Possible brick, possible progress. - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, after finally deciding to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2.1 I inadvertently installed just the JB TWRP recovery.
Won't do anything but sit on the asus screen and repeatedly flash
So, after trying to flash the proper recovery (and the 4.2.1 update) multiple times. I decided I'll try downgrading back to 4.1
That worked. I'm back on the 4.1 bootloader.
GREAT!! Flashed back to the 2.5 TWRP for 4.1 Alls, good, it gets me into recovery and able to see partitions and stuff.
Try to restore from my backup gets me a failed on it.
wipe everything(save for sd card)
Factory reset
restore just boot partition SUCCESS!
restore both boot and system SUCCESS!!
reboot. nada
Any help, would be appreciated.

Make sure the nandroid you are trying to restore is on an external sd card and then format data form within the wipe screen. Sounds like your data partition got corrupted.

You are welcome! :good:

If you still want to update to 4.2.1 (i did it just for a friend that wanted root and wanted to test out cm10.2) and got some probs with partition mounting as well.
i earlier posted a solution for a nother prob (but it deals with PIT probs) ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12 ) and it solved it without the need to downgrade.

Just to clarify, when you force fastboot by paper clip resetting+volume down, the screen should show something like "entering fastboot/download mode..." correct? Failing that, with just the Asus logo and "the device is unlocked", then it's not in fastboot mode at all, right? Because I tried your method, but when issuing fastboot commands, PC says "waiting for device." "Fastboot devices" returns no serial number. How many times should I try to jump-start the hardware, do you think? Thanks.

its like normal fastboot
when you see rck, android, wipe data - this is fastboot mode(check top left corner)
cheers

Phone Won't Turn On; Soft Keys Flashing When Buttons Are Pressed

Hi all,
So, last night I successfully rooted and unlocked my One X on AT&T. Today, I tried putting a ROM on it. I flashed the boot.img first, then tried to install the ROM (Jelly Bean Sense). It failed for some reason, so I wiped and rebooted my phone.
Instead of going back to the stock ROM, the phone now will not turn on, is not recognized on both laptops I tried, and does not recognize even being charged. The only thing that happens is when I press down the power button, all of the soft keys illuminate and flash until I stop holding it. I've managed to get into the bootloader screen once, but the phone reset itself before I could do anything.
The only screen I can get to with the Vol Down+Power combo is the HTC Screen, but it's the one that shows before my custom recovery, with some warning from HTC in red letters at the bottom.
At this point, I just want a phone that works. This is a lot more complex [for me] than rooting and flashing a ROM to the Inspire I had for some reason. I fly out for vacation in two days for a few weeks, so I'd like to be able to avoid having to send this thing back to HTC or AT&T if possible.
ANY help is greatly appreciated.
If it's easier, feel free to Skype chat me.
Thanks!
Im confused.. it won't come on, but you can get to recovery? If you can manually boot into twrp you'll be fine.. may I ask which Rom you flashed? Did you flash the boot.img first? Or after you flashed Rom? Alot of guys will say flash boot.img first.. I don't have that funky hboot but I have to do my cousins alot and his will only boot correctly if I flash Rom first, then boot into bootloader and fastboot the boot.img.
Try that and let me know how it goes
Also... Let go of all the buttons when you see the white screen lol. That means you found bootloader

I can get it to boot into the Bootloader screen and the TWRP now just fine, but that's as far as it will go. The internal SD will not mount with TWRP either now.
Here's the ROM I tried to flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055490
I put it on my SD card, then extracted the boot.img to the folder I have my dab/fastboot files in, then flashed the boot.img, then tried to flash the ROM.
If I can get it working again, I'll try to do it in reverse order next time and see if that works. Still trying to find a way to get a ROM on here with my Mac, and to make my SD card work again. Everything on it is backed up so it's ok if I need to wipe it.
If you can get to bootloader, you're not bricked. It's just a matter of flashing the right stuff in the right order.
It could be that your sdcard is corrupted. Factory reset from bootloader will do it, but fixing it just a matter of formatting it again. Can you mount it on your computer? What happens when you plug into your PC?
Your sdcard is corrupt. No big deal but you'll lose everything. Plug it in into computer and locate the storage and try to find a way to format it. Sorry, I have no clue with a mac I swore off apple products :thumbup:
Anyway, you seem to know the ropes for the most part. If you can format, drag Rom onto SD. Wipe everything in twrp. Cache, dalvick, factory reset, system. Flash Rom.. immediately boot into bootloader and fastboot the boot.img. choose reboot from bootloader. Good luck!

Yep, I also suggest doing a factory reset from the bootloader ( which will erase your internal storage) but at least you'll be able to mount your SD card, put a ROM on it and flash it. I would highly recommended you to flash viper 3.0.0, you don't need to flash the boot.img and its pretty much stock JB with some tweaks.

I am having this same problem (minus the custom screen).
My phone will boot into TWRP and all, but it won't mount (PC says the disk needs to be formatted before it can be used). When I go to reboot or anything from TWRP, it tells me there is no OS installed and am I sure.
Can anyone help?
That's good news!
I tried doing a factory reset from bootloader, but nothing happened. Maybe because the SD card won't mount?
I only have a Mac, with no PC in sight. It doesn't show up at all on here. Fastboot USB, or when I mount it as USB in TWRP. It does however show up as a device in recovery in terminal. But nothing on the desktop. Apple+Android do not mix well!
I'm ok with losing my data, what I'm not OK with is having to use this pink Razr while my nice phone is broken :'(
Thanks for all the help so far!
I do a factory reset from bootloader, it takes me into TWRP. Now is the only time it will even remotely show up on my laptop, and even then it's only via terminal when I do adb devices. Since it can't mount for some reason, is there a way to reformat via Terminal, and maybe even push the ROM to my phone from there? That's something I'm not familiar with.

Hey dude, I followed their advice (dug out my XP machine) and now my SD card is re-formatted.
Get into the bootloader screen, hit factory reset. (When I did this on mine, it took me right to TWRP)
From there, I mounted as USB and it showed up as needing to be reformatted on my XP machine. Took a few minutes to do on this dinosaur, but it worked, cause everything is gone!
Right now I'm in the process of zipping up the Viper XL ROM (thanks for the recommendation barondebxl, it looks awesome!), which I'll put onto my SD card and wipe/flash from there. (on my Mac now).
Hopefully it works!
I'm unable to flash ROMs for some reason. It doesn't give an error, just says that it failed. Any ideas?

No no no. This is what is corrupting your sdcard. Only do a factory reset in TWRP or once booted up. Start over and format again. Then copy over your rom.
When you and a few others mentioned doing it, what were you referring to?
I've tried three different ROMs now, and each fails without saying why in TWRP.
Problem solved! Got the stock RUU back on there and it works perfectly. Just re-rooted and unlocked again. Round two..

Cannot Flash anything!

Alright, so, my tablet decided to one day just cease stop working. The recovery for some reason can't flash anything now, is used to be able to flash a backup, but not anymore. It used to be able to boot past the animation, but not anymore. I cannot flash a ROM from recovery because it says that the file is bad (and please, don't tell me to check to see if the md5's are correct, they are, I've triple checked.) I've flashed CWM recovery and TWRP recovery, and TWRP cannot fix permissions, but CWM recovery can, but neither can flash a single ROM. I've tried sideloading a rom but i get this error from the CMD window
Code:
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)' *
. I'm at my wits end here. The bootloader is perfectly fine, it works 100% but I can't flash a single thing from recovery. I've flashed non-corrupted recoveries, and still I cannot flash a thing.
You have flashed the latest TWRP via fastboot and it still wont flash roms? Also, what bootloader are you on?

What tablet do you have?
From where did you download which recovery for which Asus tablet.
Sounds like the recovery version doesn't match the device.

Asus Tf700 32 GB. I got the recovery from the TWRP website. In answer to the boot loader question, I have no idea how to check. All I know is that I can choose between RCK, Cold Boot, Fast boot and Wipe Data.

Have you ever unlocked the bootloader? (If not: do so by searching on Asus' site for the Unlock Bootloader Tool v7) It's a simple apk which you install and then check and let it unlock.
Only then, you can start flashing!
If you already have unlocked, maybe you sent it in (?) Or flashed an official Asus rom (?), you might want to unlock it again.
Let us know if any of these answers above helped

If you have the 4 icons that indicates JB.
Sounds like the custom recovery is not installed if your on the RCK icon and press the up volume rocker and nothing happens.

Unlocking it would require an OS to be installed, but none is installed because I was wiping to install a different ROM. I have unlocked it. In response to the boot loader, yes, it has 4 icons. So I guess it is the JB boot loader. When I go to RCK it does boot recovery but from there on its unable to open any zips besides any backups I have. When I reload a backup it doesn't install the OS, but it restores everything else.

Can you get adb shell access to your recovery?
Which ZIP are you actually trying to flash? What is the exact error message from the recovery? Try running md5sum (inside the adb shell) on the file you want to flash. Check the output of "mount". Check if /cache/recovery/log contains interesting info.

Alright, I'll have to try that when I get home in about 3-4 hours. I'll get back to you on that.

OK, I assumed that you're not using data2sd. 1. Make sure your microsdcard is good (reformat and recopy your backup or rom if needed),2. Boot into twrp and wipe cache, dalvik cache, factory reset, wipe system, wipe internal then finally the most important part, FORMAT SDCARD. Now reflash a new rom or try to restore from backup. I would try step#2 first. Good luck.
EDIT: format sdcard instead of wipe sdcard.

TWRP loop possible progress

I haven't seen this written anywhere yet but I've found something weird with the TWRP loop, months back I used the asus system wipe and got stuck in the TWRP loop because I supposedly erased all the data and file structures on my system but every now and then I keep checking for fixes and playing around with the tablet, today I charged it up again and went into TWRP, on the PC (win 7) ran the cmd "ADB reboot bootloader", for the hell of it I chose the middle option, the android, is said cold booting linux, the chrome asus logo came up with the spinning dot animation and I just waited and then it began updating my app's and my system loaded right up, everything was there. There's no sd-card in the external slot so it's pulling straight from the tablet, wifi connected, all my apps began updating from the marketplace, I can download, TWRP just says the tablet is blank. It seems to have no root access anymore though, hopefully this can be helpful. Also if I reboot it goes right back to TWRP but if I run the reboot bootloader cmd and choose the android it starts right back up without having to update everything again.

so if you can get to bootloader. why dont you fastboot flash the blob file for the latest update? this would install system and new bootloader and stock recovery. from there regaining control of tablet. then just fastboot flash twrp and flash a custom rom....just a thought but if your getting into bootloader you should be able to flash blob.
I tried that right when I saw fast boot coming up, nothing would go through, I did fix it by using the method posted by Buster by using fast boot to systematically erase everything one by one then flash new firmware, just thought this info might be helpful, it's almost like twrp becomes a separate partition when you use asus wipe since everything is still there and bootable

I figured it out. I downgraded my bootloader back to 4.1(I know it went because I had the fastboot USB icon back) flashed the correct recovery and wiped everything. My data partition got corrupted. Got back into a working environment and flashed 4.2.1 again, with the proper recovery.

[Q] One S Stuck in bootloop after installing Viper 3.0.0

Hi Guys,
Yesterday I installed Viper One S 3.0.0 on my Phone.
Installation went ok. Used TWRP by the way.
After the message of succesful installation i rebooted the Phone.
Now it's stuck in a bootloop. I can get into recovery, but there I cannot do anything. It doesn't seem to see the Internal storage, so restoring the backup I made of the stock ROM is also not possible.
Anyone an idea how to get this ROM to work, or how I can get back to the Stock firmware? I kinda need this Phone.
And does anyone know if the SD card is wiped? Or just not visible?
Any help would be much appriciated.:good::good::good:

Hi,
I had the same problem, i had installed the viper rom twice (second time without wiping) and then it worked. I also had the 'no ds card found' error. This fixed it for me:
1) Use the All-in-One-Kit and flash your recovery back to stock
2) Boot into the bootloader and choose to "clear storage" and afterwards to reset to factory defaults.
3) Go back to the all-in-one-kit and flash a CWM recovery version again.
4) Reboot into recovery (CWM). Your /sdcard should now be mounted and visible.

Thanks for the update. I have the Toolkit, but which button is for the Stock Recovery?
Ok so I'm a bit further. I Flashed an Original Recovery I found in the thread of the Toolkit. That didn't boot.
But afterwards I flashed the TWRP again. Now I see the SD card again.
Only problem now is to send a ROM to the SD card for installation.
ADB is not working properly on my WIndows 7 X64 machine.
Anybody any ideas on that??

TWRP has a mount option. Connect your device to your computer then press MOUNT from twrp. That should solve your problem.

You can reboot your phone in recovery, in TWRP select mount, wait a minute, and then Windows 8 should 'see' your device

After 2 times installation (1 with TWRP Wipe, and then 1 with Wipe from Aroma installer) it worked.
1st install worked until I rebooted. Then bootloop again.
2nd time wipe from Aroma and all is working fine now.

USB connected to my WIN8 machine after all, and i was able to copy the Viper 3.1.0 rom to the SD.
After 2 times installation (1 with TWRP Wipe, and then 1 with Wipe from Aroma installer) it worked.
1st install worked until I rebooted. Then bootloop again.
2nd time wipe from Aroma and all is working fine now.
Everybody thank you for helping. Much appriciated.:good::good::good::good::good:

Nice going! goed gedaan!
Just 1 little thing I found. Maybe someone knows how to fix it.
Every now and then the Phone just reboots. Then it works fine for a while. Is this a known issue?
Besides that I'm loving this ROM. It's fast, customizable it just works great!! Respect to the Developer!!

Can not reboot to recovery

I'm trying to flash an update to PAC Rom, but I can't get my phone to reboot to recovery (or even shut down).
When I use the power menu, no matter what I choose, the phone does a hot boot. When I hold power and volume down it will go to bootloader then I can access TWRP, but I can't clear dalvik or cache as it says that it can't mount the partitions. The ROM runs fine however and I can access all my data so the cache can't be corrupt.
What can I do here? Thanks to those who help!
Sounds like somethings wrong with your recovery. Get into the bootloader and reflash TWRP using "fastboot flash recovery FileNameOfTWRP.img"

Would using flashify work here?
It's been a recurring theme on the PAC forum

Yea that should work too, but if not, fastboot is the way to go.
EDIT : Very very strange. Flashing TWRP again via Flashify got it to work. It seems something in PAC Rom is corrupting the recovery. I think if I get this all worked out then I'm going to have to go back to DK until it's all worked out. I wish there was another ROMs with all the same features as these two but got updates (whereas DK doesn't any more) and is stable enough to DD (lots of FC with PAC).
EDIT 2: Just tried to reboot into recovery again. After booting teh ROM just for a few minutes the recovery was corrupted. I can't access internal memory from recovery any more, even if I get it to boot. It doesn't make any sense as the ROM has full access to it all.
To be clear, TWRP says Internal Storage - 0

That worked! Thank you!
I actually used to go around the Q&A forum telling people to do just that when they were having issues with wiping on early TWRP versions. Surprised I didn't think to try it. All back on DK now and hunting for a new ROM. :victory:

Sounds like you solved it, but I think you could've also done an adb reboot recovery command. Not sure if that works though since I usually only use fastboot.

After flashing teh recovery again, I could get INTO it, but the data was not showing up so I couldn't actually do anything from within TWRP. It read I had 0mb internal storage.
