[Q] TWRP in a start-loop on my TF700 topic

With the latest version of TWRP (2.8.5.0) I installed that zombi 5.02 rom a few days ago. It was running VERY slow, so I went back into TWRP a few hours ago and figured I would clean up the device and then re-install the rom.

So I used TWRP to wipe the device clean (I selected every partition to wipe, which I suspect is what the problem is). After doing this, I ran the install of the rom which seemed to run fine (although oddly, it seemed to install too fast, as opposed to when I installed it before).

Once I rebooted the device, I saw a quick message about a missing partition, and then it booted into TWRP recovery. but here is where the problem started. TWRP loads as far as you see the blue curtain background with test "teamwin" and then the screen clears for a sec, and then the blue curtain background appears again with the "teamwin" text.

This repeats forever. I can't get it to stop doing this.

I booted into fastboot, and via adb I re-installed the 2.8.5.0 twrp blob file. No errors during the install at all, however after rebooting the device, I am having the exact same issue.

I've tried re-installing twrp 3 times this way, but no matter what I do, I cannot get twrp to get out of this boot cycle.

It is odd that I can install twrp via adb over and over, yet it still has the same problem as before.

Even if i messed up by wiping every partition, why would the TWRP install succeeed, yet the program not run?

Anybody have an idea as to what I can do in order to get twrp back up and running? And if I do, is there something else I need to do to get all the partitions back up, or in theory will installing a rom re-create everything as needed?

Thanks for any help you guys can provide!

[Q] I think my TF700 is dying topic

I have been using this thing almost daily since I got it. It was rooted within a day of getting it and I've been running sbdags' ROMS on it exclusively. Many builds were lightning fast. Not so much lately. I am not getting the reported "buttery slickness" that others are getting. This has been on a few builds, so I'm posting here, as I dare not blame the ROM.

One of the biggest issues I see lately are how every app loads slow. Touches are slow in everything. Some touches take minutes to do the function requested. I know the touches are registering, as I have "show touches" on. Nav bar touches are the worst.

I thought about doing a full wipe, everything. Before I do that I want to backup everything, including the internal. When I connected it to my PC tonight, drivers took a minute to find and install, but the PC now sees the device. When I try to copy out the internal to my PC, it takes 30+ minutes to "calculate" the file size, then it only copies out one or two folders before a failure. Tried 3 different PCs, on more than 4 build+kernel configurations.

Is this thing on its last leg?
