Hello to everyone. I beg your help, please. I bought this amazing second hand tablet last friday. At the first attemp, and because I didn't want to read all the threads, I bricked the tablet. Yes, stupid thought, I know.
Because I wasn't happy with the result, I wiped all and delete bootloader, system, data... Everything. I know something with Microsoft issues and brave me (and silly) I thought It was similar, that I could start from outside of the tablet even if it was blank.
Anyway, the facts are:
The tablet is allways on, in APX mode. When I press down the power boton, it reboot. I know because when it's conected to my laptop, I can see the USB interface conected and the APX mode on it.
The screen is allways in black. ALLWAYS. No matter if I try to start in recovery in bootloader or any other way to start the system. Black, nice black.
Of course, no result in Power + Vol up, Power + Vol -, pressing power during 3 hours and 23 minutes... (I'm joking), but for long.
The only signal by which I know that it's not dead at all its when I conect the charger. I can see the small orange light in the power buton saying: "I'm alive"
Ok, I don't know what to do. I've read during the weekend as much as I could, tried evrything and nothing fixed. If it helps, before playing to be God, I had Android 4.0.1, I unlocked the bootloader with the apk, I installed the TWRP recovery and everything were right until I wanted to update the rom. Some mystakes that I don't remember and this is what I can tell you. Any holy soul which can help me, please? If not, can anyone help me? Thank you and I'll be looking forward your help.

Are you able to access fastboot? If so, flash the STOCK ASUS 4.0.1 Rom again. The mistake I think you made was flashing a ROM not compatible with the bootloader you have. You first have to update the bootloader to 4.1.1 or 4.2.1 to flash any of the current ROMS.
No fastboot, no bootloader update.

Thanks for the reply:
I can't access fastboot. The tablet does nothing, just allways on in APX, so I can't update the bootloader. Neither I can't switch it off. I've read smething about run out the battery and start a process with ODIN?
I haven't tried it before, but maybe there's a way to create a bootable SD that will automatically install one of the stock ROMs so you can start over again?
If you can't get to the bootloader/fastboot/recovery and only have APX and no back upped NVFlash files then I think you are bricked unfortunately
hi is there any solution to solve this problem, or tablet dead
I'm in the same situation! :crying:
no solution???
Same story
Same here -- black screen, PC recognizes it as an APX device, but neither fastboot nor adb seem to work.
I didn't even try to mod mine. I was just using it normally, and it crashed, and now all it does is give me a black screen. When I poke the reset button, my PC notices the device disconnection and then a minute later it re-connects, but still nothing.
Holding down volume up/down during reset does nothing. Holding down power, with or without volume buttons, for an extended period does nothing.
This looks to be like an epidemic problem for these devices. Has nobody gotten a handle on it yet?
pty
I am also in your situation.
I have a tablet with Tegra xperia 3, black screen! APX mode only!
Does not read any adb and fastboot driver!!
There are new?
Hi everyone,
for me now the same situation. Only APX aviable. no fastboot ect...
pls help me solve this issue.
Thanks a lot.
Turn on in APX-Mode. You won't see anything on the screen, the display does not turn on.
If you connect the USB cable to a Windows PC, Windows will recognize it as an APX device.
On this mode you may use nvflash tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969797.
If nothing works, you should exchange the Mainboard!
So I flashed my Trio Stealth pro 7" Tablet, which is a knock-off of the Ly-f1 tablet. I apparently used the wrong .img, because on the first boot up, the touchscreen does not respond at all. The screen displays a "Encryption Unsuccessful" error, and asks me to do a factory reset. Holding down the volume button and then powering on the tablet displays a black screen with nothing on it. Upon trying to connect it via USB to my computer, it is not recognized, and I'm not able to find the Drivers for my device. I now have the proper .img file, but I'm not able to get into recovery to flash it. How would I do that?
Thanks.
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).
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?
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
