I have not. I have tried multiple sources and roms (stock and modded). I can't get any to flash.
Well, I accidentally wiped my tablet. That didn't help. The exact error is

It is in a zip format. When I insert my SD card into my TF101 it recognizes that it has a system file on the card.

If it's the stock ROM, you actually have to unzip it after download to get to another zip file inside.

Some versions of cwm don't have the staging partition mounted. Go into mounts and see if there is an option to mount staging (might as well mount system while you are at it).
If there is no option to mount staging, use adb and type
mkdir /staging (it might already exist?)
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /staging
The last chars above are zero pee four- don't mess it up!
Then re-flash the rom.
If you don't have adb in recovery, then either repackage the rom or get a recovery that has it, although I'm not sure which ones will- I think roach's 3.2.0.1 will work, but you have to mount the partitions through the menu.

You can mount via adb or extract the ramdisk from cwm and add staging partition to the etc/recovery.fstab
I'm not sure which versions of cwm have staging. As I said, I think roach's 3.2.0.1 has it. I'm actually using a modded version of his, but I won't post it because it will probably cause more bootloops and headaches.

You could also flash a rom that doesn't use the staging partition.

I tried to flash the new ICS rom, but it wouldn't load for me either. Are you sure this is a staging issue? Also, why can't I flash the stock ROMs? After I get a new one loaded is this going to be a continuing issue?

I have the SDK installed and updated. How do I make those ADB commands work? I am in PROMPT and the correct folder. Sorry, I don't use this program often and haven't since I installed the mod originally and I have had my TF101 since they were new.

The stock roms usually use the staging partition, the custom roms are hit or miss, so this could potentially be a recurring issue.
rom the command line prompt, type:
adb devices - if all is well, you'll see you tf's serial number
adb shell
su
mkdir /staging - you'll get an error if it already exists, which is fine
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p4 /staging
exit
Then mount system in cwm and flash your rom.
Good luck

Well, that worked to flash, but now I get the Android goon when I try to get into recovery.
It sounds like it worked- if you were flashing the 86521 stock rom, it has a stock recovery on it.
You should receive the ICS update now. There is an ICS root exploit in the dev section by rhcp012345, if you want to root.

Hello,
i have just installed the official stock ICS 4.0.3 Rom to my Nexus S and everything was really fine... until i tried to root it. As someone who tries to take security seriously, i immediately encrypted the device using the tools provided by ics (works ok).
but unfortunatly it's now not possible anymore to mount /sdcard while in recovery, which makes rooting and installing updates impossible (or is there any other way? eg. fastboot?).
therefore my question: will clockworkmod recovery support ics encrypted devices in the (near) future? i know its gonna be a p.i.a. to type a password with only the volume buttons, but hey
i like the encryption and would like to keep it, but not beeing able to use recovery like before is a big drawback...
greetings
Georg
Same for me.
Hope to see encryption support in clockworkmod soon.
I bought Rom manager premium even if I never flash from rm just to support the developers... hope they will be able to get it sorted out
Op -- I'm interested in this for when my phone (EVO 3D) finally gets ICS. Will you post an update to this thread if you hear anything?
BTW, with TWRP getting touchscreen support, it can't be too much longer before CWM gets touchscreen since I think the guys in TWRP were going to start contributing to CWM, from what I've heard anyway. So that would solve the password typing problem.
Georg, thanks for asking this question as I've been wondering the same exact thing. Hopefully we'll get a good answer soon.

Its because the way encryption works you have to boot and enter code, that's the whole point, no recovery can do it atm

Thanks for the reply, DarkhShadow. The problem is that CWM can't wipe or format these partitions, since it can't mount /sdcard (which is encrypted). If I could only access the external sdcard from within CWM, I could just wipe everything and then install a new rom. But since it can't mount /sdcard, I can't access sd-ext. nvflash is not an option, since my TF101 is B90. Is there a way to either restore the stock recovery (overwrite CWM) or boot from the external SD so I can run a script such as "super wipe full" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1245892)? Maybe there's a way to run the wipe script through adb? If I can just format the partitions (which is what the script does), then CWM would be able to mount /sdcard and, consequently, the external SD and I can flash a new rom (such as revolution HD 3.0.1).
Thanks,
rmsilva
Honestly idk then, try a factory reset on phone(ie booted up) and then maybe it will be unencrypted?
Sent from my ice cream powered Nexus S
The funny thing is that stock recovery on an encrypted phone can write to the disk, but only from a warm reboot (perhaps the kernel stays resident?).
When I say write to disk I say apply the leaked OTA update, 4.0.4 for the VZ Gnex. And correct me if I am wrong, it's writing and mounting the disk, no?
Anyhow, this is done from stock recovery which is open source. So you ask yourself, why can't Koush support mounting the disk from a warm recovery state reboot? Maybe he doesn't know this?

Use tmpfs to install a new ROM in crypted system
Hello Everyone
To flash a new ROM you can do as follows:
boot in Recovery
format cache partition
from your PC use adb to mount /sdcard as tmpfs:
adb shell mount -t tmpfs none /sdcard
put your ROM on the (fake) sdcard
adb push <your rom> /sdcard
use the recovery to flesh the ROM as usual
This worked form me.
Sorry to be late...
What about a nandroid backup or restore? How big is /cache?

Sorry I didn't try with a nandroid backup but I think it is too big to fit the device memory...
You can backup data inside the sd partiton (phone up and running, just to don't lose data...), boot into recovery, format sdcard partition, mount it, put the backup in the sdcard and after install the nandroid backup...
I think that it could work but I am not sure. If after formatting the sdcard you can mount it, the task is done. You can put the backup on it using adb push and flash using recovery.
If you try please give me some news.

I'm kind of a noob when it comes to adb. What is that process doing exactly? How big is the fake sdcard? I want to make sure I understand all the implications before I dive in. Of course I need HTC to release a ICS ROM first. ;-)

First it formats the cache partition. Then mount the /sdcard so that you can access it from your pc. After you mount the /sdcard, you can put your rom zip into it. After the zip has been transferred into /sdcard, you can flash the zip as usual.
Since nexus s doesn't have sdcard slot, it mounts the internal storage as '/sdcard' to treat it like a sdcard, thus 'fake' sdcard. The 'fake' sdcard is around 13GB.
Hi all,
I'm here because I need your help...
Days ago I installed on my TF101G the recovery CWM 5.8.1.8...
now I can just go into recovery mode and if I try to mount /data I receive the message "no location found"...
how can I push a Rom on my TF to try to install it?
thanks in advance for your help
how to flash a ROM
The ROM to be flashed must be cwm flashable, you cannot flash official firmware unless it is repacked to be cwm flashable.
Your ROM must be a zip file, do not unzip it.
Copy (or adb push) the ROM to /sdcard/
Reboot tab into recovery.
Follow cwm flash instructions. There are many such a manual available on-line, one of them is:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-and-how-to-use-it-on-android-complete-guide/
You can just jump to section "apply update from sdcard", which tells you how to use cwm recovery to flash a ROM
One thing you should pay attention is:
if the ROM to be flashed is only a update to your current ROM, do not do any wipe work.
If it is a new ROM, you must do the wipe.
You can also try this....
hi Fenice82,
read this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213723
and read message 1 and 313 for mounting and the adb commands for sending cmw flash file to your internal card of your TF.
Make sure you have the cwm flashable rom file on you computer in the adb dir.
good luck.
I'm hege again...
thk nlheiz for your post...
I push the rom in my TF... I tried different location...
data/media
or
data
or
system
or
sdcard
or
sdcard/rom
if I go in adb shell and I use command mkdir to make a new folder like system,data,sdcard I see the the file already exist...
but my tf "can't mount /sdcard/" and at the same time if i try to mount /data from recovery I see the message
"Error mounting /data!"
what can I do now?
edit... maybe this can help you...

I don't have experience with cwm 5.8.1.8, I stayed on 3.2.0.1 because it is possible to flash from external sdcards.
cold you try this:
put our tablet into cwm (volume - plus power and when asked volume +) and connect it to usb on pc.
then on your pc:
adb devices
this should give you a serial number back.....
then try this:
to mount the internal sdcard so that you can push a new rom- use
adb shell
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p7 /data/
ls /sdcard/
exit
then from your pc, type:
adb push /path/to/your/rom.zip /data/media

I have access to recovery on my TF300T, I also have access to fastboot.
I can switch between Clockword and TWRP recoveries at any time.
I can not get a rom to load on my tabet. the recovery does not recognize external SD cards so I can not put a rom on that.
When I use fastboot to flash the default ASUS rom from their support website it does not boot it?
How could I have possibly bricked my device when I have access to both recovery and fastboot ?

Restore the backup to the ROM you were using before. As far as why the ROM won't boot, gatta talk to the dev.

The problem is I can ONLY boot into recovery or fastboot. I can not get a ROM to load on my device.
I little back story. When I originally bought the tablet I immediately upgraded it to JB 4.1 stock rom. After that upgrade was done I downloaded and installed ASUS official boot-loader unlock-er. I then installed TWRP recovery and it was like that stable for months. Just recently (yesterday) I tried to install HYDRO rom and it would not load that rom. I tried using the TWRP backup I created but that did not work either. So I still have full access to both recovery and fastboot, I just can't get any ROM ZIP files into the flash of the device to install with TWRP. When I use FASTBOOT to install the stock ASUS rom it will not boot either.
OK I was like has he never flashed a ROM before I gotcha..

The yes you can type exactly. This assumes the file to push is located in the directory with adb.
The blob file is everything required to put your unit back to stock ( all required partitions ). (you will loose root and your custom recovery).
You could just use the adb push to place a flashable zip on your internal sdcard and flash with twrp or cwm.
The remainder of the info would be if you needed the partition designations and mounts so you would be able custom formulate what you wished to do. You can just forget it exists.
You could just
adb push yourfilename /sdcard/
and then flash with your recovery!
this could be a stock flashable rom or one of the custom roms (remember the bootloader must match ICS or JB of what you have installed in your unit).
Sorry I confused you!

I'm glad you are working again.
I showed adb instead of fastboot because that was your request.
In theory yes CM10 nightlies should be ok OP shows JB ( everything has issues sometimes ). Nightlies for yesterday may work great and be totally broken today that is the nature of nightlies. No stable release for CM10 on tf300 shown. I have not used that rom. I have seen posts saying it is not for jb bootloader and others saying it is.
I would read some of the posts asking for help and try to make a decision from there.
I believe I looked at the source a short time back and saw it was based on 2.6 kernel. I decided from there to go another route. Don't quote that as I could be mistaken. Maybe I should look again, sometime.
Good Luck!
I'm not into over clocking. I would look at clean rom and hydro jb. I have used both and they are good daily drivers. No fluff, they just work!
search for the tool adb pusher here on xda. Then go to recovery. Now open adb pusher and you can send the file you like to your internal space.

OP has moved beyond the posted issue and is trying to decide on a non stock rom.
Suggestions?
hi,
I tried upgrading my tf300t from cm10.1 to cm10.2 . after a few failed attempts during which I am not exectly sure what I did wrong i got the device into a condition in which it only boots directly into CWM v6.0.2.3 without any option to do anything else. pressing power+volume down does not stop it from directly booting into recovery.
inside the recovery it says:
"E:Can't mount / cache/recovery/command/
E:Can't mount / cache/recovery/log/
E:Can't open / cache/recovery/log/
E:Can't mount / cache/recovery/last_log/
E:Can't open / cache/recovery/last_log/",
and i cannot mount any partition on the device. trying to access it from fastboot\adb has not been successful.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks a lot,
guy
I now recall that at some point after trying to flash cm10.2 didn't work I tried flashing the offical asus firmware blob. after that the device successfully booted but when I tried to return to the recovery mode I still could not mount the /data partition. after that I tried some more flashing which brought me to the current situation.
new development -
after installing the universal naked driver i was able to boot into the boot loader using adb and I even can boot the device to the os, though no change when inside the recovery mode. if the device reboots it automatically goes into recovery and to reboot it I have to use adb again.

Flash the updated stock ROM again via fastboot to reset it back to stock. then flash the correct TWRP and then flash the CM 10.2 ROM you wanted.

I've tried that and the device does not seem to be responding to the idea. in fact I dont think it gets anything I've tried to flash at all. the files do transfer but do not seem to install. after starting a flash with fastboot the device stops responding.

plus, the bootloader screen does not show the usb icon at all. I am flashing when the device is in the bootloader.
at the bootloader screen there is a message: "key driver not found"

OK you said it can boot into Android though. Use terminal emulator to install the TWRP and then flash the stock ROM from inside TWRP. Just make sure the TWRP matches your bootloader.

That means you are on the 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 bootloader. That bootloader doesnt have a USB icon, it goes directly to fastboot if it is detected and that is completely normal.

Oh i thought you still had CM10.1 on it. Can you flash ROMs from that CWM or is the /data thing messing it up.

the /data prevents me from accessing anything on the sdcard so i cant flash anything from inside the recovery itself.
so, after doing as the guy in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2425581 says, I managed to make the device successfully reboot to the os by default and even make it reinstall the stock rom and than twrp recovery. the problem no is when entering recovery, it asks for a password which i do not know. when choosing cancel it gets me in but now it displays:
"E: unable to find partition size for /misc
E: unable to find partition size for /staging
E: unable to find partition size for /data
E: unable to find partition size for /recovery
E: unable to find partition size for /boot

E: unable to mount /cache
E: unable to mount /cache
E:TWFunc::copy_log -- cant open destination log file: /cache/recovery/log

when trying to install a different rom the recovery mode fails to access the internal/external sdcard.
thanks in advance,

that means you probably flashed the wrong version of TWRP. Are you on the stock 10.6.1.8 or on a later version of bootloader? Those are different.

Use the 4.2 one. The jb will result in a very bad brick.

Moderator Notes: I was asked to sticky this thread as it seems to be a recurring issue and a couple of fixes are in the posts.
Sorry my bad english am latin.
Hi guys first thread here and i need your help. Here s the thing, i was using my tf700, browsering, and the tablet goes off, i tried start up and a bootloop appears. So i go to Recovery (latest TWRP) and i tried to flash a ROM (latest crombi kk), like always i tried to wipe cache and dav bfore flash it but that proces seems to fail, and a couple of messages like unable to mount /data unable to mount /system appears, first time happening, i never had troubles with the tablet. So i tried to get fastboot mode and run the fastboot erase cach command (i read in a forum dat some guy did that and work for him), so i download the adb fastboot files, i connect the tf700 to my laptop (windows 7 64bit) and a installing drivers message and i wait and the driver that is called Transformer did not install, i dont know where to get those drivers, i found a file Asus usb drivers and bla bla but when i unzip the file i get 3 folders and no .exe or installer. So i tried to continue and i enter fastboot mode in the tablet and connect usb tablet-pc, and now another driver installing message appears, now is a driver called Fastboot, so i wait anda again the driver did not install correctly. So i continue and open cmd and tried the comman for erase cache, and only appears the WAITING FOR DEVICE text. i donw know waht to do, i also tried flashing again a ROM, bt only bootloop, trie again to wipe cache and dav but is only unable to mount /data. Any ideas ????

More likely your data partition got corrupted.
Try wiping it or formatting /data in TWRP to see if that helps? You will lose everything if you don't have backups.

i already tried that, wiping (cache, dav, system, ata, factoty reset) anything gives the unable to mount /data error.

You'll need to manually format it using the terminal in TWRP
Make sure data is umounted then run this command. Make sure you have charged it as well or leave it plugged in.
It can take a number of hours to complete.
Code:
mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

You are welcome!
EDIT - somehow the format finally took.. after 5 or 6 reboots.. very strange
okay, i hate to bump this thread. but i have been searching for a few nights and i cannot find a solution. i am having the same problem as OP.
Essentially, my tablet was interrupted mid format. I believe my data partition is corrupted. I can access recovery/fastboot and the tablet accepts commands from my PC. i have TWRP 2.7.1.1 on the tablet right now.
i tried what sdbags said:

this did not work. i got the same "mke2fs 1.41.14 (22-dec-2010)" output, and then the tablet rebooted back into TWRP over again. (data was not mounted, i cannot mount it at all)
some more output from my tablets TWRP console:
Code:
e:could not mount/data and unable to find crypto footer.
e:unable to mount '/data'
e:unable to recreate /data/media folder/
updating partition details...
e:unable to mount '/data'
e:unable to mount internal storage.
e:unable to mount /data/media during gui startup
full selinux support is present.
e:unable to mount /data/,edia/twrp/.twrps when trying to read settings file.
e:unable to mount '/data'
is there another way to fix my corrupted partition?

Any advice? (sry for being this big noob!)
Code:
adb shell

make_ext4fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p8

Type in those commands via a usb connection to your device whilst it is in recovery.

Probably a Bad Idea - you should unmount /data before formatting. Then it should also not hurt to keep the recovery running.
Unbrick my TF 700t
Accidentally, bricking my tablet
I try Advance and Terminal Command with TRWP at tablet, it did not work
but when I try with command from PC (desktop), it works like a charm. I was able to see internal storage
from that just re install Custom ROM. Thank alot to sdbag
