Come across a strange problem on my TF300. The battery completely drained one night and thereafter it's become unresponsive. It charges, boots to the lock screen, but the battery is shown at 0% and I'm unable to interact with anything other than using the hardware keys. It freezes when attempting a cold boot or attempting to go to recovery. Had TWRP 2.8 on Katkiss 4.4, anyone got any ideas?
Just to update this, the dock just doesn't work with the tablet currently.. Despite being on charge for a number of hours there's been no progress. Both charging lights do go green eventually though, but still on 0%. It connects to my PC, and I can even view the files on it, but the tablet itself is unusable. Device manager shows it but I couldn't get it to appear in Adb for fastboot commands
Anyone know how to get it to show in Adb?
Bump on this since I'm out of ideas and would appreciate any help
Fixed this now, thanks to those who had a look. Somewhat simple solution, connected a mouse via USB, which allowed me to navigate the tablet. After that it was just a simple selection of rebooting to recovery from the power menu, which got me into TWRP and let me do a wipe and flash a new ROM.

I'm running Prime 1.7 I never had any problems with my tablet. It has the creaking and light bleed. I was watching netflix the other day and watched all the way till the battery went completely dead 0%. I got home plugged it in and it charged up all the way but now the screen wont turn on. If i connect it to the mini hdmi i can see everything on the tv but screen still wont turn on.
I've tried:
Fixing Permissions
Clearing Cache
Undoing overclock
Removing SD
Turning it all the way off waiting then turning it back on.
Adjusted the Brightness
Changed Wifi.
I cant factory reset or anything in CWM because it doesn't show up on the tv through hdmi and i cant remember the each button pushes to do it blind.
Any Ideas?
Mine went blank once but that was the adw launcher. Rotating it fixed it and i was able to choose stock launcher. If nothing works you can try screencast to see the recovery on PC if you have Android sdk setup.
Did you try to hold down the Powerbutton till it switches off to make a correct Restart?
When the Tab is running hold the Powerbutton till it's off and wait till it starts again.
Normaly that helps with SOD.

You should press the power button 10 to 15 seconds...
So far nothing worked. I'm on stock launcher also.
I've tried to resetting it over and over still nothing.
I attempted to letting the battery die completely again.
Placed it on the dock and nothing.
Thank you for the suggestions. I will update if i ever solve the issue. I'm going to try screencast, but i never used it before.
I got screencast to open up and running. however it wont work in recovery. ADB recognizes it. I keep getting a blank screen. Any ideas?
I'm thinking the best option would be to nvflash it to stock and RMA it if it doesn't work.
NV Flash
Hi
if nothing else seems to work then NV Flash might be the best idea.
Could you share the BXX(First 3 digits of serial number)?
Thanks
Hi All,
I had ICS installed on my TF101. However yesterday it totally discharged when it was asleep and I had trouble turning it on. I never had this happen with HC. So I decided to go back to HC. I had my tablet rooted and su backed up. Had recovery installed.
I flashed official US HC fw and everything went fine until I tried to reboot the tablet. It's now stuck at the EEE Pad loading logo with the blue bar approximately half filled in. No amount of button combinations does anything. I can't enter Vol + & Pow button to enter ADB, and when I try to enter recovery mode, the white text shows up saying searching for OTA recovery and that's it, still gets stuck at the blue bar.
Any ideas or ways to get to my recovery before I return my 2nd tf101? Thanks!!
(Btw, I'm not a newbie, I would NEVER do this whole thing if ICS was stable and worked like it's supposed to, but I refuse to own a 390$ half working tablet that crashes, has battery drain issue and gfx glitches after the FORCED ICS update!)
Have you tried cold-booting it? (power + vol-, wait untill you get the option to cold boot or wipe)
Also, I dont understand what you mean by "forced ics update". I ran my TF for several days without updating (albeit, with the annoying icon in the notification area).
Although I guess you bought the tablet new and recently Im still going to ask. Whats your serial number (3 first)?

Hi Goatshocker!
I have tried to cold boot it, but it does not allow me to get to the 2 icons you're talking about. When I hold down Vol - & Pow, it shows the regular white letters from bootloader, and gets stuck at the blue loading bar EEE Pad screen.
What I meant by force, is that after 4 delays of the update, ICS will install itself automatically! Even when the tablet is in sleep mode. That's what mine did.
In order to avoid this, the user would have to root his tablet and use Titanium Backup Pro, and disable certain system update processes. Which is NOT for the casual user or for anyone who wants to keep warranty intact.
The s/n I have starts with C2O.
Hi All,
Saw a few posts with similar things such as random reboots and bootloader issues, however my issue seems a little different. I already know the first few things I'm going to try but would just like a little bit of input.
The tf700 isn't my first transformer tablet, I had a prime back during release and replaced it with the 700 after my friend broke the screen. I have plenty of experience with flashing the devices and putting on custom roms etc. My infinity has been on JB since the OTA update came (infinity is 100% stock). I use the device every day extensively and it is in the keyboard dock about 99% of the time.
Today while checking my email the device randomly froze, went to a black screen, and then started up at the first asus logo (has happened before so I was not that surprised). After getting to the second splash screen with the silver asus logo I let it sit for about 15 minutes where I continued to get the loading animation. I decided to restart and go into the bootloader menu and thats where I noticed some issues.
Once in the bootloader it seems that Volume UP (to change between RCK, Data wipe etc..) is always recognized as Volume DOWN, meaning I cannot switch between any of the bootloader tasksJust realized they changed the input even though the bootloader text still has ICS commands listed. That leaves me the option of waiting 10 seconds for a cold-boot or starting the RCK. Unfortunately either task I decide to do freezes the screen on the bootloader. I know that the device is responding at first because of the highlight over RCK fading in and out, and then it freezes. Prior to the freeze the prompt always reads Signature Match when trying to cold-boot or start the RCK. Restarting the device again leaves me stuck on the first splash screen, and never progressing after that. I am somewhat concerned about possible corruption from this.
Currently I am letting the power drain all the way down while in the dock and will try charging it to see if that brings it out of this brickish state. In addition I also have a micro-sd in the device, as well as an SD card in the dock.
Other than power draining I would really appreciate some advice, because of freezing in the bootloader I am unsure whether I would be able to perform any sort of modification to overwrite whatever has been corrupted.
Thanks in advance,
Jon

Seems like you only have RCK option on your device. I would download the full JB .16 version from the Asus site, unzip it and rename the new unzip file to EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip on your PC, plug in your micro SD card (make sure no other zip file(s) on the root of your micro SDcard), then copy this file to the root of your micro SD card, remove the micro sDcard and plug it back to your tf700, Hold down volume down and power button and let it boot to the RCK (by default) see if the device perform the update.

Thanks buho,
Full power drain and repower didnt seem to fix it.
I gave it a shot with the update and I still got the message saying that the signature matched and then freezing at the bootloader trying to use the update. As I edited in my post I found that the bootloader commands had been swapped, so I can get to the other options to work. However all of them freeze the bootloader, I cant get any kind of USB recognition at all.
Unfortunately things may have gotten even worse...
I figured since I just need the device to work I would do a full wipe, I started the data wipe, got the freeze after a bit of text. I left the device for about 20 minutes hoping it would go through with the wipe. It was still frozen on the bootloader so I reset the device again... After resetting I cant even get into the bootloader anymore, power button + volume down does nothing.
So currently Im stuck on the first splash screen, unable to access the bootloader. I would appreciate any help at all.
Just to update, I can get APX mode to function right now, but I am not really sure where I can go from there...
Yesterday, after installing the 2.2 update (maybe related?) I plugged it in to charge and couldn't get it to wake up after charging for some time. When it eventually did come up, it came up to the boot loader screen (small text with a list of options) choosing Continue or Recovery from the list gives me small text that disappears quickly that reads "boot failed" (along with other things I couldn't read).
Fastboot seems to be working, but any command to reflash partitions is met by a notice that it failed because my boot loader is locked, and if I try to fastboot OEM unlock, it prompts me on the tablet, I choose yes, and it promptly fails (fastboot returns unknown error). Perhaps the emmc is toast or is it still recoverable via APX or something like that? I couldn't find anyone who had used APX on the shield tablet.
This morning the battery appears to be dead (I let it discharge overnight, hoping that doing so would clear some state and get things working again) and when I plug it in to charge the display does power on (backlight lit with black screen) but I don't see the charging animation come up.
I spent hours searching into the night last night and couldn't find someone who couldn't even unlock the tablet. I'd really like to fix it myself and not have to RMA because I wanted to use the tablet to play Ingress at an event this weekend. It's the LTE model and I bought it for playing Ingress.
Any ideas for how to bring this tablet back?
I have to Asus tf700 that will not boot they were only vibrate when you push the on button. One is rooted with zombie and the other is stock I get a display on the rooted tablet on the monitor I have connected through HDMI and I am able to navigate on the tablet with the keypad attached. The other one stock unit I am NOT able to get a display on my monitor I have truck I have tried holding the on button and depressing the up and down volume keys no joy. I have tried pushing the manual reset button in the little hole on the side of the tablet. No joy. Is there anyone that can help me thank you in advance for your help.
I'd like to add that both tablets had their batteries drained and his condition appeared after I attempted to recharge them and start them up. Thanks again
Both of them started t do this at the same time???? Did you have power surge when you were charging them? Thunderstorms?
Very strange...
Anyway, if the rooted tablet boots normally and only the display is dead, it's exactly that: the backlight is out and you need a new screen.
The stock unit: Not much yoou can do with a locked bootloader. Can you get it into the bootloader menu with Power +Vol Down?
If not, there's not much more you can do. But you can cannibalize the sceen andput it into the rooted unit!

Restarts as soon as it enters recovery
Hi, my tablet froze last night and could not get out of the frozen screen, so I forced a restart , only to have it boot loop.If I try to go to recovery it just gets to the Twrp image and restarts again.
any help is appreciated.Unit cannot shut down and gets hot at the top left hand corner.Tried to hard reset using the side reset but to no avail.
Thanks.
This is happening a lot lately.... What rom and TWRP version are you running?
Check out the last few pages of the Katkiss Katshmallow thread. That's where we successfully solved this lately.
But I would really like to find out what's causing this. Can you try to access the tab in adb while it's looping in recovery?
Try to pull the recovery log and dmesg log.

Thanks after a lot of attempts manage to get the thing going but could not get to get a log as it was restarting after a second or two in twrp screen but managed to push asus stock and unit is ok. Will root again and use a custom as it surely runs much better.
Thank you for your attention.

Hey, I'm experiencing the same issue right now.
In my search I found this:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/as...216663-tf700t-now-won-t-turn-post2270270.html
I plugged it into my pc and after a short period, pressing the power button showed a battery icon in the red zone. so I'm going to leave it plugged in overnight.
