TF300T can't startup anymore

Something went wrong while flashing CWM on my TF300T. It showed successful in cmd window on pc, but the statusbar on my pad kept showing 100% but nothing happend (no message or automaticly rebooting). After waiting 10 minutes or so, I turned off the device and restarted it.
Now the device is not started up anymore, keeps stuck on message:
"The Device is Unlocked".
When I try te start it up in Fastboot ( pwr+vol down) the screen get stuck on message:
"The Device is Unlocked.
Android cardhu-user bootloader <2.10 e> released by "ww_epad-9.4.3.29-20120511" A03
Checking for android ota recovery
Booting recovery kernel image"
Now the pad is not starting up the ROM and I can't get in fastboot mode anymore.
The solutions given in other treads about a simular problem, you need to put your pad into USB mode.
But that is not posible anymore.
Is there any other solution for this problem??
Thanks guy's

problem
I also have the same brick .... like it ....

Hello,
me too...
Tablet starts always automatically into CWM recovery.
Fastboot and ADB doesnt work either...
Could it be ADB isnt working because debugging mode isnt activated?
But how can I change without a working android?
Is there someone out there who can help me out of this problem?
Or is RMA the only solution?
But I dont want to send my transformer to asus so they can change the motherboard. Its only a software problem...
Can someone help me? Please

Give it what it is looking for and hope for the best. Stock update ( ww_epad-9.4.3.29-20120511 ) If when plugged into pc you have access to internal sdcard put it there, if not put it on external sdcard and reboot unit. If that does not load update try to get into fastboot as you mention above maybe it will install from there since it tells you ( Checking for android ota recovery ).
Good Luck!
If you downloaded the file from asus you will need to unzip once and still have a zip but slightly different name!

Hello tobdaryl,
thanks for your answer!
Unfortunately I dont have access to internal sdcard... also I cant get into fastboot mode...
I think ADB could help, but I cant get ADB to work. I have to activate usb debugging, right?
But how could I do without starting Android?

place it on external sdcard if you can't access internal. if this works you don't need adb or fastboot. we are trying to let your unit update for you and clear your problem. as far as fastboot I'm only suggesting do as you said about trying to go into fastboot as when you received the message about update.
sounds harder than it is.
place update on external sdcard. reboot, if no love reboot into fastboot as when you received update message. at that point we hope your unit will auto install the update for you.
time is all you might loose.
Good Luck!:good:

You can get into recovery via ADB, Download the USB drivers for your device and then get the Android SDK tools, you can read up how to do that, then get into your platform tools folder, get a cmd prompt going, turn it on, and type "adb reboot recovery" as fast as you can before it freezes.

Don't know if you're still having the same problem but if so, you're in luck. I have the same tablet, what I did to restore mine was to download livesuit to flash a recovery image onto your device. Of course everything will be deleted but once you're back into your tablet you can put all your apps back on &/or your custom rom. I was able to get CM10 onto mine running very smoothly so I recommend iit.
Anyway, use the recovery image for the ly-f1 tablet. It's exactly like the stealth pro trio tablet so you can use the same things. Just google "ly-f1 recovery image" download a good one and open it up in livesuit. After that you're gonna wanna put your tablet into download mode.To do that you wanna make sure the tablet is off. Plug your usb in. Press and hold the volume down button on your tablet while pressing the power button about 10 times or at least until you hear your computer respond. Livesuit will guide you there rest of the way. It's really simple.
GOOD LUCK.

Hi, I'm kinda of a noob at this stuff, but I've learned quite a bit recently from just reading around, so bear with me if I don't understand or need more specific instructions. I have the trio stealth pro 7 and it is always stuck on the boot screen with the android logo when I boot. I was attempting to flash cm9 on the tablet but after I wiped the tablet initially, i couldnt find the cm9 rom on my internal memory while in recovery mode, so I ended up turning off my tablet, which now doesn't boot up anymore (stuck with android logo). I found a fix where you can use livesuite and adb to fix this issue; however, after installing adb, my tablet is not being detected, (my phone does). My tablet is not being recognized by windows in general, and it doesn't show up under device manager. There was one part of the step where I need to install usb drivers for the tablet; however, I cant find any online. I have used the tablet before with my computer before the attempt to flash cm9, so I am guessing drivers should already be installed. I feel I can get this issue fixed if I can just get adb to recognize my tablet. Perhaps this fix is not the one I need and maybe there's a simpler fix. I'm just too dumb to have realized it. Another note to add is, pressing the combination of power and volume buttons does nothing. Please help!!! thank you!!

stock images download
Hi guys ... Trio tablet Is similar or the same as Ly-F1 tablets :cyclops: these stock images will work and can be downloaded from link bekow.. make sure you download live suite first, applicable drivers (adb/fastboot) and you should be good . Follow directions accordingly and as reminder ,, :highfive: ,,, flashing / adb / sdk should only be used by advanced users who are comfortable using the SDK ADB flash tools.. . I am in no way responsible for bricked devices... Happy Flashing. :cyclops:

Can you get into the recovery menu and do factory reset or anything else??
I guess you've tried resetting via the reset button?
There doesn't appear to be a stock rom available for the GS-918 on the Dopo website, have you contacted them to see if they are able to help?
You could try leaving the tablet on when it freezes until the battery runs right down and it turns off, then put it on charge and try it again, not much else I can think of at the moment

yes i can do everything but it doesn't fix anything :C
and yes, i've tried the ressetting via reset button.
i can swear you there is no dopo GS-918 model drivers or rom in the whole web u.u
I contacted them but they only told me about the recovery menu, and i send them a question but they haven't answered me yet.
((((
now the pc recognizes the tablet via usb, well, it recognized first like vid_1f3a_pid_efe8_driver, then it disappeared and recognized a M3-CHIP driver but with errors (The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
There are no compatible drivers for this device.
To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver, blabla.)
so i think i need to find the M3-CHIP driver isn't?
EDIT:
I let the battery ran out, and now shows me the box that says: Android is upgrading, Optimizing app 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 of 39, but never pass the 7 now, then i restart the tablet againt, and say: optimizing app 20 of 23, but it freezes,then i restart the tablet... againt, and say: optimizing app 1 of 7, i restart again the tablet, and then it freezes in the first logo forever, the end :C
So, i think one of those last applications is creating the conflict
EDIT 2:
so, now im stuck in the system recovery, i choose reboot system now, and again, i am in System recovery , even if i only press the + volume or -, with the tablet off, it boots automaticly the system recovery :S

I think its banjaxed mate, I think your only hope is if the manufacturer is willing to help you, there are no files available anywhere that I can find, the only thing that might have fixed it is a factory reset, and I guess that is not working from your recovery menu?
Is it out of the question to return it to Dopo?
I suppose you could try running the battery right down again, then leaving it for a while and then restarting again, and keep doing that in the hope that it fires up as its supposed to, but to be honest I have my doubts that it will.
Sorry I cant be of any more help.

The factory reset on these models (DOPO/nobis/apex) only re-initialize the data/cache partitions it will not touch/fix the system partition.
Based on the gist of the initial post -- the only solution is to send the tablet to the factory so that they can reload the firmware.
I am in the same boat right now...
Originally I had some file system errors on the internal nand (on APEX GS-918) that caused the boot animation to loop endlessly -- because I had 'USB Debugging' enabled' I was able to open a adb shell
and run fsck/e2fsck and fix it.
But I have a similar problem now (possibly due to adding an option in build.prop) and also disabled 'USB Debugging' and
I can no longer use adb to open a shell during the boot logo.
PS: I hate to necro a thread -- but people need to know that the issue, described, is by-design........they want you to send it in the factory.
When doing a factory reset, any respectable stock recovery, should restore the system partition.
PPS: I do not believe you can install and update in the stock recovery that attempts to write to the system partition.
I believe that can only be handled by using various amlogic tools (such as amlogic usb burning tool, which requires the firmware image that we don't have)

[Q] Urgent! Stuck at bootloader but cant do anything

Hi u all!
First of all thank you for your time and sorry for my english, I speak spanish.
I have a nexus s i9023. I was using CyanogenMod 11 experimental 24042014.
I was having many problems and decided to downgrade to the stable version 10.1.2
It downloaded ok, installed all the updates, rebooted and then got stuck in the logo screen when booting.
The problem is that my nexus s has a broken the power button, it doesn't work.
As for right now the olny thing I can do is to enter the bootloader screen, but cant move throgh the options with the volume keys, it's like its stuck.
If I plug in the device when in the bootloader (fastboot mode) screen my PC doesn't recognice it, I search in the device manager but it doesn't appear.
If it helps when I plug in the battery the phone starts on in it's on.
Please, any help is appreciated.
Im really sad because I love my nexus.
Thank you!!!

Same here. Any help for us would be great. Thanks.

Seems like a driver issue. Can you try installing the drivers in a different system?
If it goes well, then use install cwm touch recovery from fastboot. You can take backup and flash new ROMs after that.
Try Nexus Root Toolkit to install drivers if you don't have access to a different system.

Don't I need to have android debugging enabled? If so, I don't think Nexus Root Toolkit will work. I flashed a ROM to my NS4g & I get boot loops. I flashed the wrong Gapps a few months ago.
I was hoping there would be a way to automatically turn android debugging on. I know it may sound dumb & also probably impossible.
Any other tips.
Tell me I'm screwed. Haha.

I disabled USB debugging. Rebooted to bootloader. Fired up 'fastboot devices' on cmd and could see my phone. This tells me that I do not need USB debugging on fastboot.
If you see an unknown device in Device Manager while in fastboot then use Universal Naked Driver to install the drivers. But since you don't, you'll need another PC to do this stuff. Once drivers are installed, you can do a 'fastboot reboot recovery' to get into recovery and fix the the problems. The first thing I advice is to flash a touch recovery. The rest is up to you.

Flash back the original soju firmware back onto your device by first using "nexus s root toolkit v.1.8.2 by wugfresh". It may take a little of your time downloading the roms and installing the drivers but trust me it should be working and your phone will boot into stock android 4.1.2. You can then root your device and install custom recovery as normal. Anything do pm me :laugh: ps, click the bricked option one the software is loaded up and remember to connect your device only and remove other phones from your computer

I have rooted the phone and I can get into fastboot mode but fastboot.exe just hangs at waiting for device.
I think this is a driver issue as in device manager in windows I have "Android" listed with no driver. I have downloaded fastboot and adb drivers but this has not worked.
Is there another driver I need for this to work with a Vodafone Smart 4 Turbo?
Thanks.

Bump anyone?

I did it via vroot .

Question: how can i readd the clock & weather widget? I removed it from the homescreen and can't see it in the widget list. Only reset to factory?

Depends on your phone-revision.
If it's 890N, it's more or less not possible.

Tried every root app
ive tried every root option i know to root this phone 890n 4.4.4 and nothing works,cant even get it to connect to adb as it goes into fastboot mode only if you remove battery and plug usb in but it only says fastbootmode and no other options and when its like that adb cany see device, it does when phone switched on gives serial number. im stuck. Anyone had any luck yet or still no joy?

when you said you got into fastboot mode, did it just say fastboot mode or did it give you options? mine just says fastboot mode which is no good as it doesnt give options to start fastboot its because vodafone or coolpad have messed about with it that much its useless. ive just had a reply off coolpad americas as i sent email there didnt know uk address but they said there waiting for a reply from uk counterparts and then theyll sent me source code and other tools for phone.(we'll see if they do).
i thought bootloader was locked on these phones or is it because some have 4.4.4 firmware it cant be rooted as a lot with 4.4.2 firmware have confirmed root?

I dont have this phone anymore.
I never did manage to try other kernels etc

My friend has this phone, rooted via kingroot. Any custom roms (esp cyanogenmod) out for it? BTW, cant find any custom recovery, pls post links to them if you can find any thanks

2017 still main phone
Rooted it & took Gapps & everything off...still using it daily for surfing sessions.
Have the 7 version which is just as excellent...waiting for an easy root method, but I think they're being locked tight.
Would be nice to have an option in 'developer' section that pops up after 3 months & offers root...,....
