HELP!!!! Transformer froze in Recovery - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was having an issue with an OC kernel that I installed on my Transformer so I rebooted back into recovery. I sat my tablet down to take a phone call, and came back to the tablet and now its froze. Do I have to actually wait until it dies?

hold power button till it restarts then you shold be able to get into recovery or go into apx mode and nvflash your rom

you have to flash a different kernel from recovery quick before it freezes again, happened to me a few times

Same problem... for resolved that, full wipe with script on Revolution HD post

Try flashing back the ROM related stock Kernel and see what happens (should fix the problem directly)
If not then try to flash back your backup (in case you did that).
If the recovery is completely frozen and you cant flash anything than the only resource is nvflash the rom you want.
For that full wipe is recommended.

TF101 B80 stuck on ASUS boot screen

My tablet recently froze when i was not able to turn off my wifi in the settings of my Revolution 3.1 ROM. I have tried to boot up since this and now it is stuck on the ASUS boot screen with the circle.
I am able to boot to cwm 3.2.0.1 and wipe data/flash the rom again, but no matter what I do, it is stuck on the same screen.
I recently tried doing a cold boot and a factory reset/wipe data in the recovery menu, but when i choose to wipe data, after it loads the recovery kernal image, all i get is the android triangle.
What else can I try?
I have the same problem with my TF101. Are you able to find a solution to your problem.

Maybe a problem in kernel or /system partition, try to flash the ROM again may fix the problem.

I have the same problem.....
I rooted, installed Rom Manager to get CWM Recovery installed and then flashed the new CyanogenMod 10 - B1 ♦ K.A.T. As soon as I restarted, after it appeared that the flash went fine, it hung at the boot screen - not frozen just wont go any further.
I tried rebooting by holding the power button, I tried re-flashing both the CY 10 and the original Rom and tried "restoring" my backed up rom.
I have tried recovering through Easy Flasher but I don't think my PC is seeing the transformer properly.
I have ADB drivers installed but because the TF dose not boot properly it dose not seem to get there.
I have let the battery drain as some report a resolve when they get it to power down all the way but as soon as I plug it in and power it up it goes back to the boot screen and stays there.
Please help as I cant afford to lose this pad (yes I knew the risks).

Same issue, I can't get my computer to recognize the tablet to push any files to it, and I can't mount it from TWRP. What can I do?
Have you guys tried wiping out before flashing? Wipe out the cache,system, and all other partitions.

Unrooting using CWM

I've been trying to unroot my eee pad transformer using CWM and the method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527931 but with little luck. When I go to reboot with CWM it reboots and the loading bar appears but once its done it just goes back to the normal booting process (with the asus logo etc). Im using CWM 5.0.0.6. Any ideas on how I can fix this? I wouldn't normally make a thread but I'm selling my tablet so I want to restore it to the defaults asap.
Try a different (maybe older) version of CWM.

Recovery loop ****** fixed******** With resolution

For all who are having issues with custom recovery not working, rebooting etc. flash the linked file. The issue stems from using reboot to recovery commands in android rather than using vol-,power button combo from power off. In the future, ONLY use the combo.
Major thanks to gee one for the file.

Been on various versions of ics for a while now. As I don't use my tf all the time (might go a couple of weeks without touching) i came to update to latest revolver today and every time I reboot it takes me back to cwm. I can cold boot into the system but thats not a good resolution, especially as i am thinking of selling.
Tried wiping system, reflashing and booting from cwm or off.

Did you use ROM manager to flash CWM? It can cause bootloops.. Try roaches repacked touch thread, he's got a diff of the fix there.
Hmm. Tried flashing roaches touch but it wont stick. Also tried updating to the latest from rom manager but that wont stick either.
I use 4ext recovery on my desire z but the app isnt available from tablets (mine anyway).
I run linux and dont have adb setup. Is there any other way to flash recovery?

No, what I mean is, use the fix in Roach's thread to fix recovery. Don't just ROM manager, it just doesn't work on the tf101 very well. Use Gnufabio's RecoveryInstaller app (in development) to flash CWM 3.2.0.1 then update to a later if you wish, manually without ROM manager.
^^
Reading your post, if you have no access to android on your tab (you have ubuntu only) then you need to set up adb to fix it. I assume you're running android though.
Your right. I could cold boot to android. After following your aim I landed on a nice little file to flash that wipes the reboot to recovery. The initial issue was worse than I thought. Anything I flashed wouldn't take regardless of what the scrolling text said.
Even though this thread is so short I am going to update the OP with the details for others as it seems quite a common issue.
To summarise, its all fixed.

The bad thing is .. I can't even cold boot into android ..
As of my knowledge cold-booting is volume-down + power.
This only takes me to recovery again, no matter what I do..
So when you hit the button combo do you see the asus screen with some writing at the top left? Something along the lines of 'press up for recovery or wait 5 secs for other options'.

If you can access adb shell from recovery, flash a new recovery using:
su
dd if=/your/blob/here of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4
reboot
Place the recoveryblob extracted from the CWM flashable zip somewhere on your tf accessible from cwm.

Had to use it tonight big thanks..
I have the same problem, after flash a kernel [KERNEL][ICS] Harmony (OC/UV), boot loop on recovery (rogue XM 1.5.0), tried in adb to push a recovery blob, but don't work....
Line error is /sbin/sh: push: not found
The same with the other comand, like: device, /sbin/sh: device: not found
I have tried a flash, new rom, new kernel, new recovery, any trick but nothing!!!
in adb only reboot comand work
Help me please
try the /temp/ folder or somewhere like that, which doesn't need system write permissions, or mount the system as writable. The commands to use after getting the blob on are a few posts up.
I've try this, dd if=/sdcard/blobrecovery of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 end adb whrite new recoveryblob, but after reboot won't work, restart anytimes on recovery....
If nothing else works, try NvFlash (in my sig) just released for Sbkv2
I also facing same problem. When i switch on my pad every time going to recovery mod can't go to android. restart anytimes on recovery....
Try a reflash of recovery, if all else fails, Nvflash.
Ok so run into same problem. However I can't get ADB to recognize it, I also can't get it to cold boot. Then lastly I can't get the version on her to see the sd card so I can't even load files onto the tablet to even try running the one script that was on here. Any suggestions from here?
Ok so managed to get it back to cold boot after running a new rom into it. Dunno why that'd work but it did. Gonna keep this file in place permanently. Would still like to see other options if you were in my spot since everything seems to rely on everything I was missing.
Nvflash. Yet again, only true rescue in a really bad brick situation.

[Q] Help with stuck in EEE page

My tf101 rooted and using rom Prime android 3.2 rom before. I would like to update to ICS.
Then I updated my recovery by using rom manager app.
After that my tf101 stuck at EEE page can load into recovery.
I can only hold vol down and power wait for cold boot into my rom. Otherwise the tf101 will only stay at the EEE page.
If press vol down and power . Then press vol up. It will said load recovery image kernal and stay.
Pls help me how can i boot into recovery and properly flash another rom. Tks
Don't use rom manager to get the recovery use gnufabio's recovery installer
The problem is it will hold at EEE page.
and only said load kernal recovery image.
You will need to re-install your software. This will restore your tablet to the .17 software and completely wipe your tablet, all partitions and recovery. You will be able re-root your tablet with Razor Claw on .17 software, then install the updates using OTA Root Keeper to get to the current version.
You can get the NVFlash version of .17 here. I imagine you know how to NVFlash your tablet, if not take the time to read how not too bad really. Just install the Asus drivers to your computer. There are threads that show you how and it's well worth the time to read them.
I tried installing a recovery through ROM Manager while at work with no access to a computer and did the same thing to my tablet. The good news is after completely wiping my tablet installing the stock software, and incrementally upgrading with root, my tablet has never been better and a lot of the little nagging problems have disappeared so it wound up being well worth the time and effort. Just take your time, read the directions for NVFlash and you will be good to go.
P.S. After you sign into your Google account your apps will begin to download again so it's not the wet blanket experience you might expect.
Use the recovery installer app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180&highlight=recovery+installer
See if it lets you install a new recovery, otherwise you may have to reflash your SOS and EBT (bootloader) partitions to fix this.
Cold-booting android (just hold vol-down and wait) should let you get into the OS.

[Q] Cant wipe transformer tf101

I was using my transformer for about 6 months and decided to take it to the next level and root it. so all went well and i got it rooted and then decided to add a custom rom. Now keep in mind I am a major NOOB. So i install rom manager from the play store and follow a video guide to put a jellybean rom on it. So i follow it and i crewed up somewhere. but now it just gets stuck at the boot logo. when i try to go into clockword mod recovery it works but fails to mount anything. When i try to wipe it just gets stuck and stays that way intil its have to force it to power off (trust me it not gonna do anything at the wipe screen i left it trying for an hour and nothing happened). So now im stuck with this broken transformer thats not able to do anything
ROM Manager does NOT work for the TF101.
Use EasyFlasher to flash CWM or TWRP using APX mode.
