[help] Buying a bricked tf300

Hello guy,
I have the possiblity to buy a tf300 wich is bricked. And I would like to know if someone could tell me if it's fixable.
The guy says that he unlocked the bootloader, apparently it worked fine and the he flash a TWRP 2.6.3.0 then it went bad. He says the tablet is directly booting up into recovery (at least that's working) that TWRP says "Omb" whatever that means and that he doesn't see any files into recovery, only folders and subfolders (isn't supposed to be normal, I mean doesn't the recovery only display .zip files ??). He says volume down + power doesn't work, adb gives a " protocol failure" and fastboot is waiting for device (but I'm gessing it's normal since he can't boot into menu obviously fastboot is not working).
So what do you think is it fixable?
Thanks

the guy gave me 2 images of the recovery:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Apparently the password asked on the screenshots is here because the recovery can't mount the storage partitions. Clearly he flash the wrong recovery. He says that he can't get fastboot because he can't install driver (something I could figure out how to do ).
My last question is, will I get fastboot in this recovery, dispite the storage not mounting and the incompatibility?
if yes then I can do a "fastboot getvar all" to get bootloader version and flash the right recovery? What do you think??
thanks

that has append to me couple of times( i think 3 -4 times actually) , if you are confident you can get fastboot and ADB working should be really easy to fix. but ull have to flash ASUS blob file then start over like if it was a new tablet

Yeah I ran into that bug personally and I fixed is in less than 5 minutes with the right setup. Of course, it could be a different situation but there is the chance that it is easily fixable.

Sadly the guy allready sold it. Thank you guy for replying

You put the wrong version of TWRP on your tablet probably? when you restart and it boots into TWRP, on the starting screen you should be able to use fastboot.
---------- Post added at 04:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ----------
When it happened to me, it was a bootloader and TWRP conflict: I flashed the jb version instead of the -42 Version. to fix it, I did fastboot reboot bootloader and then got back into android and flashed the correct one from Terminal Emulator. Or you could just flash it from there.

Device is not detected when trying to flash TWRP

okay hello people.
here is my situation.
i was about to revert back to kitkat from ED300 CM12.1, and i suddenly wipe off and formatted my internal storage.
and now ofcourse i cant boot in and what i did was trying to reinstall TWRP through fastboot and minimal adb from PC.
*i tried to flash Lenovo_A6000_TWRP-3.0.2-0_x64-L_by_SevenMaxs
*i cant go into download mode (vol+,vol-,power) button.
so i went to fastboot mode (vol-,power) button until the 'powerkey long press can reboot phone' appear , and i plug in my phone to pc and when i type in command for -adb devices, no device appear.
figure out it was okay, i go ahead and proceed with - fastboot boot recovery.img command.
then it shows
FAILED (remote: dtb not found)
and im stuck there. idk what else to do, which guide to follow to bring my phone back to life.
i have did hours of searching but nothing works. really need a magic here.
thanks guys for ur time

BTW if "fastboot devices" not showing any devices then try to properly install fastboot on computer."fastboot boot twrp.img" is command for boot the twrp without flashing.
try "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" .
p.s:-Try to flash different recovery file.It may be corrupted.

Here is the possibilities:-
1)May be fastboot is not properly installed .I gave a link in the previous post for that. "device not found" that shouldn't be appear.
2)Try vol+ +power button
3)Try if stock recovery can be flashed by fastboot.Link.if can be then let me know.
4)If not then run this command in adb
Code:
adb shell
ls -al /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name
and give a screen shot.

Did you flash kitkat ROM after this or before this fuss?
If Yes, then you need to flash TWRP for kitkat firmware.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8_p5nNeW71VRFZnc3cwb2hLR28/view?usp=sharing
download the above recovery and download flashify from playstore . Flash the recovery that you downloaded from above link with flashify and reboot and in the next step you will be in the recovery

Try this

well, i think this caused by relocking bootloader after we flash a new firmware. if that happens, just go in fastboot mode by hold power button + volume down, then unlock it again using mi unlock. reboot it..your twrp is back.
no need to enter edl mode & install twrp again, btw thanks..this is helpful

don't flash official miui from twrp (you better do it in edl mode), but yes you can flash custom miui like miui eu, miuipro, multirom, epic miui etc from twrp. and..after u delete the emmc file inside the firmware which is included on every miui rom, your bootloader will be safe

Probably the problem with bootloader file

not a whole lot of talk anywhere else so i'll try here. i just got my kenzo few days ago, jumped the gun and started trying to get twrp on it. i'm assuming the bootloader was locked. As of right now it wont boot up, its in edl mode maybe... red led flashes and i can upgrade driver to 9008. sometimes its recognized by miflash and when it is and i try to flash stock fastboot it gives me an error. i know thats a lot to take in but i'm trying to cover all my bases. the phone came from overseas so sending it back isnt really an option. any help is appreciated.

I have to assume this is the case. I'm planning to buy the phone within the next month.

This recovery did not work for me. I was able to flash it and run it, but could not install any roms after formatting.
Luckily the recovery made by 7to ended up working fine

IF YOUR BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED,but you wanna try it
You can use
Code:
fastboot boot [PATH TO THE IMAGE FILE YOU DOWNLOADED]
to boot the recovery(not flash recovery)
(not sure 100% success)
Do anything on YOUR OWN RISK

Has anyone tried to flash TWRP without unlocking the Mi8? (i'll try with v3.2.3)
Can I brick my phone if I try?
Does it include a function to resize system partitions?
If I get to flash it with the bootloader locked.... Will I be able to further flash any ROM without unlocking?
Can I also flash TWRP with MiFlash?
Regards

Not Recommend to modify anything before unlock bootloader
If you just do without modify anything except /data/, it will be fine(try it without flash it)
This Recovery is for Mi8 SE(SE,NOT MI8), and THIS recovery doesnt have a function to resize system partition
you can flash mi8's twrp recovery without unlock(technically,NOT SURE 100% SUCCESS) flash it via recovery(boot the recovery ,and flash recovery in recovery )
You can flash any third party rom Until you unlock bootloader (or flash modified bootloader like this (not let you flash this))
You can flash any recovery via MiFlash(in fastboot(not sure) mode or in 9008 flash mode),it will not check your files(NOT SURE it will boot successfully)

First you use
fastboot boot [recovery file]
to boot recovery(now the phone goes into recovery)
then use the recovery(you booted) flash the recovery fileinto your phone(you selected recovery file will replace the stock one)
TECHNICALLY, it will successfully flash in and work fine(not fine for miui's ota)

Unable to boot into TWRP recovey

Hi ya'll. I have recently bought a Xiaomi Redmi note 7, and I wish to install a different ROM (Resurrection Remix). Though in order to do so I must of course flash the TWRP recovery. The flash itself seems to be successful as can be seen in the log I attached, but when I try to reboot into recovery it just enters the old default recovery of the device.
I have looked up in the internet and found some possible ways to solve the issue, which all failed. For example trying to enter with pressing power+volume up+volume down, just power+volume up or any combination possible with those buttons. Also tried to use the command
Code:
adb reboot recovery
which only works when the device is turned on and in system mode.
Tried entering with pressing power+volume up+volume down, just power+volume up or any combination possible with those buttons. I have also tried using the command
Code:
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
right after flashing the recovery, and then though to use the TWRP commandlines somehow, but i didn't really knew how actually.
All these trials failed as been said.
The most probable cause I have found for this problem was in a nother forum (can't enter the link for some reason...) stating that when I reboot into the device normally into the system, it automatically installs the old recovery mode again, over the TWRP recovery, and so I must try and enter the TWRP recovery immediately after I flashed it, before I get to reboot into system. But the thing is that when I try to do so, pressing any button combination that is supposed to get me into recovery, just boots the device into bootloader again. Any other combination just reboots into system. So it is possible to get into recovery only when I turn of the device completely, and then try and enter reboot. Though in order to turn it of I must reboot into system first.
So that's my story guys, really hope someone can help me cause the MIUI ROM is just horrible.
Thanks and have a nice one

Well I'm not sure if I understood what you meant, but this is what I tried
Again with no success...
Using the "boot" command didn't change anything visual in the device. Also the command is "adb reboot recovery" and not "fastboot reboot recovery" as you can see in the log.
Still thank you very much for your attempts to help

And fastboot boot recovery.img and the flash the recovery.zip don't work?
Normally ur phone boot the recovery.img without flashing...
Which recovery?
I flashed orangefox

I am note sure what is orangefox, but it seems that I still need to get into the TWRP recovery mode in order to install it.
If you mean to ask which version of TWRP I am using, then I tried a few different versions, including the latest.
As for using the boot first and then flashing the recovery (I guess you meant the "recovery.img" file) that too didn't work, and still goes into fastboot instead of recovery.
But now actually when I tried using the latest TWRP version, and then the "fastboot boot recovery.img" it finally gave me some failure message, though only after I flashed the recovery. This you can see in the attached log.
Thank you very much.

Yup and now I'm stuck in fastboot loop...

Violet? We're here in lavender forum

I'm a big fan :victory:

Yes guys the problem with this specific TWRP version was that it was for violet, though the original problem was still with a lavender version (yes my device is a lavender).
Though I managed to solve the problem eventually, even though I'm not really sure how. I think it is because I flashed a different "boot.img" file.
Since I accidentally used "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" instead of "fastboot boot recovery.img", I erased the device "boot into system" (I think so), then I flashed an original "boot.img" taken from the MIUI stock ROM using "fastboot flash boot boot.img". I'm not sure why, but after that the original TWRP I used finally stuck, and I could get into the TWRP recovery mode normally (using power+volume up).
My opinion is that the original "boot.img" file I had, somehow interrupted flash the TWRP, but IDK.
Anyway thanks very much for the help!!! Have a nice one.

I have the exact same issue with violet. I am stuck in an infinite fastboot loop. Can you remember the order of the commands?
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot format userdata
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then when I press POWER+VOLUME UP it takes me back into the damn fastboot. Damn Chinese PoS

Your devices are lavender here recovey for them https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261697967

Don't reboot after flashing the recovery in fastboot. Hold the recovery button on your phone

I've solved this in this way:
1. Boot to Fastboot
2. Flash the TWRP "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
3. Boot to TWRP through ".img" file "fastboot boot twrp.img"
4. In TWRP interface selected "Reboot -> Recovery"

damn

I have the same problem I'm using a pine (Redmi 7a) phone and god damn that make me angry a friend some how I think he wanned to change rom and it bricked it I mean the firmware is still there but the phone doesn't have ROM neither not a custom recovery all is FASTBOOT the recovery and the bootloader is FASTBOOT and so I tried to flash TWRP the CMD says all is ok flashed and its not ****ING boot to TWRP it boots to FASTBOOT again, any idea how to fix that?

Hello.
I need help, please.
I have a Redmi Note 7 and I tried to install android 13 on it using TWRP, however I made a mistake and using TWRP I ended up formatting the entire smpartphone. I can no longer use Mi-Recovery 3.0 or enter TWRP, because when I click volume up and power nothing happens and the cell phone just starts, because I managed to install its original android using Miflash.
How can I restore or install recovery mode with mi-recovery 3.0 and thus be able to install the newest versions of android?
I also wanted to know if I can install android 13 or others that were not official for my device without TWRP, mi-recovery mode or another that depends on the commands described above, which are not working.
Thanks for the help.
