A question :)

I'm sure this question as been asked already, but I couldn't find it or its solution yet.

If I'm using a bad ROM and I cannot boot into it because of any reason.. how can I boot into the recovery method?

I want to perform some changes to my current ROM and I afraid I might break it...

Thanks in advance.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
You can NOT flash this with "stock" recovery.

Peoples are pointing you in the right direction by telling you about RecoveryInstaller. It will install the exact version of CWM you see in this thread.

This CWM thread was stated long ago for peoples too update from an older version of CWM hence its a flashable zip format.

Have u tried reformatting the SD card to a different file system type?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
Do you have a micro sd card insert into the tablet?

CWM does not read from the internal sd.

Also if you already install CWM using RecoveryInstaller, no need to flash this version as it's the same thing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zenzip:
i refer to internal sdcard folder, not EXTERNAL SDCARD.

So recovery not is useful because I can't flash any file (rom, kernel) without external sdcard ??? ...
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sert00:
it is write that recovery read only external storage.without it you can't do anything!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mrruin:
exactly. For CWM an external microSD card is absolutely necessary and required.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] zenzip:
Ok ty all, so I must buy an SDCARD almost 2/4 GB :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] pdc419:
I'd probably get a bigger one since all of your backups, roms, and kernels have to be stored on it in order to flash through CWM

What he said -- I got a 16gb Class 10 micro SD card. The class 10 doesn't matter that much, it's just the data rate (read/write)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] josteink:
I had a spare 2GB card lying around which I am using now.

It's too small. It fits around one backup (HC + apps = huuuuge) and shuffling that back and forth between computers all the time gets tiresome.

I'm getting an 8-32GB sometime later because 2GB doesn't cut it even for light modding.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] carhauler1969:
Stay away from the 32GB cards, they are very prone to file system corruption, & are also very slow to mount at boot a lot of the time. I fought these problems for over 6 months on my EVO 4G, with a Patriot 32GB class 10 card.

I've been using a 32 Gb SD card for about a month now and haven't experienced any problems that I have noted as yet.

I agree, I bought a 32GB card same time I bought my Transformer and I have never had a single issue with it. Like all things, quality and results vary depending on the person and the device.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Christian Troy:
they can get corrupted if they're fake (smaller size formatted as 32gb)
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Sharpe351:
I bought a 64 GB card for my TF and have had 0 issues. I'm not sure of the class, but it is really fast. I store nearly everything on it. Movies, music, backups, ROMs, etc. No issues. I've been using it for a month or two.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] josteink:
If we are going to get technical and nitpicky, a fake 32gb is not a 32gb card. It's something else, maliciously rebranded.

Not recommending real 32gb cards because there exists fake 32gb cards when buying in shady Hongkong markets for $2 does not really make much sense.

Update first post?

I just thought it might be worth adding a link in the original post that points to recovery installation instructions that are relevant to this recovery on this device. Particularly for those new users who have only just rooted for the first time and have an otherwise stock device with a factory recovery.

There are likely people that waited for the ICS OTA and are now doing their first device hack with their Transformer.

Just a thought, and thanks for making this recovery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
I've compiled a new recovery that doesn't stay in recovery after you select reboot.

At least it doesn't on mine.

Here's a thread for another device that works similar to ours that describes what the problem was with the recovery loop.

Note that the TF101 works in the same way as the 1.2 bootloader on the Gtab.

There is a troubleshooting thread for cwm 5.5.0.4 that has the same issue- the problem is fixable through terminal or adb in either the rom or recovery. The fix will enable you to flash another recovery.

If you don't see that at the top of the screen you are still using another recovery.

Run the following to allow you to reboot and then my recovery should be flash by the bootloader and then tablet will reboot into android.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sidneyk:
New recovery

New recovery working great here. Looks really nice with the blue text. But, I have to second the motion for getting the option back for installing zips from the external microsd card. I already have all my zips stored there and Revolver Parts, at least in the past, puts it's stuff there also. I know I can just move stuff over if need be, but this option would be really nice to have back. I haven't tried the backup function yet, but hopefully it doesn't force the backups to the internal sd card or prevent access to backups already stored on ext microsd card. Great work, but yes, please restore the ability to also install from external microsd card, if possible. Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Hammerfest:
Its what we had before, it was the norm... and with the SuperWipe full it wipes the internalmemory... meaning anything you have on it goes BYE BYE...

trolling as usual I see

Yes, all previous versions (that I tried that worked) used the MicroSD instead of the InternalMemory

Thanks! Same here, everything is already setup on the MicroSD, and I use the Mod that makes programs use the MicroSD as well, InternalMemory for me is all /data storage, so it gets wiped when I swap roms or anything of that sort because it contains actual programs and such!
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Roach2010:
If you want to use the external MicroSd card use 3.2.0.1

If you want to use the internal /sdcard use 5.5.0.4

If you want both then feel free to modify the source - https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery

I might tweak mine slightly but I don't have the time to rewrite CWM.

Eos is my priority and I'll be putting most of my available time into that project.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] 335Deezl:
@Hammerfest

I'm using Rogue Recovery 1.3.0, and it gives me the option to use both, internal or external storage. Roach, I love your work, and I used your previous 3.x.x.x recovery up until I blindly flashed Koush's broken cwm, and I'll continue to look forward to all of your brilliant contributions to xda, and the Android community as a whole.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] sidneyk:
Well, actually, I guess I'll just have to go back to using Rogue XM Recovery, which handles both already, as I am not a programmer. I'll check back later to see if the needed support has been added. Thanks for your contribution, none the less. I know it's hard to have too many irons in the fire and can appreciate what you are saying.
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] mb2k:
Worked great for me. Thanks for this.

For those who may have been having the reboot to recovery loop problem, prior to this all I had to do was hold vol- during boot, let go and do nothing (instead of hitting vol+ to get into recovery) After a few seconds I would get the option to wipe or boot to OS. I just didn't press anything and the OS would load no problem.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] jerdog:
Not sure where you're going with this, but taking potshots at the OP who HAS given the TF the attention when Koush honestly has not isn't allowed here. Roach did what Koush had not nor was able to at the time. It's what open source is about. Let's move on now, ok?
[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] Hammerfest:
please re-read my post, which if anything, could be considered a pot-shot at Koush, a small bit of thought goes along way to avoid misunderstandings, I put alot of praise in for Roach and against Koush if anything in that post, as from what I understand, he knew of the issues, and I saw a tweet directed at him about it to take a look at Roach's and Rogue's CWM for the TF101 and possibly ask them for assistance and Roach in his first post made it sound as if Koush hadnt made any effort to find out from him, I forgive your misunderstanding however, its become rather chaotic lately here at XDA

as I said I am glad to see his focus on EOS considering between it and CM9+Cornerstone are the 2 major ROM's I am now toying with on each release (and you generally flash CWM only a few times and ROM's a great many :D )

For me the better Recovery is this:

Humber0S-v5.6.0

Instal menu:

- choose zip from internal sdcard

- choose zip from external sdcard

- apply /sdcard/update.zip

etc.

The first menu is:

- reboot menu

- install menu

- wipe menu

- nandroid menu

- storage menu

- tweaks menu

- power off

I installed the v5.5.0.4 from another thread (now closed), for me worked well but I don´t like it. I returned to Your v3.2.0.1. For me is better.

I have many rom backups .img files, i prefer the ext. sdcard and the new v5 don't make kernel backups also (I know this is difficult).

I returned to v3, flashing your v3 .zip on v5, worked well (after reboot).

The problem right now is that I need access to the externalSD to install Team Rouge or Roach's 3.2.0.1. I don't have them in my internal SD.

[Eee Pad Transformer Android Development] baseballfanz:
What is the state of your Transformer? Can you boot up normally?

If you can just download the Team Rouge or Roach's 3.2.0.1 zip file and move it to internal sd.

If your tablet is stuck in recovery, you could use ADB to get the files there.

You could also use RecoveryInstaller to install them if your tablet is in normal working condition.
