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?

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.

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.
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.
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?
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!
So I got myself a cheap TF201 tablet and decided to put Android 7.1 on it using this guide. I followed the instructions completely and everything went perfectly well.
Had TWRP 3.2.3.0 installed, Android 7.1 installed and it was working great. Rebooted a few times, set up my Google account in Android, started installing a few usual apps such as Chrome, etc. when suddenly the Pad completely locked up. It then rebooted and went straight to the TWRP logo screen, sat there for 10-20 seconds then rebooted. And now that is all it does - ASUS screen comes up for a couple of seconds with "This device is unlocked" in the upper left, then tries to go into recovery but it reboots instead.
I cannot access fastboot mode at all - holding PWR + Vol DN does nothing. I can access APX mode and I can briefly use ADB while the TWRP is up.
I have backups of all blobs and I have nvflash installed - I got through the whole guide step by step without a single problem.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!
I got quite the same issue here, I also flashed 7.1.2 yesterday and installed some stuff. Then today I wanted to install Magisk to root it. After the installation (I can't remember that it was successful but I think it wasn't because there was no Magisk app to find) I wanted to boot another time to the recovery and went into a bootloop. When I'm trying to boot to TWRP it stucks at the teamwin logo. Sadly I have no cable here at the moment to maybe reflash the recovery or try some other stuff.
