Great! Def needed this.

Does anyone know if performing a factory reset/wiping deletes the data in this directory?

I cannot use ROM Manager as it says you need to install cwm and the trans is not listed. I emailed about it but have not heard back.

Cwm for the transformer is not supported by rom manager yet

That looks like the stock recovery- I think you need to flash this from a non-stock recovery. I think there is a recovery installer app in the dev forum.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] goulloux:
Hi there, I hope someone can help me :)

So I was "playing" with my transformer and decided to get back to stock ICS

Did it and was unroot and no CWM

So while I was trying to get back root and then CWM I finally manage to get it to work, but I have 2 problems now :

Each time I boot, I go to recovery (need to press volume down to get to android):

Wanted to udate CWM but I'm stuck witch ClockworkMod 3.1.0.1-solarnz-R3 230511 1902. Each time I come back to recovery I'm always in 3.1.01

Then I decided then to get back to official rom and then loose Root/CWM

But when I try to flash one (ex: 8.6.5.21 version) I got this error msg :

Installing update...

assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/blob", "staging")

E:Error in /sdcard/ww_epad-user-8.6.5.21.zip

(status 7)

Installation aborted.

Does any one have a clue about what to do ?

Thx in advance
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
The update is trying to write to the staging partition which isn't mounted in your recovery.

There are a few options- the "easiest" would be to use adb in recovery to mount the staging partition so that it can flash. I guess first check under "mounts and advanced" to make sure there isn't an option there, which just mirrors the recovery.fstab file. So if you can't mount it that way, use adb

su

mkdir /staging

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /staging

exit

now, flash you zip and it should work.

Alternatively, if adb is too scary, you could modify the updater-script in the zip file so that if flashes the blob using the /sbin/busybox to dd the blob to the staging partition.

I think there are CWM versions of the latest ICS update- I think dipje made it, but someone else is posted it. At any rate, a little searching in the development section will find it. It may or may not be the droids you are looking for.

And remember- there are bold flashers and there are old flashers, but there aren't any old, bold flashers. Know what you are flashing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] goulloux:
Thx for your answer

I've tried this one, but impossible to execute

"mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /staging"

can't recall the exact error but it was globally saying that the command is not writted correcly. Something like

"Wrong mount usage : moun [-r] [-w] [-t type] [-o] /device /something"

I do not have my transformer with me, so i can't give you the exact message, but it's someting pretty close to this.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
try "ls /" to confirm that the staging directory exists, which is the mount point for the partition.

the system partition might also be read only- you can check with "mount" command an look for a ro or rw in the line for the system.

Lastly verify that you have the correct partition. The last 3 chars are zero pee four. It does make a difference.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] goulloux:
I'll verify all this tonight, but from my understanding :

Yes it does exist because I did a mkdir /staging before the mount (and did check if created)

Since I manage to create the staging folder, it should be ok ?

I did check the path and it was ok. But well you can't be too sure, so I'll try again
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
You can also verify that the staging partition is mounted with the "mount" command

sent from my cyanogen(mod) vision
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] goulloux:
First gee one, I just want to say thx for your help :)

Now the command mount doesn't show any "mounting" on /staging

This is the exact msg I got from mounting

root@android:/ # mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /staging

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /staging

Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory

I'm just wondering, I did a 'ls -l' to see rights and this is the result

lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-03-01 12:33 sdcard -> /mnt/sdcard

drwxrwxrwx root root 2012-03-01 12:34 staging

the mount command is to create a link right ?

As shown above the sdcard directory is reconize as a link (lrwx...)

and staging as a directory (drwxr) ... since I created it myself

Is it the right way to do it ? Create the staging directory first ?

Edit1: forget what i said, link and mounting are different ... just leaving the comment for everybody general culture ^^ (guess you notices I'm no linux person :s)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
Try typing just "mount" to verify that the staging partition is mounted.

Also, depending on what binary the mount command is using, you might need "mount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmc.... /system"

sent from my cyanogen(mod) vision
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] goulloux:
Ok i did not manage to do anything with the mounting solution so I did try your second sugestion, modifiy the "updater-script"

I changed

assert(package_extract_file("blob", "/tmp/blob"), write_raw_image("/tmp/blob", "staging"),delete("/tmp/blob"));

To

assert(package_extract_file("blob", "/tmp/blob"), run_program("/sbin/busybox", "dd", "if=/tmp/blob", "of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4"),delete("/tmp/blob"));

This time, the flash did finish "properly" then I rebooted and ... once again it went directly to recovery

Reboot with volume down press, and once under android, nothing has changed, i'm still with my previous rom. Seems that the stock rom hasn't modify anything ...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
Did you see the blue line when it rebooted?

This works for me using the asus update-binary

ui_print("flashing the blob");
package_extract_file("blob", "/tmp/blob");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "dd", "if=/tmp/blob", "of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4");
delete("/tmp/blob");

You have a very peculiar transformer. The 3.1.0.1 recovery seems to have a symlink for busybox to the /sbin/recovery. I'm not sure if that would make a difference.

If you are trying to flash the full 8.6.5.21 rom, you might as well just flash it via adb in recovery. Unzip the rom until you get to the blob and copy that to your sdcard. then in adb type:

su

dd if=/sdcard/blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

reboot

If that doesn't work, then something is wrong with your tf??
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] goulloux:
would definitly try this ... but haven't find out how to get adb working in recovery :s

If I simply reboot, or use a command like "adb reboot recovery"

i can't connect with adb when I'm in recovery mode

This may have something to do with the fact that I can't mount USB under recovery ? (would make sense)

When I try to mount it I have this error message :

E: Unable to open ums lunfile (no such file or directory)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
With the dd command in my last post, you can use it from adb in the normal rom too.

but when I reboot I just as usual, go in cwm recovery (I guess instead I should have an install screen launching ?)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
It seems like it should work, although I don't understand why you are always rebooting into cwm? Perhaps there is a command stuck in cache? I thought the ota could pass commands to the bootloader to reboot to recovery though the cache partition? Try formatting cache in cwm and the reboot. This is just a guess?

sent from my cyanogen(mod) vision
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] goulloux:
"Try formatting cache in cwm and the reboot"

Formatting the cache : already Done

and the reboot ==> "and theN reboot" ? or "format the reboot" ==> then I have no clue how to do that

But if you are just talking about formating the cache, I've already tried, data/cache/dalvik

Still getting back to CWM at reboot
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
Yeah sorry- format cache then reboot. There is a way for the rom to pass commands to recovery, but I don't know too much about that. It is peculiar that you keep going to recovery.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frosty5689:
The unmodded CWM recovery will backup EVERYTHING on the internal flash, this will include any of your music and videos. So the size... is pretty much the amount of files you have on your internal flash (I don't recall seeing nandroid backup doing compression so...). This mod is quiet useful for people without a MicroSD that matches their internal flash size or don't want to backup their media. Extremely handy IMO.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] crater:
Yeah, I'm asking about nandroid with this recovery that doesn't do that, how much space will I need on my microsd?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] solarnz:
I'm not too sure on the transformer, but on my xoom each nandroid is less than 1GB.
