My tablet died during a factory reset. - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I need some consolation. I unlocked my tablet using the asus unlocker. I did not have a custom rom installed but it was rooted. One day i needed more space on my tablet, i decided to be lazy and instead of deleting the apps i would factory reset the device. i used cwm as the factory reset instead of the one in the system. during the reset my tablet's battery dies. now it is completely bricked it will boot to the screen saying that the tablet is unlocked and won't progress past that. i have tried every combination of buttons and i cannot get into the cwm recovery nor any other screen. The tablet is completely unresponsive. Is there a way that i could open the tablet take the hard drive and format it on my computer. Then replace it with new firmware and boot loader? Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Clockwork Mod Won't Open, Help!

Hi.
I was installing Clockwork Mod externally onto my Viewsonic G Tablet. It started to install and was taking awhile I left the room and when I came back the tablet was off. I turned it back on and now my tablet won't go into recovery mod. It opens just fine, but I can't get it to open into recovery mod or Clockwork Mod. Just freezes up when every I power and +.
How can I fix Clockwork Mod or remove Clockwork Mod?
X that. I thought I would give a factory reset a try. So I went into settings and factory reset the thing. Well it restarted and when it got to the viewsonic birds it says "booting recovery kernal image" and never change. I have some how bricked the unbrickable G Tablet. Only my luck. Murphy's Law.
No you haven't. Factory reset uses recovery mode to perform it's operation so if ClockworkMod didn't install properly it will just hang. You need to nvflash a good recovery partition image onto the tablet then the factory reset will be able to complete and things should be fine.
NVflash back to stock and start over.
Does Nvflash give any indication that it's working? I'm trying to load Clockworkmod after dorking it up with Rom Manager, and I get
"Nvflash started" and a blinking cursor on the next line as a result. I can't tell if it's doing anything, or just sitting there.
Edit: 2 hours later when I gave up, it did detect when I unplugged the USB cable.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How do I do this? I did the nvflash, then the factory reset, installed clockwork, when I try to start in cw mode, it still says "booting recovery kernel image" under "detect a recovery key pressed", then has the update looking box, then boots right into stock rom. Please help!!!
EDIT: I think I got this figured out by following the instructions here (In case anyone else has this problem).

Nvflash should give you plenty of feedback in the dos shell or terminal window you're running it in. If you aren't getting any then it isn't working properly. That could be a driver issue under windows or possibly the tablet not being in APX mode when you start the process.

[Q] Can't access recovery nor reset to factory settings on rooted device

Hello,
I own an Android tablet KO PARA1 FULL and experiencing a strange problem. This is a chinese atm7029 quadcore tablet (16gb, 1gb ram, without bluetooth, only wifi, bu supports 3g dongle), running android 4.1.1 nad 3.4.0+ kernel, which came prerooted. After some time I've decided to install backup programs on in to make a full backup of the device for the case something would go wrong, and after some trying I descovered, that there is something like recovery for that purposes which seemed a good solution for me. I decided to install CWM, which I managed to install without problems and made some backups on my device. Everything was fine, I did some factory resets through the time, some restoring processes from my previously backup states of the device, was always able to activate CWM recovery menu through Reboot to recovery or through combination of Volume down a Power button...
Until last saturday. I was normaly surfing the internet, reading mails and afterwords I powered my tablet off (it is draining battery in sleep mode, but its another story..). After a while wanted again to write a mail, so I powered it on. In that momet seemed the screen too dirty for me and I tried to cleen it little bit throug the bootup process. Unfortunately I obvious confused the system with it and after boot it was not responding properly. I did not wait enough and after a while powered it off with power key pressed for a long time, to make a new boot.
But when I powered it on again, it stayed stuck in boot logo and did not boot at all. I've tried a copple of times to boot it again with no cuccess, stayed stuck in boot logo for more then 10 min...
Afterwards I decided to make it boot up with the help of computer. I downloaded adb and drivers and somehow managed to make it boot up. I thing I was too excited to see it boot up again, that during boot up process I desconected my device from computer...
My worries were reliesed and I thought it would be a good idea to make a restore from backup to prevent some strange behaviour, so wanted to boot into recovery, but nothing had happened. After some repeated clicks on Boot into recovery button, as well as app called rebooter with nothing happening, I decided to try it out through button combination. It has not worked as well Next try was to reset to factory settings. But when I go through the menu, I can click on reset to factory settings button, seeing warning that I will lost ma data, then I can push the button to make it happen, but nothing is happening. I see only the screen with the button, can touch it 100 times and the tablet stays on, fully funcional. making no factory reset as it done before.
I did a lot of reading and searching, but have not find answer for my problem. I flashed recovery images from my backups (using flashify, flash gordon, adb shell, terminal emulator), from all previously functional states of the device. I refleshed the CWM recovery downloaded from the internet for my chipset, which previously did the job just perfect, with no success...
I am still not able to reach recovery menu. For me it seems like the bootloader would be locked, but I did not find the answer how to unlock it without to be able to start in some recovery state to use fastboot command to unlock it.
Otherwise, my device is functional, still rooted, i can use it without any other problems. But not be able to do recovery from my backups, even do a factory reset.
How can I restore my access to recovery mode? Is it somehow possible?
Hopfully it is not too much information (tryied to follow the intructions and wrote everything I thought would be important to know about) and you will not be bothered to read all my story and pull me out of my darkness with helpfull suggestion.
Thanks a lot in advance

[Q] Chinese (digiin/irulu x10) stuck in factory reset loop

After rooting the tablet this afternoon using "Genius Root" I somehow managed to get it stuck in a hard (factory reset) loop. It's a digiin/iRulu X10 on android 4.2.2. Got the tab rooted and was loading some apps and playing around. Loaded SuperSU to replace the KingUser app loaded with the root - it was after that (don't remember what else I'd done) that it reset and, on rebooting, was in the reset loop.
Did manage to (once) get to a screen showing some options but don't know how I got there and can't get back to it. I tried an option that was something like 'use .apk file to reboot' and that didn't help.
Any ideas on how I can break it out of the loop or get back to that options screen?
I have also tried the 'power/volume' reset with no luck...
Thanks much in advance for your help, Vern

[Q]DigiLand DL1010Q softbricked

Ok, here is the deal and I hope someone can help me. I have a cheap DigiLand DL1010Q tablet to play around with. It is stock, but I rooted it with KingRoot. There was a recent OTA wireless update and after it was installed it said that it needed to go into recovery mode to install and reboot. I selected install now and reboot. This is where my problem started and has remained. It loaded into recovery mode and is in an endless boot loop. I've tried rebooting it, recovery with the recovery file and every manual reset possible to no avail. DigiLand support said that I should power down the tablet, and while holding down the Volume Down (-) hit the power button and it will boot into a Chinese recovery mode. I've tried that and it just stays on the DigiLand screen forever. (I left it there for 8 hours.) I can sideload via ADB and the drivers are installed, but it will not let me load anything. It states that the bootloader is closed. I receive the same message via Fastboot. Now here is the interesting thing. Even after selecting the factory reset within the Recovery Mode, everything is still there. I have wiped the cache and partition and user data, but nothing really happens. It is still all there. I see the recovery file, but it will not load. All I see is NO Command.
I do have a sd card that I could flash things on, but it doesn't seem to register the card. It sees the sdcard, but that is the internal drive. How do I get it to look at the sdcard that I put into the slot? Is there a bootloader unlock? Does anyone have the factory image that I can put on my sdcard? HELP!!!!
I am fairly good with computers and have rooted phones and tablets before, but I seem to be hitting my head on a bricked wall - no pun intended. Let me know what programs, files or whatever. At this point I am willing to try anything. I can send it back to China for $50 for them to redo it, but I only paid $69 for it and I'm not going to put more money into this cheap tablet. I would just like to get it to work.

My zenfone 2 will not boot

I had my phone rooted, and did a system update without realizing you cant do that if you're phone is rooted. So the asus logo and the loading sign appear, but it does nothing beyond that point. I would just do a factory reset from recovery, but i cant get into recovery in the first place, and since it wont boot up, i cant system reset using adb. If i cant fix it my phone is completely bricked
