[Transformer TF300T General] geno_shy:
hi there!

I'm still new here but for the last week i've been browsing this forum for information regarding the android thingie. First of all, i am a complete noob when comes to android device but i need the asus transformer that i got from my office to work for my entertainment. the later jelly bean 4.2 does not support the games i wanted to play so i thought well the heck lets do this sucker. how hard it would be right?

Well, for a truly noob like me it was really hard... i mean really hard.

1. unlocking the device took me almost a day. i did not use the method that was given but i get the job done and i was like "ok this will work..."

2. trying to do a fastboot.

- it took me like 6 hours to figure it out. (or more i think...). changing from one PC to another and still couldn't get it to communicate into fastboot. later on i manage to get into fastboot mode but i can't open it directly from there. so some browsing and stuff i learn to use CMD and it get me to communicate on fastboot mode.

3. installing TWRP

-this is not that hard but i do always get the FAILED error, change my USB port and Voila! everything now is in place. Just when i think things got easier.... NOOOO....

4. Backup

- it took me a while but you need to use microSD card which I'm ashamed to tell you guys that i didn't know it exist on the TF300T. went out and bought the card and smiling to myself thinking "yeah, this will be a breeze"... well for some sort of weird reason, I can't backup my data and last ditch I thought "well yeah fudge this backup I'm going backup-less..." I kinda regret it for the last 4 days.

5. format, wipe, format, wipe, format

- yeah you guess it! for the last 4 days I've been wiping, formatting again and again and again and again. everytime i tried to push the either .zip files on the micrSD that i bought it keep telling me its corrupt... so i went back and forth formatting and directly downloading it to my SDcard. for 4 days I've been doing it. i thought the TWRP was the culprit so i've change every TWRP I can download it (from the recommended TWRP, to KANG TWRP to the latest TWRP) and still i will get the error .zip file and its random, either its going to be from the ROM or the Gapps but SuperSU does not have that kind of problem

6. i think i got it but......

- so i thought yeah why not try doing it one at a time, so i did the ROM 1st. for like 50th time the ROM got a green light and i was happy... so i rebooted it. waited for like 3 hours and nothing happened.... NOTHING... just a bootloop and i thought yeah this isn't working. i got that situation a couple of times but its seems to be on the bootloop.

7. I was giving up

- no backup, no nothing... i was on the verge of giving up. I'm at my wit's end, 4 days of doing the same thing and encounter the same problem. i back trace over and over again to where i did wrong. Googling if i can get the answer. i have not had a proper sleep for the last week thinking, trying to do it. even if i did it the result was always the same.

8. A miracle happened

- when i was on KANG TWRP, i noticed that it has another SD card slot which was on the keyboard. a big SD card. my last ditch effort and i do have a 2gb SD card from 2010 canon camera that was seldom use so i thought "doesn't hurt to try right?" download the files i needed directly to the big SD card, format and wipe it again (for the 100th time)

installed the ROM... Success! i was like okay i know the second one will end up in error.

installed the Gapps.... Success! I was like "hmmm interesting"

installed the superSU... Success! i thought "wow this is the 1st time"

thou i didn't put my hopes too high since i got a couple of bootloop last time so i wipe the delvik thingie and reboot it and thinking yeah its going to be on bootloop... NEY! NEY!

the freaking logo comes out and for the 1st time in 4 sleepless days i see the light.... my eyes were gleaming again with joy and hope...

wait for like 3-4 minutes and WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM! It works! it really works!!! waited for a while and try rebooting again and still works! fudge yeah!

oh do you remember the game i wanted to play? still laggy as hell but the sense of accomplishment is ways to high for me than the game itself... well its still playable and the TF300T get hot as hell.

After the sweet taste of victory for a freaking noob like me, i did a post-mortem on where did i do wrong...

-i followed all the guide (not really.. some part i didn't do what i was told to do but i got the result it needed) so i didn't change anything EXECPT for the SDcard....

Which beg me to ponder.... the microSD card is a class10 and a newer card. the big SDcard was an old one from 2010. could that be the culprit? or the microSD card was corrupt or the slot somehow damage or something? I don't know. frankly i will never know.

Anyways enough about my ramblings and stuff... i like to thank djibe89 for the detailed instructions (thou i still screwed up a lot) and also timduru for the ROMs and the stuff he do. my hats to both of you.

thank you again from the bottom of my heart and merry xmas!
