That particular recovery won't ever let you into external memory card, you need to get back into stock that can done by using easy flash.. Use easy flasher to unroot and get back into stock ICS... then root and install some other recovery... you can find easy flasher thread under Eeepad android development thread.. I also suggest TWRP recovery... read all the instructions and use easy flasher... its pretty easy... follow the link below

Screen is and will be BLANK when in APX mode... APX mode is nvflash mode you won't see anything.. start the easy flash and start flashing stock ROM... YOU WILL SEE JUST 2 LINES ON YOUR TABLET if easy flasher is working and if its pushing required files.. if it doesn't then try removing and installing the required driver (naked driver)....

i seriously appreciate your help as your the only one who has responded as of yet....but what im saying is i understand that the screen will go blank when in apx mode....but when entering what i believe is apx mode my computer does not reconize that the transformer is plugged in at all......in control panel under usb there is no exclamation point warning me there is no drivers installed its as if i have not plugged in anything....

Same issue
I am in the exact same situation, flashed [ROM][JB][4.1.1] AOSP build #3 from here, same version of CWM Recovery. I have the AOSP Rom and a version of SMW touch still on my internal SD card but reflashing with various combinations of wiping data wasn't able to solve my issue. It will freeze on the "android" spash screen or on the "Optimizing android: starting apps". The CWM touch zip says it installs but the tablet still reboots into the 5.8.3.4 version.
I tried leaving it on both screens for several hours, but it never gets anywhere.
As far as APX mode, I have tried turning it off and holding the buttons, leaving it on and holding the buttons, various timings of holding the buttons as well as 2 different USB cables and 2 separate computers and a live CD of linux, but as far as I can tell, nothing recognizes the pad as being in APX mode. However, the screen does stay black, and it requires holding the power button down for ~20 seconds to see the ASUS splash screen again, after which it boots right to the useless recovery image. (Can't read external SD, tried formatting it FAT, FAT32, NTFS as well as different block sizes.)
I have another USB cable on the way, but the two I have were charging the pad as of 2 days ago, so I don't know how much issue that is. I have also reinstalled drivers several times and I must say I am about out of ideas.

Thats exactly my problem......but i dont think another cable will help.......was APX removed within an update?....
because it doesnt make any sense for APX mode to not work...

Without getting the transformer to be reconized in CWM or APX with a usb cable i think we may be sol...there is no other way to get another recovery or rom on the internal sd..

Yeah, the crappy thing is that it boots to recovery, so it's not like it's a completely dead. Feels like there's just something missing.

did you install the kernal with the aosp jb rom? im wondering if apx is written into the oem kernel and was taken out of the jb kernel..

The ROM has the new JB kernel incorporated into it, so it seems. You might be onto something about that, but from scanning the forums there were quite a few people who couldn't boot APX mode, and many of them just had faulty cables. I'm really hoping this 3rd cable works. I'll know in a week or so.

Since laptop is not recognising the tablet in APX mode try this, plug it in APX mode and o to device manager of your laptop.... there it should show up under other peripheral devices or unknown devices Sopwith a exclamation symbol... right click and choose update/upgrade driver.. I suggest you download and unzip "naked driver" from the easy flasher forum..
Once its updated and driver is in place it should do the trick of recognizing in APX mode... try it.... I hope you understood

It's not a driver problem, it seems to be a physical connection problem. There is NOTHING that appears on the computer. No connection sound, no unknown devices. Either our USB cables are bad or the device isn't entering APX mode.

It's strange that my USB cable is still charging the transformer....and before this it worked great for mass storage. I have a feeling you may have wasted money buying a new USB cable. As I don't believe that's the problem. I also think that APX isn't in the jb kernel wich means we cannot get any files to the internal sd or use easy flasher...
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app

I had ordered it as an extra before I even updated the device. I just don't see why the kernel wouldn't have APX mode. Maybe we could get someone else running this ROM to try APX mode? I can't post in the dev forum to see if maybe we did something incorrectly.

Which ROM are you using ? I'm using AOSP JB running on harmony kernel and it works just fine... have you installed Asus sync and tried whether it recognized your tablet? Also try different USB port... you can always wait for new cable but mean there is no harm in trying different stuffs out... BTW if tablet is charging then cable is fine....

In my op I stated I've used 3 different computers to get the USB recognized nothing happens when I plug in USB...Apx mode is broke.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app

The same happened to me and the only way out was to install the latest stock firmware from the Asus support site.
To do this all you need to do is the following...
Go to the Asus support site http://support.asus.com/Download/Options.aspx?SLanguage=en&type=1
Download the correct firmware for your device
Rename it to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip
Put it on your MicroSD card
Boot into Asus Recovery (by holding down the power and - buttons together and then +) and install the Firmware
Once it reboots, you'll have the latest,un-rooted stock Asus ICS 4.0.1 firmware.
I hope this works for you, It did for me.

holding down power -vol together brings up wipe data or android symbol.......nothing will read the sdcard with the update file in it....

Not able to boot in recovery menu

Hey guys,
I hope I'm not missing something obvious because I spent the last 2 hours searching for a solution.
Today I decided to unlock and root my Motorola Xoom 3G (EU-version, stock-android 4.x).
I unlocked it using fastboot and flashed the CWM recovery. But when I try to enter the recovery menu by pressing volume down when the Motorola logo apperas, it just says "Reading ODM fuse: 1". After that, it shows me a picture with an red exclamation mark.
I have no idea what to do now. Since I have no ADB access, I'm not able to do a "adb reboot bootloader" to flash CWM again.
Do you guys have any clue what's the matter? Thanks in advance
prisoner627

im assuming your xoom still boots up? if so youll still be able to get adb to work, just try flashing cwm again , you can also get fastboot working by turning the xoom on once you see the motorola logo count to 3 then press volume up and itll start fastboot protocol support
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Right, I forgot. It still boots up but I can't get through the lockscreen. There's a message saying "device not ready. please enter a valid sim card".

right unfortunately i cant help with regards to sim card error as i own the wifi only model but someone a bit more knowledge able will see this and may have the answer
have you tried putting a sim card in? what does it say if you put one in?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Alright, I didn't mind the branding. With a T-Mobile card, I am able to enter the PIN and use the Xoom as usual.
Before I really mess up, can you tell me what to do next? Unfortunately, I don't have a micro sd card here so I am not able to do the "Universal Xoom Root" ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242241 ).

ok so youve unlocked the bootloader using fastboot oem unlock?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Yup, unlocked it is.

ok next step is to push recovery via adb have you tried doing that again?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

recovery via ADB? I tried the CWM recovery image via fastboot last time ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074979 ).

yea you connect your xoom to pc let it connect etc etc, then open a command prompt in same folder where your adb files are located then type
adb reboot bootloader
once rebooted into bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery ( name of recovery here)
make sure youve downloaded the recovery image and not the zip file
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Alright I did everything, no errors. But when I boot into the recovery, I still get "Reading ODM fuse: 1" and the exclamation mark...

try a different recovery perhaps? theres a few on here ill see if i can find one i used and post link
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Yes I already thought of using the recovery of Team Rogue but it comes as a zip file, so I can't flash it, right?

cant flash it without entering recovery, im not sure what cauaing the problem , when you hold the power button and you get shutdown reboot etc if you press reboot do you get a second set of option ?? reboot,recovery bootloader etc?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

You mean pressing the power button in normal usage, on the homescreen? I only get to decide whether I want to shut down the device or not. But this wasn't different before I started "flashing".

aah ok must be the rom im on thats got it , im not really sure where to go from here maybe do a factory reset and try again youve unlocked your bootloader though so dnt need to do that again
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Same error with a factory reset... damn whats going on?

i honestly domt know i never had any probs doing mine and i asked my friendmwho has same xoom as you and he never had any trouble so kinda got me stumped lol
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

Guess I'll have to wait until someones bringing the big hint But I really thank you for your time. Since I know now that my device isn't completely bricked, you helped me a lot.

not a problem glad i could help even if a little lol

need bootloader.bin for my g2x

so i bricked my g2x it died while flashing to cm7 so i have no lg logo no s/w update screen no recovery ...but did some seaching and tried nvflash it hangs on waiting for boot loader to initialize been trying for hours no success but it reads n apx mode and nv flash recognizes it i have another lg g2x logic board that has water damage to it but still manages to turn on for a bout 15 20 mins then shuts off so i was wondering could i use adb or nvflash command to copy the bootloader.bin file from one logic board to my computer then to the bricked one but if som body could assit me that would be awsome of upload a bootloader.bin

Try the rom for recovery method in development section, should get it back to working.

Phone doesnt need to be on/booted. Install the apx drivers, take out battery, hold down both volume down/up buttons, plug usb cord into pc/g2x then run the batch file from rom for recovery. This phone is 99.99% unbrickable!

Bricked phone CM9??

Got a little question, any help would be verrry appreciated, uh I flashed cm9 on my infuse 4g from a red cwm and when I rebooted it got stuck on the samsung boot like it said it does, I battery pulled n retried it but it didnt boot up, so I booted into cwm recov. and it was all messed up, like a scrambled TV channel... I can't see anything, I tried to restore a backup just like from memory but it didnt work, I'm not sure which cwm version is used on cm9, but then I try to put it into odin mode and it doesnt go, can't connect to the cpu, doesnt go into odin mode, jus goes str8 to samsung screen and freezes. Anyone got any ideas? The scrambled cwm, from what I can make out, looks like its the one with the grey background... ne1 kno if thats the recovery cm9 comes with? Maybe I could restore my backup if I knew exactly how many times to press the volume up & down rockers and all that... idk. Again, any input'd b much appreciated

Sounds like you're still on GB bootloader..use Heimdall One Click by Qkster once flashed and return to stock GB rom then repeat procedure with tick mark on Flash Bootloader after that flash Entropy's kernel (all provided in the link) to get into red cwm then you can flashed your ICS rom after that.

Typo...I'm sure you meant he's not on GB boot loaders
Also to use Odin/heimdal you have to go to download mode not recovery
1) pull battery
2) put battery back in
3) hold volume up+down and plug in USB with out pressing power button
4) run Odin/heimdall

Don't remember exactly and don't have a windows computer in front of me
But, plug your phone as if you were going to download mode
Don't unplug it even if it doesn't go to DL mode
Go to "my computer"
I think you go to system properties
There should be a thing under system properties for hardware, drivers or it might be advanced...don't really remember
Locate the infuse under usb ...it will probably be gadget serial, or something like that...to ease the process disconnect all other USB that way only your phone shows up
Double click it that should open up a window of the driver settings
Uninstall the drivers
Unplug your phone, go to the ISET page which is sticked in the dev section and download the infuse drivers (don't use kies...)
Its not necessary but i like to reboot after installing new drivers
Now try to connect to download mode
Good luck, I'll try and clarify those steps later

Bricked g2x

My g2x will not turn on at all. I've tried the g2x_v21e flasher that someone made and still not booting. It is stuck in apx and will not light up no matter what I try. I've tried flashing CWM as well as the freezer trick. Someone advise me on what I can do to fix the phone. Last known thing was it was clearing the user data in CWM and suddenly battery was pulled.

Try the cleanup batch if you are able to connect in APX mode. That would leave it as clean as it can be.
