[Q] No longer able to get into recovery mode. - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have the Asus Eeepad transformer TF101, I've had it less then a year now, and when I got it, it had been refurbished. Today I had tried to root it, and that's where it all went wrong. The root managed to go through fine, but once I rebooted it, it would not get past the first screen "the eeepad" screen. So I managed to get into recovery mode and undo the root and get it back to factory settings. I once again rebooted and it worked fine...until I went to install the most recent firmware update... the installation fails, again booted it and its stuck at the first screen again. Did another system restore, and tried to upgrade it once more, just in case it hit a glitch or something. Same thing happens, error in the middle of installation and freezes at the screen. Again tried to restore... and this time I wasn't even able to get into the mode to restore... I get the android guy with the loading bar, then the next second I get the android guy with the warning sign with an "!" in the middle of it.... It won't even let me clear the data, it just sits there with the speaker popping every 5 seconds or so. I could really use some help.

Use easy flash and restore your tablet to stock... then if you want try rooting it using the same tool... while using easy flash, read the instruction carefully...go to android development and go to easy flash forum n download the latest software n use it... good luck, if u have nay doubt then ask after reading....

Remove all installed drivers(including Asus sync and any other Asus software) and then download and install naked driver(link is available in easy flash thread).. now plug your tablet and when it asks for driver install naked driver... if it doesn't then go to device manager on your laptop and install from there... once this is done, press power button and volume up buttons together for 5 secs and that will take your tablet into APX mode... plug the tablet back, your laptop will install APX drivers then go back to device manager and right click on the unknown device and update/install driver( same naked driver).. once you have installed required drivers its just a matter of running easy flasher...

I think my lg g2x is bricked (im kind of a noob)

What i did before this problem
1.used the lg support tool to go from froyo to gingerbead (worked great)
2. attempted to use clockwork rom to install icecream sandwhich based rom (it failed)
What i get now
1.If i turn my phone on like i always would i would get the lg logo, and it would stay like that forever
2. if i try to boot into recovery i get "s/w upgrading"
I contacted lg and they said to send it in and wait 2 WEEKS to get it back and there may be an additional charge
Can someone please help me fix this without going to lg. I just want to be able to use my phone again :'(
run this:

I did the exact same thing to my phone the other day. Then install the new rom via clockworld after its done.
But if you installed the 2.3.4 then don't update to any rom besides the kwes 2.3.4 because anything else you won't have audio or anything while in call there is no fix for it yet besides using kdz to downgrade.

you have to use nvflash to snap it out of that... I remember i had it stuck on that for awhile until i flashed the stock recovery/bootloader stuff and then reflashed cwm and then it finally came to

if you're unsure of the APX drivers set-up you have a more basic guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
Remove the battery.
Plug in your USB cable to your PC.
Hold Volume Up and Volume Down at the same time keeping them held down.
Plug in the USB cable to your phone. (Keep the buttons held until Windows detects a new APX device.)
Open Device Manager in Windows and you should see "APX Device" listed with an error icon.
Right click on the APX device.
Select 'Update driver software'.
Select 'Browse my computer...'.
Select 'Let me pick...'.
Select 'Have disk'.
Browse to directory you extracted the *driver* software to: One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-09-23\APX.
Accept any warnings, including the big red alert (you may need to disable UAC).
Now in Device Manager under 'USB Controllers' you should have an 'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices'.
If not, uninstall the driver, reboot, rinse and repeat.

I don't think you're booting the phone up into cwm the right way.
Lol do this:
Make sure phone is off. While the phone is off hold down the volume down button.
While still holding volume down, hold the power button.
Continue to hold BOTH the volume down and power buttons. When the SECOND LG logo appears, let go of both of the buttons.
And no offense, but if you're not comfortable with modding your phone... you really shouldn't do it or ask someone else who knows what they're doing to do it.

From my personal experiance with the G2x (i thought i had bricked my phone), i have discovered that it is nearly impossible to brick this phone. I had ran the g2x nullifier and fully wiped my phone clean. When I power up the phone, all i get is the initial white LG logo. Luckely, i discovered the following thread that got my phone functional again:

That script is perfectly fine and didn't hurt your phone at all. It states that it will wipe everything out even the rom you were previously on. So when the phone rebooted it stayed on that LG logo because it didn't have a rom to bootup.
At that point a quick battery pull and reboot into recovery was all you needed to do.

Try flashing the stock recovery thru the one click nvflash utility and leave it off for a few min. Then run the g2x batch cleanup tool and see if it then let's u boot into the recovery. (By holding down volume - when hitting power on)

Ok, so then its safe to assume that you rooted your phone first? Then you set up your phone by using nvflash so you can use ClockWorkMod (CWM)? Then booted your phone into recovery and tried to install ICS? If not done in this order then thats your fault. If you did it in this order then you missed something.
A common mistake is trying to install a ROM via CWM while the phone is running. When you do this the phone restarts and gives you the error triangle with android underneath it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039985 Tells you how to do as well as provides links to everything it doesn't.
As for recovery they provisded the right link. Follow it to the "T" and you'll be ok.

But the key issue was that CWM recovery was destroyed as well after nullifing thus leaving me in a stand still to do something. nvflash was the only thing left to recover the phone at that point which worked very well.
There is pretty much no way that after running either the One-Click or Cleanup Batch that he can't get the phone into CWM unless there is a hardware problem. This most likely means that the problem isn't with the scripts or phone, but with the procedure he is attempting.
Even if nullifier (which I don't think is of much use here) had wiped all partitions, the NVFlash will still pop you out of it and leave you with a working CWM.
So keep reading and keep watching videos of how to do it and make sure your drivers are correct. READ a bunch first.
And remember that he got here due to an LG software problem or issue with operation, not from trying to flash as a noob, so he knows he's in over his head right now.
Remember, we all had to start swimming somewhere and it usually wasn't pretty at first. Mine was a corrupted Motorola RAZR.
It appears that this is an older post, but if you are still having this issue, then maybe I can help. If anyone else finds this later, hopefully it helps them as well. I just did something similar and I thought I was screwed. I rooted my phone, installed a ROM (Hellfire... nice ROM BTW), then I got the nullifier. I installed the ROM before I ran the nullifier because I wanted to make sure the ROM worked. However, after running the nullifier, the ROM didn't work.
The only thing that I could get to show was the LG logo at the startup... no second logo (Blue LG), no SW upgrade... NOTHING. The phone wouldn't do anything else. Luckily, I wasn't the first to have this issue and they found the solution...
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566681
Since you have already done other steps, I am assuming that you already have the drivers installed. So, the only thing you should need to do is download the ROM then install it by clicking flash.bat. The instructions on the page are pretty easy to follow.
No need to deal with the NvFlash until AFTER you do the above procedure. You will need to run it again after the above procedure because it puts it back in the original state (pretty much). The NvFlash will give you the superuser and Clockmod back. You should be good to go after that.
There is no way u can brick the g2x......even if u wanted to.........keep messing around

Not sure if its bricked...

Hello everybody. Bought slider101 us... 8.6.5.18 Successfully rooted with Razorclaw. Superuser installed.
Didnt have a chance to flash CWR.
Tried to update through asus notification that i got on my tablet. At the end of update it said something like "failure to update",but it changed to 8.6.5.21 on my tablet. After that tried to install recovery through" recovery installer", couldnt do it. I guess I lost my root on my tablet because of that update and Razorclaw doesnt work with .21 I did try to fix it through ADB commands which led my tablet to non stop rebooting. Cant load a screen after ASUS logo. It keeps rebooting.
The last try was this Nvflash "Unbricking and forever root" but when I hit download batch file it disconnects me from computer and looks like APX is disapearing on Device Manager place.
Cant load to recovery cause didnt install it. Tried to find sollution ,no luck so far. im not sure if its bricked. Thanks for any help in advance.
Update: problem fixed-- somehow could get into the screen where i could wipe data, I think it was system kind of recovery. And then installed nachoroot, cwm recovery, android revolution super wipe and ROM. Works perfect!
I belive you're not supposed to update when rooted.

There are a few NVflash methods to unbrick devices here. You should read them all in general thread and development thread and see which one suit your slider101. And when you find one, please try different PC to do it. Some PC just act strange but some would give you profit..

Just for future reference, what steps did you take to fix it? It was my understanding that nvflash does not work for the Slider at all.

I think it wasnt really bricked, it just couldnt load main desktop screen. Its stucked on ASUS logo.I managed to get into system recovery screen where u can see "wipe data" and i think an image of droid man. So by pushing volume down and turning it on u can see that screen, and u need to point onto "wipe data" little green square by pushing volume up right after Ive read something like "cold boot" written with small white letters. And then it started to wipe all data. After that it could boot to the main desktop screen. From there I rooted with nachoroot since I have 8.65.21. Razorclaw can root up to I think .19.

[Q] What did I do...

Ok... I bought my Transformer about a year ago, rooted it and everything... was doing great, but decided to go back to stock rom, but still wanted to be rooted... ok I had TWRP Recovery on it... I downloaded the newest stock off ASUS site... US_epad_user-9.2.1.27.zip... and put on my SD card... I wiped everything and flashed it like a normal rom... now here is the crap part... I can boot into the rom, and everything is great, but I cant seem to be able to root or anything, when I try Power/VOL Down/VOL UP... I get a standing android for a few seconds then the dead one with a red ! point... I can still use the device, but would really like to get rooted again... HELP... have tried EasyFlasher now, and Brks_rootkit_v8... But doesnt seem to find the device with the dead android.
Thanks for any help

Go to development thread and look at easyflash, download easyflash and restore your tablet... read the instructions properly...

easyflasher requires APX mode, doesn't matter if it's "a dead droid". Just put it in APX, install the drivers (instructions are in the post) and flash a new firmware, then follow instructions for root (just hit the button in easyflasher). As long as your device is detected in APX, then it'll work.
Stupid me !!!
I was holding Power/Down Vol.... needed to be holding Power/UP Vol... to inter into APX... what a Dummy I feel like... ok... I am back to happy...

Never mind my last post, you need to be able to boot into a rom to use kdz updater, it's been a while since I had to do this kind of thing.
I'm pretty sure you only soft bricked your phone (i.e. it still turns on) and the only way, that I know of, is to use nvflash. I've had the same problem before, there could be many things that are causing the phone to not be recognized by your computer. Follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17258229
when you plug the usb into your phone make sure the audio on you computer is loud enough for you to hear that "usb recognized" sound. If you don't hear it, or it does not get recognized, try using a different usb port on your computer, believe me that actually worked for me a couple of times. Also, make sure you follow the steps very carefully because if you use the wrong button combination, or release the buttons too early, it won't work.
I wish I could help you more, but that's all i've got.
Good luck, and if by any chance you get it fixed, don't try to root your phone using any root tools, simply nvflash cwm recovery and flash your choice of a custom rom, that will automatically give you root privileges.

every time i look at my apx driver it always tells me to troubleshoot but it always says driver not installed. ive downloaded the same driver in different posts just to make sure but nothing helps. Wireless shops are useless. I live in vegas and there isnt a single store with a person smart enough to figure it out.lol. ive given my phone up for days at a time to shops who brag about "WE CAN FIX ANYTHING" they lied. well i guess im going to search for a few more hours on here to get some kind of lead. thanks for the help. if you kknow anything else or figure something out i would appreciate the help.
Have you tried this stuff?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619932
It sounds to me like your pc's jacked up the driver somehow. Try plugging in the phone with the battery out and holding all 3 buttons, go into your device manager and uninstall all the USB drivers. Then reboot and try following the apx driver installation procedure again.
Sorry if you tried all this stuff a million times already.
I would say the two things that I would focus on would be to first fix the drivers on your computer. I downloaded mine from the LG website. Next is to flash CWM Recovery so you can flash a rooted ROM to your phone. I would go back to the thread where you got the instructions to start flashing and ask the same questions but only after reading the whole thread. There the orig. developer might chime in and you'll have more specific answers focused on your specific issue.
It's true your phone isn't bricked and have patience and you'll get it fixed.

well i have all the drivers needed. and the computer is fine but the phone is not. i mean the pc doesnt quite read the phone right. with that being said i dont know how to flash cwm recovery to a phone my computer cant read. im running windows 7 64bit and all my usb drivers work fine.
CWM = Clockworkmod Recovery (everyone remember this is a newbie).
Important question: Did you do a backup before making any changes to your phone?
Also, try this: remove your phone's battery for 30 seconds. Put the battery back in. Press and hold the volume down button, then press and hold the power button. Hold both buttons. First you'll see the white LG screen, then wait, when you next see the blue LG screen wait ONE second (no longer) then release the buttons. Tell us what the phone does then and what the screen says.
Have you tried taking out your SIM card and micro SD card?
Usually right after I take them out and plug in my phone while holding volume up and volume down... it usually works after that.
Yup, that's my problem. No matter how many USB ports I tried it still wouldn't read it until I took out the SIM card and micro SD ;p.
Try this on for size...

Sounds like you are having the same the issues i was having with my phone why dont you try this..... First you have to flash a custom recovery image for your phone, follow all the procedures exactly then once you have flashed your CWM Recovery ( i. e. Clockworkmod recovery) Once you have installed that properly, you can now flash your new custom ROM and that should help to fully reboot your phone back to recovery for you to start using again....... hope that works for you.......just as it did for me have a good one!!... :fingers-crossed:

well i brought it to two shops and were both unsuccessful. wireless toyz and smart fix. i have it back and it goes to the lg screen. and instead of the second it flashes from black to a very dim gray back and forth. when i hold the power button along with the volume down it does a master reset and i can press the home button then it takes me to a screen to delete cache partition and what not and you move up and down with the volume keys but i cannot select anything. i think i really messed my phone up.
Somehow you got stock recovery. Google for howbto do a master reset, on devices like the nexus tablet at my work there's a series of steps needed to do a full reset/restore. Just booting into stock recovery may not give you the option. As well, please post those screen shots as I said earlier, this way the issue with the USB can be troubleshot and maybe we can get you a fully working phone with CWM.

Hello, i think i did something wrong....
I download the basebandupdate.zip file, i used rom manager to flash. Flash process was sucessful. But then, i reboot the fone. Fone shown LG logo, but then blank on off with black screen....just stuck there.
I then remove the battery, try todo ahard reboot, power and down button, the mailbox and arrow comes up, then LG but then goes in the black screen onoff mode again.
I then remove the battery, repeat the same procedure, but then i hold the up button, the sw update logo display, with indication of "pleasewait for sw update".
From my understanding, i dont think the fone can do any update, the screen displayed the message ,but it just sit there.
Please i need help. Did i bricked my fone? Is there a solution to this? Thank you in advance.

since you mentioned you flashed it via rom manager, i assume you simply download the file and install rom manager.
basically thats a fake recovery, it is not permanent in other words. If you wish to get a permanent recovery system installed, just use the NVflasher, find it on xda or google, i am pretty sure the sticky has ALL the info you need, literally.
After you have flashed the CWM or TWRP via NVflasher, its time to follow the sticky
download the windows usb drivers, download the lg updater, download the new baseband and flash it with the emulated server (unless you are living in korea i dont think there is any updates via the official updater).
Like the other poster said, the newer baseband fixed a lot of the issues.
once again, read the stickies, it is a freaking gold mine.

Also for future reference.... DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING WITH ROM MANAGER ON YOUR G2X. ALWAYS flash from cwm or twrp. Rom manager doesnt play well with our phone. Ive gotten to the point where i dont even use rom manager. I download my roms straight from xda, back up, and restore or flash any zip file from cwm. Again do NOT use rom manager to flash anything, Or you will get the problem you just described.
