You need to have your bootloader unlocked for this to work.

1: Download Fastboot for your tablet Fastboot

2: Download this firmware JB 10.4.2.20

3: Put your tf300t into fastboot mode by holding the power and volume down button while powering on. Volume down to the USB image if it is there. then volume up. (If there is no USB image, don't worry)

4: Open CMD

5: Type the command "fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob"

this will take a few minutes then

6: Type "fastboot reboot"

after that you should be unbricked

So I've tried this multiple times now and my tablet just freezes. I then have to hard boot it to get back into fastboot. I noticed when I do "fastboot getvar all" my bootloader appears to be locked, "(bootloader) unlocked: no". I'm wondering if that is the reason why I am unable to flash anything to my tablet. Any help is much appreciated!

This isn't working for me... How long should "sending system" take?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc21:
Sounds like you have the fastboot flash brick.

This is most likely caused by flashing a non-4.2 version of twrp recovery or any version of cwm recovery on a JB 4.2 bootloader, 10.6.1.8 or 10.6.1.15.3

If this is the case the only solution for this so far is to replace the motherboard.

Even with an unlocked device the getvar command will show "unlocked: no"

---------- Post added at 01:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

Sending system should take a few minutes (maybe up to 5 minutes) and should then begin to "write system"

The whole process of flash system blob should take no longer than 10 minutes.

I'm pretty sure I had 2.5.5 TWRP on there which I thought was compatible for the 4.2 bootloader. It wouldn't really let me do anything and I ended up erasing it in hopes to re-flash which didn't work. I've read through so many other posts that are having the exact same issue. I ended up breaking down and buying a new motherboard though since that appeared to be the only fix at this moment. My tablet is originally the 16GB model and I bought a 32GB motherboard. There shouldn't be any reason that wouldn't work right? Either way I appreciate the response and the info on the getvar command as well.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
Thing is, there are three versions of TWRP 2.5.0.0: one for the ICS bootloader (-ics.blob), one for the 4.1 OTA bootloader (-jb.blob), and the one you needed for the 4.2 OTA bootloader (-42.blob).

Flashing either the -jb or -ics recoveries will brick a tablet that's on the 4.2 bootloader.

Yes, it's very confusing. Blame ASUS. It pays to be careful and only flash if you're 100% sure it's safe.

i cant get in fastboot mode. i can only get in apx mode after i get in apx mode my pc identify my device Asus TransformerPrime APX interface but i'm not using a Prime i'm using TF300T.

How do i bricked my tablet?

When my tablet is working good. I closed it and opened with power button + volüme down button after this a menu came with 4 options first one is RCK I choosed it and i reboot my device with power button and my device bricked. What can i do now?

BTW: Sry for my grammer :confused:
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc21:
Sounds like your on a JB 4.1 bootloader as you had the 4 icons in bootloader screen/menu whereas JB 4.2 bootloaders only have 3 icons.

Is your device unlocked?

Did you have a custom recovery installed (twrp or cwm)? When you selected the "RCK" what did it boot to - what did it look like?

If you try hold vol- & power what happens?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChipMChunk:
Yes i'm on a jb 4.1.

Yes i unlocked it with asus bootloader unlocker.(or something like this downloaded from Asus)

I installed CWM. When I selected RCK, something written on the top of the screen but it is normal I think. After that I closed my device cuz' i got panic.

If i press power+vol- it just restart itself and keep stucking on Asus Logo but i can get in APX mode.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc21:
So you can't get the bootloader screen at all.

When it restarts which Asus screen are seeing?

Splash screen - the one with "the device is unlocked" in top left of screen and asus logo

Bootanimation screen - the one with asus logo and spinning progess circle underneath

If your seeing the bootanimation screen you may be able to use adb command to reboot to bootloader.

Will this work if my tablet has twrp 2.3.3.0 and when I go into the bootloader I get those 3 icons instead of 4?

---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

Do you have to be on android 4.1 for it to work?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc21:
If you only 3 icons in bootloader menu sounds like your on a 4.2 bootloader - flashing a non-4.2 TWRP (like 2.3.3.0) in about 90% of cases will cause a fastboot flash brick.

Check what bootloader your on - boot to bootloader menu (vol- & power) and look at the text in top left, your bootloader version number is there.

What recovery to flash for bootloader version: example for TF300T model.

If current bootloader = 10.4.2.9 - JB 4.1 - recovery to flash = TWRP "openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-JB.blob" or CWM

If current bootloader = 10.4.2.13 - JB 4.1 - recovery to flash = TWRP "openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-JB.blob" or CWM

If current bootloader = 10.4.2.17 - JB 4.1 - recovery to flash = TWRP "openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-JB.blob" or CWM

If current bootloader = 10.4.2.18 - JB 4.1 - recovery to flash = TWRP "openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-JB.blob" or CWM

If current bootloader = 10.4.2.20 - JB 4.1 - recovery to flash = TWRP "openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-JB.blob" or CWM

If current bootloader = 10.6.1.8 - JB 4.2 - recovery to flash = ONLY TWRP "openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2.blob" - flashing a non-4.2 version of TWRP or any version of CWM will brick device. Also flashing 2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2 on the 10.6.1.8 bootloader results in a split-screen issue.

If current bootloader = 10.6.1.15.3 - JB 4.2 - recovery to flash = ONLY TWRP "openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob" - flashing a non-4.2 version of TWRP or any version of CWM will brick device. Not sure if 2.4.4.0-tf300t-4.2 works on 10.6.1.15.3 bootloader.

If you have flashed an incorrect recovery to a 4.2 bootloader there is about a 90% chance that you are now fastboot flash bricked. Meaning that some fastboot commands will still work but the flash command will just freeze that tablet.

To confirm if you have fastboot flash brick - when you attempt to flash recovery via fastboot everything will seem to go ok on the command prompt but you will not see the blue progress bar on the tablet when flashing, the reboot command will not reboot the tablet after the flash command & nothing will have flashed to the tablet. No solution so far but to replace the motherboard.

And no you can be on any JB bootloader version and flash any JB system blob version. ie. If your on JB 4.2 - 10.6.1.15.3 bootloader, you can boot to fastboot and flash JB 4.1 - 10.4.2.20 system blob and vice-verse. It's just making sure you flash the correct recovery version on the correct bootloader.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc21:
You can try but if you already flashed an incorrect recovery you may have the fastboot flash brick, so can only try and see.

Hey thanks for this. I wish a read it before bricking my tablet. :eek: How do you know all that? And do you know if there will be a solution in the short term for this except replacing motherboard? Thanks!
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HolySid:
Edit: For me the following solution worked (I bricked my tablet by flashing CWM JB instead of the 4.2 version, causing my tablet to automatically boot into recovery where I could not access my sdcard. Running 'adb reboot bootloader' loaded the fastboot mode, but flashing itself made my tablet freeze).

Boot (automatically) into CWM

adb reboot bootloader

Volume down, Volume up (boot Android)

adb push ~/Downloads/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob /sdcard/twrp.blob

adb shell

$ su

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 bs=100 count=1

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=16 count=1

# reboot

Boot (automatically) into Android

adb shell

$ su

# dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

# reboot

Now my tablet automatically boots Android.

I can access TWRP & fastboot the normal way.

The only error I have is that TWRP 2.6 fails to get the partition sizes of boot & recovery. I suspect this to be a TWRP 2.6 bug. 2.5 works fine

[source] http://www.android-hilfe.de/root-cu...-tf201-tf300t-tf300tg-tf700-unbrick-tool.html (German)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wombat6:
You do that when android was loaded and your tablet is connected to PC ?

After the first reboot, for what is this ?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HolySid:
Yup, the device is connected to my laptop (running Debian GNU/Linux).

I guess you reflect to the dd parts, I can tell you what they do, but not exactly why it works. The (German) website I added to the post suggested using it.

dd copies count blocks of bs bytes each from the input file if to the output file of. /dev/zero is like an infinite source of null characters (0x00). So it kinda 'erases' the bytes. I'll show you the bytes it overwrites:

# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 bs=100 count=1

-SIGNED-BY-SIGNBLOB-MSM-RADIO-UPDATE<<S0SL0u

# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=16 count=1

boot-recovery

So I think it disables the current recovery (mmcblk0p4) and disables running the recovery at boot (mmcblk0op3), which would make your device boot like normal again.

But this is just a guess on how it could work.

Thanks to you, this was the solution I was looking for weeks. :good::good:

I'm on bootloader 10.6.1.8, I tried TWRP 2.5.0.0 -4.2 and I got a Split Screen in, then tried 2.4.4.0 -4.2 and now it works.

Your bootloader should be fine (you could check the specific thread just to be sure). Also, as far as I know you won't notice any real difference in TWRP 2.4.4 or 2.5/2.6, so just go ahead and enjoy!

Don't think you can. Each device has a very limited, basic set of buttons. I tried adding the control pod for my logitech speakers, and it basically had on/off, and volume. Despite the fact that while selecting the device code, it provided me a list of input sources to choose from and was able to correctly switch between them, it then did not provide this input switching on the virtual remote itself.

For the half hour or so that I played around with WatchOn, my impression of it was: it's a very clunky, poorly designed, poorly executed app. The result of guessing what level of functionality the users want, rather than actually researching how users would expect to be able to use the app.

Ok, talk to me like I'm an idiot about this stuff, because apparently I am.

I decided to root using chainfire autoroot, and that was successful, aside from a couple weird things like my UCCW widgets suddenly not stretching fully across the desktop, and what seemed like some new lag. I then flashed slimbean. My contacts didn't restore from google or anywhere, and my sd card seemed to be having problems. I then decided to flash blue kaban or whatever, and that straight up wouldn't boot. However, at that point my sd card fully stopped working, and that is the place I had the slimbean zip. So I did not have a working rom on my phone.

So what I decided to do was unroot and start from scratch. I used the method in this video on youtube by qbking

The result is that my wifi is not working and I have a persistent notification that says Prevention information the device has detected an application attempting etc.

Also software version is MDL, Baseband version is MDL, and Build number is MDC. I was under the impression that they would all be MDC and it would automatically push the MDL but apparently I suck.

My ultimate goal is get back to pure out-of-the-box stock so I can start the rooting process over and try flashing something stable again. But abviously the most important thing right now is to get the wifi working and (I think) the Basbeband and build numbers to match. But I don't know. Please help me. Please. I beg of thee.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] BrainsGambino:

I've got the same problem after flashing back to stock from some rom. Would you mind telling me how you got the wifi to work and that notification to go away? I'm not getting an update.

Did the SD card problem happen afterwards? Did you do a factory reset and delete data before you reflashed it? Sometimes when you flash over a partial thing system apps get corrupted.

I have actually performed this and had this happen a few times. What I have found thay it does on some devices is will not properly install random MDL firmware(Saw MDL Firmwares In Settings Still Being Reported). So what I found to be the proper steps for me is before installing any ODIN tarballs thatcare firmware based besides rec9eries are to boot into Recovery and wipe "System, Data, Dalvik, Cache and Preload(Dont Know Why All Of Those) then immediately reboot into Download Mode, install tarball and then when it reboots I go ahead and let it go into recovery and do what it wanrs and when it reboots from stock recovery I hold vokume down to go into download mode and if it says Samsung Official/Official for both options then you are set but if not then I reinstall tarball while I am already in Download Mode again. It happens literally every time I ODIN back to bone stock. I have had to do it at the most 2 extra times after the initial ODIN install.

Now, I also do go ahead and after initial install of tarball go into OS and if I dont have working wifi then I go ahead and do an FDR while I am in the OS just in case even though should helo whatsoever lol then start going to download mode to check Recovery and Software Status.
