I have tried to find something on TF101 APX mode but have turned out empty handed. I know that if you Hold down volume-up and power button then TF101 will go into APX mode (not to be confused with 'powered off').
So... I heard somewhere that this mode is useless as of now for the Transformer. Is this true? If not what can we do with it? (Rom flashing? Rooting?).
I have been told that pwr+vol down is APX Mode but that just goes to recovery and/or data wipe. When you hold pwr+vol up it appears to be powered off but when connected to a PC the computer tries to find drivers for "APX". So if Vol down is APX mode then what is Vol Up?
Apx mode is useless right now until we get the nvflash files

I was NVFlash'ing my gTab earlier and stupidly I didn't have all the required .img files in the flash directory (I was missing system.img).
After the NVFlash failed I tried to NVFlash again before rebooting the gTab but it did not respond. After restarting it, I am unable to get into recovery mode (vol + and power), boot loader (vol - and power) mode, and it also just sits on a black screen when using the power button directly.
I have a microSD card and I was wondering if I can use that to boot from / restore the original image to the internal ROM?
Otherwise... I think I have a $250 paperweight =(
Any help is appreciated.
My site. Code red.
Dont fret. The gtablet is unbrickable..... Seriously. Unless you are voltmodding. Disconnect the power to the battery pack internally or let it sit til it dies. Then with fingers on the buttons that will get you into apx mode, plug in the usb cable to the comp. Then plug in the power cord. The first bit of juice it gets will allow it to get into apx mode for flashing. You wont see it so listen for the sound of it connecting on your pc. Nvflash away.

you mean apx mode, hold down power, volume up and down while turning your tf101 on.
The TF101 does not support fastboot.
It supports something called APX-mode where you can use nvflash to flash the device. It's similar, but not the same.
When starting in APX mode as descibed in post above, screen will remain blank, and you wont be able to see that anything has happened.
Listing USB devices should list a device from "NVidia Corp" though.
This should give you something to work on:

APX Mode = Volume Up & Power when the tablet is off
by my divine stupidity i installed that on click transformwr reboot app, on my 300t and its stuck on the asus screen, i cant get it to go to fastboot or to bootloader to use terminal, i think it is going into apx because when i do it i can see m6 computer intall the drivers but apx is useless for because i never did that nvflash backup.. . .. its currently on my office desk on the asus logo running the battery out, i tried rest button volume down, power volume down, power volume up, i cant get it into fastboot or recovery running out of ideas please help
My a700 is soft-bricked, and after searching around (fastboot isn't able to flash anything, so my partitions are likely destroyed,) it looks like I can possibly fix it with APX or nVflash mode. Here's the thing: I'm not sure how to get into those modes. I've tried holding reset and power for APX mode, but nothing happens. As for nvflash, I'm clueless. Does anyone know anything that could help?
I'm afraid your in the same situation as myself, mine is also bricked to apx mode. Nvflash is of no use to us a700 owners as Acer will not release the sbk (secure boot key) that we would need to create blob files etc. Also you will not see any visual indications of apx mode and you will only be aware of it when you are plugged into the PC via a USB cable as your PC will attempt to load apx drivers. I have tried all combinations of resetting and even opened the a700 and disconnected the battery but to no avail.

Ok, I at least figured out how to boot to APX mode, but now I need to find out if that's any use to me or not. I decided, in my sleepy 2AM stupor, to get creative with the button combinations. I held in BOTH volume buttons simultaneously, and it worked! Nothing came on on the tablet, but Windows saw it and said that it couldn't install an APX driver. Now... where to go from here, I wonder?
So I was doing something on my tablet, and it shut down.
I tried to reboot it and it was stuck.
I thought i had my rom on it (KatKiss) so i did a factory reset and tried to flash it but then i saw i deleted it when i flashed it at first.
So i thought ill just use EasyFlasher and get it back up and running.
Then I tried to get into APX mode and failed.
Volup + Power = Nothing
It just powers on the tablet and it stays there at the Asus logo.
I tried to hold it for 20+ seconds, nothing.
USB is plugged into the tablet, not the dock.
Tried to use sdcard to flash rom on it, cwm cant mount sdcards...
So if anyone could help it would be great
CWM bricked your tablet most likely - you should be running TWRP Recovery for KatKiss ROMs
You need to get the tablet into APX and get EasyFlasher working - APX should still work, nothing appears on the TF screen in APX mode, only way you know it is working is USB connect sound / device connected notification on PC
Keep in mind - APX is a black screen. The only way to know you are in APX is to see if a PC detects an APX device.

I know APX is just a black screen, but even if i try to do it while usb is plugged in it just reboots to Asus logo.
You sure your volume up button is working ok ?
Try removing the plastic bezel around the edge of the tablet and press the actual micro-buttons under the silver ones you normally press

Make sure you have the correct drivers for APX mode. I got mine from x3maniac's Tubuntu - One Click Installer for Windows

In the package, there are the drivers and also a flashing program(NVFlash). You can also use this. Even have a APX mode detected status at the top so you don't have to do the guessing work that it's in APX or not.
P/s: Just to confirm, to go into APX mode 1) Turn on your tablet(not necessary to wait till it boots) 2) Hold the power and volume up button until it shuts down and keep holding the buttons until you see it is detected as APX mode on your computer.
APX mode is from a powered off state:
Hold Volume Up & Power until PC recognises it
Done
unplug and boot apx
I usually boot apx and then plug in the usb shortly after. Also note that occasionally a grounding issue occurs (happens with my bull**** Dell Venue). Run a piece of metal across the usb pins while the tablet is off and try again after ensuring the device is charged.
