I'm supposedly on fastboot mode. on the One x, I can run a command to confirm I'm connected but unsure what to do using the infinity since the fastboot commands is a different.
I ran this command "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging ebtblob.bin" (part of nvflash steps) and it's stuck at "waiting for device".
When connected to my windows laptop, it says "ASUS Android composite ADB interface" in device manager when booted normally. And it says "AsUS Android bootloader interface" when I'm supposedly in fastboot.
thanks

"fastboot devices" should show something. With the old bootloader, maybe just "???????? - device" - with a newer one, an actual serial number.
"fastboot continue" should continue booting Android, that would be a sign that the protocol basically works.

just says waiting for device.
tried:
1. fastboot continue
2. fastboot -i 0x0b05 continue
3. the nvflash command above
4. fasboot reboot
5. fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot
I was on 4.0.3 ICS before unlocking and I suppose still on 4.0.3 just unlocked. thanks!
My tf 700t is stop in a restarting loop until the battery is finished.... i have tried booting into recovery but the logo of the recovery TwRP apear and the tablet restarts itself to that point ,until the battery is dead.
Any sugestions?
the tablet is rooted and i was on KatKiss rom on the moment of the crash for about 5 months.

I'm having the exact same issue.
I can occasionally get into the bootloader, but when I try to get into TWRP it will show the logo page and will immediately restarts.
Following the link you sent, I tried the adb devices prompt, but it showed up blank. Do I need to be in TWRP for adb to work? When I try to get into TWRP it just restarts.
Not sure what my options are when the only screen I can get into is the fastboot.

If you can get into fastboot yours is a very different situation. But let me answer your questions first.
The linked method works if you have adb access in TWRP - however briely. Even if TWRP loops you should have adb access at some point (open Device Manager and watch for changes).
If TWRP is just bootlooping very quickly you may be out of luck but I have seen cases where a little window of adb access and careful timing of the commands let people push the file to internal and insmod it. But that depends on the nature of the bootloop, the skill of the user and persistence.
Now, if you have fastboot access you don't need any of that. In fastboot you have a pretty powerful tool to wipe and format partitions, flash the Asus blob if all fails, but you quite a few options....
If you can get "only occasionally" into the bootloader I would not wait much longer but perform a full wipe of the major partitions and flash the Asus system blob, returning the tablet to stock basically and giving you a fresh start.
We call it a @Buster99
Download the latest Asus firmware from here: https://www.asus.com/support/Download/28/1/0/11/fq2B3oq64av1O95u/8/
Extract it twice and copy the blob into your fastboot directory.
Issue these commands in fastboot one by one:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase cache
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
Good luck!
Thanks Berndblb. I downloaded the Asus firmware and was able to get the blob file.
But I'm fine with totally starting over and trying Buster99, but I'm still unable to get the ADB to see the device.
I've gone through the beginners guide to root and flashing a custom rom again, but I still can't see the device when I type in "fastboot devices".
If you have any advice or a guide on what I need to do get where I can use ADB to erase everything and start over again.
i cant do anything the tablet starts - shows asus logo-go to TWRP logo screen - restarts (all in 32 seconds). Any other sugestion? if i dismantle the tablet ? or anithing else?
Thank You

Either you do not have the correct driver installed or your usb cable is not original but a cheap "charge only" knockoff or try a different usb port or you are not open the cmd prompt from the fastboot directory or your usb port is busted.....
I don't know how to troubleshoot that from here....
Please search the TF700 forum or google "fastboot driver problems". That problem is so common, I really do not know what to add to advice that's out there a hundred times over....

You can always install a new r used mainboard, but that's the only reason to open it up....
Sorry man, if you do not have adb while the recovery is looping or starting up and you cannot get into fastboot, there's nothing you can do.....
Except for the really crazy and desperate "throw away reason" stuff of course. Like stuffing the tablet into the freezer in an airtight bag for 30 min, then try to boot it......
Thanks Berndblb, I was able to get through the Buster 99 instructions above.
Per the last step I would have expected the tablet to reboot, but that did not happen.
When I restarted it I got the following error when I tried to load Andriod "unrecoverable bootloader error".
I used the following file from the Asus website US_epaduser10_6_1_14_10_UpdateLauncher, based on the fact that my bootloader shows the tablet as "US_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801". Hopefully I used the right file for the blob file.
I've attached what I have from adb for the system flash blob and reboot. I tried to screen shoot it in a better format, but that didn't work.
Hopefully someone will be able to take a look and direct me in the right way to get this working again.

You used the correct file but I see a mistake in your command.
You put a space between the dash and the "i" in your command: fastboot - i 0x0B05 which is a command fastboot does not understand so it shows you the help file so to speak.
It is supposed to be fastboot -i 0x0B05.
See the difference?
Try it again and welcome to the world of the command line
A thousand thanks Berndblb. I was able to get it flashed and it back to the original firmware. Thought for a while, it was a total loss, so your advise was a big help.
On another note, I was having this issue with multiple custom roms, which leads me to believe it a hardware issue.
If I press on the screen too hard or lift it in a different angle, it will freeze up and try to reboot.
I was just able to get past the initial setup, but once I lifted the tablet up again, it did the same thing and froze.
I had basically been stuck, just using the tablet for strictly steaming purposes and leaving in on a table.
If anyone has had similar issues or has any insight let me know.
My wife is asking for a new Ipad if we can't get it to work properly, I'm still trying to convince her to stick with Android but this tablet isn't helping my case.

damn i feel so used
grats on getting it to work again.
in regard to the troubles you are still having: is it in the Keydock or without, also a possibility that the display has an issue with the digitizer and shortens out.
cheers
Buster
I typically use it without the dock. Haven't put it in the dock in a while. Yea I was thinking the same thing where maybe something is loose inside.
Short of changing out the whole digitizer, do you know of any trouble shooting I can do if I open it up? If it keeps doing this, the tablet itself isn't worth using often. I did have a gumdrop case on it most of the time. I've got a toddler, so wanted maximum protection for it. Maybe it overheated or something?
Check out some tear down videos on YouTube and iFixit, then open it up and check all connectors you can get your hands or tools on. It does sound as if you gave a connection shorting out.

I also got into a bootloop situation and was unable to connect via adb (adb usb gave me "error: device not found") but fastboot was ok. So I tried the @Buster99 rescue. Unfortunately it failed at the flash system blob step. It gave "FAILED (data transfer failure (unknown error))...".
It's been too long since I used adb and fastboot. Lately my TF700T had become erratic, unstable and experiencing sudden reboots so I wanted to format data and do clean re-install of KatshMallow #29. I also had discovered that the digitizer had developed a blind-spot, actually more of a whole blind column of about a quarter inch wide, giving me problems swiping a TWRP button to unlock the screen. So, I went to change TWRP's screen timeout setting (TWRP 2.8.4.0 Kang) to max when suddenly it rebooted into a system bootloop. Going to TWRP would go to bootloop again at the TWRP splash screen.
Alas, I must have forgotten to set the USB debug mode after the last flashing as I am now locked out of adb. That's how I got into this unfortunate situation.
Any ideas, short of replacing TF700T's mb? Looks like this is the end of a long journey with my TF700T! :crying:

Did you ever get it fixed? I'm in the same situation. Can't enter recovery or fastboot. Well, I entered fastboot once, chose recovery, now it boot loops straight to recovery. This sucks. Tablet worked fine for months.
If you can't boot into fastboot and you do not have adb access when in recovery, you're done. Nothing left to do.
You did not mention if you are unlocked. With a locked bootloader you can't do anything even if you have adb in recovery or if you could boot to fastboot. Sorry
It is unlocked and rooted. I see something showing up in Device Manager, only it says Google Nexus ADB interface. I can also enter the other mode with Power and Vol Up. This mode holds, however, not sure if I can do much from there.
Now I got TWRP screen stuck, so at least it's not looping. But adb commands don't produce any effect.

With TWRP booted, do you see the adb recovery interface in device manager and what do you get with "adb devices"? Do you have the drivers installed?

This is the only thing I see in Device Manager: Google Nexus ADB interface. I installed the Universal Drivers.
When I type adb devices, I get nothing.
Well, this one time I got this:
adb devices
List of devices attached
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
We're trying to install a GSI ROM. We get the error FAILED (remote: 'partition table doesn't exist')
We ran
Code:
fastboot getvar all
and see all of the partition tables listed or at least most of them. We do not see a system partition listed.
Why would this be? If I create one, how would I do that? How would I get the correct size? I'm assuming
Code:
fastboot create-logical-partition [NAME SIZE]
?
Does anyone know if I cannot boot into fastbootd and only boot into fastboot, am I still able to create a partition? It seems this device is boot looped. I haven't been able to boot into recovery. I can only get fastboot and EDL modes. Stock firmware is not available.
Starting with Android 10 fastboot got moved to Android's user-space, what requires this pair of commands
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
fastboot reboot fastboot
to get fastboot working.

Thank you for the reply. I do understand that part, however I cannot get into adb. If it is stuck in a bootloop, how can I access adb?
The bootloader is unlocked and oem debugging is on. It is a Moxee M2160 MH-T6000 Qualcomm QM215. We cannot find any stock firmware for it.
