[Q] No aPX-mode anymore on my Asus Transformer.

[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.

stuck in cwm, adb wont work

hi guys
I've been searching and trying around some days but I cant get it fixed.
My Transformer TF101 is stuck in a CWM bootloop and cant get anything done.
Cant access my rom anymore, cold boot wont work and my pc wont reconize my tablet anymore.
Adb wont work any way, tried many things.
Maybe anyone got a solution for this?
Greetings,

My suggestions:
1- Try a different PC. Quick solution - use a Live Linux CD/DVD to boot linux and on your current PC and see if that works.
2 - Does APX mode work? If your PC detects it in APX mode (not linux, but Windows) then you can use NVFlash/Wheelie or EasyFlasher to flash a working recovery.
3 - Do you need a new charging cable? It IS possible that your cable still charges but does not work for ADB/APX. I had this happen to me.

It's kinda weird, adb did work 1 time and then the tablet went off because it was out of battery and now I can't get it back anyway..
APX mode is with power + volume down right?
I got the black screen but thats all.. computer(s) will still not see the tablet connected.
USBDeview doesnt even reconize my tablet connecting anymore.. probably my usb cable, what u mentioned.

APX mode is Power & Volume Up, you'll see nothing on the tablet screen, but if you have it connected to USB, the PC should see it when it enters APX

[Q] Completely bricked TF101

So I was doing something on my tablet, and it shut down.
I tried to reboot it and it was stuck.
I thought i had my rom on it (KatKiss) so i did a factory reset and tried to flash it but then i saw i deleted it when i flashed it at first.
So i thought ill just use EasyFlasher and get it back up and running.
Then I tried to get into APX mode and failed.
Volup + Power = Nothing
It just powers on the tablet and it stays there at the Asus logo.
I tried to hold it for 20+ seconds, nothing.
USB is plugged into the tablet, not the dock.
Tried to use sdcard to flash rom on it, cwm cant mount sdcards...
So if anyone could help it would be great

CWM bricked your tablet most likely - you should be running TWRP Recovery for KatKiss ROMs
You need to get the tablet into APX and get EasyFlasher working - APX should still work, nothing appears on the TF screen in APX mode, only way you know it is working is USB connect sound / device connected notification on PC

Keep in mind - APX is a black screen. The only way to know you are in APX is to see if a PC detects an APX device.

I know APX is just a black screen, but even if i try to do it while usb is plugged in it just reboots to Asus logo.

You sure your volume up button is working ok ?
Try removing the plastic bezel around the edge of the tablet and press the actual micro-buttons under the silver ones you normally press

Make sure you have the correct drivers for APX mode. I got mine from x3maniac's Tubuntu - One Click Installer for Windows
From this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995157
In the package, there are the drivers and also a flashing program(NVFlash). You can also use this. Even have a APX mode detected status at the top so you don't have to do the guessing work that it's in APX or not.
P/s: Just to confirm, to go into APX mode 1) Turn on your tablet(not necessary to wait till it boots) 2) Hold the power and volume up button until it shuts down and keep holding the buttons until you see it is detected as APX mode on your computer.

APX mode is from a powered off state:
Hold Volume Up & Power until PC recognises it
Done

unplug and boot apx
I usually boot apx and then plug in the usb shortly after. Also note that occasionally a grounding issue occurs (happens with my bull**** Dell Venue). Run a piece of metal across the usb pins while the tablet is off and try again after ensuring the device is charged.

[Q] Bricked TF101?

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?

Is my ASUS Zenpad S really dead after a failed unlock attempt?

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 .
