Hi all!
So my problem with my TF 101; the power button! this is the strangest thing, the power button works perfect to turn off\on the screen and to shut down the pad, but when i try to power up the pad nothing happens! i can hold the button down for ever, but still no booting going on!
Only way for me to boot the pad is to connect it to the power\data cable!
i have tried to root the tablet and install REVOLVER ROM but no change, now unrooted and using stock kernel and rom, but still no cigar!
Have read about similar problems, but everyone else is having issues with all the functions of this button.
Anyone have any ideas?
thank for the help!
I've seen this before and people have said they fixed it, but noone explained how -_- I'll look around and see if I can find a solution, did you do a total reflash?
yes, i unrooted, reflashed stock kernel and rom... still the same.
so weird it just won't work to turn the device on, when every other use of the button is painfree!
Try NvFlash --format_all
(Or Nvflash -r --format_all after wheelie if you're sbkv2)
Might fix it. ..
okey! so i finally made some progress... i unrooted and installed stock rom and kernel, then i rooted again and installed MEGATRON ROM with GUEVOR kernel. when finished i tried to power down the tablet and when trying to power up again nothing still happened at first, but suddenly the tablet starts booting!
After trying couple of more times it seem's like the screen is slow to turn on, because the trick i found out is to first hold the power button for a couple of seconds and then just push the power button several times and it comes on.
I am starting to feel like leaving it at that since it really is not a huge problem for me, but i think i will do some more research if only to help with an answere if anyone else encounter the same problem...

Me too, need to unroot.
use nvflash,
i have rooted and unrooted my Asus TF that way, easy as pie.
goes smooth and no issues (rooted to run chainfire 3d, for deadspace to run properly) figured rooted isnt for me I unrooted and everything is fine,
Unrooted
I failed rooting and bricked my TF then unbricked and rooted it then tested out the rooting experience for about an hour, and it is not what I had imagined, so I unrooted it using nvflash. I seriously did not notice that I had backed up my boot.img etc. using a GUI made for rooting that bricked my TF.
I did all this in a 6hr period, .
I have tried to unroot my TF using NVFLASH but I guess I might be something wrong. I think the first problem is that no matter what I do when I try to press volume up and the power button I can't get my TF to do anything. Now if I do volume down and power it prompts me to wipe data. If I power on my TF I can get myself into recovery mode but I'm guessing thats not the right way to do it. Can someone offer some assistance?

Turn the tablet off and then press volume up and power button and plug it in the computer. It will be in apx Mode. Screen stays off in apx mode but you will hear the connection beep from computer.

Hey all
Before anyone mentions that i should be searching around more, i would like to say that i've been on multiple threads and they all state the same thing (use NVflash to flash CWM and then boot into CWM but the solution did not work for me past flashing CWM and then trying to access recovery after) and i wasn't able to find one that had a similar problem as mine.
I have CWM flashed through NVflash and was running CM7.1 RC1. I took a screenshot with the 'shootme' app and proceeded to look at the gallery to make sure it came out okay. The gallery crashed and i was sent to the home screen. I swiped to a different homescreen when my phone froze halfway through the transition to the next screen. No combination of buttons/long presses were able to get me out of it so i went ahead and did a battery pull. So my dilemma is that now i'm stuck at the LG boot logo with no blue status bar under it. It freezes there and will not do anything every time i boot up. volume down+power does not give me access to recovery nor does any other button combo get me past the LG boot logo.
Are there any other methods i might be able to use like ADB or what not to get myself out of this situation? or at least into recovery? Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as i've been searching for hours with little help and my eyes are starting to get strained.
hmmm.. I know it's a simple question, but I gotta ask.. are you holding the pwr and volume down button long enough? you have to keep holding it even after you see the LG screen.. Keep holding until you see the 2nd screen?
If so.. do the nvflash again? Edit: Not sure if I would do this without getting further guidance tho..

This. I remember when I boot looped my phone I had the problem of letting go of the volume key too early, you need to hold down volume and power from a totally powered off phone until recovery actually starts and you see the green "android" logo of CWM.
Try re-flashing CWM, NVFlash CAN fail. There is literally nothing you can do within the OS that will prevent recovery from working. Either you did something wrong somewhere along the recovery process or you discovered an entirely new problem with the phone. I'm going to hazard a guess and say it's the former.
Thanks for the response guys. I wish that it was the case of not holding the buttons long enough. I have tried numerous times with the buttons held down for a long period of time. I even held the combo down for almost 5 minutes a few times.
Every time i try to boot up, it won't go past the LG boot screen so i would pull the battery out and go through flashing CWM through NVflash again. I'm sure I'm not missing anything because everything goes through and gets sent to the phone successfully.
I did happen to run into a thread that was closely similar to mine but his method was to just keep reflashing CWM and the stock recovery back and forth every time it failed until it turned on. I might have to try that if i cannot figure out this problem out soon. Not being able to use this phone is killing me! heh.
I just joined your club. Wow this sucks.
So apparently this is a whole new problem that's been found? Every other help thread seems to point to using NVflash or remaking the partitions due to a bad flash using an O2x based file instead of G2x.
But none of those solutions come close to doing anything. There has been some people with the same problem as me but aren't proactive at all enough to get someone's attention, so i'm guessing this problem is getting pushed to the side with people just going about getting their phones replaces/buying new ones.
I did happen to run into a thread on paulobrien/modaco's forum that had people using NVflash to get out of any sticky situation like this. It just reverts everything back to the stock factory settings but with root. We cannot use this though because he hasn't built it to be compatible with our LGP999's because everything was built for their UK LGP990's. Maybe that's a start to getting this solution fixed?
I hate to say this, bit you might have to call t mobile and get a replacement. Flash back to stock recovery and they won't know you messed with anything.

Don't send back....you'll get same defacement a battery pull go into nvflah and go back stock then flash nv flash fix pArtitions
As I have mentioned before, NVflash does NOT give me access to my recovery let alone solve anything else. NVflash DOES work and does sucessfully send both CWM and the stock recovery but when I try to boot into either of them, let alone just power on normally, it simply DOES NOT go past the LG boot screen. it just hangs there doing nothing at all until I pull the battery out and do the same process over until it just hangs again.
while it is on/stuck at the LG screen, my computer does not recognize it so i cannot even try and run ADB commands. It does however, recognize it when I plug it in using the volume buttons held down when I use NVflash but there's nothing else I can do besides use NVflash obviously.

Did you ever find a solution to this issue? Because my phone is doing this...
I attempted to restore my phone back to the wrong backup that was from a galaxy sII (2.3.4 i think); needless to say, the restore failed. I then restarted my phone from CWM and it gets stuck at LG screen.
I have tried to NVflash back to stock; nothing. same thing reflashing back to CWM.
ideas?
have you tried this link out yet?

same problem..... anybody find something to fix this yet?
From what I heard is that you need to remove the battery, then boot into recovery or something.

Use smartflash for the p990 but only use the p999 ap.bin file which will put the rom and kernel back to stock p999.
Rom for recovery always fixes any soft brick back to stock 2.3.3 OTA. It's saved my phone multiple times from stuck on S/W screen to being stuck on lg logo or even the dreaded can't mount sdcard-cache errors in cwm.

I used the following method when Clockworkmod became corrupted and was unable to mount my sd card. I had just wiped everything on my phone intending to install a new rom when the issue happened. I could not even get to the S/W upgrade screen. It saved my phone. Hope it works for you.

Glad for you that it worked.
Kwes1020 pointed me in the right direction last week. Be sure to give a thanks to ILUHA_89 who came up with the fix.
Amazing how people are soo lost without providing them link after link to other threads. They are soo lazy and can't follow simple directions, each time i get a new phone i go to that section on xda and soak up all the information as it usually is already there. It's just funny is all i guess.

It's really not that big a deal. I was brand new to android once and asked all sorts of things.
I, like you, happen to read everything I can get my hands on. Some struggle going through all the info. I was here the day the forum opened, so I kind of remember where everything is.
Some are lazy and others just have no idea what the heck is going on and are intimidated by certain processes. I would rather help someone instead of listening to them ***** about their broken phone.

any suggestions how to fix this?
thanks
What is the serial number of your TF. Look at the bottom, should be a sticker starting with a BxO... (x= a number).
If you have a newer tablet chances are you have a new SBK which is unrootable.
If older rootable version I would say use NVFlash method.
hi!
i got
SN:B60KAS222955
i tried nvflash and installed "prime-rom".
Now the device boots normaly,
but the touchscreen does not work.

are you able to get into CWM recovery?
-press and hold the volume button down plus the power button
-when you see some words scrolling at the top left side push volume up
within 5 sec.
If you're able to get into CWM than do a full wipe and flash Prime 1.8 or 1.9
Another alternative I've heard of is to let the battery drain itself out, plug the charger in and it should work.
yea, i will try that with battery-drain...
read that in an other thread...
thanks for help, i will report my results
Thanks!
hi everyone, new here
first, i have a tf201 32gb on ics 4.0.3

panicked and shutdown my prime, now it won't boot again. it vibrates when i press the power button but nothing else...
i read some posts and realized it's in apx mode (device manager confirm that) and read some more posts and found out that i didn't install rootkeeper (@%[email protected]#$%[email protected])
is there anyway to recover from this??
btw i tried every button combination possible for 3,5,15,30 and 60 seconds :\

There's some guys in the prime section that might be able to shed some more insight on this, and I'll send you a PM to see what helpful light I can shed if any.
Hey guys, I recently found my tf300t tucked away somewhere. Haven't used it for absolute months! And I remembered why, I kept having problems with CM somehow(I believe the last update was somewhere in June-July of 2013), so this time after charging it and wanting to do it all again, I figured I'd get it updated. Seeing as it's been nearly a year and so much crap has changed, I figured something was going to go wrong. Before I even DID ANYTHING, I told the tablet to reboot into recovery mode, and boom that's where I'm stuck. The Tablet rebooted and now only shows the Asus boot screen... Nothing else! Vol down+pwr didn't work, nothing. And If I hold the power button it shuts off but then turns right back on 1-2 seconds later. I'm not sure what this is, a soft brick? a Brick? just an error? Can anybody please help? I know this is probably the wrong section, but I'm just frustrated.
Thank you to anybody who can help in any shape or form.
PS: no bashing is needed, my tables already bashing my head for me.

Does it respond to being plugged into a computer? Try pressing the reset button and then doing the vol down to get into fastboot.

Nope, but I am running W8 and I read that W8 kinda sucks for this sort of thing. Like you need W7 or XP? Correct me if im wrong. Any other ideas? . I didn't do anything! Just told it to reboot into recovery, and now I'm stuck there. I held pwr+volume down and it still keeps stuck, and if I try to power it off then it just turns on again a few seconds later.

I also have this issue
??
So none of you can get to fastboot or recovery, but you do all get the stuck at Asus logo?? All your bootloaders are unlocked?? All of you got to this spot, the same way by not using the tablet for long periods of time???? What bootloader are you on?? What version of CM are you running??? What is the OS of your PC, If its not the top 3 please be specific......Are you using a stock asus data cable??
Sounds similar
From what your posts say, it sounds like something i came across. I struggled for hours trying to figure out this dilemma, but if you're in the same situation i was in then as long as you're in that screen even after trying to hold the power and -vol let it sit there, plug in and make sure you have all your files associated with fastboot platform installed and try pushing the new TWRP ( http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407569892 ) to your tablet, for some reason after a certain update after 4.1 i believe? CWM stopped working for me, so try pushing the new TWRP from that link there and possibly you should be able to gain control of your tablet again and start installing the new packets for CM 11. I found this to be very helpful http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2570965 and thanks to "cmendonc2", 6 post down, he really cleared things up with his simple links. Hope you're in the same boat as i was. Good luck
