Sounds to me like you guys got a bad download. Not sure but if you know how to flash back to honeycomb i would give that a try and then redownload the update.
To flash back to honeycomb download your proper region from here
http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download
Then UNZIP the zip file that came from asus
Copy the asus/update/ww-epad-user8.6.5.21.zip file to your microSD
Copy the ww-epad-user8.6.5.21 file to the root of your microSD
Rename the file to EP101-SDUPDATE.zip. (this is case sensitive must be caps)
Reboot to recovery by pressing vol down and power while the tab is off
When you see the text press vol up
Edit : if this works it should bring you back to honeycomb. This is also assuming you cannot get into clockworkmod.

I have the same problem, turning the TF101 off.
After a while when I look at it, its hanging on the boot screen and the circle is not spinning.
A reboot helps.
Could it be one of my news reader News360, Puls or a app like email, Friendfinder or Overlook Wiz?
These apps are always active and synch themselves at given times.
I have a few browser shortcuts. In a folder on my homescreen, after a crash like this, the shortcut icons are replaced with green android icons.

It is not a case of bad downloads. CWM or OTA, it doesn't matter, my TF is random rebooting on ICS. Honeycomb runs just fine. My report is consistent with that of other people. There IS a problem with the update, but it seems to only affect some units.

If it's the problem i hope for other update from Asus to fix it :-(
Inviato dal mio Transformer TF101 usando Tapatalk

i don't think is a bad download , 2 day straight after the update i had no problems ... now on 24 hours i had 3 reboot , 1 time hang at the Asus logo and 1 time my tf went into a some kind of bootloop ... after the download of ics update is a check file verification before the start .
so i think the problem is in ICS or a combination of ICS + some packages or some problem in kernel .

No problems for me too. Chrome is awesome. Not had one fc or random reboot.

another problem is that battery is drain faster ... but the ics is smooth and apps works great ... no fc or other problems ... i'm waiting for a revolver release

How many who have had reboots logged into g+ app?
Had been using this heavily without issues till I signed into g+. Soon after I signed in and turned off screen it rebooted and stuck at Asus screen. Held power till it restated wiped data from g+ (and never logged back in) and it hasn't happened again so far. It might be a far cry to what may be causing reboots. But I didn't have any problems till then. And I don't seem to have them now, battery is good if not better, I love it just hope it doesn't reboot again.

I agree with you, i notice one thing, battery in ICS is better then honeycomb, but after this problem it start drain faster, i don't know why, in battery settin i see "active", what is it?
As you can see, sometimes wifi is off, display is off, tab is in standby but "attivo" in english active, is still running

B50 US TF, Wipe after update.
I have just suffered the boot loop. I had to push vol- and power to get into recovery. Once there I powered off, then on again, and everything went back to normal.
I don't beleive it has something to be with the dl. There's something wrong...

The battery was drain because the screen was on at asus logo for an hour or so and went from 76% to 34%. I don't think is a battery issue with ics, just freezing at one point with screen on.

It's definitely in the update, most probably the kernel, since the bug is triggered when the device enters the deep sleep state. And probably not an app, because even after a wipe and NOT configuring a Google Account, the problem persists.

I have a stock B50 which updated successfully, no reboots or power drain issues. Make sure the tab is fully charged and plugged in to the charger before updating, it takes a long time so be patient. When it's done, it will beep and show the lockscreen. I hope the root is not causing the problem.

Same problem here, had a boot loop a day or two ago just as described in the first post. No need to go to recovery, just held the power button in until the tablet switched off, then waited a few seconds, and powered back on. I hadn't shut it down before the issue started, though, it just spontaneously rebooted and got stuck in the boot loop by itself when I wasn't around. No idea how long it had been going when my wife found it.
Spontaneous reboots were *very* rare for me on Honeycomb, and I never saw a boot loop before at all
I'm on a stock, unrooted US-market TF101-B1, and wiped both before and after installing ICS. Barely any programs had been added to the stock install when the boot loop happened...

My wife's did this today. Never rooted, it got the OTA update to ICS yesterday with no factory reset, and had been running flawlessly until the bootloop this morning. I held the power button until it reset, its been fine since. It happened exactly as described in the OP. Something is broken in the ICS ROM.

Jelly Bean update stuck at 99%

Anyone had this problem and how did you fix it?

Happened to me during one of my times toying with the update. Restart your device and let it start over. Worked for me fine the 2nd time.
same problem, download was stuck at 99%, after a reboot the notification was gone, but also the update button is disabled...
Had this too - just rebooted and then checked for update again and it worked.

Help. Cannot get into recovery

Recently my power button took a crap on me, and about the same time I noticed j cannot boit into recovery. I've tried multiple different ways, and every time it just boot loops. Shows me the Samsung logo then a black screen and repeats forever. The only way I can get out of the loop is to pull battery and enter download mode then reboot. I've tried reinstalling the newest recovery again also. Anyone have any bright ideas? I can't wipe anything or install anything new, and I'm getting frustrated. :banghead:
Thank you ahead of time

Which recovery are you actively using (or trying to)? If its cwm, are you sure you got the right one for our phone? Download ROM manager and let it flash the correct cwm and then try rebooting if that still doesn't work odin the phone to stock, reroot and attempt again

I sent my GS3 in with the same problem. The phone power button started to do crazy things and would not stay in download mode or in recovery mode long enough to flash anything. They are sending it back fixed today. Samsung knows about the motherboard going bad on these devices but they wont tell you about it.

How long of a turn around was it? I think that is the only solution. Also, did you deal with samsung directly? What did you tell them?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Yup called them directly. I told them that it was rooted but had a hardware problem. They told me that I can send it in since it was still under manufacturers warranty and they would tell me if it could be fixed. Sent it in on May 28th. Just got email that they are sending it back fixed.

Wish I saw this earlier. But the easiest way to boot into recovery without a power button is using terminal emulator.
Type in
Su
Reboot recovery
Same can be done for download mode.
Edit: nevermind, this was already mentioned.

so i tried to revert back to stock last night using odin and something went terribly wrong. still believe it is due to my power button. i got one section as failed and one as passed in odin. the phone shut off at the end and said it was rebooting, but it never did. eventually i unplugged it and tried to get it on with no luck. if i pull the battery and reinsert it, the phone vibrates, and i get a screen that says "Samsung, custom" with and unlocked pad lock. i have never seen this screen before. i also can only get to download mode for about 2-3 seconds before the screen goes black again. So i cannot retry the process, i now have a brick. Anyone have any suggestions? i was going to send it back to samsung today, but i don't believe they will touch it in this state.
reading up on hard bricks, and mine doesn't seem to be quite that since i can get into download mode. It just doesn't stay there, the screen turns off after a few seconds. obviously not long enough to odin. any help would be GREATLY appreciated. i now have no phone... this shall be interesting with the lady friend :laugh:

As long as you get into download mode you're still ok. Send it into samsung and tell them your issue with the power button. They will fix your hardware issue and will load the stock rom back onto your phone.
I don't think they care as long as your phone isn't hard bricked. I'm sure they use odin anyways to update every phone that comes out of their service center.
Can anyone confirm this is correct?

Is my tablet bricked?

I know there have been many threads about similar problems and I don't want to clutter the forum but I haven't found an answer to my particular issue after three days of searching and reading.
I had a ICS unlocked bootloader and Pacman ROM installed with TWRP 2.2. I wanted to upgrade the bootloader, recovery, and rom. I was able to download and install TWRP 2.4.4 with no problems but when I tried to install TWRP 2.5 I ran into problems. The outdated PAC ROM loaded but then I tried to boot into recovery and now am stuck in a bootloop. It just goes to the Asus splash screen and reloads the splash screen again and again.
I have tried holding down the volume button but it does nothing, I've tried letting the battery run out then charging and holding the volume button down and it still loops. I can't load the ROM or recovery.

You install TWRP with fastboot. Fastboot comes before the spinning dots. If you hold volume down+power, you'll get to it, am I wrong?
I get the spinning Asus logo even when I hold volume down. No matter what I do I still get the spinning Asus logo.

Is your TF101 rooted or are you running the stock ROM?
Is it fully charged?
It is worth fixing as there are ROMs for the TF101 at the moment which give it a brand new lease of life!
Sounds like a low battery to me.

Can you still boot to recovery using VOL DOWN and POWER, then VOL UP when you see the RCK message?
Also, keep in mind that tool has not been updated in over a year so the recovery is a bit outdated. Did you try flashing any ROM or anything other than the SuperSU.zip?
Are you using a TF101G? If not, we should be able to restore it with NVFlash if necessary.

[Q] Bricked? TF300

Hello,
I ran CM's in-android update utility to update to CM 10.2 last night and it hosed my tablet.
My TF300 gets stuck at the ASUS logo screen. When I power it off it boots right back to the ASUS screen. If I push the VOL UP button twice before it reboots it will stay off.
Can't get it into recovery mode by pressing VOL DOWN and POWER, still gets stuck at ASUS screen.
My computer wont see it; I can't get fastboot to do anything with it, < waiting for device >. This is the same computer that I used fastboot to initially flash clockwork so it is setup correctly. Windows 7 64-bit.
Is it bricked beyond repair? If not how do I proceed?
Thank you
P.S. I'm not sure what other information you may need, and I can't remember some of the specifics. I can't get to that informaiton now due to it not booting.

Sure, but I am afraid I am out of ideas. Rescue requires either fastboot, recovery/adb or a set of nvflash blobs created before.
