Ok, so I noticed that there isn't a topic for this made, so i'll just ask under the Transformer Q&A.
I don't see a lot of people asking. But basically here's what I got:
My SL101 slider is rooted, well it was at least the last time it worked. I had it rooted, and attempted to install acer recovery from the market. Installed and I had it install cwm. I restarted the tablet, and that's where it goes wrong.
It sticks at the Asus loading screen. I have the ability to boot using volume up + power, and volume down + power, but nothing appears to work.
I wiped the data, do you think it would be just easier to return it to asus and say it doesn't boot after installing the firmware update, it's still within warranty? :\
Another Question.
Ok, so is there anyway to use the latest asus blob to reinstall the entire os? I've heard that if you have the blob from the asus website it can be used to reinstall the entire system. Any thoughts?
Just out of curiosity,,,,,Can you use "Acer" recovery tools on "Asus" tablets?

Sounds to me like you guys got a bad download. Not sure but if you know how to flash back to honeycomb i would give that a try and then redownload the update.
To flash back to honeycomb download your proper region from here
http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download
Then UNZIP the zip file that came from asus
Copy the asus/update/ww-epad-user8.6.5.21.zip file to your microSD
Copy the ww-epad-user8.6.5.21 file to the root of your microSD
Rename the file to EP101-SDUPDATE.zip. (this is case sensitive must be caps)
Reboot to recovery by pressing vol down and power while the tab is off
When you see the text press vol up
Edit : if this works it should bring you back to honeycomb. This is also assuming you cannot get into clockworkmod.

I have the same problem, turning the TF101 off.
After a while when I look at it, its hanging on the boot screen and the circle is not spinning.
A reboot helps.
Could it be one of my news reader News360, Puls or a app like email, Friendfinder or Overlook Wiz?
These apps are always active and synch themselves at given times.
I have a few browser shortcuts. In a folder on my homescreen, after a crash like this, the shortcut icons are replaced with green android icons.

It is not a case of bad downloads. CWM or OTA, it doesn't matter, my TF is random rebooting on ICS. Honeycomb runs just fine. My report is consistent with that of other people. There IS a problem with the update, but it seems to only affect some units.

If it's the problem i hope for other update from Asus to fix it :-(
Inviato dal mio Transformer TF101 usando Tapatalk
i don't think is a bad download , 2 day straight after the update i had no problems ... now on 24 hours i had 3 reboot , 1 time hang at the Asus logo and 1 time my tf went into a some kind of bootloop ... after the download of ics update is a check file verification before the start .
so i think the problem is in ICS or a combination of ICS + some packages or some problem in kernel .

No problems for me too. Chrome is awesome. Not had one fc or random reboot.

How many who have had reboots logged into g+ app?
Had been using this heavily without issues till I signed into g+. Soon after I signed in and turned off screen it rebooted and stuck at Asus screen. Held power till it restated wiped data from g+ (and never logged back in) and it hasn't happened again so far. It might be a far cry to what may be causing reboots. But I didn't have any problems till then. And I don't seem to have them now, battery is good if not better, I love it just hope it doesn't reboot again.

I agree with you, i notice one thing, battery in ICS is better then honeycomb, but after this problem it start drain faster, i don't know why, in battery settin i see "active", what is it?
As you can see, sometimes wifi is off, display is off, tab is in standby but "attivo" in english active, is still running

B50 US TF, Wipe after update.
I have just suffered the boot loop. I had to push vol- and power to get into recovery. Once there I powered off, then on again, and everything went back to normal.
I don't beleive it has something to be with the dl. There's something wrong...

The battery was drain because the screen was on at asus logo for an hour or so and went from 76% to 34%. I don't think is a battery issue with ics, just freezing at one point with screen on.

It's definitely in the update, most probably the kernel, since the bug is triggered when the device enters the deep sleep state. And probably not an app, because even after a wipe and NOT configuring a Google Account, the problem persists.

I have a stock B50 which updated successfully, no reboots or power drain issues. Make sure the tab is fully charged and plugged in to the charger before updating, it takes a long time so be patient. When it's done, it will beep and show the lockscreen. I hope the root is not causing the problem.
Same problem here, had a boot loop a day or two ago just as described in the first post. No need to go to recovery, just held the power button in until the tablet switched off, then waited a few seconds, and powered back on. I hadn't shut it down before the issue started, though, it just spontaneously rebooted and got stuck in the boot loop by itself when I wasn't around. No idea how long it had been going when my wife found it.
Spontaneous reboots were *very* rare for me on Honeycomb, and I never saw a boot loop before at all
I'm on a stock, unrooted US-market TF101-B1, and wiped both before and after installing ICS. Barely any programs had been added to the stock install when the boot loop happened...
My wife's did this today. Never rooted, it got the OTA update to ICS yesterday with no factory reset, and had been running flawlessly until the bootloop this morning. I held the power button until it reset, its been fine since. It happened exactly as described in the OP. Something is broken in the ICS ROM.
Android with a Red Exclamation mark
When trying to Boot Up (Volume Up and hold with Power) All I ever get is the Android with a Red Exclamation mark,
yes is rooted
Am I doing something wrong?
Does it work prior this issue and what mod did you attempt to do before..?

did not work.
but I want to put a rom, and I like to do if I can get into boot
Easy fix this happened to me several months ago when I was testing different boot methods, it only takes like 5-10 minutes after downloading the files.
Follow this thread for repair:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23886238&postcount=1
Then you can use viperMOD for root it takes almost no time, but use option 1 (I know it says tf101 but it works I used it for both my tf101 and my wives).

Let me know if this works out for you!
All that is is is stock recovery. You just need to install CWM
Anyone had this problem and how did you fix it?

Happened to me during one of my times toying with the update. Restart your device and let it start over. Worked for me fine the 2nd time.
same problem, download was stuck at 99%, after a reboot the notification was gone, but also the update button is disabled...
Had this too - just rebooted and then checked for update again and it worked.

Yes, this worked for me too :good:
(took ages to install / boot the first time)
I don't like that they've removed the 3D effect from the home pages..
