I can't flash the update with twrp 2.5.0.0 so I update latest used fastboot command to flash .blob. Then I reflash twrp 2.5.0.0 for 4.2, restart and going to twrp flash the root zip file successful but restart again it show device not root. I tried many times with root ver 1.21, 1.51, 1.55 and 1.65 with no lucky.
[Transformer TF300T General] joelalmeidaptg:
It is fine here, the device is rooted afret a reboot... Are you sure you downloaded the Zip and installed it via recovery? Note that TWRP's "root" isn't working - you need to use the zip file.
[Transformer TF300T General] lucky76:
Exactly I used the Zip file and install via twrp recovery, it told me succesful but restart it not rooted.
[Transformer TF300T General] arvo.bowen:
I don't see that quote anywhere in the OP... The reason I ventured to this thread in the first place was to find out how to unlock the bootloader so that I could install TWRP. ;)

Update the ROM first because that will erase recovery then put twrp back on.
[Transformer TF300T General] leechxyz1:
Hi,

I bought a TF300T a few days ago and it was unlocked and the current Rom is Cyanogenmod 10.

The one I bought it from said he always failed to put on a newer rom than this: CM 10-20120906.NIGHTLY-tf300t.

Now I read a lot about it and thought the problem was the older bootloader and I found this thread.

I wanted to try the method 2: Update using fastboot, but I always got this message on the tf300t screen

Failed to process command flash: staging error (0x170003)

and this message in the command console:

C:\Recovery>fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob

sending 'staging' (800931 KB)...

OKAY [140.021s]

writing 'staging'...

FAILED (remote: ()

finished. total time: 141.025s.

After that the thread said, there is another possible update solution with Method 3: Update using TWRP recovery. So I tried to flash TWRP ( I was on CWM earlier) and I got no error messages while flashing. But when I try to enter the recovery, it just displays booting recovery kernel image and then restarts.

I didnt find anything on google, so I hope somebody in here has a solution.

hi,

i have unlocked tf300tg and i want to root it. i have a problem with my unlocker version. i used v7 unlocker for 4.2.1 and it didn't work.(my mistake) how can i downgrade? can someone show me the correct files? Especially TWRP file.

Model: Tf300tg

Android Version: 4.2.1 / 10.6.2.8
[Transformer TF300T General] e2zippo:
Hey guys!

I think I managed to semi brick my TF300 just now.

Here's what I did.

1. Flashed TWRP 2.5.0.0 (was previously on patched 2.4.0.0) and ended up with double screens, realized I was on an older bootloader

2. Downloaded TWRP 2.4.0.0 -JB version (here's probably where it went wrong), I think I should've used -42 version, although I'm not sure, I never checked which bootloader I'm on :eek:

3. Now I can't boot to fastboot or my rom (Pacman Android 4.3), no matter which buttons I hold down I end up in TWRP, which is asking me for a password, and I know you can just cancel that prompt out, but after that I can't see any files on my sdcard (although they seem to be there but the filenames are inivisble)

4. Hooked the TF300 up to my PC and I can see my device when i run adb devices, so that should mean it's not totally lost right?

Here I am, stuck, can only boot into a non working TWRP.

So how do I proceed, how can I flash a working patched twrp version when I can't enter fastboot?

For the record, I ran the NVflash tool when I was on ICS bootloader, although I'm not sure how to boot into APX mode and fix this?

Maybe this isn't the right place for this but I really need som help!

Cheers!

[Transformer TF300T General] pjc21:
Yes this has happened to alot of people flashing a non-4.2 version of twrp to a device with a 4.2 bootloader.

If adb is working ok then try command

adb reboot-bootloader

This should reboot the device to the bootloader screen where you can check your bootloader version (look at the text in the top left),I gonna guess your on bootloader 10.6.1.8 (as you got the split-screen after flashing 2.5.0.0) and also fastboot should automatically start.

You can then try fastboot flash the correct twrp for your bootloader:

10.6.1.8 = openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob

10.6.1.15.3 = openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob

10.6.1.27.1 = openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob

10.6.1.27.5 = openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob

If you can not fastboot flash successfully - ie you don't get the blue bar on device when flashing try this solution. I believe the "erase misc" was the key to this issue.

Hope this helps
[Transformer TF300T General] e2zippo:

Use TWRP 2.5.0.0 that works with the new bootloader.
[Transformer TF300T General] hgoldner:
Definitely confirmed this by flashing the latest 4.2.1 firmware, then TWRP 2.6.3.0, found that it couldn't see the boot partition and the Nandroid failed; then rolled back to 2.5.0.0 and things are now doing fine. It's great that the OP here makes this clear; but there are a few other threads about flashing TWRP after the latest firmware that fail to note the issues with 2.6.x.x. That version runs fine on other devices, but doesn't play well with the TF300T.

Question - Installing TWRP on 4.2.1 build 10.6.1.27.5

I am preparing to install TWRP 2.5.0.0 on my TF300T. It is stock ANdroid 4.2.1 with the latest OTA installed (Build 10.6.1.27.5-20130902). I unlocked the bootloader with the ASUS tool. My question is I can't seem to find the bootloader version and I want to make sure my build is compatible with the procedure and the file provided in [UNLOCKED BL]-- Installing TWRP (Recovery) section of your guide. When I boot, in the upper left corner is says something like bootloader <1.00 e> Thanks for your help.

Also, I'm pretty new to the 300T, so don't be that rude.
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
It would appear twrp did not install successfully or got corrupted. Try again
[Transformer TF300T General] hgoldner:
If when you boot into bootloader you have only 3 icons, RCK, and Android robot, and wipe, then you have the newer JB bootloader and you can flash TWRP 2.5.0.0, provided you are also bootloader unlocked (which you said you were). The older JB bootloader had 4 icons.

While the tablet is connected to the computer, power it off, then power it up while holding the volume DOWN key; when the bootloader comes up, with the RCK highlighted, press "up." You'll be in fastboot usb mode, and you can then flash TWRP.
[Transformer TF300T General] DonPanda:
Okay, tried it again, but now this happens:

C:\Users\***\Desktop\recovery>fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob
sending 'recovery' (6448 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.550s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: (InvalidState))
finished. total time: 5.307s

What does that mean? There wasn't such an "invalidState" at the first try, so I'm a little confused.
[Transformer TF300T General] funnel71:
I'm going to guess there was and you missed it. Invalid state normally means you have a locked bootloader. To confirm, restart your device normally. When the ASUS splash screen comes up at the beginning, look to the upper-left of your screen. If your device is unlocked, you'll see "this device is unlocked" in small letters. If you don't see anything, you are locked, and you can't install TWRP without unlocking, which requires use of the ASUS APK available on their site.
[Transformer TF300T General] DonPanda:
Thank you so much, sir! Now it just worked fine. Thhe send process took a bit longer as my usual tries.

It's kinda hard to find the right solution if you're oon a new device, even if you had a few Android phones before. :)

But it seems Asus got a really nice support on that point. Other manufacturers wouldn't give such an APK to unlock their bootloader.

Again, thank you.

I had the same problem, and got it back thanks to that post olso. The next thing I did was a nvflash backup, so I suggest u do the same. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1894867
[Transformer TF300T General] uncle.lag:
For the whole day I was fighting a very peculiar problem with installing TWRP on my TF300T.

The problem was that when I ran fastboot.exe it crashed with standard "fastboot stopped working" windows message.

I dig here and there and no solution seemed to be found.

[My TF300T uses JB 4.2.1, it was properly unlocked, drivers for both PTP and MTP modes installed, USB debugging mode was turned on]

Suddenly I thought it was a good idea to take a closer look at what fastboot does and how. So I stumbled upon "fastboot devices" command and gave it a try. To my surprise I saw not one but two devices in the list, first of them had 16 question marks as a serial number, and the second one had the correct 16 hex digits serial. This was the turning point. Somehow an unknown device was hogging fastboot from accessing my TF300T and luckily there were workaround just for that. Instead of using -i 0x0b05 USB vendor ID, I used -s switch with the serial number that I get previously.

And there it was, working like it supposed to.

So, if you have a problem like me (fastboot crash), the procedure goes like this:

1) Connect the device to a PC using USB cable

2) Reboot your device into bootloader as usual (using volume down button)

3) After a while you should see three icons (RCK, Android, Wipe Data)

4) On PC run "fastboot.exe devices" command

5) You probably should get two devices, but only one of them has a legit serial number - copy it

6) Execute "fastboot.exe -s YOUR16DIGITSERIAL flash recovery twrp.blob"

7) Wait for it to finish

8) Reboot by executing "fastboot.exe reboot"

9) Proceed to the "rooting" part of the tutorial as usual

Glad if it helps anyone.

Cheers.

Hi All,

I've decided to go try this ROM out on my TF300TL, and have already come to my first odd issue.

The bootloader is now unlocked using the Asus v8.unlocker utility, but I cannot find the 'Developer Options' under Settings.

My device is 10.6.2.10. I was hoping to find Developer Options so in preparation for installing Recovery, but I just can't see it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks all.

Updated TWRP to a patched 2.6.3.0 by flumpster. This one is able to backup and restore boot/recovery partitions, to and from the sdcard. Wipes and flashing working perfectly. Tested it myself!

Added a new update zip created by flumpster that allows users with prior recovery versions to update without having to use fastboot

My 8GB and 16GB SDs from Kingston (class 6 and 10) work perfectly with it. I have no idea about the filesystem of theirs, but mine is fat32.

That screenshot shows me it as formatted to fat32.

I definitely tested fat32 and most of my team uses Sandisk UHS-1 cards and they tested it also but I never tested with my large card so I will try it on the weekend as mine is formatted to fat32 also.

My money is on it working tho. Very odd.

The only thing I notice there is that you have a 4 meg unallocated segment at the beginning of the card and I do not know if this is normal behavior in Gparted as I do not use it. If there is another partition there maybe that then would class as mmcblk1p0 instead?

I'll run some tests.
[Transformer TF300T General] joelalmeidaptg:
Thank you. What is strange is that the older recovery can read the SD card... So the recovery is most likely the one to blame... :-|

[Transformer TF300T General] flumpster:
Now that card doesn't have the unallocated space at the beginning of it.

I think this is maybe the problem with your other card.

Is there any chance you can backup that other card and reformat it in gparted without the unallocated space? Then we will know for sure.
[Transformer TF300T General] That Baker Guy:
Yeah I'll do that in the morning, not sure where that 4mb partition came from. Now if it does read it after removing that partition why did 2.5 read it just fine?
[Transformer TF300T General] flumpster:
In fact, can you try one other test before repartitionng that card?

Download the official twrp 2.6.3.0 for 4.2 ( the one that doesn't mount boot and recovery ) and see if your card works in that one first with that 4 meg part still there.

Then test it in my version with it repartitioned as I said above.
[Transformer TF300T General] joelalmeidaptg:
If I remember correctly, the "regular" twrp since 2.6.0.0 wasn't able to recognize some sdcars. At the time there were people complaining about that...
[Transformer TF300T General] That Baker Guy:
yeah i can try that, i should probably make some nvflash backups before i do though.
[Transformer TF300T General] joelalmeidaptg:
You can flash the regular one with no worries lol. I was using it before the modded one by flumpster. I was too lazy to revert to 2.5.0.0 just to have the boot partition being recognized ahahah

Stuck at sending recovery

Alright I just got my asus tablet, and of course one of the first things I want to do is root it.

I have followed the guides here, I am on 4.2. I have the newest firmware installed, and I have fastboot.My device is unlocked, I am in developer mode, and I have unsigned apps allowed.

When I run the fastboot -i 0xb05 flash recovery twrp.blob command, it returns "sending recovery (6448 kb) but it just stalls there

In recovery mode my tablet has the three icons, on the top left it says "Key driver not found..booting os

Android cardhu-user bootloader (1.00 e) released by "us_epad-10.6.1.27.5-2010902" a03

I have followed the instructions here and am at a complete loss. I dont know what kind of key driver I could possibly be missing. Any ideas?

After some more searching I found that I might need to re install drivers for the device. I have done so and I am still getting "key drivers not found" I have even installed the complete asus software package and no luck. I am pulling my hair out here.
[Transformer TF300T General] krash1256:
Hope this helps.

Is your tablet rooted or not? Does the computer recognize it when you adb? If it does not list your tablet in adb that means you don't have the drivers installed for your device. google search for adb drivers for your tablet and your version of windows. Then install them through device manager and choose manual choose the folder you download the drivers to and windows will install them. Then try again to adb your device. Put the twrp recovery on the internal sdcard and then if your tablet is already rooted try this:

adb shell

/system/xbin/su

mount -o rw,remount /system

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

reboot

You should then have recovery installed.
