Tablet Bricked? - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I think i just bricked my tablet. When I boot the tablet it will not let me use fastboot because it load TWRP no matter if i press the down or up volume also my computer wont read it due to TWRP load. I tried using a SD card but seems that it doesn't mount internal or external drive log: (E: Unable to mount internal storage.)
If any one have any clue how you fix this your help is appreciated.
Thank you

I guess no one have any ideas how to un-brick my tablet.

While in twrp connect the device to PC and run command "adb devices" to see if it is recognized in adb, if so then run command "adb reboot-bootloader" which should boot the tab to bootloader.

I think it should be adb reboot bootloader without the hyphen -

Not sure, I always use it with hyphen and can confirm it works fine but may also work fine without - I'll try next time without
I also use hyphen with fastboot reboot-bootloader and works fine

Thank you for the reply sorry it took me some time to respond. However when i run adb devices on command prompt it only says "List of devices attached" and nothing more.. it wont even let me do a adb reboot.

[Q] Stuck on Google logo. Unable to push image file to phone... Please help.

Tried various possible solutions and still can't get past the Google logo. Installed adb and Samsung driver but when executing commands such as "abd remount" or "adb push file.zip \sdcard\" in cmd I get an error saying "device not found".
Does anyone know how I could resolve this issue?
I tried clearing the cache and wiping the data from the phone, and even heating the phone with a hair dryer. I'd very much appreciate any help.
looks like you still be able to get in reovery ? if so , then nothing you should worry , just flash a new ROM
Do you mean like a boot image or a recovery image?
If so then you need to put phone in fastboot mode, hold volume up and power til it comes up on screen, then on command prompt on your computer type in fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxx.img (xxxxx is the name of the file like cwm5.0.2.0.img or whatever)
That should give you a working recovery to flash roms from.
Is your boot loader unlocked?
If you wanna mount then just go to mounts and storage and mount USB storage and it will show up on your computer!

Thanks for your reply, seems to be hanging on waiting for device. Fastboot appears to be locked and it just hangs on "waiting for device" when I enter the command fastboot oem unlock... Not sure where to go from here.

Hmmm try going to cmd prompt and typing in adb devices, if you get nothing then your adb isn't set up properly and you need to go into setting and change the path on your computer.
I know the details are sketchy but gimme a min and I will find you a link

Find the Android sdk folder in your computer, move it to the root of C.
I don't think adb is where this guide says it is, there is a read me in the folder where it was saying it has moved to the platform tools folder.
So anyway find the path to the file and put it where the guide says and you should be on the ball.
Forget adb. You need to use fastboot.
Open a command prompt in the directory with fastboot or cd into it.
Put phone in fastboot mode.
On the command prompt type fastboot devices.
You will see your serial number. If you don't recheck and make sure you did everything. Sdk PDA drivers if need be etc.
Fastboot flash recovery custom recovery img name.img
Boot into recovery
Mounts and storage.
Mount SD card
Put a rom for you device on there.
Unmount
Wipe everything but sdcard from recovery.
Flash the rom by going to install zip from SD card......
Okay still stuck trying to connect to my phone. I haven't been able to get my serial number show when typing fastboot devices in cmd. adb is set up and seems to be working but the list of devices is blank when I type in adb devices. The phone was put into fastboot mode both times. I get <waiting for device> when I try
fastboot flash recovery clockwork-5.0.2-crespo.img
I think the bootloader may be locked as it does say LOCKED under lock state, which is probably the reason why I can't get the recovery image to work. I couldn't install PDANet as it wanted to connect to my phone while in debugging mode at the end of the installation. Would it be possible that fastboot oem unlock won't work with without having PDANet installed? I'd really appreciate any further help on this topic.
You need the drivers.

I have the Google USB driver package installed from SDK Manager. I had tried to install some other Samsung driver found on another post but it wouldn't install.
Turns out drivers weren't fully installed, managed to get PDANet installed and could connect to the phone with fastboot devices. Serial number was displayed in cmd. Only problems lies with unlocking the bootloader. fastboot oem unlock fails giving an error: too many links. Anyone have a solution to this?

Did you try booting into bootloader in the first place? Volume up+Power
Then you can use fastboot. Forget PDAnet. Just install SDK and ADB

Yeah I was in bootloader at the time, but I noticed that the Lock-State said locked. So I figured I must first use fastboot oem unlock. If I was to try flash with a stock recovery image would I still need to unlock the bootloader? Like I said I was able to use fastboot devices and get my phones serial number to show up, so I think SDK and ADB is properly installed, path set correctly etc.

I don't think you need to unlock the boot loader to flash a recovery image.
I may be wrong but I remember someone saying that once. I had mine unlocked before I had the chance to try it out. What happens when you type in fastboot oem unlock?

Thanks for your reply, I followed the steps just now and got the exact same error. Before I was trying fastboot oem unlock while in platform-tools but this time I had downloaded the nexussrootICS.zip file, and extracted it to the root of C. I tried fastboot devices and my serial shows up and after fastboot oem unlock I get "status read failed: too many links."
The only difference I seem to have is that in my device manager I have Android Device > ADB Interface, as opposed to SAMSUNG Android Device > ADB Interface.
Not a big difference but that's all I can think of.
the same issue for me. is there any working solution for that?
I recently had success in recovering from this issue.

[Q] TWRP problem

I want to root my tablet so I flashed TWRP 2.6.0.0 using fastboot everything works fine.
But now I want to install the zip to root the tablet, problem is TWRP cannot mount any storage, internal sdcard external sdcard nothing at all is alway says E:Can't mount 'xxx' on anything I tap.
I tried CWM, and 2.5.0.0 and nothing seems to work.
I can boot fine in the stock OS, everything works fine but that
My bootloader is 10.6.1.27.1-20130711
Can anyone help me?
Ok now it is bad, I tried to factory reset using the bootloader (power + volume down)
It booted in the buged TWRP and now it keeps booting in TWRP and I cannot even reach the bootloader
Try using adb commands to boot into bootloader.
ADB reboot-bootloader is the command that I think you must use. Of course, use adb devices to see if your tab is listed.

I cannot get this to work on Windows 8, I have Asus Transformer ADB interface lister in device manager but I cannot see my device with the adb devices command.
Also, in TWRP when I try adb sideload it says failed.
win 8 is the worst OS you want to use when it comes to fastboot/adb (even with secpol.msc full admin access)
get your hands on a win7 / vista /xp
oh and TWRP2.6 is kinda bugged - flash 2.5 or lower
check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12 but skip the steps you dont need (system, data userdata etc.)

I'm now on my laptop with Win7,
Ok so I tried to reset my device with a needle, but I cannot get it to the bootloader.
Still stuck in TWRP, I tried to go with ADB, I installer google usb driver from Android SDK, I cannot get it to be recognized by ADB, in the device manager I only see Transformer with a yellow "!", I tried with the Asus usb driver, nothing either.
Is there something else I can do to get this recognized with ADB? (fastboot doesn't work either)
I tried unpluging all, uninstalling all and reinstalling like 3 times.
Thanks for your help

fastboot should work. hold Vol-down and reset the device and keep vol-down pressed. it should go to fastboot. when you're in fastboot connect it to your laptop and see if the OS recognized your device - if not you have a driver issue. resolve that by installing the asus driver or the newest google generic drivers.
when you can see your device on dosprompt/powershel with fastboot devices then continue with getting recovery to work.
btw- stuck in twrp means? booting twrp (teamwin screen) but not responding?
good luck

can you boot into twrp? and i mean just boot into it? so that you see install, backup, restore etc. buttons?
if yes - twrp has an adb mode
connect your tab in twrp to your pc (check that you can see it - adb devices) if yes type: adb reboot bootloader
and you should boot into that. test it with fastboot devices.
most important thing is that you get into fastboot or a working recovery to flash or prepare to flash a (custom) rom back onto your device.

dude - you can't boot into android anymore, you can't boot into fastboot to your own accord - yet you try to sideload stuff in twrp for what ever reason.
i gave you more hints and tips in my previous posts and link to get it to work yet it eems you did none.
so don't get me wrong - but what excactly is your goal here?
My goal is to get it working again...
I don't know if you've been reading my post but I did try everything you told me without sucess.
None of the tips I tried got me adb or fastboot working the sideload mode of TWRP doesn't work.

yes i read your posts - but im still unclear what you are trying to accomplish with sideload?
ok from the start:
when in twrp - connect your tab to your laptop - is windows working with it (drivers ok?) "adb devices" shows the device? if yes - adb reboot-bootloader (or fastboot reboot bootloader, not quite sure atm since i'm at work without micro usb cable) when issued the command is the tab rebooting? - and if yes, is it rebooting into twrp or fastboot? what screen is shown after that?

when its connected - is device manager at least showing it as faulty or not at all? (yellow triangle exclamation mark thingy, i just installed asus on my VM) -> see attached file
UPDATE: I succeeded to go in fastboot mode
I couldn't get my tab to be recognized by windows so I installer my Nexus 4 using the toolkit, when it was succesfully installed I could manually install my tab since the "android devices" option appeared in the list when you want to manually install a driver in the devices manager. So I could choose Asus ADB interface.
Now I can boot into Android, but it will go into TWRP as soon as I restart my tablet.
Now I will try the link you sent me to get TWRP recognize my storage so I can flash a new rom, I will let you know if something go wrong.
Thanks for helping

[Q] Stuck at Boot/Starting Apps

Hey folks!
Again a problem with my little phone.
Today I got similar reboots, after about 5 it got stuck at the bootscreen.
Tried to wipe cache+dalvik, booting it up again, but after it prepared all apps it stucks at the "Starting Apps" window..
Also flashed another kernel and recovery. Nothing worked so far..
Any help, because I don't want to wipe data because I made some important photos today and I don't wanna miss then..
Thanks in advance,

First of all you connect your phone to PC and try to copy all the content of /sdcard to your PC. If it doesn't work reboot your phone to fastboot and connect it to your PC with CMD (in fastboot folder) running and enter the command "adb pull /sdcard C:/" without quotes, Also you can replace C:/ to any address where you would like to copy all your SD data.
After that you can flash any ROM to get your device in working condition.
If you have any query do ask or you may end up losing all your data.

Why don't you try the fastboot method.
Put your phone into Fastboot by pressing volume down+power button. Connect it to your PC, fastboot would recognize it for sure. You then enter the command. You can even use adb from fastboot.

Is your boot loader unlocked, if not you'll have to unlock it first (but doing so will void your warranty).
Assuming that you have a unlocked device follow the steps below to get all your data. (I myself tried and it worked, so it must work on your device also)
1. Make sure you have installed drivers for your Moto G, if not then do it.
2. Download the adb file to access your phone during fast boot.
3. Download the TWRP recovery 2.7.0.0 by dhacker for falcon (Moto G) on your PC and copy it in the adb folder.
4. Rename the downloaded file to "recovery.img" without quotes.
5. Connect you phone in fastboot mode to your PC and flash the recovery by command "fastboot flash recovery recovery. img" without quotes.
7. On your phone then go to recovery option and press volume up key until phone vibrates. The phone will then go to recovery mode.
8. On your PC, in command prompt(adb) enter command "adb pull /data/media/0/ C:\Moto" without quotes. The process will start and may take hours depending on no's of file and their size.
P.S. I won't be able to answer any more of your question as I won't have data connection any more. I'm sure if you will follow all the steps properly, you will get all your data. If you can't understand anything then just Google it.
Phone doesn't proceed from boot animation!
Guys!
This would be my 1st time here. I've never faced any sort of problem with any of my android devices but this one.
My phone got lost a week back. So, I used "android device manager" to wipe/lock the phone but I think it didn't as the phone was switched off all this while.
So, some gentleman found my phone and returned it to me just today. I put it up for charging. It popped up 0% battery screen and turned on after 10-15min.
As soon as the boot animation(earth/buildings) finished it jumped to a black screen.
It has been on charging for last 3 hours.
So my questions are
1) Can I make back up of the data without turning it on/formatting it?
2) How can I make it to work?
Thanks a lot in advance!

[Q] Stuck in boot loop, can't detect in ADB or fastboot

Hey guys, I really need some help here, I'm not good at any of this stuff - my OPO just randomly got stuck on a boot loop, I have never played with the USB debugging or any of that or tried to flash anything else, I was using just stock cyanogen.
I've been reading around and I've downloaded all the drivers but still can't detect the device when I do the Shift + Right Click --> Run CMD "fastboot devices" or "adb devices".
I never enabled options such as the USB debugging or anything else, can someone please help me out? I'm really clueless to all of this stuff.
You must first put your phone in fastboot mode.
To put your phone in fastboot mode, turn it off, and then hold power+volume down until you get a screen with only the cyanogenmod logo. If you get to this screen, you're in fastboot mode. If you have installed the proper drivers in your computer, you should be able to connect to the phone from your computer. Connect your usb cable to the phone and the computer, open a dos box and type "fastboot devices". If you get a series of letters and numbers then you're OK.

This, except that's the wrong button combo (power + volume down is for recovery). Use power + volume up to get to fastboot mode and then try the "fastboot devices" command.

I'm using both
fastboot devices
adb devices
Fastboot devices comes back with nothing in the CMD box, ADB devices gives a message that says 'Devices:' but there are none listed.

There's no point in using adb commands in fastboot because only fastboot commands work. What drivers do you have installed?

I've looked around for all sorts of drivers, I have the universal ADB, android SDK slim or something, is there a specific one I need?

Uninstall whatever drivers you have installed, reboot your PC, install these drivers, reboot your PC, connect your phone, test fastboot (fastboot devices).

I tried that, but again no response in CMD when I type fastboot devices.
Although I just tried and am able to boot into recovery mode, would I be able to do some sort of factory reset there? I've already tried to wipe user data but I'm still getting a bootloop there.

I can't remember what capabilities the stock recovery has, but if it's there it's worth trying.

I managed to get it to work after resetting a bunch of the options, thanks so much for your help with this (even if I didn't get it to fastboot mode)
I have the same problem.

i am also facing the same problem that phone loops into fast boot mode whenever turned on i do totally every kind of drivers softwares and etc like tenorshare but all in vain i guess at last that phone must be enabled usb debuging in order to be detected as a active adb device,i pratically do this stuff by using another phone with enabled debuging and it was an active device andd can be processed further but when i disabled the usb debugging of same phone it was not working with adb interface i hope you understand,,,,but a miracle happenend i removed the battery for about a week and suddenly i pluged and try to turn it on hola it starts from roms boot logo

Moto G Freezes on startup logo and recovery logo screen

Hi guys,
I have a rooted Device with CM and TWRP installed, but someting happenend using the device and my Moto G got stuck on startup logo and Recovery TWRP logo, with adb I have acess to adb shell but everything else like adb reboot bootloader etc doesn't seems to work, with adb shell I have realized that the TWRP wasn't running 'cause when I use the interface on shell I get this message
$twrp wipe cache
"TWRP does not appear to be running. Waiting for TWRP to start"
Is there any way to install a new recovery via adb shell or reinstall a new rom, factory reset or something like that to make my cellphone work again?
Thanks,
If you are okay to wipe internal storage, the following fastboot command will probably make TWRP load again:
fastboot erase userdata​
fastboot flash recovery newrecovery.img - is a way to reflash recovery, however the above command may still be required.
The problem is that with fastboot the device is not recognized, only when I open the recovery mode...
The logo freezes but the device is reconigzed with adb devices...

What OS are you using? Maybe try the ADB commands:
adb shell
wipe data​

It's the latest CM
I'll try, but the last time I got this message.
"TWRP does not appear to be running. Waiting for TWRP to start . . .
Press CTRL + C to quit."
EDIT
using
adb shell
twrp wipe data
happened the same above

I meant what OS on PC are you using. Stop adding the phrase 'twrp' - type the command as I wrote it.

Sorry, I'm using Windows 10, if I use only wipe data, the command wipe is not reconigzed.

There are many threads on Win10 and usb driver issues. If you don't want to try to fix fastboot on Windows, you could boot into a Ubuntu Linux LiveCD and install fastboot there.

Yes, I thought about that too =x

Guys the problem was that I've not installed the drivers before, after doing this, I just installed the stock rom from motorola.
Thanks

Install the Minimal Fastboot & ADB package and the Motorola USB drivers, use the mfastboot package and install the stock ROM as per the instructions provided, but ignore the disassembly part, unless you have your phone does not respond to keypresses.
