Any specific directory the file needs to be in? Why can't this just be a flashable zip file?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
It would be a bit counter-productive if you needed a custom recovery to install a custom recovery.
[Asus Transformer TF700] JoJoDaClown:
Except you're using your custom recovery to update itself, via flashable zip. This is how it's done with my Nexus phone. Not sure why it can't be done here. Just need someone capable of creating a flashable zip update.

Hello,

;)

Sorry, but I've got some "little" trouble to install recovery-jb-644.img on my TF700T.

I'm connected in USB between my win7 & my Asus

USB debog is activated.

I've copied the repertory Fastboot at the root of my c: (=> c:\Fastboot) which contains recovery-jb-644.img.

When I restart the tab with vol down + power, I've got 3 icons on the screen : RCK, Android & wipe Data...

RCK tries to install an update (!?)

Android restarts the tab after a few seconds.

Wipe data...U know what it does!!!

Do u have an idea to help me :confused:

:angel:

PS : other question : do you know if there is an USB connector which can charge the battery ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
Fastboot is automatically running once you hit the bootloader screen. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] eleger91:
:cyclops:

Sorry, but I'm not certain to understand how to install the CWM file with that tab.

;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Once you see the 3 icons you are in the bootloader menu and in fastboot mode.

Type: fastboot devices

If that returns the serial number of your tablet your fastboot drivers are working.

Then just type the commands from the OP under "Instructions" to flash the recovery image.
[Asus Transformer TF700] eleger91:
Sorry again, but as I don't use fluently english, I'm not certain to understand clearly the procedure to follow.

1. Shall I type the 3 commands shown in the 1st post or just the 2 first (because after the 2de one, the tab has rebooted) ?

2. When I open the tab with vol down + power, I choose RCK with vol up, vol up a 2d time, it write an update installation and an error message !?

:cyclops: ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] RedSkyRoad:
I see something about 6.0.4.6 on the nightly commits... Will this be available soon?

[Asus Transformer TF700] JoJoDaClown:
how to install using emulator

I had to figure this out for myself since the OP is not very clear. Please like the post so it gets highlighted on the right side under most liked recently so others can get to it. Or even better, OP please add detail to first post.

Download the update (the line of code I'll provide will assume that to downloads to your download folder)

Go to the terminal emulator app.

Type "SU" to request super user privileges.

To explain the line of code, it's two parts. The first half finds the file in the directory you command, and if it's there, it proceeds to the next command of writing to the recovery block. Essentially, the first part you can mess up and it won't be able to find the directory. If you mistype the second part, it will write to the wrong block, if such a block existed, and then you've hosed up your tablet.

Line of code:

dd if=/storage/sdcard0/download/recovery-kk-6046.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

The file will load the block, then you must type one more command:

"Reboot recovery" (if you don't reboot via this command, the operation won't be completed and you won't update the recovery)

I hope this helps. With this you don't need a PC to connect to or any other software.

Standard disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any problems you encounter.

How long does it take to fastboot the recovery?

Hi all,

Fasboot was ready:

C:\Temp\CWR_Install>fastboot devices

015d2a508467f605 fastboot

I ran:

C:\Temp\CWR_Install>fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery-kk-6046.img

And now I have been waiting for 30 minutes, how long should it take?

Thanks,

The device (TF700T) is unlock and I was in fastboot, what is the problem?

Should I remove the "-i 0x0B05" argument?

I don't know what the problem is. What is your bootloader version and Windows version? Which driver are you using? You could try rebooting, a different USB port, a different cable, a different operating system, ....

Ok, to bad I don't have a boot sector backup :( :P No way to get back for me..
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
I just restored from some test cm10 builds. Working great here. This is why I've been warning against flashing that. Anyway, this recovery allows full backup and restore of boot and recovery. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
dasunsrule: i've been wondering about the boot backups. statements about it from various people have left me a bit confused. is that a backup of the kernel or the bootloader? i was under the impression it was the kernel partition.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hiemanshu:
It is the kernel partition, Its a backup of the boot.img basically, i.e. kernel + ramdisk.
[Asus Transformer TF700] urrlyx:
OK I was not mistaken then. Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Nebucatnetzer:
Thanks for the work. It's good to see some familiar tools around here.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Heiboe:
Im sorry, did I understand this correctly? Did you just say restore to original boot image? No more lag? Is this a dream?

I didn't say anything about lag. But with this recovery, you can read and write to the /boot and /recovery partitions. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Heiboe:
Haha, sorry, all this awesome activity nowadays is making me have too many nergasms, and you dont really think straight while those things is going on.

Stuck!

When I try to go into fastboot, the tab gets stuck in the window with the 3 icons (wipe data, USB symbol, Android) and it says starting Fastboot USB download protocol. Nothing happens. I tried flashing while on that screen, and I get "Waiting for device" from the command window. HELP!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Heiboe:
This happened to me, but i could solve it by using the command "fastboot devices"

EDIT: Im using linux though, dont know if it might be drivers or something in Windows?
[Asus Transformer TF700] gaxiolafm:
When I try fastboot devices I get the same thing. DAMMIT! I don't have Linux. Do you think it might have something to do with TWRP?? I hate that thing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] eyosen:
I have the same problem. However when I first tried it I had stock recovery installed. So I don't think it's Twrp related.

Fastboot devices doesn't return anything
[Asus Transformer TF700] Heiboe:
tried booting up with tablet connected, without, nodock , w/dock? Might be something stupid like that
[Asus Transformer TF700] eyosen:
No dock.

Tried connected and disconnected. No go.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hiemanshu:
do fastboot -i 0x0B05 devices. that will show you tablet as connected. The -i 0x0B05 part is very important. Also the screen where it says fastboot is starting, fastboot started after a few seconds but if you dont add -i 0x0B05 part it will not recognize the tablet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] eyosen:
Thanks hiemanshu. Once I get it charged will try then.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
Adding to this, users will also need to install the fastboot drivers for Windows, assuming you're on Windows.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gaxiolafm:
Still nothing. Now I get the Fastboot Commands list.
[Asus Transformer TF700] eyosen:
+1

Since I use the same directory with fastboot files for my HOX, I know I have everything there.

I do see Asus Android Bootloader Interface version 4.0.0.5 in my Devices when I connect the tablet in fastboot to the PC.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gaxiolafm:
Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers I downloaded here. It shows up in the Device Manager as Android Bootloader Interface, so I know it's working. I typed the command:

fastboot -i 0x0B05 devices

and I got the Commands List. I then tried

fastboot -i 0x0B05

and I got "waiting for device"

Fastboot will not start up.

The only difference i have is i didnt install zeus rom inbetween.

Tried asus drivers from 2010, march and july 2012. I don't get it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gaxiolafm:
I don't think it has anything to do with the drivers, since Fastboot mode is not starting on the tablet.

I will try flashing CM10 then try it again.

[Asus Transformer TF700] eyosen:
I only got boot loop after applying the patch. Reinstalling the rom solved the boot loop.

Fastboot still doesn't work. All I get is the cmdline arguments.
[Asus Transformer TF700] tbtaf:
Did you wipe everything? I would try wiping 3 times and then install Zeus or another rom and see if you can see your device. Also, do you have Asus sync or something else running that could be conflicting? Another thought, make sure you only have one device connected at a time, this can/will cause issues from what I have read.
[Asus Transformer TF700] amaury48:
is there an easy way to identify which Bootloader I am running. I also had flashed the Mystic ROM, but have since TWRP'ed a recent full backup of my Baked Black Bean ROM. Not sure if that ROM is based off the ICS Bootloader , it appears to be running fine. Just want to know if I will have any problems installing CWM now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
Did you install the tf300 jelly bean update?
[Asus Transformer TF700] eyosen:
Finally. I got it to work.

Here is the problem

Fastboot -i 0x0B05 devices

Does not return the connected device id

Similarly,

fastboot -i 0x0B05 getvar...

does not return the requested variable value. That was my mistake to expect values back. I wrongly concluded that fastboot wasn't working.

However, completely by chance I issued

fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

and tablet rebooted.

So,

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

did the trick.
[Asus Transformer TF700] amaury48:
Not sure which update your talking about, I just flashed the Mystic ROM, had it for a few hours, then restored my BBBv3 backup.
[Asus Transformer TF700] singlebeam:
Can't you use a terminal to dd= the img file to the recovery partition?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
That's in the op ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] eyosen:
Only if it had occurred to me :)

Anyhow I got it to work as explained above.

Thanks all.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
Yes, that should work fine from recovery.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hiemanshu:
Just dd it to the 4th partition /staging, and it will auto flash on next boot, and if something goes bad, your device will still be perfectly fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] eyosen:
Sometimes I have to pay my dues to android gods to get things working :banghead:

Joking aside, I was following a sticky guide under general section (pretoriano80's) and the reboot command there doesn't have the vendor_id part. So I assumed other fastboot commands would also return values. Silly me.

Sorry for OT.
[Asus Transformer TF700] DaveWut:
Awww thank you, I was waiting for this. The other recovery was too unstable. Sometime when I was flashing my device with it, the recovery itself would crash. This is, in my opinion, not really acceptable for a recovery, since it's one of our main backup plan when things goes wrong.
[Asus Transformer TF700] adampdx:
I was having the same issue expecting to have fastboot return a positive response. So if fastboot doesn't recognize the device it will still flash the bootloader?
[Asus Transformer TF700] amaury48:
I didn't install the ROM in the Experimental thread, I installed the finished product in the Mystical JB thread.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lafester:
Same thing. You now have the JB bootloader.
[Asus Transformer TF700] eyosen:
Try

Fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

first. If tablet reboots, fastboot will flash the recovery file as described in OP.
[Asus Transformer TF700] adampdx:
Excellent. I'll try this when I get home.

Its like this :

Tf300jb bootloader + tf300 stock jb roms = smooth but high brightness and high battery usage

tf300jb bootloader + tf700 custom roms (includes cm10 und derivatives) = very laggy and volume rocker not working

tf700 ics bootloader + tf700 custom roms (cm 10 and others) = awesome performance and almost everything working

The jb bootloader has a build in check that prevents any older bootloader from installing so there is no working way to downgrade from there

So at the moment it is not a good Idea to flash ANYTHING that uses a tf300 stock jb bootloader because once you did that there is no way to get a fully functional rom at the moment .

I restored a Baked Black Bean backup that I created just before installing the Mystic Rom and everything is working perfectly, auto brightness control and volume control. No lagging whatsoever. Could it be cause BBBv3 is a AOSP based ROM? Or was it the TWRP backup that I restored why I don't have any problems whatsoever.....
[Asus Transformer TF700] joed1ver:
Fastboot was not working for me either. It had in the past, but I have other android devices so there's no telling what was loaded.

I checked my windows devices and found a problem with the driver. I then reloaded the drivers and now had "Android Phone/Android ADB Device". Still no luck, so I unplugged the usb cable and plugged it back in. Windows then reloaded those same drivers and now I can Fastboot works.

Now I get a ? when I try fastboot devices but only the menu when I try fastboot -i 0x0B05 devices. Previously, fastboot devices would also only give me a ?.

Great Job. thanks!

Help! I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers several times now, and no matter what, whenever i enter fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img I get "waiting for device".

How do you reboot to bootloader with this pad? Or am I supposed to run the fastboot-commands when the device is powered on? :p Tried adb reboot bootloader, etc..
[Asus Transformer TF700] eyosen:
Power+voldown

Then, after recovery message, use vol down to switch to fastboot USB mode in the middle and push vol up to select within 5 seconds.
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
Use hardware buttons: power off, then hold volume down + power--hold til ASUS logo comes up, then hit volume up immediately. That will take you to your custom recovery. That's the only safe way to do it.

[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
Should work fine. I've yet to test. I didn't see a change log on the new update
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
It worked for me with .26 update and CWM (used that to get back to stock) so i don't see why it shouldn't work with .30...but you will also get back to stock recovery.

MD5 Mismatch [Solved]

@dasunsrule32: Hi,i've did some testing with CWM recovery today,mostly focused on backup&restore and flashing roms,wipping and backup went smooth but i'm getting MD5 mismatch on two of my backups.Here's all the spteps i've did so you better understand:

1) Flashed Stock .26 rom,installed CWM recovery and rooted.

2 Went in recovery and did a backup of this Stock rom (on external microSD) and all went great,no errors

3) Factory Restored and Flashed Zeus rom version 4 and restarted system

4) Installed/Updated a few apps and then rebooted to recovery

5) Did a backup of the Zeus rom and again all went great,no errors so far

6) Factory Restore again and flashed the Unofficial CM10 rom then rebooted to system

7) Installed/Updated my favorite apps and then rebooted to recovery

8) Did a backup of CM10 and after that rebooted to system

So as you can see i have 3 backups on external microSD (Stock,Zeus v4 and Unofficial CM10) but when i try to restore from CM10 to Zeus or Stock the recovery throws at me the MD5 mismatch error but works fine with the CM10 backup.So is this how it's meant to work or something odd is happening with the backup files?

Or maybe we have to always get back to Stock ICS rom prior to restore any ICS backup?

Edit: Also i can't get any logs from the recovery.

Edit 2 : Maybe editing the backups filename is to blame for the MD5 mismatch?

[Issue Solved] - If you are planning to rename your backups DON'T use "spaces" in the filename (i.e. Zeus v4 Rom should be Zeus.v4.Rom or Zeus-v4-Rom )
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
Yes, spaces are invalid in cwm.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
Yes,the backups are ok now after removinng the spaces but still i can't get back from a CM10 rom to Stock rom or a Custom rom based on stock.But i'm sure that all my backups will work after restoring with Asus official rom...i was hoping that with CWM recovery we could move back and forth without restoring to full stock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] amaury48:
Flashed the .30 in TWRP, worked like a charm, was on the Tf300 bootloader.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wolfman87:
So just a quick recap, the following should work (I'm on .26, TWRP, Zeus 4.0. Never updated the Kernel to the JB300 one)

1) Download recovery.img and place it in root (I don't have an external SD card yet)

2) Download the .30 Update (US Version - I believe that'sthe one I have anyway) and place it in root

3) Boot to TWRP and flash .30 Update (Update ROM)

4) Boot to TWRP and flash recovery.img (I assume there is an update or flash recovery?) to get CWM

(alternatively, I have goo manager, so should I flash CWM from there?)

5) Download and re-flash Zeus 4.0

And I should be good?

EDITS:

Never mind on Step 5, I realized that Zeus is based on a WW+US mix of .26. Maybe I should just update to CWM now and wait for a new Zeus to update to .30?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
Let's keep this thread on topic.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wolfman87:
