[Q] Stuck on ASUS logo - Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
I hope that someone can give me some advise to get my tf300t up and running again. I wanted to install cm10.2 but I wanted to install CWM first.
I unlocked my device first with the unlock app v8 from asus.
I tried to install CWM the first time but it did not work.
I went back into recovery mode but I wasn't paying attention and pressed wipe userdata
Now my tf300t only shows the ASUS logo and the text that the device is unlocked. I can't get back in recovery mode anymore. Is there a way the restore it back to default?
I hope that someone can help me out.
Thank you in advance for your time and effort.
Regards

Can you get to the menu with the recovery options, boot android, USB, and wipe data? You can use fastboot from there.

If you cant get into there, you cant really use fastboot. Unless you made NvFlash Backups beforehand, I don't think there is much else you can do, since the recovery isn't working either.

I stupidly made no backups so what you are saying is that it is done.

I've spent a lot of time searching and it seems like that's it...
I'm on Asus screen, I can reboot it by either holding down pwr button until it reboots, or using reset switch with a paperclip. vol - does nothing, just reboots to asus screen...computer sees nothing. vol + goes into APX mode (blank screen)...computer detects with correct drivers. I've tried draining battery completely...disconnecting battery for a few days...same result.
If I had to speculate...maybe at some point someone will figure out how to use another's backup files and push them to the device in APX mode.
I've looked into replacing the motherboard...and have seen some for as low as 50$ on ebay. Personally, swapping them would be easy...but some may not have the caviler attitude with hardware swapping. Just gotta get the wife to agree to spend the $.
I'd die for a free fix, the kids really miss playing with the thing

[Q] G2x stuck at LG logo/cannot access recovery

Hey all
Before anyone mentions that i should be searching around more, i would like to say that i've been on multiple threads and they all state the same thing (use NVflash to flash CWM and then boot into CWM but the solution did not work for me past flashing CWM and then trying to access recovery after) and i wasn't able to find one that had a similar problem as mine.
I have CWM flashed through NVflash and was running CM7.1 RC1. I took a screenshot with the 'shootme' app and proceeded to look at the gallery to make sure it came out okay. The gallery crashed and i was sent to the home screen. I swiped to a different homescreen when my phone froze halfway through the transition to the next screen. No combination of buttons/long presses were able to get me out of it so i went ahead and did a battery pull. So my dilemma is that now i'm stuck at the LG boot logo with no blue status bar under it. It freezes there and will not do anything every time i boot up. volume down+power does not give me access to recovery nor does any other button combo get me past the LG boot logo.
Are there any other methods i might be able to use like ADB or what not to get myself out of this situation? or at least into recovery? Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as i've been searching for hours with little help and my eyes are starting to get strained.
hmmm.. I know it's a simple question, but I gotta ask.. are you holding the pwr and volume down button long enough? you have to keep holding it even after you see the LG screen.. Keep holding until you see the 2nd screen?
If so.. do the nvflash again? Edit: Not sure if I would do this without getting further guidance tho..

This. I remember when I boot looped my phone I had the problem of letting go of the volume key too early, you need to hold down volume and power from a totally powered off phone until recovery actually starts and you see the green "android" logo of CWM.
Try re-flashing CWM, NVFlash CAN fail. There is literally nothing you can do within the OS that will prevent recovery from working. Either you did something wrong somewhere along the recovery process or you discovered an entirely new problem with the phone. I'm going to hazard a guess and say it's the former.
Thanks for the response guys. I wish that it was the case of not holding the buttons long enough. I have tried numerous times with the buttons held down for a long period of time. I even held the combo down for almost 5 minutes a few times.
Every time i try to boot up, it won't go past the LG boot screen so i would pull the battery out and go through flashing CWM through NVflash again. I'm sure I'm not missing anything because everything goes through and gets sent to the phone successfully.
I did happen to run into a thread that was closely similar to mine but his method was to just keep reflashing CWM and the stock recovery back and forth every time it failed until it turned on. I might have to try that if i cannot figure out this problem out soon. Not being able to use this phone is killing me! heh.
I just joined your club. Wow this sucks.
So apparently this is a whole new problem that's been found? Every other help thread seems to point to using NVflash or remaking the partitions due to a bad flash using an O2x based file instead of G2x.
But none of those solutions come close to doing anything. There has been some people with the same problem as me but aren't proactive at all enough to get someone's attention, so i'm guessing this problem is getting pushed to the side with people just going about getting their phones replaces/buying new ones.
I did happen to run into a thread on paulobrien/modaco's forum that had people using NVflash to get out of any sticky situation like this. It just reverts everything back to the stock factory settings but with root. We cannot use this though because he hasn't built it to be compatible with our LGP999's because everything was built for their UK LGP990's. Maybe that's a start to getting this solution fixed?
I hate to say this, bit you might have to call t mobile and get a replacement. Flash back to stock recovery and they won't know you messed with anything.

Don't send back....you'll get same defacement a battery pull go into nvflah and go back stock then flash nv flash fix pArtitions
As I have mentioned before, NVflash does NOT give me access to my recovery let alone solve anything else. NVflash DOES work and does sucessfully send both CWM and the stock recovery but when I try to boot into either of them, let alone just power on normally, it simply DOES NOT go past the LG boot screen. it just hangs there doing nothing at all until I pull the battery out and do the same process over until it just hangs again.
while it is on/stuck at the LG screen, my computer does not recognize it so i cannot even try and run ADB commands. It does however, recognize it when I plug it in using the volume buttons held down when I use NVflash but there's nothing else I can do besides use NVflash obviously.

Did you ever find a solution to this issue? Because my phone is doing this...
I attempted to restore my phone back to the wrong backup that was from a galaxy sII (2.3.4 i think); needless to say, the restore failed. I then restarted my phone from CWM and it gets stuck at LG screen.
I have tried to NVflash back to stock; nothing. same thing reflashing back to CWM.
ideas?
have you tried this link out yet?

From what I heard is that you need to remove the battery, then boot into recovery or something.

Use smartflash for the p990 but only use the p999 ap.bin file which will put the rom and kernel back to stock p999.
Rom for recovery always fixes any soft brick back to stock 2.3.3 OTA. It's saved my phone multiple times from stuck on S/W screen to being stuck on lg logo or even the dreaded can't mount sdcard-cache errors in cwm.

I used the following method when Clockworkmod became corrupted and was unable to mount my sd card. I had just wiped everything on my phone intending to install a new rom when the issue happened. I could not even get to the S/W upgrade screen. It saved my phone. Hope it works for you.

Glad for you that it worked.
Kwes1020 pointed me in the right direction last week. Be sure to give a thanks to ILUHA_89 who came up with the fix.
Amazing how people are soo lost without providing them link after link to other threads. They are soo lazy and can't follow simple directions, each time i get a new phone i go to that section on xda and soak up all the information as it usually is already there. It's just funny is all i guess.

It's really not that big a deal. I was brand new to android once and asked all sorts of things.
I, like you, happen to read everything I can get my hands on. Some struggle going through all the info. I was here the day the forum opened, so I kind of remember where everything is.
Some are lazy and others just have no idea what the heck is going on and are intimidated by certain processes. I would rather help someone instead of listening to them ***** about their broken phone.

[Q] Will my B80 ever work again? EDIT: It will not until ICS

Hi,
One day I was having fun with my brand new TF101 trying to root it and flash a rom...
I did a MASSIVE FAIL and now I get the asus logo when I turn it on and it only turns off when it has low battery . I can however acces the XPA mode (but useless, NVFLash doesn't work on B70+) and I can get into wipe mode and cold-booting. I tried both but the transformer just freezes . I wonder if one of you guys can tell me if I just have a 399€ paper weight mad or if it can be a tablet again D)?
Thanks,
HorClok
What were the exact steps you did to root and flash ?
Did you install CWM Recovery ?
Power off the TF by holding Power for a while until it turns off, then
Try holding Volume Down + Power until white text appears onscreen, then either choose Recovery or Wipe Data

All i get is wipe Data or cold booting Android... :/ I don't have a recovery mode on this tablet (it's a WW)
after the words appear, you have to push vol up within 5 sec to get into recovry.
If you wait after 5 sec. you'll only get the clear data or boot options.

I think he has nearly the same problem like me.
i also cant get into recovery. but now its enough for me.
I will RMA it tomorrow. i also highly doubt that new SBK-Codes will ever be leaked/cracked.
There was nothing for month now.
Good Luck for you, but i guess only Asus can Flash it back with there "secret-Flash tool" or whatever, which we unfortunately don't have!

Maybe you can try to use the rom from the asus support site, put it on the external card and look if it will take the "update" ?
You have to unzip the downloaded zip file once. So you get a ASUS dir on the card. I think not unzipping further down.
Or try to play around with the unzipped file like is done here (even in that thread it is an OTA update and not a complete rom).
Just some idea's, didn't try it myself.
If it has access to fastboot...can't he just use the fastboot command to flash the system and boot images?
Where can i find this fastboot, and how get it to work?
Not all hope is lost - I did the exact same thing to my B70 trying to install CWM on it (then found out what a B70 was...). I managed to recover it using ASUS built-in recovery kernel.
The catch is that it seems the recovery kernel will only install a newer firmware - not the current or an older one. If you were still on the older (pre-Christmas firmware) maybe you can use that one right away, otherwise ICS is right on the horizon. If you don't know which you were on, it doesn't hurt to try anyway.
Here's what I did:
1. Stash the transformer under my bed for a month so I couldn't see it laughing at me while waiting for an update.
2. Once there is a newer firmware than the one you currently have, download it from ASUS (sorry I can't post the URL because I'm too new, it's pretty easy to find though)
2. Unzip the downloaded package
3. Find the zip file under ASUS/Update, copy it to an external Micro SD Card and rename it to TF101_SDUPATE.ZIP
4. Insert the sd card into the transformer, then resart it while holding the volume down button (if, like mine, the transformer won't stay off, that's fine - hold down the power key until it turns off, then hold the volume down as it starts back up)
5. When you see the white text in the top left corner, press volume up to enter the RCK.
6. Cross your fingers
If it works in a minute or two you should see a progress bar start up. If it doesn't you will see an android with an exclamation mark in a yellow triangle on it's chest.
If it doesn't work, don't despair - it might be the firmware you are using is too close to the existing one on the tablet. Wait for the next release and try again. It took me a month of waiting, but I finally got mine back.
hmm but you where always been able to access the Recovery, so that you can the Androidman with yellow triangle or?
On my Pad, if i press vol-up it shortly shows "booting recovery Kernel", and than screen gets black and instantly reboots.
You had the same behaviour?

Unfortunately it seems yours might be even more hosed than mine was then - I could always access the android with the yellow triangle. The recovery/wipe/cold boot screens were always available, it would just hang at the ASUS screen on boot, always restart when turned off
First of all, thanks for responding everyone.

Just to double-check - did you use the name TF101_SDUPATE.zip? I'm not sure if your above name was a typo after a long day of debugging
Good luck - I had pretty much given up hope after bricking mine, but did get it back. Hope your recovery efforts go as smoothly!
hmm, TF101_SDUPATE.zip ?
i thought all times "EP101_SDUPDATE.zip" ?
So what is the right name?

I'm 90% sure I ended up using TF101_SDUPDATE.zip, because I was surprised too - I had previously seen EP101...
It certainly doesn't hurt to try both. It's also possible that the current firmware recognizes a couple of names.

[Q] Help un"bricking" my tf300t?

Hey guys, I recently found my tf300t tucked away somewhere. Haven't used it for absolute months! And I remembered why, I kept having problems with CM somehow(I believe the last update was somewhere in June-July of 2013), so this time after charging it and wanting to do it all again, I figured I'd get it updated. Seeing as it's been nearly a year and so much crap has changed, I figured something was going to go wrong. Before I even DID ANYTHING, I told the tablet to reboot into recovery mode, and boom that's where I'm stuck. The Tablet rebooted and now only shows the Asus boot screen... Nothing else! Vol down+pwr didn't work, nothing. And If I hold the power button it shuts off but then turns right back on 1-2 seconds later. I'm not sure what this is, a soft brick? a Brick? just an error? Can anybody please help? I know this is probably the wrong section, but I'm just frustrated.
Thank you to anybody who can help in any shape or form.
PS: no bashing is needed, my tables already bashing my head for me.

Nope, but I am running W8 and I read that W8 kinda sucks for this sort of thing. Like you need W7 or XP? Correct me if im wrong. Any other ideas? . I didn't do anything! Just told it to reboot into recovery, and now I'm stuck there. I held pwr+volume down and it still keeps stuck, and if I try to power it off then it just turns on again a few seconds later.

??
So none of you can get to fastboot or recovery, but you do all get the stuck at Asus logo?? All your bootloaders are unlocked?? All of you got to this spot, the same way by not using the tablet for long periods of time???? What bootloader are you on?? What version of CM are you running??? What is the OS of your PC, If its not the top 3 please be specific......Are you using a stock asus data cable??
Sounds similar
From what your posts say, it sounds like something i came across. I struggled for hours trying to figure out this dilemma, but if you're in the same situation i was in then as long as you're in that screen even after trying to hold the power and -vol let it sit there, plug in and make sure you have all your files associated with fastboot platform installed and try pushing the new TWRP ( http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407569892 ) to your tablet, for some reason after a certain update after 4.1 i believe? CWM stopped working for me, so try pushing the new TWRP from that link there and possibly you should be able to gain control of your tablet again and start installing the new packets for CM 11. I found this to be very helpful http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2570965 and thanks to "cmendonc2", 6 post down, he really cleared things up with his simple links. Hope you're in the same boat as i was. Good luck

[Q] Stuck in Boot loop no recovery and no usb connection to pc

I recently decided to upgrade to 4.4.4 kit kat.
Really dont know a lot about phones, but I've been working with computers for so long I thought it would be easy.....Little did I know....
Basically I used CMW? to flash the rom after checking using a root checker that my phone was definitely rooted. After trying to flash the phone turned off, and is now stuck in a permanent loop from the lg logo to a little green robot. When I plug it into the computer the time between each loop isn't long enough to do anything with it, and the recovery menu just wont work !
I should say when I hold volume down and the power button all I get is a hard reset option, and even when I do it nothing changes.
I really dont know what to do to break the loop, Please help!
The phone is an LG optimus g pro f240...all this for a transparent information bar >.>

No I didn't, but even if I did I cant use it. The phone has no recovery menu at all. Wont even charge so the time I have to fix it is limited. 40% battery left atm.....really stressed, its brand new.

You have an sdcard slot in your phone, right?

Yes, I had an sd card in it with recovery stuff, and the old rom. Nothing happened. What should I do to make something happen?

Whew. At least you have an sdcard slot, that gives us hope!
You'll need an sdcard adapter. Plug your sdcard into your PC, and write the appropriate ClockworkMod image for your device to the sdcard. Plug your sdcard back into your phone, and reboot, but ONLY use the power button, nothing else.
You should be successfully booted into CWM. Write back for more instructions if that works.
And don't forget to thank my posts if I helped!

I will thank a lot when I get this sorted...promise !
Ok I checked cwm and I cant find a rom for my phone !
Pretty confused. I'd like to return to the stock mod is that possible?
What is the "stock mod"?
EDIT - Just found this site, it may be of use to you: Hard Reset LG Optimus G Pro f240.
I tried all that, nothing doing.
The original rom was kit kat 4.4.2 I think...maybe 4.4.1
Any chance they might work?
Going back to 4.4 would be the best idea in my opinion.
The question is how!
shouldn't there be some sort of management suite for LG? sony has pc companion, and last night i found myself in the exact same situation as you, and i was able to repair my phone, because i messed it up and it was boot-looping.

Yeah there is, but the boot loop is so short, a few seconds really, that I dont have time to do anything. The computer never registers is.
I tried everything I can think of....even with the sd card in nothing happens.....Just goes from the green robot trying to repair off then back to the lg logo then back to the green robot....sigh, is it possible to be perma boot looped?
I always read that when the phone is turning on there is hope. Looks really unlikely for me.

ANOTHER Bricked TF300T

Well guys i don't like to bother with this, i love to read and this isn't the first time i have problem with this tablet.
A beautiful fully functional TF300T just stopped working today.
Lost battery, now when i turn it on ASUS logo stucks, but NO with "device is unlocked" as happened to me with other devices, now the loading circle keeps looping.
I searched US drivers for my tablet (TF300T-US_epad-10_6_1_27_5-UpdateLauncher.zip), downloaded it and renamed to EP300_SDUPDATE.ZIP on a FAT 32 SD card.
When i press on + vol down, fastboot enables but RCK says ERROR.
Please, can anybody give me a quick hand? In a few hours i leave on my first vacations in ages and TF300T was goin to be a great member of the team.
THANKS.
I picked up a bricked one and with out too much reading I just did a factory reset with in the boot loader.. no 3 on the menu... what ever was wrong with the internal Rom seemed to come good and it booted.. So maybe you could read a little about this and try.. but bummer it happened before you go away as nothing more painful as you would have had it setup with movies and reading.. but anyway.. thats how I got this one to work... once I had it factory reset, then I flashed new Roms to it.. Actually it wasnt unlocked either and had to get Asus to reset thier database so I could unlock it..

sorry dear user but what do you mean with this =| ?
You can try to flash firmware through fastboot (try first without "erase" lines to keep Your data). Link

That worked beautiful. Thanks very much.
Now i can finish a few scrips and watch the mentalist on my 8hs bus ride. THANKS.
I cannot even get into fastboot on mine. All it does is stay on the bootloader startup image. And then stays there. If anyone knows how to fix this please help me out. L
