Does this mean my TF700 is bricked and unbrickable? Should I move on?
I recently flashed a new rom, everything was going so well, as soon as I restarted the tablet it went to the splash asus screen. Never loaded anything after that.
Recovery isn't working either. It keeps saying "unrecoverable bootloader error" on the top left corner of my screen. What does this mean?

I got home on Friday and my Transformer told me there was an update available and it would take about 10 minutes to install. I followed the instructions and the tablet just hung on the boot screen. I left it for an hour and nothing changed. The only way I could get things working again was to wipe all data and restore it to factory settings. I did this and then went to the update screen where it once again told me there was an update available.
I followed the instructions and the exact same thing happened, so I wiped it again and started from scratch.
Anyone have any ideas here?
TIA.
Well first off it's not a brick. A brick is where you cant even get into APX mode. Secondly were you seeing an android image with an exclamation point on the screen? Or what did the screen look like that it hung on?
Are your rooted with CWM recovery installed?

It's the standard Eee Pad boot screen - the one that appears when you turn on the pad. No Android image.
Sounds like you need to hunt out and remove the .zip file on your device for the update that seems to remain after a hard reset, using ADB and the usb cable to your pc.
Whats up guys? I did a factrory reset/wipe data on my tf300 tab and now its stuck at the asus screen I cant even get it to turn off till the batteryruns down Power and volume down just turn the screen off for a second then back to asus screen. Any tips? Should i just replace the motherboard? What all will that involve other than the hardware swap?

Is your device unlocked? What version android were you running? And does nothing show up if you continue to hold the volume down and power button after it resets? Hopefully you'll be able to fastboot TWRP recovery. I encountered a similar problem when I tried to install a custom 4.1 ROM from stock Android 4.0.3, but my device was unlocked and I was able to successfully get things going after carefully searching these forums.

Yes it is unlocked Jellybean nothing happens if i keep holding the volume down and power except the screen goes off for a second the right back to the asus screen Fastboot won't work, it just says waiting for device My pc won't see it at all, not in device manager or anyuthing No apx either. If i could get fastboot to work i think i could fix it
I face a similar problem, but my fastboot is working. However, when I try to flash something through fastboot, the screen hangs until I reboot it. Also, if I choose one of the three options, it gives the message "Unrecoverable Bootloader Error."
I almost for got the details:
Bootloader - 10.6.1.18....I think...(it's JB 4.2.1, I'm sure)
Recovery - formerly twrp-2.4.4-jb.blob ( not 2.4.4-jb-42.blob)
Android - not booting
Device unlocked
Error (in red letters) - Unrecoverable bootloader error)
And no, I do not have NVFlash.
Any thing that I might've missed? Please let me know. ASUS wants $99 just to troubleshoot over the phone. I don't think so.
Also same problem. Fastboot 'sees' the TF300 device but does not flash.
I have the same problem. Fastboot 'sees' the TF300 device but does not flash. If somone has come up with a solution for this, could you please share, it would be greatly appreciated. Did Asus finally release NVflash for JB 4.2? It seems it is the only possible way of solving this, or isn't it?
Thanks for your help

What happened in the end? Did you go to ASUS and get it repaired? How much did it cost?
Hi guys,
I solved the problem with the bootloader error (0x0000000) assistance in sending the TF300T. I told him that during the upgrade something must have gone wrong and the OS did not boot anymore. They repaired free of charge. My dealer to whom I entrusted the tablet is Mediaworld (a chain of electronic products Italian). I hope you can serve
(SOLVED)
hi all. i screwed my tab up pretty bad. i think i flashed a corrupt backup.
when i turn it on, it stays on the factory Asus on image. don't know if thats the right term for it, but it's the image BEFORE boot animation starts. It will stay on that til battery dies.
when i try to go into twrp, it says "unrecoverable bootloader error" in red letters. i believe fastboot still works since when plugged into laptop, if i type "fastboot devices", it lists tablet serial number.
i think i need to flash bootloader, recovery, and rom through fastboot, BUT, never had to use fastboot and cannot find directions for it.
if it's listed somewhere, very sorry and can you point me towards it?
if not, any smart cookies wanna help me with my screw-up?
much appreciated.
I hope this helps:

Glad you got your problem resolved. :good:
I have messed around with all my electronics in the passed, rooted them, put custom roms etc. with no trouble. So after getting frusterated with my Asus TF700T, I decided it was time to put Cyanogenmod on it. I read up on the forums and it recommended TWRP, I have always used clockwork mod but because TWRP was recommended I used that. I followed the directions and rebooted to the startup and it is stuck on the Cyanogenmod startup screen. So thinking that maybe it was just taking a long time because it was the first time, I waited and waited and waited. 24 hours later still stuck on the startup screen. I decided to try again, I pressed the power button and the volume down button and this is what I see:
Key driver not found.. Booting OS
Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "US_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801" A03
Starting Fastboot USB Download Protocol
Than I have 3 choices to choose from: RCK, Android, and wipe data
When I press volume up once to select RCK I get a message stating:
Booting Recovery Kernel image
Booting Failed
Unrecoverable bootloader error <0x00000000>. (This part is in red)
After reading I decided to try tranformer tool kit. So I put the tablet into APX mode. Seems to work, tablet restarts with a blank screen, the computer makes the appropriate noises expected when it detects the tablet, but when I check ADB I get a message ADB is not working or communicating with your pad. Evidently I screwed things up somewhere but I don't know where to go from here... Please, If anyone can help, It would be so appreciated.
Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck
I sounds like the recovery flash failed. If you haven't already, I would try to re-flash TWRP through ADB and fastboot.
If you aren't sure how to do that through ADB use this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2688891
Its the beginners guide in the general section.
I may be wrong here, but I've taken my TF700 from the brink of death and back again a few times.
What TWRP version did you flash and how???
The unrecoverable bootloader error is not good news. Usually you need a buster99 to get your tablet back - if you still can get into the bootloader and fastboot.
If you can, follow the instructions below to the letter (naturally you have to flash the TF700 system blob, not the TF300!), then flash a compatible recovery and a rom compatible with your recovery and bootloader. And if you're not sure ask first, then flash....

Ummmm let me take a wild guess what customer support will advise:
Sorry you unlocked so no warranty but send it in and for $300 we may repair it. If we can't we only charge you for shipping both ways.
Nice to see you, Asus! Where've you been the last 2 years?

Hush! @Asus_USA wanted to anounce the roll-out of Android Lollipoop for ASUS Transformers. Or was it the source code of bootloader?

Yeah - I had that dream too one time or another....
Hi all, I just encountered this same error message for the TF700T when going into fastboot mode
Key driver not found.. Booting OS
Android cardhu-user bootloader <1.00 e> released by "US_epad-10.6.1.14.10-20130801" A03
Starting Fastboot USB Download Protocol
All I have done is unlock the tablet. I was on the "Practice/Background" step in berndblb's (awesome) custom ROM guide before starting to load up fastboot and adb, when I saw the message in the upper left corner. When I go into RCK, "booting recovery kernel image" then appears under the error message. After 3-4 seconds I get the dead android with "error!" screen. When I power off, the tablet goes into normal bootup and the stock ROM still works perfectly fine.
Since it does, is there something I should do to resolve this issue BEFORE trying to push TWRP to the tablet? Just trying to be prudent...
Many thanks,
MM
Every Asus tablet I have seen has the "key driver not found" on boot - ignore it.
The dead Droid also is perfectly normal. It's the stock recovery not finding a firmware file to flash. Just keep going

Hello,
Decided today after a couple months of non-use to fire up my TF700 and update it. The device has been unlocked prior and KitKat4.4.4 installed with TWRP 2.6.3 I believe.
Today I was going to put TF700 LP 5.1.1][ZOMBi-POP OMNI KANG RC2][DEC 10] on it.
Reading the instructions I saw I needed TWRP 2.8.7.4 so I booted into Fastboot and was able to load this img file.
After that I could no longer go into Recovery. It just hung on RCK (stopped flashing) and a power off was all I could do.
So then I notice that I was supposed to have boot loader 10.6.1.14.10, mine was 10.6.1.14.8.
So I believe I downloaded a kernel file instead of a bootloader and probably uploaded the wrong thing to the boot loader.
Now upon powering on the device, I see "The Device is Unlocked" at the top left of screen and the ASUS and NVDIA logos and that is all it does (regardless of the power/dn vol combo).
PC does not recognize anything is plugged into it (I assumed it wouldn't)
Any hope here, or should I toss it? (sad as it was working good, just wanted to update it).
Thanks.
