Hi,
i tried to unroot my TF101G with method posted here and it ended with bootloop. I made all steps of instruction (I used Eee Pad Transformer TF101G Firmware: V8.6.6.23 from this site).
I tried wipe data as well. Could anyone please tell me what to do?
Sorry for my English.
You know you're probably the 2nd person I've seen this week with this problems after following that exact thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507322
All you can do at this point is try to put the latest TF101G firmware on your sd card, boot into stock recovery and see if it will flash it.
you mean holding vol down button and then up?
I tried, there is process bar, and then android image with ! sign in it :/

Did you extract the files out of that zip after download?
I think there's an Asus folder than an Update folder after that there's a zip folder inside that. That's the file need to be on the sd card.
tried both in folders and with WW_epad-user-8.6.6.23.zip on root of sd card, neither of those worked .
Any hope Asus service would fix it and won't find out I messed it?
They can void my warranty, I just want my tablet working .
edit:
I fixed it thanks to rayman84 and his Nvflash unbricking tool (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123429)
I was so scared

same problem, but if I start download.bat (Nvflash), the device just disconnects and the bat window collapses. What to do?
Solved
1)Enter recovery
2)connect to PC and install adb driver
3)use "adb push" command to copy a firmware file to PDA
4)install the firmware in recovery
P.s. it's important to update the recovery first of all
Congrats!

Hi everyone, I've got a BIG problem with my sbk2 TF101.
I don't know why but I cannot access the Recovery. I don't know if it is actually installed or not, but I cannot access it nor I can flash it with CWM Manager or Recovery Installer
-When I restart, it simply stucks at the EEE logo.
-I cannot boot in recovery with any of the apps made for this;
-Every time I want to start the tablet, I need to start it using cold-boot (first, vol- and power, and then vol+), because it seems to be always starting in recovery.
-Without recovery I cannot flash a new recovery or a new rom, and I'm stucked with an AOKP cooked in the firsts days of may (I don't remember the name)
-I've got random and frequent reboots, freezes, and can't do something for more than 5 min because the tablet freezes.
-Standard voltages.
-My tablet is not recognized when I plug it in Windows or Mac OSX, didn't try with Ubuntu.
Please help me!
Thank you very much in advance for your great help.
Don't do any wipes, as that may be unrecoverable. I don't see why recovery installer isn't working, you should have root. Sounds like some stuff is seriously messed up. You can try using flash_image to manually flash a recovery.img with ADB or with a virtual terminal, that's about all I can think of now. Find the boot.img, and flash_image files and put them on root of SD and run appropriate commands, more info should be in recovery dev sections.

First of all, thanks a lot for trying helping me.
The problem is that I don't know how to use ADB or wich commands should I use or where I could find the boot.img. Using a virtual terminal means running a trminal on the tablet? Can I use the internal memory instead of an SD card? I can confirm I've still got root, by the way.
Please, could someone help me? I think I need to overwrite the recovery image manually, but I don't know how to.

Use PERI/my easyflasher tool to reflash recovery from nvflash.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
Hello guys, I have a problem with my tf101! is brick, and only goes with apx.provo easyflasher wheelie but returns error when it finishes loading bootloader towards the closed dell'applicazione!
sorry for the English, are Italian
I figured out that the OP had the ROM manager bootloop :/
Romyfra - is it a Tf101 Wifi-only or a Tf101G, if it's a Tf101 then you can use NvFlash to reflash it
I brick my wifi tf101 with serial bcoka ..., ICS v24ww 1.6e 4.0.3 I can not even come out with a wheelie! This is what I done, done correctly with the root easyflasher 0.4, after I stupidly installed netformer 1.6 (that idiot) and restart it disappeared with the cmw.ho riflashato easyflasher and end of proceedings, the tab will not light! is only apx, so no recovery! the problem is that when I start wheelie crash and does not pass to nvflash! is possible that the flash is corrupt?? as a last resort if you think I'll send you notice of changes in the RMA? ICS had no stock and cmw più.possono dump and see what happened or there is no trace?? thanks
ok guys what i have is a B70 Transformer that im trying to fix for someone.......
Ive managed to get touch recovery onto the pad via brks tool.......but its internal only.
It boots into recovery fine. (asus recovery had me stuck with android with triangle)
How the heck do i push a fully working stock rom zip onto the internal card?
Ive never had to do this before so need a little step by step guide.
I cant get the pad to show in device manager but surely if i can flash the alterate recovery i can get something onto the internal sd........maybe
ive tried the other tools but i cant get the pad to show (thing of dooms tool)
the whole adb thing has me pickled.
Just to make it clear the TF gets stuck on the eee pad logo so cant boot in to change any settings........tried cold boot from linux and data wipe but it just reboots back to the same position.
Some options:
-If you can get ADB working, you could push the needed file to internal sd.
-Use NVFlash to flash a working ROM
-You could also try and get Team Rouge recovery on as it read from both internal and external sd card.
Try this by Thing O Doom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681155
Commands:
adb push \path\too\blob /sdcard/
Then flash in cwm. You can use adb tools from PERI. You need working drivers and to be in recovery for adb to show.
Otherwise Use NvFlash (Same as brks tool used) to flash Rouge, int and ext. They have an nvflash version on their thread. PERI will have this functionality soon.
well i dunno what i done but i think i may have cracked it.........
i was using brks tool again and cant remember what i clicked on but it managed to flash me another recovery for external sd
fortunately i had ww i.c.s on my external sd card as i always keep a back up for myself on int and ext as a rule of my own and finally after about 3 hours of pulling hair...............JACKPOT! its just booted into the welcome screen
Cheers guys for your responses.....if in doubt, trial and error - but never give up!!
Think il put rogue on it just incase and pray that they dont mess it up (its a customers and still in gtee / or was lol + they dont know its me thats fixing it )
damn......just stopped the fota running and now i cant get passed recovery. it just boots back into recovery even after reflashing the full ww. shouldve just left it!! grrr
ok so its cold booting ok from linux ok......what u think i should do? fota?
How actually you stop fota?

when u select RCK does the green Light glow keep on Blinking or not?
Are you using unlocked boot loader??
When I select RCK the blinking stops.
My tablet says in the upper left corner that my device is unlocked.

What problem exactly are you facing?? Can you boot into android??
Do u have CWM recovery or TWRP??
Did u follow all steps?? r u using the same SKU as u r tablet??
The problem I am facing is that I do not have a recovery working. I cannot access recovery at all. I was trying to update the tablet by downloading the official firmware and placing it on the root of the sdcard. But it wont recognize the update when in Android. (I can boot into Android.)
HI
I think then try to re flash your recovery first using fast bot method...then try this guide again..
or the last option is send to ASUS..:silly::silly::silly:
Is this method work with every firmware, and is it work on me301t?

After Update 7-29-13
Similar problem 300t does'nt go past the asus startup screen, when i tried to do a wipe and restore it just goes back to the asus load screen (with spinning circle)and sits and spins, so then I tried reinstalling from micro sd card using the trick where u rename the file to EP201 after trying to reinstall the newest version and an earlier version from the microsd and got the dead android (same results for both )and when I use recovery I get the android guy and loading bar and he fall over dead with error, but when turning it back on, everything goes back to the stuck loading screen. If you connect the tablet to a pc it says usb driver install failed and if you try to force driver install through device manager, the driver install completes but then says the device cannot start. asus sync does not see it , I want to try to put the ep201 file in the SDCARD folder in the internal sdcard but cannot perform this because the pc cannot see the tablet. any help or suggestions would be appreciated.The un rooted tablet Was running 4.2 just fine before i tried the new ota update 7-29-2013 and thats when this happened , I tried to call Asus, since my warrenty had expired last month they said they would fix it , but it would cost me .....i explained that their update is what made it unusable, but they didnt say anything about that fact. and told me the same .... if you have a idea or have solved the same issue PLEASE post
Thanks

The Title pretty much spells it out I soft bricked my TF300TL. The tablet still has a locked boot loader so I am not gettting any recognition from my computer using adb shell. Is there anyway to re-install (already have the rom) stock.
Thank You!

Hi to everybody,
I am new to this forum so I hope sobebody could help me with my problem with Asus TF700T tablet.
My Asus TF700T tablet is American version with firmware US_epad-10.6.1.14.10 and while ago my tablet stuck in
bootloop at the asus logo with spining dots and does not go further.
I did download stock firmware from ASUS site and did try to recover original firmware but it didnt work ( I got an android with a rotating geometric figure and after a minute or two I get a picture of lying android with exclamation mark)
I did try to rename and unzip stock firmware to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip and put it on my external sd card and try recovery mode (RCK) and it didnt work.
I can conect my tablet to my pc with minimal ADB and FASTBOOT program and I get alfanumeric string when I type Fastboot devices...
I should mention that the tablet does not have unlocked bootloader
So I hope that someone can help me and explain step by step how to unlock the bootloader and install any stock or custom firmware with Fastboot...
I also have to mention that I dont have any nvflash files from my tablet or anything else.....
So you guys do you have any idea with my problem?
Can I somehow downgrade firmware to earlier version or something and install stock firmware?!

You have to make sure that the sdcard is formatted FAT32 <-- I would do this even if it is already
Also there can not be anything else on the sdcard except the zip file that you renamed ....
You did unzip this zip you got from Asus ONE TIME and the zip that comes out is the one you are renaming ?
Thx Josh

Yes I did that, full format fat 32 the card and then I did copy firmware on it and rename it to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip and when I restart tablet ( yes I did unzip only once)
it starts to update tablet it shows android with a rotating geometric figure and after a minute or two tablet restarts and start to boot but it stuck at the asus logo with spining dots and does not go further
Do you have another idea what to do?
Thnanks for your advice....
With a locked bootloader that's about what you can do....
You do have file extensions showing in Windows Explorer, right? Not that you named the file ...SDUPDATE.zip.zip
Should work if the download was good....

Restart to the bootloader, choose "wipe data". Let the recovery wipe data, then it should boot like new out of the box.

Shouldn't have done that. You cannot downgrade with a locked bootloader....
Your options are extremely limited:
Wipe data from the bootloader
Flash the existing firmware in stock recovery
The reason the latter may fail are:
firmware file got corrupted during download or unzipping
you renamed it incorrectly
microSD is bad or has the wrong file format
If you eliminated all of the above and it still doesn't work sending it in to Asus is your last option - or replace the motherboard yourself.
Sorry....

AFAIK you can downgrade all the way down to 9.4.5.30. However you must wipe data when you downgrade by a major version.
I have no idea what to do if it still doesn't boot after installing a new firmware and wiping data.
