Hi, good people. I have bought a TF300T bricked last week, the old user has stock OS, tried to root and failed.
Now im fighting with that. When i turn on the tablet, it stuck at 'The Device is Unlocked' with Asus n' Nvidia Logo, after a minutes it reset and keeps in a constant loop.
I tried to recovery [vol down etc etc] and no effect, i tried with a few of tutorial and nothing.
I connected the tablet via APX [VOL UP + power]. PC recognized it but i stucked in this. Tried to fastboot and stays in 'waiting device'
Someone with ideas? Thanks frr all and sorry for the inconvenience.

PC operating system?
Drivers for fastboot and adb loaded?
Look at my signature about universal naked drivers.
Also about getting into your bootloader menu.
APX will be useless to restore.

Did you actually use the link to attempt the bootloader access?
Did the drivers properly install?
Do you have an sdcard for this tablet?

I'll assume that means all ten methods to get into the bootloader failed.
If the adb drivers installed we may have a chance.
You didn't say about the sdcard.
At the moment are you still stuck in apx or bootlooping.
Sorry but I need a place to begin.

i have a sd, it doesn't have info [isn't from tf300, it doesnt came with]. When i introduce it into eeepad i can't access the storage from windows.
I can only interact with the tablet when i turn it on with VOLUP + POWER then is when windows ask me for drivers, now i have installed ADB drivers.
sorry for all dude. And thanks.

No problem we just need to get a starting place and have as much in our favor as possible.
I don't believe adb works in apx mode but we'll give it a shot.
No sdcards come with the tablet.
Go into apx mode (volume + power).
Go to your adb folder with cmd and type
adb devices - press return or enter
If it is working we should get your serial number in return.
Now get out of apx mode.
type
adb devices - do not press return yet
watch your unit and when the screen goes black and before it lights(rebooting) now press return
Tell me what is returned each way.

I have some bad news for you.
Without adb or fastboot access I don't know of anything else to be done.
If you could have gotten into the bootloader menu we would have had a chance.
Maybe someone else will read this thread and have more ideas.
I'm sorry.
Good Luck!
same problem here. i have a tf300t and can only access apx interface.
I got into this mess, after by "accident" choosed the "wipe data" option present on the bootleader.
!! adb, fast boot do not work!! "power key + down button" dont do anything!
i'm getting a bit resteless because no matter were i search on the web i can not find anything suitable on how to resolve this issue...
there are some youtube videos that show a solution for tf100. it seems the same problem.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwvfNIHCYlQ
there is also a tool for tf100, called easy flasher. to bad it does not work for tf300t
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
i think it is a question of seaching and waiting. someone will help and get or point to a solution. because if we google for tf300t bricked that are lots and lots of links stating this issue...
what a mess...

Do you see anything after resetting by holding volume down and the power button? If you can get the tablet into fastboot mode you may able to revive it. If you can, ask the previous owner which version stock Android he was running before he tried to root it (it matters!).
This method worked for me!

Bricked Xoom built a program cable but fails to install drivers when connected. I tried going to devices and troubleshooting searched for drivers but none were found.
Any idea of what i can try next?
Have you downloaded drivers from motodev?
Prior to the bricking, could you connect to your computer?
It will connect but it just shows up as APX in the devices and says its missing drivers. I went to moto and downloaded USB drivers but still does the same thing. The xoom does nothing when plugged in.
Windows 7 or XP?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Windows 7. I did manage to get some drivers to install. Don't know if their the rite ones though. I clicked on let me choose such drivers, found some in SDK for htc,Samsung,and Motorola. Chose Motorola and it had several adb drivers clicked next and they installed. So now it just shows it as APX in the devices but no longer has the missing drive issue. Still no sign of life when trying adb or fastboot.
What mode is it in when you are attempting to connect it to your computer?

It's just a black screen. Won't turn on at all even when pressing volume+power. All it does is the white light comes on when charging. Can't get recovery mode or fastboot.

I have the same problem.. doing my head in trying to fix it. I have tryed everything i can think off. Anyone out there know how to fix it in apx mode using a factory cable ?
Did you ever find a solution to this issue?
I currently have a black-screen bricked Xoom. I have tried all the 'soft-unbrick' methods, I can _NEVER_ get anything to appear on screen. The only signs of life are with a 'factory cable'
With this 'factory cable' I am able to see 'APX' in my Device Manager. I can make it 'reboot' by doing the volume up + power which makes the device disappear and reappear. No other key combinations have any effect.
I am able to install either the Nvidia NVFlash drivers. However NVFlash doesn't work. Possibly due to a lack of SBK (Secure Boot Key).
I am also able to install the "Universal Naked Driver" which makes the device show up as an "Asus Transformer APX" However neither fastboot or adb seem to see the device.
Does anyone have any suggestions how I can unbrick my Xoom?

Dear all,
I got the same thing.
I installed the driver from nvflash drivers. And I ran several commands to try, it showed no bootloader was specified. I guess maybe I damaged my bootloader. Does any of you unbricked your xoom?
Here is a link to my post, which showed my tries.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838002
Anyone could help us? Thanks a lot.
Wow, i've been on that Wagon for a long time. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838002 Now I just gave up cause I don't think anyone has gone past installing the drives after it detecting as APX.
Thanks for your kindly reply.
So, you mean there is no hope.
Actually, I sent it to another MOTO local service center again. After one week, they told me they tried to restore the software in two steps, but only the first could be done, and then went back to brick again. And they thought there might be some damage on “the kit” of motherboard, and if I want to repair, the whole motherboard must be replaced totally.
If you still have the bricked XOOM, would you please try to draw the BCT and config.cfg from your device?
Again, I did another search. Although there is no available bootloader.bin, BCT and config.cfg for XOOM, I guess there might be possible to use SAMSUNG P7510's files, because the hardwares are almost same, and it's heard that P7510 could use XOOM's ROM.

Hi all,
I have an ASUS TF300T.
A friend of mine tried to root it and install a new rom. He said he followed steps that he found on XDA and was trying to flash a new JB rom.
Having said that, now the tablet is stuck at the ASUS Logo during boot and there is a message on the top left "the Device is UnLocked"
Nothing happens!!
I tried holding POWER + Low Volume button and it does not get into bootloader. ADB and Fastboot does not detect the device. Even Windows and Linux do not detect the device.
So i tried POWER + increse Volume button and it gets into APX mode. I used the Universal Naked Drivers on this site and windows detects the device.
But the question is how do i restore it or how to reformat it ...etc.
Is there a way to use External SD card to get help in this situation.
Can anything be done from the APX Interface ?
These are the links that my friend has followed ...

Thank you all for your help !
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.

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

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

I've scoured Google and the only reference I could find linked to a file that was removed.

Win 7 64.
Device originally detected as APX but with yellow !. Then Windows installed it as "unknown device".
Uninstalled that from Device Manager and rebooted. Connected tablet and get "unknown device" again.
When I try to update driver to those in link it says "best driver already installed"
Just tried those drivers on my notebook (fresh install of Win 7 64). Same thing - Unknown Device.
Think I have to face the fact that my tablet is bricked

I attempted to update my CM10 ROM to CM11. Went through the process of upgrading CWM via Clockwork ROM Manager but I suspect that it didn;t work.
Booted into CWM, did a factory reset and Dalvik Wipe. Then attempted to install the CM11 ROM. It failed (can;t remember th exact error).
After that I could restart into the recovery menu (3 icons) - but the next time I tried to restart I ended up where I am now.
Endless loop of the Asus logo with the "device is unlocked" mice type - that's the only screen I get.
I can get into APX mode (I think) but when I connect the tablet to a PC it's not recognized.
Can Asus do a factory repair? I know I'll get cahrged for it but at this point I have a near mint tablet, the keyboard and very expensive leather case that's just junk if not.

I think that I know why your PC did not recognize your device... Do you know how to use ADB? What is happening when you enter "adb devices" in your adb prompt? Does your Asus screen have a spinning circle under Asus logo? I guessed that you are stuck at the bootloader screen and waiting for your OS to start so there is no spinning circle...
Please answer those questions above and maybe some experts can help you out... Good luck...

Did you have adb and/or fastboot working prior to this? Meaning, are you sure you have the necessary drivers installed?
Although, I'm afraid neither would help. You probably would not get an ADB connection since you can't boot Android nor boot into recovery or access via fastboot.....
The APX drivers would not help you unless you generated your device specific nvflash blobs prior to this disaster. Without them APX is useless to you.
But before you turn it into a paper weight I would make each and every desperate attempt to revive it I could think of.
For example:
Holding Power + Volume Down for 30 seconds or longer
Volume down + reset pin hole on the side of the tablet
If you have ADB drivers installed: Connect the tablet to PC, type: adb reboot-bootloader and reboot it - hoping that you get a second or two where ADB would connect during the next boot (very slim chance but what the heck...)
Connect the tablet to the wall wart, let it boot to the Asus logo and leave it there. Overnight for 8 hours or so (I have seen this working twice actually - although the situation was somewhat different...)
Beyond that it's prayers, voodoo or replacing the mainboard - sorry.

Thanks!
I'll give these a try tonight.
I see a bunch on eBay for under $250 so I imagine it would be cheaper to just ditch this one if I can't get it working as opposed to sending it back to Asus for repair.

I believe Asus charges $300+ for replacing the board, so yes, you're probably better off buying it on ebay.
Just don't ditch the old one too far - you may need the parts. Or you can sell them

Well struck out on all accounts (I had left it plugged in at the Asus logo last night).
Appreciate all the help but I think it's eBay time for whatever I can get and sell the mobile dock and fancy leather case.
Then to decide what brand to get next....

Hi berndblb,
How are you these days? If vexille can get adb going, he/she could try to push the Asus firmware to the staging partition using dd command and hope for it to reinstall the bootloader....
@vexille
If you somehow can get into the fastboot mode, you may want to keep your device in that mode until you can successfully flash the new bootloader on your device. Good luck...:fingers-crossed:

I've tried every suggestion and cannot get past the "device is unlocked" mice type and static Asus logo.
When using adb it doesn't find any devices. I'll be putting it up eBay tomorrow for whatever I can get.
Looking at the new Samsung Galaxy 8.4 Pro as a replacement.

Hi LMK - you can't win'em all...
I'm good - just returned from a family visit to Germany. Fighting the jetlag - groan. And having to go back to serious work Friday - big groan.
So what did you replace the 700 with - if anything? I get you're snatching it away from your nephew once in a while to do some testing? What kind of a uncle are you? You are probably ruining all his game scores! LOL

I hope that you had a great time with your family... I am still looking and have not decide it yet.. I always backup my stuff before messing with the device. Plus, my nephew has a few hour of playing on the tablet per day any way.. So I can take it any time that I want, hehe....:laugh: I also have a higher authority as an uncle...:silly:
Hello
I need help with my TF700.
I had this tablet for some time. It was unlocked with TWRP and ZOMBI-POP.
Last week I wanted to upgrade it for KIT-Kass 7.1
I wanted to update my TWRP for kang wersion ( 2.8.7.4) through TWRP and during the process it rebooted.
Then I've got a bootloop on normal starting. I can't get into recovery mode through power + vol up - tablet has no respond for that
I can only go to fastboot through power + vol down but when I connect it to windows with adb drivers or to linux(FWUL) it sees no device and no respond for any command.
Do You have any idea what to do ?
Thank You in advance
Sorry to say this but, if you can't send it commands then you are most likely hard bricked. What OS are you running on the computer with fastboot on it? - NP

This sounds not so good. I use windows 10 but as I said also I used FWUL to try.

Do you have access to a Windows 7 computer/laptop. There's an issue with Windows 10 and the fastboot drivers not working together, and causing a problem like yours. - NP

Found this in another thread, windows 10 fix. - NP
"I used Windows 10 and had to disable driver signature enforcement. Once I did this the PC recognized the tab without issue. "
To disable;

Thank You for the info, but I have laptop with Windows7 and still the same.
But if I have text on screen like this Starting fastboot USB download protocol can the device still be hard-bricked ?
Maybe I am missing some drivers ?
I would d/l Minimal ADB and Fastboot from here;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
and Universal_Naked_Driver_0.72 here; - NP
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263822
For now the problem is I can not install the "naked driver" because devices manager can not see TF700 when it is connected, so I can't update the driver
Have you tried sending the [fastboot reboot] command to see if the tablet will reboot. When I bricked my TF201t my laptop didn't see it but it still took the commands allowing me to wipe the recovery partition and install the correct TWRP. - NP
Dear Guys
I know that this topic is quite old, but I am still fighting with this problem.
I tryied different drivers, 3 different computers ( two with windows 10 one with windows 7) and I can;t connect to fastboot.
The tablet is in this mode, but when I will use adb and type any command like fastboot reboot - it displays "waiting for device"
Do You have any idea what else can I try ?
Best regards
Hi,
me too! I was using it at lunch - no problem. Got home and turned it on and unrecoverable bootloader error.
