TF101 B80 stuck on ASUS boot screen - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My tablet recently froze when i was not able to turn off my wifi in the settings of my Revolution 3.1 ROM. I have tried to boot up since this and now it is stuck on the ASUS boot screen with the circle.
I am able to boot to cwm 3.2.0.1 and wipe data/flash the rom again, but no matter what I do, it is stuck on the same screen.
I recently tried doing a cold boot and a factory reset/wipe data in the recovery menu, but when i choose to wipe data, after it loads the recovery kernal image, all i get is the android triangle.
What else can I try?

I have the same problem with my TF101. Are you able to find a solution to your problem.

Maybe a problem in kernel or /system partition, try to flash the ROM again may fix the problem.

Same......

I have the same problem.....
I rooted, installed Rom Manager to get CWM Recovery installed and then flashed the new CyanogenMod 10 - B1 ♦ K.A.T. As soon as I restarted, after it appeared that the flash went fine, it hung at the boot screen - not frozen just wont go any further.
I tried rebooting by holding the power button, I tried re-flashing both the CY 10 and the original Rom and tried "restoring" my backed up rom.
I have tried recovering through Easy Flasher but I don't think my PC is seeing the transformer properly.
I have ADB drivers installed but because the TF dose not boot properly it dose not seem to get there.
I have let the battery drain as some report a resolve when they get it to power down all the way but as soon as I plug it in and power it up it goes back to the boot screen and stays there.
Please help as I cant afford to lose this pad (yes I knew the risks).

Same issue, I can't get my computer to recognize the tablet to push any files to it, and I can't mount it from TWRP. What can I do?

Have you guys tried wiping out before flashing? Wipe out the cache,system, and all other partitions.

[Q] HELP

Hey everyone im trying to unroot my transformer.I instaleed repacked-8.2.3.13_US+root-CWR-update.zip.Rebooted it and then i shut it back down.I then booted into clockword mod and installed this recovery 8239usrecovery zip.After that i wiped cache,data and system.I rebooted and now im stuck on the eeepad asus boot screen.When i try to go into recovery i get the triangle.Is there anything i can do?Or did i brick my transformer by formatting the system?Please some one help.
never delete system as it is what has all of the stock apps and framework and library. So it will not boot. The stock firmware will NOT install if you do not have everything in system perfectly. If possible try to use NVFlash to get back to a stable rom if not i don't know if there is anything you can do.

Don't do **** if you don't know what you're doing or you don't have the full instructions in front of you...
What you've done is the following equivalent in any PC or laptop:
Start PC/Laptop with LiveCD/RescueCD
Format C: (or /dev/sda)
Try to start PC/Laptop
Start to ROFL!
You were supposed to flash the stock rom from asus before flashing the recovery.
Try downloading the rom from asus, unizziping it and placing it on your microSd card and see if theres a prompt to update the rom when you attempt to go into recovery.
Als you could try wiping it again.
Boot while holding the volume down button, When the text shows up don't press anything, wait and you'll get two images show up. Press volume down highlight select wipe cache, the volume up to confirm.
See if that works.
Thanks i will try that now.

Stuck in startup animation loop

I unlocked and rooted my tablet yesterday and everything appeared to be working fine. After using it for a couple hours and restarting it a few times it stopped working and is now locked in a boot loop. When I try boot the tablet it comes on and gets to the animation where the glint of light goes across the Asus logo but it does not finish and instead it stops there and I get the moving circles at the bottom. I've left it running there for several hours and it just hangs.
I've tried erasing the data and booting to linux but the same thing happens when I try either of those.
I've also tried flashing a number of different ROMs, but all that happens is it starts installing and then I get the Android guy on his side error screen.
I hadn't done anything to the ROM and was still running 10.6.1.14.4. I even downloaded that same ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266519 but I get the same error message when I try flash that ROM.
I would really, REALLY appreciate any ideas at all - and thanks in advance for any suggestions.

this gonna sound odd but i had exact same prob when i rooted and flashed chromix rom. it went. what i did was flash it once with the rom with secure wipe, then i flashed again. and it got stuck at optimizing apps,then i tried reflashing couldnt get it to boot, what i ended up doing was using clockwork mod to factory reset my tablet, then had to restart, and reflash, this time it actually got to main screen. dont let it discharge/reboot for awhile as im bout to post a issue im having with it. but thats what i did to make it work for me.

I'm not sure I understand --- how do I get to the clockwork mod if i can't get past the startup animation? And I've tried a bunch of roms with secure wipe and i get an error from every one of them.
didnt you install clockwork mod first?

the thing i found showed me to installed the clockwork mod first before i did any flashing, i rooted device then i flashed once clockwork mod was installed, i had to root, then install rom manager and goo manager, from within there i installed the clockwork recovery script/mod then i proceeded to flash chromi-X DEODEX.
Did you flash the correct bootloader? I had the same problem, look for my posts in the last few pages of ChromiX.

Seems to me you installed Asus factory stock rom JB 4.2.1 (10.6.1.14.4), which means you have the latest bootloader, then you unlocked and rooted your device, however, you never installed any custom recovery like TWRP or CWM (clockmod). Now your device is boot looping. You need to boot into stock recovery by turn off your device, hold volume down and power button until you see white text on the screen, now release both buttons, you should see 3 icons (RCK, Android and wipe data). NOW you are in fastboot mode. Let me know at least you can get that far, before we continue....

buhohitr -- You're exactly right. I can boot into stock recovery. When I select Android or wipe data it goes back to the animation screen and hangs up. When I select RCK it goes to the Android guy and says installing update but then it show him fallen over and the word Error. I've tried RCK with a memory card that has a number of different ROMs on it but the same thing keeps happening.

Give this a try, the factory Asus firmware zip file that you downloaded, unzip the file, you should see another zip file, rename this new zip file to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip" (without quotation), then copy it to the root of your sdcard then boot into stock recovery and execute the RCK again. Make sure you don't have any other zips laying around in the root of your sdcard.
You are truly a god among men.

THIS WORKED!!! Thanks so much. I was really worried I had bricked it.
So now one last question --- WHY did that work? Is there somewhere I could go to read up on this kind of stuff? I've tried surfing the XDA forum but there's a lot of stuff like this where someone gets there problem solved, but not much explaining why something worked so I can learn more about it.

Somehow the stock recovery was reinstalled on your tablet, thus letting this method work. It however does not on CWM or TWRP. All you did was manually reinstall a stock rom back onto your tablet. How it got the stock recovery is beyond me unless you flashed a stock ROM from CWM and didnt realize what you were installing.

Since the JB 4.2.1 upgrade, this is the most reliable method to install Asus full stock firmware. Also, since you're unlocked, let root the device by go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230763 download the tool and root it. Once rooted, I suggest that you should install TWRP custom recovery, by download Goomanager from the market, open the app and tab on the 3 little boxes on the top right hand corner, select "install recovery scripts" , this will shutdown your device and install custom TWRP recovery script, once this installed, you can download "rebooter" from the market and this app has many options, one of them is allowed you easily boot into custom recovery.

[Q] SOLVED Problem flashing CyanogenMod 9.1.0 Stable

I rooted my MT4GS a few months ago but stuck with the stock ROM. I decided I wanted to try out the CyanogenMod 9.1 ICS ROM. I followed the following steps:
1) Installed ROM Manager.
2) ROM Manager indicated a newer version of ClockworkMod Recovery and I installed it (5.0.2.7).
3) Using ROM Manager, did a full backup of the current ROM. All went well.
4) Using ROM Manager, downloaded and installed CyanogenMod 9.1.0 stable-doubleshot. I specified to wipe the data and cache partitions. The installation seemed to go normally.
When the phone rebooted, it was stuck at the logo screen. Had to remove the battery to turn it off. Tried a couple times, still the same.
Since I had the backup, I decided I would use CWM to restore the old ROM.
When I boot into recovery mode, it shows CWM 5.0.2.7, but whatever option I try to choose from the recovery menu, The screen just goes blank with the CWM logo in the middle and nothing else happens. Hitting the power button returns me to the menu, but no option works, even power down or reboot. It just goes back to the CWM logo again and I have to remove the battery to shut it down.
So, I thought I would try using fastboot to flash the ROM again. When I boot the phone into the boot loader and select fastboot, then plug the phone in via USB, nothing happens. Windows does not see the phone and ADB or fastboot don't see it either. It's not a driver issue, as the computer is still setup from when the computer was rooted and I connect the phone all the time with no problems.
When the phone is off and plugged into USB or the charger, I still get the charging light, though it goes off after about 10 seconds, then comes back on and cycles like that.
Is there anything I can try at this point, or is my phone bricked? It seems like I followed all the steps correctly. Is there an update.zip I can put in the root folder and see if it picks it up?
Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, after rebooting Windows, I was able to get the USB connection to the phone to work in fastboot. It seems I missed the step described in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508556
which states with S-ON you must flash the boot.img separately. I did that via fastboot and the phone boots into cyanogenmod now.
However, I still seem to have the issue with clockwordmod recovery. As long as I do the recovery functions from rom manager, everything is fine, but when I manually boot into the recovery menu, I get the same behavior of any choice from the menu just blanks the screen except for the CWM logo and nothing happens. I tried reflashing the recovery image using fastboot, but still no go.

This is solved also. Seems on the MT4GS, the trackball is the selection button. The power button appears to only be a back button.
What a thread! Two nicely phrased problem definitions, two well explained solutions, and all from the same guy. Sorry we weren't able to help directly, but you obviously found the answers you needed elsewhere in the forum. And you updated the title as well to show it was solved. Thanks.

[Q] HELP. All I have is the Android spinning

My devise is unlocked, rooted and I have flashed clockwork recovery. I backed up my system using clockwork and was still using my ASUS system. I wanted to reset the tablet to factory and when I did it just went to the Android. After 20 minitues I realized there was a problem since it kept spinning. I tried to reboot to recovery by holding down the power and down vol keys but it will not go to recovery. Any Ideas? any Help.
No one will believe this

So I was really upset about the tablet and just left it in the loop. Even after I attempted to re-boot it several times I was trying to let the battery run out. Well after about an hour it booted into the factory reset tablet. I'm going to leave it alone!! No more roms or recovery's for me. All I saw was $400 down the drain. Thank God its running again.
Next time you can follow these steps in order to install the stock ROM.:
http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...er-update-your-me301t-using-adb-fastboot.html
It works with fastboot which means that you can flash the ROM even if the device is bootloops.
It saved more than once

Need help flashing Katkiss 6.0.1 , Recovery Partition Not Found / Nothings Working

So, I just decided to try and Flash the old TF101 with Katkiss 6.0.1 and Gapps, but I always get stuck on the same problem.
My TF101 is running Android 4.0.3 ICS and USB Debugging is on
I downloaded TWRP app on the transformer, as well as the latest .blob flash file through the app.
Before this, I rooted the tablet using Kingroot.apk, which worked. When I went to flash the tablet with the recovery, the app noted "Recovery Partition not found".
I tried to boot into recovery mode on my own, (Pressing Pwr + Volume down , Then hitting Volume Up), The android screen popped, up and then flashed to a fallen android with a red triangle.... The screen stays on this for a minute and then boots into the normal system. I can't even boot into recovery through ADB, using the
Code:
adb reboot recovery
, The tablet will just reboot normally, not into recovery mode.
The Device does recognize through ADB....
Is my recovery partition just non existent? Even when I just let the system though without pressing volume up, it only gives me the option of (Android) or (Erase Data). when I click erase data, ill stay on the asus loading screen indefinitely and nothing will happen until i turn it off and on.
I just cant seem to boot into TWRP for some reason, and that means I just cant install the downloaded custom ROM.
How Can I fix this and boot into TWRP? I've tried for hours and have been hung up due to the same problem each time, even after rooting.
Did you already solve that problem? I also need a solution.Thanks
