I am hoping someone may be able to give me some assistance. I am having an issue with this tablet. Now i will say it DOES work i can boot into it etc but am having a problem with it. Its to do with device certification when attempting to use services such as googles play store etc. Ive tried numerous times to correct this but to no avail. Factory resets etc have had no resolution on this issue. I am assuming that it has a custom rom on it (Android 5.1 lollipop). Ive phoned the manufacturer and they suggested a factory reset from recovery mode. Alas Ive already tried that and failed. I did manage to find a "Stock ROM" for this device on needroms.com but when i attempted to flash it and loaded in the scatter file it came up with a checksum mismatch error. So my only avenue left is to find a custom rom that will sort this issue out, but I have been unable to find one anywhere.
If anyone here has experience of this tablet Im wondering if you know of a custom rom that would be suitable to use with it (and more importantly one that has a custom gapps on it also).
Many many thanks.

Sorry my apologies. This post can be ignored as ive resolved the issue. My issue being that for some reason the tablet became unrooted and hence caused the issues with google play services. Rooting it via USB from my PC using kingoroot re-rooted the device and I have regained usage of play services etc.
Hi, I'm getting trouble finding this stock rom for tc 1051g. That site you mentioned maybe has it but it need somekind of premium membership and i aint that. I would be happy with any kind of rom for this unpopular tablet. thnx

Hey guys, so i got my phone serviced yday and ever since im unable to use any of the Custom ROMS available.
I tried every possibilities, but some how even though im able to install it via recovery, im unable to enter the ROM due to the continuous Boot loop without any animations too.
But im able to FLASH the Normal Stock Roms as many times as i want.
Never experienced this trouble before at all.
Please help/guide me to resolve this issue.
Unable to use my phone without Custom ROMS.
Thanks in advance!
Google searches do work
You might want to google boot loop specificly with your phone's name in the search. Then do the same search here on xda. Your question has most likely been addressed elsewhere and maybe by the tag on the bottom of this thread you started.
Buggy recovery I guess, change or reflash your recovery.

Got some help on the forum;
downloaded asus firmware, unpacked blob, fastboot flash staging blob; fastboot reboot
Prime is now back to fully operational!
Many thanks to @kkdm

Hello,
I have looked around the various threads (including the 'how to unbrick your prime' one) but have not seen this issue mentioned.
I have a strange issue where if I factory reset (i.e. to Asus) the device will simply keep looping at the ASUS EEE logo, with device is unlocked in the top left hand corner. If however I install CM10 or another MOD, it seems to work as normal and boot into the homescren.
Having read around, there was an issue with an Asus update where it appeared to do something similar to this, is it perhaps that I am on that version and thus am getting the same error? Would a simple download and copy of the latest ASUS ROM fix that? I am unsure on how to do this exactly, but have read this was an issue, but I find it unlikely as everything was fine before I unlocked etc.
Is it perhaps the bootloader has become corrupt in some way with the ICS/JB difference? This is just a guess on my limit knowledge...
The reason for putting back the ASUS stock ROM is selling the device, having upgraded to the Infinity, and do not particularly want to send it with CM10 on.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
What do you mean factory reset back to asus ?
You cannot just hit factory reset and it will go back to stock rom as you have overwritten it with cm10, or do you mean you have tried to install the stock version of the rom?
DO NOT use the official software from the Asus site, this can brick it.
There is a stock rom somewhere in the development section. You need to flash that to the tablet and you will be good to go.
edit... this is what you want .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1708613
It turns out there is no ROM on the internal storage anymore (I must have selected the format option on my last attempt at installing Androwookie), as a result I cannot access the sdcard by plugging the thing into my PC.
Is there a way of installing this via the micro SD card slot?

Hello,
Just to clarify, I can get into recovery without issue, it just won't boot after factory reset and now hangs at ASUS logo.
Is there a way around this at all? :--(
Hello,
Latest problem is having ASUS Transformer Prime ADB Interface listed in Device Manager, but not being able to use the adb shell.
I get either 'device not found' or occasionally something about /system/sh not being found, in either case this is obviously not good.
I can still get into TWRP 2.1.3 though, surely there must be a way round this?
Now fixed, see first post
First I would like to say I have gone through a lot of postings looking for an answer to my question so I have looked for my own answers. I also went through many sites outside of this one and haven't found a answer yet. I flashed UltraJack-Recovery v4.6.2 and then installed LeanFUSION V2 and this all went fine. I then decided to restore the original rom and discovered it was corrupted. After two days I finally found a download site that wasn't just a dead link and got the STOCK_ROM_USA_TMO which is 98.6mb. When I tried to install this rom I get " E:No signature (6 files) E:Verification failed Installation aborted." I actually get this type of message with most of the roms I tried. The amount of signatures missing varies but same sort of thing. Anyone who could provide me with a confirmed working factory rom or help with getting the one I have working would be really appreciated. Thanks for any help folks!!
Okay I decided to try installing Clockworkmod Recovery to my u8150 to see if I could get back to the original rom. The Google Apps version doesn't support the Ideos and I am having trouble figuring out how to install the 5.0.2.8 Clockworkmod Recovery by fastboot. I hate to ask for hand holding but I can't seem to figure this out. I really would like to have a bit more variety in roms I can install or returning to the factory rom but the UltraJack Recovery won't get past the unsigned or non verified sections of the roms I want to install. There has got to be someone out there who can help with this stuff. Thanks for any help.....
Hi everyone,
It seems I messed up my Prime and I think I know why it happened. I'll first ask my question and then detail what I think happened at the end. I've been reading around the forums for the past few days and I think I'm experiencing brick number 3 as detailed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514088 I followed the link provided under option 3 which links to a thread about an Transformer Prime IRC channel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367016 I logged in into the IRC channel and someone greeted me by asking for the binaries...frankly, I've no idea what to do in that channel.
I was on the stock Asus Jellybean Rom. I used the Asus Unlock tool and installed TWRP via fastboot as explained in their website (installed the JB.blob). Everything worked fine. I then committed a mistake. I was going to perform a data wipe before installing the new ROM (latest CM nightly) but in retrospect I think that I only performed a factory reset. It was my first time using TWRP and when I got into the wipe menu I selected wipe but I recall that the button for wiping read "slide to perform factory reset". I thought that I was wiping the data on my device but I think that I got confused and only performed a factory reset. I didn't realize that at the time and proceeded to flash the new ROM. When I restarted the device it got stuck in the Asus/Nvida splash screen.
I'm able to go into the recovery menu. I've wiped data properly many times after this and flashed CM many times but the device won't get past that splash screen. I tried flashing the ROM via ADB but whenever I enter the command the terminal shows me a list of the actions that can be performed via ADB and nothing else happens.
I've tried looking around for a solution but I've been unable to find one. Should I install/flash a stock blob rom? The links above say it may do more harm than good and no longer advice users to do that but I haven't found any other alternative. There are many threads pertaining this issue but each case is slightly different and I haven't found one that applies to my situation.
I'm mad at myself because I've had flashed so many custom roms on other devices before and had never had any problems whatsoever that I got careless when flashing the Prime. I know this is completely my fault and I don't want to waste anyone's time on this. I just would like for someone to tell me exactly what to read or where to look so that I can try and fix this situation.
just in case...I just remembered that I didn't root before flashing...could that have been the problem?
I was checking out, once again, the options in TWRP and I did wipe the device correctly. I didn't mess up as I once thought. I can't understand why this happened.
Nearly the same problem for me, case n°3 and don't know what to do. I know have a very expensive black mirror...
FIXED
YES! I was able to fix it BUT I'd be careful before trying what I did. Basically, I did what forum members had advised not to do; I flashed the Asus stock rom via fastboot. As I said before I had read plenty about the various issues with the Transformer Prime. I noticed that some people were flashing the stock rom when confronted with my situation and exhorted others to do the same since they had luck with the procedure. After that, it seems plenty of people bricked their devices by following the same procedure. This caused various senior members in XDA to no longer advise others to try to fix their tablet with that method since it was causing more harm than good (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514088)
Sadly, I had no other choice but to try that method. We were advised to go to the #Asus-Transformer IRC channel but, understandingly, there aren't many people participating in that channel (it's very old!. I was able to get assistance from a very helpful (as always) android geek but we couldn't get anything to work since I was having problems with ADB recognizing my device.
So, knowing full well the possible consequences of flashing a stock asus rom I decided to go for it. After all, the worst thing that could happen was to end with a hard bricked device and the soft brick I was experiencing wasn't as different as that (i.e. I couldn't use the device anyway). So I decided to play russian roulette and see what happened. Luckily the rom installed fine and I was able to boot past the, dreadful Asus/nvidia splashscreen! I was super lucky! Even though I'm back to the stock rom I'm happy because I can use my device once again! I really wanted to try out Cyanogen on my tablet but I will have to pass on that...I will never install a custom ROM again on my Prime
So, if anyone is feeling adventurous and has lost all hope then why not play russian roulette and check out what happens when you install the asus stock rom? I downloaded the asus image from here http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=Eee+Pad+Transformer+Prime+TF201&os=32 and followed the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680570 (just step three and four at the end since I already had a custom recovery installed). I had to unzip the download twice (it has a zip inside a zip) and copied the blob file into my fastboot directory (in the PC). I then renamed it to "update.blob" and flashed it.
Don't try it unless you are fully aware of the consequences!
Hi,
I´m hoping someone is reading this and is willing to help me out.
I recently bought the ME102A and succesfully rooted it with Kingo. Yesterday I used the info from androtab.info to install the CWM recovery, which worked great! I then accidently wiped the ASUS ROM from the tablet, trying to install a custom ROM. I should have read better, seeing as there are no custom ROM´s yet for the ME102A. I the tried almost every option I can think of, trying to get the original firmware back on the tablet but to no avail. I've read countless of threads and sites, but have yet to find the solution for me.
I´m currently back to stock recovery, unable to use the tablet. I can only boot into Android system recovery. I tried to install the custom CWM image found in this thread, as well as the stock image found on adrotab.info. I´ve seen almonst every error mentioned on this site and on others, like the "assert failed" and the "<waiting for device>" as well as "Installation aborted"...
I'm at a loss and am hoping some of you good folks can help me bring the life back to my tablet. It's not my first time flashing ROM's so I understand some of the basics (although reading apparently isn't my strongest point...) and can work a little with ADB and FastBoot etc. I have however no understanding of RKAndroidTool and the likes. But I am willing to try almost everything at this point...
Regards, Arie
If you are still around I ran into a very similar problem today and managed to bring the memo pad back to life. It may not be exactly the same problem you had but I would be more than happy to help if you are still around
This is basically what i managed to do
Issues on current version
official update cannot be installed. you need to modify updater-script as follows
remove
assert(getprop("ro.build.asus.sku") == "XX");
replace
write_raw_image(package_extract_file("YYYY"), "ZZZZ");
with
package_extract_file("YYYY", "/dev/block/platform/emmc/by-name/ZZZZ");
(it seems it needs more fixes for OTA update...)
touch(swipe) does not work.
