Ok, so I gave my wife my old TF101 when I got the 701. I reflashed it with a fresh install of timduru's KatKiss ROM. It's been running reasonably well aside from random reboots. all of a sudden, yesterday it stopped booting up at all. It shows the normal Asus flash screen, but then when it shows the OS specific one (in this case, the weird little picture of timduru's meerkat thing...) it's just flashing random little bits of tha tpitcure all over different parts of the screen an some sort of random flickering and never going past it. I can still boot to the recovery normally, so I wiped it and tried reflashing the same ROM and ended up with the same thing. Tonight I plan to try to download the newer version of the ROM and try, but I fear I may be SOL. Any other suggestions?
Have you tried wiping everything 100% in TWRP Recovery?
Including Data etc ?

Yes, I did that. Still no good. I'm pretty much screwed, aren't I?
If your TF serial number starts B6O or lower, some B7Os too, then it is SBK1, which means you can use NVFLASHable ROMs - they delete and remake every partition on the TF and reinstall stock ROM - you could try that in case the sdcard is corrupt
stuck at TWRP screen, failed to flash bootloader
Hello everyone,
Not to thread jack but I have a similar problem and instead of opening a new thread I decided to revive this one.
I have a similar problem that my TF101 has been working flawlessly for many years. It is rooted and was running 4.3 ROM. As of yesterday, it just won't boot at all. It has been stuck at the NVidia screen and just sits there. I tried to enter recovery mode by using volume(-) + power and the unit presents the TWRP logo and just loops as well by showing the TWRP screen (3 seconds) then going blank for a second then showing TWRP screen again in a cycle. I downloaded and tried Easyflasher and Brks toolkit and nothing can complete the flash. I can enter MTP mode which the computer can see the device but the manufacturer name and model are not-recognized. I can also enter APX mode but while trying to flash anything I get an error message (error, cannot flash bootloader) and the computer dings (device disconnects).
I have been trying for a day now and have run out of ideas.
Has the unit finally bit the dust? Does any one out there have any more ideas or suggestions on what to try next?
TIA for any help provided.

Dear guys and girls,
I have a problem. Since 2 days my tf300t is for some reason not starting up anymore. The start screen does not go away. Before it worked like a charm. I have tried almost everything, I can think of. As far as I know the latest firmware is installed. The problem is also that the tablet isn't in developer mode. So my options are limited afaik to fastboot. I have installed the naked drivers version 0.73. But windows is saying that the device is not started. Only fastboot is started as device. I have tried to reinstall the firmware by usb, but to no avail. It sends but doesn't write... I have drained the battery to zero level. Can anyone help me with this? What am I missing?

I'm also having this same issue. Tablet was working fine and then froze up. After rebooting we are now stuck on the Asus screen with the circular logo going. Waited over an hour with no change. Tried to boot into recovery and recovery crashes and gives me Error! This is a stock tablet that hasn't been unlocked or anything.
Update: Did a Data Wipe and the device rebooted and came up. Doing all the updates again. Hopefully it wont mess up again.
So you have an unlocked bootloader ?
Here goes: I was a happy OPO user using the latest crDroid ROM and AK kernel, when suddenly my phone entered the sleep of death. I turned it off and back on, and since then it is in an eternal boot loop, never going beyond the Oneplus logo.
I am able to get into fastboot mode as well as recovery mode (I am using Philz Recovery), however, here is where it gets weird. I was hoping to just flash another ROM from the recovery and fix the problem, but all my files and folders on the SD card are gone, almost as if the chip died.
I also tried flashing a different ROM using ADB, to no avail. ADB shows "OK" but nothing sticks. All I can successfully flash are the boot logo and the recovery. The phone never gets beyond the logo before it reboots.
Does anyone have an idea what else I could try? I feel like sending it back for a replacement, but I am afraid that this will take forever.
Do you have a OTG USB stick ? Maybe you can flash from there.
I was able to get my phone to boot using this:

All data is gone though. But at least I don't have a brick any more.
(backstory) Hi, ive had an Asus TF300T, for about 3 years now, unlocked, rooted it pretty early on... cycled between cyanogenmod and omnirom quite a bit, without really any major issues. Until today, i was running Cyanogenmods latest nightly build (CM11 Nov 5 2014), it worked just as any other nightly does a few bugs here and there, but nothing major and i hadn't done any major flashing or modding to the device. On my home from university, I turned my tablet off. And when i got home i plugged in the charger, and just as always the tablet turned on, showed the stock Asus screen, then changed to the Android boot animation... the animation then suddenly froze, and the device went into a boot loop... continuously... I dont know whats weong with it... tried to do a factory reset, i tried reinstalling the ROM, tried installing omnirom, but that got stuck on the OmniRom animation...
Im running Asus build 10.6.1.27.5
I had TWRP v2.7.0.1 installed but have now no longer works
id really hope there is a solution for this!
Thanks!
Edit: I dont know why, but when i try using fastboot or adb, the device isnt recognized. It doesnt show up on device manager either. I dont know if its the cable cause i bought it new, it says its can sync data, or a faulty charge/sync port....

^THIS!
I was just to open a similar thread, then i saw your post. I join your request for help!
A month ago i have done a favor to a friend by unlocking his tf300t and installing CM11 on it. A few days ago he comes to me with this problem. I've tried anything but still no success:
- restore a backup done before flashing CM11 --> restore ends correctly but the problem remains
- flash a rom (CM11 and OmniRom) --> flash ends correctly but the problem remains
- flash the stock firmware found on asus website (WW_epad-user-10.6.1.27.5.zip, the SKU is correct for my version) --> the flash process stuck (i had to force restart the tablet after almost 2 hours of "flashing")
Since the boot animation changes according to the rom, i suppose the flashing process works. But the problem remains: after a few seconds the animation freeze and the device restarts, in loop.
Informations on the system:
- build 10.6.1.27.5
- TWRP v2.7.0.1 (working!)
- adb works (i managed to set /data as rw and push the .zip file to flash)
- fastboot should work
Please help! I feel a bit responsible for bricking my friend's device
SOLVED!
Finally!
I had already tried this method, before requesting for help, but the first time didn't worked... I don't know why this evening the tablet decided to collaborate:

That worked for me! :victory:
I need help. I've had my old TF101 for a couple of years now. I was running KatKiss 4.3 when one day, I plugged it into an old soundboard to sound test some speakers. For some reason this sent it into a bootloop (it did the same to my G2, but I got it out easily). I figured it was not a big deal since I get into bootloops all the time, but I was shocked when I booted into TWRP and the touchscreen wouldn't work! So I rebooted it over and over but it still wouldn't boot regularly and TWRP wouldn't accept touches. I reflashed TWRP through adb (which worked in TWRP) and still nothing. Then I downloaded some TF101 unbrick tool that utilized nvflash, but it kept getting errors because it was missing files. After I used that, my tablet screen seemingly wouldn't turn on! I tried EasyFlasher with sbk2 (cause mine's a b70) but that did nothing. I was about ready to give up, when I stumbled across a thread here where a guy's tablet was stuck booting into apx mode. I guessed that that might explain the screen not turning on, so I tried the solution there, which involved another nvflash tool that was designed just to flash the base boot stuff, no ROM. This worked. After this I tried EasyFlasher again (with sbk1 this time) to get the Asus stock ROM, and it seemed to work, but the tablet wouldn't finish booting (I let it boot for over a half an hour). I flashed TWRP and some custom touchscreen enabled CWM with it, but the touchscreen still wouldn't work. I flashed regular CWM with it and tried to install KatKiss, but it wouldn't boot either. I tried multiple times wiping and flashing, but the touchscreen still won't work, and no rom will boot.
So now, I have given up, and for the first time in many years of rooting, roming, flashing and wiping, I have found a problem I can't figure out on my own or through Google or previous threads here, and I'm stumped. I'm actually quite surprised its taken me so long to get here. Anyway, Thanks in advance for the help!
Hi all, have a rooted OPO that was running ExodusOS. I decided to try a flash of Lineage and so booted into recovery, backed everything up, flashed it. Everything seemed to go okay but after the boot logo the screen just goes black and stays that way until it gets shut back off. I went back to TWRP, loaded my backup and all seemed well as I was still able to use my old backup just as normal. Well, I tried reflashing Lineage from TWRP again and I still get the same black screen issue. This time, however, the phone will neither boot into Fastboot nor into recovery mode and just goes straight into loading Lineage. Because of this I am left with a soft brick until I can get this straightened out. I tried connecting the phone to my PC but it is not detected as a device. I only need to boot into my backup one more time so that I can back everything up, so even if it's only a temporary fix, I'm okay with that too. Any suggestions?

Sounds like a Hardware issue? Sorry to say what your saying doesn't add up and or make sense. Fastboot should work no matter what even if you soft brick it and mess up recovery. I suggest letting the power fully drain maybe and google how to fast boot in case you are doing it wrong.

I've tried that but it can't find the phone. The phone gets detected as a new device in windows as evident from the device connection sound but it also never shows up in the list of devices from My Computer.

I agree with what @Shinobi_warrior said.Seems like you just have a soft brick,so you should be able to boot into fastboot mode without any issues.Are you sure you're doing it the right way? Did you try draining battery completely and then booting into fastboot(yes,you don't need much battery to boot into fastboot mode)?
Well I was finally able to get the device detected by ADB, but it just shows as offline. I attempted to use the repair kit and nothing seemed to happen. I also attempted a different tool (https://forum.xda-developers.com/on.../oneplus-one-toolkit-manudroid19-gui-t2807418) and then booting into either fastboot or recovery that way, a terminal window pops up and quickly disappears, and then nothing else happens. I still see the TugaPower boot logo and it still goes to the blank black screen after this.
