Your first mistake was to try to use Rom Manager with this tablet. There is info in various threads warning not to use it.
I'm not certain that you are bricked, but I'm also not exactly sure what you should do, other than keep trying to get to fastboot mode, so you can reflash the stock image.
Good luck!

yeh now i know, thought i read all the thread, but guess i was wrong on that part. mane thanks for the lil info
If you cannot get into any recovery your only hope is fastboot. I experimented a bit for the last few days with the new AOSP ROMs and got into some challenges myself. I managed to solve it by installing the stock .26 frmware with TWRP and subsequently reinstalling Zeus ROM, *but* fastboot was uncooperative when I tried pushing over a new recovery image.
Try to get into fastboot and push over the recovery.img that's posted by dasunsrule in the new thread on ClockworkMod Recovery -- dual benefits: you seem to prefer CWM anyway, and it might flash with fastboot. ; ) If you've gottn your feet wet with that for abit, report back in here. don;t think you're unreccoverably bricked, but fastboot is a minimum requirement until we get our mitts on an NvFlash that's working... Good luck!
EDIT: you might want to look here for the fastboot commands you need, and for other info as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1833212

What does it do when you power on while presing VOL-DOWN and let go? I mean, don't press VOL-UP to boot into the recovery module. Then you should be presented with the option to switch USB fastboot on...

Don't let it attempt to boot into recovery. Once it brings up that list, hit VOL-UP within the 5 seconds to get the option to start fastboot.
Hi there so, I received my ASUS Transformer Infinity yesterday and I managed to root and unlock successfully. However, after downloading ROM Manager I stupidly clicked flash CWRM it did it's thing and I thought, well, it was successful so let's try and boot into it to flash a custom ROM I had downloaded. From ROM Manager no dice, tried getting into recovery manually and it worked. However, it was clearly stock recovery. New to Android slates I clicked the volume buttons a couple times to try and see how to move the cursor... this of course wiped my device. At this point, I was pretty sure I was done for, after this completed I rebooted again and low and behold cannot get into the device on normal boot. Tried rebooting, nothing. Tried the keyboard dock, same deal. Stuck on ASUS screen and I never get the spinning wheel. Tried to get back in recovery and I get stuck at loading recovery kernel image. BRICK. The only thing I can do is get into APX recovery but as I understand there is no use for this mode yet on the TF700? Please help! My last option is to RMA to Newegg, if I do this what should I say? I feel being honest is the only way to grantee a repair. How much would this cost out of warranty?

Are you able to get into fastboot? If you press and hold power and volume down until you get the option to press volume up to boot to recovery, but don't press voume up, then you will boot into the bootloader screen, with fastboot as an option.
At this site you will find the correct twrp (choose Download - Recovery Image / Fastboot Method) and instructions to flash:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/105
Instructions for fastboot and adb you'll find by searching around.
Hope that helps!

I wish I could... The message I receive is as follows when I do that:
The Device is UnLocked.
Android cardhu-user bootloader <2.10 e> released by "US_epad-9.4.5.26-20120720" A03
Booting recovery kernel image
And nothing ever shows up. Just the ASUS logo.
Did you solve your problem? I'm having the same issue and tried to install custom ROMs without solving the problem
reboot the device! (power and vol down for 5 sec)
hold vol down at the ASUS screen, but don't go to recovery, just wait until you see a 3 different logos on your screen.
An Android, a Wipe and a USB Icon
go between theese logos with vol down choose USB Icon with vol up!
Now you are in Fastboot mode and with your PC you can flash another recovery image.
But by the way!

Hey, we were all new to Android at some point! That's how you learn though, by doing this sort of stuff. Nothing wrong wth trying! Just need to be careful and read alot. But, you have to start somewhere!
I'm sure that he was reading all of the "Jelly Bean ROM's are so awesome" posts and wanted to see for himself, that's all....

I never said I was new to Android. I was new to the ASUS stock tablet recovery orientation (its landscape as I found out). Hence, hit up twice, wiped data. I am by no means new in general. I did not fix the problem. I requested an RMA with Newegg and it was approved I said the issue with it was bad screen bleeding (no lie but it is normal for this tablet but bad was exaggerated) In any case! RMA approved should be getting my new unit Tuesday!
unlocked and RMA because of your own stupidity?
ok do it..

If you had my OP in its entirety, you would know that is impossible. :/ Unfortunately, after the data + cache wipe two things happened that I do not understand. 1. The device wouldn't boot (this shouldn't happen unless all partitions were formatted which the device did NOT report it did), 2. This is the really strange part, recovery no longer existed after JUST WORKING - even after my mistake with ROM manager stock recovery remained until the wipe and then I received the message mentioned in my OP (namely: Booting recovery kernel).

One more who used ROM manager recently and now I have a nice tray for serving beers :crying:
I'm having the same issue with APX available by powering on the transformer holding volume+up but with no nvflash backup.
I don't understand why people keep using ROM manager to install recovery, this is a death wish to your device. If they read all the "How to" posts, none of them instructed to use rom manager to install recovery, so I don't know where they got this idea from???? beat me!!!
GRIM1337, you need RMA to send out for repair. Sorry but there's no hope to recovery this.
Didn't use ROM Manager
Updated to JB (from rooted ICS), then tried to unlock and flash recovery: Bootloader is still locked, recovery and system partitions are simply gone!
All I can access is fastboot now, but as bootloader is locked, I cannot flash any custom image/blob or whatsoever.
Can someone generous post their stock recovery or help me flash the JB update ZIP again?
I extracted the blob, but I'm not sure how to flash it? I suppose it contains all the partitions I would need to flash! But how to flash them?
I tried this:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging blob
Fails after having downloaded the 800Mb blob, the exact same way it fails flashing a custom kernel!?

OKAY [145.978s]

Well that one's hard: With ICS bootloader, there was like no fastboot mode!!! On the bootloader menu I could only confirm recovery or cancel to boot as usual!!! WTF? But then once with JB bootloader, the menu allowed me to select a different option: a new one had appeared showing a USB logo too! Can't tell if I simply missed the option or proper steps in ICS bootloader though.

ICS bootloader had the fastboot option disabled if the device's bootloader was still locked and the USB icon wasn't showing at all.
With the JB bootloader Asus made the USB icon available even if the device was locked so you can access fastboot mode but you can't flash anything (yes,it doesn't make sense, but this is Asus).
Anyway, if you are able to boot in recovery you should be able to restore you device easily,just follow my guide from the general forum.
Re: Help needed i will try
OK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE IS WIPED THE OS FROM THE UNIT...AND LEFT THE BOOTLOADER FILES...SO THERE ISNT
ANYTHING TO BOOT TO AT THE MOMENT... I DID THIS LAST WEEK... IT WAS A BIT SCARY AND FRUSTRATING UNTIL
I FIGURED OUT HOW TO FIX IT.. ITS NOT HARD. ILL PUT DOWN HERE WHAT I DID...
1. DOWNLOAD THE GOOGLE NEXUS 7 TOOL KIT... ( this is a very good rescue tool )
2. RUN IT... INSTALL THE DRIVERS... REBOOT IT ALL AND START THE TOOL KIT AGIAN WITH YOUR TRANSFORMER
CONNECTED TO USB...
3. YOU SHOULD SEE THE SERIAL NUMBER OF YOUR TABLET AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE IN THE TOOLKIT...
IF SO..YOUR ALMOST DONE !
4. THERE ARE MANY CHOICES..SOME WORK SOME DONT ON THE TRANSFORMER...
5. I CHOOSE THE ROOT OPTION...
6. NOW..WHEN IT GETS TO THE PART WHERE IT SAYS ARE U IN FASTBOOT MODE.. SAY NO !!! THAT WILL ACTUALLY
PUT IT IN FASTBOOT AND THEN PROCEED AS DIRECTED ON THE SCREEN TO ROOT...
THATS WHAT I DID...CAUSE I NEEDED ROOT AND I HAD A STUCK BOOT LOOP JUST LIKE YOU.....
BASICALLY YOU NEED TO ROOT IT AGIAN AN THEN REBOOT AND TRY TO GET INTO CWM..OR HAVE IT REINSTALL CWM...TO FLASH A ROM...THAT WORKS..
Hi All,
i have unlocked bootloader, Rooted ICS
now i installed the latest JB update via the SD card method (renaming it to E201_768_SDUPDATE).
did the power+vol down method. intstalled it and reboot.
now all i get is this message coming up.
"The Device is UnLocked.
Android cardhu-user bootloader <2.10 e> released by "US_epad-9.4.5.26-20120720" A03

and it gets stuck there at the ASUS screen.
i have tried to install the APX driver from universal driver 0.7 TF700, and all i get is unknown device in win7 device manager.
hence i cant get into NVflash or Fastboot.
is there anything else that i can do to unbrick this tablet.
are there any other drivers that i need to install in win7 x64 or it to recognize that it is an asus tablet.??
Looks like the JB update didn't write everything properly - you still have the old bootloader. You should really have created backups for nvflash before trying to upgrade to JB.
But it's still not too late. Can you switch yout device to fastboot mode? If yes, then it's just a matter of getting your PC configuration right.
Then the next thing I would do: re-flash some custom recovery via fastboot, make sure it works and you have adb root access, check if /sdcard is ok, then install the AndroidRoot bootloader to create your blobs for nvflash, reboot into recovery, pull the blobs to your PC via adb, and only then try to upgrade to JB again.

Hi, no unfortunately i cant access fastboot, i have tried using the TWRP method of and all i get it a message saying waiting for device. when i try to push the TWRP.blob file.
i think my problem is that the usb device drivers are not working hence win7 x64 cant recognize the tablet when it is turned off (APX mode i believe)

Let's check it step by step:
- On the device, can you still activate the fastboot mode (USB icon)?
- On your PC, you should see a USB device with vendor ID 0b05 and product ID 4daf. Should be visible somewhere in Device Manager under Windows, maybe someone else can give you details (under Linux everything is much simpler with lsusb).
- On the PC, "fastboot devices" should give you more than no output at all (some question marks, AFAIR).

hmm bummer.. no other way to force install a device driver to detect the tablet on my win7 pc.? all i need is a glimmer of hope that i can still talk to the tablet at the lowest level interface. ie APX mode.

The driver on your PC is not the problem. For using nvflash in APX mode you'd need the Secure Boot Key, which is unique for each device and which Asus does not give us, or the blob for the wheelie tool that can be created with the AndroidBoot hacked bootloader, which is also unique for each device. But for creating this blob, you need working fastboot access.
Hello there!
I have a TF700T pad, I installed free rom manager application, from within that application I chose to install clockworkmod recovery, the application loaded the clockworkmod recovery from the internet (there was an indicator on top of the application screen).
After finished, I rebooted into recovery, but it doesn't reboot to recovery, it loads android normally, then I tried to boot to recovery manually by pressing and holding the the power button along with the volume down button it loads nothing and stays there for ever!! I did this several times then it it changed and now it doesn't even load the android normally.
And when I boot into APX mode, the adb can't find it!
In short, I can't access recovery nor system!
When I try to boot to recovery
(power + volume down) It freezs and the following shows on the screen:
"The device is unlocked.

- I downloaded the firmware from ASUS and renamed it to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE" and copied to the root of a formated FAT32 micro SD card and tried to boot, but still freezing on above mentioned screen.
- The PC recognizes it (drivers are correct, i downloaded them and installed them) but the adb can not find the pad and tells me to install tap's specific drivers!
- I tried to flash the recovery image image.img through adb, but same problem, it stays there for ever showing the message "waiting for device".
Please, help me with a solution for that situation!
Thank you.

Hello there!
I have a TF700T pad, I installed free rom manager application, from within that application I chose to install clockworkmod recovery, the application loaded the clockworkmod recovery from the internet (there was an indicator on top of the application screen).
After finished, I rebooted into recovery, but it doesn't reboot to recovery, it loads android normally, then I tried to boot to recovery manually by pressing and holding the the power button along with the volume down button it loads nothing and stays there for ever!! I did this several times then it it changed and now it doesn't even load the android normally.
And when I boot into APX mode, the adb can't find it!
In short, I can't access recovery nor system!
When I try to boot to recovery
(power + volume down) It freezs and the following shows on the screen:
"The device is unlocked.
Android cardhu-user bootloader <2.10 e> release by "CN_epad-9.4.5.30-20120907" A03

Do you have nvflash backup? if not, I believe you're done. You need to send out for repair.
Thank you for your quick response!
Isn't there any other way I could repair it without sending to ASUS repair?? i originally bought it from CHINA and now i am here in EGYPT!!!

I'm assuming you've unlocked the bootloader. Can you get the device into fastboot and push a new recovery through that?

That would be the only remaining option, but ROM Manager is known to do this. If a user cannot even read on a forum before doing stuff, I'm not sure this is going to work out very well.
OK. I'll go back to my hermit cave now.
No, I can only boot in APX mode!
Isn't there any way we can make the adb reconize and access the PAD?
I can bring the recovery image and put in the root of the SD card, but what should I name it so the boot can reconize it and update? (the device says "checking for android ota recovery" !!

APX is NOT adb -- you need to issue commands using fastboot. Did you use the manufacturer's switch? "adb devices" won't return anything, even on a perfectly healthy 700. Take a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926286
and don't forget to use that switch: -i 0x0B05, as in
fastboot -i 0x0B05 <command>
For example, fastboot -i 0x0B05 devices or fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
EDIT: APX = FASTBOOT, for clarity.

I only asked because I thought ROM manager was known to brick this tablet if you tried to install a recovery with it. I may be mistaken though.

APX is also NOT fastboot - in APX mode you can *only* use nvflash, but for that you'd need to have created the blob before bricking.
I am sorry, I didn't really understand what you are trying to say!!
What does "manfacturer's switch" mean?
Also, what does APX = FASTBOOT ?

shreef, the short answer is that only ASUS can help you now. I believe that is your only solution.

Thank you guys for your care and help.

You're right. I wasn't mad/annoyed at your post. I just wanted to point out it has been known for a while now that ROM Manager does funky things on the 700. I'd just stay away from it -- iIn the sense that if one aspect of a program is broken by a device's particulars, changes are relatively high that some other aspect(s) is/are broken as well and you might get to know which one(s) that is/are by first-hand experience.

You're right. I was cutting the curve. I'm sorry for the confusion.

That is quite the accurate summary.
@OP: hope ASUS treats your device nicely and you can get back in our midst with a 700 working well for you, soon.

I was using energy rom, I am 90% sure it was the 4.1 version. (the rom folder was labed Energy.TF300.JB.11.30.2012.zip)
Today i tried to revert it back to complete stock. tried to flash the latest blob from asus' website using fastboot, and when it rebooted, i got the dead android logo, and then nothing. I then followed some other guides from here and such to try to recover it, and now I am stuck with it going straight into TWRP v2.3.1.0 recovery. It then asks me for a password. I can use the adb reboot bootlader command to get back to the fastboot screen, but anytime i try to flash anything, it never takes. the command window says it went, but the tablet just freezes up, until I hold down power until it reboots. Is there any fix for this? Or am I completely and utterly screwed? I will reply asap to any posts, so feel free to ask me for more info if neeed, ill answer the best i can.
Basically you have flashed a 4.2 bootloader onto a 4.1 recovery (TWRP 2.3.1.0)
Sorry but that is a brick.
If you had updated TWRP to a compatible version at the same time you may have been able to save this first ......
As far as I'm aware the only fix is to send it back to Asus for repair.
crap LOL. I got into fastboot, used fastboot erase system, and fastboot erase recovery. Now when i try to click any of the 3 icons, i get unrecoverable bootloader error 0x000000. I can still use fastboot tho when i reboot. anytime i try to flash still, the tablet freezes. when on 3 icon screen, it says at top left:
keydriver not found.. Booting OS
Android cardhu-user bootloader (1.00 e) released by "US_epad-10.6.1.15.3-20130416" A03
It there anything i could do at this point? It is not rebooting into twrp anymore at all. And if i let it boot normally, it just sits at the asus logo. Am i mistaken in assuming it is ready for an OS to be put on it?

Well any chance you had has now gone as you wiped from the bootloader which has now sent a message to the incompatible recovery to wipe and it doesn't understand the partitions so who knows what state it is in now. Sorry.
ok. well than you for your help anyways. everyone says search LOL, but everytime I try to do the things everyone says to they fail for me LOL.

Unlucky mate. You never know Asus might fix it for free? It has happened.
