Recovery Error Formatting Data - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Doing this from my phone so don't flame me, but I'm getting an error in recovery trying to format data. Can someone help?
It's error removing /data/misc/bluetoothhd/F4:6D:04:4E:62:A4/config. Just says error formatting data. Thanks in advance

I don't quite get what you mean, but if you're having trouble deleting a file, you can try manually deleting it with a root browser or using ADB.

Can't boot into a rom

Put your tab in recovery mod, go to mounts and storage and mount data, connect to you PC, go to the command line and put
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/misc/bluetoothd/F4:6D:04:4E:62:A4
rm config
and then format data again

My computer won't install the damn drivers automatically. It would do that every time I booted into recovery while connected to my laptop, how can I install the drivers?

After you connect the tab and the drivers install, does Device Manager show anything related to adb?

The drivers won't install is the problem. I'm reading this guide right now to figure out what I need to do.

There is a thread explaining how to install adb drivers but I guess you're already reading it

Yea, I'm reading it. I'm gonna reinstall everything while I'm at it cause I installed the sdk a while back and just did whatever. I don't even remember what I was thinking.

Alright. I'm getting impatient. How do I manually install the drivers? Cause its still not installing automatically

It didn't work. Do you mean format via adb, or w/ the tab?

Just curious, out of about 250 views, no one has an idea of what to do?

Alright, out of being desperate, I decided to give nvflash tool a go, and now I'm stuck in APX mode >_<
It fails after formatting everything and says it cannot locate the recovery.img after succeeding w/e it pushed prior to that. So I'm assuming I can get it to work, I just don't know what to do from here...

Solved!!! I fixed it muhfuhkas!!!

[HOW-TO] Fix soft brick & error mounting sdcard

EDIT: I solved my own problem. Scroll down to post #8 for the solution.
My problem was that my phone (T-Mobile USA HTC One S) would not boot into ICS anymore, but I was still able to get into recovery (CWM), yet I had no access to the sdcard ("unable to mount /sdcard").
Post #8 below tells you how you can restore access to the sdcard in CWM so that you can push a ROM zip file to the sdcard via adb.
-J
Have you made any nandroids? If you have maybe you can restore. Also check in the download file in cwm that is possible place where that file may be.

Unfortunately I didn't have the foresight to make a nandroid backup. My previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy S 4G, which, like most Android phones, has a removable SD-Card that stuff can be copied onto (and then flashed). Not so here obviously.
Is it even possible to push files to the sdcard using the method I tried when in CWM?
When you push the file via ADB, have you tried placing it into a folder that you know is on the /sdcard?

It just got worse. I got the idea to format all partitions (data, system, cache, sdcard) through CWM, and now CWM can't even mount /sdcard/ anymore...
I had to do the same thing:
adb push "NameOfFile.zip /sdcard
then go to install from zip.
Look on sd card and it will be there.
I always rename the zip files to there can be less errors.
you can also do
adb shell pull "nameOfFile.zip /sdcard
make sure the zip file is where your adb and fastboot is
My problem is CWM can't mount the /sdcard directory, so I can't flash the new OS. Is there anybody that knows how to recover from that problem?

Yes, I just fixed my problem yesterday after some serious trial-and-error.
1) Use the All-in-One-Kit and flash your recovery back to stock
2) Boot into the bootloader and choose to "clear storage" and afterwards to reset to factory defaults.
3) Go back to the all-in-one-kit and flash a CWM recovery version again.
4) Reboot into recovery (CWM). Your /sdcard should now be mounted and visible.
5) Now, try the UTB rom (it worked for me), rename the zip file to something short (i.e. utb.zip), and push it to the sdcard using adb as follows:
Code:
adb push utb.zip /sdcard
6) While still in CWM, flash the zip.
The trick here is that only the stock recovery is capable of restoring access to the sdcard by it's proprietary "clear storage" option.
Good luck!
-J
If that doesn't work an easy fix is boot into bootloader, goto fastboot and use "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and so fouth. In the dev section I seen a stock tmobile naindroid. Download it and you'll have your data.img and boot.img. You should be able to flash them without needing to push to /sdcard. letme know how it works
I know you fixed this already just thought this still might help

Try to shorten the filename, i.e. "rom.zip".
And try this slightly modified command instead:
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip

[Q] huge boot problem

hello everyone
here's my problem
i've managed to root and install revolution HD rom but i don't know how while trying to instal brobot's metro ui
the tab wont boot and now i can't even manage to access to the boot screen ( the tablet stay at the Eee pad logo + nvidia) and i can't do anything with CWM as it can't read external SD card, no backup (with another rom or the original ics rom) and can't access to the internal storage from my computer
somebody can help me to fix this bloody hell ?
NvFlash for Sbkv1/2
If you have a slider or tf101G You'll have to try to get adb working, try universal naked drivers.
Then you should update your recovery to something that reads ext and int, so this doesn't happen again
ok i'm going to try this solution thanks ^^
will it work under Win 7 x64 ?
What are the first 3 characters of your serial-number?
If they start with B70 (Or a higher number/letter) It's linux only for now (Sbkv2)
If they start with B60 (Or a lower number) It's windows too (Sbkv1)

No. You need to install the android SDK. Then plug the device into the computer in recovery. You can try to mount usb there. Or run adb devices in command prompt then push the systemUI and framework-res through there.
this is the format
adb push <local> <remote>
code will be something like this
adb push systemUI.apk /system/app/systemUI.apk
and
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
all i was doing was fixing metro UI so that you can install it without bricking

The first would delete his data which he does not want and the second is not the cause of the problem
The issue is that by flashing a theme that pushes in an incompatible systemUI and framework-res causes the tablet not to boot. The problem is kind of like putting the wrong engine in a car so that it still looks fine and almost everything is in tact but it will not start

LOL I love that Analogy, yeah if it was MetroUI that broke it then flashing right UI files will fix it. Unless he already wiped.

Thing O Doom does this update script look fine to you a haven't really done many
Code:
mount("ext4", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1", "/system");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
unmount("/system");
and Magingl if you have a microSD try to put that into your computer via an adapter or phone and transfer the clean rom or my file then use that to flash via CWM otherwise push this file with ADB to /sdcard
Yeah that script is good.
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
also works. XD Yours is less lazy though.
I'm kinda noobish but i don't know how to access the adb console

[Q] How make the TF101 Stock and unroot?

Hi
I've been having heavy troubles with the "Android Revolution HD" ROM, my battery lasts forever while in use, but drowns easily and extremely fast when in sleep / shutdown mode.
So I give up, I am going to sell this tablet and I don't want this ROM any more, I don't want my devince Root. I want to get it back to the way it was when I opened the box.
The only think I'd like to get is the Eee Pad Transformer TF101 Firmware: V9.2.1.27 original from Asus to keep using the Android 4.0.X, nothing else.
Since all my attemps of install / reinstall / stock / root / unroot became a mass failure and later on I end coming here and QQ for help I am here to ask what need to be done before doing anything on the tablet.
So here is the summarized question:
How make the TF101 Stock and unroot?

Download any firmware on the asus site. Extract the downloaded firmware (eg. WW_epaduser9_2_1_27UpdateLauncher.zip) take the file extracted (eg. WW_epad-user-9.2.1.27.zip) and place on sdcard. Follow the same procedure for installing a custom rom.

Sorry, put the file on the external sdcard. I also used a full wipe script. It takes a little more than installing a custom rom but it works.
I would like to take a question with you. I have already installed several custom ICS rom or JellyBean on my TF101, but the HD videos on youtube are with small crashes. But with Android 3.2.1 works well. This has happened to you?

Did you see any text on the TF display? It should show some text when it is flashing.
Also, when in recovery you can use ADB to push the ww-epad firmware to your tablet's sdcard. Update the driver for the naked driver ADB and then:
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/
If you need ADB, you can get the adb and dll files required to run here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34321735/adb.zip

It is just the adb.exe and the two dll files required to run it.
I use those in a folder called c:\adb and then put the asus.zip in there and try it.
Also, try executing adb devices to make sure it can connect to your tablet. It should find 1 device.

Hmm, not sure what to say....
Do you have another PC you can try it on? At least try a PC reboot if nothing else.
Or perhaps a Linux live cd. ADB is native to Linux, just run from a terminal window.

Full Screen?

Hi,
I have root,is there anyway we can make use of this great screen easily by getting rid of the navigation on the bottom and the google search bar then use a pie app for navigation?
Cheers.
PS I did search the forum but did not see this question come up.

FYI this has been covered in at least a few threads here.
But this is what I did-
Install this app (it's what I use) or a similar one of your choosing- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tk.eatheat.pie&hl=en
And add this line to your build.pro to get rid of your navbar- qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
Reboot after editing your build.prop.
That's all you gotta do.

Did you edit anything else in your build.prop? All that does is trick the phone into thinking you've got hardware keys, thus eliminating the need for a navbar. There's no reason why that mod alone would cause your phone to not boot. Can you get into fastboot or recovery?

Well you can try using adb to push an unedited build.prop back to /system and that should get you running again.

Just download the stock ROM and pull it out of /system. There should be one over in the dev section.
If you're not familiar with adb, you should probably be able to copy the build.prop over with the file manager in TWRP. Just put it on your SD and use TWRP to move it to /system.
If you have trouble finding the build.prop just let me know and I'll pull mine and post it for you.

Okay thanks I will find it, I am on a ubuntu computer right now and am having trouble setting up adb on my old windows xp computer. ADB on ubuntu won't detect my device, I don't have TWRP installed or any recovery of that matter. Can only access fastboot

Well that's gotta be annoying. I'm not familiar with ubuntu but have you made sure your drivers are installed on your xp machine?

Look around for the drivers and manually install them. If you can't find them, this toolkit will install them for you- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2508817

If your backup got deleted then it is lost forever. Flash cwm again then flash the rom you used before L
You should keep a copy of the backup off your device. Maybe third time will be the charm.

There is the problem. You didnt tell where to push the zip.
Use this:
adb push rom.zip /data/media/0
after that you should see the rom.zip on the internal storage

If you don't have path variables set up make sure your rom.zip is in the platform-tools folder of the sdk.
NM. Looks like you do have path variables set up. That second longer error in you screen shot is because you put a space after rom. The first looks like it can't read it because your typing the name wrong. Remember it's case sensitive so Rom.zip and rom.zip are two different things.
