Stuck no recovery. No nothing.

I have a sl101. I only get eeepad screen. My son did something to the machine. I can get it to say booting recovery but nothing happens. I also can get a text that says cold booting Linux. Again nothing happens. Nvflash says USB write fail. But when I check adb the device is recognized. Is there a way for me to adb push a recovery in there for me to boot too, so I can reflash a rom. I have a little dilema here. I also was wondering if I can flash rom thru adb. I read once that's how they used to do it on g1. I don't know if I am speaking accurately though. Any kind of light shed on me will be greatly appriciated

not sure about the slider but i had a customer return yesterday with this exact issue on the tf101 and i couldnt get out of it. the tf just kept switching itself back on and getting stuck on the splash screen.
found this set of instructions but im not sure if its what you need or if it will work:
http://androidroot.mobi/technical/asus-eee-pad-transformer-tf101-root-cwm-recovery/
good luck

That is exactly what is going on with mine. The slider is basicly the same thing. I plug it in and I tries to boot. I thought you had to be booted into recovery or the rom for adb to work? That's why I believe this method you just revealed to me. Or some variation of it will work. I will be trying shortly.

nvflash if your TF101 is compatible model.. (must B60 and below).
Or read Wolf's thread HERE. It might helped everyone here..

Thanks but everything needs adb connexion and as apx is not working, i can't connect ADB..
I have a B50 model

Nobody have a clue ?
well, I have to send it back to my reseller that will change it but before that I need to delete clockwork mode or brick it, how can i do ?
I tried every thread here, update rom does nothing, looks like it does not write anything on the tablet
Thanks in advance

try to follow this procedure...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25636698&postcount=5
let me know

Hello, thanks, but as I can't get to apx mode, I can't use nvflash, so still stuck with my recovery, I tried to modify super Wipe package to do things but can't get through...
If someone can make a package to delete recovery, then I can try it on my tablet, I really yneed it to be bricked cause now it load with Rogue's recovery on and on, so the reseller will new it has been modified and I will have to pay to get it back ...
Thanks in advance

with the procedure posted in the previous link you don't need APX mode and don't need NVflash...
Just boot your TF in recovery mode and plug it to your pc...
remove all previous drivers and install the new one that you can find in the post
ciao
ps... at the end of the procedure you will have your TF101 with stock rom and stock recovery

I will try but even when I am on recovery, nothing appears in Hardware management, no recognition from My computer, still strange... And when I power + vol down key, It never says to presse vol up in the text in the upper left corner, just says booting linux kernel...
When I try to boot pressing vol up + power, nothing happens, not even the clics that can be heard when it powers up...

I had a similar issue when I used SuperWipe and discovered my ROM on the external SD Card could not be accessed by CWM
I tried pushing the file with adb but kept receiving errors - protocol, etc. I suspected it was a driver issue along with the fact that 64 bit systems don't always play nicely with drivers. I actually dug up an old hard drive and did a very basic install of 32bit Win7. I booted the Transformer into CWM and when I connected it to my PC - I pointed it to the universal naked driver. I was then able to successfully push the rom to internal storage and used CWM to flash it

Hello,
I tried to connect my tablet to an old Windows 2000, but still nothing happens

Hello every one, I finally sendt back my transformer to my reseller, now I can buy a new one...
Thanks again

[Q] Request for assistance with bricked tf300t

Reading through different forums I have read problems similar to mine but nothing exactly the same. I followed each fix anyway but I have not been successful.
The last thing I remember I did before the brick, I flashed CWM touch then CyanogenMod 9. I am unsure what occurred but I tried to flash back to my JB backup and the problem started.
Now my tablet comes on and just hangs on the Asus splash screen. If I turn the tablet off, it automatically comes back on.
I have tried to turn the tablet off and boot into recovery but it just boots back up to the splash screen and hangs; I have no option to go into recovery, android or fastboot.
I can get into what I think may be USB mode by pressing power and volume up through a couple of cycles; my computer detects a device but I cannot load drivers.
I have downloaded the Android USBPCdrivers but each time I try to navigate to the folder to install the device manager fails.
If anyone has any thoughts I would appreciate any assistance, thanks for your time!
UPDATE TO ORIGINAL POST
I as able to finally get my computer to recognize the tf300t in device manager by wiping all the usb drivers and installing "Universal Naked Driver 0.7" posted by 1wayjonny from XDA's website http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1766220, not sure if it matters my computer "sees it" as a ASUS transformer prime rather than tf300t.
Now I am reviewing an ASUS unbrick called Wheelie http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1687285, I believe this is geared towards the tf101. Anyone have any thoughts based on my status at this point? Thanks

If you are on JB stock, there is no way to flash a booting Cyanogen 9 ot 10 Rom.
Only Hydro JB is running!!!! And JB Stock.
1st of all you have to download a special Recovery. I highly recommend TWRP. You have to dl the JB version!!!!!
Flash it through fastboot. Then flash the Stock JB via TWRP recovery
Then flash TWRP again via fastboot.
Than flash The Hydro JB rom
Then reboot
Then go back to recovery
Then flash the latest Hydro update and reboot
You are like me stuck on the f...... new JB Bootloader and Kernel. All other roms are for the ICS Bootloader and Kernel, so no way of getting them running until the Cyanogen devs finding a solution.

Fastboot not an option
Thanks for getting back with me.
Fastboot is not an option for me; the tablet hangs on the splash screen.
I can get into the usb mode but I am unable to locate any APX codes to push anything over. The only codes I can find are for tf100 & 200 moddels.
Any thoughts?

You're hosed.
The developers that worked on the prior TF units' nvflash said the development isn't done on the TF300 yet. And, even if it was, you needed to perform some steps prior to bricking the device to make APX accessible after a brick. If your device is bricked already, your only recourse is to send it to Asus and eat the $197 fee to have your motherboard replaced.

i have the same problem, and only APX mode is accessible, (no fashboot, recovery..) can get chip ID from APX mode, that is all,
should i wait for the nvflash rom(about 3-4 weeks, is that right?), or paid for this? (replace the motherboard)

Waiting for nvflash won't do you any good since you needed to have it BEFORE bricking your tablet. If your tablet is already bricked, APX/nvflash will not help you.

He could still try sending it for RMA. Mine got repaired for free for some reason.

An unusual Asus TF300T brick
Yeah, I'm having problems with my TF300T, too. I had CWM installed, but when I tried to flash a new ROM, I bricked it. No problem, I had figured it out before. But when I was in the bootloader, I inadvertantly erased instead of selecting the USB. Now, All I get when I try to boot up is the white ASUS screen with;
The Device is Unlocked
Android cardhu-user bootloader <2.0 e> released by "ww_epad-9.4.3.26-20120416" A03
Checking for android ota recovery
Booting recovery kernel image
My computer sees the tablet. The Device Manager shows: Asus Transformer Prime APX Interface
But it only shows up when I reset. As soon as I try to boot the tablet, it no longer sees it. I can't access the bootloader and Fastboot doesn't do anything except "waiting for device".
SO! If anyone can give me some help, I'd appreciate it. It's a puzzle for ya, anyway.
Thanx

As your last resort, this worked for me

Potentially F'ed TF300T

I was wiping my tab getting ready to sell it to my cousin. I was in recovery TWRP 2.22 I think. I walked away when my 4 yr son got a hold of it. I came back to see he wiped everything meaning the system. So tried to recover from my nandroid back up but it was gone with everything on my internal SD. I tried mounting the tab to my PC to transfer the old ROM back on but it wouldn't see it with any drivers I've tried. I also tried putting it on my microSD that was in there and it's also not being seen by TWRP 2.22.
I tried to fastboot flash the OEM JB ROM on it when all else failed in TWRP recovery. That didn't work. I tried flashing a CWM recovery to see if it would work better than the old TWRP I had. But after flashing that, my tab won't boot to fastboot and goes in a constant boot loop lol. SMFH at this madness. When the until turns on, it shows the device is unlocked. If I hold the vol down, it will say it's going to recovery then restarts every time no matter what. All I want to do is see if this is even remotely possible to recover from. If not this joint is going on Feebay to game some cash back. So if anyone has any good idea's. I'm open to whatever. What's he worst that can happen. My tab becomes an even bigger bricked unit lol.

Anybody know what options I got? I've read through many threads and none seem to have the answer I'm looking for.

So you extracted the blob file from the Asus official firmaware and flash system blob in fastboot? And that failed?

Yeah I tried that about 40 times. On 3 PCs with the Asus transformer pad usb drivers on all. I could fastboot TWRP latest recovery then it caused my tab to go into a endless boot loop. I can't get into fastboot mode no more.

Does it get recognized by the PC? Check Device Manager and see if its recognized. If it is and it has an alert (meaning it needs troubleshooting) right click the device update driver and when it asks you select the option where you search manually through a list of drivers. In there try looking for android ADB driver should be one of the first, install it and try again.

It shows up as Asus ADB Interface. But as soon as I attempt to get the to get back to fastboot or even recovery it reboots. So I think the system is dead because nothing I've read seems to be related or can help this system out.

Don't know if this will help, but have you tried the hard reset button?

Where's that? I know that's a potentially a [email protected] question but I didn't realize there was a hard reset button.

I tried that hard reset button and it doesn't help. But I managed to put the tablet in a state where it's recognized by my PC looking for a APX driver. Then I found a Asus APXusb driver but still don't know what I can do from here. After installing the driver. I still can't fastboot or adb to the device. So again I think this tab is a brick.

[Q] Bricked TF300TG

Hello all,
I seem to have really soft bricked my TF300TG. I've now run out of ideas and maybe someone in here can help.
The following happend: I wanted to update my rooted TF300TG from running JB (CleanRom 3.0.4) with Bootloader ww_epad_10.4.3.9 to the current stock Rom from ASUS ( V10.6.2.6 ). I did unzip the zip from ASUS once and used the resulting zip for the flash.
I attemted this via Method 3: TWRP v. 2.5.0.0, following this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187982), guess I should have read the whole thread, not just the first 20 pages.
What happend was, that during the flash in TWRP I got an error with no error message. I tried to flash again for three times with the "same" error. Thats when I panicked and rebooted the device.
Since then its sitting here, just showing the ASUS logo and doing nothing. I think I understand why its doing nothing since I have still the old bootloader v 10.4.3.9 but a new 4.2 Stock ROM (albeit maybe damaged).
Sadly I have also had no success communicating with the device via ADB or Fastboot.
I still can access the bootloader menue which shows 4 icons: RCK, Android, USB and Wipe. But: the volume up key is not working (did work in Android though) and the volume down key traverses the item entries. So I have no way to select USB which should put me into fastboot mode.
Does anyone have any idea? Otherwise I'm declaring this my last Android tablet (loved it but it didn't quite live up to expectations, Tegra 3 just sucks) and move on.
Thanks for reading!

Try resetting the device (the little hole beneath the volume rocker and try to get to fastboot. there is no real reason other than broken PITs or trashfiles in /misc that should prevent you form getting fastboot.

Hi buster,
thanks for the reply. Sadly I can't seem to enter fastboot since "fastboot erase system" stays at "waiting for device" when I reset the device with a paper clip and press the volume down button.
I'm trying this on linux but that should be a plus versus using windows.

I have the same problem. Difference is that I did a reset after a failed install of CM11. Stuck at ASUS splash. Cannot access recovery or any other option that was previously available. Nothing is detecting the device as it sits...Tried Ubuntu, Win 7, Win 8.1. I have tried installing all drivers I could find, even tried installing as legacy device, but all drivers give an error that device cannot start. Did A LOT of searching around, and it seems to come down to the tablet not being detected by PC in the state it's in. Seems like there is a lot of help out there for folks that can get their computers to at least see the device.
Would die for some help!

CWM from probably close to a year ago. I attempted to use Rom Manager to flash a newer recovery that would work with CM11, and got stuck in a bootloop. Then I stupidly did a factory reset from boot menu . Wish there was a way around this...and I think I could work some magic if I could get a computer to detect the brick.

Since i have apx access, i'm assuming the data side of the cable is working...plus, without being able to get into adb/fastboot on the tablet a new cable would be useless. Thinking about getting a mobo on ebay...one for 50 and one for 75$ i think. will have to get wife's approval first

Wipe data from the bootloader erases everything, if you don't have nvflash blobs I think you're done for.

"bootloader wipe data" soft brinks your tab.
always use custom recovery or fastboot to wipe the tf300t.
otherwise you need to erase all partitions and reflash recovery and start from scratch. assuming that fastboot still works.

Boot loader wipe is a hard(ish) brick unless you have nvflash blobs since all you have access to is apx mode, no boot loader, no recovery, etc.

not necessarily, I did it for cm10.1 (drunken flashing not advised ) and i don't have an NV backup.

but things may have changed since then.

[Q] Bricked TF700

Hi.
I own a TF700T and seems to have bricked it. Last status was: I had the latest stock ROM with root running and wanted to get a CM11 based 4.4.2 image from here. I downloaded it and used rom manager to get it installed. But the install script failed at some point and I thought the recovery might be outdated. So I used ROM Manager to update recovery... I tried CWM and TWRP option. Finally I booted up into recovery trying again to install those damn rom - I used the option to wipe all data / settings from the main menu and tried again to install the ROM which again failed (I do not remember the error message clearly). I gave up. I used the "reboot" option.
Now:
- Powering up gets me into the screen with the ASUS logo (left upper corner says "the device is unlocked"). Here it is stuck forever.
- Power + Vol-Down is same as just Power - I do not get into flashboot with those 3 small icons... I just get the ASUS logo and nothing else happens. Reset hole does not change situation. The device is pretty much "always on" now (till battery is exhausted) as long-press Power turns off and immediately on again
- Only thing that seems to work: Power + Vol-Up ends up in APX mode - my computer recognizes the device via USB at this point
Unfortunately I never did any set up to nvflash.
Do I have any chance to get this thing alive again?
Thanks a lot in advance,
q2.

Unfortunately ROM Manager does not work with the TF700 and you are not the first one to find out the hard way...
If you cannot find a way to boot into the bootloader to have fastboot, there's nothing you can do anymore without the NVflash blobs.
Did you try holding Vol - and then pressing the reset button in that little pinhole on the side of the tablet?
If you have ADB drivers installed on your PC you could try if you can establish an ADB connection at any point. If you did, you could issue the command: "adb reboot bootloader", which would enable you to flash a recovery and/or bootloader. This probably won't work since you need to be in the recovery or have Android booted for ADB to work, but worth a try anyway...
Admittedly these are very thin straws - but what have you got to loose?
Also: Just a few days ago a user here was stuck on a bootloop to recovery and couldn't get out of it. He left it alone overnight and all the sudden the bootloop sorted itself out... I have no explanation for it and it is unlikely to happen in your case, but you never know...
Good luck!

Thanks for replying.
Yes, I did keep Vol-Down (means Vol-Left) pressed while pinching the reset button. It did not help.
I will experiment a bit more. It's not really a boot "loop" - it gets stuck at the ASUS logo and this does not change anymore. Not overnight.
So far I could only see it being recognized as USB device in APX mode. Can you give me a bit background here? I have nvflash here. The blobs are not available anywhere on the net? Or why is that all a big fuzz? I used to have a Notion Ink Adam and APX saved my life several times, but the blobs were available to everybody. Nobody has the blobs here? Or are they device-specific?
I cannot believe that a today's device with a non-bricked bootloader and working APX is totally lost and even the manufacturer will only offer a costly RMA to replace the whole mainboard!?
Best regards,
q2.

I will experiment a bit more. It's not really a boot "loop" - it gets stuck at the ASUS logo and this does not change anymore. Not overnight.
So far I could only see it being recognized as USB device in APX mode. Can you give me a bit background here? I have nvflash here. The blobs are not available anywhere on the net? Or why is that all a big fuzz? I used to have a Notion Ink Adam and APX saved my life several times, but the blobs were available to everybody. Nobody has the blobs here? Or are they device-specific?
I cannot believe that a today's device with a non-bricked bootloader and working APX is totally lost and even the manufacturer will only offer a costly RMA to replace the whole mainboard!?

For the TF700 the nvflash blobs are device specific - sorry.

Damn. That was the only answer I didn't want to read
Thanks a lot. So chances are gone, only RMA could help... I will ask friendly at Asus what costs they will charge...

Update:
Reply is here.
They only want to exchange mainboard. They of course know (and it seems that this is the only thing they know) that my bootloader was unlocked, therefore this is no case of guarantee for them. I know, I wrote to them that I just want to know how much they wanna charge me to fix this issue.
But: they don't want to tell me how much. They say they do not even know which revision and what hardware is inside my tablet, not even from my serial number. And I must first send them my tablet and they will charge me 95 Euro to check what's going on. And then they will tell me how much it will cost (and according to other threads I saw prices of over 400 Euro for a mainboard change - the TF701 successor model cost 450 Euro new in store)...
I somehow feel the need to reply that if they would've put only half the energy the put into logging who has unlocked the bootloader into the fact of making APX usable as a emergency recovery (as obviously not even Asus is able to generate a working blob for my device), they would have higher customer satisfactory statistics. I still just cannot believe a today's device lacks of all recovery options after a bootloader fails for some reason - as well as I cannot understand why Koush did not display a warning in ROM manager if problems are known to the community with this specific device (I mean the problem did not arise last week and ROM manager had tenths of updates since then).
I know that in the end all was my fault. And all flashing is done on our own risk. I will have to deal with it.
Phew...

Unlucky. It should be be stickied here somewhere that ROM Manager bricks the TF700 but then there is no guarantee it would be read. It is well known on this forum but that doesn't help people that don't visit frequently.
You can replace the mainboard yourself fairly easily. Watch the you tube vids on how to do it,. That is what I would do if I was in your position.

Is there a way to backup my blobs before I leave all stock then?

Hi.
I own a TF700T and seems to have bricked it. Last status was: I had the latest stock ROM with root running and wanted to get a CM11 based 4.4.2 image from here. I downloaded it and used rom manager to get it installed. But the install script failed at some point and I thought the recovery might be outdated. So I used ROM Manager to update recovery... I tried CWM and TWRP option. Finally I booted up into recovery trying again to install those damn rom - I used the option to wipe all data / settings from the main menu and tried again to install the ROM which again failed (I do not remember the error message clearly). I gave up. I used the "reboot" option.
Now:
- Powering up gets me into the screen with the ASUS logo (left upper corner says "the device is unlocked"). Here it is stuck forever.
- Power + Vol-Down is same as just Power - I do not get into flashboot with those 3 small icons... I just get the ASUS logo and nothing else happens. Reset hole does not change situation. The device is pretty much "always on" now (till battery is exhausted) as long-press Power turns off and immediately on again
- Only thing that seems to work: Power + Vol-Up ends up in APX mode - my computer recognizes the device via USB at this point
Unfortunately I never did any set up to nvflash.
Do I have any chance to get this thing alive again?
Thanks a lot in advance,
q2.

Unfortunately I'm stuck in same boat I tried to wipe out settings completely and clockwork mode was stuck and I was able to wipe recovery with TWRP or so I thought tried to reboot into recovery got stalled and now stuck on asus screen. I'm not opposed to buying a new motherboard but I find it very hard to believe that no one has come up with a solution to flashing the mainboard with the original firmware. I'm tempted to ask asus but I know the bill will be more then the tablet. Did you find an easier solution or do I just have to swap out the mainboard?

Thanx, but it seems like to backup blobs I have to do the very thing that will risk me needing backup of my blobs? ... install a custom bootloader before I have a backup?
Is this right?
Is this a safer method?

That's correct. You have to flash a modified bootloader and recovery. Done correctly this is not risky at all. But if there is a single line in the instructions you are not sure you understand, you are not quite ready.
There are quite a few tutorials on flashing in fastboot on this forum. Read them.
But generating your nvflash blobs you have to do without a safety net. It's worth it though! I have become much more adventurous with my tablet since I have the blobs squared away...

How do you define risk?
Flashing a bootloader (without having nvflash access) is always risky by my definition, it *can* permabrick your tablet if something goes wrong at the wrong moment. But it's the best we have.
