Following is the NVFlash procedure for installing ClockWorkMod (CWM) for those
people who are having boot loop problems (or other problems) and need
to install CWM by flashing rather than by using /sdcard or a microSD card
via /SDCARD2. No apologies -- this is written so even the new folks can use it.!
1. You need to get a copy of ClockWorkMod v.8, which can best be done
by downloading through the following thread. Also, you might check the
thread for related info -- it's a good one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010943
2. Once you have the CWM files, go to your NVFlash directory (or whatever
you call it) and make sure you have the right files in it.
-- Nvflash.exe and related files (nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip) from
the original NVFlash Recovery thread.
-- USB drivers (also from NVFlash Recovery thread. If you already are
flashing via APX you should have them installed.)
-- The file "nvflash_gtablet.bat" from the NVFlash Recovery thread.
-- The CWM .img file (next item will tell you how to get it.)
3. Next you will need to extract the CWM .img file from the .zip file you
downloaded. First, extract the files from the download -- you should get
a recovery folder and an update.zip. Now unzip the update.zip file and
you will get a file named recovery.img.
4. Rename the file "recovery.img" to "part9.img".
5. Now edit the file "nvflash_gtablet.bat to make the command line read:
"nvflash.exe" --bl bootloader.bin --download 9 part9.img
The command line above for the .bat file does require the quotes around
nvflash.exe!!!
Or you can simply leave the other .bat file alone and create a new
nvflash_cwm.bat file and put the cwm command line in it if you want to.
6. Boot your tablet into APX mode using power/volume - (you will have a black
screen). Connect the USB cable from your G-Tablet to your PC. If you check
the little USB/green check icon on the PC toolbar (bottom right corner of screen)
you see an APX connection listed.
7. Go to the NVFlash subdirectory on your PC and run the .bat file to load CWM.
8. When the flash is done, use the USB/Green Check icon to disconnect from
the PC and then disconnect from the G-Tablet.
9. Shut down and the boot the G-Tablet into Recovery Mode by pressing
Power/Volume + and hopefully you will see the word "Android" and then the
green CWM menu will appear."
Now you're ready to do whatever you need to do with CWM.
Hope this helps.

This suggest that NVflash tool is more versatile. Not only can you flash the stock ROM but also the recovery and perhaps other ROM's as well.
Thank you for the post. It worked wonderfully. It saved me from having to buy a sdMicro card that I would not need otherwise.
holzy99,
NVFlashing is most useful -- but it also is useful to have a microSD card handy.
In the Q&A forum you will find a similar post I did on how to install CWM using a
microSD card in a pinch. When you need it, you need it!!!

Help needed in NV Flash
Sticky thanks for putting such a detailed guide and appreciate that very much. I followed your guide and i am stuck at the NV Flash started. I believe that I had a confusion while editing the nvflash.bat. I edited the NV Flash.bat as following:
"nvflash.exe" --bct gtablet.bct --setbct --bl bootloader.bin --download 9 part9.img --create --go
@set /p batuserinput=Press enter to continue:
Please let me know if I an making a mistake here.
punjabigator,
You were very, very close. The command line needs to be \
exactly what was in the Procedure:
"nvflash.exe" --bl bootloader.bin --download 9 part9.img
Change it to that and try again.

I am going to receive my gtablet this weekend and the first thing I was planning to do was install cyanogenmod. According to the guide on the cyanogenmod website (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Viewsonic_G_Tablet:_Full_Update_Guide), they do not mention anything about nvflash. Is that really required. This is the first time I am modding. Thanks
still stuck in boot loop
Tried this .bat change, it did complete successfully but there were no changes.
Now I can turn it on and have SV birds/gtablet screen changing and shutting off at the end. I can use Nvflash but like I said, regular .bat or this modified didnt work.

Problems with NVFlash
Ok so I have CWM and BL 1.1 on my GTab. I would like to move to BL 1.2 so that I can install a 1.2 Honeycomb.
I also only have access to linux.
So I got the Linux NVFlash tool. I try to get into APX mode and that just boots me into the CWM recovery. NVFlash does not find my GTab.
lsusb shows:
Bus 004 Device 031: ID 0955:7100 NVidia Corp.
Then when I try ./nvflash_gtablet.sh I get:
Nvflash started
UnKnown device found
Done!
Nothing happens.
What am I missing? Has anybody found a good Linux how to?
Thanks

Yep same problem for me.
New gtab 2.1
Followed cyangen install instructions in the update guide and there was no mention of differences between 1.x and 2.x platforms. SO of course I put a 1.x CMW on my 2.1 platform. Cant boot into recovery. Can boot into the god aweful stock rom.
Followed the NVflash instructions. Installed drivers.
One interesting note is that after finding the apx device, pointing to the drivers, and completing the install (windows of course), there is no apx anything in my drivers lists.
Im in desperate need of getting CMW on this thing.
THanks for you help.

Can you expound alot!!! What rom are you on, what were you doing, what do you mean by can't boot from any media, etc. Be as detailed as you can so we can assist you.
I think I might be missing something and I apologize if you feel like you are repeating yourselves but when you edit the .bat file what exactly do you put in the file? If someone could just paste into here what it looks like that would be really helpful.

The usual DISCLAIMER: Use at your own risk!
Fastboot mode usually comes up if something went wrong when trying to flash a recovery image, for example when flashing AmonRa recovery or ClockWorkMod. It happened to me several times so I tried to learn to revive it without reflashing the original firmware. Note: This tutorial works only if recovery is the only one broken. (If the ROM itself is broken, then that's a subject for another tut.) In this case, the most logical thing to do is just reflash the recovery image. So how do you do it in fastboot mode? Here's how:
Symptom
You tried flashing a custom recovery like ClockWorkMod or Thunderg, or you flashed an incorrect ROM, and when you rebooted, it showed this screen:
Code:
fastboot mode started
udc_start()
and the phone stays there. When you plugin the phone to your computer's USB, it is detected and the screen has this display:
Code:
fastboot mode started
udc.start()
-- suspend --
-- reset --
-- portchange --
-- reset --
-- portchange --
You will need
1) Your PC and your USB cable for the phone
2) USB drivers for your phone (use B2C from LG).
3) Android SDK (download from here)
4) Java, required to run the SDK (but right now I am not sure if this is required to run fastboot!)
5) ClockWorkMod or AmonRa Recovery.
Here's what to do
1) Assuming phone is turned on in fastboot mode, plug it in to the USB of your PC. You will know that it is detected if you see the the lines "suspend", "reset" and whatnot on the phone's screen.
2) Extract the recovery image from the zipfile downloaded from step#5 above (e.g. LGp500-recovery-v12.img). Place the image file in the same folder where fastboot.exe is (usually in the tools\ folder in the SDK). For your convenience, rename the img file as recovery.img
3) Fire up your command prompt and cd to the directory where fastboot.exe is located. Then type the following command:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
Once you get the confirmation that it was successful, type this:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once you get the success confirmation, reboot the phone, or you can also type (optional):
Code:
fastboot reboot
The phone will reboot itself, and with any luck you should be able to go back to your same old Android bootscreen. Note that no settings were modified here, so this is extremely useful for those who do not want a clean slate after a fastboot nightmare.
Also, note that if this is successful, you can now boot to recovery with the usual button-combos, thus enabling you to flash ROMs and other recovery zips.
Note: On some SDK versions, fastboot may not be included. For your convenience, I have attached the fastboot binary I got from my downloaded SDK. I have also attached AdbWinApi.dll which some user reported is missing in the SDK. Place the DLL in the same folder where fastboot.exe is located.
Questions, just drop me a line here

I'm afraid your issue may not be a subject for this tutorial. Fastboot mode is activated when the phone's recovery image is broken. May I know how you are sure that the recovery is actually broken?

How did you install CWM 6.0.1.3? Did you use ROM Manager? If so, that is your problem.
You need to get a working recovery installed.
Are you sure you could not get into APX Mode? It is a black screen and the only indication is that your computer detects new hardware.
If you cannot get into APX to use EasyFlasher or NVFlash, is your tablet recognized as an ADB device in CWM? If so you can push a new recovery using the dd command. I would recommend checking out TWRP.
To install TWRP via ADB, download the latest TWRP from here: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/tf101/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.2.3-tf101.blob
Save it as TWRP.blob in an easy to find place (like c:\TWRP.blob)
Connect your tablet to your PC and update the driver and use the Universal Naked Drivers
Put the adb.exe file in the c:\ folder as well (in the EasyFlasher Tools folder)
Open a command prompt (WIN+R, type CMD and click OK)
Code:
adb devices
(if connected, should show a device connected)
adb push c:\TWRP.blob /sdcard/
adb shell
cd /sdcard/
ls -a -l
(check for TWRP.blob)
dd if=/sdcard/TWRP.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
reboot
Do not try to enter recovery until after it reboots past the Eee Pad logo (and shows the progress indicator). This is when it acutally updates the recovery.
Once you see it get past the Eee Pad screen hold VOL DOWN and POWER for about 12-15 seconds and then press VOL UP once you see the small text and it should boot to TWRP recovery.
Here are the ADB commands to run:
When I connect to PC it makes the connection sound but doesn't show as a removable drive so I can't use Easyflash or any program like that also like I said APX mode wont work it makes the sound that it detects the tablet but then makes the remove sound right away. and this happened when I installed the Cyangenmod 9. I found someone who says he may be able to fix it for $50 using Odin but I am worried that he wont be able to and its an hour drive to take it to him... At this point I just want it back to stock ...
erm... ODIN won't work with a transformer, it's only for samsung devices.
Alright, you probably used ROM manager judging by your Recovery version.
You need to just NvFlash the device back to stock:
Download your region's Stock ROM from here: (WW if outside of US, US if inside.) Stock Rom
Download Wheelie NvFlash tool from here: Wheelie
Unzip the stock rom .zip first, into it's own folder. Then unzip the wheelie tar.bz2 into the folder you just made by unzipping the stock rom. Overwrite any files with the wheelie files.
Next find out your Sbk variant, Look at the serial number on the sticker on the bottom of your tablet.
If it says B70, or a higher number like B80 or any C, then you are Sbkv2
If the number is B60 or lower, you are Sbkv1.
Remember this for the next step.
Make sure the tablet is off totally, Then hold the Volume-UP key and Then press power, keep holding volume up. It will enter APX mode.
Plug it into your computer, the screen will stay blank.
It should be detected, if it says unknown device or similar, use the windows device manager to select the 'asus bootloader interface' or 'Unknown device' or similar, with Nvidia ASUS or APX or Bootloader, something along those lines, to update the driver, right click this and navigate to the 'usbpcdriver' folder in the folder you unzipped earlier. It will install and detect.
Then run the .bat file that says Reflash_(Your Sbk version).bat while the tab is connected in apx mode.
It will return to stock, give it time, DO NOT UNPLUG IT.
The screen may flash, and the tablet may/will reboot.
When done you will be on Stock latest from ASUS.
If you want safe root / recovery, download and run my PERI tool, link in signature.
good luck.
ok I am trying that now but I wish I had someone to walk me through everything in real time...

I had similiar problem when I tried to downgrade and go back to stock. After flashing stock from asus, I did it wrong by unzipping (stock_ics_kernel_9.2.1.24US-secure) first then flash the file under the downloaded zip files. Now I am also stuck at Eee Pad, can't get into recovery because it probably wiped out everything. Hopefully this can recover my Eee Pad!!!! I got my fingers cross. This may be my only hope for my asus pad .

Hi.
It's been some time since i tried fixing my Asus Transformer...
The problem is : If it has battery life. It boot's and gets stuck on the first screen.
With the logo "eee pad" .
If i turn it off, it automaticly reboots and gets stuck in the same screen.
If i try to get into recovery mode.
Vol down, Powerup... and the vol up , i can see the few line's of code , saying it will boot into recovery mode.
but while trying to start recovery mode the icon changes to a fallen android and an "! triangle above it
I've been looking around forums evrywhere but i cant find a solution for my exact problem.
can anyone help?
Quickly, with the info you provided, I would think your firmware or storage may be damaged.
Can you access ADB? Sometimes you can while it boots, even if it doesn't fully boot. That would allow you to check logs and back up data.
Can you access APX? It has nothing to do with Android, it's a part of the device made by Asus to allow you to "inject" a firmware inside the device while it's in "brick" state.
If you can access ADB, you can "pull" the files you want from the device to your computer. You can see information on ADB here. Basically you install the package from google and connect the device to your computer, then run a set of commands.
If you can access APX (chances are you can unless there's hardware damage), then EasyFlasher can push a stock firmware back to the device. This will wipe your device 100% back to stock and you will lose all your files.

APX mode is just a black screen, but your PC will install drivers and see the device when you enter that mode
Hold Volume up & Power until the USB connect sound appears, now you are in APX mode - there will be nothing on the screen of the transformer until you are flashing a new ROM maybe
What serial number is your TF ?
NVFlash is the quickest way to get back to 100% working stock

But it says the installation failed.
my serial number of my TF is B60KAS032926

NVFlash is supported for your serial number, make sure you are running the download.bat as Administrator (Right click > Run as Admin)
Remove any other USB devices from the PC (apart from your keyboard and mouse)
Connect the TF to the PC > Power off the TF > Hold Vol up and Power until USB connects, run download.bat as Admin

I used the NVFLASH_ICS_9.2.1.27_WW_NOROOT
and running download.bat with admin its starts a terminal.
after this is done, i see 2 lines of information on my Asus transformer. only chip Uid and Nv3P server

That's good, its working, you can watch command prompt I think if it stays open to watch the progress as it sends the files across, can't remember exactly, but the TF should reboot on its own when its done
It can take 10mins or more iirc so just leave it to do its thing, then it shoot boot up
The only thing I remember having to do, was once it had booted, and I manually reboot the TF, it would hang on a black screen (Only that first reboot though) holding power for around 30 seconds, then powering on normally fixed it and it never does it again, just that first boot
Might not even happen on yours, could be a fault on my TF

You could flash the pre-rooted versions too although I think it's easy enough to root yourself these days
This is the XDA Fileserver for different ROMs if you need them
http://www.xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Asus/Asus+Transformer+(TF101)
I was just reading someone else who had the same display stuck on their TF while trying to use NVFlash and they said re-downloading the ROM and trying it again fixed it
So if this fails for some reason, try another NVFlash ROM from the XDA Server

NVFlash contains everything you need, ROM and NVFlash tools to install it to the TF, I've used that exact same download on mine so it should be working
Did you have any progress showing in command prompt ?
It should say something like
Deleting partition
1
2
3
4
5 etc
Then creating partiton
1
2
3
4
5etc
Then sending boot.img
sending system.img <<<<< This one takes a while
Try it a few times until you start seeing progress in CMD, if you don't see it after a few minute, cancel it again try again
There is also a Linux version of NVFlash you could try

Did the TF not reboot on its own ?
Have you tried booting it manually by holding power for 30 seconds then powering on normally ?
That all looks like its working fine, sending the files across
EDIT - I`ll upload an older version that I have saved, it has a different file structure and uses .img instead of .blob
EDIT - Try this NVFlash

I Just Tried the linux NvFlash.
and the boodloader sending = send succesfully
but the next step it says : "File not found: recovery.img"
Failed executing command .... NvError 0x4
Command failure: create failed.
I'm nog going to try the last NVversion you linked with my Windows PC
EDIT: And the other NvFlash version you linked me, does the same...after it being sent, the CMD closes and thats it

I think maybe the linux version is the older .img version, and the files are .blob so it can't find anything
The one I linked you is the .img windows version, hopefully you'll have more luck with that
If not, put all the .img files into the linux folder and try it that way

Great news! Linux vs Linux did the trick
How long have you been without your TF until now? It'll be like having a new toy again I would imagine
Hi can anyone help me plz i am trying to install FLATLINE[ on my tf700t running cromix 5.03 i decided to post in general section since i cant post in development thread as yet.
I have successfully setup fastboot and installed drivers etc on my computer, (im using windows 8)
But every time i enter fastboot command (fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery flatline_tf700) i get error: cannot load flatline_tf700 :no error
I have attached a screen shoot of the fastboot command. I have the flatline_tf700 img in the same folder where i installed minimal ADB and fastboot tool.

Looks like you don't, or you mistyped the file name, or you forgot the file extension.

Omg thanks _that the spelling of the file was wrong i got it to work i successfully generated the blobs but i dont know what i should do now
Please adb pull /data/media/AndroidRoot
Where do i type this on the same cmd on computer or do i need to reboot devices and use terminal on device to do this sorry for being so noobie been trying all day to get this working
I tried the adb pull/data/media/AndroidRoot on the miminal fastboot tool but it just says waiting for devices and nothing happens.

To use adb, the device must be in Android with USB debugging on.

Wew this thing is harder than i taught, thanks for clearing things up for me.
Ok now another problem adb is running im able to identify that my device is connected by typing adb devices all is good.
The problem now is that when i type adb pull/data/media/AndroidRoot it doesnt work it just list the different adb commands i also tried adb pull /tmp/AndroidRoot from the tutorial but this doesnt work either and i made sure i checked spelling its all good.
Im able to navigate to data/media/AndroidRoot using ES file explorer and the blob.bin file is in there.
So i decided to boot into apx mode and was successful but when i run wheelie.exe from computer the black pop up box (cmd window) just opens for like a sec and closes i think it says specify blob file or something like that. So i copied the blob.bin file from tablet using es explorer and then copied it to my computer where the wheelie.exe file is but still no luck. Im really stressed trying to do this am i doing something wrong?
You don't run wheelie directly.... Put it with your blob file and fastboot, and adb and nvflash than execute it from your terminal. Hope that hleps

That works only directly after creating the blobs while still booted inside the recovery.

Open the cmd window first, then run wheelie with the correct command line options as described in the guide.
