[Q] Bricked TF700 when trying to install TWRP

Current Status of my TF700:
-Boot looping with Asus "Inspiring Innovation - Persisten Perfection" logo. Approximately 5 seconds between reboots, with a vibrate every time it reboots.
-It says "Device is Unlocked" in the top left.
-Holding power for a long time (over 20s) will shut it off, and vibrate, but then it immediately vibrates again and resumes the bootloop.
-I cannot get it into the bootloader with Power + Vol Down. That combination does nothing.
-If I use the pinhole button, as long as I hold it, the screen remains blank. As soon as I release it again, the bootloop resumes immediately.
-It does not get to the second "shiny" Asus logo.
-It doesn't get far enough to recognize a new firmware file on the microSD card.
How I got to this point:
Stock ever since I bought it up until a few days ago. I decided it was time to root, unlock, install TWRP, and install CWM. I never got that far.
1. I unlocked first. I believe it was successful because it has said "Device is Unlocked" ever since.
2. I tried to root with the debugfs method. It reported it was successful, but despite several attempts, it was unsuccessful.
3. I tried using GooManager to install TWRP. It never worked.
4. I discovered that I wasn't running the latest Asus firmware. I then upgraded it. It ran successfully. (V10.6.1.14.10)
5. I tried rooting with Motochopper. It reported success. But it didn't work. I then discovered it wouldn't work with V10.6.1.14.10.
6. I then tried installing TWRP via fastboot. It reported success, but Power+VolDown didn't get me into TWRP. Nothing seemed to load TWRP. In case it's relevant, I was having trouble where Windows was saying there was a problem with the Bootloader Interface Driver, and after several reboots, I was able to get fastboot to reportedly load TWRP. It reported success, but I never saw TWRP.
7. I booted into Recovery, the latest version that said something to the effect of, "USB recovery loaded" or something, with 3 icons: RCK, Android, and Wipe Data. This is the only recovery I was ever able to see, by the way. I then selected "Wipe Data" hoping it would give me a new starting point.
Once it rebooted, it has been stuck in this bootloop. Have I royally screwed myself, or is there a way to recover?
Please ask any questions, I will answer them to the best of my ability. In the meantime, I will hope to run the power down on the tablet in the hopes it will make a difference.

Power+VolDown activates the bootloader menu - this is the screen with the 3 icons, where you can use fastboot. Since you needed to go there to install TWRP via fastboot, you should have known that Power+VolDown doesn't get you into TWRP - you'd have to press VolUp in the bootloader menu, to activate RCK.

Selecting "Wipe data" from the bootloader menu with a broken recovery is the best known way to brick a TF700. This can only be recovered via nvflash, which you can't use since you never got far enough to extract the required files from your tablet while it still worked. Your only option now is a new mainboard.
Well, crap. RCK never did anything except show a loading bar then reboot.
Thanks for the reply.

Anyone know of a place that sells 64gb mainboards? Not finding anything thus far...

in case anyone cares, I swapped the motherboard out with one from ebay, and it booted right up.

[Q] Asus TF300T reboot loop

Hello,
I'm an Android noob. My uncle asked me to try and fix his Asus TF300T tablet. Not sure what happened but it will boot, when at password screen will lock up and reboot itself. If fast enough, am able to put in password but within a couple seconds will lock up and reboot itself. So it's stuck in a reboot loop. Am able to hold down volume and power to get to screen which has RCK, Android, and data wipe. When selecting RCK I get error. If at all possible, I would like to keep the data as it hasn't been backed up. Have tried a hard reset without any change. Not sure if it is bricked or not. It's not unlocked as far as I can tell and I'm not sure what version the OS is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Completed] [Q] Huawei G510 keeps rebooting and TWRP not working

Hi guys, my sister has this phone and she has the following problem: the phone keeps crashing just after inserting the PIN (it says that the process.gapps or process.swiftkey has stopped working). We don't even have time to reach settings. I went in recovery mode (TWRP 2.8.0.0) and wiped data, system, etc, but after the reboot I noticed that the phone was in the exact same state it was before factory reset! Flashing a new ROM is not working either. I tried to change and downgrade recovery, but nothing. I also tried Original Firmware and Vol+, Vol-, Power, but it says
"update exception
emmc is readonly, you can't update your system"
Any suggestion? ADB does not find it in fastboot mode.
Hi, thank you fur using XDA Assist. There seems there are a number of variants of your phone so I don't know if this will work, but try this,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2452430

[Completed] Gionee p52 Bootloop

I bought my phone about 3 months ago (Gionee p5w) and i had no custom roms installed. Yesterday i saw that there is a system update available. I think i rooted my phone using king root(not sure of version). Update on my phone wouldnt install... so i factory reset without clearing the phone memory thats when problem arised, nothing was reset except the text size setting. So i thought of going into factory mode to reset my phone and started phone with vol up and power key pressed . Factory mode didnt show up and now i am stuck in a bootloop. It shows bootloader logo and restarts again and again. I cant even go to normal mode and start my phone. I remember booting into factory mode when i bought it. Please help me fix it

Hello & welcome to xda-assist,
first of, we don't provide technical support here our job is to direct you through the boards here on xda-developers.
When you root your phone system updates will cause serious problems if you don't unroot before and revert all changes on system partition. So bootloop was expected to happen.
Only cure for that would be to reflash your phone's firmware, to find A) the appropriate firmware for your phone model and B) lern how to flash on your phone I would suggest you to visit this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
and
Do a basic Google search on "your phone model + firmware" and "how to flash stock rom on your phone model"
Good luck

Stuck at cyanogenmod animation

Hello,
I am brand new to this forum and to android problems.... so forgive "silly questions".
I got a used tf300t which was reset back to factory settings.
I installed the dolphin browser and the last thing I did was installing the opera mobile browser.
Since that the cyanogenmod animation pops up right at the boot process and now and then it finishes booting, but when I wipe the screen in order to unlock it the cy-animation appears again.
Yesterday I got an error message that a system process was shutdown with a java null pointer exception for ..... any language process. (did not note the error message unfortuanately).
This brought to my mind that I changed some keyboard setting for the german keyboard layout and this is very likely the cause of the problem.
Now I wanted to reset the device back to it's factory settings, but I cannot boot into the recovery mode. Pressing power- and volume down button just flashes the screen with the asus logo but when I release the buttons, the cyanogenmode animation again appears.
So how can I "hard-reset" the device and btw. is this cyanogenmod thing really necessary?
thanks a bunch in advance and cheers

update: can now boot into TWRP
update#2: I killed it
I used the wipe option (think it was called this way) for a factory reset - and now it is stuck at the asus logo while booting.
Connect to a PC with cable, see if ADB recognizes it.
If it does, issue (in terminal/command line):
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Wait for it reboot.
Verify fastboot connection
Code:
fastboot devices
If it is recognized, you need to re-flash latest stock firmware (blob), that can be found on Asus website. Make sure you get the right (geo)version for your device (ie: US/JP/WR...)
To flash the stock firmware, find the directions on this forum.

sorry for the delayed answer, but thank you soooo much, I will try it out immediately. However befor I got that troubles I connected it to a PC but it did't get recognized.
Well we'll see...
to be continued
I got it, I got it, I got it
the problem was a different one called cyanogenmod.
When resetting the device the cyanogenmod got uninstalled and therefore restarting was not possible.
I found a backup file of the cyanogenmod and reinstalled it ... and it works
thanks a bunch for your help
