Hello everyone,
some days ago I flashed Android Revolution HD but shortly I've found out that the TF101 wasn't recognized anymore by my PCs. When I've inserted the stock cable the tablet turned on but nor win 8.1 64bit nor windows 7 64bit recognized it. It even hasn't appeared between the unknown devices in the related window, so I couldn't install any drivers. Then I've decided to clean cache and system on TWRP recovery and after reboot the TF101 was stuck on logo screen, the boot one, not the next one with the ASUS logo.
Now the stock cable and the stock charger still work, they charge the tablet but the charging screen doesn't appear, if I turn on the device, it shows only the first android logo with the green bar, if I try to enter recovery with volume down button, it says 'entering the recovering' but it doesn't go any further. Last chance is the APX mode, with the volume up and turn on button: I've tried it but I can't recognize if it enters APX or not, I only know that in the devices list doesn't appear any unknown device, and I'm sure that the TF101 has never been connected before to this PC. At least, if I was able to connected it in APX I would use Easyflasher and flash stock rom.
Basically now it's a bricked tablet, any help please? Someon can tell me specifically how to enter APX mode, or is it a cable issue? Is this thing called 'governor' related to this?

Not sure if I have successfully bricked my first android device or not but here I am. I can not get a succeessful power button/Vol down choice so I can reinstall the ROM.
It looks like I can get to what I think is called apx mode by using the reset button and power up. I installed the Asus Sync pack to get the drivers, (tried on win8 and win7), I tried adb on both OSes but still get no device found. Neither of my OSes are recognizing the device either.
Am I in a state where if I get the OS drivers right I can basically reinstall recovery to the internal drive and go from there?
Currently I just have that dang asus screen and it won't even power off after holding the power button down for 10-15 seconds, it just reboots to the Asus screen.

People are generally not able to restore after a full wipe
APX mode is possible only if you have made Nvflash Backups beforehand (before bricking).
I received an Acer A700 from friend and here is the story;
He started getting the boot loop issue, Acer logo and reboot, etc...
He got into factory reset mode, and attempted a factory reset, during the process, it froze on "formating" and he attempted to shutdown the tablet. After he shut down, the tablet no longer does anything! Power LED only comes on during charging, and no beeps, no vibrate, no screen, just black. I have tried to use the usb connector to connect to my PC, but the device shows up as an APX device, but drivers fail to load, and then the device disappears. I have tried to install the latest usb driver from Acer, but no luck. I have the same tablet and I use CM and would like to get him moved over to that if possible! Any one has any suggestions, or is he bricked?
Thanks

If he's booting in APX mode, (black screen, PWR lite on, and seeing it shows up as an APX device), he's pretty well bricked. Problem is, it takes NVFlash to flash the proper files in that mode, and unfortunately also and SBK (Secure Bootloader Key) which Acer refuses to give us.
He can try doing a manual data erase (there's a post sticky on key combinations in the forums that explain how. )
If he can get it into fastboot somehow, it's possible to erase some of the partitions. Might help.
Heres the link for some manual modes. Note that some of them changed from ICS to JB, so might help to read all the posts. If he can get to fastboot, it would help a little.
I've had my eee Pad Transformer TF101 for a few years now. I've had it rooted for most of the time, I've installed several roms before. But a few months ago I hard bricked (Pretty sure it's a hard brick) my tablet installing a new rom.
It will turn on, but it well stay on the ASUS logo for 5 minutes then turn off and start back at the ASUS logo until it turns off again. I use the power and down key to somewhat access recovery. I attempt to access recovery but all I get is a screen with an android on it's back with the red explanation point signal. The blue bar under the android acts like it loading, but I never get past this screen, and after a few minutes it will reboot to the ASUS logo again.
Also when I plug my tablet into my computer it will recognize that something is plugged in but is unable to install the driver. I've attempted to install other drivers but my computer wont allow me to, it keeps telling me the driver I have installed is the best driver, even though its not working.
I've looked all over xda, and I've tried easyflasher and peri. but I'm unable to connect to my computer successfully in order to get either to work.
Does anyone have any advice?
You need to get the Universal Naked Drivers installed
If you are running 64bit Windows, disable driver signing from safemode options - or use Win 7 32bit
Win 8.x needs driver signing disabled for both flavours
--
You need to stick the TF into APX mode (Power off then Vol up & power till the PC recognises it and tries to install the drivers) then install the above drivers and try Easyflasher again
I got the Universal Drivers working a few hours ago. I was able to boot into APX and have my transformer recognized by my computer. I ran Easyflasher several times trying to flash a recovery and using the stock/unbrick option, but it hadn't ran all the way through or told me on the tablet that it was successful until a few minutes ago. I tried again a few minutes ago and Easyflasher went all the way through and the tablet stated on screen that it was successful, excpet now I can't boot at all or even attempt to pull up recovery, it now doesn't boot into anything but APX.
Did you use the correct SBK on Easyflasher?
B6O serials and earlier are SBK1, some B7Os too, the rest above are SBK2
Wont do any harm using the wrong one, it just wont work
And to get out of APX mode, hold power for 30 seconds~, then power on normally
--
Did you try flashing it back to stock using the stock firmware instructions on the Easyflasher page ?
If you only flashed TWRP recovery, you will need to power on normally (not recovery) at least once and hopefully see the blue update progress bar under the ASUS logo for a few seconds while it updates RCK - then you should be able to power off and press VOL DOWN & POWER till you see the white text at the top of the TF screen - then release all buttons and within 5 seconds, hit POWER UP once to enter recovery
Hi! I rooted my tab, installed TWRP and flash a custon rom (CM 11). Everything was fine until I done a factory reset (needed to complete something). Now my tab keeps restarting. I can not access it (via fastboot or adb - <wait for device>). I don`t know what to do? I can not enter in TWRP menu or console (do nothing), only restarting. Power + Vol Down does no work, i can not stop my tab. Please, any help????
Try with cmd command "adb shell recovery --wipe_data"
have the same issue and adb commands do not work at all. Seriously looking at getting a new motherboard for it. Since it is stuck boot looping, neither adb nor fastboot see the device
Whrere you tablet loops;On asus logo or after that;Sorry for my englisg
Tablet boots to Asus logo, then get to TWRP logo and sits there. Eventually it just reboots and repeats. I haven't tried to get into apx mode yet.
have you installed naked drivers;.There is for usb drivers...
Not yet, gonna try and install the naked drivers tonight using the apx mode and see how that goes. Right now, in the boot loop, the computer never recognizes the tablet, so I can't do the device manager bit needed to install the naked drivers. I do have adb and fastboot on the pc already. It is how I flashed TWRP to begin with
when you plug table to pc with usb nothing jappens.?Windows not show "new device found"?
No nothing happens at all. I can't even seem to get it into apx mode. The tablet starts and I get the Asus logo. Then 4 penguins and then the TWRP logo. It hangs on the TWRP logo for about 20 seconds and then reboots. It will reboot three times in total and then shut down. Thinking it is my cheap chinese USB cord that is the issue. I am going to order a new cable and a broken/parts tablet off ebay. My case is having issues anyway. I will swap out the parts I need and make one good tablet. I will still keep this motherboard around to see if I can fix it
when twrp logo and connect usb what happend?windows doing something?
Windows does nothing. I am sure that it is my USB cable. I have ordered an actual Asus cable off of ebay and will see what happens when it shows up
Well, I hit the wall with this tablet and can't get it to do anything as far as fixing it. I started searching Ebay for a new motherboard and stumbled across a bunch of auctions for TF300Ts with keyboard docks. Bought one for 35$ + shipping. It should be here on thursday. I will still eventually get a new motherboard for the other one
Hi my fellow XDA people,
I recently got a Zenpad S 8.0 (Z580CA) for close to nothing and I loved the little thing. However it was still running 6.0.1 and I decided I wanted a custom ROM and root it. Starting with some guides how to unlock the bootloader I started with the whole ADB/Fastboot thing, but it got stuck and now I got a bricked device
The situation now:
Charging works fine
The tablet starts, but without the ASUS logo and immediately enters a bootloop with the following:
the Android robot with a hardhat
A USB image with the text: "No USB Cable connected!" (No matter if there is or isn't any USB cable connected)
To fix it I'm hoping to get to a recovery/droidboot menu to do a hard reset or update from SD or via a PC, but I've tried the following without any result:
Power + volume up
Power + volume down
Power + volume up + volume down
Drain the battery and one of the options above
Connecting to a PC and using adb/fastboot/asus flashtool
Unfortunately this option doesn't work, because the PC only recognizes the tablet for a second when the android man shows, but disconnects as soon as the " no usb cable connected!" is in screen.
A different Cable/PC makes no difference
I'm afraid it's really dead now, but I'm hoping anyone has an idea or finds this a challenge .
