Me Again--

Here is where I am at so far--Re did nv flash, got rid of cwm latest edition and tried an old one I had made for the tf101 from solanz. I booted in to and out of it a couple of times with no problem whilst on the android 3.1 that came with my nvflash. I then down loaded a new rom, tried to flash it, flashed it and got stuck on the eeepad boot up screen once again (like before) I then used 'easyflasher' tool, it nvflashed my tf101 again and installed Rogue XM Touch recovery on. Alas, when I try to reboot from this recovery the same thing happens IT GETS STUCK on the eeepad boot screen. One big difference I am now having also is that I dont even get the chance to cold boot in to Linux. The option is simply not there....

I hate being beat but I am tired, its 7am (uk) time and I feel like fighting somebody,lolol.

Any ideas my friend?

Thanks once again..... :-(

Edit:-

Nvflashed an ICS Asus rom from here http://www.xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Asus/Asus+Transformer+(TF101)/ROMS/NVflash+STOCK/ICS+.24 It is a great resource. Any how, I then nvflashed Rogue from the 'easyflash' tool. Down loaded KANG31 FOR THE TF101, Did all the usual wiping and flashed Kang 31. Kang 31 now seems to be in a boot loop but at least my recovery did not fail this time. Maybe some progress.

Speak soon lol

Cheers :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sidneyk:
I was looking over the Easyflash tool thread and the stock ROM links you listed. The Easyflash tool sounds decent, although I haven't used it. I'm using Rogue's XM Touch Recovery now and was using Roach's Touch Recovery (fixed version) before without issues. I don't know really what is going on, maybe a bad boot loader or HW issue. Are you using a TF101 and not a TF101G? Are you an SBK1 or SBK2? Do you have an external microSD card inserted? From power off you might try removing and reinserting the microSD, which should be formatted FAT32.

I'm going to have to look at what exactly that Easyflash tool is doing. I'm going to suggest if your Recovery is still working to try Revolver 4 RC3 ROM, available from the same file server you mentioned earlier. Wipe caches, do factory reset and flash Revolver from Recovery. See if it will work for you. I'm using it daily so I know it better. It is a good ICS ROM. If this doesn't work then give me the details about your exact HW model #, first 3 digits of serial number, whether dock or no dock, whether microSD card or not, etc. Any detail that might help in troubleshooting would be useful. Good luck. Feel free to use the PM function if you want so we don't hijack this thread.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RayYung:
Hi Roach,

Just upgrade to v.5.5.0.4 from v3.2.0.1 and I notice that "SDcard" now mean internal storage. Any chance you can change it back the actual micro SDcard? I feel a lot better when I have the backup on the SD card and I can also WIPE the internal when I need to.

Thank you,
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jrohwer:
Rogue's recovery (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1446019) allows backup to and restore/install from both external sdcard and internal storage. The latest version is also touch based.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] savagepagan:
For some reason, 5818 does not see the external sd card. It says sd card while in recovery mode, but the contents displayed are actually those of the internal card of the phone. Not the external card.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sidneyk:
This is correct. For external microSD support, see the post just above yours.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] semsem1969:
i tried few recoveries and for some reason i can not back up my ROM.any idea

please see picture.(sorry the picture is with different recovery but even with this one same result)...

any help will be appreciate it.thanks

Just flashed the repacked CWM and I wasn't sure if I'd like it but so far I do.

Now looking to flash the AOKP ROM. This way my Nexus and TF101 will be similar.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kdelinux:
WOW did not see this coming

Ok So I install the touch screen CWM. It works great.

Did not check the which sdcard the 5.8.8 was reading before I started wiping. Now I have all my zips files on /Remove/Sdcard and my tablet can only see what on my internal storage. :-( Why would is there no option to mount my tablet's sd when plug into the PC? or a back door to switch to internal and MircroSD???

I have to found a way to flash my tablet through the PC now just to get the CWM to work with my MircroSD.

Does any one know how to fix this??
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] bfmetcalf:
The Rouge touch recovery does this.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sidneyk:
If you are able to use nvflash and have the proper drivers setup on your PC, then the best bet would be to download the nvflash version of Rogue XM Touch Recovery and connect to pc in apx mode and flash, since you have already wiped the internal anyway. Then you could download a ROM and push it through adb to your device to flash or find an nvflashable ROM and go from there.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RaymanFX:
Anybody out here having experience with blobs and boot/recovery images?

I compiled TeamWin Touch Recovery successfully, but the bootimage doesn't quite seem to do it's job.

I need experienced people.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sidneyk:
I've played around a bit with blobs and boot images, what's the proposition?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
Count me in for some android hackery!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RaymanFX:
Ok folks, Imma upload some files for you (pure recovery, bootimage) and you see what you can do?

Maybe you manage to make it work. Cause it seems, when installing my zip, the new blob is flashed, but if I reboot into recovery, it's still the one I've had before...

http://ul.to/folder/f2b42w

My uploaded.to folder contains all the needed files.

Included are :

The Recovery.SOS partition file

The kernel - and ramdisk files necessesary for the boot image

The whole update.zip which *should* install the latest TeamWin Touch Recovery.

(Get your (maybe) required blob.HEADER file from the complete blob I put in)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
OK, I got it to boot into recovery... I'll repack it as a zip and upload it shortly. I didn't test anything.

I did start tapping on the screen and I almost wiped my TF. Good thing all those "no" options are in there.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RaymanFX:
THANKS ! Please upload it on a one click - sharehoster and pm me the link, I will open a seperate thread for the recovery then, cause I can support the users and fix up everything related to recovery development !

And could you please tell me, what you did to make it work, via pm ? I think I might have failed at packaging the .SOS file ..
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
I sent the files via PM- there are a few issues and I don't want people to download it and get stuck.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RaymanFX:
Didn't receive any pm from you apart from the one where you stated you have experience with blobs. Please re-send it with a list of bugs,,.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
PM sent- sorry, I type slowly. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jefbal99:
Oh I hope this works, I was talking with Dees_Troys on twitter and he thought a custom kernel would be needed due to the small 5MB recovery partition on the TF101.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
It kinda works, but there are a few bugs that need testing still.

I was able to get my tablet back by this. Thanks for the help.

For the people who are making this Recovery CWM. Plz make a mount to PC PLEASE. I would not wish what I went through on anyone that just starting out rooting there TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] BlackSoil:
Hi All,

Forgive me if this is a silly thing, but I have been spending hours without luck trying to get CWM installed on my device.

I use nvflash -r --download 5 recoveryblob to flash the recovery partition. Everything went smoothly, however when I reboot recovery, only the default recovery shows up, which is the one with only wipe option.

I am using a stock OS. I wonder what did I do wrong?

Thanks a lot
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
Does it give you the a choice to cold boot into linux? I suspect that you need to hit volume up when you see the white text to get into recovery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RaymanFX:
Did you do these exact 3 steps ?

(Step 0 - only for wheelie) :

[SBKv1]

./wheelie -1 -o 0x300d8011 --bl bootloader.bin -c transformer.bct

[SBKv2]

[./wheelie -2 -o 0x300d8011 --bl bootloader.bin -c transformer.bct

Step 1 :

./nvflash -r --download 5 recoveryblob

Step 2 :

./nvflash -r --go
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] BlackSoil:
@rayman33, gee one

Yeah, I did all those steps you mentioned. I even tried flashing different CWM file from different sources. Is this possibly because my transformer is of newer serial (C20)?

So after following all the steps, I power off the tablet. Then I turned it on by holding the power button and volume down. And then it gave me an option to go to recovery, I hit volume up, and in the recovery there are only 2 options:

Cold booting, and wipe.

Oh yeah, just out of curiosity, why do we need to unpack .img file using blob tool? What actually is .SOS file?

p.s. I tried flashing without and with converting to .SOS but still no luck :(

Thanks a lot..

***

I haven't tried this, but if I try to flash the recovery partition with file of md5, say XXX, if I try to download it from the partition using nvflash, should I be getting a file of the same md5?

I suspect that nvflash doesn't actually write the partition even though it says the image was successfully sent, because I tried to flash some irrelevant stuff, and I could still boot into nvidia's default recovery :(
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
If you have the option to cold boot or wipe data, you are NOT in recovery. Hit the volume up button a little faster- there is a 5 sec timer once it boots. If you hit volume up fast enough, the wihite text will read "booting to recovery kernel" and you'll see the CWM icon or maybe a dead android.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] BlackSoil:
Seriously? I didn't know it wasn't the recovery...

Good to know that, but I still couldn't get into recovery..

So here's the situation:

I shutdown, then I turned on while holding vol down.

This text comes up:

android us_eepad-bootloader....

Checking for android ota...

Checking for RCK.. press key <vol_up> in 5 sec to enter RCK.

I hit vol_up and it goes to the screen with wipe and cold boot options. I wonder what's going on here.. I tried different CWM (toch/non-touch from the official site, as well as the one from this thread, and none of them worked)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] gee one:
Does it say "booting to recovery kernel"? Maybe your volume up is broken?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] BlackSoil:
Ohh it supposed to say that? Mine doesn't say that. If I hit vol_up it immediately goes into the screen with wipe and cold-boot options. I guess the recovery isn't installed correctly :(

Omg idk what's happening.

I just retried the thing and now it's working! Thanks a lot guys.. I guess last time there was problem with my virtual machine? So weird...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] P500:
Nice work, Roach! I just installed the touch recovery and it works great.

However, the font is a bit huge, so installing a .zip from my SD which is usually at the bottom of the filelist, is consuming a lot of time to scroll down.

Otherwise, nice job!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SkillfulMmd:
Still having issues flashing recovery

Hey guy's I haven't had time to pick up and fix my transformer since the whole recovery flashing issue I've finally come back to it but none of the guides to get the new recovery to stick work I've tried a few different methods I can cold-boot Linux and boot into android and drop back into recovery but I can't get anything to stick.

If I run this command: adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3

All i get is a message saying no space left on device even thought I got 12GB left on the internal storage.

and I also tried this command: echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0

But I get a syntax error in adb saying that dd is not a recognized command.

Am I missing something big here as it's really annoying I can't even use my tablet properly.

Thanks in advance!

Problems with the CWM (recovery)

I installed the recovery and now I only read the internal memory.

I read and I can not install sd rooms or do anything.

Some solution. thanks

I found a solution to my problem. Install recovery installer and start all over again.

If anyone is interested and has had the same problem here you can download the apk:

I take no credits for these. RecoveryInstaller is by Gnufabio.

Modified Version w / Team Rouge's recovery image belong to Team Rouge.

I only modified originally for a friend but i shared Because all dead or other links do not work.

Same problem here. further on I loose contact with the TF101G wenn it starts into recovery. Once the tab rebooted into recovery the adb commands don't work and all I get is error: device not found.

What am I doing wrong?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] davidoe:
Doesnt Work For me

I has been trying any thing I saw on every post and the update doesn't work for me.

I STOCK ON THE BOOT-LOOOOP!!! On the ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.4 This is an VIRUS ! jajaja

Please SOME ONE HELP ME!!!! how to get out of this boot loop and get back to stock !!! :silly:
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] KyleK29:
Seem to have a semi-brick situation. I flashed the latest version, got into it. Was going to flash Android HD and did a super-wipe. Now I can't find any .zip files - I assume since this mounts /sdcard0 and not /sdcard1. I can get into Recovery and ADB (no shell access, gives /sh not found). Tried pushing the files to /data but get permission denied.

Is there a way for Touch CWM v5.8.1.8 to get into /sdcard1?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kingdruid:
Why is there no support for external SD? Doesn't make any sense. I just bricked my ASus transformer because my update image is only on the external SD and I can't get APX mode working on any of my pc's. The problem is it tells me "Device cannot start Code 10". I can get into my brand new Clockwork recovery 5.8.1.8, but that does nothing if it can't detect the external SD....... Thanks for the brick, $550 down the drain.

Asus Transformer TF101
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frederuco:
When you are in Recovery, can your computer detect it as an ADB device? You will probably need to install the naked drivers.

If so, you can push a firmware file to your tablet to the internal SDcard so you can flash the file.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] DatDude123:
It's happened to all of us. Which version of recovery are you running. Some simple ADB commands should get you back on your feet. Check the OP out. There are other resources if you are boot looped. Just describe the issue and someone will help. There are plenty of threads about it.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] kingdruid:
Tried naked drivers and usbpcdriver nvidia drivers that come with NVFLashtf

No none of the drivers worked on my windows 8 or windows 7 machine. I also have an ubuntu machine, but never tried getting Adb to work on it.

---------- Post added at 06:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 AM ----------

The problem is my transformer is getting error "Device cannot start" error code 10 with any of the drivers I try to install.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frederuco:
The Naked Drivers have 2 drivers included, and APX and an ADB.

If you boot to APX mode, you need the APX driver.

If you boot to Recovery it will need the ADB driver.

Not sure why you are getting a device cannot start error but you may need to try a different PC and see if that helps at all.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] RCOO:
I'm always rebooting into recovery...

I know I'm suppose to do this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23339963&postcount=249

However, where should i type the adb command?

In recovery? If im on recovery adb won't detect any devices when i do "adb devices"! To the computer the tablet is off when in recovery.

What can i do?

Ok. Solved my problem. Installed Rogue XM Touch Recovery via NVFlash and it worked perfectly.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] smirkis:
this recovery caused my tf to keep black screening! it drove me crazy all day. I finally got into cwm and flashed a backup I made and used rootkit to flash older cwm and all is well again. whata headach that was.

sent from my rooted tf101
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] frosty5689:
Did you dl the zip using Android Browser or IE? Try downloading it on Firefox/Chrome or download manager and check md5sum with software like md5sum (command line) or RapidCRC Unicode (Windows) before and after you transfer it onto your MicroSD card. It looks like a corrupted file for me or you simply didn't wait long enough.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] K900:
That's great, but... It looks like you shouldn't load roms from /data/media because some roms may modify /data. Though that's not the case very often, so the devs could just write something like WARNING DON'T FLASH FROM INTERNAL MEMORY. Another random idea I had was to make a ramdisk, put the zip file there, unmount data and flash. But then the ROM size is limited at about 900MB, though I don't really care ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] hensk:
tux roach for everything ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] steini81:
Flashed recovery and worked great. Thank you roach!!!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] seshsud:
I flashed with Prime 1.4 (super user access is there), download quick boot from market. I didnt see CWM installed on Prime.

Can I reboot into recovery mode (using quick boot) and then run the attached recovery? This I believe will install the latest CWM too and then I flash to Prime 1.6rc2?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
quickboot does not work to get into recovery. You can try Gnufabio's boot to recovery app or hold volume down plus power button until you see lines of words appear at the top left, push volume up within 5 sec and that will take you into cwm recovery.

Once you get into recovery, yes you can flash this updated version of cwm and you can flash any rom you like
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mattykellyuk:
or update to a newer prime they have it bulit into the shutdownn menu bit.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] housry23:
I actually asked shift on Twitter I'd they planned on supporting twrp on the TF and he said most of teamwin have thus TF and they do plan on supporting it. He said one the novelty of their Evo 3d wears off.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Mr.Clark:
Does this mean it could be renamed to a .img file and flashed over /recovery using NVFlash?

I tried to mount USB storage to write to the microSD via Recovery and it failed with errors.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jefbal99:
I've had two failed flashes since switching recoveries.

Kernel Manager tried to flash netarchy's new kernel and that got me into a boot loop, had to reflash the ROM.

Tried to flash the SuperUser 3 beta from androidsu.com and it failed with the following after wiping cache and dalvik

Mounting SYSTEM...
Deleting SYSTEM:bin/su...
Deleting SYSTEM:xbin/su...
Extracting files to SYSTEM...
Setting SYSTEM:bin/su permission to 6755...

I know the SU MD5 was correct, on the KM flash, not sure, but this is my first failed kernel.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] CaNsA:
What were the errors?

Also, i thought CWM auto mounts the mSDCards
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jefbal99:
Just failed to mount, I was trying to copy files from my PC to Tablet while in recovery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] nes4r2:
Roach on the next update can you add the option of deleting internal sd someonemention you have to add something to achive that currently what is it and where can i find it.? Also awesomethat ur keeping cwm alive on our tablets .
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Black_V!per:
Hey it works! I tried for about an hour one night trying to get this update going, every time i rebooted it was the same old version. Got fed-up and gave up. A few days ago i went to flash netformer kernel and bam, it showed the most recent version. Not sure what happened or why it kept showing as the old version each reboot, but its working fine now.

Cant wait to have this working with CWM-App so i can download and flash right from the OS.

Great work!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] SilverZero:
Okay, so I went in to make a nandroid using this version of CWM on my stock, just-rooted TF. It kept giving me the "can't mount /sdcard" error, but there was never an SD card in the device. I pulled out an old 1gb card and slipped it in, and now the backup is going just fine.

For clarification: Does this require an SD card to be installed in order to do a backup? Does the nandroid backup save to the SD card?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
Yes you need a micro sd card for the nandroid backup. You don't want to save backup on your internal sd in case something happened and you have to wipe the tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
The quickest way would be to manually delete everything in /data/media

flash CWM without installing a ROM

Sorry to ask this noob question, but I've been searching for an answer for over 2 hours now.

I rooted my TF, and now I want to install CWM, in order to be able to install Clemsyn-Blades-CPAjuste-supercurio OC kernel for 3.2.

The zipfiles provided in the first post are meant to be used with CWM, right? But I don't have CWM yet, and I don't want to flash a complete ROM, because I'm perfectly happy with the stock ROM.

Is there a way to flash CWM without installing a ROM?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] thebadfrog:
CWM is not a rom. You are just replacing stock recovery with a custom recovery. So by definition flashing CWM wont replace your stock rom. Start reading from post 1 of this thread and reference any other CWM threads in the development section. You really need to do more research before you completely bork something. And don't use ROM Manager.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
thebadfrog pretty much nailed it.

which method did you use to root your tf? Usually right after rooting there's an option to install CWM.
