[Q] Possible Brick on my Prime? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

Not so recently, I messed up my Transformer Prime. I was trying to flash a new ROM so I decided to clean all the partitions, memory card, etc. Long story short, I'm nearly sure I deleted the ROM and the recovery... When I turn it on, It won't boot past the Eee Pad splash screen, and if I turn it on holding the volume down button and power button, the white text on the splash screen doesn't go past "Booting recovery kernel image". Is there any way I can fix this? I loved my Prime and I really want to fix it from it's current paper-weight position.

Download the universal naked drivers in the dev thread and see if you can fastboot to it... then you will have to flash the recovery (through fastboot) then adb and push the rom to it....then install rom through recovery... suggest you use twrp just make sure you use an older version if you haven't used nvflash.... think you need 2.1.... I have a copy somewhere here or you can probably find it in the q&a section as I have posted it there at least once.....

[Q] Phone wont boot into system recovery any more?

Phone wont boot into system recovery any more by holding vol up and power on buttons, so I cant flash a rom. running 2.1. The other day did a hard reset, because it changed to chines in the settings section. Is that some kind of virus? Is back to English now. Is there another work round to install Rom's or fix this?

Does your volume up button work for anything else, in other words can you raise the volume when booted up?
You can use ROM Manager (free on market) to backup, restore, and to flash ROMs, and you can use Quick Boot (also free on market) to reboot directly into recovery. In other words, select Quick Boot, choose Recovery and it'll shut down your Eris and boot into Recovery.
If you decide to use ROM Manager and have questions, feel free to ask here and I'll do the best I can.

Just wanted to make sure that you are aware of the various ways to boot into recovery... Please pardon if this information is repetitious or not new to you.
Of course, there's volume-up and power like you've already tried. There's also volume-down plus power which will take you to the HBOOT screen from which you can select recovery with volume-up. Of course, if you have the Android SDK installed, you can use the "adb reboot recovery" command too.
XDA's bftb0 posted some information over on AF regarding why some phones won't boot into recovery with volume-up plus power:
http://androidforums.com/eris-all-things-root/205697-notes-recovery-booting-1-5-vs-2-1-otas.html
Also, here's something I posted over on AF with a little more detail about booting into recovery:

Sounds like you don't have (or no longer have) a custom recovery installed.
Have you tried re-rooting?
I did the root with z4 root. is there a way to instalol a a custom recovery installed or put onr there for it to read?

Well, I don't how z4 root works, but I do know that jcase's 1-click root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742228) will install Amon_RA's custom recovery.
There's various ways to get a custom recovery installed, but it depends on the current state and history of your phone.
You might want to first try the 1-click method mentioned above--its probably your easiest and quickest method to at least try.

Thank you scary alien !!!! This one worked ! ( but I do know that jcase's 1-click root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742228) will install Amon_RA's custom recovery.) The vol up and power did not, but i installed the (hot reboot ) app and checked of boot in recovery mode and Upon using this hot reboot , it does now, but it would not work until I installed your fix that you suggested.

[HOWTO][RECOVERY][VIDEO] Booting Into Recovery

There seems to be a constant flow of questions about booting into recovery, so I thought I would take a video of what works for me.
In stock form this will get you to the recovery that allows you to wipe your user data. If you have an alternative recovery installed, ClockWorkMod as an example, this will get you booted into it.
UPDATED - we don't need to hold the VOL+ button.
1. Power Off the Device
2. Hold N and Power
3. After the screen has been on for about 5 seconds, release the buttons.
I hope this helps!
Nice job, BertoJG!
Come on, show us how to completely hose your OS, and boot into recovery, please! Thanks for your work on CWM!

Help Please: how to undo ClockWorkMod Recovery to use original stock Recovery?

Please pardon the cross post but anxious to find a reply.
I have installed the ClockWorkMod (& obviously its recovery menu).
The big question...
How to restore back to the original B&N Factory "recovery" program (i.e., undo installation of CW recovery system)?
I do not have a backup pre-CW; is there an image or RUU file somewhere, or is there a hidden backup copy of the original recovery to restore?
just curious this is for if you cant boot your nook currect due to a bad flash ?
others wis you could acces the recovery in the rom manager menu ?
I can boot into the CW recovery menu and select full recovery, but the result is not a virgin Nook... it is still rooted, has such app installed, etc. And most importantly, still has CW recovery mode installed and active as the recovery menu (ie whenever you do a hard reset boot) .
This is not ideal for a warranty inquiry situation when needed.
Thanks!

CWM doesn't let you do a full stock restore. The restore it gives you also needs to supplemented with about 10 steps or so in the terminal to get the stock recovery back.
Anyone whose rooting should be comfortable at the terminal, but we've known that CWM doesnt give a full backup for many days now and I guess its not a priority to get it fully operable, unless I'm mistaken...this is my first time back on the board in a while.

I must be missing some special thing - I can't boot into recovery. ROM Manager is/was able to get there, but booting with the "N" and the power key never puts me into recovery. Ideas?

You need to hold them both until you see CWR. Don't let go.. Make sure Rom manager has successfully flashed CWR (at the top of the screen in Rom manager).
I think it's a bit hard to determine how long you need to hold Power + n. In my experience very frequently my NC just shuts down when I hold too long. I have modified u-boot to use a different key combo (hold both Vol+ and Vol-) to boot into recovery. It's much easier now. If there is any interest, I can post my u-boot.bin.
Now I think of it, I should be able to modify u-boot to boot into either CWR or stock recovery base on different key combos. Would there be any interest?

I followed the above guide, and used the ROM here prepaidandroid.org/index.php?title=How_to_restore_your_Optimus_V_to_almost_original_condition
It reboots, and the same blue screen is up
My brother flashed the wrong recovery, I tried using the tutorial to fix it using fastboot.exe from windows, but it won't work as it can't find the device. windows sees an android device and I installed the drivers from lg, but it refuses to enumerate in adb shell, so I can't connect to it, any ideas?
okay after fiddleing with it a bit, I got the origional recovery mode restored on it, and when I boot into recovery and plug in usb adb can see the device, I have a stock froyo rom how do I restore from here, or can I reflash clockwork from here?

go to this page
this only works if you have some sort of custome recovery, My brother had the wrong one for the optimus v (clockworkmod 3.2.0.0) and it wouldn't install any rom.
I just played around with this page until I got the stock bootloader/recovery back, however I'm not sure if this is what we want, you may want to try flashing one of the custom recoveries listed on the site, now that I have the stock I can re-flash anything.

you need to get into a custom recovery, optimus v press back, volume up and power at the same time to boot into a recovery, if you don't have a recovery at all there maybe an issue. so try and boot into a recovery and let me know what you have.

if you can't get into any recovery your device maybe permintally bricked, but don't take what I say as gospel I'm new at this as well, I'm still looking up more info, in the mean time you need to figure out how to get into recovery, google for key combos, also when using a key combo to get into recovery make sure power is the last button you press in the combo, hold down the others then power (while still holding the other buttons) and release as soon as you see the lg logo, it should go away quickly and after a few seconds of black you'll see the recovery, if the lg logo stays up for a while it's trying to normal boot.

if you want to get aospCMod on your phone, follow this tutorial, this is what I did for my phone works great.
Now my question to you is how did you use fast boot root tool to get back to home screen because I'm still stuck at recovery
okay I finally managed to fix it, I figured out how to use fast boot root and got a custom recovery, from there I could flash other recoveries, which was importaint because even though I could install any rom I wanted it was stuck in a boot loop where it would keep booting into recovery, So i flashed Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_VM_Recovery.zip from here and under advanced it has an option to fix the boot loop, then from there I could flash a rom and it's fixed.
Lot of work fixin' my first bricked phone, but I learned alot.

My system directory seems to be missing. I've installed teamwin Recovery but am unable to mount the system drive. When I install the latest Cyanogen Mod nightly it appears to install but won't boot. All I've got is Recovery and Fastboot. Help!

Here is the whole sequence of events...
1) I was on complete stock updated to the latest Asus OTA
2) I used the Asus unlock tool to unlock the bootloader
3) I wanted to gain root access so I tried the freshroot method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929189. This didn't work and it made my system directory not be found via fastboot.
4) I attempted to load CW Recovery 5.8.3.4 for the TF201 but it wouldn't open so I went with TWRP 2.3.1.0 (both were loaded via fastboot)
5) Once TWRP was working I flashed stock Asus version 10.4.2.17(US) and was able to boot into the welcome screen
6) I still wanted root and I noticed that my recovery image was no longer loading so I attempted to once again push CW Recovery via fastboot.
7) At this point the tablet turns on to the Asus splash screen and in the top left says "The Device is Unlocked". Holding Power + Volume Down lands me in the same spot.

I really have a bad feeling about this mate. The version you mentioned earlier came out at the end of may. Jellybean didn't come out until July. I don't think they released a version since then that supports the Jellybean bootloader and if you flash an ICS recovery onto a Jellybean bootloader you will hard brick your device.
If you cannot access the icons by holding down power and volume down for about 5 seconds while you are powered off then I am afraid it is hard bricked and will have to be returned to asus and have motherboard replaced.
I know it's no conciliation but there are posts everywhere saying not to use CWM on prime

It can be repaired by asus. Ask them how much to fix. If it's too much these will sell on eBay as people want them for the screen etc.

Bricked Prime paying for fix

I recently bricked my asus transformer prime by formatting data, system, and cache without checking if I had a rom on my sd card. Without the option in CWM to install from a rom real sd card I tried to install TWRP and now I have no recovery and the screen hangs at Eee Pad splash screen. I still have the ability to use fastboot. If anyone can unbrick my transformer for me I will pay you.

Only joking, on the screen where the fastboot icon is you have a line in the top left with bootloader written in it and a long number at the end. It either starts with a 9 or a 10. What is it?
Sorry for the delay had to take one last final, I'm not sure the device has been on all since it will not turn off so I am currently charging it. I will let you know in 30 mins or so.

Ok, you are on the ICS bootloader at the moment. The first thing we are going to do is flash a version of TWRP recovery on there which will allow you to install a rom off the external SD.
Power off the prime and put yourself into fastboot mode by holding power button and volume down the same time until a few icons appear on the screen. At this point press volume down to go over to the usb icon and then press volume up. It will look like the prime has frozen. Plug the prime into pc and make sure you have the drivers installed. If you do not please install them from here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502

Only use the file in that link to install it while on ICS bootloader. Later on you are going to flash hairybean 1.51 which will take you up to Jellybean Bootloader. If you use this file after that you will brick your tablet.
You should now be able to boot into recovery again.
Go to the second post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674827 and follow the "Upgrade Instructions for ICS"
Let me know how it goes.

This kinda happened to me. Just download the program to flash TWRP. It's somewhere in XDA. I can link you when I get home. Just put it into fastboot, and USB mode and start the program, and it will flash TWRP. Then use an SD card and put the ROM on it and flash

I blame rom manager for half of these bricks. It is letting people flash an ICS version of Cwm regardless of what bootloader they are on. Someone should speak to them.
Your tegra logo is in the bottom right meaning you are on the jellybean bootloader. You have flashed a ICS recovery on there and unless you have NVFlash backups or can get into fastboot then you are hard bricked.
