Okay, first of all, I feel quite stupid now... What happened?
0. I rooted my prime (motorchopper) and used the unlock-tool
1. I installed Clockwork mod (and upgraded it)
2. I tried to backup the stockrom (the latest version from Asus itself: 4.1.1): this did not work
3. Clockwork seemed to work, though I was still struggling with the tether-app
4. I could enter the fastboot menu, but it did not boot unless I did nothing (then it used the stock-rom)
5. then the accident (yes, it was an accident...) happened: I went through the options in the (still standard) menu and choose to flash the rom. I tried to cancel that, but by accident I hit volume up (and not down...)
ouch...
6. the tablet reboots, but the only things I see are:
- upper left corner: "device is unlocked"
- centre: Asus-logo
- right under corner Nvidia logo
7. when I connect the tablet to my PC and hit volume up + power, the PC 'recognizes' the tablet as an APX device (in device manager)
(this gave me some hope). Power + volume down gives the same as under 6.
8. I installed the ASUS USB-drivers and Windows 7 (on my laptop) recognizes the tablet under devicemanager: "Asus Transformer Prime APX interface" (the tablet has a black screen and seems to be turned off). When I turn it on, the same logo and connection is lost
9. I tried this topic (as Leipy did in this post).
10. the only response I get from fastboot / adb is: < waiting for device > (when using fastboot) or "error: device not found" (when using ADB) (on any of the commands I give)
11. I'm posting this as a last resort. I cannot post under development (not enough rights), so I post it under troubleshoot.
the question:
- is there still some hope for my tablet?
Thanx for any help you can give me (or some suggestions for a new tablet... )

That is hard bricked.
The links you posted could be fixed because they could still enter the bootloader and fastboot.
You can only access APX which is useless without Nvflash Backups.
Search is a wonderful thing, they say...

Mine is in a similar situation, but I got there completely differently. I had unlocked the bootloader, rooted, and install CWM from ROM Manager. Rebooted, held down the volume + power button, selected wipe data by mistake, and waited.. and waited... when it didn't do anything for almost an hour I figured it must have been done, or I was screwed. Rebooted, and it's at the Asus screen. The rest is the same, as far as the APX device and whatnot. A new motherboard is the only option here? I have a hard time believing that.

first off, i just wanted to state, before i get ripped into, i have spend the last 1.5 days reading everything i can find on any forum that comes back with search results for my issue. i've tried numerous drivers, different PC's, even a Linux Live CD system.
I cannot get my PC (win 7, 32 bit) to see my TF201 via ADB.
It is installed in the device manager with the "universal naked driver 0.7", and shows up as "Asus Transformer Prime ADB Interface". But whenever i try to connect via ADB to run the fix in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514088 - i cannot see the device.
I have tried all of the mount/unmount options in CWM. nothing is working for me.
is there anyone that has run into this? And if so, have you found a resolution?
sorry if i'm coming off as the typical noob here, but i really have put in time researching the issue and attempting other fix-it routes before posting up a help thread.
Thanks!!

Update****
I was able to get it out of the boot loop, so that it will boot to the splash screen. well following instructions i've found online, when in CWM, i connected through ADB and pushed a copy of cm9.zip up to the internal storage.
yet, whenever i choose "install from zip" in CWM, it never finds the zip file.
i have done it a few times now and it says it copies up completely, but never actually shows up.
syntax i'm using: adb push cm9filename.zip "/sdcard/cm9filename.zip"
it takes about two minutes and gives me confirmation that it pushed x amount of bytes of data for the file, and says its done. I then go back to the tablet in CWM and choose install from sdcard, and it says there are no files.
I'm about ready to throw this thing in the trash and be done with it......
First of all make a small text file and zip it up for a test file that wont take long to push.
Now type adb push test.zip /data/media/
look if the file is showing where you go to install a rom.
If it is showing then push the rom to the same place then install it

If that fails, I had the same issue with cwm, I installed twrp via fastboot and haven't had the problem of the file not showing up after adb push. Fustrating I know.... I tired everything I could think of in cwm multiple reboots different usb ports... on an on......

I am having the same exact problem. It started when I tried to restore my stock backup that I made using CWM 5.8.2.0 coming from the CM rom. I am stuck in the CWM recovery screen and cant get ADB to see the TF Prime. I just get error: device not found. How did you manage to push a zip if ADB wasn't seeing your device? I have been looking for a fix for the last week now.

The answer is in the post you quote, did you read it? Fastboot, see on twrp site.

the problem is whenever it try to fastboot it just keeps saying waiting for device. I can put my TF prime in fastoot mode when I power on while holding down on vol it just goes right to CWM recovery and any adb command gives me no device found and I tried APX mode (holding vol up during power on) and tried to use NVFlash but that just gives me an error device not recognized. I have all the drivers installed. I used the naked drivers .7 and have cleared out all the old drivers too.

you hold the volume down until the screen starts, then you let go and wait

As I stated above holding down Val down while turning on does not bring up the menu it still just boots right into CWM recovery. i have no option for fastboot or anything.

No, you hold Vol down + power then when the first screen with sentences appears you release everything DON'T touch anything, after 5 secondes you will end in a screen with three icons, with volume down youu select the usb icon in the middle, then volume up.
This procedure works even on locked devices except that in this case you don't have the usb icon, only the factory reset and cold reboot ones. So it's impossible you don't obtai this screen, it's hardware coded.
It is confusing but just keep trying till you get it!! Once there go to the TWRP site they have the file and the fastboot commands all set in a guide.
I have exactly the same problem than you.
I had the fastboot/adb connection (I used to push the rom by adb), but i tried to install a wrong version on gapps. Since then, I'm stock in the recovery mode without adb/fastboot connection.
If you find a solution for that, pleaze post it !!

Hi,
after some complications with the partition mapping on my tablet i finaly extracted the boot.img created a custom boot.img. Now want to flash it back using adb, fastboot or flash_image. Afaik flash_image isnt supported, get some errors "error scanning partitions"....
So i tried to flash with adb / fastboot, but it is required to boot to bootloader mode.
I tried many key combinations on my tablet (power button, home, volume keys) and apps to boot it into bootloader mode but was not successfull yet ("adb shell reboot bootloader" and Quick Boot App from Play Store).
I´ve got an Allwiner A10 Tablet with T15A_V5 Mainboard and 1GB RAM (like the goclever a103 tablet). Also known as (same hardware):
- Manta MID06
- Point of View Protab XXL
- Goclever A103
- Storex eZee'Tab 10C
- Coby 1042
- Yarvik TAB464
Any idears how to get to bootloader mode or flash the img back?
Ty.
*push*
easier to get anwsers for apple devices than getting feedback here... wtf?!
You don't reflash these A10-based tablets from bootloader mode. AFAIK they don't even have a bootloader mode.
You reflash them from your PC using the Livesuit program, with the tablet connected over USB.
The tablet has to be put in a specific mode (FEL mode) in which the screen will remain dark and a different USB device will be detected by the PC (Livesuit comes with a driver for this).
To put the tablet in this mode :
- turn in off completely (not just standby mode) and disconnect the USB cable
- start the Livesuit program, and select the firmware image (.img file) you want to flash
- hold the Volume- button on the tablet and while holding it, connect the USB cable to the PC
- while still holding Volume-, make a succession of quick press and release on the power button (at least 5 or 6 in my experience)
You'll hear your PC detecting a new USB device.
- release the button
- make a force installation of the driver that came with Livesuit
A popup should appear asking if you want to do a forced format. Choose yes, then flashing should begin (progression bar)
livesuit wont install
i downloaded livesuit but when i try to install it blinks out and nothing happens can i get help please ? im so close to fixing my Eglide Pro III
Hey,

Rom: crewrktablets.arctablet.com/?p=5617
I stopped at "select Run" cause It said "LoaderFile is not Existed" after googling it, I found out that I gotta choose a loader file, I downloaded the one on the page above and pressed Run. After that the tablet got disconnected (Status changed to: "No Found RKAndroid rock usb")
NOTE: I choose only Loader!
It doesn't start anymore :crying::crying::crying:
Please, please any help would be appreciated.....
Problem: I used the wrong bootloader and now it doesn't turn on at all, I got backup of the original bootloader.. how I can flash it back? the device is not recognized anymore

- Boot.img: https://mega.co.nz/#!Fk4FUSza!1gY1RjvnEI_HS0zk17WTHiywXFWc1VOCH-P2V5fVFPI
1. Phone Flash Tool
- Install USB drivers (if on Windows)
- Install Phone Flash Tool Lite
- Run PFT, open "Dell_Venue_8_7840_Lollipop_5.0.2_qs_rd_opensource-blankphone-userdebug-1397.zip"
- Select "flash-DD0_BB.xml" and flash it
- Tablet will restart in bootloader, flashing isn't done yet, so wait
- Sometimes it can be hard to get the progress bar past 4% before things fail. Just keep trying if this happens, it'll randomly work.
2. Tethered Recovery ("IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015.7z")
- Unpack the system image (from "system.zip") to a convenient directory
- With tablet still in Bootloader mode, open app, select CWM mode, then T4
- Phone will restart in CWM once everything loads
3. Flash system
- Go to the mounts / format area, format "/system" and then unmount it
- Insert Micro SD card and mount it
- Format "/external_sd"
- On computer, type "adb push <path-to-system.img> /external_sd/", wait for it to finish
- When finished, type "adb shell" to enter the device shell (make sure the prompt is "~ #" to make sure you are root (or type "whoami" at the prompt to confirm root)
- (If not root, restart to bootloader and trigger the tethered recovery again. You should be root this time.)
- Type in "dd if=/external_sd/system.img of=/dev/block/by-name/system" and wait for it to finish
- When finished, type "exit" on your computer to close the shell
- Reboot the device (to bootloader)
4. Flash boot
- Back on the computer, type in "fastboot devices" to confirm the tablet is connected
- Type "fastboot flash boot <path-to-boot.img" in order to flash the boot
5. Reboot
- On the device, tell it to boot normally
- Wait. It's a first-boot so it's gonna be a bit slow as the cache is built and whatnot
6. Enjoy!
7. (Optional) Root using the Update-SU.zip using the tethered mode again.
I noticed that it won't take any updates so this leaves you vulnerable to the Stagefright bug. It also sometimes boots to the bootloader and waits to you to select normal boot. Sorry. (Anyone know how to help?)

Any news? I'm stuck at 5.0.2. I wonder if it's possible to port cyanogenmod.
Hey there! Super helpful tutorial and most helpful so far that I found! However, my tablet just goes black after I press Normal Boot and just stays that way. Also when performing ADB Shell (Mac) for some reason it stays in the shell for few seconds and goes back. Any ideas why that might be happening? On top of that I can only enter the shell command really quickly so I have no idea when it finishes copying system.img across... Any help would be appreciated!
Hi guys,
does this method flash the 7840 with a 5.0.2 image or with a 5.1 one?
Thanks
I tried and I can reply to myself: it restores a clean 5.0.2 image ...
EDIT: xposed framework work perfectly on 5.0.2 . I'm perfectly happy with it now
Guys, please disable Driver Signature before installing ANYTHING on your PC to mod, change or rescue your DELL 7840
Intels Platform Flash Tool wont flash ( ifwi error ), and tethered recovery wont upload through bootloader
took me a while to realise itself, even though i did it many many times, after not doing for couple of years, i almost forgott that you need to allow unsigned driver installatino before
have grait ****,

What if you can't boot into fastboot mode? When I try to boot into fastboot, the screen only shows a battery logo with a question mark inside. I saw that there's a fix for this problem on Intel processor devices like the Zenfone and Del Venue 8 3840 using xFSTK Downloader. But that requires dnx_PRQ.bin and droidboot.img.POS.bin, which I don't Dell ever released. Any solved this problem before?
Flash tool wont detect tablet
So i would love to try this out, im new to this whole thing and have the problem that the flashtool cant find my device

Intel Flashing
You need to use 'On Demand Flash" option from Intel Flash Tool. Start flashing from computer and continue on your device.
For Venue 7840
- Unplug
- Power off
- Press and hold both Volume keys
- Plug USB cable
- Release keys
It will start loading automatically
I've use Intel Flash Tool Lite 5.3.2

1. Phone Flash Tool
- Install USB drivers (if on Windows)
- Install Phone Flash Tool Lite
- Run PFT, open "Dell_Venue_8_7840_Lollipop_5.0.2_qs_rd_opensource-blankphone-userdebug-1397.zip"
- Select "flash-DD0_BB.xml" and flash it
- Tablet will restart in bootloader, flashing isn't done yet, so wait
- Sometimes it can be hard to get the progress bar past 4% before things fail. Just keep trying if this happens, it'll randomly work.

Hi, I have a Lenovo K1 Ideapad (routed Android 3.1, 2.6.36.3 kernel version. ROM version: K1_A301_02_02_110930_CA ) and I am wanting to upgrade to a 4.2.2 Custom ROM or higher , but I can't get my tablet to go into recovery mode. I have tried doing it manually (hold Vol+ and vol- while holding power) but it goes to boot up and all I get at that point is an all black screen and my side swipe sensor LED's light up and stay on. The screen is black (fully). The recovery screen doesn't show up. Even after waiting for 30 minutes:. I can still boot it up normally, and it works. But no recovery. I have also tried adb, and various terminal apps, but they only reboot my tablet - regardless that I type "su reboot recovery" or the other similar commands. I have tried using ROM Manager, but the k1 isn't supported and when i press the reboot to recovery option, the k1 just reboots normally. I have rooted my k1 using this method:
1. Extract K1Root.rar to the directory of your choosing.
2. Connect your tablet to your PC with the USB cable.
3. With your tablet off, press POWER+VOL_UP+VOL_DOWN until the screen turns on, but displays only black.
4. Windows should detect the device, but not install drivers.
5. Go into device manager, select the APX device, choose update
drivers, and install the drivers from the aptly named NVFlash_Drivers
folder.
6. Open up the NVFLASH_HOME folder and run the file K1Flash.bat
7. Make your desired choices when prompted, and enjoy.
I downloaded superuser, ROM Manager, Busybox and root checker. and
checked the status of the root, and it said the root was successful. The tablet ran well. But as I played with it a bit I found that an alarming amount of apps were becoming incompatible (ones I had wanted before rooting n stuff). One game that was preloaded was no longer playable (until they updated it a few months later), More and more apps now aren't compatible with android 3.1 anymore, thus me trying a custom ROM. All instructions followed were for the K1 Ideapad. I am now noticing that various processes are now coming up as needing to be force closed, like the launcher process for example. I am at a loss of what to do. Do you have any advice? Thanks in advance!
