So... I have the MT4G, and for some reason continuously stuck on boot loop("MY" loading screen after rebooting).
Here's what I've done.
-VISIONary rooting.
-Downloaded Terminal Emulator on my phone.
-Downloaded ROM manager on my phone.
-Downloaded CM7 nightlies(7.0.0), and GAPPS 2.3 onto my computer.
-Extracted files.
-Plugged my phone in, opened the "Local Disk", opened my phone files and dropped them in there.
-Unplugged my phone, typed "su," and all that good stuff into T.E.
-Opened Recovery mode, and wiped all files.
-Installed CM7.
It SAYS installation complete, but when I reboot my phone, it doesn't get past the "MY" loading screen. This should only take about 5 minutes, as I've read. Boot loop. How do I get past this?
---- Or does anybody know a different method I could use for CM7? I have Windows XP, if that makes a difference.
Also- What's the best/strongest battery for the MT4G? I'm on my phone ALL day, VERY heavy use. Mine doesn't last more than 4 hours.
Boot into recovery by completely turning the phone off. hold power and volume down it. from manu select recovery and boot the phone into recovery. press wipe factory reset and wipe cache. than select install zip from sd card. navigate with your trackpad your your sd card where the CM.zip is located and install it. make sure you are rooted. after installation u should be all good your phone should boot up.

2. Copy the files onto your micro sd. Unzip stock update and place the Asus folder on root of sd card.
3. Boot into recovery. install repacked stock rom. Wipe all data, cache partition and dalvik cache. Reboot the tablet let it boot up then shut it down.
4. Boot into recovery and install stock recovery. Wipe all data, cache partition and dalvik cache. And then reboot and shut down.
5.
a.Boot into OS, there should be a notification for an update. select it and follow instuctions. Or
b.Boot into recovery(it should be stock recovery) then press up volume button within five seconds and the official update should install.
6. It should reboot automatically. When it does check about tablet info and check your apps to make sure the Super User icon is gone.
I forgot to install the stock recovery and immediately went to the next step. So my TF will boot now but I have no recovery to go too..
How do I get the recovery back?

Get yourself the nvflash tool (You just have too look for it in Transformer Q&A Section) unzip it, install the drivers, if You haven't yet, get a nvflashable version of a rom (PRIME Rom has got an nvflash version) unzip the nvflash Rom to the nvflash tool, so recovery.img system.img and so on are in the same folder as download.bat and so on.
finally enter in APX mode on your transformer, and run download.bat.
when it's done, your tablet should restart.
Sent from my Asus tf101 running official Ice Cream Sandwich.
The android with yellow exclamation point is your stock recovery.
Try taking the "update" file out of the Asus folder and put it directly on the root of your sd card.
If that still don't work do the two file method.
well, I did the download.bat. But I turned it off when it just showed two lines.
Now it wont turn on at all..I am really screwing this up.
It just wont turn on at all..But it has a full charge. I knew I should have left it alone

You should not have turned it off. When the installation process was done, your tablet should start up by itself.
Try it again, but this time wait for the tablet to start up.
I redid it and followed it exactly as outlined.
It is now installing the stock update. I think I am ok now.
I appreciate all the help..
I will try to give a decent amount of detail.
My G-tablet apparently ran out of battery, without me knowing. I tried to boot it up and it booted mostly in to android (enough for me to see battery at 0%) and then died.
I let it charge but next time I booted, though android loaded, none of my apps worked. I was also unable to boot in to recovery by holding the volume down button. As a last desperate attempt I went to Privacy - Wipe Data, which prompted the device to shut down.
When it started back up, I receive the message "Booting recovery kernel image", note WITHOUT holding the button (and without the recovery button held text).
From recovery I do a wipe of data partition and try to boot again. Same message, straight to recovery.
I say ok, I will flash the ROM again (vegantab), so I flash the ROM and reboot. Boot straight to recovery again.
One last try, I go to restore and try to restore a image from a few months ago. Restores successfully BUT, straight to recovery again.
No matter how I try to reboot, on the screen with the birds I get "booting recovery kernel image". It's like it isn't even TRYING to boot off the boot partition, and instead decides to load the recovery kernel no matter what I do.
So basically, I am now stuck in recovery and no amount of flashing / formatting can convince the thing to attempt a normal boot. Ideas?
edit: Fed up and in frustration I decided to format all partitions from recovery, including system and boot. After formatting the boot partition I now get the "Magic Value Mismatch" error message. Googling for solutions has returned around 95 different guides to fixing a gtablet, all with various completely different directions and outdated dead links to files. So if anyone has links to a MODERN guide to recovering through nvflash with files that actually exist, let me know.
Hey go to the gtablet for dummies website and download the nvflash 1.2 branch with clockworkmod. You do know how to nvflash right? Just press down your gtablet power button with volume - at the same time. That will put your gtablet in nvflash mode that is a black screen.
The nvflash you downloaded will have a folder with several files, if you are a windows user just put your tablet in nvflash mode and then Run the batch file located in the nvflash folder. Then wait for the process to finish and if the gtab doesnt reboots after everything is finished just reboot it by yourself
Remember you have to install windows drivers if your gtab is not being recognized.

I rooted my MT4GS a few months ago but stuck with the stock ROM. I decided I wanted to try out the CyanogenMod 9.1 ICS ROM. I followed the following steps:
1) Installed ROM Manager.
2) ROM Manager indicated a newer version of ClockworkMod Recovery and I installed it (5.0.2.7).
3) Using ROM Manager, did a full backup of the current ROM. All went well.
4) Using ROM Manager, downloaded and installed CyanogenMod 9.1.0 stable-doubleshot. I specified to wipe the data and cache partitions. The installation seemed to go normally.
When the phone rebooted, it was stuck at the logo screen. Had to remove the battery to turn it off. Tried a couple times, still the same.
Since I had the backup, I decided I would use CWM to restore the old ROM.
When I boot into recovery mode, it shows CWM 5.0.2.7, but whatever option I try to choose from the recovery menu, The screen just goes blank with the CWM logo in the middle and nothing else happens. Hitting the power button returns me to the menu, but no option works, even power down or reboot. It just goes back to the CWM logo again and I have to remove the battery to shut it down.
So, I thought I would try using fastboot to flash the ROM again. When I boot the phone into the boot loader and select fastboot, then plug the phone in via USB, nothing happens. Windows does not see the phone and ADB or fastboot don't see it either. It's not a driver issue, as the computer is still setup from when the computer was rooted and I connect the phone all the time with no problems.
When the phone is off and plugged into USB or the charger, I still get the charging light, though it goes off after about 10 seconds, then comes back on and cycles like that.
Is there anything I can try at this point, or is my phone bricked? It seems like I followed all the steps correctly. Is there an update.zip I can put in the root folder and see if it picks it up?
Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, after rebooting Windows, I was able to get the USB connection to the phone to work in fastboot. It seems I missed the step described in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508556
which states with S-ON you must flash the boot.img separately. I did that via fastboot and the phone boots into cyanogenmod now.
However, I still seem to have the issue with clockwordmod recovery. As long as I do the recovery functions from rom manager, everything is fine, but when I manually boot into the recovery menu, I get the same behavior of any choice from the menu just blanks the screen except for the CWM logo and nothing happens. I tried reflashing the recovery image using fastboot, but still no go.

This is solved also. Seems on the MT4GS, the trackball is the selection button. The power button appears to only be a back button.
What a thread! Two nicely phrased problem definitions, two well explained solutions, and all from the same guy. Sorry we weren't able to help directly, but you obviously found the answers you needed elsewhere in the forum. And you updated the title as well to show it was solved. Thanks.
mildly freaking out here, need advice.
D800 - AT&T
CWM 6.0.4.4
Hellfire ROM
phone has been acting up recently when bluetooth is connected. it's not totally locked up, just extremely super slow to the point that it appears locked up and if i can't wait for it, i just reboot (hold down power button until restart)
This happened just a little while ago. When it came back up, I opened terminal and input
Code:
su reboot recovery
When in CWM, I went to "wipe cache partition"
I let it sit on that for over 5 minutes, and the animation was frozen, so I hard rebooted again.
When the OS came back up, ES File explorer reported "unable to find /sdcard"
yikes.
I rebooted into recovery again and went to "format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)"
I let it sit on that screen for over five minutes and no progress.
Hard reboot again, reboot to CWM, choose "factory reset"
this took about ten minutes, and said "complete"
I rebooted and it sat on boot animation logo for over ten minutes.
reboot into recovery again, still no /sdcard found.
at this point, i'm guessing the data on the sdcard is totally lost, but i just want the OS to load.
What's the best way to get all the partitions back to normal, including /sdcard ?
I understand this will be wiping the phone.
adb, flash new image or what?
I have been having issues with my power button, because it kept powering my phone on and off on a loop. So I installed an app that let me use the volume button to wake my phone, but the app started to drain my battery. I realized that I could flash my phone with a ROM that could let me control what the buttons do. So I downloaded all the packages I needed such as ADB tools and the Nameless ROM. I also installed TWRP recovery package and set it up on the phone. I backed up my phone, but I think I accidently deleted the back up, because it wasn't showing up on the backed up list. By the time I figured this, I had wiped my phone. At this point, everytime I try to boot my phone, I get a message in the TWRP saying that I have no OS and if I would like to install SuperSU. I tried this option, the first time, my phone got stuck on the boot animation with 4 dots for a couple of hours. I switched the phone off, went to fastboot, wiped everything, and tried to the SuperSU again, this time, the phone is stuck on a Google screen. I do not know what to do. I tried to google this problem, but I couldn't find anything helpful. Is there anything I could do?
Thank You for your help
You don't have an system on your phone, so it wont boot. You need to boot into twrp, plug your phone into a computer, download any rom,
