After restoring a backup made with TWRP my TF300 will not boot up. When I turn it on and don't touch anything it stays on the ASUS screen. When I try to go into recovery it takes me straight to the screen with a USB icon and Wipe Data Icon only. There use to be a third icon at this screen but that seem to have went away. Using FASTBOOT I flash CWM recovery, but the only way I can access recovery is by selecting the Wipe Data Icon. Tried flashing various rom (Stock and custom) with no luck getting the tablet to startup. So does any one have any suggestions on how to get my tablet working again. Any help will be appreciated.
someone else was having the same problem as you not to long ago. check a few pages back for threads that have bricked or softbricked in the title either in the general section or the questions section. or just use the search function

I've had a great experience so far with my xoom! I had it rooted and overclocked since the first day I had it!
Its starting to get sluggish and things are beginning to go a little wonky, so I'd like to reflash to either the stock honeycomb 3.1 installation, or one of the roms that I've seen floating around.
The trouble is that the minute I saw the 'encryption' feature, I used it. I did that before ever rooting or overclocking it.
I am now unable to reset to factory defaults. Here is what I've tried:
- using the menu option from inside of the settings area to reset the tablet to factory defaults: When I do this, it reboots and gets to a screen with a little android logo and a progress indicator - however within several seconds the progress indicator goes away and is replaced by that nasty little triangle with the exclamation point saying something isn't right.
- Booting into clockwork mod and formatting everything available to be formatted from CWM: This actually broke the tablet and I had to reflash things to get it working properly. However all of my user stuff and all the settings remained intact.
Does anybody know how to reset the tablet to factory default after its been encrypted? You guys know 50x more than Verizons support team will.
My only other option is to back up all of my data, "break" the tablet, then go use my warranty at the store to get another one. I'd really like to avoid that if at all possible.
What version CWM do you have? Flash the newest recovery if you flashed the recovery from ROM manager. If that doesn't work then flash stock software.
What version Xoom do you have? This is for 3g http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-hacking-guides/2788-how-return-stock-3g-4g-hr166.html
You don't have to do the last step of locking if you want to reroot. That should also remove encryption. If it doesn't do a factory reset from settings. And verify CWM works as well.
Hey guys,
First off I am the newbiest of the noobs. And I think I stumbled into bricking my asus tf101. I was wondering if you incredibly amazing developers would have a work around for me
I had rooted the TF101 a while back it worked everything was fine, I was frustrated with the poor video performance and thought maybe upgraded to jellybean may improve some speed issues with the tablet. So I ran off did some fast googling and found a forum that posted the nightlies. (Team EOS from this site)
I downloaded the first one (right to the tablet) booted into the root bootloader thing (yea im so noob I don't even know the proper wordage) and installed from that.
Now when it boots it sits at a 4 colored square logo that rotates a pules. each little piece glows (like it's loading) but it just sits there forever. i have waiting 10-15-30-45 minutes nothing.
I was wondering if there was a way I could download a new jellybean file on a SD card, and somehow install over with that?
Could really use the help and need it explained to me like im 2 ..
Really sorry to have to ask guys. Save me!
It's a very well discussed issue here and in the teameos thread.
Did you do a full cache, dalvik, system and factory reset of the device through recovery?
Which recovery are you using? (you probably need a newer one)
If you can still boot in recovery (you should) then wipe cache, dalvik, system, do a factory reset (does not wipe sdcard but you will lose all other data) and finally reflash the rom.
If you can't boot in recovery for whatever reason, you can use easyflasher to go back to stock then start over. Frederuco made an awesome post detailing the entire procedure on transformerforums.
Hey everyone,
So earlier this evening I attempted to flash a new ROM to my Transformer. Unfortunately, something went wonky during the Factory Reset and it froze for about an hour. Not knowing what else to do, I ended up resetting the tablet and booting back into Recovery.
Long story short, I currently have TWRP v2.6.3.2 installed and accessible. Unfortunately I am unable to boot into any ROM I flash. I am able to go through the setup process just fine (have tried CROMi-X 5.4 and CROMi-X 5.2.3), but once the tablet restarts after installing, I am stuck at a boot loop on the ASUS splash screen. Did I inadvertently delete some system files that aren't replaced with a new ROM?
I'm out of ideas at this point and am hoping someone out there can help guide me in the right direction. My current plan is to try reverting to the stock Android provided by ASUS on their website (4.2.1). I really appreciate any advice/help anyone can provide, and thank you in advance!
If you want to know what the problem is, get a logcat. If you just want to fix it, do another Factory Reset. If that doesn't work, run "Format Data" in TWRP (this may take 1-2 hours). Note that this will delete all your user data on the tablet.

Thank you so so much for your help _that. I had no luck after doing another Factory Reset, but a second run through TWRP's "Format Data" worked like a charm. Kudos to XDA for being the savior of my sanity!
Hie,
I recently purchased a Chinese Tablet (Fondi PAD T708B). I had set a password for it and then forgot it. I read a couple of forums on how to get help, it showed generic password recovery methods for android which seemed not to have been options for this tablet. Then I read another forum which gave me another solution to be to factory reset it. I'm a noob it that sort of thing so i tried to follow the steps correctly. I was able to boot into recovery mode and found the factory reset option which showed it would erase all user data. I had no problem with that considering there wasn't anything I hadn't backed up. However, during the 'wiping data' the tablet went off. And when I tried to boot it again it gets stuck on the screen as shown in the attachment.. And however long I wait it doesn't seem to pass that point. Can any one help me out on this?
May you please help.
Hello,
I am brand new to this forum and to android problems.... so forgive "silly questions".
I got a used tf300t which was reset back to factory settings.
I installed the dolphin browser and the last thing I did was installing the opera mobile browser.
Since that the cyanogenmod animation pops up right at the boot process and now and then it finishes booting, but when I wipe the screen in order to unlock it the cy-animation appears again.
Yesterday I got an error message that a system process was shutdown with a java null pointer exception for ..... any language process. (did not note the error message unfortuanately).
This brought to my mind that I changed some keyboard setting for the german keyboard layout and this is very likely the cause of the problem.
Now I wanted to reset the device back to it's factory settings, but I cannot boot into the recovery mode. Pressing power- and volume down button just flashes the screen with the asus logo but when I release the buttons, the cyanogenmode animation again appears.
So how can I "hard-reset" the device and btw. is this cyanogenmod thing really necessary?
thanks a bunch in advance and cheers

update: can now boot into TWRP
update#2: I killed it
I used the wipe option (think it was called this way) for a factory reset - and now it is stuck at the asus logo while booting.
Connect to a PC with cable, see if ADB recognizes it.
If it does, issue (in terminal/command line):
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Wait for it reboot.
Verify fastboot connection
Code:
fastboot devices
If it is recognized, you need to re-flash latest stock firmware (blob), that can be found on Asus website. Make sure you get the right (geo)version for your device (ie: US/JP/WR...)
To flash the stock firmware, find the directions on this forum.

sorry for the delayed answer, but thank you soooo much, I will try it out immediately. However befor I got that troubles I connected it to a PC but it did't get recognized.
Well we'll see...
to be continued
I got it, I got it, I got it
the problem was a different one called cyanogenmod.
When resetting the device the cyanogenmod got uninstalled and therefore restarting was not possible.
I found a backup file of the cyanogenmod and reinstalled it ... and it works
thanks a bunch for your help
