[Q] Tf300t stuck at bootscreen and can't get into recovery options.

Hey,
My Asus Tf300t has been working perfectly until I wanted to get into recovery mode (RCK) yesterday. It got stuck there and
I tried it another time and it didn't work. After that I let it go and just booted normally, but then it stayed at the "ASUS Inspiring inno.... etc." screen.
Now I can shut my device down by holding the power button, but I cant get it to cold boot or get into recovery options again, it just boots endlessly.
My device has been unlocked and working fine for months.
What can I do?
regards,
Pmobilee

make sure that you are hold the "volume down" button, and hope it puts you back to where you can boot into recovery. Does that tablet boot at all, or just a "bootloop"

Did you have a working recovery before this? Like have you booted your recovery before and know that it was working?

Yes, I have been into the recovery and know the procedure. And im afraid the boot goes as far as the asus logo.

Yes, recovery booted before. But this all started when I tried to boot recovery again, and it got stuck. Then this infitite boot occurred.

and when you tried to boot recovery again what method did you use? did you use the "reboot recovery" option in your recovery or ROM power menu?or did you do it manually?(hold vol- and power then press vol+)?

Hi all. I'm in the exact same situation. Didn't want to make a new thread though.
I rooted my TF300T a few months ago (Oct 2013), and it has been running fine on CyanogenMod 10.2. So I ran the CyanogenMod Update app (Settings > About Tablet > CyanogenMod Updates), then downloaded the LATEST nightly (dated yesterday: Dec 14, so 10.2...141213). I don't know if this is a factor, but I usually pull down the notification bar and tap the "Reboot and Install" option, but I accidentally cleared my notifications, so I went back into CyanogenMod Updates, tapped the installed button for the latest nightly, and tablet started rebooting.
However I cannot get past the boot screen. So recovery is not loading. I used TWRP last time I did this. I Can't turn the tablet off either, at least not until I plugged the USB from my PC to the tablet then tried long pressing the Power button and holding Volume Down. Before plugging USB in it would simply restart and sit on the boot screen again.
I have to leave the house for now, but will attempt to get into Recovery later tonight with same methods as above. Fingers crossed!
EDIT: I remembered, it was 10.2, not 10.1 I was running. So I shouldn't have had any issues going from 10.2 to a newer 10.2.

I'm back home now. I've tried again to get into Recovery, but cannot. I've got the tablet plugged into the PC with the USB, I'm holding Power and Volume Down, but nothing. Instead it seemly turns off, but comes back on and stays on the same boot screen (Asus. Inspiring Innovation, etc...).
And I can't figure out how I was able to turn the damn thing off before either. So I have to leave it on until the power drains. So that sucks!
Is it bricked?

Let's do this together. I recently tried to upgrade to 4.4 from 4.3 and I accidently erased my tablet by manually booting into twrp 2.5 and selecting the 3rd option which is wipe data...so we are in the same boat.
Has your battery drained yet?

Damn, that sucks! Yes, battery has now drained, and yes, let's work this out together. What ROM were you using? Android 4.4 is not out on CyanogenMod for the TF300T, and I will probably stick to CM. But if I have to use something else to get this fixed, I'll do it.

Was any fix found for this? I am now experiencing the same problem after trying to reboot into recovery to upgrade Cyanogen. Any help would be appreciated.

Nope, and after a lot of support and help from the good guys on the Transformer Forums, I've declared this unfixable. If you had a NVIDIA backup, you'd be fine, but without that you're pretty much screwed, sorry to say.

Can you get into bootloader? If so you can do this:

And it should resolve ANY bad flash/wrong flash issues.

[Q] Only asus bootscreen, no recovery or boot - Is it Bricked?

Good evening all?
Ive unlocked my TF300T a year back and had been running Cyogenmod 10.1 on it for months, all worked fine.
As a recovery i had CWM installed and it worked like a charm as well.
A week ago i saw Cyogenmod 10.2 was out there and i wanted to switch the recovery to TWRP (i installed ver 2.6.x.x) and tried the new Cyogenmod.
It sisnt work so i wanted to switch back to 10.1 and CWM.
I dont exactly know what i did but in the end even the vol down and power button menu doesnt work anymore.
The tab turn on now and shows the Asus start screen but doesnt boot up.
Also when i press vol down and the power button it doesnt load the boot menu where i can install a new recovery and install the old Cyogenmod.
When its powered on i cant even turn of the tab, it keeps turning on for a few minutes in the Asus logo screen and than turn off and on again... till the battery is empty.
Did i brick my tablet ?
Are there any ways i can try to get the original software back?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers !
Marty

Did you update your bootloader to the JB one?

I think i didn't...
At first i just unlocked the device, installed recovery CWM and after a version (januari 2013) of Cyogenmod 10.1 wich was Android 4.2.2 and kept the Cyogenmod 10.1 up to date every few weeks... Thats all i did till i wanted to install Cyogenmod 10.2 (Android 4.3)
I can't recall updating the bootloader myself, could have been with an Asus update or something but i think i din't do it myself.

CM changed to the updated PITs when Asus updated first.
best solution would be to flash latest stock, boot into it once, flash twrp2 (2.6.0.0 works for me atm) then flash cm10.2
here is my summary
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12
hope it helps
and no, i don't think you need to send it in for repair - it sounds more like broken PIT's so mount and boot points are not being recognized anymore.

More details will be needed before someone can help. What had you done right before it acted up? What rom do you have in there ATM? Can you post a picture or tell what's on the initial screen (the one before the boot animation)? Did you try volume down + power? If you did, what did the screen show?

I rooted my device using the method shown on this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228613I
, the ROM is stock and the screen before the animation is normal (white Asus text). I have tried volume down and power and from that screen, I reset my tablet. This didn't solve the issue, before this started, I changed the boot animation and changed fonts. I think it was while restarting after the font change that it stopped booting properly.

I gather by "reset my tablet", you meant you cold booted it by selecting the android icon. This being the case, you can always reflash the stock ROM with fastboot. Depending on whether you had 4.1 or 4.2 bootloader - 4.1 has 4 icons including a USB icon which if clicked, will make the tab enter fastboot/download mode; 4.2 will enter that mode automatically as you press volume down+power - you need to choose the right ROM you want to install. The initial screen should tell you which bootloader on the top left corner. 4.1 matches stock Roms commencing with 10.4.x.xx; 4.2 is Roms with 10.6.x.xx
I've flashed a 4.1 ROM (104220) on a tab with 4.2 bootloader by means of an external SD card without problems. However, to be safe, you should flash whatever version you'd had before the incident. If you already have data on the tab that you care to keep, you shouldn't touch the wipe date icon. If you need a link as to what to do, read this one. Good luck.

Is my tablet bricked?

I know there have been many threads about similar problems and I don't want to clutter the forum but I haven't found an answer to my particular issue after three days of searching and reading.
I had a ICS unlocked bootloader and Pacman ROM installed with TWRP 2.2. I wanted to upgrade the bootloader, recovery, and rom. I was able to download and install TWRP 2.4.4 with no problems but when I tried to install TWRP 2.5 I ran into problems. The outdated PAC ROM loaded but then I tried to boot into recovery and now am stuck in a bootloop. It just goes to the Asus splash screen and reloads the splash screen again and again.
I have tried holding down the volume button but it does nothing, I've tried letting the battery run out then charging and holding the volume button down and it still loops. I can't load the ROM or recovery.

You install TWRP with fastboot. Fastboot comes before the spinning dots. If you hold volume down+power, you'll get to it, am I wrong?

I get the spinning Asus logo even when I hold volume down. No matter what I do I still get the spinning Asus logo.

[Q] Need help with a TF300T tablet

hi guys I have a Asus Transformer tablet stuck in a boot loop. when I access the recovery menu it says on the top of the screen.
Android Cardhv-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "US_epad-10.6.1.27.1-20130711" A03 Key driver not found.. Booting OS
Starting Fastboot USB download protocol
I tried updateing it with that file and it goes thru the update and it still sticks with the boot loop and when I go to recovery the same message appears.
any help would be awesome. please help. it is a stock tablet with nothing never done to it. it just starting doing this out of the blue.

If you've never done anything to it then that must mean your bootloader is locked. I hate to suggest such a thing but you might try wiping your data using the bootloader menu and see if that helps

Dear all users of TF300T.
If you are using Stock ROM (Rooted/Non Rooted) and are bricked or stuck on ASUS boot screen. Then this guide is for you.
As i was using stock ROM (ROOTED) with Locked boot loader without custom recovery and my tf300t was Sofbricked due to wrong configurations at Display Pixel scaling and also reformat did not work for me.!
So i thought to create this guide which may help people out here It worked for me Try your LUCK.
Sorry if i am re posting i did not got any guides out here...
If this helped you please give me a Thumbs up.!
Steps:-
1. Download the latest ROM from ASUS website Which matches your SKU.(Important).
It would look somehing like this (TF300T-TW_epad-10_6_1_15_3-UpdateLauncher . zip)
2. Extract it and rename that file to ( EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip )
3. Now copy this new renamed file to SDCARD (Root of sd card). Put the SDcard into tablet.
4. Now Press and hold Volume Down + Power for a few seconds. Then you will see the ASUS recovery options.
5. 3 icons will appear: RCK, Android, and Wipe Data. The RCK should be flashing green. Press the UP Volume Key Once.
Now wait for a few minutes. It will flash the ROM.
And wola! Your TF300T will again work fine!!
Any suggestions and comments are most welcomed!

The screen that you're looking at is not the recovery menu but the bootloader menu. Are you certain that your bootloader is unlocked? If you don't know we start the tablet and look into the upper left hand corner and it will tell you unlock if it is
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2

It's locked. And yes I tried reinstalling4.0 on it due to the sticker on the tablet saying it was 4.0 and it didn't work. Then I seen the message that it said it was missing a driver so I searched for that en file and then updated it with that and it does the same thing. If ur curious what message I mean look at my first post

[Q] Bricked? TF300

Hello,
I ran CM's in-android update utility to update to CM 10.2 last night and it hosed my tablet.
My TF300 gets stuck at the ASUS logo screen. When I power it off it boots right back to the ASUS screen. If I push the VOL UP button twice before it reboots it will stay off.
Can't get it into recovery mode by pressing VOL DOWN and POWER, still gets stuck at ASUS screen.
My computer wont see it; I can't get fastboot to do anything with it, < waiting for device >. This is the same computer that I used fastboot to initially flash clockwork so it is setup correctly. Windows 7 64-bit.
Is it bricked beyond repair? If not how do I proceed?
Thank you
P.S. I'm not sure what other information you may need, and I can't remember some of the specifics. I can't get to that informaiton now due to it not booting.

Sure, but I am afraid I am out of ideas. Rescue requires either fastboot, recovery/adb or a set of nvflash blobs created before.
