[Q] HELP unbricking my b70+ device please - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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
YOURS,

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.

[Q] no updates and no current recoveryimage

Hello,
my Transformer won't update since i flashed the stock WW 8.6.5.7 onto it.
First the pad has the version DE 8.6.5.13 and it was rooted. Then i encrypted my pad and problems appears.
So I flashed the only stock version I found onto it (WW 8.6.5.7)
Anybody knows this problem or how i can fix this?
Anybody knows the dirfferent between DE and WW versions?
I searched for a DE version (boot-, recovery-, systemimages) but i got nothing.
Does anyone have the current images? DE or WW 8.6.5.13?
I'd be really grateful for any help.
Thank you!
go to asus.com then find the transformer click downloads and download the latst DE frimware from there and place it in you /asus folder on your sdcard make sure your batter is above 50% arnd reboot
Thank you mrevankyle,
but I never try this because ASUS wrote it cannot convert from WW to DE version.
I moved the file to /sdcard/asus/ but nothing happens after reboot
Then I try:
/sdcard/asus/DE_epad-user-8.6.5.13.zip
/sdcard/asus/META-INF/*
/sdcard/asus/blob
/sdcard/asus/UpdateLauncher_DE_epaduserV8_6_5_13.zip
It won't work
No ideas?

Ok, rename the .zip file to: EP101_SDUPDATE.zip and put it in the root of your sd card. Turn your tf off and then hold power+volume down button. Then you will see a little white textand then press vol up. Then it should update

I try to put the EP101_SDUPDATE.zip in the root of the sdcard and reboot
after VolDown+Power then VolUp the Android-Symbol appears with the yellow triangle and nothing happens
The eeePad was not updated
I think you can only convert the country code via nvflash. This means that you need to flash the stock DE firmware via nvflash. Then you can apply DE updates. This will completely erase your TF.
You can download the firmware from asus, unblob the blob (use rayman's tools http://androidroot.mobi/2011/05/06/blob-tools/), then use nvflash to flash all the partitions. Be sure to use the new EBT/bootloader or else you'll get bootloops.
Alternatively, you might be able to flash this via the staging partition, but the stock firmware might be too large. I'm not 100% sure this method will work. The system partition can be flashed via recovery, but to convert to DE, you need to flash the DE EBT/bootloader. This will still require the blob tools.

[Q] Tf101 stuck at eee pad logo

Please help. i think i had bricked my tf. i can access the cold boot menu. wipe data but still.. it cannot pass the eee pad logo. i cannot even see the asus logo (with rotating thingy)
i googled and searched but nobody ever had this problem. please help. i tried unroot but now it seems dead. saddddd~
* i root with razorclaw with stock rom.. and to unroot i used this method [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21160151&postcount=96] but now my asus wont boot!
my asus is b70kas114525
Can you give a little more information? what is the serial #?
What exactly were you doing to get to this state? Flash something?
i posted additional details above. thx for the concern
With a B70 you have a 50/50 chance of it having SBK v1.
Try NVFlash unbricking method.
put the stock rom on your micro sd card, boot into recovery mode and flash the stock rom again

If you have the stock ROM file on your sd card and boot into stock recovery, it should see it and flash it by itself. Try that first to see if it work.

Download the latest version from Asus site.
Unzip the download file and you see another zipfile named US_epad-user-10.4.4.20.zip, copy this file to the root of your sd card (don't put it in any folder). Reboot your device, once device boot up, open up the notification and you should see the update, tab on this and it will update.
does not give me the option to install the 4.20.zip something still must be wrong
I encountered this error once. I was able to troubleshoot it, but I cannot remember very clearly what I did. It's probably because either 1) you have not unzipped the file (you need the zip file that's in the zip file you downloaded), 2) because there should be no spaces in the file name (and yet some have reported success when they renamed the file to contain a space where normally the underscore would be located; and 3) it should be located on the root of the microSD card-- no other location seems to work dependably.
If all three are OK, get back in here and well take the matter from there.

TWRP is custom recovery instead of stock default recovery come with your tf700. It uses to flash rom/kernel etc.. You need to unlock your device to use twrp. You are no where near this step yet. Do you plan to unlock your device?
OK i got it without having to root it or anything have to re name the file to a certain name... but what asus has posted on there site with an 11-7 date is actually from October 26 ......WTF Asus

[Q] Manually update to JB 4.2 w/ unlocked bootloader. No root

Hello,
I have JB 4.1.1. I'm trying to upgrade to JB 4.2. I have unlocked the bootloader and been trying to root with no success (I've tried many ways). Now I'm trying to upgrade to JB 4.2 but the tablet won't boot on recovery mode. When I try to boot on recovery mode I get the laying android robot with the red exclamation mark.
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!

This is your stock recovery. You need to install a recovery. You can do this using the ABD tool in the Dev section. After you have a better recovery, which I suggest at least TRWP 2.4.4, Flash the zip in the stock 4.2.1 thread that has TWRP 2.5 and 4.2.1 Boot loader. 4.1.1 will run on the 4.2.1 boot loader. After that then flash the stock 4.2.1 in the same thread. It is pre rooted. This is all if your unlocked.

Unzip the file then rename the unzipped file to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip" (without the quote), then copy it to the root of your micro sdard, boot into recovery by hold volum down and power button, when you see the white text on the screen let go both buttons, then hit volume up twice, it should flash the firmware file

The guy with the exclamation mark ISSSSS your recovery. It is not a full interface. It will only flash a rom if there is one available, if it is not, it will do what you stated. Unzip the file downloaded from ASUS website once after downloading, then put the zip on your Micro SD card and rename it EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip. restart going into recovery and it should flash it.

Once it has booted up and you have completed your set up you will notice that you won't have root so use Motochopper to root and then download Goomanager and install trwp 2.5.0.0 recovery should you want it.

[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!!

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
