Tf300 keeps rebooting - Transformer TF300T General

Turned off the tablet off yesterday, and today when i press the power button i starts up, but gives me the same 3 line menu you get when you want to turn it off, or flightmode, or silent, and then turns off by it self.
What can i do?
Is there any menu you can go into to reboot, or set it back to factory settings? Like on rooted phones, volumebutton and power button?
The tablet is stock, not rooted, or unlocked.

Whilst turning on the button, during the initial Asus screen, hold the volume down button. You can do a factory reset from there

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

The power button may be stuck, physically.

Its the latest firmware, and im not able to turn it on,

How do i do a cold boot on this tf300, I used to do it on my tf201, but is it the little hole on the top of the tablet on this one?

To do a cold boot, do what I mentioned above but don't press anything after holding the volume button down and getting into the bootloader menu (if that's what it's called?)

Keep pressed power button and volume down in the same time till it cold reset itself. It will start and give you some options but just wait to do its reeboting.

Safe Mode

I just stumbled upon a 'safe mode' that our Atrix can be booted into, I believe its similar to windows safe mode, as in it only loads essential system files.
To do this, power off your Atrix, and press the power button to turn it on. Once the boot ANIMATION starts, immediately press and HOLD the vol up + vol down buttons until you get a long vibe, then release. you'll then see 'safe mode' at the lower left of the screen when the lockscreen comes up.
Im sure this could be of some use... for something. Just unsure exactly what this could be useful for at this point.
Is the data working? Can you make phone calls? I didn't try it yet.

I'm sure there are more than this, but I've heard safe mode mainly being used by people who get the force close of death loop (aka force close loop that never ends, even when restarting). This way in safe mode you can try to do something about the app causing the trouble.
like delete it?
Safe Mode FTW! Thank you! Thank you!
I was in a force-close loop after a launcher update and this was the solution.
XDA comes through again!!!
Thank you so much!
Someone should compile all the button configurations into a thread or something like that?

First time I found out about safe mode, it was when I was booting my Galaxy Note and at same time rubbing it against my trousers to wipe the screen clean. In GNote, during the boot animation the Menu key has to be tapped several times, no wonder the rubbing did the trick.
It is good to know now when it would be useful.

Concerns about flashing ROMs - what happens if bootloop?

Sorry stupid question but the only thing I am concerned about ist the unremoveable battery.. what happens if you get an bootloop after flashing a ROM? Is there something like a reset button? do I have to use a screwdriver? Do I have to wait till battery drains completely?

If it bootloops you wipe and reflash!
Try holding the power button on your Nexus 7. I hope that answer your question.

Sorry i meant hanging on boot I had this the other day with my Nexus S.. The only solution was to remove the battery..
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
The One X has a function where holding the power button for 10 seconds or so performs a reboot. I'd imagine a similar system will be in place here

He asks how can he get back to the recovery.
I think long press on the power, anyway, you can use adb
Hold the power button to reboot, once the screen goes off, hold the volume keys and it will boot recovery/bootloader.
You can still input ADB commands during a bootloop, just type "adb reboot recovery" and you should be fine.
Hold down power button for 10 seconds, google thinks about the hacking community when it makes irremovable batteries.
Then 3 button combo into bootloader then choose recovery.
*if its anything like Nexus 7's bootloader*
Thanks a lot too all of us.. sometimes a solution can be so easy Tried that thing with holding before but I think I held the button not long enough..

Boot Failed, No Command, No ABD

My wife turned on her N7 this morning and it wouldn't boot. Instead there is the droid guy with red triangle saying no command.
Can't use WUG since ADB returns no devices. Tried several computers but none see the device. Unplugged the battery but still the same issue.
Appreciate your help

Turn off the device(Hold the power button for about 10sec) if it's on. Now hold all three hardware buttons(Power, volume UO & Down) togather till the google logo shows up, and this will tur your device on into fastboot mode. Now you should be able to to find your devece from your PC(if driver installed). If you ment "Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit" by "WUG" than you probably want to use Flash stock + Unroot (Can't boot up).

Thanks I tried this. When I try to turn it off it immediately reboots. Tried holding the 3 buttons when this occurs, but the result is still the dead droid with no command under it. The screen where you can select reboot recovery, bootloader never comes up. Confirmed fastboot isn't working.
Any other ideas?

Even if you just tap the volume button on the Google screen? It should have the same result normally, but something is funky.

Something is really funky. I did the same exercise with another N7 and got into bootloader with no issues
Think it's worth letting the battery die and start over? Grasping at straws

Perhaps, just be aware that running the battery all the way down can also cause booting issues.

Home button issues

hi guys. today my galaxy s4 suddenly rebooted and now it cant get past the galaxy s4 screen on boot. it automaticly gets into this screen for several seconds, then a black screen and then again. also, when i put in the battery it automaticly starts, and gets in this loop.
i searched the forum a little and i suspect it is somthing with the home button. do i need to replace the whole display to fix thix? or what should i do.
And some important infomation, my home button is a little bent for the last 5 months, but so far it had no problems.
Have you tried to start recovery or download?
Remove the battery, wait half a minute, reinsert the battery and push at the same time Vol Up+Home+Power keys.
If that works you may wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache and maybe it will boot normally again.

power button or home button..? power button looks fine but home is bent and not working for a while.
I agree with @DeepankarS. Seems your power button is stuck.
If so it is a good reason to have the bootloop. Please double check it.

there is a huge difference mate in being okay and looking okay
Thus is not the first kinda problem..the download mode rebooting is directly liked to it..because the download mode will never reboot without the power button being pressed (exceptions ignored)
Try tapping it on a flat surface too...not hard..but ya..
Or search..how people released the stuck power buttons here..

6t bricked - ive tried everything. help?

I think I have completely bricked my 6t and i am not sure if there is anything left to try.
This is my last hope.
Phone has 2 states at the moment. Either boots into a screen that says qualcomm crashdump mode attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000000b complete_and_exit and the dead android no command screen. I cannot shut it off, and the computer even tho it has the drivers of the phone installed, sees it in device manager as qualcomm usb diagnostics or something but that is about it.
I have tried using commands but the phone isnt recognized as connected. I tried MSM tool but it also doesn't see the phone.
Therefore what I'm left with is a phone that doesn't boot in any usable interface, and also the phone isnt recognized by pc. My understanding is that it's dead but if there is anything I can try please let me know.
Thanks!
If you have Qualcomm Snapdragon processor tool with OxygenOS that you're looking for (whatever's going to be is up to you, there are two flavor of OxygenOS recovery images, by the way), all you have to do is to make sure that the phone is totally off, then hold down Volume Down button without powering on the phone, and plug it into the computer, you will get QUSBLOADER message in the device manager then launch the tool after the driver is installed.
That's really much it but beware, you will lose the data, unless someone else know how it really works can advise you on how to skip the /data wipe - the phone will protest due to dirty flashing, of course.
I have bricked this phone three times. LOL Third time's always a charm to me. At least it's hard to really brick it as long as you have the right tools.

The problem is the phone is stuck on rebooting and it never shuts off no matter how much ive tried. I dont care about files or anything like that I just wanna be able to fix my phone. I was trying to format it back to stock OS anyways so ..
Did you hold down the power button and volume down button for a while? It basically force it to power off immediately (just like with the PC, only the function is a bit different). Once it shuts off hard, let go of the keys immediately so you don't accidentally turn it right back on.

yes. I have tried vol up + pwr, vol down + pwr, pwr, vol up + down and nothing. all reboots or just no response.
Strange. I will try to figure out as it's also supposed to be built in the bootloader (I am already familiar with how the Snapdragon processor bootloader works). This is definitely strange and should not be expected.

Well maybe I did something that messed with it?
Currently the phone is responsive to buttons I press and such it's not 100% dead. But also it doesn't have anywhere to boot it seems. So it's stuck on this qualcomm crash dumb screen thing. And also while that is a thing, I can't access it from my computer to flash things on / in it... sooooooo
edit: I also did search on how to force shut off and I seemed to only find force reboot combos and no force shutdown for the 6t.
Qualcomm crash dump? I will take a look at how to get it to stop and drop to EDL (emergency download).

You might have using it wrong he said try pwr+vol up can you boot to fastboot?
Try to hold both volume buttons to force it to boot into Fastboot mode, it should work when the phone freaks out and reboot.

Okay let me be a bit more descriptive so that it makes more sense:
Holding vol down + pwr until screen goes black then release: 1 sec of one plus logo, screen of "bootloader is unlocked" notice, black screen for a sec, flash and crashdump mode forever.
Holding power button until screen is black reboots and goes back to the above ^
Holding pwr + vol up until vibration: gives me the above ^
There was a combo that gave me the no command dead android screen but I'm not sure what it was now.

Try hold both volume buttons at the same times before it reboots, and not pushing the power button (you don't have to), and keep holding them down until it vibrate and the bootloader indicating Fastboot Mode, then let go of the volume buttons.
