[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brick3d:
Welcome to the comprehensive guide on rooting and unbricking your precious TF103C!

Some words of wisdom and truth

You will most likely be here because, you know, your device is bricked.

First of all, I would like to say that none of the downloadable links are made by me. I happened to find them laying around XDA after looking for a solution for a long time.

Skip this if you don't want to know the reason behind this thread

I got this device a while back (my guess is 4 months), and loved it from the start. Rooted it, of course, and soon after, it didn't want to boot anymore.

As there isn't much development going on (due to the locked bootloader), it's hard to find a solution for bricking. While scrolling, I came upon a post from member gouster3, which came to the solution below. I myself have used this successfully, and have my tablet back. In my opinion, also on rooting, there was no dedicated thread available that really explained the steps to root the device, so as a thank you to the guys who got my tablet fixed, here it is! :)

The rooting process

The rooting of this tablet is quite easy, really! I'll explain in a few simple steps.

Head into settings > security > then turn on unknown sources

Download the Rootzenfone .apk file. get it here

Install the app (if it is still in your notification bar you can just press the downloaded file, or you can navigate to it's location to install from there)

Turn on airplane mode before you open the app

Open the app, and hit "OK, I know, please root!" (when you press this, a number of screens and a popup will show, ignore those)

5 seconds after pressing, restart your tablet.

Hooray! You are now rooted!

Unbricking your device

Luckily, unbricking is almost as easy as rooting the phone, if you know the steps you have to follow. Here's what you could do (it worked for me) if you still have acces to DROIDboot.

As always, install the adb drivers first! get it here

# You can also make sure the correct driver is installed when plugging in the device in DROIDboot mode. In you device manager it should show up as Android Debug Bridge#

Download these files, containing a clean system. get it here

Make sure the device is turned off, and the battery is at least 50% (just to ensure a complete flash before your battery runs out)

Hold volume+ and power untill the asus screen pops up, then release the power button.

Plug in the tablet to your pc (usb cable) when DROIDboot has been loaded.

Open the downloaded folder, and find 'update_image.bat'

Right click the .bat file, and choose 'run as administrator'

A CMD screen should open on your PC indicating the flashing status. All you have to do now (assuming that it works as intended) is wait untill the process is completed.

Your tablet will reboot automatically when the process is done.

That's it! the 2 things that keep this tablet alive. I would like to send a thanks to the members who were so kind to help me out on this.

gouster3, for providing the link to the unbrick solution

Eclipse00, for giving the link to the rootzenfone apk

Monki, for giving me a clean system.img and putting effort into getting my tablet running again

To all of you, thanks!
