[Q] Fix TF stuck on Asus boot screen?

Couple of days ago I opened up my TF and saw it was stuck on the bootup screen. Since then I have tried multiple times to format /system and do a factory restore in CWM and tried reflashing EOS JB and RaymanFX JB. Both times the TF boots so it shows the blue bar on boot sliding across to show it updated and then dies and reboots and gets stuck on the bootup screen. Is there a way to fix this?
And the loading screen I'm talking about is the one that says eee pad in cursive and "Powered by Nvidea Tegra" on the bottom.
Thanks.

did you flash kernal from RaymanFX
If you are ready flash kernal just go back CWR and selected "Boot recovery" in misc menu
waiting little bit long in the first time but it'll be login successful, it's my experience ^^
note: and flash google app too "gapp"

Isn't the kernel built into the ROM? I guess I will give that a try.

It is better to clean isntall.
Format /data etc.
then isntlal the rom
or download Super Wipe Full form ARHD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245892
good luck :]

Do not use super wipe...
Install twrp 2.2.1(recovery)
Use that recovery to wipe internal memory, cache, dalvik and everything else..
Now do a fresh installation of CM10 or eos jb... mind u cm10 gives better audio then eos and cm10 has kernel inbuilt which is better than eos kernel...

Basically wiped and formatted everything and downloading CM10 right now. Hopefully this will work.
Tablet has booted into CM and everything seems to be working again. Thanks guys!

Asus Transformer TF101 struck on start screen
Hi,
My Asus Transformer is struck at welcome screen, when I try to reboot with power and volume down buttons, it's saying rebooting but struck at the
following screen
OS will cold boot in 10 seconds if no input is detected
Press <VOL_Down> to change mode
Press <VOL_UP> to confirm mode ( when I press vol_up to confirm mode), I get the following message below
Platform pre OS boot configuration....
Cold-booting Linux
Any help is truly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum!
Are you rooted, or are you still stock?
If you are rooted, what recovery are you running?
If you are stock, I would try flashing the latest (.27) firmware for your version (SKU). Download from the Asus support site, unzip it ONCE (it will still be a zip) and put that on a microSD formatted for FAT32. Then hold VOL DOWN and POWER until you see the small white text. Release both buttons and hit VOL UP to enter RCK (recovery) to trigger the flash of the stock firmware.

Possible brick into CWM HELP PLEASE

okay so i flashed cwm recovery 6.0.1.3 to my asus transformer infinity and it was put on there fine. i went into cwm and found out that the volume keys wouldn't toggle up or down. so i thought id try to factory reset the device and maybe that will uninstall cwm and i would be able to fastboot a newer version. so i clicked on wipe when in the mode before going into cwm with the 4 options (i think its 4 cant really remember) from left to right. once i clicked on this it went into cwm so i clicked reboot device and now when i reboot it shows it asus and in top left device is unlocked then goes back to cwm where i cant toggle anything except reboot. please help i dont know what to do

once you in recovery (see 4 icons), use volume down to switch to USB icon, then use volume up hit it twice, now your device is in fastboot mode. Connect your usb cable (make sure usb debugging and unknow source are checked in settings). From your pc now you can flash using script or manuall push it.

i dont think so i cant toggle down or up in cwm, is there some other way to flash it?

There used to be a flash binary that worked with adb (I.e. via recovery). I've not seen or heard of it for a while, but the fact that recovery can still be flashed from booted Android tells me it's still available. ROM Manager and GooManager both allow you to install recovery, so I would start with decompiling those...

First you need to access you tablet (while it's booted in CWM) via adb shell.
Second, you need to verify that the recovery can access the internal eMMC - "ls /dev/block/mmcblk0*" should list at least 8 partitions.
Then, you can put a flashable zip into and the installation command onto the cache partition - the procedure is exactly the same as the method to manually install incremental dlpkgfile updates.

[Q] Help w/Twrp Install

I'm in a bootloop mentally and technically! I've spent days trying to install Twrp, searching the forum, watching videos... Think I've tried most guides two or three times w/o success. From GooManager/Install OpenRecoveryScript it starts downloading and then aborts w/a "false MD5 blob" pop-up. When I tried to install directly I had a validated MD5.
This is not a very helpful description of the problem but I'm so brain-drained that I really can't recall all the different things I've tried. Amazed I've not bricked the thing! Am just hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
TF700T, v.4.0.3, Kernel 2.6.39.4.
I just checked the posts "suggested" last night when I posted in the wrong form and I've been to them all except the one about using motochopper to root and then using GooManager to install Twrp recovery. I'm already rooted. Should I unroot and reroot w/motochopper?

When I boot into fastboot (power on volume down) the only options that appear are two icons, "Wipe Data" and "Android". There is no usb icon to select.
Following "ADB/Terminal method" with terminal emulator or with adb it seems to be doing something, but I still cannot boot into the bootloader...same two "Wipe Data" and "Android" icons.

You can download the Asus Unlock app V8 from Asus website.. You need to install it on your device and open it. It will walk you through the whole process. It is very quick and easy.. Good luck. :fingers-crossed:

Yeah, like LetMeKnow said, you have to unlock your tab using the Asus Unlock tool.
The info on the TWRP site is somewhat outdated and refers to the JB 4.1 bootloader. Under JB 4.2,
if you boot into the bootloader menu, you are already in fastboot mode by default. Under 4.1 you would select the USB icon to start fastboot. Oh, btw, if you boot with Power and Volme Down, you ARE in the bootloader...
I do hope you have RCK in addition to the Android and Wipe Data in your bootlaoder menu! Otherwise something is seriously wrong here!
Once you unlocked you will be able to use GooManager or the ADB method to flash TWRP.

IIRC the old 9.4.x bootloader used some other way to boot to recovery.
@cBirdR: if your firmware version is still 9.4.5.26 or earlier, be sure to read the thread about NVFlash *before* you install anything and create your blobs for unbricking.

The 9.4.x bootloader was alsmost the same as the new bootloader, the only difference is that it had 4 options (fastboot, recovery, coldboot and wipe data) instead of 3.And iirc if the device was locked the fastboot option (USB icon) was hidden but the recovery was always there (RCK icon).

Well, I've finally got Twrp installed, but cannot reboot into recovery from GooMgr or Clock Mode, only via the bootloader. I was re-reading you guys' posts and your #7 says it all. No RCK. I tried downloading it with Clock Mod, indicated success but nothing changed.
Twrp's Reboot Menu only lists System and Power Off, no Recovery or Bootloader option. But Clock Mode Recovery says current recovery is TWRP. Is it time for me to head for the Twrp forum? I know it's time to donate.

I have not used Goo and CM. Therefore, I don't know what they have on their boot menu. About the TWRP reboot menu, there are only two options. One is System and other is Power Off.. If you want to boot into the bootloader, you need to use the power button + volume down when your device is in the off state. Also, if you have the latest bootloader, you should see three icons: RCK, Android, and Wipe..

Let me make sure I understand you correctly:
You have TWRP installed and can boot into it - correct?
Which version of TWRP?
I have no idea what Clock Mod is and I wouldn't use GooManager for anything but installing TWRP.
As _that said, the ICS bootloader may have had a different way to boot into recovery, I don't know - I did not have ICS on this tab ever. But if you can boot into TWRP (hopefully version 2.5, 2.6 will do in a pinch) it does not matter.
If all that is true, select 'Backup' in TWRP and make a nandroid of your current setup. And I assume you have backed up all personal data, pictures, videos etc to an external SD card anyway.....
Assuming you want to run a custom rom, go to the OP of the CROMi-X thread, download and flash the 10.6.1.14.8 bootloader/TWRP 2.5 package and then boot back into system which should happen automatically, but if it doesn't, just boot back into system once.
Boot back into TWRP, select 'Wipe' and swipe the button to do a factory reset. This is crucial. You do not want to install a JB 4.2.1 based rom without doing a factory reset first.
Go back to the Home page in TWRP, select 'Install', navigate to the CROMi-X 4.7 rom you downloaded to your external card and flash it.

It is odd. RCK is a part of your bootloader. If it is not there, then something is wrong with your bootloader. It just my understanding about the bootloader. I am wrong so many times about the Android OS. So please don't take it seriously until some experts confirm it.. If you screw up your bootloader, I don't think there are many options for you to fix it. Now you still can access to it. I would suggest that you do a factory reset and download the full latest firmware from Asus website and update your bootloader.. It just my opinion. I am very sure some experts here will chime in and give you a better instructions or guides.. Good luck.

Changed recovery and now TF700 won't stop rebooting (makes it all the way to Android)

Hey guys, I was gifted an Asus TF700, unlocked with TWRP and an unknown ROM.
I was looking to upgrade the ROM so I tried putting Philz Recovery on the tablet by flashing the .zip in TWRP. Then I flashed a new ROM in Philz and here's where the problems start.
The tablet will boot all the way into Android, and I can use the tablet for anywhere from 10-60 seconds before it reboots. If left alone it would stay in this boot loop until the battery would die.
Now I just want to start over. I can't boot into recovery as hard as I try. It just stays at the Asus screen or restarts.
Any ideas?

This sounds like you installed a ROM that requires a newer bootloader than the one you have installed, and you skipped the instructions of that ROM that said you have to install a compatible bootloader.
Other than that, your post is devoid of useful information. You flashed "a new ROM", and you "can't boot into recovery as hard as I try.". What did you flash, what did you try?

I flashed CMB 4.4.2 and I've tried every button combo I could (power + vol down, power + vol up, power for a really long time, both volume buttons for a really long time, power + both volume buttons for a really long time). Occasionally I'd make it to the screen with four options but I couldn't select anything with volume up.
I'm new to this stuff and I just kinda assumed I had the right boot loader. Oops.
Do I have any options?

When it reboots again, you should be able to go to the bootloader menu by holding down volume-down (left). Then enter your recovery and flash the correct bootloader.

So can you get to the bootloader screen? Can you PC see your devices in fastboot??

Sorry I'm not exactly sure what the boot loader screen is. Could you elaborate?
I'll try fastboot tonight and report back but I'm afraid to try anything because the tablet really doesn't last long once it's in Android.

When you boot your tablet in the screen with the RCK where you enter recovery but you don't do anything once there that is your bootloader screen and it will say in the upper left hand corner you should see something about fastboot protocol and you bootloader version also... Let me know thx lj
What is your PC's OS??

If you see 4 icons then you are in an old outdated boot loader. Don't do a while what ever you do.
You'll need to flash the latest boot loader over fastboot.

Yeah I haven't been able to get back to that four icon screen. So where can I get the latest boot loader, and do I have to be booted into Android to flash it? How long does it take?
Trying to see if my device is recognized by fastboot now...

Alright, just got the minimal ADB/fastboot installed and when I type "adb devices" it returns my Asus's serial number. "fastboot devices" doesn't return anything.
Seriously, I only get around 20 seconds before this thing resets. Any ideas for what I can do next?
EDIT: I made it to the boot loader some how ??? Four icons, first of which is RCK. Only stays at this menu for 10 seconds, it doesn't seem like the volume rockers do anything.
Thanks for your help this far folks!
EDIT 2: Keep trying to get back to the boot loader screen. Sometimes it boots into safe mode...
EDIT 3: HOLY **** I GOT IT INTO RECOVERY WHAT DO I DO NOW (nothing comes up on adb devices/fastboot devices)
EDIT 4: Ok I've made it into recovery with the bootloader on a micro SD card (from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577165) and tried to install the zip.
It says: assert failed : write_raw_image("/data/media/blob", "staging")
E:Error in /storage/sdcard1/TF700_10.6.1.14.10_US_Boot_TWRP_2610_Signed.zip
Is this because I'm using Philz Recovery?
EDIT 5: Alright grabbed the right bootloader (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=4006) and I'm getting the same exact error. (Status 7). Any ideas?

BUMP -- any ideas how this Status 7 error can be resolved?

Yes! For whatever reason I can now get into recovery semi-consistently.

Ok, it took like 5 resets to get this, but the screen with four icons reads
USepad-10.4.4.25-20121228
in the top left.
When I get to recovery, it says Philz Touch 6, Clockworkmod v6.0.4.7
Any ideas?

Shoot me an email

Ah, sorry, didn't see that. Message sent!
Managed to flash TWRP from fastboot and it seems like the tablet is running a lot longer after a factory reset. Still rebooting around 2 minutes in. Every time I try to flash an updated bootloader though it gives me an error (even when I uncheck MD5 sum check). I'm having trouble getting my tablet to show up under My Computer, and in TWRP it's not picking up my micro SD card....
Kernel version 3.1.10-cyanogenmod-g057aa0a / Android 4.4.2

hi,
first of all thanks for trying to help
much appreciated
well, using the buttons on the device i can't get to the bootloader screen
it just boots into the stock ROM
BUT i tried it from the the rom with bootmanager (software app from the playstore) and i can get to the bootloader screen
i see the standard three icons
RCK
android
wipe data
if i select RCK it boots TWRP
if i select android it boots the ROM
but i cannot get to this using the physical buttons on the device
volume down and power

Mhhh, can think of 2 reasons:
You're not holding the Volume button long enough.
The button is worn out. Does it work to turn down volume?
