I've had this thing for a good month or two and its ran like a champ. Never had issues really. Never Rooted, its basically stock and its been nothing but great to me.
This brings me to this evening. I decided to record my 2 year old dance and really havnt used the camcorder before. Gave it a go, recorded him, and as soon as I hit the STOP button on the camcorder, the tablet basically froze on me. Couldn't do **** for whatever reason.
So I figured ok, I'll shutdown by holding the power button. As soon as I fired it back up, I get a Encryption Unsuccessful message. It basically tells me my data is corrupt, can't be restored unless I do a factory reset. It gives me a button to reset and I push it.
It basically reboots and comes back to the same dam screen. I have no idea what the hell to do. I'm so screwed....
press and hold volume down and power. When the tablet reboots, keep holding both buttons until you see writing in upper left corner of boot screen, let go of buttons. Now press volume down and it should bring you to a menu with some options. Press volume down( I believe) to select factory reset/wipe date, then press volume up to select it.
If this doesn't work, and your boot loader is still locked, try to manually update the tablet(put factory Asus update on external SD). If that don't work, you may be screwed.
Its fixable with an unlocked boot loader.
I can try to help you. But first, lets document some things.
Where you on the latest version of ICS? (.15)
What were you doing when this happened: Already stated that
Do you have an SD card in your Prime:
Also, let's accept right now your data is lost, and is most likely not recoverable. Basically, this screwed up the /data and /sdcard folder. If you RMA the Prime, you will most likely get a new device, as it is not bricked, but beyond software fixing it. Someone please tell me I'm wrong, but I have gotten this before, I had no way of recovering, and had to get a new Galaxy Nexus.
But try these steps:
Turn the Prime off. Hold down both the Power and Volume Down.
Once you see text in the top cornor of the screen, press volume down.
Select Factory Data Rest, and hit the Volume Up confirm the change.
Let me know if that works.
Good luck!
I was still on the .13 build. I dont have an SD card either. Like I said, this **** happened outta nowhere and I'm dumbfounded right now.
Please tell me I don't have to F'in factory reset and wipe? UGH!

Try these steps for me
Turn the Prime off. Hold down both the Power and Volume Down.
Once you see text in the top cornor of the screen, press volume down.
Select Factory Data Rest, and hit the Volume Up confirm the change.
Let me know if that works.
Losing all your data right now, unfortunately, is the least of your worries. This is also something that needs to be reported to ASUS ASAP.
If you are getting to a screen, you are most definitely NOT bricked. If you see a light on, if you plug it on and the light comes on...you are not bricked.
Try the steps mentioned to get you into the menu where you manually select the options.
Good luck

Oh yea, least of your worries for sure. Hopefully most of your important stuff syncs to the cloud or you have a recent backup. Resetting your personal settings, screens, etc will be a huge relief when/if you get it up and going.

I know what you mean..lol hate having to set everything up again. but its needed though to bring back your tablet. once it gets back to normal I'd suggest updating to latest update .15. has most of old bugs fixed and more stable. plus you might get an updated camera firmware also.
good luck n post back how things went.
Well I would love to try all these steps guys, but now the F**cker wont turn on. Just vibrates. Tried plugging the charger in, same thing. Wont even turn on.... !

try plugging your prime up to t.v. through HDMI connection. see if prime might actually still be on but the screen is off. if you can see prime screen then if it lets you, try a factory reset that way by going into settings then backup/factory reset.

Well I wouldn't be able to go to settings and factory reset, because I can't get into ICS...we've established that. When I get home, I'll try my hdmi cable I guess.

that was when your prime was on and you could see the screen. could be possible the reboots stopped but now the screen doesn't want to come on..worth a shot.
No matter what screen your prime is on, whether the prime is turned off or on, press and hold volume down and power. What does that do? Keep holding it until something happens.
Tried the HDMI cable, nothing came up either.
When I hold down volume and power, it vibrates after about 8-10 seconds. Then nothing. I havn't held it down much longer than that.
tried holding it down for a minute after that...still black screen.
How does a friggin tablet BRICK itself, STOCK? Please enlighten me!
Guess I'll leave it on the charger all night just for hells sake
I've seen this situation here before. your best bet might be to keep doing what you doing to make it vibrate and drain the battery somehow. once its dead or doesn't vibrate anymore, let it charge up till the led light is green at full capacity. then try cutting it on. that has worked for a few members who seemed tl have same issue as you.
The led light doesn't come on tho at all when plugged in. Should it? Or only when it's fully charged?
it should at least be on and be a red color to indicate it's charging. a green color to indicate its fully charged.
is it still vibrating when you attempt to put it in recovery mode? if not then the power might be drained already. sometimes when battery is really dead, indicator light will not cut on until it has a decent enough charge. like some people who received their prime couldn't get it to cut on even plugged up. their battery was that dead and needed to charge for a while before it finally cut on.
constantly rebooting tablet does drain battery. maybe you already drained it, especially if it no longer vibrates anymore.
Naw it still vibrates just no led indication whatsoever. Holding down the power button only makes it vibrate and that's it, no display. I coulda swore I had like 50 percent right before I used my camcorder...weird.
I'll let it sit on a charge for a bit and see what happens. If I get this fired up I need to decide on rmaing it or not. Argh.
Thanks for the help....and to all...

no problem. it might be best just to RMA it anyways. so you won't have to deal with the risk of this happening again. plus chances are good they will send a replacement unit if they can't fix it. good luck!

No big deal, you were just out of battery and your charger is not working. Put you charger in a freezer for 2 hours and recharge your ATP 2 hours with It. problem will be solved after that.

Hi guys,
I have just received my transformer prime, I opened the box and tried to boot It but with no luck, it only vibrates.
I though initially that was a low battery issue, but now I have charged it fully (green light), and I'm still unable to boot it...
I have tried to boot it holding the power button for more than 30 seconds, and tried several times the normal way but with no luck.
Any advice?... is this a DOA?
Sigh.....this again. Just let it charge, it's fine.

How much time?... I mean, the LED changed from orange to green... That means its fully charged right?
right now is reaching out almost 3 hours plugged into the wall...
BTW, the screen does not shows anything... some people mentioned a red battery icon, or something like that, but my screen is dead....
Could be your charger derping, there's more people with this issue.
Put it in a plastic bag and huck it in the freezer for a bit,
the thermal protection could be stuck.
David blaine street magic. Better yet, steve jobs apple magic
LOL. hold down the power button for more than 5 seconds and voila! You guys are too funny.
I have tried every possible convination of seconds while holding the power button... 5, 10, 20, 30, 1 min... POWER + VOLUME DOWN, but is just vibrating... does not shows _anything_ on the screen...
Not sure if the reset hole+papperclip is going to help, but I have been trying to find how it works but with no luck, I guess is a combination of button + pushing the reset, but not sure how...
Your screen could be defective. Or the ribbon might not be connected to the board.

I have the same issue, just surprised that I can not use the product while it is plugged.
When i try to turn it on while it's plugged, it flashed and vibrated once showing battery bar and then died....now it just won't turn on!! AHHHHHHh!
Does this happen to other people. I heard you suppose to charge it for 6 hr before first use...but why can i not turn it on while plugged. Now All i see is the a red or orange LED light on the power button. Does it mean it is short circuited?
Can Someone confirm that this is normal.
I didn't bother charging straight away, with modern batteries there really isn't any need as far as I'm concerned. Of course people will tell you different but that's my opinion.
I had no issue with first boot, literally touched the power button for a second and on it came. Sounds like yours is no good.

Hi,
I researched a little bit more about the charger issues and to discard that, I left it charging today with another charger (I have two other Transformer 1). But I'm not holding my breath on that, the LED status is green, so I dont think is going to take more charging that what it currently have.
Thank you.

Hey man, that sounds a lot like what happened to mine. I was able to turn it on and set it up but then I fully charged it and rebooted..it never came back. The LED was green, I tried all the button combos etc...wouldn't even be recognized by my PC.
I've RMA'd it, you may need to do the same thing, sorry man...

Hey, thank for the reply...
I'm going to try to plug it to the PC and see if I can get something from it.
I was also thinking about trying to drain the battery (as some other have done when the update came), but I dont see any decent way to do it...
The screen does not shows anything (so no battery drain in there), I dont see any other decent way to drain the battery but to burn my finger pressing the power button causing the the thing to vibrate and somehow drain the battery little by little... But I dont know how much is going to take to achieve it ... I'll probably lose my finger first.
Make sure you try holding the power button down for a long time. I had a similar reoccurring issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427461
Try holding it down, there will be a buzz but don't stop holding it down until you see the boot logo. It can take holding it down a while. I kept thinking it was broken, but was just letting up too soon after the buzz.

Sorry man, after the huge wait we all had and the expectation, I have seen too many of these for comfort. I am no Apple lover, but somehow I can't imagine this kind of thing happening with iPads. Sure the occasional one in a thousand, but this is at least the 5th or 6th DOA I have read about. Seems that QC takes a back seat when demand is high: What? Those won't turn on? Throw them in a box, we need to get as many as we can out to Best Buy, they oversold the pre-orders. Let the poor guy RMA it!"
I was seriously afraid mine would be one of these, especially after they shipped it ground instead of the overnight I paid for. I guess I was a LITTLE more lucky, but no cigar either. I got one with no GPS functionality at all. Cannot even SEE, nevermind lock on any satellites both pre and post 8.3.33 update. Sigh. A "Premium Tablet" with horrible build and QC"
I hope you get a working replacement quickly. The guy who had an amber LED I knew would boot. Yours sounds like its running with no display like a few others I have seen. On guy had it drop 2 feet from on top of a pile of towels to a carpeted floor and his went into the same state. I think perhaps the video ribbon cable is easy to dislodge. Who knows... Get a new one, and give them hell to get it to you fast.
No Power
Just got my prime in the mail yesterday from best buy and I had the same problem. Wouldn't turn on right away so I charged it the full 8 hours and it still won't turn on at all...regardless of how long I hold down the power button. It only ever vibrates.
Called Asus tech support and he had me hold the power button for 8 seconds, let off power button, then hold down again until it turned on...but it never did. They want me to send the tablet in for repairs. That could take weeks. Best Buy won't do anything as they are backordered.
Many others have had this problem on androidforums.com. Asus really needs to address this
I found a couple posts about this but people seemed to just return or RMA it. Thought maybe my experience might help others and was curious if anyone else has this problem.
A few times I have picked up the Prime and hit the power button and the display would not come on. If I plugged it in I would see the green light on the power button come on and go off when unplugged. It appeared to still be attached to the WIFI. If I held the button down it would buzz, but nothing else.
I found out that if I held the button down, waited for it to buzz then continued to hold it down for another 30 secs or so (seems like it takes forever) the Prime would then reboot and I would get the Eee Pad boot screen.
I have been storing my Prime in the box to keep it clear of kids and cats until I get a case. My wife ended up picking up this cheap case from Walmart which used rubber bands around the corners, and this triggered the problem by holding down the volume up button. I have not been able to reliably reproduce it, but it seems like holding down the volume button (or combo of power and volume button) puts the device in some diagnostic mode or something that shuts off the screen.
The natural tendency to release the power button immediately after the buzz while trying to reset made the device seem like it was broken. Luckily I figured out how to start it back up so I did not return it or RMA; however I wonder how many others experienced this problem.
This appears to be a software problem and not a hardware issue. I have not had this happen since I started being cautious about the volume buttons, but have not tried to reproduce on the last firmware update.
I have had no other issues with the Prime. It runs great, WIFI works for me and I could care less about the GPS issue. However, this display thing has scared me a handful of times until I figure out how to reset it.
Anyone else have this kind of issue? I was going to wait for ICS and then see if I could reproduce it before calling ASUS, but it has not been crippling especially once I figured out that when all else failed just hold down the power button until the screen came back on.
I've had this problem as well, three or four times so far. Actually, it happened to me on the first full day I had mine, and was really freaking me out. I've been using the pinhole reboot button to get it working, but it sounds like you were more patient with the power button than I was.
I can't replicate it either, exactly, but I've noticed that it's only happened after extended periods (6+ hours) of inactivity without charging. I also looked at my battery usage last night, and saw that my device constantly is awake; maybe somethint's happening when it tries to sleep?
Anyway, I feel the same way you do - I'm waiting for it to happen on 4.0(.3?) before I really worry.
I've had this happen twice. held down the power button to reboot. I can't reproduce it either, but I don't have any problem with the device sleeping. I'm at 50 hours of uptime now (15 on current charge) and have not run into it. Mildly glad to see its not just me though.

Only once tonight. Scared me until I saw the boot screen. Interesting since it has been rock solid until this. No other problems just didn't turn on. Glad to be back working.

I've had the same exact problem andthe funny thing is I also have a case from Walmart with the rubber bands. Is yours the case logic? Since reading this post, I've removed the upper left band. I wish my case would ship already!
guys if you're familiar with transformer 1 and hacking\custom ROM tegra devices power + vol up = apx mode kind of download mode blank screen, nothing wrong with the device just working like it should. now just a blank screen with sound when u plug in could be defective screen has happened to me
Awesome to know this is expected behavior.
I didn't have the original transformer, and googling has just led me to people who can/can't get into the mode, so I'll ask here: what exactly is apx mode? I get what it's for, sort of, but what is it?
also happened to me while it was in a case. maybe the power button was pressed too long or something...
this happened to me yesterday, except the screen is still off....tried everything mentioned and it wouldnt turn back on, its fully charged...i get no buuz sound or anything...
LOL, I was just searching for a thread like this.
Mine has been working flawless for the last 4 days. This morning, would not turn on. I tried every combo and button push I could think of.
No LED charging lights, nada.
I finally reverted to the paper clip in the reset hole. Booted right up.
Don't know what the issue is.
reset button wont even work for me...
Yes It happend to me yesterday twice... i think if we leave it for an extended period without out charge , the screen is getting locked somehow... both the times i have held the power button till the buzz.. then it rebooted....
Same behavior here, was fully charged in the Morning, and plugged in, when i got home Both LED's (Dock and Tab) were green but the Screen won't turn on, pressing the Power button for 10sec rebooted the device, maybe some kind of power saving feature... hopefully it will be fixed with ICS
Okay, rockstatus90's problem seems different, but the rest of us, pceasar explained that we're likely entering APX mode, right? It's designed behavior? Now I just want to know what APX mode is, and if there's an easier way to exit than rebooting.
Happened twice for me so far.

Yes this is normal. Although most other Android devices seemed to give some sort of on screen message.
It is mentioned here as a process of rooting the original TF:
http://eeepadhacks.net/transformer-hacks/how-to-root-your-eeepad-transformer/
Basically, this is a mode that outputs to your PC and is supposed to blank your screen. You are supposed to reboot afterwards, so there is no other way out.
I have not had the problem since being sensitive about pushing volume+ and power at the same time.

Unfortunately it looks like return or rma is your solution. I would try to call Asus and see if they can troubleshoot it. Best case they can reset it for; worse case its dead.
Really wish you could pull the battery. Thats the sure fire reboot.
So all seemed to be fine and dandy after the update, but I went to check something on my tablet and it wouldn't wake up. Pressing the power button, or even holding it didn't do anything; the screen was black. I held volume up and power and it vibrated, then I held it again and it vibrated again. The third time I did this, it finally booted up again.
Dunno what this means.
EDIT: Just happened again, although now I can't seem to get the thing back on. The screen is just off and vol. up + power only makes the thing vibrate after a few seconds. I simply left the prime on the lock screen and came back and it was stuck again.

Mine does the exact same thing when I tether it to my Sensation with BT.
I'm still on 2.11.1 though
UPDATE
I just manually updated my pad to .13 this morning. It did NOT alleviate my problem but it didn't make it any worse. Unlike many other user who report the lockups when sleep now, mine still only occurs when I tether BT and it goes to sleep. On the upside, I've tested my wifi and do confirm an improvement ~20% increase in signal strength and quality.
According to dd-wrt on my router signal increased from about ~49% to 63%
and Wifi analyzer signal strength ~77-68dB to ~54-47dB. I have not tested GPS.
Apparently the build variance between pads are reflected by the variance in the effects of the update

How do you get it back on? I can't seem to power it up now.

same thing is happening to me after the update. My prime never used to do that but something in the update screwed with it. is there anyway we can revert back?
Doubt this is an update issue as I haven't seen it yet or most others. Or they all would be posting about it. That is strange though. You all didn't root n go messing around with stuff did you? Lol. If anything I'd try a fresh reboot. Maybe even clear out all the caches. Something else is seeming to cause this. By any chance did you install chrome beta? Some users reporting strange things since installing it. I don't think its the app but it is strange though or coincidence.

no I didn't root. I may factory reset if it keeps doing it and see if that works. I got a decent working prime and it would suck if this update is giving me problems. yes I did install chrome beta but this issue happened before I even installed it so that can't be it.
Ok, this has to do something with the update.
My perfectly fine from before prime wouldn't unlock. I couldn't get it to respond. (I thought it was dead..) I tried to unlock and pressed volume, did nothing.
I just read this thread and tried holding the power button and it vibrated and booted after the hold...
Asus needs to stop the patch roll out untill this is fixed...
Same problem for me. And after a short sleep, it wakes up, but there is a delay of about one half second that didn't used to be there.
-gary
After that one sleep, it has not yet repeated since last night for me
not only did mine do the same thing but it also killed my battery life while my Prime was sleeping... epic fail asus its time to return for a refund and never look back.
Maybe try reverting back and see if the problem goes away.
This hard-to-wake-up issue happened to me once after the update, but my Prime did finally wake up. Have not had the issue since. There was a lag in the wake up yesterday also, as others have mentioned, but even that seems to be gone now (or I'm just used to it).
Possible fixes for this situation:
1) Hard reset (stick an open small paper clip into the little hole just below the microSD) -- I'm sure most of you have tried this already...
And, if that doesn't work:
2) Hard reset, then reapply the .13 firmware update manually right after (assuming that is possible)
My tendency is to always do a hard reset just before any firmware updates -- makes me feel a little more confident. I was lazy and did not do that yesterday, but it won't happen again.
enough with this crap
Dude, you really gotta stop trolling, this is the third thread you are spewing this crap in in the last three I read.. You obviously are not returning it, you just like to *****.

unsure if this is the right thread, but mine's been acting up since the update as well. when i'm actively using it and turn off the screen, it boots up as quick as before to the unlock screen. however, after letting it sit for a few hours, it seems to have shut off where i'll have to hold the power button on for a few seconds (after 2 or 3 tries) to get it to boot up again as if i reset the tab.
Having the same issues with mine as well. I have installed Chrome Beta, but had it running for a few days pre-update without issue.
I almost always keep mine in the dock, but haven't had a chance to determine if it only happens in the dock or not.
i have seen this occur in the past ..before the update.. i thought the battery was dead but plugging in the charger didnt do much.. held the power+vol up 3 times finally woke up .. and said 36% battery left... i m on the verge of returning this after 2 weeks of use.. just cant get over these silly silly issues
Mine just did the same thing. I'm on the newest update. Had to hold power button 10+ seconds for it to come back.

Mine died over night with a charge of 36% in balanced mode. Had to hold the button down for 10 seconds to get it to turn on today after it was plugged in the charger for 20 minutes. Now when i wake it out of sleep there is a .5/1.5 second delay for the screen to come on.
Same issue
Had absolutely no issues with my tablet prior to this update - no random reboots, but now if it's off for a minute or more, I have to hold power in for 7-12 seconds to boot up the system.
Hey, just a thought.
Maybe also include the first few of your tablet's serial number to see if the problem is consistent with some batch(es) and not others? May help others that's going to update...
I went to restart my TS and now it won't switch back on at all.... nothing happening and no response... I have left it on charge and it gets slightly warm but nothing happens?? Any ideas??

You tried holding the power button down for more than 2 seconds?
I don't think that will help. The watch arrives set in quickboot mode and it can crash in that mode and not restart right. Might be the problem here, or his display backlight might have failed. Or his power button might have failed.
Anyway, try a battery pull. A full restart after a real shutdown via battery pull will probably recover the watch to where you can go in and disable quickboot.
Instructions are in other threads.

Yeh I tried holding down every button etc for looong time... Today it's actually it's started working again clever tactics I tried....
Stop playing it with it for a day (Vital part this!)
Plug it into computer for 15mins
Hold power down.... it came on Woop

One thing that people need to be aware of--after doing a Cache and Dalvik wipe in TWRP Recovery--the phone can 'seem' like it's stuck in Boot mode--BUT, it's just taking it's time to re-align all the apps, software etc... and I mean at least 10 minutes of looking at a stationary Boot screen--it worried me first time.
Well, mines gone too. It was fully charged. I was listening to music, turned off the app, put watch on standby and when I went to check the time the thing won't turn back on. Tried connecting it to the charger but no response. I'm going to open it up and see if that works. I know I'll loose my warranty for this (doubt I have one as I got mine through Expansys.jp), If it doesn't work then I can confirm that swett, and not much of it will break your truesmart.
Accidentally borked this trying to repair. Accidentally flashed wrong thing and went into boot loop. Since then it has stopped turning on and off, no hard reset, no nothing. I dunno what to do. I can't flash anything new since it has no power even though it's very charged. It doesn't respond whatsoever. Can anyone help or am I screwed?

just to add the haptic feedback that indicates the device is working doesn't work either. there's no way to get it into fastboot mode to reset as it wont turn on. Please help. I've tried to flash .ftf but wont work because it wont turn on.

Perhaps you should read this thread to get some ideas.

I have my share of bootloops and find this thread quite useful. If your problem is that your device won´t charge, have you try to charge it with dock?
I have the latter...it wont boot at all and no 'bump' or anything like that. it doesn't do what you're saying it should be doing to recover. I will try the red button but so far nothing seems to help. thanks for the advice I was going to send it to sony but sounds like ill void my warranty. just to be clear when i push the power the things that it usually does don't happen. no haptic feedback, no 'bump', no nothing when you push the button. Its on charger so the issue isn't battery. it just doesn't charge AFAIK. or can tell. Well, off to the red button and see how that works. All I have yet to try i believe as i cant use the other tools till it turns on at least.

the soft brick red button didn't work as it just presses down. Im still stuck without power and without a way to reinstall software. or get rid of brick. any other suggestions before i send to sony?
any ideas before I send to sony? they probably are going to void my warranty. the red button only goes up and down. it wont' stay down. and it doesnt work at all. should i just send it in and hope for the best?
I had this the other day, flashed the wrong thing, spent hours looking over the net, no haptic feedback, no light when connected to the charger, no fastboot, it seemed dead in every sense of the word, requested an RMA from amazon, I had til the 12 Nov to return it, since I was going to Italy for for 12 days I thought I would take with me, if I couldn't sort it I would return it as defective, night before I was due to leave, tried the power button and it jumped to life, as if nothing had happened, flashed the correct image and here I am in Italy writing this on my Z2 tablet, not sure if it helped but I had mine connected to the power 85% of the time I thought it was dead

The onlynresson the RMA worked was the unit not responding otherwise my warranty was void. Turned into a positive as they replaced the unit. I left it charging for a week with no change. Good for you though.
