My infinity. I was foolishly in a hurry to make sure I was going to be able to receive the JB update and downloaded the build.prop that was posted last week in the ota thread. I'm so retarded that I forgot that build.prop was for .26 and not 30. So I copied it into system/ and rebooted.
Now all it does is sit at the 1st asus screen and nothing else.

I'm rooted and not unlocked. Iv'e tried factory resetting, hard reset, and nothing works. So it looks like I got an expensive paper weight now.

Any recommendations? If so it would be really awesome.

e?

adb push the correct file? might have to root again first.
i know its tempting but wiping data when you can't boot is never a good idea.

I can get to where it says:

reboot system now
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition

But i can't get my computer to recognize the tablet.

This might be a stupid question but I'll ask it anyway. Have you installed the proper drivers for ADB to recognize the TF700?

would ADB have recognized it recovery mode? Even it it does the ab doesnt give you enough time to work... 10 seconds before it attempts to reboot. what good is adb if the device isnt in an adb friendly mode? IDK... I'm sick of trying to fix these stupid little issues.. I just returned it, sure I lost some photos and files (I HATE INTERNAL STORAGE) but F it... That why I bought the warranty...
thanks anyway

Something similar to me happened when I was restoring what I thought was my original backup of the build.prop file. Now I get stuck on the Asus screen. Reseting cache, delvik, user data, etc doesn't help.

Does anyone have instructions on how to setup ADB, TF700 drivers, and how to take any firmware and flash it that method, in a simple set of instructions that doesn't require a nuclear physics degree?

I would rather not have to RMA this thing and wait a month or more to get a new one ...

You don't need adb to recover your device, just follow my How-To guide from the General forum and you should be good but you need an external MicroSd card to do it.

This assumes that I'm able to get to the recovery. I was able to at one point, but now it won't. In other words, if I hold Pwr+VDown, wait till the text, and then release Pwr+Vdown, and then press VUp, it says booting recovery image, signature blah blah, shows an android guy with his chest open and a red exclamation mark. That screen shows for a few minutes, after which I get a reboot and its back to the Asus logo. Is recovery hosed now? If so, now what the hell do I do? Is it bricked for good?

That's the stock recovery, what happens if you press Power button once while you are at the "dead android" screen?

Edit: in your case Restore with Stock recovery should do the trick.
