Hi anyone willing to help. I have had a friend's TF201 for about a month and have come to the point where I can't get any further. We believe heis device has been bricked during the OTA JB update. nvFlash was never added to device.
I can get it into fastboot, however the device does not show up in device manager or shows in ADB. I have confirmed ADB working by using another device that shows up. I know that it is currently on an ICS bootloader, since the NVIDIA logo is in the center bottom. We have tried a different cable and same results.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: which I have not been able to find any literature on is that when it is booted into fastboot only 2 icons appear: 'Wipe Data" and "Fast Boot" USB Icon. There is no Android icon...THIS confuses and scares me.
Is there any hope for this device? I have done so much research and time on this, but can not come up with anything else. Anyone??
Tried connecting in ADB in Win, Mac and Ubuntu. Not showing up? Totally stumped now.r
Bump.

You do not have access to adb in fastboot. Only in a custom recovery or in the OS.
You do have access to fastboot commands tho if you have the drivers installed.
Having bricked a tf300t with the 4.2 Ota, I feel ya. Make sure you've got the correct drivers. Look at connected devices on your PC, it should say fast boot device, if it does, then your drivers are fine, going into fast boot, fastboot devices in cmd / however you have your fast boot set up. Look for your devices serial number.. It should show serial , if your drivers are correct..

I have tried all necessary things for drivers including the naked driver set for Win. Device wont show up in Linux or Mac environment either. it appears that the fastboot is ICS but it received the OTA JB update. Is there a way to recover from this? The other thing that concerned me is that in fastboot there is no Android Logo (just wipe data, and USB). Is this device recoverable from this state?
You have the upgraded bootloader. They removed a few things but it goes instantly to download mode..... when plugged in to pc. What does it say under control panel / hardware and printers. . When you plug it in. Does it make the tell tale sound?

Actually I think the incorrect fastboot had been loaded before I got it. To my understanding the OTA JB update was applied and then fastboot was added (but if the nVidia logo is in the center, that is the ICS fastboot correct?) So is my problem here that the incorrect fastboot had been flashed?

Still trying to fix this I now have no recovery and just get the two icons wipe data and fast boot or it just keeps trying to load a Rom that isn't there so it sticks on the main logo screen if I could get it to show in windows that would be great but now I have no recovery I'm not sure how to even get it to install anything once I do !

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.

hi guys and girls happy to report that thanks to the community my prime is aliiiive !!! used a utility off here called knives and forks to install adb and then downloaded fast boot and extracted to my users directory then used the fast boot command to push the blob to the prime into recovery then used adb push adb push virtuous_prime_s_9.4.2.21_v1.zip /sdcard/ and installed virtuous to get it running then it all shows up thankyou to everyone so happy took all of five minutes lol. my trip to london for 3 hours will be less boring now !!!:laugh::highfive:
I've read around on the forums trying many different things, but my problem is still here. ADB finds my phone when I am in normal phone mode, but once I go into fastboot mode it shows an empty list of attached devices. I've tried multiple different drivers and I've yet to have it show up. I tried on three different computers so far to no avail.
My friend got it working on his laptop once and flashed a kenel onto the phone that broke my wifi.. and we can't get ADB to load again to flash back the original. Sigh.
Can someone please help me?
So far I've tried HTC's drivers and the Universal drivers found on the Nexus forums. My Device Manager says Android USB Devices -> HTC, Corporation when my phone is in fastboot mode. the adb command shows List of devices attached and a black line after that. I'd show images if XDA didn't block me.

Adb doesnt work in fastboot. Use fastboot flash boot boot.img then flash the kernel modules in recovery.

Wow
Thank you very much. Complete noob at playing with Android devices .
When you flash a kernel, you have to make sure to also flash the kernel modules in recovery. That's what caused the wifi to stop working. Same thing happened to me haha.

My Moto G XT1032 won't boot, it gets into the boot animation then goes to a black screen and does nothing, I can get into the fastboot and recovery menus however when I try to do anything through adb and fastboot it's saying either waiting for device or device not found. I wanted to return back to stock 4.4.4 so I could get the lollipop update, bootloader is unlocked. When I connect my phone to the PC is makes the sound that it's connected but it won't show the internal storage, the drivers are there since I checked in device manager.
Is my phone bricked?
Any helped will be gladly appreciated!
Thanks!

Your phone is soft-bricked, but since it boots to all those modes, should be easy enough to get going. Not sure why you would expect the internal storage to show up if the device isn't booting...? Do you have a custom recovery installed? You didn't mention what you did before it stopped booting correctly either, which could be helpful info for troubleshooting. Are you sure the correct drivers are being loaded? Are you using adb and fastboot when the phone is in the correct mode to receive the commands? Fastboot doesn't work in recovery, adb doesn't work in bootloader mode, etc. Worst case scenario, just restore with RSD Lite. If you are still having issues connecting to it, then uninstall all Moto drivers, reboot the PC, then reinstall them most recent Motorola Device Manager and try again.
Hi!
First off let me say thanks to R_a_z_v_a_n for redirecting me and hope that I'll find my answer here ^^
So I Have this device called HP 7 VoiceTab 1321RA (not with Slate just HP 7 Voicetab), wanting to have a custom recovery then I tried to flash a CWM Custom Recovery for HP Slate 7 VoiceTab because I thought it was the same and ends up bricking my phone. It ends up in a bootloop which only shows HP sign for a few seconds and dead. But I managed to find out that I can access the recovery menu (or so I thought it is), but the options was choosing between Fastboot Mode, Normal Boot, Recovery Mode, and VART Mode.
I tried to enter Fastboot Mode before and tried to access it via PC but somehow I can't find the device by entering adb devices and fastboot devices. Anyways, I have downloaded a stock update.zip for it but not the original KitKat one which I get from the first time I bought it but rather the JB ones. I think by flashing this would help me recover the device but the only problem is I don't know which method should I use to Flash it. Since I don't have the Stock Recovery or ANY kind of recovery at all, I guess I'm stuck. And it won't start to the home page so I can't set the USB debugging options. Please guide me through this >.<
Thanks a lot!
Been fighting with it for 2 days now and still no result came.
So here's the update so far....
I tried on my other device in order to understand how my PC reads ADB and now I kinda gets it. But the problem is now can't get the device to enable USB Debugging because I can't access options at all.
Secondly, since I left it on for the night because charging seems to trigger the bootloop too, now I can't access the fastboot mode like I was last night. And it constantly repeating this sequence: [battery scene with the "charging battery" symbol] > [HP Powered by Android screen] repeated for 2-3 times > [low battery need charging screen] > repeat. And once I tried to connect to the PC, it goes to the same sequence too. When I tried to access the boot options (the screen which displays Fastboot Mode, Normal Boot, Recovery Mode, and UART Mode which I mention in Thread Starting post), it shows the low battery need charging scene and then repeating the same sequence as mentioned above.
I seem to figure out how to fix this but I still can't manage to access the fastboot mode yet. Will give update once I can try to.
Anyone can help me on this?
Thanks a lot!
Update!
Somehow with a little tweaking and stripping the device, I managed to solve the charging problems. Will update on this once my problem finished.
Jump out from the frying pan and into the fire so they say, I ran into another problem. Finally managed to get into fastboot mode, the devices manager reads it as an Android Device>ROMaster ADB device like the other device I tried to connect while in ADB mode and fastboot mode, but somehow CMD cannot read the device as an ADB device or a Fastboot device like the other device did. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver and still nothing happens. I tried to find the usb_driver on the internet and it directs me to the update.zip instead. Trying to update the driver via Computer Management but it says the driver is up to date. Now thinking about making an emulator device based on the HP 7 VoiceTab 1321RA but I really have no idea how to make one. Any one have any idea of what should I do next or can guide me through this? At least until the CMD can read the fastboot.
Thanks a lot!
I found my self in a deadlock!
PLEASE HELP :crying:
Could you unbrick yours
What service centre says about that problem i also ran in this problrm but i m trying to go to service centre for that
first off install drivers in your PC as admin
then use the official flashtool to flash ur stock firmware by entering fastboot or flashmode simple as that
@Sunderesh, thanks for the suggestion, however, couldnt get any official flashtool for hp voicetab. Can you suggest one please?

You can't access TWRP because you over-wrote it with the factory RUU firmware image, it isn't there anymore...
Download TWRP image from TWRP official site at https://dl.twrp.me/vigor/ or Flyhalf's build at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1902381
Either one is good... then start fastboot, connect usb and flash recovery with the command:
fastboot flash recovery <path/filename of TWRP IMG file>
give it a minute or so, reboot into Hboot and start TWRP.
im having a similar issue but my computer always says waiting for device in command prompt. I have all the drivers installed and the phone says "usb fastboot" or "fastboot usb" (cant recall what order those 2 words are in LoL)

You probably have a driver issue then... Install HTC Sync, connect the phone, then disconnect it, remove HTC Sync and it should work. If that doesn't work, try a different USB port.
Honestly, I switched to Linux a long time ago... I don't have driver issues. If you were running Linux, even a live or USB key distro, you would access it easily.
