[Q] tf101 problems - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a B50 tf101 running raymans cm10 v6. Everything was going fine until i went to use it today. It started out saying I was running out of memory space, so i did a factory reset. After doing that, everytime i try to reboot, it goes straight to cwm recovery. I tried reflashing the rom, but now in cwm it only reads my internal sd card in which everything is still there, but now it wont read my ext-sdcard where i have my backups and roms. i tried using one of the restore tools, easyflasher and brk_rootkit, but everytime i go to restore and it tells me to go into APX mode which i do, it says it cant load the bootloader. I can get the rom to boot if i hard restart the tablet and let linux cold boot itself, but if i go to restart it, it goes straight back to cwm every time. i tried loading twrp on it from goo manager but that didnt work. i'm stuck now with a half working tablet that i cant get back to factory form. someone please help!

Use easy flash and push twrp recovery.

I've already tried that, it doesn't work. It says it does, but everytime I go to recovery, it boots into CWM.

I've been so frustrated with this tablet lately i'm ready to get the Nexus 7 so i don't have these stupid issues, be as easy as modding my Galaxy Nexus.

TF101 B80 stuck on ASUS boot screen

My tablet recently froze when i was not able to turn off my wifi in the settings of my Revolution 3.1 ROM. I have tried to boot up since this and now it is stuck on the ASUS boot screen with the circle.
I am able to boot to cwm 3.2.0.1 and wipe data/flash the rom again, but no matter what I do, it is stuck on the same screen.
I recently tried doing a cold boot and a factory reset/wipe data in the recovery menu, but when i choose to wipe data, after it loads the recovery kernal image, all i get is the android triangle.
What else can I try?
I have the same problem with my TF101. Are you able to find a solution to your problem.

Maybe a problem in kernel or /system partition, try to flash the ROM again may fix the problem.
Same......

I have the same problem.....
I rooted, installed Rom Manager to get CWM Recovery installed and then flashed the new CyanogenMod 10 - B1 ♦ K.A.T. As soon as I restarted, after it appeared that the flash went fine, it hung at the boot screen - not frozen just wont go any further.
I tried rebooting by holding the power button, I tried re-flashing both the CY 10 and the original Rom and tried "restoring" my backed up rom.
I have tried recovering through Easy Flasher but I don't think my PC is seeing the transformer properly.
I have ADB drivers installed but because the TF dose not boot properly it dose not seem to get there.
I have let the battery drain as some report a resolve when they get it to power down all the way but as soon as I plug it in and power it up it goes back to the boot screen and stays there.
Please help as I cant afford to lose this pad (yes I knew the risks).

Same issue, I can't get my computer to recognize the tablet to push any files to it, and I can't mount it from TWRP. What can I do?
Have you guys tried wiping out before flashing? Wipe out the cache,system, and all other partitions.

[Q] Help i think i bricked my system

So i got a new T F 300T yesterday and wanted to root it today.
I unlocked it and rooted it successfully. But then I tried installing a recovery. Installed CWM using fastboot. tried booting into it using RCK. It says booting into recovery mode and just reboots to OS. Installed CMW touch, same problem. Installed TRWP since i read that cmw has some problems.Now i used the 1 click root 1.1 to boot into recovery mode. The device now keeps rebooting. IT starts on the asus screen, then reboots again. So im stuck in a boot loop. When I press vlm dwn +power, it doesnt give me a menu anymore , instead it says that its rebooting into recovery mode and reboots again. Im freaking out right now, anyway to recover my device? Or is it 400 bucks down the dran? I dunno why this happened , since i am not new to flashing ROMs and stuff, and ususally test out new ROMs using my GNex. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi there, sucks to hear what happened..
I believe you haven't put in enough research, ASUS has a publicly available unlocker for the 300T, why did you use a 3rd party root app?
Can you still boot Android? If you have root and your recovery partition is broken, there should still be a way to overwrite the recovery partition.
If not, this basically looks like a brick, unless you can hook up a debugger during the boot process somehow.
Someone with in-depth knowledge of this device might be able to help you out further, I'm just theorycrafting here.. Best of luck!
I would try using fastboot to reflash stock firmware, which you can download from the Asus website.
You could also try getting into APX mode and using nvflash to reflash it.

[Q] Cant wipe transformer tf101

I was using my transformer for about 6 months and decided to take it to the next level and root it. so all went well and i got it rooted and then decided to add a custom rom. Now keep in mind I am a major NOOB. So i install rom manager from the play store and follow a video guide to put a jellybean rom on it. So i follow it and i crewed up somewhere. but now it just gets stuck at the boot logo. when i try to go into clockword mod recovery it works but fails to mount anything. When i try to wipe it just gets stuck and stays that way intil its have to force it to power off (trust me it not gonna do anything at the wipe screen i left it trying for an hour and nothing happened). So now im stuck with this broken transformer thats not able to do anything
ROM Manager does NOT work for the TF101.
Use EasyFlasher to flash CWM or TWRP using APX mode.

Stuck in startup animation loop

I unlocked and rooted my tablet yesterday and everything appeared to be working fine. After using it for a couple hours and restarting it a few times it stopped working and is now locked in a boot loop. When I try boot the tablet it comes on and gets to the animation where the glint of light goes across the Asus logo but it does not finish and instead it stops there and I get the moving circles at the bottom. I've left it running there for several hours and it just hangs.
I've tried erasing the data and booting to linux but the same thing happens when I try either of those.
I've also tried flashing a number of different ROMs, but all that happens is it starts installing and then I get the Android guy on his side error screen.
I hadn't done anything to the ROM and was still running 10.6.1.14.4. I even downloaded that same ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266519 but I get the same error message when I try flash that ROM.
I would really, REALLY appreciate any ideas at all - and thanks in advance for any suggestions.

this gonna sound odd but i had exact same prob when i rooted and flashed chromix rom. it went. what i did was flash it once with the rom with secure wipe, then i flashed again. and it got stuck at optimizing apps,then i tried reflashing couldnt get it to boot, what i ended up doing was using clockwork mod to factory reset my tablet, then had to restart, and reflash, this time it actually got to main screen. dont let it discharge/reboot for awhile as im bout to post a issue im having with it. but thats what i did to make it work for me.

I'm not sure I understand --- how do I get to the clockwork mod if i can't get past the startup animation? And I've tried a bunch of roms with secure wipe and i get an error from every one of them.
didnt you install clockwork mod first?

the thing i found showed me to installed the clockwork mod first before i did any flashing, i rooted device then i flashed once clockwork mod was installed, i had to root, then install rom manager and goo manager, from within there i installed the clockwork recovery script/mod then i proceeded to flash chromi-X DEODEX.
Did you flash the correct bootloader? I had the same problem, look for my posts in the last few pages of ChromiX.

Seems to me you installed Asus factory stock rom JB 4.2.1 (10.6.1.14.4), which means you have the latest bootloader, then you unlocked and rooted your device, however, you never installed any custom recovery like TWRP or CWM (clockmod). Now your device is boot looping. You need to boot into stock recovery by turn off your device, hold volume down and power button until you see white text on the screen, now release both buttons, you should see 3 icons (RCK, Android and wipe data). NOW you are in fastboot mode. Let me know at least you can get that far, before we continue....

buhohitr -- You're exactly right. I can boot into stock recovery. When I select Android or wipe data it goes back to the animation screen and hangs up. When I select RCK it goes to the Android guy and says installing update but then it show him fallen over and the word Error. I've tried RCK with a memory card that has a number of different ROMs on it but the same thing keeps happening.

Give this a try, the factory Asus firmware zip file that you downloaded, unzip the file, you should see another zip file, rename this new zip file to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip" (without quotation), then copy it to the root of your sdcard then boot into stock recovery and execute the RCK again. Make sure you don't have any other zips laying around in the root of your sdcard.
You are truly a god among men.

THIS WORKED!!! Thanks so much. I was really worried I had bricked it.
So now one last question --- WHY did that work? Is there somewhere I could go to read up on this kind of stuff? I've tried surfing the XDA forum but there's a lot of stuff like this where someone gets there problem solved, but not much explaining why something worked so I can learn more about it.

Somehow the stock recovery was reinstalled on your tablet, thus letting this method work. It however does not on CWM or TWRP. All you did was manually reinstall a stock rom back onto your tablet. How it got the stock recovery is beyond me unless you flashed a stock ROM from CWM and didnt realize what you were installing.

Since the JB 4.2.1 upgrade, this is the most reliable method to install Asus full stock firmware. Also, since you're unlocked, let root the device by go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230763 download the tool and root it. Once rooted, I suggest that you should install TWRP custom recovery, by download Goomanager from the market, open the app and tab on the 3 little boxes on the top right hand corner, select "install recovery scripts" , this will shutdown your device and install custom TWRP recovery script, once this installed, you can download "rebooter" from the market and this app has many options, one of them is allowed you easily boot into custom recovery.

[Q] Spinning CM Logo after flashing, CWM has disappeared

Rooted my GT-P3113 Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 tablet this evening. Tried to install CMW Recovery manually a couple times but I could not boot into CWM, so I used ROM Manager to install CWM. Booted into CWM to back up the device. After backing up started getting errors that the device storage was full. Cleared space, downloaded the CM10.1 RC2 for the tablet, and booted into CWM to install. Next thing I know the tablet boots into the spinning CM logo and it just wants to stay there. If I try to turn off the tablet, it just restarts back to the spinning logo. If I boot to recovery I am sent to the Odin Mode screen, CWM dows not load. It is like it has been wiped out. Try using Odin to reinstall CWM, and Odin cannot talk to the tablet.
I've been reading lots of forums on this and other sites, not getting any ideas I can wrap this brain around.
I appreciate your help.
