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.

Transformer going insane

So, Recently a family member of mine told me something was wrong with their transformer. I take a look at it and it's not turning on so i assume it's not charged. I plug in the charger and it does not boot up. The transformer only goes to the eeepad screen with the asus logo and shuts off again. Basically it's in a bootloop but problem is, the tf101 is not rooted or tampered with and on stock fw (Tf101 is a b90 model) Anything i can do to fix??? Couldn't have been any sort of virus either as this transformer was only used for video streaming/ listening to music...

It might need to be reflashed. You could try using the wheelie tool, but the internal storage will be wiped. Sounds like a softbrick.

Reflash with NvFlash. Best idea as of now

Hey there,
I have nearly the same problem but my transformer just gets the first screen and then it tries to reboot.
I tried to reflash it with EasyFlasher but it didnt work. Is there a chance that your way will work?

If you can get ADB peri Might work, but just manually do it with NvFlash.

thanks, i'll try that when I hit back home in three days...
It is possible to get it in APX mode, so just put it on and flash?
Do you know why such a big problem occurs? It was on stock firmware and rooted for the last 5 months...

I'm starting to think my issue is related to condensation.
I started leaving the transformer in my bedroom, since my wife gave her tablet to her mother and is now using my transformer to read.
I was happy on HC, stock, non-rooted. My tablet was working with no issues for 3 months, give or take.
But then I started having random reboots and boot loops. Tried almost all roms for the transformer, same issue. Worked fine on the day I installed, got me bootloops the next day.
Today I thought about condensation after getting another round of boot loops and noticing my tablet screen with a bit of humidity. The temperature difference from my bedroom with A/C to my living room with no A/C can get to 15 or 20 celsius.
So I got the bootloop again today and instead of nvflashing the hell out of it as I have been doing, I put it in APX mode (since I have no recovery ATM, so I couldn't power it off) and leave it resting for 3 hours in room temperature. After that I rebooted it and it is now stable again. I will try to confirm those suspicious, but right now it sounds a lot like it for me. It never slept in the bedroom during the 3 months I was in HC.

I'm really not sure, but yes just download a stock nvflashable fw (xdafileserver.nl has some good ones) and put in nvflash mode and run reflash_sbkv#.bat (be sure to import wheelie into the stock fw folder and overwrite)

Regarding condensation, that's odd, but mabye. ..

Thanks, i'll try this when I am at home.

It is in APX mode but the computer doesnt recognise it... it says unknown device...
What shall i do?

That means the drivers are wrong/bad. Did you install any? You need the Universal Naked Drivers. (Search the tf themes and apps forum)

I installed the Asus PC Suite which means that drivers are inclueded, but I am going to search here if you say they are here.
Anyways, I can not find them there...

No, asus drivers is not what you need, you want the universal naked drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942&highlight=universal+naked

well, that sounds quite nooby but how to install this drivers... i see several different files but absolutley no exe...
it is so embarrassing...

pnputil -a android_apxdriver.inf (or whatever the inf is called)
then plug in the tf

I opened it but nothing changes... the transformer in apx mode is still an unknown device

Have you tried 'update driver' in device manager, then point to the folder with the apx driver?

sure...

same problem with rebooting
I have exactly same problem...! My TF101 is B70 model and NVFlash not work with this model and higher... How I can fix it? is Megatron 1.1.6 installed on tablet and I have rom on sdcard, but reinstall rom not helped me, also wipe + reinsatll...
any ideas?

[Q] Power button problem!

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...

Talked to ASUS since this is popping up ALOT, it's actually and admitted hardware issue... :/

[Q] Help un"bricking" my tf300t?

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

PLEASE HELP! Tablet shows black screen at startup and then hangs, no boot BRICKED

Hi thanks for reading, I will tell you as quick as I can
Basically I got this Allwinner A31 Tablet Q102 and wanted to root it and flash it when I got it, so I got it only a week ago, week ago from tommorow.
I managed to root it with VRoot and then attempted to install CWM because ROM Manager would say that it isnt supported. So after tons of research I took the method of rooting an Onda tablet which was to use the ADB. I got the Recovery.tar extracted the files inside it and then did the
adb push /data/recovery.img
And stuff like that
After I did all that it told me to hold the VOL+/POWER to enter CWM, I held it for like 1 minute until CWM showed and it was working. CWM version was 6.0.2.7 I think. So I was like oh ok its working now. So then I rebooted the system using the first option CWM gave me. After it turned off it didnt turn back on. So I turned it on manually and all I see is a blank BLACK screen. Thats it. It hangs and does nothing. Cant enter Recovery, safe mode, the USB is not recognized. Infact it doesnt even connect anymore.
If I hold the power button, it turns off then once I let go it turns back on doing the same thing.
Please help me as I only just got the Tablet and can't afford to lose it. Theres too many files I need to keep, only some were moved to the SD card.

Hi, thanks for the replay, the business wouldnt replace it but they offered to have a look, I know its bricked so there is no point sending it there. I hear you can fix it in Phoenix Suite but I cant find the firmware for it.
Btw what should it be in, I had trouble sorting it lol

Took ages to find out, but its called an Allwinner Q102 something with YBC, Ive heard of a similar one called Allwinner A31s Yonestoptech and was also a Q102

Hey,
What's up with your tablet? I own the same model and was thinking about installing cyanogenmod, but I have no idea yet. Have you managed to figure something out, or found any way to repair it?
Cheers!

flash ??
Try to flash the stock ROM.......

Nah man, I can't do anything with it. Turn it on just a black screen. Holding the volume down button then pressing Tue power button a couple of times makes my computer detect the tablet. But nothing else.
I cannot enter CWM, after I flashed CWM it said Can't mount boot.IMG can't Mount this and that and then I restarted it and it happened.
SO DONT FLASH ANY CWM OR ROMS ON IT.
I really want the tablet fixed man. What the hell do I do?

@addy187a - Did you get it done?
I have the same problem.... - I installed successfully twrp, did a backup, wiped and tried to install another rom - failed. Now I am not able to boot into recovery - it is black, not recognized by the system (so I can't use imageburntool).
It starts, is black illuminated, nothing happens, only power is possible
my device: Fusion5 F5CS 32GB, Q102, 32GB
..no idea what to do...

Hey, I know I'm 1 year late to reply but I only just logged in to XDA since ages! I know right? Anyway, the way I fixed it was to download the firmware for the tablet which I found out by keeping a note about tablet model number (Settings> About device> Model) and spent a couple minutes searching for the firmware for it. Then I used Phoenix suite or just Phoenix can't remember what it was called to flash the tablet. There are plenty of YouTube videos and instructions on the web of how to use it, I can't remember how I did it as this was over a year and a half ago! It's as simple as that and words cannot describe how relieved I felt after reviving it. If an admin sees this, please close the thread. I'm still finding out how to use this site.
