[Q] Installed 1.4.0 Tiamat on WIFI Xoom

Sorry as I am new I can not post in Dev yet.
1.4 went in without a hitch.
Downloaded from XDA to Xoom.
Used root explorer to move it from sdcard to sdcard2.
Used Clockworks to go into recovery
Mounted USB (not sure this was needed as I had it already had it on the external sdcard.)
Flashed from zip
Everything looks good. Third Quadrant score 3285 1.504mhz
One issue I wanted to point out. The new kernel flash somehow completely wiped my external SD card!!! All the folders and files gone. I have not gone and reread to see if I was supposed to do something to prevent this but I do not think so. I wish I could post this in the thread in Dec but I just recently joined and read alot before I post so as to not ask questionsthat have already been answered.
Does anyone have any info on the SD card being wiped from the tiamat 1.4 flash?
So wanted to let people know that having a backup of your SD cards data might be a good idea.
This Forum is awesome with some great very gifted members!!! BigRushDog and those helping him are fantastic to do this work to move this platform forward! Thank you very much. Donation will be sent.

Zoom WIFI
Rooted
1.4 Tiamat kernel
1.504 Overclocked

its in a new folder created on xoom called "external"...nothings gone, just moved to a more realistic location... use a file explorer, go to sd card, and its there.

ok now I feel stupid!?!
Thank you!!
Not sure how I missed that.
Thanks again

ok yes its all there of course lol
So is 'external' now the root of the external sd card and sdcard2 is now only an internal folder on the Zoom in the sdcard folder?

OK this 1.4.0 kernel is nice. I am getting my best Quadrant scores yet. Set at 1.504 and govern: performance. I hit an all time high of 3389. With some tweaks 3500 could be doable. Now if they would publish honeycomb source as promised.

[Q] Revolution HD

Hi,
After reading almost everything here on this site I still can't install Revolution HD on my TF 101. First it was difficult to get root acces, but now I have root acces, now my external SD card is nowhere to be seen.
When I push volume down and power everything goes well, untill I want to go to my sd card.
On my phone everything went well, but when I have root acces on my phone the text is gold and on my TF101 the text in root acces is blue.
I don't know if this is important but I thought let's mention it anyway.
I really hope somebody can tell me how I can find my sd card with the Revolution HD zip file.
I did everything what they say here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245892

You have to put the zip file on your internal storage, not your microSD card.

I'm not fully sure myself, but, I believe this depends on the version of clockworkmod you installed. Version 3 supports SDcard install while version 5 does not. I ran into this recently because I like installing roms from my sdcard.

I think I have it from my phone, on my Optimus 2X I have CM 7.2.0 and there I flashed from my extern SD card. Maybe because of that I got confused.

hi,
first of all I'm not english so excuse me for the approximative language
So I have exactly the same problem that's how i found this thread... but someone can explain how i put the .zip file directly on the tablet ? when i plug TF101 to my computer i can't access to it.
so i install a lot of things (Android SDK) and USB Drivers but nothing appear...(i tried .... )
thanks

I had the exact same problem, after flashing a couple of JB ROMS, I came back to Revolution. The fix I found was to enable MTP option on the tablet.
Settings ->Storage -> USB Computer Connection (Tap the 3 vertical squares at the top right) -> Select Media device (MTP).
Hope this helps.

[Q] I screwed up (Solved)

I was trying to update a friends transformer to ICS (revolver) and I forgot that you have to put the zip on the internal storage (at least that's the only way I know how to do it) I'm using roach CWM based 5.5.0.4, I was playing around in there and, this is where I really screwed up, wiped /system. I have adb access and I'm in recovery but there's no rom installed on the tab because of me wiping /system. The rom is on the sd card (not the internal storage labeled as sdcard, an actual sd card). I tried pushing it from adb but I was probably doing it wrong. I was looking for a way to mount the internal storage but I didn't see any. I've tried several options but none have worked so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

so why don't you just install the rom from the microSD?
You have a 5.xxx recovery, and that allows you to install zips from microSD. Just pop that into a PC and copy the rom file on it. Select install from microsd and there you go...
PS: wiping /system doesn't format the internal storage...

I have the rom on the external sd card. I tried the flash from sd and it was looking at the internal "virtual" sd card. I didn't see an option to switch to the external sd and I think there are some recoverys that use the external sd as default but I haven't been able to find one. If I did find one it would have to be an image so I could flash it through bootloader.
I was looking for a .img file to flash through bootloader but couldn't find one of those. I tried adb push to get the .zip onto the internal storage but, and I'm sure I was doing something wrong, that didn't work.

wait wait wait... just to clarify, are you using the full size sd card on the dock?
LE: what's your sbk version? if you're sbk1, you can also use nvflash

I think the guy said MicroSD up there, the one you inserted on the side. But the onboard CWM only detect the internal virtual SDcard.
Now he screwed because of the full wipe prior flashing while the intended Rom was placed in the MicroSD..
Yea, if the transformer comes with B70 or below, then you can use Flash to do the magic.

no, no dock. I'm using the external micro sd.
So I finally got it to push, I renamed the file ics.zip because I didn't feel like typing out the whole file name and because I used .zip at the end the file was actually ics.zip.zip, that's why it couldn't find it.
cmd says:
C:\Transformer>adb push ics.zip /sdcard
1333 KB/s <268182367 bytes in 196.431s>
It pushed but now I just tried "choose zip from sdcard" and I got "couldn't open directory. No files found"
Edit: For some reason nothing was showing up at all on the internal storage so I rebooted back into recovery and all the files that were there before returned. I didn't see my ics.zip in there though which was odd but in searching through the folders i found an older version of a rom I flashed on there when I first rooted it. It's on the welcome screen right now.

Thanks for your input, you were most helpful.
BTW, I did research and the problem is solved now, you'd have noticed if you read.

And no you didn't research anything.
Any ADB guide would tell you to push files to /data/media for internal storage, not /sdcard

Hm interesting... Why wouldnt you be able to push to /sdcard/ (notice the extra slash)?
Is that folder not mounted correctly while in recovery? Ive never tried ADB in recovery, only in android and push to /sdcard/ works just fine.
pushing anything to /sdcard does not work though (notice the lack of the extra slash). Might be my rom but doubt it since its the same on my phone and other tablet...

Like you said, /sdcard is wrong.
The correct paths are /sdcard/, /data/media, and /data/media/.
Most ADB guides posted on this forum use /data/media(/) though.

horndroid said:
So much fail in this thread.
1. Because his version of CWM doesn't support microSD
2. Since when does 5.xxx recovery support installing from MicroSD?
3. wiping /system doesn't format internal storage but it wipes out the OS so there is no OS to boot into.
The correct path for pushing files to internal storage on TF101 is /data/media
Do some friggin research before you do things, wow.

1.&2. his version might not support it and since i'm using Rogue XM Recovery v1.3.0 (CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7), i just thought being v5 it would. It was just a fast answer, no need for your superiority complex.
3. *you don't say meme*

Don't help if you don't feel to.. With your high in moron wouldn't do good for the public seeking for assistant here.
There's alot others intelligent guys around with good manner will come forward..
I respect your knowledge level but you too come from zero at some point way before in the past..

There are a lot of people like him in all the forums, it's best just to walk away. I'm not new but I wasn't thinking clearly due to lack of sleep. Also the tf101 wasn't mine, I forgot how Asus had the storage set up, and I was thinking it would have the same path whether you were booted or through ADB. I knew I screwed up, that's why I said it right in the title. Oh well, it's fixed now. The problem is that a lot of people turn developers and newbies away by acting like that.

[HOW TO FIX] Corrupted External SD

So you were formatting your sd card and for some reason or another it was interrupted, and now your sd card can't be mounted by android or cwm, making it "impossible" to format and resolve the issue.
Some say nothing is impossible. I disagree with those people, lots of things as impossible. Recovering your SD is not one of those things.
SIMPLE FIX:
Install TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) v2.2.0 (sorry, no help with this step here, read their instructions [can be found within the development section for our devices])
touch the "Wipe" button
touch the "External Storage" button
Slide the "Swipe to Wipe" indicator to the right and watch the impossible happen
congrats, if your corruption was due to an interrupted read/write/format, your issue is now resolved.
BACKGROUND:
I was formatting my sd via pc to get the trash off my phone, using a crappy cable, and it got interrupted. I spent an hour or so on the interwebs, trying different things, then read that this method worked on some htc device, so I figured it should work for us too since the configuration is similar, and it did.Because of this, I take no credit for this tut, simply sharing/rewording what iI found.

Thanks for the informative post.

Thank you for the post but TWRP doesn't seem to support many devices!!

I need to try this! I have a few nonworking cards and they're not even good for paperweights. Thank you!

[Q] Reboot loop

I bought a new Kingston 32gb class10 microsdcard, because i decided to test Data2sd on my tf700.
I installed data2sd zip from recovery and when I booted up it said "Encryption unsuccessful", and I can only reset tablet.
I cant make a factory reset as it just reboots and displays "Encryption unsuccessful" again. I can go into recovery TWRP but all my files on my internal storage is gone, so I cant flash CROMI again.
So I copied the CROMI rom on my 32GB fat32 formatted card, but in TWRP console it says E: Unable to mount '/external_sdcard'
I should have never done this
Can anyone help please?

Apparently you didn't partition or format your card correctly - did you use gparted?

This indeed sounds like yo uare one of the many many, many that still used MiniTool, our warnings notwithstanding. Try Gparted.
Furthermore, if you can access any other storage partition in TWRP and would like to copy your backup(s) so you can reinstall you can do so with the AROMAFile Manager found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
Boot into recovery, flash the AFM zip file and it will start the file manager. It's a convenient option to have, but it does take a little getting used to.

I used minitool. Any gparted alternative on windows machines? I have ubuntu on my virtual machine but it cant see the internal card reader :/
TWRP couldnt recognize my Kingston 32gb, thats why it was unable to mount it. I used a old 512mb sd card and I have managed to install CROMI again. Awesome!
One thing I find confusing reading the Data2SD thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962507)
I am confused as to whether I need 2 partitions or 1. I always transfer files between my tablet and computer via USB cable. So should I make one 32gb ext4 partition? Or make a small 8mb fat32 partition and the second as my ext4 partition?

Allright got my questions answered else where.
I am using the Gparted CD to boot up from and format my SD card.
To anyone else do not use MiniTool as it doesnt work!
Thanks guys.

If I'd come ina bit sooner, I'd had advised youthe route you haven taken so props for your self-sufficiency. :victory:
I have already taken up the issue with MiniTool still being recommended with a senior moderator.

Yeah saw your post on Data2sd thread. The post Muffin has made should be edited, as ppl tend to read the first 3 posts from the op and not the replies... Oh well no harm other than many posts from users. For a second I thought I turned my tablet to a brick..

Yeah, the latter effect is what I'm trying to stop: I was in the same situation, with the added bonus of nobody having figured out how to recover. It took me an entire evening and a lot of stress to get back my microSD card after it stopped working altogether. Once a thread gets more than, say, 300 posts you can't really blame a new reader for not going through all of them -- the OP should be updated, however, when an issue is as clearly established as this one is.
