Dear community,
I tried to boot into CWM (installed via Rom Manager) but nothing happend after the reboot-to-recovery, invoked via Rom Manager. The tablet was stuck at boot, displaying the Asus logo. No animations and no error messages were displayed. I needed to press and hold power to reset my prime so it would boot my rom again. I was still able to load fastboot (power + volume down)
Next I tried to reboot-to-recovery using Goo Manager. The same issue occurred, stuck at startup, displaying the Asus logo, but now I am unable to recover from that state to load the rom!. When resetting my prime it is still stuck at displaying the Asus logo. No animations and no error message displayed. I can also no longer enter the menu using power+volume down...
I am afraid I perma-bricked my Prime but ofcourse hope it is not the case. Can anybody help me confirming my fear?
Thank you for helping me out!

That is bricked unfortunately.
CWM only ever worked on the ICS bootloader and there are warning everywhere on here never to use it.
You needed the correct version of TWRP for what bootloader you was on.
If you cannot get into the rom, the bootloader menu or you have nvflash backups that you created before then you are out of luck.
Hi flumpster, Thanks for clearing this up :good:
I think I have the similar problem. I have TF201 Android 4.1.2 installed and a PC Ubuntu 13.04 installed.
-First of all, I used unlocker releases by Asus. Then I loaded CWM by fastboot, but it didn't launch, I loaded CWM Touch, but it didn't launch, I loaded TWRP and again it didn't launch. When I tried to launch recovery rom every time it stuck at splashscreen.(It says booting recovery rom or smth like that)
-Then I tried to start unlocker again, it gave network error.(If you shut down the wifi it asks for internet, I think Asus collecting some information about prime.)
-Then I rooted my device. Again it stuck at splashscreen while trying to launch recovery rom. I reloaded recovery roms again it didn't work. I choose restart to recovery from the ROM MANAGER, it stuck again but nothing about "booting recovery rom" just "device is unlocked" writen. Then finally I installed CWM from ROM Manager again and I choose restart to recovery from GOO Manager. Boom! I think it tries to boot recovery rom in everytime. I can't boot android, I can't boot fastboot, power+volume down didn't work. Even I can't close it, it always restarts and I had to wait until the battery last.
So is there anything to do?

Hello,
I just installed CWM on my unlocked, rooted transformer prime, and when I try to boot into recovery, it just show the loading bar under the eeepad logo, goes blank, show the logo again, then boots normally. Is there a way to get into CWM without the app? I tried 'reboot recovery in the terminal already'. I really want my Team EOS Rom!
Any help is appreciated.
Sounds silly but...are you holding just volume down and power? Otherwise, flash it again from Rom Manager, that should fix the issue.
My TF201 Trans. Prime was running very buggy and slow, so I decided to restore it. It is running Virtuous Prime 9.4.2.15 v2.
After I restored it, it got stuck on the ClockworkMod Recovery loop. I tried wiping data, cache, and dalvick, and then reinstalling Virtuous Prime, but no luck.
The recovery menu doesn't even show the external sd, so I can't use other roms and methods because the only rom in the internal sd is the Virtuous Prime rom...which isn't working. Before the restore, the tablet was rooted (I don't know if it stays rooted after wiping and restoring).
When hooked to my computer, my pc won't even recognize anymore. I have ADB and Asus drivers installed on my pc.
I have tried using "adb shell" as per the 1a unbrick method located here, but it says device not found.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. THX
I finally got my Transformer Prime back to the buggy Virtuous Prime rom after being stuck in CWM recovery mode loop. I had to force install the drivers and use the cmd prompt to follow the "1a" brick method.
After I got back to the buggy rom, I decided to install goomanager. I went to recover mode through goomanager so I can flash a rom, and now I'm stuck at the EeePad logo loop. It never went into a recovery.
When I press power and volume down, the only thing that happens is I get the little prompt from the upper-right corner that says "Android carhu-user bootloader..." then it just loops again. I do not get the other options...even when I press volume up afterwards.
When I press power and volume up, the tablet just turns off.
My pc doesn't recognize the tablet right now so my options are dwindling.
Please help...any possible solutions?
So a friend recently bought this spanish voxter tab 97 IPS (16GB) and after a few days of usage and several attempt to install a custom ROM, the tablet stopped booting. According to him, he tried loading a "compatibility bla bla bla.zip" file with CMW which I really do not know what it is, and since he did the installation, the tab stopped booting into system. Every time it's turned on, it just stops at the boot screen and nothing more. Although before this, he had installed a custom recovery and had also done a Nandroid backup with the recovery. However, what baffles me is, CMW is no longer accessible through the normal "power + volume up" key combo and I'm quite unsure of how to boot into fastboot.
That aside, I tried booting into recovery with adb because apparently, adb recognizes the device whenever it's stuck at boot screen, this also failed, neither did rebooting into fastboot via adb work. All I need to know is if this device is totally bricked, or if there's still something I can do. If there's any, I really would appreciate every help offered. Thanks..
I've had my Prime unlocked since I got it, I recently put on TWRP but kept the 4.1.1 OS stock rooted. Last night it was running slow, so I did a Data Wipe from the TWRP recovery screen. Now whenever I start it, it hangs on the ASUS splashscreen and does not boot. Holding the volume down and power button does not allow me to boot into recovery and my computer does not recognize it if I try to plug it in. This post sounds a lot like it, but I don't see a solution to it here. Thank you for any help!
Hi all,
I own the Acer A3-B20 and had it rooted some time ago with Kingroot. Installed a system update by Acer a few days ago and since then the tablet only boots in Recovery Mode. Resetting to factory defaults does not help, the filesystem integrity checker shows a few modified files.
Only viable option in recovery mode seems flashing a new firmware and I tried to do so with the currently available offical ROM from Acer: "AV0L0.B3-A20.RV03RC06.WW.GEN1". Flashing starts successfully but ends in the android screen of death (lying robot with red triangle).
Does anybody have a better idea on what to try? I haven't been able to find another firmware to try except the aforementioned.
Cheers,
Jarek

Try Wiping your System partition then doing a Clean Install of the ROM using Fastboot.
Hopefully there will be a option in your Recovery to restart the device in boot loader mode(that's fastboot).
Hi,
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately I'm not able to enter bootloader mode. Recovery mode has an option "Reboot to bootloader" which causes the tablet to power down, nothing else happens.
Also, booting up with Power+Volume Down/Up (tried both) only boots to the same recovery mode.

To access the recovery menu on my B3-A20, I use the Volume-Down by itself; The Power+Volume-up combination starts a Chinese factory test/debug menu.
