Hi guys, newbie here. I've been an Android user for a while now, but never needed to post because I didn't feel like I could contribute with my very limited knowledge. It's unfortunate that my first post has to be a plea for help, but I've no other choice. :crying:
I was trying to revert my unlocked TF201 back to an official Asus ROM from the current Cyanogenmod ROM, and successfully flashed it using TWRP. (Went into TWRP > Install > Selected the ROM > Success! > Reboot). My TF201 tablet now gets past the initial boot phase (where it says device is unlocked on the top left and Powered by Nvidia on the bottom right), but once it gets to the next screen with the Asus logo and the YouTube loading sign (the spinning circular thing), it halts. The YouTube loading sign-looking thing is spinning, but it doesn't really go anywhere.
If it's of any help, I am able to power it off and restart the tablet.

I wish I could tell you, but I don't know. I received this tablet a few days ago as part of a trade. TWRP is no longer on there anymore, and the RCP(?) thing, the recovery kernel, has an Android w/ an exclamation mark whenever I select it.

Hold down power and volume down the same time until the machine restarts. Keep holding them down until you get the icons on screen (rck, wipe, usb etc). Look up the top left and there is a load of writing. At the end of the long line with bootloader in it is a number that's starts with either 9 or 10. What is it?
I managed to get it to boot into the Asus official ROM somehow. I selected something from the pwr+vol down option and it booted up fine. It was originally in Chinese though, but fortunately I knew my way around Android well enough to change the language.
Case closed, thanks for all the help!

Hello Friends,
I just got my G-tab today morning and rite now it not working (Not even 12 hours)
Its still intact in factory condition with Android 2.2 and all latest updates. I haven't jail broke it yet.
I just downloaded 'LaunchPro' from G-Market and the screen got hanged so I rebooted.
It shows Viewsonic Screen with birds >> g Tablet logo >> Tap n Tap >> Tap and Tap disappears and gets stuck in 'n' and 'paw' screen.
I am sure there should be a cure for this as I haven't done anything yet. Also its not in boot loop. Just stays on the screen.
Please help me.
Please help guys??
Read up on clockworkmod, nvflash, and visit member goodintentions's gtabfordummies website.

Congrats, you have somehow bricked your gtab before you even tried to flash a custom rom.
You're a code red.

It's not bricked. I've seen this happen on stock ROM's when multiple launchers are installed but no default launcher has been selected. Try a data wipe from recovery (if you have an early stock recovery look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030915).
If that clears it up then you can reinstall whatever launcher(s) you like just make sure to make one default.

Really? Cool! Since I used the stock rom for about 5 minutes before I ditched it, I'm happy someone else knows about it more than I do.

I ditched it pretty quickly, too. In this case the first place I noticed this problem was on one of Roebeet's stock-based ROMs (Mountain Laurel, I think). Another one of those "It's failing for everyone but me" kind of moments so I decided to research it. Took a few times to duplicate it successfully since it doesn't happen on every stock ROM either. More likely on 1.2 based stuff.
I got my TF201 back yesterday from Asus after 1-2 months after I sent it in to see if anything can be done about the cracked screen issue... nothing.
The first thing I did when I got it back was update apps, backup apps, and then I decided to install 'AndroWook Prime Hairy Bean', so I downloaded it onto my Prime, went into ROM Manager, found an update for ClockworkMod, which I installed. I then proceeded to select the ROM to be installed, ticked back up current rom (Cyanogenmod 10 Unofficial), and wipe data, and clicked enter.
When I opened up recovery, it came up with TWRP, and did nothing, so I went to backup my ROM but didn't have enough data.
I tried to re-install an older ClockworkMod as I prefer it, and tried to connect with fastboot, and then followed instructions, but got a bit lost... (I'm 13..) Tried again, failed..
This bit is a bit of a blur, but I believe I tried to open up Recovery again, didn't work so I loaded up an app (Transformer reboot to Recovery), which hung on loading up recovery, did Vol-Down and rebooted..
I think it was then that it displayed the Splash Screen and hung, with 'The Device is UnLocked.' in the top left corner, ASUS logo in centre and NVidia Tegra bottom right..
Researched online and found no results.. I don't have NVFlash, but I'm curious as to whether this will work: androidroot .mobi/2012/05/27/introducing-wheelie-nvflash-for-asus-transformer-tf101-b70 as my laptop displays APX.
I appreciate any responses, this is all so daunting for me and I don't know what to do..

I don't like the sound of this. If you flashed an ICS recovery on there (which I think you have with clockworkmod) after having the jellybean bootloader on there (which I think you do because nVidia logo is bottom right) then you might be hard bricked.
Hold down power and volume down for 10 seconds when off. If you do not get to the screen with icons on like usb icon and wipe icon and you cannot enter recovery then I'm afraid you are hard bricked.
Thanks... *curls up into a ball and cries to death* What can I do now? Anywhere I can sell it or what..?
Did you have any luck getting to fastboot? If you failed flashing clockworkmod you might still have a chance.
Not that I know of.. just recognises APX on laptop..
Looks like you are hard bricked. As you said you don't have NVFlash so APX mode is unusable for you (you have to have files generated just for your device to be able to use APX).
If you could get into fastboot, you could have change of fixing it.
You can send it to Asus to have it fixed and pay for it ~260$ I think - look somewhere on Q&A forum, or sell it as bricked to someone who has broken his screen on ebay (or other site). Or you can have it as pretty expensive paper weight, sorry.
I did the exact same thing you did man. Was looking for an answer when I saw this thread...lol
EDIT: Also what is APX? Just got my Prime last week haha
I really hate to hear that this happened to you guys. FYI: a bricked Prime usually goes for between 150 and 200 bucks on eBay, depending on its condition.
I know that's not fantastic news, but at least you could put that towards a new tablet.
Or you could naturally pay Asus to repair it.

I just unlocked and installed Androwook1.51 last night. No problems once I realized I had to wipe data since my prime had been encrypted under stock 4.1.1 But I figured that as long as I could get into TWRP I was probably OK, right?

Oh.. It has suffered from the cracked screen issue and I've broken the Micro HDMI slot by tripping over the wire :L
How much would it cost for those two to be fixed, along with the splash screen issue?
I am pretty sure I know the answer but want to make sure its true as its a costly issue: I did some searching and found a lot of threads with different options over the last few years, so just want to confirm; I have:
Asus Transformer Prime TF201, unlocked with latest ICS official (WW) installed via SD Card
I was intending on giving the tablet away to a family member, so decided to factory reset the device. I went to the PWR+VOL Down menu, and selected wipe which I read was the way to perform a factor reset. After a long time of this process, the tablet powered off (was plugged into mains with full batteries). I powered on by pressing PWR button some time later. Now the tablet just boots onto the screen that states "The device is UnLocked" in the top left, ASUS in the middle (and some lies about perfection), and the bottom right "Powered by Nvidia TEGRA".
If I power on:
1. PWR + VOL Down, nothing happens, it boots to the same screen, no menu
2. PWS + VOL UP, the screen is black, the tablet vibrates and if i have it plugged into a PC it detects it in APX mode.
I've tried a full power cycle, and read about the nvflash tool. I unfortunately have no nvflash backups, I'm not sure that tool was around when I unlocked the tablet, and as i'd not been flashing any custom roms (although I had intended) I'd not seen that tool before.
As I understand the state of affairs is:
1. Somehow the bootloader is jiggered, i guess the wipe didn't work right
2. APX is useless if you don't have some backups created with a tool
3. The only current solution is to send it to ASUS and pay almost exactly the same price as a new tablet costs
Is there any other options I can do with an unlocked tablet and only access to APX?
Any likelihood that there is anything that can be done with nvflash in the future without needing a custom backup that is unique per tablet?

Bricked TF201 - Stuck in bootscreen
I have the exact same problem. :crying:
Please, I know that there are many brilliant minds in this forum, help us n00bs get out of this mess and lead us into the light. Oh, and bump this thread
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I hate hit and run thread posters so I will provide an update.
I am afraid that my tablet was bricked. No way back from that state after reading the entire internet. I have purchased a replacement motherboard, popped open the case and replaced this. After replacing the motherboard, I now have a working tablet. I wish someone would have documented the NVFlash process requirements previously, but that's the risk of following guides on android sites I guess.
So to summarise the initial post, if you are in that state, at current and likely forever, you are hardbricked and the tablet can not be recovered in that states without a previous backup. The only way for it to be repaired is to send it to Asus who have a database of firmware, etc. and will charge you for repairs (~200€), or to go on ebay and purchase this motherboard:
0K0AMBA000
This will cost you ~80€ + shipping, and you must be comfortable working with electronics. Its mostly very clear when you pop off the case, everything has its place. You will need some plastic case pries and a small screw driver.

This sucks, I did the same exact thing last night factory resetting it to give it to my brother. I still don't understand what exactly I did wrong as I've factory reset this thing before. I had CM on it before but have been using the stock rooted ROM & recovery for the past 6+ months.
bricked?
I've been scouring that internet and haven't been able to find a case exactly like mine, but most are similar. From what I can remember (it's been months since I initially 'bricked' it), I was upgrading a cm nightly and did the data/cache/dalvik wipe like the instructions said and I became stuck in a bootloop after leaving recovery. When I tried volume-down and power, I was left with the original 3 options and after some reboots and shutdowns I ended up doing a factory data wipe. From there, when I rebooted the phone I was left with just 'Wipe Data' and 'Fastboot.' Wipe data does nothing more and when I choose fastboot I am left a message 'Starting fastboot usb download protocol' which never changes.
I have tried to push TWRP onto the device but I can't get into recovery (unless I'm doing something wrong of course). Sorry if I missed a duplicate of my post somewhere on here, but if so can someone at least point me in the right direction? Thanks!

try another ROM
This has worked for me everytime, possibly due to dud bootloader install or some other thing: so long as I was able to recover to CWM with pwr+vol down, I installed virtuous prime rom. This rom was on sdcard already, not sure if you can get from adb if machine in this state. Anyhow, this virtuous prime rom replaced the booting sequence, restored OS and machine worked again.
Asus TF201 stuck on Asus Logo
My Asus Tablet was slow while browsing, and it had JB 4.1.1 with stock rom, so i tried to unlock the device, which was successful and was planning to push the CM11 Kit Kat. I booted in to recovery mode as i could see the 4 icons and then tried to do wipe data/factory reset and then it rebooted and got stuck on the asus logo and at the right bottow with the message powered by NVIDIA Tegra. I tried all the options to get into recovery and also downloaded drivers on my laptop for APX, but no luck at all. What are my options or if any one was successful to get it fixed. Appreciate any help here from smart guys out there. Thanks

Hi,
I recently unlocked and rooted my device. Asus Transformer Prime (TF201).
I tried to boot it into recovery, wouldn't boot the rom, kept freezing, hard reset it. Then it booted into the official android version, I was running 4.1.1, build # 10.4.2.18
Then I went into recovery, and I was like "oh yeah, I remember reading that it has to be a fresh install, that way there's no incompatibility". So I decided to press the down button until I got to erase everything in the menu, I did it. Erased it, device reset itself, and now it's stuck in the main loading screen, where it says Asus, this device is unlocked in the top left, and the nvidia symbol in the bottom right. The device wont boot into anything, not even recovery settings. Is there a fix? Or did I just make my tablet a paper weight?
I tried searching the web, I found all these articles, and frankly I'm very overwhelmed, and didn't know what to do or which one to read. I just got the tablet as a Valentines Day gift from my wife, and I would have to have ruined it. Please help me.
EDIT: I got my device to appear as "APX" in devices and printers, it's an unknown device. But I'm still lost.

There is only hope, if you can manage to get into bootloader screen by pressing power + vol down.
APX mode would only help you, if you had pulled your nvflash files.

Hi, u can follow the steps listed in this blog. I just installed CM11 using the same steps over the weekend. U need to perform a factory reset and wipe the cache after u installed the ROM using the CWM recovery. If not, it will be struck in the boot screen with the arrow going in circle.

Hi,
I've same problem!
I tried to flash to android 5.0. I tried many things via twrp and now, thats it:
My TF201 stucks also at bootscreen and the recovery menu (Power on + Vol.Down) won't work. That means I'm not able to get in fastboot mode or something like that. The only possiblity to switch the device off at the moment is to unplug the battery
I've searched for a solution in many boards, but unitl now i haven't found anything.
At the moment it seems that the only possibility we have, is to change mainboard, or to try to connect via an external programmer (for flashing the memory), but that would be for sure not the easiest way, or it could be also nearly impossible.
So at the moment I'm praying to god, that someone will have another solution and will post it here, because otherwise I can cast away my loved transformer prime :crying:
Looking forward to hear any news about that topic :fingers-crossed:

You say this "My TF201 stucks also at bootscreen and the recovery menu". Does that mean you can still access recovery (TWRP)?

No, thats the problem, since yesterday it is not possible, because I tried to flash back to an older version of TWRP, and since that I can't access RCK and then I tried to wipe data, and since that, I even can't access to recovery console (Power on + Vol.Down).
That means I can't do anything at the moment, I see only the asus boot logo and that's it.
So I have no idea to communicate with the tablet at the moment.
The problem was, that I was not really careful, because my opinion was, that it's impossible to brick the whole tablet, but now it's gone!
Is that the end of the story, or do you know therefore a solution?
Regards,
Jim
Seems that you are in APX mode. Hope you have your blob + nvflash and wheelie to restore the bricksafe.img. (It saved my TF when i was in your position)

Is that the end of the story, or do you know therefore a solution?
Regards,
Jim

Unfortunately unless you have nvflash backups then you will have to get the board replaced. Forget contacting Asus as they would charge you more than the tablet is worth. Try and find one with a smashed screen on ebay etc cheap that still works that you can swap the board out from.

Seems that you are in APX mode. Hope you have your blob + nvflash and wheelie to restore the bricksafe.img. (It saved my TF when i was in your position)
Good luck

Thanks for your feedback,
So I don't have these files :crying:
I found also another thread with same story, and it seems that I can search for a new MoBo....
