Did you try to connect to fastboot? Maybe your screen is broken (or if you are lucky the screen connector is loose). Does it vibrate when you turn it on?
It is very improbable to brick this device by flashing something. At least I never heard of it. Only thing known to me to fully brick your folio is by pressing 4x Power and volume down on boot (don't try that...).
When i press the power button it does nothing, only the power led on the right turns green (white when on AC ).
Also, when i connect it to usb and do a fastboot devices i get no respons. Realy think i did something wrong and bricked it :S

did u try removing the battery?.. or maybe the reset pinhole at the back?.. who knows it might work..
I brick my Folio too, and now it don't have logo when power on.
I tried to get battery off and press the reset on the back, and nothing happened.
How to rescue a fully brick folio?

apologize for interfering & oftop, but certainly cant keep silence - "impossible to brick" - same i was told abt my dell streak device, but here I'm with bricked device on hands, where only ORT-JTAG can help :-(
it was bricked when PC hanged during rom flashing....so I guess every chance is possible :-(
Shidima_101 can you describe in detail before/during brick ?
Well, I'm not really sure what i did. And i think that is the problem. I was installing a new rom, and left it unattended. When I came back, something was wrong and I started messing with some options. Witch turned out to be wrong i guess
Tho I'm a little further now. When I connect the tablet I my pc recognizes its there a device, but I'm not sure I can get it working again. Tomorrow I have some time to look at it more.
Sader0 can you give me some info on ORT-JTAG? Do you know if its possible to do this on the Folio100 ? I don't mind opening up the tablet to get it back in to working order.
I'm in the same situation.
After the update to the last version, my folio apparently boot but the screen is blank. The backlight is on but nothing appears on the screen.
I'm able to go in Fastboot or in recovery mode, but formatting cache. system and reflashing different roms do not solve the issue
What I should do ?
SOLVED !

Not sure if I can even get to fastboot, but ill give it a try tomorrow. Im at my work now and didnt bring the tablet

Ok, I have a small update. After trying a lot of different stuff, and nothing working, I decided to bring my tablet back to the store. First I tried to get them to switch my device for a new one, but that was a no go. So the device was returned to Toshiba for a check up and fix.
I was a little afraid that they would find out that i rooted and bricked my device, but today I got a letter telling me I can come pick it up and it was fixed free of charge
So tomorrow I'm going back to pick up my tablet
So my dad decided to finally get into the android scene after losing a debate over Apple vs Android tablets with me.
Managed to get a P7500DXKI2, White Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G and I've flashed around many android phones/mods and firmwares long enough to know the workarounds of Odin, After reading a major share of the stickied threads I decided to give it a go with what I understood.
Used Odin and the firmware from the provided link below in order to get the job done.
[http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217590]
However after flashing the ROM via PDA, It showed signs of "Great Success! " Only to be followed by a never ending bootloop, on other end devices I used to just pop out the battery or hold the power button long enough to get it to a stop. However after doing so the tablet failed to turn on, No light, No icon's and connecting to the computer just resulted in a USB error sound and it can barely get into Recovery Mode let alone :\
I attempted the NVFlash fix [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130574] Only to find out that I had a 0x4 error, and my adventure came to a halt.
Started to look around google and most related threads to find out stuff like this happens alot but very few ever share on how they actually managed to kick themselves out from this "stage", Most have recommended that draining the battery helps, some say touching the screen helps too [I assume this is a girl?], other's say that long presses should do the trick, Well I assure you with 5 sore red finger's none have worked. I feel like I should have flashed CWM before the firmware. But I've never come across problems like this with previous android devices.
In a nutshell, Help? I want to get it to boot more than sending it to the retarded service center's that take forever to get your device back.
Ps- It's just 3 days old.
Bump? :< Anyone?
Try this and post back,
1) Hold the Vol Down button (the left Volume button) and then hold the Power button as well.
2) Keep holding until you see two icons. First you'll see the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 logo and then the icons will show up. Let go.
Does it work?
Thanks for the reply, But as I mentioned before " it can barely get into Recovery Mode" :\
One of the options was to drain the battery completely, But it's been about 2 days now I've been trying to drain it dry by holding the power button when connected via USB, all I hear is the USB connect sound for a second then in device manager it pops up the USB Driver [One that was included in the nvflash thread.
That 0x4 error suggests that you have a locked boot loader, there may be no other way than sending it back.
Model: Asus Transformer TF201.
OS: Android 4.0.3 - updated on 1th Feb 2012.
Actually I tried to root my yesterday (1th/Feb) using "viperMOD PrimeTime", but somehow it failed(maybe wrong choice or wrong option).
In the middle, the transformer shut down and rebooting but never up. After that the screen remain black until now(become stock?).
Few things I tried:
1. I hold the power button for 5+ second, it shakes just like power up but nothing happen.
2. I hold the power button and the down volume for 5+ second, it shakes just like power up but nothing happen too.
3. Connect USB cable to PC, "adb devices": nothing in the list.
So this is the condition I face now, I just wanna the transformer back in normal in what ever way.
maybe: T-flash burning ROM?
Any recover button?
Go to services?(can I say about the rooting? if that still in warranty?)
what ever way.

Please help or advise me.
Thank you.

I unfortunately hard bricked my VSD220 the other day while trying to upgrade the android system. Bit of a noobie at this and learnt the hardway. The problem I have now is that the unit powers on but i get a totally black screen and a small panel saying "waiting" this disappears and then after a minute or so the unit powers off.
I have tried a number of flash tools using ADB and the device is not located. I cannot get into boot mode on this device as it has only a power button.
Apart from using this as a fishing sinker is there any other flash tools I might be able to use to do a lazarus on this thing and bring it back from the dead?
When plugged into the PC and turned on it is not recognized.
I have tried the Nexus root tool kit and Odin but Odin cannot located the adb for the device. cheers.
Exactly same thing happened to me but I wasn't trying anything weird on it, It happened while doing a factory reset (from android settings) and it just went off in the middle of factory resetting so now the only thing that works is plugging in a HDMI input so it works as a TV but still shows the "waiting..." box for a while and then nothing.. I also connected it to the router lan port using a pc-to-router lan cable and I can see the send/receive lights blink for some seconds and then go off (both in tv and in router), lights blink again after about 30/40 secs.. so I'm guessing this is a bootloop restarting the android part and keeping the HDMI working?.
****ing vsd220 I hate it, if you are reading this, don't buy one. It will be VERY troublesome to me having to send it to retailer for warranty coverage because of my geographic location.. I will appreciate feedback on the subject
Also Matt57 did your screen come with a CD/DVD? I have read other samsung screen models being able to recover with a external usb-dvd-r device and the DVD included with the screen (a kind of boot recovery helper). If this one came with the cd I don't have it, so if you got one, please make an iso and upload.

Sorry mate, no I did not get a CD/DVD with it.
Hi,
My Samsung Tbalet 10.1 GT7500 with Android 4.0 suddenly froze with the Samsung logo at boot and then became dead. Not starting or charging.
I have searched for help and done the following -
1.Pressing the power button long enough
2.Pressing power and volume together and similar permutations
3.Pressing volume up and down and touching the screen
4.Connecting to a car charger and connecting to a PC
5. Opened the back cover and disconnected the connector from the battery for 3 minutes and tried to charge again
I cannot even do a hard reset by pressing buttons since there's no response to any button!
Can anyone help? I don't mind even a hard rest just to get it going or any other clever ideas.
A bit desperate as cannot replace this tablet for some months!
Megan
Can only see apx on the device manager!
After spending a day with it, the tablet is still dead but when i connect to the pc and press power, I can view apx in the device manager?!!
Can any one in XDA help at all?!
