Well, what happened is :
that i was trying to root my Transformer tf300t
and i got as far as unlocking the bootloader
so i was having trouble flashing the twrp recovery image
and i think i accidentally erased the stock recovery image
so now my tablet it's not (full bricked) still boots up but doesn't have a recovery image
and now when i boot it into bootloader mode and try to go into RCK it just gives me this
error bootloader unrecoverable 0x0000000 (in red)
how can i flash the stock ROM again if this error ?
anybody ?HELLP

Please try this:
Go to Asus and dl the latest Stock. Unzipp it 2 times. You should have a blob file now in the extracted folder. Put this blob in your fastboot folder.
Open cmd and type:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob
Let it run. It seems that nothing is happening for about 5 Minutes. The whole thing can take up to 20 Minutes, so just stay calm and wait till it’s finished.
Now you should be back to full Stock with Stock recovery. Good luck!
THanks !

Thank you ... it worked i think
but i used a little different command line i used :
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system c:\adb\recovery.blob
now i'm still having problems trying to flash custom recovery i want to root the Tablet
what the problem seems to be for me is that i boot the the tablet (tf330t transformer 4.2.1 JB )
to fastboot mode then i get the 3 choices (RCK, Android,Wipe Data)
but when i try to flash the TWRP recovery img with Fastboot it always gives me an error saying (error cannot load img file)
is there anyway to fix this ? and does this root the tablet?
Dear daveSAPIEN can you give us more information about the file used during the flash , actually am facing the same problem as you but nothing seems to work
thank you

Hi I am running a TD300TG with ICS and setup nvflash as well.
Now I wanted to upgrade to JB but already flashing JB with TWRP gives me a failure after a while.
In ICS the update file is as well recognized as an update, but this will lead me to TWRP as well...
I tried following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1845377
Maybe you already did it successfully?
I am roote, unlocked, nvflashed...

”just wanted to share what worked!
1. Grabbed the Firmware file (_epad....zip) from the Asus site.
2. Unzipped twice to get to the blob file.

-- this failed with an error 0x170003
4. ran: fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery blob
-- ran this even though I would have thought it should have been flash boot. Others have suggested that you just
run this program one or more times to achieve success. The good news is that it worked and after:
5. fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot
I now have a fully functioning device again. I hope this helps others.”
Is there a way to flash to stock using a computer? (similar to Odin for Samsung and RSD for Motorola)
My screen is having issues and cutting out and it is no longer working so I'd like to flash it to stock before I RMA it.
just flash the blob file thats in the stock zip via fastboot
think the right command was
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob
this take a long time, so don´t panic cause you see nothing in the fastboot window. Wait till your pad is rebooting.

First you need to provide more info (i.e. did you tried to flash something before this issue occured?, your device is unlocked?) and maybe we can help you.

I can't read the error from that video but i think you should flash a boot.img via fastboot and then flash CWM or TWRP recovery the same vai (via fastboot). BTW you have to use a boot.img from a JB rom.

Error is 0x000000000
Where i can get boot.img?
Then i extract blob file, i get 5 blob filesblob.
HEADER – Header stuff (ignore it)
blob.APP – system.img
blob.LNX – boot.img
blob.SOS – recovery.img (e.g. regular boot.img)
blob.EBT – bootloader.bin (ignore)
Do i have to rename blob.LNX to boot.img or i should't ?
Do i need to erase all system boot recovery data?
Thanks.

You made the same mistake I made:

APX means you get to use nvflash, right?
I wish I was on the same boat.
Yes i can use nvflash.
but i can't restore my bootloder
maybe you know what to flash?

What do you mean with "Yes i can use nvflash"? You already used the NvFlash tool and have the backup files or is just the fact that you are able to boot in APX mode?
As for the other question, yes rename the blob files ( blob.LNX - > boot.img) and flash from fastboot (fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash boot boot.img). Make sure your battery is full, just in case.
Try to flash the recovery.img, boot.img and system.img using the abive method.

Flashed recovery boot system didn't helped
maybe someone knows how to flash with nvflash?

Being able to boot in APX doesn't mean you can use NvFlash to flash your device.If you never used the NvFlash tool to backup your files (and gain NvFlash access) you won't be able to do it anymore because a 9.4.5.26 or lower bootloader it's needed.
I'm not sure if the follow procedure will work but you could try to flash the complete blob via fastboot (rename the original asus blob to something like " tf700t.blob " , something like this : fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging tf700t.blob
Someone please correct me if the " flashing to staging" procedure is different.

ATM there's no way to do that ,Asus locked the bootloader pretty tight this time.
If you still can't manage to fix your issue i would recommend you an RMA ticket from Asus.
Hi I have been reading a ton in the forums trying to figure out how to fix my tf300t. A few days ago I updated to the newest CM 10.1 nightly and when it restarted it was stuck at the Asus screen. So I have been able to hold vol down button and get to a screen that says
RCK Android [usb symbol] and Wipe Data
I have fastboot access and thought I would try to fix the problem myself by following instructions on another thread
"pyovue - If you have ADB access then unbricking it should be easy as you can push and edit any file on the system with it as well as fastboot? Or can ADB & Fastboot not mount (not just the sdcard) anything? If you don't care what happens to your tablet MB, then try this....
fastboot -i 0x0b05 erase system
fastboot -i 0x0b05 erase recovery
Then reboot (this should rid you of your bootloop to recovery and nothing should start)
Then download the stock ASUS Rom (from ASUS, look under Firmware)
Then try sending it with fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash system blob (you will have to extract two zips from the firmware files until you get to a file called "blob" then put it in your fastboot)
I almost guarantee if you have fastboot/adb working there is ALWAYS a way to fix it... only a hardbrick is impossible to fix.
"
I get cannot load 'blob' so I tried
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img
seeing as I already had the recovery.img from when I first unlocked, rooted, and put cm 10.1 on it
please help I have no idea what to do and thank you in advance <3

What's the question again? If you have fastboot, you can always flash the system blob from your PC. Or you can push the rom (zip) to your internal storage, turn it off and on again. If you select rck on official recovery, it should look for the zip file on its own and proceed to flash it. If you have custom recovery, get to it and flash the same zip file. Make sure you have the right recovery for the rom though. Good luck.

My TF300T will only boot into TWRP. I also can't access any storage (failed to mount error) and adb sideloading fails everytime so I can't flash the stock rom. I tried using these commands:
adb shell mount -t tmpfs none /sdcard
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard
Which let me reach the .zip file it still failed to flash.
The tablet had Jellybean 4.2.2 installed. The TWRP version is 2.6.3.0.
How do I fix this?
Reboot it into bootloader menu. If holding volume down and power buttons doesn't work try 'adb reboot bootloader' command while tablet in twrp. Then flash rom through fastboot.

Now I can get to fastboot, but if I try to flash anything the cmd window says it worked but all it really does is freeze the tablet.

I was able to flash cwm recovery. So now instead of booting into twrm everytime I get stuck on the splash screen. That didn't really change anything
I tried fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash system boot.blob (the .blob file from the stock rom), and I got the blue progress bar then rebooted but I'm still stuck on the first splash screen.
You do it wrong. So if Your last working firmware was 4.2 You need download this rom from asus webpage. Then unzip it twice and You get blob file. Then flash it with 'fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging blob' command.

Thanks. That worked. However now I'm only back where I started. CWM give can't mount error and can't reach a zip file. ADB sideload doesn't work either(failed to write data 'protocol fault (no status)'). I tried TWRP once and that's the reason I had to post hear in the first place.

Did You try only TWRP v2.6.3.0? I use v2.5.0.0 and its work fine. About CWM: flatline cwm for 4.2 bootloader was created with purpose do nvflash backup, so may be here is the cause of not working others functions.
