I have a rooted transformer that wont boot (probably due me to replacing the build.prop file), i have a backup of the original file.
How can i access the internal storage so that i can replace the file in the system directory?
I can get to ClockworkMod Recovery but nothing in there will let me access the internal storage?

If you can get into CWM recovery, just flash the ROM again.
Also I have never tried it on the TF but in CWM there's a "mounts and storage", did you try that?
you can go through adb and move the files.
when mine wouldnt boot i ended up having to do the nvflash method in the dev section
although couldnt get my data off the the sd card as it has md5 mismatch so just started fresh with the nv flash

I am trying to restore my Gtab using a micro sd card. I already had Clockwork install. So here is the steps I use
On the SD card I reformatted it and add the "Recovery/ command with SD2 and save the file. I also update the update.zip file
So I held up the volume + and power and it rebooted to Clockworkmod recovery, but I can not access the SD2 card to install the update.zip file. So how can I reboot into the system restore and not Clockworkmod recovery. Please tell me if I am doing something wrong? I can not get it to continuing booting up

The /sdcard/recovery/command is only for when you have the stock recovery installed. You have clockwork installed.
Option 1) So what you need to do is put your update.zip onto your internal /sdcard partition when you are booted into your ROM. Then boot into clockwork, and run it.
Option 2) If you cannot boot into your ROM, hopefully you have a backup that you made in clockwork that you can restore to a working state. Then run the update.zip from clockwork.
Option 3) If you don't have a backup and cannot boot into your current ROM. You can push the update.zip to /sdcard with ADB.
adb push update.zip /sdcard
Do you know the instructions on how to use the adb push update.zip/sdcard?

Dang, so you don't have a working ROM and don't have a clockwork backup? If you don't have ADB setup either, then that does kinda put you in a bad position.
At least this will give you the incentive to setup ADB. Here is a guide: http://wiki.tegratab.com/index.php/Setting_up_ADB
Btw, that is the literal command when you get it working. Change directory to the update.zip, then:
"adb push update.zip /sdcard"

You could also go into clockwork and mount usb storage. Then copy the file to your tablet from your pc.
I was until to get the update file on the root on the internal mem but when I try to install it will not let me it just install update and go right to the Clockwork reboot screen
Is it a way I can completely bypass clockwork?
Was able to fix it guys thanks

That never crossed my mind to do.....thanks
My phone won't boot so I'm trying to use Clockworkmod to mound the USB storage so I can copy the zip files over and do an update using the recovery.
WHen I mount the usb, I see the sdcard on my PC. I copy the files onto it and they seem to be there, but when I go to install them using CWM, I can't see them and when I mount the USB again, the files are gone and I can only see what was originally on the sdcard!
Does anyone know why this would be or if I am doing something wrong?
Using Windows XP 64 and fastboot, Nexus S (now rooted and with CWM recovery, but still stock ROM)
I just tried formatting the sdcard using clockworkmod. It seemed to take a while and said it completed but when I mounted the USB Mass Storage, all the files were still there!
What is going on? Do I need to do something to allow the sdcard to be edited and/or changed in anyway?
Was trying to get the Data2SD mod on my tabby when I accidentally formatted data fromTWRP (Wipe->Format Data).
I don't have a backup.
I can boot to TWRP. I loaded CleanRom on to my external flash card then flashed it from twrp. It did not help. I am stuck in a boot loop at the Asus start up screen. Thought it might be a path issue so I copied it to the internal SD card and repeated the procedure. still no luck.
Does anybody know the steps required to get the tablet to load the OS again?

boot into twrp, do a factory reset, then flash cleanrom2.4, remove your micro sd card and see if it boot up.
Didn't work.
Something I noticed. i boot to twrp. use the file manager to copy a file from the /external_sdcard to the /sdcard. use the reboot option to shut down. boot to twrp again. check the /sdcard and the file is gone. /external_sdcard is fine but no files in /scard.
I can: copy CleanRom from /external_sdcard to /sdcard then install from /sdcard then reboot to twrp and the file i installed from in /sdcard is gone. still in /external_sdcard though.
If i
1) copy CleanRom from /external_sdcard to /sdcard
2) copy that file (/sdcard/CleanRom) to /
the operation fails in step 2) and twrp gets freaky(flashing the blue teamwin screen) and has to be rebooted. of course when i reboot, the only place i can find the file is in /external_scard.
if I:
1) copy CleanRom to / directory
2) copy that file (/CleanRom) to /sdcard
i get the same problem as mentioned above, twrp gets freaky and must be rebooted.
if I:
1) copy CleanRom from /external_sdcard to /sdcard
2) try to rename /sdcard/CleanRom
The operation fails, but no reboot.
i'm using the twrp file manager for all of these operations as i can't get booted to the OS.
btw i'm using twrp v2.3.1.0 and cleanRom2.4

Seems like something is corrupted. Do a clean install - Use twrp and flash Asus full rom.
Would the "Asus Rom" be CN_epad-user-10.4.4.20.zip? I found this on the Asus site.

Look at the build numbere in about tablet, is it US or CN or what?
First off, Thanks for the help. My tabby is once again living.
I actually downloaded this and tried it yesterday. It would not flash so I assumed that the problem was elsewhere. This time i took a closer look and found the problem. It would only flash from /external_sd, and I was trying from / or /sdcard. Also it had an error when mounting /system so i went into the twrp mount screen and manually mounted /system. At that point it flashed successfully. I rebooted after the flash and ended up in a boot loop at the Asus bios screen. I tried to go back into recovery but the flash of the Asus image removed twrp, so all that was available was Android recovery. I tried recovery option, but it halted on the "dead android" screen. I tried wipe data and then it worked!
Didn't realize the CN (guess I should went EN) was a language. flashed it anyway and seems to be working. Would there be any ill effects?
When I get home tonight I will put twrp back on and continue the process of destruction...I mean modding!
I just finished installing Maximus rom up to the part where I have to reflash the rom after firmware update. When I'm booted in android, I can copy the rom to my sdcard (I used "download" folder). However, when I get into recovery and click install, the only folder available on sdcard was "twrp". When I mounted the storage from twrp, Windows ask me to reformat my sdcard, but says only 50 megabytes is available. Can someone help me out please?
Side mount in twrp, copy ur stuff if you can and then format sdcard. and do a clean flash afterwards.Try that.

Something went wrong when flashing firmware. Make sure the hboot is 2.16 and make sure you have flash modified twrp from maximushd.
Sent from my HTC One S
Just hit the same problem, in addition my sideload doesnt work, but i figured this out:
the partition for /sdcard is only 50mb the missing 12gb ar on a partition called /internal_sdcard
currently trying to push the rom toward this dir

Which version of recovery are you using? Tried to switch to last version?
Okay, i did it now without sideload:
push rom to /data/media
somehow the partition for /data/media received 12gb
with twrp you can flash the rom from there, after the rom is installed you will have acces to the 12gb again when conecting the phone via USB cable
i recently bought a galaxy tab s2 8inch tablet (sm-t719). i want to root it
i am following:-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7JjDfeIyRI and http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/development/twrp-3-0-2-1-galaxy-tab-s22016-sm-t713-t3390627
this is what i did until now:-
1) i copied the supersu zip file to the tablet
2) i ran odin on my laptop and i installed twerp on the tablet
3) i tried to do backup of boot, system and data. it said failed and cannot mount /data
4) it failed because:-
At the moment TWRP isn't working with encryption, this means the DATA Partition and internal storage cannot be mounted.
To mount the Data partition encryption needs to be removed and the boot image patcher needs to be flashed below.
This can be done via the FORMAT DATA button under the WIPE option in TWRP.
5) i did the format data and i got stuck. i dont know what to do next
i am unable to find the supersu zip file that i copied to the tablet. also if i say reboot then the tablet is not booting up and this is because of:-
After formatting DATA the boot image patcher can be flashed with TWRP. The boot image patcher MUST be flashed before booting the device to system.
what do i do next?
should i get an external sd card, put card in my laptop and copy on it the supersu zip file and the boot image patcher, put the sd card in the tablet then install the supersu and flash the image boot patcher? is this the only way?
@cns00 your status for now??? Did you able to boot or it won't turn on ????
i can turn on but i cant boot. it said i need to flash the image boot patcher so i can boot and i didnt do that
i put tablet in download mode. can i install the UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323.zip by using odin instead of doing it in twerp? if yes how?
can i flash the no-verity-no-encrypt_ashyx.zip by using odin instead of doing it in twerp? if yes how?
or do i need to get an external sd card and put both zip files on it and do it in twerp?
