Can I use nvflash to restore the recoveryblob in the zip??
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hachamacha:
Much appreciated Roach. Advanced backup is a step in the right direction, and so would be a port of either of the other recoveries.

Thanks, Hashi

Awesome Roach updates and works great, I finally got it to update with your version. Couldn't ever get it to update before you got your hands on it, much appreciated.

Thanks for this. I'm also much more a fan or Amon_Ra and TWRP but you maintaining CWM is much appreciated. It wouldn't get any updates otherwise lol

Ok noob here, at least to honeycomb,

I have ver 3.1.0.1 at the moment.

I want to flash 3.2 without losing my internal memory(i have movies and music loaded there). When I flash a new rom, does it skip over the internal memory or do i have to back it up?

TIA
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
This is a recovery image not a rom.

Still you will not lose anything when flashing a new rom or recovery as long as you don't wipe data.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zephiK:
it wont wipe your internal hd

Is there a way to install ROMs and make nandroid backups to the "real" sdcard with the actual v5.5.0.4?

I'm currently stuck in a recovery loop. I have tried wiping data/dalvik/cache, tried installing cm9,aokp and ARHD and nand backups (each seperately), but every time I try to boot, it continually goes back to recovery.

i currently cannot access recovery at all. i tried to flash CWM through rom manager and reboot to recovery manually (power + vol down), rom manager, and the quick boot. none worked and my tablet simply reboots. does anyone have an idea on what's wrong and how i can fix this? all your help is appreciated!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
Vol down plus power button, when you see words at top left you must push Vol up

within 5 seconds to get into recovery.

You could also use an app call "Transformer reboot recovery". free in Play Store

Do yourself a favor and get rid of the CWM from ROM Manager.

After flash v5... return to 3.2.0.1

I flashed and tested the v5.5.0.4 and v5.8.1.8 touch, but returned to Roach 3.2.0.1 because them work only whit internal SDcard. For me is wrong to work this way, I want pull out microSD/external to put on PC when is right for me, and the recovery must access it. Sorry.

3.2.0.1 is my good recovery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thenewguy821:
At the top of my screen it says "ClockworkMod Recovery v5.5.0.4" I cannot get the Transformer to connect via ADB while in recovery, to input the above command. I can cold boot into a ROM via holding Vol down and Power. I can get into ADB once in the ROM, I tried to input the command in ADB while in the ROM, but I still have the Recovery loop. I tried to install the v5.8.1.8 version, but since the tablet won't boot into a Rom, I cannot get the new recovery to stick. Is there a way to mount the USB while in recovery?

Now that I read this, it seems this may have been my problem... I saw an update on Android Police that the Touch recovery was out, so I tried to install it in Rom Manager as the post said ( I should know better by now). When the touch recovery said it wasn't available for the TF101, I clicked the install CWM recovery tab at the top... That is when my issues started.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] udupa82:
Dude i also dont understand new Versions of CWM, why we can't access external Micro SD... If we can not put ROMS on Micro SD we can't flash what we want right? So it beats purpose of having a CWM.... Can ROM be flashed using internal SD?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ValenteL:
May be... because it was developed to phones without microSD like the Nexus S and some tablets, there are many...

Yes You can flash all from internal SD.

See my PM
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
That's just how it is. There are version that flash from external sd only, some from both internal and external and this one internal only. Choose what's best for you.

As for this version, put files on the internal sd storage and flash from there.

Just don't use Superwipe script.:D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Fraggle_inc:
Works fine for me ....!!! Thanks guys ..!

As i'm flashing things every 2 hours I am glad to beable to save my buttons a bit ...!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Danzano:
Works great !!!

My only problems/wants

When going to view sdcard it takes awhile i understand it has to map everything out i guess but still seems a little slow there

Cache clearing and dalvik clearing seems to be slower to say the likes of the team rogue recovery etc but its new so i get that

The text is huge is it possible to shrink it slightly i read it was big but then using it i thought nobody's fingers are that big lol

I can use the back button on the keyboard to go back could we maybe get a nice fast scroll with the arrow keys if the text cant shrink?

And last of all like most people i would love to see external back and dont touch data/media at some point in the future but i know it will be awhile with how new all this is :D

Thanks again for making another cwm work without loops
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
I run touch cwm recovery on my Galaxy Nexus and the text size is of a similar proportion on that. Obviously though it's in portrait mode so you can see more lines onto the screen.

As for modifiying this it's not possible given that there's no source code available for the touch recovery. I didn't compile it and all credits goto Koush.

Also /data/media should be safe as that's a feature of CWM Recovery 4 and greater.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jgaikwad:
I currently have CWM 5.5.0.4 installed, went to install the touch version and everything appears to work, but after i reboot it loads to the same old CWM like nothing changed.

Nothing personal mate. I was having a tough day at work and had to vent.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thenewguy821:
Just an FYI for anyone having recovery loops. I had accidentally installed the CWM from ROM manager, which sent me into a recovery loop. Since I couldn't access adb while in recovery, I was stuck.

I found gee one's Stock ROM with custom CWM recovery. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23742707

When I flashed the ROM, it successfully changed the recovery and I was finally able to flash the 5.8.1.8 update. No problems since...

You are still on stock recovery, you have to flash it via CWM recovery.

Use RecoveryInstaller to flash Roach's 3.2.0.1 CWM version and after that you can flash the touch version.

I had the same but a little different problem..

After you have flash a different recovery DO NOT use the Boot into system.

Instead cold boot into the OS and use Terminal Emulator to type in the following command.

Type : su (give permission if ask, choose YES). You should get a #

Type : echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0

Type : exit

Type : reboot

Note: Hit "Enter" after each line

----This didn't work for me so I took out the exit command and it worked perfectly.. basically this

Weird huh? I tried your original instructions about 16 times the last three days and was frustrated.. tried it without and it worked the first time.

Even weirder was I flashed gee one's stock rom and recovery and that worked but just boot looped Roach's CWM repack that came with the rom. I then did my method and viola.. All good.

Hey guys awesome that a solution has been found! I may have found another one, but I have no idea if it's a permanent fix or I got lucky.

I just held volume - until it booted into the factory reset area. I let it cold boot from there and was in. Again I have no idea if this is a real fix, but I flashed the fixed CWM and will let you all know if it happens again.

Edit: So it's only a temp fix. I can boot into the OS, but if I go back to recovery it recovery boot loops again
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
if your tablet is crashed and you cannot boot into android and share internal storage as the CWM has no usb share option to pc..

then what purpose serves the 5.8.1.8 for those that actually want to recover a broken tablet????

yes, you can install adb etc and alot of stuff to utlitize this, but its really badly done and making it all alot more complex and no time saved in a recovery situation and simply just making alot more people angry selling their android tablet in favour of apple products simply because of ports and developers uses the wrong head to develop with, especially when you are looking at a "recovery" tool where internal storage only can be accessed from adb or a working android boot.

sad, but true. and its actually soooo easy to make it check external sd, so why would anyone utilize internal storage when their tablet no longer boots? very strange ways of working and waste of time.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
If you feel it's a waste of time than use a different recovery.

My point is there are plenty of choices, this is NOT the only recovery available.

You decide what's best for you and in your case you want something that read from external sd. Well there's two recovery I know that read from external sd, use one of them.

Since it's so easy to make it read from external, you should make it.:D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] philseven:
+1 Ian just going to add my 2 cents if doesn't work for you don't you it its like going to a restaurant you don't pick something that you already don't like plus people remember this is a developer forum key word develop. And try and be respectful with you're comments :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] xuser:
I think the issue here is that when it comes to a "touch recovery" for the TF101 this is the only choice as of right now. We all know that the TF101 is not very well made. In due time the hard buttons might give out. Some of us like to flash stuff. It would be nice to ease a bit of the stress off the hardware buttons by using a "touch recovery". The only issue is that you can't install/backup from external SD. Which in my opinion is the best way to actually save a safe backup and recover as well. CWM always saved backups to external SD cards in the past. Remember pre Galaxy Nexus?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] josteink:
Actually on my Galaxy S (much much before the Nexus) the default and only option was saving to the "internal SD-card". The actual SD-card which you could insert and remove was never accessible from CWM.

Now guess how much confusion that caused for the noobs :p
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Dexter_nlb:
if all the restuarants changed to chinese sticks, and you could not handle it and felt really annoyed, wouldnt you complain instead of never using restuarants anymore? it seems to be the general believe that recovery is made for internal storage, where those actually needing it for recovery and not just playtoy to switch custom roms, simply get stuck since their tablet;

1. is not booting possibly.

2. no shop is helping since the recovery changd

3. no external sdcard is found usefull as all recoveries now uses internal storage.

4. strangely no recovery seeems to share external storage in menu's to users on a pc, so they had a chance of copying backups back or make safe backups of those already on internal storage.

anyways the user here, dropped custom recoveries, installed a stock rom and sold it. no more tf101 in this case.

other platforms can do it correctly, so why would developers/modders suddenly get the urge to not make it correctly anymore, since they are in the same bad situation when a image is not booting and internal storage is empty and everything is backed up on pc. this is less easy to work with.

are some developers trying to make things harder for users? or they just want users to waste hours on copying from sdcard to internal storage?

pointless to argue since its a reality now, but what a sad evolution here on tf101.

I cant find the ext SD card...

Hi, after I flash this 5.5 recovery, I can not find the rom file which is in my ext sd card. I have already wiped previous rom, and I can do nothing with this new recovery, my tf101 keeps in the recovery screen since the pad doesn't have a rom flashed yet! Can someone help me and let me know what to do? Thanks in advance.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sidneyk:
As stated throughout this thread, this recovery does not read from the external microSD card, only from internal sdcard. You need to have the ROM file somewhere on your internal storage that won't get wiped through your particular wiping method. If you can connect to PC by hooking up usb and shut down transformer, then press volume up and power at the same time for around 5 seconds or so. The TF screen will stay black but you should hear the notification sound of Windows connecting through usb. Then you may be able to adb push the file from one downloaded to the PC to your sdcard. Then reboot to recovery and flash away.
