So, I have CyanogenMod 7.0.3 Stable flashed in my Legend, and it's been working just fine. Until couple days ago when I made some theme changes through Theme Chooser and flashed some theme add-ons. Now the phone is acting just stupidly. It's in a bootloop (sometimes loops in HTC bootscreen, sometimes in the CyanogenMod bootscreen), usb connectivity doesn't work (fastboot usb works, adb/mass storage etc. doesn't). I have tried to wipe the phone and flash that rom/recovery again through fastboot, but fastboot says "remote: not allowed" or something like that. Bootloader works, fastboot works, even recovery works but it's no use 'cause adb driver doesn't recognize the phone.
Please guys, help me. What should I do to get my phone running again? (working CyanogenMod or even a stock without root, I don't care, I just want this thing up and running again)
EDIT: And the weird thing is, that couple times I was able to boot the phone normally using recovery by just sticking the usb cable into the phone. And also, couple times I was able to boot it normally by just using fastboot reboot (I was able to get to the HTC Setup screen and then it would crash and show just black screen with notification bar)
It's possible the you're USB bricked. A quick search of "USB unbrick" should bring the required thread to light (search in development)

Yeah, I have thought of that! Only problem is that how am I supposed to get the required files (flash_image and .img) to SD card without a way to manage SD card? Can I flash the image using fastboot?
I can't do it inside the phone 'cause I'm in a bootloop and can't boot the phone.
EDIT: Is there a chance to do a wipe and flash a new rom using only fastboot or something?
In theory you can flash without recovery, but only if you're S-OFF. You'll need the ROM in .img format too.
I used a microSD to SDCard reader to transfer the files., they're fairly cheap in high street stores. Or borrow a friends Android phone

Well, am I able to flash those files once they are in the SD card? I mean with S-ON cause I don't have S-OFF?
Or is my phone a complete brick? =( Cause I'm pretty much all out of ideas..
Once you've got the files needed for a USB unbrick on your SD card you'll be fine
if you have recovery access did you try to make apply update from SD card in order to pass in cwm recovery.
if you got a USB brick you can use a multifonction printer to mount your SD on your computer.
So in a nutshell, my problems are:
- My Legend is in a bootloop
- Apparently my phone is USB bricked cause only fastboot works
- I don't have a recovery, when I go manually into recovery (recovery -> POWER + VOL UP) it goes into stock recovery
- And also my phone is S-ON
Could you guys point me into the right direction with this, I really want my phone back working. What should I do?
When you get to the stock recovery, navigate to ans select "flash update.zip from SDcard" That should get you to ClockworkMOD. Once there you'll need to use ADB to push the files required for the USB unbrick procedure to the SDcard (adb push [files-on-pc] /sdcard/) You should no be able to perform the the USB unbrick.
You may need your phone plugged into a PC for it to boot

But I'm getting this blue recovery screen with only four options instead of the original green one including option to flash zip. So wtf has happened?
EDIT: In the blue recovery screen it says Can't open cache/recovery/command. And when I choose "apply sdcard:update.zip" it says "signature verification failed" and it aborts the installation.
Fakeflash.

So I am able to flash roms only using this menu? Am I correct? Just do a wipe and apply update.zip?
Why does it say "verification failed" then?
EDIT: Oh I see, I have to download fake-flash update.zip and apply update.zip takes me to the clockwork recovery? When I put the update.zip to the SD card and apply it, then it should go on with out any "verification failed" errors?

My main priority is just to get the phone to run normally again, I can worry about the USB Unbrick later. So I just want to do a full wipe and flash Cyanogenmod again. Am I able to do all that is required to run the phone again normally with fakeflash?
Thanks in advance TheGrammarFreak, I really appreciate your help!
The phone won't run normally until you do a USB unbrick.
One of the things that happens with this USB brick is that a flag for advanced debugging gets set. It's a very deep setting, and the setting is read ad the HBOOT level. If this flag is set to on (like it is in a USB brick) the phone will not boot unless it's plugged into a computer. Remember that
In order to get your phone back I believe you will need to plug your phone into the PC and turn it on. It should boot, if not you will need to get to recovery and wipe/reflash (you'll need to do this while plugged into a PC too). Once you have a running system/you're in recovery you can use ADB to push the files needed for a USB unbrick to your SD card.
Assuming you got that far, you should be in a prime position to follow the USB unbrick procedure.
I'm going away tomorrow for a week, and I will not be online at all. If you need more help you will need to get someone else in. That said, I believe that with the information in this thread, the USB unbrick thread, the fakeflash thread and Google you have enough information and help top fix your phone

Sup guys, im really desesperate, today i rooted mi motorola xt316 spice key, so i deleted some apps for a better performance, but now the screen is black, i can view the notificaction bar and the lock screen but its all, what can i do? i searched for one rom and i found nothing, do u guys have a rom or something? ohh and i already do a hard reset.. still the same, please help
What apps had you deleted?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
well i dont remember exactly, but i deleted ones of motorola, u know the widget time, and others. i dont remeber exacly, damn:s
Black screen.. I think you have deleted the launcher
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
any suggestion?:S
Is your phone set up with an android market account? I've actually had this problem before and what you do is just install a launcher from the android market and it automatically installs on your phone and it should work perfectly. I still recommend you should reinstall the apps you lost because if you factory reset your phone it will be just as you described. hope it helps!
No , i cant login in with my account, i reset the phone with the factory reset, and when i turn it on, i cant connect with the google servers.
Have someone text you a link to the apk of a launcher, when you get the notification click the download link and when it finished downloading select the download from the notification bar. It'll prompt you to install. If you don't have unknown sources checked then it'll ask you to turn that option on. Once you have a launcher installed then your phone will function properly (depending on what you removed) until you can get the stock rom flashed.
Our you can go straight to the flashing part. Find a rom - stock if you'd like - and flash it. There should be some kind of stock flasher available if there aren't any roms, like an RUU or something... I think RUUs are only for HTC devices, but there should be something similar for your device.
If your phone has a subforum here on XDA, check there for stock or custom roms.

thanks for the response, i have a question; the launcher can be installed via adb?, im gonna try your solution first.
Well I tried the message metod and I apparently delete the default browser, so I tried to install pro launcher via adb but the cmd command says offline device, i think is because the usb debugging is off?, i cant activate it because the screen is black:S
Just flash your rom via Odin. It safer and easy
Odin? what is that? its compatible with the motolola spice key xt316? thanks for the response.
The problem is i cant put my phone in usb debugging because the screen is black, is there another method?
boot ur phone in recovery mode,
this does not need usb-debugging to be On,
and u can use adb...
worth to try
thanks dude im gonna try now.
I put my phone in recovery mode, and i plug the phone to my pc,but when i type adb devices, it doesnt appear.
in the recovery mode there is this options:
reboot system now
apply update from sd card
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
download nb0 from sd card
when i tried to install using the adb install comand it says error: device not found

ya i think i know why
its the USB drivers for hboot
u need to install drivers for the phone (hboot drivers)
so the machine recognize the phone when plugged
--- or ---
u can get the apk and pack it as an update.zip file (google this to find out how)
then use the option (apply update from sd card)
i think this will install the apk

Hi everyone,
Well I'm in that freak out stage.... where I am sure some of you have been.
Heres my issue...
I have a transformer prime that;
I just unrooted using Vipermod
Then did a factory reset
Now I am stuck in CWM recovery
I attempted to do a restore but after it gets done it brings me back into the recovery
I attempted to ADB but the command prompt opens and closes right away ( I assume from not being in USB debugging, which I cant get into without a rom)
I have no rom's currently downloaded into the prime as I just wiped everything in there as well.
Please i'll gladly pay $5 to anyone who can fix this without it breaking more (hard bricking if I havent already done so)
AHHH please guys help, I'm afraid it will run out of battery soon then I'll be royally screwedddd
anyone?
are you on windows 7?
yes windows 7 professional sp 1 32bit . to reiterate I am stuck in Clockwork mod Recovery without root, and with no roms on the internal SD. I have access to one restore that works but after it completes it reboots back in recovery.

Turn on your tablet, let it boot into CWM.
Open cmd, cd to the directory with adb (for example cd C:\android), then copy this line of text below and right click > paste in the command prompt window.
adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 count=13
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That should get you out of CWM into Android, assuming your restore works fine.
Attempted and got error device not found.
I have uninstalled the transformer drivers and also installed the universal drivers as said in other threads.
I assume to use ADB i need usb debugging on for it to read??
My issue is I cant get into any rom so turning on usb debugging is a no go.
can i fastboot push a rom to the internal sd card or better yet can i install a rom from the external SD card via Clockwork mod recovery?

Try the instructions here. Try using this only as a last-ditch resort.
it wont shut off either... i tried both of the above mentions and cant get adb to recognize the prime
Attempted both and stuck at recovery loop without root. any more ideas? is it possible to flash rom from external sd? or is there a recovery I could fastboot rhat has this feature?
Attempted both and neither work. I need to somehow get usb debugging enabled while in clockwork mod. Or figure out a way to install a rom via external SD card while in CWM. Any more help is appreciated!

No adb debugging is needed in cwm. Even without any ROM installed. Recovery is different from Android.
Try to long press power (at least ten seconds) to hard reboot, and see if it changes something in device detection.
Did a hard reset and it boots me back into Recovery.
I was able to get a new rom into the internal SD via the emergency/backup.zip method but after it completes and I do a reboot it just boots right back into recovery again.
Any help please is apprecaited.

Oh joy. This one is a spaghetti western in the making.
Okay. Question first : Does Windows 7 RECOGNISE the device in any way shape or form. To find out if this can be done, you need to power up the device and hold the power and volume down buttons, DO NOT press volume up when it suggests a kernel image. If you get three icons, hit vol down once and up once, then plug the USB cable into the PC and the tablet.
If it sees "Something", you've a chance. Download the naked universal USB driver from the dev forum, install it and have your device pick it up on the windows computer. I'm assuming from your comments that you've GOT a working fastboot and adb so I'm going to skip the instructions on that.
If you do have a something, and it's recognised, hit fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot, if it reboots of it's own accord at this point, you can confirm you have working ADB and Fastboot access. From there you've a few choices. My personal preference would be to ADB push a rom down -after- doing a rebuild of the recovery image via fastboot (I really recommend TWRP for this bit).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26093546#post26093546 - This post here which I wrote will explain how to flash TWRP from fastboot access, presuming you can get it. Once that step is done, wipe EVERYTHING from TWRP, and I mean the whole nine yards, including /system. Raze the memory down to only things it can't actually nuke. Once that's done, reboot to fastboot protocol, get a ROM pushed via ADB and install from inside TWRP.
That -should- get you back in business. Though judging by the tangle you're in, I make no promises.
ADB wont recognize the device. I have installed and uninstalled the drivers about 5 times.
It wont boot into fastboot - just goes directly into Clockwork Mod recovery. Even while holding power and volume down text comes up that says looking for asus recovery. then says clockwork recovery and boots directly into that.
The only way I can get anything into the internal SD card is with MasterZen88's Emergency script tool that puts any 1 file into the internal SD card as backup.zip
It was unrooted prior to all of this as well.
*cringe*
If ADB isn't working -at all- and it's not using the naked USB drivers to get you any kind of workable access. You're starting to smell very much like a hard brick scenario. I'm honestly not sure if there's a way out of that. A lot of the solutions for unbricking absolutely require that the device is able to talk to the outside world, if it's not and the ADB shell is essentially telling you it's talking to dead air, you're in a world of pain.
It's a long shot but it may be worth speaking to ASUS to see if they are willing to, for a fee, restore your tablet to factory settings. Though I can't imagine that will be cheap or simple. If you are able to get an RMA or a means of getting ASUS to poke it, make sure to take photos. Their techies appear to have the worst case of butterfingers in the world.
Go over Pandaball's suggestion, because that's really the last step I can think of before contacting ASUS
Hello everyone, been a lurker for some time, but have never needed to post before until today. I'm accustomed to rooting and installing custom roms but I've never had anywhere close to as much difficulty as Im having with this tf201. Heres the situation:
Not sure if you'd call this bricked, as I have total access to fastboot, adb, and CWM Recovery (version 5.8.3.4 touch btw). However my most recent attempt ended with totally wiping from the volume down+power menu (whatever its called). I can not turn the tablet off, as it automatically boots to the asus splash screen (and goes no further, naturally). It is unlocked, and my drivers do work (both fastboot and adb recognize the device), but I can not flash or push anything to the sdcard (with adb its a protocol failure, with fastboot I get "sending zip....OKAY writing zip....FAILED [remote : [FileOperationFailed]]) Don't know if it needs to be said, but I also can't simply drop the file on the sd card as if it were a media storage device as "my computer" does not recognize that it is connected (Oh I am using the naked universal drivers from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998650 )
So yeah, Im at a loss as it seems like no one has had this particular problem before (also my connector cable works fine, so its not that). Any help would, of course, be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: On the tablet after trying to flash with fastboot it returns "Failed to process command flash:zip error (0x30003)"
Really? Not a single person has any idea? Could really use some help here...

You do not flash zips with fastboot.
First of all tell me where your "NVIDIA" logo is when you first power on, bottom center or bottom right?
The nvidia logo is in the bottom center of the "EEE PC Splash"
This is going to sound stupid, but did you verify the MD5 before you tried to flash it?

You are still on the ICS bootloader if NVIDIA is bottom center.
Go here http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/93 and follow the instructions for "Download - Recovery Image / Fastboot Method (using ICS or JB Asus bootloader)"
You will need to get the ICS blob file. Never flash the wrong recovery for what bootloader you are on or you can brick your device.
If you get it working and you want to upgrade to Jellybean bootloader there is instructions in post 2 of the Hairybean Rom thread. "Upgrade instructions for ICS"
edit.. to make it a bit easier for you.
Get this file http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf201/openrecovery-twrp-2.4.4.0-tf201-ICS.blob
Rename it to twrp.blob
Place the twrp.blob in the same folder as your fastboot exe
Go into fastboot and type
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob
Wait for it to finish and then type
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
see if that works.
Damn, I had a feeling it was the bootloader issue that I messed up. I went searching all over for how to find out which one I had once I realized my potential mistake. Gonna give these steps a try
I just tried all your steps, twrp is on there and I was able to push both cm10 and gapps onto the tablet, but now the zips I pushed to the sd card arent showing up in TWRP...

If you now have twrp on there you dont need to push a file. Place the file on an external SD card on the root and plug it in before starting prime.
When going into TWRP go into install and select external SD. Pick your rom and then flash it.

I'm trying to root my sons phone because of the stupid SD card issues and lack of internal storage. I searched high and low (I thought?) both here and via Google searches but couldn't find anything specific for this firmware version. I am a bit of a noob to this rooting thing, though, so maybe that's it... I tried using this guide here but it didn't work. I'd click restore but the phone would never reboot. It would just briefly say "restore started" then "restore ended" and that would be it. Is there a guide anywhere specific to this firmware? I know it's fairly new-ish. He's using JB 4.1.2, if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

You should search for "root" in L9 General or FAQ forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2511695
What worked for me
What is required:
-Phone drivers
-Fastboot (You'll find it in fastboot drivers directorium) and adb
-Fastboot drivers
-Recovery.img (I'd recommend cwm touch, because on my phone twrp has issueswith restoring backups)
-Zip that will root your phone (copyed to external SD card)
Instructions:
1. Install mobile phone drivers
2. Install fastboot drivers
3. Extract ADB
4. In terminal type adb devices to check if your phone is recognised as adb device
5. Type adb oem-unlock (terminal)
==================
Phone reboots to bootloader
==================
6. Read whats on screen
7. If you want to unlock bootloader push vol+
=================
If everything worked as it was supposed, phone will be recognised as fastboot device
=================
8. Type fastboot devices to check if phone is recognised propperly
9. Type fastboot flash (boot) recovery "path_to_your_recovery.img" (flash if you want to change your recovery with cwm/twrp, and boot if you just want to use custom recovery this time)
9.1. Turn off your phone and boot to recovery by holding vol+ home and power, when phone vibrates release just the power button, when you see logo of cwm/twrp release everything*
10. Flash the .zip
11. Reboot phone
*Skip this step if you used boot instead of flash
**All credits go to Cmahendra for submiting the guide
Thanks guys! That second one worked like a charm. I thought I'd searched properly but I guess not.
was it difficult? im not really savy at this .

Was easy as pie, actually! I'm pretty new to this too, just follow the instructions exactly. In order to install the phone drives on my PC, all I did was plug my phone into the computer via USB and it prompted all the installations I needed.
*im not developer, neither noob i just like to share what I know*
Maybe this is a noob guide, but i did my best to share something helpful
before you go deeper, be sure to check your phone able to get into fastboot mode. If you cant, use REAL unbrick method instead
If your phone soft or hard bricked, bootloop, stuck on logo etc you know you are f***ed unless you know what should to do.
Some time ago bootlooped my phone, but i cant go to recovery, cant ADB because I forgot to enable USB debugging, my computer wont recognize my phone poperly because my phone mad at me, and my phone flickering like hell *party hard*. Maybe this is a brick not bootloop but whatever
Good friend of mine tell me what should to do
What you need:
Working PC with minimal ADB and fastboot installed //see the thread here, your phone's USB and ADB driver installed //download here if you dont have it
Working USB DATA cable
Custom recovery everything will do, as long as its compatible with your current android version. Rename the img to recovery.img
ROM you prefer everything will do, as long as its compatible with your current android version. Move to your SD Card
The power of will
Step:
1. Make sure your phone is turned off
2. Boot into fastboot mode, you will see some chinese message
3. Plug your phone to to your PC
4. Check if your PC at least know that you are pluged in your phone (check via device manager by 'plug and un-plug' your phone and check for 'appear and disappear' device , mine listed as it is was a modem.)
5. Move the recovery.img inside minimal adb and recovery folder root usually under c:/programfiles directory
6. Run the minimal adb and fastboot, check your device by using /adb devices/ command without backslash
7. If your device is not listed, dont worry. We still able to use the fastboot

*im not developer, neither noob i just like to share what I know*
Maybe this is a noob guide, but i did my best to share something helpful
before you go deeper, be sure to check your phone able to get into fastboot mode. If you cant, use REAL unbrick method instead
If your phone soft or hard bricked, bootloop, stuck on logo etc you know you are f***ed unless you know what should to do.
Some time ago bootlooped my phone, but i cant go to recovery, cant ADB because I forgot to enable USB debugging, my computer wont recognize my phone poperly because my phone mad at me, and my phone flickering like hell *party hard*. Maybe this is a brick not bootloop but whatever
Good friend of mine tell me what should to do
What you need:
Working PC with minimal ADB and fastboot installed //see the thread here, your phone's USB and ADB driver installed //download here if you dont have it
Working USB DATA cable
Custom recovery everything will do, as long as its compatible with your current android version. Rename the img to recovery.img
ROM you prefer everything will do, as long as its compatible with your current android version. Move to your SD Card
The power of will
Step:
1. Make sure your phone is turned off
2. Boot into fastboot mode, you will see some chinese message
3. Plug your phone to to your PC
4. Check if your PC at least know that you are pluged in your phone (check via device manager by 'plug and un-plug' your phone and check for 'appear and disappear' device , mine listed as it is was a modem.)
5. Move the recovery.img inside minimal adb and recovery folder root usually under c:/programfiles directory
6. Run the minimal adb and fastboot, check your device by using /adb devices/ command without backslash
7. If your device is not listed, dont worry. We still able to use the fastboot
8. Boot your phone into recovery mode by using /fastboot boot recovery.img/ command without backslash
9. Wait for few secs, and your phone should touched down to recovery mode.
10. Do wipe (data, dalvik, cache, system, internal)
11. Flash your prefered ROM
12. ..........???

You may need to check some things:
Your PC actually know that you have inserted your phone. It doesn't have to know it's a phone (so it can be detected as unknown device or something similar, mine is detected as a modem)
Your phone is indeed in fastboot mode, you can tell yours is in fastboot mode by a Chinese message at the bottom of the screen
Change your cable data, make sure it is a cable data, not a normal charging cable
let me know if you need some help

I am also getting the same issue tried different cables but not working. Anyone please help me
The same issue. I think it's about getting it recognized in Fastboot mode. It's recognized in Android but not in Fastboot. All new devices are installed including those you get in Diagnostic 9091 mode (Power+V+). What do I need for Fastboot mode?
