[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Renesys:
Thank you! Do youi think that may be possible revive it in some way or I have to resign?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mrevankyle:
you can try putting the stock rom on your micro sd and then cold booting
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Renesys:
Hi, I've tryed to put the stock rom's image (file zip) in to the sd but nothing. When i chose to boot "android", "cold booting linux" appears but nothing happens.

I've also extract the whole content of the zip file in to the sd, but the result is the same....
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] luna_c666:
You do not extract the entire contents, you need the files in a zip container named EP101_SDUPDATE.zip, place into your sd card, boot while holding power and volume down, as soon as screen comes on release power but not volume, then when white letters appear release volume down and press volume up. Android guy with gears turning should appear. Leave it alone until it reboots on its own.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Renesys:
Thank you, I'll try it soon as possible.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Renesys:
Hi, it doesn't work. I have put into sd a rom downloaded from here, renamed it like EP101_SDUPDATE.zip, then I have turn on the device with power plus vol-. When screen appears release power and hold (while holding vol-) vol+, it displays "kernel boot image" then it turns off and nothing happens... this trouble has begun when I've tryed to change kernel. Do you think that put into the sd a kernel re-named "EP101_SDUPDATE.zip" (instead of a ROM file) may be useful?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] luna_c666:
No, the file has to be digitally signed by Asus, you cannot create your own file for stock recovery to flash unless you have access to Asus proprietary digital signature algorithm, which is tightly controlled (refer you to stuxnet virus using stolen digital signatures from realtek, and what stolen signatures can be used to do illegally).

Did you extract the file you got from Asus down to the WW_epad-user-x.x.x.xx.zip file? If the file you renamed was called updater_something etc. This file needs to be opened, there is another zip file inside it you need that one. If this doesn't work, i think you are bricked, until we get the sbk2, which may never happen.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Renesys:
Hi, I have downloaded "UpdateLauncher_WW_epaduser8_6_6_23.zip" from Asus website. Then I have extracted the content file named "WW_epaduser8_6_6_23.zip" and put it into sd. Boot with power and vol- pressed, then vol+, but nothing happens... only reboot... I have also tried to rename the file like "EP101_SDUPDATE.zip"... dead. Only reboot... I think that it is bricked. :(

I've just contact Asus, let's see what happens...

A grateful thank you for your help luna_c666... one day I'll offer you a beer... ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Speederer:
I had similar problem.

I flashed the ICS kernel and Revolver ROM successfully yesterday. But I tried to update to Revolver 1.3. It was OK, but after that my TF reboots randomly. I tried to back to stock HC (WW_epad-user-8.6.5.21).

Then my TF couldn't start normally. It stucked on at the ASUS logo.

Fortunately after I wiped data, my TF works normally. :) (Stock rom)

So, the ICS kernel is good for stock HC rom. Although my TF didn't stock on the Eeepad screen, it was going to the next screen (ASUS logo).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] luna_c666:
Sorry to hear, you don't have a recovery mode.. it seems..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Renesys:
Yes, that seems to be the problem. I have always had it installed before, I don't know why it's disappeared...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Speederer:
The recovery mode didn't appear on my TF normally. When I powered on with the power and vol- buttons, then I pressed a vol+, the android appeared with moving gears. If I put any custom rom to the sd card, I got a yellow exclamation mark in the android figure. Just the original flash seemed good. I put one zip file into the sd root, that called EP101_SDUPDATE.zip

After that my TF didn't work. But I powered on it with the power and vol- buttons, I waited a few seconds, then I got the double icon screen, wipe data or android. I choosed wipe, then my TF booted normally.

So, If I am in your place, I try this flash + wipe method. Maybe it will work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Renesys:
Thank you! When I'll be home, this evening, I'll try your method. For now... thanks :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] lemonoid:
I'd like to hear your results from this. It worked for the other guy and if it works for you, then I think we may have found our fix for the B7O ...not exactly a fix, but at least a way back to normal if we screw it up because unfortunately I have a B7O device as well...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] luna_c666:
Check your B70 with NVFlash to confirm it is SBK2, I have an SBK1 B70.

I don't even own this tablet, someone just asked me to unbrick it for them because, well, I'm not a stranger to Android and custom ROMs.

This is the end of my log. Now I have a brick. Previously I was able to boot in to the bad recovery. Now its a brick. Not recognized via USB, screen not turning on etc.

Any help guys?

Edit: I can see the device as APX, but I cant update the driver. It says that its already the newest and best. Steel, black screen, cant connect to adb :S

Edit #2: nvflashtf worked when I tried again. I need to buy someone a pack beer for this. Can I get paypal from the developer?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
I think the nvflash unbricking is attributed to the devs at androidroot.mobi

is this nvflash work on TFT101G B80 ?? I cant unbrick my phone with this version !
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
No, your B80 is not SBK V1 so it will not work.

What happened to your TF?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] quangnhut123:
I brick my TF and all data has been format with no backup.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
Is it rooted? You have CWM recovery? ect
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gaijin2:
The same for me, bricked :(.

I've flashed lastest recovery, but this version only use zip files on internal SD... But I cannot push files on it... Any ideas ?

I tried to use OTA updates on external micro SD, but it does not work...

No way also to have adb to push files, and the recovery does not autorise usb mount (when connected to a computer...)

It's a TF101G with SBK v2 (B80).

Any Help ?

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mido-mido:
i think my tf101 may be SBK v1..(cause it's B70...so it's 50% chance... :D)...can i use this tool to install a custom rom on this tablet or not??? (it's not rooted...it's stock with ICS...and 9.2.1.17...(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
To be sure you can run the sbk detect tool. You could also just use ViperMod to root, install cwm recovery and flash custom ROM
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mido-mido:
the SBK detection is for mac and linux...and i'm not the linux or mac guy...(i love windows...)

and for the vipermod and these things...cause i can't install driver correctly...it always gives error and some craps...( so it doesn't work correctly for me... :D )

and i can't have SDK and these things...cause i'm in iran...and i can't download them...

so...let's say that my tf101 is SBK V1...can i use this tool to install (flash) custom rom???(i think by your answer it means YES... :D)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
Yes if you have an SBK v1, you can flash a rooted ROM using NVFlash.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NxtGenCowboy:
Is there any hope for us SBKv2 guys?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] doomah69:
got it to work
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dligon:
well i did the same thing to my transformer. i finally got adb to recognize it after a few days of trying(tempted to chunk it against the wall) then after it recognizes the transformer you have to push the files ( i believe the ones from unbricking your tf101 forum) to your external i had to push them 100 times just to get them in the right location(noob to using adb. but finally got it working.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] GenghisKhan67:
This worked like a champ on my TF101 B50xxxx, restored from the latest OTA ICS. Many thanks to the OP and others who commented in this thread.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gaijin2:
Hi,

Did you do that on Windows or Linux ? When you was able to push the files, in which state your TF101 was (recovery, starting cold, ...) ?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] holland6045:
Not sure what I'm doing wrong, or for that matter what I could be doing wrong. But, every time I run this it closes without explanation after hanging at part 15 and leaves the device in apx mode without a way to take it out of it.

Having nothing but trouble with this device to begin with so it might be related to a prior issue but nonetheless it's annoying as all hell. Primarily was trying to revert it to as close to stock as possible to attempt to fix a problem I've been having, Namely the inability to charge when the device is turned on or in cwm.

Edit: forget it, i'm a moron and forgot to put the actual thing i was flashing into the folder.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chaas5010:
Is there sounds like there is a b80 tf101 nvflash now but only on linux?

I flashed AndroWook onto my prime, and I keep getting stuck on its boot animation.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] louser:
This is the only thing that worked for me!!!! Only one problem, it shows headphones plugged in when there is none plugged in. This is the same issue I had before I restarted my tablet. When I restarted it wouldn't go past the boot screen. So I'm scared there is something physically wrong with my tablet. Oh and I have no sound. Any suggestions?

Hi everyone,

Using windows 8, i cannot install APX driver. Is there a different file for windows 8 please ?

Thanks.

Edit: well, using an old windows xp laptop, i have the same issue, hum

Edit 2: I found the reason why it could not install, is because the driver signature has to be disabled.

If I can help, here are the instructions to do it:

Windows 8 Instructions

How to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 8:

From the Metro Start Screen, open Settings (move your mouse to the bottom-right-corner of the screen and wait for the pop-out bar to appear, then click the Gear icon).

Click ‘More PC Settings’.

Click ‘General’.

Scroll down, and click ‘Restart now’ under ‘Advanced startup’.

Wait a bit.

Click ‘Troubleshoot’.

Click ‘Advanced Options’

Click ‘Windows Startup Settings’

Click Restart.

what am i doing wrong.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frederuco:
Not sure, but did you let it run some more? It may take some time but it still has 6 partitions to format, and then files to push to them to get it to boot. How long did you wait for it at this screen? I know mine will take about 5-10 minutes to use NVFlash (using the EasyFlasher tool).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] blitz_krieg916:
i slept for 2 hours and after i woke up still nothing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frederuco:
I have not tried this tool, but I have used EasyFlasher with great success.

Might want to give that a shot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] blitz_krieg916:
i now have easy flasher. and i downloaded the original rom from asus ww version. i clicked flash, then the tablet says phone update success. then i clicked unbrick and my tab disconnects apx mode..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frederuco:
The flash/unbrick is the same option. Once the tablet says phone update success on it, you should be able to hold the power button for 10-30 seconds and it should reboot to the stock ROM.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] blitz_krieg916:
any idea why the tab disconnects while im flashing the stock rom. it always does it at partition 3 when im using easyflasher.

---------- Post added at 04:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:03 AM ----------

got passed writing app on partion 3 and continued on formatting but it still stopped and disconnects at formatting partition 10.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dunndada:
UPDATE: The Prime 1.4 linked is European (WW) build! Roach will release 1.5 soon probably and there'll be both WW and US available. I'm planning to write a quick guide on how to root when running stock 3.1 already (it's pretty easy!)! E.g. to stay on full stock and *just* have root :)

Just root will not wipe anything?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zephiK:
What happens if I'm on a WW build and flash a US one instead when 1.5 comes out? I just noticed that my TF101 went WW (originally US) after performing the NVFlash.

Not a huge deal if I have to redo everything again since I'll have Titanium Backup now and won't have to start from scratch.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] DroidxRage:
Pardon, but even if it installs a region specific WW ROM onto the device, having Clockwork installed now, what keeps you from just installing a US ROM over that version?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zephiK:
Probably nothing, but just wanted to ask anyway. Nandroid backup is our savior :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] skybuster:
Flashed my stock Transformer to PRime 1.4 WW within 10 mins or so.

It gives a custom rom and CWM recovery from what i know.

When you hold on to the power power the shutdown menu gives a reboot option to reboot into recovery and the CWM version is ClockworkMod 3.1.0.1-solarnz-R3 Modded for Internal media.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] rayman:
Yes. Once it's ready, it will be just root, no wiping :)

It will consist of flashing rooted boot.img, CWM and then and update.zip separately to install su and Superuser.apk.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] v0kal:
I used the ww version and just flashed the us after I rooted no problems for me

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jester450:
Been waiting for an easy root method. Directions was very easy to follow.

For anyone doing this in the US, you can flash the US Rom after. One thing I ran into is in CWM, it didn't recognize my microsd card. Searched and found that CWM for some reason doesn't like 32gb class 10 cards. It seems to be a hit and miss.

Other than that, wayyyy easy.

It's not hard to use CWM for nandroid, if you can root and flash a ROM, nandroid is a "walk in the park".

Yea that would work. But im talking about natively running it from command line.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pilotbluemike:
so i followed all instructions.. had a WW version with root.. installed Prime 1.4 US version and CWR and then i lost the reboot to recovery option when holding down the power button.. did i mess something up and if i did how can i get CWR back?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jhanford:
The recovery button mod exists as file changes in the /system/framework folder. Flashing Prime 1.4 US formats /system, so you lose the recovery button mod.

Just flash the mod again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
You didn't mess anything up. It seems the us version doesn't included the power options mod. U can use quick boot or a terminal app to do a reboot recovery. Cwm is still there, it didn't go anywhere.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pilotbluemike:
ok i tried quick boot and i press recovery and ..nothing.. i dont know the terminal app code to reboot to recovery .. any help there?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pilotbluemike:
ok so i dont know what happened.. i didnt really install anything new or different or crazy.. but somehow i lost root.. thats why i lost CWR and now i cant access any root apps or superuser.. sooooo.. im just gonna wipe and start the whole process again.. so weird.. it was working for a while i dont know why root was lost.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
You didn't loose root. Quickboot does not workto get you into recovery.

Press and hold volume down + power button as soon as you see small lines off wordings at the top left corner press vlume up within 5 sec, that will takeyou to cwm
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] david279:
You still got root man.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pilotbluemike:
meh i dont know what i did but every app that requires root told me i didnt have root access... so i just redid everything really quick.. im back up and running already. Only a little 5 minute road bump.

thanks for the help though much appreciated

update.. all running smooth now and applied recovery mod .. worked perfectly. who knows what i did.
