So, I've tried this many, many times, with 4 different sets of drivers, 4 ROMs, and still NOTHING gets it done. I read in one of the posts that it is possible to flash CWM Recovery using a Terminal. Could someone please be so kind as to explain that process? I really don't like TWRP (Their backups take up WAY too much space for my liking, and it takes FOREVER). Thanks.

Same here.

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:10 PM ----------

Can you post a step by step on doing this? I can't get it to flash using fastboot. Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] wolfman87:
I read the same things, thats why I was asking about a few simple steps..

While I am extremely grateful for people to post new threads on what they have done. Unfortunately it doesn't always give enough information so the less experienced users (especially as new methods are uncovered). I understand that this is the dev section, but that doesn't mean it's exclusive in terminology and/or usage.

Now we're off topic though :silly:

If anyone wants to discuss having more information on how-top posts, please create a new thread post a link here, talk about it there, and lets call it a day. Otherwise back to flashing CWM without using Fastboot .....
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
To me, sounds like you flashed the tf300 jb update. If so, you need to flash your tf700 bootloader back. I would check in the original thread though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] SplicedX:
gaxiolafm,

have you tried putting your tablet into fastboot mode?

power off, then hold volume down and power, then press volume once more. this will take you to a black screen with three icons. one of which is a USB symbol. use vol down to highlight it then press vol up. You will then be in fastboot mode. Next, issue your commands:

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
[Asus Transformer TF700] wolfman87:
Me or gaxiolafm?

I've only flashed TWRP and Zeus 4.0.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lafester:
op said he would post up a flashable .zip when he gets time so just wait until then if fastboot isn't working. Twrp is more then enough to do anything you need to do for now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gaxiolafm:
I have tried every recommendation in this thread. I have the ICS bootloader, just flashed the new .30 firmware, never flashed a JB ROM, when trying to go to fastboot mode, I only get "Starting fastboot USB download protocol" and get stuck there. When I input the commands you just said, I get "<waiting for device>" and stays there (for 12 hours once). I have tried 4 different sets of drivers, factory reset on my device, etc. The only thing I haven't tried is the Terminal in the tablet.

At this point, I think I will just wait.
[Asus Transformer TF700] King Shatta:
gaxiolafm,

PM me and I can walk you through the exact steps on how i got this to work. It took me a few tries and i was on TWRP with Zeus 4.0. Rom
[Asus Transformer TF700] jrc27:
Quick question. I have successfully flashed CWM and i've used it numerous times. When i go into ROM manager to backup my ROM, it says i need to have CWM installed and it wants to install it through ROM manager. When i click install, it wants to confirm my device is the transformer prime. Is there any harm in doing this, or am i stuck making backups the manual way?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
Don't install the recovery from Rom manager ,IT WILL BRICK your device.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jrc27:
10-4, guess there really is no point in having rom manager then, lol
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
Right you are.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jrc27:
I just got so used to doing things through it on my S3....manual it is.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kevinb77:
Can this just be flashed through ROM Manager, or is this device not supported yet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
Do not use Rom Manager with the Infinity TF700.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kevinb77:
Ok cool. Just wanted to verify. Thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
I've been busy fixing bugs and getting things working for the official cm builds. Once we get a bit more stable, I'll make sure we have ROM manager support. Just some init work that needs to be done on the recovery ramdisk and the ROM ramdisk.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Deaj:
Thanks for this! I somehow hosed my TF700's recovery and this fixed the issue. Better than stock recovery! :good: This got me back on track today and quick. Thanks again! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] n-j-f:
I'm still only getting 'waiting for device'. The drivers are definitely loaded as the tablet appears in explorer and device manager shows ASUS Android Composite ADB Interface with no exclamation marks or anything wrong. I'm on TWRP but never loaded any other ROMs. also on .30 firmware rooted and unlocked. How do I get fastboot to see my tablet? Is there going to be an alternative way of installing CWM soon?
[Asus Transformer TF700] n-j-f:
Anyone help?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
You know what this is a driver issue I'm guessing. A test would be to boot Ubuntu live CD and see if you can use fastboot there. You can do a Wubi install, which installs Ubuntu like an app in windows. Give it a run and let me know.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
I need a quick test done with this version of the CWM recovery.

1. I need it tested on ICS

2. I need it tested on the latest JB OTA.

Please reply to this comment with results. I appreciate it. Thank you.

Thanks for testing!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
It works fine on JB,partitions mounts just fine,backup also works but i guess that boot partition restore is still broken (restore works fine but it doesn't restore the kernel).Can you confirm?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
I'm not on the JB OTA, that's why I need confirmation. Ok, let me try a few things. I would like more confirmation on ICS also. Thank you! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
I had the boot restore issue with the ICS version too,so basically for a complete restore i always had to manually flash the kernel after a full restore.Of course if you are on Stock Rom for example and you restore a backup based on Stock Rom you don't have that issues because you already have the correct kernel.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
That's odd, I always went from CM10 with test builds -> asus backup, and it always reapplied the boot just fine.

Can you give me more info about the version of the tf700 you're using? WW, US, 32G, 64G, etc. thanks. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
New recovery is up in OP. It is compatible with the new JB OTA now.

There is a known issue with the 64G variant of the tf700 that it doesn't restore boot.img correctly. The boot.img will have to be fastboot flashed back manually. We'll be working on a fix. Thanks. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Pretoriano80:
Maybe this partition table from a TF700T 64GB version will help you fix the boot restore issue .
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mykew:
Sorry for the stupid question, but I wanted to clarify before charging off flashing stuff. I have jellybean stock, rooted with this cwm. I also have 64gb tab. My understanding is that I cannot restore any of my old twrp backups. however, am I able to restore a new one made with current cwm? Would I have to flash the boot.Img, with fastboot (meaning I need to copy the file to my pc)?

Cheers for any help,

Mike.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
Yes, it's a temporary workaround until we can figure out what the exact issue is.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kirerad:
Hi

I've noticed that the backups taken by the new CWM version are having incorrect date/time stamp. can this please be fixed..
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
That has been a problem on Cwm since forever. Happened on my prime, original transformer as well. It's always a month ahead for some reason.
[Asus Transformer TF700] chugger93:
I think I'm ready to unlock. Do I need to install drivers on my pc? I get in fastboot by what button combo again? Then just flash this recovery and done?JB

Running JB ota at the moment, rooted
[Asus Transformer TF700] chugger93:
also, does unlocking wipe the device and factory reset it? Thus loosing root temporarily right?

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 PM ----------

ok, so I unlocked, and tried to get into fast boot. Instead I get an android guy laying down with a red exclamation. I'm officially stuck now...
[Asus Transformer TF700] cal75:
Hey guys, please help if possible...

I got my TF700 32GB in JB, and i did UNLOCKED the bootloader.

[Asus Transformer TF700] n-j-f:
OK I'm ready to try again with fastboot. I have a 64Gb TF700 and am on .30 (unfortunately before I saw the thread about NVflash :( ) and TWRP 2.2.2.

Just so I understand. This issue about reflashing boot.img is only if I want to restore a backup I make with CWM? It is not something I need to do now when flashing CWM? Am I right?

And sorry for being so nooby but where do I get boot.img and would i flash it in exactly the same way as CWM but with boot.img instead of recovery-jb.img?

TIA.

[Asus Transformer TF700] chugger93:
how do you know theres no recovery? Did you try to get into it? Power + Vol down to start up the tablet, then hit Volume up real quick and it should boot into recover.

Also I noticed your recovery is named differently, did you rename it? I know by default its recovery-jb.img I believe.
[Asus Transformer TF700] kevinb77:
You spelt erase wrong. You spelled it erace.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cal75:
yup, i got recovery installed finally! :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] n-j-f:
Well I went ahead and this time got fastboot to work. Until I read another thread, i didn't realise I needed to put the TF700 into fastboot mode.

I would still appreciate an answer to my earlier question if someone can help me, please.

I also have another question. Using CWM I can backup to my internal SDcard but if I try to backup to my external one i get an error 'Can't mount backup path'. Would this be because my external 64Gb UHC SDcard is still formatted as exFAT? Is there a way to get it to mount the card or do I need to reformat it? If so, will NTFS work?

TIA
[Asus Transformer TF700] chugger93:
How does this clockwork backup? I see the clockwork folder with a few files in a sep directory, but no file is over 8megs. I then see a blob folder I believe it was with like a gig worth of data. Although the only backup I took so far was of my stock asus image.

Maybe backing up a rom wont do the blob folder?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
That's you're data in blobs, it's been deduped. ;)

You can disable dedup though in the recovery settings, if you prefer the old images.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
Test Recovery:

Please test this recovery. It has the patches necessary to work with the 32 and 64G models of the tf700. Please respond to this post and let me know the results. Thanks!! :)

1. Please test functionality with ICS

2. Verify JB looks ok now on 64G and 32G devices.

I'm adding CWM touch to this test also. Please let me know of the results for this also. :)

Thanks for testing, this has been moved to the OP for the standard CWM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lafester:
i'll test on jb 32 gb and maybe ics if nobody beats me to it.

-- installed and running backup now. once its done i will restore after wiping data/cache.

-- backup complete (seemed to take awhile). wiped data and rebooting to verify.

-- data wipe successful testing restore

-- restore complete. looks good!

is it ok to restore an ics backup from previous version of cwm?

-- restore to ics did NOT work (did not boot). restoring jb now. at this point i'm not going to flash stock ics to test maybe tomorrow.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
This may be an issue of you being on the JB bootloader. I don't know that the ICS asus build will boot on it. I'm guessing this is the issue. Thanks for the thorough testing. :)

PS - I also added touch recovery to the post above for testing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] chugger93:
It seems like a horrible way to do it. How do you delete backups? I can't decipher which blob folders are from which days...its so confusing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
Its not horrible, its more efficient. After you delete a backup. Hit free unused space, or disable deduped backups.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lafester:
Going to try out your touch version here in a second :)

-- Touch version is NICE, backing up now.

-- Backup complete.

-- Data wipe complete.

-- Restore complete.

Love the touch interface and it works great with the keyboard as well.
[Asus Transformer TF700] chugger93:
Let me pose the question again, because maybe I'm a bit confused. I normally mount my tablet, and go into clockwork folder through microsoft windows for example and rename my backups to something memorable or the rom name or something. However sometimes I will just delete them right from there. However, I can't delete anything from the blob folder because I have no idea which subdirs correspond with what clockwork folder.

However with your comment, you are leading me to believe I can delete them somehow through clockwork recovery itself? If so, I havnt noticed. Please explain more.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lafester:
Its right there in the backup/restore menu.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Zeklandia:
ERROR

I keep getting the same error:

Command Write Failed (Too many Links)

I am unlocked, and no matter what command I do (be it erase or devices) it always returns that error.
[Asus Transformer TF700] cal75:
sorry.... question again. :)

I've successfully installed the recovery and root.

can I use this recovery to clear cache/dalvik and do a reset ? so that I can flash a custom ROM.

I am asking because I worried the reset part will brick the device (not very sure)

Thank you
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
Just use the factory reset option. :)

TF700KL

I have a slight problem: I'm on a TF700KL. That's right, the Qualcomm Krait S4 version with LTE.

Since this tablet is rare, to say the least, there's not really any development going on explicitly.

So, I'm on 4.0.4 and have a 16GB version. I would not think it's too much difference between the 700T and 700KL, so do I dare to try this version of CWM? Or would it fail due to the 16GB alone?

First of all I need to verify that I can use the 700T unlocking tool. I asked ASUS about it as well as if JB is on the way, but no answer so far.

Many thanks!
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
Way different devices. Don't try to flash or use anything from the tf700t.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Arcus85:
I wouldn't try to flash a firmware or anything, since it's a different SoC. Makes sense that the recovery/bootloader is different to. How much work/how big a change would be needed to fix CWM for TF700KL approximately? Would it be easy given that you know what you're doing?

I didn't get much of an answer from ASUS. The bootloader unlocker available on the ASUS webpage seems identical for TF300T and TF700T at least, but they claimed it was not (although that was not my question obviously).

Could I try it just to see what happens or might I brick the device? The "lock" might be the same?

Thanks for your help!
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
I'd wait to do anything at this point. I know a few of the cm devs were talking about picking that device up. So wait and see
[Asus Transformer TF700] tbtaf:

[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:

[Asus Transformer TF700] pingaan:
Hey,

Normally I'd flash anything without reading it through to begin with but TF700 seems to be easier to brick than other devices (?).

Been looking through the thread a bit but can't find any foolproof guide on how to install..

I'm running TWRP but would very much like to swap to CWM, I have way better experience using it, both on my Desire Bravo and SGS3.

I'm running the CM10 alpha atm.

How do I swap from TWRP to CWM?

[Asus Transformer TF700] pingaan:
I assume you're reffering to the fastboot commands? I'm not sure in which state the phone is meant to be when you're doing this.. I mean, fastboot with HTC Desire was in the bootmenu..

Am I supposed to be in TWRP or just booted up in the current Android rom?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dasunsrule32:
Use the USB icon, that's fastboot
[Asus Transformer TF700] n-j-f:
As a bit of a noob myself, what dasunrule32 means is, with the tablet off and while holding down the volume down button, press the power key. With other phones, this will probably boot you direct into recovery. However, with the TF700T, you will see four icons in the middle of the screen. Press the volume down button I think it is twice until the USB symbol is selected. Then press the volume up key and you will see in very small print on the top left that fastboot is operating. Hope that helps.

Is ROM Manager from market working on the Infinity?
[Asus Transformer TF700] lafester:
No it does not work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] pingaan:
Sorry for my idiotic questions but would that be the USB icon that shows up once Android has finished booting or is it in some previous state?
[Asus Transformer TF700] dchawk81:
If Android has finished booting, you're not in fast boot. Hold volume down while pressing the power button, then let go when a row of icons show up in the middle of an otherwise black screen. Use volume down to navigate to the USB icon and volume up to select it. Then you're in fast boot.

Need some help guys:

1) Running TF700T on stock ICS 4.0.3 rooted using DebugFS with stock Recovery and Unlocked JB bootloader

2) Installed ROM Manager and used it to install CWM.

3) ROM Manager installed CWM 5.8.3.4 over stock recovery successfully.

4) Problem: When I try to boot into CWM using power + vol down, nothing happens. Neither the stock recovery nor CWM recovery loads. I can restart and ICS loads fine.

Therefore my question: Is there a way to install CWM 6.0.1.4 over CWM 5.8.3.4 from within ICS using ROM Manager or some other method, as I can't use fastboot as I don't have a working recovery?
