[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Garret:
I have 2 Primes...both were with stock Roms, one with the latest .18 update and the other one with the .15 update.

I successfully unlocked and flashed the 1st one with the latest Energy Rom using Urkel's fresh root.

However when I followed the same procedure on the other Prime, Urkel's fresh root said that it flashed recovery successfully but when I tried to enter Recovery, NOTHING HAPPENED. So I rebooted, pressed "wipe data", nothing happened again. I rebooted again and..my Prime hangs on the 1st screen, the Asus Perfection Screen with the Nvidia Logo at the bottom right.

I cannot enter the recovery menu anymore. Is it bricked?? I didn't use NvFlash.

Is there any way I can fix it?? Please help, this was Present for my little sister..and it really sux now!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cobaltounet:
Same thing here.

I used fastboot to flash "recovery-clockwork-5.8.3.4-tf201". Everything seemed fine :

sending 'recovery' (5408 KB)...
OKAY [ 2.538s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 6.210s]
finished. total time: 8.748s

I tried too boot into recovery mode. The prime hangs. ( I did flash a second time just to be sure => same results).

I reboot, this time I select the WIPE DATA icon => The prime hangs.

I reboot, this time I am stuck in the first screen. No fastboot, no ADB...

Any ideas (other than a trying a RMA) ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Garret:
Damn...I've seen dozens of people with the same problem...wtf is so wrong with so many Primes?

I have 2 Primes and I had no problem installing the latest Energy on the other one..!

I have the problem that my prime won't pass the asus splash screen

tf201 brick

Hi guys I state that I do not understand anything, and then I kindly ask what you can do on my first served and returned in this condition

then turn on the screen, and in the center is the inscription asus top left says that this is unlocked divece

nothing else

if I press the button to turn it off you shut down and restart so alone

if I press the volume up key plus power button turns off and the computer sees it with apx driver

if I press the volume down key power button reboots and more just

if I press the two volume buttons does nothing

I wonder what kind of brick and affection

who was on loan told me that he was bringing back to its original state

I do not believe ........
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doddsie:
I am in a similar sinking ship to you, everything I've tried fails. Can not what ever I try get adb work, works fine with my n7 desire and wildfire. I think I'm in cwm recovery but I does not matter as adb isn't working. Only thing I wonder now is if there is anyway of at least getting thhe drive out of the thing so I can at least restore my photos.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
You are not explaining enough.. If you can get into cwm you are not hard bricked.

What happens if you power off the prime and then hold down power button and volume down button for 10 seconds? Do you get any icons appear.

How are you getting into what you think is cwm also ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doddsie:
Right this is pretty much everything I know.. when I power up it goes to a screen "clockwork recovery v5.8.2.0" volume down & power reboots into the same screen. Just power the same. All three powers the unit down. Volume up and power appears to lock it. (Have to do all three buttons again to get I to do anything other than sit there looking dead.) There isn't anything I can do to the tablet to get windows drivers loaded. Just has the ! Next to it in device manager, Gives error code 10. But works with all my other devices. HTC desire, wildfire. N7 and n4. The PC was just reinstalled so should be free of any drivers that could be conflicting.

Was so long ago I did this so can't even remember what I did exactly, think it was do do with going from cornerstone 17 to cornerstone 19. Backup in cwd director is cornerstone 17. Only ROMs I have on there are that one and cornerstone 19.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] janezdegomera:
the problem is that I can not turn it off

if I press the power button turns off and on

to turn it off apparently put it in apx power + vol up
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Most people who cannot get drivers installed in windows have a faulty cable or have damaged part of the input socket. Try to install naked drivers on a different PC while in CWM and if you still have the same problem then buy a cheap cable off ebay. They are about £3 ($4).

A power cable can be broken and still charge the prime but not access adb etc.

Also, did you ever do the NVflash process? I know you are still on ICS bootloader.

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

If you can't get to anywhere at all and you don't have nvflash backup files there isn't really much I can do to help you sorry mate.

If you do have nvflash backup files let me know and I will try to help.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doddsie:
Sadly no nvflash' was bricked and unlocked before that came out,. Just found the tablet in the cupboard and I thought maybe things where different since last time I looked. Looks like its either pay Asus 270 for a new motherboard, or stick it on eBay broken and hope I get something back that way.

I will give a new cable a try tomorrow.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
If you can get adb to work in another PC or with another cable this should be an easy fix. You have soft brick type 1a and you will just do the following.

Make sure your Prime is in Recovery mode (CWM)

Open a cmd line on your pc

Type: "adb shell"

You should see a "#" now

Once you have that "#", please type: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 bs=100 count=1 and press [Enter]

Now type: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=16 count=1 and press [Enter]

Exit the shell and reboot your Prime via CWM

It should not reboot to CWM automatically now. It either boots your ROM or is stuck at the splash screen. If it is stuck, boot to recovery and install any ROM you want.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doddsie:
BTW, if there is anyone near Warrington/Manchester that thinks they can get this working, I'm happy to work out a payment for your help fixing it..

Hopefully its the cable, before I gave up trying to get it working in July last year I did try on a few PCs with no luck. Damn I hope its the cable...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
If you still can't get it fixed after trying a different PC and cable then I might let you send it to me. I'm in Wales and as long as you pay the postage back I don't want anything for looking at it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] janezdegomera:
but there is no one who has made ​​a jtag to solve this problem
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doddsie:
Trying to avoid mailing it if possible, depends where you are in wales maybe its driving distance. I could drop it off, last time this was with a postal company they broke it, took months to get them to admit it was them, even with photo evidence I took.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Let's hope a new cable fixes it. I'm south Wales about 30 mins past Cardiff. Miles from you ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doddsie:
Well let's see tomorrow. There is a couple of places local that might have a lead. Fingers crossed..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] doddsie:
Damn stupid pointless Warrington. Not a single shop with the lead... just wondering if its not the lead is there anything else simple it could be. In two minds if I should just stick it on eBay broken, see how much it would go for.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Try a cable off eBay. They under 3 quid.

Any suggestions on how to rescue my Prime?

Reading through the OP and my situation doesn't quite fit any of the described "Bricks"

I was stupid and forgot to back up anything before trying to flash Custom Energy Rom.

Now my prime is stuck on the Asus Eee Pad splash screen, then goes black and back into the splash screen.

I still have access to recovery (TWRP v2.1.3) but I can't access fastboot or adb.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] west stains massive:
I'm having the same problem you are having kinda, but my problem started when in goomanager I hit reboot into recovery, I did that because I couldn't get my prime to boot into recovery so I tried that but I do not have access to TWRP it just keep looping to the splash screen.

With the eggs at the neck.

I followed the first post, made microsd with ubuntu.img anf flashed the blob with flashtool. I got stuck in asus splashscreen.

Reboot in twrp recovery and restore boot and get the same stuck on asus splashscreen.

I had to reflash androwook completely to properly boot the tablet.

I have jb bootloader, is the blob file from the first post the correcto for this bootloader? Which did i use?

(Sorry for my bad english)

Only APX Mode without NVFlash Blob files - anything possible now?

Dear all members,

Last night while trying to install CWM over TWRP, I messed by the bootloader and now i am left with only APX mode. I did not get the blobs also using the fastboot. Is there any possibility now to get this sorted out in the near future when ASUS decides to provide us with some tools to unlock NVFlash?

Thanks.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgdimick:
Try holding the Power button and the Volume Down. When the 1st splash screen comes up, release the Power butten. Then hit the Volume Up.

This should place your Prime in recovery mode -

follow the instructions for using ADB to copy a boot image over to /sdcard, then you just do an "update" from sdcard

Option 1a?

It appears that I have Option 1a. Boots straight to Recovery but then TWRP asks for a password. It appears that TWRP can't mount anything and I can't access any ROMs or backups. I can connect with adb; says device id is 0123456789ABCDEF. When I try to go to adb shell, command shows ~ # <-[6n then exits. I can't enter any commands in adb shell before it exits after 10-15 seconds, back to command prompt.

This all happened when I wanted to flash the latest NRG ROM after being on CM10.1 20130308 UNOFFICIAL tf201. Aroma installer for NRG said I first needed to flash jb 4.2.1 bootloader, and when I tried to do this, was left with this problem. I have seen posts about using adb shell to change to ext4 but I have the same problem as indicated above--shows ~ # <-[6n and then exits before I can enter any commands.

Any suggestions?

Still got a problem

Hi folks,

I have tried most things, but my 201 is still looping into CWM.

This is what happened, I had a TF201 with ICS installed, I unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM, but didn't play with any Roms etc, just left it there. I did a backup though.

I decided to pass on my device, so I ran the factory reset within ICS , all seemed fine, but now it wont boot past CWM, I cant get ADP to work, just says no device found. I have the Universal driver running and the TF201 is showing in device manager. If I try holding down the volume down button, I get the 3 lines of text, but it still boots into CWM.

I have tried to restore my backup, again all seems to work well, but still CWM is the only thing it does.

any ideas? ( gulp )

thanks

Hi people:

I get on to bootloop with my TF201 installing Androbook Hairybean 2.11 (android 4.2.1)

Always boot on TWRP 2.4.4.0

I can send via ADB the command "adb reboot-bootloader" and get fastboot mode.

I tried method 1a but no luck. When i put "adb shell" its get "~ # <-[6n" instead of "~ # " and i dont know if it matters or no.

Any ideas?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Please tell me what you did so far?

Did you flash the upgrade zip first?

Did you then wait for the blue line to fill and then when it booted back into twrp then flash the full rom ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] juanbad:
Hi flumpster,

I did unlock the Tablet. Then install TWRP 2.5.0.0. Next i flash the upgrade.zip with twrp modded with bootloader.

Untill that all ok, but after the upgrade.zip i think something goes wrong. At first, TWRP seems not to be upgraded, coz it doesnt recognize the partitions, and ask me for password. Then i read and read about, and download the TWRP modded for this rom. Go to fastboot and flash it.

Now it recognice partitions and see dirs on /data partition and sd card. Now it let me flash the the rom, but it never boot it after flashing. The installation seems to goes OK, coz there is no error on TWRP log.

Tried to install a modded stock rom from ASUS for unlocked devices, but it says that build.prop hardware versión is tf201... so it seems that TWRP believe its another model?

Now im lost... in bootloop always to recovery TWRP 2.4.4.0...

Actual scenary: when i turn it on, it vibrate twice, and ASUS logo appears, then black screen, then ASUS logo again and go on to TWRP recovery.

If need more info please tell me.

Thanks so much.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Ok.. First of all I want you to grab the downgrade zip from the hairybean thread.

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390362690511177322

Now put that on your external SD along with a 4.1.1 rom. (Hairybean 1.51 or stock JB rom)

Go into twrp and flash the downgrade zip. Restart after flashing it and let the blue line fill all the way (this could take a few minutes)

Once that is finished you should be back on the stock JB 4.1.1 bootloader and compatible TWRP.

It should boot back into TWRP when completed.

Go to wipe option and format data, wipe system, factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik.

Now go to the install screen and install the 4.1.1 based rom.

Do not flash any other versions of TWRP while doing all of this.. It is included in the downgrade.zip flash.

Tell me if this works and we will go from there.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] juanbad:
Now its stuck on ASUS spash screen... notthing to do.

Can boot into fastboot and it Works, it is recognice and work some commands, but when try to flash recovery, boot, or whatever blob, Tablet freeze.

If i try to get RCK, it says unrecoverable bootloader error.

it looks so bad...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Have you checked the md5 of the files you downloaded?

That really is not sounding good mate..

Tell me the process you went thru because after flashing the downgrade zip and letting it flash the blue line all the way it should have rebooted you back into twrp on it's own.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] juanbad:
I didnt see any blue line filling... something is wrong with it flashing... im at the same point of "cficklin31" that you spoke in another post... i can do whatever at fastboot, erase, getvar, devices... all work! except "flash"... when i try flash any file, boot, recovery, etc it says send ok and write ok, but at the prime no blue line filling and just freezes...

I have the same thing...is it the unrecoverable bootloader error 00000000x0? If so,I am afraid that there is no coming back from that. I tried everything, yes EVERYTHING, and failed.

Your TF201 is officially bricked and a paperweight until someone manages to get around JB nvflash restrictions, which is not going to happen any time soon.

Sorry dude, I feel your pain.
