What jjgrantham referred to would be my next idea. But I'd feel a lot better if other users here could chime in and confirm that it would work!

But first a question: How did your roms survive all that wiping if you have them on your internal SD card? What exactly did you wipe before you flashed the bootloader? Per instructions, when you go from a 4.1 based rom to a 4.2 you're supposed to do a clean install, meaning: wiping cache, dalvik, system and data. What did you do?

My next suggestion - and again I would like others to confirm this - would be to download the stock 4.2 firmware, put it onto a FAT32 formatted microSD, and put that into your tablet and flash it from TWRP.

Installing the stock firmware SHOULD install a working bootloader/recovery/rom combination.

This will wipe out TWRP though and since the custom recovery seems to be the only component working on your system, you better be absolutely sure that this is the right way to go.

If you get the stock rom installed, you can start over again: Root with Motochopper, install TWRP through Goo Manager etc.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
By the way - those "overlapping" blue bars are completely normal - it always looks like that when you flash something....
[Asus Transformer TF700] ssnova:
Gotcha, thanks for the advice, I'll go ahead and get the microsd and wait it out.

Funny thing is... I wiped all that you mentioned: wiping cache, dalvik, system and data.. and I even wiped it to do a "factor reset".

Yet my roms are where I placed them in the internal storage. Perhaps I'm mentioning the wrong thing when I call it "internal storage" but I can browse to it after doing all the wipes.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
When you updated the boot loader, the was no need at all to perform an type of wipe. Its compatible with CROMiX 4.2.1 base so it would of worked. The wiped got it all messed because usually after flashing a boot loader you need to boot back into the ROM. After flashing the boot loader ,the two bars is the boot loader actually installing, then it should reboot into the ROM, since you didnt have one you should just be able to flash CROMiX and it should boot it up, but some have has to flash a stock ROM,thus wiping your recovery and requiring you to reinstall it again.

[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Tylor, do you know if you can flash the stock firmware from TWRP with a messed up bootloader? I found a couple of posts from sbdags and Pretoriano80 that seem to indicate you can. But that did not work for jjgrantham who was in the same situation as ssnova.

[Asus Transformer TF700] liney_2000:
Have had two or three places around the screen where this happened but it's OK now. I read somewhere else that there was a glue issue that would settle down after time, I was skeptical, but it turns out that it's true.

As for the rom, I have been away from here a while and updated to 4.6.4 today, just wanted to add my thanks, awesome work and really appreciated.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
You should be able as long as the recovery is compatible with the boot loader. I however do not see how the boot loader is corrupted. There is something fishy going on with the whole thing. [MENTION=5189080]ssnova[/MENTION], do you have a nandroid backup that is 4.2.1 based that you could restore?

Tylor
[Asus Transformer TF700] ssnova:
Yeah, that's what I wondering, if there was a stock rom I could flash in from TWRP, but I guess it may not even be able to help seeing that my bootloader is screwed up. My fault.. lesson painfully learned..

I got a hold of a microsd... sort of off topic, but does anyone know where to get the stock rom? The ASUS site seems messed up on my end:

http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=20&s=16&m=ASUS+Transformer+Pad+Infinity+TF700T

asks me to choose the OS, but when I click on the drop down menu, it has no options... is it just me? I tried 3 different browsers, firefox, IE, and chrome...same thing, it seems like it's pulled off the site or something.

haha, tylor to the rescue again... btw is that basically the same thing that I'm supposed to do?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
Read my other post I mentioned you in then come back to this one :p. Instead of selecting it par device, go to support, drivers/downloads, type in your device(TF700T) and then go under downloads, android, for some reason they are there and not in the other place. But read the other pot first about a nandroid backup? Do you have one?

Tylor
[Asus Transformer TF700] ssnova:
No, unfortunately I did not make a nandroid backup...

All I did was boot into TWRP, did the wipe(which I guess is the culprit), and then attempted to install the newer bootloader... and then it rebooted and got hung up on the Asus screen after seeing the blue bars... after quite some time, I turned it off, and then booted into TWRP, and then after doing a cold reboot I posted back that it showed that I still had a bootloader... then I attempted to install cromi-x 4.6.4, and the install went fine, but it still got hung up on the ASUS screen after rebooting. Then I tried to downgrade by flashing the older bootloader+twrp.. and then it would reboot, then reboot 2 more times before going into TWRP... and that's what it still does now, even after trying to flash to the newer bootloader again.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
This happened to me too. When you forced it off, it was at the ASUS screen correct? not the one with the blue bars? The boot loader does not seem corrupt. The only thing that I could get to work is restoring a nandroid backup. It seems one of the partitions are corrupted, not the boot loader.

HINT!!! ALWAYS make a nandroid backup, ALWAYS, before flashing anything like a new ROM, ROM update, or boot loader/recovery because these things happen. So you wiped everything including your internal storage? Meaning an advance wipe with Data, System, Cache, and Dalvic cache? and then clicking Internal Storage outside the advanced options? I am not completely clear what all you wiped.

Tylor
[Asus Transformer TF700] ssnova:
Yes you are correct! It was on the Asus screent(not the blue bars).

crap...should've made that nandroid backup...

So this is what I wiped.. I clicked on advance and checked the following: dalvik cache, system, cache, data

And then after that... I went back to the wipe menu and swiped to do a "factory reset".

Despite all that.. when I click on install from TWRP's home screen I can browse "storage: internal storage".... /sdcard

but I have no external on there so I can only assume it's my internal?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
A little fyi... a factory reset wipes all that you did in advance wipe. Ok then your boot loader is fine. I think you are to have to flash the stock ROM again. But try flashing CROMiX one last time just to be sure.

Tylor
[Asus Transformer TF700] tiernan22:
Oh, so I'm not the only one that gets that? I guess when things work a guy tends not to ask many questions.... :cool:
[Asus Transformer TF700] ssnova:
I'll try it one more time, maybe I'll get lucky, but I already flashed cromi-x 3 more times after having the ordeal, haha... (twice with 4.6.4 and once with 4.6.1... all of them installed "successfully"), but when I reboot it goes to the ASUS screen, and then reboots two more times before going back into TWRP.

For the mean time I'll download a stock rom.

---------- Post added at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 PM ----------

update: btw I did a cold boot to see what version bootloader I had and it says this:

"key driver not found.. booting OS

Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> relead by "US_epad-10.6.1.14.8-...."

I know I have the latest bootloader, but what I'm curious to know is... the "key driver not found" part, is that of significance to this ordeal?
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
I just booted to the bootloader. Have that same 'key driver not found'

Not sure what it means.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
It's normal. You can ignore it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ssnova:
Update#2: Ok, I installed cromi-x 4.6.4 one more time, unfortunately after the blue bars filled up at reboot, it rebooted again and then proceeded to TWRP. I have just finished downloading a stock rom( Version V10.6.1.14.8 from the home page labeled as US_epaduser_10_6_1_14_8_UpdateLauncher) in which I will put onto a microsd and then I will install it through TWRP(after a wipe).

I'll let ya know what happens, much thanks to the community.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
It has no significance. I believe everyone's says that.

Tylor
[Asus Transformer TF700] ssnova:
Thanks.

I just tried to install the rom I downloaded and got a fail error, so I'm going to use another micro sd and reboot, just to make for sure it wasn't the card or if somehow the sourcefile got corrupted during the download..

I've got a headache, haha.. time to step away from the pad for tonight and I'll continue this tomorrow morning since I'm in the "colonies" as far as time zone goes.

Thanks again, I'll keep you guys posted.

[Asus Transformer TF700] jjgrantham:
That's what happened to me too. You need to push the stock zip through adb and let it install a stock recovery and ROM. That's the only way your getting out of this mess. Follow steps in that thread and it will work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] curiousmileo:
So, has anyone else noticed something fishy about the multitasking on the 4.1 launcher? Granted, I am using a relatively old build of CROMi-X but I'm assuming that if he did not know about it then it wasn't fixed.

If anyone could back me up or at least do this experiment for me. Restart the device with the 4.2 launcher. Then when it has booted, go into any app and hit the multitasking button and watch the animation. The app slowly minimizes to the middle-right part of the screen yes? This should be the same with any app.

Now, switch to the 4.1 launcher and open up another app and hit the multitasking button. Does the app minimize very laggy to the bottom right corner, then disappear and appear again in the middle right where it is supposed to be?

Also, a small side question. To dirty flash over the ROM, all I need to do is flash it in the recovery? What about all the options? Do I have to select all the apps and other things I installed before or do I just let it run with nothing installing. I guess what I am asking is do I need to do anything special to dirty flash because I know there is a install manager unlike many other ROM's that I tried before.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wnerw:
[MENTION=2688433]curiousmileo[/MENTION]

With great relief I can say, that using switch app button on my tf700, latest CROMi-X build, 4.1 launcher, I experience no lag. Animations are snappy as hell. App minizes instantly to the bottom right corner, and it's right there in apps thumbnails, with no hesitation at all.

Sorry, I did your experiment, but I won't back you up :(

I highly doubt that this problem in latter CROMi-X builds was an issue itself. It was probably caused just because rom wasn't so optimised itself... So sbdags didn't have to know but this particular issue.

Regarding your 'small side question'. You just flash the zip over previous rom in TWRP. As you know it has aroma installer. You need to choose options you want. Just take notice of what ASUS and Google apps you have, or want to have :)

PS Now it comes to my mind. Lags in switch app animation can be caused by launcher, can't they? So your lags can be fixed by uograding and/or choosing the right launcher.
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
Could also be the animals you use in the launcher.

Also you turned off all animations in the developer options
[Asus Transformer TF700] RavenMad:
Same here, multitasking animations are snappy and no lag whatsoever. 4.1 Apex launcher.

+1 for that.

FYI - the stock browser does sync bookmarks across multiple devices (syncs with Chrome on my PC).

I have to agree with [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] - the stock browser is great on this device now. I remember when the stock browser was the worst too! It's amazing what [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] has done with this device!
[Asus Transformer TF700] KinetiClutch:
Agreed my browser of choice is Stock. Purely because of it's speed, simplicity from how sbdags has implemented it.

Quick request [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] would it be possible to include the new 4.5 Gmail and updated youtube. Not sure why but seems that it's not fully rolling out yet and some have gotten it and some haven't. If it could be included in the new CROMI build that would be good.

Yes they will be included in the next update ;)

I would not mind using the stock browser but I have been using boat browser for so long that I have a fairly large bookmark list, is there any way to sync or import it with /to the stock browser?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Hmmm, the only way that I can think of is if Boat syncs to Chrome on your PC. If so, they the stock browser would also pick up those same bookmarks. But I don't think Boat syncs with Chrome (could be wrong - it's been a while since I used Boat - used to be my favorite though!)...

Anybody getting a pop up notice - ASUS KEYBOARD IS NOT SELECTED

This just happens when I first log in after system asleep or new boot.

I checked the settings and find both ASUS keyboard and ANDROID keyboard greyed ad checked greyed (can not be changed)

Is this a default in this ROM - what am I missing? I could check to not see this message again but I would rather use the ASUS keyboard. Or am I missing something else???
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Are you using the dock?
[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
You can back up your bookmarks in boat and it is saved as an html file. From there you can probably import that file into chrome and sync that way? Or see if the stock browser will let you import the saved html file.
[Asus Transformer TF700] waltnich:
Most all the time.

Ahhh, maybe the message refers to the keyboaed app that is active in tablet, and it's different from the dock keyboard???
[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
Memory card questions

I used a new 32gig microSD card for the data2sd kernel and eliminate the lag some but I've noticed when removing my tablet from the keyboard the system will not recognize the full size sd card after reattaching. The only way to get it to see the card is to reboot the system. Is this a common issue? I used the option to turn off the memory card notifications next to the clock but don't think that would have this type of effect.

Since all of the app and system information is on the microSD card, is the internal one in the tablet fine to use as pure storage or would it just slow things down again? I'd like to move my music into the internal storage since I'm losing the ability to swap out the micro card.

It's also annoying when the screen shuts off and for some reason the tablet will stop reading the SD card during music playback. It will read it again once i turn it back on but whatever song is playing will have to start from the beginning. The work around is to set the screen to not time out. I assume it's a battery saving option to turn the dock off if the screen shuts off?
[Asus Transformer TF700] waltnich:
ok - got it

all fixed
[Asus Transformer TF700] lartomar2002:
Ok, this is probably a dumb questions but how do I access the settings for the stock browser? When I launch it goes to my home page and it is full screen except for the status bar on the bottom and there is no menu button.

You must have the quick controls enabled - you should be able to touch on in the middle of the right side of the screen and a menu "wheel" will appear - from there you can disable this mode (I can't stand the full screen mode to be honest)....

Outstanding ROM, sbdags! I haven't had my TF700 for long (long time user of the og TF101) but as soon as I loaded CROMiX, I knew you had turned my already reasonably good tablet into a beast! Seriously, I can't imagine it being much better than this and I've played with lots of tabs before I bought this one. In fact, reading up on ROMs before I bought it was one of the main reasons I did - I knew your ROM was held in very high esteem. Thanks again and have a lager on me - 2LY33605BB5391601.

Many thanks mate. Donation greatly appreciated. I reckon I have out over 500 hours into cromi since picking it up. All worth it though! :D
[Asus Transformer TF700] acraigl:
Don't use the SD mod. It's not worth the (negligible) performance increase at this point. sbdags doesn't even use it (or support it) and he created this ROM -- so that should tell you something. Disabling fsync will give you the boost you're looking for,
[Asus Transformer TF700] xorob0:
It doesn't happen with cm10.1 and b2r, it may be due to an other tweak or it's because of the asus' tweaks

Ps: I'm from Belgium too and this site isn't very tablet-optimized.

Between the Asus updates and (even more so) [MENTION=518363]sbdags[/MENTION] optimizations, most of the "I/O issues" have been overcome... As you can see a lot of people are now getting great performance without the need for the data2sd mods... It's a pretty complex setup for something that isn't such a big problem anymore...

I would try CROMi-X without data2sd and go from there - I'll think you'll be pleasantly surprised!

So I just rebooted for the first time on 4.4.1 after installing the new firmware. Think I may be stuck in a bootloop. Been a few minutes now. I think this was a known issue with this version. Currently downloading 4.6.4. What should I do? Would it be ok to just boot into recovery and install 4.6.4?
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Yeah, you *should* be ok to install it right over top of 4.4.1... Only thing I'm not sure of is if you would need a bootloader upgrade first...

Worst case, you have to start with a fresh install though.

I would check your bootloader version and verify that it is the correct version (more info is on the first post in this thread).
[Asus Transformer TF700] Turin87:
After rebooting, it booted straight into the rom. I am not sure however, if this means the install of the bootlaoder was unsuccessful. How does one check the bootloader version?

Update: All of my apps are asking for superuser permission again. Is this a better indicator that the install WAS successful?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Judging by the posts here and elsewhere Data2SD seems to be creating more problems than it solves. Especially when updating your rom.

I agree with previous answers: It's not worth it anymore.

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

If you flashed a new bootloader you have to boot back into system before you flash again. Otherwise the bootloader flash will be wiped by the rom flash.

To check your bootloader version, from a powered down tab boot holding Power and Volume Down until it vibrates twice. Read the tiny script top left.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Turin87:
Yeah I knew I had to boot back into the system, but I got stuck in bootloop when I tried so I wasnt sure if maybe somehow the install was successful even still. All I did after bootloop was reboot and it went straight into system no prob
