Ive read and I think Ive came to the conclusion that I got a new boat anchor. Just wanted to see if anyone can confirm before I trash it.
Its a tf201.
Had 4.1.1
Used the asus unlock tool.
All went well
Went to install twrp
Rebooted fine.
Rebooted again went to asus logo with unlocked in the top left.
Its stuck there.
Cant enter recovery.
CAN enter APX
Did not install NVFLASH
Toss it?

Question:
How did you install TWRP and where did you get it ? What version of TWRP is it ? I believe there is the ICS and JB versions and there are specific version for TF201 as well.
Are you able to go to fast boot ? if so then you are not bricked yet. The way to install TWRP is to install it using fastboot.

I got twrp from their site. I got the JB version. I cant get into fastboot. If I hold down volume while trying to boot it still just goes to the splash screen just like if I dont. I cant turn it off though. When I hold down power to turn it off as soon as it turns off it just trys to start again so Im not sure its registering the volume button or not.

If it helps any to know this I can turn it off now and still volume down and power does nothing.
The only thing that gets me anything different than the splash screen is to hold volume up and power.
Did you find a way to recover your tf201?
Hello lemayautocare,
Have you found a post/site, that explains how to recover you tf201? I'm having the exact same problem an the only additional information I can give you is that I notice that when I power it with the volume button up, the screen is black but my computer sees the device when I use lsusb. It doesn't show up when I power it up with volume button down.

Volume up and power puts it into APX mode. This mode is only of any use to you if you already have NVFlash backups.
I have a fairly generic Chinese tablet, a Neutab N7 (not a Nexus 7), but I have no idea how to enter the bootloader/fastboot mode.
Using adb, "adb reboot bootloader" or "adb reboot-bootloader" just makes it reboot normally.
From a shell, doing "su reboot bootloader" also reboots normally.
I tried Quick Boot from Google Play which has an option to reboot into the bootloader, but it also just ends up rebooting normally.
While powered off, I tried holding power and volume up, power and volume down, and power and both volume up and down, but they all just boot normally.
Doing "adb reboot recovery" does boot me into recovery mode, but the menu doesn't have a bootloader/fastboot option.
Does anyone have any idea how to enter the bootloader/fastboot mode for this tablet? Any help would be appreciated.

why do you want to enter the bootloader? and have they made any roms or cwm recovery for these types of generic android tablets?
[RESOLVED] finally, ROOT for Neutab N7 pro tablet.

Having been looking for this information myself i'm sharing real quick here what i've found. Scouring the net all over i've found NOTHING specific for these Chinese tablets but after finally getting on the scent of VROOT I downloaded and tried iROOT essentially a one-click rooter the .APK **DID NOT WORK** but the PC version **DID** can be found by googling iroot or vroot.
RE: bootloader, i've still found no way or any good info on entering the bootloader AFAIK this is locked and may not be possible without some good hard hacking on the firmware, I DO KNOW that if you try entering the "bootloader" with a reboot manager on the device u will find yourself at the "NeuTab" welcome screen and stuck. Fortunately at least in my experience, letting the tablet battery run down low you can boot back into it and root condition is still good.
Hope this helps somewhat I know its an old post but a lot of people have been looking for this info have yet to post on authors site confirming that the NeuTab also works with his software.
peace.
VE3UND
BTW I forgot to mention the site and the software (ALTHOUGH IT STATES OTHERWISE) is in Chinese. A leap of faith needed there I know but i confirm this method works. l8z
BTW^2 ALSO the android version was KitKat as received from the mfg, also have been told that Jellybean will install on the tablet after rooting and maybe is now included with device but don't quote me on that.
all in all a really nice tab for the price, especially now we have root biggest missing option: GPS but you can tether to another device with gps if you need to. Also no built in USB HOST MODE. //out
I've got the NeuTab N10 and can't get ADB to see it at all. How did you get ADB to work with your N7, were you able to find NeuTab ADB drivers somewhere?
So i recently came across this tablet in my stuff... something i picked up for the wife a few years back.
I also came across this website.... http://neutab.com/info-detail.php?InfoId=11
It has all the tools and programs that the company uses. includes all files for development of their entire line of tablets.
Thought this may be useful. just click on the link that says pheonixtools.zip and it will take you to a back end file server... This tablet is about as open sourced as it gets... so... this leads me to ask a question i have been struggling with for the last 2 years of being a member on this website...
can anyone... please... help me develop my first recovery and custom rom for this tablet? I just have never done it all the way... i have set up a couple things here and there... figured out how to strip the stock recovery and boot... but never got further than that.
Thanks for the help.
• Unzip phoenix tool.zip you just downloaded; (to open a .zip file, download WinRAR)
• In the folder of phoenix tool you just unzipped, depending on your system specs, select "drvinstaller_X64", "drvinstaller_x86" or "drvinstaller_IA64" to install tablet driver; Or you can run all three driver installer and at least one will work;
• Run "PhoenixSuit.exe", select "firmware" tab;
• Click on "Image" button, choose the firmware you just downloaded;
• Turn your tablet completely off (by press and hold power button for 20 seconds), press and hold "volume -" button, connect tablet to computer via usb cable, keep volume button held, press power button 10 times repeatedly；
• The phoenix tool should recognize the tablet. On pop-up dialog window, select if you want to format and wipe out everything on your tablet；
• The phoenix tool will start flash the firmware to the tablet. Wait till it is done；
• When upgrade is finished, disconnect your tablet from computer, press and hold power button for 10 seconds to quit upgrade mode. then press and hold power button for 2-4 seconds to turn tablet on；
Congratulations! Your tablet is now refreshed.
Ok so I have a NueTab Air 7 Android and I have talked toto their customer support which did neurologist absolutely no good. I have been trying to hard reset my tablet and do a factory reset by holding down the volume up and down keys and the power keys until it gives me the option of rebooting. However, there is no option for a factory reset. Only a Recovery mode, Fastboot mode, and Normal mode. I tired the Normal and Recovery an both sent me back to enter password that I can't rremember, which isthe why I'm resetting it lol. Finally I chose the Fastboot option and now it is stuck on that option and has been for almost an hour. It willwas not let me power off, try to hard reset, it is literally stuck. And it is a hundred percent charged. I do jot hav the optiontime to connectbe the tablet to acall Windows computer at this timetime, as the forums I have read say can possibly fix the issue. And what a surprise the customer service phone number for this specific tablet does not know how to fix it!!!!! Not surprised at all. If anyone at allthe has any ideas or knows what to do or howsomething to fix it please help meme. I'm very frustrated to say thethat least and in desperate need of help. Anything would be immensely appreciated. ~Melissa

I would love to root this tablet purely because it's my daughter's and some of the games she likes has some real funky permissions That they want! A custom rom would be nice but I will be satisfied with being able to revoke some of the permissions that the apps want to have access to.

I have yet to be able to download the zip or the firmware software. i got root with kingo pc version but that's pretty much it and I can't change the route manager because once I delete that then I don't have root anymore and can't add another one. Also I have yet to been able to get into or see download mode on this either. It just stays on the screen with the name on it and that's pretty much it. no bootloader unlock either
I have one of these tabs, which will no longer boot up.
I flashed a ROM which clearly will not work on this device..... It switches on and I am now stuck on a screen that looks like the Android man playing in a shower........
I cannot get it to go past this, and I cant get it into bootloader/download mode..... If I hold the Vol button and press and hold power it simply loads to this screen...... I have tried any and every button combination with the same result...
ADB sees the pad when connected to the PC but I am stuck where to go from here. I don't know enough about ADB to try and fix this, if its even possible. The fact I cannot get into recovery means I cannot even put a zip file on the sdcard...... Is there a way to force a flash using only ADB?
Can anyone help me please........
Hi All,
I recently managed to brick my Xperia XA Ultra after following a guide elsewhere on the Interweb. I want to root it so I can rid myself of all of the extraneous bloatware that Sony seems to think will add value to my life.
After getting a replacement, I took tentative steps to do the same again. Previously, the phone refused to do much of anything after I flashed a new boot.img. The reason I did that was because, after flashing TWRP I couldn't get the phone to boot into recovery mode. So now I have another phone with an unlocked bootloader, TWRP flashed, but no new boot.img, and I want to get into recovery mode.
I tried all of these (all ways to get into recovery on XA Ultra according to numerous websites):
Turn off phone, hold Vol- and Power.
Turn off phone, power on, wait for 'Sony', tap Vol- or Vol+ several times.
Turn off phone, hold Vol+ and Power. Once in boot loader, tap Vol- a couple of times to start recovery.
adb reboot recovery
Stand on one leg, whistle the South Korean national anthem and press Power and Vol+ using the back of a silver spoon.
I'm pretty good with technology, usually, and I've searched high and low for a definitive answer. It seems to me that, in order to get into TWRP, I'll have to flash an alternative boot image. But I don't want to risk that, because I might not get another replacement if I brick it again.
I'd appreciate any advice or pointers.
Kind Regards,
Paul.

You can't acces to TWRP without flashing the modified boot.img
Hi everyone,
Looking for some help on my phone which is the only one I have unfortunately
So basically the Honor 9 is showing only the logo then just a black screen. One time it vibrated afterwards when pressing the volume buttons and made the camera sound. So it seems it might have booted but nothing is showing?
Phone did fall before, but worked afterwards.
I cannot access Emui recovery (when pressing volume up+power, it just shows the logo and black screen), but I can access fastboot.
If I plug it to charge, it shows the charging logo fine.
Bootloader is not unlocked. Nothing custom has been installed.
I already tried Hisuite recovery mode, but it said the device is not supported.
Any advice on what I could try? I searched the forums but couldn't figure out what to do. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

Hello.
I know it is close to a year now, but just in case there is someone else out there looking to solve something like this. Just make sure to have a wifi connection through which you can download your firmware and recovery through the eRecovery panel. The downloads should be around a total of 4GB, so bear that in mind.
When you are set with your wifi access do the following (feedback will be appreciated):
- plug your phone to your computer and hold down the vol up + power button to boot into eRecovery
- in the eRecovery panel, choose to download firmware and recovery and it will launch a wifi connection
- connect to your wifi
- download the firmware and recovery accordingly
- once completed, you can proceed to update/upgrade (basically to install) it via the eRecovery
- once the upgrade/update/installations are complete, you can reboot.
- just know that everything on your device will be lost - full system and sdcard wipe will be made.
I hope you find the above helpful for you.
