    Default Hard brick on Transformer TF300T ??

    Dear transformers,

    My Transformer TF300T is a brick !!

    I've got TF300T, with stock JB 4.1.1.

    I'm not sure if it permanent, please help !!

    I've unlocked my device via the official Asus unlock device tool.

    It went well.

    After few days, I've downloaded few programs from the "Google Play".

    One of the programs, allowed to automatically enter recovery after reboot.

    I opened the program (of course I don't remember it name), click on "enter recovery after reboot", and then the problem started !

    Please see attached screenshot.

    The device is stuck on the Asus logo, without any progress.

    When I'm trying to enter the recovery menu, with "Power + Volume Down", the device turning of for 3 seconds, and getting back to the exact same position.

    I cannot choose "RCK", no Android, no USB option, nothing !!

    What you see in the screenshot, is the permanent condition...

    When the Transformer worked, my computer recognize it, but now when it stuck on the Asus logo, it seems that the computer even doesn't see the device !! (although the driver is installed...)

    How bad is it ??

    It is a hard brick ??

    Can I do anything without RMA it to Asus ??

    The only this I got for now, is APX mode...

    I'm pretty sure that Asus won't support the device, because I've unlocked it

    Please help !!

    Thanks a lot !

    Transformist.

    Check the TF300 forums. This is the for the 101, not the 300 (Unless I'm chocolate wasted and incorrect...)

    Anyway, go there. Someone may be able to help you. I personally cannot, as I haven't unlocked yet.

    Hard brick: When you need a JTAG to even get the device to turn on. Hard brick is when you can't power on the device, charge it, or anything, It's just chips and cool looking hardware.

    Soft brick: able to turn on, but not able to access the OS, bootloops, or the occasional SOD's (Screen Of Death, although I guess it wouldn't be counted as a soft brick...)

    Long story short, there may be help for you on XDA, I was reading a few weeks ago about being able to unbrick the device. Look around, see what you can find if you can't get it fixed because ASUS rejects it or something.

    I read the TOS for the official bootloader unlocking app for the TF300T, and they literally have the right to reject your device, just because you unlocked it. It's a cruel game ASUS plays, but alas, they made a great tablet in my opinion.
