Hey all, need a hand. My Shield TV seems to be bricked. When I turned it on last night there was a red and green ball animation playing and the console wouldn't respond to any input from the controller or my Harmony remote. I should clarify a bit, the animation was actually frozen. Anyway, I unplugged the console for a while and now it won't do anything. There's no video output from the console. I've tried 3 different TV's and 3 different HDMI cables. I was going to try and reflash it back to factory, but I can't get the laptop to recognize the console. It finds my android phone just fine and ADB works great on it. The green light comes on when I plug it in and the power button seems to at least turn the light on and off. It does show up in the device manager on the laptop when its on, but as an unknown device type called APX. I downloaded the drivers from NVidia which then shows it as Android ADB Interface, but ADB still won't see it. I've also tried plugging it, waiting 2 seconds then holding down the power button for 5 to get it into Fastboot mode, but all it does it turn the console off. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
connect the console to your pc. unplug the dc. > plug the dc > touch power for ~3 sec.
after that download factory image from nvidia website. and flash it on shield console.

flashed wrong rom on Nvidia Shield 2015 16GB -- stuck in APX mode -- unable to access fastboot.
Please help?

the volume rocker broke when the tablet fell. therefore i cant press power and volume down to reboot. its a black screen and its frozen. i hold power for 10 seconds i hear a vibration but nothing happens. same thing if i do it again. when i connect it to computer i hear the usb connected noise as if the tablet were on. what can i do??? please help!!!
Try the reset hole above the HDMI port on the side of the tablet. Hold power and use a paper clip or something for the tiny hole.
But if the inability to boot the tablet also results from the fall, I don't have much hope for your tablet - sorry.
If you have a USB connection, you can also try to access it over ADB (would only work if you had "enable USB debugging" checked in Developer options) or - if you can get into the bootloader - in fastboot.
But what's your situation: Stock? Custom rom/recovery? Root?
Also try to connect the tablet via HDMI cable to your TV. Maybe the digitizer is broken.

no the fall has nothing to do with the tablet not booting. what happened was I gave it an adb command to reboot bootloader and it has gone into apx mode i believe. i tried the reset button but nothing. any specific way i should press reset?
So i made the mistake of trying to install CM 10.1 on my ainol hero 2 and now all that happens at boot where is says Ainol Hero 2 quad core in orange letters and then the screen goes black(not turning off you can see the screen backlight is still lit). Now i can get to recovery menu by holding power and volume down but windows does not see the device or even recognizing the device being plugged in. Therefore I can not flash a good rom back on it as I have factory 4.2.2 waiting for it. I was going to sideload but it does not see the device or even recognize that it is plugged in.
I have turned the device off and connected to the computer while holding volume + and my computer made the sound that something is connected but the tablet just goes to the same black(but lit) screen. I can not find the device anywhere on my computer and I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling generic usb drivers but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone know how to fix this error so I can actually boot into my tablet ha ha?

bump seriously no one knows but all those views?
So, I am in new territory here. My tf300t suddenly stopped working. I had previous unlocked the tablet (years back) but never installed a custom rom. It was working fine for a few years and I factory wiped along the way a couple times. So a couple months ago I did a factory reset again and it seemed fine for a few weeks. Yesterday I picked it up and I can't get it to turn on. Here are the symptoms:
It will charge and shows a green LED
Can only get a Black screen and will not boot, no ASUS screen or anything
I tried holding power for 30 seconds
I tried holding power and volume down for 30 seconds
I tried the tiny reset hole with a paper clip and the same with power button
When I connect to my computer with a USB it shows up as APX on Windows 10
Is it just dead now? Bricked? Thanks for any insight! Seems strange but maybe it decided to die.

I have no idea what happened to your tablet. If I were in your boots, I would install "Minimal ADB & Fastboot" from here: http://freeandroidroot.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-all-versions/. Then please check whether the USB driver are installed or not. If not get them here: https://androidmtk.com/download-asus-usb-drivers.
Connect your tablet via USB with your PC. The devise manager should show "Android Phone" => ASUS Composite ADB Interface and "Portable Devices" => TF300
After that seen you have access via ADB to your tablet. Then please flash the latest Asus firmware update to get your tablet on a clean stock rom. For assistance please search the forum. Good luck!
Hello
Yesterday while i was watching ads in some freemium game tablet just turned off. I plug it to original charger and tried to turn on, but screen do not light up. Then I tried to press Power Button with Volume Up or Volume Down for from couple to 30 seconds but without any luck. When i connected tablet to PC, it shows as "APX" and system can not find drivers for it. When it is connected to PC via USB cable and when i press Power Button and Volume Up or Volume Down for 10 seconds light change from orange to green and tablet dissappear from device list in windows device manager and when i do it again it comes back as APX (doesn't matter which combination) so it looks like i can not get into fastboot mode.
What happend? What can i do to bring it back to life which was stopped for no apparent reason?
Tablet was flashed and after updated couple of months ago to newest OTA via ADB and it is with B01 battery.
My PC is on Windows 7.
Hi
I had this tablet for about two years, ran amazon Fire toolbox on it and everything was fine.
Couple of days ago it turned off, I think the battery level was around 15%. I was not able to turn it back on.
I decided to charge it overnight. Next morning I tried to turn it on but it stuck on Amazon logo.
I tried to do Power + Volume and was able to see the menu, attempted to do restart, then factory reset - and had this bunch of errors. Then I did the power down from the menu, and after that it doesn't turn on even to recovery any more, the screen is black, no logo, no backlight.
When I connect it to computer (the same I ran amazon fire toolbox on) there is an unknown device, but that's it, adb and fastboot don't see any devices.
Update: another windows machine recognized it as a Mediatek USB port and was able to install drivers.
When connected, it appears to be in a loop - Mediatek USB port device appears and in several seconds dissappears, in cycle.
Any help will be highly appreciated!
Thank you!

Your eMMC probably died (notice the input-output errors), try to use amonet. If the script reports "read error" then nothing can be done.
