I recently changed back my build.prop to the original one that i backed up before. Then my device cannot boot anymore. It is stuck in the ASUS splash screen when i boot the device.
Then I flash the latest CWM recovery. But the latest version CWM cannot do anything like factory reset or flash zip.
After that, i tried to use the "wipe data" in the bootloader, it doesn't work either (still stuck in the splash screen).
And then i tried cold boot linux and it also doesn't work. Up to this point, I cannot find anyway to fix it.
However, I found that adb is somewhat working in CWM recovery. I tried "adb push build.prop /system/build.prop" (the build.prop is extracted from the US_epaduser_10_26_1_7_UpdateLauncher.zip package from ASUS official site), it doesn't work either.
I put the US_epaduser_10_26_1_7_UpdateLauncher.zip package from asus support site in sd card and tried to flash it by CWM recovery, it doesn't work either.
AFTER ALL THESE PROCEDURE, i think the system is corrupted because of some possible dirty wipe
IS THERE ANY WAY TO WIPE EVERYTHING AND RESET THE whOLE SYSTEM?
i feel like my device is completely dead... so i need help and solution asap
my device is unlocked, rooted, and updated to 10.26.1.7 android 4.3.
it is a US version.
btw i asked ASUS support and they said they would charge CAN$330 for fixing it (replacing the main board), which is.........
So is there any ways to fix it without sending it to asus repair ccenter?
I want to make sure that
1. The wipe data function in the bootloader works
2. Does wiping data in bootloader fix the build.prop problem
Or do anyone of you have any idea of solving tthis problem?
ANYWAY TO WIPE EVeRUTHING INCLUDES SYSTEM thROUGH BOOTLOADER?
sorry for my bad english
Have you tried to install Full Recovery Mode ?
First Enable USB Debugging and watch if your Device is correctly recognized on you Device Manager .
Search and install the software , for first use i suggest to search some Tutorials about this.
Then you can use the Full Recovery Mode and format / wipe cache and system .

I tried to go back to a stock rom and unroot my device by using the steps on the forum. What i have now is the unit comes on the asus logo shows but when it tries to boot up the screen is just black nothing happens. If i try to use an sd card with any thing on it doesn't read it. None of the files from the card show up in the menu. if have cleared the cache tried using the backup image that was on the device when i got it but still nothing. If you can help I would be grateful. I'm a noob to this rooting stuff. The only reason i brought it rooted was because of the price, I could not pass it up but after not getting some of the apps that i wanted to work if assume a rooted device is not for me.

What instructions did you follow? Is the bootloader unlocked and can you boot into it? Does adb work? Need more info if we're going to help you.
It is rooted with
aokp-tf300t-build-38.
Android ver 4.0.4.
Kernel 2.6.39.4 g2bf1397-dirty.
Build IMM761.
bootloader unlocked
I was looking around in cwm menu before I tried to install the stock asus rom. Just going thru the menu's looking trying to familiarize myself with cwm. I went to backup and restore menu and there was Zip there. I hit to power button instead of the volume and it starting restoring the device. After that i have not been able to get it to do anything after the asus screen. But I can get into the menu of cwm. When i tried following the adb, i go into cmd on my computer and change directory it tells me the device is not ready. I tried putting a zip on a sd card but I cant get it to show on the device to install.
Try a factory reset in CWM, see if that helps.
tried the wipe data/factory reset several times with no luck. It goes through the process but still does not boot to any thing after asus logo.

Can you flash a different ROM, maybe the stock one?
Had the same problem. Tried to flash stock from Twrp recovery.
Wipe do a factory reset, wipe system and than flash the aokp rom again.
Then reboot and when you are back in System you can put the rom you like on your internal SD.
Back to Recovery and flash the new rom.
I got adb working and it come up in devices list. How do i flash the aokp rom on the device. I'm learning this as i go along, after this i might get the hang of this . I cant seem to push files using adb either my directory is wrong. I unzip it into a folder (C:\romfolder\aokp_tf201_build-38.zip/sdcard) and all that comes up scrolling page of commands and help for adb when i push
this is the zip i dwl could not find built 38 for tf300 so i got tf201
http://aokp.co/index.php/releases/_/build-38-r24 also how do i make it an image to flash or can i download and image

Do not flash a 201 rom or image. Thats for the prime. Never flash roms designed for another device no matter how similar they are.
ok I downloaded this on
http://goo.im/devs/termleech/tf300t/aokp_tf300t_unofficial_20120617_2100_build-39.zip
have to go to bed but when i get up this afternoon will try to get it o go to device.
How am I suppose to get it to the device if the sd card does not show up on file list in cwm?
Can you still use ADB? You can always push the files with that.
how do i use adb to push the file on to the device itself. because i can add it to the sdcard by just putting in on there and then placing sdcard in device but the menu as far as install zip from sdcard never shows any zips that are on the card itself. Only thing that shows up are list of directories that look like a standard list from cwm. Also if you choose any of directories from that list it returns no file found. If I choose apply update on sdcard no matter how many time i have called the file update.zip says "no such file or directory install aborted". Or how do i push and image to the restore section of the device and where do i find an image at?
well still no luck. I think I will give it a few more days and if I still cant get it guess will go to best buy and buy another on. Any thoughts on Toshiba excite?
Try this i posted a tutorial on how to fix this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738825 hope it helps
I have soft bricked and then recovered a lot of devices but this one has me stumped. I tried to install a custom kernel that I compiled myself using odin. When that didn't work I tried to copy the image using dd. My theory is that I wrote to the wrong block device and broke something. When it wouldn't boot I figured it was no big deal, I'll just revert to stock. I have tried flashing the stock rom with Odin and by using Kies emergency recovery. Both seem to succeed but whenever I boot I just get stuck at the samsung logo which displays on the screen forever. I can still get into download mode and recovery mode just fine.
Things I have tried:
- Factory reset (I've done this many times from stock recovery and TWRP)
- Cache wipe (Also tried several times from stock recover and TWRP - in TWRP I tried all the different wiping options)
- Flash stock ROM
- Turn off device and wait for more than an hour (since there is no way to do a battery pull)
My understanding is that the bootloader must be functioning otherwise I would not be able to get as far as I do. And since flashing stock ROM doesn't do anything there must be a partition with corrupt data that is not being rewritten when I install the ROM. Any ideas what this might be? Are there any resources I can use to completely repartition the device?
Any ideas are appreciated.
I fixed my problem so I just though I'd post the solution here in case someone finds this on Google or something.
It seems that I did indeed corrupt a partition that is not rewritten when you flash a stock rom or do an emergency system restore with kies (which I believe does nothing more than download the stock rom and then flash it). I actually had to buy a second device and use dd to copy over all the partitions and then returned the second device
So if you have this problem you might have to ask someone on this forum to give you an image of whichever partition you broke.
Hello,
My TF700 was on a CleanRom (2.3 i think), for a while, i decided to update.
- I installed the latest CWM (via fastboot) and flashed a Cyanogen 10.2 "stable", but my tablet freezed very quickly after successful boot, i tried some reboots and get same problem.
- I tried to install a stock ODEX root ROM, the tablet freezed at asus logo
- I flashed TWRP instead of CWM, it doesn't helped
- I tried wipe data and cache with TWRP, then my data was not accessible anymore and TWRP was unable to re-create it
- I searched on forums and found on this one that flash a boot.blob file can solve the problem
- It doesn't and now CWM and TWRP refuse to work ....
So i post here before getting my tablet completely brick.
At this point, i get access to fastboot / abd, CWM load but don't work (reboot when trying to do something), TWRP don't load.
Any suggestion to get back to a Stock ODEX rooted rom ?
Excuse my english ...

Sounds like you are on an old bootloader. Flash the stock rom from asus by unzipping the zip you download from their website and placing in the root folder of your micro sd and then go into rck from the bootloader menu (power + volume down whilst booting)
Or you could just flash it from recovery....
lj50036 helped me to flash a new bootloader, recovery, rom and nvflash to make it unbrickable
Not just helped he spent many times to explain me how it works and what he did.
He is very nice and this was a pleasure to talk with him, i'm happy that there's still person like that on this planet
see you !

I buy a tf700 with cm 11 a few days ago i am really interessted on how this steps works. I really want to make it unbrickeable, But i dont really understand how it works. I can not enter in fastboot. at least i got cwm interface when rebooting with adb into recovery.
Can u explain how you did it?
It invovles flashing a modified bootloader and the flatline recovery and then using Wheelie to generate your nvflash blobs.
Step-by-step instructions (which you need to follow to the letter) are here:

Stuck in boot loop, fastboot and recovery accessible
Hello,
I'm having a similar issue and I need help! Initially my tablet was rooted with Cromi-X 5.4. Then I decided to try Crombi-KK.
Here is what happened:
- Updated TWRP recovery
- Did a full wipe as recommended
- Flashing got stuck at the Crombi-KK loading sign
- Tried to reflash but TWRP wasn't detecting data partition anymore
- Instead installed the other recommended recovery CWMR.
- Flashed Crombi-KK, it worked. Played around with it for a few days, it was wonderful, fast and responsive.
- Battery died out and when I turned it back on I got a UIDs system inconsistent error.
- I found online many recommendations to reflash so I tried to do that
- Since then I'm stuck in a boot loop. I see the initial "bios" Asus logo then it restarts over and over.
- I am able to access bootloader and recovery
I've tried reflashing the asus stock blob. I've tried wiping the data through CWMR but it starts working and then it restarts. I don't know what to do anymore, so if anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks
Which recovery and bootloader version do you have now?
A (for KK) outdated bootloader seems the most likely culprit.
You can try save the recovery log when you flash or grab a logcat of the bootloop, but probably it'll only tell you that the recovery cannot mount /data.
Determine that you are on the correct bootloader, if not update it. If you're lucky the tablet will start right up. If it doesn't, formatting /data is the only way I know to get it back. Not just wiping - formatting it. You will loose everything on internal SD, so I hope you have a nandroid you can restore from later.
If you use TWRP 2.7+ be aware that formatting can take more than an hour. Let it finish!
For good measure, download CROMBi-KK again, check the md5 and then flash that file.
I'm on 10.6.1.14.10 bootloader which I think is the latest one
I have 6.0.4.7 CWMR
I'm trying to format data completely but when i do it in CWMR it starts and then the tablet reboots on it's own after a couple of minutes.
How can I retrieve the logs, I never had to do it before.
Thanks for your help
Mhh, getting a little more complicated.
Your BL is ok...
What do you see in CWM when you go into Mounts and Storage? What is mounted?
The recovery logs are under Advanced > show logs.
I'm at work now but from what I remember the only thing mounted was the cache. I'll double check tonight. Do you think there's any hope or I have a brand new paper weight?

Can you fastboot flash twrp?
It's much much better than CWM, has its own terminal and will be easier to offer the correct format command.

So I flashed TWRP and when I go in mount/storage everything is selected except for system. Should I do a format data from the wipe menu before flashing crombi-kk again?

To be in the safe side, yes, that is what I would do. TWTRP 2.7.+ takes a long time to format and it may seem the process got stuck. Give it at least 90 minutes to finish.
Then reflash CROMBi
I'm back up and running !!!
This time installing TWRP, everything was mounted (maybe my previous flash before CWMR wasn't good), did a format data, waited until it was done, flashed latest Crombi-KK and going through setup now. Hopefully won't have the same UID issue on next shutdown. I didn't enable fsync or journaling so hopefully it won't happen again.
Thanks both of you for your help!
Good deal! Happy for you!
Rooting google pixel zl
I was using package disabler pro to disable some Samsung apps, like galaxy apps, billing etc. I have had the phone like this for months without problem. Today I re enabled galaxy apps and rebooted phone and now my phone is boot-looping, stuck on samsung logo. I re flashed the EXACT same rom that is on there via ODIN, (XSA g920i) and it STILL boot loops. Normally this fixes problems like this. The phone is stock, uprooted. Don't tell me I have to factory reset it all?
Will not even boot up in safe mode.
This can be moved to the Q and A section but I also didn't realise you can soft brick your phone without root.
I am definitely sure it was re enabling some apps in package disabler pro that did it. Is there some way to ABD console re enable all apps or undo whatever the program has done?
I'm willing to install twrp recovery on the phone so I can mount system and undo whatever the program has done. Does anyone know what to alter?
$10 paypal for solution that doesn't involve loosing data.
If I factory reset, will I be able to recover the files on there like pictures and images with a program?
Install custom recovery, then mount you sd partition in recovery and connect to pc then move all your pics etc to pc, then factory reset

Yea Im aware I would be able to do that but I want to be able to undo the programs influence so I can boot into my phone again.
So I take it I use the latest twrp and just flash via odin? I dont need to also flash a custom kernel?
Yeah just flash recovery with odin, you could probably try using the file manager in recovery to delete the galaxy apps apk, or fixing permissions may work, or possibly wipe cache and dalvik and may be able to boot, the custom recovery gives you a few options
I contacted the dev and he said there is a way to fix it via ABD. The stock s6 mm recovery has an ABD option, is this the same as a proper abd when the phone is booted up, or does it only allow you to push signed files and updates accross?
So does this mean it is possible to fix the issue without flashing custom recovery?
Is there another section this can be moved to? Im surpised there isnt more information for such a popular app with a common problem.
I just realised I have reactivation lock enabled. Does this mean I CANNOT flash custom recovery? If thats the case I dont even want to try.
How to enable 'Android system' back?
Hello!
I have disabled 'Android system' in 'packagedisabler pro' in Samsung sm-9005 and now the phone is stuck with Samsung logo and stars during booting. The phone cannot boot. How to enable 'Android system' back?
Hi,
this is my first post on this forum, so please let me know if you are missing any information …
My problem: I'm experiencing a boot loop with my Nexus 5 after having changed its damaged battery. I didn't use it for a long time because of this damage. Now, it does start the boot sequence again, but only to the "circle" animation which it keeps showing indefinitely.
The circumstances:
I never tried to root the phone
USB debugging is not (and cannot be) enabled
I'm completely sure the problem is not caused by the power button (seems to be a common cause)
stock recovery is reachable
an old version of ClockWorkMod Recovery (from this thread) is bootable
three tested versions of TWRP won't boot
What I tried:
I unlocked the bootloader. With both the stock recovery and CWM, I tried to
wipe the device / the cache partition
flash a stock image (directly downloaded from the Google developer page)
flash a ResurrectionRemix image
None of these worked. It seems that the recovery systems are not able to write on or even to mount the necessary partitions. As the stock recovery apparently needs access to /cache for adb sideload, any attempt to flash anything results in an error message. CWM is able to sideload the zip file, but writing the image fails.
I furthermore tried the "factory" (not OTA) image from Google with its flash-all.sh script which tries to also update boot loader and other things via fastboot – every single one of these update attempts failed as well.
So, my question is: Does anyone of you know of a way to get my phone working again?
Many thanks in advance, best regards
