I have a new Transformer TF101 that I rooted with vipermod.
I tried installing CWM using the recovery installer at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180, but it kept giving me parsing errors when I tried to run the apk. This happened when I copied over the su from bin to xbin.
So I tried Rom Manager to install the CWM there, but when I try to boot into it, it would get stuck saying Booting recovery kernel image.
If I try to use the Transformer Reboot to Recovery app, it gets stuck at the boot screen and goes into a semi reboot loop where If I try powering it off, it automatically powers on again and I had to do a data wipe to recover.
Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this? I really don't want to be stuck on Android 3.1 forever since it won't update to ICS with the stock update either now.
The android version is 3.1, Build is 8.4.4.11.
Thanks!
I know you already tried this installer, but check out this link.
You could also try using ADB to install the CWM recovery: link.
Read through there and follow the instructions around step 6 since you're already rooted.
If this doesn't work:
Does the ASUS recovery not work at all? As in holding vol-down while powering on then pressing vol-up to enter recovery? If it does you could try an update.zip to flash back to the old stock version that supports old razorclaw and use that to flash recovery reroot and pop a ROM on there (stock rooted ICS or otherwise) I'll give further help if you have to resort to this.

Your firmware is to old for RecoveryInstaller to work. Manually update to latest ICS, root with ViperMod and use RecoveryInstaller for CWM.

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

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,

this is the program output btw:

Flashed latest stock firmware 9.2.2.6 ww
Rooted using 1-Click Transformer Root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1689193
Flashed cwm from rom manager with no errors or smth.
Then decided to restore to factory defaults the usual way, through settings.
Now I can't boot the usual way (continous asus ring) & can't boot to recovery - green android robot with blue sphere rotating.
Still adb sees the device in recovery mode & I can push files, but can't do anything because can't flash these files
Is there a way to flash recovery without fastboot or flash a rom?
First, ROM Manager does not work with recovery installation on the Asus tablets. There is a warning in one of the forums here about it.
I would use PERI to push a new working recovery via ADB. Then push your ROM to the internal memory and flash it.

Used OneclickrecoveryV0.4.
Now I cannot get access to adb: Volume Down + Power = Booting recovery kernel image
Also usual boot doesn't progress to Asus rotating ring, only Eee Pad logo.
Is there any way out of this "booting recovery kernel image"?
I left it turned off on a charger for several hours & decided to take a look once again before putting it into the box. Suddenly it just turned on & booted normally, wow!! )
Hey folks,
I'm currently facing the same problem.
I tried to root with 1-Click Transformer Root Tool v1.1. I received an error stating that busybox failed to install, also SuperSU wasn't installed. I started the 1-Click Tool again and it said that the Transformer is rooted. So I chose to install the CWM recovery but the script stated that the device was offline. That happened a couple of times, so I decided to install recovery via GooManager, which also failed ("no recovery was found for your device") and finally tried to flash twrp recovery using the terminal emulator - which worked - and rebooted the pad.
Since this reboot, it is not possible to boot the OS normally. It always gets stuck on the EEE pad splash screen, as cordlesspass describes. It's not possible to boot into recovery. I tried to fix this problem with PERI's tool which pushed and flashed the new recovery, but no change.
The only way to boot the OS is a cold boot. This works and the device behaves normally. I also tried to let it charge a couple of hours and then boot again, but no change. It still gets stuck.
I'm using no custom rom, only the latest stock fw.
Do you have any idea how to fix this problem?
AW: [Q] TF101G stuck on boot,cannot access recovery. Any way to fix via adb maybe?
So, for all those who have the same problem as I had, I found a solution and its a pretty easy one!
In my case, it seemed to be a permission problem concerning /dev/block/mmcblk0p3. So, I went through different threads and found a suitable solution here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530337&page=20.
All you have to do is to enter terminal emulator on your device (or use adb alternatively) and enter:
su
echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0
reboot
You should see the asus eee pad screen with a blue progression bar and then it should boot normally. Thanks to partio for this hint! :thumbup:

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.

I've been trying to get my tf700 rooted for a while now to no avail. It was JB Stock and i'm having a ***** of a time lol. I went through the unlocking already (says device is unlock on boot) now I am having a hard time getting the recovery to be installed. I downloaded the goomanager, ran the install script and it says it worked. (yet when i go to boot to recovery vol down + power then vol up, i get "installing update" Error!". so im assuming i either don't have a recovery or a corrupt one at that. What do you smart nerdy awesome h4xors. what do.

Goomanager needs root to access your system file. You can use motochopper to get root and try Goo again to install the custom recovery...
This thread [SOLVED] imo.
Use Motochopper tool to root
Install and run GooManager to install TWRP custom recovery
Flash whatever you want in TWRP.

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

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.

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

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?

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.
