[Solved]TF101 bootloop, locked, and read-only

[droidbound]

Wonders will never cease!
You're not going to believe this: I have a TF101 with KitKass 4.4.4.

Until you told me to wipe data I never wiped it, not because I didn't want to but because it never happened (ignorance, sloppiness, or whatever; I also vaguely recall seeing a screen message saying that it wouldn't be wiped and thought it had to be left alone).
Of course I had read Fedrico's guide but gave up as as soon as I saw "it requires root" - didn't know how to find out or implement this due to the bootloop.

After the first bootloop I thought EasyFlasher would handle things better, but you're right: this and my other attempts just made things worse.

So this morning I wiped cache, dalvik, data, and rebooted: BINGO (or rather KatKiss)!

Here is a screen image (I hope), don't worry if you can't read the Dutch text on it:

Attachment 8080

If you want further details, please let me know either in this forum or - if you want to try Skype - via a private message.
This has been my first foray into the world of Android "updgrades" and I still have a lot to learn if I ever have to do this again; you know I'm an Android user, not a developer.

Let me repeat what I have said before: thank you very much for your help.

Great! I thought you had said all you could do was "swipe to unlock" in TWRP. If I knew TWRP was working, this could have been solved even earlier.
No matter - all that counts is you got a working tablet.

Do me a favor, go back to the OP and edit the thead title. Put [ SOLVED ] in front of it. That'll make it easier for other members to find it.
Enjoy your KatKiss tablet!

I will gladly edit the thread title, but what's the OP?

Done.
My time to LOL; no doubt you knew Kitkass should have been KitKat in my last post. Sorry, user speak.

Best wishes.

As this is a very old post I hope you read my message to you.

hvrmln you are Dutch ?

Do you still have the knowledge at hand to do the KK install at the TF101 ?

Why do I ask ? I have a TF101G which hangs constantly since the latest android update, various system programs just stop and I even need a 3rd party filemanager to get things done.

I contacted Asus many times but they refuse almost anything and can repair (or let me send it in) at the cost of a minimal € 150,- or possibly more.

I bought the tablet in 2012 or 2013 and heva néver been able to work with it as I'd like to

Please be so kind to answer me
