Hello everyone. I am new around here and totally new with android devices. I got my tf300t, installed twrp and flashed to the newest android version. Then my dad suddendly pressed something like restore to the manufactory setting and after that it rebooted and just keep booting with teamwin logo. I can not access twrp recovery mod, it is just in boot loop. I managed to get adb to work, but no fastboot since it does not boot into recovery mode. When I am in adb I can browse the device but the adb reboot bootloader does not work at all. It just hangs there. I can not power off the device because it does not let me, I can not boot into recovery mode with powerbutton and volume down button. After a long power button press it only reboots. I even tried with hard reset button but still the same. Could You please help me somehow? I really need that device for school and I would like to get back into the stock android. Thank you so much for any help.
//edit : I also forget to mention, when I execute adb deviced it shows:
List of devices attached
0123456789ABCDEF recovery
Also the device is unlocked.
Did you tried: adb reboot recovery ?
Did you tried to flash recovery again?
Be sure to use the right recovery for your bootloader. Did you upgraded bootloader to latest ASUS one? One then you're able to flash current recoveries like TWRP like 2.8.5.0 oder 2.8.7.0.
Edit: Also take a look here -> http://droidmodderx.com/prime/?page_id=74
Hello sir. Thank you for answering. I tried adb reboot recovery and it just hangs to be executed... But the tablet is still flashing the teamwin logo. I have the same bootloop as the guy on youtube called Francis Domingo and video called Samsung s5 stuck at TWRP Recovery boot loop (unfortunately I can not add link here).
//edit: Thank you for the link. It look like I have to use option 1a. Is it safe to use that command and I will not make it even more bricked? Thank you so much
//edit2: Now I just realized how to turn off the device to stop from rebooting. I just long pressed power button and up volume button and after the screen went black I kept holding the up volume button. I didn't work with down volume button or if I stopped holding the up volume button after black screen it rebooted again.
//edit3 : Let's say if I get to the twrp mode with option 1a from the link, what do I have to do next to get back to the stock rom (I think it was something like 4.0.3) ? Thank you
What the guy does in 1a is wiping mmcblk0p3.
Afaik mmcblk0p3 is the staging partition. That would be my guess anyway if you had access to fastboot. Usally when you can't boot into recovery, something is wrong in staging. I got the same problem 2 days ago. In this case you usually wipe staging partition via fastboot.
Since you got no fastboot access, you have to try with adb.
After cleaning the staging partition you can flash any recovery you want back again.
The recovery must be flashed to mmcblk0p4 <- 4!!! is the recovery partition. (but you should wipe mmcblk0p3 (3!!!) before)
So I would say, try what solution 1a suggests.
Edit: You can go back to stock android if you want, but there is no reason for this. My advice would be to unlock and root your device, upgrade to latest boot loader (which is done by upgrading to latest stock rom), then flash TWRP 2.8.5.0 and then a useful ROM on top. I'm using the one from timduru which is very nice. You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/development/rom-t2932783
Thank you for the answer. Could you please write a step by step to get out of brick and to get the stock version, because the newer one I installed was many times slower. The reason why I would like to have step by step is because I don't wanna mess it even more than it is. Thank you so much.
//the stock rom was much more faster than the one I have installed, I mean... the boot time wad unbelievable slow, same with responses and wifi problem. If there is any other faster rom than stock I would be happy but I don't wanna mess with any bugs or slow boot speed and I can not wait minutes until it boots.
Hm, try the Option 1a from the link.
If done, boot into current recovery. Tell me which version and which recovery do you have.
Top on this we can decide what to do to flash a good ROM.
I had the exact same thing happen to me yesterday. Option #1 worked for me.
I did the steps from option #1 and powered down using the volume up + power. I then tried to boot into TWRP recovery, which only reproduced the same issue.
I redid the option #1 steps, and this time powered down using the power + volume down. I powered back up normally, and it rebooted normally into the ROM.
The tablet now works normally, and I can also boot back into TWRP recovery with no issues.
Thanks for the thread and the link.
Thank you so much Catscratch! After I executed both command from option 1a I can get into the screen, where it shows three options: RCK, Android, Wipe Data
In the top left corner, there is written:
Key driver not found.. Booting OS
Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "WW_epad-10.6.1.27.5-20130902" A03
Starting Fastboot USB download protocol
The tablet can boot into the last ROM but as I said, I would like to have the faster and less buggy rom than this. When I open the settings and click about button there is written: CyanongenMod: 12.1-20150814-NIGHTLY-tf300t and Android version 5.1.1.
If I start RCK it just brings me back to the loop, but now I have fastboot available as it said above and I can list the fastboot devices on computer, which I couldn't before. Should I just execute this command from the computer "fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob" and then "fastboot reboot" or should I download ROM from asus.com/Tablets/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/HelpDesk_Download/ -> OS Android -> Firmware and now I don't know which should I choose: If JP or CN or WW or US or TW (Probably US right?). After that should I execute "fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery firmware.img" and then "fastboot reboot" ? Or which ROM should I download to make it even faster and less buggy than stock ROM? Thank you so much again, You saved my tablet
//After I unzipped downloaded US ROM there is no img file. If I remember right the img file is only recovery to reflash the actual one and then when I start the twrp recovery I will select zip file with rom right?
OK, first of all to continue...I assume you got root access. (I think you should have, because you already got CM installed)
Next. Downloads.
Download: https://twrp.me/devices/asusTF300T.html
Also Download ROM+SuperSU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/development/rom-t2932783
And GApps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/app-minimal-gapps-gapps-lp-20150107-1-t2997368
Push all files to sdcard with "adp push" or in CM. Like you want.
Flash TWRP. (you can skip this step if you already got TWRP 2.8.5.0 or higher version). You don't need latest one.
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
- or -
adb reboot recovery
Now, go into recovery and wipe everything:
- cache
- dalvik
- system
- data
After that flash ZIPs from sdcard. (use "add more zips" option)
1. ROM
2. Gapps
3. SuperSU
Next: Wipe cache and dalvik again (only these two).
Reboot and wait. First boot can take some minutes.
Thank you so much again. Everything work perfectly The rom looks a lot faster than the older one I had there. No issues yet at all. Just awesome. Thank you so much. Really appreciate your kindness and help. You have a nice day !
Thanks. Have fun with your tf300.

Hello.
I have a tablet Asus TF700T. I have uploaded it Android 6.0 and all nicely worked only at night began to restart - bootloop stands on a log Asus 1 minute and restart and continue standing. I tried to enter TWRP because he had loaded and the same, entered into fastboot and I have uploaded new and without rebooting launched himself but could not mount any partition when I Flash android 6.0 or so at first it was only after the reboot mounting partitions, but in this case after the restart and entering the TWRP TWRP stands for the string with a minute and restrat, other recovery is the same. I went again and I gave in Fastboot fastboot erase system cache recovery, the date - I know that the date did not go, and now I have uploaded TWRP tablet does not enter at all into Fastboot. After turning himself enter into TWRP only that stands as before for string TWRP a minute and restart again and the same thing. The bootloader is unlocked. Originally it was on Android 4.2.1. After the combination POWER + VOL tablet enters the APX. But I do not have copies of the files and blob nvflash do not know if you can do something.
Is it possible to have it repaired, or is just replace the motherboard.

Post #45 from this thread helped me recover my tablet...may work for you
http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/development/rom-t3453702/page5
Okay, so I had been out of the flashing game for a while now, and recently got a Pixel 128Gb after using my trusty Nexus 6P, and I attempted to do Fastboot boot-to-root.img, which now has me stuck in a weird bootloop issue.
It boots, gives me the stupid can't be checked for corruption ****, gets to the white Google Screen, then there is a weird visual glitch, a blue line appears near the bottom of the screen, then the phone immediately reboots and does it all over again after doing a ramdump.
I can't even get into recovery to manually flash the stock image, as soon as I try to select RECOVERY it jumps to the boot screen where it tells me again that it cant be checked for corruption, and then starts the bootloop all over again.
ADB cant recognize it for whatever reason either. So now I'm probably not your average ****ed, I'm advanced ****ed.
Any body have any ideas?
boot-to-root is for Android O, you have to follow this guide
I had this same exact problem and I was able to fix it by reflashing the factory image. You said adb cannot recognize your device. But what about fastboot? If you reboot into the bootloader, connect to your PC, and execute "fastboot devices", does your device show? Download the latest factory image here. Extract it and execute flash-all.bat. Let me know if this helps.
You don't understand. When you attempt to reboot and go into recovery the manual way, the moment you select Recovery, the phone reboots and attempts to boot up, fails, performs write to ext4 ramdump, then loops over and over. ADB won't work because it wiped with the fastboot oem unlock which wiped the device, meaning no developer mode, which means no usb debugging.
Doesn't matter. Google is sending me a new one.

Fastboot and recovery are two different things. If you hold volume down + power it'll show you the bootloader screen (fastboot), this is where you'd usually select recovery. But if you stay on that screen, you can flash images to your phone. To fix your bootloop, download the boot.img from the stock ROM and use these commands in fastboot:
fastboot flash --slot _a boot boot.img
fastboot flash --slot _b boot boot.img
Then reboot normally.
falsh factory image inside the bootloader, don't need to go to recovery.
Step by Step
Thanks to previous experience with hacking devices (Android, Sony, etc.), patience and only allowing myself to freak out for a few seconds. A couple Google searches lead me to reflashing my Google Pixel 128GB and not sending it back to OEM.
So for the less patient I will break down the steps to do stop the bootlooping.
DON'T PANIC
Either hold down power until your phone turns completely off or wait for the bootlooping to do it for you. It usually only loops a few times before powering down.
Hold Power + Volume Down until it boots into the Fastboot mode.
[This is the screen that says you Phone Stats (serial #, cpu, ram, etc.) and has an Android picture on it laying down.]
Connect your Phone to your computer using a USB 3.0 port.
[My PC wouldn't recognize my phone at all when connected to USB 2.0]
Download from Full Factory Image from Google. { https://developers.google.com/android/images }
[Mine was "7.1.2 (N2G47O, May 2017)" for my Project Fi 128GB Pixel, but make sure you get the one for your phone]
Navigate to where your SDK/Fastboot folder is on your PC
[Unless you moved it, it is usually "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk" by default.]
Unzip the Contents of your Full Factory Image zip file to this location in it's own directory (for cleanliness).
Open a Command Prompt with a Right-Click "Run as Administrator" and navigate you your new zip file's directory.
["\platform-tools\sailfish-n2g47o" or whatever version of the Full Factory Image you used was.]
Type in "flash-all.bat" and wait for your phone to finish its installation. Your phone will restart itself into Fastboot Mode many times during this process.
Once it is finished, you phone should boot into its normal "First Boot Sequence" like you just started it up for the very first time.
At this point you can try flashing something else or use a different technique to update your recovery mode or ROM.
Good Luck.

BE CAREFUL!
There are always risks involved when you start messing around with a device.
If something goes wrong, you may end up with a non-working "bricked" device.
This is especially true when you start flashing partitions. (In this case boot.)
Disclaimer
I am not responsible for your non-working "bricked" devices.
I have a few of my own.
Requirements
Barns & Noble Nook 7" BNTV450
A computer with working adb and fastboot
USB cable
WiFi connection
Magisk Manager (Link below)
Stock boot image (Link below)
Tested on:
BNTV450-v1.0.2-20161230 Security patch October 5, 2016
BNTV450-v2.0.4-20170927 Security patch August 5, 2017
BNTV450-v2.0.5-20170110 Security patch November 5, 2017 ota update
macOS 10.13.x
Windows 7 Pro
Steps
Unlock bootloader
Boot Magisk patched boot image
Pull stock boot and recovery images from device
Use Magisk to patch pulled stock image
Test and flash new patched boot image
Notes:
Google updates were needed to get everything working correctly.
PlayServices and WebView
Mac users. As with some other devices, I had to unplug and plugin the USB cable between some of the fastboot commands.
fastboot flash boot patched_boot.img and fastboot boot bntv4-recovery.img
Magisk:
There have been a lot of changes in Magisk since I originally used it to root.
Way too many to mention so, just the basics that apply to this device.
Newer versions of Magisk use the Download directory instead of creating and using the MagiskManager directory.
Some apps search for this directory and used it to determine if the device is rooted.
If you previously used Magisk to root and have a MagiskManager directory, you will want to delete it.
To update Magisk Manager.
Use the update option, it will download and install the newest version.
To update Magisk.
The safest way is to patch the boot image again. Test and flash.
The Direct Install option works but, may lead to a non-desirable outcome.
To uninstall Magisk.
Test boot your original boot image to make sure it works.
Check with Magisk Manager, it should say Magisk not installed.
If so, then flash your stock boot image back using fastboot.
If your stock boot image will not boot, then you are stuck with Magisk patched boot images.
Hardware Keys:
Power and Volume Up = Recovery Mode
Power and Volume Down = Factory Mode
It will show on the bottom Left (Sideways on the top left) Detecting boot mode. With bootloader unlocked it flashes this message very fast so you might not see it.
I still can not produce the same results continuously across mine. The newer ones, that came with v2.0.5 seem to work but, the older ones still it's a 50 % chance if I can get it to work. The bricked ones, do not seem to register the key combo on boot.

Unlock Bootloader
THIS WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
Unlocking the bootloader WILL wipe and Factory Reset your device. Make sure to copy, backup and logout of everything before you begin.
Note: adb and fastboot need to be installed and working.
On device

Follow the prompts on the device.
Unlock bootloader?
If you unlock the bootloader,you will be able to install custom operating system software on this phone.
A custom OS is not subject to the same testing as the original OS, and can cause your phone and installed applications to stop working properly.
To prevent unauthorized access to your personal data,unlocking the bootloader will also delete all personal data from your phone(a "factory data reset").
Press the Volume UP/Down buttons to select Yes or No.
Yes (Volume UP):Unlocking(may void warranty).
No (Volume Down): Do not unlock bootloader.
After it returns to fastboot mode, use the power button to turn off, unplug it from computer and then turn on.
It will reboot a few times, including an Erasing... screen.
Once device reboots, run through the initial setup.
Note: Sometimes mine would get stuck on the nook .... animation screen. Give it a few minutes (I wait at least 5 minuets) then power off and power back on.
Note: You will now have the annoying boot delay and "Orange State" message.

volume button does not react
Hi
unlocking does not work
As mentioned in the other discussion, the volume up button does not seem to react and so the unlocking does not work. Also one user suggested using the reset button after pressing the volume up button for the unlock; that also does not work for me
Do u have any other suggestions to unlock ?;

I never ran into this problem. So short answer - No.
Can you point me to that other discussion?
What do you get if you run fastboot oem lks
fastboot oem unlock is supported on this device. You could give that command a try and see if there is a difference.
Not sure what you have tried.
I would start with "Factory Reset" in stock recovery. Skip through the initial setup and try again.
Note: Developer option menu has a toggle at the top, make sure it is turned On.

Volume up button not recognised while fastboot unlock
Hi
Here is the discussion thread that I was referring to where people are stuck with unresponsive volume up button for fastboot unlock
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nook-7/help/nook-rootable-t3510289
I didn't do the factory reset. So maybe I will do that and see if it works.
unlock not working
Hi
Just to further update you on your reply; i did a factory reset and tried to unlock the bootloader but i get to the same problem; the volume button does not respond; so stuck with the message 'press the volume up button to unlock the bootloader'
I did the fastboot oem lks and that commands executes well and it gives me a OK output.
Cheers & New year greetings!
Any update on the unlock issue
Hi
Is there any update on the unlock issue i reported some time back? My last update on this was executing the command => 'I did the fastboot oem lks and that commands executes well and it gives me OK output.'
not sure if my last update was interpreted in the right way; it does nothing when i type fastboot oem lks except saying it is OK (which i suppose is the expected output of fastboot oem lks). So i do not know how to get around the volume keys not being recognised to go further in unlocking
I still can not use the volume keys for the unlock as it does not seem to react. just stuck a bit on this
@arrmusic I guessed it it looked more like this.
Code:
fastboot oem lks
...
(bootloader) lks = 1
OKAY [ 0.000s]
finished. total time: 0.000s
lks = 0 would be unlocked.
I am looking for a way to un-brick these. I think that may be the best way to correct the button problem also.
What os version are you running? (BNTV450-vx.x.x-20xxxxx)
What do you get when you run fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability ?
Tested a few things tonight.
I was NOT able to re-lock the bootloader on either of my rooted devices.(BNTV450-v2.0.4)
Found some more inconsistencies with power and volume key boot combinations. (Among other things.)
"FAILED (remote: not support on security)" apparently is not just for unlocked devices.

v2.0.3 boot came from a supposed "N" rom for this device and was the first boot image I was able to make bootable. It was still API 23 "M" by the way.
I would have to find and unpack the original file to see what I edited to make it bootable.
All others are "dd" copies from my own device(s).

Scatter file for Mediatek MT8163, opening the tablet
Can you post the scatter file for the Mediatek MT8163?
I've been trying to make my own image dumps for the Nook 7, but have run into an issue where the device won't stay in a readable mode for SP Flash Tools long enough while the battery is still connected. So, the solution for most phones is to disconnect the battery and have it powered over USB only so that it won't go past the preloader and into the charging mode.
But I can't get the darned thing open! My phone has a similar style housing and I had to use a suction cup on the glass while prying at the edges to gain access. But for the Nook 7 its just not working.
Edit: This started while trying to soft load TWRP to make the image dumps. When I do
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
It tells me that the kernel address lies outside of memory. Its possible to supply an address to load it at with the fastboot command which you are supposed to learn from the scatter file. I found what I thought was a valid MT8163 scatter file but using the address found within did not fix the issue.
I forgot you mentioned that you didn't pull the original image from your device yourself. I've been trying to root this without relying on images from others. Your latest guide to pulling and modifying your own boot.img is a decent enough middle ground for me to use. Thanks.

So, I was dumb and went through with updating Magisk without checking this thread first, and now my tablet's stuck in a bootloop that I can't seem to get out of. @ipdev, do you have any ideas on how this happened/how to get out of it? The tablet can't get past the "Orange state your device has been unlocked etc. etc." screen, and I can't get it to boot into recovery either (using Power+Volume Down, is the combination something else on this tablet?). fastboot won't discover it either, probably because it reboots within seconds and never gets to a point where it could be recognized. I'm thinking of letting it bleed out until its battery dies (unfortunately, the battery is soldered and glued in, so I can't just disconnect it), and checking on it in the morning to see if it will be cooperative enough to let me flash the modified Magisk image.
@saagarjha
I have a few in the same condition. As you noticed, the battery is soldered in so the best you can do is disconnect the screen. (Connector to the right of battery.)
One of these days, I was going to try sp flashtools to see if I could recover one of mine. (I'm not sure if it works with these.)

I let the tablet run out of battery and then plugged it back in again and it immediately got stuck in the same bootloop, so it looks like it's actually bricked rather than just pretending. I think SP Flash Tools is the way to go at this point; we'd have to find a functioning preloader driver and scatter file to do that, however. It might be possible to simulate disconnecting the battery by shorting the battery's leads, but I'm not sure if this would work (or is even safe to do).
I was having trouble with unlocking the boot loader on my v1 launch version of this Nook. Recently I dropped it and got a new one via the replacement plan - this one was marked 'v2', came with a 2.x firmware that I wasn't able to even get on my launch Nook 7.
Anyway, this one unlocked without any problems. Thought this might be helpful to anybody having trouble unlocking the bootloader. Consider the revision of the Nook you have. Maybe the solution here is flashing the v2 firmwares to the v1? Hard to say.
unable to unlock
So I did "adb reboot bootloader" and the tablet rebooted and says "=> FASTBOOT mode..." on the screen.
I then did "fastboot flashing unlock" on the computer. Nothing happened on the device and my computer says "< waiting for device >". Could anyone please let me know what I did wrong? Thank you very much.
Hi There!
I'm exeriencing a wierd problem:
On my rooted Doogee S60, i was able to enter the built in recovery mode (and from there the fastboot mode) with Vol+ and Power.
Since i've installed a twrp recovery.img, pressing Vol+ and Power will launch the TWRP UI (wich i cant use, because my touchscreen is disabled).
Normal boot won't work eighter - i flashed a corrupted system.img file as it looks like (ooops). There is also the message at the Boot Screen saying:
"Orange State - Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. Your device will boot in 5 seconds"
... although these 5 seconds won't countdown and the device won't boot.
If i enter the TWRP, i can still access the ADB mode. So i can sideload stuff on the device, even the sd card is shown on pc. But the command
adb reboot fastloader
will reboot the phone, but not load the fastloader/fastboot - as it stucks at boot screen (orange state).
Any other ideas to access fastboot, due to flash the recovery.img again with the original to fix?
... or simple question: did i brick it?
thx in advance
Command
Code:
adb reboot fastloader
doesn't exist.

Hi introjoe,
Are you doing? i have the doogee s60 but i just cant root it :'( can you tell me please how did you do it, or the files you use for it? i allready tried but, when i reset and enter fastboot mode, my pc simply dont recognize it.
I want to upgrade the android system to 9 or 10, thats why im doing all o this.
Thanks in advance.
@doryan666
i wasnt able to root the device in the end unfortunately.
i tried using an unofficial twrp, but i was stuck at the main boot screen
i t seems to need some bootloader-activation-code to enter the bootloader to install a new os.
the command line would look like
adb reboot bootloader "CODE"
the activation code has not been released yet by doogee ... and most probably never will be.
sorry to say but i dont think android upgrad will be possible with this device
