Never been able to install CWM since upgraded my tf101 B50 to ICS. It worked before ICS.
I am now using 9.2.1.17 and rooted using PrimeTime. I had installed RecoveryInstaller in 9.2.1.11 and it did not worked. Now in 9.2.1.17 I tried installing RecoveryInstaller again and it said 'App installed.' When I go to recovery using vol- + power then vol+, I got a yellow android laying down with a red traingle (with exclamation) on top of it. I got the same thing using 9.2.1.11.
Any suggestion much appreciated. Thanks.
After yo have install the RecoveryInstaller app, did you open the app and flash CWM recovery?
After installation, I did not open. I selected done and power off to go to recovery.
I am not sure what is meant by 'did you open the app and flash CWM recovery?'
I thought CWM is already installed after installation. This worked before ICS.
What is meant by flash CWM recovery? Thanks.

The RecoveryInstaller app help to install CWM recovery.
After you are done with installing the RecoveryInstaller, go to the app drawer and find the app, click on it to open. you should now see a button that say "Flash Recovery" or something similar. Click on it to install CWM recovery.
Your TF should reboot and you'll see the blue progress bar.
Many thanks, I though its a one click installer!
Edit: Great IT WORKED!

How can I get ROM manager back so I can restore my backup? Even after doing a factory reset the market won't show up and when I try to install ROM manager via my PC it says it's already installed.
How did you flash CWM? Through nvflash or through rom manager?

You need to install cwm the right way. (through nvflash)
This way you can boot directly into recovery and either flash gapps or restore from the nandroid backup you should have made.

I'm gonna assume that you flashed CWM using Rom Manager because if you did it through NVFLash, you can always get into recovery by holding power and volume down.
You can try google the Rom Manager APK and download that and transfer it over via usb and install it. You might need a file manager too in order to install the APK.
Also go to your Application Management and see if you can find Rom Manager, if you do, uninstall it then try install it via your PC again.
The last resort and something you should do anyways is Flash CWM using NVFlash because it will ALWAYS allow you to get back into recovery to restore or flash new rom incase something goes wrong. Rom Manager is only fakeflash.
There is a thread show you how to do this over in G2X Android Dev Forum.
And if none of that works am I looking at a brick?

NVFlash should work.

NVFlash will work for sure, unless your phone is not turning on right now at all (bricked).. otherwise, just flash CWM using NVFlash right now.. and once your done, just hold power and volume down and restore your back up or if you dont have your nandroid, get the stock one that is posted over in the Dev Forum.
I'm not very familiar with nvflash, I'll see if I can figure it out. Where do you recommend I start?
Over at G2X Android Dev Forum there is a step by step guide very very easy to use. This is the General Forum.

I should have looked, it's right there heh heh. Thx!
Hey, I did the step by step guide and successfully installed nvflash but when I hold down Power+ down volume it doesn't go into recovery. Am I doing something wrong?
I have successfully rooted using BRKs rookit software, but for whatever reason, CWM is not installing and when I do the power + vol button boot, it seems to go into a stock Asus recovery, not CWM. I have tried overwriting it a few times with BRK tools, but it just won't work. how do I get CWM on there? i can't seem to find a good guide. I have Rom Manager installed from the android market, but i read not to install CWM from there.
Are you sure you have rooted? Do you have superuser?

OK, so I installed the latest ROM manager after rooting my Xoom a few weeks ago and am not understanding what I need to do to have a good backup alternative. I was looking at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358524 but ROM manager doesn't allow backup to external SD card, flashing a different recovery, nor is there an option for 3.2.0. Any help for an app on my tablet similar to ROM manager would be greatly appreciated.

rom manager isn't to great on the xoom, get that latest rogue recovery.
Or just flash solarn's CWM recovery version 3.2.0.0. R4c image file through fastboot and just forget about Rom Manager. It's more trouble than it's worth, IMHO. You can just download QuickBoot from the market if you want to boot into recovery easier, or use Tiamat boot options through the power button if you flash the Moray Rom.

Yeah, I didn't even realize that after I flashed solarnz's image, that it was still there. I just powered on my xoom and tried entering recovery with vol buttons and saw the 3.2.0.0 R4c recovery and wanted to post back my oversight. You guys were too quick for me and have the same perfect solution here. Thanks for your patience everyone!
Cheers!

Glad you got it!
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.

When trying to update my TF I accidentally flashed an incomplete Rom (got lazy and didn't check MD5...) Anyway, ever since then it ALWAYS boots into CWM (5.8.3.4) If I boot w/Vol DN and let it cold-boot then it will go into a fresh install and setup fine. However, on the next reboot it will go back to CWM 5.8.3.4 I have flashed the newer CWM 6.0.1.4 v2 but it won't "take" the install seems to go fine but it always boots back to the old CWM. I've also flashed other ROMS and they don't "take" either.
Confused...

Install different recovery... use easy flash and push either TWRP recovery or rogue recovery... personally I prefer TWRP recovery.. once you have a new recovery wipe everything ( internal memory also) and install a better ROM...
