Nevermind I fixed it, if anyone else has this problem just install default jb blob from Asus website with fastboot, let it boot into jb once then reboot to twrp and install custom rom

hey luca you are in the bootloader
you need to have fastboot on your pc to connect to the tablet you need to download android sdk, after this you can use cmd with your tablet then go to https://www.asus.com/Tablets/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/HelpDesk_Download/ and download the latest firmware and unzip it to your desktop, now hold shift and click anywhere on your desktop and right click open command window here, now go into bootloader on your tablet while connected to your pc and paste
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
into the cmd and reboot when done

thank you very much that seems to have done the trick as i can see the bar going across the screen on the tablet.
I had all that installed but for some reason couldnt get the file to be pushed.

ahh im glad your problem was sorted out i often make the mistake of not opening the cmd in the right file location which will cause a failure to push file or cause the tablet to freeze, installing the wrong twrp will also make it freeze on this screen

you are right i was on the wrong location with the correct fastboot, last night i tried several fastboot installations the only thing they gave me was a bunch of unwanted programs installed (removed now)
It worked like a charm the tablet is back on.
Thank you.

Unless you can go into fastboot (Power + volume down) there isn't much to do but to sign a petition & wait...

For someone to come up with a solution, Like a NVflash utility for Tf300...
Yeah, but if you want add NVflash support to your tablet, it can't be bricked I'm not quite sure, but you try unpack blob from offical update, and flash all files from unpacked blob (LNX etc.).

The USB icon is gone. I sugguest downloading the correct firmware and flashing it with fastboot.
fastboot flash system blob
Download the correct system firmware, open the zip, open the zip, extract the blob to the same directory as fast boot.

4.2 bootloader does not have USB icon, just plug in USB..
i can get to the bootloader menu but only after typing adb reboot bootloader. and then i tryed flashing the blob using adb fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash system blob and then i get "sending 'system' <799764 KB>..." and it's stuck there.. i left it over 30 mins and still nothing
edit: i somehow managed to flash teh system blob (i tried with te 4.1.1 and the 4.2.2) but after flashing it did the exact same thing.. went to CWM ! i even managed to flash the TWRP.blob, and still the CWM showed up.. i can't figure out how is this even possible :| and from the bootloader menu if i go to boot the android firmware, it almost boots (it goes to the lockscreen for about 2 secs) and then reboots again.. am i wasting my time or should i throw it in the garbage ?
thanks again for trying to help me on this one i really appreciate it !

OK. The bootloader menu you now are seeing is the new 4.2 version. RCK - Android - Wipe Data(do not use wipe data).
When you get into this menu if you leave everything alone your tablet should auto into fastboot - watch the screen - upper left.
With fastboot flash the latest (proper) JB blob for your unit.
Good Luck!

You can't flash anything using adb commands. You need to use fastboot. Look in the forum for the proper procedure and follow the instructions.
Nowhere does it say type "adb fastboot ... anything...."

Here is an example of an adb command that does work to flash twrp with slight modification it will flash stock blob as well.
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 Then reboot to complete installation.
adb reboot
I don't know where you are getting your information but you need a new source.
No one said type adb fastboot they are two different things and each has a specific structure to follow.
If the op can get either fastboot or adb to work I'll gladly provide the proper commands.
then you have the same problem as me and a bunch of other people. The bootloader freezes on the flash command, even though it will show success and stuff. It never flashes.
I can push files with ADB and on reboot the files on gone. Since we can't flash with fastboot. We have to send it in to asus at this point. I got quoted $87 + shipping.
sorry, i meant to say just fastboot. i didn't write adb fastboot.. i've tried everything you guys said, but with no success my last resort is to send it to asus for re-softing. It costs about $80 + shipping. It doesn't sound like a lot of money, but it's a price to pay for stupidness or noobness i just hope they can repair it or otherwise i'll have a very expensive thing on whch to chop onions
thanks again guys for helping me

[Q] oneplus one stuck at boot menu and ADB sideload refusing

hello everybody,
so my phones speakers stopped working and I couldn't fix them so I went to twrp recovery and executed a factory reset. This resulted in the device hanging at the boot screen. I then spent half an hour trying to get the drivers working and when it finally saw the phone and I wanted to sideload the 33R zip it just gave me this long list with possible command (see screenshot attached).
in fastboot it's not seeing the phone for some reason
I have access to the following:
TWRP Recovery
Fastboot
Any idea on how to get my phone working again?

First on your PC try typing adb devices it should return the device serial number in the command prompt.
If it does then in TWRP click advanced, ADB Sideload, then swipe the blue arrow.
Then on your PC command prompt type adb sideload "ROM/File Name.zip" without the quotes.
It should load from there.

Try uninstalling the ones you have and installing this one.

Good luck man, I've got to get back to work.
I know the adb push "ROM/File.zip" /sdcard works because I tested on my phone prior to posting.
One last thought is your SDK might need to be updated as well.

Currently trying it on my laptop which has a fresh reinstall, removing the drivers completely will take too long.
Your driver saw it as a google galaxy nexus adb Interface, when I used adb devices it didn't see it.
EDIT: when I go to reboot it says that there is no os installed so yea...
Another Edit: I will try this driver when I get home and report back. OnePlus adb drivers windows
I managed to fix it using the oneplus one toolkit by manudroid

NEXUS 5 stuck at Google logo

Hi Guys,
After some cleanup in CMW i accidently format EVERYTHING. (formatted all single option in CMW, afterall a bad idea) So now i'm stuck at the google logo.
Now i have the 4.4.4 KTU.zip on my computer. Can i flash this via ADB sideload (as a renamed ''update.zip''? Or can i just copy the .zip file to my Nexus from a computer?
I'm @ work so i;m stuck guessing what i must do to get this thing work!
Thanks in advance guys
i dont know what it is, but if its a rom, sideload then flash away. your phine is empty right now, no rom or anything. you need to put something into your phone(sideload) then flash it.
Yes, the whole zip file is the stock ROM in a zip file.
Luckely i can't login as administrator here or else i could get my device working here
Thanks!
Why not just start the bootloader (fastboot mode) and execute the flash-all.bat? It'a the 'official' way to completely restore your phone. I've done it several times and it always worked great

[Q] halfbrick? adb doesn't work but Fastboot does

Hi guys,
I wiped everything by mistake in TWRP 2.8.4.0 and now I'm puzzled... I did a FULL (yeah....) wipe before flashing a custom ROM, but then, everything was gone, of course.
I still have access to TWRP ; the bootloader is unlocked ; was on JB 4.2 .
So I tried to put a Rom back into the memory of the Tab, but :
1/ TWRP won't mount my SD card with a ROM on it... Does anyone have an idea why?
2/ adb doesn't recognize the device... but "fastboot devices" does! So I have access to all the fastboot commands.. Sadly, it doesn't flash any .zip.
So I'm guessing I have to solve the SD card problem OR flash a system.img with flashboot...?
I don't know what to do. I read that an older version of TWRP might mount my SDcard, but I'm quite scared to try and flash another recovery, since I'm not sure it will not definitely brick the thing.
Thanks for any answer

But the drivers are already installed, that's why I don't get why adb doesn't work.
as for the MTP, I can't get to it, since there is no ROM installed on the tab anymore : when I switch it on, it stays stuck on the ASUS logo, but is not detected by the computer.
Do you know where I could get an image of a stock firmware to flash with fastboot? or another way to push a file?

But you should still have adb working, it is a must have when messing with android ...

Hi dandystrion,
Sorry i cant give an answer, but MTP should be activated per default at twrp and you should have your device as a drive on PC.
I'm intessted on how did you flash twrp on an unlocked bootloader? I fighting with my tf700 since October to unlock my bootloader to install CyanogenMod. I did a lots of tickets and RMA, which didn't helps.
Can you give me a link or a short explanation how I can flash twrp?
Thanks

I unlocked the bootloader with the Transformer Toolkit v3.2.0 (I can't post a link since I'm a new member, but google it up, you'll find easily) and flashed TWRP 2.8.4 with fastboot without any problem. Hope it will work out for you.

Well the PC does not see the tablet. I'm quite sure of my drivers since adb worked fine until I messed up (the drivers were installed through the latest version of Asus Pad Pc Suite)... I tried a adb sideload too : no connection.
I'll be glad to get some help.
Tried a thrid, empty brand new sdcard, and it did the trick.
Still don't know why adb wouldn't work, but now it's fine, so... :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for the help
I have checked it. But it is based on the Asus Unlock Tool, which doesn't work for me in the past!
Thanks

Bootloop when starting android or RCK

I tried to flash a custom rom (KatKiss), and it seems that I did something wrong along the way because the tablet is stuck in a bootloop.
So I rebooted my tablet and access the bootloader ("fastboot devices" recognize my device) and try to go to the recovery (with the TWRP splash screen, "adb devices" recognize my device). Unfortunately after 20 seconds on the splash screen, the tablet reboots (tries to load my katkiss android but bootloop everytime).
Bootloader : 10.6.1.14.10
TWRP : 3.1.1.0
Since the fastboot recognize my device while in bootloader, I think that I should try to flash twrp since it seems to be corrupted somehow.
Every time I flashed a rom nothing went wrong but now that I have a problem I don't want to worsen it and would like some help on the issue.
Did you flash the rom in your current TWRP?
Something is off... Did you possibly flash the TF201 rom version??
Whatever you do - do not use Wipe Data from the bootloader!!
Reflash TWRP, format data, then reflash the rom
And report in more detail what you did
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
Thank you for the fast reply!
I did flash the rom with my current TWRP and only downloaded the rom version for the TF700. Below is what I tried from your suggestion:
I check that my device is recognized:
fastboot device
So I tried flashing TWRP:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0-tf700t
After it succeeded, I reboot the tablet:
fastboot reboot
And as a result... nothing changes, I don't know if I should try with older version of TWRP. Seems like I only have access to the tablet with the fastboot.
That is very strange indeed. Yes, try a 3.0.2 version of TWRP and see if that works.
If not, I would flash the Asus stock blob in fastboot and start from scratch....

Not sure if this will help but I had a reboot problem with trying to load into TWRP. I posted my solution into a different thread but will toss it out here..
I just had this problem with a Transformer 201Prime. The cycle went something like this..
Power on.... get ASUS logo in middle, Tegra3 logo on lower right, and bootloader unlocked in upper left....
then a buzz... then reboot.....
So I would try the power button and hold the volume down... that got me into the bootloader but when I hit the volume up button it would give me the TWRP logo... then buzz and reboot...
After much monkeying around... I realized I would have to re install everything. Fortunately I had the original NVFLASH bloob files backed up so I was able to get into the NVFLASH commands.
Here is a great tutorial, it is for the 201 so be sure to download the correct files but the steps are basically the same.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tra...prime-t3486237
The other problems is I had to download a bloob tool to 'unpack' the necessary .bin and .ebt files that are mentioned in the commands... I used the following link to download the tool.
https://github.com/AndroidRoot/BlobTools
I hope this helps shake loose a few answers.
Once I was able to get a working recovery I could flash an updated ROM. (KatKiss is my current favorite)
I tried to flash version 3.0.2 of TWRP and the problem is still the same.
@Unidave199 the link you put in your post points to a post that doesn't seems to exist anymore, has it been moved?
@berndblb how do I do for flashing a rom with the fastboot? any stock rom to recommend?

Unidave's link would only help you if you generated your device specific nvflash blobs when the tablet was still functioning. Did you:
flash a specifically modded recovery - flash the moddded bootloader, use wheelie to generate and save your blobs, return everything to factory specs?
I highly doubt it since you would have mentioned...
To flash the stock blob in fastboot you download the Asus firmware from here: https://www.asus.com/my/support/Download/28/1/0/11/29/8/
Extract the zip twice until you see a blob and a meta-inf file.
Move the blob into your fastboot folder, discard the rest of the file
Issue these commands one by one, letting each one finish before starting the next. Some will finish quick, others may take up to 3 minutes:
Code:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase misc
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash system blob
fastboot reboot
The first boot will take a while, but that should put you back on a stock JB 4.2 system.
Trash all the files you used in your last attempt and redownload the rom, gapps and supersu
Fastboot flash TWRP
Reboot
Format /data in TWRP (this will take up to 1 hour - let it finish!!), then convert /data to f2fs
Flash the rom, gapps, supersu
If you flash Nougatella remember that you have to turn on wifi right after the language selection during setup or Google framework will crash.
Spend the end of the day doing it, but it worked flawlessly! Thanks a lot @berndblb, now I can use my tablet again!

I tried to flash version 3.0.2 of TWRP and the problem is still the same.
@Unidave199 the link you put in your post points to a post that doesn't seems to exist anymore, has it been moved?
@berndblb how do I do for flashing a rom with the fastboot? any stock rom to recommend?

My apologies for the problem with my link, looks like you resolved it, but wanted to post a correct working link to take someone else into the full conversation and context...

To flash the stock blob in fastboot you download the Asus firmware from here: https://www.asus.com/support/Download/28/1/0/11/fq2B3oq64av1O95/8/

Broken link ? that post isn't very old, either. ??
berndblb said:
Did you flash the rom in your current TWRP?
Something is off... Did you possibly flash the TF201 rom version??
Whatever you do - do not use Wipe Data from the bootloader!!
Reflash TWRP, format data, then reflash the rom
And report in more detail what you did

You'll need to refer to post #8. However, the link to the tf700 stock blob is broken. You'll have to search Google for one. They're out there, but it does require digging .Make sure the one you get is for the proper SKU of your tablet (US, Worldwide, JP, etc.). I completed the process myself maybe a month ago. Good luck!

I got the stock blob ww version.
Just tab doesn't stay on fastboot mode keeps rebooting.
Don't know how to do it.
Is it possible to get stable fastboot screen some how? Or just flash the bootloader to get fastboot working.
May be this noob question but I don't know how to do.
Thanks

There is one more piece to the puzzle- hold short while I dig it up.
Here it is: http://www.transformerforums.com/forum/transformer-pad-infinity-tf700-tegra-3-development/46302-guide-help-my-transformer-tf700-boots-only-recovery.html
Do be *very* careful. Read thrice, do it once. Especially if you're feeling noob-y.

Thanks for this information.
One more question,
My tab is keep bootlooping neither it stays on twrp nor bootloader.
It has blue screen of recovery that is twrp after 5 to 10 seconds it boots again.
Is this enough time to execute the commands while it is on blue screen?
Thanks

Well, that depends on several things. What I did was write a short little DOS batch file to process all the fastboot commands. So, with your batch file ready, open your command prompt (change directory to your adb/fastboot directory if it's not set in system's 'path=' environment variable) and have the batch command typed in, ready to hit enter. Tether to pc via USB, proceed to boot to adb. The second you hear windows make the USB notification sound, slap that enter key. It should just process and reset the tab and get you out of TWRP bootloop. Which is just step one.
If you aren't familiar with writing bat files for DOS, let me know.

You mean a batch file with the adb commands right? Once he can boot into fastboot he has all the time in the world to run the commands for the buster99 (description in post #8). Depending on what situation he came from before, it might be a good idea to start all fresh...
The tricky thing are the adb push bootit.ko and the insmod command. Those have to be timed just right to get executed, so a batch file might come in handy. Both commands only take a second or two to execute, so your window of 5 seconds could work. Maybe not in the same session, but they should work.
If the insmod command does not kick the tablet into the bootloader, there are 2 possible reasoons:
adb push bootit.ko did not work
the insmod command did not work
To find out if the file push worked you could add a simple list command for the contents of /sdcard/. Again - tricky, I know since you still are working with the 5 sec window, but that's what you got to work with...
That would look something like in the attached picture. So after pushing bootit.ko you issue:
Code:
adb shell ls /sdcard/
Try it with the batch file, try it with single commands... Don't give up. As long as you have any kind of adb access you should be able to solve it.
Good luck!

Again, mistake in my terminology. What I meant to say is, batch commands for the process involving the Bootit.ko- the adb portion.
Thanks for clearing that up.
@ketulharini
Anyhow, I was unable to get the process to take without having automated *every last step* of the process. Literally open the cmd window, have the command for your batch file typed in ready to go, and plug in. Hear the noise from windows and slap enter asap. That's the only way I could get it in time, and I'm a ridiculously fast typist.
