[Asus Transformer TF700] qzmicro:
Thanks for the reply. I'll try and be more concise...

Hello,

First of all, I'd like to say thank you. I am all over the place. I will attempt to be more detailed and concise with my wording. Here are my responses below:

I am familiar with the difference. I have not used nor flashed CyanogenMod. I have indeed installed CWM on recovery and can still do so. I just can't boot into recovery without using the dreded WIPE option on my bootloader. Once I use this, it restarts in CWM and I can use it (still fails to install anything on system though.)

I have 2 options for my bootloader when I boot into it, fastboot(USB Icon) and wipe (I think we all know this one.) That's it. This is part of the reason why I can't get to recovery mode without using the WIPE option. (I stayed away from the wipe optoin for weeks until I was convince there was nothing else to try. Once I tried this, I was able to boot into recover with CWM or TWRP. TWRP however ONLY runs some sort of script and then reboots again. CWM allows me to use it. Hope this makes sense. Please let me know if I should clarify further.

I do not. Since I first installed TWRP, ran a TWRP backup and installed the custom 4.4.2 (I believe) rom I have not seen any other options.

I have gone over multiple times but I am willing to start again. I show ASUS Android Device in Device Manager for Windows 8.1 64-bit. (I have tried flashing many times on Windows 7 32-bit and Linux 32-bit both on USB 2.0. No luck, same issues, same results.

I have no clue how to check the bootloader version without getting into Android. My bootloader doesn't seem to show it on the upper left hand side. Do you know how I can get it?

I have tried TWRP 3.2.1.0, TWRP 2.6.3.2, CWM 6.0.4.7 and Phil's CWM based recovery for the TF700. So far, none have been able to flash a custom ROM again nor the stock rom when I use recovery GUI for them. Please advise.

Also, it seems I am able to write to any partition with fastboot except for system. When I write to the system partition my tablet shows red text on the screen that states "the command flash:system failed 0x170003 or something similar. Fastboot shows a failed: (remote() error after trying to write to the partition. Someone told me my boot loader was the problem, but I have no idea how to change it without using the 'staging' or 'flash system commands.'

I'm not sure if this matters but I thought I'd post it. When I run fastboot -w it fails saying that the file system is not supported. When I run fastboot erase userdata or cache. It seems to work without any issues. Here is a sample of the output I get:

c:\adb>fastboot erase userdata
erasing 'userdata'...
OKAY [ 10.093s]
finished. total time: 10.093s

c:\adb>erase cache
Could Not Find c:\adb\cache

c:\adb>fastboot erase cache

formatting 'cache' partition...
Erase successful, but not automatically formatting.
File system type not supported.
OKAY [ 0.001s]

c:\adb>

When I try to use fastboot to flash the stock firmware using the staging command, I get this on my command prompt:

c:\adb>fastboot -w flash staging blob
sending 'staging' (800927 KB)...
OKAY [139.757s]
writing 'staging'...
FAILED (remote: ()
finished. total time: 140.900s

c:\adb>

on my tablet it reads in red text failed to process command flash:staging error 0x170003. I have to do a cold boot to get it back up to fastboot mode.
