[Q] Flash to stock using computer? - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to flash to stock using a computer? (similar to Odin for Samsung and RSD for Motorola)
My screen is having issues and cutting out and it is no longer working so I'd like to flash it to stock before I RMA it.

just flash the blob file thats in the stock zip via fastboot
think the right command was
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob
this take a long time, so don´t panic cause you see nothing in the fastboot window. Wait till your pad is rebooting.

First you need to provide more info (i.e. did you tried to flash something before this issue occured?, your device is unlocked?) and maybe we can help you.
Yes tablet is unlocked.
i flashed it with CWM Recovery and problems started.
Can't mount anything....
Then i used commands:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
Now then i trying to boot , it brings me error

I can't read the error from that video but i think you should flash a boot.img via fastboot and then flash CWM or TWRP recovery the same vai (via fastboot). BTW you have to use a boot.img from a JB rom.

Error is 0x000000000
Where i can get boot.img?
Then i extract blob file, i get 5 blob filesblob.
HEADER – Header stuff (ignore it)
blob.APP – system.img
blob.LNX – boot.img
blob.SOS – recovery.img (e.g. regular boot.img)
blob.EBT – bootloader.bin (ignore)
Do i have to rename blob.LNX to boot.img or i should't ?
Do i need to erase all system boot recovery data?
Thanks.

You made the same mistake I made:

APX means you get to use nvflash, right?
I wish I was on the same boat.
Yes i can use nvflash.

maybe you know what to flash?

What do you mean with "Yes i can use nvflash"? You already used the NvFlash tool and have the backup files or is just the fact that you are able to boot in APX mode?
As for the other question, yes rename the blob files ( blob.LNX - > boot.img) and flash from fastboot (fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash boot boot.img). Make sure your battery is full, just in case.
Try to flash the recovery.img, boot.img and system.img using the abive method.

Being able to boot in APX doesn't mean you can use NvFlash to flash your device.If you never used the NvFlash tool to backup your files (and gain NvFlash access) you won't be able to do it anymore because a 9.4.5.26 or lower bootloader it's needed.
I'm not sure if the follow procedure will work but you could try to flash the complete blob via fastboot (rename the original asus blob to something like " tf700t.blob " , something like this : fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging tf700t.blob
Someone please correct me if the " flashing to staging" procedure is different.

ATM there's no way to do that ,Asus locked the bootloader pretty tight this time.
If you still can't manage to fix your issue i would recommend you an RMA ticket from Asus.

[Q] Softbricked Tf300t

Hi I have been reading a ton in the forums trying to figure out how to fix my tf300t. A few days ago I updated to the newest CM 10.1 nightly and when it restarted it was stuck at the Asus screen. So I have been able to hold vol down button and get to a screen that says
RCK Android [usb symbol] and Wipe Data
I have fastboot access and thought I would try to fix the problem myself by following instructions on another thread
"pyovue - If you have ADB access then unbricking it should be easy as you can push and edit any file on the system with it as well as fastboot? Or can ADB & Fastboot not mount (not just the sdcard) anything? If you don't care what happens to your tablet MB, then try this....
fastboot -i 0x0b05 erase system
fastboot -i 0x0b05 erase recovery
Then reboot (this should rid you of your bootloop to recovery and nothing should start)
Then download the stock ASUS Rom (from ASUS, look under Firmware)
Then try sending it with fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash system blob (you will have to extract two zips from the firmware files until you get to a file called "blob" then put it in your fastboot)
I almost guarantee if you have fastboot/adb working there is ALWAYS a way to fix it... only a hardbrick is impossible to fix.
"
I get cannot load 'blob' so I tried
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img
seeing as I already had the recovery.img from when I first unlocked, rooted, and put cm 10.1 on it
please help I have no idea what to do and thank you in advance <3

What's the question again? If you have fastboot, you can always flash the system blob from your PC. Or you can push the rom (zip) to your internal storage, turn it off and on again. If you select rck on official recovery, it should look for the zip file on its own and proceed to flash it. If you have custom recovery, get to it and flash the same zip file. Make sure you have the right recovery for the rom though. Good luck.

Honestly i don't think it's something new and still require working fastboot (which is impossible if your bootloader is broken) for the recover.
Also i'm a bit confused how they manage to flash the whole blob with " fastboot - i 0x0B05 flash system blob" when afaik the correct command should be : fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob. (maybe _that could enlight me )
Usually the " system.img" is packed in the full Asus blob and you need to extract it first and then use the " fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system system.img" command or you can repack the system.img into blob (with blobpack tool) and flash with " fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob" .

I´m confused to, but as several people testify that it was a solution to make use of their expensive doorstoppers it must be of some value
I dont think the bootloader was totaly corrupt as they could enter fastboot but that after they reset with the paperclip method.... i don´t know if that change anything...
_That maybe can bring some light in this ?

I don't know, the Asus (NVidia?) fastboot implementation is a bit strange. Maybe it ignores the partition name given on the command line completely and always uses the one in the blob. At least the guys at androidroot.mobi said that it only flashes blobs, not raw partition images.

Does that really work on a locked device? Repacking or extracting the blob invalidates the cryptographic signature.

Nah, fastboot on locked device is pretty useless, it looks like it's working but every command sent doesn't do anything.
On unlocked device it worked in the past but i can't tell if if still working cause i didn't tried that in a long time.

[Q] Recovery not happening on RCK button

Problem: The TF700 is reboot cycling without ever getting further than the initial ASUS logo. The recovery is not getting installed from SDCARD. I tried with US_epad-user-10.6.1.14.10.zip and WW_epad-user-10.6.1.14.10.zip (I don't know the SKU), renamed to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip on the root of an 8GB SDCARD formatted with vfat.
History: I live in Germany and got a FT700 from a friend that bought it in the USA. He had power issues but thought it is a software problem and it seems he somehow bricked it. If I can repair it, I can keep it
I was able to build a power charger (yes, 15V over a USB cable...) from an old notebook charger and could successfully charge the tablet and the keyboard.
Messages: Pressing Power-Vol when booting ->
Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "US_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801-20130801" A03
Key driver not found.. Booting OS
Starting Fastboot USB download protocol
Then three buttons appear in the screens center: RCK, android, WIPE DATA. I can move with Volume around and select. When I select RCK it writes:
Booting Recovery kernel image
Signature Match. (with both SKU versions)
The RCK button stops to flash, but no android bot or a progress bar ever appears
I can use fastboot over USB from Linux. I can run everything described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2538028 except it will not install a custom boot loader - because it's locked :crying:

Have you tried to select "wipe data" and see if Android boots then?
wait... have you run any commands like "fastboot erase recovery" before? if yes, the above might hard brick your tablet.
If that doesn't work, the next idea would be to try to install a full firmware via fastboot.

Where did you get the boot.blob? In the original Asus firmware zip, there is only a blob file. Even if you unpack the blob file, these are the dot files after unpacking the blob: .APP, .EBT, .LNX, .PT, .SOS. Are you sure that you have the right blob file for the stock ROM?
_that is very a knowledgeable person. If he said that he is out of idea, your chances are very low...
Good luck....:fingers-crossed:

The last part of the fastboot flash command has to match whatever the file you want to flash is named.
If the extracted system blob is named "blob" without an extension, the command would be 'fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob'
If it is named blob.blob the command would be 'fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob.blob'
etc.
Is the blob file you extracted actually named boot.blob?
You can also try 'fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob' followed by a reboot.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong please....

You could grab _that's kernel blob or hund's kernel boot.blob and try it out.... In the installer script, They extracted them into the staging partition for the next boot any way...

That looks good so far. I never understood what the fastboot implementation on the TF700 did with the target partition you specify on the command line anyway ("staging" is not even in the list returned by fastboot getvar) - since the blob contains one or more partition images with a header that says which image is for which partition. For OTA updates or when flashing the firmware from the recovery, the blob is written to the staging partition, and at the next reboot the bootloader writes the images to the final target partitions (with the blue progress bar).

You already did with the fastboot command above so you don't need to dd the blob to your staging partition... I guessed that both commands serving the same purpose...

Unfortunately not. I assume that the recovery and android kernels are now properly installed since the flashing went normally, but I have no idea why they fail to boot.

Actually, I had the same issue that it was not booting and only stuck at the Asus booting logo. I believed that two things may cause this issue.. One is the system is somehow not mounting. Two is the data partition is corrupted. For this case, it is more likely the data partition is corrupted. Maybe, he/she can try to use fastboot to erase the data partition and reinstall the Asus stock blob to see if it boots....:fingers-crossed:
Is there a way to format the data partition with fastboot or ADB?

Reinstalling the blob should not be necessary since it was already flashed successfully.
Wiping data should work with something like "fastboot format data".
Ok - that sounds like there might still be a way. I will try to format the data partition this evening and report.

bootloader error 0x00000000

Well, what happened is :
that i was trying to root my Transformer tf300t
and i got as far as unlocking the bootloader
so i was having trouble flashing the twrp recovery image
and i think i accidentally erased the stock recovery image

Please try this:
Go to Asus and dl the latest Stock. Unzipp it 2 times. You should have a blob file now in the extracted folder. Put this blob in your fastboot folder.
Open cmd and type:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob
Let it run. It seems that nothing is happening for about 5 Minutes. The whole thing can take up to 20 Minutes, so just stay calm and wait till it’s finished.
Now you should be back to full Stock with Stock recovery. Good luck!
THanks !

Thank you ... it worked i think
but i used a little different command line i used :
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system c:\adb\recovery.blob
now i'm still having problems trying to flash custom recovery i want to root the Tablet
what the problem seems to be for me is that i boot the the tablet (tf330t transformer 4.2.1 JB )
to fastboot mode then i get the 3 choices (RCK, Android,Wipe Data)
but when i try to flash the TWRP recovery img with Fastboot it always gives me an error saying (error cannot load img file)
is there anyway to fix this ? and does this root the tablet?
Dear daveSAPIEN can you give us more information about the file used during the flash , actually am facing the same problem as you but nothing seems to work
thank you
