Hi all, I'm on a Transformer b90 running the .19 kernal with root. For some reason when I open rom manager I tap on flash recovery and see no option to flash for the Transformer? Is there a special rom mananger I have to use? I've searched and can't find any thread or problem like mine... Any help would be awesome and i'll honor you like a god.
ROM Manager is not compatible with the Transformer.
Use RecoveryInstaller by Gnufabio

Rom manager does not work on he transformer, search the market for RecoveryInstaller and intall it. it will put CWM on your system. Another program you will want Boot to recovery to make it easy to boot into CWM.

Likethe title says does ROM manager work on tablets?
Yes, Rom Manager works. You have to have Version 3.0.0.7 or higher to load the Clockwork Mod. Used it yesterday as a matter of fact.

Bekit's version of ClockworkMod v.08 works with GTAB.

When you start using rom manager and use any other recovery but bekit 0.8 go over the development thread and look for nvflash because your gonna need it pretty soon. Rom Manager is NOT recommended for the Gtab. Using any other recovery but bekit 0.8 is a quick way to bork your tab.
You can do everything that is usefully about rom manager in clockwork recovery once you load in bekits version for gtab. You can partition and fix permissions from the advanced options in recovery mode.

Rom manager working yet
So there is an img posted for the viewsonic gtab at:
well, as noob, I can't post the link.
so google for:
my brain hurts rom manager
and then look down the page.
But no instructions on how to apply this img file.
I'm guessing via a manual install, etc...
However, is this compatabile with the clockworkmod recovery version ?
Anyone know if this img will no longer brick the gtab ?
and if I try it and brick the device can I nvflash recover ?
or does it boat anchor the device ?
It would be handy to do nandroid backups from the desktop, but not critical.
thanks
Best to just not try it...
AS far as I can tell, from reading posts, Rom Manager does one thing really well, softbricking G-Tablets.
I wanted to know if there was any difference between accessing CWM via holding down the SGS4G buttons during boot and opening Rom Manager and telling it to boot into CWM.
Thanks,
Jeremy
The CWM version from ROM manager is broken for our phones. If you're on Froyo I recommend you uninstall it and then install the Bali 3.3 kernel so you can get a working version with voodoo etc.
If you want to be able to reboot into recovery, you can download the quickboot app which will let you do it without the 3 button combo.
OK. The CWM I used is one I downloaded from an xda article. I had to manually copy it to /system/bin.
The version is 3.2.0.0
If use that to flash will I be OK?
Thanks,
Jeremy
EDIT: never mind... I uninstalled Rom Manager and rebooted the phone to recovery using the quick boot app, then when I went to reinstall packages, I got into the version of CWM that everyone is referring to (3.0.2.8).
Thanks,
Jeremy
Good...yea dont use ROM manager it just causes a lot of problems

I had put my transformer back to stock for the ICS update. I have now installed that and rooted but I do not have recovery. Powering up while hold down vol does nothing. What is the correct way to flash that?
After I get that I want to flash a kernel to OC again.
Any help would be great. Thanks.

You can find Roach2010's CWM Recovery installer APK floating around the forum, or there is also Rogue XM Recovery that works. I have not experience with that one. Roach's you can just install the APK from the tablet and you are good to go.
Also, some searching around the forum you would note that ASUS has not released the kernel source. This means that dev's cannot compile a custom kernel, and no OCing for ICS yet.
Thank you.
I did search and just thought I was wrong about the kernel.

Rogue XM Recovery is the preferred recovery. Much better than Roaches.
ICS Kernels... don't exist until ASUS releases source for ICS kernel.
RecoveryInstaller (both version)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22359727&postcount=218
I tried both and the apps just freeze...
Any other ideas? I need my cwm back!!!
Whatever you do, DONT use the one that comes with ROM Manager off the market.
It caused mine and a couple of others to bootloop recovery.
If you have B60 and below series, you could NVflash Rogue recovery. This is what I did to install CWM after updating to ICS.

And some of the early B70 builds too. Mine, for example.

There are a couple threads in the dev section with an apk that can install cwm For you. Check it out...
Search for RecoveryInstaller app. I would stay away from ROM Manager to flash cwm recovery for now
Question please.
I am looking to root and flash my tf101. I have been doing a lot of reading /searching but I am still curious.
Are you not simply able to nvflash cwm then use cwn to install su.zip as well as whatever rom you like?
My preference is to avoid any toolkit as much as possible [personal preference].
If i missed something please let me know.

You need to download easy flash software and universal naked driver to use nvflash... once you have them rooting and installing CWM is just few mouse clicks away.... once you have cwm you can install any tf101 ROM you want... just remember do not install cwm 5.x.x.x as it reads only internal memory n not external MMC.. also please back up your existing OS with "back and recovery" option which is available in CWM... good luck

I did as you instructed above, it seemed to work fine.
Loaded the naked drivers [0.7] and ran easy flash from a windowx xp machine. tried to load TWRP 2.2.1. Easyflasher says it flashed, the screen says the update was successful, but it basically just seems to have corrupted the recovery [android with red exclamation mark above].
I have a B60 TF101, running 9.2.1.27, unrooted ATM.
Am I missing something as to why this did not work?

Android with red ! is your stock recovery. Try flashing TWRP via Goo Manager.
Get it from Play Store, open Goo manager, Menu (3 dots) and chose Install "OpenRecoveryScript"

SOLVED.
Problem was the PC I was trying to flash with.
Went to a newer Windows 7 based machine, worked perfectly. Great tool. Thanks for the heads up.
