your internal sdcard is actually /data/media/ if you do a factory reset /data/ will get wiped

using the external sdcard gives you an option to move the card to a computer and copy

files to it and save your self from a brick, and it has saved my ass a few times.

Ok, that's diferent than cwr 5.x.x.x and nexus. Maybe is better for backups... Ok thanks

Anybody has problems to flash any rom?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] funnel71:
Hi, so I followed that guide and I ran into the same. I put the zip on internal storage, but cwm doesn't see it and refuses to mount /sdcard. Do I need a removable card for this, because I don't think the guide said that, just making sure before I proceed.

Disregard, answered my own question. Found an old 512mb card to use for this. Worked great.

when I run the format command from the ROM's install script this is the error produced

script aborted: format() expects 5 args, got 4
format() expects 5 args, got 4
E:Error in /sdcard/root_update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

this is the declaration for the format function from the android-4.1.1_r4 branch in the Android repository

// format(fs_type, partition_type, location, fs_size, mount_point)
//
// fs_type="yaffs2" partition_type="MTD" location=partition fs_size=<bytes> mount_point=<location>
// fs_type="ext4" partition_type="EMMC" location=device fs_size=<bytes> mount_point=<location>
// if fs_size == 0, then make_ext4fs uses the entire partition.
// if fs_size > 0, that is the size to use
// if fs_size < 0, then reserve that many bytes at the end of the partition

the ROM dev also recommends using TWRP so you should use TWRP.

Did you get the Jelly Bean update? it should come out of the box with Ice Cream Sandwich. Jelly Bean recoveries don't work with

ICS ROM's and ICS recoveries don't work with Jelly Bean ROM's many many many bricks have happened because of this, be careful

I would not even let the tablet boot until you have a working recovery installed.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] bradackman:
Yes I have taken the update and Fastboot files + JB recovery just trying to get it right hasn't worked yet
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] untermensch:
did you take the update before or after unlocking the bootloader? was it OTA or downloaded from the ASUS website?

you could try "fastboot -i 0x0b05 erase recovery" and try to install the JB recovery again, if that does not work try an

ICS recovery.

EDIT:

I have uploaded the blob form the JB OTA it has recovery, boot, bootloader in it. so you can go back to the stock recovery if needed

http://www.mediafire.com/?o5eo0u6wbl5ell9
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] bradackman:
ok I will try again but I took the update then unlocked. Ok now I erased it
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] untermensch:
I sounds like you did every thing right, could have been a glitch while the update was installing tho

I posted the blob from the OTA a few posts back, if all else fails you could try the stock recovery

and re-install the update by downloading it from the ASUS website only AFTER you have the

stock recovery working. also make sure you have the correct model of tablet should say TF300T

on a sticker by the usb port.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] lazer9:
I think I used an original version of this to move from ICS to Asus download of JB, then flashed the "signed root" to gain root, then installed Seanz updated Hydro for JB Rom. If I recall, the only option(s) were to have the files on the External storage which is what I did in order to locate them and flash.

Does this mean t his CWM 6.0.1.2 has been revised and I should start the process over to upgrade to the new revision for future usage?

Thanks. I think the original one I used was 2 days ago and I see an edit/revision has been made in the past 12 hours? Is that correct?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] keynith:
To upgrade just use fastboot. Easy
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] Turbojugend:
I just installed Seanz JB rom without flashing the root, from stock, and I am fully rooted. I think most custom roms are already rooted so you can skip that step.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] naddie:
I used the CWM-Touch.blob recovery on your original post and the root zip file on the stock JB ROM, and everything works great.

However, once I downloaded and flashed any of the CM10 nightlies, I would be staring at the Asus logo. I can still boot into recovery, but even restoring the Stock JB from a CWM backup, I am still staring at the Asus logo. And yes, it's for the correct model (TF300T, not TF101 or anything else).

The only way to fix it is to restore back to 100% stock JB (from Asus' support page) using fastboot. I can then flash CWM-Touch.blob and root it again.

I thought the CM10 ROM was a bad download - downloaded again (a newer nightly came out, so it's a different file, too), used CWM-Touch to flash, and... Asus logo.

Did Asus change the bootloader in the new JB ROM? The bootloader to select fastboot mode is different from when it was ICS (now you have a row of icons, making it easier to go to recovery, fastboot, Cold-boot Linux [dunno what this is], and wipe data). I don't recall those 4 rows of icons before the upgrade.

Update: After restoring to 100% stock JB and flashing the CWM recovery (and verifying it boots first), I then restored my previous stock JB backup, and it worked (where it used to just stay on the Asus logo after the CM10 was flashed).

Something with CM10 is messing up the boot process for not only itself, but also with the stock JB backups! Does anyone know what's going on here?

PS: Forgot to mention I always do a clean wipe (delete Dalvik Cache, format /data, /cache, and /system)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] mikaole:
New bootloader new kernel. No going back to old Roms Roms.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] naddie:
When you mean "old ROMs", does that include CM10, which is also JB?

Edit: with your statement, I had a better idea of what to search for, and finally found this in the TF300T CM10 thread:

Hi guys, I think I found a bug in this recovery:

going into recovery and doing wipe data and after rebooting the device, it will stuck the boot...

but if it did the factory data reset from settings ==> Backup and Restore, all ok ..

Found too?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] herschwolf:
If you are "wiping data" that is all you are doing. This means you are formatting the partitions to clear the ROM and Data (depending on what you choose). If you do a factory reset, the system restores the device to an original like factory condition wiping out the "Data" partition only and leaving the "System" and the ROM alone.

Got everything running, still on JB OTA, but it seems that Wifi is gone!

I cannot enable it anymore, even after a few reboots...

It started after unlocking bootloader and rooting the device, so it's difficult to know what exactly is the culprit.

I hope it will in the near future!

Maybe here? But I'm not sure and just recommend you TWRP (they have a ICS version :good:)
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] opethfan89:
Yea I downloaded my recovery from there, but I have a haunting suspicion the JB recovery will brick my tablet if I use it on ICS (common sense would dictate so). But I know I had heard about a touch version for ICS so I didn't know if there was any update on it.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] untermensch:
I am suck on the JB bootloader so I cannot test this, this is CWM touch with an ICS kernel
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] -angel*:
I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about - it's clear a wrong recoery can damage your device, but as you can look up your bootloader (or just OS) this shouldn't be the case :eek:

IF YOU INSTALL THIS RECOVERY BEFORE APPLYING THE OFFICIAL ASUS JELLY

BEAN UPDATE YOU WILL BE UNRECOVERABLY BRICKED WITHOUT EXCEPTION

quote from first post...
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] opethfan89:
Thanks for reitterating that point, angel. My question was if there was a version of CWM Touch available for ICS, so it's logical to deduce that I'm still on the ICS bootloader.

That being said, is it known for sure if the recovery posted by untermensch works for sure on the ICS bootloader? I'd hate to brick myself.

If I do decide to test it out, can I use NVFlash first and backup my bootloader and then try it, just to be safe? Will NVFlash allow me to go back to the ICS bootloader after (potentially) flashing something from JB, or does the JB bootloader completely lock you in and screw you over?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] lawsonmh15:
So, this one won't brick the tablet if I haven't taken the JB OTA?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] kjwaugh:
No Going Back

I would not experiment or make assumptions. Currently there is no going back - you can fiddle with Recoveries if you like, but most people will be installing one for ICS only or JB only because they are installing ROMs. There is no technical advantage to having the most current iteration if the one you have does what it's supposed to do. Upgrading CWM from 12 to 13 after going to JB has involved some functionality enhancements but we were able to flash ROMs and wipe no problem with both. I have not bothered to go to CWM 14 and have not felt the lack of anything. Read the OP and further on you find that one version allowed installing ROMs from external SD cards only, later it was possible to flash once more from both Internal and External that's really the only difference.
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] opethfan89:
I didn't even know CWM was that high? Last I checked it was 5.5.0.4 for ICS, 6.0.1.3 for the JB version of CWM.

So, long story short, there is NOT a CWM TOUCH recovery for ICS? It just wasn't made at all? Can I try the one posted untermensch with confidence?
[Transformer TF300T Android Development] opethfan89:
This is an old thread but I wanted to VERIFY THAT THIS CWM DOES WORK.

Again, I have a recently-unlocked TF300T (blue, 32GB, starting with serial # C9) and i just flashed this CWM recovery (v6.0.1.4). it does indeed work, and is pretty awesome having a touch recovery w/ support for external SD card.

Hope this helps anyone in the future.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ericshmerick:
I have a GSM RAZR MAXX I got from eBay (new in box). It's nice and I think I will keep it and sell my GNEX. It's from Puerto Rico (Claro network?) and is stuck on 2.3.6. After using Jelly Bean on my Nexus, I at least want ICS as Gingerbread feels very old.

I'm not familiar with Motorolas and their ROMs. That said, what's my best option for ICS today? Wait for the ever-elusive OTA? Flash an ICS ROM? If flashing is the best option, which ROM would fit this model? I am not sure if it's the Latin America version or what. I don't want to root...just get 4.0.4.

What's the best bet for a solid daily driver?

Thanks.

Edit: I am very familiar with ROMS/Rooting on the Nexus, just not Motorola, if that helps. I know how to flash, etc, but am not sure if the process is exactly the same for Moto as compared to the Nexus. I know I can search for how-to's, and my question is more of "what are my options" - wait on OTA or just flash, and if it's just flash, which ROM is best?

Edit2: I've done the clear google services framework, CHECKIN, etc, to no avail. The OTA just hasn't been released and of course there is 0 information from google on this particular flavor of RAZR MAXX.

Could I use any of those ROMs on a Puerto Rican device? If I were to pick one that I feel would suit me best, it would probably be the latest version from any listed in your post. It certainly doesn't have to be a Latin American ROM unless that's all that will work with the hardware.
