[POSTED IN THE WRONG FORUM. REPOSTED @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174493]
Hello Folks,
I seem to have a problem and I can't find an answer in the forums.
I rooted my Asus Transformer with Android 3.1 using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125714
I only rooted the Transformer, I didn't install CWM. Everything was working fine until my overenthusiastic wife updated the tablet with the 8.4.4.11-20110711 update. Suddenly my tablet was unrooted again. I thought "No problem, no harm's done, I'll just reinstall the stock 3.1 and then root the device once again and just leave the new update for what it is for the moment."
The problem is that I can't get into APX mode anymore. When I try to start the device with vol+ and the power button, nothing's happening. Both buttons are working fine (neither's stuck). I thought that the device might just be showing me a blank screen but when I press and hold vol+ and the power button for 5, 10 or 30 seconds then wait 30 secs and start adb.exe it says my device isn't connected.
When I press vol- and the power button I do get the option to wipe all my data and factory reset (which I tried and is working).
When I press vol- and the power button then vol+ when it's booting to get into RCK (recovery kernel mode) I get a droid image with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark. Nothing happening.
Anyone got a clue what's going on and or how I can solve this issue?
The Transformer is working fine besides not being able to get into APX mode btw. I can use it, just can't root it anymore.
same situation here, just bought my eeePad today, updated to .11 version....now trying to root but can't figure out how...
I'm having the same problem. Brand new transformer, rooted it, and now I can't get it to boot past the splash screen. Tried putting it back into APX mode, and it doesn't work. Anyone find a solution to this?
I didnt even root mine and i have this ****ing problem -.-
Same problem..
You'll notice if you watch the device manager on windows, it flashes a refresh but the device doesn't show up. Looks like it's trying to work but doesn't catch..
SSame here after using Brk's on my 3.2 B70 tf101.
Same here. 3.1, rooted, CWM.
Same here on an Asus running Android 3.2.
Serial number B60KA.
Build number on mine is 8.6.5.9-20110816.
Anyone find a solution to this?
My friends tablet is at HTK75.US-8.6.5.13-20110925 and I just got it in to APX mode.
I had the Transformer turned off and plugged in, held vol up + power until I hear the first US notification noise and released the two buttons. The searching for drivers screen came up and it installed "Nvidia Bootloader Recovery" And now my safe to eject calls it APX.
I found if you hold the power and volume up for too long it messes things up.
Any news anyone? I would love to know how to do get into APX mode. The volume + and power is not working for me like the others (did it all conceivable ways).
APX already on
Hi, I solved this problem very easy.
Just connected my eeePad, installed the APX driver after Volume up and Power on Button and it was working. You will see nothing on eeePad screen. Just check the device manager on your computer.
I have flashed the CWM from TF201 by accident. Now the tablet is stuck in that CWM mode. I can't connect to usb using adb mode. Power+volume down does not work anymore. Any way I can reflash the correct CWM?
THanks
If you can boot to OS - you can use fastboot to flash any recovery.. or flash TWRP from goomanager.
upd: sry..don't see about "stuck".

I have made the same mistake. Although I can get the device to fastboot USB mode. I have tried to use CWM with the restore I made before I put in Cyanogenmod 9, as well as putting on the Cyanogenmod experimental #2 for TF300. No error messages at all and it wipes data and cash without any problems.
But I get locked on the Asus boot screen and it does not continue ie I am stuck as well.
I have as well tried to use the TWRP 2.1.5. I get the Teamwin loggo screen, it wipes all the data and verifies all the filesystems and reboots. Still stuck.
Is the device bricked ?
upd:The TF300 can not be shutoff either. When you hold the power button the screen goes black, but after ~5 s the device is starting again and is still stuck on the Asus bootup screen.
if you reboot it holding vol down and power, can you get back into the boot menu, to reselect fastboot?
if holding the power button doesn't switch it off, what happens if you leave it to run out of batteries then do this?
then you can flash the correct recovery.img

Yes, I can get access to the fastboot and I have already tried to flash with the recovery.img. I have as well let the battery run out and tried it once more with the same result.
Still stuck on the asus bootup screen.
power
Hare,
I have same problem.tab cannot power off. Just reboots into cwm.
I was thinking to drain bat. Thanks for sharing that info.
There are a lot of topics about people who broke their devices with TF201's recovery.
Afaik, no one recovered it. Send to Asus.
So the device is bricked then :'(.
Thanks for clearing it up.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
RMA..
Guillaume,
Thanks for clarification.
I have read that ASUS wants 700USD for replacing/reflashing the bootloader. That was for the tf201. Any way to nvflash it back to factory? I don't believe that they have to change the MB.
I have no warranty left, but I don't want to be gouged by them either.
Any thoughts, info?
Hi,
I've do the same mistake, but I can use adb.
Do youhave any news about our problem?
Thanks
Midyr
unable to power off
My issue is that I have the CWM for the tf201. I did the update from the CWM app in Android. Bad idea. So now the tab does not power off s.t. I can get into the power+vol down mode. Adb does not work since I cannot ( don't know how) to make it go into the usb debugging mode. I have tried several things none of which have worked. Still stuck.
I wanted some feedback for a RMA from ASUS, posted it here but sor far no answers.
Not sure if it would really work, but on my Evo, I don't have to completely power off the phone to do the recovery sequence. I can do it during a normal reboot. There is a point just before the device starts booting again where it is technically "off", and if I hold volume down (don't even have to hold power on my Evo; volume down seems to be the only necessary button) starting at this point, the phone will boot into the bootloader.
So, next time the device reboots, just start holding volume down (possibly power also, just in case) at the "off" point.
Hi All..
My TF300 is unlocked. I installed the new JB and then I was trying to install CWM. I used fastboot to push it to the device. When I rebooted, holding down the volume button, It came up to the menu with RCK, USB, etc. I selected wipe data by accident. It sat there for a while saying it was going to wipe and go into the boot loader. After a while I shut it off thinking it was hung. Now when I power on the device I get only the ASUS startup screen. Volume up or down don't affect the mode. It just says "The Device is Unlocked" at the top, and the static ASUS logo in the middle. When I plug in the USB to my Windows 7 computer I get nothing in the device listing. I can't even fully turn the device off. Holding power for a few seconds, it goes off, and then it comes right back on by itself.
I think I'm totally bricked, right? It won't even go into APX mode it appears.
thanks ...

When you hold down the power button to turn it off, as soon as the screen goes off, let go of the power button and hold the VOL up button. Wait a second or so and then let go of the VOL button. The tablet should go into APX mode. It can be quite hard to time it right, but the tablets screen should stay blank, without rebooting.
thanks for ur care
i forget to update the post ...sorry
.....i do that and my pc show apx driver but fastboot did not work ....
how can i use fastboot again to install bolb again ?????????
thanks in advance

I've been searching the web for two weeks - nobody has a solution !
I've tried everthing.
Asus has a way to reset the OS as several owners have sent their unlocked "Bricked" tablets to their service center.
Last repair I read online stated that Asus returned their TF300T with the latest version of JB installed.
Asus would be Wise to post a solution - Imagine the goodwill that would generate.
Many thanks...
Q:did asus change mother board?
Or it kind of software fixed
I read about SKB..... What sbk?
Messed up big time and have surely bricked my device (permanently). Was trying to install Omni ROM on it. (Had it rooted, unlocked it, couldn't enter recovery then, kept getting error. tried to flash TWRP recovery 2.6.3.0 using terminal on tab, reset the tab, and we get where i am now)
Now all i get when i switch on my tab is an ASUS start screen with "The device is unlocked" message on the top left, and it just stays there. Same thing happens when start it with hold power button and volume down key or reset and volume down key. But when i press reset and volume UP key, the pc recognizes the tab, and i can install the driver either as:
1. ADB interface
2. Bootloader interface
3. Composte ADB interface
and the device comes up as an APX.
Tried to follow Buster99's method (of unbricking for TF300T) after the device drivers are installed, but all i get is <waiting for device>
Any hope of recovering it or am i really fckd.

My ME310T is bricked as well and I am not sure of what to do since using the pin hole to reset does not work.
It kept booting to the ASUS logo and I downloaded software from the ASUS site and put on my SD card and tried to load the new firmware/software. Now I only get a green android on his back with a red brick.
Please help, thanks

Omnirom on ME301T,
Hi,
I have a working ME301T with the latest (yesterday!) Omnirom on it, but......
I broke the glass when I was opening the device to replace a broken speaker.
I found (google is my friend) that these broken speakers cause a crash or reboot every now and then, the rubber comes loose, then the winding cause a short circuit when playing music, that crashes the unit.
So if you want to take your speaker and screen, and use our electronics, you have a working unit again.
Send me a PM with an offer if you are interested.
Un saludo from Spain,

Hello,
i am new here on forum. I read alot threads about unbrick TF300T on this forum, but cant find answer for my problem.
My tablet is unlocked, rooted and had TWRP installed. When i try to use TWRP my tablet restarted and now i am stuck on boot screen.
Its screen with asus and nvidia logo with information that device is unlocked.
When i try connect tablet to pc, pc dont see it.
Power + Volume- dont work, no boot options - tried like 50 times
Power + Volume+ dont work, i think its for APX mode
Tried restart with restart hole under volume buttons.
I cant go to other screen just that one with logo. Even cant tablet shut down. When i press and hold power button it just restart and logo screen again.
Any ideas how to make it work again, or its completly broken?
Ty for your answers.
