Are you in the directory where adb stands? It's not do cmd.exe and then adb.exe

First do cmd.exe then go with dos commands to drive where adb.exe os. Then with cd\ go to the directory where adb is. When you're in the right directory then you can do adb.exe

2 Options: (assuming you have the android SDK, and ran the SDKmanager.Exe and installed packaged)

1) in command prompt, you must navigate to the /tools folder of your android SDK

*Note the "cd" command to change directory

*Note the "dir" command to list the files/folder in a directory

(use dir to figure out which folders to cd to).

The unix/linux equivalent to 'dir' is 'ls', 'cd' is the same (useful if you adb shell)

2)you must add the path of your android sdk to your environment variable ($PATH)

Here is how

Start=> Right Click "My Computer" => Properties => Advance System Settings => Advanced Tab=> Environmental Variables

---In the top box, there should be a "PATH" variable, if so hit edit and go to the end of whatever is there (make sure there is a ';' after whatever is there) and type the path to your android SDK tools folder (same folder you browsed to before in cmd)

My PATH Field looks like this

C:\Users\Mike\Downloads\android-sdk_r16-windows\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\; C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin

(I also have java linked, this is okay if you do not)

If there is no PATH, just hit 'new'

The above allows you to, from command prompt, type "adb" from anywhere (ie, you dont have to be in the sdk folder which is nice)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] grneyez:
I have followed what you said but it still same thing, not recognized as an internal or external command?

This is the path C:\android-sdk-windows\tools I then type in adb devices and it is not a recognized command?

I'll give it a shot with your instructions. This **** is so confusing when you dont know what your doing. Thanks for your help.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
Did you install the packages within sdkmanager?

There should be a file named 'adb' within that folder.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] grneyez:

Got it, I mistyped the path. Got it back to normal, thanks for the detailed instructions helped a great deal.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] henv:
Go via cmd.exe to dos prompt. Then do c: then cd\ then cd android-sdk-windows then cd tools then you will be in right dir.

Second method. Go with file explorer to C:\android-sdk-windows

Hold.shift from keyboard pressed. Right click with mouse on tools.and choose open command prompt here.

you saved my Prime

thanks i was constantly rebooting in to CWM and couldn't figure it out... YOU ROCK!!!!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cdpriest:
I Don't know what went wrong but my tab will only boot into CWM.

The way it happend was that I flashed CM9, and it booted perfectly.

The only problem was WIFI would not work at all, so without even turning off the

the prime, I went into the settings and just factery reset it. When it turned off I can

only get it to boot to CWM and nothing else. My backup also doesn't work.

What should I do? :confused:

Thanks

By the way; I'm pretty sure I have a Brick 1a. So I went through those steps but after It's done,

I reboot and it still just boots back to CWM every time. :(

(NEVERMIND: Tried around 15 times and it actally worked. What I did was restored one of my backups,

then went through steps for "Brick 1a". Started right up! :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vicous707:
kk got a brick my prime is sitting in the splash screen just frozen... no msg or anything. it bricked when i tried to flash the cm9 rom from kang any help i can get?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jesushasadroid:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] grneyez:
Have a question regarding backup & reset.

When I go settings,backup & reset, factory data reset it it causes a Brick 1A. Why does it cause a brick when this is done? How come when I hold power/vol down and get to the stock data wipe and chose wipe it restores the tablet to original stock but does not cause it to brick? Anyone have any idea as to why?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
Because it erases your rom and you have nothing to boot into?

Where are you 'factory resetting'?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] grneyez:
If it docent need to by stock 3.2 you can use this which is ICS

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1518462

---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

But does it not have the factory rom on it? How come before rooting/unlocking bootloader when I do a factory reset thru settings it does not erase the rom? Also, why is the rom not erased when you use power/vol down and you don't go into CWM and reset with the stock reset?

The reason I am factory resetting is I want to return the tablet and exchange for another. Screen bleed spread out further on the screen,making it very noticeable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
No.

This is probably because not Android wipes the device but the recovery.

So Android tells the recovery to error on the next restart but the stock recovery is not there anymore and CWM does recognize the "wipe" command.

Therefor the bootloader always loads up the recovery because the wipe command was never executed nor cleared.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] grneyez:
Ok, I understand that. Now is there anyway to truly go to stock 100% if one chose to do so?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
well wipe data in CWM and format the sdcard.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] grneyez:
Maybe I dident explain corectly. If one wanted to go back completly to stock, meaning stock recovery not CWM? So when someone had to go settings,backup & reset, factory data reset it would normally wipe the data, and not brick like using CWM.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mtotho:
Lol sorry, I am now looking at my prime's settings menu and I understand what he was saying :P, just didnt understand it correctly first time through
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
You can try flashing the stock recovery with a blob.

Extract the SOS file first from a stock blob and repack it (ONLY THE SOS FILE) to a new blob.

You should be able to flas that blob then to get a stock recovery.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] grneyez:
Thanks for the info. Thats a little bit over my head, unfortunately I don't have that much knowledge to do what you have suggested.

Help

I'm stuck in CWM when I reboot. When I hook the tablet up to the computer and use adb, I get the error "device not found."

It is the same computer that I used before the problem, so the drivers are installed.

Any help would be appreciated.

Please disregard. If I had taken the time to read the whole thread, I could have found the answer was the Universal Driver Pack.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JPxM0Dz:
Ok guys I think I'm stuck on brick3

Prime boots into recovery only - I can flash rom, but after flash it continues to go back into recovery

I have no clue how to use adb shell, but willing to learn if someone can walk me though - I read the thread though and I'm still confused how to set it up.

I have downloaded and installed SDK files for windows and latest java. I have also installed the universal beta drivers. Prime can be seen in device manager as adb device. But that's as far a I can go. When I click on adb.exe or fastboot.exe they popup on the screen very quickly then disappear. Like I said, obviously have no idea what I'm doing here and definitely willing to compensate anyone willing to help out for their time and efforts

Thanks!

I'm currently running CWM v5.5.0.4 and Virtuous Prime 9.4.2.15 v2
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JPxM0Dz:
lol no one wants to touch this one eh?

No worries! I'll pickup another Prime and throw this one in the closet :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] paddycr:
This might be a really dumb question but are you opening adb from Command Prompt? If you double click on either adb.exe or fastboot.exe from Windows they do open and close really quickly. If you open Command Prompt to navigate to wherever your file is using the cd command (so "cd path/to adb"; obviously put your own path in!). Then type "adb" and the sucker should open. Once adb is open all you have to do is cut and paste Diamondback's commands into adb. I think that the boot.img attached to the OP that you are pushing to the sd card has to be in the same folder as adb in Windows (I might be wrong on this but I am sure someone more knowledgeable will correct me).

Sorry if I have misinterpreted your question (noob warning!). Hope that helps and good luck with the debricking.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JPxM0Dz:
Yeah I did try this, but I think I've been entering in the wrong path location.

I will try throwing everthing into a folder on desktop and retry

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] downshift1:
For those who have been having issues with the adb not seeing your device with either the Asus or the naked drivers I had the same issue.

I ended up doing it the old fashioned way (aka the long way) by actually installing the SDK tools step by step. It was the only way I could get it to recognize my 1a bricked device after hours of trying a dozen different drivers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JPxM0Dz:

UPDATE

I am able to do adb push but pretty sure the second command isn't working because it just hangs at the Epad screen. Since its a kernel issue shouldn't I be able to flash a new kernel and fix it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JPxM0Dz:
Try reinstalling SDK step by step, someone mentioned earlier that that was the only way they could get sdk shell to recognize device.

Plus you might want to seek out other resources, I doubt you get much help here...

Unbrick your Transformer Prime (or not)

Hi,

I get my Prime on the 0x4 error ("unrecoverable bootloader error") :mad:. I believe that no update yet for unbrick :confused:. There is someone which is trying to develop this fix? Or I should directly go to ASUS?

Thank you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tedr108:
You do not push the image file with CWM ... you push it from the command prompt on your PC. When the OP says go to CWM, it only means to have your Prime up and running with CWM active, so that your PC can see your device in adb.

The adb push boot.img /sdcard/ command is all done from the PC's command prompt. This exact command will work, if you have boot.img in the same folder as adb.exe. Once this push completes, it's on to adb shell, etc, etc...as shown in the OP.

Your Prime will be back up and running in no time!

(P.S.) If you get an "adb command not found" sort of message, just do the cd command at the prompt and point yourself to the same directory where adb is located. You'll have to do something like cd c:\android\android-sdk\platform-tools -- don't know the exact directory name where adb.exe is. Then adb will run fine.

Brick Option 2 "HELP"

Count me in for Brick Option two.

Had latest CWM Premium installed with Virtious Primetime 4.5. Powered off, then "vol-with pwr", wiped data and proceeded with Asus orginal 9.4.2.15 (US) rom. The device rebooted with three icons, Wipe, USB and Android, but in the upper left corner there was thee lines of text in red below the CWM lines of text. Cannot remember what they said but they did not look good.

Now I get "Unrecoverable Bootloader Error 0x00000004". Strange thing is if I "vol+pwr" I can feel the little "bzzz" but nothing ever displays.

I am looking at an Asus RMA?

However after reboot I got stuck at "signature mismatch" "unrecoverable bootloader" 0x0000008 Error.

Now I only ca get into the "asus" boot option. Wipe data or cold boot - Well none of both works!

But I have to say:

Thank you Asus for giving as a crappy unlocked bootloader system, otherwise I would never have gotten such a great looking paper weight!

Tell me about. I thought I was screwed because of installing the unlock tool. I argued that regardless of the unlock tool the very poor wifi/gps issue still would exist with or with out the unlock tool.

Told them that I wanted a unit that did not have issues with wifi/gps and pointed out that the TF700/Infinity. Basically played the whole "The TF201 is nothing more than a over priced pad of paper"

So after about 20-25 minutes they agreed to swap me with the F700/Infinity. The did say however that I would not get the unit until the middle of next month, which I think would be about the same if I was just getting another TF201.

My old Tf201 was shipped out yesterday via UPS overnight. I did have to pay for the shipping, but is well worth it if I am getting the TF700/Infinity.

Your Prime will boot normally, right? If so, you probably missed the "unlock" step. You will not be able to install CWM correctly without unlocking your bootloader with the Asus Unlock .apk ... you also give up your warranty at that point. Anyway, unlock and do the CWM step again...

Never heard anything about C20s not working, so I may have missed something there.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] androidxen:
SPOKE TOO SOON. Forgot that if you didn't press Volume-Up and opted for Asus' own mini-bootloader, or whatever it is, you can select a wipe option from there that overrides the encryption...

Just in case people wanted to know, I then adb pushed the available stock ROM from Jermaine(?) into the sdcard and then everything was clear from there.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think I messed mine pretty bad...

1. Started by flashing Virtuous on it.

2. I decided to be stupid and encrypt the tablet. I immediately had second thoughts, and went for the normal factory reset from within the OS.

3. That always sends the tablet to CWM Recovery, but doesn't actually go through the format (as I found out when I formatted the original ROM before Virtuous), so I selected "wipe data/factory reset".

4. I get "Error mounting /data!", I presume, due to encryption?

5. I also can't access my sdcard from recovery.

6. Here's my second stupid mistake: I wiped /system...

I thought it was hardbricked (bootloop to spash screen), until I was able to get back into CWM by holding down Volume_Down and the Power button as suggested in Option 3 on OP.

Any way I can fix this mess? ADB commands to wipe or anything? I know there's the fastboot way, but we don't have that working yet on the Prime.
