Hello,
I need some help to get the new ICS update. I have a TF101 (no G), serial B80, with firmware HTK75.WW_epad-8.6.6.23.
Previously I was on 8.6.6.19 and used razorclaw to root it. Then I have done the wipe data, and installed 8.6.6.23.
When I boot with Power and Vol- then Vol+ to enter RCK mode I get the green android guy with exclamation mark.
When I boot with Power and Vol-, then Vol+ I get 2 options: Wipe data and android cold boot.
I used some apps to test if the device is root and they say no.
Sorry for my english, but it's not my main language.
Any idea to fix this?
The 8.6.6.23 is firmware for the 3G model. You will not see OTA since ICS is not released for G model yet.
You can try to manually install 8.5.6.21. You could also try rooting and installing cwm recovery and flash the ICS ROM
Thanks for the answer. I've searched around and it seems that I can't get back to 8.5.6.21.
When I try to install it I get the android guy with exclamation point.
I guess I have to wait for ICS on 3G model

Easiest way is to root, install CWM recovery and flash an ICS ROM. Either the stock rooted ROM or one of the many custom ROMs
I was in a similar situation. The ASUS recovery did not work for me either and I couldn't figure out how to install CWM. There is not a lot of help for noobs with B80s and with all the methods out there it was a challenge to find the correct one. Here's what I did:
1. If you are not rooted, follow the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427838 to get rooted. I had updated to the .21 firmware, and at that point, the nachoroot method is the only option. I had some trouble connecting ADB, but eventually I got it to work. This was the most difficult part of the process.
2. Install CWM. I was having trouble with this using the ASUS recovery, and I think it has to do with B80 models. I found the app in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180 and it is amazing. If you are rooted, it installs CWM even on the B80 versions. The custom recovery will allow you to install any rom.
3. Download the option B ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514658. Place the zip on your SD card. This rom is the ASUS stock ICS firmware with root. Contrary to what some have said--I noticed a huge difference with ICS!
3. Backup all your user apps and data with Titanium Backup (optional). Do not back up system data, just user apps if you want to keep them.
4. Open your recovery. Shut the tablet off, and boot into recovery by holding down the power button and the volume down button until you are prompted to boot into recovery by pressing volume up. Pressing volume up should load CWM.
5. Wipe and then install! To wipe, select "wipe" on the recovery menu. Then wipe all data, cache, and dalvik-cache. To install, select install zip from SD card and find the zip file you downloaded in step 3.
Best of luck!
Hi,
may i hook in here, i've got a similar problem:
i TRY to get in adb mode, but it doesn't work as expected:
i used this thread initially (ASUS Transformer Root ToolKit V7.1 Universal (Windows) | 2011-09-22), i downloaded the toolkit, connected my turned off tab to the pc, booted via Power + vol up, it got connected to windows and i installed the drivers. so far so good. BUT: if i start adb server and use adb device, i dont get any devices listed... i cant do anything. And when i use this nvflash method with the download.bat file, i get an error and the usb connection vanishes... i dont have any further ideas what to do. but i can boot afterwards normaly to 3.2.1, though i dont get any updates
any hints? Thanks for reading anyways
thanks, DK
[edit] i have the version HTK75.DE_epad-8.6.5.21-20111216 installed [/edit]

What you did was put your tablet into APX mode. That's only good if you're doing NVFLash not ADB.
To use ADB just have yourtablet on like normal with USB debugging turn on
Hi,
thanks for your fast reply, you are right. i got my adb device id when beeing in the os, so this works. but, trying to use nvflash/Brk's Asus TF RootKit over apx, i got the initial connection, but when i want to flash it looses the connection or dies or something... no idea what
you got any hints how i can come back to a clean version, which is upgradable?
thx & best regards,

Just picked up a TF101 and it had the Cryo (whatever it is called) OS with ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.4. The OS didn't pick up wifi on the apps but it is on and logged into the router so I did a reset. Once I reset the TF101, i am stuck at CWM. It won't boot into any OS or anything else. I tried almost everything I found googling (this site and others) but nothing works. I did, however, got the TF drivers for my laptop so I can connect to it but I can't get the USB debug option on (of course).
So what are my options? how do I "unbrick" this thing? is this what some people call it soft-brick as it does boot but there just isn't any OS in there? I tried to put the OS zip file from Asus on a MicroSD but when I went to install zip from sdcard, it i can't get to the microSD to install it. it doesn't find it at all.
what can I do? what are the steps in unbricking this thing? I got this for my dad for father's day (chinese father's day which is TODAY...) and would like to get it to him.
Thanks in advance!
Is it in a CWM boot loop? Meaning when you reboot the tablet it keep going back to CWM?
Try this to see if you can boot OS.
Turn off tablet
Push and hold Vol down plus Power button
Wait till you see a screen that give you two options
Wipe data or Cold boot Linux
Choose Cold boot to boot into OS.

still stuck in CWM. I held it down and no options came up except to push vol +. tried both and regardless of what i do, it just goes right back into the CWM menu. it seems there's no OS to this tablet anymore?
Is there something I can do via USB cable to flash a ROM in there?

If you have ADB working, you can push a ROM file to internal memory and flash it.
Alternatively you can NVFlash a compatible ROM.

Sorry to sound ignorant but what's ad and what command (extra code after the .exe) do I add afterwards?
I'd try to flash a ROM via NVFLASH.
You may download it from here, but you must know if your TF101 is WW version, US version or any other. You must also know if your device is SBK1 or SBK2. That depends on the serial number. For example, mine starts by B50 and it's SBK1. If yours is SBK2 then you'll have to take a look at wheelie. If not, take a look here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1620758
However, I'm not responsible for any damage your device might suffer.
Take a look at that and tell me
here's the endall- easyflash version 0.8.3b whitekidneys just updated it and saved my brick. it'll save yours too. just install it on your computer, along with naked drivers 0.7, put the tf in apx, and flash. literally that easy.
Follow the link to easy flash / nvflash and follow the steps...

I I have been searching for the net how to root my gedified xoom wifi 4.1.2,
My main objectives are
a) Root my xoom (because it is needed for OCing, but if i can bypass this that would be better)
b) Overclock it to 1.5
I have found 1 way root my xoom but i am stuck. The instruction says open the xoom and press down to display "android recovery" after i press up to enter android recovery it show : Entering Android Recovery Mode Reading ODM fuse:1. BUT after that i get the lying android with a ! on his belly. then my xoom restarts.
Please help me overclock my xoom because when i play Chaos Rings it lags, and its really frustrating.
Up, can someone help me with this?
up
So the fact that you're GEDified, implies you have an unlocked bootloader.
So, Install a custom recovery, I'd recommend this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235170
Then in recovery flash the zip file I have attached to root. credits to solarnz for making the zip file.
Yup i think i have a unlocked bootloader, can you give me a step by step instruction on how to install the custom recovery and flash with the zip file? (FYI: I'm a newbie in this kind of stuff)
One more thing this is my MAIN PROBLEM
I have found 1 way root my xoom but i am stuck. The instruction says open the xoom and press down to display "android recovery" after i press up to enter android recovery it show : Entering Android Recovery Mode Reading ODM fuse:1.

It's a really good, easy and simple GUI that can help install a custom recovery and more, the root function on it won't work though as I don't think it's been updated for jelly bean, but I may be wrong
yeah i think the root function wont work because i read the thread and the developer said he haven't tried it on jelly bean.Probably i'll just wait for his new update the 7heaven projekt. thanks for the help!:good:

Gedified xoom
I've been trying to access recovery on my gedified xoom and ran into the same problem. Only when i got the sleeping android with the i on the belly, the xoom did not reboot. It was just stuck like that so I pressed power button + volume up button to exit and what do you know it went into the recovery mode. The xoom now says
Android system recovery <3e>
Use volume keys to highlight ; power button to select
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from USB drive
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
Stumbled upon this by accident so dont know if it will work for you but hope it helps.

Ok so I am in the process of doing this myself. I'm kind of doing this off my own back as I cannot get the AIO tools etc to work, but there is a nice way of gaining root on 4.1.2.
So, assuming you have an unlocked bootloader and a PC on Windows do the following:
1) Download the root zip attached above in this thread.
2) Download the latest version with install scripts from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782235
3) Put the root zip onto the external SD Card
4) Run the RUNME file
5) Use option 2 to boot into fastboot
6) Once fastboot is loaded use option 1
7) This will then install the recovery.
8) Power + volume up to reboot
9) Do not let the device boot into android, it will get rid of the new recovery menu, hold power (on the Motorola dual core splash) and get the device to turn off before android starts loading.
10) Once the Xoom is off, start it again, pressing the volume down key rapidly until you see some options at the top, select recovery, press volume up.
11) Welcome to your new recovery! So, we need to install the root update. So select install zip.
12) Choose the root zip, go through the options and install it.
13) Reboot your device
14) Check for SuperSU
Congratulations, you should now have root on your 4.1.2 GED'ed Xoom MZ604
Going put this in a fresh thread I think for any other self proclaimed noobs in my position

Same here... this is driving me mad... everything people describe in other posts just aint happening on my GED wifi Xoom!!
Please explain.......
1) Download the root zip attached above in this thread. -------- where?
2) Download the latest version with install scripts from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1782235 Which file??????
Here is how I rooted my xoom.
follow the directions here but instead of doing step 1 follow this for adb install http://www.support-4-you.com/main/i...ged-adb-installation&catid=40:how-tos&Itemid= it is a 1 click adb install then follow from step 2 on.
When you are done there you can install TWRP 2.4 touch screen recovery (a much better recovery than what you used to root.)
Download TWRP2.4 zip and put on the root of your external sd card. ( if you don't have a sd card we will do it another way just let me know)
Boot into recovery by turning your xoom off.
1. press power
2. when the moto dual core logo comes on wait 3 seconds and press volume down
3. recovery should be displayed across the top press volume up.
You can skip steps 1- 3 now that you are rooted if you download Quick Boot open it, select recovery and the grant Super user permission
4. go to install zip from sd card (just like when you rooted) and find the TWRP 2.4 Zip and install
5. reboot your xoom
6. you now have TWRP 2.4 recovery installed.
Hi guys,
So this is my first post but I've been on XDA for a long time. I've been looking for an answer to this problem, and I haven't been successful in finding a post that regards to my situation...
Ok so I just got my tablet today. I upgraded to JB and then I unlocked it using the asus unlocker. I attempted to install TWRP, but when I use .blob files and attempt to load into recovery it didn't work. Anyway, I looked around and I installed CWM recovery instead.
I installed v5.5.0.4 following this guide:
http://theunlockr.com/2012/05/25/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-asus-transformer-tf300t/
Now, I notice it's written back in may of 2012 aka before jelly bean... anyway so I installed this using fast boot, and booted into recovery and it worked. I believe I installed the ICS version of CWM. I tried to install Clean Rom v3.3 and I just get bootloops. I can still boot into fastboot and clockwork mod fine.
I tried to install v6.0.1.4 via this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846554
But once again if I boot into recovery it just does nothing and reboots after a few seconds.
I re-installed v5.5.0.4 and I can wipe data/install everything just as I normally would, and I still have access to Fastboot. Can I get some help on how I can 1 install the correct CWM and 2 install a working rom? I don't think I bricked my device just yet since I can still flash in fastboot etc.
Thanks guys!
You cant't wipe data from bootloader menu, If you do that, you will get unrecoverable brick.
Sorry I believe I mislead you -> I wiped data from within CWM.
Anyway, I used this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757077
I went back to stock and I think i'll stay there for a little while longer, this process made me nervous (I've rooted my thunderbolt, droid DNA, galaxy tab 2 7" and my friends phones) so anyway I believe I installed the wrong CWM and that caused errors trying to install a JB rom on a ICS CWM... If you have any insight let me know...

My suggestion is to flash the latest stock JB blob.
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
Once you get it sorted then flash the latest twrp for jb.
Now, when I try flashing blobs and I go to boot into RCK (I believe that's the term...) it just reboots the tablet instead of booting into recovery.
Android software is out of my element, if this was some C (somewhat similar to C) or Matlab I would better understand (I'm a senior Mechanical Engineer in college)
Edit:
Ah didn't see your post. I did what you recommended, and actually, while my device said it was on 4.1.1 JB, when I hold pwr/vol down I see a completely different menu now than last time, so I wonder if perhaps my OTA didn't correctly load everything from the firmware update hmm...

The same way you flashed cwm.
Windows? Start - in search type cmd - press enter
In the cmd window cd to the directory with fastboot.
Hook cable between tablet and usb port on computer.
On tablet hold power and volume down till you see the bootloader menu.
Down volume till you are at the usb symbol - then volume up.
This should put you into fastboot mode - use the commands above.
Wait till the first command completes before you give the second command.
[INDEX][04 Feb 2013]TF300T & TG-INDEX of Roms/Dev Guides/Kernels/Recoveries/etc. You will find the stock firmware here as well as most other needs.
You will have to unzip to get the blob which you should place in the directory with fastboot.
Thank you very much.
So after flashing the most resent blob, I successfully installed CWM recovery and successfully flashed a rom. I'm not sure what the issue was before. Thank you for the help! much appreciated.

Any ideas? links to a guide i haven't found? (I have looked) or am I bushwacked?

TWRP recovery is advised instead of CWM, flash TWRP recovery and then try your ROM again
Did you use ROM Manager to install CWM?
That does not play nice with the Asus tablets.
You can try using PERI to push a new recovery via ADB when in recovery.
I would use ADB to push the TWRP 2.3.2.3 blob myself.

If you have TWRP installed as your recovery now, just boot into that, press WIPE, then wipe SYSTEM, CACHE and DALVIK CACHE, then press the Home button in TWRP to go back to the main screen and press INSTALL, choose your ROM, flash that, then clear CACHE and DALVIK again, then flash GAPPS and wipe both CACHES again, then reboot
You can also flash a kernel of your choice, KatKernel is the popular one to go with TeamEOS4 ROM

From a quick look at the PERI files I would assume this method:
Boot the tablet into CWM and connect it to the PC > USB
Download and extract the PERI files, right click and run EasyRecoveryV0.4.bat as Admin
Once its done you should have TWRP installed, instructions say it should reboot itself, but doing it from recovery I'm not sure, just make sure it says its done PC side then manually reboot if necessary
If all goes well, flash a new ROM from TWRP

From a quick look at the PERI files I would assume this method:
Boot the tablet into CWM and connect it to the PC > USB
Download and extract the PERI files, right click and run EasyRecoveryV0.4.bat as Admin

I really appreciate the help man!
PERI isn't working through recovery mode I guess. The tablet will show up as a device ONLY in device manager and I cannot access any of the storage and it isn't recognizing my SD card that I literally bought new a couple days ago. Please let me reiterate. I only have access to the "stuck" screen of EEE slider and can only get as far as the CWM recovery and using the volume and power buttons to navigate. i CANNOT get past this god forsaken screen.
Those of you guys who have the patience to help people in need FOR FREE are amazing and truly deserve a kings ransom! thanks again for the help so far! I hope we can get through this!

Been there done that. I had to use adb commands to push a new recovery blob. What version of cwm are you using again?
I have always had to use this one. After having this exact same issue.

Do you have instruction on how you fixed yours? or a link ?

This is what saved me. Alk I flash now is arhd and revolver. I do not attempt jellybean any longer......it was me, a laptop, and the tablet connected via usb and using adb commands. You are about to learn a lot.

So are there any handy links to a step by step of this? i found one for a Prime but i don't think it's the same thing....
So I followed this guide for adb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071584 and got all the way to the end'. Now i'm stuck, where do I go from here? I don't want to screw anything up so any pointers will help!
Also, i can do this adb stuff while in recovery mode right?
Thanks!
I managed to root my TF101 using this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1689193
The problem is I TWRP is not installed.
When I press Volume Down + Power buttons and then The Volume Up, my device goes to a screen with 2 icons, "Wipe Data" and "Android" and after 10 seconds it boots to Android. I assume this is the stock recovery.
I Tried:
1) Both EasyFlashers (http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...t/31927-frederuco-s-guide-root-rom-tf101.html)
2) Goo Manager
3) Terminal Mathod (http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/109)
All of them failed.
Is there anything else for me to try?
What were your steps when you tried using Easyflasher ?
I confirmed the device was in APX mode, through the device manager.
Run EasyFlasher.exe and chose the SBK1 (my TF101 is B60)
Chose "TWRP 2.2.1" and pressed Flash.
Everything seems to be working, since both in the command prompt and the device I get that the process was successful, but booting to recovery does not run TWRP, instead if goes to the screen I mentioned earlier.

Not sure it matters, but did you run Easyflasher as Admin ?
Ensure the correct APX drivers were installed ?
Reboot the TF once before trying to enter recovery ?
Held the Vol Down & Power from a powered off state until the white text appeared at the top of the screen, then hit volume up to enter RCK ?

1. Yes, I am administrator.
2. I used Universal Naked Drivers 0.72 from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942
3. Yes, after using any of the methods mentioned, I allowed it to reboot once normally.
4. Yes, I get the screen I mentioned with the Wipe Data/Android, when I press Vol Up after the Vol Down+Power combination.
When I say Run as Admin, I mean Right click the exe and choose Run as Administrator
I'd try using the drivers included in the Easyflasher bundle here (EDIT - Dev recommends the drivers you used anyway)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012
As it uses APX this shouldn't matter, but make sure USB Debugging is enabled in Developer Options too and let it install the drivers while powered on and connected to the PC
I'd try another USB port too to rule that out
Which SBK/Serial is your TF?
EDIT -Another thought, are you running a stock ROM atm? Which one ?
You could try using Peri to flash TWRP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681155
I tried the Peri.
Continue? (Y/N) Y
Starting... This will take awhile...
9444+1 records in
9444+1 records out
4835404 bytes transferred in 2.385 secs (2027423 bytes/sec)
Done! You should see some reported #s above.
Now we reboot the TF again, you'll see a blue bar.
It will take awhile to fill, then you have recovery!

Unfortunately, I don't see any blue bar. The device just reboots to Android.
The serial is: B60KAS103665
Yes, I use the stock ROM, I never tried to install a custom ROM, until now.
IML74K.WW_epad-9.2.1.27-20120615
Actually, my goal is to install the KatKiss ROM using these instructions:
3w.transformerforums.com/forum/asus-transformer-tf101-development/33773-official-faq-katkiss-rom-formerly-teameos-4-android-4-2-x-tf101.html
Is there any other method, not using TWRP, to install KatKiss?
Update:
I also tried to install CM recovery, using the 3rd option of 1-Click Transformer Root. Again, I don't see anything to get installed (a blue bar is not showing) and it just reboots to Android.
Lately, I have a problem.
I get a "DMClient has stopped" error twice each time I turn the TF101 on. I think this is the ASUS update process. Can this be relevant?

Your TF is SBK1, so should have no problem getting a custom recovery flashed to it, the only thing I'm wondering is if the stock ROM is causing problems, I seem to remember someone else with stock having problems getting a modern custom recovery flashed too
Unfortunately the only way to flash KatKiss is from custom recovery TWRP as the ROMs are released in flashable .zip format
Do you have another PC you could use to try and flash TWRP via Easyflasher ?
What OS are you running on your PC ?
At least one of the methods you have tried should have definitely worked, so long as the TF is in APX mode, the drivers are installed, and the PC can see the TF, Easyflasher should have done the job
I never recommend flashing CWM as it screws with JB ROMs, but it might be worth trying to flash that recovery first, then a custom ICS ROM, after that if you get that far, try installing TWRP again before trying to flash a JB ROM
Just make sure you don't flash a JB ROM with CWM recovery installed

Hmm, you could try clearing the data / cache from DMClient in Settings > Apps > All
Code:
1. Settings
2. Applications
3. Running services
4. All
5. DMClient
6. Clear data
7. Force stop
8. Shut down and restart the tablet
Maybe there is an old update file stuck in cache causing problems
Have you tried factory resetting it 100% ?
I did a few things, at the same time.
1. Changed USB port.
2. Used the original EasyFlasher.
3. Cleared and force stopped the DMClient, which I believe did the trick.
Now, TWRP got installed, although It also did a hard reset to my device. When it opened, I had to setup the device like it was the first time I turn it on.
Anyway, I think I will continue to Kat Kiss installation now.
Thanks for your help.

Ah good news, yea it does sound as if the DMClient was stopping the install, Im not sure exactly how it works, but possibly if the TF thinks there is a pending update, it won't allow the flash until its cleared
Good thing you mentioned it, I was almost at a loss as to what was causing the problem
And yep, now you have it installed, make sure you are up to date 2.3.2.3 (Use GooManager to install the latest version), and then you can install any custom ROM you like from TWRP

this has a beta twrp zip that is flashable, maybe help? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2308565
Hello,
I'm trying to install the MarshMallow 6.0.1 Release on my TF101 (SBK2 -BBxxxxx) with stock rom IMLK74K.WW_epad-9.2.1.27-20120615 and easyflasher (universal naked drivers installed correctly on windows 10). I can flash it correctly but I have the same problem as lefterhs.
I have also tried different version of twrp, latest easyflasher, different USB ports, with USB debugging on the device, still same problem, only choice is android and wipe data.
I have also tried with CWM but I had the error can't mount SD card. Rooted with 1-click transformer root. I begin to believe I will not be able to change the ROM. Any idea?
Thanks,
EDIT: Problem solved, managed to flash Roach CWM 5.5.0.4 from EasyFlasher and flash TWRP 2.8.1.1 from zip inside Roach CWM 5.5.0.4 recovery. Then followed the procedure in https://forum.xda-developers.com/eee-pad-transformer/development/rom-t3318496. Katkiss is running on my tf101.
