[Q] HELP unbricking my b70+ device please

Hi guys,
My eee pad bricked like 2 months ago and I tried really everything and the conclusion was just wait for ICS. So thats what I did
Now when ICS arrived for our devices I downloaded the original files from asus.com WW and US tried both. And copied first US version to my sd card(which is fat32) and named it EP101_SPUPDATE.zip (I bought my eee pad in the us, so I thought i need us version then) And yes I copied them to the root of my SD-card. so when I booted up with volume button down I saw the recovery text and pressed vol-up and entered recovery kernel. I see a android guy with a progressbar underhim and then it jumps to an android guy(green) with an white triangle with a yellow exclamation mark inside above the android man. and then nothing happens:S (also tried this with the WW update) So my question is what to do what to do
Am I doing something wrong? or is there something else I can do?
P.S. I tried NvFlash alrdy. (didn't work neither) cold-booting doesn't work howver wipe-date in recovery does work!. And my device got bricked when went from revolver rom to custom and forgot to reboot when I flashed the stock asus eee pad rom.
p.s.
when I boot into recovery i see this line;
US-EPAD-8.6.5.19-20111107. Not sure what it means

Did you extract the zip file from within the file you download or did you just leave it as is?
Also try renaming the file to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip instead of EP101_SPUPDATE.zip

Do you still have CWM Recovery installed or did you go back to stock recovery?
If you are using CWM Recovery still I think you can just use that to flash the update.
Also, users running 8.6.5.19 and they try to update to ICS are not having any luck, but if they do a manual update to 8.6.5.21 that works, then they can update to ICS. It appears that ICS will only want to update from 8.6.5.21.

Kay thanks, I'll try the .21 update

I guess im kinda doomed;s
I tried the .21 US and WW version now (extracted them) and named them EP101_SDUPDATE.ZIP (didn't work)
And ye, im still at stock recovery not at cwm;p

I have same problem...
How can I use nvflash with stock rom? Or something with APX mode?

First you have to determined if you have a device that is compatible with NVFlash.
Check your serial number to see what it start with. B60 and previous you'll be OK.
Some B7O will work, B8O and newer will not work with NVFlash.

Since you are on older version of android and havent updated to latest OTA release try universal root toolkilt v7.. follow the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185104

You need to extract the asus folder and copy that as well as putting the EP101_SDUPDATE.zip in the root of your MicroSD.
You could have a bad download. Try downloading again.

Stuck in Boot Loop!

I got the tablet "unlocked:, Rooted, And running clockworkmod recovery. I had over the air update to 4.1 before all this but had no issues. I downloaded a ROM for 4.1, and when I rebooted into CWM I went to wipe my data and thats when it happened. The data wipe froze. I ended up having to forcfully turn it off. Then I got bootloop. I can get into cwm but I cant find my ROM to flash it. So im literally stuck. Is there a One Click revert to stock I can use? Or anything? Many thanks to anyone who can help. Note: this is my 1st tablet - Asus Transformer tf300t

so try to load your rom to sd card. then install from that?

I have no access to my sd card. The ROM I downloaded previously does not show up in CWM.

You can't flash it again from cwm by redowloding, then putting on your SD card then munt in it?
U could reflash your unit with stock ROM using fastboot. I just unbricked my unit doing that after 5 days of fighting.
This is what I did, I downloaded job update from Asus then moved the blob to c/fast boot, loaded unit to fast boot then typed
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
But make sure our boot loader is 10.4 or it will signature mismatch, so down load the appropriate boot loader .
That's what I did at least and my unit is working again.

read above edit.
i found the info here but had to tweak because once you upgrade bootload to 10.4 there is no going back it seems.

you will lose your cwm, but you can re implement it when your done.

Can I use a custom ROM zip and get it from that? My internet is really slow tonight and 300mb is just crawling so downloading a stock ROM will take me another hour or so.... I am rooted if that helps.

it has to match your current bootloader. if you updated jellybean your bootloader version is 10.4 and that is irreversible. so find out if that rom works on your current boot loader. once you go jb you can't go back.
in short. idk. if you want your unit install a rom that is made for your bootloader. idk custom roms. i use stock os rooted.

It is a JB ROM so it seems like it would work (fingers crossed).

Well this didn't work. I found the boot.blob and did what everything said to do but still boot loops. Not sure if it was because its not stock or not. I did notice that when I put in the command to reboot, it said it reboot but the tablet did nothing..... so is there a chance that it didn't even flash? It did seem very fast.

Verify boot loader version and use stock ROM.......
Find working custom ROM. Don't brick it

Hanging in boot screen. Please help!

Yesterday I up CyanogenMod 10 rom for my tablet, upgraded it to 4.2.1 and problems started from here: it wouldn't reponse to my touching at all. Then I flashed it with rootkit v8 and the tablet showed nothing but blank screen! Hopelessly I used every way I could find and finally come up with Easy Flasher 0.8.3. Now my tablet's stucking at bootscreen. I can't even enter recovery mode. Please help me with some guides, my mind is a freaking mess now :crying:

What did you do with easyflasher, install a recovery, or flash stock firmware?

Use easy flasher to flash a recovery, chuck a rom on an sd card and flash from the recovery.

Agreed. I would use EasyFlasher to install TWRP.
Put your favorite ROM (stock or otherwise) as a flashable.zip (if using stock be sure to unzip once) on a microSD formatted for FAT32.
Insert into tablet.
Install the ROM.
Profit

Thank you for your answers. I managed to get into this screen but it couldn't recognize my micro SD card.

Any suggestion?
//Sorry I'm a newbie of this

Wow, that CWM is old. I never used that one, it may not read from the external microSD and only the internal.
That is why I suggested flashing TWRP.

[Q] How to reflash android with locked bootloader

I have a me301t, basically the same as a tf300t right? (there is no me301t forum right now). I am on 4.2.1 stock (root), but the Bluetooth isn't working, so I am wanting to reflash the stock firmware. I want to keep a locked bootloader, so I can still have warranty if I please. I've looked up a couple of videos of how to, but I am wondering if root will mess up the flashing process. I've also been wondering if I can keep root after flash with Voodoo root keeper. Any advice?

Dear all users of TF300T.
If you are using Stock ROM (Rooted/Non Rooted) and are bricked or stuck on ASUS boot screen. Then this guide is for you.
As i was using stock ROM (ROOTED) with Locked boot loader without custom recovery and my tf300t was Sofbricked due to wrong configurations at Display Pixel scaling and also reformat did not work for me.!
So i thought to create this guide which may help people out here It worked for me Try your LUCK.
Sorry if i am re posting i did not got any guides out here...
If this helped you please give me a Thumbs up.!
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!!

Thanks, but I already figured it out, by looking on another forum. I didn't know that you could install a non-stock rom locked though

You can't without unlocking. He means a compatible Asus ROM.

The ROM has to be signed by Asus, so that method I quoted will only work for Stock ROMS
