bricked 1a - yet cannot connect via ADB. Help!! - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

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.

Forget CWM fastboot flash TWRP then load your rom via microsd.....

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.

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 !!

[Q] Unroot Fail Need Help will pay for fix

Hi everyone,
Well I'm in that freak out stage.... where I am sure some of you have been.
Heres my issue...
I have a transformer prime that;
I just unrooted using Vipermod
Then did a factory reset
Now I am stuck in CWM recovery
I attempted to do a restore but after it gets done it brings me back into the recovery
I attempted to ADB but the command prompt opens and closes right away ( I assume from not being in USB debugging, which I cant get into without a rom)
I have no rom's currently downloaded into the prime as I just wiped everything in there as well.
Please i'll gladly pay $5 to anyone who can fix this without it breaking more (hard bricking if I havent already done so)
AHHH please guys help, I'm afraid it will run out of battery soon then I'll be royally screwedddd
anyone?
are you on windows 7?
yes windows 7 professional sp 1 32bit . to reiterate I am stuck in Clockwork mod Recovery without root, and with no roms on the internal SD. I have access to one restore that works but after it completes it reboots back in recovery.

Turn on your tablet, let it boot into CWM.
Open cmd, cd to the directory with adb (for example cd C:\android), then copy this line of text below and right click > paste in the command prompt window.
adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 count=13

That should get you out of CWM into Android, assuming your restore works fine.
Attempted and got error device not found.
I have uninstalled the transformer drivers and also installed the universal drivers as said in other threads.
I assume to use ADB i need usb debugging on for it to read??
My issue is I cant get into any rom so turning on usb debugging is a no go.
can i fastboot push a rom to the internal sd card or better yet can i install a rom from the external SD card via Clockwork mod recovery?

Save the file and then try running the adb command I gave again.
Says error device not found. I appreciate the help keep it coming it's keeping my hope alive. I really hope this isnt truly hard bricked.
I cant get ADB to read the transformer prime. When I type adb devices nothing shows up . it starts the daemon successfully but then doesn't show the tfp.
Thank you again for helping. I am honestly going to pay who ever finds the true fix. This stress sucks

Try the instructions here. Try using this only as a last-ditch resort.
it wont shut off either... i tried both of the above mentions and cant get adb to recognize the prime
Attempted both and stuck at recovery loop without root. any more ideas? is it possible to flash rom from external sd? or is there a recovery I could fastboot rhat has this feature?
Attempted both and neither work. I need to somehow get usb debugging enabled while in clockwork mod. Or figure out a way to install a rom via external SD card while in CWM. Any more help is appreciated!

No adb debugging is needed in cwm. Even without any ROM installed. Recovery is different from Android.
Try to long press power (at least ten seconds) to hard reboot, and see if it changes something in device detection.
Did a hard reset and it boots me back into Recovery.
I was able to get a new rom into the internal SD via the emergency/backup.zip method but after it completes and I do a reboot it just boots right back into recovery again.
Any help please is apprecaited.

Oh joy. This one is a spaghetti western in the making.
Okay. Question first : Does Windows 7 RECOGNISE the device in any way shape or form. To find out if this can be done, you need to power up the device and hold the power and volume down buttons, DO NOT press volume up when it suggests a kernel image. If you get three icons, hit vol down once and up once, then plug the USB cable into the PC and the tablet.
If it sees "Something", you've a chance. Download the naked universal USB driver from the dev forum, install it and have your device pick it up on the windows computer. I'm assuming from your comments that you've GOT a working fastboot and adb so I'm going to skip the instructions on that.
If you do have a something, and it's recognised, hit fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot, if it reboots of it's own accord at this point, you can confirm you have working ADB and Fastboot access. From there you've a few choices. My personal preference would be to ADB push a rom down -after- doing a rebuild of the recovery image via fastboot (I really recommend TWRP for this bit).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26093546#post26093546 - This post here which I wrote will explain how to flash TWRP from fastboot access, presuming you can get it. Once that step is done, wipe EVERYTHING from TWRP, and I mean the whole nine yards, including /system. Raze the memory down to only things it can't actually nuke. Once that's done, reboot to fastboot protocol, get a ROM pushed via ADB and install from inside TWRP.
That -should- get you back in business. Though judging by the tangle you're in, I make no promises.
ADB wont recognize the device. I have installed and uninstalled the drivers about 5 times.
It wont boot into fastboot - just goes directly into Clockwork Mod recovery. Even while holding power and volume down text comes up that says looking for asus recovery. then says clockwork recovery and boots directly into that.
The only way I can get anything into the internal SD card is with MasterZen88's Emergency script tool that puts any 1 file into the internal SD card as backup.zip
It was unrooted prior to all of this as well.
*cringe*
If ADB isn't working -at all- and it's not using the naked USB drivers to get you any kind of workable access. You're starting to smell very much like a hard brick scenario. I'm honestly not sure if there's a way out of that. A lot of the solutions for unbricking absolutely require that the device is able to talk to the outside world, if it's not and the ADB shell is essentially telling you it's talking to dead air, you're in a world of pain.
It's a long shot but it may be worth speaking to ASUS to see if they are willing to, for a fee, restore your tablet to factory settings. Though I can't imagine that will be cheap or simple. If you are able to get an RMA or a means of getting ASUS to poke it, make sure to take photos. Their techies appear to have the worst case of butterfingers in the world.
Go over Pandaball's suggestion, because that's really the last step I can think of before contacting ASUS

>>[HELP!!]Transformer Prime Stuck at ASUS Boot<<

Okay guys here's the dealio-
I recently got my transformer prime and I *loved* it. It came pre-loaded with the .21 version of ICS, which can't be rooted as of now so I downgraded to stock .15 with a modified ViperMod and then rooted and installed CWM. Next, I installed the Gummy custom ROM onto my prime (still .15). Well, I started to experience some weird -probably ROM related- issues and I ended up deciding to flash back to stock. ...BIG MISTAKE on my part I found out! I used the modified ViperMod to flash back to the stock .15 and it ran through the process but stopped at the ASUS boot logo with the little loading circle going around and around and around. First I let it sit for a VERY long time-stuck on boot. Then, I tried turning it off and back on-stuck on boot. Next, I tried pushing down the little recovery button-stuck on boot. I tried booting into CWM, but obviously, since I flashed back to the stock .15, all I get is the android guy laying in his side with the red triangle.
I am really really hoping that this is not a hard brick because the error that people are describing is the tablet stuck in the screen with "EeePad" in the middle and then getting something about an "unrecoverable bootloader error". My tablet boots past the EeePad screen and there is no error message-just the endless loading circle.
I am hoping that one of you smart guys could have a clue on how to revive my tablet. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and maybe I can buy you a beer if you bring my baby back to life
Here is a picture of what it looks like (circle is still spinning):

so you can get into recovery? I saw you said you tried to flash cm9 again. if you caught in a bootloop, jemaine made a zip file you can flash to get you out of it. you have to search for it though in developement section. does your computer still recognize your prime when you hook it up to your computer? you may need to adb commands into prime.
good luck getting it back running.

I no longer have cwm installed, it is just the stock recovery so I cannot install any .zip's. Also, when I plug the tablet in wile its on the Asus loading screen, the computer DOES recognize it. Maybe there is some way to get into it and reflash?
Any suggestions guys?

When you say your pc can see the prime can you see it with adb? If not go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502
Once you have adb figured out you should be able to reflash recovery. See this thread:

I used method 2. You will need to push the blob file to your prime using adb. Hope that helps.
Won't turn off and stuck on Boot screen PANIC!!!!
I'm running CM9 nightlies on my 64gb TF201 and have had no issues with it. I'm using GooManger and Teamwin for recovery and have not had any issues in that department either. Until now.
So 2 days ago a nightly was released that I flashed with out issues. The updated ROM however wanted to open the virtual keyboard when I started typing so I decided to revert back. I did this by just flashing an earlier released nightly. It went through the process and then restarted. The boot screen came on and then never left. If I try and turn it off it just restarts. I can't get it into recovery but I can get into fastboot. However I don't have a little Android symbol just the wipe data and USB. I don't have a backup on my computer that I can push through. I flashed CWM recovery through fastboot in hopes of then being able to get into recovery but with no luck. I used transformerprimerecovery.zip followed all the instructions got an "OK" and "finished" on CMD. At the same time the little progress bar on the TF showed that it did something but no change with my condition.
When I'm connected with fastboot it doesn't show up on my computer as I found to be expected. In device manager Android Phone is listed and when I click on it ASUS Android Bootloader Interface shows up stating device is working properly. If I open CMD and type "cd" it just replies C:\users\Josh>. I tried to wipe data to see if it would and it said it did but still no change. I've been reading for the past two days and haven't found the same set of problems yet. I've found similar issues but not all together.
Please if anybody has a suggestion for me I would be most Thankful. I've not had any luck with my searches
Thanks

I seem to be falling further down the rabbit hole. I mentioned above that I was able to flash CWM recovery via fastboot was not able to access it. I tried the same process with TeamWin recovery. It just stated that the specified path could not be found. So I'm losing features now.

When you are trying to flash anything in adb or in fastboot, put the file in the same folder as those .exe files. Manytimes it is a typing mistake on the path that kills you. Also remember to add the.zip at the end of the file name if applicable.

No luck. I've tried rearranging all the files associated with adb and fastboot I can think of. I've opened the CMD window from about every file as well as from the start menu and I can't get CMD prompt to recognize the tablet. The tablet allows me to get to the point where it states that it is "starting fastboot USB download protocol". Device manager shows Android Phone > ASUS Android Bootloader Interface. And when I remove the device it shows it listed as "fastboot device". I'm stumped on getting into CMD and can't do anything until I do. It just stays on the boot screen until I force it off. And if I'm not holding down the volume up button when I do it, it just recycles on. I've found post regarding the boot screen locked on but everybody has been able to fix it through a properly functioning fastboot/ADB.

The command window should be opened from the same window (folder) you have adb.exe or fastboot.exe in otherwise it isn't going to work unless you have the exact path which is easy to kame a mistake on. I would try the following:
If your not on twrp I would fastboot install it first.
Install universal naked driver
Download and unzip nvflash file
In the folder window where adb.exe is, press and hold shift, and right click and select open command prompt here.
Now do adb devices
You should see you device
put you rom in the same folder and push it to the table
reboot to recovery and install

Cant save my Prime

Flashed the Broccoli nightly rom I can no longer boot or get back into CWM. Computer cannot start the device. Can someone please help me? Tried all the tools and methods. It won't work unless I can get the device to start when connected to my computer.
RIght now when I press Vol Up and power, it brings me to cold boot linux. Cannot select anything or do anything. When connected to comp, it says device cannot start Code 10. Don't know what else to do. Help please
Looks like you're having an issue similar to mine. You'll need to setup ADB and push another rom to your Prime.
Can you get into recovery?

This thing is completely frozen no matter what. I can power off and on but that's about it. The device won't start according to windows. I'm praying I won't have to RMA or something.
You shouldn't be getting that screen pressing vol up and power.....that should be vol down and power, then doing nothing.

Hi,
where it says press down to change mode you should be able to highlight the middle icon. If so that is fastboot and you have a chance.
I had a very bricked Prime and it only got that far. Then I followed this post.
You must download the fastboot and adb from the links given. I had some from elsewhere and they didn't work so well.
Also, I am not an Android hacker and I think that the dd command is somehow dangerous. At the end of the day, on my machine, I'm back with AndroWook and latest Motley kernel
Best of luck.

Thanks let me try now. I hope it works. How did you get the computer to recognize the prime? Do I need to enable asus sync?

So when your device turns on its in a recovery loop right? You try to reboot and it goes right back to recovery?
It's ok don't worry, we will get it fixed. If that's what your problem is its referred to brick 1a in the unbrick your prime sticky thread.
We just need to setup ADB if you haven't already, and run one command. PM me if you need some help and ill try my best to get you through it or remotely connect to your computer to help you.
I highly suggest TWRP recovery after you get rebooted.

This is what I did while in CWM. Below is a copy of an insert from this thread.

Anyhow, so after you have that version installed:
1. Download "ROOTED 9.4.2.21 CWM compatible signed US version"
d - h . s t / r 4 4 -> WITH NO SPACE! (This is from the Primeval: The STOCK stock rom) Thread.
2. EXTRACT IT to the same directory where your ADB is! We only need the BLOBFILE from that zip folder!
3. Once you have the files extracted just run the following on your Command line:
adb push blobfile /sdcard/ ---> Its going to look like its not doing
nothing but dont worry its doing it in the background after 401 or some
seconds the command line will returned to you with a message like this:
1275kb, dadadada...
4. VERY IMPORTANT!: enter:
adb shell
dd if=/sdcard/blobfile of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
(Same as the previews step it will take forever but it will work dude!)
5. DONE! at least this is what worked for me man!
Im so happy now my Asus is freaking Brand NEw again! i was JUST about to through this garbage away but im so happy "dklue" gave me the BLOB concept idea! heheheh i guess i learned something new now..
the thing is the computer is not picking it up i tried diffrent drivers and still nothing i try doing ADB Shell device not found in order to do some commands i have to have it mount and thats the problem what ever i do wont move nothing so basicly is still on CWM only reboot and back again to CWM
Hold power and vol down to boot into CWM. Then you can do the blobfile push. It worked for me

Nabi 2 root brick issue - experts needed please!

Ok, so I attempted to root a Nabi 2 so I could use the SD card to hold apps since the onboard memory is terrible and I bricked the dang thing. I unlocked root supposedly using a one click app method, then I was able to attempt to update using the updater already on the Nabi. During the reboot, thats when it bricked. It is stuck in a constant boot loop mode that eventually ends up on a dead android screen.
My main problem is I know there has got to be a way to restore a stock rom/os on it, but every how to guide out there assumes that I already know what the hell they are talking about. SDK, ADB, HIV, STD, its irritating. Also, I tried TWRP, ADB, etc. but since the Nabi is in a constant boot loop and dead android screen, I can't get my PC to recognize it for more than 5 seconds. Is there a step by step guide to what I need to do for a novice? Like step 1. "since your PC can't recognize the device in the first place this is where you start". Step 2, use "this program, then this, and this is why".
Can anyone out there help me get pointed in the right direction? I am tech savvy but the existing guides assume too much, have broken links, and don't say anything about what to do when you can't even get your device to be recognized.
Thanks
Aaron
I am pretty sure TWRP is the way to go but it isn't able to manipulate the Nabi, and I can't install drivers, etc or do anything else due to the constant reboot.

So what version of software was the Nabi running? There are 3 different versions of TWRP depending on if you were on Ice Cream Sandwich, Jellybean, or Kitkat.
First of all to stop the bootloop can you get to the bootloader screen? Power up by holding the power and vol - (or maybe vol + I never pay that much attention). You should see a screen with little lines of text that say "fastboot protocol, recovery kernel, forced recovery, etc). If you can get there then we need to get TWRP on the device. You will need to have tablet plugged in to computer and select fastboot protocol. Now go to windows device manager and see if you see "android device" or only an unknown device. For unknown device you can try these drivers http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62826514&postcount=2639
See if this will detected the device once you have fastboot running and we can work from there. NablabGUI installer. http://nabtabhacks.com/nabilabgui2015/publish.htm
If the fastboot devices button give you a device number then you can try and install TWRP.

I want to say it was running 4.1 or 4.2 but I'm not positive. Stupid me should have written it down. Is it possible to load any of the versions now that I have wiped it? I was able to go to the kernal mode using + and pwr, then from there I got the dead android screen. From there I did a - and + and got an option to side load recovery or boot to ADB I think it was. So since I can at least get there, is there anything I can do? Other than that, TWRP won't recognize it and says no drivers are loaded. I'm assuming because I can't get the Nabi to stay stable long enough to actually load anything on to it? The device recognizes for a few seconds then disappears.

At the screen where you selected "kernel mode", select "fastboot protocol" instead. With the tablet plugged in go to your computer and open "device manager". Look for the device. You will need to have drivers loader for fastboot before you can do anything. Once you get the drivers loaded you will need to get TWRP on device. Lets just get fastboot working first.
This is something I am working on too that might be helpful

Ok, I tried fastboot, but it doesn't really do anything. Once I go into fastboot, I have more options. Bootloader, continue, reboot bootloader, reboot, and power off. None of the options allows the Nabi to show up as a device in device manager. Everything just takes me to the dead android unfortunately.
So I guess my next question would be, how do I get drivers loaded for a device that can't show up?

Have you installed these drivers yet? Nabilab driver for 32 or 64 windows? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62826514&postcount=2639
The part you did where it just had bootloader, continue, etc is the correct screen you want to be in. Install the drivers and then go back to the fast boot protocol again.

Geeze, my bad! Sorry about that. I must have not seen that part. Ok, with the fastboot menu sitting there and the 64 bit drivers installed, I am able to see "android device" in the device manager, and it shows up as a fastboot device in NabiLab GUI and Tools. Now I'm excited! Whats next?

If you are in NabiLab2015. Go in to the Nabi2 screen. There should be an option to select which version you are using(ICS, JB, KK, etc) You can cycle though install the 3 different TWRP's until you find the one that boots. Normally it needs to be in Android or TWRP not in the fastboot bootloader but I think it will still install.
If not you can go back to main screen open a command window and type.
fastboot flash recovery 2/new/recvoery/recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery 2/JB/recovery/recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery 2/ICS/recovery/recovery.img
Each line you type is a separate attempt, meaning you will have to get back to the fastboot screen each time.
Or if you are feeling frisky it should have an option to return to stock. You will lose your data doing it that way, there might be another way where you can save it.

It recognizes the Nabi in the device manager, and when I click Fastboot - bootloader - Devices on the Tools section of NabiLab2015, but when I go under NV7A Disney/Nick (which I think this one is) or NV7A - US, it won't show the device under either Nabi Product Tab. Also, from the command prompt for all 3 commands, I get "C:\Users\aaronf\AppData\Local\Apps\2.0\R81BWYH1.9HO\2X87EK1X.KEM\nabi..tion_0000000000000000_0001.0000_ecfca16b310dc7a8>fastboot flash recovery 2/ICS/recovery/recovery.img

Not sure what to do next. I feel we are really close though, but the program still can't truly "see" my device I don't think.

No problem at all. Ok, that seemed to have done something. I put in the exact one you just changed above, and I rebooted normally, now I have a TWRP screen on the Nabi display. Now, what instructions do I need to follow? Do I still use NabiLab2015, if so the Disney/Nick or NV7A - US? Both now say "TWRP +mount:mounting /system on ext4 failed: no such file or directory.
Also, here is this if it helps. This now shows up under ADB - Android/TWRP - devices:

Good. Progress.
Let's try the other TWRP's. The /system not mounted sounds like a wrong TWRP version.
In TWRP go to the reboot tab, and select reboot bootloader.
In NabiLab command prompt try
fastboot flash recovery 2\recovery\JB\recovery.img
EDIT: Also let me know, do you want to try and save your data or just start fresh with latest Nabi software.

Ugh, it seems the only one that will do anything is the first one: Fastboot flash recovery 2\recovery\ICS\recovery.img. That one at least gave me something under devices. The other two android versions JB and KK didn't show up as a device at all. Also, when trying to open the NabiGUI program now, it crashes out. So maybe its the program causing the issue of not seeing the other two versions of Android? I dunno. Also, a fresh start with the latest Nabi software would be just fine. This whole thing started out with me wanting to utilize expandable SD card storage for apps so if that can actually be done, awesome! But bottom line, if this thing just works again I am cool with that too.

If the program is crashing open windows task manager and see if any ads.exe are running or try rebooting the computer.
So let's get back to what worked. Use the same commands as you did to get it working the first time.
In TWRP on tablet. Try going to wipe tab and do a factory reset. Just to see if it will wipe the system.

Ok, I tried the Fastboot flash recovery 2\recovery\ICS\recovery.img command again, it worked, then I went into the TWRP on the tablet, did a complete wipe, and now it is stuck on the Nabi logo screen. About all I can do to it now is reboot it into fastboot and nothing else.

-Best done with external SD card.
-Boot to TWRP by booting tablet to bootloader menu. (With tablet powered down press and hold both Vol- and power)
-Select recovery kernel with vol keys
-Do a back up of just the boot partition in TWRP. Just check "boot" and nothing else. Make sure you are backing up to external storage(MicroSD card)
Install 3.0.13 ROM and bootloader.
- Download 3013 stock ROM https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B08qqrSbn4djOFQ1a0cwQjVEV2M/view?usp=sharing
- Put SD card in computer. Navigate to the folder TWRP/BACKUPS/XXXX. XXX is a serial number unique to your Nabi.
- Make a new folder and call in whatever you want. So it should now look like TWRP/BACKUPS/XXX/yourfolder
- Unzip the 3013stock.zip file you downloaded in to the "yourfolder" you created above. The files should look like ext4.system.win, emmc.boot.win, ext.addon.win, etc. This should set you up for the 3.0.13 ROM.
- Download the KK3013bootloader zip https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B08qqrSbn4djcnVTYjI0dTJSQjA/view?usp=sharing.
- Copy it to the SDcard. This will be for the bootloader update.
- Put sdcard in Nabi
- Boot to TWRP
- Go to restore tab, and find the backup under the "yourfolder" you made on the external SD card and unzipped the files to.
- You should be able to select boot, system, and addon and skip the others.
- If everything restores then go to TWRP "install tab", find the KK3013bootloader.zip you downloaded and install it.
- Reboot

Nabi 2 hangs on bootloader

I have searched a lot on google and xda and havn't found an answer to my issue. Either I'm searching for the wrong thing or I have a very unique problem.
My basic problem is on two Nabi 2's I can't access the bootloader in order to be able to fastboot TWRP (or any other recovery). It just perpetually hangs.
Both tablets boot just fine. Both tablets are on 1.9.37. Both tablets can be factory wiped via the stock recovery.
Both tablets were rooted via TWRP 2.3.3.0 a few years ago in order to install gapps. I wanted to be able to upgrade the tablets to JB when it came out so I used Nabilablite to "return to stock". I followed all of the prompts and it appeared as though everything worked as desired. I downloaded the OTA update told it to install and never looked at the version again...I just assumed it installed. Handed the tablets back to the kids and everyone was happy. Apparently all I did was flash the stock recovery because they are still rooted and have gapps after several factory resets.
Now (a year later) I have realized I was a dufas and didn't actually effect the change I wanted.
If I hold Vol+ & Pwr buttons it loads to the recovery/boot menu with "boot normally" "fastboot protocol" "recovery kernal" and "forced recovery". If I boot normal, the tablet works fine but I can't update via OTA.
If I choose fastboot protocol it just hangs...for ever...HOW DO I FIX THIS!?!?!
If I choose recovery kernal it loads the stock recovery but still wont install any update OTA or otherwise, even from the sd card.
If I choose forced recovery nothing happens, it also appears to just hang.
If I hold Vol- & Pwr button the nabi logo flashes then the device turns off.
If I hold Vol+ & Vol- & Pwr buttons it appears to be the same as just Vol+ & Pwr.
With the tablet on and fully booted I can see it via ADB. I tried using the adb restart bootloader. The tablet reboots but then just hangs never actually loading the boot loader...
I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2587543. But aicjofs mentions seeing a bootloader issue once before.
Usually when it hangs at the Nabi logo it means you don't have the USB cable plugged in or that the fastboot driver is not installed.(Check device manager and see if fastboot driver is installed/no exclimation point). If that's not the issue then it's the bootloader which I have only seen one person have that issue. Depending on which OTA's you have ran there was an update to a Jellybean bootloader so it's possible. That can be fixed with nvflash or placing the bootloader blob in the staging partition.
Also you can always get recovery back without fastboot in Android by dd'ing the recovery over.
For example if the recovery image is on the internal SD
dd if=/data/media/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/SOS
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have NO idea what dd'ing the recover over is...
Thank you for any help fixing this.
P.S. I have a 3rd tablet that I also used TWRP 2.3.3.0 on to root and install gapps with. I did NOT use nabilablite on that tablet to return to stock. Yesturday I used fastboot to flash TWRP 2.6(something) to flash a JB OTA update which worked fine. It was also able to download and install every other OTA update all the way to the most recent KK with no problems...

EDIT: OOOPPS. I didn't see this was in the XDA Assist section. I'm not suppose to answer questions(I was just searching for Nabi questions and didn't notice this was XDA assist), dedicated XDAers just point you in the right direction in this section. Please ask the question again in the Nabi2 section and I'l come help you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nabi-2
This might help answer some questions http://forum.xda-developers.com/nabi-2/general/nabi-information-t3229119
If it just hangs at fastboot protocol then the USB connection isn't good or fastboot driver isn't installed most of the time. Can you verify fastboot shows up in device manager?(I know the 3rd tabet worked OK) .
Nabilabite doesn't do anything that should change the bootloader, and fastboot should still work as it did before.
dd'ing recovery over means that you use the root access you have in Android to flash the recovery partition instead of using fastboot. IT's just another way of getting the TWRP recovery on the tablet.
The stock recovery won't install the OTA because when you added Gapps it changed some fies and the OTA sees those files as invalid and will fail.
Forced recovery always looks blank screen. It's waiting for you to give it a bootloader to run(beyond the scope here).
You should be able to get back on track once you have TWRP loaded. It's one of 3 things. Bad USB connection, fastboot driver not installed right, bootloader damage. Check the first 2 issues despite the fact the 3rd tablet had no such problems.
One of the XDA smart guys fixed my error of posting this in the wrong section.
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate and have installed and re-installed the drivers several times. When the tablet's are fully booted ADB has a good connection and sucessfully sends the command to reboot. So I don't believe there is a driver or USB cable error...
When the tablets hang on the fastboot protocol my computer makes the usb connecting noise but fails to install the drivers...
When I hit forced recovery I hear the unrecognized USB device sound...
These two things make me think I don't have the proper drivers installed...but I don't understand how the driver's work when the tablet is booted but not when trying to access the boot loader.
It appears as though I'm going to have to try the dd method if you are able to point me in that direction please.
EDIT: Now I'm thinking I really DON'T have the fastboot drivers installed. I just plugged the 2nd tablet that hands on the fastboot menu and fastboot failed. I also booted the tablet completly, the adb driver's installed correctly but the fastboot driver's did not...I have installed the 64 bit driver's included with nabilablite. I can't find any actual other downloads. The 15 second ADB installer didn't change anything...
