Tried to update to CM 11 / 4.4 KitKat and got "unrecoverable bootloader error" - Asus Transformer TF700

Tried to update to CM 11 / 4.4 KitKat and got "unrecoverable bootloader error"
So I messed up big time. Trying to update to the new unofficial 4.4 OmniRom and had to update TWRP from 2.5.0.0 to the latest 2.6.3.1 in order to flash the new 4.4 ROM but it kept giving me an 'set_metadata_recursive'. So I used the version provided and then used Flashify app on Google play (mistake) to flash it (it said that it installed successfully). Then when I reseted to recovery it got corrupted. So I thought I installed at the wrong place and installed as a zip, recovery and IMG. (Bigger mistake). Now it won't load at all on any OS and boot loader and recovery are corrupted.
Can some one help me? Please o)v_v)o

Sorry, but after reading your post 4 times I still have no idea what you actually did.....
If you still have access in ADB (since you can't access the bootloader??) the link LMK gave you may save your bacon.
If you don't have any kind of access: ADB or fastboot and you do not have nvFlash blobs - sorry, you bricked.

Can I access fastboot when I get the menu at RCK / Android / Wipe? Because if I click con any of these its says that bootloader is corrupted.
What's the Command to fix TWRP using a computer / or other Android device?

I think this may be different. Clearing the misc partition solved the problem of force booting into recovery.

I think that his/her bootloader is still partly function because the fastboot is running.. I don't want to give any advice unless I know for sure that it works. If someone have a better knowledge on the bootloader and recovery, it can be up and running again, I hope...

download your appropriate lates firmware from Asus (WW, US etc.) and extract the zip twice so you have your blob file
install your device drivers if needed (i used Google SDK ones) (and as a Tip Win8 sucks for Fastboot stuff so try to get Win7 Vista XP for this)
Reset your device with a paperclip/needle (about 2 cm down of your sdcard slot) and hold vol-down to enter fastboot
(the folowing i did at least 10 times already but didn't erase misc)
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase cache
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system c:\adb\TF300t\blob (this is my path - your's may vary depending where you stored your blob) ((also this was the first time i saw the loading bar while flashing)*

Although I admit I had to these steps several times as it initially wouldn't somehow it wiped out that error. After I had fix that bootloader error I used fastboot and installed TWRP 2.6.3.1 and now life can continue.
I also followed steps right on getting CM11 to work by using CWM Touch this time to install and it looks jelly. ?! Love these 4.4 KitKat emoticons, thanks again for your help and interest in me ?

I'm sorry I don't have time to post links right now but try to download and install flashboot. If you get that far, you can then download almost any recovery solution and see if you can flash it. I believe the command will be:
Code:
Fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery <file location>
Please read up a bit before you try this. It should flash just the recovery so it shouldn't intefer with the OS or root. Please use caution and read, read, read on the topics (fastboot, TWRP, CWM.)

This is the ONLY solution for this problem, worked great for me.

[Q] Flashed the LPX13D image and now my recovery is gone.

Hi Guys,
Hoping you can help me with this.
I was originally running Slimkat 4.4.4 and had the latest TWRP installed.
I downloaded the file for LPX13D and extracted all of the files right down to the Flash-all.bat and the images for bootloader, radio, and the system.
I ran the Flash-all.bat, and it installed everything successfully. The device booted, and voila, I am on 5.0 now.
The problem now, is that when I reboot into recovery, I am instead met with the little android guy laying on his back, with a red triange/exclamation point in his chest.
No problem, I say to myself. I'll just flash TWRP manually.
So I go to the bootloader, and try the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (renamed to make it faster to type.)
It goes through the motions, and says it was successful.
But when I go to recovery, it's the same red triange guy still.
I tried pressing volume up, power+volume up, etc. No dice. After about 30 seconds, it reboots on it's own back to system.
When I connect it to the Nexus Root Toolkit, and click on Flash recovery, and then choose TWRP latest, I get a window that pops up that tells me :
______
File Dependency Download
Status: Stock Kernel: Not Present - Need to download (this is in red)
Then a button that says "Download + Update All File Dependencies"
So what's my best option here? Should I let the NRT update the dependencies?

Twrp is not optimized yet well like cwm is for andorid l
Recovery won't work AT ALL no matter what you do until you reflash a KK userdata.img, which also wipes all data in the process.
Lethargy said:
I flashed the new developer preview for 5 minutes or so then went to revert. Recovery wouldn't boot not matter what I flashed, until I flashed a KK userdata.img. So it seems like the new developer preview changes the internal storage/data partition more then the old one.

Well, Twrp worked until I rebooted and then tried going back to it. Then bam! back to the error dude with the triangle.
So, I flashed cwm again, and that one seems to be persisting after a reboot, so I guess I'm stuck with cwm for now....
I also flashed the boot.img and the supersu update to get root working, and it seems to be going well now.
Cwm tells me that I may have lost root immediately after flashing the supersu update, but when I reboot, root is actually working. What a weird bunch of crap to go through.

It isn't whether its persisting or not. TWRP just won't boot properly until you reflash a KK userdata.img. I don't know why CWM would even boot up, nor why anyone would want to really use it anyways.

Okay:
So I extract the userdata from a 4.4.4 stock image, yes? If not, can you point me in the direction of the correct userdata.img
I assume the correct order and syntax is:
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastbook flash recovery twrp.img
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
Select recovery
Wipe data/Factory reset, and then and reboot system.
Set up phone as normal.
Have I overlooked anything?

Yeah. Don't need to boot into recovery and wipe data since flashing a .img with fastboot while in bootloader erases it first then flashes. Just make sure you backup your stuff, including internal storage, off to a PC first if you have anything important.

Hard bricked? Can't get into recovery, can't unlock bootloader

Hello,
I think my XT1541 (16GB/2GB Retail GB) with locked bootloader might be hard-bricked.
I was running the stock 5.11 firmware when I did the 6.0 update and since then my phone is stuck in a bootloop.
Motorola won't repair it because I had to replace the screen and the phone is out of warranty.
I can access the bootloader but if I select recovery mode the phone just keeps bootlooping and I can't get into recovery.
I followed the instructions here to flash a stock firmware using fastboot. All the steps complete successfully but after rebooting, the phone is still stuck in a bootloop and I can't get into recovery.
I wanted to install a custom recovery but I'm unable to unlock my bootloader because of this error:
Code:
(bootloader) Check 'Allow OEM Unlock' in Developer Options.
FAILED (remote failure)
Obviously I can't check that option as the phone won't boot.
So, is it hard bricked? Is there anything I can do to get my phone to work again?
Thanks a lot for your help!
How many system images do you need to flash? Sometimes there can be more than 6, sometimes there can be fewer.

If u are bootlooping when trying to enter recovery , then prolly the recovery is the issue. I'd suggest flash the recovery.IMG again and then proceed with flashing the rest of the .IMG files.

I tried that and it didn't work. When I try to go into recovery mode the phone keeps bootlooping.
One thing I noticed is that when I try to format cache or userdata I get this error:

Formatting is not supported for filesystem with type 'raw'.

I was running 5.1.1 when I got the notification for the 6.0 update.
I've noticed that trying to flash 5.1.1 firmware with fastboot gives me errors (preflash validation failed) while the 6.0 work "fine" (i.e.: I get OKAY after every step but then the phone is always stuck in a bootloop).
Thanks!
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DOWNGRADE BOOTLOADER.IMG OR GPT.IMG !!!!!!! DONT FLASH LOLLIPOP VERSION OF THOSE FILES ON A DEVICE RUNNING 6.0
plz tell me u didnt flash those files..

Well I wasn't sure what version I was running to be honest so I think I tried to flash the gpt.img from 5.1.1 at some point but it failed with the preflash validation failure. I've always only flashed the 6.0 firmware files.

Yes, no luck unfortunately.
I think I might have flashed the 5.1.1 bootloader after all - is there any way to recover from there?
Thanks,
Bump!
Does anyone have any other suggestion please?
Thanks,
Last bump
I'm going to sell this on eBay as non-working then unless someone comes up with a clever solution?
Thanks for your help!
Try flashing once more starting with the gpt.bin (that should hopefully take care of raw partition error) and skipping the bootloader altogether. Also, may be worthwhile to try mfastboot.exe instead of fastboot.exe.
I have this same issue, but I haven't flash 5.1.1 Files, I Only tried with 6.0 Brazil Retail.
I also tried to flash gpt to get rid of the "raw" partition, everything goes ok but still displaying that error. Anyone can help?
I got the same problem with my Moto E 2015... If I find a solution I will reply it in this topic..

Unable to boot into recovery but able to boot system

Hi I wonder if anyone can help me. My tf700 is running Zombi-Pop 5.1.1-OMNI-DEODEX RC2 . I may have wrecked my recovery and boot-loader. My Infinity is unlocked and rooted and had TWRP 2..7.00 or roughly that. In preparation for installing KatKiss 6.0.1 . I updated TWRP to [RECOVERY] KANG TWRP TF700T [email protected] JAN 4 from within TWRP and it completed ok. When I went to reboot into recovery I got a unable to boot error boot-image is unreadable X000000 or something like that, But I am able to boot the system which seems to be working OK. Does anyone know if the is anyway for me to re-flash a working recovery or am I stuck without a recovery? If anyone can help me with this I would much appreciate it.
Cheers Al-Man
ps. I have read loads of posts but I am still unsure as to what is the best course of action. I don't want to make it totally useless.
Your bootloader is fine or you would not be able to boot Android.
Kang TWRP 2.8.x is fine for any current rom so that is not the problem either.
Did you let the tablet reboot after the recovery flash? Sounds to me as if that was when things went south.
So fastboot flash the recovery, then reboot to system once before you try to boot into recovery.
If you don't know how to fastboot flash it's high time you learned it.

You could also use flashify or dd commands if you have root.

Thanks for your quick reply bernbib. I have tried to fastboot and load a new recovery image. I am able to see the device using the fastboot devices command. When I flash a new TWRP image it shows the following
twrp.img
sending 'recovery' (7038 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.801s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 2.541s]
finished. total time: 5.343s
I then try fastboot reboot and all I get is
rebooting......
on the boot loader screen it reads just under the boot version
Starting Fastboot USB download protocol this is constantly showing every time I boot to the boot loader.
and then I reboot from the tablet and its back to square one .
Any Help with this problem would be most appreciated I can still boot to system but I am not able to access recovery.
Many Thanks. Alex
Can you reboot recovery from adb or shell?

I have seen many cases of "unrecoverable bootloader error" but never that you could still boot into system with that error. So I have no idea what is going on for you, but the only method I know of to successfully recover from a unrecoverable bootloader error is to flash the Asus system blob in fastboot after fastboot erasing each major partition. We call it a buster99 and you'll find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12
Before you do that why don't you try to 'fastboot boot recovery twrp.img' instead of flashing it. You should still be able to use TWRP as usual, flash a rom with it etc. It just does not get installed on the tablet....
See if you can use the recovery that way...

Any other suggestions, I don't like the sound of Buster 99 also tablet is the wife's.

Buster99 has been a tablet saver for many users.
But if you don't want to do the whole thing try to fastboot erase recovery, cache and misc, then flash TWRP again and see if you can boot it.

[SOLVED] TF700T Unrecoverable Bootloader Error 0x000000 no fastboot

So I saw that timduru posted the files for Nougatella 7.1 and couldn't wait to join the club. It has been a while since my TF700T has been upgraded. I had TWRP 2.8.4.0 so I wanted to upgrade to the latest version. Mistake #1!!!! I went to TWRP and got the img file put in on my sd card and installed in through the TWRP recovery. Now I get the RED unrecoverable bootloader error 0x000000. I can't get into the recovery but the tablet boots up into KatKiss without issue. I tried the TWRP app as well with no luck. I also can't get fastboot with adb fast boot working.
Windows 10 32bit
Asus Sync installed
Minimal ADB and Fastboot installed
USB debugging checked in settings
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
My apologies I just saw that this is in the TF700 General Thread not the Help and Questions section. Moderator is this something I can move or do you need to do this? I did a quick search and nothing came up, but also having IE issues loading this site right now. Again thank you all!
It took a good 8 hours but I was finally able to get my tablet up and running. I took the advice of several posts and used their concepts to find the solution.
No ADB/Fastboot issue. I uninstalled all instances of ADB and all the drivers that referenced the device. I also removed Asus Sync.
Post by Accord281 [solved] Need Help: Can't get ADB to recognize device, there was a reference that people had good luck with the Google Driver. I installed Android Studio with SDK manager. I went in and then installed the Google Driver as well as the SDK manager for the stock ROM version (JB).
This still didn't work, so I reread the post and several other as well. I noticed that the recommendation was to set the USB connection to Picture not File. So I did this and ADB was working. Problem #1 checked off.
TWRP error was next. In the post by kansasboy001 Help Unrecoverable bootloader error. He posted a solution form "Buster" which worked spot on. See below.
This is the ONLY solution for this problem, worked great for me.
My solution
I have the same on my TF300t and A700 - but it seems i just managed to get my TF300t back
i tried all fastboot (reflashing recovery, boot, system etc) no dice - especially since writing system was done after 3 secs all the time.
Here how i restored my TF300T JB
download your appropriate lates firmware from Asus (WW, US etc.) and extract the zip twice so you have your blob file
install your device drivers if needed (i used Google SDK ones) (and as a Tip Win8 sucks for Fastboot stuff so try to get Win7 Vista XP for this)
Reset your device with a paperclip/needle (about 2 cm down of your sdcard slot) and hold vol-down to enter fastboot
(the folowing i did at least 10 times already but didn't erase misc)
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase cache
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system c:\adb\TF300t\blob (this is my path - your's may vary depending where you stored your blob) ((also this was the first time i saw the loading bar while flashing)*
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
* it also took a lot longer as it should:
C:\>fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system c:\adb\TF300t\blob
erasing 'system'...
OKAY [ 1.695s]
sending 'system' (800935 KB)...
OKAY [133.121s]
writing 'system'...
OKAY [153.973s]
finished. total time: 288.789s
im now setting my tab up to get back to CM (which initially caused this sh1theap due to autoupdate error, same as my A700 got bricked )
hope i could help you out!
cheers

Finally I was able to flash TWRP 3.0.0 in ADB. I also followed the post from lj50036 [twrp 2.6.3.2] [read me]. This seems to still be an issue with TWRP and the TF700T. I followed the code and it took less than 10 mins to format data.
Thank you to timduru as well as I am enjoying your build as we speak.
