I have a B70 transformer (just 20 days old). Rooted with universal rootkit.
Wanted to install Ubuntu[emmc install].
Checked sbk version using sbkcheck uitlity. It first gave sbk version 1.
So went ahead Ubuntu install. Could'nt complete beacuse of "connection failed nverror 0x8".
So again ran sbkcheck utility. Got some error cant remember.
and now i cant do anything.
Just displays Entering NvFlash recovery mode when plugged in to usb.
Tried nvflash unbbricking gives "USB device not found"
Please Help!!!
You can try to use NVFLah unbricking method.

Tried nvflash unbbricking tool it gives "USB device not found"
I just ran into something along these lines too, accept i was installing the ICS alpha build.
I used the NvFlash from the revolver 3.11 thread to get back to a working state at least

do you get the transformer into apx mode at all?
Thanks for your replies
Got nvflash unbricking tool working from windows. Don't know why it wasnt working on linux.
All fine now.
Just to make sure, since the unbricking tool worked, does it mean I have a sbkv1 device?
Yes you have sbk v1
I have a similiar problem. But i have an 3G model (TF101G), and its not mine its from a friend.
When i power on it only gets to the Eee pad Logo, than it stays there.
Can get into the wipe menu, where you can choose between wipe and "cold booting Linux", but cant get into asus recovery menu (Android Guy with gears).
Tried also nvflash with Windows and Linux, but everytime error "0X4".
my SN begins with "BA0K", so probably a SBKv3 device or?
But i cant be brick! there must be a way, because i can get into the Asus wipe menu and into APX-Mode. Everytime here in the forum its said that this is not really a brick, but perhaps though?
I hope not.
Or have i to be wait until the SBKv3 key will released?
pls help me

hmm i think i have tried it yesterday. Its this file ( http://www.multiupload.com/PFMWB39SK4 ) or? it gave me the same error (0X4)
For me it looks like exactly the same nvflash + bat like usual.
Or maybe is there something different there?
Which SBK you have? I think SBKv1 or?
IDK what SBK is...
I thought there was something different there.
i still tried the SBKcheck util on Linux-Live CD. It worked with "sudo", but i get SBKv1.
I think that is only because of the tool, because i have an 3G Model or?

You have a B80 according to your other thread. This mean nvflash won't work.

If I remember correctly, 3G models have the SBKv3 but it reads as SBKv1.

Hi, I know there are many threads with this particular problem, I did my research and I find this kinda strange (Iam also desperate...)
Long story:
Ive been swapping between official ROM and customs like a madman and Ive always rooted using this method (downgrade, then vipermod), but this time I accidentaly tried to enter recovery at first boot and since then Iam stucked at "EEE Pad" logo with half full progress bar.
tl;dr summary:
no adb
C10 transformer, sbkv2
no recovery
on boot w/ volume down it says 8.6.6 - the one Ive downgraded to; It also says "checking for ota recovery"
sucessful APX mode connect, universal drivers
When using standard nvflash ROM the process is terminated with "write error" message and disconnects the transformer - sbk2 problem, so Ive tried EasyFlasher which utilizes Wheelie for B70+ devices and the exact same thing happens (well, console and GUI says that everything is OK, but when the nvflash is getting ready the device gets disconnected too). There are many people saying in the thread that Wheelie helped them with basically the same problem...
Now Iam downloading linux to try Wheelie manually.
Any ideas how to fix this or I can pretty much toss my transformer out of the window?
Thanks for replies.
nevermind, Iam an idiot - did not realised that I actually have TF101G so sbkv3 and no nvflash for me
so, do you know if there is any "nvlash-for-sbkv3" project in progress?
Good day, I am new here as a member. I think I bricked my TF101. The other day I installed 2 apps from play store if i remember it it was yousendit. I am running on stock ICS. then it just automatically turned off. i tried to turn it on again but when it goes into the asus screen with circling dots it just turns off again. tried cold booting it, still the same. then i used wipe data. but an hour has past still my tablet is still showng the android with a rotating orb in its belly. so last night i downloaded every tool i could research. first i tried PERI but it says it does not recognize my device, then i use brks tool v8, i tried installing stock rom as instructed, no success. then i tried easy flasher today and now i cant even see the first boot screen.
I hope you can help me, i use this tablet at work and presentation to my clients. I am new with this OS and seems that i wrecked my tab by solving it myslef, I hope this was not the case. BTW i have a B60 tf101. i bought it second hand with my savings so i have no warranty.
can you please give me a step by step solution, i am very desperate here, thank you.

Easy flaher is the way out,
1) Download universal naked driver and unzip into a folder
2) Download latest Asus transformer firmware and put it in firmware folder.
3) Uninstall all Asus drivers from your laptop.
4) Disconnect your laptop from WiFi/internet and make it offline
4) Now plug your tablet and let windows install required driver.
5) If windows cannot install driver( mostly it won't as laptop is not connected to the net) then use "manually install driver" option and select the folder where you downloaded and unzipped "universal naked driver" and that should install the naked driver.
6) If that doesn't then goto device manager, there you should see unknown device, select it and update the driver manually.
7) Once the driver is installed, then unplug the tablet
8) now connect the tablet back and press volume up and power button together till laptop starts installing APX driver.
9) If it doesn't then try repeating step 5 or step 6 and that will install APX driver.
10) Launch EASY FLASHER and unroot and install stock ROM...
Good luck

I tihnk a PART of your issues is that you got the wrong file. Instead of the WW version you should be using the US_epaduser file. This is of course thinking that you are in the USA.
I downloaded the WW version thinking that the pad was bought here in the Philippines (second hand). Or maybe I am wrong. Thanks for the idea I'll download the other update and give it a try.
You have a B60 tablet, just use NvFlash via APX mode manually. Much less room for error than anything else IMO, first download image from here http://xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Asus/Asus+Transformer+(TF101)/STOCK+ROMS/ICS+.27
Pick WW for ww tablet, or US for us tablet. (I believe yours will be a US tablet, purchased in the Philippines)
Then download wheelie (NvFlash tool) from androidroot.mobi. Copy and paste the files into the other folder you downloaded earlier, overwrite everything with the newer wheelie files.
Put TF into APX mode (Power off, hold volume up while plugged into computer, power back on, screen will remain black and computer should detect device in APX mode.)
Run Reflash_sbkv1.bat (make sure it is sbkv1 not sbkv2 as you have a B60)
If runs successfully you should be unbricked.
You can then reroot with PERI or other if desired.

It doesn't matter what version of Asus you download ( I'm in US and I downloaded WW version), but can you explain what problems you facing while you try to follow the steps I mentioned... also screen shot of laptop would help I have bricked my tablet at least 10 times and easy flasher (wheelie) always brought it back....

Easy flasher *should* work, from what I've heard of it.
I was wondering what's supposed to happen after I launch sbkv1, my tablet just seems to disconnect and the screen stays black.
im trying on whellie tonight
so here are my screenshots. i downloaded from the link you gave me, and downladed wheelie then extracted wheelie on the same folder as the rom. clicked on reflash sbkv1 and on to the next screenshot, how many minutes sholud i wait for it, it says done, but when i switch on my TF nothing happens.
I followed again the whelie using the US and this happened. will it automatically boot my TF or should i manually boot it?
I also used easyflasher and i got stuck with this? what am I doing wrong?
guys i found the box of my TF and shot a pic of the serial number just to be sure.
i researched a bit on other forums and i think im in an permanent apx loop which some say is unsolvable. is this true? i hope not.

As far as I can understand, your laptop is recognizing your tablet in APX mode otherwise easy flasher won't work. So plug it back in apex mode and click on "flash Asus stock zip" it will push stock unrooted Asus rom, WAIT for it to finish, it might take some time but WAIT!!! Once its totally finished then you can reboot into a stock ROM.... WAIT for EASY FLASHER to finish.
if you like to root again then use the same to flash recovery and superuser
Sent from my Transformer using xda app-developers app
Thank you for your reply sir. I waited but it seems the while flashing as shown on the screen the TF gets disconnected. I counter check it on the device manager and the "nvidia boot reccovery" was not showing.
It never happened to me, it takes time but it always pushed stock zip through, if that's not happening then I'm out of ideas. I'm sorry to say I'm out of ideas. But sometime back I saw some where, some one suggested a way to unbrick using ADB, I'm not not sure how to ho about it, search the forum, you might find it.. good luck
Following is the last option if nothing else helps and no one can provide you an answer then try following
Instead of flashing Asus stock ROM, Use easy flash to push twrp recovery, i know its not conventional but if you get recovery then you can flash a custom rom... GOOD LUCK

Thank you very much sir for your time and to all that replied to this problem. It really disconnects after formatting the 10th partition. I researched on how to use the ADB and that requires a lot more knowledge on programming. I will still try the last option, im crossing my fingers it will work or else ill call the asus service center her in the Philippines. Hopefully they can fx it and it wont be an expensive fix.

Dear transformers,
My Transformer TF300T is a brick !!
I've got TF300T, with stock JB 4.1.1.
I'm not sure if it permanent, please help !!
I've unlocked my device via the official Asus unlock device tool.
It went well.
After few days, I've downloaded few programs from the "Google Play".
One of the programs, allowed to automatically enter recovery after reboot.
I opened the program (of course I don't remember it name), click on "enter recovery after reboot", and then the problem started !
Please see attached screenshot.
The device is stuck on the Asus logo, without any progress.
When I'm trying to enter the recovery menu, with "Power + Volume Down", the device turning of for 3 seconds, and getting back to the exact same position.
I cannot choose "RCK", no Android, no USB option, nothing !!
What you see in the screenshot, is the permanent condition...
When the Transformer worked, my computer recognize it, but now when it stuck on the Asus logo, it seems that the computer even doesn't see the device !! (although the driver is installed...)
How bad is it ??
It is a hard brick ??
Can I do anything without RMA it to Asus ??
I'm pretty sure that Asus won't support the device, because I've unlocked it
Please help !!
If XDA couldn't help me, I'm really lost... :/
Thanks a lot !

so you have NVFlash that you can enter APX Mode?
then you could just restore a backup like here - but I'm really confused an APP should have broken your rck/fastboot menu

But I still don't know what exactly to do with it...
The link you've sent me is for TF700...

I absolutely agree with you that apps from the Goggle Play shouldn't prevent me to enter RCK / fastboot, but the RCK / fastboot worked until I've installed and used it... that all I know about why it's happened.
Is there a step-by-step solution for how to work with NVFlash (or wheelie) with TF300T ??

Unless you already generated your device-specific NVFlash files while still on ICS, you will not be able to use NVFlash/Wheelie at this point. Wheelie needs those files to run and they will only work on the device they were generated on. The NVFlash files cannot be generated after upgrading to JB as of now.
Does your computer recognize it as an ADB device?

hm so if you don't have the ICS backup'ed device-specific files NVFlash can't help you - only thing I found was this with unblob'd system updates - what would make sense would be if you could do the same with unblob'd TF300 blob's - other thing which I would recommend to try first is THIS as it sounds like the same problem and ppl seem to agree (although OP didn't answer anymore) - hope I can help you a bit although I'm not familiar with NVFlash

hello, what said asus and how much cost asus Reinstalling
RMA
Repair of bricked ASUS TF300T in Czech Republic - 500,- KC ... cca 20 Euro ... :laugh:
I've following multiple post and tried many methods to root this tablet, but unsuccessful. I've followed CM documentation, have used viperMOD Primer Tool v4.5 and couple of other methods. On a couple of blog posts I noticed that locale makes a lot of difference and was advised against flashing - hence afraid of trying any more methods until I fully understand.
From the build number, it appears that the locale is Taiwan (tablet was purchased in Singapore).
Can someone please point me to a definitive way to root this device? I would really like to get CM on it.
Thanks in advance.
Give this a try: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...nt/31927-frederucos-guide-root-rom-tf101.html
It uses EasyFlasher (APX mode and NVFlash/Wheelie) to get a custom recovery installed.
Another method is to use PERI to install a custom recovery via ADB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681155
I have not found any issues with locale vs rooting. The only issue is if you have a TF101G vs a TF101.

Hi Frederuco, The device is TF101 (12 GB, no 3G), so assume it is NOT tf101G. (dev settings also says this is a TF101). In addition, this seems to be SBK1 since s/n is : B70KAS21xxxxx.
I tried both EasyFlasher and PERI. But when I boot into recovery, the android image seems to fall down and a typical 'Stop' sign appears.
But the device boots just fine in normal mode.
Any clues?

For EasyFlasher, it may be SBK 2. I have a B70k they is SBK 2.
When using EasyFlasher, did any text appear on the TF screen? If it did not, it didn't work properly.
As for PERI, I've not used it so I cannot troubleshoot much there.
SBK2 didn't work with Easy Flasher either

I tried both SBK1 and 2.
I can't boot into recovery. It crashes somewhere.
When using Easy Flasher, there was no text on screen.
By the way, how do I boot this device into APX mode? I tried searching, but couldn't find any useful link yet.
Any clues?
First, plug your tablet into your PC via USB. Then hold VOL UP and POWER for about 10-15 seconds. You should hear the new hardware noise from your PC. The TF101 screen will be black. The ONLY way to know it is really in APX is the new hardware found, and that your PC shows an APX device (it may be an unidentified device until you update the driver).
Thank You so much

Hi Freduruco. Thank you so much for assisting me with it. I am now able to install and boot into TWRP (using SBK2).
Appreciate your help.
SWEET!
Enjoy.
Afternoon guys,
Before anyone has a go at me, I've have spent about five hours looking through this forum for what I'm looking for and i've tried all the easy unroot/easy flasher/etc and got all the stock Asus rom and recovery. AND the forum search is temporarily unavailable.
So here is what I have:
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.4
Liquid Smooth Rom
I have installed the stock rom, recovery and wiped everything.
If i press the power button it loads into CWM recovery.
If i press power and down vol, it loads to the wipe data/load android screen, and which it hangs on forever,
So I guess what im asking you good people of the internet is:
A) How do I finally get rid of CWM Recovery (because even if i install another recovery it boots back to CWM), and
B) How on gods earth do I get back to stock?
Now I know people are going to be like search the forums, I have, and I've tried literally everything that everyone has posted, and clearly while it's worked for millions of other people, my tablet is retarded and doesnt want to follow the norm.
Also i am the greatest noob ever.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hmmm, did you unzip the stock ROM once before flashing (it will still be a zip).
Otherwise, try using EasyFlasher and APX mode. For EasyFlasher, do not unzip the stock ROM, use it as it downloads from Asus.

If your TF is SBK1 (Serial B6O or earlier, some B7Os work too) you can use NVFlash
http://www.xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Asus/Asus+Transformer+(TF101)/STOCK+ROMS/ICS+.27
Stick the TF into APX mode (Vol up & Power from Powered Off state)
Run download.bat as Admin (Right click > Run as Admin)
@frederuco
I did unzip it and install it. It still hangs.
I tried EasyFlasher, but for some reason I run through it and the process completes, when i reboot the tablet nothing has changed.
@*Detection*
I can't get the link to work for some reason.
Thanks for your help so far, but stupid tablet stays stupid!

I downloaded it and ran it as admin, DOS flashed up and disappeared before i could read what it said.
the nvflash app does the same, even when i run as admin.
maybe this is a lost cause..

What is the first 3 characters of your tablet serial?
And was it in APX mode connected to PC USB with APX drivers installed ?

The serial starts with B40.
Im on a mac (as i have no access to a pc) but have VMWARE running windows 7, with APX drivers on it.
When i put it in APX mode, it comes up that it is connected as Nvidia APX device.
Could this be where I'm going wrong?

Yea probably, I've never tried using NVFlash on anything other than a PC running Windows
Try updating the NVidia APX Device with these drivers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1489867&d=1353190140
Chances are its the drivers running on the Mac that are causing the problem with the USB > VMWare > TF101
I know nothing about Mac, but I heard you can install Windows 7 almost natively using Bootcamp or something? Might be worth trying that if you can't do it in VMWare

Great!
At least you know now you can do what you like with it firmware / ROM / Recovery wise, and always be able to return it to stock, you can't break APX mode unless you physically damage the tablet
