By unlocked do you mean rooted?

I was able to get su access through a program called kingo root, it claimed to be able to root the tf300t and grant su privs, it didn't root it though and installed some bloatware (security app?) which was easy to get rid of (it seems so far anyway)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berndblb:
No by unlocked I mean bootloader unlocked. Obviously you are not so you cannot do any of the stuff mentioned in this thread. If all you want to do is wipe data, just do a factory reset from Settings. You can also reflash the Asus firmware (just google it: Manually flash Asus Transformer). But that's about what you can do on a locked bootloader.

Same question: Are you unlocked?

If yes you need to give us way more info than you did up there......

Then this thread is pretty useless to you. The locked bootloader will not allow you to flash anything on fastboot.

If you're lucky you can just flash the official firmware in stock recovery. Have a look at this: http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...e-firmware-tf101-tf201-tf300-tf700-tf701.html

If that does not work your options are few. Check out this thread for all the crazy sh... we tried to get past the locked bootloader - so far unsuccessful

I have flashed the 3 stock roms available and no change to rck or wireless.

Is there anyway to connect the tf300t to the internet without wireless?

How would I unlock the bootloader without giving it direct access to the internet?

its the /data partition i want to rewrite (I'm sure there is some corruption in it for rck and wireless to be broken) but its protected
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berndblb:
What do you mean: RCK is broken?

Does the tablet boot into Android?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rathnar:
Yes everything except wireless and rck work fine.

When you volume down and power button into fastboot mode it shows rck, android and wipe data.

Android and wipe data work fine but when I volume up on RCK it shows the android fallen over and it stays like that until I reboot it.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berndblb:
That is perfectly normal and the way the stock recovery is supposed to work. It's designed for only one thing: Look for an Asus signed update file and flash it (well - and performing the wipe data). If it doesn't find a valid file what you see is the result. Works as intended.

So you used the Wipe Data from the bootloader menu already with no result?

I don't know who told you non-functioning WiFi had anything to do with the data partition, but I doubt that very much. Settings, passwords will be stored in /data but the core functionality is in /system or the wifi modules of the kernel.

You cannot connect to the web without the rom booting.

With the bootloader locked, only stock recovery installed, the rom not booting and no root you have two things you can do:

Wipe Data from the bootloader

Install Asus firmware through stock recovery.

That's it.

What do you mean by: I flashed the 3 stock roms available???? How? Which ones?

In your situation you can only fash the same firmware you had installed already or a later update. How can you have flashed 3 versions????

I'd love to help you get this thiing up and running again, but if you don't go into a lot more detail about what you did, what your situation is, which firmware you are on etc etc, I'll give up....
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rathnar:
Alrighty!

From http://www.asus.com/au/supportonly/ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T/HelpDesk_Download/

I downloaded the three worldwide version roms (ww).

Version WW_V10.6.1.27.1

Version WW_V10.6.1.15.3

Version WW_V10.6.1.27.5

When the tablet automatically updated from 3 to 5 the wireless stopped working.

I only noticed the rck crashing after trying to fix the wireless.

After doing all the erase commands the previous versions of android worked fine.

Otherwise it complained about missing stuff.

I was going through this process and got to fastboot the blob file . It hung up about 3/4 of the way installing. I let it sit over night but the battery died and so has my TF300t. I've charged it until the start button turned green but doing everything I've read, power/volume down, hold the power button down forever, etc. Still nothing comes up on the screen. Blank. I believe this is a brick. Any ideas?

booit.ko requires adb in recovery. You need to have the drivers installed on your PC and then hope that you can get an adb connection before the tablet reboots. If it constantly reboots, you could be out of luck. But give it a try

Thanks! you partially saved my tft, the restarts have stopped and now I can go to bootloader, but twrp never loads it crashes. The last thing that I did in TWRP was "disable MTP" after disabling MTP I could never go into TWRP, I have reflashed the last TWRP and I cannot go into it. help and thanks again!

I have no ROM and no SD, because I format my tablet, I wanted to install katniss android 6.0 and I was in 4.1, so it was reccomended to format/data.

So now, I only have bootloader and twrp that crashes(after disabling MTP in TWRP)

Follow the steps in post 12 to reflash the tablet with stock firmware. Boot it up and make sure it works, then flash TWRP, format data, convert to f2fs and flash the rom
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makarboy:
If I reflash the tablet will I have to unlock de device again to go to bootloader?

and... where can I download the stock firmware?

sorry if my questions are too obvious but I really do not know.

No, once unlocked you stay unlocked. Get the firmware from Asus Support Downloads
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makarboy:
Before the brick, I changed to f2fs, will I have problems flashing the stock firmware?. Should I change back from f2fs to the previous?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berndblb:
A very good question - never had that case before, but my guess would be that installing the stock blob formats every partition to it's default. But it wouldn't hurt to change data back to ext4 certainly....

You found the stock blob? http://www.asus.com/Tablets/ASUS_Transformer_Pad_TF300T/HelpDesk_Download/
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makarboy:
I haven't downloaded yet because I do not know which one is my firmware. There are: Only for JP SKU, Only for CN SKU,Only for WW SKU,Only for US SKU. My guess is the that JP = japan, CN = china, WW= worldwide, US =USA. SO I am spanish, I guess that my firmware is WW right?

So my next question is, how could I change to ext4 in fasboot?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbdags:
Yes WW.

Change it back to ext4 in TWRP as you did when converting it to F2FS or you can just change /data back to EXT4 from fastboot on a PC using:

fastboot erase userdata

And if that fails:

Although you will need to be in recovery for this

adb shell
make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makarboy:
The problem is that my recovery loads for 5-6 seconds the TWRP logo and the device restarts. (I have reflashed the recovery and it keeps doing this) That means that I only have 5-6 seconds adb. So maybe I will need more than 5 seconds to change to ext4 in adb, that would be too risky. I only have fastboot.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbdags:
And fastboot flashing a new recovery doesn't help? Try wiping the misc partition as well form fastboot first.

fastboot erase misc
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makarboy:
Finally! I am in stock ROM, it was not needed to change back to ext4. I just followed post 12.

One last question I have no sd, where should I PUSH the 6.0 ROM after formatting by fotmat/data in the internal storage?

adb push ROM.zip /data/media/0/ ?¿?¿?¿?

adb push ROM.zip /data/local ¿?¿??¿

adb push ROM.zip /sdcard0/ Ç?¿?¿??¿

adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ ?¿?¿?¿

I'm in a tough spot. Hoping someone can help, but after searching XDA from top to bottom, it's not looking promising.

I was following Buster's instructions to erase everything and reflash the stock system. All was going great, until it hung about 3/4 of the way through flashing the blob. It was frozen for a good 30 minutes, so I (stupidly) restarted the tablet. I thought I would have a chance to run the process again.

Boy, was I wrong. Now the device is stuck in APX mode. No fastboot. No ADB. There is no screen (just black). I did nvflash years ago, but I don't have any of those files backed up (including the seemingly important & unique BIN file). So, I can't use the wheelie & nvflash method. How bricked is my Transformer Prime???

Hoping for some help...

So i've managed to get my tf300t stuck in the bootloader also.

I was following the procedures for installing cyanogenmod from https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_tf300t, when the tablet stopped responding to commands and now repeats that "can't mount sd card", and other reports to this effect. I've been able to use the recovery options and adb commands, as the CWM recovery seems to functions. I cannot, however, push or sideload a rom. I've tried remounting data media and the emmc, but I receive errors in this also. I've tried flashing over TWRP, but fastboot will get stuck on the "sending ...." part. Other fastboot commands sometimes work. I couldn't, for example, erase the system, but could use fastboot getvar all.

Is there any hope for resolving this issue and flashing over a rom, whether it be stock or custom?

Please and Thank you for your help!

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebonit:
After reading your report I think you are close to brick your tablet. It's good that adb and fastboot works. So there is a chance to get your tablet back on stock rom. That's what I recommend to you to do firstly. Because you are a junior member here is a short instruction:

"Download “Minimal ADB & Fastboot”. Make a folder C:/Fastboot and extract it there and install it. Download firmware WW_V10.6.1.27.5 from the ASUS official website and unzip it twice. Copy the .blob file from WW_V10.6.1.27.5 into the folder C:/Fastboot.

Open “Minimal ADB and Fastboot” and put in "fastboot devices". The device should appear as "xxx device".

Now type in step by step (wait after every step!):

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase misc

fastboot erase data

fastboot erase cache

After that open C:\Flash and put in "fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob" without " " .

Now it takes a while "sending..." appears then "write..." and the load status will be shown.

If loading is finished put in "fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot". It takes a while to start into a clean JB 4.2.2!"

After that you are free to flash any recovery and custom rom.
