[Q] TF300 not booting since build.prop tweak

[Pawan90]

Tablet : TF300 wifi only
Unlocked : No
Rooted : Yes
Version : US_epad-10.6.1.27.1-20130711

Problem :
Updated to latest JB version OTA. The wifi kept disconnecting after a few minutes automatically. To fix this I tried to use the build.prop from this thread here. I used the version which said 10.4.2.9 tweaked when in fact I remembered my version was 10.6.x.x. I did make a backup of the build.prop file.

NOW THE TABLET WON'T BOOT!! IT IS STUCK ON ASUS LOGO AND I HAVE NO RECOVERY AS MY TAB IS STILL LOCKED.:crying:

What can I do with the build.prop backup file???!!

Please suggest a solution. I bought the tab in USA and live in India where they don't sell it so I'm not sure if the customer care will be able to help me out even though it's still under warranty.

Thanks in advance!!

Seems like others are having issues too. I recommend flashing a custom recovery then flashing a ROM I recommend cromi

Or you can extract the build.prop from the official blob file.

Could you please let me know how to do that? Or direct me to the right post? Cuz I can't boot up my device and while I can open the boot menu screen using volume+power keys I don't see the usb option(maybe because of the locked bootloader??). This post here isn't giving this option (to do anything with the boot menu screen) for locked bootloader. Please advise.

Thanks in advance!!

I came here from your post at my guide. Please follow these instructions to fully recover your tablet:

========= Recover /Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore with stock recovery =========

1) Download the latest firmware from Asus website
2) Extract the .zip file somewere on your desktop (the result will be another .zip file,use it for step 3)
3) Rename the extracted archive to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.ZIP" (without the " ") and upload it to a MicroSD card
4) Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use this button combination to Power ON and go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume Down and POWER togheter for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume UP before the 5 seconds expire.
At this point the device will go in recovery and should start updating your firmware .

Note: Keep in mind that Windows doesn't show the known file extensions so most users don't have to put the .ZIP extension in the filename.
