Hi , my tf700 is bricked, there is no way to unbrick it?
i cant get to recovery, only apx and i don't know what is nvflash backup.
I don't think there is a way you could unbrick it (except for a MB replacement!)
We on the tf300t forum are also having this problem when flashing something wrong! APX mode is pretty much worthless!

You can't buy a motherboard yourself you have to send it to ASUS and let it be replaced! the price: depending on how big your storage is!: around the same price as buying a new tablet! so you are better of by buying a new tablet

Out of curiosity, I just wander if Asus actually replaces the Motherboard because there is nothing wrong with the motherboard except a screw up bootloader. You can JTAG or hardwire the EPROM and flash it with a good binary file.

What I wrote above is more of a question rather than answer for you. Hopefully, some experienced user see it and have a solution for you. With this method, you need to have a knowledge of both software and hardware of your device in order to save it. The first technical problem is where can you find a working bootloader binary file so that you can serial proggram it back into your rom. I would recommend that you take your device to a local computer shop to see if they can fix it for you with a lower cost. You can also search on ebay to see if anyone sell a working rom for your device so that you can replace it by yourself. Good luck.

Hello everybody! Like the title says, I just got my TF101 2 days ago. I immediately came to look for the rooting process but not being very savy in the whole ADB process I was intimidated quite a bit. I ran into the whole B70 deal so I did a little research on XDA/Google and I have a B80 model. Am I to understand that I should just wait for an updated root process or am I missing something here?
Ya you will just have to wait. if you can exchange it for a b60 then you can get on with it but if not you will have to wait. b80 just means it was made in august
Hey Hunter,
Same boat as you. I must have sunk 6 hours into trying to root it until I finally realized that was the problem I was running into (made me feel like such a huge n00b-c4nn0n lo). Basically, the nvflash method fails for me everytime and I always get an error that says something like "failed to write to USB". Similar for you?
My girlfriend got a Transformer today that was still a B50, not sure what is going on in my area but everywhere else has new units in!

Is it true that i will loose OTA updates?
I just got used to the honeycomb interface so im not in the mood of installing a custom ROM yet, i just want to have root in order to install certain apps that requiere root.
Thanks in advance!
You will loose OTA updates but the interface won't really change, it'll just speed up!
Yup exactly the same. Has anyone heard anything new?

I'm having to return a dodgy unit, but after having this for several days I'd like to back up with titanium or something.does anyone know the warranty issues with rooting to use it, and is there a way to unroot after? Or any app that can backup as easily without root? Thanks

Rooting is easy, and reversible. It's the bootloader unlocking you shouldn't be doing. Check out debugfs' root in the transformer prime section. It works for the infinity too.
I got b& at /g/ for sh!tposting ;_;
Thanks! Just to be clear, it can be relocked and amazon will be none the wiser? If hate to be stuck with the cost of 2 tabs just to back up a dud one XD

Rooting can be reversed, but the bootloader unlocking cannot.
so as far as i can tell from searching, i can root using Debugfs tool right? but i cant find a way to unroot the infinity, all methods seem to be very specific to certain firmware builds of the prime. is there a way to do it yet? thanks
Hi Folks,

Why do you need it?
Why is it bricked? What can you do? Fastboot yes or no? Recovery yes or now? ADB yes or no?
Which bootloader are you on. Which Rom was the last. What have you done that bricked it ..........
In the box with user warranty booklet thing you should find another sticker with SN

No fastboot. only gets to the white splash screen. Was unlocked with cwrm but froze up while wiping. Can't get coms with adb.
Asus sounds like they will fix it but need the SN for RMA.
Thanks heaps for the interest and help!

No Dice with the SN. How difficult is a main board change?
Will I un-brick the tablet if I replace the main board with a new one? I have found them on line for 100$. I was not certain if there's more than one board in the tablet that could be the culprit.
Cheers,

how did you buy the unit?
a bunch of really wild ideas but worth a shot.
your receipts might have it on them.. or maybe the company you bought it from if they took down your name/etc they might have the serial also.
im not sure on this one but maybe a visa/mastercard statement if you paid via that ?
Hey guys!
Ive bee having these problems with my tablet (lag, slow, etc) and i have done EVERYTHING Cold Boot, Factory Reset and the Firmware updates don't fix anything!
I have contacted ASUS and they said that it was a HARDWARE problem and they gave me a RMA to send it in. Should I send it in? Would they do anything?
Thanks!
Im also new to the forum so thanks!
Yes! If Asus acknowledges a hardware problem and your tab is still under warranty - what have you got to loose??
Your only alternative would be to unlock the bootloader, root and flash a custom rom, loosing your warranty in the process. Plus - if you actually have a hardware problem, no custom rom could fix it.
So send it in and hope for the best!

Hey thanks for the reply, I contacted ASUS again, and explained it in depth a little more, and they said it was the motherboard so I am going to send it in and hope for the best!
[Sorry I double posted!]
Definitely send it in. While at the facility, they can run tests on the device and they can refer back to the troubleshooting that was already done with the phone support. If it deemed a bad MB, than it will be replaced. They will figure out the best solution.
Hoping someone can help here. Have unlocked my pad a few months ago but now have another one to unlock. Been onto the Asus support site and can see various unblock files but they seen to be for the 701 or the 300, except for some which don't specify a model at all. Does anyone know which will work of anyone have a copy of the we one for JB?

Unlock Tool v7 or v8 will work with the TF700
Top man thanks very much. I could have sworn last time I unlocked one it was actually listed as for the 700!

Yes it's there, I am suffering from premature senility and confusion as I was convinced that last time I downloaded it the header said for specific SKUs and model names.
One follow up question you guys may be able to help me with...
This is to replace an inifinity that I have just sold as it didnt have a dock. That one is running Cromix 5.4 (not F2FS) and the guy who's bought it wants to downgrade it back to stock (no idea why, but am sure he will want to go back, once he's run it for a short time), does he need to reflash the firmware for the original SKU (ie the US one) or can he use WW now?

He should use the US one if that is his SKU. Just flash the zip in the zip in recovery.
