Help please! the bold portion of this doesnt seem to be doing anything. i hit enter and it just goes to the next line and nothing gets ran.

is there a certain way to exit the shell? of do i just close the command window?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Option 1a

Don't be afraid, your Prime should be recoverable. This is the good news. The bad news is, that you need quite some knowledge of ADB.

To recover your Prime (most likely) you need the following:

A working ADB setup (please google that if you don't have it, "tutorial setup adb" or something like that should do the trick)

The USB-Cable to connect the Prime to your PC

A few minutes time

Now 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.

but when i press enter i have a dd error.."no such file..."

what can i do?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] acdcking12345:
I used the 1a option since my Prime was just going into recovery only.

I went through all of the steps and the DOS dialog box shows that it pushed something to my Prime. But when I reboot it again, goes back into recovery again.

Am I missing a step?

This is what I get when I run the ADB command:

I was quoted $209 for a new motherboard and $65 labour.. I am having it shipped back and will keep it in the hope someone comes up for a fix for option 2
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mikeyxb:
bit of a problem, im stuck in a boot loop and adb wont recognise my device, i dont think i ticked debugging mode am i perma bricked, or can i not try and open my device and find an internal sd and put some files on that for brick 1....

EDIT... problem solved with trial and error ended up having to force adb drivers on m laptop and now all is good have adb working thanks anyway

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HuskyHamburger:
I don't know how to help you with the bold part but to exit the shell, all you need to do is type exit and press enter. Also, you probably already figured that out by now :)

I tried to install TWRP thru Fastboot and Goo Manager with no success. Now, my Prime won't boot up past the splash screen and if I try to enter the recovery/fastboot via the white text. It automatically goes into "Booting recovery kernel image" without giving me the option to go into fastboot or recovery. I tried almost everything, and I'm not even sure I can fix it without access to fastboot, recovery, or the Prime itself. Any help?

i unlocked my prime and all was good. put new rom on internal storage and started doing all my wipes and what not. went to install the rom zip but could not find it. so i figured i would just reboot and put it on there again since all i did was wipe data and stuff but it will not boot past splash screen:( so i think i am bricked for good or is there anything i can try?

forgot to add that i do not have any error messages on the splash screen
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vicous707:
Ditto same with the dude above me im stuck at the splash screen. i can into recover also. I did 1a but still stuck and i dont have a rom.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neckbonest:
i can also adb while in cwm. if anyone knows how to push the rom with adb in cwm that might fix my bricked prime

I'm also in a brick 3. I'm able to access CWM and Fastboot from the Prime, but can't get Windows 7- 64bit to recognize the drivers. I've installed the Naked Drivers 0.6.1 and still it's not recognizing it when I type

fastboot devices

Is there anyway around this?

I would appreciate any help anyone can offer on this.

Thank you!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neckbonest:
thank you so much! i was doing everything right, i was just missing /sdcard/ at the end of my adb push
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] YodaDaCoda:
Just thought I'd give my two cents.

I had a 1A brick, caused by GooManager when I tried to flash the TWRP recovery. After spending the last two days trying to fix it (using ****ty 2G tethering interwebs) I finally managed to fix it using the instructions on the first post.

The only roadblock I encountered was that I couldn't get ADB to recognise my device, even using the naked drivers, and with device manager showing "Transformer Prime ADB Interface". I tried five different computers, with OSX, Linux & Win 7 & 8. Finally, after reading through almost the entire thread (200+ posts) I came across a simple solution: install ADB through the SDK.

I am happy to say my TFP now works fine, and would like to suggest a note be made in the OP to the effect that some ADB issues may be fixed by installing from SDK rather than obtaining from elsewhere. This would save the few of us who have encountered this problem a couple hours work.

Peace out.

i have a 1a brick but im not able to the adb bcause he can not find the device in cwm plzz help me i only have my tf for one day:( and my adb whas working good
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neckbonest:
hey leime68, tyr uninstall all other android drivers and install the naked driver and that should get you adb in cwm again. thats what i had to do
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] j8dailo:
I think i have the last type of brick, i tried to installed a new rom on my prime but it never booted up so did a full wipe and install which didn't work. now its stuck at eepad screen with no recovery option but yet i could still access fastboot...any idea how i can go about fixing this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leime68:
its not working, i cant sleep anymore. do you think asus want to unbrick it for free or for some money?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chrischdi:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] captsakis:
try this WSG UnBricker V1.0.2 and check previous posts
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Thenetstriker:
I tried to talk with the people at the repair center, but they did not get any tools from Asus to recover a device from brick option 2, so the mainboard replacment would be the only chance to repair my device. I refused that offer because for this price I can buy a new tablet which is more open than the ones from Asus. (Hoping the Google tablets will be out soon an be open to fastboot) So my TF201 is now officially a paperweight until we can somehow get access to the internal tools from Asus. (Which I believe do exist somewhere) :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leime68:
but why i can only install a rom from the INTERNAL MEMORY?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leime68:
ok here is what im trying to do:

i open my device meneger; look screenshot 1.

than i click update driver; screenshot 2

than i get this error: look screenshot 3

update:

Thx for all help but i know what the problem was. I was trying to do it in windows 8 consumer preview. After the error in windows 8 i tried to do it in windows 7, AND IT WORKS!!!

But now i've got another question:

How to install any rom with fastboot or adb?

Saved me from CWM demon LOOP

I would just like to say thank you for this. It saved my Prime!!!

I was in the A1 scenario (constant reboot loop into CWM) after using the option to reboot/into recovery via the new CYANOGEN nightly released today (5/5/2012)

When you press the power button this is one of the options.

Might be a random incident, might not be.

I am posting this in detail, and spending my time for the sake of the community/prime owners/forum search function.

I followed this guide to setup a PC that my prime had never been connected to (FRESH)

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-install-adb-on-windows-full-guide/

after setting the appropriate environment variables on Windows 7.

I used your exact instructions to get out of this loop

or

Go here http://de.codeplex.com/ and install Droid Explorer, and at the end of install it will ask you if you want it to setup the SDK for you.

I did the SDK manually, as the anal retentive annoying person that I am :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zummer22:
Saved mmy prime from CWM reboot loop!!!

THANK YOU ! !

I'm glad that you had a fix for it :D

-You helped a lot of people and primes included mine ! :):):)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gerald410:
Not sure if you have the same problem that I had(stuck at eee pad screen with no access to recovery). I used fastboot to flash recovery and stock boot.blob to resolve the issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sunfirex:
Brick!

Hey guys,

I'm running into a CWM loop brick as well.

I'm not a stranger to flashing ROMs or Kernels in the past, as I've done it frequently on my SGS1.

But, after following directions on how to install AOKP for TF201, I ran into a CWM bootloop. Rooted the device, unlocked the bootloader, installed CWM, then installed the ROM. Tried to boot and was stuck in a loop.

I could not restore my back up that was created prior to the installation and cannot install another ROM.

I've tried going through most of the unbrick methods with no avail.

I can get into fastboot, Windows recognizes the device and tries to install a driver, mind you I'm using the naked drivers. But, in ADB the device is unknown when I do an adb get-state.

I have a sinking feeling that I'm doomed, but I'm just curious if anyone else has been here.

I just find it odd that Windows can still recognize the device, but ADB doesn't. When I go into CWM, Windows does not recognize the device at all and I have the same unknown state in ADB.

I've tried the WSG Unbricker and since the adb state is unknown, it can't push the files over.

I'm hoping for a reason to hope haha, but I think I'm done for. Just looking for confirmation.

Thank you.

Update: I'm able to push the recovery image from WSG to my tablet, but I can't get back into it now. If I try to push any other files I get an error:

sending boot...

writing 'boot'

FAILED (remote: (BadParameter))

finished. total time: 0.873s

On my TFP it says: Failed to process command flash:boot error(0x4)

Anyone know why I would get this?

Anyone receiving this error, please read the next post #268 (Swiftks) (this resolved my issue).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Holly Sweet Baby Jesus!!!!!

Thank God!!! *Breaths sigh of relief*

Problem/Issue:

- Was on AOKP Milestone 5.

- Installed TWRP Recovery via fastboot (over CWM).

- Made Backup.

- Installed CM9, played with it for a day or so.

- Wanted to go back to AOKP... Restored TWRP Backup

- Upon Reboot, stuck at boot screen (EEE Pad Screen).

- No recovery, only options were wipe & fastboot

- Flashing either version of recovery yielded no results... still stuck.

Solution:

- Download AKOP Rom zip again to computer. (or which ever particular rom you restored).

- boot into fastboot

- flash recovery via "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.8-tf201.img" <--- CWM Touch Version

- Extract boot.blob from Rom .zip

- flash boot.blob via "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash boot boot.blob"

- reboot via "fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot"

BOOTING UP & Recovery Access!!!

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] birchnick10:
hi everyone

Heres my issue...

I have a transformer prime that;

I just unrooted using Vipermod

Then did a factory reset

Now I am stuck in CWM recovery

I attempted to do a restore but after it gets done it brings me back into the recovery

I attempted to ADB but the command prompt opens and closes right away ( I assume from not being in USB debugging, which I cant get into without a rom)

I have no rom's currently downloaded into the prime

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Thanks, Nick

Will gladly toss ya 5 bucks if you can solve my issue.

I will try to find the thread I posted in how to get command prompt working so you can access adb on your prime
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LTLFTCer:
Hi all,

Hoping someone can help me figure out how to unbrick my device. I tried to install the edited build.prop here in the development forum. I ended up with a blank screen. I am rooted, but locked.

The computer and adb used to see the device, but now only the computer recognizes it. I cannot get adb to pick it up. I tried to manually install the Universal Drivers, but everytime it says something to the effect that MTP device is up to date. I am getting frustrated as I have always been pretty good at figuring these things out, but this has me stumped. Would really like to get this back and avoid another $500 device.

Any suggestions?

I have been having a terrible time with drivers for both the Nexus and this device. Computer sees both usually, but especially with the Nexus I cannot access the internal SD card through USB. This is for both my Laptop (64 bit) and Desktop (32 bit), both Windows 7
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LTLFTCer:
Ok, so I bought another Prime. I was hoping to correctly get the drivers installed with this new one and be able to connect to the other. It did correctly install the drivers, but no luck connecting to the other. Anyone able to assist in getting this connected or am I screwed until NVFlash?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Probably wont change anything, but un-install all ASUS/Prime drivers in device manager first. Then install universal naked drivers. Check adb devices again. Where did you get your adb? If you're using the one from sdk, maybe it needs a update??? If you adb still wont see your Prime, I think that you maybe SOL. Since you didn't unlock yet, I guess you don't have the fastboot option either.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LTLFTCer:
Thanks Swift, yeah I tried that before. I updated adb yesterday I think. Do you think NV Flash will work if ever released even if I am not unlocked?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Merkolas:

BTW its Unlocked and of course rooted...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
You need adb files... I've attached them, if you don't have them. Also, you need to issue the commands from the folder that you have the adb files in (shift + right click, open command prompt here).

Also, issue this command first to start adb "adb devices"
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newvet:
I had been fighting with the same exact problem for the past 2 days!

So like a idiot I used goo manager to try and flash the latest aokp to tp using cwm touch. It boots loops to recovery. Looks like this is the first option in the the op. Anyways im using ubuntu and when i connect my tablet to my pc while in recovery and run adb devices i get ????????????????? no permissions. I've searched and I can't find a way to get it setup up right. Anybody know what i need to do so that adb will correctly recoginize my tablet in recovery? Thanks guys.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sunfirex:
Do you have the drivers installed correctly? Was it identifying your device before you bricked it? Or did you just install Ubuntu to try to unbrick?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dai323:
All I can say is THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this thread. It LITERALLY saved my ass. I sold my Galaxy Tab 10.1 last week and my new Prime arrived yesterday. I naturally rooted it, but guess I got too used to using Odin in Samsung to expect such issues! But I found out a few things that might help out users that have Brick 1A.

So I unlocked, flashed cwm, installed a custom ROM, and all was well. I then saw the touch version of CWM laying around and thought "cool! I ll flash that in CWM" as instructed. I flashed, no error messages, hit reboot, and bam...CWM loop.

I freaked out. I have rooted lots of devices (I work at AndroidPIT) but never had a scare as bad as this one. No matter what I tried, it went back to recovery, and not the touch one I had flashed. So I found this thread and a LIFESAVING ADB setup tutorial here:

http://www.support-4-you.com/main/i...d-adb-installation&catid=40:how-tos&Itemid=57

and the fix for it here (http://www.support-4-you.com/main/i...e-packaged-adb-sdk&catid=40:how-tos&Itemid=57)

I had never really had to use ADB in the past, and the guide made it so easy. So I executed the OP commands and BAM, device rebooted! But then it happened...

I booted to recovery again and flashed a new ROM, and then hit reboot. Same issue. Apparently my CWM file was still corrupted. The ADB fix commands were right, but the corrupted CWM remained.

So this time, I entered in the commands, then rebooted back to fastboot. I then followed this guide to reflash CWM:

http://transformerprimeroot.com/tra...orkmod-recovery-5-8-2-0-on-transformer-prime/

Flash was successful. I then went to CWM again, wiped, flashed a new ROM, and now all is more or less back to normal. I cant reboot into CWM via ROM Manager or with Quick Boot, so for now I guess I will still need to do it by holding power + volume down, ect, but I can live with that for now.

Hope it helps someone else, and thanks again for this thread! To any previous Galaxy Tab 10.1 users out there who now have a prime...ODIN HAS SPOILED US! This tablet is a different ball game, and I see now I need to be A LOT more careful with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
I stressed around with this for a long time. The UN drivers didn't work for me, I found a download earlier in this thread (adb.rar) and that got it going. I installed and uninstalled for hours and finally got it working.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LTLFTCer:
Thanks. I will try that. You just stuck the file on a microsd and booted into stock recovery?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newvet:
Exactly.

You probably know already but remember to unzip the downloaded file and rename the zip within.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sunfirex:
Update: I was able to push AOKP over, install, and I now have a recovered tablet.

So, I've made some progress with my tablet.

I was able to push the AOKP blob file from fastboot. I'm now back in recovery.

I had done a factory reset prior and have no installation of AOKP on the internal SD.

Here is my problem now:

I can get into recovery. If I do an "adb devices" it lists the serial and says it's in recovery. If I do "adb get-state" the state is unknown. I can push the adb reboot recovery command...no problem.

I cannot, however, push any files to the tablet, and not sure why.

Tried using "adb push aokp_TFP_milestone5.zip /sdcard/"

and it just hangs. It doesn't actually push the file.

I am using the Naked drivers.

Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks in advance.

This is what I did, and this is what saved me.

THANK YOU.

All I had to do was push the blob file thru fastboot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LTLFTCer:
That was the issue, I tried this method before since the file was on my computer, but I never unzipped when I put it on the SDCard. This worked perfectly. Thanks so much. Now I guess I have a used Prime to sell.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newvet:
Glad you got it going!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dai323:
Damn...recovered from brick 1a, got aokp running and all is good (tried to flash touch cwm which resulted in cwm loop). BUT...when I try to reboot to recovery from power menu, rom manager, or quick boot app, the tablet just does a normal reboot.

Any ideas how to boot back to cwm from the ROM directly?
