ClockworkMod Recovery for the Transformer Prime TF201​

NEW: Repack of Koush's clockworkmod recoveries to prevent a recovery loop when using ROMS that support reboot to recovery.

These recoveries are not mine and I take no credit for them. I only made a small change to the official recoveries found here

and repacked them into update.zip files.

Here is a diff of my somewhat hacky change, but hey it works!

I also replaced the CWM top hat icon to avoid confusing my repacked recovery with the original version.

I am not responsible for any loss of data or any harm caused by using these recoveries especially if small kittens are involved.

IN CASE YOU FIND YOURSELF HERE AS A RESULT OF HAVING A RECOVERY LOOP OR RECOVERY DOESN'T SEEM TO BE UPDATING PLEASE USE THE COMMAND BELOW

Run the following command from your PC then reboot and any new recovery should be flashed by the bootloader and then android should boot.

adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 count=13

Just in case you missed big red bold line, please read it before posting about recovery not updating or not being able to get out of recovery!

Thx Roach!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] paddycr:
Thanks for this Roach. This might be a really obvious question but I take it that the reboot to recovery option will have to be enabled by devs? I am using AOKP and the reboot to recovery option still just reboots the tablet after flashing this. Jermaine will have to enable this option in AKOP for it to work, right?

Thanks again. Btw, I am really excited to see what you and Team Eos do with your rom on the Prime :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Cool... thanks!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Roach2010:
Yeah, Here's my commit's to enable this on EOS in case it helps. I know it already works on the TF101 so it might just need to be added to your device tree assuming the libcutils work has already been merged to the AOKP repo.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Phoneguy589:
Thanks for putting this out. Works good. Ext-Sd would be cool but we'll let that dev try to update it. Thanks again to help us out!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gerald410:
Working great on Team Eos thx!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Excellent work Roach, well done. I plan on looking into trying to get SDcard (both micro and docked full size) and USB drive support up and running.

Don't hold your breath though anyone, I am extremely lazy. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Roach2010:
Thanks mate.

That would be great to see more features and storage support. I'm excited for the possibilities for the Prime and what we can all do for it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kizzle4:
Touch updated 4/16?

Curios as to if the touch recovery was updated today, and if it does in fact let you reboot from android into recovery.. Thanks.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
??? :confused: ????

What? Official CWM Touch is still listed as build 5.8.18 on Koush's website. Only new release is the KANG build in the OP (much appreciated by the way ;) ), and as of right now it only works on AOSP Rom.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mutiny:
This seriously needs to get stickied ASAP. I hope fellow Prime owners can appreciate that the devs coming to this part of the forums are some of the very best. :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
I'm having a bit of a problem... I'm in CWM, which is looping back into itself, and I cannot for the life of me figure out where to enter the code that you provided in the OP. My computer installed the ADB drivers just fine, but I can't see anything in which I can enter that code. Any assistance is appreciated.

Edit: Ok, I figured out that I'm supposed to enter that in the Command Prompt window, but every time I try running the command, I get the following:

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Any ideas?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
I'm really stuck on this, guys. If there is anyone who can help me out, I would be in your debt.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jermaine151:
Where did you install the adb/sdk files? You need to be in that directory to run the command. In otherwords, if you have adb installed in C:\tools, you need to do this from the command prompt before running the adb commands:

cd C:\tools
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
I feel like a total idiot, but I can't find where I installed the ADB files. I have a handful of ADB files from various android projects, but I don't know where the specific drivers for the TF201 are. Is there a way to re-download and install ADB?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jermaine151:
The drivers are installed. Adb is adb and not device specific. Do a search on your computer for adb.exe
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
Ok, I was able to get it figured out. I really appreciate the help.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] apascual89:
Yes, I'm running the latest EOS nightly and the reboot to recovery function from the power menu works. I can't speak for any other rom
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] newellj79:
I'm running jermaines latest aokp build and cannot boot to recovery from directly from the rom. No biggie.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
This only works on AOSP Rom for the time being.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jermaine151:
AOKP is AOSP. I just didn't add the change in because I don't want people caught in a recovery loop if they haven't installed this build of CWM.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mutiny:
Roach, is it possible to bring the softkeys recovery solarnz did for the Xoom? :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] malaeus:
hey, im having a recovery problem.

probably just stupid, but.

i root .15 firmware, use OTA rootkeeper and update to .21 while keeping root.

then i used rom manager to flash the latest CWM. it says its successful.

however if i reboot into recovery. it just gives me the dead android

do i have to be unlocked to get into recovery? my other tab is unlocked and all. and CWM works nicely.

this one i was able to root at .15 firmware instead of having to unlock and push CWM over fastboot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] banderos101:
As far as im aware, you cant install CWM on the prime right now without unlocking the bootloader first
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] malaeus:
thats what i was afraid of. well i guess it didnt actually replace the existing bootloader when rom manager said it was "successful"

oh well, thatll do :)

thank you very much
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
ROM manager only writes the img file in the staging partition: the successful is here. The real flash process occurs at next reboot when staging partition is read and its content written where it should be...

If you are locked this phase can't happen as the img file must be 'Asus certified and signed' to be flashed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Deathmo:
nevermind
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] acdcking12345:
So where can we put the rom.zip files on the internal sdcard so that when I do a reset and wipe cache, etc, I can still get to the rom.zip file to flash my TF 201 using CWM?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
Thank you. This fixed me too. Whew all i saw was an expensive paper weight.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] acdcking12345:
Is the touch recovery just as good as the regular one?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mutiny:
It's the same one with Roach's fix. Also, if you want to save your volume keys from future wear and tear, I highly recommend the touch version (although I use TWRP now). :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jermaine151:
If you guys get caught in a reboot to recovery loop, flash the file attached in this post and it should fix you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vicous707:
Hi my cwm was the 5.5.0.4 version and i flashed the touchscreen one on the this post and now i cant get into cwm. ill get stuck at the splash screen when it tells u to press up volume and when i do it freezes any help? Also i can use my prime fine but i just cant get into cwm no more.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
1/Install ROM manager app from market and use it to flash non touch latest recovery version.

2/ Grab the .img file of your desired recovery (twrp, touch recovery, standard one) and use terminal method described in Touch Recovery OP (method 2)

I guess you are rooted.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vicous707:
Where is this touch recovery op method 2 o.O

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

also when i use rom manager and flash the cwm recovery on the app it freezes and closes. ditto with the reboot into recovery option.

ok so i flashed to recovery from rom manager and guess what im in a CWM loop...im not sure as to how to put the fix on the int SD without getting the usb to mount cause everytime i try to mount usb it says "unable to open ums lunfile (no such file or directory)

hmmm
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
You must use fastboot to flash again cwm I think.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] LNKNPRKFN:
i cant get into fastboot cause it keeps going straight into recovery
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
Have you tried option 1a here?

i am in CWM but nothing can be done from here
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
Perhaps a matter of drivers, sometimes uninstall and reinstall drivers (naked universal drivers are good for that) can help.

Or you can try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1599991

Sorry, kind of a noob here. I am stuck in recovery loop and I don't understand how to flash if tf201 isn't able to access external sd in cwm recovery.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Have to put it on internal SD card, but since your'e already in a loop, you need to adb push it.... or better yet, see the unbrick sticky and issue the adb commands suggested in that OP, for the recovery loop problem.

Is that recovery will work in other phone, like HTC DESIRE?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
Are you thar noob?

NO !!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Tibs:
Im struggling with this one. I unlocked and flashed no probs. I get the wgite text at the top of the screen and can go into recovery mode. I then get a dead Andriod with a warning symbol. What have I done wrong ? Any help appreciated. Cheers

Tibs
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] omac_ranger:
That generally means you don't have a recovery set... Go to this post and follow step Number one. There you will be able to install the official recovery via Fastboot and then boot into it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lattera:
Looks like CWM 5.8.2.0 can't do a backup. CWM reports not being able to mount the backup partition. Anyone else get this? My tablet's encrypted and running stock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Striatum_bdr:
If you are encrypted... How can cwm access to anything if all is unreadable.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lattera:
Well, I didn't know if it would at least back up the unencrypted portions and/or use dd to create a byte-for-byte image of the encrypted portions.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mercydia:
THNkx will try!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] lattera:
It's looking like CWM can't mount the internal sd card. Any way to get it to do that?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kingvasudev:
excatly where on sd card....is it in the clock..folder or where........please
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] faizalr:
stuck in CWM recovery loop

Please help, I try my best to follow the instruction, using adb, however it seems there is an error: device not found.

Is there any effort should be done to solve this CWM recovery loop. really hope some one in xda can help me for this

Thanks you in advance for all your help
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mutiny:
There are a ton of posts on this. Search for Jermaine's loop fix zip. You can flash that instead of manually typing the dd command in adb and it will fix the loop for you.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] idcrisis:
Hi, where did you get the source for these recoveries and how'd you build them please ? Any indicators at all will do.

I'm looking to do this on some TF101 recoveries because all 5.5+ recoveries seem to be suffering from these bootloops.

So any pointers on where to get the soure and what to change and how to recompile them to work will be very welcome.

I don't know what all these recoveries are doing on the official index page when they so clearly cause problems.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] klutch:
i dont know if anyone has this problem but its bootlooping and the funny thing is that is not mounting or eather if i go trought adb remount comes out saying error: device not found and then again i have the universal naked drivers and still its not reading my TF201 any ideas why.. i want this to run back again :(:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
How are you accessing adb? The way I do it is open your SDK folder, single click platform tools to highlight it, press and hold shift and right click, and choose open command window here. It has worked for me and a couple of others aswell. Hope it helps you!

i mean i konw how to do all that but the tablet dosent want to mount neather automatic or manualy wont mount n still stuck on CWM because once its mount i need to flash the new version of CWM but not till i figure why its not doing the mount
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
Just sounds like the drivers arent working properly. Delete all of your htc drivers and install the naked drivers found HEREhttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20995229 Even if you already have delete what you have installed and reinstall these. Thats how I got it to work.

let me try that n check if anything ill update the post to see what happens

i installed the naked driver and still nothing its not mounting still wondering the cause of this now i get this (click the image) :confused::confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
I'm not trying to sound like an ass so please don't think I am. But it does look like you accessed adb the way I posted. I have had adb work with other devices by going through the windows start menu but not my prime. I had to acctually open the SDK folder and and do it the way I said in the other post in order to get it to work. If you have done it that way then I apologize. And did you delete the other drivers before loading the naked driver? Just trying to cover all the basics.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] klutch:
yes i did do it that way too still not catching it tho
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CharliesTheMan:
Make sure Asus sync and other programs like HTC sync aren't running in the background. When I fought my driver issue I ended up finding a program called droid explorer running in the task manager services menu, and once I killed it, and then killed Asus sync which had restarted itself, I was able to connect.

Also I went to the Android SDK manager and scrolled down to the bottom to the google drivers and reinstalled them.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] klutch:
i did that too didnt work eather i am trying to put the tablet in fastboot but its not letting me for some reason and it stull turns on eee pad n then CWM:confused:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] broad_st_bully:
does "Run the following command from your PC then reboot and any new recovery should be flashed by the bootloader and then android should boot." mean reboot the PC after this or reboot the Prime afterwards?? In other similar threads it says do NOT reboot the Prime just yet...does the Prime need to be connected to the PC for this to work?? Because with the usb attached it still can not read the Prime...and how would "a new recovery be flashed by the bootloader" if I can't get onto the Prime to put the recovery I downloaded onto the sd card??

I really appreciate the help but it would be great if instructions were a little more clear...especially when trying to unbrick a device...I mean....when you get to this thread looking for help the Prime is almost bricked...one wrong thing here and it's completely done...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CharliesTheMan:
You need to be connected to the PC to use ADB. As long as you have the drivers and ADB connects, even in this recovery loop you can run the ADB command. I ran the ADB command line and then used "adb reboot" to reboot the prime. At this time it will reboot into the rom. You can then power it down and power it back on while holding volume down to get to the bootloader, just don't press up for recovery in the first five seconds let it get past that.

You can then put it into fastboot with it plugged into the command, and run the appropriate command that is in the directions for it to flash the recovery image.

What I did with mine was run the command to unbrick with is the step in my first paragraph. But instead of fastboot flashing clockwork, I used the ViperMod tool version 4.6 to install TWRP 2.1 recovery. It's a little program like a four in one utility that you download and run on the computer, it has the drivers and everything packaged in the utility, and when you open the menu and have the prime connected, one of the options is to install TWRP recovery.

Then once you've installed that you will have a rock solid setup and can fastboot flash the CWM repackaged in the OP if you want.

I just thought I would pass that on since ADB and fastboot flashing is one of the things you're worried about, the ViperMod tool would help you to get back to solid and not have to worry about the "brick 1a"

Send me a PM if you would like and when I'm not busy at the office I can remote in to your computer and be there to help out or answer questions if you need me to.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] broad_st_bully:
you have to open the command prompt wherever you have ADB installed...most likely on the C drive...at least that's how I finally got it to work......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] louvass:
I flashed the touch version and can't get into recovery now ? any help ? Just sits at booting into recovery kernal image any suggestions
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
How are you accessing it? The power menu option does not work on some roms. Try the power off then power and volume down til it comes up the volume up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] louvass:
Yea that's what I do.. I'll try the ADB mentioned in the OP...naaaa I can't even do that cause I can't get to recovery to flash anything ADB is only option to just blow it out I guess.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
Try twrp very easy install. Sorry guys dont mean to thread jump or take away from the work here. Download goomanager beta from the market. Open it and goto menu and choose install open recovery script. Then confirm install and voila.

I see alot of people are having this issue, and some have fixed it and some not, i have read tons of forums and tried many things and no luck. So i have a tf201 and its stuck in the clockwork loop. i install CM 10 and it install fine, and then went to flash the programs for it and when i rebooted it got stuck in the loop. its CW 5.8.1.8, i know a little about adb, and tried it but it keeps saying device not found. i have tired it on a win 7 and win xp machine. and no luck, i have tired 3 or 4 different drivers including the universal one eveyrone says to try. and nothing. i am out of ideas. Please help, i am out of town on business for 3 weeks and need to get this going asap. i have wiped, flashed, restored and nothing, if i can get the pc to connect to it i would be fine i think, i see it in device manager but not connecting via adb. thanks

[MENTION=1184203]Roach2010[/MENTION] So, I followed the procedure with the flash zip from recovery. I think my device turned onto paperweight. I'm stuck on ASUS screen with UnLocked upper left and Powered by nVidia on lower right. I can't execute adb or fastboot commands, only booting on APX mode. The problem is I didn't enable NVflash and I don't have blobs from my device. How do you explain this?

This is definitely an old thread. I would recommend twrp for this device. Not trying to take away from the device here but when I had the prime twrp seemed to work better in my opinion.
