I have a B70 transformer (just 20 days old). Rooted with universal rootkit.
Wanted to install Ubuntu[emmc install].
Checked sbk version using sbkcheck uitlity. It first gave sbk version 1.
So went ahead Ubuntu install. Could'nt complete beacuse of "connection failed nverror 0x8".
So again ran sbkcheck utility. Got some error cant remember.
and now i cant do anything.
Just displays Entering NvFlash recovery mode when plugged in to usb.
Tried nvflash unbbricking gives "USB device not found"

do you get the transformer into apx mode at all?
Thanks for your replies
Got nvflash unbricking tool working from windows. Don't know why it wasnt working on linux.
All fine now.
Just to make sure, since the unbricking tool worked, does it mean I have a sbkv1 device?
Yes you have sbk v1
I have a similiar problem. But i have an 3G model (TF101G), and its not mine its from a friend.
When i power on it only gets to the Eee pad Logo, than it stays there.
Can get into the wipe menu, where you can choose between wipe and "cold booting Linux", but cant get into asus recovery menu (Android Guy with gears).
Tried also nvflash with Windows and Linux, but everytime error "0X4".
my SN begins with "BA0K", so probably a SBKv3 device or?
But i cant be brick! there must be a way, because i can get into the Asus wipe menu and into APX-Mode. Everytime here in the forum its said that this is not really a brick, but perhaps though?
I hope not.
Or have i to be wait until the SBKv3 key will released?
pls help me

That's exactly my problem , except I have the non-3G model (TF101). I'm currently downloading munsterrr's solution:

[EDIT: Just tried munsterrr's solution. It didn't work at all. I guess I'll just wait for you guys to find a solution ]

hmm i think i have tried it yesterday. Its this file ( http://www.multiupload.com/PFMWB39SK4 ) or? it gave me the same error (0X4)
For me it looks like exactly the same nvflash + bat like usual.
Or maybe is there something different there?
Which SBK you have? I think SBKv1 or?
IDK what SBK is...
I thought there was something different there.
i still tried the SBKcheck util on Linux-Live CD. It worked with "sudo", but i get SBKv1.
I think that is only because of the tool, because i have an 3G Model or?

You have a B80 according to your other thread. This mean nvflash won't work.

If I remember correctly, 3G models have the SBKv3 but it reads as SBKv1.

Good day, I am new here as a member. I think I bricked my TF101. The other day I installed 2 apps from play store if i remember it it was yousendit. I am running on stock ICS. then it just automatically turned off. i tried to turn it on again but when it goes into the asus screen with circling dots it just turns off again. tried cold booting it, still the same. then i used wipe data. but an hour has past still my tablet is still showng the android with a rotating orb in its belly. so last night i downloaded every tool i could research. first i tried PERI but it says it does not recognize my device, then i use brks tool v8, i tried installing stock rom as instructed, no success. then i tried easy flasher today and now i cant even see the first boot screen.
I hope you can help me, i use this tablet at work and presentation to my clients. I am new with this OS and seems that i wrecked my tab by solving it myslef, I hope this was not the case. BTW i have a B60 tf101. i bought it second hand with my savings so i have no warranty.
can you please give me a step by step solution, i am very desperate here, thank you.

Easy flaher is the way out,
1) Download universal naked driver and unzip into a folder
2) Download latest Asus transformer firmware and put it in firmware folder.
3) Uninstall all Asus drivers from your laptop.
4) Disconnect your laptop from WiFi/internet and make it offline
4) Now plug your tablet and let windows install required driver.
5) If windows cannot install driver( mostly it won't as laptop is not connected to the net) then use "manually install driver" option and select the folder where you downloaded and unzipped "universal naked driver" and that should install the naked driver.
6) If that doesn't then goto device manager, there you should see unknown device, select it and update the driver manually.
7) Once the driver is installed, then unplug the tablet
8) now connect the tablet back and press volume up and power button together till laptop starts installing APX driver.
9) If it doesn't then try repeating step 5 or step 6 and that will install APX driver.
10) Launch EASY FLASHER and unroot and install stock ROM...
Good luck

thanks i will try this immidiately. my laptop is ancient. hopefully i will do it right this time.ill let you know the development
Sir i still cant get it to work i followed your instruction.
BTW here are my details. I guess I downloaded the correct update.
TF101
B60KAS1245548
16gb
I am using an old HP laptop with XP as OS. And I adownloaded this from the asus website and placed it in the folder inside the easy flasher folder WW_epaduser9_2_1_27UpdateLauncher.zip.
Thanks in advance.

I tihnk a PART of your issues is that you got the wrong file. Instead of the WW version you should be using the US_epaduser file. This is of course thinking that you are in the USA.
I downloaded the WW version thinking that the pad was bought here in the Philippines (second hand). Or maybe I am wrong. Thanks for the idea I'll download the other update and give it a try.
You have a B60 tablet, just use NvFlash via APX mode manually. Much less room for error than anything else IMO, first download image from here http://xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Asus/Asus+Transformer+(TF101)/STOCK+ROMS/ICS+.27
Pick WW for ww tablet, or US for us tablet. (I believe yours will be a US tablet, purchased in the Philippines)
Then download wheelie (NvFlash tool) from androidroot.mobi. Copy and paste the files into the other folder you downloaded earlier, overwrite everything with the newer wheelie files.
Put TF into APX mode (Power off, hold volume up while plugged into computer, power back on, screen will remain black and computer should detect device in APX mode.)
Run Reflash_sbkv1.bat (make sure it is sbkv1 not sbkv2 as you have a B60)
If runs successfully you should be unbricked.
You can then reroot with PERI or other if desired.

It doesn't matter what version of Asus you download ( I'm in US and I downloaded WW version), but can you explain what problems you facing while you try to follow the steps I mentioned... also screen shot of laptop would help I have bricked my tablet at least 10 times and easy flasher (wheelie) always brought it back....

Pics and more info would help ^^
Easy flasher *should* work, from what I've heard of it.
I was wondering what's supposed to happen after I launch sbkv1, my tablet just seems to disconnect and the screen stays black.
im trying on whellie tonight
so here are my screenshots. i downloaded from the link you gave me, and downladed wheelie then extracted wheelie on the same folder as the rom. clicked on reflash sbkv1 and on to the next screenshot, how many minutes sholud i wait for it, it says done, but when i switch on my TF nothing happens.
I followed again the whelie using the US and this happened. will it automatically boot my TF or should i manually boot it?
I also used easyflasher and i got stuck with this? what am I doing wrong?
guys i found the box of my TF and shot a pic of the serial number just to be sure.
i researched a bit on other forums and i think im in an permanent apx loop which some say is unsolvable. is this true? i hope not.

As far as I can understand, your laptop is recognizing your tablet in APX mode otherwise easy flasher won't work. So plug it back in apex mode and click on "flash Asus stock zip" it will push stock unrooted Asus rom, WAIT for it to finish, it might take some time but WAIT!!! Once its totally finished then you can reboot into a stock ROM.... WAIT for EASY FLASHER to finish.
if you like to root again then use the same to flash recovery and superuser
Sent from my Transformer using xda app-developers app
Thank you for your reply sir. I waited but it seems the while flashing as shown on the screen the TF gets disconnected. I counter check it on the device manager and the "nvidia boot reccovery" was not showing.
It never happened to me, it takes time but it always pushed stock zip through, if that's not happening then I'm out of ideas. I'm sorry to say I'm out of ideas. But sometime back I saw some where, some one suggested a way to unbrick using ADB, I'm not not sure how to ho about it, search the forum, you might find it.. good luck
Following is the last option if nothing else helps and no one can provide you an answer then try following
Instead of flashing Asus stock ROM, Use easy flash to push twrp recovery, i know its not conventional but if you get recovery then you can flash a custom rom... GOOD LUCK

Thank you very much sir for your time and to all that replied to this problem. It really disconnects after formatting the 10th partition. I researched on how to use the ADB and that requires a lot more knowledge on programming. I will still try the last option, im crossing my fingers it will work or else ill call the asus service center her in the Philippines. Hopefully they can fx it and it wont be an expensive fix. Thanks again!
Hi, good people. I have bought a TF300T bricked last week, the old user has stock OS, tried to root and failed.
Now im fighting with that. When i turn on the tablet, it stuck at 'The Device is Unlocked' with Asus n' Nvidia Logo, after a minutes it reset and keeps in a constant loop.
I tried to recovery [vol down etc etc] and no effect, i tried with a few of tutorial and nothing.
I connected the tablet via APX [VOL UP + power]. PC recognized it but i stucked in this. Tried to fastboot and stays in 'waiting device'
Someone with ideas? Thanks frr all and sorry for the inconvenience.

PC operating system?
Drivers for fastboot and adb loaded?
Look at my signature about universal naked drivers.
Also about getting into your bootloader menu.
APX will be useless to restore.

I'll assume that means all ten methods to get into the bootloader failed.
If the adb drivers installed we may have a chance.
You didn't say about the sdcard.
At the moment are you still stuck in apx or bootlooping.

No problem we just need to get a starting place and have as much in our favor as possible.
I don't believe adb works in apx mode but we'll give it a shot.
No sdcards come with the tablet.
Go into apx mode (volume + power).
Go to your adb folder with cmd and type
adb devices - press return or enter
If it is working we should get your serial number in return.
Now get out of apx mode.
type
adb devices - do not press return yet
watch your unit and when the screen goes black and before it lights(rebooting) now press return
Tell me what is returned each way.

same problem here. i have a tf300t and can only access apx interface.
I got into this mess, after by "accident" choosed the "wipe data" option present on the bootleader.
!! adb, fast boot do not work!! "power key + down button" dont do anything!
i'm getting a bit resteless because no matter were i search on the web i can not find anything suitable on how to resolve this issue...
there are some youtube videos that show a solution for tf100. it seems the same problem.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwvfNIHCYlQ
there is also a tool for tf100, called easy flasher. to bad it does not work for tf300t

Do you see anything after resetting by holding volume down and the power button? If you can get the tablet into fastboot mode you may able to revive it. If you can, ask the previous owner which version stock Android he was running before he tried to root it (it matters!).
This method worked for me!

Hi everyone, first post here, but I've been reading this forum for some time now.
I've got an asus transformer pad tf300t 3 days ago. Last night, I tried to install cyanogenmod10, I unlocked the device, and installed clockworkmod, everything was fine until I accidentaly entered recovery mode and wipe all data, now the tablet only shows the asus logo and enteres in to a bootloop (I think). I can't enter recovery mode, ADB doesn't recognize it, fastboot neither and I can't even turn it off. I can't enter recovery, it just shows me the asus logo again.
HOWEVER, I waited until the battery drained, connected the usb cable to the tablet (not in the computer) pressed + volume button and without releasing it, connected to pc. Now the computer detects new hardware. I already installed the driver and it says "ASUS TRANSFORMER PRIME APX INTERFACE". Now, i'm not sure if it's the correct driver, but according to hardware administrator, it works fine.
Now, the real cuestion: Is there anything I can do from apx mode to save my tablet? A new bootloader maybe??
Thanks everyone
PS: Sorry for the bad english, It's not my language
from the loop,If you hold the power button for 10s when reboot and immediatly press the volume down button, what you have asus loop or the screen with the 3 icons (RCK ecc) ?

To answer your question about apx, no unless you received your tablet with ICS 4.0 and installed Nvflash.
Check my signature for a guide for apx and bootloader menu. Look below the apx section for the bootloader information. Try each from beginning to end except removing the back and disconnecting the battery. If you complete the list and still have not seen a change start with #1 and try them again and again. It is surprising but as you go through the list things have a way changing.
Good Luck!

Use of the bootloader information may allow access to recovery, adb, or fastboot. Access to any of the three may allow the ability to recover your tablet.

nvflash -r --download 4 blob.EBT
nvflash -r --download 10 blob.APP
nvflash -r --download 6 blob.LNX
nvflash -r --download 5 some_ics_recovery.img
Here is the thread where he posted this info.
If you wish you can use blobtools to create your own.

Of course, my tablet had the bootloop error with TWRP and the new 4.1.2 JB update.
When my device had stock ICS ROM (long time ago), I followed this tutorial, this allow you to create some backup files from your device, which in the future will allow you flash your tablet througth APX mode (more powerfull that fastboot mode) and the NVFLASH utility
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1894867
The only isue is that you need a pre-JellyBean bootloader (ICS) in order to make those backup files, if you are in a JB stock ROM (JB-bootloader), you can't make this backup files (Asus block the way that we can backup this files on JB ROMs).
With my backup files, the nvflash tools (from the tutorial above), and the instrutions that post tobdaryl, I manage to restore my tablet to an ICS ROM
If you are interested, there is a online petition (but i don't remember were :silly asking that Asus allows the NVFLASH backup utility on JB-bootloaders. With NVFLASH and ours backup files, we can restore our devices from any type of soft-brick.
In the case that your TF300 had and stock ICS (or you can flash it one), I can assist you in the case that you have troubles making the nvflash backup files with the tutorial
Would be nice if you could use someone else's file to fix a brick. Has anyone tried it.

Could You explain step by step which driver and how do you get up Yours TF300T?
I have the same problem, only recovery starts (TWRP2.5.0.0)
possible brick?...
After downgrade the console from the v. 4.2 to 4.1, following tutorials in this forum, because it would not let me install a Custom Rom (yes the recovery, not the root) I can think of to make a choice Wipe from the Stock 4.1 Recovery and restart WW I stand still Asus logo, white, and trying to restart pushing Recovery again, I go and I follow the fixed logo. I do not recognize the device SDK and have seen many posts and I can not find the solution ... buf! Someone has been the same? ... The strange thing is that lights ...
In case nothing else works (another fix) worked for me!

If you cannot access to fastboot, IMHO there's nothing you can do. I am in your same boat: no adb and fastboot access, my PC recognize the tablet only in APX mode but with NVflash I cannot do anything because I not have a backup.
Bye
EDIT: I am in this situation after a wrong recovery flash. I flashed a new recovery but I could not load it and I made the (big) mistake to try a wipe from the recovery menu. My Tf300t is now stuck at asus logo and I cannot access to the bootloader anymore. I do not know what to do, is the tablet definitely bricked or there's something I can try before going to ASUS service?
Thanks in advance.
Bye
Afternoon guys,
Before anyone has a go at me, I've have spent about five hours looking through this forum for what I'm looking for and i've tried all the easy unroot/easy flasher/etc and got all the stock Asus rom and recovery. AND the forum search is temporarily unavailable.
So here is what I have:
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.4
Liquid Smooth Rom
I have installed the stock rom, recovery and wiped everything.
If i press the power button it loads into CWM recovery.
If i press power and down vol, it loads to the wipe data/load android screen, and which it hangs on forever,
So I guess what im asking you good people of the internet is:
A) How do I finally get rid of CWM Recovery (because even if i install another recovery it boots back to CWM), and
B) How on gods earth do I get back to stock?
Now I know people are going to be like search the forums, I have, and I've tried literally everything that everyone has posted, and clearly while it's worked for millions of other people, my tablet is retarded and doesnt want to follow the norm.
Also i am the greatest noob ever.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hmmm, did you unzip the stock ROM once before flashing (it will still be a zip).
Otherwise, try using EasyFlasher and APX mode. For EasyFlasher, do not unzip the stock ROM, use it as it downloads from Asus.

If your TF is SBK1 (Serial B6O or earlier, some B7Os work too) you can use NVFlash
http://www.xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Asus/Asus+Transformer+(TF101)/STOCK+ROMS/ICS+.27
Stick the TF into APX mode (Vol up & Power from Powered Off state)
Run download.bat as Admin (Right click > Run as Admin)
@frederuco
I did unzip it and install it. It still hangs.
I tried EasyFlasher, but for some reason I run through it and the process completes, when i reboot the tablet nothing has changed.
@*Detection*
I can't get the link to work for some reason.
Thanks for your help so far, but stupid tablet stays stupid!

I downloaded it and ran it as admin, DOS flashed up and disappeared before i could read what it said.
the nvflash app does the same, even when i run as admin.
maybe this is a lost cause..

What is the first 3 characters of your tablet serial?
And was it in APX mode connected to PC USB with APX drivers installed ?

The serial starts with B40.
Im on a mac (as i have no access to a pc) but have VMWARE running windows 7, with APX drivers on it.
When i put it in APX mode, it comes up that it is connected as Nvidia APX device.
Could this be where I'm going wrong?

Yea probably, I've never tried using NVFlash on anything other than a PC running Windows
Try updating the NVidia APX Device with these drivers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1489867&d=1353190140
Chances are its the drivers running on the Mac that are causing the problem with the USB > VMWare > TF101
I know nothing about Mac, but I heard you can install Windows 7 almost natively using Bootcamp or something? Might be worth trying that if you can't do it in VMWare

Great!
At least you know now you can do what you like with it firmware / ROM / Recovery wise, and always be able to return it to stock, you can't break APX mode unless you physically damage the tablet
