help unbricking tablet

i rooted it after the ics ota using vipermods root program (cant remember what its called) and now its stuck in CMW and wont reboot past that. i learned that this version of CMW for the transformer has those issues and found a thread thats like a support thread and has ways to fix it. i tried all the methods it gave me and non seemed to work. Im posting this here instead of on that thread cause im hoping for some more direct help. Any idea?
Also: I am a total noob at using ADB and stuff so youll have to bear with me.

Hold the volume down key immediately after pressing "Reboot now" in CWM. When the white letters start at the top left you can let go. Choose to boot to Android.
After that you should be able to connect using adb. That will be the key in using adb in CWM. Once you get adb running you can reboot, run the adb script to stop the reboot and fix that nasty boot issue.
Good luck.

If you can cold boot into the OS you can use Terminal emulator also if you're not good with ADB.
Do what wolftroy1 stated above, if you can't get it working that way just turn your tablet totally off.
Now push and hold VOl down plus power button
When you see words scrolling at top left
wait a bit till you see option to wipe data or cold boot
choose cold boot to see if you can get into the OS

im cold booting into linux (thats what it said when i chose Android when it gave me the option between Wipe Data and Android) and its been about 5 minutes. its still at that same screen. How long is this boot supposed to take?

It shouuldnt take more than 10 minutes or so.

Bricked for good?

So I've managed to brick my Optimus 2x (which I later found out to be a G2x) and I can't get into recovery because I'm an idiot and I used rom manager and I'm freaking out because the phone's a day old and I've already managed to ruin it and yeah. I've tried a few of the un-bricking methods but it keeps telling me the phone isn't found (I do have the usb drivers in case you're wondering).
So, any suggestions?

Sometimes you can access S/W update screen by pulling the battery, holding power and vol- button and inserting the battery. Continue holding the Button combo until it goes to S/W update.

Did I brick my phone...?

Okay, so I was on Sense 3, unrooted. I tried to root, but it had to downgrade me to GB. That went okay. Here's the issue.
After going through the whole root process with Gingerbread, Command Prompt said that root was successful(Not those exact words, but I remember myself thinking, "YES!"). Then, when it booted into the HTC screen, it faded away slowly and now it's a dim black screen. Nothing but that. Can I get some help from anyone?

I can't do it. I press the V- and Power and hold and nothing ever comes up. All that's on the phone is the Orange charging LED. I'm pretty sure it's off now.

Does the phone boot into the rom as usual? If it does, search for fastbook and uncheck it. It's either under development settings or battery or one of those.
Edit: I just went through your posts. Buddy, just read the whole guide I sent you. Try to familiarize yourself with it and you will be fine.

Well it goes to the screen that says HBOOT in blue. On top it says "ACE PUT SHIP S-OFF RL" then some other stuff. If I do Reboot or Recovery, it goes to the same dim lighted screen. Should I do a Factory Reset then just try to root again?

Nope, cause you are already rooted. If you run the hack kit again, chances are you will mess something up. That is what the s-off means.
Why it goes to the dim screen, no idea. Read the effen manual, find out what is going on. This part is serious, read the effen manual. If you don't find the solution there, then go to the irc channel and ask for help. Be patient. If you requesting for help for something that is covered in the manual, you will be ignored and kicked from the channel. So read the effen manual.
That is, if the problem started after running the hack kit. If not, well, take a different route.

I can 100% confirm that the HK said "Attained root, s-off, and installed Clockworkmod" It's just after that that things got messed up. When I tried to turn it on normally this morning, the orange LED started flashing and it viberated 3 times. Nothing else except the flashing LED. I understand that if I had bricked it, the ugly Red ! triangle would come up, right?

Come on, I know SOMEONE can help! Please, people? I want to try to have it running AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, rooted or not. Is it harmful that I've rooted it before, then unrooted it? I unrooted less than a month ago, in case it matters. I wanted to use Blackout ICS, so I wanted to root it again.

Can you use adb from the blacked out screen. What happens when you plug it in to your computer after turning it on, does the pc at least recognize it. If so you can use adb to reboot it into recovery. Once there install a Rom. Seems you have no boot IMG at the moment which would be causing your problem.

Have you tried pulling the battery for a few seconds too and then booting into hboot. It's probably a good idea to get into hboot first to confirm you have s off. Adb can be used to boot into bootloader as well.

Yes, I do have S-Off, the HBOOT screen says so, and so did Command Prompt. How do I get into ADB? I already have my preferred ROM on my memory card.

We need to see if adb can even recognize your phone. Use this guide to get adb running on pc. Boot phone as normal and let it go to black screen then plug into pc. From there type "adb devices" and it should list a device. From there type "adb reboot recovery". If you still can't get to recovery but device is recognized flash recovery again from aahk options menu from same black screen. And try the adb recovery command again. If you get to recovery report back as there is a trick to flashing blackout that I'll fill you in on so you dont end up back where you are. Aroma installer in blackout can cause issues if not done properly.

It went into the HTC screen (not Quietly Brilliant), then did the same thing The touch buttons are lit now, what does that mean? Should I wait a bit? And I just checked, Blackout isn't on my SD card!! I SWEAR I put it in. It's not too late, is it?

Okay, I'm trying to reflash recovery, but where do I go to after Options?
Never mind, I was so nervous I didn't read it its currently flashing.
Update: It STARTED, but then it said Device not found, waiting for device. What now?? The ADB recognized it, and so did the hack kit at first.

You could try flashing recovery by this alternate method in this thread. You could also try and installing a rom via PD98IMG which is also covered is this thread.

Once back to stock by Rom method you could just reflash recovery and then a Rom.

Before I read this, I tried flashing it again through AAHK again. It SEEMED like it finished. It said a bunch of things on cmd, then returned to the Main Menu without telling me it flashed. Then I pressed SOME kind of combo with the V & Power, and it came up to a screen that I didn't have much time to look at. It looked KIND OF the same as CWM, but I'm pretty sure I read the words Ace Hack Kit. What is that?
Another update: It was CWM, but the screen was flashing so I didn't know what to do. I know how to navigate around it(I was rooted a few months back), but I didn't have time do much before it completely exited and went to the usual.

[Q] Can't access fastboot...

Hey guys,
first of all, my powerbutton stopped working some weeks ago. I thought that not much of a problem, so I remapped this thing and perfect.
I noticed, if I turn off my phone, take battery out and back in, it restarts instantly. Seems to be stucked at "ON" or something.
Well I also noticed without touchrecovery, it's quite a problem to navigate through cwm recovery.
But there's still fastboot... naaah I couldn't find the phone in Windows to install drivers, thought that's a problem of Win8, but after that I tried same thing in ubuntu with manually installed drivers... still nothing.
Okay next thing, is, there are so many apps in the market, which install some recovery, autoflash stuff... Did that, (yeah I gave root access and so on) and still nothing happened, I'm still stuck with this cwm recovery and can't install new roms.
Now my Question(s):
Is there an Option to install some new recovery?
Is there a way to get Fastboot working?
Is there a way to get the Powerbutton in this state back to work?
Or kinda best worst case, is there an option to get my Nexus back to Stock and unroot to send it in, I still got warranty but this would require stock phone...!
Thanks!

Try capacitive buttons on your current recovery. On my current recovery the search button makes the same that the power button, so if in your recovery the button have the same behaviour then you can easily flash a stock rom

Okay, i just got told: "If the power button is always pressed, fast boot does not react on input from keys or over adb.."
Hope that's not the "notsolution" for my problem... ^^

You have no idea you have no /system to boot to since you've just said you wiped it.

Please refrain from recommending toolkits, especially to noobs who have already gotten themselves into a bind due to lack of knowledge. We need to try and encourage learning, not provide tools to get around it.
OP needs to flash a factory image with fastboot and then read up on flashing ROMs and the like before he attempts to do anything else, unless he wants to actually brick his device next time.

You don't need recovery to flash a factory image, just the bootloader. Hold volume down while powering the phone up. It'll boot into the bootloader and from there you can flash the factory image using fastboot.
And in the future, don't wipe /system. That's why you have no OS.

Are you continuing to hold volume down after pressing the power button or are you releasing it right away? You need to hold it until it boots into the bootloader.

You don't need recovery to flash a factory image, just the bootloader. Hold volume down while powering the phone up. It'll boot into the bootloader and from there you can flash the factory image using fastboot.
And in the future, don't wipe /system. That's why you have no OS.

Please read and respond to my last question.

Are you continuing to hold volume down after pressing the power button or are you releasing it right away? You need to hold it until it boots into the bootloader.

If one guide was read this all could have been avoided

Then you somehow managed to wipe your bootloader, I don't quite know how. Try holding both volume up and down while booting. Again, continue to hold both volume buttons until it boots. That'll get you into the secondary bootloader. If that doesn't work, then you're screwed.
