I am so glad someone's finally getting around to doing a cleaned up stock. I'll give it a few more pages of big reports/revs and flash it (my TF300T is a daily driver, so no experimenting for me).

I got the recovery from [CWM][5.5.0.4] ClockworkMod Recovery for TF300T + ROOT as well as I've tried to flash the recovery from:
www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

I got the error when I tried to flash any current custom ROM and nightly as well.

That website doesn't have a recovery for the TF300. Which recovery did you flash from the Clockwork site?

thx for all the answers.
I cant flash anithing with fastboot or adb, cause I cant get fastboot or ADB to work.
i din´t flash via Rom Manager. And I have the right CWM fpr the tf300. There was no problem for the last weeks. I testet all available Roms and builds out there and nothing happened there.
Problem startet right after I flashed Stock. i was able to get into stock and everything worked fine. I´ll reflashed CWM via fastboot and got back into stock. But after I´ll shut down my pad the bootloop was there. Now flashing the .30 from Asus Asus again is working fine but it seems that something is missing there, cause i always come back to CWM recovery. Normally after flashing stock, there is the Asus sign with the bar under it, but that is not happening. Just back to CWM.

Regarding .29 .17 fws
Format system and wipe data
And your all set

Backing up with titanium first
Or whatever your backup app choice is

Best way to apply the 2.0 update is to install it right after the first install without let the machine reboot,or let the machine reboot after first install and then reboot to recovery and install the update.
Or it doesnt have any matter at all?

Step 3 of Install Instructions says : "-3.format system under mounts and storage"

Never done that before. Would this remove my CWM backup or remove my Titanium Backups ?

I want to hold on to my titanium backups in order to be able to restore bloatware that I'd still want to keep (like maybe ASUS widgets or so - don't know exactly what has been removed)

Maybe there's possibility to upload a zip with the removed APK's ?

Thanks - I'll be trying this soon....

Two issues:

- If I flash 2.0 without rebooting.1.2. get into the nice X logo forever, have to reboot, and flash 2.0

- When doing so ( flashing after a reboot of 1.2, I lost my ROOOOOTTT and cannot gain it back in the usual way (by flashing root-signed.zip


Soooo, back to you

Was on .29. In CWM I formatted the system under mounts and storage. Then I wiped data factory reset.

Flashed the first file [Asu-Ics_R-1.2 -bootbeatsu.zip]. Then rebooted. Skipped all set up. Back in CWM flashed the second 2.0 update file. All successfully. Device boots. All looks good until...

I can't get Titanium BU to get root.

Superuser is installed and works. Even updated it. Root Explorer gains root. I have uninstalled and re-installed it. Root fails the moment I am in the app. Any suggestions before I flash by backed up ROM back? Need Titanium to work.

Thanks by the way for the ROM.

Root was not lost. Titanium apparently needs a new su binary

Two fixes

Go to superuser
Preferences amd tap update binary
Hit it twice





Open titanium hit problems ?
Then something about fix su binary then reboot

Or just open titanium hit problems and update..su its def not gone

I flashed both and followed these steps...

Soooo, back to you

Flash 1.2 before you flash 2.0. 2.0 is an update and is only a little more than 10 mbs. When I tried to restore my backups with ti backup it stated that i was not rooted. You will need to go into the su app and update from within the app. Then you will be fine . Also update busybox as well. Once you flash 1.2, reboot. Then go back into recovery and flash 2.0.

    HOW TO INSTALL


    Code:
    [indent][center]
    
    
    Should be able to come from any rom now   .. returning to stock is an outdated method   
    (Sorry forgot to put this)
    Thanks to scrosler bc without this youd still need to return to stock)
    [strike](IF YOUR COMING FROM CM9 OR AOKP YOU MUST RETURN TO STOCK)
    (latest stock is recommended
    Which will in turn make it necessary to flash clockwork again...Sorry)[/strike]
    
    
    PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT ROM JUST IN CASE
    ALSO MAKE SURE TO PLACE THE ROM ON YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD. BEFORE WIPING.
    CLOCKWORK  DOESN'T SUPPORT EXTERNAL SD..THANKS< 
    
    
    -1.you must be unlocked (bootloader) 
    and you must have clockwork or twrp
    
    -2 reboot to recovery
    
    -3.format system  under mounts and storage
    
    -4.wipe data factory reset
    
    -5. choose install zip 
    
    -6. install and reboot
     (install may take up to 5 minutes this is normal)
    
    -7. Once Rebooted i usually skip the initial google setup wizard
    and finish it once the pad gets to the android desktop
