[HELP] is my tablet bricked?

hi,
i bought yesterdy a tablet from a private person and not a store. the tablet looked new, wraped in original wrping and all, and i didn't started it on, since i was told the owner didn't even do the 8 hours charge.
after charging, i started on the tablet, and it got stuck on the ASUS logo. i tried hard reset (button down + power for 12 seconds or more) but all it doe's is again the asus logo and nothing more.
is there anything that can be done?
needless to say the person i bought it from is unrechable (going to the police to comlain of fraud, but i was too stupid and didn't took his full details )

Contact asus for the warranty if they let you. This shouldn't be in the dev section though.

Just download the firmware including original Rom straight from http://vip.asus.com/ Flash CWM. Unzip the package to INTERNAL SD, just extract ONCE. Boot into CWM, flash the package and see how it goes

If you need help go to the Index of the TF300T
It's a good start.
And then you came back and ask your questions that will be possibly without response.
It's a forum for share, indeed, but you must to try and search :good:
We are always here for help you
Edit: Don't be afraid, if your post has been moved to an another forum; go to => Transformer TF300T Q&Ac

first of all - thank you, but
here is the, i read all day the index (well some of the day), and there is nothing there that has commands for apx mode...
when i said i'm a noob, it was to say i need a bit of help, not a lot, some of the stuff i know, but still
any way, tried one click root tool, but device is not recognized.
my only hope is to work on apx mode, but i don't know how, or what can be done in that mode.
whould appriciate if someone knows how to help me

I saw that you had posted your problem elsewhere.
I see not other solution than to return the product that you purchased to Asus, with purchase (of the former owner) and sale invoices.
And try to explain your problem.
If I find something, I would come back to you

i am trying, but i have no recipt, since i bought it from a crook who disapeared (and foolishly i didn't take his full detailes).
whould apriciate the help, if you will find an idea, and also i hope asus lab will assist me, if they can, tomorow they will take the item and tell me if they can do anything.
let's hope the dumb ass didn't ruined the pad for good.
i will update

Do you have access to recovery or ANY adb access? Since asus didn't release the sbk for the TF300 (Only fastboot if your bootloader is unlocked) Idt you have NvFlash access, you could attempt it but without a sbk afaik Apx mode is useless.
If you can get fastboot/adb access via the volume-down+power menu you may be able to flash recovery and then a ROM or adb flash/fastboot flash a full restore stock blob through the staging partition.

That's why I can't explain why he can't flash one recovery by fastboot command.
Is that your installation of Asus drivers , and SDK is correct? just verify it
Access Adb or not? When you connect your TF can you access to your recovery or not?

TF300T can't startup anymore

Something went wrong while flashing CWM on my TF300T. It showed successful in cmd window on pc, but the statusbar on my pad kept showing 100% but nothing happend (no message or automaticly rebooting). After waiting 10 minutes or so, I turned off the device and restarted it.
Now the device is not started up anymore, keeps stuck on message:
"The Device is Unlocked".
When I try te start it up in Fastboot ( pwr+vol down) the screen get stuck on message:
"The Device is Unlocked.
Android cardhu-user bootloader <2.10 e> released by "ww_epad-9.4.3.29-20120511" A03
Checking for android ota recovery
Booting recovery kernel image"
Now the pad is not starting up the ROM and I can't get in fastboot mode anymore.
The solutions given in other treads about a simular problem, you need to put your pad into USB mode.
But that is not posible anymore.
Is there any other solution for this problem??
Thanks guy's

problem
I also have the same brick .... like it ....

Hello,
me too...
Tablet starts always automatically into CWM recovery.
Fastboot and ADB doesnt work either...
Could it be ADB isnt working because debugging mode isnt activated?
But how can I change without a working android?
Is there someone out there who can help me out of this problem?
Or is RMA the only solution?
But I dont want to send my transformer to asus so they can change the motherboard. Its only a software problem...
Can someone help me? Please

Give it what it is looking for and hope for the best. Stock update ( ww_epad-9.4.3.29-20120511 ) If when plugged into pc you have access to internal sdcard put it there, if not put it on external sdcard and reboot unit. If that does not load update try to get into fastboot as you mention above maybe it will install from there since it tells you ( Checking for android ota recovery ).
Good Luck!
If you downloaded the file from asus you will need to unzip once and still have a zip but slightly different name!

Hello tobdaryl,
thanks for your answer!
Unfortunately I dont have access to internal sdcard... also I cant get into fastboot mode...
I think ADB could help, but I cant get ADB to work. I have to activate usb debugging, right?
But how could I do without starting Android?

place it on external sdcard if you can't access internal. if this works you don't need adb or fastboot. we are trying to let your unit update for you and clear your problem. as far as fastboot I'm only suggesting do as you said about trying to go into fastboot as when you received the message about update.
sounds harder than it is.
place update on external sdcard. reboot, if no love reboot into fastboot as when you received update message. at that point we hope your unit will auto install the update for you.
time is all you might loose.
Good Luck!:good:

ASUS tf300t fix root permissions error
this was the best place i could think to post this.
I can see that you are somewhat versed with my series of tablet so im hoping maybe you can help me.
I previously had rooted my device and did so pretty easily (fastboot flash CWM-Touch, root-signed.zip) yadda yadda.
Then I deciced i wanted to install CM 9.1(stable)[or so it said]
Downloaded the build onto sd card, wiped my caches and data and all that...CWM install .zip,(good), reboot, stuck at inital cold-boot screen with ASUS and TEGRA powered by NVIDIA logos.
Found a solution to that problem @ transformerforums.com- did a fastboot: flash system blob w/original JB OTA build (took forever, i even thought it froze my computer) i had to download from the asus support site and got the tablet up and running again....BUT, and this is the kicker, no root. I tried using CWM-touch to reinstall root-signed.zip, successful. Hit reboot and CWM popped up with your user su binary may be damaged. Repair? yes. Reboots fine, but then i tried to access a program that needed root, ERROR! IS DEVICE ROOTED? pops up... I checked my /system/xbin/su. still there but couldnt do anything with it...
ANY SUGGESTIONS TO HELP WOULD BE AWESOME. This isn't the first device ive cracked so im not exactly new but dont know enough about this to try fix anymore than what ive done and ive searched the forums over for the past four days and cant find anyone or anything that is similar to whatim experiencing...
please help.
Sincerely, SIK
P.S.-DONT USE CWM-TOUCH V6.0.3 ON THIS TABLET. YOU CANT MAKE RECOVERIES!!! IT SAYS IT DOES BUT DOESNT BUILD ANYTHING!

[Q] TF300t bricked? Bootloop, no adb, no fastboot but APX accesible

Hi everyone, first post here, but I've been reading this forum for some time now.
I've got an asus transformer pad tf300t 3 days ago. Last night, I tried to install cyanogenmod10, I unlocked the device, and installed clockworkmod, everything was fine until I accidentaly entered recovery mode and wipe all data, now the tablet only shows the asus logo and enteres in to a bootloop (I think). I can't enter recovery mode, ADB doesn't recognize it, fastboot neither and I can't even turn it off. I can't enter recovery, it just shows me the asus logo again.
HOWEVER, I waited until the battery drained, connected the usb cable to the tablet (not in the computer) pressed + volume button and without releasing it, connected to pc. Now the computer detects new hardware. I already installed the driver and it says "ASUS TRANSFORMER PRIME APX INTERFACE". Now, i'm not sure if it's the correct driver, but according to hardware administrator, it works fine.
Now, the real cuestion: Is there anything I can do from apx mode to save my tablet? A new bootloader maybe??
Thanks everyone
PS: Sorry for the bad english, It's not my language

from the loop,If you hold the power button for 10s when reboot and immediatly press the volume down button, what you have asus loop or the screen with the 3 icons (RCK ecc) ?

To answer your question about apx, no unless you received your tablet with ICS 4.0 and installed Nvflash.
Check my signature for a guide for apx and bootloader menu. Look below the apx section for the bootloader information. Try each from beginning to end except removing the back and disconnecting the battery. If you complete the list and still have not seen a change start with #1 and try them again and again. It is surprising but as you go through the list things have a way changing.
Good Luck!

Use of the bootloader information may allow access to recovery, adb, or fastboot. Access to any of the three may allow the ability to recover your tablet.

None of the ways worked for me.... can't access that menu...

Rayman the dev and op for nvflash suggests this as a first option.
nvflash -r --download 4 blob.EBT
nvflash -r --download 10 blob.APP
nvflash -r --download 6 blob.LNX
nvflash -r --download 5 some_ics_recovery.img
Here is the thread where he posted this info.
If you wish you can use blobtools to create your own.

Of course, my tablet had the bootloop error with TWRP and the new 4.1.2 JB update.
When my device had stock ICS ROM (long time ago), I followed this tutorial, this allow you to create some backup files from your device, which in the future will allow you flash your tablet througth APX mode (more powerfull that fastboot mode) and the NVFLASH utility
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894867
The only isue is that you need a pre-JellyBean bootloader (ICS) in order to make those backup files, if you are in a JB stock ROM (JB-bootloader), you can't make this backup files (Asus block the way that we can backup this files on JB ROMs).
With my backup files, the nvflash tools (from the tutorial above), and the instrutions that post tobdaryl, I manage to restore my tablet to an ICS ROM
If you are interested, there is a online petition (but i don't remember were :silly asking that Asus allows the NVFLASH backup utility on JB-bootloaders. With NVFLASH and ours backup files, we can restore our devices from any type of soft-brick.
In the case that your TF300 had and stock ICS (or you can flash it one), I can assist you in the case that you have troubles making the nvflash backup files with the tutorial

Would be nice if you could use someone else's file to fix a brick. Has anyone tried it.

Could You explain step by step which driver and how do you get up Yours TF300T?
I have the same problem, only recovery starts (TWRP2.5.0.0)

possible brick?...
After downgrade the console from the v. 4.2 to 4.1, following tutorials in this forum, because it would not let me install a Custom Rom (yes the recovery, not the root) I can think of to make a choice Wipe from the Stock 4.1 Recovery and restart WW I stand still Asus logo, white, and trying to restart pushing Recovery again, I go and I follow the fixed logo. I do not recognize the device SDK and have seen many posts and I can not find the solution ... buf! Someone has been the same? ... The strange thing is that lights ...

In case nothing else works (another fix) worked for me!

If you cannot access to fastboot, IMHO there's nothing you can do. I am in your same boat: no adb and fastboot access, my PC recognize the tablet only in APX mode but with NVflash I cannot do anything because I not have a backup.
Bye
EDIT: I am in this situation after a wrong recovery flash. I flashed a new recovery but I could not load it and I made the (big) mistake to try a wipe from the recovery menu. My Tf300t is now stuck at asus logo and I cannot access to the bootloader anymore. I do not know what to do, is the tablet definitely bricked or there's something I can try before going to ASUS service?
Thanks in advance.
Bye

[Q] Back To Stock

Afternoon guys,
Before anyone has a go at me, I've have spent about five hours looking through this forum for what I'm looking for and i've tried all the easy unroot/easy flasher/etc and got all the stock Asus rom and recovery. AND the forum search is temporarily unavailable.
So here is what I have:
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.4
Liquid Smooth Rom
I have installed the stock rom, recovery and wiped everything.
If i press the power button it loads into CWM recovery.
If i press power and down vol, it loads to the wipe data/load android screen, and which it hangs on forever,
So I guess what im asking you good people of the internet is:
A) How do I finally get rid of CWM Recovery (because even if i install another recovery it boots back to CWM), and
B) How on gods earth do I get back to stock?
Now I know people are going to be like search the forums, I have, and I've tried literally everything that everyone has posted, and clearly while it's worked for millions of other people, my tablet is retarded and doesnt want to follow the norm.
Also i am the greatest noob ever.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hmmm, did you unzip the stock ROM once before flashing (it will still be a zip).
Otherwise, try using EasyFlasher and APX mode. For EasyFlasher, do not unzip the stock ROM, use it as it downloads from Asus.

Before anyone has a go at me, I've have spent about five hours looking through this forum for what I'm looking for and i've tried all the easy unroot/easy flasher/etc and got all the stock Asus rom and recovery. AND the forum search is temporarily unavailable.
So here is what I have:
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.4
Liquid Smooth Rom
I have installed the stock rom, recovery and wiped everything.
If i press the power button it loads into CWM recovery.
If i press power and down vol, it loads to the wipe data/load android screen, and which it hangs on forever,
So I guess what im asking you good people of the internet is:
A) How do I finally get rid of CWM Recovery (because even if i install another recovery it boots back to CWM), and
B) How on gods earth do I get back to stock?
Now I know people are going to be like search the forums, I have, and I've tried literally everything that everyone has posted, and clearly while it's worked for millions of other people, my tablet is retarded and doesnt want to follow the norm.
Also i am the greatest noob ever.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If your TF is SBK1 (Serial B6O or earlier, some B7Os work too) you can use NVFlash
http://www.xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Asus/Asus+Transformer+(TF101)/STOCK+ROMS/ICS+.27
Stick the TF into APX mode (Vol up & Power from Powered Off state)
Run download.bat as Admin (Right click > Run as Admin)

@frederuco
I did unzip it and install it. It still hangs.
I tried EasyFlasher, but for some reason I run through it and the process completes, when i reboot the tablet nothing has changed.
@*Detection*
I can't get the link to work for some reason.
Thanks for your help so far, but stupid tablet stays stupid!

I downloaded it and ran it as admin, DOS flashed up and disappeared before i could read what it said.
the nvflash app does the same, even when i run as admin.
maybe this is a lost cause..

What is the first 3 characters of your tablet serial?
And was it in APX mode connected to PC USB with APX drivers installed ?

The serial starts with B40.
Im on a mac (as i have no access to a pc) but have VMWARE running windows 7, with APX drivers on it.
When i put it in APX mode, it comes up that it is connected as Nvidia APX device.
Could this be where I'm going wrong?

Yea probably, I've never tried using NVFlash on anything other than a PC running Windows
Try updating the NVidia APX Device with these drivers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1489867&d=1353190140
Chances are its the drivers running on the Mac that are causing the problem with the USB > VMWare > TF101
I know nothing about Mac, but I heard you can install Windows 7 almost natively using Bootcamp or something? Might be worth trying that if you can't do it in VMWare

Great!
At least you know now you can do what you like with it firmware / ROM / Recovery wise, and always be able to return it to stock, you can't break APX mode unless you physically damage the tablet
