Asus TF 201 - Does not want to enter recovery mode

[nickzl69]

Dear All,

I have 2 big problems with my TF201.

First - It cannot enter the recovery mode neither from ADB via the command:

adb reboot recovery

nor via the "hold volume down and power for 3 seconds, let go of power only, then press volume up when prompted on screen"

The result that I get every time is Android lying down with a red asterisk.



Second – ADB recognizes the TF201 correctly but I cannot say the same for FASTBOOT.

When I execute the command:

adb devices

I get the following result:

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
C2OKAS026360 device

But when I try FASTBOOT as follows:

fastboot devices

or

fastboot -i 0x0b05 erase cache

for example, I get:

< waiting for device >

And that is forever.

Please, help me figure out what is wrong with my TF201.

Thank you in advance.
