HI guys;)

im using MiniCM 2.2.0 with nAa 11, but i got reboot fail sometimes. When it reboots, it isnt really reboot and stuck before the nAa icon shows up. Therefore i need to take out my battery and boot the phone again.... is there any solutions for this?:(
[XPERIA X8 General] :
No, I does have exactly the same problem, I think its caused by kernel panic, and then fails to continue the boot process.

And if you remove the Sdcard you cant boot:(
[XPERIA X8 General] stamatis:
It sounds like you have to go back to 2.1 with pccompanion and do all the things from the start.......
[XPERIA X8 General] Cnorm:
Thats sad:( just wait for next update and fixes....

Also thanks for reminding :D
[XPERIA X8 General] Cnorm:

I bring to you a tool to help UnBrick your Brick Prime. This should be used has a last resort.

**Please try DiamondBack thread before attempting to use this tool**

**Before using please install Universal Naked Driver**

**Big THANKS to Doktaphex for fastboot command**

Extract it somewhere like your desktop, though anywhere will work.

when i say extract it i mean use extract all so you get my file structure do not move these files or it will break

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MasterZen88:
Further, if I get any parts wrong, PM me and I'll get those parts corrected.

Android Partition, SPL etc.

Partitions:

Followings are a list of partitions on your ASUS Transformer Prime (TF201).

misc - misc partition -

recovery - Recovery Partition - This is where the original CWM recovery or any other Recovery would go. Basically if you reboot into recovery it'll boot from here.

boot - This is your boot partition also known has kernel

system - This is where all your system information (ROM resides)

cache - cache (When you factory reset the phone, this area is wiped)

userdata - user data (like your login, your user settings etc) When you factory reset the tablet, this area is wiped)

So, if you replace the recovery image, you are pretty much set for updates provided here at XDA.

ROM images will normally replace boot and system images at the same time and often time, userdata and cache too; reseting the phone completely.

SPL/Bootloader/Bricking Tablets:

SPL / Bootloader is like BIOS on a computer. At least I think of it that way. SPL can be updated! SPL comes as either Security-On of Security-Off (S-ON/S-OFF).

How do I know the tablet is bricked? A bricked tablet can not boot into bootloader, recovery, or into normal operation modes. You can not connect to a bricked tablet via adb or fastboot. You can only see one screen on the tablet and it will be the first splash screen.

Can see this coming in use sometime, so thanks in advance for when I screw up my tab(:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techno Droid:
Wow... now I could root my prime and keep it. I was afraid of bricking it.:rolleyes:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brainimpact:
great tool I never unlocked my prime b/c the half assed asus implementation but now I think I will as this will be like my last resort Insurance if i mess up, saying that I've never killed any of my other devices or had to revive them but some reason never felt confident with my prime.

everyone should be in here hitting thanks it deserves more attention

big thanks from me any way

**I bring to you a tool to help UnBrick your Brick Prime. This should be used has a last resort.

Cool beans man. Is this how you got your bricked Prime up and running?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MasterZen88:
Yes...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Techno Droid:
Is this for like a hard brick?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
this is for bricks that can't be fixed using Diamonbacks brick thread.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] benefit14snake:
My main man with the master plan! Thanks for making this Zen, this is one piece of your software I hope I won't have to use......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
I am very intrigued, could you please post more about exactly what this tool does, as your description is rather vague, to a certain extent.

Thank you for this tool. It's great to have so many great developers on the Prime. (and people said there would be no development because of it's secret sauce)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MasterZen88:
Yep, those people were wrong...haha

Basically this is a full fastboot solution that should be able to flash any partition on your tablet via a USB host. I used this method to recover my own tablet.

Please check out OP of more information.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MasterZen88:
Really I own you credit for figuring out the proper fastboot command "fastboot -i 0x0b05". I'll add it to OP!!! Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jermaine151:
Really nice script Zen!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Hey! It wasn't me who figured that command out. I assume it was someone at androidroot.mobi or elsewhere. I mearly stumbled upon it with open arms. :D But thanks anyway.

If we can find out who first figured out that command then I'll be able to update my thread also. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MasterZen88:
If you have downloaded the WSG Unbricker please don't use it yet. I just realized once you unbrick, it will take you to stock .21 with NO ROOT access. I am currently in the process of fixing this and should have a new link up in about two hours.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keion:
Allmywut.jpeg

Now anything can be unbricked?

Devs here are scary how fast they can produce quality work:D.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MasterZen88:
Fixed. IT now gives you the option to flash your own img's or flash WSG Beta rom.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tublah:
So, would this unbrick if you tried to flash a stock Asus Blob file via CWM (the type 2 Brick)? I have not bricked myself, but this seems to be the only hard brick method so far that can't be fixed.

Thanks for putting this together, you make people like me who are spoiled by Samsung and ODIN feel more comfortable with unlocking their devices. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaii:
Apologies for the noob question....

I have everything installed as per instructions, but your tool cannot communicate with my TFP since I cannot boot to bootloader (Unrecoverable bootloader error (0x00000004)).

Am I correct in assuming that this fix is not for me?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MasterZen88:
Yes, this will fix that.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] David522d:
Bout to unlock, This covers every brick(Hard Bricked) situation? THANKS!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MasterZen88:
Have you tried letting your prime completely die(Run out of power) before attempting to boot the bootloader?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaii:
I actually just did that. Plugged it in for an hour without booting to get a charge, turned it on and followed the instructions per [1]. Nada ;/

I'll give it another go. It's unplugged now, so I'll update in a while.

EDIT: Yeah, same thing, still won't boot the bootloader. I'm confused as to how this method is supposed to unbrick "Type2" bricks if we cannot access bootloader ><

Sorry. Any input?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beekay201:
Also subscribed. Thanks, will be trying to get this working over @zsh (i'll pm you a link if i ever get it working be sure of that).
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MasterZen88:
No, if you cannot get to bootlaoder then this method will not work for you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MasterZen88:
It wont unbrick if you cannot access your bootloader....Sorry. Will have to look at APX mode.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phoenix573:
I would be willing to donate money to any developer that can find a solution to the unbrick type 2. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would do the same.

Does anyone know how far androidmobi are with this, apart from their april fools joke?

Can I use this tool to flash the CMW then install a custom ROM??

I am using a stock ROM .21 with out unlock the bootloader root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bikeandestroyx:
Any idea if this will work on the OG Transformer, with issue caused by ota update install on rooted system. Having the same issues as the prime..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hogarth:
I had updated to the .21 then found like many no root. I thought that running this program I could simply use full un-brick and all would be good (even after all the warnings). Well I did it and it took out my prime, so I used your prg to wipe everything. I then went to the place you can install system extracted the blob file renamed it to .img and I had my prime back with .21 rooted and everything. Thank you for posting this you saved my geek let me try things I don't know bacon. I have everything back plus!! PS I am not recommending this as a solve for away for others to root there system but it worked for me. Thank You again!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tsmt971@yahoo:
Do we need to unlock bootloader or not??

If anyone else has tried it, please share your experience. I am going to tried to root my .21 without unlocking the bootloader.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shiftlock:
if it works without unlocking the bootloader im sure the process could be refined a bit but could work
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hogarth:
Mine was unlocked. I would be very careful, I felt a little sick while doing this. I would like to have the ability to help you further but I am not a tech, sorry.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nilesf:
Can this tool be used to load 9.4.2.15/17?

Currently running 9.4.2.21 with no root method.

Can this tool be used to load 9.4.2.15/17 factory ROM? I am hoping that if this is the case then I could root pior to OTAing to 9.4.2.21.

Thanks,

Niles
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brownrt:
Something seems off here. Why hasn't the OP mentioned whether or not this was done with or without an unlocked bootloader? I say off, because clearly talk of the town is revolving around how long it is taking to root .21. Balls in your court OP....S/N 10 points to whoever swears on their mothers grave that this works with locked, .21 no root prime. 20 pts if the OP responds first.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
I have not needed this but gave a thanks anyway just cause it is an awesome tool.

Its nice to know there are still some good people in this world.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
It's not clearly said, but as the description is talking about 'using fastboot', and in second post describes the different partitions, including recovery it's quite obvious it is concerning only unlocked devices (fastboot isn't enabled on locked devices)

Oh, by the way, locked devices are not concerned by 'bricking/unbricking' stuff....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nilesf:
Link is broken

Dude, your link is broken to download WSG UnBricker.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MasterZen88:
Sorry for the late reply!

Yes this does have an unlocked bootloader pulled from my tf201 but I do not know if this can be used to flash over a locked bootloader.

No this will not be able to root .21 but it can install CWM recovery, which would allow you to flash a rooted .21 rom.....

Currently working on a new WSG_Unbricker... Hope to have it out this afternoon... Currently 7:09 AM EST.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MasterZen88:
Guess I got motivated this morning.... Up for download is WSG_UnBricker v1.0.2

Will I be a be to flash original asus .blob files again and get official updates?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beekay201:
First post isnt really clear on what the requirements are to use this, but to use fastboot, you have to be unlocked. You know what means right? Basic knowledge around here.

Meant UNlocked, sorry, typo.

So can I get back to stock with this?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sunfirex:
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.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
The reason you can't use WSG Unbricker is that you have to be in fastboot mode not ADB, if you are stuck in recovery loop then you cannot get into fastboot. It may be worth trying to install the modded CWM by Roach, but I honestly don't know if that will help.

Also, would be helpful to know which CWM you installed, as the original unofficial one for the Prime had major issues.

I would install the Roach modded version of CWM and then reinstall the ROM, hopefully that might boot you out and into a normal boot process. Possibly worth trying to install Motley's kernel as this will invoke the staging partition to be booted.

Hopefully something here might work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sunfirex:
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)

I basically get an error using fastboot to push anything other than the recovery.

Thanks for the reply, Doktaphex.

p.s. I think I was a bit confused between ADB and fastboot, as I've never really used fastboot before. But, likewise I can push recovery... can't get into it. Can't push other files without some type of an error. Even when I flash the recovery and it goes through successfully I cannot get into the recovery. It's the recovery that came with WSG, do you think I should find another recovery.img file to try?

Basically the screen I get stuck at when booting normally is the EEE Pad screen. I don't get any errors. At the top left hand corner it just says "The Device is UnLocked."

Probably should have mentioned that before.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Yikes, looks like you may be in the same situation as BoyNamedStacey. Unfortunately he and Jermaine came to the conclusion that the device is a goner until NVFlash becomes available.

That Boot error (0x4) does not look promising either. I can't really offer anything further, sorry dude.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sunfirex:
That was my thought, sadly. Guess I was just looking for confirmation.

Thanks again for the input.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bec07:
I still didn't get my answer. Can we flash official Asus .blob files with this tool?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MasterZen88:
I would advise against it. No idea if it would work or not but if you do expect a brick!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nibblet787:
Unfortunately, I'm also getting the (0x4) error for the system and bootloader partitions. I managed to get boot.img and recovery to flash without this error, however. Is the system image that comes with WSGUnbricker supposed to be over 524mb? I only ask because even the system folder in WSG 0.0.6 is only just over 300 megs.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Considering that when I do a backup of AOKP my system image is ~243MB I would suggest that a stock ASUS system image could easily be ~524MB.

The reason I say this is due to the amount of ASUS system/apps that are included.

If only ASUS released full source like Samsung have done, then we would be in a much happier boat.

Before anyone jumps in saying Samsung own their SoC and ASUS are only borrowing nVidia's, I don't care. Not a viable excuse in my mind.

I happen to agree with Adam Outler that if you are making SoC's for an open source OS, your SoC should also be as openly documented as possible.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
Metal brick turns soft?

I originally sent this as a PM to a couple of dev's but I was told I should post

as it may be interesting to the public. Here goes...

I had a small miracle happen today when my prime bricked and i was getting low on battery and desperate.

It bricked on me so hard that i could not get into recovery or fastboot. When I tried recovery it just said "Booting recovery kernel image" but nothing happened.

Trying to boot into fastboot did nothing, it just booted to splash screen again. Then, as I said i feared for battery life and put the prime in the dock (due to a faulty charger i can only charge through dock). Just for fun I tried both again, and what do you know, I got into fastboot.

I was trying to flash eos-rom (freeze at splash screen), push updated cwm through adb as advised, flashed updated cwm in recovery, reboot and BRICK.

Now I'm downloading WSG tool and humbly asking what steps you recommend, easiest way out is preferred as nerves are getting thin. I don't care what

rom, kernel or recovery I end up with, I just want to see it boot!

Thanks guys
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
Happy to announce that I am now unBricked, was able to get into fastboot and flash CWM image and AOKP boot image. I am finally on EOS and life is grand.

Actually never got the WSG-tool to work, kept getting a boot error (0x4) with everything that flashed both manual and auto. Nothing happened. But definately keeping it for a rainy day.

In this prosess of doing this I have PM'ed incredibly helpful dev's and spent hours upon hours searching and reading threads. There is no substitute for this as you pick up things you didn't know you needed all the time. Learned alot and the next time this happens I hopefully wont have that tingeling feeling in the left arm that happens just before heart attacks! :)

Thanks

I had this issue with WSG but not when I flashed them manually through fastboot, there's a solution by Swiftks (whom have been properly thanked of course) in the last post of this thread.

if its the same like boynamedstacey then he should be good. Swiftk & Jermaine got him out of it with a collaborated effort. boynamed Stacey prime is up and running again. I'd say ask them for the method they used. They are really good at figuring out how to unbrick devices.
