Hi there,
I need your help urgently.
I received a brand new TF700T and did make it work to support root.
I also did unlock the bootrom protection.
When I tried to install a custom ROM manager (Clockwork Mod) image from:here
The device didn't want to start any more - showing message:
The Device ist Unlocked.
Android cardhu-user bootloader <2.10 e> released by "TW_epad-9.4.5.22-20120615" A03
Checking for android ota recovery
Booting recovery kernel image
But nothing happens anymore (
I can wait for the battery to run empty in this mode.
There' no chance to boot from Micro SD.
The only thing what works at the moment is to connect the device via APX drivers.
I tried to communicate with device via NVFLASH tool
But when trying this - I get the message:
Nvflash started
Unknown Device found
Does any one have an idea where to find appropriate drivers for Nvflash?
Or the parameters to match TF700T?
Thanks in advance!
if you are able to access APX then you still have hope, first of all you need to push custom recovery like TWRP via fastboot mode and then install custom ROM. Most likelly you were to lazy to read a lot information on this forum how to install stuff properlly.
EDIT: if Tf700t has pin hole you should turn it off despite waiting for it to discharge...

I did already read a lot - for hours and nights.
But my main problem is: UNKNOWN DEVICE
What does TWRP mean? How do I get fastboot to work?
I'm even not allowed to enter recovery mode.
The device is just recognized as an APX -device...
I can't push or download any custom ROM since I can't communicate with the device in both directions...
For those who messed up really bad and can't boot but are unlocked.
EDIT: I didn't see that you are not unlocked. then you should Power on + volume down, wait, see two icons select wipe, pray to god it helped or not. And if it doesn't boot and you are not unlocked last thing to do is RMA.
You are not allowed to enter recovery because you have stock one with droid dead and red triangle I guess.This is TWRP site and all instructions are here TWRP - Team Win Recovery Project is alternative to ClockworkMod Recovery but better. to get to fast boot turn on your tab holding power on + volume down and then do nothing while it asks to pres up. if you are unlocked you will see 3 icons select usb drive icon. FASTBOOT mode. now follow instructions from TWRP site. after that youl need custom rom zip. if recovery instaled successfuly and you can get into it you'll need to put custom ro into microSD or if you can into internal storage. if you can't conect to pc via cable and start cmd if Windows or terminal if Linux or mac. type
Code:
adb shell
mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /data/media
you will be able to access microSD via recovery (unless it is different than Prime tf201 you will need different command, but give it a try)

Thanks for advise - BUT
I have no choice like selecting Fastboot or USB etc. with volume buttons.
These options unfortunately do not come up anymore.
My device is definetly unlocked. It shows up "Device unlocked" when trying to boot normally.
When trying to go to recovery, with Volume - hold, the device tries to launch to recovery but hangs in status:
Device is Unlocked

I have NO option to go to fastboot! Only way will be APX but nvflas always tell me unknown device.
So I was looking for any other version of nvflash.
In other forum I did find hint for nvflash ICS but didn't find right version yet.
If I only could get communication via APX worked to my device, then I could send data via nvflash and APX...
I assume you can't even go to rom as it bootloops on EEE pad screen not on rom splash screen
1. Did you try Wipe option in (power + volume down, wait 5 sec.)? [it is esential in all situations of trying to recover]
2.ammm... when you enter "adb devices" in your cmd on PC doesn't it show anything (do it while your tablet is on and hangs anywhere, just make sure it is on)? list is empty? if not it shows your device with some random letters and numbers.
Try manually setting your pc. Download android SDK and all packages for Android 4.x then in Device Manager (Control panel) find your Tablet and update your driver to Android ADB interface (you can experiment, till your device is shown correctly via adb devices command).
But first of all make sure you do or did first step. it is common issue among Prime users so maybe it can help you.

I would like to exchange email-adresses to enhance communication.
You could also send email to [email protected]
I did try with button combination (power & + button) as well, but device did not wipe.
For now - I'm about to update Android SDK )
Hopefully this works to recognize my TF700T...
If you manage to unbrick please post the information back here it may be helpful to others.

How did you get your TF700 unlocked? Asus hasn't posted an unlock tool for it yet that I could find.

Unlock + Root was never a problem.
I managed it to unlock the device using the TF300T tool / link.
Boot loop was big problem.
I did raise RMA in the meantime. New device is on the way.
Thanks to all repliers.
I will keep off doing this again / wait until xda-experts will provide a working way to CWM TF700T.
My Transformer Infinity isn't bricked, I just can't get it to boot into recovery. (I'm unlocked and rooted, but no custom ROM.) I have tried both CWM and TWRP 2.2.0 with GooManager. The tablet just won't boot into recovery mode. I can hold the Down Volume key and Power button to have the initial boot up menu display. When I press the Up Volume button to boot into recovery mode, it just hangs like the OP talks about. I then have to hold the power button for about five or so seconds to get it to power down again. I can turn it back on and it will boot normally.
I thought maybe something was messed up because I installed busybox, or hacked the Flash Player to work in desktop mode, or tweaked the build.prop file or something. I've put the build.prop file back to default, and removed the busybox apps, but that hasn't resolved the problem. I've tried re-running the unlock tool, but it fails halfway through. I'm not sure if that's normal or not after you've run it once, or an indication of something messed up.
Any suggestions on what else to try or look at are appreciated.

UPDATE: I finally got TWRP 2.2.2.0 to work using the following option from the Instruction Page (http teamw.in/project/twrp2/105):
Download - ADB / Terminal method:
Download the above file. Save it to the root of your /sdcard directly (internal memory only) and rename it to twrp.blob
Launch terminal emulator or connect to your computer and open an adb shell, then type the following:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
Then reboot to complete installation.

Trying to flash the new CWM recovery, too. Mine gets stuck in the bootloader menu (where you have to choose between Wipe, fastboot mode, and cold startup). Every time I select fastboot it says "starting fastboot usb protocol" and just hangs there.

That is what it says when you are in fastboot mode, the rest of the job you do with a computer. Also we have had major issues with cwm on the Prime, I would recommend TWRP!

First off, my tf700 is rooted and unlocked. Now, after I flashed the US JB update through clockwork recovery, I lost recovery as expected. But what was unexpected was that i lost recovery completely. I installed TWRP through the goo app and now i have a working recovery. Here is the kicker, when i hold vol down and power I am brought the the screen that has several icons. They are RCK, the Android, USB icon(fastboot), and wipe data. I can only select the RCK option no matter how i try to select the other icons. both vol up and vol down select the highlighted icon.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Imo,your recovery was still there after updating to Jelly Bean,but it was different from ICS (Volume down + Power get you directly to those icons) so you ended up installing TWRP.However,if your OS still starts you could try installing this recovery and maybe will help get fastboot back,even if i find it odd that recovery is working but fastboot not.

Unless I'm reading the OP of the linked thread wrong, don't you need fastboot to flash that recovery in the first place? I'm also having issues getting fastboot to work.

You can also use ADB to install a recovery.
it's not that fastboot isn't working. it's just that I can't highlight it to enable it. both Vol up and Vol down select the highlighted item. which in my case is RCK. I can't select anything other then that. I'll try the ADB commands when I get home.
thanks for getting back to me
SOLVED!
Well, I managed to fix my fastboot issues. All i had to do was downgrade to the stock .30 software then update back to the 10.4.4.16 OTA. At that point, I was able to access the fastboot mode and was able to flash the latest clockwork without issue. TOTAL PITA but everything works fine. Now time to root.

Real pain having to start over again....
UPDATE: Before you go the long route...... I left it for a while and later tried again and figured out that you can only scroll through the icons using the LEFT (volume down) button. The right button is the SELECT button, so just hit the vol-down again till you are on the fastboot icon, them the vol-up button!

JB does not have the USB icon. You are already in a fastboot mode when you boot into the bootloader. If you look at the fine prints in the upper left corner, you will see that you are in the fastboot mode..

Win8 is a little tricky. You may not have a fastboot driver for your device. You could search around to see if you can find a driver for win8.. I think that sbdags has a win8 driver somewhere on his original post. Naked driver may work but you have to test it out for yourself because I don't have win8 to test, sorry... I will let you know if I can find the driver for win8.. What do you want to do with your device? You may be abe to achieve what you need with adb too, just a thought...
I tried GOOMANAGER but wasn't rooted and I think that might have screwed up my Fastboot possibly....when I try to do boot into recovery now and select the RCK option I get the dead / sick droid and it says error every time. I don't know what to do now! Any ideas? I also tried to downgrade from 10.6.1.14.10 to 10.6.1.14.8 so I can root and install TWRP and ROMS, but need to get into recovery to do that. I cannot get into Fastboot / recovery to load stuff!!! HELP!!!!!!!!

I've unlocked the bootloader and I wanted to root it. I'd like to put a custom recovery TWRP and custom ROM probably CM 10.1 or something like that. Currently I'm running stock ROM build JOP40D.US_epad- 10.6.1.14.10-2-13-8-1. (I understand this build is not rootable so I was going to either downgrade or try to load a custom ROM) Kernel version 3.1.10-gb1a9af5 [email protected] #1
When I get to the fastboot menu there are the three options to chose from and when I select the RCK I get the dead droid with error underneath every time. So I have been unable to load anything.

The dead adroid is the stock recovery. There are two option for you to install the custome recovery.
1. Downgrade your firmware version and use motochopper to get root before using goo
2. Use fastboot to install your custome recovery
Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252563
The last few pages have an instruction and link to use fastboot.... Good luck..

Not sure how to get the drivers to recognize....without that I'm dead in the water...any thoughts?? I thought for sure that the ones from ASUS would do the trick....
Should I have other menu options at Fastboot?

I followed this to the "T"
This is the summary from the Scott post:
1. Download the "install recovery.zip" from the above link
2. Extract it some where on your computer, prefer in the document folder
3. Check and make sure that the "USB debugging" is ticked on your device under the developer option menu
4. Download the TWRP 2.6.1.0.blob file from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/tf700t
5. Rename it to "recovery.blob" and put it in same folder with all the fastboot files so that you can use Scott's script
6. Double click on the Scott's script or bat file and follow the instructions on the screen until you see the phrase says "write is okay or completed"
7. When it is finished, you can now reboot your device, done..
When it reboots it will not load drivers and I cannot access the tablet / fastboot.
It shows this at fastboot and I cannot do anything. Happens with script and if I manually do it. I can't use fastboot no matter what I try the USB drivers do not recognize the tablet.

I don't think that will help as the Recovery gives me the dead droid every time. I was trying to replace the recovery in this exercise. This is more of a pain that its worth I think. Phones are so much easier to do this with. UGH!

Follow this post - - > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30260444 <-- if you want to install the drivers.
Also make sure that you have a working fastboot environment and run the command prompt from the folder where fastboot.exe is located. The dead android you are seeing when accessing the recovery it's normal with Stock Recovery, nothing is wrong with your device.
BTW, i suppose that your device is already unlocked because otherwise Fastboot won't work.

Dead Droid with the word "Error" underneath it is normal?
Yes the device is unlocked. I cannot get into recovery and cannot get Fastboot to work because the stupid USB drivers don't recognize the tablet. Works fine when not in Fastboot mode, but when goes into fastboot no USB. It's maddening!!!!
Yes dead android it's ok.As for the driver just follow the link i posted and install the driver manually,that will solve the driver issue.

What Windows version are you running? Win 8 doesn't seem to recognize the fastboot drivers, or maybe it was that you have to change the option of Windows only using Microsoft signed drivers?? Can't quite remember. But lots of people were unsuccessful getting fastboot to work in Win8.

Read the text in the upper left corner. The 10.6.1.14.x bootloaders enable fastboot automatically in the bootloader menu.

Thanks,
that is what i was thinking/hoping, but adb devices shows up with nothing. is this (another) windows 8.1 issue perhaps?
In fastboot you would use: "fastboot devices"
If that returns nothing, you will have to find the correct drivers for your PC. In Win 8 you have to turn off Windows driver signature verification or some such... Search for it - there are a couple of threads that help you to get Win 8 work with fastboot.

NVIDIA 1.x to 3.x - Android 4.x to 5.x (KitKat to Lollipop) -- Untested by me but should match for K1 NVIDIA 0.0.0 - Android 5.1.1:

As for how to fix.
Hold power button until device turns off completely
release power button
Hold volume down button, while continuing to hold volume down, press power until device turns on and menu appears.
Once the fastboot menu appears, connect to the PC.
use fastboot to flash a recovery compatible with marshmallow (e.g. - fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-0-shieldtablet.img ) (NOTE: Use romracer's Marshmallow 3.0.0-0 here if on A6.0 or above)
select Reboot Recovery on the device just to prime it and go in once (this is what I do, you could just reboot if you like).

I tried that- it shows 'waiting for device' , im in fastboot menu on the device, and i gt the usb drivers instaled, and yes i tried different usb port. Is the usb drive different for W10>?
Have you tried selecting fastboot on the device (should pretty much reboot the bootloader screen and end up right back at the same menu?
It sounds like your drivers are installed wrong and/or you selected the wrong driver if the device is not showing in Windows.
If the above doesn't work, I would disconnect the device from the PC.
Open device manager.
Connect the device to the PC, and watch what the device gets recognized as.
Then forcibly update the driver and point it to the one from this package and select the fastboot one: http://developer.download.nvidia.com/mobile/shield/SHIELD_Family_WHQL_USB_driver_201506.zip

When I forcibly update the driver and point it to the one from this package it shows 'the folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for you device'.... The tablet boots to the rom and then goes to a bootloop , and i didn't have developer mode turnd on. Maybe that's y i cant connect to ADB -fastboot.
Any suggestions>?
I can't speak to Windows 10 as I refuse to use that OS.
I can say the driver package is right and should most certainly contain the fastboot driver for all version of the Shield Tablet.
You should not be seeing the NVIDIA logo if doing things right. It should turn on to the bootloader menu. If you see the NVIDIA logo, then start over as it didn't register you turning it on and holding the volume down at the same time. Generally I keep holding volume down until I see the bootloader menu.
The bootloader and fastboot mode have nothing to do with if you have enabled USB debugging or not as it is well before that level of OS.
Where is the link twrp 3.0.0.1 cheers
