[Solved] bricked a few days after purchase. total loss? - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

well i bricked it a few days after i got it..
i was installing jb update and it reset to asus screen. and it stayed on that screen. i rebooted it and when it came on it imediatly said it was wiping data from device. after that finished it reset to asus screen..
So i tried to get into fast boot usb but if the device is connected to the computer it locks the device and it never starts fastboot.
so i unplugged from pc and tried going to fastboot usb and it says it loaded, but my computer wont recognize the device when i plug it in..
im sick right now..
anyway to get this thing back operational? it was rooted and had clockwork on it but i can't get to cw with power and volume pressed.
what can i do?

had the same here. you have to update the drivers manually.
Go to the Device Manager. There should be a device called Transformer. Right Click and update the drivers manually.

Well I've had no luck. My computer won't recognize the tablet as a device at all. It seems that the tablet errors if connected and it locks up.
Anyone have any luck with Asus repair? Think they would fix it for me?

install asus pc pad for the drivers. there's a dl link in the asus support site. after that fastboot should be recognized. all you have to so then would be to flash a recovery specifically for jelly bean.

Computer would not recognize the pad as a device, so after it died i put it in the box and prepared to ship it for fix to asus.. then i read a forum about power loss resetting bootloader. and i plugged it up after a quick charge. usb is recognized and i was able to get twrp on it again.
im installing 9.4.3 because i dont want to brick this thing again. wish me luck..

help reinstalling Operating system to tf300t
i have an unlocked asus tf300t i had bricked.
since i have managed to get twrp functioning on the system. now i'm having trouble flashing my os.
the bootloader says it's 10.4 at startup.
does this mean i have to flash jelly bean update through twrp? will it brick if i do that?
any assistance would be greatly appreciated. i'm 5 days into this. owned my tablet 7. so im sad..

Happened to me too. I'm hoping that ASUS will fix it for a reasonable price. Otherwise I'm just going to get a Nexus 7.

if you just bought it a few days ago maybe you can exchange it,
in any case as said before, try installing drivers, changing USB ports, trying on another PC
what bootloader do you have?

After the battery on the unit died I got fastboot working. I fast booted the appropriate ROM for my boot loader and all has been great.
Solved by letting battery die completely

It will be good to tell more about your root.
How do you root ?
Which guide have you use ?
Which version of your TG ? before the root?
etc, more infos will be good for a good help
ASUS tf300t fix root permissions error
this was the best place i could think to post this.
I can see that you are somewhat versed with my series of tablet so im hoping maybe you can help me.
I previously had rooted my device and did so pretty easily (fastboot flash CWM-Touch, root-signed.zip) yadda yadda.
Then I deciced i wanted to install CM 9.1(stable)[or so it said]
Downloaded the build onto sd card, wiped my caches and data and all that...CWM install .zip,(good), reboot, stuck at inital cold-boot screen with ASUS and TEGRA powered by NVIDIA logos.
Found a solution to that problem @ transformerforums.com- did a fastboot: flash system blob w/original JB OTA build (took forever, i even thought it froze my computer) i had to download from the asus support site and got the tablet up and running again....BUT, and this is the kicker, no root. I tried using CWM-touch to reinstall root-signed.zip, successful. Hit reboot and CWM popped up with your user su binary may be damaged. Repair? yes. Reboots fine, but then i tried to access a program that needed root, ERROR! IS DEVICE ROOTED? pops up... I checked my /system/xbin/su. still there but couldnt do anything with it...
ANY SUGGESTIONS TO HELP WOULD BE AWESOME. This isn't the first device ive cracked so im not exactly new but dont know enough about this to try fix anymore than what ive done and ive searched the forums over for the past four days and cant find anyone or anything that is similar to whatim experiencing...
please help.
Sincerely, SIK
P.S.-DONT USE CWM-TOUCH V6.0.3 ON THIS TABLET. YOU CANT MAKE RECOVERIES!!! IT SAYS IT DOES BUT DOESNT BUILD ANYTHING!

[Q] PC doesn't see my tablet

Hi,
Since a recent OTA update, when connecting my Tablet to my PC nothing happens. There is not even an unknown device or such showing up in device manager in Windows when I plug it in. Going into the recovery, i get the 4 icons (RCK, Android, USB and Wipe Data). When going to USB, i get the message that the fastboot upload protocol has started, but still connecting it to the pc, nothing happens. I don't even get the familiar sound in windows when USB devices are plugged in or disconnected.
I've installed the Android SDK as well as the USB drivers. I even tried to plug the tablet into a complete different PC and still get no response from the pc that something has been plugged in to the usb connector. I also tried a different cable with no luck. The keyboard dock is working perfectly, so I assume the port on the tablet is working fine.
Am i still missing something, or is there something wrong with my tablet. Any help would be appreciated. I'm trying to root the tablet and apart from having unlocked the boot loader i'm stuck, as i cannot flash a custom recovery until i can get my pc to see the tablet.
My tablet is currently running stock Android with the latest OTA upgrade. And like i said previously i could see my tablet fine using the USB cable but since the last OTA nothing.
try another pc and/or usb cable
and if you connect the dock+tf300 to the computer
what happen

Thanks for replying to my thread.
I've already tried another computer and another cable. And the same thing happens when connecting the dock+tf300 to the computer. I don't get any response from any one of my computers. (I've tried my laptop (Win 8 64 bit) my pc (Win 7 64 bit) and my wife's pc (Win 7 32bit)).
Is there any way i can flash recovery from the SD card? not using fastboot? this seems to be my only option if possible. Unfortunately I bought the tablet in the States when i was over there, but live in South Africa, so not sure what would happen if i had to send it in if any repairs are needed.
I think there is a way of flashing a recovery using a terminal. You need to be rooted thow... But there is another way you can repair your tablet. I'm not finding it right now but I'll report back here once I do
---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------
Here you have
1) Download the latest firmware from Asus site (based os your SKU, download it on the tablet since you can't use the cable)
2) Extract the .zip file (you can use ES File Explorer or any other app from the market to do so)
3) Rename the extracted archive to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.ZIP" (without the " ") and upload it to a MicroSD card (I'm not sure if this will work on the internal memory, but you can try it )
4) Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use this button combination to Power ON and go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume Down and POWER togheter for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume UP before the 5 seconds expire.
At this point the device will go in recovery and should start repairing your firmware .

Ok, I did as you said and the update worked. My tablet now shows JRO03C.US_epad-10.4.2.20-20121228 where previously it was JRO03C_US_epad-10.4.2.18.
Unfortunately though, the USB still does not seem to work. I still get no response from the tablet or the computer when i plug the usb cable into the pc. So unfortunately nothing changed. Is there no way to flash an already rooted version of the firmware to the tablet? (the same way i've flashed this official firmware?)
When i plug my HTC One X into the pc, i can go into adb (adb devices), I see the HTC One X (HT24HW100698). But when plugging in the TF300T adb devices show nothing.
A read that 'fastboot devices' will not show any device, and that using 'fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery tf300t-jb.blob' will just flash the recovery image. But while the bootloader says 'Starting Fastboot USB download protocol' and with the usb cable plugged in, all i get in my command prompt window is '< waiting for device >'
Are you sure the problem isn't the cable itself? You got a really awkward problem there lol

Unfortunately I asked a friend of mine to test my cable on his tablet and he could sync with it.
I suspect i have some sort of a hardware failure. Now to just find out if Asus in South Africa will be able to assist me, as I bought this in the States. I also unlocked the bootloader as I thought I was going to root the tablet. It was only after the unlocking that I realized the connection to the PC is not working.
Maybe it did had something to do with the unlock process...

Well, thanks for taking the time to help. I've now located the service center in South Africa, and will take it there. Hope this is not going to cost me too much. I really like this tablet and would love to root it to get some more performance out of it.
If you can think of anything else i can try, let me know. But I suppose the next step is to take it in and hope for the best.
Thanks again.
Good luck then. They shouldn't have to charge for something a OTA did... it's kind of unfair lol

Ok, so i got a call from ASUS today. I need a replacement motherboard, but because I unlocked the boot loader, i'll have to pay for it. That sucks. If i just realised my port was faulty before I started with the unlocking, i could have avoided this. :crying:
So even though the unlocking has absolutely nothing to do with the fault. I suppose I can't complain as I saw the disclaimer. Just mad that I did not pick up the fact that the port wasn't working before I unlocked the bootloader.

I dont entirely understand your question. I am guessing you have CleanRom installed? Then how did you lose your root? Did Super User become uninstalled? If so it can be installed from the play store. Under your ASUS customized settings and Developer settings make sure nothing is marked to disable the usb to pc.

CleanRom is a pre-rooted rom, so you just reflash cleanrom and you should have root back.
Dear Taylor i rooted and have install cleanrom on my tab. But then i did a factory reset,after that i got no more root even the CWR is gone.

That is my problem i cant reflash because i dont have the CWR on it and my pc dont connect to my tab so i cant even root it again. i got everything backup on titanium but you need root to use it.

If you did indeed have CleanRom then it should not have wiped out the root not should it had wiped your recovery. So my question is what did you flash because flashing CleanRom will not touch your recovery. And CleanRom does not have to be rooted, it is already rooted so it sounds like to me your flashed the stock rom. So IDK what is going on because flashing/wiping Cromi does not touch recovery not take away root.

As long as your bootloader is still unlocked, you can use fastboot to flash CWM and then whatever ROM you want.
For CWM touch, see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926286

Are speaking of the latest CROMi or CleanROM the older version?
Sounds like a system wipe vs. factory reset.
I'd ADB push TWRP and reinstall the ROM.
What exactly is the tablet doing when you hook it up to the pc? Are there any sounds like the pc is recognizing the device is connected or say a usb device is attached? Does the tablet say it is connected to the usb of the computer? Can you charge the tablet fine using the wall plug and cord? I've had the pins on the port fry and it became useless to any computer it connected with. Worked fine for charging via the plug. Asus had to replace the port on the tablet under warranty. Give the developers trying to help a bit more info as it may not be software but a hardware issue.
I got the CleanRom 3.3 install.
When i hook up the TAB on my pc nothing happens. Charging the tab is ok not a problem. I dont think the port is fry because i try to hook up my old phone to my pc Samsung galaxy GT-I9000 with android version 4.2.2 and my pc is not recognizing this one. Maybe is the USB drivers from my pc? It run on windows 7..... i will try to hook up to another pc tonight its run on windows XP maybe that wil help.
i wanna thanks you guys form all the help till now........:good:

Does your PC see any other USB devices when connected directly to the PC (not through an external hub)?

tell us how to run adb on your pc and screen shot please. I believe you're not doing the right thing.
I'm having a similar issue, only difference is I've done nothing and suddenly USB connection stopped working. I can charge normally and when I try to connect TF700 to my PC, nothing happens. Not even some "Ding-Dong" sound like most of the time you connect some USB devices on it, and absolutely no error, no ADB and other things are shown on Device Manager. I'm thinking it's most likely my cable or my port is broken. I've ordered a new cable yesterday, hope it's gonna be that easy.
Hm... For me this happens when I kill wudfhost.exe in processes on my pc... Which is the driver it uses to recognise the connection to android devices.
Check taskmanager to see if it's there. If not, there you (might) have it. It should be in c:/windows/system32.

No recovery and no fastboot.

[Q] TF101 not recognized by PC (Windows 7/8 x64)

OK. First of all, although I'm using the TF101 for the first time, I'd like to say that I've done a fair bit of rooting, troubleshooting and customizing various Android devices (HD2, Desire, SE x10, SGS2, SGSN, SGSN2...). So I ensure you, any lack of knowledge regarding the TF101 is not caused by ignorance. I'm trying to find out the cause for my problem for few days now, but can't find something to catch on. There are many similar problems with TF101 not being recognized by PC, but they all offer solutions which don't work, I don't understand them, or which make no sense.
Let's start at the beginning.
I have gotten my hands on Asus EEE Pad Transformer TF101. It was really cheap. I was told it came form USA.
It's obviously rooted, has a custom rom and recovery (ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.1. roach2010-tf101-r1)
This is waht it says in Settings>About:
Model Number:
Transformer TF101G (although I think it is actually just a Wi-Fi model - TF101, it has no SIM slot)
Android version:
3.2.1
Baseband version:
Unknown
GPS version:
V5.5.8
Wi-Fi version:
V5.2.65
Bluetooth version
v6.24
Kernel version:
2.6.36.4-g6aa10ba
[email protected] #20111023
Build number
HTK75.prime_epad-2.1.0-20111105
Mobile Dock version:
Not available​
It seems to be working fine, except for being totally filled up with apps, bloatware and data. Natural instinct was to install a clean ROM. I wanted to go with CM, and a newer Recovery, but I got stuck on the first step. I can't get it recognized on any of my computers. Both Windows 7 and 8.
However I plug it in, I get; USB device not recognized. One of the USB devices attached to you computer has malfunctioned... This happens when I connect the USB cable when Android is booted up, when in recovery and also in APX mode, providing I have entered it (I'm not really sure because the display is always black).
In Device Manager, I can see only one exclamation icon (I did enable show hidden devices) in Universal Serious Bus Controllers called Unknown Device, which seems to be from the TF101. I tried uninstalling it. Restarting both the tablet and the computers. I tried to manually override those Unknown Device drivers with ASUS Android USB drivers for Windows and Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72 and ventana apx driver, but it wouldn't take any of them. I also tried installing them manually by right clicking on the INF files, and still nothing.
Then I thought I could mount the sdcard or USB mode in recovery, but that wouldn't work either.
Any solutions?
Do you have the stock USB cable? Are you plugging in to a usb3 slot?
Does the rom have fast charge enabled? I think that's what it's called but it allows USB charge rather than seeing your files and such.
Do you have mtp mode or mass storage mode options on the tablet?

Yes, I have stock USB cable. At least I think so. I'm not the first owner. How can I be sure? It seems to be charging fine on the wall charger. It doesn't charge thru PC though.
If you are asking me if I tried it on USB 3.0; yes I did. Both 2.0 and 3.0. Not recognized.
I don't know if the ROM has "fast charge". I'm new to the TF101, and Honeycomb in general, and I didn't notice such an option. Where can I look?
I also didn't see any MTP/Mass storage modes in settings. Where would they be?

I did look around. I read a ton of posts here and elsewhere. There is nothing to the point. People at transformer forums are actually advising to just forget about the usb and use wireless transfer instead, since there are so many people with this problem who can't solve it. That would be fine with me, but I'm especially stuck because I can't flash anything since my USB connection is not working, and current CWM recovery doesn't seem to support flashing from internal memory/sd card.
Before you do anything else, install TWRP recovery before you brick your TF with CWM
Install Goo Manager here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager
Tap the menu dots at the top right of the app and choose "Install OpenRecoveryScript"
That should flash the latest TWRP recovery for you

OK. First of all, although I'm using the TF101 for the first time, I'd like to say that I've done a fair bit of rooting, troubleshooting and customizing various Android devices (HD2, Desire, SE x10, SGS2, SGSN, SGSN2...). So I ensure you, any lack of knowledge regarding the TF101 is not caused by ignorance. I'm trying to find out the cause for my problem for few days now, but can't find something to catch on. There are many similar problems with TF101 not being recognized by PC, but they all offer solutions which don't work, I don't understand them, or which make no sense.
Let's start at the beginning.
I have gotten my hands on Asus EEE Pad Transformer TF101. It was really cheap. I was told it came form USA.
It's obviously rooted, has a custom rom and recovery (ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.1. roach2010-tf101-r1)
This is waht it says in Settings>About:
Model Number:
Transformer TF101G (although I think it is actually just a Wi-Fi model - TF101, it has no SIM slot)
Android version:
3.2.1
Baseband version:
Unknown
GPS version:
V5.5.8
Wi-Fi version:
V5.2.65
Bluetooth version
v6.24
Kernel version:
2.6.36.4-g6aa10ba
[email protected] #20111023
Build number
HTK75.prime_epad-2.1.0-20111105
Mobile Dock version:
Not available​
It seems to be working fine, except for being totally filled up with apps, bloatware and data. Natural instinct was to install a clean ROM. I wanted to go with CM, and a newer Recovery, but I got stuck on the first step. I can't get it recognized on any of my computers. Both Windows 7 and 8.
However I plug it in, I get; USB device not recognized. One of the USB devices attached to you computer has malfunctioned... This happens when I connect the USB cable when Android is booted up, when in recovery and also in APX mode, providing I have entered it (I'm not really sure because the display is always black).
In Device Manager, I can see only one exclamation icon (I did enable show hidden devices) in Universal Serious Bus Controllers called Unknown Device, which seems to be from the TF101. I tried uninstalling it. Restarting both the tablet and the computers. I tried to manually override those Unknown Device drivers with ASUS Android USB drivers for Windows and Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72 and ventana apx driver, but it wouldn't take any of them. I also tried installing them manually by right clicking on the INF files, and still nothing.
Then I thought I could mount the sdcard or USB mode in recovery, but that wouldn't work either.
Any solutions?

Are those drivers signed? I know 7 will reject an unsigned driver for security reasons.

Yes, I have stock USB cable. At least I think so. I'm not the first owner. How can I be sure? It seems to be charging fine on the wall charger. It doesn't charge thru PC though.
If you are asking me if I tried it on USB 3.0; yes I did. Both 2.0 and 3.0. Not recognized.
I don't know if the ROM has "fast charge". I'm new to the TF101, and Honeycomb in general, and I didn't notice such an option. Where can I look?
I also didn't see any MTP/Mass storage modes in settings. Where would they be?

It should be somewhere in "storage" in settings.

Unfortunately, GO Manager wouldn't install OpenRecoveryScript. It says something along the lines of "No Recoveries were found for your device..."

Those from Asus websites are signed 100%.

You might need to update to ICS first then, maybe Honeycomb is too old
CWM has a habit of boot looping devices, I would try updating to an ICS ROM and then trying Goo again before going for a Jellybean ROM
EDIT - You might have more luck getting TWRP installed using Easyflasher

My guess is a bad USB cable. I had my USB cable stop working for ADB/APX/MTP/PTP but it still works with the Asus wall wart for charging. New USB cable fixed it straight away.

hi. if you cannot enter apx mode. try flashing a new rom of the tf101 or reflashing your current recovery

Same problem here... Tried Naked Driver and still got nothing. The Tablet just won't get recognized by the computer (Windows 8.1).
Did you have any luck unbricking it?
I've been through soft bricks before but this time, it seems to me that I've hit the bottom... I just can't think of anything else... any help??
had this problem for 2 years now. started off off like that, now it doesnt recognize at all. if it's rooted, flash a recovery using a terminal emulator. (there are instructions on team win's website on how to flash it to the appropriate block). then, just install a ROM with twrp. mine is in a permaloop. wiping data, rebooting, doing it again. if you get it to work, don't tinker with it any more. that's from my experience.

hi sir,..i have the same problem above,.my data cable doesn't work ..the cwm i used now doesn't show my ext sd card,.only clockworkmod file,.is it possible to flash the old rom without computer?..how..please reply ,..thanks,
Don't wanna be the bearer of bad news but, I gave up trying to recover that thing a long time ago buddy. My advise to you would be: let go of it. The way I see it, the only way you could do it would be if you could replace the connection port and regain access to you tablet through you computer - considering the problem is being caused by that port.
Another way of doing that would be if you could actually have access to the tablet's internal storage and then place a ROM there so you could flash that using CWM.
Those are the only two options I didn't try, and now I can't, since I gave mine away to someone I thought could try one of those things, but not even an eager 17 year old boy could do it.
So, good luck with that.

tf101 connection issues

OK guys I have an issue
I now own a tf101 the issue I'm having is a connection issue
I recently purchased my tf101 used as a bargain price as our families 2nd tablet
The lady reset to factory before I purchased
After a couple days I began looking into rooting as an option to restore some functionality to this older tablet when connecting to my computer, I wasn't receiving any notification it was plugged in .... no new device detected ... no sounds..... nothing in device manager
It charges fine... and its an official Asus cord ( least it says Asus on it)
I also got the 40 pin to USB converter and it transfers data from a flash drive to the tablet fine movies pics etc...
I tried the cord on 3 different PC's, and 2 Macs nothing
Tried downloading and installing Asus sync and naked drivers neither helped
(Gonna get my friends cord this weekend see if it does anything)
I also tried most of all of this stuff in USB debugging mode , and toggling sync tool, as well in and not in apex mode
I tried a j5 wormhole USB to USB cord from the 40 pin converter still nothing...
I've read post after post about this topic however NONE have solutions
I had a friend suggest that it may have been rooted before she factory reset it and something got corrupted...
Some other info I'm sure I'll get asked about
Firmware version IML74K.US_epad-9.2.1.27-20120615
Kernel version 2.6.39.4 [email protected]#1
Android version 4.0.3
Whenever I try to boot into any kind of recovery it shows a belly up android with red exclamation mark
Any help would be appreciated
Anyone know if I can root from usb
Same USB Connection Problem
I recently reset my tablet to "factory" and had the exact same issue. Probably searched all the same sites and found the same results you have already seen. "Buy a new cable." "Buy a new tablet."
I used Baiduroot to get temporary root and install TWRP. Unfortunately, I had to download it from a Chinese server and the app is in Chinese, so you are really guessing as to the use of the tool. I poked around till I got it.
So now I can boot into recovery, but have not yet attempted flashing a ROM such as KatKiss.
Rooted, Bootloader, and Flashed
I took courage and flashed. I now have a TF101 with Katkiss 4.4.2 and Gapps running. All done without the cable. In fact, I just plugged it into my computer and it still doesn't recognize it. This is a weird problem.
