prime died please help

**spectre1006** · 10-14-2012, 02:17 PM

So i rebooted my prime after charging it. (guess the kids killed the battery) and it was stuck in on the asus screen with the dots going in a circle. Is there a way to flash to stock and root again? Thanks for your help.

So you were rooted? What exactly did you do while rooted? Did you have either Superuser or SuperSU installed? Did you flash anything?

i was rooted but nothing else.... i used voodoo root keeper to keep root through the updates.... i had superuser installed... kept with stock rom since updates were pretty good with asus.

edit: i saw this fix on xda: but i dont know how to find my sku on the asus site without having the device booted and my tab is bricked at the moment.... plus now it wont even boot up...

Have you tried booting into recovery?

Sounds like a brick. Maybe you should don't try that Xda there's or send it back to Asus

Have you tried the little hole below the sdcard... its the reset button. While your prime is trying to boot, hit the reset.

You mean nothing is on the screen at all after trying to power it on? But, you can see something when charging? If so, at least you know the screen isn't the problem. Have you tried holding the power button for 30 seconds?

I'm pretty sure that's a microphone...

Try reading the little users manual... that little hope under the sdcard slot is labled #6.. reset button.

Thanks for the correction. If I had been at home I would have indeed looked it up.
