Exclamation [Warning] Beats Audio Installer soft bricked my device

Hi guys,
as you can read from the title i softbricked my tablet after installing Beats Audio.I've been trying to improve the audio part on this device (or at least make it sound louder) but after Beats Audio Installer restarted the tablet it got stuck at the Asus logo (the one with the spinning wheel) and doesn't go any further.
Factory restore doesn't solve the issue,downgrading with the .22 rom also doesn't work so only solution is to wait until Asus release the .26 update on their support site.Anyway just wanted to warn you guys so your tablet doesn't end up like mine

take a Micro sd an put the update zip on it and name it EP700_SDUPDATE.zip zip then hold the volume button while turning in to go into recovery mode

Also did you reset data on your tablet afterwards? Using the recovery menu?

I did found some interesting solutions to the issue,but i'm still investigating,see here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1492887 and here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1738825

It's a bit complicated but i already setup a Kubuntu installation, now i have to make sure the device is recognized in adb.For now i'm tired,the tablet battery is empty so i guess is better if i get some sleep before trying a risky procedure like this.

Is not easy to downgrade when your device is soft bricked and when your bootloader is still locked so you dont have CWM recovery.And btw,i've never said i downgraded,i've said the downgrade to a previous firmware doesn't work using Asus recovery.

P.S. I love Android devices but Google sould seriously consider banning such high risk applications from Market,you can't just let every application in there.

Welcome back! Had to be a nighmare. I bricked mine (and I am proud to say I was the first here to brick it ;>) only for a few hours and it sucked.
They should release these .zip updates on their website before they do it over OTA anyway.

How were you able to do that? I am a little new to this, I have the exact same problem except my bootloader is unlocked, but it boots into stock recovery just the same, and I can't seem to get out of the bootloop. It will only boot to stock recovery, not the TWRP which i previously installed, and when it boots into recovery I just get the dead android, and the following:

Finding update package...
E:failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /sdcard/ASUS_BUNDLE.zip
E:failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /sdcard.
Installing update...
Finding update package...
E:failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory)
E:Can't Mount /sdcard/EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip
SD Installation aborted.

and my only option are reboot, wipe data, wipe cache.... any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
