[Q] My Asus transformer stuck at "Eee pad" screen after turning on :(

After I had to fully turning off my eee pad (by holding power key 10 sec) before the airplane taking off, now I when I turn to turn on pad, it only goes to the blank screen showing "Eee pad" and now moving forward to lock screen. I have tried to turn it on and off more numerous time, same still.
Anyone has any idea why?

Can you get into bootloader? Put the update one the storage card and try reflashing. I believe it is the "down volume" and "power".

Yes, I could get into bootloader by pressing down volumn + power, but neither recovery mode nor wipe data mode works, the screen will just sit there for a long time.

Do you know how to use adb? Can you get an "adb logcat"? Depending on the Asus logo shown, the kernel might already be up

It sounds like the same issue a few us with bricked devices had 3-4 weeks ago. Our only solution after personally talking to a tier 3 Asus technician was to RMA. Ours became bricked after running Asus' Firmware update though so it's strange that yours is stuck out of the box.

same thing happened to me today. I was able to wipe data and get it to boot. I'm downloading the new firmware. Hope that will help. I'd been getting 2-3 SOD every day on this one.

Update failed and it won't recognize a manual search ofr update. Any suggestions?

Mine was working fine for 3 weeks and I was happy, I was even able to update the firmware (through microSD card). I think it went dead on me when I had to completely power off without turning off the music player (at least that's what I thought) before the airplane took off. If that's true, this will be such a mess up.
Now after numerous fail attempts to get it to wipe data or recover and boot (nothing happened and screen is still stuck at boot), I gave up. I think I have to RMA to get it to repair it.

solved (Q) Transformer stuck at password screen.

My transformer is unrooted (doing an rma). I tried to boot into apx mode. Nothing came up on my pc screen was just blank on the TF. Rebooted it and now I am stuck at a password screen which I never set. I have an rma and was getting this thing ready to send out.
I have no idea why its doing this. When I boot with vol - it just goes to the little android guy with an "!"
???

**Ok so I solved it, you need to do the vol- power thing. But I always kept pushing vol + right away when the white letters came up. I didn't do that this time and the wipe option came up!

when you go into apx mode, it's normal for the screen to stay black. until you execute the nvflash command...in which case (iirc) the screen should display something.
make sure you're following the instructions to the letter.

Sorry my usb port is broken. I was just testing if anything would happen in APX. When it came out it had an option to wipe or something about linux. I had never seen that so I held down the power. I need to get back to that screen to do the wipe but I can't.

Nobody knows what the password is? Or what to do?

Edited OP.

Still can't get it back
Hi,
It seems to be the only thread about this matter here. I'm new here, but I swear I tried to find any other problem like mine.
I also looked it up on other websites and blogs. I even tried to unbrick my Transformer, even though I'd done nothing that could brick it.
The thing is: I got that same screen asking me for a password that I have never set up. I tried the "vol- power" thing to wipe the data and nothing changed. My attempt to unbrick the tablet was also pointless.
I am kind of desperate right now. My Transformer was bought by some relative in the US last year - meaning I have no way to complain about it on the store. And I have never done anything that was not official in it. Someday, somehow it simply stopped working. At first was that black screen, but a ~7 seconds power button did the job.
Now I've got this really annoying password asking. It's giving me nightmares.
Please help. Please.
Thank you.

password screen
i am also stuck at this password screen when i didnt not set any password for my transformer. i had started it up in the am no problem and then it froze around noon and then when i rebooted it, it came to this password screen, and nothing works, I have talked to the guys over at transformer forums and they said that i should try to go in it through my computer but my computer doesnt seem to recognize it either. I dont know what to do and i feel like i have a 500 dollar paper weight...can anyone help? its a tf101 32 g asus transformer

[Q] AT&T HTC ONE X Stuck in Boot Loop and showing

Hi Developers
I am new to this forum. I have tried to Update my Phone using team won recovery. After installing the Rom the Mobile is went in the Bootloop and cannot go to Bootloader and Recovery and also when I try using CMD or any other method from PC. The phone is not detected and it shows Device not found.
Can anybody help me recover?

You can read through this "roll up" to find all you will need to know/understand about your device.
I might suggest to start with the FAQ. You will also find a tool that will help you root your device, in the "roll up"

As soon as the phone starts to boot, hold volume down and power together, when the screen goes blank let go of power but keep holding volume down. This should get you to the bootloader, please post your bootloader details.

Similar issue, but boot loop won't stop

Hey Timmaa, it seems like I have the same problem as the original poster. I know a lot has been said about this topic but none seem to be as bad as mine. In my case, the boot loop won't stop even if I press the down volume and power button together. The bootloader just starts up, but then the phone reboots again (and again). In short, it won't stop long enough for me to do anything at all. Same issue when I connect to the laptop; it reboots before my computer even starts to detect it. Do you figure it is essentially bricked?
Just to let you know: this phone is tied to Singtel (Singapore telcom provider) and this issue only happened when I tried to do a factory reset (I got a new phone and was going to give this one to a friend). I may have screwed up in that I didn't let the phone charge before I tried the factory reset (it was only 5%). A couple of times, the phone did start up normally and it even entered the new phone set up utility. However, it went back to the boot loop within a few seconds and now won't even start up at all. Please help?

Does the phone power on at all now? You say in the beginning that it's looping but you say at the end that it won't start up at all, seems like a contradiction.

There is no such thing as "essentially bricked". Its either bricked, or its not. And on this device, if the screen still comes on, its not bricked.
Also, you got into this situation in a different way then the OP, so its not the same problem. Tagging onto someone else's post and saying you "have the same problem" when you in fact don't, is confusing.
As timmaaa asked, are you in a bootloop, or is the phone powered down now?

Hey guys,
Thanks for your replies. Sorry if that was ambiguous; I'm still learning my way around here.
To answer both your questions, the phone is in a bootloop. It starts up, shows the HTC logo and then repeats. What I meant by "won't start up" is that now it doesn't go beyond the HTC logo, even though it started up completely on a couple of occasions (got to the home screen) but started rebooting again after a few seconds. It just won't stop rebooting, as long as it has enough charge to.
Another thing I discovered is that the bootloader starts up even if I only press the volume down button (it reboots again after a second), so it seems like the power button is stuck pressed down. Do you think that explains it, and what can I do from here on? Thanks for your help.
Cheers.

If the phone is rebooting even while in the bootloader then the power button being stuck could be the cause. I've never heard of one of these rebooting even from the bootloader so that's actually all I can think of. I guess the only way to confirm/fix this would be to open the device up.

Yeah, it could be a power button malfunction; or battery or other power fault, or other hardware failure. In any case I agree that randomly rebooting even in bootloader doesn't look good.
Have you tried fiddling with the power button to see if you can get it "unstuck"? Although the issue may be with the switch under the plastic button.

[Completed] Sencor Element P470 not booting, no recovery mode, no logo, nothing

Hello Everyone!
I have had this phone since the end of August 2015. I have been experiencing some strange behavior this month, which was strange, considering it is not even 2 years old.
The phone would randomly freeze and then turn off, and refuse to turn on. When plugged in, it would charge from 0%, despite it turning off at like 40% or 60%. This was going on for a while, then one day it suddenly doesn't turn on anymore, it displays the logo and gets stuck there. When plugged in, it gets stuck in a boot loop. The only way to get it out of the boot loop was a battery pull.
I tried getting it to work by trying to access the android recovery mode, but it didn't even display anything this time. It was just gone. Now when I try to turn it on by holding the power button, it does literally nothing, even when it's plugged in.
What might be a problem here? Is there a way I can get it to work again, or is it done for?

Greetings and welcome to assist. I can find very little information on your device, all I can suggest is changing the battery and doing a factory reset other than that I am out of ideas

Thank you for your answer, Sawdoctor!
I understand the device is extremely rare, which is a big concern of mine regarding getting help from anywhere about fixing it.
Am I able to perform a factory reset when I can't access the android system recovery menu (in which in my understanding are you supposed to select the factory reset)?

Is your device recognised by your pc ? If it is you can try fastboot/sp flashtools other than that I am out of ideas
Hope you fix it

How can I solve this issue? Stuck at TWRP logo

Hi there,
more than two years ago I installed Cyanogen on my TF300T and very soon after I sold it to a friend of mine. He used it all the time but lately it slowed down a lot, so he brought it to a IT guy who tried to uninstall Cyanogen and re-install the original firmware (what????).
He failed miserably, and now the tablet is in this situation: as soon as you turn it on it shows the Asus logo with the "this device is unlocked" thing in the upper left corner. Then it goes straight to the Teamwin blue logo and gets stuck there forever. Every once in a while the screen blinks but that's all. I also tried to power off the tablet but every time it restarts itself. The only way to shut it off seems to be waiting for the battery to drain.
Is there a way I could possibly save this tablet, installing some new ROM on it? Thanks!

Anyone?

Bad situation! Hope you can make a "buster99" to get on stock rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44244313&postcount=12).
If you absolutely cannot reach fastboot, replacing the mainboard will be the only one possibility.
