[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdanders:
Hi, my wife's stock TF101 went into a boot loop last night that I can't get it to break out of after multiple cold boot attempts. I also tried doing a factory reset but that gives me the sad android guy on his back (same thing when I try to boot to recovery).

I've installed tons of custom roms over the years and am generally quite knowledgeable when it comes to android, but I'm stuck on this issue (and I'm starting to wonder if my eMMC is faulty or something).

The good news is that I can get into APX mode and use nvflash

I've downloaded both the .24 and .27 firmware updates from asus and tried to to a reflash using wheelie and I keep getting the same error (I've tried this via windows and linux)

My formats and downloads go through successfully each time but then I get these errors:

failed executing command 25 NvError 0x120002

command failure: sync failed (bad data)

bootloader status: Bct Write Failed (code: 22) message: nverror:0x40005 (0x14000

5) flags: 0

I've been googling them all morning with no luck and any help would be greatly appreciated

Here's the full output from reflash:
