Hello,
I tried to flash Android 4.4 with an updated version of TWRP.
Once the installation was done, my tab hangs at the bootscreen.
I'm seeing the asus logo, but without the text "This device is unlocked"
Lucky me, i have the NVflash, and the blobs.

If I don't have blob.bin, can I unbrick my tf201 ?
How can I get this file ?

With the lack of information, I'll tell you it depends on the kind of brick. If it's a soft brick and you still have access to the fastboot menu, yes, but if it's a hard brick to where you don't have that access, no. Your blob.bin is exclusive to your board, and you have to go through the nvflash process to get it. It's kind of like a fingerprint. I've even contacted one of the nvidia developers about it before replacing my board. I hope that clarifies things a little.

I updated CM but it did not boot on. I has access to fastboot but no more after reboot. I don't know why now my tab is in loop boot.

Have you tried using adb to reboot to it? 'adb reboot-bootloader'? Even if CM (or any rom, for that matter) is just barely starting to boot, you should be able to do this. Once you get to fastboot, follow this guide:
https://www.androidroot.mobi/pages/guides/tegra3-guide-nvflash-jellybean/
And then follow the guide in my previous post in this thread and that will at the very least get you back to stock.
And remember, whenever you flash something in fastboot, no matter what it is, use the option '-i 0x0b05'.. Like for recovery 'fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery (name of recovery here)' This will save you more headaches.

Ok, first off, it IS 0x0b05.. 0b05 is the vendor/hardware hexadecimal ID number, which is why -i (short for ID) when using fastboot. You can verify this by hooking the tablet up to a linux environment and running 'lsusb' in terminal and looking for the Asus line. In Windows, I'm not exactly sure why the 0x gets added at the front. I guess it's just how Windows handles hardware IDs. (source: https://www.androidroot.mobi/pages/guides/tegra3-guide-nvflash-jellybean/ part: (Please note that for transformer tablets the fastboot command might require the option "-i 0x0b05".))
Second, you won't be able to install the full PA Gapps along with CM11 - you're right, there isn't enough room. Use either the micro or mini package. This is talked about in the CM11 thread you mentioned, where I have been frequenting, as of late.
Third, and finally, what exactly are you waiting on? You've done everything correctly as far as I can tell. Just start the process over with reinstalling stock via this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1927818 and you can either flash TWRP through nvflash mode like you did (good job on that ), or via fastboot, and go from there. Whether it shows 'this device is unlocked' or not, at this point, shouldn't matter.. You've run through the nvflash process and created your blob.bin along with the other files.
I hope this helps.
Hi Mates,
Will start looking into it now.
As long i can get TWRP i'm happy, because then i i'm not far from installing a custom rom.
14:55 - Tablet was empty its charging now

Where on mirc, maybe we can help each other.
I will just sit quietly here and wait for anyone with an answer.

Yes, that.
I would like to write more, but you have actually posted what I did. However, I found a hint in a thread where someone hat a wheelie that did not work, and another version that did. Unfortunately, I was slightly drunk and cannot find it anymore.

I had help from a nice person from IRC. Now my TF201 is up and running again.
I will up the process he guided me once I get home later.
Please thank lj50036 from the CMB team.
It was him that guided me thru the process to unbrick my TP.
-----------------------------------------------
Bricked situation:
1. Last activity before brick: Stock with latest OTA -> Flatline (OK) -> Motochopper (OK) -> Flash CWM recovery (OK) -> Unofficial CM11 (Reboot = bricked)
2. Stuck at ASUS logo on power up/reboot. (Device is unlocked no longer shows on top left corner)
3. Cannot get to fastboot (power + dwn = stuck at ASUS logo)
4. However, can invoke APX mode (power + up = APX device detects in windows)
-----------------------------------------------
Preparation:
1. All the output files from the flatline (blob.bin, unlock-token, bricksafe, factory-config etc)
2. Fastboot,adb,nvflash exe (you should have all these when you did flatline)
3. Enough battery (I left it overnight to charge, since I had no way of checking batt)
4. The stock firmware from ASUS (you should get the same version as the one you had prior to brick)
-----------------------------------------------
Actual process:
1. I was told to put all the files from fastboot,nvflash etc in C root (ie .exe,.img,.dlls, bin etc). I think it is not a must, as long as you have all the files together and dir has no spaces.
2. Unzip the firmware file from ASUS.
My case: the file name is JP_epaduser_10_4_2_18UpdateLauncher, extracted to find JP_epad-user-10.4.2.18. Extract again to find a file called Blob, which is about 500mb.
3. Copy the blob file to C root
4. Open CMD as admin. Make sure you do so as admin.
5. Goto C root, type: cd\
6. Just make sure you can execute the following exe: fastboot, adb, nvflash, type: fastboot
The commands should output the help related info....ie parameters etc
7. Now boot you tablet into apx conneted to your pc from tablet to pc no hubs docks> Device manager shows Asus tranformer prime APX interface.
8. Type: wheelie --blob blob.bin
My output:
C:\>wheelie --blob blob.bin
Wheelie 0.1 - Preflight for nvflash.

If you reach here, you should have a fresh TP with stock, except its unlocked.
Hope this helps.
This is great, thank you.
I actually wanted to do this yesterday evening when i found out that the prime has run out of battery (because I'm a genius), but I will do this today.
Ok, it did not work from scratch, but then, I had already another ROM so I made things difficult.
With your checklist, I got to step 13, but still only APX mode. So i did some guessing work.
What I did (in short, assuming I have everything till your step 7 and doing the wheelie everytime):
a) nvflash -r --download 4 bootloader.ebt
b) nvflash -r --download 7 unlock-token.img
c) nvflash -r --download 5 recovery.img.SOS (the modified CWM from namidairo for his unofficial CM11)
d) nvflash -r --rawdevicewrite 0 2944 bricksafe.img (no wheelie afterwards)
e) nvflash -r --go
Now I DO have the option for fastboot but no recovery (unrecoverable boot loader error).
Will continue frfom here.
===
Next: Another bootloader. I tried the blob.EBT from the stock ROM and with this, it actually tries to boot by itself (showing "device is unlocked").
===
Fine. I repeated wheelie and step c), got the blue bar, now I have thew modified CWM v6.0.4.5. Running. Yay me.
Okay, after one try with CM11 ended me where I was starting, I came back to CWM with step a) and b), and now I'm going to bed.
I am stupid and skipped flashing the stock ROM.
Stupid me. Now it works. Weee!
Did I say thank you? I think just one time. Thank you for posting thes extrensive get-youself-out-of-the-dirt-manual.
This thread has the most important info for the TFP I've seen. This info should be shared out to the Brick recovery thread (and linked to the custom ROM threads)! I've been thinking of moving from Androwook to CM11, and the only way I would try it is with a really good grasp on recovering the blob files. So again thanks, this is now bookmarked to my favorites. And especially a huge thanks to Xerxes-3.0 and vanquishe. You both just saved me from my future brick!

No wonder! If you see 4 icons, you are on ICS bootloader, you shouldn't have flashed @ne0zone75's TWRP.
So, where are you standing now? Are you able to fastboot?

You should not flash @ne0zone75's TWRP with the wrong bootloader!
So you can't fastboot anymore? And you certainly don't have your nvflash files? Then you are bricked!

Any chance in the world! You are unbrickable (almost).
Follow this:
First you have to reset bootloader using wheelie routine:
1. Put tab in apx mode (power + vol up)
2. Connect to pc and open console window as admin in folder with wheelie.exe and fastboot.exe and blobs.
3. Type
Code:
wheelie --blob blob.bin [enter]
4. When wheelie ramps up type
Code:
nvflash -r --download 4 bootloader.bct
5. When nvflash is successful reboot. You should be now in a bootloop on ASUS screen.
6. Reboot to bootloader (power+vol down).
7. You should now see the four icons: RCK, Andy, USB and wipe.
8. Press vol down to choose USB. Now tab should be recognized as fasboot device.
9. Unpack attached rar archive, rename content to simply 'blob' and put it in fastboot folder (it contains tf300t bootloader, apropriate partition table and 2.8.x.x. TWRP).
10. Fastboot blob using
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash staging blob [enter]
fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot [enter]
11. Let blue progressbar finish and tab reboot itself.
12. Now you should be on last tf300t bootloader with working TWRP and can flash whichever custom ROM you want. If you want to flash stock ROM and different TWRP, remember, that your tab is now effectively a tf300t, so flash ROMs and recoveries for tf300t.
Good luck!

Are you now on 4.1.1 ICS stock or on 4.2.1 JB stock?
Read back the version of your bootloader! Three or four icons on bl screen?

1. Of course you have dead android, because you flashed blob.SOS.
2. You are definitely on ICS bootloader, which is too old to flash the right TWRP.
You have the choice
1. Either download newest stock ROM for tf201 from ASUS support site and flash it via fastboot. From there you can flash proper TWRP.
2. Or you take my advice from post #6 and upgrade to tf300t bootloader. Then you can flash any custom ROM that is on the market.

Second case I see my fault; apologize, but that wouldn't lead to a brick.
with
Code:
wheelie --blob blob.bin
I can't see any wrong.
@orcad.fr used it and obviously succeeded:

Sorry, @orcad.fr, that was a mistype, I thougt you would recognize quite easily:
I typed: 'bootloader.bct' (which is definitely wrong but you obviously do not have the file) and should have typed 'bootloader.ebt'. My bad; so follow @jl50036 - he is a master - if you can read his words.
Good bye

Keep cool every body!
I appreciate help, no matter who's giving.
Nobody's perfect (even me )
By the way, i've try with "bootloader.ebt" but it won't work, that's why i switched to the other solution.
If i take another rom from Asus, i must remobe blob or something like that?
I'll search a tutorial.

Very right you are, but @orcad.fr wrote, that he had in his nvflash files a file bootloader.ebt (which I misspelled), wich cannot be anything else than blob.ebt even if he didn't succeed flashing this.
... and I, just like you, like to give correct info. If I fail - well after all I am human - I could be corrected, not cursed.
