[POSTED IN THE WRONG FORUM. REPOSTED @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1174493]
Hello Folks,
I seem to have a problem and I can't find an answer in the forums.
I rooted my Asus Transformer with Android 3.1 using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125714
I only rooted the Transformer, I didn't install CWM. Everything was working fine until my overenthusiastic wife updated the tablet with the 8.4.4.11-20110711 update. Suddenly my tablet was unrooted again. I thought "No problem, no harm's done, I'll just reinstall the stock 3.1 and then root the device once again and just leave the new update for what it is for the moment."
The problem is that I can't get into APX mode anymore. When I try to start the device with vol+ and the power button, nothing's happening. Both buttons are working fine (neither's stuck). I thought that the device might just be showing me a blank screen but when I press and hold vol+ and the power button for 5, 10 or 30 seconds then wait 30 secs and start adb.exe it says my device isn't connected.
When I press vol- and the power button I do get the option to wipe all my data and factory reset (which I tried and is working).
When I press vol- and the power button then vol+ when it's booting to get into RCK (recovery kernel mode) I get a droid image with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark. Nothing happening.
Anyone got a clue what's going on and or how I can solve this issue?
The Transformer is working fine besides not being able to get into APX mode btw. I can use it, just can't root it anymore.
same situation here, just bought my eeePad today, updated to .11 version....now trying to root but can't figure out how...
I'm having the same problem. Brand new transformer, rooted it, and now I can't get it to boot past the splash screen. Tried putting it back into APX mode, and it doesn't work. Anyone find a solution to this?
I didnt even root mine and i have this ****ing problem -.-
Same problem..
You'll notice if you watch the device manager on windows, it flashes a refresh but the device doesn't show up. Looks like it's trying to work but doesn't catch..
SSame here after using Brk's on my 3.2 B70 tf101.
Same here. 3.1, rooted, CWM.
Same here on an Asus running Android 3.2.
Serial number B60KA.
Build number on mine is 8.6.5.9-20110816.
Anyone find a solution to this?
My friends tablet is at HTK75.US-8.6.5.13-20110925 and I just got it in to APX mode.
I had the Transformer turned off and plugged in, held vol up + power until I hear the first US notification noise and released the two buttons. The searching for drivers screen came up and it installed "Nvidia Bootloader Recovery" And now my safe to eject calls it APX.
I found if you hold the power and volume up for too long it messes things up.
Any news anyone? I would love to know how to do get into APX mode. The volume + and power is not working for me like the others (did it all conceivable ways).
APX already on
Hi, I solved this problem very easy.
Just connected my eeePad, installed the APX driver after Volume up and Power on Button and it was working. You will see nothing on eeePad screen. Just check the device manager on your computer.
Hi, I think I bricked my pad. Only thing I can access is CWM.
What I did was to install ubuntu tablet version and my tablet started to show black screen but do nothing else.
Then I managed to get into CWM by volume down and power and then volume up.
Now,I installed one of those roms at here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112527
and my tab freezes at the startup screen where it says Eee Pad Asus.
How can I recover from here? volume up+power( for ASX) does not work too!
Tried one of the unbricking methods yet ?

Why do you think APX mode is not working?
Long press power for about 30 seconds to make sure the tablet is off, then try APX mode again, make sure it is plugged into the USB PC when you power it off and when you try APX so you know when it has connected by the USB connect sound
Does adb work? and in another 'help I'm bricked!' thread a few threads down in Q&A I posted a total NvFlash use guide. Try my PERI tool, then Easyflasher, and if neither work then find my other post and follow that.

Hello everyone,
This is my first post here so forgive my errors (if any):
I have tried a few things on my TF700:
1. I have installed the rooting tool from asus website and after activating it,
The first boot scrren said (on top left corner) "the device is unlocked"
When running the app again it would give an error.
2. I tried soft reset - nothing there.
3. I went for hard reset - I accidently went for the left most icon....
After a little investigation on a few pages here I think it is in APX mode..???
It turns on but stays in the first screen with the white ASUS logo on screen & thats it...
Any ideas anyone???
How do I save my precious TF700??
I tried connecting to it through USB installing (Linux):
cat > /etc/udev/rules.d/60-nvflash.rules <<END
# nvflash support for Nvidia Tegra systems attached to USB
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0955", ATTR{idProduct}=="7820", MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev"
END

If you use the Asus unlock tool, you should not brick your device. It looks like that you wipe your system some how. I am guessing here... Can you do some test for me? If you on the Asus screen, just press the power button for about 10 seconds until it shuts down and then keep holding the power button with the volume down at the same time until you are going back to the three icons, thanks. I just want to see if you can get back to your recovery...

Than you for you reply...
I already tried that...it just loops the same shut down to ASUS LOGO screen with no response to the volume down button.
I also let it run out of power so to try & get it out of this loop which resembles an APX loop but in vain...it just keeps on powering up to the same state...
Will give it another go....
There isn't even a pause where I can slip the volume down button in, that is why I let it run out of power to slip the volume down button in...& that is what I am going to do now...let it charge for a short while and power it up with the volume down button (which did not work for several tries...)

I believed that I can not help you any further with this issue because my knowledge is limited in this situation. I hope that somebody else can give you a good advice.. Good luck..
Hold down volume down and keep held down whilst holding the power button down for at least 10 secs. What happens?

I have do this several times (but will try again) and it just powers back up to the same screen...
Did anyone refer you my suggestion of it being in APX mode??
What happens if I put a micro SD Card in the slot??
What is that left most logo on the hard reset screen?
What is that right most logo on the hard reset screen?
I know the center is the android...
HELP!!!
Where are all the experts here??
If an SD Card does function, what do I need to have on it in order to restore the state of my ASUS to functional?
Thanx to all those who are giving my POST some thought...

The device will enter in APX mode only with the Volume UP + Power buttons combo and to get out of that mode you need to hold the Power button for at least 10 seconds.
If you can't get to the bootloader menu (the one with the 3 icons) anymore you are out of luck and only Asus can repair your device. APX it's useful only if you have the NvFlash backup.
Inserting a microSD with an original Asus firmware is also useless if you can't access the bootloader menu because you can't boot in recovery mode.

Make sure you do EXACTLY what sdbags said - he IS the expert.
With the tablet powered OFF, press and hold BOTH the power button and volume down button together, for at least 10 seconds. It should bring you back to the screen with the 3 icons. RCK, android robot icon, wipe. RCK gets you to recovery mode where you can use TWRP for recovery/flash installs, etc. Middle android is the cold boot option which sometimes fixes problems like you're having. Don't do wipe unless someone like sdbags explicitly tells you.
Hope you can fix this.

Well guys...thank you all for your help & time...
I tried everything anyone here suggested but unfortunately ended up with the same result: ASUS white logo screen.
The tablet is still under the first year time period...any suggestions as for how to get it fixed (RMA) without paying tones of money?
What should I say happened???
Guess RCK does not work on my device...(?)
Thank you all...
Did you try the middle android icon to see if that helped? You switch to the middle one by pressing volume down, then select it by pressing volume up.
The device also have a reset button (a tiny hole near the micro hdmi port),use a paperclip to press it and hope for the best.
As for the RMA ,Asus could charge you for repairing because you unlocked the bootloader but some users here on XDA also reported that Asus repaired their device for free even if the bootloader was unlocked.

I'm a little confused, but if I can't get access to fastboot, is it all?
My mom has a completely stock TF300T that one day got stuck on the Asus logo screen with the spinning wheel. I've searched and all the threads deal with rooted devices with custom recovery installed. I can get into the screen with RCK, Android and Wipe Data by holding the vol buttons while holding power but from there I flash the Asus stock firmware but it will install and still get stuck on the Asus screen.
When I plug it into the computer, (win10) it shows under 'unspecified' as 'fastboot' (when in fastboot mode) or as 'Asus Transformer Pad TF300T' but I can't interact with it.
I just want to get into the internal memory and save the pics/videos from the tablet. What can I do?
I had a similar problem with my TF300 way back when. Looking at this thread may help because I was able to pull some of my files at the time using ADB
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253834
Hello,
Someone gave me his TF300T tablet. Someone else tried to upgrade Android version but bricked it (I don't know what happened and how it got there). That someone finally bought a new tablet and gave me the TF300T saying that if I could do something, I could just keep it.
So here I am trying to figure out if I can do something with it.
The tablet is stuck on the boot screen. It seems that the bootloader is unlocked. All I see is "The Device is UnLocked." in the upper-left corner, the Asus logo in the center and the NVidia in the bottom-right corner.
I can't enter fastboot. When powered off, holding the power button + vol- does nothing (nor vol+). It just keeps rebooting all the time.
Holding the power button doesn't power off the device. It just keeps rebooting.
The only way to turn it off is to press the reset button with a needle while holding vol+
I don't know where to start to unbrick the device, if it is possible.
Anyone?

Bad situation! Before you do anything further, please read the two threads in post #1 carefully: https://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/help/bricked-tablet-t3530379. Hope you can make a "buster99" to get on stock rom.
If you still cannot reach fastboot , replacing the mainboard will be the only one possibility.
