Hi Everyone,
my machine had HB 1.2 on it until yesterday. I wanted to update it to 1.3 and tried to get into recovery.
Now I did see the RCV logo on by screen but once I selected it I got stuck.
Next thing I wanted to get back to my normal boot and it also got stuck. Even APX no longer seems to work.
So does this mean it is really bricked? I've been searching through the net but can't find exactly this situation.
I'm afraid I don't know what to no next, apart from shipping it back to asus.

Do you have nvFlash enabled?? If so, you should be able to recover the device... you could get in touch with the AndroidRoot team if you have nvFlash and cannot easily enter APX mode...

Well I did downloaded nvFlash, before the machine froze I was able to get into APX mode however I never enabled nvFlash.
I was in fact trying to do that when it all broke down for me.

When you say "enabled" are you referring to successfully completing the nvflash process given by the AndroidRoot Team? Just for clarification.

Some more information. If I try to boot in APX mode (PWR + Vol UP) my pc does seem to detect some device.
In fact I see a Asus Transformer Prime APX interface in my Device manager.
However adb devices does not show me anything. I can't really say if that is ok or not.
And fastboot devices is also telling me there are no devices.
So both fastboot and nvflash seem to be stuck.

APX mode and ADB are different. The fact that you have APX showing up is a great sign. I can't help you through the nvflash process, but i know you're probably ok...
APX mode is not for use with adb or fastboot, that is why these applications will not see the device at all.
You will not be able to use nvflash/APX mode unless you have followed the instructions provided by AndroidRoot.Mobi BEFORE getting into this situation.
Enabling access to nvflash needs to be done before the device is bricked not after
Ok so i know i have big problem.
Any idea how i get out of this mess?
It seems i only have apx right now.

Hold on a sec.. Let's go back a few steps.
When you hold down volume down and power to boot it up you are getting the 4 icons. When you press volume down and go over to the usb icon and then press volume up you are still getting entering fastboot mode correct?
If you are what is now showing in device manager on your computer. Do you have any android or asus devices or do you have any icons with explanation marks on them ?

If you on XDA forums then you are most probably moding your device, which means you will def. brick your device atleast once.
So I suggest that everyone setup nvFlash, instead of stressing for hours after there first brick.
You can find the full guide on how to setup nvFlash at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950
Below I'll summarize the steps from that guide.
1. go to https://www.dropbox.com/s/wrcd87u1iy31u4e and download nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip and nvflash_windows_20100500.zip
2. Extract the files the two .zip files that you download and copy all the files in the same folder. (I have 32 files in my nvFlash folder)
3. Download the usb driver for apx mode from http://www.myadventvega.co.uk/
4. Once you have all three of the files above, you boot in apx mode using power & vol - key. Once in apx mode, make sure you install the drivers that you downloaded in step 3. After that you can simply run the nvflash_gtablet.bat to flack back to stock rom.
Having nvFlash will help you get back to the stock rom and start from the very beginning, which is always a very good point to start when you want to install a new rom.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU FOLLOW THE ABOVE STEPS AND SETUP UP NVFLASH. IF YOU USE THE ABOVE METHOD AND NOTICE THAT YOU GET STUCK IN APX MODE AFTER YOU REBOOT YOUR DEVICE THEN USE THE nvflash_gtablet_46_2010112600.zip INSTEAD OF nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip.
also feel free to leave me a pm if you need more help or just post below
hope this helps a lot of new users who get stuck in bootloops or are having problems booting a new rom.
enjoy
I am stuck on the viewsonic boot screen coming from vegan 5.1 to GE rc-1. I need to nvflash but have a 64 bit windows 7 instalation. Are the instructions the same??
I read the original instructions but could not understand what to do? I am still kind of scratching my head. Probably easier than I am making it in my head.
Thanks for making a simple guide and answering our questions!!
Thanks. Guess I will be doing this when I get off work tonight!!
Rob
ya it works for x64...i m on win 7 64 bit and it works fine
Thanks for the info.
My question is -- when you say "download the ... files" - do you mean download to my PC or to my tablet?
That's the only part the is confusing as I'm not sure where the usb driver is to be installed (PC or tablet).
Thanks in advance.
My advice for NVFlash is DO NOT do it unless it is completely needed. From personal experience it can do more harm than good, as it has left me with a bricked device

I think your issue is something different and does not regard nvFlash. Its most probably have something to do with repartitioning. Did you try to get cwm .8 installed again on your tablet again by the method that I suggested??? or follow any of the steps that either me and K J Rad posted on the thread that you started??
I get an error when trying to install the APX driver. It says:
Cannot Start this Hardware. There was a problem installing this hardware: NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices. This device is not configured correctly. (Code 1)
I followed the instructions step by step. I recorded a quick video I recorded of the install process and error but I am new to XDA so it won't let me post the link. If you search for "Error installing APX," it should be the first one that shows up on the list - user name ouphikap21.
Any ideas?
I just tried on another computer and it worked fine. Could be a firewall or admin issue I suppose?

Go in device manager and under usb see if it is connected as a usb boot recovery device(something along those lines). If it is anything else then either you are not in apx mode(have to hold power + vol - key to get in apx on boot) or you dont have the right drivers.
Also what os are u on?

are there different drivers for Windows Xp x 64?
Now what?
Out of an abundance of caution, I installed NVflash preparatory to changing ROMs. Installation has apparently been successful but I'm not ready to flash the new ROM yet and I'm sitting here with a black (APX?) screen, still tied to my PC via USB.
What's the best procedure to revert to standard ops on my current ROM?
EDIT: I suppose I actually have the DRIVERS installed, not NVFlash.
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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24923189#post24923189
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
Hello guys, I'm here because my TF201 seems to be bricked ...
I know, there is a lot of threads about this kind of problems, but I can't succeed to solve mine by reading hundred of threads.
I explain what's happened :
My TF201 has an unlocked bootloader (by asus method), root, and has a CWM (CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4). I was on the lattest ICS build (9.4.2.15). Since october, i know that JB was on TF201, but not mine. So I decide to download the lattest Stock JB version from Asus website and to place it into my SDcard. I reboot my TF201 in recovery (holding down the volume button, then up), I've done a backup. After this backup, I've done a factory reset and I install the new ROM from my SDcard. Maybe I should not do this ... But now, my tablet stay on the bootscreen (Asus EEE pad logo). I can always access to the recovery, so I tried to factory reset and restore my previous backup ... But it didn't work, my tablet still bricked.
So, I went to google, i've read lots of threads for trying to understand whats happened to my TF201. I've read some thread on XDA forum too.
I've tried every solutions proposed, and anyone work.
I've read some articles about ADB. I installed it, but the problems is that my TF201 can't be detected by my computer (Running Win8 64). I installed drivers from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875
But, still nothing, impossible to show my device when I write "adb devices" or "fastboot devices" in windows cmd.
I'm a little bit desesperate, so i came here for writting this thread, hopping that someone could help me to unbrick my TF201 without send it back to Asus (wich cost me hundreds of euros).
I'm going in front of some questions that i've read in other thread :
No i've not TWRP recovery installed.
I haven't got a nvFlash.
Thanks for reading this thread and for your help !
Sincerelly,
Thrakka.
PS : I'm really sorry for my bad english, don't blame me ^^
You can access recovery?
Then you are not bricked.
Why not flash a custom rom?

Primarily because he has cwm recovery and jellybean bootloader. He does not know how to set up his drivers on his computer for fastboot to install the correct recovery for his bootloader.
to the OP, go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615990 and figure out how to get twrp for jellybean on your prime. TWRP supports flashing roms from the microsd slot so you dont need to push one to your sd. also if you need help getting the naked drivers to work on your prime go the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502 that pertains to others putting it on the prime. they will be more help than the galaxy naked drivers users. FORGET ABOUT CWM!!! IT IS NOT SUPPORTED ON PRIME FOR JELLYBEAN

Yes I can access to recovery, but for flashing a new rom, I need to access my internal SDcard ... But infortunatelly, now I can't.

on your pc you need to run the command from the same directory that contains the file you wish to transfer. easiest way to do this is to place the blob in the folder where your fastboot application is then hold shift and right click inside the folder. from the menu that opens choose open command window here. from there run your fastboot commands.

hey, hold up and check your pm. Do not install TWRP for jb if you are still on the ICS bootloader.
you can check which bootloader version of twrp to install by where the nvidia logo is on the bootscreen. bottom center needs ics twrp. bottom right needs Jellybean twrp. By all means if you are still with ics finish the nvflash backups first.

Hello Aduniel: I have essentially the same issue with my tf201. It seems to be hard bricked? (My guess.) If I reboot with Volume Down and Power button, I get a message "This device is Unlocked" in upper left of screen. Also large lettering in center of the screen, "ASUS" and "nNidea Tegra 3" in the lower right.
If I boot with Volume Up and Power button, I get a blank, black screen. (APX mode).
I have set up ADB and naked drivers on a notebook running Windows 7. When I try to connect via fastboot, I get a message <waiting for device>. But it does not connect.
I was wondering if you managed to get your tablet working since Nov. 2013? If so, what did you have to do? I need to know if there is any hope, or have I shot myself in the foot, as they say.
Cheers man,
Jim

Pretty simple, download it, get the latest update from Asus, extract the blob into the same folder as Urkels and name it system.blob, then run fresh start. follow instructions as it gives them to you.

Hi to all.
I open this thread because I don't found a problem as mine.
I had a Asus Transformer Prime TF201 with unlocked bootloader and root and JELLY BEAN 4.1.1
When I tried to do a Wipe, it bricked.
Now it remain the screen with: "The device is UnLocked" "ASUS, inspiring Innovation,..." "Powered by NVIDIA TEGRA"
By pressing Vol down + Power, it do NOTHING, it doesn't enter in Recovery mode (Wipe,...)
It can Only enter in APX mode by pressing Vol Up + Power.
I downloaded WSG Unbricker, Fastboot, android SDK, Naked driver, ...
But nothing works, Only APX mode
Please help me!
Thanks a lot, macros

Link you provided, says via flastboot. OP claims to have APX only.
Only APX
Yes, I can connect only in APX mode.
When I use NVflash, fastboot, adb, ... they close themself automatically.
Nothing to do?

That thread is your last chance. If you cannot fix it using that method you are hard bricked but the fact you say you cannot stay in fastboot I doubt this will help you sorry.

I know I read that but the OP started this thread with he can not find anyone else with the same issue, so I doubt he is reading much. :good:
I learned there are some people get Nexus 9 entered APX/nvflash mode by accident. Do anyone know what are the exact steps to enter such mode? I need it to fix my Nexus 9, it cannot even boot into the bootloader. Any help will be highly appreciated!

Just wondering why you'd want to get in to apx mode? I have a nexus 9 in apx mode which I can't recover from, is there a way to flash anything in apx mode?

For tablets on the tegra (Shield MiPad, etc.) there is a utility nvflash. This utility is just designed to work with a chip in apx mode.
How did your tablet get into the apx mode?

I've read about nvflash but haven't had time to learn how to use it. Seems more complex than just adb and fastboot, above my skillset. I bought the tablet as parts/not working on eBay because I needed a replacement screen and I wanted to see what the issue with it was, see if I could fix it and sell it on. When I attached it to my laptop it read as APX Device..... so no idea how it came to be in this state. Is there a way to recover from it?
