[Q] How to unbrick my transformer?

So here's my story. I rooted my transformer (rooted with razorclaw and CWM recovery, had no problems) and I wanted to update the firmware, sooo. I followed some walk through on unrooting by downloading the stock recovery and stock rom to my sdcard then unzipping them and loading them with CWM recovery. I let it boot and rebooted to load in the stock rom. Then I rebooted and loaded the stock recovery and rebooted again. And now it wont start up past the "Asus Eee pad Transformer" screen and just stays on it. I can get into part of stock recovery and wipe data and cold boot linux. But when I try to get into the other half of recovery options it just does the little robot unpacking the stuff then I get a triangle with an exclamation mark saying it failed to load. I tried using NVflash with the prime v1.4 ROM and failed. The starting S/N is B90 so that's why I figured NVflash didn't work...Because I have V2 SBK not V1. I can go into APX mode but it's getting really frustrating, WHAT CAN I DO??

I don't think you were supposed to unzip those files. Those are CWM flashable zip files

I actually dont think I did unzip them so ignore that...I used this method at the unlockr

Yeah cause i was thinking if you did unzip it wouldn't flash anyway.
How long does is sit at the asus screen?

forever until it dies, I can only get partially into recovery like I mentioned. Also when it charges it just shows that screen too(had to charge it cuz I got so frustrated I just left it and it ended up dying).

Please someone help, I have no idea how to flash a rom to my Device without NVflash. Is there some other program I could try that would work? I basically just need to flash a rom onto my device then I can try installing stock recovery again

Long shot but maybe try this, it's what peoples are doing to downgrade. Hopefully the recovery might pick it up after you reboot into recovery.

I'll try this, but the download is taking forever...I'll have to update tomorrow thanks for your help

I tried in both the LOST.DIR folder and the main directory...the device didn't recognize it. I don't know what to do

Is there any other way to flash a rom on my transformer besides NVflash? or any other method? I'm up for anything now...does anything think if I sent it in to company they could do a restore?

The company could do a restore, but they will probably charge you since you rooted. You could try, or you could lie, and say it goobered after installing the update.

HELP!!!! Transformer froze in Recovery

I was having an issue with an OC kernel that I installed on my Transformer so I rebooted back into recovery. I sat my tablet down to take a phone call, and came back to the tablet and now its froze. Do I have to actually wait until it dies?

hold power button till it restarts then you shold be able to get into recovery or go into apx mode and nvflash your rom

you have to flash a different kernel from recovery quick before it freezes again, happened to me a few times

Same problem... for resolved that, full wipe with script on Revolution HD post

Try flashing back the ROM related stock Kernel and see what happens (should fix the problem directly)
If not then try to flash back your backup (in case you did that).
If the recovery is completely frozen and you cant flash anything than the only resource is nvflash the rom you want.
For that full wipe is recommended.

[Q] Help i think i bricked my system

So i got a new T F 300T yesterday and wanted to root it today.
I unlocked it and rooted it successfully. But then I tried installing a recovery. Installed CWM using fastboot. tried booting into it using RCK. It says booting into recovery mode and just reboots to OS. Installed CMW touch, same problem. Installed TRWP since i read that cmw has some problems.Now i used the 1 click root 1.1 to boot into recovery mode. The device now keeps rebooting. IT starts on the asus screen, then reboots again. So im stuck in a boot loop. When I press vlm dwn +power, it doesnt give me a menu anymore , instead it says that its rebooting into recovery mode and reboots again. Im freaking out right now, anyway to recover my device? Or is it 400 bucks down the dran? I dunno why this happened , since i am not new to flashing ROMs and stuff, and ususally test out new ROMs using my GNex. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi there, sucks to hear what happened..
I believe you haven't put in enough research, ASUS has a publicly available unlocker for the 300T, why did you use a 3rd party root app?
Can you still boot Android? If you have root and your recovery partition is broken, there should still be a way to overwrite the recovery partition.
If not, this basically looks like a brick, unless you can hook up a debugger during the boot process somehow.
Someone with in-depth knowledge of this device might be able to help you out further, I'm just theorycrafting here.. Best of luck!

I would try using fastboot to reflash stock firmware, which you can download from the Asus website.
You could also try getting into APX mode and using nvflash to reflash it.

[Q] Cant wipe transformer tf101

I was using my transformer for about 6 months and decided to take it to the next level and root it. so all went well and i got it rooted and then decided to add a custom rom. Now keep in mind I am a major NOOB. So i install rom manager from the play store and follow a video guide to put a jellybean rom on it. So i follow it and i crewed up somewhere. but now it just gets stuck at the boot logo. when i try to go into clockword mod recovery it works but fails to mount anything. When i try to wipe it just gets stuck and stays that way intil its have to force it to power off (trust me it not gonna do anything at the wipe screen i left it trying for an hour and nothing happened). So now im stuck with this broken transformer thats not able to do anything

ROM Manager does NOT work for the TF101.
Use EasyFlasher to flash CWM or TWRP using APX mode.

Error loading recovery - trying to install CROMI

I unlocked my stock TF700T using the Asus Unlock Tool with 10.6.1.14.8 installed. It does say the device is unlocked in the upper left hand corner during boot. I then installed Goomanager and installed TWRP 2.5.0.0 as directed. It gave a very small splash screen indicating successful installation. Then when I execute the boot into recovery, it appears to try to install an update and then fails with the Red Exclamation "Error" android.
I've tried repeating the steps to no avail. I was able to wipe data so I think that my stock recovery is still in place. I also tried to install ADB Tool as an alternative way to install TWRP, but my Infinity would not unzip the package correctly and I couldn't install it. Can anyone help me get TWRP in place and boot into recovery so I can flash the CROMI ROM? Thanks.

I was able to use the ADB Tool on my computer to flash the TWRP recovery onto the TF700. Thanks to all those who looked at this, but I'm on my way again to flashing a ROM. Guess I needed to give myself another hour to figure it out.

You have to root your tab before you can use Goomanager to install TWRP.
Use the motochopper tool to root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258633
Run Goo again and give it root access. Now you will be able to install TWRP.
