hello, my name is shahrukh and i need some help. i downloaded animmod (from 4shared) and then i donwloaded busybox. then i pressed blur and then it asked me if i want to reboot it. i pressed yes. this is when the problem starts. It turned off and then it turned on half way and then it turned off. it kept doing that and then i just left it for the night. in the morning it was not doing anything. when i held the power button it turned off and on for like two times and then turned off. i cant even start it up so i have no idea what to do.
i don"t know what to do
please help!!!!
Okay, we need details, describe exactly when "halfway on" is. We need your full model number and rom version (if you know it). Have you tried plugging it in to charge? Does it show anything now that you try to boot it? try holding volume up and powering on to enter recovery menu.
details
ok so when it turns on it says samsung. then after like 10 seconds it turns off. it does that for a few times and then it just goes in a black screen. the model number is YP-G7OC/NAW. when i plug it in to charge it goes on and off two times and then off. if it has low battery it just shows the sign. as for the rom i don't think i have any. i just rooted it using superoneclick. if it goes to recovery mode what do i do?
thanks!
(you got me really fired up when i saw the recovery menu!)
If you can get to recovery menu, try a factory reset, and clear cache. I am not sure if there is a recovery rom for your device, you should check samfirmware.com
tried both of them...no luck. and i couldn't find a recovery rom on samfrimware.com.
Your device has capacitive or mechanical home button?
it has a capacitive home button...the usa version

The phone boots in recovery?
If so, I can investigate a little more what's happening.
I'll try to post a return-to-stock image soon... The problem is that mine is cluttered with crap that the zergRush exploit added (it insisted on installing busybox instead of just rooting...)
(I'm not sure, but I think someone else already posted a stock zImage and system image...)
Here is the post about fixing capacitive buttons. A quick search of forum should have found it.

nooooooo!!! you guys have all got it wrong. first of all it doesnt boot in recovery. the only way to get in recovery mode is when it shows the battery sign i hold "up volume"+ power button.and the capaciative button is completely fine. im just stuck in a bootloop (i think) and it has nothing to do with a broken capacitive button! i will try to post a video today to show you guys exactly whats happening.
i kind of had the same problem, one time i thought i had entropy's kernel on and i had CWM well i didn't but i still thought i had so i tried rebooting into recovery using the terminal:
su
reboot recovery
then i turned off and went to this weird recovery menu it had four options, reboot system, apply update from SD card, wipe data partition, and power off and it had a ton of red letters and words saying like, couldn't access data partition or cache partition and couldn't access /data/media, or system, and then i just turned it off because i wouldn't let me choose an option, and then i got stuck in a loop but not during when it says SAMSUNG mine happened during the animation music part that look like fireworks and then SAMSUNG would light up blue then go through it again and 2 more times then go black and i tried flashing the US stock ROM in download mode but still would go through the loop and it doesn't even charge so i got nothing
so did you somehow fix yours? and i never got a recovery menu that showed something about shut down.:confused
Before brick
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
wait....are you asking me those questions? just to tell you im no developer or something. im just a 12 year old who has his galaxy player stuck in a boot loop. you have to make another thread if you have a problem.
sorry!
Ok. : ) You got it wrong. No problem. His case is different from mine. Just wanted to use her Brick in case. Nothing more. good luck.
I resolve my doubts alone. Nothing that Google does not respond. haha
At least before brick.
ok. let me ask google too xD
anyways..anyone have any idea of how to fix this boot loop?
im trying to do the Linux thing by running the ressurector ans the VM windows the forum is posted under development called hard brick recovery for galaxy 5.0
ok.(i have no idea what you are saying...just saying!)
top left corner of the screen says "The Device is Unlocked", in the middle ASUS logo, bottom right "powered by nvidia tegra" will not boot, or boot into the bootloader, i do have nvflash enabled but not sure what i need to do to get it unstuck.
Update:
I ran c:\...\wheelie --blob blob.bin
Then c:\...\nvflash --resume --go
booted into TWRP
factory reset in TWRP, wipe cache, and dalvik
Reboot system
ROM seems to be loading
Jelly Bean Setup started!
Thank you ecatsab!

Well, we're in the same boat, so this means your device is hard bricked, just like mine, and you can't do anything about it, so you will have to rma it to Asus, if they let you. :/
but the only difference is you are in the life raft since you have nvflash enabled, so there is probably a fix so just search around nvflash unbricking threads. GL!

To the both of you, I was in this same situation last week and thought my device was "hard bricked". If you are at least getting the ASUS screen, EVEN IF it says "This device is unlocked", AND you have performed the NVFLASH procedures correctly, you are not hosed.

What were you doing when you got to this point? You are no where near hard bricked by the way, or anything else called brick.

I got the same problem
I managed to unlock (UnLock_Device_App_V6) and root my TF201. then I installed GooManager to installed a recovery which I successfully did.
Then I boot into recovery and installed Jelly bean (us-tf201-jro03c-10.4.2.15-stock-deodexed) and superuser (Superuser-3.2-arm-signed)
it all went well and working great.
until I wanted to install a patch for GPS (tf201-GPSTweaks). I couldn't get into recovery so I installed GooManager again and tried to reinstall recovery again.. the phone reboot and stocked in asus logo..
I can only get into APX mode
Hi!
I have an Asus EeePad Transformer Prime TF201, on stock ICS, unlocked via ASUS official method.
I tried to flash CWM in order to get CyanogenMod, fastboot flash all went OK, no errors, i rebooted the tablet into O/S then after several tries to get into CWM Recovery( normal volume-down + power, adb reboot recovery) all led to a freeze in the splash-screen or bootloader menu.
Then i tried to do a full wipe from the bootloader menu, the tablet hanged again trying to boot recovery image. After about 30 minutes of wait, i hard-rebooted it.
This final step led to a strange brick: the tablet is stuck with Asus logo in the center, "Powered by Nvidia Tegra" in the down-right corner and "The Device is Unlocked" in the top left corner.
I tried to get to fastboot but it doesn't respond to the normal volume-down + power, it actually reboots but the bootloader menu doesn't come up.
Is there any solution for my problem? Your help is greatly appreciated
Same problem here.. I wanted to go back to CM10 but the device wouldn't load into recovery so I installed Reboot to Recovery from Google Play and now it just boots to Asus splash screen! PC doesn't even recognize the device when plugged... Before I installed the "Reboot to Recovery " app I was getting the Cold Boot menu when I hit power+volume down... Now the device just boots to splash screen top left says Device unlocked bottom right has powered by nvidia tegra logo.. middle just has Asus logo.. I allowed the device to die over night and tried power+volume down still no luck.. Play Help!

If there's no recovery, no adb/fastboot, and you're in a boot loop or it won't boot at all then I'm pretty sure this is a brick. Check the dev forum for the tf201 and look at the brick thread. If it's recoverable then that thread will tell you how to do it

---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:39 PM ----------
At first when I was able to cold boot I was receiving the 4 icon screen when I tired to boot into recovery (power+volume down) than I thought the device relocked so I reinstalled the Asus unlock tool and this crap started! It gave me some kind of "unknown time error" and after I restarted this stuff started happening..

It'll happen like this :
Asus will send an RMA for you. You'll pay $25ish shipping to get it there. Either a week (or 2) will pass, or several months, then they'll call you with an estimate. That estimate will be : $160 for the replacement motherboard fix, $60 for labour, and $10+ for shipping.
If you're lucky they might replace it under warranty. Do NOT tell them you unlocked it, their system may not have registered it. When you contact them ask what sort of warranty is on it, get them to look. Let them know you were updating to the latest Android on it when it bricked, not anything else. If they say your warranty is good, send it in and press them to fix it.
If not...I have a TF201 with busted LCD/digitizer that works, already nvflashed and all that. Might save you a few bucks.

I agony of defeat! One of these super duper smart developers has to know some sort of way to recover the device using APX mode!
Hello,
This morning, I was reading comics on my tablet, an it froze completely. The touchscreen and buttons were not responding so I held the power button to turn it off. I turned it on again, and I had an "Encryption unsuccessful" message, saying that I needed to perform a factory reset. The problem is that I never set up my tablet with encryption...
That being said, this screen pops in when my tablet starts, and there is nothing else I can do but to turn it off. I tried the following :
Reboot
Reboot to safe mode
Launch the recovery mode and launch the Android icon (I don't know what it's here for)
Launch the recovery mode and launch a factory reset
The factory reset starts for less than one second before showing the Android sign with a red alert triangle, and resets the tablet. At this point, nothing worked, I am still stuck with this screen, I don't really see what I can do.
I bought my tablet in the US in 2012, it runs Jelly Beans if I recall correctly (the ASUS version, I never rooted it). I have a Mac running Mountain Lion if it can help. Does anyone know what I can try now ?
Thank you in advance for your help

No, it is the default bootloader. Everything is standard, I never felt the need to modify the OS of my tablet. Do you have a theory?

Hello everyone,
I'm a bit crying right now, i hope you can help :-/
So, i thought about going to cyanogen on my tf201 some months ago. What i remember is that i unlocked it using the asus software then i installed some versions of twrp (i think). After that i stopped because i was kind of lost between many tutorials.
I did not use the tablet since that, i was abroad.
I get it back today and i tried to reset everything, so i went in the settings and click on the reset thing. It did not work, the tablet just blocked on Asus screen and when i manually restarted it, it was like i did nothing (normal boot and no reset).
So i went in the bootloader (power + vol down) and i tried the (4th?) option to wipe everything. The thing said something like "loading image ...." and blocked.
Now the tablet is blocked on the first screen (with asus writen in the middle) and it won't boot, i can not go into the bootloader either, i only have that screen.
I can not even shut it down, keeping power pressed will only restart it.
Is there anything i can do or is the tablet dead ?
Thanks for any help
