Hi.
Just rooted my TF101 (B80) using ViperMod V4,5.
SU working fine, got root access and everything.
My only problem is that i cannot enter recovery mode. I get the android with the red triangle.
I press Volume- + power, then volume+ and it says:
"booting recovery kernel image"
After that i get the android with the triangle.
Any idea how to solve this problem?
What you see is the recovery, only it's the stock recovery.
To get cwm recovery, use RecoveryInstaller by Gnufabio. Just look in the theme app section

I have used the recoveryinstaller.apk and still the same result. Then i tried installing a recovery using rom manager but still the same.
Can i use adb shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 command?
P.S. I forgot to mention that i am on stock ICS ww.9.2.1.17
read the (epic noob guide) by luna_C666 in the general section.its got all the answers and more!

Yes (I think). I used basic root checker and it says that is rooted. It also ask for super user access for it.
Ok. Solved.
I re-downloaded the recovery installer and everything is ok now. Thanks
I had the issue where I had the constant recovery loop and had to manually cold-boot linux every time. Then I followed all the directions that supposedly fixed that and it seemed to work (I could boot straight to android from power off). Now I can't boot into recovery at all. It just hangs at the Asus logo if I choose "reboot into recovery" and it hangs at "booting recovery image" if I use volume down. CWM shows that my recovery image is installed but there is something preventing it from launching.
Is there a way to format the recovery partition and flash it again? I tried the CWM "erase recovery" and that didn't work.

I've got the same issue, can do what I want, but can't boot to recovery ... grrrr
Same issues with boot and recovery
I am experiencing the same issue too, except I can't boot into the OS either so I am not sure what to do... I'll read the epic noob guide as described above and if I don;t come right there i'll post a thread as my challenges are slightly different to what is already posted.

You have to hold the volume down at boot like you are booting to recovery, but then don't do anything and a menu to coldboot linux or to erase userdata comes up. Just wait and it will boot android.

After being rooted and flashing CWM instead of holding volume down+power.. just download this app from the market. Called: Transformer reboot to Recovery.
The app in your drawer icon is two blue arrows instead of orange and blue like the developers picture.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...recovery&rdid=com.transformer.recovery&rdot=1
Ive noticed alot of people having issues booting with Clockworkmod into recovery or using power down and selecting recovery. (unless its done by hand). That app is a direct way into recovery. Most ROMs ive seen do not enter recovery even when the option is present.
Here is gnufabio, Recovery Installer - flash CWM with a Click
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180
after flashing use the Transformer reboot to Recovery app i listed above. Ive used it and it works.. i use the app to enter recovery all the time.

So... I was doing the "pure root" method and I forgot to change the "boot.img" before running "root.bat" now when I try to boot up it's just a bad screen with a bunch of lines. I can boot into CWR but I can't boot by pressing volume up + pwr to get back into APX mode. How can I fix it? Also, "sd mount" doesn't work in CWR... Anything I can do or should I just flash a ROM thru recovery?
I have the same question. Any replies would be greatly appreciated

DiryShroomz, I had a similar issue with just a bunch of colored lines on my screen. I was also not able to get back into APX mode so I went back into CWM Recovery and flashed Roach2010's PRIME! V1.7 and everything turned out fine. TF is rooted and I have SU so I'm a happy camper.

I was actually able to get into APX and fix the boot img but now a ton of my apps force close so a wipe should do the trick.

Hey everyone,
Basically I was trying to flash a new ROM onto an old Nexus S of mine and when I tried to boot into recovery there was just a black screen. I pressed the power button and a single line saying "Clockwork mod Recovery" and the version number popped up. I assumed that the recovery must've been corrupted so I erased it and installed the latest version using fastboot which seemed to work fine.
Now whenever I try to boot into recovery I just get a blank screen with nothing else. I've tried using other recovery images such as twrp but the same problem happened, I just get the background wallpaper/image and nothing else.
I searched the forums and apparently people were having this issue earlier on when the i9023 was first released but now most custom recoveries are supposed to work with both i9020 and i9023.
Also the touch buttons light up and vibrate whenever I touch them when I'm in recovery mode.
Any help to this problem would be greatly appreciated as atm I have an old ROM which is buggy as hell and I need to get rid of it.
Cheers!
I had the same Issue. If you can boot into the rom, you can try to download the rommanager-app and install the recovery from there.
Hey I tried that already that and instead of booting into recovery it just went into the bootloader and said "No Recovery or Bootloader found".
Any other ideas?
Did you clicked the first point in rommanager? Install recovery, or you only hit the second button reboot into recovery?

Hey
I have the i9023 and I install rom manager. install CWM and if I reboot into recovery it works and I get in to CWM recovery.. but after reboot into os.. if I go into Rom manager and reboot to recovery it dont work? I just get the android figur and a "!".. then I just can Power + vol up and I'm in bootloader recovery..
Do I have to install CWM every time i want to use it? and can't I access CWM on boot op ?
sorry for my bad English
Normaly you have to flash the recovery only once.
Try to flash the newer clockwork-recovery with fastboot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686
Alfiedk: You need to get rid of this file:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
As it re-installs the stock recovery every boot.
I think you can download any custom ROM for your phone, and flash it in CWM recovery, this will also solve the problem
Edit: Did you unlock the phone? Have you tried fastboot oem unlock?

Yes I made sure I selected install clockwork mod. Like I said the problem isn't the same when I do this, instead of a blank screen, when I boot into recovery it goes straight to fastboot and tells me that I don't have a recovery image installed at all...

what happens when you try to temporary boot into the recovery?
instead of "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", try to "fastboot boot recovery.img"
Just look for an recovery.img that works temporary and then try to flash it permanently.
I'll try it and get back to you Xziped. If anyone else can think of any other ideas please just throw'em at me, I'm willing to try anything!
Yeah no help there either. It does the exact same thing temporarily booting into a recovery that it did when I actually had it installed on the phone :\.
I updated ROM manager to the latest and tried installing CWM with that but to no avail. It still says that there is no recovery installed when I do that.

Sorry but if not even the temporary recovery boots up, i dont know what else we can do
did you try some of the older recoverys? is your bootloader unlocked?
I haven't tried an older recovery and my bootloader is unlocked.
could it be a problem with my computer as opposed to the phone itself? As in my computer is messing up when trying to flash the recovery?
I've also noticed now that when I boot into fastboot mode the menu just locks up and doesn't respond to anything. Sometimes I have to pull the battery and other times it'll start responding after randomly pressing the power key a lot of times...
I'll try an older recovery next

Did you just say you installed CWM Recovery with ROM manager?
Did you try
Push and hold Vol down plus power button til you see words at top left corner
Immediately push Vol up within about 5 sec to get into recovery.
or you could use "Transformer reboot to recovery" app from market.
If you don't see CWM recovery do you see stock recovery?

For the love of GOD, if you used ROM Manager to flash CWM, you most likely have version 5.5.0.4... DO NOT USE IT!!!!
Refer to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530337
Use Recovery Installer found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180
That will install a usable version of CWM and save you a LOT of hassle.
Thanks for the help guys. Ill hit the thanks button on both of y'all since I used both . Worked perfect

So did you install cwm with ROM manager? If you did, so a normal reboot to sew what happened.
I did install it through ROM manager first but it never would boot to recovery. I tried booting through ROM manager and all it would do is reboot, so then I downloaded a app to recovery boot still just rebooted thats when i posted the question and yall answered. Hope this answered you question for me

You need to get rid of that "bad" recovery. Go to the dev section, get one of the recovery there, your choice doesn't matter.
(TWRP is a one I'm using myself)
boot into recovery and flash the new recovery.
When done don't use reboot option in the recovery.
Use the Vol down plus power button and let it get to the 2 options of wipe data or cold boot linux.
Once it boot to your OS, use terminal (free in Play Store).
Open terminal and type in the following
Code:
su
echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0
Reboot
*press ENTER after each line.
I tried that but it didnt work, im still stuck in recovery loop. Tried to unroot, still stuck in recovery when i turn on my TF. Tried to fix with '1 click root' but still doesnt work?? So lost

I had unlocked my TF700T and installed CM10, but it has never had the capability to reboot into recovery when enabled in the developer options -- selecting that when rebooting simply makes the ASUS logo come up several times, then it boots normal without going into recovery.
A related issue is when I download a CM10.1 update and tell it to upgrade, it reboots but doesn't install the new version from recovery.
I'm assuming something isn't unlocked or enabled somehow... but on the ASUS boot screen it does say "device is unlocked".

The button press method is the proper way to flash anything. If you unlock you BETTER know how to flash in recovery. Also, GooManager will not flash firmware on the TF700, you must do it manually from recovery, thus why the upgrade is failing.

Yes I certainly can and do flash all sorts of stuff from recovery -- first CM, now TWRP. But on my Epic 4G I just use CM Updater to download the latest ROM, then it asks me if I want to install, I say yes, and it reboots and installs it for me. But on my TF700T it isn't happening -- when I answer "yes" it just reboots without installing the new ROM.
Is it NORMAL with the TF700T to be unable to boot into recovery by using the power menu??
Is there something I don't have configured properly or didn't install something properly?

Yes (with the stock ROM).
Sorry, I should have been clear: I meant "with any version of CM?"
I use goo manager just to reboot into recovery, than flash manually. If I had to do the button boot recovery I wouldn't flash anything anymore.

Sorry I can't help you fix it. But getting into recovery is as simple as typing this at the terminal if you have busybox installed or use the rebooter widget from ROM Toolbox or the market app. They all do the same thing.
