bricked prime - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I really need help now
Can't boot.
Today i flashed AndrWook 2.1 and set it to wipe my internal SD but it couldnt boot. I used a lot of time to push another ROM to the device but with no luck.
used WSG Unbricker to try save it (i had recovery before i used it) I formatted everything and tried repair it with the complete unbricker options but that didn't work. I dont know but it looks like it just cancels when i try do it. So i tried manually flash the /boot /system and /recovery from wsg unbricker using fastboot. Now i can't get any recovery installed
My internal SD is formatted. I can't get to recovery and i can flash a new one using fastboot but i dont have a option to boot into it. I have only bootloader now with the 2 options: Wipe data and USB protonol (fastboot)
So now im screwed I'm shaking all over and panic! I really hope someone can help me
EDIT:
If i install the ASUS .28 firmware again from http://support.asus.com/Download.asp...me+TF201&os=32 will i then boot? Or will it hardbrick it?
at 2. screenshot i pressed 5 and now i dont have recovery
3.rd screenshot i pressed 2, 3, 4 and 5

Hey I managed to fix my problem by installing the universal drivers provided by 1wayjonny re installing twrp and pushing the rom via adb whilst booted into the recovery.

I had the same problem as well using TWRP. I fixed it by installing the naked drivers as well, adb push sdwipe then flashing the zip. Then I adb pushed the ROM again reflashed then all is well now.

[Q] Help! Screen become irresponsive after editing touchpad.cfg

I am using a rooted Atrix ME860 without CWM recovery. (USB Debugging mode is off)
2 days ago, in an attempt to enable multitouch in my mobile, I edited touchpad.cfg located in system\etc\touchpad\22 using root explorer following some guide found in internet. (I did a backup before editing it). After restarting the mobile, the screen became irresponsive to any touch. I did a lot of searching and finally, I tried to make an update.zip to place back the back-up touchpad.cfg in android recovery mode. However, it failed every time when come to signature verification. (I tried 5-6 type of different signer app, java script etc and made over 30 update.zip but all failed)
With my limited knowledge to android phone I did an external hard reset thinking all would be done, but the screen is still not response to any touch after that.
Any suggestion guys?
Thank you.
You can't use stock recovery for custom ZIPs, only for officially signed ZIPs.
Hard reset is also irrelevant since it doesn't touch /system at all.
See here, maybe it helps: http://cleanimport.xda/index.php?threads/1813668/
try to update through fastboot. do more search how to?
or try to flash cwm recovery as a start.
any way your phone not bricked, the last resort will be flashing sbf but u will not going through it.
Thanks for replying.
I checked the link. Seems that guy with the same problem could not solve the problem..
Is it still possible for me to install CWM without touch screen?

Yes.
After searching I unlocked my phone and installed CWM recovery and a CM9 unofficial ROM found in this forum. Thanks for the help.
The touchscreen problem was solved but there is another new problem..
My phone failed to mount the internal SD card. I tried to mount it in setting -> storage -> mount SD card (under internal storage)
Nothing changed except a notification about SD card safe to remove appear. (This notification appear each time after rebooting phone too)
I tried to mount/format SD card/emmc in recovery but got error. Reflashing CWM and ROM also didn't help.
I tried most solution found in internet except the relock then unlock method as i have no idea how to do that.
Thanks for any help again.

"Sort of" bricked tf201 : Yup, I am dumb. Please help.

I created this thread because I have looked all over and have been unable to find someone with the exact same issue(s).
I said "sort of" in the title because twrp is working. Ok, so before everyone asks if I have nvflash, the answer is no. I did not have the right version of firmware, and did not try to install it originally. Since I was able to install roms, I figured I was fine...oops.
Twrp is not properly installing roms. More on that later. I am getting to the asus splash screen that says my device is unlocked, but it is stuck there.
My last working rom was the deodexed stock JB rom from craig gomez. I installed it with goo and when I installed that, I lost custom recovery and root, so I decided to go back to a more custom rom so Titanium backup would work. When I did that, I tried also tried again to make nvflash work. I got through the first step, it said it was successful, except I never got the little message in the upper left corner that I was supposed to get. I did not think it was a big deal because my prime would still boot like normal.
Then I installed twrp 2.3.1.0 and I have tried flashing previous restore images. I have tried installing the roms on my sdcard. I cannot get past the asus splash screen.
If I try installing a rom with the force md5 check enabled, it does detect an md5 and then quits.
If I try intalling a rom without the force md5 check, i get an error that says E:Unable to mount '/staging'
When I try installing a backup everything seems to work okay, but then I get the same error E:Unable to mount '/staging'
When I try to install roms through fastboot, I get the following errors:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
When I try using adb, I do not see any devices.
I tried putting CWM on the prime to see if I could install from that instead, but it would not load after install.
I tried putting an older version of twrp on the prime, to see if that was the issue because I used to have an older version...I could not get that to load either...so I went back to this version.
Any ideas or suggestions would be awesome guys. I am stuck.
I even went to install the naked drivers again, and when I try to flash a different recovery, I get the <waiting for device> text that never goes away.
i'm sort of on the same boat. my prime just keeps booting into twrp recovery no matter what i tried. i'm still hoping to find a solution to this problem.

For me, I can let it try to boot normally, but I get stuck at the splash screen. This device is unlocked.
If I hold down the volume down button, I can go to fastboot, or RCK for recovery...but it does not work properly.

Yeah, I thought that too, but fastboot does not work properly either...argh. I wish one of the gurus would chime in here.
Same Here.. It all happened when i restored my files using titanium backup and when i rebooted im stuck at boot scrren
EDIT: Guys I did a prime fullwipe and flashed stock jb and now prime is restored to its original state..
""I also got some errors like md5 file could not be found and could not find the /staging""..but after the reboot it works perfect
EDIT 1: Now after the prime fullwipe and flashing stock jb i flashed twrp recovery and now it works perfect without a single error even the above mentioned errors were gone

That doesn't really help us. If possible, can you edit/delete your message so that the guys that might help do actually help? Don't want them to think this is done.
Can you clarify what the Prime fullwipe is and how you got there?
I do not know if it will help me.
I can't even do the wipe command from fastboot.
Just says <waiting for device>
I have tried the wipe command form the boot screen (the one with fastboot and RCK as options), that did not work properly either.

here is what i did. get into twrp recovery. flashed full prime wipe -> right after that flash the stock jb US version directly dled from Asus -> reboot then you will be stuck at the splash screen (that's a good news). Hold down power + volume down until your prime turns off and restart (keep holding those two keys) until the 3 icons appear then flash w/e rom you want in recovery. It's alive!
In twrp I do not see anything that says Full Prime Wipe. I see something that says wipe. Are those the same? I tried doing a wipe from this screen, but it did not work for me as expected.

no full wipe is a stand alone zip file you have to google and find dl it. put it in your prime then flash it
Thanks. That is what I needed to know.
I will see if I can make this work when I get back from work.

I am pretty sure I am F***ed.
I tried the prime full wipe. It worked the first time, I think. Then went to install a rom.
I had to do both through external SD in twrp because my adb is not working. Also, fastboot only works to install a recovery. The only version of any recovery I can make work is twrp 2.3.1.0
If I try an older version or CWM, it freezes where I try to go into recovery.
Unable to mount data error.
Unable to mount system error.
Same as before.
I tried using unbricker software I found, but since adb does not work properly, the software does not work properly.
I am going to see if I can work my charm and get them to take back my tablet at best buy for an infinity. I have read about other people pulling it off.
I think as we get closer to xmas my odds improve...UNLESS SOMEONE HAS ANOTHER IDEA??? I would love to try something else.
Eyeballer suggested a chat room channel thing, but most of the people are in europe and I would need to do it in the morning...I do not have time for that, but I may try it.

Download the zip:
http://goo.gl/hiFHB
Goto to Twrp recovery and install the zip..Since it supports microsd u can transfer the zip to microsd.
Goto TWRP -> INSTALL -> CHOOSE EXTERNAL SD -> INSTALL THE ZIP
It will completely wipe the internal storage and then download the official STOCK JB FROM ASUS SITE and follow the same steps to install. Now install the latest twrp recovery using fastboot

When I was doing the fullwipe the same errors happened to me.. But dont mind..I got errors like
1. No md5 file found
2. Mount error
3. Cannot find /staging
Just follow the above the steps ull get it right
did you even follow my step by step guide? you can move the stock rom from external SD to your internal SD in advance -> file manager.

Yeah, I should have said I tried that first. I also tried the stock rom from asus. When that didn't work, I tried the stock rom deodexed I found in goo.
There are a bunch of permission errors going on inside my prime. When I go into the mount area, it will not let me mount the data to move it. Or, when I try to copy it over I get a failed message.
Okay. I wiped it again, from twrp.
Then it let me move the file from the ext-sdcard to the sdcard.
I used the prime full wipe.
Then I tried to install the stock rom by transferring it in twrp file manager.
I got the file onto the sdcard, but when i tried to install, it said Failed.
That was it.
I even tried installing the ICS version I got from ASUS. Same thing.
Now, I am going to try to access via unbricker...don't know if it will work, but I am out of ideas.

That is the last rom I successfully used.
I used all sorts of different wipes. I was in twrp and noticed my pc installing the transformer adb driver. So I hopped into adb to see if it would see my device with that driver. (it did, but it wasn't before from the fastboot or adb commands with naked driver).
I tried sideloading the above rom from twrp. It worked.
Thought others might want to know.
I do not know if I can install other roms or not. I am a little scared to try just yet.

You will have the jelly bean bootloader now so as long as you stick to it you should be fine. The only other thing I would suggest is check you version of twrp, you should be running the jelly bean version of it also. And if I am not mistaken, you need to be on ics to use nvflash (although I haven't checked the op recently so I could be wrong) so definitely stay away from that unless you downgrade.

Can't unbrick. HELP! boot loop...

Hello. I have another phone and two weeks to revive this bricked phone (if it is possible).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At first, i flashed many roms and kernels while trying to find a very good non laggy rom. After flashing (i don't remeber what, but created for gt-s5830i phone) i rebooted my phone and infinitive booting started. I have a lot of experience to revive this "****", but nothing helped me.
Actually, the main problem is Can't mount /data and after flashing firmware via Odin on reboot i see something like "Applying multi-csc".. and later error about "cannot mound /data" or "cannot find /data"... something like that... And still infinitive booting (known as boot loop)... In any method of Odin flashing the same result happens.
on CWM i also can't mount /data (/system, /cache, /sd card... no problem, just only ****IN /DATA!)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am pretty sure (or mabye not ) you will tell me something about "fast reboot" program/command tool on windows. I found some info on google/xda about similar (or mabye the same) problems, but seems nothing works...
Two problems:
#Mabye I don't know how to use it on bricked phone, I can't connect to pc...
#I don't have any CWM backup :/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope you guys help me
Wipe data with stock recovery

You need flash a Bootloader file on odin, check S5830iXXLA4, S5830iOXXLA2, place "DefaultCalDataWithBoot" in bootloader and flash !

Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53557529&postcount=2302
Follow the first link and download NABI2RESIZE. Extract that.
Then in second link download hawkcore.zip and run that bat file.
You will need to setup APX driver.

So you have the ICS bootloader installed if you followed what I said above. You have to use the ICS TWRP. Use that version to do the procedure you first started with. Restore version 2.3 system, boot and addon, then before reboot the Jellybean bootloader.
Sorry for slow response out of town this weekend.
