[anthraxx90]

Hi, need help with my tf300t, i was on latest cyanogenmod and twrp, after install rom manager i install cwm recovery for have autupdate and installation with cm10, after reboot to recovery it take me at twrp recovery, i reboot system and reboot again in recovery and now i'm stuck at asus logo, what can i do?

Do I understand you used rom manager to install cwm? If so you just flashed TF201 recovery ( cwm ) onto a TF300 unit.
Use this link as it was made just for this situation.

can't access to recovery

 

[tobdaryl]

can't access to recovery

I'll have to think a little about this problem. No recovery, no boot, no bootloader menu, correct?
While stuck on Asus logo try fastboot devices and adb devices, report.

can't access to flash menu just asus logo and unlock bootloader on the top left of the screen.

Humor me!
Example:
I can run "adb logcat" and get logs long before unit completely boots or leaves the screen you are stuck on. Force power off by holding power till screen goes black power on, give one of the commands I gave above,. Do the same and try the other command. Report. You are pretty well trapped and we are looking for any way to process one command by adb or fastboot.
If neither of the above works we have a couple more option. but they will be handled much the same.

In looking at our posts I don't believe we are communicating very well.
Maybe someone else can come in and help you better.
Anyone?

2 days ago i send my tf300 to asus but they called me this morning and ask for 150€ for repair (they told me: the flash memory must be change), i haven't this money, i take tablet to home this afternoon, there is a way to solve the problem by me without asus support? need help :crying:

Edit:I went to the center asus, and I taked my asus tablet, they told me that asus did that price (150€, i not accept that price and i take my tab to home), and that there may be a cable (I doubt it) that has the ability to connect your tablet to your PC even if bricked.
the tablet now is currently charging because battery is too low to poweron.
i hope you might help me. I'm desperate
The pc didn't recognize it in any way, try vol+ and power , vol- and power but nothing, can't access to flash menu and pc didn't recognize. how can i do?

If you have cord plugged between pc and tablet and both powered on do you get anything if you use command ( adb devices )? I'm not talking about trying to get into any menu or using volume or anything else.
Just connect the cord between pc and tablet and give command.

You may have already done this but I'm not sure and it would be nice to know the message if the command fails!

What i must do exactly?

connect powered tablet to pc and in terminal type - adb devices - tell me what response you get from command.
It may not work but is worth a try before you go farther.
If you have not set your path for adb you will need to cd into proper directory with terminal first before sending command. I can't even guess because I don't know your OS but since you had cwm you have used the terninal - Windows = cmd or command.com

I use windows 8

(on my pc in programs file i've an asus folder with driver usb)



ok i've done it http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=1vptd&s=6
but no device are listed under: list of devices attached

This shows us you are in your home directory and your os does not know where adb is located. You probably used fastboot to flash cwm to your tablet. Fastboot and adb are normally in the same directory and you need to cd to that directory as you did when you flashed cwm.
If you don't know where that is located you can search for adb or fastboot.

Sorry I don't have windows, I'm using Ubuntu on a mac (I don't even use mac but have it on an external drive if needed). We can figure it out if we are both patient.
So if the above does not give needed results tell me and we'll adjust.

 

[anthraxx90]

Ok i've tried fastboot and adb but fastboot tell me:wait for device and adb devices can't recognize tablet, there are no device under the list of connected device.
I've tried fastboot reboot and adb reboot to test if the device was connected but nothing happened.

One step down. If you have tf300t on left side about one inch - 25.4 mm below sdcard there is a small hole (reset). With cord still plugged between pc and tablet, power on tablet and use a small paperclip to insert gently into hole. As you insert you will feel it stop, gently push slightly farther and you will feel a little spring.
This will cause your unit to restart and if we are lucky there will be a change in what happens with commands (adb - fastboot) and or what is displayed on the screen.

i've done the reset, but nothing change with adb and fastboot

Only two things left that I know about. You previously listed a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766227 that might possibly work but at the position we are in currently if it doesn't work we won't know the difference and the drivers already on your pc that are known to work will be replaced so.
1.
I have seen a post somewhere that the case was removed and the battery disconnected and then reconnected and that allowed access to the bootloader menu by holding down volume while reconnecting the battery.
2.
Try the drivers listed above.

I don't like either choice but with no adb or fastboot access, no recovery, and no bootloader menu we are pretty well trapped.

Just thought of something I have read twice recently. Even though fastboot appears to not work give it the command two or three times. I think I would try this first. Since a stock blob contains rom and recovery I would try to flash stock 10.4.2.13 blob.

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
wait here because this is a big file
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

You would unzip stock 10.4.2.13 twice to get the blob. Place the blob into the directory where you found fastboot.

Does windows device manager sees any kind of a transformer device?
If yes try to install the drivers by hand.
right klick on the device
choose update driver software
choose search manually on computer
next window choose from a list on computer (the one at the buttom of the window)
Then you will get a 2sided window
right side you have the company names
left side you have the model type
if you have something like asus ther on the right side choose it
then on the left side choose Asus android ADB device (!!!! not the one with Composite)
then klick on next
if a window pops up saying something like its not recommended just hit yes and install it anyway.

Translatet it from German, so I hope the translation is correct. Just follow the steps and you will know what I mean.
