About a year or so ago I installed Prime (HTJ85B.prime_epad-1.7-20110804) and Kernel ([email protected] #92).
I haven't really used my Transformer that much, but now I'm wanting to use it more and trying to fix an issue I have with it.
Everytime I power it on, I have to do the Power + Vol Down step and then press Volume Up for it to load to Android, but if I simply press Power then it gets stuck at the splash screen and never moves. I've tried rebooting into Recovery from Rom Manager and from holding down Power when the device is on and hitting recovery, but it just reboots and gets stuck on the splash screen.
Wanting to get an updated Rom and all installed, but I cannot figure out how to get to Recovery in order to install it.
Can anyone help with this issue, please?

I installed CWM initially, but it never rebooted automatically after installing. I rebooted it manually and all hell broke loose. The only way that I can start g tab now is if I use nvflash. Once I got the system working, I tried shutting down and then getting into CWM again, but a no go. It doesn't even start regularly, with just the power button being pressed. Any advice?
It turns out that I am stuck in the APX mode all the time. If I press just the power button, the APX mode comes on. How can I get out of it?

Other wise of course there is always NVFLash

I am running cyanmod 7 and it works ok.
I am trying to upgrade to flashback. I hit the power button and + volume at the sametime. I see text saying detect a recovery key was presses. Then it says booting a recovery image and the screen goes black. The grab is off.
I tried placing clockworksmod8 the internal and external sdcards and tried the power + volume and the screen goes black I had on the gtab and I don't know what happened to it).
I tried running nvflash but it tries to install and apx driver and goes into a found new hardware loop.
What do you suggest I try next?
Is there a Recovery option when shutting down from the menu?
So I installed this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200985) a few days ago w/o much trouble. Today I updated the ROM to version 2.4 (first used wipe.zip and then the rom). When I rebooted my tab I got stuck at a bootloop (the ROM's logo keeps showing up) and it seems I'm unable to get into recovery.
AFAIK, I should get into recovery by pressing the VOLUME UP & and the power button simultaneously, but nothing happens when I do this. Getting into fastboot isn't a problem, but I just can't seem to get into recovery mode.
Can I access my recovery menu through the fastboot via the SDK manager? Did I use the correct buttons to get into recovery?
Thanks in advance
You should push on both Power Button and Volume Down buttons. Right after the Samsung logo shows, you will see two menus, let go of both buttons immediately and choose your recovery boot. i hope this will help your problem
Hello everyone.
Searching the forum I couldn't find a similar problem
I have installed the Rom Manager, and installed the CWM recovery Rom manager that is required. When I clicked the Backup Current ROM, that's when my problems started. Tablet reboots, turned on the screen as if it will boot and then shuts down. From that moment have I never managed to get further than the black screen.
I tried to connect tablet to the computer and enter the APX (press and hold, vol- and power button, or vol+ and power button or press and hold BACK and power button), but the computer does not recognize tablet at all. No birds, just nothing, screen just power up, and than shut down...
I even tried opening the tablet and removing the connector from the battery, but that didn't work too...
Has anyone had similar experiences and if anyone has an idea how to fix it?
Hey Guys,
I decided to unlock my Prime after a year now.. Today I unlocked it, by using the asus unlock tool and tried to install cmw recovery with Rom Manager.
After that I hit the "Restart into Recovery" button and an Android with an Red triangle appeared. I pressed the power button and hold, to restart the Prime. All fine, I thought and tried to boot into recovery by using vol - and Power.
After that the Prime stucks on Splash Asus Screen and I have no adb or fastboot access. I cant turn it off, it just restarts when I hold the power button.
Im on JB bootloader (nvidea logo on the left bottom).
Can anyone Help me please?

Nvidia logo is never bottom left it will either be bottom center or bottom right.
If it is bottom right then you have installed Cwm which is made for an ICS bootloader onto a JB bootloader and you have now hard bricked yourself.
There are warnings all over this forum about not using Cwm on prime sorry.
