NEW CWM v5.8.2.0

Also available in RM

Apparently faster Backup times

edit: Backup times about 10x faster

*possible kernel backup/restore working

Will test soon

Edit: Pretty sure boot img restore works! Testing more thoroughly

Edit: Confirmed, this is what I did:

Backup Virtuous-> Wipe-> Install CM9-> Reboot (allow kernel flash) -> Wipe -> Restore Virtuous-> Boot into Virtuous to make sure all is working-> working!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] youngnex:
Confirmed it also. No need to reflash boot.img after testing out roms like CM9 or AOKP.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ryan562:
Awesome. Updated cm perfectly by flashing through rom manager app.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chtamina:
Is ADB enabled ? I can't get my TP recognized from my pc (it's stuck at CWM recovery)and doesn't boot any rom/backup

How are you guys updating to the new recovery? Need some help. I don't want to mess anything up.

fastboot then push img?

rom manager isn't working for me.

thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
No, we are using Rom Manger.... why/how isn't it working for you?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leyvatron:
not working... I installed the blob yesterday and it has the old recovery.

I installed rom manager from the market, clicked on update recovery and nothing happens.

What am I missing?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
I had to install the "non-rom manger version" that you can install with Viper's Prime Time Root tool. Then I was able to update to the "official" Rom Manager via the Rom Manager app.... don't know why????
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leyvatron:
Ooohhh.... that is the problem. I'm going to try Vipers now. Thanks for the help.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leyvatron:
okay .... that worked.

used Vipers tool then rom manager to upgrade the recovery image.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beekay201:
op should be updated:

1) all users should update cwm to 5.8.x.x

2) it doesn't support external sdcard yet, so either code that yourselves and submit to koush, or bear with it and keep your flashables on internal sdcard.

Sent from my TF201
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
And above all doesn't handle correctly /system partition before flashing and can brick your device.

'OUTDATED CWM DON'T USE' would be more simple
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] podezebi:
Hi !

Too many probleme !

I try to flash with CWM 5.8.2.0, but it says "No files found".

So i try to adb push rom.zip /sdcard/ but it says "device not found"

i don't know... What can i do ! please help !

Maybe, i tought flash a primeval rom with fastboot, but i don't know how...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
At least we would need a bit more details: flashing what? Why posting in the 5.5.04 CWM thread while speaking of 5.8.2.0 ?

Too blurry post to be helped.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] podezebi:
Sorry i'll try to give you more information.

First i use this post because i found people here who had the same probleme in the CWM : "file not found" when i try tu flash a rom !

The second problem, is that i can't use ADB... But i'm not at the right place ;)

Thanx for your answer

Unlock tool first?

Do we need to use the Unlock tool from Asus first or will CWR work without unlocking the boot loader?

(sorry by my only android experience has been with a Motorola device - locked bootloader - but working CWR through BSR...)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hawkysoft:
unlock first, but please if you allready have root.... use adb logcat > output.txt for me before you use the app, and when all is done send it to me please
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
I had the exact same experience. Recommend people to use the blob file method for the time being.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
I lost root on my OTA updates (i know im retarded for not using root keeper)

can i still unlock and flash cwm?

is there anyway to root the .14?

---------- Post added at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------

not sure if im dense, but where is the fastboot image?

I only see the .blob for rooted users, but i lost root recently
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
Yes you can unlock and yes you can root look at mempodroid for root.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hawkysoft:
please read and move ur cursor on the links...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
Root your prime first, all rooting methods are working with .14.

Unlock (this is working without root also of course).

Use the blob method, it's working for sure.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mutiny:
I'm not sure. Is there a packaged zip right now where you can flash SU from CWM?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HuskerWebhead:
OK, I tried running the blob method. When I try and access CWM I get the Android on his back, chest open, Triangle with exclamation. What did I hose up? I can still boot normally fine.

Downloaded the .sos file and renamed it to TFCWM5.blob and ran the above.... :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
I rooted and unlocked and just pushed and installed the blob.

Tried using quickboot to boot to recovery and it doesnt =\
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Download the .blob not the .SOS
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
So how do I get into CWM now?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
Have you modified the name and path in the dd command? Just do exactly the same than me, all the different steps... without changing anything.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adalgiso:
Got it working, completed nandroid backup.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
Boot pressing Vol Down + Power as long as necessary to see a screen with a few lines of text on upper left corner of the screen.

Once there, press within 5 secondes Vol Up

You're done.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HuskerWebhead:
Thanks, I'm a bonehead. Didn't see there were two different links there and grabbed the SOS instead of the blob. Working now. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
sweet jesus my tfp has cwm! Bring on the roms!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] barryflanagan:
You will have to change your sig though - no way you are getting a fix/replace from ASUS now ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HuskerWebhead:
:D Beat me to it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Well I've managed to get into a complete boot loop.

After installing CWM I managed to somehow start a firmware update that reboots to CWM constantly. I had made a nandroid backup already so thought that I would be safe, but even after formatting everything and restoring the backup, It boots straight back into CWM.

Oh well, hopefully a custom ROM will get me out of this mess. :D :D :D

Currently syncing CM source, but without proprietary TFP files I don't think that I'll get anywhere fast with a build. :D

Hey viperboy, any news on a Viper ROM now that we have bootloader unlock?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] -viperboy-:
Well, with CM9 already working on the Prime, I have to see. I find CM to be the best software, IMO. I don't know if there would be a big demand for another ROM when CM9 is out, you know? I always struggle with this decision, I will have to see what others think.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djkinetic:
CM9 is far from complete from what i've tested on my GNex...so there is a need for other roms...right now im on AOKP on my gnex because it really does offer the best in customization and performance on the gnex till cm9 matures more.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] plun:
Well... is it possible port the HTC Endeavour leak ??

http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/13/htc-endeavor-specs-revealed/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] djkinetic:
dont think so...and if it is thats a pretty difficult port it would seem with sense built on top of ICS...that said i wouldnt care for it as i dont like sense anyway.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GirLuvsDroid:
And I'm on CodenameAndroid 1.4.0 on my GNex, because it has the perfect amount of features/customization/performance for me and I like it better than AOKP. That's what's awesome about Android and choice -- everyone is looking for something a little bit different. Which is why you should really consider doing your own ROM for the Transformer Prime -viperboy-.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stephen44:
also CM Developers seems a bit distant from us - where as you would appear to me to be more responsive to TP specific changes - so yes please.

(hdmi out with dock lid closed would be top of my requests if possible ;) )

Question: The stock recovery has an option for to turn on the Fastboot protocols. Does flashing this recovery lose the option to turn on the protocols?

This option only showed after the unlocked bootloader I believe. Any confirmation would be great, thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Nope, you still get fastboot access after installing CWM.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 1wayjonny:
Roger that! I flashed through fastboot already but the stock came back of course. Before attempting again thought I would ask.

I hope we see a touch recovery soon
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] marc91988:
Need better instruction for fastboot, once i booted into fastboot i ran the command to flash the recovery i got the successfull writing ‘recovery’ … OKAY

but when i type fastboot reboot it hangs at “waiting for device” which makes no sense because it detects the device and writes the recovery.

once i reboot it by holding volume buttons and power and boot into recovery it is back to stock recovery.

Please help as i am on the unrootable version of ICS and need to flash through fastboot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xsteven77x:
I think thats a little greedy to be hoping for that. I think most of us are thankful we have a custom recovery period at this point. If we get a touch great, if not i dont think it's a big deal for anyone :)

There's a couple of people, shinichekey and richteratmosphere, who should be on the way to this thread. They soft bricked/ bootloop their prime after unlocking and installing CWM.

They need expert help as the method of installing any firmware update/stock rom seems to not be working for them.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ryan562:
Anyone else find that fix permissions doesn't work?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] barryflanagan:
You can speed it up a bit by doing the following.

Open up a terminal (you do not need to su)

Type the following:

touch /sdcard/clockworkmod/.hidenandroidprogress

There is another nice one I always do:

touch /sdcard/clockworkmod/.one_confirm

...this makes it so that when you choose to delete cache, install a zip or whatever, the confirmation only contains a single No, and a single Yes, rather than the whole screenful of "No"s

Hope this helps.

What is the partition "staging"? Never seen that on Android before. Saw it under the mounts and storage menu.

It doesn't - the options available on that page are actually for partitioning the SD. Hopefully they'll fix it it soon.

I had a CWM bootloop, but i fixed that.

Now I have another problem. My prime is wiped, but now CWM can't read my internal sd-card. When I choose: "Choose zip from sdcard". CWM gives the message: "no files found".

I did nandroid, but that gives the same error when I want to restore.

Anyone have a solution?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
Perhaps there is infact no files on your internal storage (it got wiped somehow). In that case, perhaps you can adb push Virtuous and flash it
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Deathbyfugu:
No solution - I've seen this reported elsewhere. You're SoL. Download a rom and put it on a microsd and hope it can read/install from that mount.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kipfel:
Allready tried adb push ...\virtuous_prime_beta1.zip /sdcard

The file was transfered succesfully, but stil the same error.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my prime was encrypted?

/sdcard revers to internal sdcard? Or am I wrong? I have no external sdcard inserted.

Real bummer this....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] droidx2.3.3:
I'm not being greedy at all. I am VERY greatfull of whatever anyone builds and puts out for ANY device. I'm just stating that a touch recover would be a bonus. Heck make it a paid app in the market. I'd pay good $ for that. I always support the devs even if I don't like what they put out. I always send a few bucks their way.

OK rant over back to business

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] halftonehero:
Ran into a snag....

I was playing around in recovery and entered the key logger. Problem is there is no back button to exit and adb is not recognizing my device. Should I just let the battery drain?

EDIT: Never mind. Long pressing the power button forced a power cycle.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kipfel:
I tried to push the recovery blob file through adb again and now it hangs on "Booting recovery kernel image"

Any solutions for that?

And i can't seem to get fastboot to work. Which driver do i need? And am i correct that i can use fastboot by booting while holding power and vol-down button. Then wait and then select USB?

Or any other tips/solutions/thoughts to get my prime back up again?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Warning! In case you haven't heard already, unlocking device and trying to flash back a stock Asus ROM will cause your device to hard brick. No recovering from it. There's a thread on it. Just making sure people remember this. Quite a few bricked or semi-bricked primes have been surfacing since unlock tool release.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Think you mean after unlocking, you try to install a Asus blob, you will end up with a possible soft brick??? Restoring a backup you made w/ CWM recovery while still on the "stock" rom, but with unlocked bootloader & CWM installed obviously, shouldn't hurt at all.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Deathbyfugu:
Has anyone heard if the dev for this version of CWM will be updating it soon to correct the issues some have had? Fixing permissions in recovery would be great!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pbrauer:
Quick Question/Clarification....

I believe I am understanding that now that I have unlocked, clockworked and flashed if I try to just install one of the ROMs directly from ASUS I will brick my device.

However, the CWM backup that I made before flashing Virtuous CAN be restored with no problems, correct?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Yes, correct.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xsteven77x:
Hoping we get an updated version of this soon. Really want to be able to mount internal sd in Clockwork. Also would love fix permissions.

I have done 3 backups of my rom, and i dont see it ANYWHERE on the sd card. It completes successfully, but when i check in the clockworkmod folder it is not there. WTH lol.

Is it because i have the device encrypted?

Edit again: I have actually noticed it does not back up /data. It skips over it real quick.

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

Wow lots of issues happening to me here. First off as stated above, can't make nandroid backups, they dont show up on the sd card. Second, it can't flash virtuous because it wont see the zip on the sd card. Third i can't do a factory reset. If i do it in CWM, it doesn't actually wipe anything. If i do it inside the rom, i get stuck in a bootloop and it still doesn't wipe it. Pretty fed up right now. Dont know what else to do. NO best buys in my area have prime, so i may have to switch this out and go to the dark side... :(:(:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kipfel:
I have the exact same problem. But I tried so much to fix it, that I can't get into the rom or recovery.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
Everyone that want to transfer files to/from Prime while in Recovery mode.

The USB mount option usually enables internal sdcard access from a computer, or external one if you run a cwm 'external' version.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smw6180:
adb push filename /sdcard/./

Anyone playing with root and recoveries really should have adb set up and running. Too many things can go wrong that are fixable via adb or fastboot.

Exactly. This /should/ work.

Smw- I'm also in the bear area. Man I'm seeing a bunch of people in DE on this forum today.

It'll definitely work, as long as usb debugging is set up and you can get your device id with adb devices.

Yeah, Delaware seems to be more popular a place lately...lots of Delaware tags on XDA in the last month or so. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GirLuvsDroid:
My fellow Delawarians -- smw6180 and di11igaf -- I'm looking for some help. I'm quite familiar with adb and have no problem with adb commands on my Prime when it's booted up. However, in recovery, no adb drivers are recognized (although they certainly are when I'm booted up). Of course, this means that I can't push anything to the sdcard while in recovery. How is it that you're able to get adb recognized in recovery?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tedr108:
I'm not a DEian, but did you try adb start-server on your PC's command line first? After you do that, you should be able to see the Prime with adb devices, if your Prime is in recovery.
