Something seems off here. Why hasn't the OP mentioned whether or not this was done with or without an unlocked bootloader? I say off, because clearly talk of the town is revolving around how long it is taking to root .21. Balls in your court OP....S/N 10 points to whoever swears on their mothers grave that this works with locked, .21 no root prime. 20 pts if the OP responds first.

Sorry for the late reply!

Yes this does have an unlocked bootloader pulled from my tf201 but I do not know if this can be used to flash over a locked bootloader.

No this will not be able to root .21 but it can install CWM recovery, which would allow you to flash a rooted .21 rom.....

Currently working on a new WSG_Unbricker... Hope to have it out this afternoon... Currently 7:09 AM EST.

So this should allow me to get back to stock even with a locked bootloader & root?

Will I be a be to flash original asus .blob files again and get official updates?

Thanks!

First post isnt really clear on what the requirements are to use this, but to use fastboot, you have to be unlocked. You know what means right? Basic knowledge around here.

Meant UNlocked, sorry, typo.

So can I get back to stock with this?

blobs have to be signed, as it says on the op, although i dont know if you can use an official asus blob.

Hey guys,

I'm running into a CWM loop brick as well.

I'm not a stranger to flashing ROMs or Kernels in the past, as I've done it frequently on my SGS1.

But, after following directions on how to install AOKP for TF201, I ran into a CWM bootloop. Rooted the device, unlocked the bootloader, installed CWM, then installed the ROM. Tried to boot and was stuck in a loop.

I could not restore my back up that was created prior to the installation and cannot install another ROM.

I've tried going through most of the unbrick methods with no avail.

I can get into fastboot, Windows recognizes the device and tries to install a driver, mind you I'm using the naked drivers. But, in ADB the device is unknown when I do an adb get-state.

I have a sinking feeling that I'm doomed, but I'm just curious if anyone else has been here.

I just find it odd that Windows can still recognize the device, but ADB doesn't. When I go into CWM, Windows does not recognize the device at all and I have the same unknown state in ADB.

I've tried the WSG Unbricker and since the adb state is unknown, it can't push the files over.

I'm hoping for a reason to hope haha, but I think I'm done for. Just looking for confirmation.

Thank you.

Thank you.

The reason you can't use WSG Unbricker is that you have to be in fastboot mode not ADB, if you are stuck in recovery loop then you cannot get into fastboot. It may be worth trying to install the modded CWM by Roach, but I honestly don't know if that will help.

Also, would be helpful to know which CWM you installed, as the original unofficial one for the Prime had major issues.

I would install the Roach modded version of CWM and then reinstall the ROM, hopefully that might boot you out and into a normal boot process. Possibly worth trying to install Motley's kernel as this will invoke the staging partition to be booted.

Hopefully something here might work.

Update: I'm able to push the recovery image from WSG to my tablet, but I can't get back into it now. If I try to push any other files I get an error:
sending boot...
writing 'boot'
FAILED (remote: (BadParameter))
finished. total time: 0.873s
On my TFP it says: Failed to process command flash:boot error(0x4)

I basically get an error using fastboot to push anything other than the recovery.

Thanks for the reply, Doktaphex.

p.s. I think I was a bit confused between ADB and fastboot, as I've never really used fastboot before. But, likewise I can push recovery... can't get into it. Can't push other files without some type of an error. Even when I flash the recovery and it goes through successfully I cannot get into the recovery. It's the recovery that came with WSG, do you think I should find another recovery.img file to try?

Basically the screen I get stuck at when booting normally is the EEE Pad screen. I don't get any errors. At the top left hand corner it just says "The Device is UnLocked."

Probably should have mentioned that before.

Yikes, looks like you may be in the same situation as BoyNamedStacey. Unfortunately he and Jermaine came to the conclusion that the device is a goner until NVFlash becomes available.

That Boot error (0x4) does not look promising either. I can't really offer anything further, sorry dude.

That was my thought, sadly. Guess I was just looking for confirmation.

Thanks again for the input.

I still didn't get my answer. Can we flash official Asus .blob files with this tool?

I would advise against it. No idea if it would work or not but if you do expect a brick!

Unfortunately, I'm also getting the (0x4) error for the system and bootloader partitions. I managed to get boot.img and recovery to flash without this error, however. Is the system image that comes with WSGUnbricker supposed to be over 524mb? I only ask because even the system folder in WSG 0.0.6 is only just over 300 megs.

Considering that when I do a backup of AOKP my system image is ~243MB I would suggest that a stock ASUS system image could easily be ~524MB.

The reason I say this is due to the amount of ASUS system/apps that are included.

If only ASUS released full source like Samsung have done, then we would be in a much happier boat.

Before anyone jumps in saying Samsung own their SoC and ASUS are only borrowing nVidia's, I don't care. Not a viable excuse in my mind.

I happen to agree with Adam Outler that if you are making SoC's for an open source OS, your SoC should also be as openly documented as possible.

Metal brick turns soft?

I originally sent this as a PM to a couple of dev's but I was told I should post
as it may be interesting to the public. Here goes...

I had a small miracle happen today when my prime bricked and i was getting low on battery and desperate.

It bricked on me so hard that i could not get into recovery or fastboot. When I tried recovery it just said "Booting recovery kernel image" but nothing happened.

Trying to boot into fastboot did nothing, it just booted to splash screen again. Then, as I said i feared for battery life and put the prime in the dock (due to a faulty charger i can only charge through dock). Just for fun I tried both again, and what do you know, I got into fastboot.

I was trying to flash eos-rom (freeze at splash screen), push updated cwm through adb as advised, flashed updated cwm in recovery, reboot and BRICK.

Now I'm downloading WSG tool and humbly asking what steps you recommend, easiest way out is preferred as nerves are getting thin. I don't care what
rom, kernel or recovery I end up with, I just want to see it boot!

Thanks guys

Happy to announce that I am now unBricked, was able to get into fastboot and flash CWM image and AOKP boot image. I am finally on EOS and life is grand.

Actually never got the WSG-tool to work, kept getting a boot error (0x4) with everything that flashed both manual and auto. Nothing happened. But definately keeping it for a rainy day.

In this prosess of doing this I have PM'ed incredibly helpful dev's and spent hours upon hours searching and reading threads. There is no substitute for this as you pick up things you didn't know you needed all the time. Learned alot and the next time this happens I hopefully wont have that tingeling feeling in the left arm that happens just before heart attacks!

Thanks

I had this issue with WSG but not when I flashed them manually through fastboot, there's a solution by Swiftks (whom have been properly thanked of course) in the last post of this thread.

Also found another good one while googling that had the files I needed. This should UnBrick most in no time!
