[Q] Soft Bricked, Bootloop - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I've accidently deleted all contents in /system/etc and now my tf300 won't boot anymore.
Stupid, i know!
Info: ww.30, locked, rooted, adb not working (debugging mode is off)
Any help please!
Thanks,
Marco

The same happened to me too. I have a tf300tg and it found a system update but after the first reboot it got stuck on the boot screen.
It is unblocked and rooted.
how can I unbrick it?

Tried that, but adb is not working.
Return the device to the shop.
Thanks anyway!

I still have mine, but I do not have linux installed on my pc.
I can access the tab through fastboot but not adb.
can I fix it somehow through that?
thanks.

I'm not sure but Google for "fastboot commands"

I did that, but when I want to flash something on boot, system or recovery partition it gives me the following error message:
FAILED (remote: (InsufficientMemory))
even after I eraced the partitions.
What else can I do now?

Can you download a rom and use "fastboot flash zip rom.zip"?

thanks it finally worked. Now I need to find a way to put the original rom on it. strangly enough it gives me an error message when I try to install the original rom.

Try reflashing recovery? You said you were messing with it earlier.

Tablet returned from Asus. They reflashed the device within warrenty. Root was no problem for Asus. Lucky me

Help installing CM10

I am having trouble, and since I cant post on the page where this should be asked. (this is my first post) I am asking here hoping that somebody will look...
I have rooted my verizon S3 and it works great... I am however trying to install a CM10 Rom on my device. I have followed the instructions and get all the way to selecting the zip on the sdcard. it finds it, it opens it and after about 20 seconds it gives me a status 7 error and says error in XXXXXX\XXXXX .zip
I have done all the steps perfectly and have formatted and wiped it twice trying this... I even have my backup in place...
I have tried 3 or 4 different cm10 roms and they all give me the same error... What am i over looking?
Thanks
I think you need to flash a CWM/kexec hybrid recovery.
Download the app EZ Recovery and flash the hybrid CWM 6.0.1.0

Well if he made the nooby mistake to flash cm10 with a non kexec recovery ..i think he should abandon his hopes of installing cm10 considerong the lost IMEI issue

That us not the issue... I can get into the CWM recovery just fine.. when I choose the install zip from sdcad and choose the rom it will go through finding the package, then opening the update package and then installing update... 20 seconds later i get some symlinks failed, then I get a status 7 error in the file itself..

nope and now im stuck boot looping TWRP after trying what you suggested unsuccessfully.
I appreciate the help... any ideas how I can get out of TWRP back to CWM so I can restore a backup?
Thanks..
You could always Odin back to stock then re-root and install cwm again and restore your backup. May be an easier way not sure. But back up your files on a PC if you do that.

I don't know how you are blaming me when I specifically told you to flash a ClockworkMod/Kexec recovery... not TWRP.
Seems your issue is lack of following directions. Good luck on solving your issue.

Bricked Htc One S, stuck in bootloader and Clockwork recovery

Hi everyone,
i am so very new to this. here it goes. I tried to root my HTC One S and install cm9. well the root worked. I installed the cm9 rom. that looked like it worked too. so i went to turn the phone on and it booted up ok, showed the cm9 boot up animation, then the screen went completly white and stayed like that. well i booted up into clockworkmod recovery, did a factory reset (i also did a factory reset/clear storage in bootloader), and accidentally erased everything, i think. stock rom, cm9 everything. now i can only get the phone to boot up into the bootloader or clockworkmod recovery. so i think its bricked. it tried to install the tmobile ruu and that failed. idk what to do, im really nervous i wont be able to get my phone back. cwmr also says it cant mount sd card..when i plugged the phone in to the computer, devices menu says android and sometimes it says ville. If someone is able to give me step by step instructions on how to fix this, i would greatly appreciate it because i am freaking out. I have seen the term flash around the forums idk what that means or how to do it. i also tried forcing a new rom thru adb and that didnt work. i really dont know what to do at this point. I would greatly appreciate it, if someone can help me with this.
Thanks
Frank
My guess would be: flash the stock recovery via fastboot.
Then get a RUU and install it. (and you probably just had the white screen because u didn´t flash boot.img).

try to relock your bootloader with the all in one toolkit and after that, while your phone is in fastboot usb mode with the bootloader reloked, install the offial ruu for your phone. Try to find the download of the original ruu, it is an exe file, when you run it the phone must be connected in fastboot usb, if everything goes fine the phone should be back to stock.
Ok I will try tonight. Hopefully it works.

.EXE are run on your Windows PC. Connect phone to PC in fastboot mode. Click on.exe file on PC and follow directions on PC screen.

Help :/

So I updated my bootloader to 4.2 fine, now I'm unable to install twrp, fastboot just comes back with:
sending 'recovery' (7872 KB)... FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
or sometimes I just hangs on sending...
I can't do anything :/
can anyone help?
Are you sure you are using the correct version of twrp? It is bootloader specific and in my experience WW OR US specific. Make sure you are using the 4.2 compatible version. If that is all good, try downloading again. Maybe you got a bad download or bad cable

My guess is something is wrong with your Windows installation of the Android SDK. Perhaps the USB drivers of your tablet as well?

Try a different USB port. I had this same problem when I used the front port on my computer. Once I moved to the back port everything worked like a dream. If that doesn't help it might be a bad cable.
Okay new problem, I got that working, and i flashed the 2.5 4.2 bootloader, but nothing works, nothing would boot, and now the recovery says version is 2.4.3.0, but the downloaded file that i flashed says its 2.5.0.0-4.2, it cant mount anything, I cant even get back to the fastboot screen, it just boots to recovery
edit: it can only mount the system partition too, nothing esle :/

Trying to load CM11 M1 and now in a boot loop. Haven't been able to copy the new image over yet. Unable to get into recovery mode, just the stock 'four circles' spinning. Can anyone help? Thanks

Not fubar yet buddy. Get into fastboot and proceed from there. A quick search should provide ample answers. Give me 5 and I'll write you a step by step if need be.
On my phone. Limited with links and all.

Same things been happening to me all day trying to get it to load but it is always stuck on a loop on the load screen.
To get out from it ive been disconnecting from computer and holding power off, the cyanogenmod will auto start FOR SOME REASON but just keep powering off till its dead then start up recovery wipe cache/data etc and restore your backup.
There's another thread on this same issue

That link works, thanks. Don't know why I didn't see it in my search. Following steps....
argh, driver issue now. Installed the updated USB drivers from the SDK but when I'm in CWM recovery mode I had a banged out device. Had to install the naked drivers... Boy, this is fun. :silly:
Tried every build available aswell tried both manual root/Su and CF Auto root but no combination will it load, will also do a system restore on my main rig after messing around with all the random driver installations.
Try it on a spare laptop, you never know, might get lucky.
I did notice on the log file in CWM after installation there are 2 file that cannot be installed, I do not know if that has anything to do with it or not, looks like some sort of addon folder that cant be located. Only other thing I can think of is using a more stable version of CWM.
Try twrp and see if you have the same issues. http://d-h.st/YpG. Just flash it in cwm.
If all else fails, flash a factory system image and then format /data and the cache partitions.
This will get your device working while you learn more about how to flash it, and recover it if necessary.

You flash the stock image, try extract the files and execute the flash-all batch file.

[Q] Update OTA crashed my root

Yesterday I managed to press install on the newest update, 4.4.4 on my Nexus 5. It was rooted and still is, but by installing this OTA it somehow made it crash. Now that I try to get into recovery mode I just get the android which is dead with an ! on it. It was rooted with Xposed and TWRP.
What do I do? Im on a Mac
OTA removed root replaces recovery. I'm amazed it managed to replace recovery whilst Xposed was installed. Anyway, seems like it did.
You must fastboot flash a custom recovery
