Hi everyone,
Yesterday I tried to install stock rom again by following a tutorial which is on this forum too but since I don't have enough posts to post an post in development section. I decided to post it here
Since I installed the stock rom and kernel on my device I can't boot up anymore It just stuck at the begin screen of asus;s I tried to use NvFlash but without succes because everytime I put my device in APX mode(this works) and then run the .bat file apx mode removes and the bat file says no device found;s
So then I tried wiping all data by using some volume button, tried to cold boot but didn't work neither. Tried to get into recovery but can't boot after that.
SO I would really appreciate it if someone could help me
P.S. I tried this unrooting/stock rom method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154947
And I was running Revolver ROM.(latest update)
Yours Kasper
This post would not belong in the development section FYI..you are in the right place, only post in Dev section if you are developing something.
What is your serial number? B70 and later cannot use NVflash from what I understand so if you are B70 or later you may be bricked..
Thanks for your fast reaction! and where can I find my serial number? and if I am bricked is there any way to get un bricked?

Look near the charging port, should be a sticker that start with a "B".
Also on the back of the box if you still have it.

Kay thanks, but I removed all my stickers and had to threw away the box when I left America with the plane;s (didn't fit in my bag) So I guess im 70b+ else NvFlash would work? But is there maybe some other way to get my device unbricked or is the only thing I can do is waiting untill Nvflash supports 70b +?

well does this only work on linux cuz i can't run this on windows? or how should I run that
Are you stuck on the very first screen that says Eee Pad or the second one that just has a silve ASUS in the middle? Cause if it's the second...it's the bootanimation so couldn't you just go into recovery and clear and reflash?
its the silver I can get into recovery but wiping or cold-booting only results in freeze;s and trying to install a new ROM (EVEN THE official of asus rom) it gives an error the Yellow Triangle above the android man;ss

Assuming you have CWM Recovery...did you try using the Format option...then reinstalling a ROM? Just a thought.

screen says "booting recovery kernel image" nothing ever happens after...
I have NVFlash
I have APX driver installed ok
I have lenovo k1 OTA.zip
now what?
I understand that there is a key not cracked yet. Is there a way to put back ota imgs/boot ?
All the nvflash GUIDES pertain to specific tablets/phones. I feel like Im close to understanding what im missing.
I read to try and repair this brand new k1 every day and have joined 6 forums and have been asking guidance.
I fell like I got a secret since noone is really interested in the k1 development/rooting. I would have thought since it was the first with netflix loaded that everyone would be playing with these tbt's.
I bought mine for my 5 year old son with nflix in mind...
I did factory data reset and then update and <boink> "booting recovery kernel image"
Can I use nvflash and Ota.zip to fix this? What am I missing here?
Thank you in advance devpeeps

OK all...so I am new here and was trying to get JB to work on my tablet. I thought I had done the needed research but went wrong somewhere I guess. I tried to follow steps on a site I found from AndroidAuthority dot com (not sure if I am able to post the entire link or no?). I was trying to root and install ClockworkMod Recovery but I guess either something went wrong or I messed something up. From what I have been reading I guess I have not bricked my device since it still tries to load. It currently loops with the Samsung screen. I can still enter the download mode and recovery mode but not sure what I should try next. I tried via Odin again with no luck. Out of the box I was running 4.0.3 but did the OTA update to 4.0.4. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks from a newbie!
Also I used espresso_recovery.tar.md5 as the recovery image if that helps at all. Thanks again.
Followed the steps from another site. Will follow these later today:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1788625
I guess since I can still use Odin I should be all set. Sorry if this was in the wrong section.

You can use heimdale too. Ive had better luck using that for my phone, never tried my tabley but it should work.

I haven't tried heimdale yet cause I do not want to add more gas to the flames. But I tried the other link I posted and still no luck. Also tried a different SD card to be on the safe side but no luck. Any ideas on what I should do next? Or any other info I can provide that might help?
Keep on trying... it should work sooner or later. Have the samsung drivers? If not install kies. Try other usb ports too.

Should I keep on with the same procedure or you mean keep letting it boot in a cycle?
I used this with 4.0.4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056
i would suggest you follow from the beginning.
install samsung drivers and kies and odin. run odin as adminstrator.
pay close attention to the mention of the post #325 in the instruction as it what helps you 4.0.4 root process. its difference from 4.0.3.
also if you are on jb. you need to run cwm 6.0 not 5.0 make sure youre uploading the right file into odin.

Then use the restore to stock procedure. But before you do, tell me: what step did you boot loop on?

Don't use ClockWorkmod, it's not designed specifically for Gtab2... CWM is bad.
you can try flash your gtab2 with ODIN instead
CWM is OFFICIALLY supported now and works good.
Don't fear.

Boot Loop
So I'm new here, I tried rooting my p3100, flashed cwm with Odin, as it rebooted from there it just keeps rebooting - need help please guys......any lil bit of advice would help - I've read on other posts to flash to the stock ROM, but how do i do this? where do i get the rom......
OK so I am back at it and still not having much luck. I can't get as far as the:
"CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.0"
Screen.
From here I do not have a recovery file to use. Which should I use for the P3113....At this point I don't even care if I lose all the data on the tablet and go back to stock. Just need it working again and then do some more research on how to do it right..
Thanks again.
Then use Section E of my guide. It will wipe your data and restore your tablet to stock.
I used the Moboboro and SuperOneClick method. Everything went smoothly, SOC went through its routine and told me my device was now rooted. The superuser app appeared in my drawer and updated itself. I figured everything was good. Wrong. Rootchecker and busybox are both telling me the device (UG802) is not actually rooted. Any ideas what I can do?
Thanks
Unfortunately I have exactly the same problem when I attempt to root ug 802. Will appreciate any help!
I'm going thru the same thing. I guess there is a Chinese tool that works but I'm not up for trying.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2139454
I read the ug802 comes prerooted ?? I have been able to load apks thru astro without issue but also got non rooted message using busybox.
Root doesn't appear to matter as there isn't a ROM based off the JB firmware it comes with AFAIK

Depends on which UG802 version you have. On that forum there's a warning that the ROM is not for use on the latest version of the UG802, it kills the wi-fi.
Getting my ug802 into recovery is about impossible. Mine has no reset button and I'm not up for opening the case. Somebody has to have a way to do this easy.

FWIW, opening the case is a piece of cake. It's just held on with tabs. Slide a flat head screwdriver above the HDMI port and gently work it back and forth. It will crack open and then you can just work your way around. Why do you need to open the case?
According to what I've read you can run a jumper wire across to pin terminals and force the ug802 into recovery mode. This seems to be what those that have tried and failed to root have resorted to to get their device out of boot loop.
I've modded a few androids but this one is tough

OK this worked for as well!! Big thank you!!
I'd like to add that I got stuck until I realized that after each reboot I had to back into settings and under ubs click connect to PC. Once I did that it rooted right away. Now we just need some new ROMs to try!!
Hi, im using this rom and just need to install. Already came with SU. No need to root
Since I use that one I never root again
Install an uninstaller root apk, and desinstall all apk you dont need it
So i'm looking for a little help.
A little while back I used this thread : [GUIDE] TF300T Unlock/Root/Flash for Factory JB Devices (newbie friendly)
To help me install this custom rom : [ROM][TF300]|Mar 28| Energy™ -.¸¸.·´¯ Official JB 4.2.1 Stock or Themed ¯´·.¸¸. -
onto my girlfriends TF300T tablet
and I have this : [RECOVERY][TF300T/TG] TWRP 2.5.0.0 Touch Recovery! [2013-4-9] on there as well
but I can't remember if this was part of the unlock/root/flash process or not, so i'm not sure if it used it during the process or if I added it shortly afterword
now its been while since I have done it but then the tablet started to restart randomly while she was using it.
so I figured no biggie maybe an app got messed up or something, and so I told her to back up her pics, exc she wanted off the unit
and I could look at reinstalling the apps or just taking the unit back to factory rom
about a week later it started to reboot more often randomly
and now it is to the point where it will not make it into the rom
now I can make it into the boot selection where I can choose RCK (for the TWRP), USB, or the other 2 options
and I know I can make it into the TWRP tool as well and it does not repeatedly boot from there, so i'm sure its a rom issue and not a hardware issue, but I could still be wrong
the unit is currently charging so I have not had a chance to try for the usb connection option or anything else yet
hopefully the usb option will work so I can try to recover the pics, exc before taking the unit back to factory
now in the process I know I have unlocked the unit, I believe I have done the min root but have not fully rooted the unit if that makes sense
so i'm just wondering if I will half to fully root (and how do I do that if I do since I can't make it into a rom)
how do I clear the rom that has gone bad
how do I install a factory rom (how do I tell which is the lastest rom, and which one is needed for my unit)
and then I should be good from there
if you need any more info please let me know and maybe some instructions on how to get to that info
in the process of putting the energy rom onto it, I spent a week of reading, researching, and figuring out which way would probably be the safest for me to do, plus the easiest for me to understand
now that it has been so long I have been reading and researching again, I just need that nudge that gets me in the right direction
i'm sure i'm not the only one that has had this issue with a rom, and i'm also sure there is a guide out there already that goes over how to put it back to a factory rom
just for some reason i'm either over looking it or not finding it

Its very simple to return to stock. But first, do you have the tablets drivers installed on your pc?
---------- Post added at 06:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 AM ----------
And do you have fastboot?
if you are talking about the android sdk tools
yes that is installed on my computer from the first time I did the tablet
and I went ahead and did the updates for it as well
and tried plugging the unit in with the fastboot and confirm it shows up in device manager

Lol okay. Theres actually a more simple way.
1. Download the latest asus firmware.
2. Extract the zip file
3. Flash it like a normal rom.
If you cant use this method then you'll have to use fastboot. Here's a link but if you need any help, just ask : http://www.androidauthority.com/transformer-pad-tf300t-restore-stock-firmware-108016/
how do I check the sku according to that guide if i'm not able to load into the android os
that only shows if you can load into the os
would the box have that?

Its simple lol. When you download the firmware from asus, its usually in a .zip form. In it, there is another zip file. Copy that zip file onto your tablet and flash it with twrp.

If you want to use twrp, download the us stock firm ware. when you open it, you'll see a file that looks like this: "US_epad-user-10.6.1.15.3". copy that file onto your tablet and flash it like a normal rom. haha
For fastboot, if you have the android sdk, then you already have fastboot so you dont have to download fastboot again.

Hi All,
Searched the forum but couldn't find the same problem.
Tablet starts-up and goes to the starting screen.
After ca. 10 to 20 sec's the tablet reboots.
Sometimes I can read a mail or google for about 10 secs.
It is an original tablet, no unlocking or whatsoever.
Problems started after the latest update (firmware... I think)
What to do,
I am a noob not a nerd.
All help welcome !

Thanks for your quick response :good:
No, I don't get time enough to do a factory reset or back-up.
How to reflash stock firmware ?
When using the start button/volume down I get this message :
bootloader <1.00> released by "ww_epad-10.6.1.27.5-20130902" AO3
The screen says : "RCK" "ANDROID" "WIPE DATA"
When using RCK I get a dead Android with a error message
When using ANDROID I get a cold booting, a startup and I can read 2 E-mails and the looping is back.
I obviously do not use the Wipe out command.
I am using the TF300T with dock for nearly 13 months and was happy with the performance.

I am using the TF300T with dock for nearly 13 months and was happy with the performance.

You do this with the Stock install zip for your bootloader:
Tylorw1 said:
1. Download the latest version of Android for your tablet. Make sure you download the correct SKU version.
A. To find the SKU, go into settings, About tablet, and look for your Build Number, There are two letters (such as US,WW, TW, etc.) that is your SKU. When downloading the zip from ASUS', you must download the correct SKU zip.
2. Decompress downloaded .zip file (it will be another .zip)
3. Rename it to:
A. For the TF700 and TF300: EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip
4. Make sure your MicroSD card is formatted Fat32. It must be Fat32 Format or it will not work.
5. Copy the file to (the root directory of) your MicroSD
6. Insert the MicroSD into the tablet
7. Shutdown (power off) the tablet
8. Power it on by pressing and holding VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons simultaneously
9. When you see white text in the top left corner of the screen, release the buttons ^^ and press VOLUME UP button (on RCK, this is your recovery which should already be selected) until you see Android logo and process bar
10. Give the update process 5-10 minutes. It should not take longer than that. If it happens to run for more than 45 minutes to an hour, force shut down the tablet and see if it boots. If it does not, try rerunning steps 7-9.

Thats annoying of Asus... the only versions that are available on XDA are older ones like 10.6.1.27.1. But idk if it will work to flash back like that, and I wouldn't recommend doing it unless someone else has already tried and been successful.

It seems "ww_epad-10.6.1.27.5-20130902 AO3" is the latest firmware ! Is this the
good upgrade or do I get the same looping because after this version I did get
this looping problems ?

Do you have a copy of the install zip for the stock firmware? You need that to reflash it, and you can if you have it for 10.6.1.27.5-20130902

Don't know; can't acces my tablet because I get 5 to 10 sec's before it
goes back in looping.
Maybe I can use one on the forum ?
This is what I did

Hi Fransoos,
seems like your recovery is sorta borked. In a even worse situation (nothing booted up at all) I followed two guides:
1. Complete reset you device and update to the latest stock firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12
You should be able to get the latest firmware from this thread, I tried to download the 4.2 WW, working fine
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1949758
2. A very nice script that will install the latest CM11 nightly and Google Apps on your device, including a working recovery and everything.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579922
You only need to have the drivers installed and an unlocked Bootloader. Maybe this is the way to go for you.
At least it's what I did and I am very happy with my decision.
Cheers

In the newer versions of the stock firmware there are only the three icons (RCK and so on) you described. A line at the top of the screen will say something bout fastboot, so if anyone tells you to select the USB icon ... than that is outdated information. Kept me on my toes for a while.
Cheers

Hi guys, dumb question, but why not just let Francoos install the not latest firmware? It should at least fix his issues. If not, the lean wipe of the tablet should resolve this, but then his data is lost.
Any 4.2 stock firmware should give him better results than a reboot every 10 seconds.
Cheers

The OP's bootloader is locked and he is on the latest firmware: 10.6.1.27.5. So upgrading to the latest firmware is the same as reflashing the firmware. So he has to download the 10.6.1.27.5 firmware from the forums or Asus website and upgrade it manually using the quote I gave a few posts ago.

You can probably get the firmware from here:

Still can't reach Asus for the file.
Is possible to use the usb port on the dock to reflash or must it be the miniSD ?

You can reflash though fastboot or through the microSD card. The USB port cannot be used.
You can also download the ROM here though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1697227

Oke, did the reflashing 10.6.1.27.5 firmware.
No dead android but also the looping is back.
Do I need to rename the older firmware ?

Did you see it reflashing and did it erase all of your data? It looping should not continue after a factory reset unless it is a hardware problem.

The android is belly loading and after reboot no data is lost.
Did open the tablet to see if the on/off button is stuck.
All seems alright.
Can you backup your apps using the Asus app and the factory reset?

No, I do not have time enough to backup; after 10 to 20 secs it goes in looping.
If I want to use an older firmware, do I have to rename it too ; wich name ?

In that 20 seconds can you go to settings and press factory reset?
