With your device powered off, push and hold volume down and then push and hold the power button at the same time until the screen powers on, then release both buttons.

In the top left corner, it should say something about RCK, at this point just press volume up. You have 5 seconds to push volume up from the time the screen powers on. This should apparently bring you into the stock recovery I guess.

Having trouble finding info on what exactly this is supposed to show.

This is what mine displays upon pressing volume up, and I don't know if this is normal:

If yours shows this, just hold the power button until the TF powers off, then start it up again as you normally would.

If anyone could do this and tell me what yours shows I'd greatly appreciate it, think I'm going to have to send my TF in for warranty service and I'm trying to make sure it's 100% unrooted and operating as a stock unit.

you have to hold down the button for longer.
if that doesnt work, push stock recovery onto it by adb

Hold down what button for longer?


I just have no idea how the stock recovery looks.
If I press nothing within the 5 seconds, it takes me to another screen where it gives me the option to wipe data or has an Android icon that will cold boot the TF.

Is this the stock recovery?

I flashed stock recovery from CWM before flashing an official Asus rom, which removed my root access.

I'm going to stop by a Best Buy on the way home from work and see what theirs does. Already called and got an RMA# from Asus last night.
