Hi guys,
I've been running Paranoid Android 3 for the last few weeks without issue. Tablet was working fine last night, went to bed with it plugged in. Get up this morning to find that it won't come on. Holding power by itself the screen will come on, but it sits at the PA boot screen perpetually. It's been drawing that multi-colored splash screen for the past 20 minutes.
If I hold Vol Down + Power the tablet vibrates, but the screen never comes on, so I can't even get into recovery it seems.
No changes have been made to it in weeks. Anyone have suggestions?
Update: Plugged into a PC Volume Down + Power still does nothing, but Volume Up + Power gets me to the RCK menu where I can choose Cold Boot Linux, USB, or Wipe Data. Cold Boot Linux does nothing but sit at the splash screen as it has been. Should I try a data wipe?
Also, choosing the USB symbol appears to get me into Fastboot. Device Manager is showing it as Asus Android Bootloader Interface.

Have you not tried to access the RCK which will be your recovery?

What steps would I take to try that? I'm able to get Windows to detect the device as Bootloader as mentioned in the edit of my original post. Sorry if that's a stupid question, but this tablet is much different than anything I've done to root/unlock any of the phones I've had.

You said you were able to access the icons in the bootloader. Try selecting rck.

Okay when I hold Volume Up and Power I get "Checking for RCK, press Volume Up to enter RCK. At that point if I press Volume Up I get three icons: Wipe Data, Fastboot USB, and Cold Boot Linux.
Cold Boot Linux just keeps trying to load Paranoid Android. Fastboot USB gives me an Asus Android Bootloader Interface device in Windows Device Manager.
What should I do from here?
Appreciate it, by the way.

That is strange, strange, it sounds to me you dont got a recovery installed. Are you unable to get into the boot loader holding the volume down and power button, meaning if you hold it as the ASUS logo is, its the volume key pointing towards the power button?

I was able to flash a new copy of Clockwork through Fastboot then cleared cache/dalvik, reflashed the same ROM zip and it's booting again. Phew!
It's like recovery just stopped working. I had Clockwork 6.0.1.4 before and flashed the same thing this time. Really strange.
Thanks again for the responses.

It is suggested to use TWRP on the TF700, CWM seems to have some issues with this tablet

I've had my eee Pad Transformer TF101 for a few years now. I've had it rooted for most of the time, I've installed several roms before. But a few months ago I hard bricked (Pretty sure it's a hard brick) my tablet installing a new rom.
It will turn on, but it well stay on the ASUS logo for 5 minutes then turn off and start back at the ASUS logo until it turns off again. I use the power and down key to somewhat access recovery. I attempt to access recovery but all I get is a screen with an android on it's back with the red explanation point signal. The blue bar under the android acts like it loading, but I never get past this screen, and after a few minutes it will reboot to the ASUS logo again.
Also when I plug my tablet into my computer it will recognize that something is plugged in but is unable to install the driver. I've attempted to install other drivers but my computer wont allow me to, it keeps telling me the driver I have installed is the best driver, even though its not working.
I've looked all over xda, and I've tried easyflasher and peri. but I'm unable to connect to my computer successfully in order to get either to work.
Does anyone have any advice?
You need to get the Universal Naked Drivers installed
If you are running 64bit Windows, disable driver signing from safemode options - or use Win 7 32bit
Win 8.x needs driver signing disabled for both flavours
--
You need to stick the TF into APX mode (Power off then Vol up & power till the PC recognises it and tries to install the drivers) then install the above drivers and try Easyflasher again
I got the Universal Drivers working a few hours ago. I was able to boot into APX and have my transformer recognized by my computer. I ran Easyflasher several times trying to flash a recovery and using the stock/unbrick option, but it hadn't ran all the way through or told me on the tablet that it was successful until a few minutes ago. I tried again a few minutes ago and Easyflasher went all the way through and the tablet stated on screen that it was successful, excpet now I can't boot at all or even attempt to pull up recovery, it now doesn't boot into anything but APX.
Did you use the correct SBK on Easyflasher?
B6O serials and earlier are SBK1, some B7Os too, the rest above are SBK2
Wont do any harm using the wrong one, it just wont work
And to get out of APX mode, hold power for 30 seconds~, then power on normally
--
Did you try flashing it back to stock using the stock firmware instructions on the Easyflasher page ?
If you only flashed TWRP recovery, you will need to power on normally (not recovery) at least once and hopefully see the blue update progress bar under the ASUS logo for a few seconds while it updates RCK - then you should be able to power off and press VOL DOWN & POWER till you see the white text at the top of the TF screen - then release all buttons and within 5 seconds, hit POWER UP once to enter recovery
My mom has a completely stock TF300T that one day got stuck on the Asus logo screen with the spinning wheel. I've searched and all the threads deal with rooted devices with custom recovery installed. I can get into the screen with RCK, Android and Wipe Data by holding the vol buttons while holding power but from there I flash the Asus stock firmware but it will install and still get stuck on the Asus screen.
When I plug it into the computer, (win10) it shows under 'unspecified' as 'fastboot' (when in fastboot mode) or as 'Asus Transformer Pad TF300T' but I can't interact with it.
I just want to get into the internal memory and save the pics/videos from the tablet. What can I do?
I had a similar problem with my TF300 way back when. Looking at this thread may help because I was able to pull some of my files at the time using ADB
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253834
I was smart enough to brick my TF700t.
The only thing I can get now is to the boot screen with the Asus logo and the device is unlock message.
I cant get into RCK mode with the volume down and power combination, My PC doesn't pick the TF700t with neither fastboot or ADB.
Any ideas how to proceed?
Try to see if you can get in by hitting the POWER and volume up...
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 .
