Flashed the Broccoli nightly rom I can no longer boot or get back into CWM. Computer cannot start the device. Can someone please help me? Tried all the tools and methods. It won't work unless I can get the device to start when connected to my computer.
RIght now when I press Vol Up and power, it brings me to cold boot linux. Cannot select anything or do anything. When connected to comp, it says device cannot start Code 10. Don't know what else to do. Help please
Looks like you're having an issue similar to mine. You'll need to setup ADB and push another rom to your Prime.
Can you get into recovery?

This thing is completely frozen no matter what. I can power off and on but that's about it. The device won't start according to windows. I'm praying I won't have to RMA or something.
You shouldn't be getting that screen pressing vol up and power.....that should be vol down and power, then doing nothing.

Thats pretty strange. You kinda screwed unless you can get into recovery or fastboot

Hi,
where it says press down to change mode you should be able to highlight the middle icon. If so that is fastboot and you have a chance.
I had a very bricked Prime and it only got that far. Then I followed this post.
You must download the fastboot and adb from the links given. I had some from elsewhere and they didn't work so well.
Also, I am not an Android hacker and I think that the dd command is somehow dangerous. At the end of the day, on my machine, I'm back with AndroWook and latest Motley kernel
Best of luck.

Thanks let me try now. I hope it works. How did you get the computer to recognize the prime? Do I need to enable asus sync?

So when your device turns on its in a recovery loop right? You try to reboot and it goes right back to recovery?
It's ok don't worry, we will get it fixed. If that's what your problem is its referred to brick 1a in the unbrick your prime sticky thread.
We just need to setup ADB if you haven't already, and run one command. PM me if you need some help and ill try my best to get you through it or remotely connect to your computer to help you.
I highly suggest TWRP recovery after you get rebooted.

This is what I did while in CWM. Below is a copy of an insert from this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24923189#post24923189
Anyhow, so after you have that version installed:
1. Download "ROOTED 9.4.2.21 CWM compatible signed US version"
d - h . s t / r 4 4 -> WITH NO SPACE! (This is from the Primeval: The STOCK stock rom) Thread.
2. EXTRACT IT to the same directory where your ADB is! We only need the BLOBFILE from that zip folder!
3. Once you have the files extracted just run the following on your Command line:
adb push blobfile /sdcard/ ---> Its going to look like its not doing
nothing but dont worry its doing it in the background after 401 or some
seconds the command line will returned to you with a message like this:
1275kb, dadadada...
4. VERY IMPORTANT!: enter:
adb shell
dd if=/sdcard/blobfile of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
(Same as the previews step it will take forever but it will work dude!)
5. DONE! at least this is what worked for me man!
Im so happy now my Asus is freaking Brand NEw again! i was JUST about to through this garbage away but im so happy "dklue" gave me the BLOB concept idea! heheheh i guess i learned something new now..
the thing is the computer is not picking it up i tried diffrent drivers and still nothing i try doing ADB Shell device not found in order to do some commands i have to have it mount and thats the problem what ever i do wont move nothing so basicly is still on CWM only reboot and back again to CWM
Hold power and vol down to boot into CWM. Then you can do the blobfile push. It worked for me

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

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?

Says error device not found. I appreciate the help keep it coming it's keeping my hope alive. I really hope this isnt truly hard bricked.
I cant get ADB to read the transformer prime. When I type adb devices nothing shows up . it starts the daemon successfully but then doesn't show the tfp.

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
Okay guys here's the dealio-
I recently got my transformer prime and I *loved* it. It came pre-loaded with the .21 version of ICS, which can't be rooted as of now so I downgraded to stock .15 with a modified ViperMod and then rooted and installed CWM. Next, I installed the Gummy custom ROM onto my prime (still .15). Well, I started to experience some weird -probably ROM related- issues and I ended up deciding to flash back to stock. ...BIG MISTAKE on my part I found out! I used the modified ViperMod to flash back to the stock .15 and it ran through the process but stopped at the ASUS boot logo with the little loading circle going around and around and around. First I let it sit for a VERY long time-stuck on boot. Then, I tried turning it off and back on-stuck on boot. Next, I tried pushing down the little recovery button-stuck on boot. I tried booting into CWM, but obviously, since I flashed back to the stock .15, all I get is the android guy laying in his side with the red triangle.
I am really really hoping that this is not a hard brick because the error that people are describing is the tablet stuck in the screen with "EeePad" in the middle and then getting something about an "unrecoverable bootloader error". My tablet boots past the EeePad screen and there is no error message-just the endless loading circle.
I am hoping that one of you smart guys could have a clue on how to revive my tablet. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and maybe I can buy you a beer if you bring my baby back to life
Here is a picture of what it looks like (circle is still spinning):

so you can get into recovery? I saw you said you tried to flash cm9 again. if you caught in a bootloop, jemaine made a zip file you can flash to get you out of it. you have to search for it though in developement section. does your computer still recognize your prime when you hook it up to your computer? you may need to adb commands into prime.
good luck getting it back running.

I no longer have cwm installed, it is just the stock recovery so I cannot install any .zip's. Also, when I plug the tablet in wile its on the Asus loading screen, the computer DOES recognize it. Maybe there is some way to get into it and reflash?

When you say your pc can see the prime can you see it with adb? If not go here:

Once you have adb figured out you should be able to reflash recovery. See this thread:

I used method 2. You will need to push the blob file to your prime using adb. Hope that helps.
Won't turn off and stuck on Boot screen PANIC!!!!
I'm running CM9 nightlies on my 64gb TF201 and have had no issues with it. I'm using GooManger and Teamwin for recovery and have not had any issues in that department either. Until now.
So 2 days ago a nightly was released that I flashed with out issues. The updated ROM however wanted to open the virtual keyboard when I started typing so I decided to revert back. I did this by just flashing an earlier released nightly. It went through the process and then restarted. The boot screen came on and then never left. If I try and turn it off it just restarts. I can't get it into recovery but I can get into fastboot. However I don't have a little Android symbol just the wipe data and USB. I don't have a backup on my computer that I can push through. I flashed CWM recovery through fastboot in hopes of then being able to get into recovery but with no luck. I used transformerprimerecovery.zip followed all the instructions got an "OK" and "finished" on CMD. At the same time the little progress bar on the TF showed that it did something but no change with my condition.
When I'm connected with fastboot it doesn't show up on my computer as I found to be expected. In device manager Android Phone is listed and when I click on it ASUS Android Bootloader Interface shows up stating device is working properly. If I open CMD and type "cd" it just replies C:\users\Josh>. I tried to wipe data to see if it would and it said it did but still no change. I've been reading for the past two days and haven't found the same set of problems yet. I've found similar issues but not all together.
Please if anybody has a suggestion for me I would be most Thankful. I've not had any luck with my searches
Thanks

I seem to be falling further down the rabbit hole. I mentioned above that I was able to flash CWM recovery via fastboot was not able to access it. I tried the same process with TeamWin recovery. It just stated that the specified path could not be found. So I'm losing features now.

When you are trying to flash anything in adb or in fastboot, put the file in the same folder as those .exe files. Manytimes it is a typing mistake on the path that kills you. Also remember to add the.zip at the end of the file name if applicable.

No luck. I've tried rearranging all the files associated with adb and fastboot I can think of. I've opened the CMD window from about every file as well as from the start menu and I can't get CMD prompt to recognize the tablet. The tablet allows me to get to the point where it states that it is "starting fastboot USB download protocol". Device manager shows Android Phone > ASUS Android Bootloader Interface. And when I remove the device it shows it listed as "fastboot device". I'm stumped on getting into CMD and can't do anything until I do. It just stays on the boot screen until I force it off. And if I'm not holding down the volume up button when I do it, it just recycles on. I've found post regarding the boot screen locked on but everybody has been able to fix it through a properly functioning fastboot/ADB.

The command window should be opened from the same window (folder) you have adb.exe or fastboot.exe in otherwise it isn't going to work unless you have the exact path which is easy to kame a mistake on. I would try the following:
If your not on twrp I would fastboot install it first.
Install universal naked driver
Download and unzip nvflash file
In the folder window where adb.exe is, press and hold shift, and right click and select open command prompt here.
Now do adb devices
You should see you device
put you rom in the same folder and push it to the table
reboot to recovery and install

As long as you have the fastboot logo, there should be hope. First, you will need to do whatever you can to get your computer to recognize fastboot mode. In order to do this, click on the fastboot icon on your prime and then plug your usb into your pc. What does windows say? Is the device showing in the windows device manager?

It shows up but then says failed to install driver will try it on different pc,s see if it works thanks for the replies seems fairly easy
Ive found on my device that it sometimes requests two different drivers. One for adb/fastboot, and one for mtp. I just cancel the one for mtp as they are not in the naked driver set, and windows then detects another different device.

Okay, you're half way home! The reason why nothing shows in adb is because fastboot and adb are two completely different interfaces. When in fastboot, your device will be expecting the fastboot command only.
Now what you will have to do is find a recovery that is in the blob format. Cwm would probably be okay. Twrp would be good, however the new version requires the nvflash version of the bootloader.
Once you find the blob of the recovery you want, place this in the same folder as the file fastboot.exe
It should be in the same place as adb. If not, place the blob somewhere easy to remember.
Then in a command prompt, type
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery blobfilename
If you placed the blob in the same place as fastboot, then the above will be the blob filename, or better would be to include the path as well.

I have tried all of the mount/unmount options in CWM. nothing is working for me.
is there anyone that has run into this? And if so, have you found a resolution?

Update****
I was able to get it out of the boot loop, so that it will boot to the splash screen. well following instructions i've found online, when in CWM, i connected through ADB and pushed a copy of cm9.zip up to the internal storage.
yet, whenever i choose "install from zip" in CWM, it never finds the zip file.
i have done it a few times now and it says it copies up completely, but never actually shows up.
syntax i'm using: adb push cm9filename.zip "/sdcard/cm9filename.zip"
it takes about two minutes and gives me confirmation that it pushed x amount of bytes of data for the file, and says its done. I then go back to the tablet in CWM and choose install from sdcard, and it says there are no files.
I'm about ready to throw this thing in the trash and be done with it......
First of all make a small text file and zip it up for a test file that wont take long to push.
Now type adb push test.zip /data/media/
look if the file is showing where you go to install a rom.
If it is showing then push the rom to the same place then install it

Please HELP CWM Roocovery Loop!!!

Update****
I was able to get it out of the boot loop, so that it will boot to the splash screen. well following instructions i've found online, when in CWM, i connected through ADB and pushed a copy of cm9.zip up to the internal storage.
yet, whenever i choose "install from zip" in CWM, it never finds the zip file.
i have done it a few times now and it says it copies up completely, but never actually shows up.
syntax i'm using: adb push cm9filename.zip "/sdcard/cm9filename.zip"
it takes about two minutes and gives me confirmation that it pushed x amount of bytes of data for the file, and says its done. I then go back to the tablet in CWM and choose install from sdcard, and it says there are no files.
I'm about ready to throw this thing in the trash and be done with it......

I am having the same exact problem. It started when I tried to restore my stock backup that I made using CWM 5.8.2.0 coming from the CM rom. I am stuck in the CWM recovery screen and cant get ADB to see the TF Prime. I just get error: device not found. How did you manage to push a zip if ADB wasn't seeing your device? I have been looking for a fix for the last week now.
Forget CWM fastboot flash TWRP then load your rom via microsd.....

The answer is in the post you quote, did you read it? Fastboot, see on twrp site.

the problem is whenever it try to fastboot it just keeps saying waiting for device. I can put my TF prime in fastoot mode when I power on while holding down on vol it just goes right to CWM recovery and any adb command gives me no device found and I tried APX mode (holding vol up during power on) and tried to use NVFlash but that just gives me an error device not recognized. I have all the drivers installed. I used the naked drivers .7 and have cleared out all the old drivers too.

you hold the volume down until the screen starts, then you let go and wait

As I stated above holding down Val down while turning on does not bring up the menu it still just boots right into CWM recovery. i have no option for fastboot or anything.

No, you hold Vol down + power then when the first screen with sentences appears you release everything DON'T touch anything, after 5 secondes you will end in a screen with three icons, with volume down youu select the usb icon in the middle, then volume up.
This procedure works even on locked devices except that in this case you don't have the usb icon, only the factory reset and cold reboot ones. So it's impossible you don't obtai this screen, it's hardware coded.
It is confusing but just keep trying till you get it!! Once there go to the TWRP site they have the file and the fastboot commands all set in a guide.
I have exactly the same problem than you.
I had the fastboot/adb connection (I used to push the rom by adb), but i tried to install a wrong version on gapps. Since then, I'm stock in the recovery mode without adb/fastboot connection.
If you find a solution for that, pleaze post it !!

Hello guys, I'm here because my TF201 seems to be bricked ...
I know, there is a lot of threads about this kind of problems, but I can't succeed to solve mine by reading hundred of threads.
I explain what's happened :
My TF201 has an unlocked bootloader (by asus method), root, and has a CWM (CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4). I was on the lattest ICS build (9.4.2.15). Since october, i know that JB was on TF201, but not mine. So I decide to download the lattest Stock JB version from Asus website and to place it into my SDcard. I reboot my TF201 in recovery (holding down the volume button, then up), I've done a backup. After this backup, I've done a factory reset and I install the new ROM from my SDcard. Maybe I should not do this ... But now, my tablet stay on the bootscreen (Asus EEE pad logo). I can always access to the recovery, so I tried to factory reset and restore my previous backup ... But it didn't work, my tablet still bricked.
So, I went to google, i've read lots of threads for trying to understand whats happened to my TF201. I've read some thread on XDA forum too.
I've tried every solutions proposed, and anyone work.
I've read some articles about ADB. I installed it, but the problems is that my TF201 can't be detected by my computer (Running Win8 64). I installed drivers from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875
But, still nothing, impossible to show my device when I write "adb devices" or "fastboot devices" in windows cmd.
I'm a little bit desesperate, so i came here for writting this thread, hopping that someone could help me to unbrick my TF201 without send it back to Asus (wich cost me hundreds of euros).
I'm going in front of some questions that i've read in other thread :
No i've not TWRP recovery installed.
I haven't got a nvFlash.
Thanks for reading this thread and for your help !
Sincerelly,
Thrakka.
PS : I'm really sorry for my bad english, don't blame me ^^
You can access recovery?
Then you are not bricked.
Why not flash a custom rom?

Primarily because he has cwm recovery and jellybean bootloader. He does not know how to set up his drivers on his computer for fastboot to install the correct recovery for his bootloader.
to the OP, go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615990 and figure out how to get twrp for jellybean on your prime. TWRP supports flashing roms from the microsd slot so you dont need to push one to your sd. also if you need help getting the naked drivers to work on your prime go the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502 that pertains to others putting it on the prime. they will be more help than the galaxy naked drivers users. FORGET ABOUT CWM!!! IT IS NOT SUPPORTED ON PRIME FOR JELLYBEAN
@ Garret
Yes I can access to recovery, but for flashing a new rom, I need to access my internal SDcard ... But infortunatelly, now I can't.
A thing that I don't understand is when I restore my ICS backup, it doesn't work ...
@ Whycali
I'm gonna try your advice this afternoon.
But how can I install TWRP on my prime without access ... I'm will try with your links ... Hoping succeed ...
I'll give you the results in the evening.
Sincerely,
Thrakka.
I can access to the fastboot mode, but impossible to flash anything ...
I've taken all driver for the prime on my computer, install them.
the command "fastboot devices" work, i can see my prime : 00000 fastboot
but when I try the command "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob" from www{dot}teamw.in/project/twrp2/93, the result : error: cannot load 'twrp.blob' : No error.
I can't understand.
The directory "/platform-tools" from the ADT is in the PATH variable, and the file "twrp.blob" is in the same directory. Two ways for the fastboot command to find it, but it can't succeed ...
Same problem when I want to create my own nvflash blob file (tuto from androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/) with the command "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging ebtblob.bin", the result is the same : error: cannot load 'ebtblob.bin' : No error.
I can't see my mistake ... Could you help me ?
Sincerely,
Thrakka.
PS : as i'm a new member, I can't post direct link to other site where I found tutos, sorry ...

on your pc you need to run the command from the same directory that contains the file you wish to transfer. easiest way to do this is to place the blob in the folder where your fastboot application is then hold shift and right click inside the folder. from the menu that opens choose open command window here. from there run your fastboot commands.

hey, hold up and check your pm. Do not install TWRP for jb if you are still on the ICS bootloader.
you can check which bootloader version of twrp to install by where the nvidia logo is on the bootscreen. bottom center needs ics twrp. bottom right needs Jellybean twrp. By all means if you are still with ics finish the nvflash backups first.

Little update for the post :

Hello Aduniel: I have essentially the same issue with my tf201. It seems to be hard bricked? (My guess.) If I reboot with Volume Down and Power button, I get a message "This device is Unlocked" in upper left of screen. Also large lettering in center of the screen, "ASUS" and "nNidea Tegra 3" in the lower right.
If I boot with Volume Up and Power button, I get a blank, black screen. (APX mode).
I have set up ADB and naked drivers on a notebook running Windows 7. When I try to connect via fastboot, I get a message <waiting for device>. But it does not connect.
I was wondering if you managed to get your tablet working since Nov. 2013? If so, what did you have to do? I need to know if there is any hope, or have I shot myself in the foot, as they say.
Cheers man,
Jim
