Change DPI and the tablet is bricked - Asus Transformer TF700

Change DPI, reset, hangs in asus welcome screen.
I did a factory reset through Asus Recovery, reset and the same problem...
Anyone found a workaround for this?
The tablet is always on, if i want to shut down, hold the power button, then the tablet shut down but in a second is powering on again....
I read in other thread the cause of this is a corrupted build.prop
I want to enter in ADB mode but the tablet is not recongized by "adb devices". In asus recovery mode, the adb works? or is before, in the asus welcome screen where ADB conection take place?
My launcher is Apex
Sorry my english
Thx!!!

Hello, no worries on the English. I can understand what you said
What value did you change the DPI to, and what part of the welcome screen? Does the rotating ring appear or does it not get that far?
I read something about editing build.prop it directly causing problems there is an app that helps you edit the .prop file. I'll try to find both the thread and the app...

The screen before the rotating ring, where is shown the tegra Logo.

I had the same problem. Returned it to the store and said it died doing an update and they replaced it.
Not much else you can do as far as i know...

I just want to weight in that this Application, LCD Density Modder, messed up my Infinity big time. It was a perfect tablet until I downloaded and tried to use this application.
Here is what I posted in another thread.
Thanks so much for the guide. I was using the LCD Density App and that thing jacked my Infinity up big time. I will never use that application again. It wanted SuperUser clearance to save the Pixel Density, then when I checked Save & Reboot, my Infinity never turned on again. It just got stuck at the ASUS screen and wouldn't turn off. If I tried to power down, it just turned back on and stuck at the first Asus Screen.
I used the following directions and was able to get back to stock firmware.
Thank god.
*** Factory Restore after a softbrick ***
When You Need This?
* if you get stuck on Asus boot screen (the one with the spinning wheel)
Note: You need to have a working recovery (stock or custom) in order to use this method.
========= Recover with stock recovery =========
1) Download the latest firmware from Asus site (based os your SKU,eg. ww 9.4.5.26)
2) Extract the .zip file somewere on your desktop (the result will be another .zip file,use it for step 3)
3) Rename the extracted archive to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE" (without the " ") and upload it to a MicroSD card
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 updating your firmware .
So yeah, thanks for this guide and beware of the Pixel Density Application. I know someone from here created it, but It could not have been more clear that it messed my tablet up since I had never had a problem until I gave it SuperUser Clearance then it never turned on again. I know some of you are having great success, and that is awesome, but this application did not dance well with my Asus Infinitiy.

I brick my asus tf300t please help me

Hello guys,before with the rom hidro ponic 4.4 all was well.After i want change my rom and i've brick my asus after flash rom unofficial cm10..because the camera apk not found, and dispay is total green..I suppose the problem is the rom but after another flash rom the problem is same.On again the display is lock on the logo Asus and upstar on the little: the device unlock..stop.My asus there's no way to get it to recognize at pc and the driver installed not found..are't fastboot logo in Controll Pannel.I've not possilìbility to choce android--usb--wipe data.Help me please thank you sorry for my English
What about booting into recovery? Or fastboot?
As far as I understand your post Android isn't booting, but what if you hold volume-down when you turn on the tab?
I have almost the same problem. I flashed a bad boot blob (vanilla linux, not android) and now I'm stuck at the first Asus logo if I boot normally. But I still have fastboot and CWM recovery so I'm confident I can get it back into shape (even though a restore in CWM didn't help)
I think there's no way to unbrick the device,because I have the same problem.
I flash my device to official 4.1 and I found I lost root of my device
So I try to downgrade my device,but I failed...
Then I try to enter recovery and I failed again...
At last I try to wipe data of my device but it had no respond...
Of course,I had to reboot my device...
The result is:It bricked...
The symptom is just like the thread starter
What should I do???
I tried to contact the customer service of ASUS,but they said the device which unlocked by yourself couldn't get any warranty,even I willing to pay for it
(I think the customer service of ASUS is too bad,especially their attitude)
(I'm also sorry for my poor English...)
this is simple
download the asus jelly bean launcher.zip
from their website
unzip the launcher so its just the eepad 10.blahblah.zip
if it says update launcher you still need to extract this
then flash the twrp jelly bean recovery
now add the official jb rom to an external sd card
and flash
reboot
and voila
reboot again to fastboot and reflash recovery afterwards
and then flash root
worked for me

But my problem(the same as the thread starter) is:I couldn't enter either fastboot nor recovery
If I could enter one of it,I think I can fix it...

Hello guys, but for this type of brick no one has an answer? Method with nvflash can 'operate according to you ..? But I'm trying to appear APX and install the drivers as a guide is a company because it makes them install it
As far as I can see nvflash is coming to TF300T, it has been developed for T201 (http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/). But at least for TF201 they have to have fastboot first, so that may not help you.
If I understand you correctly nothing is booting and you have neither ADB nor fastboot access. In that case I don't think there's anything to do except wait and hope for a working nvflash or to try to have Asus fix it, but since the tab is unlocked they probably won't do so for free.
It seems this tab bricks easily.
I have the same problem, and I hope nvflash too. But I don't know nvflash in dev or no. This my best device which die first. Cry
Having the same problem here also. Only had the tf300t for less than a week.
Here is a sticky to a thread I made. I'm just waiting for people to put in a bunch of ideas. Hopefully NVFLASH doesn't need fastboot.

Hi !
...to force entry in recovery ...you need first to reset your device than go to recovery ;
- press for 10 sec. power button , release and quickly press volume down and power button at the same time ! -> normal the device should be entered in recovery ! Good luck ! :good:

...Tried it about 1000 times, not possible, but thanks anyway. No fastboot possible, NVFLASH won't be working either...
I asked our friends at androidroot.mobi if it would be possible to have this issue solved with NVFLASH, this is their response:
@AndroidRootMobi Is it worth waiting for NVFLASH on (very hard) softbricked TF300t? Or should I go to @Asus
‏@AndroidRootMobi
@Joanuz @ASUS Sorry. If/when we support TF300T, you will need device-specific files. So no brick recovery if you're already bricked.
It sucks, I know. I'll be sending mine back to ASUS tomorrow. No warranty. Hopefully a reflash will do the job (normally it should be around 75 euro), if the mainboard needs to be replaced, the total costs will be around 200... I will open a thread here once it's under repair. Good luck!
Same problem. Stucked at Asus Logo but i can go into recovery. What can I do? Help me please
My PC finds it as Fastboot.
Seem I'm no alone...
Seem I'm not the only one.
This morning I bricked my tablet, 5 minutes after I bought a wall charger on EBay... :crying:
As for now the only answers seem to be from people that don't read post good.
We can't get to use the recovery...
Again, if someone knows how reset the tablet prior booting...
I beleive that its the only other way.
The last possibility, buy a new one...
I believe the problem started before.
- I unlocked my tablet more that a month ago, at the Jelly Bean release.
- Rooted
- Installed the official release
- Everything went well, up to this morning
- I noticed that my Rom Manager Premium start to show adds
- Goo manager refused to install recovery script
- Then I tried to go in recovery, it fails.
- I said to myself that it was better to start from scratch
- I tried a Factory reset using setting menu.
- After this step the tablet started to show This device is unlocked
-After the last step the device wouldn't boot no other way...
I don't know what happened but it seem a bit strange that everything worked fine before this morning.
For sure I'll keep exploring ways to get out of this mess.
But if I have to buy another tablet, there's a chance that I'll go to a Nexus 7...
Good luck to all the other unfortunate that that are in the same boat.

Hi back,
After I bricked my device i sended back my tablet to canadian customer service.
At first the didn't wanna fix the proble and the service told me that he needed to change the motherboard.
I argue a while and after an email discussion whit the customer service agent, they told me that they would fix the problem for me THIS TIME.
This morning I received my tablet and everything seem to work fine, as it was reset to factory.
BUT, after I started to investigate, seem that in no time the cover removed.
And maybe the motherboard change is a trick to suck more money from the users.
In fact I can't understand why you'de have to change the motherboard after the tablet is bricked.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I find this way of doing thing awefull, and I consider lucker that I got outa this mess...
Good luck to the others unfortunates
Alain
No need waiting for NVFlash, it is here (check developer section) but will not work on unit if already messed up.
I have used two things that aren't mentioned here; I don't recommend either but if you are ready to ship off it might work for you as it did for me.
Both times were caused from ota updates.
1. use of reset button while powered on, if that fails to help, poweroff and reset button again.
2. let battery run down, put ac charger on power strip which is turned off but plugged into ac. Hold foot over power strip button, hold power and down volume on unit; mash power button on power strip with foot while holding power and down volume on unit.
I should have said neither of these fixed my unit; they just allowed me to get into fastboot to fix my unit.
Bricked TF300GT (please help)
Hello developers,
I have a bricked Transformer the goes in a loop flashing ASUS every 5 seconds or so. That was after having unlocked and then reset to factory default.
I have been reading a lot of articles at various forum for a solution. I have never seen something so confusing. Please is someone can point to me a page where the un-bricking is described step by step for that aparticular model?
Many thanks in advance
Yves
NB: I have tried the -volume and power button trick or the +volume power button that just make a USB connection on my PC

i got my tf300t bricked to.
got my tablet this weekend wanted to install cyanogenmod.
just did a week early'er a other one (the one for my mother)
that went well
my tablet installed de orginal 4.2.1 from asus.
Today wanted to install cyanogenmod.
run first de unlocker v8
the installed fastboot twrp421.blob
when i went to the twrp menu the cyanogenmod wont install, but the orginal wont start also not, it want nothing to start.
tryed with external sd.
ok i thought i want cmw so i run the recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-tf300t.img
went wel also.
i can only go to cwm but they are no file rights and still can install a zip or mount a sd internal or external.
now fastboot is not working
when i turn the tablet on it is going to cwm
wat i can do?
edit:
cmw version = v6.0.2.3
Me too! asus ask 230$ for replace new mainboard. I think they want eat money, because they already have nvfash to fix. 230$ can buy new item from amazon. I hate asus and never buy any thing of asus. Very bad support.

I made a total noob mistake

I am taking back my tf700t back to the store and was trying to get it back to stock. I have it rooted with the bootloader still locked and i used titanium backup to clean out some bloatware and other things i didnt want... like the stock launcher.i was using nova and forgot to restore the stock launcher from backup and now i cant boot up due to a bootloop.
i have general knowledge with adb and can use it decently but im lacking the direction on how to install either a) the stock image or b) install a launcher and the play store to get me back to where i can get it back up.
i know ill have to use adb because i didnt install TWRP recovery so all i get is a reboot system, factory reset and clear cache. so can someone help me please?

[Q] Loaded Wrong TWRP on TF300T and can only access APX mode

Hello,
I loaded the wrong version of TWRP on my TF300T. When it rebooted it loaded CM10.1 just fine. I then rebooted a second time in recovery mode and I have been stuck at the ASUS screen with the "device is unlocked" message. I am able to get into APX mode but my research has shown that mode doesn't do me any good if I haven't ran a nvflash backup. I am stuck and I would appreciate some advice or suggestions. I wonder what the factory reset fee would be from ASUS.
Thank you for your responses!
what version where you on? what version did you load that you think you shouldn't? Can you enter recovery mode? fastboot mode? I used fastboot to fix my recovery TWRP just can't find the thread I got my info from.
if your seeing the asus screen like you say I don't think it has anything to do with your recovery. I just went though fixing my mistake and breaking my install of TWRP 2.4.4 patched had to install 2.5 TWRP and when I restored my backup 2.4.4 was back and working again. anyway while the recovery was broken I could still run the stock rom that was installed at that time. I think if your on the asus screen your kernel has an issue.
I don't know where I read about issues like this but I know others have had em and recovered search or someone else should be able to point in a direction but have hope doesn't sound bricked yet.

Thanks for the speedy response =)
Version History: Stock 4.1 -> CM 10.1 Nightly 0503 or 0429. I had CWM on it before trying to load openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-ICS.blob using the terminal emulator method. I think I should have loaded the JB blob but the warning on the TWRP site said to use that if you ran the offical OTA update, which I never did so I stuck with the ICS. It installed fine, then rebooted into CM 10.1 just fine. I then rebooted from there into recovery and have been stuck at the ASUS screen since.
The Vol + - button keeps me in the ASUS screen. Reset button keeps me in the asus screen. Vol + + puts me in APX mode.
I try running fastboot in APX mode but it hangs stating "waiting for device" so I don't think it'll work in APX mode.
Thanks.

Try waiting for the battery to die, then boot in CM10 and flash the correct recovery.

Am I looking at repair here?
If you send it in for repair, ASUS will charge you $198. I suggest you buy a replacement motherboard off of eBay and replace it with the one in your tablet. Also, to save other people's tablets from bricks, you may want to look into this petition.
if you get stuck in fastboot mode then there is a zip file I will find the thread again and it has cmd files that run the fastboot stuff. I was stuck not able to use fastboot commands and then the zip I found worked like a charm.
its a zip file called adb-t.. instructions where to put the twrp.blob in the folder and the update in my case 10.6.1.15.3.zip and it flashed it even though i couldn't manually do it. really wish I could find that thread but I don't have my laptop right now

Hope this helps you like it helped me out of my broken recovery. once you download and add the files you want its pretty easy. the script in english makes it pretty easy to understand what your doing and hope it works since I know my TWRP was broken I couldn't even sit at the recover,android wipe screen for more then 3 mins without it bootlooping. I put it on that screen while connected to laptop ran the recovery flash and all went well installing TWRP 2.5 which I then recovered my backup and that even restored my 2.4.4 patch TWRP like nothing happened at all. tablet runs great and have made 3 backups that work after all this.
Good luck

Power up your tablet while holding down the Vol- button, then wait until a menu appears on your tablet. Within 10 seconds, hit the Vol- button.
On your computer, run "fastboot devices". If it finds your tablet, then download the correct recovery (http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf300t/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-JB.blob), copy it to your fastboot directory, then flash it using:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-JB.blob
Followed by a reboot:
fastboot reboot

I tried running through your tread but none of the commands worked on the script. Probably because I can't get fastboot to work. When it tries to load a recovery it just states: "waiting for device" and sits there. =/

Thanks for the info. I am unable to get fastboot to recognize the device. The only way the PC recognizes it is via APX mode. Download mode just sits there at the ASUS screen and windows doesn't see any devices.
Still no love. Am I bleeding out the battery correctly? I am just running the boot screen until it dies then I try to power it on again.
I popped the back open today to see how difficult it would be to replace the mobo, doesn't look too bad. Just having difficulty finding a good online guide.
Also, just so I have the terminology straight, when the tf300t goes into a "boot loop" does it ever leave the asus screen and go black or does it just hang? Mine never goes black, just sits at the ASUS screen with "the device is unlocked" message. The only time I can get it to leave this screen is when I do a reboot and hold the + sign. then it goes black and APX is detected on windows.
Just wasn't sure if any of that information was useful.

One other solution is to unplug the battery for 30 minutes, then plug it back in.

Tried disconnecting the mobo, no love. Ordered a new one for 75$ on ebay. Replaced the mobo and now the volume button doesn't work. Checked all the ribbon cables and they're snug. Probably broke something but I can't find what, so I am thinking of sucking that up. I can control volume with the settings. The only downfall is without a volume button I can't enter the boot loader, so no rooting/ cwm.
Least I'm back in business for now! And another positive is the mobo I received was 32 gig storage so it's like I got an upgrade... with a broken volume button =)

Usually, the volume button does not fail. Remember the volume button connects to, but is NOT part of the mother board. If it feels stuck when you push it, that's because you snapped the back cover in wrong. You need to slide it in at the corner where the buttons (volume & power) are, then pop in the rest of it. Take it out and do it again.

[GUIDE] Hipstreet FLARE HS-9DTB4-8GB. Using FaaastJB to recover from bootloop/brick

First off, thanks to twjordo & toxicro on the TechKnow forums, and SilverX69 on here. Without the combined info & hard work from you three I'd have never got a working rom on my Hipstreet FLARE. This is just a guide that will hopefully help someone who found themselves in the same situation as myself.
Note to mods: If this is in the wrong section I apologise. Please move it to where it belongs.
So this recovery is for those who have somehow bricked their Hipstreet tablet. This guide was tested on a Hipstreet FLARE 9 8GB model and Windows 7. Your millage may vary on other FLARE models and operating systems. This guide assumes you have adb drivers installed.
PLEASE NOTE that I am not responsible for anything, positive or negative, that results from you following, reading, or otherwise knowing about the existence of this guide (unless you win the lottery in which case it was definitely because of this guide and you should remember your ol' buddy Thrash). I offer no support. No warranty is expressed or implied. If this doesn't work for you or something somehow goes wrong, use your initiative.
With that out the way, lets begin;
1. Ensure your tablet is powered off and disconnected from your computer.
2. Download my Hipstreet recovery pack here. Unrar the folder to your desktop.
3. Install the LiveSuitPack111 program, and also install the drivers when prompted.
4. Open LiveSuit.exe and click the blue X at the prompt.
5. Click on the Select Img option, then browse to and open the FaaastJB-v2.img from the recovery pack.
6. This part's a little tricky. Note that the tablet's screen will remain off for this step:
a. Hold down the Vol- and Power buttons
b. Connect the tablet to your PC via USB
c. Quickly release the power button, then click it 6 times. Don't let go of Vol-
d. Windows should now detect the tablet, and LiveSuit will produce a popup.
e. If a tablet is not detected by windows or LiveSuit, power off the tablet and repeat steps 6a through 6d.
7. Follow the prompts the Force Format the tablet. It will begin to flash the rom.
8. Once LiveSuit has completed flashing, it will create a dialogue notifying you, and your tablet will automatically restart.
9. Once the tablet has booted, check the touchscreen. If it works, you're done. If you find that it's inverted (touching the bottom left of the screen results in the tablet registering a touch on the upper right) then read on. The best way to test for an inverted touch screen is to try to unlock it. If the date & time shift around, then it's inverted.
10. Open callibration.bat, located in the TSCalibration folder in the recovery pack. This will install touchscreen calibration software.
11. Either using a mouse with a microUSB adaptor (recommended), or by tapping the inverse location on the screen, navigate to the Calibration app.
12. Follow the prompts in the Calibration app. Be as precise as possible. Use a capacitive stylus if you have one available.
13. Reboot the tablet. That's it, you're done!​
If you find your touchscreen doesn't work at all after flashing the new rom, this guide by SilverX69 may benefit you.
@trashwolf,
Got one of these hipstreets for my 5 year old... It's like 20 days old and now won't boot... When powering on it goes to the first logo (a blue @ and blue 9)... then nothing else happens.. Sometimes screen will go black and then back to the blue logos as if it's trying to boot again.
Do you have any ideas by chance how to get into recovery mode to set the device back to factory default? They said hold volume + and power then release power and keep holding volume but that does not work.
Would your guide on bootloop/brick resolve this problem?
Thanks for your time!
Help with camera and g-sensor
Good night!
I followed the tutorial, the installation was successful, managed to solve the problem with the touch screen, but could not get the g sensor and camera work. I read something about editing the script.bin file but do not know how to edit it. Can anyone help me solve this problem?
The tablet is a Hipstreet HS-9DTB4-8GB.
I appreciate the help.:good:
HI...about the rom in the first post,is it a custom rom ?...is it rooted ?...is it modified ?...can we root this piece of crap ?...can we remove all the no needed apps ?
thanks
its the 600th hundreds time im doing a hard reset to make this thing work properly.....sishhhhhhhhhhhhh
Hi guys I just wanted to let you know that Hipstreet has put out a firmware update to fix these boot loop issues.. I think it only came out last month judging by the build number. My wife's tablet stopped working months ago and couldn't get this fix above in the OP to work for our Flare 2 9 inch 8gb. Here's the link to the hipstreet update page for the flare 2 (worked great for us!)
http add the colon //flare2.hipstreetonline.ca/
Our shop flashed two flare 2 last month with the march 24th 2014 firmware on flare2 . hipstreetonline . ca and they both came back today with the same problem... One was replaced, and serviced twice since December, the other one was serviced 3 times. They are both back in for the 4th time...
simply hold Vol - and the Power button while powering up to get into recovery mode. There you can do a factory reset. This has solved boot loops for me in the past.

Root Status = ROOTED
I cannot boot into recovery mode (but when i try i get this, look in pic 2&3)
Tablet Type = HKC (NOT HTC) p776a
ANDROID Version I think (98% shure) is 4.1.1 beta JB
What happened = A few years ago 2013 i think a got this tablet then i learned about rooting, roms, and such so i spent the next year or two trying to root the tablet. I finally got it rooted with a chinese root program and all was well (i don't remember the name of the program) then there was a update for su and i pressed the twrp/cwm mode on accident (I think I was talking to someone at the time) and now it does what is shown in the image 1 it is on some boot loop. When I try to access the hboot menu it does what is shown in these images 2&3. Also my tablet has a MicroSD card slot and the battery can not be taken out. the regular bootloop picture is image file 1 that is what it looks like when it does its continuous bootloop and P.S. the tablet turns off and on automatically during the bootloop. To try and fix it i have let it do its bootloop for hours on end turn it on and off tried looking for a compatible rom (to no avail) and let the battery completely die that is about it.

Okay. Just a few more questions.
Does your tablet boot into recovery (picture 1) even if you try to boot normally? (fastboot maybe)
Can you boot into anything else other than recovery? (try different button combinations)
Does ADB recognise your tablet when it's in recovery mode? (if you don't know about this, just post your computer OS and if you have ADB/Fastboot drivers installed on your PC)
If the anwser the the first question is no:
Does ADB recognise the device while it's in the bootloop.

sorry, i forgot to clarify the hboot. it pops up the "words" or whatever then automatically reboots there is no way to select options or keep the device on so i cant use fastboot unless there is a way i dont know of. P.S. the tablet restarts automatically so it is on for like 25 maybe 30 seconds then shuts off then turns back on and repeats till the battery is dead. My thought originally to fix it was to get a rom put it on the sdcard and see if that works but the manufacture does not supply the rom for my model only the p771a. and the only physical buttons are the home, power, the pinhole reset button, the volume and such buttons are virtual on the screen when it is fully on. And picture 1 i dont fully know what that screen symbol is the hboot one is similar but not that but yes it does but to picture 1 nomadder what i do even if i try to get to hboot menu. Sorry if this is a "little" scattered having explaining it. If it would help i can make a video and rar it and upload it here.

1. Download fixcache.bat.zip on your computer. Extract cachefix.bat from the file.
2. Run it. It should say just "Waiting for device..."
3. Now reset your tablet with the reset button and QUICKLY plug it into the computer and wait a few minutes.
Now try to get to that text in picture 1 and tell me what happends.
Also post the text you see on the computer from the file I sent you.
Tell me if

Umm, you said there is a reset button on the tablet so pressing that would probably reset it.
The error you are getting is because adb is not installed on your PC. Use this simple adb installer to instal adb. When installing just press yes to everything. MAKE SURE THE PHONE IS PLUGGED IN THE COMPUTER WHILE INSTALLING AND THAT IT'S ON!
Now run the file again.
If you want you can add me on Skype: janekmuric
---------- Post added at 13:51 ---------- Previous post was at 13:26 ----------
If you want to know what is happening:
You are in what's called a recovery bootloop. It's when you can't get out of the recovery. What is happening in this case is that Superuser app tried to install it's binaries via recovery. Because some people don't know how to install binaries manually, the app puts a file on the cache partition so the recovery automaticly installs the zip upon booting. Now, this would be good so you don't mess up your device, but the zip file it's trying to install is faulty so it just breaks the device.
My attept at fixing this is to delete the /cache/recovery folder so it doesn't just install the file, and instead boots into a working recovery.

That would be great but i cant keep my tablet on for more than like 30 seconds before it auto shuts off and it automatically tries to go into recovery when i add power to the device it wont just boot to the OS

30 seconds is more than enough. Especally with an automated script like the one I sent you.
The first thing we have to do to fix your tablet is to establish a working ADB connection. Use the ADB installer i sent you. And look up on how to install Google USB driver for ADB.
