[Q] What can I do? tf300t seems bricked, holding buttons doesn't help, no apx - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
This is my first post. Been reading posts for awhile to make sure I'm doing the most I can on my own for my Galaxy S3 and my TF300 but I think I finally hit the wall.
Here's the si
Got a TF300T, unlocked it fine (using SDK and command line through all this) rooted to CWM with fastboot,that didn't work right so I flashed to TWRP, put on paranoid android that didn't take so decided to put back to stock to start fresh. Put it back to stock, unrooted. Looks like I used the wrong version firmware (some keys on my board weren't mapped right, press comma, get semi colon). So I checked and found the newer version firmware, was in the process of loading using command line, accidentally pressed enter while loading so it looks like it was doubling up and looks like it froze so I stopped it by holding on and Vol Down now it won't turn back on.
Now I know that's probably what's causing my problem. But now I get nothign on the screen, I've tried using the tips I've heard on here: reset hole, holding On and Vol Up to get into apx mode etc but nothing is working.
I've searched on the forums but I haven't found anything for my particular problem but maybe I'm not asking the right questions.
I'd really appreciate any help, spent too much on this to give up.
Thanks

Mine transformer tf300 can be turned on, but then it get's stuck on the bootscreen with the text bootloader unlocked. I can't turn it off normally, holding vol - & power button does nothing. To turn it of I need to let the battery run out or press the vol + button & reset hole.
I found a tutorial on youtube how to unbrick it ( I am not able to add the link because I am new).
The tutorials uses apx mode. Here is where my problems start. When I press the vol + button and connect my tablet to my laptop it does enter apx mode and it is shown in the device manager.
But I need to force install the driver acording to the tutorial but I don't know what driver I need to install. I've tried the drivers from the asus website and the driverd for adb. but nothing.
Can anyone tell me which driver I have to install? Because getting in to apx mode is the only way I can get any responce from my tablet. When connected I see apx device connected in the device manager, but nothing in my computer where my disks and removable disks show up.

"poorbil" i have the same issiue you have with the tf300.in my situation i succsesfully installed the APX drivers but i can't find a guide how to use it.maybe we can help eachother.here is my yahoo idky2006_18
Please send me the youtube link and i will send you the link with the drivers for APX.if you have teamviewer i can assist you if dont know how to do it.

Power it down. Hold the Volume Up, Volume Down, and Power keys down. Don't let them go. When the phone shows the Galaxy S screen, then you see that screen get a little bit brighter, only let go of the Power key. Hold Volume Up & Volume Down until you see the recovery screen.
I think all you really need to do is get it back into download mode and either reflash KJ6 with ODIN or use one of the one-click ROMs by bhundven.

No, the phone!triangle is another screen for "download mode".
You are in download mode.
You must have the cable connected to the pc and phone, then start your phone to this mode. Don't plug in the cable after the phone is already in this mode, or it won't detect it (sometimes...).

if your phone was "hard bricked" you wouldn't see anything on the screen. Your phone would act dead.
Your phone is soft-bricked. I know what you are seeing on your screen.
Trust me. Open the back of your phone. Pull the battery. Count to 10. Plug the battery back in. Put the battery cover back on. Plug the usb cable into your computer. Hold vol+ and vol- and plug the usb cable into your phone. Keep holding vol+ and vol- till you either see the triangle or dl mode. Either way, Heimdall should detect it as being connected. If not, you need to make sure the odin drivers are truely uninstalled and the heimdall driver is installed correctly. I don't use windows, so you'll need to find help elsewhere on that.

Disater strikes

I tryed to load AOKP rom from this thread in the devlopement section [ROM][29.APR.2012][3G]AOKP (Android Open Kang Project) *OFFICIAL* [v2.1] Milestone 5!Thread. Any way I ended up in the recovery loop that they talked about. I figured no problem just flash my CMW backup. Well recovery dosent see any files to recover. Great. I hook up to my computer to fix by ADB but my computer will not reconize my TF101. Tryed to do the power button + vol up but once again computer fails to see the TF101. I have verified with anorther TF101 that my computer will see it. Have also tried multible cables with same results. So it appears my beloved TF101 has a bad connector although it does still charge. Anyway is there any other way to get out of this recovery loop. I am out of my warrenty period to have the connector fixed.
Does the computer see the tf101 in APX mode?
Well if you can Cold-Boot adb over network may save you. otherwise you need working usb
---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 PM ----------
APX mode use NvFlash?
can you explain how to do this.
At reboot hold volume - and power button , when white text appears in left upper corner let go of the buttons and wait for it too cold boot

Boot looping on the Eee Pad Screen

Hey guys,
So I looked tried to charge my tablet one day, and it decided to boot loop to the Eee pad screen and continue to do that. I tried to enter recovery and it then tried to restore a backup that I had, it said there was some kind of error and CWM wouldn't work after that. I tried doing a cold reboot but nothing worked. Also I tried EasyFlash and I don't think I did that right either. I was on CM 10 before this happened with Rogue Recovery. What are the steps that I need to take in order to get my tablet up and running again.
PS: I know that there are threads about bootlooping but none of them helped much.
I would love some help...:crying:

It seems like I can't get it into apx mode properly. I installed the drivers and when I plug it in it shows nvidia... under USB universal in device manager. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Hi.
I have had this problem for four times after trying to flash to a custom ROM, and now my tablet is perfectly functionable.
If you used EasyFlasher to get a custom ROM and now it's bootlooping OR if you tried to root your device and its bootlooping OR if you do not know what you have to do, then check the ways below:
====================
W1:
Power up the device. When it starts bootlooping, hold both Power + Volume DOWN buttons until it will say that you should press volume up or it will enter RCK mod. When that will appear, do nothing. Just let it enter RCK mod and it should wprk. If not, then do W2.
W2:
Look under your TF101 and see if the S/N starts with B60 or under or B90. Start EasyFlasher and select the FIRST button at launch if it is B60 or under or the second if you have B90. In the EasyFlasher's folder you will see a folder with a name like "update" or "puthere". Now go to Asus' TF101 page, to downloads (Link coming soon, until then try to find it) and select the latest (first you find) firmware.Do NOT use a custom rom or you will hard brick it! Download it to the folder I said above. DO NOT EXTRACT IT. Now, make sure your tablet is at least 50% charged so it can successfully flash the stock rom. Then, connect it to your PC and press the Power + Volume UP buttons on your tablet for like 10 seconds. There must be now a NVIDIA driver in your Device Manager. Go back to EasyFlasher and press "Flash/Unbrick/Root". If anything pops up, check carefully what it says. It will probably say to be sure it is in APX mode and if you want to cpntinue. Press yes or OK. A CMD box will appear, exxtracting the firmware you put in that folder. Let the PC and the tablet do it's work. Do not use the tablet while this happens or it may really becolme unusable forever. After it extracts, another CMD box will pop up, flashing the stock fw. If EasyFlasher will say something like "system.bin - 0kb" then the update will fail and your tablet will get HARD BRICKED. In this case, PM me and I will help you. Okay. Now, your TF101's screen should turn on and say "!!!UPDATE SUCCESSFULL!!!" for like three times, and all the CMD windows from your PC should dissapear. The EasyFlasher should now stop installing the fw. Hold your tablet's power button for 5-10 seconds and release. You should now be able to start your device without bootloops. If there still are bootloops, then, do the W1.
====================
I have had alot of experience in bricked tablets, and those ways should wor. For more infos or TeamViewer help, PM me.
I hope I helped,
Kevin.

When it says to make sure that you are in APX mode, just hold Power + Vol UP buttons for 10 seconds then press ok. The drivers you have must show up as a NVIDIA driver in Device Manager when you hold that buttons. Do what I said in the previous post, it helped me four times lol.

Huawei Y530-U00 hard bricked

Hi, my phone is hard bricked. I dont know why but phone is completly dead. It douesnt react on power button or vol + - and power buton etc. Only if I connect it into the PC I will get QHSUSB_BULK driver installing and after that care suite emergency connectivity is installed.

2. I download "dload" folder with "update.app" to the SD card and start flashing - OK (B189 I think)
3. trying to testing and after that I use wipe/factory reset
4. reboot
5. unplug battery
6. plug battery in

I will apriciate any help. Thank you
I also try a others battery but there is no charging led light. Phone doesnt react on any button. Can you help me please?
Wow, this is a tough one. I'm pretty good with restoring phones and this has me baffled. I don't understand how you managed to do this. Fill me in on what you were doing at the time you bricked the device.

So that means, that the preloader is bricked. Because if it would react on any button (Volume Up, Volume Down, Power), then it would normally react. For those buttons are being handled by the preloader partition file. If you either flashed the preloader from a wrong ROM (Like I did one time on Wiko Lenny 3), then no button will react. Those buttons are being handled by their ID's (I think, not sure). Preloader handles the Button ID if it is pressed. If yes, preloader will detect the clicked button and handle the action (for example: Clicking the power button when Display is off → Makes the Display to go on).
If the preloader is bricked, then either you need a new phone or reflash the preloader.
Huawei Y530 Bricked too
So heres what happened:
Phone didnt boot and showed a recovery, boot image verify failed.
-i copied original firmware for this model (i used right one) to sdcard and updated from it.
When the update was finishing the phone was stuck.
-I tryed to turn on the phone but i cant.
Plugged it into PC, reflashed but still its dead.
Anyone, help please
