[Q] Tf 101 can't change ROM or install Clock work Recovery

Hello
I am new to this forum, I could not find any answers, so I desided to register and ask.(I am a noob in this stuff)
I have a Transformer tf101 which I have roted with Revolver some time ago (I think it was Revolver, how to check that?). My goal now is to overclock the tab.
I have been trying to follow some instructions begining with installing Clock work mod recovery, but when I start the tab with volume.down+power and than push Vol.up I get a picture of android guy with open stomach and warning triangle.
Am doing something very wrong? Where should I begin istead?
Will be very thankfull for anwers

You don't have a custom recovery installed, and don't use CWM
Use TWRP recovery
Install Goo Manager from here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager&hl=en
Open Goo Manager, tap the top right menu dots, choose "Install OpenRecovery script"
That should install TWRP for you, then you can do your vol down and power to enter recovery

Thanks, that worked!
So I backed up my System, Boot, Recovery and Cache now.(Do not need Data)
What do I do now? Should I install some custom Kernel now? I wish to go to 1,5 Ghz, which one is the most popular out there?

No need to backup Cache, Cache and Dalvik cache are basically just temp folders
Now you should find a decent jellybean ROM and Kernel and Gapps (Google Apps)
Obviously I suggest the latest Team EOS4 Jellybean Nightly #116
Kat Kernel #103 too for lots of nice tweaks and OCing ability
And grab the latest Gapps from the 1st post in EOS4 thread (See my sig for links)
1. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache
2. Wipe System (and Data if you're coming from and old ROM)
3. Flash ROM
4. See 1.
5. Flash Kernel
6. See 1.
7. Flash Gapps
8. See 1.
9 Reboot and enjoy Jellybean 4.2.2

So after wiping Cache, Dalvik Cache and System, I inserted SD card With "EOS4 Jellybean Nightly #116", went into install menu in TWRP and flashed it. TWRP gave suggestion to clear Cache/Dalvik Cache and I pressed that button too. I am not sure now which kernel to download because there is "KatKernel_103_JB4.2_Lidpatch.zip" and "KatKernel_103_JB4.2_Lidpatch_CM10.1.zip" for JB 4.2.2. Which should I take?

KatKernel_103_JB4.2_Lidpatch.zip
You're running EOS4 not CM10.1
And you'll need these Gapps
http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/eos4/gapps/gapps_4.2.2_TF101_20130323b.zip

Thanks for help! Now my CPU benchmark at 1,5ghz is integer=1953; floatpoint=1703 vs 1ghz where integer=1280 floatpoint=1129. Tested with Antutu. It actually allows me to go up to 1,7ghz, but I bet it is not safe.

No problem, I haven't heard of many running at 1.7, I leave mine at 1.4, seems a good mix of performance and battery life
If you goto Settings > EOS Control Centre > Navigation > UI Mode
You can change the UI back to Tablet Bar and get 100% smooth homescreens again too

I tested 1.7ghz but it restarted immediately. I missed the UI mode:good:

[MOD][SCRIPT] Super WIPE Script HTC One | Aroma GUI (upd.18/03/2015)

This tool will allow you to easily WIPE system, data (except /data/media), boot (kernel) and cache partitions directly from custom recovery.
Before using this tool you need to be sure you are using latest version of custom recovery (TWRP or CWM). The current downloads for both CWM and TWRP can found below:
The latest M7 U/UL TWRP can be downloaded HERE. I recommend to use TWRP 2.6.3.0 (for v1.0.2d) and TWRP 2.8.5.* (for v2.0.2) .
v1.0.2d will work for Intarnational version, GE, T_Mobile, AT&T but NOT for SPRINT DEVICE
and v.2.0.2 - for all version!!!
To use this tool please copy zip file to your phone and then boot into custom recovery and choose Install. Then browse to where you copied zip file and select it. Aroma installer will begin. Choose options you want to run.
What script does:
1. Wipe /cache partition (select in Aroma);
2. Wipe delvik-cache (select in Aroma);
3. Wipe /system partition (select in Aroma);
4. Wipe /data partition except /data/media (select in Aroma);
5. Format boot partition (kernel) and removes /system/lib/modules (select in Aroma);
/system/lib/modules
/system/etc/init.d/01-h2w
/system/etc/init.d/01-pwp
/system/etc/init.d/01-therm
/system/etc/init.d/01-blinkbuttons
/system/etc/init.d/01-f2s
/system/etc/init.d/01-f2w

/sys/android_touch/sweep2wake
/sys/android_touch/doubletap2wake
/sys/android_touch/logo2wake
/sys/android_touch/pocket_detect
/sys/android_touch/logo2menu
5. Removes some system files from /data/media;
/sdcard/.android_secure
/sdcard/.bookmark_thumb1
/sdcard/LazyList
/sdcard/LOST.DIR
/sdcard/.data/footprints
/sdcard/.data/mail
sdcard/Android/data/com.android.providers.media
/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.genie.geniewidget.news-content-cache
/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.maps
/sdcard/.data/navigator/Data/Temporary
6. Check partitions for errors;
7. Create a log of work on internal memory card.
This operation will remove all your data except for /data/media.
If you wipe ONLY BOOT, then you must to flash new kernel and kernel modules too (/system/lib/modules)!
Make sure that you have nandroid backup and Titanium backup before a full wipe!!!
You must have new ROM on /data/media to flash after full wipe!!!
If AROMA Installer stops at 0%, then you must to press Power button and hold 15-17 seconds to reboot. Then go to recovery and start installation again. This will help you.

You must select all of items then will be deleted data, system, cache the boot partitions, after that you can return back into recovery, choose Install and select rom to flash.
This script makes a wipe as well as in TWRP recovery. It's more convenient to use script for somebody ...

In TWRP all the same, except wipe of boot partition. And there is no partition format /data/media in this script.
Boot partition can be flashed into bootloader (fastboot usb) through:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
or through:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip boot.zip
(If you S-OFF you can put into zip 2 files: boot.img and android-info.txt, if s-on - signed firmware.zip)
or into custom recovery (zip).
It's dangerous to delete HBOOT partition! In this case - bricks. If you erased boot partition then you can enter into bootloader and recovery and restore all things! ...

so are u telling me that yr script is different from wiping in TWRP ?
So yr script dont delete Hboot partition?

Do not worry! :laugh:
This script don't delete Hboot partition!

so its safe to use?

I checked all items of script on myself. All safe. And if someone does not think before to do something, it is always dangerous!

Awesome, been using a wipe script for the galaxy nexus, great to have one for the One, thanks OP!

when i use this script.
checked all options and wipe.. no rom and no kernel on my phone?
flash now a rom without choose fullwipe in aroma..
why all my apps on phone, my own homescreen?

Installing 3.1 OTA update with custom recovery

Ran into this issue as I'm running a custom recovery and couldn't flash the update. Took the time to figure out how to do this properly as I couldn't find any existing set of instructions and I'm sure some people will want them.
WARNING: Flashing this update WILL reset root and the recovery partition. These steps restore both. Restoring custom recovery will require a PC with ADB installed as I was only able to find the raw .img file and not a flashable .zip.
1). Download full update zip by navigating to Settings > About tablet > System updates > Check full update (http://i.imgur.com/ozGBzKZ.png)
2). After update is finished downloading, navigate to /data/data/com.nvidia.ota/files/ROM (I used Root Explorer) and move the downloaded update to either your internal or external storage card. DO NOT TAP THE NOTIFICATION THAT SAYS TAP HERE TO INSTALL UPDATE!
3). Download flashable SuperSU.zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
4). Download CWM recovery.img from http://forum.xda-developers.com/shi.../recovery-cwm-recovery-nvidia-shield-t2848064
5). Reboot recovery
6). Make a nandroid backup in recovery first before doing anything
7). Flash full update archive (DO NOT REBOOT AFTERWARDS)
8). Flash SuperSU archive (this will restore root)
9). Follow instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/development/root-root-lollipop-t2945044 to use dd to restore custom recovery through adb shell.
10). Wipe cache/dalvik
11). Reboot!
In the off chance that you screw something up and need to force your tablet back into recovery mode manually, the button combo is Power + Volume Down. Also, I was able to dirty flash (not wipe data first) and everything seems to be working fine. As far as the update goes, audio/wifi is working without issue and if anything, the tablet seems more responsive (doesn't slow down/lock up as much). I literally pounded out these instructions after getting my tablet updated so I haven't had a chance to mess around with it much yet.

FAQ
Q: Instructions unclear, phone stuck in bootloop
A: Either do this:
Download this folder and use one of the two ".bat" files. Boot into Bootloader via Volume Down and Power Button. --
It will flash S048 Firmware of our Lenovo P2, after the flash-process is finished it will boot up on its own. Recommended: Do all the ota updates via ota app.
Or: Boot into bootloader, via adb cmd prompt use: fastboot boot lineagerecovery.img , then use reboot menu to reboot into twrp. Clean Wipe phone(Wipe system,data, cache and dalvik-cache Partitions) and try flashing your Rom etc. again.
Q: Instructions unclear, hardbricked my phone!!
A: Thaat shouldn't have happened. Did you screw up somewhere?...
Luckily you backed up your most important files!

how to flash any custom ROM for your device.

Hi there
NOTE: please follow this steps one by one.
Disclaimer: i am not responsible if your device got bricked, i use this method for my samsung galaxy A20e and it works.​
well when i wanted to flash a custom rom for the first time, i didn't find any steps to follow, i just picked out the rom then flash it via twrp and rebooted and that was a big mistake, the rom booted but i wasn't able to do anything, so today you will see the right way to flash .
First of all, you need to have twrp installed.
then download the rom version that you want for example, i used this rom for my device: https://sourceforge.net/projects/derpfest/files/a20e/
next put the file that you have downloaded in an sdcard.
then reboot to recovery, you can do it by powering off your phone then hold the volume up and power keys until you see twrp's logo.
click wipe option, the advanced, after that check all the partitions there except sdcard and usb-otg (and vendor if it is not included), for my device i wiped system, vendor, data, cache, dalvik and cache, but it may be different for you, now swipe to the right to confirm wiping.
when the wiping process has been finished, exit advanced wipe and choose format data, you will be asked if you are sure, type yes.
go back to the main twrp window, then select flash, click select storage and choose sdcard(or usb-otg if you are using it), then you will see the zip file and install it.
reboot and that's it !! it is depending on your phone's speed now, just be patience.
enjoy your time in that rom, cause you will change it soon *__*.
