[Transformer TF300T Android Development] TerrorCandii:
I don't have any moded recovery installed. No rom manager, nothing flashed. Just wanted to see stock recovery setup..only to get the android laying on his back. Any ideas? Help much appreciated.

TerrorCandii Gaming uses ASUS/Samsung.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Thing O Doom:
The android with the ! point is stock recovery for ASUS tablets, it isn't very useful. It only does anything if a verified Update.zip for your tab is on the root of the MicroSD or Internal storage.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] TerrorCandii:
Thanks man, I thought something was wrong with my tablet. "Sigh" Lol....can't wait till Team Win stables their recovery on that note.

I keep reading no one can restore stock from it, and even then people are having issues...only to have to end up clicking a link to fix their problems. Doesn't sound finished. Missing something?

Unfortunately, we're still waiting for a recovery.log of this issue and/or someone to come by our irc channel so we can help to debug it. Neither I, nor anyone else on the team has a tf300, so it's very difficult/impossible for us to fix this without some more information. I can flash stock roms just fine on the tf prime so this is a device specific issue.

Ideally if there's a tf300 developer that can help maintain this then that would be preferred and we can help with the details, otherwise we may consider dropping future support if we can't get the community help :(.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Drgravy:
Backup and restore works fine

Just flash the original rom that you backed up

Then restore the backup

And your good to go:)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mikaole:
Unfortunately i am not a def, but if I would love to help in any way, just give me a PN and tell me what you need after I try to flash the stock and I am pleased to help such an amazing Team.

BTW, I am not able to join you on IRC
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] TerrorCandii:
I have you recovery on my T989, and please don't drop support. I want your recovery on my TF300. I'll help any way I can. I was more so just afraid to brick my new tablet, you know...Lol. Let me know what I can do, and I'll troop along. Best recovery I've flashed in years.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] TerrorCandii:
I finally broke....unlocked my bootloader, and flashed your recovery. As always I get the pleasure of seeing that opening screen. Backed up my current stock rom, wiped everything twice, and flashed AOKP .40 alongside Gapps. All seems to have went perfectly. Willing to wipe and flash back to see if stock will recover properly. Just waiting for the rom to settle, before rebooting and flashing back. Will report, and maybe stop by the IRC channel to help. I'll try and get the log as well.

in this recovery should I be able to access the internal sd card from windows? and or is it something I need 2 do so I can access it? If not... im in trouble.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mikaole:
as far as i know, no you can´t acces the internal.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] aostl:
Goo manager said I have this flashed but I get the android with red arrow recovery.. Anybody successfully use that method?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pjc21:
Yes I can confirm that 2.5.0.0-4.2 has fixed the unable to mount issue in twrp with my sandisk 64gb micro SDXC UHC-1 class 10 card, I have tested in both exfat and fat32 and all good.

Just to clarify, twrp 2.4.4.0-4.2 was unable to mount this card but it mounted fine in android and on pc without issue. This card would also mount fine on a non-4.2 twrp (twrp 2.4.4.0 & 4.1 - 10.4.2.20 bootloader) but for some reason on the 4.2 - 10.6.1.8 bootloader with twrp 2.4.4.0-4.2 it would just not mount. I'm now on 4.2 - 10.6.1.15.3 bootloader & twrp 2.5.0.0-4.2 and have not had any issues mounting this card in twrp.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] funnel71:
Same here, have same exact card. All is good since the update.

I just flashed the newest version of TWRP on my tablet but it seems to be broken. It takes a long time to get in to TWRP and then the screen gets split in two and you don't know what you are pressing sense the screen is split.

I flashed with fastboot JB version for 4.2 bootloaders...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
You need to update to the latest version of the 4.2bootloader to be able to use 2.5 .

Enviado do meu ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T, usando o Tapatalk 2.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Lirkaren:
Can I flash the bootloaders with fastboot easy (noob) or do I need to flash back to TWRP 2.4, flash the newest rom, and then flash back to TWRP 2.5?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] funnel71:
The recovery must match the current bootloader installed. If you're on the old jb bootloader, then use the twrp version with jb in the filename. If on the new 4.2 bootloader use the one with 4.2 in the name. Twrp 4.5.0.0 has both jb and 4.2 available, so YES you can use 4.5.0.0 on either bootloader. Just be sure to load the right one.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Lirkaren:
I have 4.2 bootloaders and i flashed the one that ended with -4.2

With 4.2 bootloader you don't have the usb option when you hold volume down + power, only 3 options wich I hav, I might be wrong...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] funnel71:
Correct

You are correct. The 4.2 bootloader does not have the USB icon. You no longer need it. If you plug the tablet into a PC with the bootloader menu showing, you automatically go into fastboot mode without the need to select the USB icon.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Lirkaren:
Then I flashed the right TWPR. But how come it is messed up on my tablet? Is there som newer version of the 4.2 bootloaders that I need to flash before I can flash TWRP for 4.2 BL?

Should I flash the TWRP for 4.2 BL again and see if it works like it should after that?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] funnel71:
I would flash the latest 4.2 ROM, and when done, flash 4.5.0.0-4.2 twrp recovery. That should take care of it.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Lirkaren:
But how do I flash the latest official 4.2 rom with a broken recovery?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] funnel71:
If you have a PC, use fastboot to flash the ROM to /system.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Lirkaren:
Sound hard for a noob but I will search for a good guide.

Isn't it easier to flash TWRP 2.4.x with fastboot and then flash the rom in TWRP?

EDIT: How do I know wich firmware to download? I live in Sweden...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] EndlessDissent:
Which version of the 4.2 bootloader are you on? If you're on the original one (10.6.1.8), you need to use TWRP 2.4.4.0-42. There is a bug in the 10.6.1.8 firmware that causes a double screen with 2.5.0.0-42. The bug was fixed in OTA 10.6.1.15.3, so when you get that OTA flashed, TWRP 2.5.0.0-42 should work fine.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] funnel71:
Yes you could do that too, but just note flashing recovery and a ROM with fastboot is pretty much the same, except with recovery you are flashing recovery, where with a ROM you're flashing system. Your choice. Both approaches should work.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Lirkaren:
How can I check my bootloader version?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] EndlessDissent:
Boot into the bootloader. It should tell you in the top left corner.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Lirkaren:
EDIT:

Version

TF300 CleanRom Inheritance 4.0 - 10.6.1.8/WW DEODEX

So I guess I am on 10.6.1.8?

EDIT 2:

"WW_epad-10.6.1.8"

Then I flash TWRP 2.4.4.0-42, latest Asus FW (wich one do I flash? I live in Sweden) and after that I flash TWRP 2.5 and it should work?

Do I need Androis SDK to use fastboot? I just formated my PC and I don't know if I had it before or not...

EDIT 3: Idownloaded fastboot and tried to flash TWRP but it is stuck at "Sending recovery" Should I just pull the usb plug?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Lirkaren:
Anyone know why it won't flash the recovery with fastboot?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Lirkaren:
TWRP still won't flash on my device, it gets stuck on "sending recovery"
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
That is not your bootloader version that is your ROM version.

To see your bootloader version hold down power and volume down and you will boot into the bootloader. The version is in the top left.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] EndlessDissent:
Actually,

1. If his OTA version is 10.6.1.8, it's most likely his bootloader version, too.

2. The value he put in "Edit 2" is his bootloader version. That's the format it's always in. Usually you see it surrounded by other stuff, somewhere near "cardhu-user", so it's not instantly recognizable on its own.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Lirkaren:
I did that and I wrote what it said in one of my edits. "WW_epad-10.6.1.8"

But I still can't flash TWRP, it get's stuck on "sending recovery".
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Sounds like either you are not in fast boot mode on the tab or you don't have the correct as adb USB drivers installed.

What happens when you type adb devices?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Lirkaren:
Theres no devices if I type that, but in under devices in Windows I have a fastboot device. USB drivers?

EDIT: I didn't have debug turned on on the tablet...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] desarenezitic:
Hey new to TF300T not new to rooting / flashing etc. I have a pre-owned TF300T which has TWRP 2.3.1.0 installed and I want to update to 2.5.0.0 so I can flash a new ROM (CM 10.1 currently installed). I have used the following commands to try flash a new recovery (yes I got the latest one for my bootloader which is 4.1 so -JB at end):

cd C:\tools\android-sdk\platform-tools\
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img

This seems to work, it sends recovery, writes recovery and finishes all in just under 6 seconds. Then I try to reboot with:

fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

It says it is rebooting but nothing happens.

I am sure I have drivers installed and my device shows correctly in Device Manager. I've tried this on my Windows 7 machine at work and my creaky old XP laptop which I'm on now. What am I missing??
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
I'm pretty sure you have to use a blob to flash via fast boot. Download the blob file and rename to twrp.blob then try this

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] desarenezitic:
OK thanks I'll try that although I managed to wipe the OS from my tablet in the process so have other issues going on too!!!

EDIT: Installed TWRP 2.5.0.0 using the above method thanks, now to try flash a ROM to get my android back!

Unfortunately I think you have the wrong twrp / bootloader version installed.

Which bootloader are you using? I hope you haven't bricked?

Do you speak English?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] technology.andrea:
purtroppo non parlo inglese...mi spiace

avevo installato sul mio Asus TF300t

recovery 2.4.4.0

pero' non riuscivo ad installare nessuna rom

ora ho installato questa recovery 2.5.0.0

ma chiede la password e non so quale sia

dove posso scaricare la recovery twrp 2.5.0.0 .blob ?

quella che ho installato io e' la seguente

unica rom che sono riuscito ad installare con la recovery 2.4.4 e' questa CROMI-Xenogenesis 4.6.5

qualsiasi altra rom si blocca sulla schermata ASUS

P.S. ok,scaricata un'altra versione di TWRP 2.5.0.0. e la pasword non la chiede piu'...ora provo ad installare una rom e vediamo se funziona

Could someone give me some advice on trying to flash TWRP for my TF300T running 4.2.1? I booted holding VOL-DOWN + POWER but I don't have a USB icon like everyone else seems to have. Is there a different method for flashing on a device running 4.2.1? I'm completely stock except the tablet is unlocked.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] CBank:
Once on 4.2.1 bootloader, the device will be in fastboot mode while in the bootloader. You dont have to press that button anymore, just connect it to your pc.

Make sure that you have gotten the right version of TWRP, because if you don't you may end up with a brick.

You will want twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob

The -4.2 is the important part

There are very good tutorials in the general section
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] tmihai20:
Can we, the TG300TG owners, expect a -4.2 version for our tablets? It's been more than 2 months since 4.2.1 made its way on the market.

Well there is a compatible version out there as guys have been flashing my rom on the TF300TG ...... :confused:
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] tmihai20:
I asked in a few other threads some time ago. What version is it? Is the 4.2 TF300T recovery compatible with the TF300TG?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] chrismine:
I have it on my TF300TG . In some other thread a single person said you may brick tablet when doing a Dalvik cache wipe, don't know if true, maybe you should be aware of it, but I have no problems thus far....
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] tmihai20:
So you cleared Dalvik cache without any issues?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] chrismine:
I have done a Wipe Dalvik yes BUT from within an paid for app called Super Tuner Pro - One-click - Wipe dalvik and .

It ask me to reboot and then do Android is upgrading.....

Optimizing app 30 of 92...

NOT from within TWRP, it may be different have not done it yet.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Why would clearing dalvik-cache brick the device? That makes no sense. Dalvik is just a folder in /data. It get's rebuilt if you wipe it...... Where have you heard this from? Source please.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] tmihai20:
I have took a leap of faith, flashed the -42 2.5.0.0 TWRP, backed up as many apps I could (using the Appl Backup and Titanium Backup), copied the zip with the update on the SD card, installed it via the new recovery and if booted properly. I hope recovery is not bricked, since I didn't reboot into recovery after upgrading to 4.2.1. I am currently installing my apps. Hopefully all goes well until the end.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] sbdags:
Well that is a factory or data wipe - entirely different to a dalvik cache wipe.

Anyway that wipe only bricks if you have the wrong version of TWRP for your bootloader.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] tmihai20:
Apparently, I am with the stock recovery. I guess I wanted it then a broken TWRP. Waiting patiently for the update, it works fine now.

Edit Monday 17th of June 2013: I also managed to root my tablet with the motochopper exploit on Ubuntu 12.04 on the stock recovery. This also doesn't need an unlocked bootloader.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] chrismine:
Thanks for clearing it up.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] koko008:
Help me, please, I'm desperate. I have unlocked my device, and flashed the correct version of TWRP for 4.2 bootloader. I wanted to flash a cm10.1 nightly, but didn't go well... First, didn't succeed to check MD5, but it said succes for the flash. After the flash, I did a factory reset, wiped cache and dalvik, and rebooted. The reboot hang for almost half an hour, so I booted to TWRP via bootloader with power + volume down. I did anoter factory reset, just to be sure, and when I wanted to reboot, TWRP prompted, that no OS is installed. WTF??? I tried it with two other ROMs, no success.

I did look for an answer, yes, but it seems to elude me, if there's one. Can I do anything to resolve this issue? Is it TWRP related, or something else?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] desarenezitic:
Just flash your ROM again. You always wipe data and then flash. Just double check your ROM is for your bootloader also.

I had the no OS installed thing last week and flashing a ROM solved it.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] EndlessDissent:
2.5.0.0-42 requires the 10.6.1.15.3 update. If you have anything less, like 10.6.1.8, there's a bug that causes a double-screen recovery with 2.5.0.0.

So, your choices right now are to either update to the newest OTA, or stay on 2.4.4.0.

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pyraxiate:
Why is it that 2.5.5.0-42 allows me to backup my recovery partition.... but doesnt give me the option to restore recovery? I was originally running Cromi for the 4.1 BL / along with the correct twrp, but decided to try his latest version which required the 4.2 BL / Recovery. I know for sure that I backed up all 5 partitions ( /boot /system /cache /data /recovery ) for both of the builds. I decided I didnt like 4.2 and wanted to revert using my backup, but recovery isnt listed as a partition. I know we cant mix/match recovery / BL. What gives?? Now I have to use a computer to downgrade / reinstall twrp for 4.1!

I think we need a zip with twrp and a matched bootloader to make things easier when we are inside of a recovery..... Tethering to a computer every single time we want to play around with different roms is a pain. All we would need would be two zips. One with a 4.2 BL and twrp 2.5.5.0-42, and one for 4.1. That way if a rom wants a 4.2BL, we could flash a zip, reboot into recovery, and flash a rom. Once the proper recovery is in plae with a matched BL, it should be easy to upgrade / downgrade versions of JB BL or ICS BL paired to it.

It would also make the tablet a little more friendly for the users who dont know as much and may otherwise brick a device. A ROM dev could say .... " flash this, then reboot into recovery, flash my rom and profit " . It would alleviate the some of the risk associated with making sure the bootloader is matched as it would already be in place .

Another thing ...just in case members of twrp do look at threads like these..... please add recovery back as a reboot option. :)

[Transformer TF300T Android Development] pyraxiate:
2.6 seems to be working with no issues. If you are just starting to root / mod your tablet... please pay attention to what bootloaders work on what roms and recoveries. You need a 4.1 Bootloader to make 2.6 work as there isnt a JB 4.2 twrp 2.6 yet that I saw.

That means you need to downgrade your tablet most likely. Its easy and the guides here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1697227 will help you a ton.
