HELP!!!! TF101 C10 SN borked

Ok, So I've got a problem, I caused myself of course. I've been running one of the Jelly Bean beta roms that are out there and I wanted to go back to ICS. I've got CWM installed (the touch based one, 5.8 something) I threw Android Revolution 3.5 and the super wipe utility on the external SD card. I tried installing from that in CWM, however I couldn't mount the SD card. I moved the files from the external to the internal, and ran the wipe from there. Then I tried to install the ROM. Now I have nothing on my internal SD card, and I can't seem to mount the internal SD card in windows to put the files on the SD card to try the install again. The tablet will boot into CWM, but won't boot into anything else. If I don't boot into CWM it just stays at the Eee Pad boot screen. I've tried using a couple one click newbie applications I've found in these forums to no avail. I'm currently trying to install it via ADB (adb install C:\ROMfile.zip) and it seems to just be sitting there. I can see my device in ADB if I type ADB devices. I know all is not lost, I'm just not sure where to go from here. Thank you for your help!!!
Edit, I gave up on that and am now trying to push the file to the internal storage, but it isn't working.

Yours is one of the ones I've tried. Doesn't seem to flash a recovery, and I can't get it to install the stock firmware.
Perhaps it would help to list what programs I've tried:
Brk Root Toolkit
OneClickRecovery 0.4
Easy Flasher 0.8.3b

I can't link to the thread, noob that I am, but here was my solution to a similar problem:
OK. I managed to master the ADB command prompt well enough to "ADB Push c:\update.zip /sdcard/" Hey-zuss, there is a lot out there to read. After that, a few 2 tries with CWM got me to actually flashing '/sdcard/update.zip'
Steps I took:
Install the android SDK
Get the latest version of the ASUS ROM
Unzip the outer container.
Rename the zip carried inside to to "update.zip", and place it on 'C:\'
Start a command prompt in the directory with 'ADB.EXE' in it. (part of platform-tools for the android SDK)
In the command prompt, enter the statement, "ADB Push c:\update.zip /sdcard/update.zip'
Use ClockWorkMod to flash a new ROM, and chose the 'update.zip' from the root directory.
Chew nails.
(mine failed, so as a true windows user, I tried it again)
Chew nails.
Success.
The android SDK is easy to fin/install
The ASUS ROM is available from asus (find downloads/firmware for your system)
Now to time backup the ROM I have with CWM so I never have to do this again!

I've tried a couple times to use ADB push to put a ROM on my SD card, and every time ADB has said it successfully transferred the file. Yet when I boot into CWM I can't seem to find it, nothing at all is on my SD card, no folders, nothing, after the super wipe script for Revolution. I'll try again, and continue to do so. I've also found Wheelie which supposedly gets me NVflash on my SBKv2 TF101 that I might try and use to flash my tablet back to stock.
edit: well, for some reason this time the push worked! I'm up and running again!!! Thanks all so much!

[Q] First Time Flasher - Stuck, what's next?

Heya! I've followed the install instructions in this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997251
I got to step 5, "enter recovery, on boot led will be violet for 3'', during this period press vol+ ".
I wasn't quick enough on pressing the volume button so it started loading wich didnt do much good i noticed after a while. (stuck on loading)
Soo, i removed my battery to restart the phone, after wich i managed to enter recovery mode only to find myself not knowing how to execute #6, "flash rom zip".
I tried this aswell;
"1) enter recovery at first : after u switch on d phone, when the pink light comes, press up volume key to enter recovery
2) connect your phone to computer using usb cable
3) go to mounts and storage and mount /system and /data.....this will enable ADB in recovery mode
4) now put ur rom zip in the ADB folder of ur computer and start adb and type "adb devices" (without the quotes)
5) if it shows some sort of numbers, then the device is connected successfully
6) in adb. type "adb push /ROM.zip /sdcard" (without the quotes) (ROM.zip is the name of the rom)
7) then reboot recovery, go to flash zip and chose the rom zip and enjoy!"
I fail at #5, since it wont show any numbers. It wont find the device. Many hours of googling and trying different things the result is the same, and im stuck with a phone that wont boot to OS.
What do i do now? Any help appreciated! :victory:

In recovery mode,
Install zip form SD card > install zip from external SD card (if you have put the downloaded zip in your external SD card)
Oh you have to press volume up and down to highlight option, and power button to select it.
Hit Thanks if I helped you!

My options is as follows;
1. Choose zip from sdcard (i can only access the Tipo internal memory from here, not my removable SD)
2. Apply /sdcard/update.zip
3. Toggle signature verification
4. Back
I can't access my phone storage from my PC either, since the drives wont show. I've tried all drives and such that i've found, but nothing works.
Is there any way i can reverse what i have done (remove clockwork or such) to get my phone to boot again?
Or a way to access my memory, so i can add the zip to the internal storage?
Have i bricked my phone?
Thanks!

You have not bricked your phone. relax.
Well you have to select first option, then under that there should be another line saying 'select zip from external SD card ' or something like that (if I remember correctly) . If that does not work there is a workaround where you use push file via adb. I'm not too familiar with that but will pm you if I find out where I read it.
And now- to revert back,
Download the world fs ftf file found here (its rootable) -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001567
Download flashtool latest (search) and install (fastboot and flash drivers in particular)
Place downloaded ftf file in c/flashtool /firmware
press flash and follow instructions.
Your on stock fw now. Remember to place zip in internal card if you are attempting cm10 again
Hit Thanks if I helped you!

Woo, somehow i managed to install the stuff! It wont send sound to my headphones though, other then that it's all good.
Thanks for taking your time!

[Q] stuck in boot loop

I've got my tf300t stuck in a boot loop when i turned it on today. (Ive looked around the forums for this issue already and been able to find little or no solutions that work for me)
I'm using cm10 and twrp. last night i shut the tablet off as usual and go to turn it on today and i cant get past the white asus logo and device unlocked screen.
I can access my twrp recovery menu, wiping dalvik returns a "E:Unable to mount '/data' (tw_mount)" cache wipes fine no errors.
I'm unable to flash another rom or restore from a back up as well.
Fastboot says its working but in cmd prompt it wont list the device. (computer recognizes it and it shows in device manager as android adb interface)
If there is any other information needed I will be more than happy to provide it.
any tips or help is greatly appreciated.
thanks in advanced.

I'm not yet very fammiliar yet with TF300, but from SGS 1 and ICS I remember one trick. If you have external microSD pluged, take it out or of you don't have it plug it in and then enter TWRP.
It probably won't work but you can try anyway.
Does TWRP have any file browser? I'm using CWM so I don't know much about TWRP.

Yeah it does have the file browser, upon initial booting i can browse an sd card ( i have a few of various sizes none seem to to be having any affect) and i can browse the internal storage as well. Booting both with and without the sd card in the device still leaves me in the boot loop.

So, can you copy new rom to sd card, then copy from sd to internal and install new rom? I think only option you have is to reinstall rom.

I can and have tried but it wont let me flash with the "unable to mount /data" error. It tells that my external sd-card and whatever rom i attempt to flash has problems

Be sure your sdk is up to date.
1. If you hold volume down plus power button to get to fastboot.
2. shift + control right click fastboot folder on computer then open command prompt.
3. type devices... and if it is not showing a device there something is not right.
4. you can try adb push to apply a flash if your device is not wanting to flash from sd card.

I've tried this as well. It was my first thought. Also it states in my original post that fastboot doesnt list my device, adb doesnt list it as well. Both are recent and up to date. However device manager does recognize it and windows makes the little notification sound. In safely remove devices it shows up as fastboot when i enable fastboot on the device.

Stuck with ICS in CWM and no USB.

Upon trying to update my TF101 device to Jelly Bean using this guide (wiki.cyanogenmod.org/index.php?title=Install_CM_for_tf101), at the 6th step of Installing CyanogenMod from recovery (i.e., Select install zip from sdcard) the tab says it's unable to mount the SD card.
The exact error is: E: unable to mount /sdcard/
I have CWM v6.0.1.3 installed.
Now, I'm stuck with a TF101 that isn't detectable via USB (or APX for that matter) running ClockWorkMod without root. What do I do? I'd like to upgrade to JellyBean but if that's an issue, I do not mind sticking with ICS.
Bear in mind that I'm completely new at this and I might need a step-by-step guide.
P.S. - I can't post links. Sorry.

If you boot to ICS and enable USB Debugging in Settings - Developer Options, is your device visible from the PC?
If yes, then I would try using PERI to root and install CWM.
If not, then I would try installing the Hybrid Touch 6.0.1.2 of this recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855686 Download the file in ICS, place it in the /sdcard/, flash from Recovery and see if it will let you. If you can see your microSD from recovery put it there. Then reboot and you should have a working recovery.
I have seen quite a few people try to use that wiki 6.0.1.3 and have no luck with mounting the /sdcard/

No such luck. Still not able to mount the /sdcard/ and it doesn't seem to recognise the microSD as far as I can see.

Might be a bad USB cable. I have seen a few users (myself included) where my cable would charge, and be recognized by the PC but it would not do APX or ADB. New cable fixed it for me, and most others.

It was working till right after I fell into this rut.

I used mine for ADB, 3 days later I tried it again and no dice. Thought it was the ROM I was on, tried another one, still no dice. Flashed back to stock rooted, still nothing.
New cable, viola!

I'm unable to mount/unmount USB, as in, it doesn't do anything at all. My laptop still doesn't recognise the tab.

Phone not recognised by PC

Hello,
So I made the mistake of wiping my sdcard partition, so I don't have the .zip with the ROM on the phone's memory.
The ROM I currently had was deleted aswell when I formatted /system/. Recovery works, but because I don't have an external SD card, I can not put anything on the phone memory.
So now, I can not push the zip file with adb because my Moto G is not recognised, even though I installed all the drivers (in AP Flashboot Mode) it says that the USB is connected, but "adb devices" shows nothing.
So in a few words, phone memory is empty, it's not recognised by the PC so I can not push the .zip with adb sideload.

have you tried to connect an USB stick (in cwm or TWRP)?
Probably you can mount it and install a zip.

I found a version of the Universal ADB Drivers, installed them and the adb sideload worked.
Let this be a lesson for others with phones that don't have external SD cards - NEVER delete the ROM from your phone's internal memory
FIXED

Are you using Win8 or Win7? I have read posts from people that had problems using fastboot commands in Win8.
