[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] nerve101:
Bro thank yo so much, i lost a day of sleep and half my day today before i ran into your fix and it finally worked.

I dont know what happened but between taking cwm off and putting twrp on and having your flash tool, my apx finally worked with your tool and went through.

I almost wanted to cry, thank you

---------- Post added at 05:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------

are you sure apx is installed correctly on your computer, what i did was kept printer and devices open on my computer to see if the apx system poped up and to check if it was flagged yellow or not. if it shows up but flagged yellow you need to update your drivers.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] whitekidney:
As nerve101 said make sure your APX drivers are properly installed. I will provide a guide on how to do this in a post later today.

No problem. :)

EDIT:

I forgot to say, version 0.8.2 is out, didn't post 0.8 because of some hurrdurr typos and I forgot to write recovery names in 0.8.1.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] P00t:
I installed the driver that is ibn the first post. It showed that apx was running.

If you can make a clean tutorial that would be awesome!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ImSoBored:
Thanks for the tool, but I have one problem... my TF101 doesn't boot anymore, only to APX mode, and when i click the unbrick button on your tool, it does all perfectly until it reaches the Running Wheelie part, where it just stucks at:

[+] Sending bootloader...
Sending file: 100%

It always happens, in Ubuntu, Wheelie, your tool... I don't know what to do :( I always select the SBK2 option (my TF101 is B80). My PC detects APX mode, and has the drivers. Any ideas why this is happening?

Image:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] whitekidney:
Honestly, I have no idea whats causing this.

To everyone that has been using the 0.8 version and got stuck in APX, I removed the 0.8.* versions so that I can figure out what's wrong.

To unbrick your tablet just download 0.7 and restore stock from there.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] whitekidney:
To everyone that had problems with 0.8.* download the latest version (0.8.2d) and PM / post here with the log if you are stuck in apx mode.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Hammerfest:
0.8.2c worked for me when 0.8.1a wasnt

didnt see d version a few min ago (when I used it), so ill try that out later

Thanks for a great tool! It makes experimenting with eliminating the GPT partition a breeze!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ImSoBored:
Thank you for your answer :) (I pressed Thanks button at least xD), tried the new 0.8 version still no luck. Any more ideas? :( If not, I will throw this against the wall xD.

Thanks in advance. :)

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

By the way, is there any way to know what SKU is my TF101, without entering Recovery/System/Etc, only APX mode? I'm from Spain, and I don't know my SKU. With SKU i mean, that in the Asus Support page, when downloading firmwares, it asks you for your SKU (WW, TW, US, JP, DE special...), I wanna know mines.

Thanks in advance :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] P00t:
Yeah same, I'm not sure what mine is as well ...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hedgehogmd:
I have a TF101 B80 and none of the 0.8.2b C or D would work for me. it would run like normal i see it going thru partitions format then when it finshed with partition # 15 it would kick out and say done. But it would not boot or nothing after messing with it for a couple of hours i tried 0.7.1 and it worked flawess no problems booted right up. Thanks again for all your hard work :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ImSoBored:
To all people this works except for me. :( I tried the version 0.7.1, and still no luck, now, instead of stucking at:

Sending bootloader...
Sending file 100%

It stucks at:

Using BCT: 'transformer.bct'

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hedgehogmd:
I see your using SBK2 did you try to use SBK1 with 0.7.1 and see if it would work.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] whitekidney:
TW = Taiwan | US = USA | JP = Japan | DE = Germany

WW = worldwide (any other than those above)

This is weird because I didn't change anything in these versions other than minor GUI changes and added new recoveries.

Try another computer, usb port etc, I don't know what's causing this (it's not my tool that's causing this)

Shouldn't make a difference, the asus flash/unbrick function has been the same since 0.7

EDIT:

If anyone feel like testing, this runs wheelie much earlier (shouldnt matter) and has some file checks before flashing.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/31118/EasyFlasher-0.8.3-test.zip

Test that version and see if you still get stuck in apx mode.

0.9 will feature a md5 whitelist system (it checks the file checksums before flashing so that you don't flash corrupted data) and some more cool stuff
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hedgehogmd:
Works Perfectly Fine On My TF101 B80 Does not stop at partition #15 format

finshes all the way now. Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] P00t:
gonna try again using the latest version to return to stock.

will write a feedback later.

EDIT: I'm not really sure what im doing wrong....

1. I put my device to APX mode (power + Vol Up)

2. Checked if my device was connected to my computer

3. It said it was connected to my computer with APX mode on

4. I put "WW_epaduser9_2_1_27UpdateLauncher" in "asusupdate" folder

5. ran Easy Flasher 8.2d

6. Clicked Unbrick/return to stock button

7. it was showing that everything was working correctly.

8. when the process was done, it said "DONE!" ;]

9. After it said "DONE!" nothing happened to my device.

10. waited 1-5 minutes if my device would have a response, but no

11. So I decided to just boot my device up.

12. I was still on my rooted rom(ARHD 3.5.1)

13. NO changes whatsoever.

BTW. I installed the universal driver you recommended in the 1st post.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hedgehogmd:
inside of that file is another zip file called US_epad-user-9.2.1.27.zip put that in asusupdate folder and try that.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] whitekidney:
Please try the one I linked from my dropbox

Also, if nvflash doesn't pop up something is wrong, did you run it as admin?

Use the latest one and paste the log output here from EasyFlasher.

No it doesn't matter.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ImSoBored:
Tried it, no luck. I guess you ran out of ideas. Thanks anyway :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] whitekidney:
No, because this is not a problem with my tool, it only sends the commands to wheelie/nvflash.

Bad usb cable, usb ports etc, that's my guess.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] P00t:
When I run the program, it already runs as admin.

I found out that APX mode is ejected as soon as I press the Unbrick/reutnr to stock botton..

Running the version from Dropbox.

and my usb cable is not bad, its brand new. I got this tablet not too long ago :)

EDIT: I GOT IT WORKING!!! IM ON A BLACK SCREEN WITH WORDS WITH IT!! :D

I uninstalled the APX driver then reinstalled it with the naked driver again. I guess I had a bad download and install before.

STILL IN PROCESS, HOPE I CAN RETURN TO STOCK.

Do I reboot my device after it says "DONE!"?

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] whitekidney:
Yeah you reboot after it says 'done'

Did the nvflash window pop up with numbers/test etc?

EDIT:

Saw your second edit, there we go, figured it wasn't my tool (it couldn't have been).

Anyways I'm gonna push that dropbox version to mediafire.

Enjoy.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] P00t:
Okay As I wanted to have a fresh start, I returned back to the latest stock version.

now im trying to root using your program, but i dont understand how to do it with yours. (maybe im dumb and cant follow proper instruction)

1. Opened program

2. Click Flash "Recovery(TWRP 2.2.1)"

3. Click ROOT

4. Tells me to grab the super user from "Tools" folder

5. Put it in my SD card.

and here is the question...

how do I go to recovery mode when im on stock rom?

I tried using Transformer reboot to recovery app from the market and that didnt work because my tablet is not rooted anymore.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] cbrox:
you can hold the power on tab on the left side above the volume rocker keys down until it reboots then hold the power on and volume down key down at the same time till you see the white writing on the screen then you have 5 seconds to press the volume up key to enter recovery or you will cold boot.

You can also power it off from the power menu then perform the same sequence of holding the power on and volume down key when you power it back on and select volume up when you see the writing before 5 seconds elapses and it starts its cold boot sequence
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] tkdboi:
you've made everyone's life easier!! THANKS! U DA MAN!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sstea:
Can this return stock leaving no sign of former ROM or root?

I have a rooted TF101 on a custom ROM. If I simply flash the latest V9.2.1.27 firmware will my unit be returned completely to stock with root gone? I have to return for warranty repair and I want there to be no sign that there was root or a custom ROM. I have a mechanical failure of earphone jack and I don't want them to come up with some lame excuse to charge me out of warranty.

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] whitekidney:
No problem. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SkillfulMmd:
Thank's so much for this man un-bricked my device and got me out of that annoying as hell recovery issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ewingr:
Well, I wanted to install TWRP recovery. Thought I had selected it, but apparently didn't. It installed the default one of RogueTouch.

Can I just reflash and put TWRP on? Do I need to disconnect, reboot, and put back into APX? (It currently is still attached with teh success message).

[EDIT]

I have gone ahead and rebooted, and then put back into APX and installed the TWRP recovery

But what is strange now is that I cannot shut it down. When at booted screen, I hold in the power button, and it asks if I want to shut down. I select yes, and it reboots...doesn't just shut off.

Any thoughts?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] LivioDoubleFang:
If I understand this correctly, this would work on my TF201 in getting back to the stock ROM if I did not create a backup?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SkillfulMmd:
Yup just grab the latest version of the stock ROM from the TF201 page on the ASUS website and your good to go :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] LivioDoubleFang:
You are the man!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SkillfulMmd:
If you need any help setting it up let me know as you need to set-up the APX drivers and also just a little tip make sure to run EASYFLASH as admin if your on WIN 7 or Vista (shudders)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] whitekidney:
I have the same problem. No idea what causes this.

No, do NOT use this on your TF201.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] _Pablo_:
Hi,

Could you add v3.2.0.1 roach-tf101-r1 recovery?

It could be useful for installing ARHD, because it's old recovery which can read external SD card.

I know TWRP also can, but I have problems with TWRP and don't like it.

If you will make sources public I will add it for me and other interested people.

You can find this recovery here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1213723

at the bottom of first post, under "older versions"
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Hammerfest:
team rogue recovery is built in which can access the SDCard as well... just flash it, its CWM v5.0.2.8 (touch IIRC), no need for such an old version
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] achandler2:
Took me forever to find out APX mode was Power + VolumeUP, but after that this tool saved my tablet!!!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] patmann03:
Holy cow thank you thank you. I worked on this for 9 hours straight, no sleep, until I found your thread. Thank you so much!!!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] whitekidney:
No problem. :)

The next version will not reformat the tablet by default, instead it will only flash the boot/app (kernel/system) partitions.

A menu for more "advanced" users will also be added so you can flash individual partitions without formatting the tablet (deleting userdata).

Will look something like this.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] therealWilmy:
Are you planning to get this working on the TF101G? If not, do you know of a tool for it that does the same as this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jeffrey567:
I'm am new and my tab screen is dead so I want to use HDMI but the build I have doesn't support audio so what if I put the latest nightly instead of the Asus firmware will it flash it....if not any way I could with a dead acreen ( I tried goo manager and cwm it would reboot but wouldn't update) thanks in advance:D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] whitekidney:
Sorry, but as long as the SBK for the TF101G remains a secret, then no.

No sorry, it has to be a official ASUS update.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SnakyTheToops:
HI !

My TF101 boot-loop on the Asus Eee Pad logo. I cannot enter Recovery mode. I try this tool with SBK1 and SBK2 option but it doesn't work. The SBK1 seems to do somethings (DOS windows with text and counters). The SBK2 option is to quick to do something...

Could someone help me please ?

Regards
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kjb434:
How does the unzip process take?

EasyFlasher seems to be stuck on unzipping the ROM. Using the official ASUS stock ROM.

The process worked fine yesterday, but my tablet won't boot all (except for going into APX mode).

Is there a way I could place the ROm already unzipped in a folder for EasyFlasher to access?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fohdeesha:
Guys, anyone out there, I need some serious help. I've tried everything, and searched everywhere.

I purchased a perfect condition tf101 (b90) from someone who told me it worked perfectly fine since they got it, running honeycomb, but when they did the ICS update, it would no longer boot past the asus spinning circle booting screen. Easy fix I thought, I'll use easyflasher and re-flash the ics update. If that doesn't work, I'll flash over clockworkmod and install a custom rom

Well, I've tried everything, and I think the flash memory on the tablet is bad :( Which would mean he lied to me, there is no way honeycomb could have been running fine.

Easyflasher successfully flashes stock ics, it will successfully flash recoveries. APX mode on the tablet works great, recovery mode works great. However no matter what I flash, it won't boot into it.

In recovery, no matter which recovery I use, I can't flash roms. It will give an installation aborted error about when it gets to flashing stuff over to /system or /data. When I use CWM to format /data, it takes AGES, and sometimes will just freeze and I have to turn the tablet off.

Like I said Easyflasher works great, but it takes forever on partition 15 (see screenshot). Maybe two minutes. It eventually gets past it and starts copying blobs and finishes successfully, but it stops on 15 and takes a while. Then of course when I boot the tablet, it stays on the ASUS booting screen with the spinning circle forever, does not boot. I even tried flashing honeycomb. Same thing.

Does this sound like bad memory to you guys? :( I don't know what else to try, I guess I just want to hear confirmation this is bad memory and I've been lied to before I deal with trying to sell this thing :(

Here's where it pauses for two minutes (it eventually moves past and finishes successfully) - http://i.imgur.com/2iBG3.png

If this is bad memory, there's not way to partition around that is there? I can't assign the system or data partition to somewhere else? Also tried the superwipe script, freezes when it gets to /data
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fohdeesha:
please help :(

edit: it's /data that's causing all the issues. Superwipe can format everything until it gets to /data, which it then freezes. Nothing can write to or format or mount /data. It seems its similar to the encryption problem, but even encrypted /data partitions can be formatted, whereas mine can't. very frustrated!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] whitekidney:
If SBK1 has "text and counters" then it should be working.

If the process completes then it should have formatted & flashed successfully.

Hmm, weird. A new version is coming out soon which lets you format individual partitions etc. I'll see what more I can do.

Hmm, as of now? No, it waits for the 7zip process to be killed before it continues.

Running it as admin? Enough space on HDD? Try throwing it in your Documents folder or somewhere not on the root of your hdd.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] fohdeesha:
after some more digging and consulting with a friend who writes embedded firmware for a living, the emmc has some bad blocks, and like all other ****ty onboard flash implementations, the FTL (flash translation layer) is failing to report and map out those bad blocks to the system.

If I can manage to use nvflash or your tool to manually map the partitions, assuming I can find where the bad blocks are, I can partition around the bad blocks so no partition contains them. However that would be a lot of work and I don't have the time, so I'm going to put the damn thing on ebay. Anyone want it? Brand new condition, a few bad blocks that can be partitioned around. $100?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] reisa:

This could not have been much simpler! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Saved my TF101 after I became a victim of "recovery loop" after I had booted to recovery from ROM Manager. Thanks again!

No problem. :)

New version should be out soon.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] DesireC:
You just saved my sorry ass. My TF101 was sitting in storage for 6 months or so and I thought it was a lost cause, couldn't even get the screen on, neither Windows nor Ubuntu could find it in NVFlash, etc.. I replaced it with a Nexus 7 and later decided to dig it out and give it one last try and bam, it's on stock ICS as I type and I'm going to up it to Paranoid soon. Thanks a lot.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Adrian.Chandra:
Thanks

Thanks whitekidney you just make my day...

My asus transformer (with broken volume down button) suddenly go to recovery boot loop, so i cannot do cold boot and get to OS.

Getting apx driver installed and working but 'adb devices' always return blank almost give up but i tried your easyflasher and with just 1 click replace the old cwm recovery with rouge touch 1.5 and now my transformer is back alive again.... XD

Thanks again
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chappatti:
For the tool to work, you need to have a stock rom in the "Asus Update folder" . The Rom must be named Asus Stock.zip, and the device must be in APX mode with driver installed on Windows.....

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] paulsg63:
So I went and backed up my TF101 using Touch CW.. It has been working fine. Until now.. now, I can load roms and restore roms and backup roms... but once I reboot, it just goes back to the Touch Recovery screen. Never loads the Rom.. I can get it to attempt to load, by hitting the down vol button while coming up. Then letting the android start, it will go through the initial splash screen.. but then it just hangs, on any rom I load.

So, I tried this easy flasher.. the problem is the only two modes this unit will go into is the Touch Recovery screen, or hanging splash screen... so I can never get into APX mode.

Anyone have this issue?

Lil help!!

I did search for this issue, didn't see anything quite like this. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] NORCALkID:
Are you using the touch recovery that comes with the clockwork mod app?... I've heard that this recovery has caused a bunch of issues.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] whitekidney:
Hold your horses, new version is coming fairly soon, I haven't tested the advanced flash feature, but it should work, nothing wrong with the code.

The new version will also have a recovery bootloop stuck fix.

EDIT: 0.9 beta is up, please test and give feedback, also remember to take backups before testing the new features.
