after JB update i install TWRP then i remember that i shouldn't use it until a new update. I wanted to do a factory reset but having a custom recovery would not let me do it. I was looking for a guide to restore stock bootloader, it didn't work completly cause i still had TWRP has recovery. After that i notice that i did get 4 icons, RCK-android -usb - data wipe. after factory reset wasn't still working, i press data wipe to see if that works and now i don't get anything more than TWRP recovery (which doesn't work with JB) but when i reboot my tablet holding volume down i don't get any message at all. Goes straight to recovery.
I somehow managed to do the EXACT same thing!! All I get now is TWRP, no matter what button combination I press at startup. I can't seem to get it to recognise my external SDCard either.
Anyone have any ideas? Our tablets are dead in the water!!! :crying:
Try using fastboot + one of the system blobs that asus has posted on its website.

If you are able to enter fastboot, (it's the USB icon of the 4), you may be in luck, you could for instance try intalling ClockworkMod Recovery, which is compatable with Jellybean, you could try flashing a stock firmware... I wouldn't start using my tablet as a coaster just yet...

as far as i understand eduardmc he's NOT able to enter fastboot...i got exactly the same situation here - only twrp 2.2.2.1 or apx-mode with volume+, no other boot-options...
@nverhaar: i managed to mount my sd-card after reformatting it (fat32) fix permissions in twrp advanced menu and wiping evrything. no chace to install a new system though, when trying to flash www_epad-user-9.4.5.30.zip (or any other...) it starts finding opening installing but ends up with
assert failed:write_raw_image "staging"
E:error in (external ...zip
status 7
unable to mount /cache (tw_mount)
Have you tried to install the naked drivers to see if they recognize your device?

Hello,
I need some help to get the new ICS update. I have a TF101 (no G), serial B80, with firmware HTK75.WW_epad-8.6.6.23.
Previously I was on 8.6.6.19 and used razorclaw to root it. Then I have done the wipe data, and installed 8.6.6.23.
When I boot with Power and Vol- then Vol+ to enter RCK mode I get the green android guy with exclamation mark.
When I boot with Power and Vol-, then Vol+ I get 2 options: Wipe data and android cold boot.
I used some apps to test if the device is root and they say no.
Sorry for my english, but it's not my main language.
Any idea to fix this?
The 8.6.6.23 is firmware for the 3G model. You will not see OTA since ICS is not released for G model yet.
You can try to manually install 8.5.6.21. You could also try rooting and installing cwm recovery and flash the ICS ROM
Thanks for the answer. I've searched around and it seems that I can't get back to 8.5.6.21.
When I try to install it I get the android guy with exclamation point.
I guess I have to wait for ICS on 3G model

Easiest way is to root, install CWM recovery and flash an ICS ROM. Either the stock rooted ROM or one of the many custom ROMs
I was in a similar situation. The ASUS recovery did not work for me either and I couldn't figure out how to install CWM. There is not a lot of help for noobs with B80s and with all the methods out there it was a challenge to find the correct one. Here's what I did:
1. If you are not rooted, follow the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427838 to get rooted. I had updated to the .21 firmware, and at that point, the nachoroot method is the only option. I had some trouble connecting ADB, but eventually I got it to work. This was the most difficult part of the process.
2. Install CWM. I was having trouble with this using the ASUS recovery, and I think it has to do with B80 models. I found the app in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180 and it is amazing. If you are rooted, it installs CWM even on the B80 versions. The custom recovery will allow you to install any rom.
3. Download the option B ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514658. Place the zip on your SD card. This rom is the ASUS stock ICS firmware with root. Contrary to what some have said--I noticed a huge difference with ICS!
3. Backup all your user apps and data with Titanium Backup (optional). Do not back up system data, just user apps if you want to keep them.
4. Open your recovery. Shut the tablet off, and boot into recovery by holding down the power button and the volume down button until you are prompted to boot into recovery by pressing volume up. Pressing volume up should load CWM.
5. Wipe and then install! To wipe, select "wipe" on the recovery menu. Then wipe all data, cache, and dalvik-cache. To install, select install zip from SD card and find the zip file you downloaded in step 3.
Best of luck!
Hi,
may i hook in here, i've got a similar problem:
i TRY to get in adb mode, but it doesn't work as expected:
i used this thread initially (ASUS Transformer Root ToolKit V7.1 Universal (Windows) | 2011-09-22), i downloaded the toolkit, connected my turned off tab to the pc, booted via Power + vol up, it got connected to windows and i installed the drivers. so far so good. BUT: if i start adb server and use adb device, i dont get any devices listed... i cant do anything. And when i use this nvflash method with the download.bat file, i get an error and the usb connection vanishes... i dont have any further ideas what to do. but i can boot afterwards normaly to 3.2.1, though i dont get any updates
any hints? Thanks for reading anyways
thanks, DK

What you did was put your tablet into APX mode. That's only good if you're doing NVFLash not ADB.
To use ADB just have yourtablet on like normal with USB debugging turn on
Hi,
thanks for your fast reply, you are right. i got my adb device id when beeing in the os, so this works. but, trying to use nvflash/Brk's Asus TF RootKit over apx, i got the initial connection, but when i want to flash it looses the connection or dies or something... no idea what
you got any hints how i can come back to a clean version, which is upgradable?
thx & best regards,

Just picked up a TF101 and it had the Cryo (whatever it is called) OS with ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.4. The OS didn't pick up wifi on the apps but it is on and logged into the router so I did a reset. Once I reset the TF101, i am stuck at CWM. It won't boot into any OS or anything else. I tried almost everything I found googling (this site and others) but nothing works. I did, however, got the TF drivers for my laptop so I can connect to it but I can't get the USB debug option on (of course).
So what are my options? how do I "unbrick" this thing? is this what some people call it soft-brick as it does boot but there just isn't any OS in there? I tried to put the OS zip file from Asus on a MicroSD but when I went to install zip from sdcard, it i can't get to the microSD to install it. it doesn't find it at all.
what can I do? what are the steps in unbricking this thing? I got this for my dad for father's day (chinese father's day which is TODAY...) and would like to get it to him.
Thanks in advance!
Is it in a CWM boot loop? Meaning when you reboot the tablet it keep going back to CWM?
Try this to see if you can boot OS.
Turn off tablet
Push and hold Vol down plus Power button
Wait till you see a screen that give you two options
Wipe data or Cold boot Linux
Choose Cold boot to boot into OS.

still stuck in CWM. I held it down and no options came up except to push vol +. tried both and regardless of what i do, it just goes right back into the CWM menu. it seems there's no OS to this tablet anymore?
Is there something I can do via USB cable to flash a ROM in there?

If you have ADB working, you can push a ROM file to internal memory and flash it.
Alternatively you can NVFlash a compatible ROM.

Sorry to sound ignorant but what's ad and what command (extra code after the .exe) do I add afterwards?
I'd try to flash a ROM via NVFLASH.
You may download it from here, but you must know if your TF101 is WW version, US version or any other. You must also know if your device is SBK1 or SBK2. That depends on the serial number. For example, mine starts by B50 and it's SBK1. If yours is SBK2 then you'll have to take a look at wheelie. If not, take a look here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620758
However, I'm not responsible for any damage your device might suffer.
Take a look at that and tell me
here's the endall- easyflash version 0.8.3b whitekidneys just updated it and saved my brick. it'll save yours too. just install it on your computer, along with naked drivers 0.7, put the tf in apx, and flash. literally that easy.
Follow the link to easy flash / nvflash and follow the steps...

Hi all,
I had my Transformer up and running on CM10 when I decided to give Asus JB a try this morning. As a preparation I tried to switch from TWRP to CWM. So I followed the instructions here using dd in a terminal on my tablet. After this I tried rebooting into recovery (Power + VolDown).
But I didn't work, it took me directly to a message saying "OS will cold boot in 10 Seconds if the selected mode is not confirmed". I had the choice between wiping and fastboot.
So I went into fastboot and tried to reinstall TWRP using fastboot. This worked withoud errors but after a reboot to recovery I got the same problem. When I choosed wipe date the splash screen from TWRP came up for a few seconds and then it disappeared and I shows me some lines telling me that it wiped my data - and then the device reboots.
A normal reboot led me to a screeen showing the ASUS Logo and the "The device is UnLocked" in the upper left corner. And nothing more happens...
So tried to reinstall CWM using fastpath which also worked without problems. After reboot still no direct access to CWM, had to go through wipe-data again and then it jumped into CWM. I installed several different Images with CWM but none of them solved that problem. The device still istn't able to boot into OS or direct into CWM.
I also tried to flash the blob file from stock firmware using fastboot, but after the transfer ended and it startet to flash it stopped with an red line saying an error occured.
Now I'm running out of ideas how to solve this problem. Any ideas?

No, not before my tablet got bricked. I tried to recover with a stock Rom afterwards and accidentally downloaded and flashed .30 instead of .26
Maybe this makes things worse but the problem is not caused by that.

Have you try this :
Code:
*** Factory Restore after a softbrick/Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore ***
When You Need This?
* if you get stuck on Asus boot screen (the one with the spinning wheel)
* If you don't like JB and you want ICS back
* if you want to get back to a clean stock firmware
Note: You need to have a working recovery (stock or custom) in order to use this method.
========= Recover /Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore with stock recovery =========
1) Download the latest firmware from Asus site (based os your SKU,eg. ww 9.4.5.26 * to downgrade from Jelly Bean you need the 9.4.5.30 firmware)
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 .

Yes. I tried this but it does not work. When I start with pressing Power and VolumeDown the system only lets me choose between wipe data and fastboot mode. It does not recognize any system update files
Problem solved...
Hi,
just to let you know I solved my problem. After trying a lot of different possible solutions described in a lot of threads nothing worked for me. Finally I flashed JellyBean through CWM from external SD Card. This did not change anything but after booting into fastboot mode I installed the kernel blob extracted from a zip file found here by using
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash boot blob
And that's it.... after 10 hours of try and error I finally got my device up and running again....
I managed to root my TF101 using this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1689193
The problem is I TWRP is not installed.
When I press Volume Down + Power buttons and then The Volume Up, my device goes to a screen with 2 icons, "Wipe Data" and "Android" and after 10 seconds it boots to Android. I assume this is the stock recovery.
I Tried:
1) Both EasyFlashers (http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...t/31927-frederuco-s-guide-root-rom-tf101.html)
2) Goo Manager
3) Terminal Mathod (http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/109)
All of them failed.
Is there anything else for me to try?
What were your steps when you tried using Easyflasher ?
I confirmed the device was in APX mode, through the device manager.
Run EasyFlasher.exe and chose the SBK1 (my TF101 is B60)
Chose "TWRP 2.2.1" and pressed Flash.
Everything seems to be working, since both in the command prompt and the device I get that the process was successful, but booting to recovery does not run TWRP, instead if goes to the screen I mentioned earlier.

Not sure it matters, but did you run Easyflasher as Admin ?
Ensure the correct APX drivers were installed ?
Reboot the TF once before trying to enter recovery ?
Held the Vol Down & Power from a powered off state until the white text appeared at the top of the screen, then hit volume up to enter RCK ?

1. Yes, I am administrator.
2. I used Universal Naked Drivers 0.72 from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942
3. Yes, after using any of the methods mentioned, I allowed it to reboot once normally.
4. Yes, I get the screen I mentioned with the Wipe Data/Android, when I press Vol Up after the Vol Down+Power combination.
When I say Run as Admin, I mean Right click the exe and choose Run as Administrator
I'd try using the drivers included in the Easyflasher bundle here (EDIT - Dev recommends the drivers you used anyway)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
As it uses APX this shouldn't matter, but make sure USB Debugging is enabled in Developer Options too and let it install the drivers while powered on and connected to the PC
I'd try another USB port too to rule that out
Which SBK/Serial is your TF?
EDIT -Another thought, are you running a stock ROM atm? Which one ?
You could try using Peri to flash TWRP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681155

Update:
I also tried to install CM recovery, using the 3rd option of 1-Click Transformer Root. Again, I don't see anything to get installed (a blue bar is not showing) and it just reboots to Android.
Lately, I have a problem.
I get a "DMClient has stopped" error twice each time I turn the TF101 on. I think this is the ASUS update process. Can this be relevant?

Your TF is SBK1, so should have no problem getting a custom recovery flashed to it, the only thing I'm wondering is if the stock ROM is causing problems, I seem to remember someone else with stock having problems getting a modern custom recovery flashed too
Unfortunately the only way to flash KatKiss is from custom recovery TWRP as the ROMs are released in flashable .zip format
Do you have another PC you could use to try and flash TWRP via Easyflasher ?
What OS are you running on your PC ?
At least one of the methods you have tried should have definitely worked, so long as the TF is in APX mode, the drivers are installed, and the PC can see the TF, Easyflasher should have done the job
I never recommend flashing CWM as it screws with JB ROMs, but it might be worth trying to flash that recovery first, then a custom ICS ROM, after that if you get that far, try installing TWRP again before trying to flash a JB ROM
Just make sure you don't flash a JB ROM with CWM recovery installed

Lately, I have a problem.
I get a "DMClient has stopped" error twice each time I turn the TF101 on. I think this is the ASUS update process. Can this be relevant?

Hmm, you could try clearing the data / cache from DMClient in Settings > Apps > All
Code:
1. Settings
2. Applications
3. Running services
4. All
5. DMClient
6. Clear data
7. Force stop
8. Shut down and restart the tablet
Maybe there is an old update file stuck in cache causing problems
Have you tried factory resetting it 100% ?
I did a few things, at the same time.
1. Changed USB port.
2. Used the original EasyFlasher.
3. Cleared and force stopped the DMClient, which I believe did the trick.
Now, TWRP got installed, although It also did a hard reset to my device. When it opened, I had to setup the device like it was the first time I turn it on.
Anyway, I think I will continue to Kat Kiss installation now.
Thanks for your help.

Ah good news, yea it does sound as if the DMClient was stopping the install, Im not sure exactly how it works, but possibly if the TF thinks there is a pending update, it won't allow the flash until its cleared
Good thing you mentioned it, I was almost at a loss as to what was causing the problem
And yep, now you have it installed, make sure you are up to date 2.3.2.3 (Use GooManager to install the latest version), and then you can install any custom ROM you like from TWRP

I managed to root my TF101 using this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1689193
The problem is I TWRP is not installed.
When I press Volume Down + Power buttons and then The Volume Up, my device goes to a screen with 2 icons, "Wipe Data" and "Android" and after 10 seconds it boots to Android. I assume this is the stock recovery.
I Tried:
1) Both EasyFlashers (http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...t/31927-frederuco-s-guide-root-rom-tf101.html)
2) Goo Manager
3) Terminal Mathod (http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/109)
All of them failed.
Is there anything else for me to try?

this has a beta twrp zip that is flashable, maybe help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2308565
Hello,
I'm trying to install the MarshMallow 6.0.1 Release on my TF101 (SBK2 -BBxxxxx) with stock rom IMLK74K.WW_epad-9.2.1.27-20120615 and easyflasher (universal naked drivers installed correctly on windows 10). I can flash it correctly but I have the same problem as lefterhs.
I have also tried different version of twrp, latest easyflasher, different USB ports, with USB debugging on the device, still same problem, only choice is android and wipe data.
I have also tried with CWM but I had the error can't mount SD card. Rooted with 1-click transformer root. I begin to believe I will not be able to change the ROM. Any idea?
Thanks,
EDIT: Problem solved, managed to flash Roach CWM 5.5.0.4 from EasyFlasher and flash TWRP 2.8.1.1 from zip inside Roach CWM 5.5.0.4 recovery. Then followed the procedure in https://forum.xda-developers.com/eee-pad-transformer/development/rom-t3318496. Katkiss is running on my tf101.

Greetings guys,
I'm quite new here. I just received my asus tf300 from my brother as he dont want to use it anymore. The sad thing is my tf300 is bootlooping. I don't what happen but one day it is suddenly bootlooping at the ASUS white logo. I try to re-flash the stock ROM but fail. During the bootloader, it said something like this
"Android cardhu-user bootloader ＜1.00 e＞ released by "US_epad-10.6.1.15.3-20130416" A03 Key Driver not found.. Booting OS
I dont know what does that mean. My tablet will bootloop and I can't shut down the tablet as I need to wait until the battery dried off. I try to re-flash using the technique in master guide help ([GUIDE] How to manually update/restore firmware (Tf700, TF300, TF101, possibly TF201))
but it won't work. I try few firmwares but i still does the same thing. I dont know how to use the fast boot as there is no USB icon in my bootloader. So I dont know what to do. And of course my tablet has no warranty anymore.
Any suggestion? Btw, my device is locked, not installed recovery cwm or twrp. so I dont know what to do. I searched everywhere to fix my device by cant get it done
Hello ,
go to the Recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. And after that normally reboot and then it must work.
Fastboot will be start when you go to the recovery . The old USB Icon for Fastboot was removed by Asus by the update to 4.2 Jelly Bean.
Press Power button and volume Down for 10 sec to come in recovery. After that select rck and make the wipe cache and dalvik !
