Some tiny Problem

Hey

OK, have some tiny problem, after trying to flash ICS 4 on my Asus

i wiped the system, then i installed the new recovery, but here where my problems beging, my new ROM seats in the external SD, and I can't access it from the 5.5.0.4 recovery

So now I have a new recovery, No excess to my SD card and no system on the Asus

Any solutions, how to revert back to old CWM or even better to get access to the SD so I can install my ROM

Second option, is there a way i can access the internal storage (Using a Mac) that I can copy the new ROM to it.

Any advise will be appreciative
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
You'll have to use adb to push your rom to the internal sd. Or you could use adb to push the old recovery and flash it through the staging partition, if it is in blob format.

Adb works on macs too- and much better than on windows. There should be some guides here and on the internet.

That is a good thread if you got boned on the external storage and have no recoveries.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] number16:
I am stuck in the same situation ... can you give some pointers on exactly how to push file to internal via adb?

Thanks in advance!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gallico916:
adb command

Hey

I know how to use the adb, the question is where to push it so it will be on the internal memory,

path example will be great.

Sorry for the crazy questions, I'm not a unix guy, I lean on the go and by reading this forum, so your help is really appreciated.

Hi I havent used adb shell in ages so bare with me,

I just rooted my B70 SN pad and flashed the recovery and i am stuck boot looping. Now i know you can boot into android with the power/- hold.

1. So i start off by flashing the recovery

2. When i try to run the script while in recovery, I cant find the device when i use adb devices

3. If I use adb devices when i am in Android OS and not in recovery i see the device

what gives i dont get it
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
Try pushing it to data/media

ie. adb push yourfilename /data/media
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gallico916:

You are my king for today, manage to install another rom

from here easy to go, thank you very much, and for every one that helped.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] number16:
I need some more help guys :(

I have ADB setup on my PC, and I know it's working because it works with my other phones.

However, when I plug in my TF101, first of all Windows cannot locate driver. I already installed the Asus suite and re-installed USB driver, but even when I point windows at the USB driver that I just downloaded from Asus' site it says the drivers are not compatible with the device ????

Is it because TF101 is in CWM mode and not normal boot mode?

Because I cannot install the driver, I cannot see the device from ADB.

When I go "ADB devices" or "ADB USB" it doesn't see my TF101 (but sees my Android phone no problem, can enter shell mode easily too)

And because I can't get ADB to work, I can't push anything on to my TF101. Meanwhile I've already erased the system on my TF101 I can't boot into it at all.

Any help? How can I get ADB to work when my TF101 is in CWM mode?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] stealthl:
This should work for you. Just follow the instructions then you can update after you get the tf going again.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] number16:
Thanks a lot!! After almost half a day of being off-line and scrambling, I NVflashed and then restored so I'm back to where I was.

Phew!

I know, I know, it was my fault for not reading through the entire thread before flashing ... but I'd highly recommend placing a warning in the title and heading of this thread ...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] stealthl:
Glad that worked for you. I did the same thing a few days ago
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] effezie:
I sure do hate to ask this but can anyone help me with how to push a recovery zip file using adb? I've searched for quite a while now and can't find how in terms I can undrestand and get it to work. I tried to flash a new ROM earlier using the newest recovery and formatted the system and it stuck on the Asus Eee Pad screen and that's it. Adb works as it reads the device but I can't get into recovery. It just reboots to that screen. Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
Vol down plus power button till you see words at top left corner, immediately push Vol up within 5 sec to get you into recovery.

If you can still get into recovery that way you can use adb to push a file to internal sd

adb push yourfilename data/media (or a another location that cwm can read)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] effezie:
Well, I guess I've done stupider things but can't think of any right now. I've been trying to get into recovery and because it didn't boot into recovery from the advanced section of CWM I figured it wasn't reading the recovery because of internal/external SD switching.

Been flashing ROM's quite a bit for the last few weeks while my prime is RMA and getting ahead of myself I guess.

Thanks for the humbling answer to my situation.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] David 617:
HELP!!! im in recovery w/ latest version and i cant figure out how to mount the micro sd card. all my zips (rom/gapps) are on the sd. how can i mount it and install from there?

thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ^Fs:
You can't.

You can adb push whatever file you want to the internal though (see 3 posts up)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] number16:
This recovery ONLY READS INTERNAL MEMORY.

I found out the hard way.

I think it should be a warning in the title ...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
There is a warning- ie flash at your own risk

Even though this recovery has been tested by me, I won't be responsible for any loss of data or any damages done by using it.

Also, you can mount the external sd card as /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 through adb. I haven't tried mounting it over /sdcard, but it might work. Otherwise, you can mount it someplace else and copy your files over internally or push them as stated above.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] chadcspencer:
Dude life saver!!! I'm at least back into my AOS. Now to figure out how to make sure this doesn't happen every time I go into Recovery.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
There is a troubleshooting thread in the general section for cwm 5.5.0.4, but the same issue applies for the recovery bootloops. The fix is in the thread.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] ViViDboarder:
So, couple things.

Having trouble booting into CWM lately. Since I flashed my ICS ROM. So I'm guessing I wiped out my CWM install. Can I just extract the img and DD it to a partition through adb and reboot? I can remember what /dev recovery lives on.

Next, as of what version does CWM not read the external card?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
3.2.0.1 reads the external sdcard, 3.1x and 5.5.0.4 read the internal.

I'm not sure you can flash directly to the recovery, but you can flash a recovery blob to the staging partition on /dev/block/mmcblk0p4. It will then flash it to the recovery on reboot. I think roach's zipped version has the proper blob inside.

Happy flashing!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] devdude:
This worked for me after I FINALLY got ADB to work with my Transformer ( had to install the 'ADB Test Interface' driver to get it to work). Also figured I must be SBK2 since nvflash just wasn't gonne co-operate. Battling a brick for 3+ days....Thanks again!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] alberteske:
Pay Attention

If you miss the ROM update, your device will be stocked! as you will not have access to SD internal memory.

You will need to NVflash to recover the tablet or have to available ROMs to flash :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] PatrickVogeli:
I find this CWM highly inconvenient and problematic. With the others I've tried (Roach 3.2 and Rogue 1.3) as long as you had a micro sd card and access to CWM you were fine. With this one, if you hapen to wipe data or have no ROM in the internal memory, you're in trouble. Sure, if you have a NVFLASH version, then it's no big issue, and probably with B80+ ones it can be solved (adb maybe?) but this all makes it more problematic..

I had good luck and, even if I had no ROM in internal SD, I had Rogue's recovery there, so flashed that one again and back to micro SD.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
I keep a copy of my 3.2.0.1 in /data/media and a copy of 5.5.0.4 on my MicroSD card. That way no matter which recovery I am in I can quickly flash the other one to switch between Internal or External storage.

That said I'm starting to come round to the idea of having both locations available fom the one recovery as I had to NVFlash last night after getting an OC wrong and corrupting my /data partition leaving me with CWM 5.5.0.4 and no zips available to install. :) Also 5.5.0.4 is way faster to use and install zips imo.

Inconvenient yes... Problematic no. It does exactly what it says on the tin.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jhanford:
I think adding the ability to pull from either, in the way Team Rogue's Recovery does, would be the best approach. That way the "inconvenience" is left to the device owner making sure they have what they need, where they need it.

Playing around with the various current ROMs (AOKP, CM9, etc.) has included an otherwise pointless step of copying from MicroSD to /mnt/sdcard (I download on a PC and copy to the MicroSD first).
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] blackfoot:
no no no NO!

Hi Roach,

Have been using your 3.2.0.1 for a while and happy with it (although I am no ROMaholic, so it gets used infrequently).

I installed your 5.5.0.4 so that I could try out one of the AOKP nightlies with AROMA, did a SuperWipe and then found out there was only access to the internal /SDCARD, after some messing about + some minor cursing ;) I managed to get up and running again.

So +1 on the dual source option, esp. for those of us that use the SuperWipe>ROM install method.

And finally, is it possible to remove some of the no's in the menus?, I'm sure my Volume button feels weaker each time.... and the majority of us aren't idiots (honest!, even though I did miss the 'Installs from internal etc' in the OP)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jeggen:
Any possibility this recovery will ever support selecting from either internal or external SD card? I have a Photon and the CWM based recovery made by Jokersax (and other CWM based recoveries) support this and it's super handy... both for backup/restore and for installing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Anymoore:
Guys i have a big problem :s

first , excuse me for my bad english because i'm french.

So , i have installed CM9 on my transformer , but now i'm stuck on the recovery v5.5.0.4 and i can't reboot.

The problem is that i'm a newbie in technology and i don't know how use "adb" ( and where can i download this).

Secondly, is there another solution to solve my problem ? Cause i'm put the last recovery by roach in my sd card , but in the recovery i can't see the files who are in the sd card !!!! So i can't install the last recovery....

If you can help me , i may feel very "happy"

Thank you for help
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] acdcking12345:
I used the rogue because I can choose internal or external memory to flash.

But in all honestly, I have a TF folder on my external card that I use for all flashing. I am not sure if the non ability to get to the external memory was a good way to go. Unless I am missing something..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] dimitarc:
I just installed 5.5.0.4 from the SD card and after applying ARHD superwipe lite it cant read the sd card. So I am stuck with a brick. I hope you can help me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
If you have adb setup, use it to push a ROM file to your internal sd.

Also check to see if you have an sbk v1 tablet. If you do you could use nvflash to flash a ROM

Hi Everyone

I wasn't able to flash recovery so what I did was flash recovery using Rom Manager(which worked)...I flashed a rom and everything went great so I decided I wanted to flash Roaches CWM because the version I had was missing option that Roaches CWM had(like I was only able to flash files on the internal storage/No option for external storage)....Everything went well except for one thing...I am stuck on a bootloop and I didn't have the bootloop fix on my internal storage...Can someone help me out here?

Is there a way to push the file to my internal storage? If not, how would i go about fixing this problem? Thanks and any help would be greatly appreciated

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
CWM Recovery 5.5.x.x uses the device's internal sdcard. It says so in the OP. To use your MicroSD card you will have to use another version of recovery. Use either my 3.2.0.1 or another recovery that supports external sdcards.

Run this through adb or TE?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] josteink:
if a command line starts with "adb shell" it means you need to run it on your computer, with the device hooked up via USB.

My guess is that you need to do this while booted into CWM. And there you dont have any TE.
