Well I have the device here now. It doesn't boot past the splash screen.

In the bootloader it says this in the upper left corner:

Code:
Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "WW_epad-10.6.1.8-20130225" A03
Key driver not found... Booting OS

Starting Fastboot USB download protocol

Whenever I try to go into RCK (with the WW_epad-user-10.6.1.8.zip in the root), it boots into recovery, starts the update, the blue bar fills quickly to full within 1 second and immediately I get the Android on its back with the red exclamation mark.

Any suggestions from here?

Well since it said
Code:
Starting fastboot USB download protocol
I just went ahead and extracted the 2nd zip, hooked up the TF300T to my pc and fastboot recognized it :confused: So I issued
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
command. It just sat there, when after a minute or so it prompted me with
Code:
sending "system" <800923kb>...
Now it just hangs there (cursor blinking)

Curious to what's next


>>> wel it's been sending for 20 mins now, nothing much is happening :(

>>> 2nd attempt succeeded! but resulted in a bootloop again...:eek:

trying again...

Which unlocker tool are you using? the one from asus' website is for 4.2 ONLY.

V8 is for 4.2 only. I am using the V7 for ICS & JB. It's giving me the "network error". I'm trying to register the device now - but that Asus server is too busy now too :eek::laugh:

Scroll down and it's there :)

I'm registered now.

Frustrating part is, that fastboot won't let me flash because bootloader is locked (I assume?), yet earlier I managed to fastboot flash system :confused:

I am having some trouble here. I bought the TF300T pad for my wife several months ago. She is no longer using it so I decided to take it over. I wanted to unlock, root, and install a custom rom as I have done on my Galaxy S3. After a lot of searching and reading I finally got it unlocked and rooted. The problem is, I can not seem to get a rom to install and boot. It installs fine but will not boot. Just stuck on the Asus loading screen.

A little background on the procedure I took. First I found that I needed to unlock the bootloader before I could root. So I went to the Asus download site and got the V7 tool. I installed it and the pad says that it is unlocked. So I try to boot into recovery to do the rooting. When I get there I have the RCK but no USB icon. I boot into RCK but get the dead android. I do some more searching and finally get an answer. I just needed to stay on that initial screen to flash TWRP recovery. I also let TWRP root the device. Now it seems I cannot get a rom to boot. I have tried CM10 stable, CM10.1 nightly, and a couple others but cannot get a single one to boot.


Any ideas or advice would be helpful at this point.
