Directions
After doing this Your Phone This Will BeFactory Reset
1) Download The backup i made here Sorry this has a Custom Boot animation rest is stock.
Extract it to a folder on your SDcard dont just copy it there.
Im going to Assume everyone at this point has ADB and Fastboot installed if not follow the instructions here then come back
2) Download TWRP recovery to your PC
Download Stock Recovery for later use.
Powerdown Phone
Press and hold (Power button + Camera Button) at the menu use volume down until you get to AP Fastboot Press Volume up to select it
Hook Phone to pc via usb cable
Open a command prompt from within your SDK/Platform-tools folder
install trwp
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP_Recovery_Filename_you_downloaded.img
Unhook Phone from PC when Finished Flashing should only take 1 minute or less.
Hit power - device turns off. Hold vol up + power, then release power. When you see it turn on, release vol up. You should now be in TWRP!
Now first thing Press Backup and make a backup of your current setup to SDcard.
3) Now somehow move the Backup you downloaded and Extracted in step one to your TWRP backup folder on your SDcard
will be something like
Make a new folder for BACKUP_NAME dont overwrite the backup you made
Code:
TWRP/BACKUPS/SERIALNUM/RESTORE_MY_PHONE/files_here
4) Power off Phone
Reboot into Recovery (Power Button + Volume Up) Choose Restore button this time choose Restore and Choose the Recovery the you downloaded.

If all went as planned you will boot up to a factory reset phone thats ready to download and install the OTA with no problems
and sorry the backup has a Custom boot animation i forgot to remove
-Bryan
Worked as expected. Thank you.
This would be good for recovering from a soft brick as well, maybe this could be our first official sticky?
-Saint
Thank you so much for your help!

So frustrated with Motorola right now.

So... Don't update? I'm still on the original firmware, I don't see any benefit to updating.
Are you taking the update with any toggle mods, root (I.e. Superuser.apk installed), deodexed framework, battery 1% mods, power menu mod, custom boot logo, animation, etc? I never had problems taking the update with stock rom/recovery, unrooted, with no mods installed. I used this guide to restore stock when I was softbricked and bootlooping and the update worked after restoring stock recovery.
Sent from my XT897 using xda app-developers app
screen comes like for a millisecond and then this " starting services" logo doesn't go at all...it just continues forever
any help would be appreciate .

Thank you! Fixed soft brick after a bad system.img flash.
Still wont update. i get a dead android logo after about 30 seconds into the update, then reboots to "The software update failed!"
this is a bit outdated now that we have working RSD Lite files follow the instructions here and use the supplied files for your carrier Sprint or cspire.

Hi. I'm trying to figure this out, but the link for stock recovery you posted is dead.
So I want to clarify what you wrote above... are you saying to follow the instructions here (first post in this thread) but use the recovery.img from one of the zip files in that other link (i.e. asanti_c_sprint-user-4.1.2-9.8.2Q-122_XT897_FFW-5-6-release-keys-cid9.xml.zip)?
Do I need to use "RSD Lite" for something? You didn't mention it in your instructions, but it's mentioned a lot in that other thread...

You can use the RSD Lite file to return to stock the method in this thread was back before we had working RSD files
To sum everything up:
1. My rom didn't work so I decided to find a new one :good:
2. I read and understand that it's much easier using fastboot
3. I was flashing the official rom when the antivirus requested a reboot
4. I forgot the flashing, and just clicked on reboot :silly: :crying:
The screen remains black when I try to boot it up :crying:
The only sign of life is when I'm charging the light is lighting and "APX" is showing in the device manager on pc with a yellow triangle, I haven't understand what "APX" stand for yet so please explain
(My bootloader was unlocked and I flashed twrp 2.5.5 just before I did this)
Do you have any tips for me? Or is the device bricked and have to be sent for service?
Please help me :fingers-crossed:
Edit: This is wrong section I know, can anyone move it to the Q&A please?

Apx is a method provided by the cpu manufacture for recovery. Due to the way asus has handled locking the unit apx is only available if nvflash is installed while on ICS (4.0).
Reset may be a good option for you. Power on unit. Hold volume down and insert a small paperclip to into into the reset hole. This may get you into the bootloader.
Reset: A small hole about 25mm or 1inch below the sdcard slot.
Note: If this fails you could do the same but hold volume up and hope.
Beyond this running the battery down has worked for some or remove the back cover and disconnect the battery. Leave it disconnected for thirty minutes, then reconnect.
Also see my signature for other methods to get into the bootloader. Don't bother with apx as it is useless for us.
We are looking for any change in the unit. With a change may come use of adb, fastboot, or recovery.
Try do each thing in turn and repeat this sequence twice more.
Thanks for the explanation and fir the tips! I'm going to try this

It doesn't seem that any of the following work, but I haven't tried the battery pull thing, because I see that it's a sticker over the cover that says that the warrenty is void if removed. If I send it for service will the guys know that I have unlocked it, and then void the warranty?

I understand. If still in warranty I wouldn't remove it either.
I'm sorry that is all I have for your situation.
Lads, let me join your conversation. I've almost same problem, probably different root cause, but same summary:
1. Originally I downloaded JB 4.2 from support.asus.com source
2. Tablet got reflashed & worked as normal, but I lost roots which I had earlier, therefore I decided to get root privs again.
3. So, I went into TWRP web-site & downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300tg-JB.blob blob file & via ADB was able to flash TWRP 2.5 onto my TF300T, but...
4. ...somehow TWRP doesn't let me to mount neither system, not SD-card, nothing. And currently
5. I think I'm bricked (& my TF300T too). When I press power button - tablet switches on & gets straight into TWRP, where I've only option to power it down or reboot TWRP tells me "are you sure? No OS installed".
6. When I try to switch tablet into bootload (with volume -) writing "The Device is Unlocked" shortly blinks slightly brighter, kind of trying to get into bootloader, but gets into TWRP anyway.
Any help, please! I know how Donate button works!
P.S. Because I very new writer (but really old reader) of XDA - I can't incert outside links...

Which tablet do you have? You show TF300T but using TF300TG twrp.
The bootloader changed again with 4.2 firmware and requires twrp especially for that version. I have been told the openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob does not work properly so you should have used openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob if you have a tf300t.
We need to break the cycle of going into twrp and only twrp.
Let's try to use twrp for that purpose. While in twrp select reboot while holding volume down.
If that fails to make a change while in twrp type adb reboot bootloader.
If that makes no change type fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot-bootloader.
If there is still no change try the reset while holding volume down.
Reset: A small hole about 25mm or 1inch below the sdcard slot. Use a small paperclip to insert into the hole and press gently while holding volume down.
Dear Friend! :good: That what makes difference between you - old member & me - amatuer. Yes, I loaded ...TG version of TWRP onto my ..T tablet. Bad words aren't allowed in XDA forum, otherwise I'd call myself with proper name. Anyway,
I tried to reboot from TWRP, held volume - & had no success. It loaded into TWRP again.
Then tried to reboot with command adb reboot bootloader, as you mentioned - my Windows7 PC doesn't see tablet, showing Transformer with yellow ! sign. And I tried fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot-bootloader command, ADB is saying <waiting for device> forever & nothing happens. so I stopped here so far, waiting for your advise...

No bad words needed. We all make mistakes. I them pointed out for future reference in case you were not aware.
First you need to get your drivers loaded for windows.

Ok...
So, I bricked my tf300t. I ordered a new motherboard off ebay and replaced the bricked one. It works, but it was not factory reset and still has the owners info, etc. It is password protected. I don't know the pw. When I try to boot into the recovery console, I get a dead android. Going into the menu, I have an option to wipe or boot android. How do I get around this?

My suggestion is use stock recovery to replace the encrypted os (probably JB 4.2) with JB 4.1 (10.4.2.20). You can download here [INDEX]25 Apr 2013 - TF300T/TG WITH ALL ASUS ORIGINAL TOOLS-Firmwares-Kernels-Guides-. Look in firmware TF300T. Use the proper sku (ww, us, etc) for your country. Please give philos64 a thanks while there he spent much time creating that post, supporting the downloads, and updating.
Unzip the downloaded file once - rename to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip. Place the file on your internal sdcard if possible if not place on your micro sdcard. Boot into the recovery console and make the hungry android happy. This will probably take ten plus minutes.
Dear tobdaryl! Thanks very much for your advice, I had to dissapear for couple of days, so couldn't answer. I followed your link & had no success. When I power on TF300T & connect it to PC, it's being read as Transformer (see my 1st picture), unlike in the guide they are working with Asus Eee pad device (my 2nd picture), so when I'm trying to install drivers from un-zipped folder it says "...couldn't install drivers for your Transformer".
Looking for more help... (

Right click on the Transformer with the yellow symbol and point to your Universal Naked Drivers inf file. If one inf files fails to install then try the other.

Tobdaryl, I couldn't find "Donate Me" button in your profile, so give me your paypal account for a little present please! :good: It worked!!! I installed correct driver from given guide, rebooted into bootloader, using ADB comand & got 3 icons: RCK, Android & Wipe Data. I tried Wipe Data, it said "can't mount something", don't remember now what. I rebooted again & clicked on Android & loaded into normal screen. Because of Asus became completely flat I put it on charge now. And after that I will have to come back to original task - to root my TF300T. While it's charging I downloaded Goo manager & tried to install TWRP, it said "No recoveries were found for your device", but in same time file for my device (that's where I made mistake, downloading TF300TG version) does exist, so what's story here? I guess this is may be because my TF300T isn't rooted yet?
Adding later. after digging this & other forums I found that in order to get root & have to have CWM/TWRP on my device & I can't get them until my TF300T is rooted. Am I confused & talking rubbish?
Adding 2 hours later. I rooted the device using XDA guide. Still trouble to reboot device. It always reboots into TWRP, then I have to connect it to PC & reboot with ADB commands. This isn't right...

Go manager does not have the proper twrp for our tablet.
Rooting is no longer required to flash twrp. Motochopper will root with just adb.
I suggest we try to get everything working properly with stock before changing or adding anything.
Go to to this link and download the stock Asus firmware 10.4.2.20. Choose the proper sku for your location (ww, us or whatever). Don't forget to thank philos64 while there. Unzip once and place on your tablet, flash with twrp, if that fails unzip again and place the blob file in the directory with adb and fastboot and flash with fastboot. Verify everything works properly before making any other changes.
Thank you for the donation offer.
I don't have a method to receive donations. A simple click on thanks will be good.
My problem is that because I installed wrong TWRP by mistake - it can't mount anything & I can't install anything from SD or internal memory. So, should I delete existing TWRP somehow &/or replace it by CWM recovery?

No don't delete twrp or install cwm. We should have access to adb and or fastboot. We should be able to use either to get sorted.

May I ask you then? My ROM number is: JOP40D.WW_epad-10.6.1.15.3-20130416 & as I can see from numbers you are offerring me to downgrade (from 4.2 to 4.1). Will this not kill the device? And why can't we re-install existing ROM through ADB? I'm not arguing, just trying to understand.

No don't delete twrp or install cwm. We should have access to adb and or fastboot. We should be able to use either to get sorted.
Go to to this link and download the stock Asus firmware 10.4.2.20. Choose the proper sku for your location (ww, us or whatever). Don't forget to thank philos64 while there. Unzip twice and place the blob file in the directory with adb and fastboot and flash with adb. Verify everything works properly before making any other changes.
adb push blob /sdcard/blob
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

I was following Frederuco's Guide to Root and ROM the TF101 at transformerforums
I download the Universal Naked Drivers, updated apx driver, tried both of these easyflashers as described in this excerpt from above tutorial:
Next, we need to get the EasyFlasher from whitekidney at XDA: EasyFlasher - Install CWM/Root/unbrick in one click! [ALL TF101][NVFLASH] - xda-developers

I repacked the files with the two latest versions here:
EasyFlasher with TWRP 2.3.2.3
EasyFlasher with TWRP 2.5.0.0
NOTE - It STILL has the TWRP version listed as 2.2.1.1, but it WILL INSTALL 2.5.0.0. I cannot update this line in the exe file.
Hit sbk1 and got a short line of code with success message after doing easy flash twrp recovery but recovery boot only resulted in the two android wipe data option.
Then I tried the peri tool. - ran as administrator, used dir to confirm files in directory, ran bat- it said press any key to continue. I hit key and nothing happened.
Did you press the VOL UP when the white text is on the screen BEFORE you get to the WIPE and COLD BOOT options?
You will end up at a dead droid (stock recovery) or TWRP when you hit VOL UP at the RCK prompt.

Well, THAT AIN'T RIGHT!
I'd try RCK again. Not sure what else to tell ya.

yes I press vol up before 5 sec. warning. In either case if I press it or not I get taken to the same 2 option data wipe/cold boot screen
Is your USB cable plugged into your PC? If so, try unplugging it and then try booting to recovery.

still :crying:not working. Im now noticing since i unplugged tablet from PC, during boot after i let go of vol down/power, im no longer given 5 seconds ro hit volume up. Instead it goes to data wipe screen as soon as i let go of buttons.
If your SBK1 then why not use the old fashioned NV flash method with prime rom and see how that works out for you.
---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------
Heres the original thread.
Just take your time, youll get there.
If you get things working then id suggest using the Goo apps open recovery script to install TWRP again and then use TWRP to install any of the most up to date roms just to avoid any issues.
okay followed your link and downloaded nvflash zip and prime 1.4. did the following 3 steps:
1 Connect cable to computer and turn device on while holding down Volume Up. Screen will stay off, but USB will come on.
2 (Windows only) Find “APX” device in Device manager and update driver, then point it at usbpcdriver directory from the zip
3 Run download.sh (linux) or download.bat (windows)
In step 2 - driver wouldn't take I presume since I already updated driver when using frederuco's guide. Shouild I have uninstalled APX and reinstalled this version?
Anyhow, I completed step 3 allot of messages about partioning and now there is message on my tablet:
entering nv flash recovery mode/nv3p server
chip vid ----
What do I do now- apply prime? How please tell? Thanks

Did you put the prime file into the same folder that contains the .bat file?
If I recall correctly, once you click on the bat file while in apx then it should be as simple as that aslong as you have the prime rom file in the containing folder.
its been a while since I used nv, infact I only ever used it when I first rooted. Pity the videos gone, it was really helpful to follow
Did you use one of the repacked EasyFlashers that I had done? If so, try the original. I think something may be wrong with my repacked ones. I will test it out in the morning.

Hi all,
I installed the TWRP recovery for my mate 7 - 09 version, with lollipop 5.1. But then I unknowingly wiped something I shouldn't have: I think it was the system folder. No backups were made
My phone keeps starting up to the huawei logo and then reboots\turns off. I can get into fastboot&rescue mode, but that's it. No recovery, no 3-button fix (as far as I know).
The second problem is that I cannot get my device to be recognised by my pc. adb devices doesn't give me any results.
I don't feel like I can install the drivers properly as well. Pherhaps thats the problem? How can I do this? I have a driversetup from a mate7 download, but double clicking it doesnt show any prompts.
Anyone who can help me in any way is more than welcome!

Hey Buddy, here's what you can try to do:
1.) Boot connect your phone to your computer.
2.) Next, boot your phone to fastboot.
3.) Next, open command prompt from the folder where your ADB files are stored.
4.)On CMD type:
fastboot devices
5.) If your device appears then you have 2 options now. You can either:
a.) Flash Stock recovery.img or
b.) Flash back TWRP
6.) If choosing option a.) you can then save stock firmware within dload folder on your external sd card then force upgrade via 3 btn method.
7.) If choosing option b.) you can boot to twrp then either sideload a custom rom or try to save on your external sd and flash

I'll give that a try, thank you. With step 1, you just mean: connect the phone through usb to the computer, right?
When I rooted the phone, I did so on my work laptop, so I am hoping I can get it recognised there, but lets see what happens at home.
EDIT:
Ok, i've typed in fastboot devices, and it gave me one line with a 16-digit code (numbers and letters) some white space and then the word fastboot. What does that mean?
That should meen it recognizes your phone in fastboot mode. Next step is to flash as stated in step 5 that in the instructions.

EDIT AGAIN:
Ok, this is what I did. I downloaded the well known mate7 package, extracted the b119 tools folder and I put the twrp_2.8.7.0_mate7_5.1.img file from this forum (the TWRP for 5.1) inside this folder.
Then, I open cmd inside the folder, and I typed: fastboot flash recovery twrp_2.8.7.0_mate7_5.1.img. This is what happens:
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery'(12644 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.302s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.455s]
finished. total time: 1.756s
Now, I finally managed to get back into TWRP! I've only got 2% battery though (but I see a + which I think means charging...EDIT: yes, it is on 3% now. Better leave it like this...).
It tells me this:
TWRP has detected an unmodified system partition.
TWRP can leave your system partition unmodified to make it easier for you to take official updates. TWRP will be unable to prevent the stock rom from replacing TWRP and will not offer to root your device. Installing zips or performing adb operations may still modify the system partition.
I decided to swipe, to allow modifications.
So, I've got twrp back! For lollipop. This probably means I have to flash the lollipop rom? I will download the update.zip file next and put it on my sd card (using my pc and a microsd adapter...)
Keep you posted!
Ok, this is not working.
I put update.zip on my sd-card, and tried to install it. This is what I get:
Installing 'sd-ext/update.zip'...
checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
E:unknown command [errno]
file_getprop: failed to stat
E: error executing updater binary in zup 'sd-ext/update.zip'

EDIT:
I tried to sideload but on my pc I get:
error: protocol fault (no status)
And on my TWRP I get:
You need adb 1.0.32 or newer to sideload to this device.
EDIT:
Updated my adb to 1.0.32 for windows, and rebooted everything. Now i'm at 6% of sideload. Hoping this will work!
EDITn the PC everything seems to go ok, but on my phone it says: E:Zip signature verification failed:1
What should I try next?

I don't advise you to flash lollipop firmware first. It's more prudent to go back to kitkat first as I believe Lollipop needs kitkat as base
1.) Put stock kitkat update.app on dload folder of your memory card. Also make sure you have the LO9 stock kitkat recovery.
2.) With your phone connected to pc, go to twrp and reboot to bootloader.
3.) Once on bootloader open cmd on your tools folder then fastboot flash the stock kitkat recovery.
4.) Once done, fastboot reboot then force upgrade to install stock firmware.
5.) Once you have stock kitkat follow the drill to reach lollipop

Hi, thank you for your advice. I have but one question remaining: what stock kitkat update should I use? And where can I find the right recovery that goes with it?
I've tried several recovery_stock.img I found, and it does take away TWRP, so it might have done the trick. Only problem is that I cannot force upgrade to install whats on my sd-card....The phone keeps turning on (after a long push) and after seeing the logo for a little while, it turns off (short vibration)... Is there another way?

You should flash B137SP03 firmware. You can also refer to this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/help/5-1-to-4-4-2-bootloop-t3132888
1.)Prepare the Stock B137SP03 firmware on your SD card
2.)Download the fastboot.zip guide and extract it to a separate folder.
3.) next connect your phone to your computer and go to fastboot mode.
4.) Flash the boot.img and recovery.img you find on that guide.
5.) Once done, do the force upgrade with the B137 firmware.

I've followed the guide you are reffering to. And I flashed the boot and recovery, and managed to get the roll back force installed. But for the life of me, I cannot get my phone to force install the B137 zip. I just can't get into force install mode. Are there tips or tricks? I am holding power up and down, and then press power untill I feel a short vibration. But all it does it show me the huawei logo screen and then shuts down again.
Very frustrating!
EDIT:
ok, I noticed that when my sd-card is not inserted, the phone easily boots into the force install mode. It shows the logo for a couple of seconds, screen goes black and then the force install loads. So this is what I did: insert the sd card half way, press vol up and down, and power on. Then after the logo when the screen goes black, insert the sd-card all the way and when the phone goes to force install mode, it can find the update!
Now installing.... hope this helps someone else out there!
Worked! And I am up and running again! Thank you for saving my mate
I got my Mate bricked and i've been trying to figure out how to solve it. I tried lots of things from different guides, but just an hour ago I found this guide and it worked! I can't tell you how happy I am right now, thanks guys!

Glad to hear both of you guys have your mates up and running again. As long as a phone turns on and is not dead as a brick there's always hope it can be restored
Hi everyone, I have the same problem with my mate 7, i was messing with unlocking bootloader(which I succesfully have done), couldn't get my phone rooted so installed TWRP recovery for Lollipop(which was already installed when i bought the phone). Ended up with soft bricked phone(no OS, no recovery at all).
I tried different tutorials how to fix it, none of them worked(including that one unfortunatelly).
I have taken some pictures to show you what the problem is but cannot post them until reach 10 posts on forum
Basically, i can get into fastboot mode by holding volume down with power button. Windows and Hisuite don't recognise my device but in fastboot mode i can check devices connected. Typing "fastboot devices" i get "P6Q7M14A15008421 fastboot", which i guess is my device indeed.
After that i try flashing boot.img and recovery.img(which are reported OK). Then rebooting with 3 button(vol up and down, power) and Huawei logo screen appears for a bit and goes into white screen saying "rescue mode" and at the bottom: "Error Func NO: 10(FUNC_BOOT_RECOVERY) Error NO:2". Trying rebooting into recovery mode(vol up and power) it shows similar "recovery mode" screen but with different errors: "Error! Func NO:12(FUNC_LOAD_IOM3) Error NO:1".
That's it! It seems like i cannot flash my device successfully for some reason. What Windows version did you guys use?? I tried Win 8.0 and Win 10, maybe i should use older systems? Please help, i had my phone for a week only and broke it(
I can't help you much because I don't have enough knowledge about these kind of things.. I use Windows 7 and from my previous experiences I can say that working with Windows 8 can be frustrating. PS. I bricked my Mate 12hrs after buying it

Sounds like the wrong boot.img or recovery.img has been flashed. May I know what Mate 7 model you have and which Lollipop firmwre version your phone came last with?
Try to obtain boot.img and revoery.img for your lollipop version then flash that via fastboot

My phone mt7-09l, european version 16gb. Came with lollipop 5.1 when I bought it but I think I have formatted it via twrp recovery so it shouldn't matter what boot and recovery version I am trying to flash, should it? I'll extract boot and recovery from b308 today andtry that, see if this works. If not, only thing I can try is using win7 and that's it really, no more possibilities

If you were on Lollipop when everything went sour, you should do what I did, thanks to advice from @blitzkriegger:
You should flash B137SP03 firmware. You can also refer to this guide:

1.)Prepare the Stock B137SP03 firmware on your SD card
2.)Download the fastboot.zip guide and extract it to a separate folder.
3.) next connect your phone to your computer and go to fastboot mode.
4.) Flash the boot.img and recovery.img you find on that guide.
5.) Once done, do the force upgrade with the B137 firmware.
I used the full steps from the link in there: flashed the right boot and recovery through fastboot. Then I flashed the rollback zip from my sd-card, and then I flashed the B137 zip from my sd-card. I can't tell you more about it, obviously

Been there, done that. Very frustrating! I've tried several things, none of which are probably the right way, but they worked for me. sometimes....
Can you get into stock recovery (vol+ and power)? What I tried several times was wipe cache, and then hold the powerbutton untill my phone turned off. That worked occasionally to get the device totally turned off. Then try to get to force update with your sd-card half way in, and flip it in totally when the logo dissapears and the screen is black. I also tried to shut down the constant starting up by going into fastboot/recovery mode and then holding power down. As long as it takes. Good luck! And hopefully someone can give you proper advice...
Hi all, i need help for my ASUS TF300T :
Symptoms:
- Boots to Asus screen with nVidia logo at the bottom-right
- Behavior is constantly rebooting to the asus screen until battery is dead
- Hold down VOL- and PWR, goes to Asus bootloader with the following options from left to right: RCK, Android, USB and Wipe Data.
- Recovery Kernel causes it to give me the error "unrecoverable bootloader error (0x00000000000000)"
- Choosing the Android does nothing.
- Wipe Data causes it to give me the error "unrecoverable bootloader error (0x00000000000000)"
- Choosing USB gives you the text "starting fastboot USB download protocol"
I tried all i found on XDA, but it don t want to "writing".
ADB dont work, only fastboot.
Last try :
Steps:-
1. Download the latest ROM from ASUS website Which matches your SKU.(Important).
It would look somehing like this (TF300T-TW_epad-10_6_1_15_3-UpdateLauncher . zip)
2. Extract it and rename that file to ( EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip )
3. Now copy this new renamed file to SDCARD (Root of sd card). Put the SDcard into tablet.
4. Now Press and hold Volume Down + Power for a few seconds. Then you will see the ASUS recovery options.
5. 3 icons will appear: RCK, Android, and Wipe Data. The RCK should be flashing green. Press the UP Volume Key Once.
Now wait for a few minutes. It will flash the ROM.
And wola! Your TF300T will again work fine!!
No effect.
All command stop at "writting".
Any idea ?
if fastboot is working try this with computer plugged

4. Now Press and hold Volume Down + Power for a few seconds. Then you will see the ASUS recovery options.
5. 3 icons will appear: RCK, Android, and Wipe Data. The RCK should be flashing green. Press the UP Volume Key Once.
Now wait for a few minutes. It will flash the ROM.
And wola! Your TF300T will again work fine!!
No effect.
All command stop at "writting".
Any idea ?
