the reason its not booting is probably because you didnt flash the boot.img using fastboot. that is required to get roms to boot when you are s-on.
first install the rom from recovery.
then extract the boot.img from the rom zip file(probably in the kernel/shooteru folder) then place it in the folder where you have adb,fastboot and AdbWinApi.dll which you used to unlock.
then open cmd. change directory to the folder containing adb/fastboot.
Connect your phone in bootloader mode and make your it says "fastboot usb"
then type in cmd "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
it should do a process and show that it completed.
then reboot and it should boot up.

Did as you said...its still does not boot up..
I was just trying out so i typed "adb devices" and it did not showed any attached devices
But when i type "fastboot devices" it shows "HT18FU202032 fastboot"
Can this be the problem by any chance that i cannot see any attached devices when i type adb devices??
The tutorial which you linked has a screen shot where adb decives can be seen...but thats not the case for me..i can see only fastboot devices..
Your help is appreciated !
adb wont run when you are in fastboot. in the screenshot he runs that command before booting into bootloader.
i think the problem might be that you are trying to install a GB rom.
just do the method D. in step 2 dont do the GB steps do the ICS one
---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------
flash an ICS ROM from recovery(Method B from 10 to 14)
open ICS ROM.zip and extract boot.img to a folder which contains adb, fastboot and AdbWinApi.dll
go to fastboot and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

I just read through the thread and apparently you can ignore the bootloop and continue with the methods stated to get s-off. you need to flash the jb_boot.img not the leedroid one

Hi guys!
I just unlocked my bootloader and installed CWM recovery.
I want to install epinter's JB rom.
What are the steps?
I do this:
-wipe cache
-factory reset ---> there when it is going to finish it goes to the top recovery screen and does not say that it finished successfully
after these steps I tried to install the zip but it said:
-finding update package
-opening update package
-installing update...
symlink: some symlinks failed
E:Error in /sdcard/cm....zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
What should I do?
try with redownloading rom!!
Officially corp via w8
I rebooted into cwm and worked. Now I am stuck at the Moto logo.
Can someone tell me the steps? What to wipe and what to format before flashing the zip??
solved!

how did you solve the stuck at moto screen
It usually happens when a step is overlooked. Can be resolved by retracing your steps. It happened to me once when I forgot to wipe the dalvik cache.

It can be stuck due to multiple reasons.
Perform a clean wipe/erase
Enter into fastboot by holding vol down and push power button
Release volume down and Press volume up to confirm fastboot selection.
Connect Phone with your microUSB cable to PC
Open command prompt and navigate to directory where you copied fastboot
Type these commands
fastboot devices (should display device id if your phone has successfully entered into fastboot mode)
fastboot -w (erases userdata and cache)
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase webtop
fastboot erase preinstall
fastboot reboot (make sure you get into fastboot again)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (place desired recovery - preferably CWM 5.0.2.7/romracer's)
Boot into recovery and flash the desired ROM from sdcard.
Hope this helps

First, download the latest & most stable ROM (at the moment), including the ROM, GAPPS, recovery-cwm-CM10-A3.img & formatsd.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864774
Actually, you just need to flash the recovery through fastboot, other else can done in the recovery.
1. Copy all the ROM, GAPPS & formatsd.zip into your memory card. Then insert it into your Folio.
2. Run command prompt, make sure your tablet is connected with your PC in fastboot mode.
To erase existing/stock recovery. In command prompt, go into the fastboot program folder and type the following commands
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
3. Copy the CWM Recovery into your fastboot adb folder.
To flash CWM Recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm-CM10-A3.img
fastboot reboot
4. Enter Recovery. Before you begin, wipe everything (except external_sd) in the CWM Recovery, after wiped, you can install the 3 zip files one by one. After finish, just reboot system.
Full procedure also stated in the link I provided, please scroll down.
Hope that helps you.
So did above solution help? I had a similar issue, and I resolved it by just booting the recovery image from fastboot, i.e.
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Once you get into recovery you can flash an image which will in most cases flash a recovery image along with it. If not, you can try to flash the recovery image again once you've done a full wipe from the booted recovery.
OK
i tried to put the 2.6 TWRP on i think it was for the incorrect bootloader (10.6.1.8) so its asking for a password and can't mount anything. bootloader freezes whenever i do anything through fastboot .Adb can see the device in twrp .
PLS help !!!
Any one ...any help
What i did to fix this :
use windows 7 not 8.1 install drivers
I used "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" --- google it
and using part of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase cache
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system c:\adb\blob --------- gives me an error uploading the blob !!!!!
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot ----did not respond --- have to use hardware buttons
When i restart i didn't have recovery at this point just boot in to fastboot menu (i thought i killed my asus totally ))
what i did after :
I FLASH BOOTLOADER ON THE LINK
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23060877490002899 (unzipp it and there is blob<--- i copy it in the abd/fastboot folder)
fastboot flash boot blob
reboot and go in to recovery to confirm that is Hairybean TWRP 2.5 (no enter your password any more ihaaa)
i download twrp_tf201t_kang_2.8.5.1_signed.zip (unzipp it and there is boot.blob<--- i copy it in the abd/fastboot folder) from ... https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934539154
and
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery boot.blob
( I found that.... fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxxx ........... works ONLY if you do ..... fastboot erase recovery ......... first !!!!! i tryed flashing even my original twrp 2.4.4 and its asked me for the password again ..i try so many recovery version.....JB or ICS ...TWRP and CWM you name it ..just this and Hairybean TWRP 2.5 didn't asked for a password )
After ... fastboot flash recovery boot.blob ..... fastboot reboot .....worked ---- restart in to recovery ---- and i did not have that annoying "enter your password" msg any more !!!
than using part from :http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-prime/development/rom-katkiss-5-1-tf201-22-t3080892
Go to twrp/wipe/format data then type yes
It takes about 70 minutes to format
Make sure that your battery is full
Do Not interrupt format(if you do, it will brick)
After it's done go to Wipe//Advanced Wipe//Select Data
Tap “Repair or Change File System”//”Change File System//F2FS
Swipe to Change
Wipe dalvik cache, system, cache, data, internal storage
reboot in to twrp
At that point MY pc can see my tf201 internal storage in TWRP no problem so i just copy zips in there ....... didn't use sd card
Flash KatKiss-5.1.1_TF201_030.zip
Flash Supersu.zipin
Flash Gapps.zip

My TF201 was fine with stock 4.1.1 installed. I didn't have to enter a password to open it. Pressing power button was enough to reach the home screen.
I decided to install Nougat so I followed the thread "from stock to nougat" step by step (which is a great threat btw) but, of course, something went wrong.
I need help with getting the device out of the current status, which is :
- Only TWRP 2.6.3.0 is installed. I press Down + Power but no '3 icons' appear anymore.
- When I enter TWRP I get asked for a password. I highly doubt that I've (ever) set a password but somehow the device is now encrypted (?) / password protected. I can bypass the password screen by simply clicking 'cancel' but still can't mount anything inside TWRP, not system or external sd card, nor can I unzip / flash a Rom.
Before TWRP (this morning) HairyBean recovery was installed, but I couldn't flash anything there either, it ended always in an "can't unzip" error.
The good news is when connected to Win10 I have a working fastboot and adb connection !
What should be the next step to solve this (and to reach Nougat) ? How can I get the 3 icons back ?
You have the wrong TWRP installed for Nougat v7.1, you have to be on TWRP 2.8.0.0 or higher. You should flash the highest version available to date. LATEST TWRP: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767150802
The BIG question is, what BOOTLOADER are you on? I think you have to be on bootloader version 10.6.1.27.1 to get the TWRP to work.

Last bootloader is from the HairyBean-Upgrade zip :
Upgrade+Hairybean+2.31+(4.2.1)+Bootloader+&+TWRP+( 2.5).zip
But again, I couldn't flash anything either. It all ended with "can't unzip" error.
Right now, I can't boot into fastboot. The device always boots into TWRP 2.6.3.0.
I did the steps on this page : [HOW-TO] Unbrick your Transformer Prime (or not) by Diamondback
- Type: "adb shell"
- You should see a "#" now
- Once you have that "#", please type: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 bs=100 count=1 and press [Enter]
- Now type: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=16 count=1 and press [Enter]
- Exit the shell and reboot your Prime via CWM
- It should not reboot to CWM automatically now. It either boots your ROM or is stuck at the splash screen. If it is stuck, boot to recovery and install any ROM you want.

but the result is the same, the device ONLY boots into TWRP (and asks for a password).
Without being able to boot into fastboot, how can I install the latest TWRP ?
So holding the VOL bottom down when turning on the tablet doesn't bring to the screen with: [RCK] [ANDRIOD] [WIPE DATE] choices in the middle?

No. But I can send "adb reboot bootloader", and then it comes up after reboot.
So I've tried 2-3 times to flash recovery with :
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.0-1-tf201t.img
but it always hangs at "writing 'recovery' ".
The device freezes.
Any suggestions what I should do now ?

Btw, bootloader is "WW_epad-10.6.1.27.1-20130711".
Have to tried renaming the TWRP.img file "TWRP.blob" then;
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery c:\adb\TF201t\TWRP.blob (you will need the to input the location of the file on you computer, that is where I flashed mine from) also did you wipe the recovery partition?

Two questions before I totally brick my TF201 :
1) how to I wipe recovery partition ? (note: In fastboot mode, is it the third 'wipe data' icon ? does that wipe recovery, too ?)
2) the page says "THIS LINK IS FOR TF201 RUNNING JB BOOTLOADER ONLY! DO NOT USE IT IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHAT YOU ARE RUNNING STOP NOW!".
How can I be sure what bootloader I'm on ?
(the text at the top of the page where the 3 icons are says :
HTML:
Key driver not found.. Booting OS
Android cardhU-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "WW_epad-10.6.1.27.1-20130711" A03
Starting Fastboot USB download protocol
WW_epad-10.6.1.27.1 - 20130771 A03 is the JB bootloader, same one I'm on. You just have to wipe the recovery partition using adb command;
fastboot erase recovery
Then
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery c:\TWRP.blob
Once you get the TWRP from the link working you can flash the new ROM using the TWRP recovery console.

I've tried many things, but right now when I try to enter recovery it says in red "unrecoverable bootloader error (0x0000000)"
fastboot erase system <- this end with an OK
fastboot erase recovery <- this doesn't end at all, command never ends
fastboot erase misc <- same as "erase recovery", doesn't end
flashing any blob, or any file doesn't end. Flashing blob says "sending.." and then doesn't continue, it is stuck there.
I also put the zip from inside the Asus blob zip onto an SD card, but since I don't have a recovery I can't start the process. -> unrecoverable bootloader error
So whatever I tried, it doesn't succeed. Either the tablet is stuck (the green RCK icon stops blinking) or it does nothing at all, for example after issuing a "fastboot flash recovery.." command, it just blinks the whole time and nothing happens.
The only successful commands are (so far) "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and "fastboot erase system".
Any suggestions are welcome..
Ok, good news, I have TWRP 3.1.0-1 installed.
I had the SD Card inside the tablet. the "unrecoverable bootloader error" was on screen.
The filename inside SD card is "EP201_SDUPDATE.zip".
So I did a Volume Down Button + Power button long press (as I did so many times before) and rebooted the tablet.. and somehow it recognized the zip file and started updating the system.
So, an Android robot appeared with a scroll-bar beneath it, and the the Android robot changed to a dead one with a red X on it.
After rebooting the tablet again I saw 4 icons, so that is the ICS bootloader, right ? at the top it says now "WW_epad-10.4.2.18-20121122" A03
Nevertheless I just flashed the latest TWRP through fastboot command.
Next I'll try to install a custom Rom.
But before that, do I need HairyBean recovery or bootloader first ?
Edit : I followed the steps here and everythning went fine so far. The tab is rebooting right now.
Thanks for your help !!

You know need to install the JB bootloader but you're fine with TWRP,
The correct bootloader for the ROM is: WW_epad-10.6.1.27.1 - 20130771 A03
