any ideal how i "fix this"...
thanks for any help because as you can see i am at a stop!

I had some issues with my first tab similar to what you are having. The only way I solved it was by reflashing and wiping all date, which takes you back to the EULA. Good luck.
Do you have functional recovery? I'm guessing yes since you partitioned. Go to recovery and flash the rom again. You can mount the usb drivers in cwm to start usb mass storage so that you can download the rom on your computer and transfer to tablet. You can also put rom on external sd card and install from cwm.
When you partitioned the storage you deleted everything including the os. I believe it warned you of that before you did it.
If no recovery then you will have to nvflash. Search nvflash and bekit to get the nvflash info.

Make sure you are using bekits .8 CWM release. The latest release of CWM gave me fits, the only thing that would install was CM 7.
This isn't an Android Development topic, its a General topic, but don't worry about it, a mod will move it.
As to the question, like the others said. Use CWM .08, Wipe System, Wipe Cache, Install zip from SD Card, Install your choice of ROM (in your case, TnT Lite 4.1), Install gApps.zip, Reboot system now. That should get you up and running.
I am confused about you saying that you just now installed CWM but have been running TnT Lite. How would you have done that or do you mean you tried to update CWM or do you mean you have been using the stock TnT?
Also, feel free to hop on the #Tegratab IRC on Freenode if you need fast troubleshooting. Someone is usually on there to help

I "think" i tried this last night. I have 4.1.4 Update.zip and recovery folder on an USB stick. In CW, i went to "mount USB" (thinking i could access my USB and install from there) but ???? i didnt see anything and the only options were install update.zip from SD, and from Location but no USB option, and of course no way (that i saw) to brows to another location to "pick" where i wanted to install from.
Im thinking i am missing something with this step, or just plain old doing it wrong..

I have been installing the Roms, by downloading, taking the two "files" and moving them to my tab, and then rebooting with the power volume up,, ,finds the update and installs the ROM. its worked for all of them since 2.2...i thought i read that was an acceptable means of installing the ROM.????
as far as getting the files onto my SD (now). How? my computer doesnt see the tab because it is just hanging on dancing andy(unless there is anothe way of making it "see it", i cant seem to figure out how to get CW to read from my USB drive.....
Im just plain "stuck".
I am by no means a Android guru, and up to this point havnt had problems in the past... I TRULY am thankful for ANY help and all help i have recieved...
thanks folks

power off the tablet.
hold vol+ then power till u see recovery key pressed in the upper left corner of the screen. it will appear while the birds are still on the screen. If you get to the g tablet screen power off and repeat till u get into cw recovery.
Using volume +/- to navigate up and down Home to select and back to go back one level
Navigate cw recovery till u see mount usb storage i think its under partitions.
when you see usb mounted hook up the usb cable to the computer to the tablet mini usb port. copy the rom of your choice to the tablet. u only need the update.zip
once copied unmount usb storage.
back out till u see apply update.zip
Install and reboot u will be good to go.
of course flash gapps if u know what that is and want market on the tab.
Enjoy.

CW Won't read your USB drive. The "Mount USB" option in CW is to mount your tablet onto your computer as a USB storage device. By doing so, you can push files over to the tablet's internal storage from your computer.

Agree. That is what I was talking about earlier, I just couldn't remember what it was labelled in CWM. Mount the USB to your PC and push over the file. Then in CWM choose install from sdcard (I think, too lazy to look). Navigate to the rom file and run it. All should be well after that.

I've had issues with the dancing droid boot animation (as have many others) where it won't get past the boot screen. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone.

How do i get the stock one back? im kinda tired of him also
So ive been at this for 2 days. I finally got the micro sd card with both files to install rom but in clockworkmod recovery i cant mount sd card nor format or anything. I can mount and unmount in the normal settings of the device and see it in root explorer but thats it. Its formatted to fat32. also on rom manager where it says to install from sdcard it only takes u to the internal sdcard which makes no sense because i was told u cant install a rom from the internal sdcard.
PS. This is my first Android Device!!!!
yeah
I am in the exact same situation. I am rooted on 4.0.3 and I wanted to install 4.0.4 or one of the custom ROM's. This is not my first android device but I am at a loss. I can not enter fastboot, can't load anything from the SD card in CWM recovery (get the message E:Can't mount /sdcard/), can not connect via ADB on my PC.
I feel that I have enough skill to do all of this because I have done it in the past. My ADB works fine with my Galaxy Nexus (just updated that and installed new kernel) so I don't know what is causing the problem. I have tried different SD cards(3) as well and nothing.
The biggest problem is I can not get into fastboot and SBF if I wanted to. I have been having issues with drivers even though I have installed motohelper like 6 million times.
I have tried factory resets and wipes and everything. I tried to do the factory update that is being pushed to me and I get an error. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry if this is stealing your thread but I think we are having the same problems.
check out my thread at xoomforums:
I PM'd it to u cus it dont let me put it here
Read all 3 pages. I think it will help u. posted same question there and a guy suggested to install the rogue cwm 1.5 recory via adb fastboot or whatever. he says that will read your sdcards. if i were u id try and fastboot on a different pc cus it looks like thats what we both have to do unfortunately. it looks like a pain!!! u have a xoom?

If you are using CWM recovery from Rom Manager (not recommended for Xoom) it does only read your internal flash memory (called sdcard) but not your external microsd card (called external1???). So you need to flash a different custom recovery using adb/fastboot to flash a recovery.image file or, if you can flash through cwm (from internal sdcard) a recovery.zip file (either EOS or Rogue, depending on the ROM you will flash afterwards), Actually, any custom recovery is supposed to work for any rom, but in reality Eos works best for Eos and Rogue works best for the CM9 Kang.
Please, just remember, never flash a .zip file through fastboot, only an .image file!
+1 i agree with the above, fixed this last night. I download a couple recovery images, which were blank for some reason, so i downloaded the zips and extracted the recovery image folder. Then opened the command window from the folder with the recovery image and flashed it with fastboot. Now it works perfect.

I have been following the thread: [HOW] Rookie Rooting, Flashing And UnRooting Under One Roof
It seems to be layed out quite well and well, I'd never have gotten this far if it weren't for following those directions. I'm not discouraged because I know this is just a stumbling block. I can't wait to kill the bloatware and see if I can O/C this beast just a little.

I think the solution is much more simple...
The recovery uses normally e: an external sd card , you just trying by d: internal sd card , so take another sd card and dun let it be internal sd card...
And the recovery back on working with you
I just follow steps to install Rom Revolution HD , and i used super wiped . It's really work and wiped everything . Now i am still stick in CWM mod 5.8.0.4 and I can't install file from my sdcard ( internal and external )

Do you have ADB setup? You can try and push a ROM file to the internal storage.
For Easy Flasher, you did put it in APX mode and you have APX driver install?

Hi
I'm having some problems before super wipe:
I used Super Wipe Full to erase everything because I was facing some problems on it.
I used a lot of rooms before.
Now I can just access CWM and when I try to install the room, it says: "no files found". I think is isnt reading the external sd.
I tried to send the from via cable, but my computer don't install the driver for it. I also tried to install the driver via asus page.
Any solution?
Thank you

Ok, I have a problem very similar to threads Ive found by with some minor differences. Hoping for some answers to this nightmare....
I have an AT&T One X - unlocked, rooted and flashed. I was running Viper XL and using TWRP recovery 2.3.10. Yesterday, I decided to flash a Liquidsmooth ROM using flash image gui......everything went fine with install until it hung on liquidsmooth boot screen, for an hour. Figuring there was an install error, I rebooted into twrp to do a recovery. Recovered back to Viper XL and was thrown into bootloop - HTC screen/Viper Boot...over and over again. Finally decided to stop before I destroyed anything.....so here's where I am now. The phone has been reset, sd card was wiped but I can still boot into TWRP without a problem. However, now there is no backup or ROM zip on this SD card.
So my guess is that first and foremost I need to get a ROM on that SD card, however (I'm on a Mac) when I plug the phone in, I get a "No Android Device Connected" in the dialog and when trying to mount SD card via TWRP, the "Mount SD Card" box wont tick.
If I view the log file in TWRP I see a lot of 'could not mount SD card' errors.....
I don't want to keep screwing with it and make things worse. Considering this has happened with both CM10 and LiquidSmooth, my guess is I should just stick with Viper for now, so any help getting this back on here would be hugely appreciated! I have no access to a PC, only a mac.....

OpenDSP-v29.1.0.45.0622
eMMC-boot
If you're on Hboot 1.14 and are S-On you need to manually "flashboot flash boot boot.img" in fastboot from the bootloader menu whenever you flash a new ROM. Go to the bootloader and click "fastboot" then plug in your USB connected to the computer and it should now say "fastboot usb" assuming your drivers are installed (it might install them after you plug your phone in). Now you can flash the boot.img from the rom zip manually via the fastboot command window.
EDIT: Sorry didn't realize you were on Mac. I would first figure out how to mount the SD card as removable storage and not an Android device. You may have to format it as a file system first. At least that's what I had to do when this happened to me when I first flashed but i'm on Windows. I should of read your post more thoroughly.
So this would be done from the terminal? I was able to boot onto fastboot, connected USB cable and now show fastbootusb. I downloaded the ViperXL rom again, so I should extract the boot.img and flash this via terminal?
Are the commands the same on a mac? And how do I then get the rom onto the SD card?

I don't want to give you too much advice since I don't have a mac but I would assume they're the same except you need to have fastboot/adb on your computer but since the ones I have are .EXE files they're not going to work on OSX. However, If fastboot usb came up the computer is reading the phone so you may be able to open the SD card as removable storage on you computer thats how it is on Windows. So once you do that you can just move the ROM zip onto the card. But, like I said you're going to need to figure out a way to flash the boot.img separately or else you won't be able to boot into the ROM when it's installed (you'll just bootloop). You're going to have to do that with every new ROM you flash if you're still S-On.
Wish I can be more help but i'm not that versed in OSX.
you can use [APP] Flash Image GUI - Flash Kernels and Recoveries from normal Android mode! to flash boot.img fine before flashing the rom. it will search the rom zip for the boot.img and flash it. you can also flash recovery using the app also. some roms place boot.img in other locations other then the root of the zip in which case you might have trouble selecting the whole zip, but you can just extract the boot.img and flash it fine.

No problem - thanks for the help you can offer. It seems my bigger problem is getting a ROM onto the SD card - Ive read several similar threads and from what I can tell, doing a factory reset through TWRP means I need to reformat the SD card, which is why it wont mount. Does this sound reasonable?
And if so, is it as simply as "Wipe external storage - SD CARD" in TWRP?

And yes you will have to reformat the SD card I don't know how to go about doing it OSX though. I'm sure a google search will help. The method should be the same for any type SD card plugged into OSX. But remember flashing the boot.img will be the other issue.

doing a factory reset in hboot corrupts your sdcard.
once you get adb/fastboot working try running "fastboot erase cache" that clears out the part of cache where the settings for twrp reside, that is why when you format cache in twrp you always see 16MB when you fastboot erase cache it goes to 0MB but for recovery to store it's settings you need to rewipe cache and dalvik in twrp.

I went through this process before and have all of these same files still on my desktop. I'm able to boot my phone into the bootscreen (white screen) and TWRP without problems....the only issue I have right now is my SD card and getting a ROM pushed to it. I've gotten two conflicting bits of advice that im reluctant to try....one of them states I should just boot into TWRP and do a "Wipe external storage" and the other one says I should format it using disk utility in OSX. When I boot into TWRP and hit "mount", Im given four options, mount system, mount data unmount cache and mount sd card...the ONLY one I cant select is mount sd card.

Not sure what you should do really this happened to me but I forgot what I did. I ended up just formatting the card with the disk utility in Windows but I don't remember if I had to re-flash the recovery or not afterwards.
So I should just use this method again, regardless of whether I may have done it before, correct? This will format in stock recovery?
In the APK folder, there are two fastboot files, one 'fastboot' and one 'fastboot-mac' - i want the -mac one obviously, right?

Ok - I believe that fastboot is working correctly. I get this output from terminal
Mac-Pro:android originalseven$ ./fastboot-mac devices
HT29SW306500 fastboot

So it's showing a connection between phone and computer.......
The next logical step would be....format the SD card?
Thank you guys sooooo much for the help!!!
Accidentally corrupted my phone by flashing an old rom over a new one, so decided to boot into CWM and format system and data folders.
Now I can't figure out how to copy/flash a zip of cyanogenmod onto the phone. Mount USB doesn't work.
I can't find a tutorial anywhere that explains what I should do from here as they all seem to rely on your copying the zip to your internal memory before you proceed.
Tried CWM's sideload option but ADB on my machine is saying no device found. ADB was working before so I have all the drivers etc. set up. I have the zip file of the build, I just don't know how to get it onto the phone.
Any ideas?
No worries, found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322220&page=2 and tried installing the drivers download.clockworkmod.[com]/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi despite already having working drivers that allowed me to install the whole thing in the first place.
Soon as I installed them cwm let me sideload the rom and it's all groovy.
