often said -- "stupid is really powerful!" :) thanks for the help, sorry for wasting time.
[Transformer TF300T General] ganggreen777:
Trying to make sure im good

Like I said and perhaps I need clarification....on some things

I show this pic to show and ask if I have indeed flashed the updated recovery bc I did update bootloader and lost root so I simply followed

this thread> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2187982

and used method 3 with linked downloads for updated TWRP ......

did i do that correctly? bc i have no idea if it is on my tablet....im nervous to go into gooManger and "install open recovery script"

because rootchecker showed i am unrooted (i had the premise that updateing the TWRP would have rooted my device and did the 4.1.1 version when i first rooted this).

It would seem like I am not rooted and would need to ......?????

i am thinking all it did was install a recovery.....I just dont know alll the info that is why i am calling/reaching out to youz awl

THANKS
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
That's exactly what you did, installed recovery. You need to flash the supersu zip using the recovery you just installed, and that should do it.
[Transformer TF300T General] ganggreen777:
Yes, im just 'checking' followed the op to tye 't' and used the download links so I was just looking for "assurance" if you will.....so I will go into recovery and flash that given link for super su and im good ..??.....

EDIT:

Thank you to evryone im rooted!

I'm on 10.6.1.8 with TWRP patched 2.4.4.0

The steps to update are:

1- Update to 10.6.1.15.3 using fastboot, wait reboot into stock

2- Installing TWRP (Recovery) 2.5.0.0 4.2, wait reboot into stock

3- Go to TWRP and install custom rom

Am I right?
[Transformer TF300T General] ganggreen777:
Yep thats what I did PROFIT
[Transformer TF300T General] ScottBroker:
I followed directions. I finally unlocked my BL.I installed the twrp for the 4.2.1Just shows swipe to unlock and the twrp icons, but will never unlock.
[Transformer TF300T General] pjc21:
Do you have a split-screen in twrp, top half icons, bottom half the swipe to unlock?

If so sounds like you flashed twrp-2.5.0.0-4.2 on the JB 4.2 10.6.1.8 bootloader which will result in the split-screen issue.

If this is the case you can either update bootloader to 10.6.1.15.3 and then flash twrp-2.5.0.0-4.2 or just flash twrp-2.4.4.0-4.2 if your on the 10.6.1.8 bootlloader

JB 4.2 - 10.6.1.8 - twrp-2.4.4.0-4.2

JB 4.2 - 10.6.1.15.3 - twrp-2.5.0.0-4.2

[Transformer TF300T General] khrystyan27:
I want to revert anything to stock (PURE STOCK Android 4.2.1)

How to do it?

Can someone explain to me how to do it? I am experiencing bad battery life after root (29-21% in 6 hours, with anything off)
[Transformer TF300T General] pjc21:
No if you flash cwm on a 4.2 bootloader it will most likely cause a fastboot flash brick. Only flash a -4.2 version of twrp on a 4.2 bootloader.

ADB is a way to give the device commands through the command prompt on the pc. If you do a search in this forum on adb and fastboot you should find plenty of info, also install the android-sdk on your pc - this should install fastboot and adb drivers automatically.
[Transformer TF300T General] khrystyan27:
Solution?
[Transformer TF300T General] pjc21:
To get back to pure stock 4.2.1 - 10.6.1.15.3 - I would recommend the fastboot method, just flash the system blob found in the 10.6.1.15.3 firmware zip.

This will give you stock 4.2.1 system, stock recovery and you will also no longer have root.

You can either follow method 2 in the op of this thread or follow my how-to in sig below, let me know if you need help with any steps.
[Transformer TF300T General] khrystyan27:
Any method to "re-lock" the bootloader, or it will remain forever unlocked (and that annoying write on the upper left boot screen)?

I have been away from installing ROMs on my TF300T for a very long time, so please pardon my newb questions.

I am on 4.1.1 with CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.4 - 10.4.4.25/US ODEX. I have an unlocked bootloader. I want to update my tablet to be able to flash ROMs like JB Hydro 7 Liquid butter, and Xenogenesis. I realize that to do this I need the most updated bootloader. I have the TWRP 2.3.3.0 recovery installed as of now. Now, my question is, which section should I follow based on this information?

Im on the 10.6.1.15.3 JB and want to unlock the bootloader and install recovery to install a custom rom.....but a have some questions...

Should i follow [UNLOCKED BL]-- Installing TWRP (Recovery) -- ? can i use that file in dropbox with this version 10.6.1.15.3?

And another question.....i don't undestand the red part :p

Wait for the script to complete. Once it is done, reboot the tablet by holding volume down and power button for 10 seconds or using

Code:

fastboot reboot

on the command line. Don't enter recovery directly!

Another question: with recovery TWRP install we should wipe data on recovery right? there is some mod that to delete that option?

Another question: Can i enter TWRP enter RCK?

Anyways, thanks for all the help in this thread!

---------- Post added at 07:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 AM ----------

I think I can help... (If someone sees a mistake here, feel free to rip me apart :) )

Jb4.1 has a different bootloader from Jb4.2, so the recoveries require different versions.

When you go from 4.1 to 4.2 (obviously using a recovery from 4.1, I had CWM 6.#.#, but i'm guessing it's the same for TWRP) then your tablet gets confused if you enter recovery directly after the new bootloader has been installed (again, I did it, I entered a weird screen, almost like a memory dump on PC, had to power off and then I was stuck in a bootloop.... I had to reflash(fastboot) 4.2.1 again, then it was ok)

After flashing 4.2.1, then just dl TWRP 2.5.0.0 and install it (fastboot). There are a lot of warnings on this all over, amongst the most helpfull was http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2206566.

Hope this answers your question...

Newbie Question

Hi Guys,

I just want to ask a question as I am confused. I think I am on 4.2.1 as I remember doing that upgrade a few months ago and choosing either the 4.1 screen/launcher or 4.2 when I booted into the rom. I am currently on Grimlock 1.3.1.

I tried to upgrade my twrp to 2.5 and 2.6 but both gave me split screen and I read somewhere that if your version is old, that will happen to you so I rolled back to 2.4.4

Can I download the "new" firmware from ASUS and use fastboot method to install it and would that enable me install twrp 2.6 without the double screen?

I would be grateful if I can get help from anyone. I am still reading through the threads though.

Thanks,
[Transformer TF300T General] ch3mn3y:
I think yes. Im using 2.5.0.0 on 4.2 bootloader without split screen.

2.6.0.0 dont give the split screen however i had problem with mounting /boot and /recovery

Hello

Just finished reading this entire thread and was wondering if someone might have an answer for me

I'm not sure if i bricked my tablet or not...i've spent the last 12+ hrs googling and surfing looking for answers but i can't seem to find anything definitive. Here's what i did

1) Was on CM10.1 nightlies and wanted to update to the newest ones on the JB Bootloader

2) downloaded all the necessary files (stock Asus, twrp2.5-42 and newest CM nightly)

3) went to go into recovery but accidentally hit Wipe Data (no idea how i managed that one)

4) tablet was wiped and rebooted into a fresh from the box Android install

5) went back into recovery and wiped cache and flashed stock Asus

6) rebooted and it hung at the Asus "loading screen"

I still have fastboot and recovery access...i fastbooted twrp 2.5-42 recovery on to the device and can flash roms they just don't boot

Yes. I recommend v2.5.0.0-4.2
[Transformer TF300T General] Spinergy02:
So I finally took the dive and unlocked my TF300T today AFTER the asus update went out this morning. I started with TWRP 2.5.0.0-4.2 as it seemed to be recommended by most. Upon booting into recovery after the flash, twrp was asking for a password. Hit "cancel" and noticed that neither local nor sd storage was recognized. After googling for a bit i decided to try twrp 2.6.0.0-4.2. Finally was able to access local and sd storage. I can't say for sure since I didn't try to root before the update, but I'm wondering if 2.6 is the only option for users that installed that Asus OTA update that came out this morning.
