Please help.
Cannot into RCK. Need install Recovery or not?
Thanks
Well, what are you trying to do?
If you want to install a custom ROM or a custom recovery, you need to unlock your device first.
When running stock ROM, why do you need recovery?
If you have issues with stock ROM ASUS support should be helpful.

If you have stock ROM and you hold power+Vol down then Vol Up...it will boot into stock rom recovery...which is the android robot laying down. Nothing wrong there...that's what is supposed to happen.
That is the same way to get to a CUSTOM recovery such as TWRP but in order to install that, you need to have your tablet unlocked using the Asus APP unlocker. This is downloadable from the Asus website. Read carefully before you install it...if you don't care to install custom ROMs, then dont bother.
If I have stock ROM ICS 4.30 and unroot , unlock and I hold power+Vol down then Vol Up... It only show data wipe and android icon.
Some one in this forum said that also have a USB icon. However, I cannot find it.
How to show the USB icon? Need update to JB loader or unlock the table.
Anyone can help?

If you are on stock ICS ROM and you hold power+vol down, you should see wipe data, the USB icon and Android icon. Use vol down to move the cursor to the usb icon and then use Vol up to select...

What do you see when you hold power+vol down?
No you don't need to update to JB to see this...JB has 4 icons, ICS has 3.
Is USB debugging ON?
It is possible you may have to unlock to get the USB icon...

Before you proceed with the following, it is really important to tell me what you eventually want to do.
If you don't care, then go ahead and try first:
1. Go to settings, developer options, make sure USB debugging is checked. Then do the power+vol down to see if USB icon appears.
2. If that doesn't work, try settings, backup and reset, then reboot with power+vol down. Warning: This resets everything so all your data will be erased.

xxboarderxx,
Thank you for your hlep.
point 1 and point 2 have already try. Still only 2 icon show and no USB icon.
I think it should be need to unlock the table or update to JB.
I just want to know other user have same issue or not before I unlock or update the table.
Uhmmmm. The extra 2 icons show when you upgrade to jb. The jb upgrade includes an upgrade to the bootloader which is where these icons appear.
That being said if you don't intend to unlock or use fastboot mode, then you don't need these and perhaps you should stop trying to mess around in sensitive areas. If your intent is to unlock, root, update to the latest firmware and or load a custom ROM, there is a guide in the general section which explains all of this starting in ICS and moving up to jb. Go find it.

Two extra icons appear in JB yes but the usb icon should be there even with ICS. I can confirm since I soft bricked my tablet on ICS when I first got the tablet and needed to fast boot and nv flash using apx to get it working again... He's messed something up and the only way to really get everything back is to restore to stock. However he won't tell me what he intends to do so I can't really help him any further...

As I see it, the only reason to unlock your tablet is to get access to fastboot, right?
So it seems reasonable, that the USB/fastboot icon is not showing on a locked device.
Might be all quite as intended.
Unfortunately I can't check this, as my tablet is already unlocked, but it seems like a good guess.

You might be right. I can't remember if I had usb icon after unlocking bootloader or before. I just know there is a possibility of having 3 icons with ICS.

+1 - usb icon appears after unlock.
Android on back is stock recovery with no file to install found, correct response.
Thank you for all.
It seems need to unlock the table.
I just received the table few days, I will unlock the table after one month if the hardward is no problem.

Hi
So I have totally bricked my TF101, I basically ran the ARHD Super Wipe Full script and then stupidly hit reboot, rather than actually go an install anything.
Now my TF101 is stuck on the Asus boot screen and I can't get out of it. To top it off, my power button is totally messed up and doesn't really work anymore.
When I connect the TF101 to my computer (Win7) it tries to install the Asus MTP drivers (which fail because I get error 10, the device is not working, or something like that).
I can't get the machine into APX mode (or any other mode in that case) and I can't get ADB to work on it.
Have I totally baked the machine?
[FYI I have taken it back to Asus but for them to repair it, they say they have to change the motherboard and the cost would be HK$2,400].
Thanks in advance for any tips / suggestions.

So power button doesn't work at all?
If that's the case then I'm afraid your tablet is kinda paperweight..
Try downloading universal naked drivers and install them.. that might help in installing / recognising your tablet... I'm out of suggestions....
You can try this.. let the battery drain out.. press down volume down button and then plug your tablet into power.. as soon as screen boots up hit volume up button that should take you into recovery... once in recovery do the needful.... good luck

Did you try using compressed air on the buttons? Maybe you just have some pocket lint in there.
As a last ditch effort, you could wait for it to shut down, hold volume down, and then plug it in. If your tf boots, it will respond to the boot time commands.
APX mode might be better since you won't need any button commands once you get in. I think ASUS changes the usb ID every once in a while to keep windows users on their toes. It doesn't seem to be an issue with linux.
"As a last ditch effort, you could wait for it to shut down, hold volume down, and then plug it in. If your tf boots, it will respond to the boot time commands."
If you can do this and get into recovery you'd be closer, what recovery do you have installed? I have twrp and it supports external sd which saved me when i did this. ..
Thanks guys.
I have already tried the universal naked drivers, without luck.
I was using an old Roach recovery.
Will try the other methods. Otherwise I'm going to take it down to one of the computer centres in HK to see if these guys can do anything (and hopefully cheaper than what Asus are asking for).

Try turning the device off then holding volume down and power button. Might be power up and volume, not sure. Then during boot when you see text in upper left corner, press volume up.

The device does not yet handle the reboot to recovery command. As stated by AndroSwag, power and volume down, as soon as you see the small script, press volume up. You will see the classic android laying prone... just tap power and you will be in stock (or custom) recovery.

I already have this question up as part of a different issue/question in another thread, but thought I'd double down my chances of getting a response:
I'm on the .30 bootloader; do the newer BLs (eg. 10.44.25) implement Reboot to Recovery functionality? Or is this not related to the BL?

I know I am running 10.4.4.25 with CROMI 3.3 and TWRP and I can reboot into recovery just fine (without having to do the power button + volume).

Yes. If you have stock rom you need to be rooted and download an app called rebooter, this app has options where you can boot to recovery. If you are running custom rom this same app will help you to do the same.

I can now reboot into recovery without the use of the app (I hear people have bricked their tabs with it). Anyways, the 10.xx.xx bootloader was the missing piece. With the new CM10.1 builds, I don't have the reboot context menu (I'm sure it can be configured to show reboot into recovery, etc. but have been to busy to play with my tablet) but "reboot recovery" from Terminal works fine.
Thanks for all the replies.
I just bought a new TF700T and have unlocked the bootloader, and am now trying to root. However, when I start the device by holding down Power and VolumeDown, the bootloader immediately loads the recovery kernel without giving me the opportunity to select fastboot.
What's up with that?

I see them, but the device immediately announces that it's taking me to the recovery kernel images.
Or I let go too soon and it boots normally. I haven't found a way to actually be allowed to make the selection yet.
Having tried something different, even using "adb reboot bootloader" from the command prompt reboots the device to the bootloader, but still gives me no chance to make any selection other than the recovery kernel image.
Okay, solution to the problem found: even though the bootloader tells you that Vol- moves the selection and Vol+ selects it, it's the other way round.
Problem solved.

I was trying to root ıt for the purpose of upgrading lollipop but when i start it with power button and volume down i saw the menu wipe-android and one more. I am not sure which one i pushed but after that the device waited long time and i tried power button to make it again.
now it waits in the Asus screen and cant opearate volume down and power again. I saw device manager a unknown device and with the driver i found on net it is now Asus android ADB interface. Is there any solution you can give me how to make it run again.

You do not need to root to install a nbew ROM, only your boot loader needs to be unlocked.
Now it's useless because i can't see there. It is missing
