Hello All!
My brother gave me his Asus Transformer TF101 to sell but it was heavily modified so I set about putting it back into factory state.
He had TWRP installed so I booted into that (recovery mode, volume down + power, etc.) and proceeded to do a restore. I selected the restore point and clicked "go." Everything seemed to work but now my TF never gets beyond the boot screen (the screen that says "ASUS, Inspiring Innovation..." and has the spinning circle). Obviously something went wrong with the restore and I can deal with that, however, I have a BIGGER PROBLEM now.
I cannot power down my TF. When I press and hold the power button it shuts down (the screen goes black) but then it starts right back up again. I have tried to hold the power button down for 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, etc. but it always reboots.
Can someone please let me know how I can stop my TF from rebooting over and over again?
Thank you,
Jan
P.S. The main reason why I am needing to power down is I am trying to boot into APX mode so that I can use Easy Flasher.
try vol - and power more than 15secondes. Until you get 2 icons (1 for reset 1 for boot android)

When the tf turns itself off just start holding volume-up, eventually the screen will stay blank and you are in APX mode, I've had this issue a few times, just hold volume up and it will eventually boot into apx.
Also try volup and power to hard reset then it will turn on again automatically, be sure to keep holding volume up, apx will eventually come on.
I wanted to install cynagoenmod so
1. I unlocked bootloader using HTC dev
2. I flashed cwm recovery
3. I flashed boot.img extracted from the cynagoenmod release
it was stuck in the boot-up at the HTC logo with the disclaimer text "this build is meant for developers....."
I had to run an errand so I left it as is.
when I got back it wouldn't turn on
wont blink the soft-keys after holding the power button for 10 seconds
wont boot into bootloader when holding both the vol- and power button
when connected to the charger the LED stays on orange for about a minute and turns off
only response it does a flash of white (like this like when u close the TV effect ) after holding the power button for 20 seconds
any advice would be welcome
Just keep holding the power button and also the volume down button for 20-30 seconds. It should pop into HBOOT.
If you see the screen flashing white that should mean it isn't hard bricked.

That's strange. Does your PC detect it when you connect via USB?
Plug it in and if nothing happens, press/hold all three buttons in different combinations and sequences and hopefully something should happen.

One day I went to use my tablet after a long time not using it. It was on the stock OS. And it stops at the Asus screen with the spinning circle I know sometimes this might take awhile so I let it sit for 24 hours and it still is there. I tried cold boot and reset to default and also the recovery image. With the recovery image I get a dead droid with a red ! above him. When I plug it into my computer I hear my computer detect it but I can't access it.
Guessing the OS is corrupted. Bring it back to stock again using easyflasher. You will lose all data by doing this.
You need to be in apx mode to use easyflasher. Press power and volume up for a few seconds and connect to PC. Your tablet should be recognized however the screen will stay black. Then you can use easyflasher. Good luck! Also, try to never allow the battery to go completely flat. If you will not be using it for a while power off.

it is not letting me go into apx mode. When I try turning it off it restarts and goes to the boot screen and freezes there. Is the recovery image on the SD card? I can get to the recovery so I might just put the stock zip on it and try it.
I just tried updating it and I keep getting the same dead droid and it keeps rebooting when I try to power it off so I cant enter apx
Try holding POWER and VOL UP and it should enter APX even if it isn't off first.
No matter what I try and how many times I try when I push the power button it just restarts. if I hold the Power and Volume up it restarts and sticks at the Asus screen. In the Device Manager for a description for the tablet it says "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
I had that error and it was a bad USB cable. My cable still worked with the stock charger, just not for USB (MTP/APX/ADB)
I do have 2 cables and last time I used then both did work so I know that is not a part of my problem.
You won't see anything in APX mode and may think the device is powered off. So connect it to your computer first, then try to go in APX. You should hear the computer detect the device.

I know how to get into apx mode. I have used it several times before but it will not let me. No matter what I try it keeps rebooting.

Does it still reboot when you try entering APX mode if the USB cable is disconnected from the tablet ?

yes it reboots if it is hooked to the computer or all by itself. If I try to enter apx by itself or hooked to the computer it still reboots.
If I can't get into apx does that mean that I have a brick?

Possibly, or your power / volume buttons aren't working properly / getting stuck pressed in
Might be worth taking it apart and disconnecting the battery for a while / checking buttons are working without the plastic bezel over the top of them
Check no cables have come loose causing weird behaviour

I opened it up cleaned the buttons unplugged the battery and looked for loose cables. Plugged the battery back in and rechecked for loose cables. I tried going into APX and that is a no go. I have not reassembled the unit back together yet.
So what should I do next?
I got it fixed!
I unplugged the battery plugged it back in, did a cold boot then enter apx mode

Must have been some weird bug in memory that was being kept alive by the battery
Hi,
I think I bricked my phone. I tried to root it using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
I installed CWM recovery, but when I tried to boot into recovery the screen left saying "Entering recovery.... This build is for development purpouses only etc..." Same after few reboots holding power button for ~ 10 seconds.
So I left my phone on that screen during the night, thinking maybe it takes some time to enter recovery
But in the morning the phone was dead and I can't turn it on.
The screen blinks for a second (see video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bI-gy-hhXq0&feature=youtu.be ) and thats it. Holding Power, Volume down + Power doesn't help.
Any solution for this?
when you plug your phone to a charger does the red light come on?
you need to get into bootloader again. Saw your video, but what happens when: while holding volume down you press the power button for a second (while still holding volume down until bootloader starts?
Sometimes it does, sometimes it only comes on when i hold the Power + Volume down and goes off when I release Power button, bur then comes on again after a couple of minutes...

So if I read you right, you can get into bootloader? Reflash recovery, then flash a Rom and fastboot a boot.img

No, I was talking about red light. The screen doesn't turn on at all, just a short flash.

I don't know man, maybe someone else will help out here. Hold power button for like 30 seconds. You might have to send it in to be repaired.
Hi,
My tf300t got its screen cracked so touch screen is non functional.
I'm trying to turn it off so I can open the case, but it always reboots no matter what I try!
Tried long pressing the power button for 30 seconds but it always reboot after 8 seconds.
Any suggestions? I don't want to open it up while it's on .
Can I shut it down from fastboot mode?

I remember there was a manual Power off option in TWRP (idk if it is still there). Have you tried that?

I have the stock bootloader - it says
Code:
"Adroid cardhu-user bootloader (1.00 e) released by "WW_epad_10.4.2.9-20120809" A03
I'm inclined against flashing a bootloader (only as last resort).
I am able to get into fastboot and issue fastboot commands. will that help?
"fastboot reboot" only reboots..
by the way, the device is still locked (getvar returns "unlocked: no")..

How did you turn it off if the touchscreen wasn't working? By pressing the power button would cause it to reboot endlessly. If you don't have a dock or adapter to power off properly, one thing I did before was to click the reset button (through the hole below the SD card slot) and press the power button simultaneously, then keep holding the power button for 10 seconds after releasing the reset. It did turn off the tab completely. Failing that, just pop off the back cover and turn off the service switch. The cover is not connected to anything electronic so it's ok. That'd cut off the current to the tab. It can be done, just be careful.

I didn't turn it off, that's the problem.. I got it yesterday from a guy after his screen cracked.
he gave it to me turned on and I want to replace the screen, so the only thing I can use are the hard buttons.
I only have the power adapter + usb cable.
are you sure about that reset button thing?
EDIT: found info about the "service switch": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46159071&postcount=5
EDIT2: did it! thanks graphdarnell!!
now moving to step 2 - ordering a replacement digitizer..
