i was trying to do a factory reset on my TF700, and it was rooted.. but it froze during the reset, now when i try to turn it on it says "device is unlocked" and shows the asus and tegra logos, but stays there, if i hold volume down when i hole the power button it says "booting recovery kernel image" and freezes... i have no selection that i can select between here.... and lastly if i hold volume up, im able to detect APX through my computer and have the proper driver installed, but i dont know where to go here
so is it bricked? what do i do now?

Can your pc see it through fastboot mode? connect your pc to your device, then hold down volume down and power button, when see white text let go both buttons, hit volume down to switch to the USB icon, then hit volume up button twice. On your computer, open command prompt (cmd) go to the directory where fastboot.exe is installed and type :
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
hit enter, is your computer reboot??

Then not much you can do but to send out for repair, you could try to keep it off for awhile and try again, hopefully it can boot into recovery, but very slim at this point.
Just for the hell of it, hit the reset button too, maybe magic will come!

I your case I think they just need to reflash the bootloader should cost around $100. If mainboard or screen range from 250-350 (shipping, parts and labor). Can you just exchange from where you purchased?

that sounds absolutely rediculous for a bootloader error, and unable to ever be unlocked again?.. thats insane that they would do that, but i heard about it before.. this all happened because of a faulty backup image to begin with, that froze my damn tablet while reverting to factory settings... makes me so angry that this is their policy....

If you don't have nvflash backup(for use with APX mode), and you can't get to recovery. You pretty much done.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda premium
nvflash backup had to have been installed on the tablet prior to this happening?.. or do i use nvflash to install a backup, and if so, couldnt i get a vanilla backup image somewhere?

Well obviousely you don't have nvflash backup. You only can make a backup of nvflash if you have build version .26, once you updated, there is NO WAY you can make nvflash backup. The problem is there is no way we can communicate with your device to dump any image since the recovery is gone (corrupted). You need this recovery so you can push or load file/image etc.. from your sdcard or from your PC. All you can do now is keep playing with it and hope for miracle for some how you can get back in recovery mode.
well this is exactly what comes up when i hold power and volume down... im not sure if this means much to anyone
also, it speaks of checking for an android ota recovery, however it cannot find one... where is an ota recovery image located? im assuming somewhere over the internet?... or is it on a removable SD card?
the device is unlocked.

It does not give me the Up to recovery, Down to wipe option.
Any thoughts on how I might recover the device?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Ohh **** that dont sound good
Sorry i cant help with any advice on fixing it, apart from trying a factory reset ?
Did you apply the update with under 50% of the battery available ?
No, full. And connected to the mains.
I cant get any option to do a full wipe, it never asks me.

There are some things you can try in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032374
Here a few key combinations for anyone interested:
VOL_DOWN + POWER (continue holding VOL_DOWN when it starts booting until you get a prompt) = Bootloader which offers two prompted options: (1) Recovery if you press VOL_UP within 5 seconds or (2) Data wipe if you press VOL_UP later. None of these seem to offer any USB devices like fastboot etc.
VOL_UP + POWER or VOL_DOWN + VOL_UP + PLUG IN USB = NVFlash mode. It clearly is the NVFlash APX device that we see appearing, but it barfs as soon as we run any sort of nvflash on it (Many Windows and Linux versions have been tried). Please note that in this mode the screen stays completely blank and the only way to get out of it is the following option:
Hold POWER for ~10s = Forced power off. This always helps if you are stuck in some weird mode and nothing on the screen
Dont know if any of these key presses will work on yours, worth a try to get it to recover ?
Yeah I had seen that thread. Unfortunately no joy from either option. I dont get the prompt when I do VOL DOWN+POWER, just seems to go straight into recovery. And as the post says, NVflash doesn't help at the moment.
Can't even seem to get the ADB USB devices to show up, I can only get the APX device which seems to be fairly useless ATM. Looks like I may have to RMA the thing.
What is that small hole next to HDMI port? Did you try that, it may just be button (use paper pin) to reset it to factory default?
Or maybe microphone ? lol i personnaly don't think those tablets would actually have a reset button, would check the manual first before sticking a paper pin into every holes...
My Transformer just came in, I accepted the OTA update and while installing it saw this thread and had a dreadful feeling. Thankfully, it rebooted fine and is working... sounds like something's wrong with yours unfortunately OP .
If you haven't tried the 10 second power button method as mentioned in an earlier post it's definitely worth a try.
stuntdouble:
I thought the 10 sec power button thing just turned the device off. Is there something else I can do that I am missing?
I think it clears cache and/or ram too. I'm not saying it will definitely fix your problem, it may not, but if it was me I'd try everything. It won't damage anything so don't worry.
Have you tried getting into the Clockwork mod recovery? You need to place it on an external microsd and when you do the holding down when switching on thing, it goes into the recovery on the card instead of the stock one. It might allow you to flash a rom to get it running again.
You can find the Clockwork recovery with instructions here
http://android.modaco.com/content/a...od-recovery-for-the-asus-eee-pad-transformer/
Good idea, unfortunately it didnt work. It doesnt appear to be allowing me to get to the point where it will read EP101_SDUPDATE.zip from the SD.
You sure filename is EP101? Shouldnt it be TF?
All the instructions call for EP101, but I tried TF too just in case!

It's a microphone. If you go poking a paperclip in there, good luck claiming under warranty.
Same thing just happened to me... reboot for update, stuck at boot screen.
Not sure if we can find a EP101_SDUPDATE.zip for higher than 20110414 if that'd be a fix or what... or even a PC restore process.

I was running an unlocked tf300 with cleanrom. I wanted to update to the newest version of cleanrom and have my tablet on that and ready for school for next term. I downloaded cleanrom on laptop and put it on my micro sd. Went and grabbed the tablet and tried using rom manager to install from sd and backup the os that was on it. Didn't work. So booted into the fastboot spot (vol down and power) and decided i should wipe data since i was there. Went over to that and pushed vol up (once). Let it sit for like 45 minutes and was still on the same screen. Thought to myself well it must be done. Shut off the tablet to restart it.
This is where the problem came up. Now i'm stuck on asus logo. The VD+P doesn't do anything but reboot into the asus logo. The VU+P will put it into a black screen and windows sees it as Asus transformer Prime APX interface. But adb can't see the device. Just device manager. typing fastboot -i 0x0b05 thing just says <waiting for device>
Every post i've read seems to tell people to just push VD+P but if i could do that and get to recovery i wouldn't be doing this. I can't put a blob file into the root sd of the tablet because I can't see the tablet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Maybe this link can help.

Device manager already sees it as transformer prime apx thing though. So i assume by getting it into APX mode doing the VU+P method it is in apx? or is that not mean it's actually in apx?

Apx mode is not going to do you any good. The previous link also provides info on blootloader " recovery " mode.
Try the universal naked drivers from this link and try fastboot again.

If that does not work leave off ' -i 0x0b05 ' in fastboot -i 0x0b05 command and try again.

I know you previously said you couldn't get into recovery-bootloader menu but that is what we have to accomplish. Apx mode on this unit is only good if you previously installed nvflash and had all of the proper backup files.
The first link I provided provides 9 ways to get into bootloader menu and from there either fastboot mode (usb symbol) or recovery (RCK). I know some may not work but we only need one.

apx or bootloader menu-recovery.
To use this guide to enter the bootloader menu just use volume down everywhere it says volume up. Everything else is the same.
4. with unit powered on hold volume down and press reset with paperclip - (don't press hard) reset is located about 25mm or 1in below the sdcard
try this one.

Force power off by holding power a few seconds.
Plug power cord into tab with the other end of the power cord not plugged into anything. Hold volume down and plug other end of power cord into pc. This done without pressing power again after it is powered off. Easier to do than describe.

I'm sorry, I did understand that from the beginning but the only things that can save you is get into that menu or recovery or your tab accepts a fastboot or adb command. That is the reason you keep getting pushed into that direction.
My best guesses are out. Sometimes redoing something you have already done twice works.
My experience and all I have read rom manager has issues on this tab. Also many who wiped data from the bootloader- recovery menu reach this same point when they reboot.
Some have recovered by just doing each thing again and again and suddenly something works.
Yeah i fear i'm just going to have to call ASUS . sad panda. i keep trying different methods of doing the VD+P method but it just won't get into recovery.

If you explain you were having issues with your tab and used wipe data hoping to correct the problem. Now when you turn on it just stays on the asus logo maybe they will repair it without cost.
If you go into detail you probably won't get lucky.
Hi guys, new on the forums.
I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello
Also, I just bought a TF700 for a killer price and he told me that someone (either him or someone else) tried to root the tablet and messed up. I've been told by the guy I've bought it from that it just stays at the Asus bootup logo.
Based on my reading from around the xda-dev board, the first thing I should check is see if Fastboot is installed/enabled. If so I should be in good shape and be able to restore the tablet, correct?
Overall I'm jumping into working with this tablet not knowing its condition so I'd like to know what my procedure should be to a) determine the problem and b) fix it.
Thanks guys!

I followed the procedure per your instrux. Still same result of "This device is unlocked" message in upper left corner. Pushed Vol up 2x, nothing. The device resets every 2 minutes or so.
That being said, I am able to boot into APX mode, however the drivers I found don't seem to be compatible with the device.
I think an issue may be that because of the fact that I'm stuck in this infinite boot loop the device never really turns off and therefore I can't get it into recovery. I think what I'm going to do is let it drain the battery and then charge it back up and try to get it into recovery mode off of a fresh power up.

Sounds like it is hard bricked to me - no fast boot and no recovery. Only known way to fix is either presaved nvflash blob files (which I doubt you have from the info above) or send it back to Asus to replace motherboard.

If you mean powering on and off (bootloop) then hold volume down and if lucky after two or three times of powering on you may get the bootloader menu.
If you mean the screen just flashes then try the reset while holding volume down.
reset: small hole about 25mm or 1inch below the sdcard slot. Use a small paperclip. Press in gently and it will stop. Press slightly harder and you will feel a spring collapse, release.
Good Luck!
If the first method fails you can try the reset even in a bootloop.
and a reset while holding volume down can put you into the bootloader.

I'm sorry I have no more because of the situation of your tablet.
Maybe someone else will find this and help.
Can you get to fastboot? I.e can you power on with power + dwn and get it to stabilize (not reboot) at the fastboot screen?
If you can get there, then maybe you can reflash your recovery (make sure you use the right one), and then from there, either install a new ROM or restore from a backup?
no luck with the fastboot at all I think there is no hope for this tablet I have tryed everything I can think of. :crying:

without resorting to sending the tablet to Asus, is replacing the motherboard. I found one on ebay for around $100. Cheaper than sending it to Asus...
That would be nice if asus would make a software that would work on the new update something like Nflash I hate to think everyone that bricked the tf300t needs to buy a new motherboard to fix it. I know there is a work around out there that can do it but trying to find it is another story lol. But im giving up for now and hopeing someone comes up with something
I went out partying last night, woke up to a crack on my nexus 5 and wouldnt turn on but the led would flash red. I figured it lost its charge. Charge the phone for few hours, phone would turn on and off right away as if it still were not charged. It would than shut off but restart to a screen that said Firmware Update- Please wait while it installs- B100. Nothing would install, it would stay at 0%. So I held the power button and now, it only turns on to the google sign and keeps looping from there. I tried to turn it on in recovery mode but that doesnt work either. My phone was never rooted, bootloader never unlocked and I never put it in debugging. I dont know what to do!
so the ol' 3-button combo doesn't get you to the bootloader?
Yes, it does. Forgot to mention that.

I don't know what you did, but your phone is not bricked. Hope you have a recent backup. If you can get into the bootloader I'd try a factory reset in recovery. If that doesn't work then you're going to have to unlock the bootloader and try to flash the factory image. None of this may work as idk what you did to your phone, but this is what I'd do.
Is flashing a factory image/unlocking bootloader possible even tho I can't get into the settings menu to turn on debugging option?

Yes, adb and fastboot are not related.

Are there any guides you all might suggest that are easy to understand?
Ask your friends what happened last night. Sounds like a good party

-Underpowered battery for a 5inch 1080p screen that is non-removable. Weak generic antenna that drops signal. Worst speaker of any device on the market. Cheap plastic build

Alright, here. The catch-all solution: flash the factory image as in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2513701.
Just remember to cd to your adb directory, I made that mistake and almost fainted because I thought my device was totally broken when fastboot devices listed nothing.

It's his sig. Just ignore him.
I was able to flash everything and it seemed successful. But, I can only get as far as GOOGLE and than it keeps rebooting.

If that's the case it sounds like you may have knocked something loose internally when whatever happened that caused the damage to your screen. Possibly a solder point or a cable coming loose.
Opened up the back cover, looks like condensation.....ill leave it alone for a few days and try again.
Reset

Did u do another factory reset after last flash as this may need doing on some phones from what I've watched on good old YouTube...Good luck..
^Why would he factory reset when the phone is wet? You'll short circuit it that way..
The only method of a factory reset I've read about was turning on in Recovery, waiting for the little android, and holding Vol + and Power. Thing is my phone would never get to the little android, just loop on the GOOGLE introduction. Is there another method to factory reset?

Turn your phone off. Then hold power + vol down. It should boot into the boot loader. You'll see a "start" Then use the vol rocker to toggle to recovery. Once there push the power button. You should be in recovery. Then use the vol rocker to toggle to factory reset. Then use power to select it.

Thats the method I'm unable to use...I was hoping there might be a string of code I could type into a command prompt being that I can only turn on the phone into the boot loader.

Try
fastboot reboot recovery
Edit, sorry that's not going to work. Find the stock recovery image. Then try
fastboot boot recovery.img
So I was able to boot in recovery and factory reset, although the problem still persists. I will try and flash all images tomorrow. Thanks for all the help! Happy holidays!
